Whitney Houston
Ken Ehrlich , executive producer of the 54th Grammy Awards , announced that Jennifer Hudson would perform a tribute to Houston at the February 12 , 2012 ceremony . He said `` event organizers believed Hudson -- an Academy Award - winning actress and Grammy Award - winning artist -- could perform a respectful musical tribute to Houston . '' Ehrlich went on to say : `` It 's too fresh in everyone 's memory to do more at this time , but we would be remiss if we did n't recognize Whitney 's remarkable contribution to music fans in general , and in particular her close ties with the Grammy telecast and her Grammy wins and nominations over the years . '' At the start of the awards ceremony , footage of Houston performing `` I Will Always Love You '' from the 1994 Grammys was shown following a prayer read by host LL Cool J. Later in the program , following a montage of photos of musicians who died in 2011 with Houston singing `` Saving All My Love for You '' at the 1986 Grammys , Hudson paid tribute to Houston and the other artists by performing `` I Will Always Love You '' . The tribute was partially credited for the Grammys telecast getting its second highest ratings in history .
Judge Judy
Judge Judy 's ratings boost in its 16th season and late in the show 's 15th season was at least partly due to Nielsen 's change in methodology , in April 2011 . This variation benefits programs that air multiple , differing episodes a day . The updated method is totalling ratings points through adding all viewings for each daily episode -- even if one of those viewings come from an individual already counted in as having watched another of the show 's daily episodes . For example , as Judge Judy airs two different episodes per day , two ratings points are counted for every one person who has watched both the first and second daily airings . This is as opposed to one person 's viewing of the two daily episodes amounting to only one ratings point . Prior to the convert , the latest method was only used in GAA numbers , while the previous method was used in average audience measure . Some court shows air in one hour blocks and thus do not benefit at all from the updated method . Worth noting , however , is that shows airing multiple daily episodes may not directly benefit monetarily as the rating system that local stations use to sell to advertisers is based upon the prior method .
We Didn't Start the Fire
Wheel of Fortune : The hit television game show , on air since 1975 , underwent several changes in the early 1980s , including the hiring of Pat Sajak as host in 1981 , Vanna White as hostess in 1982 , and a move to syndication in 1983 , all three of which were still in effect by the time of the song ( and remained through the 1990s , 2000s and much of the 2010s as well ) .
List of films considered the worst
United Passions was also a box office bomb , becoming the lowest - grossing film of all time in American history ( with $918 ) , surpassing the previous record held by I Kissed a Vampire ( $1,380 ) in 2012 , while going straight to DVD in France and lacking any distribution in a number of other European countries . Several of the people involved in United Passions later expressed regret over the film . Director Auburtin called United Passions `` a disaster '' and added `` Now I 'm seen as bad as the guy who brought AIDS to Africa or the guy who caused the financial crisis ... apparently I am a propaganda guy making films for corrupt people . '' Tim Roth apologized for taking part in the film and admitted that he took the job in United Passions for the money .
Munich Agreement
I asked Hitler about one in the morning while we were waiting for the draftsmen whether he would care to see me for another talk .... I had a very friendly and pleasant talk , on Spain , ( where he too said he had never had any territorial ambitions ) economic relations with S.E. Europe , and disarmament . I did not mention colonies , nor did he . At the end I pulled out the declaration which I had prepared beforehand and asked if he would sign it . As the interpreter translated the words into German , Hitler said Yes , I will certainly sign it . When shall we do it ? I said `` now '' , and we went at once to the writing table and put our signatures to the two copies which I had brought with me . ''
Wonder Woman (2017 film)
Development for a live action Wonder Woman feature film began in 1996 , with Ivan Reitman attached as producer and possible director . In 1999 the project became attached to Jon Cohen , who adapted Wonder Woman for producer Joel Silver , with the hope that Sandra Bullock would star . By 2001 , Todd Alcott was hired to write the screenplay , with Silver Pictures backing the project . At that time , performers such as Mariah Carey and Catherine Zeta - Jones were also rumored to be possible candidates for the role of Wonder Woman . Leonard Goldberg , however , focused on Bullock who said that she was approached for the role . Lucy Lawless , the star of Xena : Warrior Princess , was also under consideration , though she stated that she would have been more interested if Wonder Woman was portrayed as a `` flawed hero '' . The screenplay went through various drafts written by Alcott , Cohen , Becky Johnston , and Philip Levens , and by August 2003 , Levens had been replaced by screenwriter Laeta Kalogridis .
