PAGE EIGHT CANYON NEWS FEBRUARY 24, 2013 By Vi Logan BEVERLY HILLS—My name is “Miles,” and you may remember seeing “Priscilla,” who was aban- doned when she was almost ready to have puppies. Well, I’m one of the puppies! My mom is a Jack Russell/Chi- huahua mix and I’m not sure about my dad. So, not looking anything like my mom, I guess I must take after my dad in looks. How- ever, I have a sister, named “Pumpkin,” that you will meet next week, and she doesn’t look anything like either of us! So, we keep people guessing. We were born on Thanks- giving Day 2012, and every- one, including my mom and sister and I, were giving thanks that we were safe and sound at the Friends of Animals Foundation on the day that we came into the world. I’m a happy little boy that loves to play, but I’ll be just as content to sit on your lap or sit beside you. I get along with everyone, so if you would like to have a fluffy little puppy, and that you realize that I have to be trained in every way, I’m the one for you! I understand that Charles M. Schulz said that “Happiness is a warm puppy.” So, I hope that you will call to see me and find out for yourself! In case you’re not up to puppy training and would like an older dog, or not even up to walking a dog and would love having a kitty cat, please check the website which is: foafla.petfinder.com. We’re all waiting for loving homes to call our very own.

According to reports, the 37-year-old singer was found on her front porch after a report of gunshots being heard.

The lat- ter’s father and McCready’s former boyfriend com- mitted suicide last month. In January, the “1,000 Angels” and “Guys Do It All The Time” singer wrote on her official fan website "I haven't had a hit in al- most a decade. I've spent my fortune, tarnished my public view and made my- self the brunt of punch line after punch line. I've been beaten, sued, robbed, arrested, jailed, and evict- ed. But I'm still here. With a handful of people that I know and trust, a revived determination, and both middle fingers up in the air, I'm ready. I've been here before. I'm a fighter. I'm down, but I'll never be out." Carrie Underwood tweeted, “I grew up lis- tening to Mindy Mc- Cready…So Sad for her family tonight. Many prayers are going out to them.” Just last month, McCready tweeted, “Things have been hec- tic, but I’m still here…” By Katherine Noland MARIO LOPEZ EXPECTING SECOND CHILD By LaDale Anderson HOLLYWOOD—There ap- pears to be a huge baby boom taking place in Hol- lywood right now.

