Derrick Burts:After a positive test on October 9 adult HIV Industry Medical Foundation health care (AIM) Clinic, Derrick Burts, 24, adult men Movie Performer (aka Cameron Reid, Derek Chambers) who contracted HIV while working in California’s multibillion-dollar p**nography industry, waited in vain for more than six weeks for the industry-funded clinical AIM page to follow himmedical care and treatment

Then perform anonymously sought treatment for AIDS Health Foundation, a longtime critic of AIM and the lack of security industry workers, who organized a medical appointment for him less than 24 hours at a center Health-AHF without knowing its role in industry

Derrick Burts, a performer 24 years of films for adults who have tested HIV-positive on October 9 at Adult Industry Medical Foundation health care (AIM) clinic, a clinic funded by Sherman Oaks serve the adult film industry, will address the media publicly for the first time since reports of his HIV diagnosis while working in the adult film industry was published in mid-October, the creation a frenzy of international media and the closure of the California industry several billion dollars for adults for several weeks. Burts, who became known as “Patient Zeta after the first news broke, will appear at a press conference Wednesday, Dec. 8 at 10:00 am Pacific Time at the headquarters of AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF, 6255 Sunset Blvd., 21st Floor, Los Angeles CA 90028), which over the past four years has been the champion of reform independently safety in the adult film industry, including efforts to require the condom use in all productions of films for adults.

After testing HIV-positive clinic AIM, Burts, who made films in both heteroS-EX-ual and homoS-EX-ual adults in the months preceding sub screen names Cameron Reid Cameron Reed and Derek Chambers, expected in vain for more than six weeks to AIM and itsmedical officer, Dr. (Howard), Aaron Aronow, reference and relationship with a physician or other health care provider for follow-up medical care and treatment. Frustrated and increasingly worried about his health and well-being, Burts then consulted a friend from out of state who has returned to its network of AIDSHealthcare Foundation in health care centers in California South providing state of the art HIV / AIDS medical care regardless of a patient’s ability to pay. Burts anonymously then sought medical treatment for his HIV AHF, which organized a medical appointment for him within 24 hours of his first contact with AHF to one of its Los Angeles-area health care centers AHF-without anyone knowing that the FFA’s role in the adult film industry.

“Nobody should have to wait 6 weeks after HIV diagnosis to be linked to care,” said Laveeza Bhatti, MD, HIV care provider, physician AHF & M. Burt. “It is extremely important that once diagnosis is that the patient will be subjected to an appropriate location for the evaluation andmedical treatment. In many cases, immediate treatment is of utmost importance and the wait can be very negative consequences for the patient. Fortunately, Mr. Burt was able to obtain any test and evaluation done when he came to AHF. As has been diagnosed earlier, he favorable to disease markers. ”

“As a doctor I regularly see how HIV can be stressful when a patient has HIV. It is essential that patients are quickly linked to support services, counseling and life-saving treatment, “said Shilpa Sayana, MD, MPH, Global HIV clinicians and HIV care provider for AIDSHealthcare Foundation.” Studies showed that the care facility after the late diagnosis of HIV is common and is associated with poorer long term results. Any delay in obtaining the newly diagnosed HIV patients the care they need, is bad for their health and that of their relatives. ”

In early November, the skepticism of two officials from Los Angeles County public health and other HIV / AIDS medical professionals-directors of AIM said that after two rounds of follow-up of HIV testing on children and adults, no further infection by HIV appears to have occurred among artists who worked on the camera with Burts. The Los Angeles Times, officials of AIM said: “It was determined that patients Zeta contracted the virus through private, personal activity and there was no transmission of HIV patient Zeta someone else, “said the announcement. (Los Angeles Times, November 5, 2010, Molly Hennessy-Fiske, journalist). However, the Times article also noted Dr. Jonathan E. Fielding, Los Angeles County Director of Public Health, said that officials had not provided its AIM office with test results or protocols and that without this information it was impossible to determine how the patients contracted the disease Zeta and if all those exposed had been tested. ”

During his brief tenure working in the adult film industry Burts also contracted herpes, gonorrhea and chlamydia.

