The Apple Watch will be available in 4 metallic colors, as well as two special edition colors.

Christian Post Report – Apple is set to launch its newest device, the Apple Watch, on Monday during their “Spring Forward” event in San Francisco. The event has a start time of 1 p.m. ET and can be watched online through live stream via the Apple website (details below).

Apple sent out invitations to U.S. and U.K. tech journalists earlier this month for their March 9 “Spring Forward” special event to be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, where a new product, the Apple Watch will reportedly be unveiled.

The initial teaser reveal for the Smart Watch last September during the unveiling of iPhone 6 and Apple Pay disclosed the wearable’s sleek body, some details, and an initial price point. On March 9, the occasion will fully highlight the device, including specifics on when and where it will be available, what it will do, and how much it is going to cost.

While Apple did mention the starting price for a Smart Watch will begin at $349, some versions of the device are expected to be more expensive. There are currently three known versions: the regular Smart Watch, the Watch Sport, and the yellow gold or rose gold Watch Edition, the latter currently estimated to retail between $4,999 to $7,500.

The Smart Watch, which is intended as an add-on for the iPhone and will communicate with it via Bluetooth, will reportedly be available in a host of color cases and bands users can choose from.

Apart from telling time, the new wearable will activate its display with the simple motion of raising a wrist, differentiate between a touch and a press, track a user’s number of steps and other fitness data, feature a mini-sketchpad for users to draw and send small pictures to contacts, transmit heartbeat data to another Smart Watch user, support the company’s latest payment system — the Apple Pay, and like a futuristic film scenario, allow users to take phone calls via their wrist.

Battery life for the Smart Watch is expected to be pegged at 2.5 hours for heavy app use, four hours for fitness tracking, and up to a reported 19 hours of battery life with normal wear. Sources are also saying the device may be available in the U.S. as early as March 20.

The Apple iWatch event will be streamed online on Monday at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET), on the Apple website by clicking here. The event requires Safari and an Apple device to view.

Billy Ray Cyrus Responds to Miley’s Pregnancy Rumors

Miley Cyrus with her parents Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus

Christian Post Report – Country singer Billy Ray Cyrus shocked his 1.7 million followers on Twitter last week when he tweeted, “I’m going to be a grandfather. Just call me Pawpaw!” Does this mean that one of his children, specifically Miley Cyrus, is expecting a baby?

In January, Life & Style ran a cover story announcing that Miley was “pregnant and dumped.” The article claimed that she was “notoriously lax about birth control” and that her boyfriend, Patrick Schwarzenegger, considered breaking up.

According to the magazine, Patrick’s family staged an intervention during a recent vacation in Hawaii, demanding that he breaks up with the singer.

“But Miley had her own surprise in store,” claims the magazine’s source. “When Patrick got back to L.A., they went to dinner and both said that they had something to say to each other. Patrick went first and said he needed some space and wanted to take a break—and that’s when Miley interrupted and said, ‘Well you can’t, because I’m pregnant!'”

Miley never commented on the rumors directly, but she did silence the split talk when she attended a pre-Grammy’s event with Schwarzenegger. And if her gown was any indication, there was no hint whatsoever of a baby bump.

However, the baby rumors continued, so the “Wrecking Ball” singer decided to poke fun at them by posting a manipulated image of herself getting an ultrasound. Her best friend Cheyne Thomas played a doctor, and the sonogram showed a pizza baby.

“The rumors are true,” Miley captioned the shot.

It turns out that Billy Ray was also poking fun at the pregnancy rumors, and is not actually expecting a grandchild, according to an insider from E! News. The country singer posted a follow up to his tweet, which was the same image on Miley’s Instagram, and wrote, “Yep…Papaw Cyrus.”

Jeremy Lin News: Slowly Turning ‘Linsanity’ Switch On?

Jeremy Lin is definitely one of the most watched storylines in the NBA, even after his reduced game time and his failure to meet expectations early in the season.

Christian Post Report – However, after the All Star Break, it seems Lin has gotten in a groove. During the Lakers previous games, Lin is averaging 23.1 points per game on a hot 51 percent field goal percentage.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Jeremy Lin (17) battles for the ball with Washington Wizards center Marcin Gortat (4) and Wizards forward Kris Humphries (43) in the first quarter at Verizon Center, Washington, D.C., Dec, 3, 2014.

