**** TIMES SQUARE GOSSIP MUSIC I enjoyed Vocal Trash , My kid loved them and it's the kind of trash you want to take in! James Edstrom **** Vocal Trash “It’s entertainment with a conscience,” says Steve Linder, creator of Vocal Trash; a diverse blend of environmental performers who have been engaging audiences across the U.S. for over a decade. The musical aspects of this exciting, high-energy troupe from Texas appeals to everyone – from the very young to the very old – in its perfect mix of pop, rock, swing and classic oldies. Described as “Glee, with a kick”, Vocal Trash plays to capacity crowds, from Las Vegas to Madison Square Garden, presenting their “wow factor” experience and making them a hit with all venues. Audiences can’t seem to get enough of this energetic group whose “feel good” music literally gets people up and dancing in the aisles. Vocal Trash combines uniquely recycled musical instruments, such as their “one of a kind” bass and guitars, with an industrial percus...

**** THIS AND THAT Story By: James Edstrom **** Sony PS Vita I pre-ordered the Sony PS Vita for my son in December. How disappointed we were and I swear I will never buy another Sony product. The PS Vita arrived just in time for his birthday and right away the disappointments began. There was no memory card. They did not tell you that you had to buy that separate. So as not wanting to ruin the kids birthday, we went everywhere looking for a memory card. It took all day to find a store that had one. Even the Sony store was out. When I complained, I was told I should have ordered the 3G model and that had the card. What a sham. I thought the bait and switch games were outlawed a long time ago. Reminds me of years ago, they used to sell you a new and expensive computer and when you got it home it did not have the most important wire. You had to buy that separate. It kills me that these companies do this and they get away with it. The old PSP had built in memory and now Sony has this new ...

**** TIMES SQUARE GOSSIP LIFESTYLE **** The Wright Choice Forty-hour work weeks, two-hour commutes, carpools, school conferences, commitments: who has time to eat healthy foods and exercise? And who can afford pricey organic, fresh foods anyway? You can, according to Randy Wright, MD and his co-author David Tabatsky. They spell it out in practical terms in The Wright Choice: Your Family’s Prescription for Healthy Eating, Modern Fitness and Saving Money (Intouch Media Health Network). “We all know we should make healthier choices,” Dr. Wright explains. “But we don’t necessarily make it a priority. Sometimes it feels like we can't make it our first choice. Staying fit and eating well seems to fall through the cracks.” Moms and dads with hectic schedules are the norm right now; this pragmatic guide to good health is written especially for them. “We want to help them achieve their goal of staying fit without sacrificing work and personal goals.” The secret is locked inside our brains,...

**** JOHN BUFFALO MAILER FIGHTS SEX TRAFFICKING **** Rev. Dr. Katharine Henderson John Buffalo Mailer Yesterday, a coalition of ministers, rabbis, and other religious leaders joined The Village Voice co-founder’s son, advocates, activists, and three New York City Council Members to present a petition from nearly a quarter of a million people demanding that Village Voice Media cease running advertisements in the Adult section of its Web site, Backpage.com that others have used to buy and sell minors for sex. Groundswell, the social action initiative of Auburn Seminary, sponsored the petition on Change.org and organized the rally outside of Village Voice Media's flagship publication The Village Voice in New York City. Village Voice Media operates 13 weeklies around the country. In October, Groundswell convened a coalition of clergy to launch a full-page advertisement in The New York Times demanding that Village Voice Media close the Adult section of Backpage.com. “How could we, or a...

**** TIMES SQUARE GOSSIP STYLE VALENO JEWELRY **** New Leaf Ring By Valeno Valeno is owned by Nora Molero and my wonderful sister in law, Lena Edstrom. These two ladies enjoy quality and the fine things in life. Quality and fine things can be surprisingly affordable. You just need to look in the right place. As many women do, Lena and Nora love accessories, and jewelry is one of their favorite ways to take an outfit from bland to glam. However, recent years it has become almost impossible to find good-quality, elegant and unique jewelry in stores and online. Nora and Lena felt as though a majority of the available jewelry is mass-produced, ordinary, and frankly cheap looking. What's more, you often don’t get good value for your money. For example, a small ordinary sterling silver pendant can cost more than $100 in a department store. That’s why Nora and Lena decided to start the Valeno online silver store . Here they can share their passion for quality and beauty with other women w...

**** The cover story of the new issue of Us Weekly is all about a humiliated Kim Kardashian’s divorce hell and how she is continually held back as she tries to move on. **** Kim Kardashian Kim Kardashian’s di­vorce from Kris Humphries has so far taken more than twice as long as their 72‑day marriage — all part of the New Jersey Nets player’s game plan to break the prenup and make Kim pay dearly, say sources. Yet no matter what he throws at her, Kim, 31, has remained silent. As she tells Us, “Out of respect for everyone involved, I’d rather not talk about it any­more. I’m so ready, emo­tionally, for this chapter to be over. I want to leave it in my past so I can start fresh.” But the damage has already been done. Bash­ing their wedding debacle has become sport for Kim’s Hollywood peers, like Mad Men’s Jon Hamm and The Hunger Games’ Jennifer Lawrence. And Kim’s friends blame Humphries for keeping the divorce — and his name — in the news. Says one pal, “He’s doing this to humili­ate her...