Musical theatre
In 1975 , the dance musical A Chorus Line emerged from recorded group therapy - style sessions Michael Bennett conducted with `` gypsies '' -- those who sing and dance in support of the leading players -- from the Broadway community . From hundreds of hours of tapes , James Kirkwood , Jr. and Nick Dante fashioned a book about an audition for a musical , incorporating many real - life stories from the sessions ; some who attended the sessions eventually played variations of themselves or each other in the show . With music by Marvin Hamlisch and lyrics by Edward Kleban , A Chorus Line first opened at Joseph Papp 's Public Theater in lower Manhattan . What initially had been planned as a limited engagement eventually moved to the Shubert Theatre on Broadway for a run of 6,137 performances , becoming the longest - running production in Broadway history up to that time . The show swept the Tony Awards and won the Pulitzer Prize , and its hit song , What I Did for Love , became a standard .
Victoria Cross
Since the Second World War , most but not all Commonwealth countries have created their own honours systems and no longer participate in the British honours system . This began soon after the Partition of India in 1947 , when the new countries of India and Pakistan introduced their own systems of awards . The VC was replaced by the Param Vir Chakra ( PVC ) and Nishan - e-Haider ( NH ) respectively . Most if not all new honours systems continued to permit recipients of British honours to wear their awards according to the rules of each nation 's order of wear . Sri Lanka , whose defence personnel were eligible to receive the Victoria Cross until 1972 , introduced its own equivalent , the Parama Weera Vibhushanaya medal . Three Commonwealth realms -- Australia , Canada and New Zealand -- have each introduced their own decorations for gallantry and bravery , replacing British decorations such as the Victoria Cross with their own . The only Commonwealth countries that still can recommend the VC are the small nations , none of whose forces have ever been awarded the VC , that still participate in the British honours system .
Three Days Grace
The album was released on June 13 , 2006 and marked fourth member Barry Stock 's first with the band . Gontier also performed live by himself at various rehabilitation centres as a `` thank you '' to the people who helped him get through his addiction , and as an inspiration to others who were also dealing with addiction issues . In these performances , he would play songs such as `` Pain '' , `` Animal I Have Become '' and `` Never Too Late '' , to encourage and motivate people under treatment to overcome their addiction . Most , if not all , of these solo acoustic performances , called the `` Three Days to Change '' tour , took place simultaneously as Three Days Grace toured promoting One - X . In November 2006 , Gontier performed with the band at a special show at the CAMH in Toronto , where he had gone for his own rehab . The audience , of about 250 people , included patients , radio contest winners , family and friends of the band and representatives from the band 's label . Following the performance , Gontier did a 50 - minute Q&A session which was filmed as part of the `` Behind the Pain '' documentary .
Doc McStuffins
In Canada , the show started airing on the Canadian Disney Junior channel on April 8 , 2012 at 10 : 00 AM ET with an encore at 5 : 30 PM ET . The show also is aired in many foreign countries and has been dubbed into several languages .
Air Jordan
The second Countdown package consisted of the Air Jordan Retro XIV model in Black / Varsity Red which was similar to the Air Jordan `` Last Shot '' XIV model though it consisted of a white stitching on the sides , a different color outer arch , and a different colored Jumpman logo on the side . The other Air Jordan was the Air Jordan Retro IX model in a White / Black / True Red colorway . The package retailed for US $310.00 and was released March 15 , 2008 . ``
Whitney Houston

The album peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 and went on to be certified 4 × platinum in the US while selling twelve million total worldwide .
