We\u2019ve got the hottest celebrity entertainment news from across the Empire primed to beam direct, with only the freshest of the fresh thanks to our insightful insiders and tenacious tipsters working tirelessly to get the drop for you.\n\nFirst up, a new fashion trend that\u2019s less about what you wear, and more about what you don\u2019t. Specifically, onola gems. These pale blue incandescent crystals have been showing up on runways all over the place since Opal Sky used them heavily in their Spring \u201946 collection. I\u2019m sure some of you deep scanners out there have spotted my festive LaVenti slips that are just oozing with the suckers. Cute as hell, but that might not be enough to save them from being trashed. A fashion design collective calling themselves Last Impression have started a movement to get manufacturers to boycott the use of the little sparkles. Turns out that the mines in Tyrol where they\u2019re collected may not be the nicest place to work. The group\u2019s been sharing some pretty nasty vid of the poor conditions there, and it\u2019s heartbreaking. Celebrities like Uvara, Karen Masters and Trilo have already joined the boycott effort, and as of right now, so am I. \u2019Cause fashion is just as much about reflecting who you are on the inside as it is what you look like on the outside, right?\n\nNext, we got some musical mayhem going on. From what we hear, not all is synching on the Cries of Whispers tour. Musically, the pairing of electro-thunk sensation Miss Nomer with the traditional Xi\u2019an choral septet Nyal\u0101th has been earning tons of exube reviews from fans and critics, but apparently, backstage things weren\u2019t as harmonious. Now, we haven\u2019t received deets on exactly what the drama was \u2014 I don\u2019t buy for a second the spectrum theory that it\u2019s the food smells coming from Nyal\u0101th\u2019s dressing room \u2014 but our tipster\u2019s reporting that Miss Nomer has officially broken her contract and is ending the tour early. While normally this would be devastating news, it has the makings of something a bit more dire since the tour was officially sponsored by the Xi\u2019an government.\n\nPlanned as part of the push to get that treaty thing everyone\u2019s been talking about passed, they had hoped this concert tour would spread a little xeno-goodwill around. Definitely an ill omen if Miss Nomer \u2014 who had the fortitude to date the infamously annoying Sess Tendi for three whole weeks \u2014 can\u2019t make peace with them. With her exiting, the organizers are desperately pinging other musicians to take Miss Nomer\u2019s place. My vote? Raz Ditto. Those otherworldly Xi\u2019an trimonic chords with Raz\u2019s soulful wail? Yes, please.\n\nFrom there we go to the case of the missing Cass. Tons of you who tuned in to watch the new series Then There Were Three last night were surprised to see the role of Agent Styles played not by infamous gadabout Ellroy Cass, as showcased in the trailer released a few months back, but by the adequately handsome Tyrese Leroc. Reaching out, we got confirmation that the studio decided to \u201cgo in a different direction for the role.\u201d Or in other words, they spent a lot of time and credits at the last minute to reshoot all the scenes with Cass so that they wouldn\u2019t be associated with his all-consuming wreck of a life. For those of you keeping track, this is the third major role poor Cass has lost in the wake of his drug fueled crash and burn at the Crimson Tower premiere two months ago. Of course, the first two hadn\u2019t started shooting yet, so this one has got to be stinging a bit more.\n\nI\u2019ll admit it. I\u2019m getting worried about our golden boy. After all his slip-ups and comebacks, has he finally vented all his good will? Scary thought. I\u2019m not sure I want to live in a \u2018verse void of his scandals and overacting. I mean, just think about all he\u2019s given us this year alone. Glitter abs? Jumper juice? The phrase \u201cI just cassed out\u201d?