Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Paparazzi Photos,
The 30 Rock star was leaving the New York City Marriage License Bureau with fiancee Hilaria Thomas when he got into an altercation with paparazzo Marcus Santos.
"He was looking mad. He said, 'Step back, step back.' I said, 'We're moving back,'" Marcus told The New York Daily News. According to the publication, Alec grabbed a second photographer, prompting Marcus to tell him to back off. "I said, 'Don't touch him.' I knew he was going to attack me. I stepped back, and he kept coming. He comes after me, starts shoving and punching me - one time, right in the chin. And then he started shoving me, and pushing me. Then he goes the other way," Marcus added.
"He was like crazy, you know? There was an eruption of mad. ... You're going to get a marriage license, you should be happy. What happened with this guy?" added fellow photographer Goran Veljic.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Child Stars,
The 26-year-old TV star - the son of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne - and his fiancee Lisa Stelly welcomed their first child, Pearl, in April and Jack revealed getting the diagnosis two weeks after her birth left him devastated.
"While I was waiting for the final results, I got really, really angry. The timing was so bad. I'd just had a baby, work was going great - I kept thinking, 'Why now?' Then I got really sad for about two days, and after that I realized, being angry and upset is not going to do anything at this point - if anything it's only going to make it worse. 'Adapt and overcome' is my new motto," he said.
Jack discovered his condition when he lost 60 per cent of the sight in his right eye. MS is an autoimmune disease which affects the central nervous system through the brain and spinal cord and people with the illness show symptoms with a change in their balance, vision and thought processes.

.)
The Barbadian beauty is thought to have been the reason for the fight between Chris, rapper Drake and their entourages at New York's W.i.P nightclub - as she has dated both musicians - and sources say she was on hand to look after Chris' cut chin the following night.
"Chris and Rihanna hung out at Jay-Z's 40/40 Club all night and it was clear that she loved the attention he was giving her. Those two have a thing for each other that will never die, no matter what, and they're on their way to really being back together. Chris just adores her. And she tended to him, making sure the gash on his chin from the fight was okay," a source said.
Rihanna originally left Chris in 2009 after he assaulted her, leaving her badly bruised. It was shortly after that time she hooked up with Drake, which started the feud between him and Chris.

Apple to kill Ping social network in next major iTunes update
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Corporate News, Internet, Music, Rumors,
Apple's Ping, the music-based social network that has struggled to find any sort of dedicated fanbase, is set to be killed off with the next iTunes update and the public release of iOS 6, according to The Wall Street Journal. According to the publication:
Ping, which still exists today in iTunes 10.6.3 and the iOS 6 beta - where it doesn't work, will be gone with the software's next major release, likely scheduled for this fall. And at that point Apple's social networking offerings will shift to Twitter and new partner Facebook entirely.
We don't know too many people who'll miss it. Ping has been a far too barren wasteland for far too long. If its something you enjoy, though, then start saying your goodbyes.
