British Government Warns 40 Britons Could Die From Swine Flu Daily

The Daily Mail reports that the British government is warning citizens that UK swine flu cases could climb to 100,000 a day by the end of the summer. They also say 40 Britons could die daily as a result.
As fears of a major outbreak grew, officials in Hong Kong reported the third known instance of the virus becoming resistant to Tamiflu.

The Government predicts that by the end of August, there will be 100,000 new cases a day. If the same one-in-2,500 rate holds, there would be 40 deaths a day.

The Government's chief medical officer Sir Liam Donaldson said the predictions were scientific, but warned the actual figure could be lower - or even higher.

He spoke after Health Secretary Andy Burnham put Britain on epidemic alert.
The U.S. government has not issued case or casualty projections for this fall when H1N1 swine flu is likely to spread more easily because of cooler weather. However, they have described H1N1 swine flu as a Category 2 Outbreak, which could kill 90,000 to 450,000 Americans. The CDC's H1N1 website can be found here and more H1N1 resources can be found here.

Michael Jackson Was Working on Two Albums

Billboard reports that Michael Jackson was working on two albums at the time of this death. One album was to be a pop album and the other was an instrumental classical composition.
Billboard has learned that the singer was working on two albums at the time of his death: one in the pop vein that made him famous and another that would consist of an instrumental classical composition. And while some believe the star wanted to recapture his '80s glory days -- or escape financial trouble -- those who worked with him recently say he was motivated by his fans and his children.

Jackson was working on the pop album with songwriter Claude Kelly and Akon, who says that Jackson was motivated by the ticket sales for his performances. "He said, 'My fans are still there. They still love me. They're alive,'" Akon says. "His kids are like his first priority, and they had never seen him perform live. He was trying to create the most incredible show for his kids."
If the albums were far enough along it is possible they could be released posthumously. There have also been reports that Michael Jackson has a library of 100 songs.

Kanye West is Interning at the Gap

Kanye West 808s HeartbreakKanye West is now interning the Gap. He is reportedly working hard and recently stayed until midnight on a Friday night.
A source revealed to US Weekly, "Fashion is Kanye's main priority at the moment. He wants to get his own brand started."

And far from using her superstar status to work his way up the ladder, Mr West is reportedly mucking in with his fellow interns "He works all the time, and one Friday night recently, he stayed until 12 am. He's learning the fashion business from the inside and trying to do it quietly."
Kanye West has been a roving fashion internet lately - he has also interned at Louis Vuitton and Raf Simons. Kanye's Louis Vuitton internship resulted in a sneaker collaboration.

Kanye West has been pushing a different style than some hip-hop artists. A Washington Post story has a photo of Kanye West in an Argyle sweater.

Rachel Zoe Launching The Zoe Report Newsletter

Rachel Zoe


Rachel Zoe is launching an email newsletter according to her website, rachelzoe.com. The website says the newsletter is "going to be bananas." The Zoe Report newsletter will cover accessories, apparel and beauty products according to the website and the site's terms.
The chic variety of accessories, apparel, and other items featured in The Zoe Report are carefully chosen by Rachel Zoe and her editorial team of fashion addicts-ahem-experts.

Never in a million years would we accept money (or Neiman Marcus giftcards) in exchange for editorial endorsement. That would be bananas. The bad kind.
Some fashion blogs are comparing the newsletter to Gwyneth Paltow's GOOP. The concept is similar but the content of the newsletters could be quite different.

Kelley Blue Book Launches Cash for Clunkers Calculator

KBB Cash for ClunkersKelley Blue Book has launched a Cash for Clunkers Calculator on its website. The calculator helps consumers determine if their current vehicle might be eligible for up to $4,500 toward the purchase of a more fuel-efficient new car.
Kbb.com provides a simple, interactive Cash for Clunkers Calculator to help consumers determine whether they may be eligible for a credit under the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS), the official government name of the Cash for Clunkers program. The calculator helps consumers evaluate vehicles with model years between 1989 and 2009 based on make, model, condition, and mileage. The age of the vehicle, its fuel economy and the fuel efficiency rating of the new car are key factors to determine whether the vehicle qualifies for a 'Cash for Clunkers' credit toward the purchase of a new vehicle.
There has been some criticism of the program because it only runs through November 1. The CARS program will also end if it runs out of money before November 1st. $1 billion has been allocated for the program, which is enough for 250,000 consumers to use.
