| Brad Pitt - San Francisco Chronicle Posted: 01 Feb 2010 09:03 PM PST Jon Voight blasts Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt split rumorsAngelina Jolie's estranged father Jon Voight has shot down rumors the actress has split from Brad Pitt, dismissing the tabloid gossip as "nonsense". Gossip about the status of the Hollywood supercouple's romance reached fever pitch last week, with reports claiming the stars - who share six children - were set to part ways. But Voight, who has had a rocky relationship with his famous daughter, insists Jolie and Pitt are still going strong after five years of dating, reports Hollyscoop.com. When asked about the split rumors, he says, "Nonsense. It's all made up stuff." Jolie and Pitt met on the set of their film "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" in 2005, while the actor was still married to Jennifer Aniston. The "Friends" star filed for divorce in March 2005 and the couple embarked on a relationship shortly afterwards. The stars have three adopted children together - Maddox, eight; Pax, six, and Zahara, five - as well as biological kids Shiloh, three, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 18 months.

| Feline agility contests take a cue from their canine counterparts - Detroit Free Press Posted: 01 Feb 2010 08:12 PM PST Dog agility competitions make great TV, with pooches racing around an obstacle course, jumping through hoops and dashing through tunnels. If you've seen it, though, your reaction probably wasn't, "What about cats?" But that's exactly the thought that Kim Everett-Hirsch of Portland, Ore., had before launching her first cat agility competition in 2005. "I thought there was no reason cats can't do it." At that first competition, there were 30 cats, none of whom had ever seen the obstacle course. And in the building next to the cat show, there was a motorcycle show. "These people came on over," says Everett-Hirsch. "They said, you gotta be kidding. So they paid admission." And as the cats came out and got the hang of it, she says, "They were standing up cheering them, 'Go girl, go!' " The jumps, tunnels, stairs and weave poles used for cat agility will look familiar to anyone who's seen the dog version of the sport, but the smaller size of the obstacles isn't the only difference. Dogs are expected to perform each obstacle on command, in an order that isn't obvious from the course layout. For cats, the obstacles are arranged in a circle, and the handler leads them around the course, making a game of it with a toy on a stick or a laser pointer. "A cat's a little different," says Everett-Hirsch. "They're running the show. You have to make them want to do it." Although the sport hasn't been going very long, there's already conventional wisdom about what breeds are best-suited. Donna Hinton of Richmond, Texas, a serious competitor, has big Maine Coons instead of a lithe, short-haired Abyssinian. For her it's not about the breed, it's about the individual. "You need a cat that has a good attention span, that's toy-driven," she says. "I've had some that decided 'I tried it, it's not my cup of tea.' You can't make them do it." Success is also very much about the handler's skill and relationship with their animal. "You have to be in tune to your cat," says Hinton. "You have to be three feet ahead and anticipate their moves." Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry. Available tools: PDF Newspaper, Full Text RSS, Term Extraction. |