\n\nTo help him rise phoenix-like once again, I wanted to use a bit of our precious StarWatch time to put all of Cass\u2019s celebrity ass-hatery in proper historical context. And people say this show\u2019s not educational and stuff! I am one hundred percent stoked to welcome friend and historian, Jane Osbar, professor of new media at U of R and author of Pixels and Pain: Digital Emotional Transcendence. For the next couple of shows, she is going to highlight some of the biggest celeb scandals of the past few centuries, all of which make the stuff Cass\u2019s been up to look all kinds of tame.Thanks for being on the show again, Jane!\n\nJANE: You know as soon as you comm, Callie, I come running. Ancient celebrity gossip is my passion.\nI am totally picturing a class full of confused students wondering where the heck you are right now.\n\nJANE: No way, they totally know where I am. StarWatch is required viewing for all my classes. Hey, guys!\nAre you serious? This might be the most touched I\u2019ve ever been other than that time I got to meet Jo Niar. Surprisingly into hugging, that one. Speaking of inappropriate actions, care to share the first shocker you\u2019ve selected for us?\n\nJANE: I thought we\u2019d start with Gil Taggart from way back in 2762.\nOh man, I love this story. So dark!\n\nJANE: It is definitely a skin crawler. Basically, imagine the most attractive person you can and that was Gil for people back then. When you see the pics of him, it doesn\u2019t quite translate because of the long hair braids, but take my word, those were totally in style.\nOur fashion expert, Nisco, has promised me those are coming back but I refuse to believe him. Anyway, Gil. Super-hot.\n\nJANE: Right. He has fame and fortune, and then one day he\u2019s flying to some big party, and his ship runs into some engine trouble. The pilot sends out an emergency signal, but it cuts off almost immediately. It was still on long enough to attract the attention of a nearby repair station, so they send out a trawler just in case there\u2019s some credits to be made. When they approach the ship they can\u2019t raise anyone on the comms, so they send someone over to investigate.\nIt\u2019s like something straight out of vid.\n\nJANE: They EVA over, cut their way into a hatch, and find the pilot shot to death in a pool of blood in a room with three stasis pods, each one containing a greenish-skinned person also shot to death. Gil is nowhere to be found. And on top of all that, it turns out that the ship had been set to self-destruct, but thanks to the same mechanical problem that had killed the engine, it didn\u2019t work.\nCan you imagine finding that on an abandoned ship? Goodbye, sleep.\n\nJANE: It\u2019s even worse once you know what he had been doing with those bodies. The Advocacy would find out that as Gil was getting older, he had been more and more preoccupied about the signs of aging. Somehow he had come to believe that the copper rich blood of people from Lorona would help him stay young, but only if he got it directly from the source. So for going on five years, he had been storing people in those pods and using them for forced blood transfusions. He did them constantly, hence why he had to bring them when he traveled. When the ship broke down, Gil panicked, killed everyone, set the self-destruct and fled.\nAnd no one ever found where he went, right?\n\nJANE: Yup. Vanished. Though there are some rumors in Kesseli that Gil stills roams the caves sucking the blood of the innocent.\nHow\u2019s that for putting Cass doing a bit too much flow in perspective? At least he\u2019s not vampiring all up on people. On that happy thought, StarWatch is taking a quick break. Don\u2019t you dare go anywhere.","de_DE":"Machen Sie sich bereit, machen Sie sich bereit, denn Callie C ist dabei, StarWatch auf Sie zu setzen. Wir haben die hei\u00dfesten Unterhaltungsnachrichten von Prominenten aus dem ganzen Imperium, die direkt strahlen k\u00f6nnen, wobei nur die frischesten von den Frischen dank unserer aufschlussreichen Insider und hartn\u00e4ckigen Tipster, die unerm\u00fcdlich daran arbeiten, den Tropfen f\u00fcr Sie zu holen.