Tipper Gore

June 1st, 2010

Al and Tipper Gore announced today that they were separating after 40 years of marriage.

The announcement came in the form of an e-mail message. Friends described the decision as mutual.

“We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought we have decided to separate,” the couple said. “This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together, following a process of long and careful consideration. We ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further.”

The existence of the e-mail message was first reported by Politico. A spokeswoman for Mr. Gore, Kalee Kreider, confirmed its authenticity.

Mr. and Mrs. Gore were a fixture on the campaign trail in 1992 when the two campaigned with Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton on bus trips that took them across the country, as well as during Mr. Gore’s own campaign for president in 2000.

Mrs. Gore, a photographer, was frequently spotted on stage taking photographs of the campaign events and the crowds that turned out to see them.

Ted Koppel

June 1st, 2010

NEW YORK — The 40-year-old son of former ABC News anchor Ted Koppel was found dead in an apartment in upper Manhattan, and the cause of death is being investigated, authorities said Tuesday.

Andrew Koppel was declared dead around 1:30 a.m. Monday in the apartment in the Washington Heights neighborhood, Detective John Sweeney said.

Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the city medical examiner, said an autopsy was performed Monday but results were pending further study, including toxicology and tissue testing.

Additional tests were needed to determine the manner and cause of death, Borakove said. They will take a few weeks to complete, she said.

Koppel had been drinking for hours with a man he met at a bar, the New York Post reported Tuesday.

“He had a straw hat on, and I had one on, and he said, ‘Nice hat, man,’” his drinking partner, Russell Wimberly, told the newspaper. “We got to talking, and he started buying me drinks.”

Wimberly said that Koppel drank whiskey, and that neither man had anything to eat all day.

Koppel was appointed attorney for the city Housing Authority’s civil litigation division in 2001, a post he resigned in 2008, the agency said Tuesday.

Ted Koppel was the longtime anchor of the ABC News show “Nightline.” Andrew Koppel, of Queens, was one of his four children. A call to the elder Koppel’s publicist was not immediately returned Tuesday.

Buying a JIMMYCHOO replica bag on the internet

May 14th, 2010

I recently purchased a JIMMYCHOO replica bag from the internet, to be honest I have wanted something from this brand ever since I started watching Sex in the City a good few years ago. But it was only recently that I realised I could afford to own something that is so beautiful and useful, I really wanted a bag that I could use for work and take to the shops whilst looking good and impressing strangers and shop assistants. So I was looking for a larger style with space for some paperwork that I sometimes need to take home and often read whilst travelling on the bus.
My bag is gorgeous – smooth brown leather with a logo and a small belt wrapped round the strap, the strap is unusual in itself as it goes from one side of the opening to the other with a ring fixing on each side that I have never seen before. But I am sharing this with you because the website had a great on line assistant who talked me through all of the designs that I might like and then chatted about the advantages of a classic colour for a multipurpose bag. I decided on a JIMMYCHOO replica bag that was exactly what I wanted. She really listened to what I was saying and quickly grasped that I needed something not too ostentatious but impressive in my working environment.
I have a regular office job and some of the women who have a higher position than me can afford designer clothes and accessories but none of them have realised that my new acquisition is a JIMMYCHOO replica bag. It really does look exactly like the real thing, the leather is finely grained and the zips and bits are solid and heavy. If you don’t have thousands of pounds or dollars to spend then I definitely recommend a JIMMYCHOO replica bag to impress your colleagues and bosses.