According to ESPN’s stats details, Lin is also shooting 35 percent from deep, which is an improvement.

In addition to his scoring, the 26-year-old former Harvard standout is also letting his teammates involved in the game, showcased by his 7.1 assists during the latest stretch.

The “Linsanity” star is also grabbing more rebounds this time of the year, 4.2 rpg, and his steals output has increased as well at 1.7spg.

“Right now I feel pretty good & the team is playing in a way that is very helpful for me & coach is letting me go a little more & I’m trying to stay aggressive & find my rhythym & get to the basket,” Lin said in an interview with Lakers Nation.

With all of the improvements Lin has done these past weeks, it may now be a concern for the Lakers management whether they will re-sign Lin when he officially becomes a free agent.

Lin is an explosive point guard that runs the pick-and-roll extremely well. Reports mentioned that he had a hard time making such plays with Kobe Bryant on the floor.

But now that both Bryant and Nick Young are injured, the star point guard has no more alibis but to play at a high level to give Los Angeles a respectable exit.

Controverial Scientology Film’s Maker on How He ‘Infiltrated’ Organization

Controverial Scientology Film’s Maker on How He ‘Infiltrated’ Organization

More than 1,000 Scientologists and guests gathered in lower downtown Denver on June 16, 2012, to celebrate a new Church of Scientology. David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board Religious Technology Center and ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion, dedicated the new Church, which will serve Scientologists and the city and county of Denver.

Christian Post Report – “Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief” is set to air on HBO March 29, and filmmaker Alex Gibney has opened up about how he managed to infiltrate the relatively secretive organization.

After reading the book by the same name, Gibney contacted journalist Lawrence Wright and together they decided to make the documentary. The film focuses on the organization’s beginnings, founder L. Ron Hubbard, the celebrities who have made Scientology famous, and the stories of abuse from former members.

“I was like Larry, he wanted to find out what people got out of it,” Gibney told Business Insider. “And from my previous films, I got very interested in noble cause corruption and how when people are convinced of the nobility of the belief system they can do the most appalling things.”

Gibney decided to exclusively focus on a few aspects of Scientology for his documentary: the group’s decision to fight to be recognized as a tax-exempt religious organization, how Scientology has used famous celebrities to bring attention to it, and several members who left the organization.

He worked hard to protect those he interviewed for the camera, even using “throw-away phones and encrypted e-mail” because “people were so frightened,” Gibney said. The filmmaker also did not use any footage related to Scientology for fear of being sued for licensing. Despite his best attempts, news of the documentary got out and several scientologists staged protests at the Sundance Film Festival premiere in January and also bought a full-page ad in The New York Times to discredit Gibney and comparing his work to that of the Rolling Stone story about rape at the University of Virginia.

Celebrities such as John Travolta and Tom Cruise, two of the highest-ranked and well-known members of Scientology, have refused to comment about the film. They are remaining mum and loyal to the group.

“They are playing a PR game with them to say, ‘Look at these evil people who are attacking us. Look how valiantly we are trying to defend our organization,'” Gibney said. “There is palpable sense that the storm is turning. Something is changing.”

“Going Clear” will debut in limited theaters on March 13 and on HBO March 29.

Mayweather-Pacquiao Fight: Mayweather Wants Gordon Ramsay to Cook Him Dinner in Exchange for Ringside Seats

Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Christian Post Report – It’s no surprise that a ticket for the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao fight is one of the most sought-after items by boxing fans this year. With the match barely two months away, many have been surfing the Internet for information on how to get tickets to see the two boxers live at the MGM Grand, where the fight is scheduled to take place on May 2.

Both everyday citizens and even celebrities are reported to have a hard time securing the tickets for the much awaited fight. According to Forbes, online seller SeatGeek has 422 seats for sale via ticket brokers who have relationships with the venue or other sources where they know they will have access to said tickets. The cheapest seat listed is $4,116, while floor seats start at $22,441.

