Jennifer Connelly's third child and second with husband Paul Bettany

Jennifer Connelly

Vince Vaughn and Kevin James may be the faces of "The Dilemma," but costar Jennifer Connelly stole some of the spotlight at the film's premiere Thursday with her public display of, well, pregnancy.

This will be Connelly's third child, and her second with husband Paul Bettany.

Winona Ryder, fresh off her "Black Swan" success, also made the red carpet in Chicago, as did fellow cast member Channing Tatum, with wife Jenna Dewan on his arm, director Ron Howard and Chicago-based film critic Roger Ebert, who had news of his own this week about his upcoming TV show.

"The Dilemma," a comedy about a man who sees his best friend's wife with another man, opens next Friday.

Do you have unclaimed bonds?

Unclaimed Bonds

Do you have unclaimed bonds? Wouldn’t it be nice to come across some money, like finding money in the couch?

According to the Department of Treasury, 25,000 bond payments are undelivered and unclaimed each year.

At the government’s Treasury Hunt website, Americans can look up bonds and bond payments that are seemingly MIA and uncollected.

These bonds could include those owned by deceased family members, or simply matured bonds that are not earning interest any more.

Other types of unclaimed money at Treasury Hunt include HH/H bond interest or Legacy Treasury Direct payments.

Keep in mind, however, that Treasury Hunt doesn’t have a record of all savings bonds issued—just Series E bonds that were doled out after 1974.

To search to see if you have unclaimed bonds, simply enter your Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number into the secure federal website.

Redeeming unclaimed bonds may require you to give more information on the dates, names, and other data on the bonds. You may not be able to pull up all the unclaimed bond information if you are searching for someone else or are a co-owner of a bond.

Helen Hunt Exclusive!

Helen Hunt

Sure, we’ve always been mad about Helen Hunt, but since Mad About You hung up its humor, Hunt took her four Emmy Awards and has meticulously laid out a film career that has shared one aspect: Quality over quantity.

Helen Hunt scored an Oscar and a Golden Globe for her role opposite Jack Nicholson in As Good as It Gets in 1997.

In 2000, she appeared in three fantastic films: Robert Altman’s Dr. T and the Women starring Richard Gere, Pay It Forward with Kevin Spacey and What Women Want with Mel Gibson.

The year 2004 saw her in A Good Woman and then Hunt made her directorial debut in 2008 with Then She Found Me, based on the book by Elinor Lipman.

In Every Day, Hunt portrays Jeannie, the wife of Liev Schreiber’s Ned, who together portray a married couple dealing with the challenges of life.

Whether it’s Jeannie’s crass elderly father moving in or the fact that their teenage son just came out as gay -- Ned and Jeannie’s marriage is under stress to say the least.

But, in the hands of an actress of Hunt’s mettle, Jeannie emits a quiet power that gives Every Day its heart.

Snow on the ground in 49 out of 50 U.S. states

  Get out the toboggans and winter gloves: There's snow on the ground in 49 out of 50 U.S. states – including Hawaii.
The only state that isn't at least partially a winter wonderland today is Florida, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). The agency estimates that 70.9 percent of the country is currently covered by snow.

"It's not typical," NWS public affairs officer James Peronto told LiveScience. The National Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center, which tracks snowfall, doesn't keep statistics on the average snow cover, Peronto said. However, in December, an average of 35 percent of the United States had snow on the ground.

Unusual Southern Storm

Snow in the Rocky Mountain states and Northeast is the norm in winter, of course. Even Hawaii often sees snowfall at high elevations. Right now, the top of the dormant volcano Mauna Kea on the island of Hawai'i is covered with 7 inches (18 centimeters) of snow.

What's unusual about today is the winter storm that passed through the Southeast, Peronto said.

"The Southern states don't typically get significant snow amounts through the year," Peronto said. "It takes a special kind of weather scenario to allow that to happen."

In this case, moisture from the Gulf of Mexico met up with cold air parked over the South. The result: Ice, sleet and plenty of the white stuff.

Snow in the eastern third of the United States is particularly unusual this year because La Nina (unusually cold ocean temperatures in the Pacific near the equator) normally keeps the jet stream in the northern regions of the United States, said David Robinson, the state climatologist of New Jersey and a professor at Rutgers University.

But recently, the La Nina effect has been overshadowed by a negative North Atlantic Oscillation, an atmospheric pattern that brings cold and snow to the East and Southeast.

"If the North Atlantic Oscillation was what we call neutral or positive, we might have our lounge chairs out today," Robinson told LiveScience.

Snow path

Snow in so many states is "not an every-winter event," Robinson said, though the last time it snowed in all 50 states was last February. Before that, he said, you have to go back to the 1970s to find winters where snow fell across so much of the North American continent.

