Madonna and Her Creepy Arms - Fitness Sessions Gone Wrong?

Now, Michael Jackson's dead, the Queen of Pop Madonna ends up looking like a cadaver! With her arms bulging with veins, Madonna could literally scare any kid with those creepy arms! According Daily Mail UK, Madonna is undergoing extreme fitness sessions "with personal trainer Tracy Anderson, which involve gruelling two-hour workouts six days a week while drinking coconut water to keep energy levels high". This meant her workout sessions melted off fat in Madonna's body that the veins in her arms become too prominent to hide.

It's okay to be fit but having your arms look like that seems a scary payoff! Madonna met Tracy Anderson through her friend Gwyneth Paltrow who's also undergoing the same workout program after giving birth in 2006. Anyway, her personal trainer issued a disclaimer that Madonna's arms "has nothing to do" with her. Aderson claimed that Madonna's yoga sessions made Madonna's arms "too veiny and she even recommended to the Queen of Pop to put a stop to it.

'Harry Potter' Poofed Out by 'G-Force' in the US Box Office

Yes, the boy wizard and his magical friends bowed down to a bunch of feisty guinea pig spies as the current US box office charts last weekend declared the Walt Disney's "G Force" gained the number one spot. "G-Force" is a 3D movie, which is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Although the cast were mere small-time rodents, the voice over cast consisted of Hollywood biggies like Nicolas Cage, Sam Rockwell, Tracy Morgan and Penelope Cruz. The film opened at $32.2 million and "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" came in too close with with an estimated $30 million. Harry Potter was number one last week and it was expected to still rule in its second week, but "G-Force" had enough force to stop the reign of the wizard boy at the tills.

It was indeed a tough act for "G-Force" to come out triumphant in the summer box office race, but it only proved that a combination of nifty 3D animation, a stellar voice over cast, Jerry Bruckheimer and Walt Disney brands are enough to convince moviegoers to flock at the cinemas. The Katherine Heigl starrer Ugly Truth came in third with 27 million. Below is the official trailer of "G-Force":

Working with Clipping Masks and Free Transform in Adobe Illustrator

"You’ve probably heard of a Clipping Path in Photoshop. Well, a Clipping Mask in Illustrator is pretty much the same thing (Corel Draw calls it a “Powerclip,” and in Freehand, “Paste Inside”). It’s a vector path that masks, or “clips” out part of the image. Clipping Masks provides vector artists with more flexibility when building and organizing files. For designers, they can be scary at first, but are easy to de-mystify... Here we go:

In Photoshop and InDesign, Clipping Paths are often used to isolate an irregular shape in a photo to create a “cutout”. Since irregular vector shapes can be easily made, why would you need to use a Clipping Mask in Illustrator? Most of the time, they’re used to crop a set of irregular shapes into a neat, simple shape. In this regard, it can be helpful to think of them as “cropping masks.” Except with one benefit: the cropped or excluded part of the image doesn’t really go away, it’s just hidden. Let’s have a look.

Michael Jackson Death Photo Worth $500,000!

OK! Weekly reportedly shelled out $500,000 to put the Michael Jackson death photo on its cover. As other leading magazines feature Michael Jackson photos in his prime, OK Weekly stood as a tabloid as it is supposed to be by showing the King of Pop in the last minutes of his life. In PDN Online, a source confirmed that the "British parent Northern & Shell paid the equivalent of roughly U.S. $500,000 for exclusive magazine rights to the photo in the US and UK".

OK! Weekly is banking on the huge sales for this issue to counteract some financial losses that their publication is suffering from early this year. OK! editorial director Sarah Ivers explained that the picture "captures the surprise and the upset and the moment of this breaking news story". They expect the cover to "provoke" readers into celebrating the man Michael Jackson was and "expose that he was an eccentric character who lived a very controversial life". We just hope his family and friends would not go up in arms for this controversially grim cover photo.
