Stipe explained that each object represented a crucial, transitional moment: "The radio alarm clock changed forever the fragile state between sleeping and waking, allowing you to wake to your favourite radio station." The Polaroid brought about a revolution in photography, while tapes "altered forever the influence of radio as the individual became their own disc jockey."

Tyson Targeted For Murder In Vengeful Gang Retaliation
A contract was taken out on former boxer Mike Tyson's life after he ordered the killing of the men responsible for murdering his bodyguard, according to witness testimony on Monday in a gang trial. The plot to kill Tyson was planned to be carried out in the summer of 2000, two months after the June death of minder Darryl Baum - the man accused of shooting rapper 50 Cent nine times in May of the same year . Gang member Shelby Henderson testified in Brookyn, New York Federal Court in the trial against member Abubakr Raheem. Henderson claimed that when he learned of the $50,000 (?25,000) bounty Tyson had offered to have their members killed, gang leader Damion 'World' Hardy planned a retaliation. The plot was later abandoned. Raheem is currently on trial accused of driving the getaway car during two killings. Tyson confessed earlier this month he's convinced he will be murdered because he has so many enemies in his life. The 41-year-old told the New York Post, "I already expect the worst to happen... I expect one day somebody'll blow my brains out over some BS (bulls**t). No one gives a s**t about Mike Tyson. Someone accuses me of a horrible crime, others say, 'Yeah, he's capable of that. Mike probably did it.'"

Larry King - King Denies Wife Suffers From Anorexia
LATEST: U.S. talk show host LARRY KING has slammed reports his actress wife SHAWN is battling anorexia.
Shawn Southwick King, 48 - who has been married to the 74-year-old TV veteran for 10 years - was admitted to rehab on Tuesday (24Jun08) suffering from an addiction to painkillers.
Allegations King suffers from an eating disorder have persisted since photos of her withering frame sparked concerns just prior to undergoing treatment at an undisclosed clinic.
But a source tells the New York Daily News, "She's emaciated... She always keeps a smile plastered on her face - but she is really unhappy."
But a spokesperson for Larry King has denied reports she suffers from depression or anxiety, adding: "She is not anorexic. Nor has she been diagnosed as depressed. She has taken medications because of her migraine headaches that she's had since she was a young girl.
"She developed a dependency on painkillers as a result of being prescribed medication for the migraines."
The TV actress is King's sixth wife and they have two children together - Chace, nine, and Cannon, eight.

Company B was a dance pour down triple put together by Miami-based manufacturer Ish Ledesma. Ledesma had already establish pop succeeder fronting Foxy in the '70s and Oxo in the '80s. Consisting of Lori L., Lezlee Livrano, and Susan Johnson, the trio, adorned with white River wigs and clad in spicy leather, number 1 made waves with the exclusive "Fascinated," which took clubs by ramp in 1986. It crossed all over to the pop charts in the early months of 1987, mounting into the Top 30. Follow-up singles "Full Circle," "Perfect Lover," and "Jam on Me" failed to equal that mainstream success, merely they were gild hits. All were contained on their self-titled album, which briefly charted late that summertime. Livrano and Johnson leftfield earlier recording a arcsecond record album and were replaced by Donna Huntley and Julie Marie. A sophomore effort, Gotta Dance, elicited little response outside the gild world and the end of their output would be repackagings of their hits.