“We are extremely pleased to know that Derrick has been linked to care and receive appropriate medical care for his HIV AIDS Healthcare Foundation, a government funded supplier non-profit health care,” said Michael Weinstein, President, and AIDS Healthcare Foundation. “However, we are surprised that the multi-billion dollar adult film and its fig leaf of a clinic could not even meet six weeks after his first positive HIV test to connect to appropriate follow-up care and treatment, and that taxpayers, rather than the adult film industry will be left holding the bill.”

A study into consideration, the Institute of Medicine (IOM), the estimated cost of lifelong treatment for HIV-infected person is approximately $ 600,000.i thake thi news from

She told Britain’s Vogue magazine: “I didn’t know if I was going to go back to acting at all. I think for a long time I thought I wouldn’t. I think I intended not to work again.

“Carey’s a very good friend of mine and I felt if I was to start making films again, she was someone who would watch my back.”

Keira, who is in a relationship with actor Rupert Friend, explained she considered quitting acting because she had become disillusioned with her privileged life, but also because she was desperate to go on vacation.

She said: “I wasn’t enjoying what I was doing and I felt terribly guilty about that.

Oprah Winfrey Receives an Award at the White House:Oprah Winfrey was one of five celebrities -- along with Sir Paul McCartney, country singer Merle Haggard, Broadway composer Jerry Herman and dancer Bill T. Jones -- honored at the 33rd Kennedy Center Honors at the White House last night.

Oprah and Paul held hands on stage as President Barack Obama addressed the crowd, saying the recipients had “given the nation the extraordinary gift of the arts.”

He added: “Although the honourees on this stage each possess a staggering amount of talent, the truth is, they aren't being recognized tonight simply because of their careers as great lyricists or songwriters or dancers or entertainers.

“Instead, they're being honored for their unique ability to bring us closer together and to capture something larger about who we are -- not just as Americans, but as human beings.”

No Doubt performed the Beatles’ track "Hello, Goodbye" while stars such as Julia Roberts, Claire Danes, Steven Tyler, Angela Lansbury and Sidney Poitier attended the star-studded evening.

Helen told RadarOnline.com: “He’s just a solid guy all around.

However, the blonde beauty admits she is taking her romance slowly.

She added: "I just left a five-year marriage. I'm taking it slow and trying to be happy. I'm having fun, I'm dating and it's something I haven't had in a really long time."

Stephen Moyer Wants to Be One of Those 'Grizzly Old' Actors

Stephen Moyer Wants to Be One of Those 'Grizzly Old' Actors:Stephen Moyer was recently left star struck when he met his idol, actor Jeff Bridges, because he wants a showbiz career just like his.

When asked who he admires, Stephen replied: “Jeff Bridges, Clint Eastwood and Tom Waits -- grizzly old f***ers. I met Jeff Bridges at a movie convention. I said, ‘Oh my God, I love you so much!’ and he said, ‘And I love you.’ He can’t have had a clue who I was.”

Despite becoming an A-list star through appearing in True Blood, Stephen -- who is married to his co-star Anna Paquin -- still has to deal with the same sort of problems as anyone else. One example: Wrong number phone calls.

He added: “My mobile phone number is almost identical to that of a party supplies company in Venice, Los Angeles, so I get phone calls asking me for things like balloon helium.”

However, the actor is hopeful the company will eventually go out of business and he will have no need to change his number.

He told Britain’s Marie Claire magazine: “I’ve lived here for five years, it’s my number! It’s funny because I also know when the company’s not doing very well -- occasionally I get calls from the bank.”

Fergie: 'Touring with the Peas Is Like Touring With a Big Fraternity'

Fergie:She said: “I have a tour bus when we're in the US. I have my team on one bus, because I don't go out as much as the boys.
When I first joined the group I tried to keep up, but I'm a girl and I try to be a lady. I just can't go out as much as the boys do. So I leave at a different time and go to the gym and am responsible.

Touring with the Peas is like touring with a big fraternity. I'm lucky, I get to be the little mascot and once in a while go out with the boys and do it up. But I'm all about balance.”

