No Split For Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck

An online report that claims Jennifer Garner is “considering splitting up” from Ben Affleck is not true according to the actresses rep, who cleared up the rumors on Wednesday (June 25).
Ted Casablanca from E! News reported that “sources insist” the news is true and could “be the reason Jen and Ben are always seen cooing over adorable daughter Violet separately, rarely as one happy unit.”
However, Garner’s rep told Us magazine that the story is “100% completely fabricated.� There is not one ounce of truth to it.”

The Bahamian music and terpsichore tradition of Junkanoo, which traces back to the slavery days when slaves were allowed to pucker together one day a week for festivities, is amalgamated with the modern influences of dance rhythms, come out music and Latin percussion by Isaiah Taylor and his dance band, The Baha Men. According to "Billboard", the group "straddles the pedigree betwixt Caribbean and western democratic music and does so piece putting smiles on people's faces and a bounce in their steps".


Although their debut album, "Junkanoo", released in 1979, was to a great extent rooted in the Junkanoo style and featured updated versions of traditional Bahamian tunes, The Baha Men take in increasingly leaned towards modern music. Their minute album, "I Like What I Like", was produced by Tommy D (Michael Jackson), Don Dubose, John Holliday and Trevor Steele (The Escape Club) with Holliday and Steele co-writing five-spot songs with the band. The first gear individual from the album was "That's The Way, Etc.", a medley of tunes by K.C. And The Sunshine Band. The Baha Men continued their more-contemporary approach with their third gear record album, "Doong Spank", released in 1999. WHO Let the Dogs Out, featuring the Grammy-winning single "WHO Let the Dogs Out," was issued a twelvemonth later. The record album went on to sell over basketball team meg copies. In early 2002, the Baha Men attempted for more than Top 40 stardom by issuing the follow up, Move It Like This.

Originally starting out as a self-described "indie/alternative" act in 1994, Nicotine were first introduced to punk and ska upon their starting time American go during the summer of that year. Immediately after returning to their aboriginal Tokyo, Howie Sato (vocals/guitar), Yasu (guitar), Full (bass) and Naoki (drum) drastically altered their sound to something that was a lot more than aggressive and fast paced, piece at the like time melodic and catchy. Eventually, this "newfangled sound" resulted in their starting time mini-album Royal Mellow Day, which was released on their own Sky Records in 1996. Following their 1997 full-length Hola Amigo!, Nicotine re-released Royal Mellow Day on the ...Will Kill You!!! EP in 1998; all of which, features the high free energy pop-punk and ska undertones that they were impressed with upon their first circuit of the United States.

Ali Larter�s Embarrasing Weight Loss Fax

Actress Ali Larter has revealed that she was once told to lose weight mid-way through filming a movie, saying that producers faxed her manager and agent with the request, rather than asking her directly.

Larter, 32, who is engaged to actor Hayes MacArthur, describes the scenario as �embarrassing� and admits that she is uncomfortable being judged on her looks.

“When I was shooting a movie once, the faxes went out from the producers and the director to my agents to my manager to call me and ask me to lose weight,� she says.

“I just remember sitting in my trailer hysterically crying from the embarrassment I felt about myself, my body � and that no one could talk to me directly.�

She added to Allure magazine, “My fiancee will always say to me, ‘Please - you’ve got Hot-Girl Syndrome.’ I think that’s where insecurity comes from, because it starts with being celebrated for the way you look… and it’s weird that it’s something you did nothing to get.”
