Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise Called it Quits


Actress Katie Holmes is ending her five-year marriage to hubby Tom Cruise in a surprise split reportedly centered on Scientology. The 33-year-old actress wants sole custody of their daughter, Suri.

Holmes announced the breakup through her New Jersey-based lawyer Friday saying her primary concern is the couple’s 6-year-old daughter.

Sources say that the divorce is not about money -- Katie doesn't need Tom's money because she has plenty of it. And it will be well taken cared of under the terms of the prenup. 

On the other hand, Cruise’s camp said the 49-year-old “Top Gun” star is devastated.

“Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children. Please allow them their privacy,” Cruise’s rep said in a statement to the Daily News. One source told The News that serious disagreements over their star spawn fueled the breakup.

The A-list marriage was the first for Holmes and the third for Cruise, who previously was hitched to actresses Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman, with whom he has two adopted children.

“This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family,” Holmes’ lawyer Jonathan Wolfe said in a statement. “Katie’s primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter’s best interest.”

Microsoft to Acquire Yammer


Microsoft Corp. and Yammer Inc. today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Microsoft will acquire Yammer, a leading provider of enterprise social networks, for $1.2 billion in cash. Yammer will join the Microsoft Office Division, led by division President Kurt DelBene, and the team will continue to report to current CEO David Sacks.

The infographic provides background and data about Yammer and SharePoint today, and the opportunities that collaboration and enterprise social networking have to help people work more effectively in today's workplace.

“The acquisition of Yammer underscores our commitment to deliver technology that businesses need and people love,” said Steve Ballmer, CEO, Microsoft. “Yammer adds a best-in-class enterprise social networking service to Microsoft’s growing portfolio of complementary cloud services.”

Launched in 2008, Yammer now has more than 5 million corporate users, including employees at 85 percent of the Fortune 500. The service allows employees to join a secure, private social network for free and then makes it easy for companies to convert a grassroots movement into companywide strategic initiative.

Yammer will continue to develop its standalone service and maintain its commitment to simplicity, innovation and cross-platform experiences. Moving forward, Microsoft plans to accelerate Yammer’s adoption alongside complementary offerings from Microsoft SharePoint, Office 365, Microsoft Dynamics and Skype.

“When we started Yammer four years ago, we set out to do something big,” Sacks said. “We had a vision for how social networking could change the way we work. Joining Microsoft will accelerate that vision and give us access to the technologies, expertise and resources we’ll need to scale and innovate.”

The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval.

Facebook Automatically Changed Everyone's Email Address

 
Facebook just removed everyone's email address from their profile and replaced it with an @facebook.com email address without asking you. Here's how to easily fix the problem.

Facebook launched its own email service back in 2010, which was promptly forgotten by everyone. This morning, Forbes noticed that they removed everyone's email addresses from their profiles, replacing them with an @facebook.com email address instead (not Facebook's internal email address which they use for notifications and password resets, just the one listed on your profile). Luckily, it's easy to get your old email address back on your profile:

  • Click "About" on your profile and scroll down to your email address. Click "Edit" to change them.
  • Click on the circle next to your Facebook email address and change its setting to "Hidden From Timeline".
  • Click on the circle next to your other email addresses and change their settings to "Shown On Timeline".
  • Click the Save button at the bottom of the Edit popup (Don't forget this step).
That's all it takes. It's a really quick fix, but it was a big jerk move for Facebook to do this without asking permission, or even telling you that it happened. Spread this info around so people don't get stuck without any contact information, too, lest we lose the one aspect of Facebook that was still useful.

NBA: Heat burn the nets; trio of James, Wade and Bosh lift title

The Miami Heat were as hot as their namesake, and the decision of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to play together was finally validated after coming close in their first year together, as the trio lifted the Larry O'Brien Championship trophy, knocking out the Oklahoma City Thunder, 4-1, with a 121-106 win, Thursday (Friday, PHL time), in front of their hometown fans.

