The Justin Files, 9/19 Weekly Wrap Up


The start of the lists
As we're getting closer to the end of the year, the annual "best of" lists are starting to come out. People came out with their 10 Best Dressed Women of 2008. On the list were a pair of Point artists, Rihanna and Fergie made the cut. Also among the fashion gifted, Kate Hudson, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Michelle Obama, among others.

A day later, Forbes came out with their list of the richest Americans. A number of entertainment industry insiders made the list, including Steven Speilberg, George Lucas and, of course, Oprah. NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg is sitting comfortably at #8 on the list. And the richest American? Act surprised...Bill Gates, who's worth $57 Billion. Believe it or not, that's actually down from last year!


Famous New Jerseyans honored
Some famous Garden State natives are being honored by being nominated for the New Jersey Hall of Fame this year. Listed for possible inclusion are Jon Bon Jovi, Jack Nicholson, and Shaquille O'Neal among others. While there's no physical NJ HoF, you can visit their virtual location at www.njhalloffame.org


Britney rides the wave
After the Democratic and Republican conventions, the candidates usually get a "bump" in the polls. Britney Spears is hoping the same is true following her successful MTV Video Music Awards haul. A few days later her record company announced the release date of her upcoming album, Circus is due out on her 27th birthday, December 2nd.

An appropriate name considering what her life's been like the past year or so.


Quick Hits
* It looks like the duel of the Davids could enter round two this fall. David Cook has already announced November 18th as the release date for his debut CD. Now, David Archuleta has announced that his CD will hit store shelves in November, insiders are suggesting that he could also pick the 18th.

* Miley Cyrus apparently has a new beau. Last weekend the 15 year old entertainment mogul was spotted at an LA mall shopping and holding hands with a 20 year old underwear model. Don't get me wrong, 5 years isn't a big difference in the big picture, but can you at least wait till she's old enough to vote?
