drpeprfan: live and studio recordings for the last few weeks. Note: Definitely check out Jordin's studio recording of "Livin' on a Prayer," which is so much better than the live performance. This might actually be true of most of the recordings (Gina's "I'll Stand by You," for example)--except for Blake's from Tuesday night, which is even more impressive after you listen to the studio recording. Oh, and Haley Scarnato's "Tell Him," the charm of which is entirely in the live performance. Ahem. Queen Elizabeth visits Virginia; Queen's visit prompts protocol fears; Queen Elizabeth to attend her first Kentucky Derby.

Judge sues cleaner for $65M over pants.
Jin Nam Chung, Ki Chung and their son, Soo Chung, are so disheartened that they're considering moving back to Seoul, said their attorney, Chris Manning, who spoke on their behalf. "They're out a lot of money, but more importantly, incredibly disenchanted with the system," Manning said. "This has destroyed their lives."I think we need the Sarcastic KFC Judge to rule on this one.The lawsuit was filed by a District of Columbia administrative hearings judge, Roy Pearson, who has been representing himself in the case. According to court documents, the problem began in May 2005 when Pearson became a judge and brought several suits for alteration to Custom Cleaners in Northeast Washington, a place he patronized regularly despite previous disagreements with the Chungs. A pair of pants from one suit was not ready when he requested it two days later, and was deemed to be missing. Pearson asked the cleaners for the full price of the suit: more than $1,000. But a week later, the Chungs said the pants had been found and refused to pay. That's when Pearson decided to sue.
Manning said the cleaners made three settlement offers to Pearson. First they offered $3,000, then $4,600, then $12,000. But Pearson wasn't satisfied and expanded his calculations beyond one pair of pants. Because Pearson no longer wanted to use his neighborhood dry cleaner, part of his lawsuit calls for $15,000 — the price to rent a car every weekend for 10 years to go to another business. "He's somehow purporting that he has a constitutional right to a dry cleaner within four blocks of his apartment," Manning said.

David Yates to Direct Half Blood Prince. What this says to me is that Order of the Phoenix is really, really good, if they're willing to have him back rather than continue the rotating director thing. I still want Cuarón back for the seventh (haters, keep in mind: any problems you have with missing plot is not necessarily the director's fault), but the OOTP trailer looks fantastic, so...
