Dunkin' Donuts - the best coffee in America? Apparently not! The mega-popular donut and coffeehouse chain recently applied for the prestigious American trademark, and was promptly turned down by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. In the explanation of its denial, the Office states, "It is well established that a mark that consists of the generic name of a food that is the specialty of the house or a principal attraction of the restaurant has been held merely descriptive of restaurant services." Looks like Dunkin' Donuts will have to continue battling things out with its no 1 competitor Starbucks without the official prestigious label! Read More »
Richard Castaldo was one of the young Colorado high school students who survived the tragic Columbine Massacre of 1999 - he was shot eight times during one of the nation's worst and horrific school shootings in history. Now 13 years later, the Columbine survivor has attempted to move on from the tragedy, but currently faces foreclosure and is at risk of losing his Southern California home. After turning to many different organizations for help since running behind on his mortgage payments last February, Castaldo has finally found a supportive and inspirational force behind Occupy Las Angeles. Castaldo doesn't plan on leaving California anytime soon, and will continue to rely on the hope and support offered through the Occupy L.A. movement. Read More »
According to the popular denim clothing line brand Guess, adorable 6-year-old Dannielynn Birkhead (daughter of the late model and infamous television personality Anna Nicole Smith) will be a fresh and prominent face for the company's new clothing campaign that's set to be launched sometime in January. While some critics argue that the delightful Birkhead is much too young to front a modeling campaign, her father Larry Birkhead insists that the recent Malibu photo shoot that his daughter participated in for the children's version of the famous fashion line was a one-time thing in tribute to her late mother, Smith. Larry claims that Anna Nicole Smith's connection with Guess is a very positive and iconic thing, and he wanted his daughter to experience her mother's legacy (but not become an actual model herself).

According to a new study conducted by King's College in London, along with a slew of other health risks, it's now proven that smoking actually rots the brain by damaging memory, learning, and reasoning. The new study was conducted with 8,800 people over 50 years of age, and initially set out to prove how one's lifestyle could directly impact the mind as well as the body. Researchers were out to investigate the links between the likelihood of a heart attack or stroke and the brain from smoking, and ended up discovering that habitual cigarette inhalation also leads to certain unhealthy neurological effects.

According to the Young/Cash Money songstress, if the multinational retail corporations had just given the album more of a hopeful chance, sales probably would have gotten off to a much better start. Is it true, Mstarz readers - did fans not purchase "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, The Re-Up" because the album was just too hard to find on sale in stores throughout shopping on Black Friday?