FERGIE ANNOUNCES PREGNANCY VIA TWITTER By LaDale Anderson HOLLYWOOD—Black Eyed Peas singer and solo star Fergie is expecting her first child with hus- band, actor Josh Duhamel. The singer announced the news via Twitter on Mon- day, February 18. “Josh and Me & BABY makes three!!!,” tweeted Fergie. Included with the tweet was a photo of both Fergie and Josh as kids. This is the first child for couple who married back in January 2009 after dat- ing for more than 5 years. The singer’s solo album “The Dutchess” spawned numerous hits including “ London Bridge,” “Fergali- cious,” “Glamorous” and “Big Girls Don’t Cry.” The singer has also dabbled in cinema with supporting roles in the movies “Po- seidon,” “Planet Terror” and the musical “Nine.” Duhamel got his acting start on the soap “All My Children.” Since leaving the series in 2002, the ac- tor parlayed into other acting projects including roles in the NBC series “Las Vegas” as well as a supporting role in the “Transformers” movies.The actor recently starred in the romantic drama “Safe Haven” along- side Julianne Hough, which peaked at #2 at the box office this past week. ATTEMPTED SEXUAL ASSAULT IN WESTWOOD By Katherine Noland WESTWOOD—Police are warning women on the UCLA campus about a man pretending to sell magazines who attempted to sexually assault a female on Friday, February 8. At around 8:15 p.m. on the 700 block of Gayley, a man attempted to sexual- ly assault a young woman after inviting him in her home. The suspect fled the scene and was last seen heading southbound on Gayley. The victim is a non-UCLA student. The suspect is described as a white male, around 25-years-old, 5’10” tall, and 200 pounds with a shaved head. He was wear- ing a navy blue sweat- shirt, light blue shorts, tennis shoes and sun- glasses. Anyone with informa- tion regarding this crime is encouraged to call De- tective Aresna #399 at 310-825-9371, reference #13 0241. GO FOR THE GOLD! HOLLYWOOD—Millions will be tuning in to watch the 85th Academy Awards, including the red carpet. Last year the show-stopper was Angelina Jolie, who changed red-carpet style forever with the leg seen round the world. Besides the red carpet we will be lis- tening carefully to the ac- ceptance speeches once again. So many of the nomi- nees have spent weeks working out, preparing over the perfect outfit, hairstyle and shoes, yet they neglect to prepare for the most im- portant moment -accept- ing the Oscar. I'm not going to look into my crystal ball and predict the winners; however, I will provide once again a speech guide for the stars. Oscar winners could learn a lot from past hits and misses. The biggest night in Hol- lywood should be prepared and nominees should give some thought to the most important seconds of their lives. I simply don't under- stand why these huge su- perstars decide to wing it. If only the stars knew how awkward they look when they don't have a strategy when it comes to talking to their fans and giving a memorable acceptance speech. Back in 1972: Charlie Chaplin, gone from Amer- ica for two decades, returns to receive an honorary award. He receives a 12- minute standing ovation- a record to the day. In 1973, Marlon Brando won for Best Actor for "The Godfather," and rejected via his 'spokesperson," Sacheen Littlefeather, an apache and president of the National Native American Affirmative Image Committee, who says the actor is declining be- cause of the film industry's treatment of Native Amer- icans. Thirteen years earli- er, Marlon Brando accepted a Best Actor statue for "On the Waterfront." In 1976, Louise Fletcher signs, "Thank you for teaching me to have a dream-you are seeing my dream come true" to her deaf parents af- ter winning Best Actress for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Be relatable and humble. Believe it or not think Lind- say Lohan when she took the stage in the movie "Mean Girls" to accept her crown, and delivered a tru- ly sincere, touching speech. In 2003, Adrien Brody, the youngest Best Actor winner ever, he was 29, lays a lin- gering kiss on presenter Halle Berry. Jamie Foxx's speech brought tears to many as he recalled his grandmother. The speech came from the heart, which made it brilliant and touch- ing. Hilary Swank's speech back in 2005 was humble and brought hope to all who dream. It was a classic speech that appealed to all classes of life. Sandra Bul- lock's speech for Best Ac- tress was humbling and heartfelt. The winners shouldn't appear annoying or arro- gant. Just study Julia Roberts when she accepted her Best Actress Oscar, when she addressed the shows conductor as "Stick Man" and told him to put his stick down. Back in 1943, the longest accept- ance speech ever comes from Greer Garson, who accepted her award for "Mrs. Miniver" with a talk that lasted six- possibly sev- en-minutes. Who could forget in 1985: Win Actress Sally Field won for "Places in the Heart." "You really, really like me," It had the audience in stitches. It was funny, sweet and touching. A superstar doesn't want to blank out and stare at the audience, or look for the lit- tle piece of paper of "Thank- yous" or do a Drew Barry- more speech a few years ago when she rambled on at the SAG awards. The worst case scenario, if all else fails, and you totally blank out and forget your speech, turn on the waterworks. Back in 1999, Gwyneth Pal- trow turned on the water- works when she accepted her gold statue for Best Ac- tress for "Shakespeare in Love." Besides looking pret- ty in pink in a Ralph Lauren gown, her acceptance speech had real human emotion and everyone thought she was sweet. Rose's Scoop: Let's hope that the nominees bring back the old Hollywood glamour in their gowns. Hopefully, the ladies did sets of arm exercises with hand weights. Nobody wants to see bingo wings flapping when you lift the Oscar. Good luck to every- one! By Rose Quintiliano
