La fortuna no le ha sonreído para nada en los últimos meses a Britney Spears, y se desquita con los paparazzi, quienes la siguen como si fueran su sombra a todos lados. Cuando todavía era muy popular, viajó a México para ofrecer algunos conciertos y en vez de hablar con los medios, les hizo una seña obscena, que después fue conocida como la 'Britney-señal'. Y ¿cómo olvidar la vez que furiosa golpeó el auto de un fotógrafo con una sombrilla?

Asteroid To Make Rare Close Flyby Of Earth January 29

ScienceDaily (Jan. 24, 2008) — Scientists are monitoring the orbit of asteroid 2007 TU24. The asteroid, believed to be between 150 meters (500 feet) and 610 meters (2,000 feet) in size, is expected to fly past Earth on Jan. 29, with its closest distance being about 537,500 kilometers (334,000 miles) at 12:33 a.m. Pacific time (3:33 a.m. Eastern time). It should be observable that night by amateur astronomers with modest-sized telescopes.

Asteroid 2007 TU24 was discovered by the NASA-sponsored Catalina Sky Survey on Oct. 11, 2007. Scientists at NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., have determined that there is no possibility of an impact with Earth in the foreseeable future.

"This will be the closest approach by a known asteroid of this size or larger until 2027," said Don Yeomans, manager of the Near Earth Object Program Office at JPL. "As its closest approach is about one-and-a-half times the distance of Earth to the moon, there is no reason for concern. On the contrary, Mother Nature is providing us an excellent opportunity to perform scientific observations."

Asteroid 2007 TU24 will reach an approximate apparent magnitude 10.3 on Jan. 29-30 before quickly becoming fainter as it moves farther from Earth. On that night, the asteroid will be observable in dark and clear skies through amateur telescopes with apertures of at least 7.6 centimeters (3 inches). An object with a magnitude of 10.3 is about 50 times fainter than an object just visible to the naked eye in a clear, dark sky.

NASA detects and tracks asteroids and comets passing close to Earth. The Near Earth Object Observation Program, commonly called "Spaceguard," discovers, characterizes and computes trajectories for these objects to determine if any could be potentially hazardous to our planet.

A mountain-sized asteroid will make its closest approach to Earth at 6:35 a.m. Pacific Time (9:35 a.m. Eastern Time) September 29, 2004.

Although asteroid 4179 Toutatis will come no closer than four times the distance between Earth and the Moon (approximately 1.5 million kilometers or 961,000 miles), this will be the closest approach of any known asteroid of comparable size this century.

"This is the closest Toutatis will come for another 500 years, and its orbit is very well known," said Dr. Don Yeomans of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., manager of NASA's Near Earth Objects Program Office. "What this fly-by provides is an opportunity to study one of our closest solar system neighbors."

Penelope Cruz Besa a Su Hermana

When you're trying to launch your pop career it helps if you have famous sisters to appear in your videos... especially if it's something of an erotic display.

Hollywood film star Penelope Cruz and her sister Monica agreed to a highly risque performance to accompany their 22-year-old brother Eduardo Cruz's new single.

The video for Cosas Que Contar starts with a scene where the Cruz sisters dub a lesbian porn film. They then suck suggestively on lollypops and writhe around in bikini's and ripped stockings.

The actresses whisper in Eduardo's ears and Penelope is even seen in a lesbian clinch with Argentinian actress Mia Maestro.

Spain is proud of their famous 'favourite daughters' who have designed a fashion line for high street store Mango. But there is always frantic speculation about their love lives in the Spanish press, which the footage has fuelled.

Penelope and Monica Cruz make suggestive poses in Eduardo's music video

The music video has proved an unsurprising hit on media sharing websites, but many may question whether Eduardo relies too heavily on his sister's fame.

One Spanish commentator unkindly noted that Eduardo's singing talent varies "in inverse proportion to the keenness of young heterosexuals to see the Cruz sisters".
