Shareholder Activism

In this BU Law podcast, host David Yas, a BU Law alum, former publisher of Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly and a V.P. at Bernstein Global Wealth, welcomes David H. Webber, associate professor of law at BU Law, to talk about his interesting research in the area of shareholder activism and his paper "The Plight of the Individual Investor in Securities Class Actions," which will soon be published in the Northwestern University Law Review. Together they look at the forces that are driving shareholder activism, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, corporate governance reform and how to remedy conflicts between institutional and individual investors in class actions.

Jwoww For No H8

JWoww is promoting a great cause and joins the many celebs who have stood up for equal rights.

Jenni, who now stars in her own reality show along side Shore cast mate Snooki, is the latest celebrity to join the NoH8 campaign. The viral campaign promotes marriage, gender and human equality.

Most celebs do the photos with duck tape over their mouths, but of course Jenni Farley also taped up her chest. Nice. That is one way to get noticed.

“I followed them and they followed me back. I messaged them so I wouldn’t embarrass myself being like, ‘Hey, you guys want to do a photo shoot with me? I love your cause; I think it’s amazing.’ They completely agreed. The first opportunity I got to meet with them, I did. It was a great experience. The story blew up because of human kindness. Don’t hate on your fellow man. It’s very inspirational.”

Jennie, who was recently proposed to by her longtime boyfriend Roger, also talked about her own upcoming nuptials.

“I know I want a tight princess cut dress with boobs out and a bachelor/bachelorette party in Vegas,” she told MTV.

She is too much!!! Jenni turns 27 today so happy birthday JWoww!!!

Others celebrities and reality stars (are they the same thing??) who have participated in the NO H8 effort, photographed by Adam Bouska include Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, LeAnn Rimes, Tori and Dean, Kailyn Lowry and Lindsay Lohan….To name a few.

What o you think about the pic? Jenni looks amazing! Now I think she should lay off the surgery cause she is about perfect and almost too plastic. Who knew these Jersey Shore kids would be so epic. Spin offs, real celeb status and a guilty pleasure of many.

What’s next MTV? I don’t think those Buckwild kids hold a candle to Pauly, Mike, Vinny, Snooki, Jenni and Deena. Too bad Snooki got knocked up!

Linda Hogan DUI Arrest: More Than One Glass?

Sure, sure Linda Hogan. DUI arrests are always done by mistake. You only had one glass of champagne, which totally explains your elevated BAL of .084. Right? Well, police said it was NOT.

Yes, everyone is innocent until proven guilty in all of the 50 states — even Texas. So this case is no exception. Just because she was allegedly caught speeding around Malibu, then failing a breathalyzer, doesn’t mean anything. She told them all it took was a single glass.

Now for the awesome story cooked up by her people. What caused her to seem intoxicated? They say she only had one glass of champagne at an event, and that she was on antibiotics which multiplied the effects of the alcohol.

Regardless, she earned two separate charges. Lucky for her it’s her first ever DUI arrest, which means she will likely avoid the option of jail time. She will most likely go into some sort of treatment program, or surrender his license for a while until she is released from the program.

That will be that.

Meanwhile her ex-husband has been in the news lately himself. You may remember all of the drama surrounding the alleged “sex tape,” that he alleged starred in. Maybe all of this stress has gotten to her head and it’s starting to bottle up.

I doubt it though, they both seemed to have moved on quite well for having been together so long. It still bums me out that they are divorced. While Hulk was ultra over protective of his kids, I grew up watching him on TV and he is from my home town. They live a few miles away, or they did when they were married. This was a sad case of the reality show curse. I hope they can both be happy in the long run though.

Looking back on her old reality show with the hulkster, it didn’t seem like they drank that much. But apparently there is a problem now.

Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth Are Freaking Fine, Despite All The Weirdness Lately

We sure weren’t expecting to hear this!

In fact, we’re more than a little surprised to find out Miley Cyrus and her studmuffin are still living in the land of hugs and kisses these days.

Things have been plenty hectic for Mileybird what with the many, many pot pics popping up all over the place.

Seriously, there have been a helluva lot of pics!

And things certainly didn’t get better when Liam Hemsworth was spotted leaving a pre-Oscar party with January Jones while Miley was caught hanging with a mystery man the same day!

But, fear not Perezcious readers, all of this is just another day in the wacky life of Miley and Liam, as a source revealed:

“They are totally together.”

Even though the cray cray lovebirds were also apart for the Oscars, it seems that was just because Miley’s doting mom, Tish Cyrus, had never been to Elton John’s fabtacular Oscar party, so the songstress decided to treat her mom to the fun night out.

So Miley was just being an awesome daughter? Adorbz!

The source also added that the engagement is most definitely still on.

Does that mean we can go back to daydreaming about her wedding dress??

We just hope she kicks that nasty smoking habit before the big day.

A cloud of smoke doesn’t exactly complement a wedding dress!

An Unzipped Fly, And A Textbook Case Of Self-Incrimination

zipper%20unzipped%20zip%20unzip.jpg

It pays to know and understand the Constitution, especially the 5th Amendment. A man in Fort Walton Beach, Florida would be well-advised to read it, or at least catch a few episodes of Law & Order. As reported by the Northwest Florida Daily News:

A man stopped for driving with an inoperable brakelight on Nov. 23 was questioned when the officer noticed the man's pants were unbuttoned and unzipped. The condition of the man's pants was obvious when he was asked to step out and look at the lights for himself.
Yeah, probably the first guy ever to have a partially unzipped fly...
When the officer questioned him, the driver said he had just left his girlfriend's house and had picked up the 36-year-old female in his car to give her a ride home.
Okay...
After the officer advised the man that he believed a sexual act was performed in the vehicle, the man said the female had offered to perform that sexual act for $20. The man added that he had paid the $20 but had not yet gotten the act.
Really? It's not like you were tied to a chair, with a hammer about to smash your toes. How about this answer: nuh-uh.
The defendant had $20 in her pocket, according to her Fort Walton Beach Police Department arrest report.
She was charged with soliciting for prostitution.
Really? What about the loose-lipped, would-be john? Not cool.

Exclusive '21 And Over' Footage Introduces You To Miller

From the trailers and TV ads, "21 and Over" might seem like a run-of-the-mill college party movie, but what you might not have been able to pick up on from the previews is the talent of the actors behind the three lead characters, Miles Teller, Skylar Astin, and Justin Chon.

In anticipation of the release of "21 and Over" on March 1, we're bringing you an exclusive look at Teller's character Miller, the wise-ass motor mouth that encourages the drunken night of 21-year-old festivities at the center of the movie.

Teller gives Miller a lovable smart ass spin that's absolutely necessary for a movie like this. Check out some of his more outrageous insults and one-liners in the video above!

"21 and Over" opens on March 1.

The New Normal: Placenta-Eating Celebrities

Former Girls Next Door star Holly Madison isn't exactly the crunchy-hippie type -- but that's not going to stop her from eating her placenta. The mom-to-be, who's due any day now, announced on her blog that she'll be having her placenta -- a.k.a. the organ that nourishes the baby in the womb, or the "afterbirth" -- turned into pills after her daughter is born. "I heard it helps women recover faster and I want to recover as quickly as I can!" she explained.
