PR consultant: More Prince Harry photos may emerge
LONDON - Brace yourself, Harry.
Britain's most prominent public relations guru said Friday he'd been approached by two women who want to sell their photos of Prince Harry, suggesting that the world may soon be seeing more of the unusually exposed British royal.
In comments to BBC television, Max Clifford said he had been approached by two American women who claim they were in the prince's hotel room in the U.S. last week. Clifford, a savvy operator famous for negotiating kiss-and-tell interviews, said the women were trying to sell their photographs — but that he had turned them down.
8 Ingredients You Never Want to See on Your Nutrition Label
The year was 1950, and The Magic 8-Ball had just arrived in stores. It looked like a toy, but it wasn't. It was a future-telling device, powered by the unknown superpowers that lived inside its cheap plastic shell. Despite a bit of an attitude—"Don't count on it," "My reply is no"—it was a huge success. Americans, apparently, want to see their futures.
A few decades later, Congress passed the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act that, among other things, turned the 45,000 food products in the average supermarket into fortune-telling devices. Americans inexplicably yawned. I'm trying to change that. Why? The nutrition label can predict the future size of your pants and health care bills.

Celebrities who live in modest homes
Living in the limelight doesn't always mean residing in extravagant luxury. More celebrities go home to bungalows, split-levels, and ranches than you might think. In some cases, it's because a modest home is all that's affordable in the pricey Los Angeles real estate market. In other cases, low-profile digs are an attempt at privacy and a simpler life. For others, the jet-set life is split between multiple cities -- so why put down permanent roots?

They are technically known as iridescent clouds, a relatively rare phenomenon caused by clouds of water droplets of nearly uniform size, according to a release by NASA. These clouds diffract, or bend, light in a similar manner, which separates out light into different wavelengths, or colors.