Wonder Woman
The origin of Wonder Woman and the psychological reasoning behind why William Morton Marston created her in the way he did illustrated Marston 's educational , ethical , and moral values . `` William Marston intended her to be a feminist character , showing young boys the illimitable possibilities of a woman who could be considered just as strong as the famed Superman . '' Gladys L. Knight explains the impact and influences that superheroes have on us in society ranging from the 1870s until the present day .
Wonder Woman
Feminist icon Gloria Steinem , founder of Ms. magazine , was responsible for the return of Wonder Woman 's original abilities . Offended that the most famous female superhero had been depowered into a boyfriend - obsessed damsel in distress , Steinem placed Wonder Woman ( in costume ) on the cover of the first issue of Ms. ( 1972 ) -- Warner Communications , DC Comics ' owner , was an investor -- which also contained an appreciative essay about the character . Wonder Woman 's powers and traditional costume were restored in issue # 204 ( January -- February 1973 ) .
Fortress of Solitude
The Fortress has several appearances in the Super Friends animated series . The Superfriends version of the Fortress of Solitude is said to be located `` in a deserted region of the frozen Arctic '' . In the episode `` Terror at 20,000 Fathoms '' , Superman gives Aquaman , the Wonder Twins and Gleek a guided tour of the Fortress showing off many structures such as the Bottle City of Kandor . In a 1980 episode titled `` Journey into Blackness '' , which said the Fortress was located `` in a frozen and desolate area of the North Pole '' , Superman spots a Black Hole headed towards Earth using a telescope in the Fortress . In a 1980 episode titled `` Revenge of Bizarro '' , Superman goes his Fortress of Solitude to stop Bizarro and return the Bizarro Super Friends back to normal with an Anti-Bizarro ray . A 1981 episode titled `` Evil From Krypton '' depicted the Fortress with a somewhat crystalline exterior and without the giant key , reminiscent of its film appearances . In a 1986 episode titled `` The Death of Superman '' , the Fortress more closely resembles the pre-Crisis comic - book version , including a giant yellow key whose use required the combined efforts of Green Lantern , Wonder Woman and Cyborg . DC
James Dean
In recognition of his performance in East of Eden , Dean was nominated posthumously for the 1956 Academy Awards as Best Actor in a Leading Role of 1955 , the first official posthumous acting nomination in Academy Awards history . ( Jeanne Eagels was nominated for Best Actress in 1929 , when the rules for selection of the winner were different . ) East of Eden was the only film starring Dean that he would see released in his lifetime .
Wonder Woman (2017 film)
Development of a live action Wonder Woman film began in 1996 , with Ivan Reitman slated to produce and possibly direct . The project floundered in development hell for many years ; Jon Cohen , Todd Alcott , and Joss Whedon , among others , were also attached to the project at various points . Warner Bros. announced the film in 2010 and Jenkins signed on to direct in 2015 . Inspiration for Wonder Woman was drawn from Wonder Woman creator William Moulton Marston 's 1940s stories and George Pérez 's 1980s stories about Wonder Woman , as well as the New 52 incarnation of the character . Principal photography began on November 21 , 2015 , with filming taking place in the United Kingdom , France , and Italy before wrapping up on May 9 , 2016 , the 123rd anniversary of Marston 's birth . Additional filming took place in November 2016 .
One-drop rule
You see , unfortunately , I am not black . There are lots of different kinds of blood in our family . But here in the United States , the word ' Negro ' is used to mean anyone who has any Negro blood at all in his veins . In Africa , the word is more pure . It means all Negro , therefore black . I am brown .
GEICO advertising campaigns
An additional commercial theme is the promotion of fictional products . In 2006 parody ads featured such products as long distance phone service , tomato soda , fast - food , a reality TV show , dolls , and even poking fun at the Old Navy commercials -- in all cases , the parody portion of the ad ends with `` but it wo n't save you any money on car insurance . '' After the GEICO slogan is heard , the commercials end with `` Why have n't you called GEICO ? '' Including Wonder Glue .
