Richard Gere is Dating Padma Lakshmi?

Richard Gere may have a new lady in his life -- model and "Top Chef" host Padma Lakshmi.

Page Six was first to report of the blossoming romance, noting that "they have been quietly spending some time together. It is all very new and recent, and happened while he has been filming in New York." E! News and Us Weekly have confirmed the report.

Gere, 64, is currently filming "Time Out of Mind" in the Big Apple, according to E! News. A source told Us Weekly that the movie star is the first man Lakshmi has dated in recent years, adding that their relationship "[is] something she's been approaching very, very delicately. They just getting to know each other. They're just having fun."

According to Us, the actor is still in the midst of divorcing his wife of 11 years, Carey Lowell. The two announced they were separating in September of last year. They have a son, Homer, together.

Gere was previously married to Cindy Crawford.

Lakshmi, 43, was married to author Salman Rushdie from 2004 to 2008. She dated billionaire Teddy Forstmann until his death in 2011 and has a daughter, Krishna Thea, 4, with venture capitalist Adam Dell.

Gere's rep refused to comment on the matter to The Huffington Post. Lakshmi's rep did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

Skechers Won the Boston Marathon.

Meb Keflezighi was a bit of a long shot in today’s Boston Marathon today. He’s American, for starters, and American men haven’t won the race in three decades. He’s also 38, a bit old for elite running. And he was wearing Skechers (SKX).

But the shoe brand perhaps best known for putting cushy kicks on elderly women (and a creaky Joe Montana) has emphatically stomped on one of the running world’s biggest podiums with Keflezighi’s victory in Boston. “It’s a pretty massive deal for a nontraditional running shoe company,” said Eric Smallwood, senior vice president of Front Row, a Philadelphia marketing and analytics company focused on sports. “It’s definitely going to get new adopters, the 30-year-old to 40-year-old who just started running.”

Make no mistake, Keflezighi wasn’t striding out in the Synergy Sunday Stroll ($65). He was shod in the latest from the Skechers burgeoning high-performance platform, a line dubbed GoRun. And it wasn’t the elite marathoner’s first win in Skechers. The company first signed Keflezighi in late 2011 and recently extended his sponsorship deal through 2016. His initial deal paid “mid-six figures” per year, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.



Skechers has already signed a multiyear deal to sponsor the Houston Marathon. But today’s event in Boston, colored by last year’s tragic bombing, will go down as one of the highest-profile road races in recent history. It was a huge coup for Keflezighi after he finished 20th at last year’s New York Marathon.

Why Skechers made the marathon effort is another question. Beating Nike (NKE) and Adidas (ADS:GY) in the race for athletes is no small feat, and even Under Armour (UA) is in the sneaker game now. Maybe it helps that elite runners come cheap. Even in six-figure territory, sponsoring an athlete such as Keflezighi is a bargain compared with sponsoring LeBron James or Russell Wilson. Four out of five elite runners in the U.S. make less than $50,000 a year at the sport, according to a survey by the U.S. Track & Field Foundation.

Meanwhile, the market for running shoes is huge. Consider how many people you know who go on an occasional jog vs. the number who play football or baseball. U.S. marathons racked up a record 541,000 finishers last year, according to Running USA, an industry trade group.

Runners also tend to be relatively sticky customers. If they find a brand they like, they will stick with it. For those who log a lot of miles, that means three or four shoe sales a year. “If you’re a runner and you get a PR [personal record] in a new pair of shoes, you’re sticking with those,” Smallwood explained.

Video: Kevin Durant makes most ridiculous clutch four-point play you’ll ever see

Things looked bleak for Oklahoma City — down 5 with less than 20 seconds left, about to lose Game 2 at home. They needed a miracle.

That’s why you have Kevin Durant on the team.

He hit this completely ridiculous fade-away three to while fouled by Marc Gasol, which quickly made this a one-point game.

That and a missed free throw by Memphis gave Oklahoma City a chance to win or tie the game and send it to overtime… and they got another miracle not from the expected source of Russell Westbrook but rather Kendrick Perkins. Because of course.

Breaking: Supreme Court Hears Arguments in Aereo Case

The Supreme Court seemed to have conflicting impulses on Tuesday in considering a request from television broadcasters to shut down Aereo, an Internet start-up that the broadcasters say threatens the economic viability of their businesses.

On the one hand, most of the justices seemed to think that the service was too clever by half.

“Your technological model,” Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. told Aereo’s lawyer, “is based solely on circumventing legal prohibitions that you don’t want to comply with.”

But Justice Stephen G. Breyer, echoing sentiments of other members of the court, said “what disturbs me on the other side is, I don’t understand what a decision” against Aereo “should mean for other technologies,” notably cloud computing.

