'Jackass' star Bam Margera's Porsche hit in Pa.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police say a new Porsche driven by "Jackass" star Bam Margera has been sideswiped by another motorist in suburban Philadelphia.

State troopers say there were no injuries or citations issued in Thursday's accident near Margera's home in Pocopson Township.

Margera's mother tells The Philadelphia Inquirer(http://bit.ly/sJR4Mh ) that a truck scraped the length of her son's 4-month-old Panamera while he was stopped at a stop sign.

April Margera says the other driver told Bam that he was looking at his GPS when the crash happened. She says the motorist became excited when he realized who he'd hit.

Margera says her son called home immediately after the accident to get insurance information.

"Jackass" co-star Ryan Dunn and another man died in a drunken driving crash in the area in June.

YouTube launches broad entertainment venture

 YouTube is making a bold step into original programming in an entertainment venture with some 100 content creators, from Madonna to The Wall Street Journal.

The Google Inc.-owned video site said Friday that it's launching more than 100 new video channels. The partners include an array of Hollywood production companies, celebrities and new media groups that will produce mainly niche-oriented videos.

YouTube is shelling out $100 million to producers, according to people familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The money is an advance on advertising money the videos will bring in, and Google will recoup its portion first before splitting the proceeds. Advances are as high as $5 million per channel, said another person familiar with the arrangement, also speaking on condition of anonymity.

Neither person was authorized to comment publicly on the matter.

Google declined to offer financial details of the deals, but said the majority of revenue will go to partners.

Participants include Madonna, former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal, comedian Amy Poehler, actorAshton Kutcher, "Office" star Rainn Wilson, spiritual doctor Deepak Chopra and "Modern Family" actress Sofia Vergara. Most are creating channels through their production companies. Madonna is a partner with the dance channel DanceOn, while O'Neal plans the Comedy Shaq Network.

Lionsgate is presenting a fitness channel, and other channels will be launched by news satire the Onion, professional wrestling's WWE, online magazine Slate and news service Thomson Reuters.

The channels will roll out beginning this month, though most will premiere next year. YouTube says the channels will add 25 hours of new original content daily, with dozens of Web series debuting at scheduled times.

Ultimately, YouTube is aiming to create a new digital video platform that will rival television programming.

In a blog posting Friday night, YouTube said the channels are being developed "specifically for the digital age." The video site compared the expanded video offerings to the advent of cable television.

YouTube has tried to build a more advertiser-friendly product of professional-quality video, as opposed to simply user-created videos. Advertisers generally prefer to have their ads matched with known quantities. YouTube has also previously tried to urge viewers to stay longer with TV-like services like the YouTube Leanback, which continuously plays a personalized selection of videos.

Google is also looking to add professionally produced content to its huge roster of user-generated videos, to give users of its Google TV platform something to watch.

Major Hollywood networks such as News Corp.'s Fox and The Walt Disney Co.'s ABC have blocked their content from being shown on Google TV because the sides have been unable to come to a licensing deal that the networks believes pays them fairly. Networks also don't want to jeopardize their lucrative relationship with pay TV distributors like Comcast Corp. and DirecTV.

Google is a platform that has been adopted by set-top box maker Logitech, which makes a device called a Logitech Revue that sells for $100.

Steve Jobs’ Final Words Shared in Sister’s Eulogy

Steve Jobs’ sister Mona Simpson shared in the eulogy she delivered at the late Apple CEO‘s memorial service that his surprising final words from his deathbed were, “Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow.”

In the intimate eulogy, which was printed in The New York Times on Sunday, Simpson describes Jobs’ final days and moments in a Palo Alto hospital, which was spent surrounded by his family as his breathing gradually became shorter.

His breath, she said, “indicated an arduous journey, some steep path, altitude.”

Delivered at the October 16 service for Jobs at Stanford Memorial Church, Simpson, an accomplished novelist, began by describing her initial meeting of her brother for the first time when she was in her mid-20s. Simpson was born in 1957, two years after Jobs, who was given up for adoption as an infant.

“Even as a feminist, my whole life I’d been waiting for a man to love, who could love me. For decades, I’d thought that man would be my father. When I was 25, I met that man and he was my brother,” Simpson said.

Simpson went on to describe her strong relationship with the man now know for the revolutionizing computer world, while explaining Jobs’ work ethic and capacity for love — particularly for his wife Laurene and as a doting father to their three children.