Party Crasher (Modern Family)
Phil Dyess - Nugent of The A.V. Club gave a B - grade saying that the three interlocking family units remained stable since the show is on air for four years now but Gloria giving birth to a new baby is a big change for the whole show . `` The show itself trades in the commonplace that the modern definition of `` family '' is in flux , but these families have n't had to weather any major changes until tonight , when -- tada ! -- Gloria has her baby . ''
Whitney Houston
Houston released her new album , I Look to You , in August 2009 . The album 's first two singles were the title track `` I Look to You '' and `` Million Dollar Bill '' . The album entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1 , with Houston 's best opening week sales of 305,000 copies , marking Houston 's first number one album since The Bodyguard , and Houston 's first studio album to reach number one since 1987 's Whitney . Houston also appeared on European television programs to promote the album . She performed the song `` I Look to You '' on the German television show Wetten , dass ... ? . Three days later , she performed the worldwide first single from I Look to You , `` Million Dollar Bill '' , on the French television show Le Grand Journal . Houston appeared as guest mentor on The X Factor in the United Kingdom . She performed `` Million Dollar Bill '' on the following day 's results show , completing the song even as a strap in the back of her dress popped open two seconds into the performance . She later commented that she `` sang ( herself ) out of ( her ) clothes '' . The performance was poorly received by the British media , and was variously described as `` weird '' and `` ungracious '' , `` shambolic '' and a `` flop '' . Despite this reception , `` Million Dollar Bill '' jumped to its peak from 14 to number 5 ( her first UK top 5 for over a decade ) , and three weeks after release I Look to You went gold . Houston appeared on the Italian version of The X Factor , also performing `` Million Dollar Bill '' , this time to excellent reviews . Houston was later awarded a Gold certificate for achieving over 50,000 CD sales of I Look to You in Italy . In November , Houston performed `` I Did n't Know My Own Strength '' at the 2009 American Music Awards in Los Angeles , California . Two days later , Houston performed `` Million Dollar Bill '' and `` I Wanna Dance with Somebody ( Who Loves Me ) '' on the Dancing with the Stars season 9 finale . As of December 2009 , I Look to You has been certified platinum by the RIAA for sales of more than one million copies in the United States . On January 26 , 2010 , her debut album was re-released in a special edition entitled Whitney Houston -- The Deluxe Anniversary Edition . Whitney
Will Horton
Bryan Dattilo , who plays Will 's dad Lucas , praised Massey 's scenes in the coming - out story , saying `` Chandler just rips up every scene . What a great actor ! Before I left the show we 'd worked together in only one or two scenes . When I came back I 'm going , ' Who the hell is this guy ? ' I did n't know it was the same kid ! ''
Elvis Presley
As an album artist , Presley is credited by Billboard with the record for the most albums charting in the Billboard 200 : 129 , far ahead of second - place Frank Sinatra 's 82 . He also holds the record for most time spent at number one on the Billboard 200 : 67 weeks . In 2015 and 2016 , two albums setting Presley 's vocals against music by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra , If I Can Dream and The Wonder of You , both reached number one in the UK . This gave him a new record for number one UK albums by a solo artist with 13 , and extended his record for longest span between number one albums by anybody -- Presley had first topped the British chart in 1956 with his self - titled debut .
Wonder Woman (2017 film)
In 2010 , Warner Bros. stated that a Wonder Woman film was in development , along with films based on DC Comics superheroes the Flash and Aquaman . Both Wonder Woman and Aquaman were still under consideration for solo film subjects as of June 2013 . DC Chief Diane Nelson said Wonder Woman `` has been , since I started , one of the top three priorities for DC and for Warner Bros . We are still trying right now , but she 's tricky . '' On October 5 , 2013 , WB chairman Kevin Tsujihara said he wanted to get Wonder Woman in a film or on TV . Shortly afterward , Paul Feig said he had pitched the studio an idea for Wonder Woman as an action - comedy film . The studio then began to search for female directors to direct the film . While Michelle MacLaren was the studio 's initial choice to direct ( and while she initially indicated interest ) , she eventually left the project due to creative differences .
