Britney Spears wedding to Jason Trawick called off, reports say

Posted: 16 Nov 2012 11:04 AM PST

Britney Spears‘ wedding to Jason Trawick was reportedly cancelled, with reports saying that their romantic relationship has allegedly turned sour, after almost a year that the couple was reported as engaged. Britney announced via Twitter last December that Jason gave her a gift she has been waiting for a long time.

According to Radar Online on Friday, November 16, 2012, a source who is allegedly close to the situation told them that Britney and Jason has planned to get married this coming December but was recently called off due to their continuous fighting. Spears, 30, and Trawick, 40, started dating around 3 years ago.

“They are telling their friends it’s being postponed, but they will probably never make it down the aisle. Britney doesn’t think Jason is any fun and resents him because he acts more like a second father than a romantic partner, or equal.” The source was quoted in the report.

Britney and Jason have been sleeping in separate bedrooms for a very long time. She has been staying in a hotel during the week because of the live X Factor shows, and although Jason stays at the same hotel, he is in a room adjacent to hers.” The source added, noting that “Jason feels like he is Britney‘s babysitter.”

Britney‘s parents are absolutely devastated that the wedding has been called off. Lynne is very close to Jason and views him as one of her children…It doesn’t help matters that both Jamie and Jason are co-conservators of Britney. The whole situation is just sad for everyone.” The source explained further.

However, Daily Mail reported later this Friday that the Britney Spears-Jason Trawick wedding will still pursue and noted that Jeff Raymond, Britney’s publicist, denied the earlier reports, but did not give further details about the wedding and when it will be held.

Posted: 16 Nov 2012 09:38 AM PST

A group of so-called skydiving cats was used by a Swedish pet insurance company in their ad, as shown in the video below.

“We are owned by our customers, and this commercial is dedicated to one of our owners, Eva. Her heart beats for the cat. More about our cat insurance policy can be found here.” Folksam wrote on the YouTube video description, as translated to English via Google Translate; along with a link to their official website.

“Note that we love cats and that this movie is obviously a trick shot. We have of course followed the Animal Welfare Act and have not thrown out a few cuties from an airplane.” Folksam added, with the skydiving cats ad uploaded last November 8, and has nearly 322,000 views as of this writing.

“Your cat may have nine lives, but when an accident occurs, it is mainly a veterinarian is required. Our cat insurance is one of the best on the market. Both in terms of pay and deductible.” A statement reads at Folksam.se, as the ad plays a part of R. Kelly‘s hit song “I Believe I Can Fly” for its background music.

On the first part of the video, a photo of woman named Eva Leijonmark was shown carrying her cat. As the cats were seen skydiving in mid-air, they later joined their paws together and formed “Eva.” The cats eventually released their parachutes, but was not shown landing in the ground.

Kate Middleton returned the clothes that Kim Kardashian sent her, according to a report by celebrity news site National Enquirer on Thursday, November 15, 2012. Middleton‘s reported snub disappointed Kardashian, who earlier said that she wanted to chat and have a tea with the Duchess of Cambridge.

The princess of American reality tv is reportedly in London for the launching of a new fashion line by Dorothy Perkins.

The National Enquirer report said that the Middleton and Kardashian incident was revealed by a certain “royal insider.”

According to the anonymous source of the National Enquirer, Middleton “gets free clothes sent to her every day of the week, and she always sends them back. The royal family is very careful about not being seen to endorse any product. It's just not proper. Quite apart from that, the Kardashian outfits just aren't appropriate for a duchess.”

The source revealed that the Duchess “can't stand their style, and from what she knows about their TV show, it's just a bunch of trashy people primping and yelling at each other. She's far too polite to diss Kim to her face, but she's got enough on her plate without having tea with someone like her.”

The “royal insider” added that “Kate is hardly going to turn up for an event with the queen in a cheap leopard-print miniskirt or gold sequined jacket!”

Newsday reported on Tuesday, November 13, 2012 that the ship was found about six kilometers east of Davis Park, between Skunk Hollow and Whalehouse Point.

U.S. Geological Survey coastal geologist Cheryl Hapke explained that the buried ship was exposed after about 72 feet of sand was eroded when the entire island was submerged by the heavy rain brought about by Hurricane Sandy.

Reports say that almost 80 percent of the houses in the area was flooded by Sandy. Sea water reportedly divided the island into four areas.
