Since first opening its doors in 2007, the American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge has offered temporary housing for over 2,500 cancer patients. For the second year in a row, Hope Lodge teamed up with Showtime to help raise funds and awareness for its facilities and patients. This year’s fundraiser was a tailor-made event held in Tribeca at the Metropolitan Home Showtime House, where top designers from around the world created one-of-a-kind rooms built around the cable network’s top shows – Dexter, Weeds, Californication, The Tudors, Nurse Jackie and United States of Tara.
In between touring the spectacular 14,000-square-foot facilities and taking part in a silent auction, supporters took the time to share their thoughts on some of the biggest topics being talked about by the Predicto community.
Underwear as outerwear? The concept isn’t as risqué as when Madonna pioneered it in the early and mid 1980s, but Donna Karan New York is the latest style icon flipping the script on public displays of unmentionables.
DKNY’s new Smoothies shapewear collection will be available in February. Showcased during a recent fashion show, the short, high-waisted and capri-length garments essentially work to smooth out clothing layered over them.
Not only does your exterior have a more appealing presentation, but the array of colors (such as black, neon pink and others inspired by those delicious, blended drinks) are meant to peek out and complement your flaring frocks. How’s that for adding accents to your wardrobe?
Image is everything and Smoothies are sure to be a hot item when things start warming up in the spring.

Yesterday, America was glued to its collective TV set and computer anxiously awaiting the resolution of the Balloon Boy saga.
For those uninitiated few among you, allow Predicto to get you up to speed.
Richard and Mayumi Heene, former participants of the Petri dish experiment known as Wife Swap, are amateur enthusiasts of everything from UFOs to storm chasing. While entertaining themselves with the former, Richard built a balloon that escaped from their backyard.
Earlier in the day, Richard says he repeatedly told his 6-year-old son Falcon to stay away from the balloon. When it began floating into the air and the boy couldn’t be found, the rest of the family feared the worst: that Falcon was inside the balloon.
The four-hour debacle affected air traffic at Denver’s nearby airport and the airwaves, as the cable networks broadcast the balloon floating some 10,000 feet in the air. When debris fell from the floatation device, everyone feared the worst, but when it finally landed and he wasn’t onboard, fears intensified.
Later, when the family was at home, Falcon appeared out of nowhere. He had apparently been hiding in a box in the attic … that was searched twice … by trained professionals.
The story got sketchier when the family appeared on Larry King Live and the boy made a statement that insinuated this had all been a hoax. (Dad’s drive to be on a number of reality show ventures didn’t help matters.)

“The Wait is Ova.” This cryptic message — posted on Rihanna’s Web site along with the date November 23, 2009 — has everyone trying to guess what exactly it is that we’ve been waiting for from pop’s reigning princess.
There are three likely options. The first: speculation is circulating on the Internet that 11.23.09 will be the release date of a new album from Rihanna. After all, it’s been nearly two and a half years since she put out her classic Good Girl Gone Bad disc, a year and a half since its repackaged re-release and almost a year since the album got a remix makeover. With all of that filler material, fans are salivating for some new material.
Especially if it addresses option No. 2: Rihanna finally speaks out about the Chris Brown incident. The “Umbrella” singer has been tight lipped about the situation, not speaking to paparazzi or even Oprah about what went down back in February and how she’s adjusted since.
Option 3 is, or course, that she does both.
The day before 11/22 the American Music Awards. Though RiRi wasn’t nominated this year, might she be tapped as a performer on the live broadcast? We asked Predicto Mobile members about the possibility and an overwhelming 88% of voters say that yes, she will perform at the AMAs.

On a misty morning at the Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival, finalists from around the country competed for the title of “Next Pork Personality.” The National Pork Board-sponsored contest, fittingly held on the edge of NYC’s famous Meat-Packing District, was judged by a panel led by celebrity chef Guy Fieri, the colorful host of Food Network’s ‘Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.’
When he wasn’t demonstrating his own self-proclaimed “passion for pork,” Fieri took time to chew the fat with PTV and offer his own predictions on some of the hottest TV and foodie-related topics being debated in the Predicto community. We also got an inside scoop from contestant Robert Burmeister, who served up our favorite dish of the day and showed off some particularly oink-y ink. Check out Episode 43 of Predicto TV now!
It’s a match made in teenage heartthrob heaven: Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner!
OK, so nothing is official — at least not yet. But there is plenty of ammo making folks wonder if the two Taylors are more than just friends.
The pair filmed a scene for the upcoming, all-star-casted Valentine’s Day and pictures leaked in July of the duo locking lips on the set (for the movie, natch). Over the weekend, the country-singing Swift performed at a concert in Chicago. The Twilight-starring Lautner showed up to the show and gave Swift a hug after her serenade, much to the approval of screaming female fans.
Will the Taylors dish the dirt on their relationship? Visit Predicto.com to find out.

Now that should be enough to make jaws drop. Imagine watching a T-Rex come alive as it gains on you, mouth opening wide with glistening sharp teeth — all in 3-D! One is left to wonder, though: is Jurassic Park is ever going to be released in 3-D?
Since Toy Story’s latest installment is going to be released in 3-D, the prospect of Jurassic Park following suit is prominently playing out in rumors. And with the production of Jurassic Park IV being placed on the back burner due to some tough compromises that were hard to reach, fans are speculating if re-issuing Jurassic Park’s first three installments in 3-D is the only way to go for the Jurassic team to keep the franchise alive.
Yes, many die-hard Jurassic Park fans would love to see this movie re-released in 3-D and there are many acceptable reasons why producers might do so.
One of the reasons could be whether or not the producers decide to give the production of Jurassic Park IV a go. If there were going to be a JP4, and if it were going to be released in 3-D, they could re-issue the first three installments in 3-D prior to the release of JP4.
Remember 12 years ago when Lucas Films re-issued Star Wars episodes IV, V and VI with enhanced digital effects? Lucas Films did so to herald the release of the Star Wars prequels two years after the re-issues.
So, is Jurassic Park going to be re-issued in 3-D by 1/20? Visit Predicto.com and have your say.
Have you ever considered correspondence from Miley Cyrus to be the “light in a world or darkness”? Well her fans and her dad, Billy Ray, have achy-breaky hearts because the teen queen also known as Hannah Montana has closed her Twitter account!
Why? All because some boy told her to. Sigh.
So, Miley has been filming this movie with a guy named Liam Hemsworth. The two are apparently an item now. So it appears that Miley will only be telling him what she’s doing instead of sharing the ultra-important info with her more than 2,000,000 ex-followers.
The final Tweet from the 16-year-old? “FYI Liam doesn’t have a twitter and he wants ME to delete mine with good reason.” What reason was this? And how dare he!

Dr. Phil is being sued for imprisonment, groping and brainwashing. Surprisingly, none of these charges stem from enduring his daily talk show (can it be called “talk” when it’s more of a one-way lecture? OK, we digress.).
A former patient of Dr. Phil McGraw claims that during her visitations she was held captive (in some circumstances with a naked man — not Dr. Phil); deprived of sleep and food; and “subjected to edited tapings depicting her as a different personality other than her own.” She even says that McGraw touch her left breast during one of these therapy sessions.
Harsh allegations, though the woman is no stranger to big-number lawsuits, having made multiple claims for large figures in the past decade. But is she on to something in her papers against Dr. Phil? And will he try to settle the case to keep her quiet?