Fergie also admitted she understands little about the business side of the recording industry and even gets her parents and therapist to listen in on her telephone calls to help her make sense of what is being discussed. She told Billboard magazine:
You know what? The business side of it? That's not my cup of tea. Will's great at it. He thrives on it. It's just not my personality. I want to get straight to the art. I have my business team explain it to me. I actually have conference calls where I have my mom and dad on the phone, my accountant, my lawyer... Once in a while, I even have my therapist on these calls. I'm not kidding.

I'm very cut to the chase; that's my personality. I don't like to speak in circles. So when people do that I'm trying to find out, ‘OK, guys, what are we really talking about here?’ So my therapist listens in.

It's very important to make informed decisions. I can be very impulsive, which is great as an artist but not as a businesswoman. So I have to slow down and surround myself with a great support team.”

Happy St. Nicholas Day

Happy St. Nicholas Day:Have you been good this year? If so, don’t be surprised to find a special treat in your stocking today, December 6. The annual St. Nicholas Day is officially here, which is great news for all the good little boys and girls out there—no matter your age.

In the European countries that don’t have an equivalent of Black Friday to mark the official start of the winter holiday season, the St. Nicholas Day serves just this purpose—signaling the time to get out the Christmas lights and embark on the weeks-long holiday celebrations.
Christmas Stockings Hanging over Fireplace

Per centuries-spanning European tradition, the old St. Nicholas makes his rounds on this special day, delighting children—and those young at heart—with a multitude of toys, treats, and even coins. According to the ancient legend, the good kids are handsomely rewarded, whereas the naughty ones receive stern warnings instead.

St. Nicholas usually deposits his generous gifts into the special holiday stockings (or sometimes even plain old boots!) when no one is looking. Oh, what a darling surprise it would be to find a present in your shoe!

Some believe that St. Nicholas Day actually inspired the modern-day Santa Claus and the Christmas gift exchange, and that could very well be the case given the many superficial similarities of the two traditions. Either way, however, the St. Nicholas Day is a jolly occasion suitable for all the kids from two to 92.

So, Happy St. Nicholas Day to you! Enjoy!

Ben Roethlisberger Broken Nose

Ben Roethlisberger Broken Nose:If you were watching the Steelers Ravens game last night, “Ben Roethlisberger Broken Nose” comes as no surprise to you. It happened in the first quarter of the game.

I have to admit that I’m more of a sit beside my husband reading a book while the game is on type of a girl rather than one who doesn’t take her eyes off the screen.

But, even I could see that Steeler Ben Roethlisberger had a broken nose. Thanks to the beauty of being able to pause live television, I got a good look, as my husband paused it and then played it in slow motion so that I could get a good look at just how crooked and out of place his nose was.

But, then the announcers were saying that it wasn’t broken. I rolled my eyes and went back to my book.

So, the news this morning really comes as no surprise.

Ben Roethlisberger needs surgery to repair his broken nose.

He kept playing despite his broken nose. Oh, AND a sprained foot that he was wearing a special shoe for reinforcement.

As parents, is this the sort of example you want for your kids? I know I don’t want mine sitting on the sidelines over every little bump and bruise. But, is this taking that toughen up attitude a little too far?

Audrina Patridge Talks Teenage Rebellion

Audrina Patridge Talks Teenage Rebellion:
She’s always been more of the good girl type, but Audrina Patridge recently admitted that she faked a note to ditch school back in the day. On When I was 17, the Hills babe described the circumstances surrounding her teenage truancy.

"One day, my friends and I decided to ditch school and go to the beach, and I wrote a fake note: 'Please excuse Audrina Patridge. She wasn't feeling well today. Any questions, call.' So I just ditched school and I went [to the beach], and our counselor at the time called my mom and asked where I was, and so she covered for me. She told them that I was really, really sick and that I was throwing up, and she did it to embarrass me, because when they called me into the office the next day, I had to sit there in front of all of them and tell them that I was throwing up and that I had diarrhea and I had to stick to her story. It was probably one of the last times I ever ditched — first and last...."