"The size of the United States is such that when the jet stream dips down in the east and brings a lot of cold air and snow to make it down into Georgia and South Carolina, it bulges up in the west," Robinson said. That usually keeps snowy conditions out of places like Texas while it's also snowing in the Deep South.

On his website, Robinson tracks daily divergence from average snowfall. The map for Jan. 11 shows a large swath of above-average areas.

Robinson's research hasn't turned up any long-term changes in winter-snow cover in the United States over the last 40 years. But spring-snow cover is decreasing, he said.

"Last winter, we had a record extent of snow cover over North America, and last spring was a record low extent [of snow cover]," Robinson said. "So we went from one extreme to another."

The movie offers continue to come in for Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus

First, her mother reportedly optioned the rights for a music video to be made into a feature-length film.

Now, the screenwriter behind Disturbia and Paranormal Activity 2 has said in a new interview that he hopes to work with Cyrus on "Wake," a big screen version of Lisa McMann's book series.

"It's sort of a vehicle for Miley Cyrus," Landon says. "She is looking to sort of get out of her cutesy Hannah Montana image... She wanted to do something a little edgier and a little darker, so we're making this movie hopefully... It's about a teenage girl who has a rare form of narcalepsy. When she's within a certain distance of someone sleeping, she passes out and goes into their dreams."

Landon says there's "definitely a spooky element to it."

Cyrus has made it clear she hopes to be taken seriously as a movie actress. She just finished filming LOL with Demi Moore and Ashley Greene.

John Travolta, Kelly Preston Show Off Son

John Travolta

The celebrity baby birth everyone was hoping would go off without a hitch thankfully did last fall, and now John Travolta and Kelly Preston are showing off the cute fruit of her (most likely silent) labor.

Just shy of his two-month birthday, little Ben—born Nov. 23—is making his cover debut on not one but two magazines this week (People and Hello!), alongside his beaming parents.

"He's brought us a new beginning," John and Kelly told People, referring to the little tyke as their "miracle."

"He's given the house a renewed sense and purpose," 56-year-old papa John added.

He further exclaimed their happiness to Hello!, saying, "For us it's been uplifting. Especially when he smiles at me and seems contented in my arms."

As for the birth, it did indeed go smoothly, with Travolta holding the 48-year-old Preston's hand throughout the whole of her labor.

Kelly Presto

The couple's daughter, 10-year-old Ella Bleu, was also present, albeit outside the delivery room. She was being watched over by the family's close pal Kirstie Alley, who was also present for the occasion.

The duo also shared adorable details of their new lives in Ocala, saying their days and nights are now filled with multiple readings of Good Night, Gorilla and dad crooning one of his favorite lullabies, "A Bushel and a Peck."

However, both parents told People that the best moment from little Ben's life so far has been sharing his first smile. Awww. Um, is that some dust in your eye? Yeah, ours, too.

Today Is 1/11/11

Not that today is any more generally significant than yesterday, two weeks ago or six months ago, but for those who get into binary dates, this marks one of a few rare days on their cool calendar.

Today, Jan. 11, 2011 marks the second day this year in which the date is denoted numerically by the number 1, and the third in which is denoted binarically by 0 and 1, based on both mm/dd/yy, and dd/mm/yy configurations. Dates like this actually happen quite rarely and there are only a total of 12 days this year between January 1, and November 11 that this will occur.

But as they also note, this number, in the grand scheme of things is nowhere near as important as the number 42, which answers the great question of Life, The Universe and Everything.

Laptop Reviews Popular as Buyers Seek New Gadgets

Laptop Reviews

 Laptop Reviews, in terms of popularity are way up. New laptops are all the rage as the holiday season tapers off - and there's no doubt - Americans love their gadgets with televisions in nearly every room and cellphones, computers, e-readers and music players covering surfaces and stuffing pockets and purses.

Laptop Reviews

In fact we love them so much, few of us part with them even when they're out-of-date or just don't work, a survey by Retrevo, an online service that analyzes the latest thingamabob for those of us who are tech-challenged, indicated.

Retrevo's gadget census found only about a third of Americans say they recycle their gadgets with another third saying they haven't gotten around to it or don't care about recycling. Only 11 percent said recycling is not available in their areas.

"People are buying more new gadgets today than we ever have -- and that means collecting more old gadgets we never use," said Manish Rathi, vice president of marketing and co-founder of Retrevo. "It's time to stop making excuses … There are many avenues available to recycle electronics now and we encourage people to take responsibility and recycle their unused gadgets."

Gabrielle Giffords, connections to the world of aerospace that are both personal and political

Gabrielle Giffords

Gabrielle Giffords, who was severely wounded in the Tucson Safeway Massacre, has connections to the world of aerospace that are both personal and political.

