COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL Following last year’s tradition, Comic-Con International: San Diego’s Thursday programming schedule has arrived exactly two weeks in advance, and like always, there’s no “easing into” things with this event — a staggering 16 panels are scheduled for the very first hour of the show, with the doors of the convention center barely open. We had all of DC’s programming earlier, so here are a few selected highlights of what to expect on July 21. The full, massive list is here, and check back in the coming days for the rest.
10:45-11:45 Oh, You Sexy Geek!— Does displaying the sexiness of fangirls benefit or demean them? When geek girls show off, are they liberating themselves or pandering to men? Do some “fake fangirls” blend sex appeal with nerdiness just to appeal to the growing geek/nerd market, or is that question itself unfair? And what’s up with all the Slave Leias? Action flick chick Katrina Hill (ActionFlickChick.com) asks Bonnie Burton (Grrl.com), Adrianne Curry (America’s Next Top Model), Clare Grant (Team Unicorn, “G33k & G4m3r Girls”), Kiala Kazebee (Nerdist.com), Clare Kramer (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Nerdy Bird Jill Pantozzi (“Has Boobs, Reads Comics”), Jennifer K. Stuller (Ink-Stained Amazons, GeekGirlCon) and Chris Gore (G4TV’s Attack of the Show!) to discuss whether fans can be sexy and geeky at the same time — and if they should! Room 6A. LIBERTY BELLE BALL The Playboy Mansion opens its doors for the Liberty Belle Ball presented by the Marijuana Policy Project and GreenLife Medical Systems. As to be expected, the event is a marshalling of forces for the legalization of cannabis as a medicine, industrial fiber and alternative to alcohol. There will be special performances by Fishbone, celebrity DJs from Moheak Radio and Fire Groove; celebrity appearances from Adrianne Curry, Doug Benson, Chris Knight, Rob Van Dam, Tom Robbins, Kari Whitman, Slightly Stoopid and the cast of Workaholics; and, of course, plenty of bunny sightings.

Five years after tying the knot, Christopher Knight and Adrianne Curry have decided to end their marriage, their manager, Phil Viardo, told Hollyscoop.com. "After starting a relationship with what seemed to be irreconcilable differences, the couple has reached a period where those differences are no longer appreciated," Viardo, told the site. Viardo added: "The decision was mutually reached after it became clear to both that some perspective was needed in order to assess their unique union… They still love one another but need some distance to consider their future." Knight, 53, known for his role as Peter Brady in the 1970s's hit The Brady Bunch, met Curry, 28, while they were housemates on the VH1 series The Surreal Life. Their on-screen romance let to their own spin-off series My Fair Brady, which documented their engagement, wedding and first year of marriage. As of Sunday evening, the former America's Next Top Model contestant had yet to address the split on her official Twitter page. "May 29, 2006 I maried Christopher Anton Knight," she wrote. ""Enjoy your weekend! I certainly am!" Earlier this month, however, Curry told Howard Stern she was "unsatisfied" at home and found attention via Twitter. The former model even confessed to using a Sybian machine (a masturbation tool for women) in lieu of sexual relations with her hubby. - Us Magazine

BIOGRAPHY ´ Adrianne Marie Curry (born August 6, 1982 in Joliet, Illinois) is an American model and reality television contestant. Curry is famous for winning the first season of America's Next Top Model.
Before participating in ANTM, Curry was a waitress. She dropped out of Joliet West High School in Joliet, Illinois in 2000 when she was a junior. Afterward, she received her GED. She was also involved with drugs had gone to rehab prior to ANTM. While on ANTM in 2003, Curry had a unique drive to win the competition. She gained the respect of many judges when she showed up to elimination, while she was battling food poisoning. After winning ANTM, Curry believed she would receive a "big" Revlon contract. In Adrianne Curry's interview with www.PR.com, she said the contract did not end up being what she expected. "We were told throughout the taping of the show that the winner would have a huge cosmetics deal with Revlon," she said. "Billboards, magazines and all that wonderful fun stuff. What ended up happening was, I found out later on when I was waiting around for this deal that never showed up… I was told that it was just convention work. I never got paid till this day for the work that I did for them. There had been a deal already arranged before they even picked out the contestants of the show that it would not be a big contract, but that it would just be this thing. They weren't even sure if the show would make it on the air, let alone be a smash success and then into this cult phenomenon. To be in season one of America's Next Top Model was fabulous because we were the first, but it was also a great learning experience." Adrianne has expressed dislike for Tyra Banks, on several magazines, including Page Six, The Daily Collegian, Steppin' Out Magazine, and Playboy. In early 2005, Curry appeared on VH1's fourth season of The Surreal Life. During the season, Curry and Christopher Knight began dating and then moved in with each other.
