Gosselin to Lohan on "Dancing With The Stars"

It is already old news that Nicole Sherzinger of Pussycat Doll fame, walked away with the somewhat coveted "Mirror Ball Trophy"- Dancing With The Stars' top prize, and symbol of the best celebrity / professional  dancing duo  for 2010. Never mind it would take a math professor to understand, let alone explain the complicated scoring system the show employs. Is this deliberate? The rather large elephant in the room is kind of a shared suspicion that the "control freaks that be" could not possibly allow a simple vote to determine the winner.  No one seems to really care. They are happy with the outcome; especially those whose business it is to bolster their Nielsen ratings.

The show has been an entertainment bonanza and runaway success for the network, and for most participants who have had a splendid opportunity to strut their stuff before an appreciative audience of millions. Even the losers claim to be winners- and this is probably true. Gaining a higher public profile is like " gold " to struggling performers, and even those wanting to re-kindle fame on the wane. Comedians and octogenarians are also welcomed.  

Network brass, wisely, do not want to abandon the winning formula, which has been an interesting mix of talent that has included retired, formerly high profile athletes, Olympic champions, singers and actors either on the ascent- or in the twilight of their careers.  Some competitors are plucked from reality shows or daytime soaps. Bizarre is good.  A malcontent or controversy magnet or two usually adds the shock value and irresistible spice to any "train wreck".  Can you say "Kate Gosselin"? Now you have it! This is by design. It’s a circus of beautiful and/or bizarre people posing-in-motion in the spotlight; all sharing that desperate desire to perform, to be seen, and, of course, to be loved by the viewers. Exhibitionism as art! Those so-called Hollywood celebs, athletes, entertainers and want-a-be’s are professionals... Yeh know!

The addiction is seemingly never-ending. Thoughts are already turned to next season's contestants. Who will fill the all-important role of in-house dancing disaster? DWTS central casting has denied interest in Charlie Sheen, Alec Baldwin, Britney Spears or Richard Heeney, (of balloon boy fame). What about Lindsay Lohan?

Not far from this scene, at the Andy Lecompte Hair Salon, Lindsay Lohan, is no stranger to such disharmony and havoc, is nursing a Kombucha- a new, and fashionable drink for the suddenly health conscious hipsters trying to hone an image of anti-oxidant laced sobriety. It’s positively saintly! This tea, highly fermented as it is, contains only 0.5 % alcohol. This should be little enough to keep Lohan sober- but not when her hair appointment takes over 5 hours.

Slurred speech is not fall-in-the-street-drunk, or auto-accident worthy, so Lohan claims this as a victory of sorts, believing the judge will never find out anyway.  This is where this story takes a curious turn. According to an unnamed but reliable source- Kate Gosselin is a regular at Lecompte's and just happens to show up, (with Lindsay's father in tow), as Lindsay was softly singing to herself under the dryer.

A heated argument broke out when Lindsay accused her father of spying on her. When Gosselin tried to defend the old man, Lindsay reportedly launched into a long, profanity laced tirade that concluded only when management threatened Lindsay with botched color issues, and then escorted an agitated Mr Lohan off the premises.

We have been unable to substantiate rumors that the purpose of Gosselin's visit was to ask Lindsay to consider competing in next season's DWTS.  The word on the street is the elder Lohan wants to expose his daughter to the discipline of dance and to thereby help rehabilitate her image. He has denied any separate financial dealings with either DWTS or Kate Gosselin. He insists no project is in the works to feature his daughter along with Kate Gosselin in a situation comedy with the working title, Double Disaster.

Gulf of Mexico's Waters have tested many ships before this oil spill!

The recent Gulf oil spill has perhaps shed new light on the centuries-old mystery surrounding the shipwreck of the Spanish Galleon "Atocha" which sailed and sank in a raging hurricane in the year 1622.

The search for the Nuestra Senora De Atocha confounded and frustrated the best efforts of  seekers of adventure and  fortune  for  centuries. Modern-day treasure hunter Mel Fisher spent 16 years of his life in a determined quest to solve the mystery of the Atocha- sometimes referred to as the Ghost Galleon because trails of artifacts and debris seemed to lead to dead ends.  How could a ship just disappear?

What does an oil spill have to do with a lost treasure ship?

The catastrophic environmental and economic consequences of this unprecedented oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has scientists and researchers scrambling to predict the path of devastation.  A  list of scenarios have been posited, including the  possibility the so called "loop current" will bring the spill all the way to the East Coast.  On the other hand, another current phenomenon called "cyclonic eddy" may deposit the oil elsewhere. These capricious if not whimsical currents and weather patterns  are believed to have been in play in the Atocha's final resting place.

Tim Osmondson, partner of Precious Metal Advocates, in association with Jack Magne; of Treasure Sails, Inc. has recently launched a new line of Atocha treasure jewelry appropriately named the Ghost Galleon Collection. Reached by phone at his office in California,  Jack Magne',  creator of the Ghost Galleon Collection,  feels "no amount of science can adequately explain the magic and mystique surrounding the world's most famous, and elusive shipwreck."

The Ghost Galleon Collection is a comprehensive line of authentic jewelry - featuring the world's first and only combination of the rare silver and copper bullion recovered from the 1622 shipwreck "Atocha". The collection includes coins as pendants; also bracelets, necklaces, earrings, belt buckles, rings and more. There are also one-of-a-kind handmade necklaces paired with select Ghost Galleon styles.
