Life on Florida’s West Coast

One of a kind would rock

Over at WordPressReworked, Eve is running a contest where the prize is a free basic customization of your Wordpress theme. I lamented in the early posts of this blog how I was both having trouble finding a theme I liked and one I could customize. I finally just went with this basic theme and forgot about trying to customize. I can design my own website, but someohow the coding for Wordpress just eludes me altogether.

Having my theme unique to me and my focus as a blogger would be wonderful, though. Check out her site if you use Wordpress and want to either enter the contest or hire her outright to help you get your themes and plugins straightened out.

Misinformation and the Press (or are Liev and Naomi married?)

Last night at the TONY awards, actor Liev Schreiber told Entertainment Tonight that he and Naomi Watts were married. ET ran with the story and quite literally hundreds of other press outlets carried it today.

Not that I don’t trust the press, but I did not see the ET clip and friends had told me that when Liev said it he had a twinkle in his eye, a wry look. They also said that after he said it, Naomi appeared to throw her head back and laugh.

So, I asked Liev. I couldn’t help myself. I like to hear news like that from the horse’s mouth, so to speak. His reply? He says they are NOT married.

It makes me wonder about misinformation and the press. If he really did just make the comment in an offhand, playful way and the media went with it, how easy would it be to insert false info into the press circuit on other levels? Not all that hard, apparently.

On the other hand, maybe hes just pulling MY leg? Either way I get a good chuckle out of the frenzy something like this creates in the media.

And, no matter their marital status, I’m still thrilled about the upcoming birth of their baby. They’re going to be amazingly cool parents.
