Imagine adopting a child and watching him or her grow up to be a major celebrity. The parents of Jamie Foxx, Faith Hill, Melissa Gilbert, Ray Liotta, Keshia Cole were all privy to that amazing experience.
While all of those celebrities are uniquely talented, according to an online survey conducted on the Vizu Power Polls network, Jamie Foxx is the favorite celebrity in that group by a fairly wide margin followed by the beautiful country music singer Faith Hill.
According to recently conducted research on Vizu's network of entertainment oriented web properties, Jessica Simpson has more staying power than her sister Ashley Simpson. But the real story is that most people don't think either Jessica or Ashley Simpson will be major celebrities in ten years.

Topless pools are the hottest new amenity in Las Vegas. Topless pools, or European Pools as the are sometimes more discretely called, have been around for a while, but support for the concept seems to be stiffening up. While these pools are also some times referred to as clothing optional pools, it is really female bikini tops which are optional. Outright nudity, for anyone other than female models, is discouraged or forbidden.
Cesars Palace opened the first topless pool on the strip, but management has been discrete the topless pool's existence. Mandalay Bay added its topless swimming pool in 2003 and now Stratosphere has Beach Club 25 and the Mirage has Bare Pool Lounge. But the hottest topless pool in town is the Wynn Topless Pool at the Wynn hotel.
A lot of things like your money and dignity come and go in Las Vegas, but the topless pool trend seems to have legs. In a recent, unofficial public opinion poll conducted on Vizu's network or entertainment oriented websites, 43% of respondents felt that the topless pool trend would become a long standing part of the Vegas experience and another 32% said that the trend would catch on and move beyond Las Vegas.

Only 6% of respondents have a favorable impression of Andrew Speaker, but 21% do not have a strong feeling either way. In another Above The Law reader poll, 79% of 1625 respondents to date, disagree with the statement, "It was appropriate for Andrew Speaker, the patient with a form of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB XDR), to travel back to the United States.
While it is easy to cast judgment from afar, another interesting question remains - "If you were in Andrew Speakers' shoes, would you have done what he did?"