Celebrities like Jack Nicholson, Will Smith, and Leonardo DiCaprio are used to getting comped tickets when they attend a big fight, but Top Rank boss Bob Arum said to Forbes that for the Mayweather-Pacquiao bout, “nobody is going to get these tickets without paying for them.” However, if you’re world renowned chef Gordon Ramsay, the price of a ringside ticket may only cost a single meal cooked for Mayweather.

According to Yahoo!, Mayweather wants Ramsay to cook him a lavish dinner in return for ringside tickets for the match. What the boxer reportedly wants in exchange, after winning the fight, is to have Ramsay himself cook him a feast of chicken wings, a burger, and cheesecake.

Meanwhile, Arum says that ringside tickets will be harder to come by.

“Because of the price of tickets, MGM, for example, will only give ringside tickets to its customers who have $250,000 line of credit,” he said.

No doubt about it, people will be flocking to Las Vegas on May 2 to watch this epic fight that has been six years in the making. Those who can’t make the trip — or part with the cash required to purchase a ticket — will be able to watch it on pay per view, which will reportedly cost $100.

Sims can now work as detectives, among others, in The Sims 4 Get to Work DLC

Christian Post Report – Electronic Arts has recently announced that Maxis, the company behind the very successful “Sims” franchise, is closing its doors.

It was reported that EA purchased the company as Maxis continued to operate independently while building all the latest games including “Sim City,” “Spore” and “Sims 4.”

The designer of Sim City Guillame Pierre expressed his sorrow over the fact that the team at Maxis and the company itself is now a thing of the past. In his Twitter account, Pierre wrote, “Well it was a fun 12 years, but it’s time to turn off the lights and put the key under the door. #RIPMaxisEmeryville.”

EA announced that they will be merging the studio with their own in Melbourne. They also confirmed that all the games, including the Sims franchise, will continue to grow with ideas from the Maxis team.

Though Maxis is shutting down, fans need not worry about upcoming expansion packs for ‘Sims 4’ being scrapped, as the game’s first DLC, “The Sims 4 Get to Work,” is about to launch sometime next month.

The expansion pack is a hybrid of two popular expansions from previous titles, namely “The Sims 3 Ambitions” and “The Sims 2 Open for Business.” In the new DLC, players will be able to guide their Sims through different careers in law enforcement, medicine, and science. Those who would prefer their Sims to take on an entrepreneurial role could guide them to open and operate their own business.

Maxis has confirmed that “The Sims 4 Get to Work” will be available in both digital and disc form and will reportedly cost $40.

Sadie Robertson posed for a Sherri Hill fashion shoot.

Christian Post Report – Sadie Robertson who stars on A&E’s “Duck Dynasty” is requesting prayers for one of her young fans who is facing a hard battle against cancer.

The 17-year-old reality star shared a photo of a young boy no more than four years old strapped into wire monitors on his hospital bed on Friday, March 6. Robertson urged her followers to pray for the child, Sam, as he endured an additional round of chemotherapy treatment over the weekend.

“This little one is going through another round of chemo and he really needs all the prayer he can get,” Robertson wrote in the caption. “He is a precious little angel… Please lift him up in prayer today #samstrong.”

The Duck Commander teen did not explain her connection to Sam, but it was not the first time she rallied prayers for those in need. Earlier this month, Robertson directed her followers to a fan-directed Sadie Robertson account, @sadiereactions, and requested prayers for the fan.

“I’m not sure who is behind the @sadiereactions account but she needs our prayers,” Robertson explained via Instagram on March 3. “Please pray for her & her family. God is always here even when we walk through the shadow of death. We have all gone through hard times & it makes the hard times a whole lot easier with support, prayers, and just feeling loved. We are all in this world together, so let’s be there for each other. Please join me in prayer for this family.”

Robertson, who penned Live Original: How the Duck Commander Teen Keeps It Real and Stays True to Her Values, often reminds her Twitter followers to remain faithful, offering words of inspiration and quotes from Scripture. The teen is also open about her celibate relationship with boyfriend Blake Coward.

Meanwhile, Robertson stars on “Duck Dynasty” alongside famous family members including her grandfather Phil Robertson and parents Willie and Korie Robertson. The popular reality televisions series has spawned a “Duck Dynasty” musical which begins April 15 at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