\n\nZuerst einmal, ein neuer Modetrend, bei dem es weniger darum geht, was man tr\u00e4gt, als vielmehr darum, was man nicht tr\u00e4gt. Insbesondere Onsola-Juwelen. Diese hellblauen, gl\u00fchenden Kristalle tauchen auf Laufstegen \u00fcberall auf der Welt auf, seit Opal Sky sie in ihrer Spring '46 Kollektion stark genutzt hat. Ich bin sicher, dass einige von euch Tiefscannern da drau\u00dfen meine festlichen L\u00fcftungsschlitze entdeckt haben, die einfach nur mit den Saugn\u00e4pfen \u00fcbersickern. S\u00fc\u00df wie die H\u00f6lle, aber das reicht vielleicht nicht aus, um sie davor zu bewahren, zerst\u00f6rt zu werden. Ein Modedesign-Kollektiv, das sich Last Impression nennt, hat eine Bewegung gestartet, um die Hersteller dazu zu bringen, die Verwendung der kleinen Glitzer zu boykottieren. Es stellt sich heraus, dass die Minen in Tirol, in denen sie abgeholt werden, vielleicht nicht der sch\u00f6nste Arbeitsplatz sind. Die Gruppe hat ein ziemlich b\u00f6ses Bild von den schlechten Bedingungen dort geteilt, und es ist herzzerrei\u00dfend. Prominente wie Uvara, Karen Masters und Trilo haben sich bereits dem Boykott angeschlossen, und ab sofort auch ich. Denn in der Mode geht es genauso sehr darum zu reflektieren, wer man im Inneren ist, wie man im \u00c4u\u00dferen aussieht, oder?\n\nAls n\u00e4chstes haben wir ein musikalisches Chaos am Laufen. Von dem, was wir h\u00f6ren, ist nicht alles synchronisiert auf der Cries of Whispers Tour. Musikalisch gesehen hat die Paarung der Electro-Thunk-Sensation Miss Nomer mit dem traditionellen Xi'an Choral-Septett Nyal\u0101th tonnenweise Exube-Rezensionen von Fans und Kritikern erhalten, aber anscheinend war es hinter der B\u00fchne nicht so harmonisch. Jetzt haben wir keine Deets dar\u00fcber erhalten, was genau das Drama war - ich kaufe nicht f\u00fcr eine Sekunde die Spektrumstheorie, dass es die Essensger\u00fcche aus der Garderobe von Nyal\u0101th sind - aber unser Tippgeber berichtet, dass Miss Nomer offiziell ihren Vertrag gebrochen hat und die Tour vorzeitig beendet. Obwohl dies normalerweise verheerende Nachrichten w\u00e4ren, hat es die Voraussetzungen f\u00fcr etwas Schlimmeres, da die Tour offiziell von der Regierung von Xi'an finanziert wurde.\n\nGeplant als Teil des Vorsto\u00dfes, um diese Vertragssache, von der alle reden, zu verabschieden, hatten sie gehofft, dass diese Konzerttournee ein wenig Xeno-Goodwill verbreiten w\u00fcrde. Definitiv ein schlechtes Omen, wenn Miss Nomer - die die Kraft hatte, die ber\u00fcchtigte, nervige Sess Tendi f\u00fcr drei ganze Wochen zu datieren - keinen Frieden mit ihnen schlie\u00dfen kann. Mit ihrem Ausstieg rufen die Organisatoren verzweifelt andere Musiker an, um den Platz von Miss Nomer einzunehmen. Meine Stimme? Raz Dito. Diese jenseitigen Xi'an trimonischen Akkorde mit Raz' seelenvollem Klagen? Ja, bitte.\n\nVon dort aus gehen wir zum Fall des vermissten Cass. Viele von euch, die sich eingeschaltet haben, um die neue Serie Then There Were Three gestern Abend zu sehen, waren \u00fcberrascht, als sie die Rolle der Agent Styles sahen, die nicht von dem ber\u00fcchtigten Gadabout Ellroy Cass gespielt wurden, wie sie in dem vor einigen Monaten ver\u00f6ffentlichten Trailer gezeigt wurde, sondern von dem entsprechend gutaussehenden Tyrese Leroc. Wir erhielten die Best\u00e4tigung, dass das Studio sich entschieden hat, \"f\u00fcr die Rolle in eine andere Richtung zu gehen\". Mit anderen Worten, sie verbrachten in letzter Minute viel Zeit und Abspann, um alle Szenen mit Cass neu zu drehen, so dass sie nicht mit seinem allumfassenden Wrack eines Lebens in Verbindung gebracht wurden. F\u00fcr diejenigen unter euch, die den \u00dcberblick behalten, ist dies die dritte gro\u00dfe Rolle, die der arme Cass nach seinem drogenbet\u00e4tigten Crash und Burn bei der Crimson Tower Premiere vor zwei Monaten verloren hat. Nat\u00fcrlich hatten die ersten beiden noch nicht angefangen zu drehen, also muss dieser noch etwas mehr brennen.\n\nIch gebe es zu. Ich mache mir Sorgen um unseren Goldenen Jungen. Hat er nach all seinen Fehlern und Comebacks endlich all seinen guten Willen ausgesch\u00f6pft? Gruseliger Gedanke. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich in einem Vers leben will, der leer ist von seinen Skandalen und \u00dcbertriebenheit. Ich meine, denk einfach an alles, was er uns allein dieses Jahr gegeben hat. Glitzerbauch? Pulloversaft? Der Satz \"Ich habe gerade ausgeklammert\"?