Sarah Jessica Parker Hates the Thought of Being Away from Her Kids

Sarah Jessica:Between looking after her kids, working on her new movie I Don't Know How She Does It and acting as President of the fashion label Halston, Sarah Jessica Parker has a lot on her hands. And she admits she's dreading how much time she'll have to spend apart from her family, including her eight-year-old son James Wilkie and 17-month-old twin daughters Loretta and Tabitha.

She said: "Even now I think about the separation and it makes my stomach hurt. I think about my son waking up on his birthday without me there, and I could die."

The twins were born to a surrogate mother and Sarah Jessica admits she was left stunned the first time she met the babies.

She recalled to the January edition of Elle magazine: "Everything was suspended. I can't even tell you what other sounds were in the room. I loved them immediately, but everything -- their size, the shape of their heads, the colour of their hair, their noses, their eyes -- was new to me. They looked surprisingly different from James Wilkie, which I wasn't expecting."

Although the actress worries about getting older, she's resigned to the fact there is little she can do to halt the aging process without looking unnatural.

She said: "I don't know what I can do about the aging.

"Yes, I am aging. Oh my God, I'm aging all the time. It's like those flowers that wilt in front of you in time-lapse films. But what can I possibly do? Look like a lunatic?"

'I Didn't Want to Be Like All the Other Artists' "RIHANA"

Rihanna:Rihanna definitely doesn't blend in with the crowd now -- just look at her hair! -- but the pop star says she only began to stand out in a career sense after her third album Good Girl Gone Bad. She says that album set her apart from the typical pop star formula.

Rihanna (Photo Agency)
She said: “I had a ridiculous schedule. It was kind of unfair. But I kept going. I was focusing on getting people to respect me as an artist, making my stamp in the industry. I wasn’t 100 percent or even 75 percent in control of my image or my sound.

I said, ‘If you guys keep this perfect image of me, people will never notice me.’ I kind of blended in. It was safe, the blonde, curly hair. It was a formula. I didn’t want to be like all the other artists. I wanted to stand out. And the only way I could do that was by taking charge of my image and sound. And it worked. ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ was a big turning point for me.”

Despite her problems, the "Only Girl (In the World)" hitmaker believes she would still advise her younger self to continue working hard to achieve her goals. She told Britain’s GQ magazine: “I’d tell her to go for it. Nothing in life comes easy. Everything comes with a sacrifice. If this is what I love to do most then I have to put up with the s**t that I don’t love that comes with it. And I have to work.”

Heidi Montag Is Learning Self-Defense Because She Can't Afford a Bodyguard

Heidi Montag:Heidi Montag recently admitted she and husband Spencer Pratt are on the verge of bankruptcy, meaning they've had to make some lifestyle changes to stay afloat.

She admitted: “I can’t afford security, so I practice self-defense and chain punching.

“I have spent millions on security in the last four years because I had to take care of the cost all on my own. It’s crazy and it’s hard, but life is not always fair.

“I have had to change my life. I can’t afford to go out to the clubs anymore because the sort of protection I need can cost anywhere from five to 10 thousand dollars a night ... when you travel it’s even worse, because you need to cover the guards travel, food lodging, etc and pay them. That is actually where all my money went because safety is number one.”

Although Heidi is learning ways to protect herself, she is not yet confident in her abilities and admits she has started leaving the house less and less.

She told RadarOnline.com: “It is scary to be out there without protection, people do follow me and you can never be too careful.

“It’s overwhelming, and it’s most difficult when I’m in large groups of people.

“I’m not ready to go out alone yet ... I’m only 5ft 2ins tall and have a small frame so I understand I can’t completely do it alone. Which is why I don’t go out as much anymore.

“Half the reason I am laying low and staying to myself is because I don’t have that security like I used too, and you never can predict what will happen.”

Despite her safety worries, the blonde beauty says the lessons have given her a confidence boost.

She added: “It gives me a confidence I didn’t have before. I am doing this self-defense because it gives me inner strength, and I feel safe in my home. It’s a deterrent, but I know I can’t do what the bodyguards do.”