The justices seemed keenly aware that their ruling would have vast implications for the broadcast industry and for technical innovations involving cloud computing.Continue reading the main stoAereo uses arrays of small antennas to stream over-the-air television signals to subscribers, allowing them to record and watch programs on their smartphones, tablets and computers. The broadcasters say this amounts to theft of their content and violates copyright laws.

The broadcasters say a ruling in favor of Aereo would jeopardize the billions of dollars in retransmission fees that cable and satellite systems pay to networks and local stations for the right to distribute their programming. Television executives have said that would undermine their business model and force them to consider abandoning the airwaves.

Aereo responds that it is merely helping its subscribers do what they could lawfully do since the era of rabbit-ear antennas: watch free broadcast television delivered over public airwaves.

Aereo’s service costs $8 to $12 a month and is available in about a dozen cities. In combination with other Internet services like Netflix and Hulu, it can help viewers replace much of their television diet at a fraction of the cost of a cable bill.

The case, ABC Inc. v. Aereo, No. 13-461, turns on a part of the copyright law that requires copyright owners’ permission for “public performances” of their work. The law defines such performances to include retransmission to the public.

Paul D. Clement, a lawyer for the broadcasters, said Aereo’s service violates that provision. He said a decision against the service would probably doom Aereo as a business.

“If all they have here is a gimmick,” he said, “they will probably go out of business, and no one should shed a tear.”

David C. Frederick, a lawyer for Aereo, said the service was not covered by the provision involving public performance. Because it assigns individual antennas to every viewer, he said, Aereo’s Internet streams are not public performances under the copyright law. That means, he added, that it has no obligation to pay so-called retransmission consent fees to local stations.

A ruling against his client, Mr. Frederick said, would stifle innovation. “The cloud computing industry is freaked out about this case,” he said.

A divided three-judge panel of the federal appeals court in New York ruled for Aereo last year. In dissent, Judge Denny Chin wrote that the service was “a Rube Goldberg-like contrivance, overengineered in an effort to avoid the reach of the Copyright Act and to take advantage of a perceived loophole in the law.”

21 inches of snow as Mass. closes offices, threat of flooding in Boston (PHOTOS)

Almost 2 feet of snow had fallen in the town of Boxford, just north of Boston, by Thursday night and 45 cm have been recorded in other parts of the state, says the National Weather Service. The service has already issued a blizzard warning for Cape Cod, coastal areas north and south of Boston as well as in some parts of Maine and Long Island.

"We're going to see a lot of snow and a lot of wind," Jason Tuell from the National Weather Service said. "We're concerned about whiteout conditions … with the blowing and drifting snow."

The conditions on major roads in southeast Massachusetts have already deteriorated as the winter storm strengthened, WHDH 7NEWS Boston Local News reported.

“The roads are terrible. Really slippery. On and off ramps are just going down quick right now,” a local driver told WHDH 7NEWS.

Offices would remain closed on Friday, said Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick. National Guard members and state police are now on standby for any high tide flooding in vulnerable coastal areas, he added.

“There is an even greater anticipated snow accumulation. ... There are two worrisome high tides ... and there are extreme cold temperatures. That’s a pretty dangerous combination of circumstances,” Patrick said in a briefing at the state’s emergency bunker in Framingham.

In Boston a parking ban has been announced by the city’s Mayor, Thomas Menino. Also all schools are now closed because of snow.

Up to a quarter of scheduled flights had been canceled on Thursday afternoon and evening at Boston's Logan International Airport, said the airport officials.

However, if Boston only prepares for mass flooding, some areas already face this weather phenomenon. Flooding and high winds struck the Massachusetts community of Scituate, reports New England Cable News (NECN). The residents who live in flood zones have already been evacuated before the storm. However, the officials warn about more severe flooding in the area.

The storms are far from being over in the region as forecasters predict further drops of temperatures, with some areas seeing highs just above -17 C and wind chill readings of minus-23 C and even colder.

As much as 60 centimeters of snow could fall in the eastern part of the state, from Gloucester to Cape Cod, say meteorologists from the National Weather Service in Taunton.

“With the winds and the blowing snow, the roads are not going to improve greatly. ... Travel will not be recommended,” said John Dlugoenski, a meteorologist with Accuweather.com.

He said at least minus 20 degrees might be expected in the Boston area soon.

New Year’s weather bring havoc to almost all states of US. Heavy snowfalls, ice storms, ruinous tornadoes and flash floods have been hitting the country since early Christmas. At least nine people died in a deluge of bad weather that caused massive flight delays and knocked out power.

Over 45 centimeters of snow has been recorded in upstate New York, while 7 centimeters of snow fell in New York’s Central Park early Friday. The governors of New York and New Jersey declared states of emergency and advised residents to stay indoors.

More than 2,300 flights have been canceled across the US due to bad weather.

Over 440,000 homes and businesses were deprived of power due to snow and ice in Michigan, New York and northern New England.