\n\nUm ihm zu helfen, wieder ph\u00f6nixartig aufzusteigen, wollte ich ein wenig von unserer kostbaren StarWatch-Zeit nutzen, um Cass' gesamte ber\u00fchmte Arsch-Hasserei in einen angemessenen historischen Kontext zu stellen. Und die Leute sagen, diese Show ist nicht lehrreich und so! Ich bin hundertprozentig begeistert, Freundin und Historikerin Jane Osbar, Professorin f\u00fcr Neue Medien an der U of R und Autorin von Pixels and Pain: Digital Emotional Transcendence, zu begr\u00fc\u00dfen. F\u00fcr die n\u00e4chsten paar Shows wird sie einige der gr\u00f6\u00dften Promi-Skandale der letzten Jahrhunderte hervorheben, die das Zeug, das Cass's gewesen ist, dazu bringen, alle m\u00f6glichen Zahmheiten auszusehen.... Danke, dass du wieder in der Show warst, Jane!\n\nJANE: Wei\u00dft du, sobald du kommandierst, Callie, komme ich gerannt. Der Klatsch \u00fcber alte Ber\u00fchmtheiten ist meine Leidenschaft.\nIch stelle mir eine Klasse voller verwirrter Studenten vor, die sich fragen, wo zum Teufel du gerade bist.\n\nJANE: Auf keinen Fall, sie wissen total, wo ich bin. StarWatch ist f\u00fcr alle meine Kurse zur Ansicht erforderlich. Hey, Leute!\nIst das dein Ernst? Das k\u00f6nnte das Ber\u00fchrtste sein, was ich je erlebt habe, au\u00dfer dass ich Jo Niar kennenlernen durfte. \u00dcberraschenderweise in die Umarmung, dieser eine. Apropos unangemessene Aktionen, m\u00f6chten Sie den ersten Schocker, den Sie f\u00fcr uns ausgew\u00e4hlt haben, mit anderen teilen?\n\nJANE: Ich dachte, wir beginnen mit Gil Taggart schon 2762.\nOh Mann, ich liebe diese Geschichte. So dunkel!\n\nJANE: Es ist definitiv ein Skin-Crawler. Im Grunde genommen, stellen Sie sich die attraktivste Person vor, die Sie haben k\u00f6nnen, und das war Gil f\u00fcr die Leute damals. Wenn man die Bilder von ihm sieht, \u00fcbersetzt es sich wegen der langen Haarz\u00f6pfe nicht ganz, aber man kann mir glauben, die waren total im Trend.\nUnser Modeexperte Nisco hat mir versprochen, dass diese zur\u00fcckkommen, aber ich weigere mich, ihm zu glauben. Wie auch immer, Gil. Super hei\u00df.\n\nJANE: Richtig. Er hat Ruhm und Reichtum, und dann fliegt er eines Tages zu einer gro\u00dfen Party, und sein Schiff ger\u00e4t in Motorsch\u00e4den. Der Pilot sendet ein Notsignal aus, schaltet sich aber fast sofort ab. Es war noch lange genug an, um die Aufmerksamkeit einer nahegelegenen Reparaturwerkstatt auf sich zu ziehen, also schickten sie einen Trawler los, nur f\u00fcr den Fall, dass es einige Kredite zu vergeben gibt. Wenn sie sich dem Schiff n\u00e4hern, k\u00f6nnen sie niemanden auf den Funkkontakt bringen, also schicken sie jemanden r\u00fcber, um zu ermitteln.\nEs ist wie etwas aus dem Fernsehen.\n\nJANE: Sie EVA r\u00fcber, schneiden sich in eine Luke und finden den Piloten in einer Blutlache in einem Raum mit drei Stasiskapseln, die jeweils eine gr\u00fcnh\u00e4utige Person enthalten, die ebenfalls erschossen wurde. Gil ist nirgendwo zu finden. Und au\u00dferdem stellte sich heraus, dass das Schiff auf Selbstzerst\u00f6rung eingestellt war, aber dank des gleichen mechanischen Problems, das den Motor zerst\u00f6rt hatte, funktionierte es nicht.\nKannst du dir vorstellen, das auf einem verlassenen Schiff zu finden? Auf Wiedersehen, schlaf.\n\nJANE: Es ist noch schlimmer, wenn man wei\u00df, was er mit diesen Leichen gemacht hat. Die Advocacy w\u00fcrde herausfinden, dass Gil mit zunehmendem Alter immer mehr \u00fcber die Anzeichen des Alterns besorgt war. Irgendwie war er zu dem Glauben gekommen, dass das kupferreiche Blut der Loroneser ihm helfen w\u00fcrde, jung zu bleiben, aber nur, wenn er es direkt von der Quelle bekam. So hatte er f\u00fcnf Jahre lang Menschen in diesen H\u00fclsen gelagert und sie f\u00fcr Zwangsbluttransfusionen verwendet. Er tat sie st\u00e4ndig, deshalb musste er sie mitbringen, wenn er reiste. Als das Schiff zusammenbrach, geriet Gil in Panik, t\u00f6tete alle, setzte die Selbstzerst\u00f6rung ein und floh.\nUnd niemand hat je gefunden, wo er hingegangen ist, oder?\n\nJANE: Ja. Verschwunden. Obwohl es in Kesseli einige Ger\u00fcchte gibt, dass Gil immer noch durch die H\u00f6hlen streift und das Blut der Unschuldigen saugt.\nWie ist das, wenn man Cass, der ein bisschen zu viel Flow macht, in die richtige Perspektive stellt? Wenigstens hat er es nicht mit Leuten zu tun. Bei diesem gl\u00fccklichen Gedanken macht StarWatch eine kurze Pause. Wage es ja nicht, irgendwo hinzugehen.","zh_CN":"Get ready, get set, because Callie C is about to go full StarWatch on you.