“Steve was like a girl in the amount of time he spent talking about love. Love was his supreme virtue, his god of gods. He tracked and worried about the romantic lives of the people working with him,” she said.

In describing his illness from pancreatic cancer, which Jobs was diagnosed with in October 2003, Simpson paints a picture of Jobs as an enduring, “intensely emotional man.”

She concluded her eulogy by sharing Jobs’ final moments, which were spent staring lovingly at his family, and his final three monosyllabic words as he stared into the distance past their shoulders: OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW.

Simpson is currently a professor of English at the University of California, Los Angeles and was a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award. She has written five novels, and won the Whiting Prize for her debut, “Anywhere But Here.”

Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo sends racy pics to everyone -- including model girlfriend Irina Shayk

How embarrassing! The Real Madrid star is said to be completely humiliated

Cristiano Ronaldo (R) forwarded some racy pictures of a fan to fiancee Irina Shayk -- and everyone else in his email address book.

He may have spectacular footwork on the soccer field, but apparently Cristiano Ronaldo is a bit of a klutz with his email.

The soccer star accidentally forwarded flirty messages and x-rated pictures from a fan to everyone in his message book - including model fiancée Irina Shayk, London's the Sunday Mirror reported.

"Cristiano's phone has been buzzing with calls and emails from bewildered pals in the past few days," a source said. "They have all been ringing and messaging to ask what the hell the email is about. And of course they all want to know more about the girl in the pictures."

The pictures included one of the fan in a tight T-shirt with the words "Too Hot To Handle", according to the report.

Luckily for Ronaldo, his Sports Illustrated swimsuit model wife-to-be seemed to shrug off the incident.

"He is embarrassed about the whole thing and is particularly mortified at passing the email on to Irina," the source told the paper. "But he has done nothing wrong and luckily Irina hasn't confronted him about it."

Michael Jackson caused his own death, defense witness argues

Dr. Paul White argues pop star gave himself the lethal dose

Dr. Paul White, an anesthesiologist and propofol expert, holds a bottle of propofol during the final stage of Dr. Conrad Murray's defense during Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial in the death of singer Michael Jackson.

Pop star Michael Jackson caused his own death, a defense witness argued on Saturday.

Dr. Paul White said, based on the coroners' report, that Jackson gave himself the fatal dose of propofol and also gave himself an sedative orally after an original propofol infusion by Dr. Conrad Murray failed to put him to sleep, the Associated Press reported.

Murray, Jackson's personal doctor, is on trial for involuntary manslaughter in the singer's death.

White said that Murray's original dose would have taken 10-15 minutes to work, giving Jackson ample time to inject himself with more once Murray left the room.

That, combined with additional drugs in his body, is what killed him, according to the witness.

"It potentially could have lethal consequences," said White. "... I think the combination effect would be very, very profound."

The prosecution argued last week that Murray gave Jackson as much propofol as he requested, no matter the consequences. Dr. Steven Shafer testified that Jackson would have been groggy from the medicine Murray had already administered - and could not have given himself the drug, according to the AP.

He can't give himself an injection if he's asleep," Shafer reportedly said.

Murray has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

'Batman: The Dark Knight Rises' begins filming in New York, photos show gridlock in real-life Gotham City

John Taggart for New York Daily News

'Dark Knight Rises' crew members lifted up what is allegedly a flying bat mobile in the Financial District to shoot a scene for the Batman movie on Sunday.

A little freezing weather and gridlock won't stop Batman from occupying Wall Street.

Filming for the last installment of Christopher Nolan's "Batman" trilogy kicked off this weekend, bringing a swarm of more than 1,000 actors and extras to Gotham City and drawing gawkers and fans alike to the southern tip of Manhattan.

The project, masked under code name "Magnus Rex," was hardly a secret Sunday as a menacing Batmobile structure hung suspended in the air by numerous cables at the intersection of Broad and Water Streets just outside of the Daily News offices.

"Dark Knight Rises" is scheduled to film on Wall Street in the coming days, though sources have confirmed that the Occupy Wall Street protesters will not be involved in the film, as had been speculated earlier.

Rumors were initially swirling that Nolan planned to incorporate the protesters in the film, though it wouldn't necessarily mean that they would be integrated into the storyline.

City Hall has also been rented for filming, and production is set to move on to Newark, New Jersey for a few days of shooting next week.

The much-anticipated film, which stars a who's who roster of names including Christian Bale, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Anne Hathaway and Marion Cotillard, is set to relase in July 2012.
