<p><strong>Donald Trump</strong> will announce his decision today on what action will be taken against Miss California, <strong>Carrie Prejean</strong>, for the recent controversial photos that have hit the internet.  This girl is busy!  First gay marriage uproar, <a href="http://www.bittenandbound.com/2009/04/30/carrie-prejean-breast-implants-paid-for-by-miss-california-pageant-org/" target="_blank">breast implants paid for</a> by pageant, naughty photos surface and now a porn offer.</p>
<p>The biggest <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2009/05/07/miss-california-offered-million-dollar-porn-role/" target="_blank">adult film company</a> in the world, <em>Vivid Entertainment</em> has sought out Carrie and have offered the blonde beauty $1 million to star in a &#8220;adult film&#8221;.  In a proposal that was sent to Prejean on Wednesday, <em>Vivid </em>made it clear that this was strictly a &#8220;business offer and has nothing to do with your religion or personal beliefs.&#8221;</p>
<p>You may not want to get too excited about Carrie heading down the porn path.   We&#8217;re guessing she will turn down the offer.  Check out what Carrie Prejean had to say about her <a href="http://www.bittenandbound.com/2009/05/05/carrie-prejean-defends-nude-photos-in-statement/" title="unveiled" target="_blank">newly unveiled racy photos</a>.</p>

<p>Over the weekend, <strong>Fergie</strong> gave the shoppers at <em>Nordstrom</em> at the Grove in Los Angeles a real treat.  The singer was on hand to introduce her new line of shoes and to sign autographs for hundreds of excited fans.</p>
<p>Her shoe line is a reflection of her individual style.  You will find anything from gladiator flats to chunky cage stilettos.  As for the price of her shoes &#8211; customers will not pay over $129 per pair.  Not bad!</p>
<p>Now on to her hair &#8211; Fergie is gorgeous.  Don&#8217;t get us wrong, we love her.  But, does it look like her part is growing more and more or do you think that her new dark look just accentuates her part?</p>

<p>At a time of historic economic crisis, the Screen Actors Guild has launched a campaign to strike, after contract negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers broke down in November.</p>
<p>At the heart of the dispute are DVD residuals and compensation for new media extras such as TV webisodes.  Among SAG&#8217;s demands is union coverage of any production that is made exclusively for the Internet and rights to residuals should those programs be repeated in the future. The union also wants to benefit financially from product placement, as well as the power to say no to, say, holding a can of Coke in a movie or TV series.</p>
<p>Strike authorization ballots have been mailed to the 120,000+ SAG members, and will be tabulated on Friday, January 23.  A yes vote by 75% of members voting is required to pass the measure, which would authorize SAG&#8217;s national board of directors to call a strike.</p>
<p>SAG members, who have been working without a contract since June, are deeply divided, making it tougher for union leaders to present a united front as they try to muster support for the strike authorization.</p>
<p>A number of A-list stars are against the strike.  <strong>George Clooney</strong>, <strong>Tom Hanks</strong>, <strong>Sally Field</strong> and former union president <strong>Richard Masur</strong> all signed a petition urging the guild to cancel its plans for the vote.</p>
<p><strong>Martin Sheen</strong>, <strong>Mel Gibson</strong> and <strong>Holly Hunter</strong> are among the A-listers who are for a strike.</p>
<p>The New York board, which comprises 14 representatives on SAG&#8217;s 71-member national board, issued a statement calling a strike authorization &#8220;irresponsible.&#8221;</p>
<p>SAG President <strong>Alan Rosenberg</strong> said he was &#8220;shocked and troubled&#8221; by the New York board&#8217;s request to cancel the strike authorization vote, but agreed to their demand to schedule an emergency national board meeting to discuss &#8220;the ramifications of this extraordinarily destructive and subversive action.&#8221;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, a group of film professionals has launched their own campaign in hopes of preventing a strike, which would potentially cripple an already troubled industry where production on films has largely come to a halt.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.savethebiz.org/" target="_blank">SaveTheBiz.org</a> is an &#8220;informal but devoted coalition of film professionals: members of the film community who work in front of the camera and behind the scenes, providing the expertise, equipment and services that help make productions happen.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We do not take any position as to who deserves credit or blame for the current dispute,&#8221; the group says. &#8220;We merely plead for an immediate resolution so that the industry can get back to work.&#8221;</p>
