Looks like things are looking up for Britney Spears.

The suspected murderer of Jennifer Hudson’s three family members has just been denied bail.
That’s great news!
Reports also reveal that Balfour had good motive for the murders because he was jealous that his ex-wife, Jennifer Hudson’s sister, Julia, was dating another man.
Classic motives!
A prosecutor told a Chicago court that he had been at the Hudson home the morning of the murders and saw a birthday present he believed had been given to Julia from a boyfriend; that same boyfriend that caused Balfour to threaten her a month ago.
Balfour’s attorney claimed that the charges against Balfour was full of bull saying that there was no fingerprint, blood or any other forensic evidence linking him to the slayings.
Looks like he ignored the fact that there was gunshot residue on the steering wheel of his broken-down car.
May true justice prevail!

Michael Phelps has $5 million endorsement deals with VISA Inc., Hilton Hotels Corp., AT&T Inc., Kellogg Co., Speedo International Ltd, and…PureSport.
PureSport? What the hell is PureSport? If you haven’t heard about it, don’t fret this is because the product didn’t even exist 3 years ago.
Before Michael hit the jackpot, he and 3 teammates agreed to endorse the sports drink based out of Austin, Texas. Fast forward to the Beijing Olympics, every time they climbed out of the pool, a coach handed him a bottle of PureSport. Just like that, everyone wanted some of his magic carbo-protein cocktail.
Now the company is milking his popularity and slapping Phelps’ face on everything. Now their products are on shelves of sports stores. However, since the company is still quite young, they still cannot afford TV and print ads. As a deal, the company books Phelps’ for 7 days and in return, Phelps gets a 5% cut.
Not bad Phelps. Not bad at all.