According to MSNBC's Alan Boyle, her shooting will have repercussions for the US space program as the debate on its future grinds on.

Gabrielle Giffords was the chair of the House subcommittee that oversees NASA in the last Congress and would have presumably become its ranking member in the new. Giffords was an outspoken supporter of NASA and her programs. She opposed President Obama's cancellation of the Constellation program and the new Obama space policy. She was skeptical about the plans to rely on government subsidized commercial space craft to send people and cargo to the ISS. For that Giffords underwent a considerable amount of criticism in the media and among space commercialization proponents.

Giffords is also the wife and sister-in-law of NASA astronauts. Her husband, Mark Kelly, who is currently at her bedside, is slated to command the very last shuttle mission scheduled, STS-135. Her brother-in-law, Scott Kelly, is currently on board the International Space Station.

The political and personal future of Giffords largely depends on the extent of her brain injuries. She is likely in store of a period of rehabilitation, though prospects of full recovery as of this writing appear to be excellent.

In any event, Giffords will likely be absent from the Congress during the first critical debates about NASA future. Funding levels will have to be decided for the space agency for the balance of FY 2011. These decisions will take place against a backdrop of calls for budget austerity. Giffords, had she not been shot, would more than likely had spoken out for more not less NASA funding as well as a revisit of the Obama space policy that abandoned the Moon as an initial destination for human explorers. She will therefore be missed by many space advocates.

Gabrielle Giffords

On a more personal level, Gifford's shooting places the last flight of her husband, Mark, in doubt. It is NASA policy to ground astronauts who are facing a family crisis. Even though STS-135 is scheduled to fly in late summer, the training regime would take Kelly away from his wife for many weeks during a critical time of her recovery. It is a maddening conundrum that would not be wished upon anyone.

Giffords is just 40, relatively young for someone in the Congress. Even if she cannot serve out her current term due to the time needed for rehab, she should have a bright future in public service. A tragedy such as this can be the origin of greatness, caused by adversity overcome. Such we pray it will be so.

CLAIRE FOY was shocked at landing a role alongside NICHOLAS CAGE in 'Season of the Witch'

CLAIRE FOY

The former singer — who starred alongside Cowell as a judge on American Idol — says that although the music mogul rubs many people up the wrong way, he’s actually rather likable.

She said that Cowell is an acquired taste.
CLAIRE FOY was shocked at landing a role alongside NICHOLAS CAGE in 'Season of the Witch'

The 26-year-old British actress who is best known for starring in a number of television serial dramas including 'Little Dorrit', CLAIRE FOY,  says she was shocked at landing a role alongside NICHOLAS CAGE in the recently released medieval thriller 'Season of the Witch', reports the UK's Daily Mail. The movie, which hands Foy her first major film role, follows a group of knights who return to their homeland after it is ruined by the Black Plague.

Foy garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews for her role as 'Amy' in 'Little Dorrit, but admits that she still believed a role alongside Cage was out of the question, saying, "When we had the first official screening of Little Dorrit I had just done my first audition for Season of the Witch and I said to Matthew MACfadyen, 'I am up for this Hollywood film starring Nicolas Cage and that's just never going to happen'". However, CLAIRE FOY said she received the good news several days later and was filming on location in Hungary within a matter of weeks. The actress was born in Stockport, Greater Manchester, and took a drama and film studies course at Liverpool University before being accepted to the Oxford School of Drama.

Claire Foy and Nicholas Cage

'Season of the Witch' opened in the US on 7th January 2011, however, it has so far received generally negative reviews, with ContactMusic.com noting, "the plot is so preposterous that it boggles the mind. Nothing that happens makes any sense, even if you suspend the need for internal logic".

PAULA Abdul still loves Simon Cowell!

The former singer — who starred alongside Cowell as a judge on American Idol — says that although the music mogul rubs many people up the wrong way, he’s actually rather likable.

She said that Cowell is an acquired taste.

Recent reports claimed Abdul is “out of control” on the set of her new TV show Live To Dance.

“Abdul has been out of control on the set,” an insider told American tabloid the National Enquirer. “Her favorite phrase is ‘I’m not happy’ — and she’s not happy a lot.

“She started with the food in her dressing room. When she didn’t see her favorite Jolly Rancher candies — she hit the roof.

“And when she had to go searching for Vitaminwater, she complained bitterly, saying she wasn’t getting the respect she deserved.

“At a recent promo shoot, Paula kept everyone waiting while she changed her clothes several times because she thought they didn’t fit right.

“Finally, after six or seven changes, she gave her approval to be photographed, but she still wasn’t thrilled. “She’s been driving everyone else on the show crazy!

“Now Paula is demanding that CBS cough up huge amounts of money to promote Live To Dance. “She wants Idol to regret letting her go.”