After a Derek Fisher triple cut the Heat's advantage to two points, 34-32 with 10:48 left in the second quarter, the Heat unleashed a 9-2 run that gave them a double-digit advantage, 43-34, a little under seven minutes left. A 7-0 run by the Heat then gave them their biggest edge, 53-36, with 4:41 remaining.

OKC though made a belated comeback as Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant took over late, getting them to within 10 points with 48 seconds left, enough for a 59-49 halftime score.

The Thunder then brought it back down to five at the onset of the third, thanks to four straight points from Serge Ibaka, 61-56. But the Heat took the wind out of their sails with a 19-1 run that looked like the finishing blow, as Oklahoma City went five minutes without a field goal.

From then on, it was just a matter of playing keep-away, as the Heat answered every mini-run by the Thunder. Head coach Scottie Brooks then raised the white flag with 4:43 to go, sitting Durant and Westbrook and inserting his bench players. Fil-Am coach Erik Spoelstra then did the same thing, pulling the "Big Three" off  with 3:01 remaining as the celebration began early in South Beach.

LeBron James notched his second-triple double of this year's Finals, posting 26 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists. Dwyane Wade added 20 points and eight boards, while Chris Bosh tallied 24 markers.

The story of the game though was the Heat's hot outside shooting, as they matched the NBA Finals record for triples in a game, making 14-of-25 from beyond the arc. Reserve Mike Miller went 7-of-8 from trey, one shy of the single-player Finals record.

LeBron James was a unanimous choices for Finals MVP, just a few months after being awarded the regular season MVP.

Jessica Sanchez to Sing Star-Spangled Banner in Pacquiao-Bradley Fight

 
American Idol runner-up Jessica Sanchez will be part of the pre-fight ceremonies of Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao's welterweight title defense Sunday against American challenger Timothy Bradley.

The 16-year-old part-Filipina Sanchez, who lost to Phillip Phillips in the finals of American Idol last month, will be singing "The Star Spangled Banner" prior to the fight.

Team Pacquiao had earlier flirted with the idea of Sanchez singing the Philippine national anthem. Instead, another Filipino-American teenage singer, Kirby Asunto, will handle "Lupang Hinirang" for the fight, which is expected to be viewed by some 16,000 people live at the MGM Grand Arena and tens of millions of people on television.

Emmys to combine acting awards for movies, minis

LOS ANGELES — The Emmy Awards competition will be getting fiercer among TV movie and miniseries performers.

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences said Thursday that it will merge the leading and supporting acting categories for longform programming.

Starting with the 2013 awards, new categories for outstanding actor in a miniseries or TV movie and outstanding actress in a miniseries or movie will each include six nominees, equal to other performing categories.

Previously, the four movie and miniseries acting categories included five nominees each.
The TV academy already chipped away at the long-form categories last year, combining the outstanding TV movie and miniseries nominees into one field.

At the 2011 Emmys, Kate Winslet of HBO's "Mildred Pierce" and Barry Pepper of ReelzChannel's "The Kennedys" took lead miniseries or movie acting honors, while supporting awards went to Maggie Smith for PBS' "Downton Abbey" and Guy Pearce for "Mildred Pierce."

The academy's decision didn't sit well with at least one channel. Lifetime called it "disappointing," especially in the wake of the consolidation of the movies and miniseries categories, and said award-worthy projects and performances will be slighted.

"Movies and miniseries represent some of television's finest programming and it is our firm belief the industry should honor each category separately," Lifetime Networks programming executive Rob Sharenow said in a statement.

The change announced Thursday coincided with an indication of how robust the competition will be for this year's miniseries and movie Emmys, which will be the last to recognize lead and supporting actors separately.

History channel's "Hatfields & McCoys," which broke basic cable ratings records this week, included critically acclaimed performances by leads Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton, as well as by cast members such as Tom Berenger, who likely would compete for supporting actor honors.
