Models, Inc.: The naming of cattiness
Friday, April 6th, 2007
What happens when models pick their own names and unleash them on Hollywood’s C list? An annoyed rapper, soaked contestants and Paris Hilton?!
Yes, we’re making faces, on purpose, after Wednesday’s episode of “America’s Next Top Model,” and our weave is about to fly the coop. Plus, Montgomery’s Dionne Walters puts her best feet forward.
All the photos, after the jump … (more…)

Thursday, April 5th, 2007Tuesday Night Lights: Dismember the titans
Wednesday, April 4th, 2007
Maybe the Hoover Bucs didn’t have the best season ever. Their hopes of a mythic national championship crashed hard earlier in the season. But the high school football powerhouse could still fulfill one record-breaking goal: a fifth straight state championship.
And so, Coach Propst and company are back on familiar turf, battling for the ring in one last game. It’s time for players, couples and teams to face their destiny in the hour-long season finale of “Two-a-Days.” (more…)

week wound up
Wednesday, April 4th, 2007Mission update: Last call for donations
Monday, April 2nd, 2007
We leave for our Magic City Mission on Easter morning, but we could still use a few more items.
Our Hands on Birmingham team of six volunteers will be working next week with Hands on New Orleans to help rebuild the city. Thanks to your generosity, we’ll be taking enough donations to fill two pickups, including refurbished laptop computers from TechBirmingham, a new chainsaw, cleaning supplies and goodies for the long-term volunteers and staff there.
If you’d like to help, you still have time to give — check out the wish list, which shows what’s still needed and drop-off points near you.
Please consider a gift card (easy to transport, fits all budgets, doesn’t expire):
You can order them online or at store locations. (If you have them shipped, please send them directly to Hands on New Orleans, 2309 Dryades St., New Orleans, LA 70113.)
The drop-off deadline is Wednesday, April 4, so hurry!
We’ll send you postcards from New Orleans throughout the week as we help our neighbors in Louisiana and remind them that Birmingham still cares. Thank you for your support.