We Are the World
The final night of recording was held on January 28 , 1985 , at A&M Recording Studios in Hollywood . Michael Jackson arrived at 9 pm , earlier than the other artists , to record his solo section and record a vocal chorus by himself . He was subsequently joined in the recording studio by the remaining USA for Africa artists , who included Ray Charles , Billy Joel , Diana Ross , Cyndi Lauper , Bruce Springsteen and Smokey Robinson . Also in attendance were five of Jackson 's siblings : Jackie , La Toya , Marlon , Randy and Tito . Many of the participants came straight from an American Music Award ceremony , which had been held that same night . Invited musician Prince , who would have had a part in which he and Michael Jackson sang to each other , did not attend the recording session . The reason given for his absence has varied . One newspaper claimed that the singer did not want to record with other acts . Another report , from the time of `` We Are the World '' 's recording , suggested that the musician did not want to partake in the session because organizer Bob Geldof called him a `` creep '' . Prince did , however , donate an exclusive track , `` 4 The Tears In Your Eyes '' , for the We Are the World album . In all , more than 45 of America 's top musicians participated in the recording , and another 50 had to be turned away . Upon entering the recording studio , the musicians were greeted by a sign pinned to the door which read , `` Please check your egos at the door . '' They were also greeted by Stevie Wonder , who proclaimed that if the recording was not completed in one take , he and Ray Charles , two blind men , would drive everybody home . I
Grey's Anatomy (season 2)
The season was primarily filmed in Los Angeles , California . Fisher Plaza , which is the headquarters building for the media company Fisher Communications and Fisher 's ABC affiliated Komo radio and television stations for Seattle , is used for some exterior shots of Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital , such as air ambulances landing on the Komo Television newscopter 's helipad . This puts Seattle Grace conveniently close to the Space Needle , which is directly across the street from Fisher Plaza , the Seattle Monorail , and other local landmarks . However , the hospital used for most other exterior and many interior shots is not in Seattle , are shot at the VA Sepulveda Ambulatory Care Center in North Hills , California . Most scenes are primarily taped in Los Feliz , Los Angeles , at the Prospect Studios , and the set occupies two stages , including the hospital pieces , but some outside scenes are shot at the Warren G. Magnuson Park in Seattle . Several props used are genuine medical supplies , including the MRI machine . Prior to being cast , Sara Ramirez was seen by ABC executives , in her Broadway performance of Spamalot , which garnered their attention . Due to their admiration , the network offered Ramirez a role on any ABC television series , of her choice , which ultimately led in her choosing Grey 's Anatomy . Ramirez further explained that at her initial audition , the producers liked her , and had intentions to add her to the show , but did not know who to cast her as . She also said she was in awe of how the executives said , `` Pick a show , any show '' , a statement she deemed rare . Ramirez 's character was given recurring status in the second season , having been conceived as a love interest for George O'Malley . At Torres ' initial appearance on the show , she was disliked by fans , due to her getting in the way of O'Malley and Grey 's relationship . When asked of this , Ramirez said : `` You do run across a lot of people who are extremely invested in that story line . Obviously , I 've heard some negative stuff .
Second Sino-Japanese War
In mid-1941 , the United States government financed the creation of the American Volunteer Group ( AVG ) , or Flying Tigers , to replace the withdrawn Soviet volunteers and aircraft . Contrary to popular perception , the Flying Tigers did not enter actual combat until after the United States had declared war on Japan . Led by Claire Lee Chennault , their early combat success of 300 kills against a loss of 12 of their newly introduced shark painted P - 40 fighters heavily armed with 6X50 caliber machine guns and very fast diving speeds earned them wide recognition at a time when the Chinese Air Force and Allies in the Pacific and SE Asia were suffering heavy losses , and soon afterwards their `` boom and zoom '' high - speed hit - and - run dissimilar air combat tactics would be adopted by the United States Army Air Forces .
Wonder Woman
Marston introduced the idea to Gaines . Given the go - ahead , Marston developed Wonder Woman , whom he believed to be a model of that era 's unconventional , liberated woman . Marston also drew inspiration from the bracelets worn by Olive Byrne , who lived with the couple in a polyamorous relationship . Wonder Woman debuted in All Star Comics # 8 ( cover date Dec / Jan 1941 / 1942 , released in October 1941 ) , scripted by Marston .
