MELISSA ETHERIDGE: THIS IS ME album. That’s why I called it ‘This Is M.E,’” she said. The music that emerged on “This Is M.E.” still has the familiar heartland rock foundation that’s expected from Etheridge. But the album successfully makes considerable use of programmed rhythms, incorporates plenty of modern (and often synthetic) sonics into the sound and puts more emphasis on groove. A soul/R&B influence is especially evident in songs like the sassy hip-hop-ish “Monster” and the sensual thump of “All The Way Home,” while Etheridge puts some funk into the rocking stomp of “Ain’t That Bad.” There’s also a bit of country to “Do It Again,” a

largely acoustic tune that gets a contemporary touch from its bubbling rhythm track. And there’s a little Coldplay in the spacious epics “Like A Preacher” and “A Little Hard Hearted.” Even “I Won’t Be Alone Tonight,” a rock anthem in the vein of previous signature hits like “I’m The Only One” and “Bring Me Some Water,” mixes up the formula, dialing back on the guitar riffs and putting the emphasis on a big beat and expansive bass line. One thing that remains consistent on “This Is M.E.,” though, was the honesty that Etheridge brings to her lyrics. The most obvious example is the closing track, the swelling piano ballad “Who Are You Waiting For.” It’s about her new partner, Linda Wallem, and the moment they decided they should be more than friends. The couple, who live in California,

“I have children, and I’m going to put all my love into my children and I’m going to have meaningless relationships and that’s it.”

JOHN TSIAVIS

elissa Etheridge didn’t call her latest studio album “This Is M.E.” to suggest that it gave fans the most honest, best reflection of who she is musically, lyrically and as a person of any of her albums. She chose the title because it represented the sense of discovery she experienced during the project and the fact that she found new parts of herself as a songwriter and musician in doing “This Is M.E.” And the irony is that in order to make an album that presented a better musical and lyrical picture of herself, Etheridge needed to be far more collaborative in creating the songs than on any of the albums she’s released. “The lyrics are 98 percent mine,” Etheridge said in a recent phone interview. “I collaborated musically on everything, and that was more fun than I thought it would be.” In a 12-album career that has included five platinum albums, including 1993’s “Yes I Am” and her 1988 self-titled debut, and popular songs like 1989’s “Bring Me Some Water,” 1995’s “Come To My Window” and 2000’s “Angels Would Fall,” Etheridge has pretty much been a one-woman show when it’s come to her songs. With only a handful of exceptions, they’ve been written solely by Etheridge. But she went into the “This Is M.E.” project wanting to get outside of her comfort zone and find new dimensions in her music. She decided co-writing was one way to accomplish that goal. She chose several writer/ producers whose work stretched beyond rock, including Jon Levine (Nelly Furtado, Selena Gomez), Jerry Wonda (the Fugees, Mary J. Blige), Roccstar (Chris Brown, Rihanna) and Jerrod Bettis (OneRepublic, Adele). Her collaborators certainly brought new ideas to the table, but to her surprise, so did Etheridge. On many occasions, they heard something unique and new coming from Etheridge, and pointed it out before Etheridge herself realized what she was doing. “Like in John Levine…the things that I would throw away were the gems that (he was) hearing,” Etheridge said. “(The song) ‘Monster,’ that whole (guitar) lick, I was sitting in the corner and we were playing another song, and I was just (playing around) because I was going to put a slide on another song. And Jerry (Wonda) said ‘Stop! What are you playing?’ And he threw me into the booth and we recorded it and we built a whole song around it. I wouldn’t have done that. So there are things they saw in me that I would have overlooked. “It’s me getting to know myself on this

married in May 2014. Etheridge, 54, has seen her share of roller coaster times in her personal life over the years, including a bout with cancer (she is now celebrating a decade of being cancer free), the tumult that came with becoming one of the first rock artists to come out as being gay and the demise of a pair of highprofile relationships. In 2000, she split with Julie Cypher, with whom she had a daughter, Bailey, and a son, Beckett, who were fathered by sperm donor David Crosby of Crosby Stills & Nash. Then in 2010, her nine-year relationship with actress Tammy Lynn Michaels (a union that had produced twins in 2006) ended. After that second painful split,

“It’s me getting to know myself on this album. That’s why I called it ‘This Is M.E.’”

Etheridge thought she was done with committed relationships. “I was like no, I’m no good at this. I don’t trust who I fall for,” she said. “I don’t know what I’m doing here, so seriously, I’m through with love. That’s it. I have children, and I’m going to put all my love into my children and I’m going to have meaningless relationships and that’s it.” But at the same time, Etheridge had invited Wallem to share her home and help with raising her kids. For awhile, all was platonic between the two long-time friends. “She stayed in the other room and she really helped me,” Etheridge said. “And we did, we were doing all the things that relationship does in a house, that a partner does. At one point, I just, I think I asked her where the sippy cups were. She looked across the kitchen and went ‘Well, dear,’ like a married couple. I went oh, wait a minute, I already have all this stuff I was afraid I wouldn’t have in someone who is able to be a partner and a friend. Why not see if the one last thing works?” Etheridge is continuing to promote “This Is M.E.” with a winter tour, but she also has a released a new concert DVD/ CD, “A Little Bit of Me: Live in L.A.,” to coincide with the road trip. It features 13 tracks filmed and recorded at the last stop on her 2014 “This Is M.E.” tour, the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles. Etheridge said she wanted to document the sound she was creating with her new touring band, which includes Wonda (bass), Arden Altino (keyboards), Brandyn Porter (guitar), Blair Sinta (drums) and singers Jessica Antonette and Ava Raiin. Etheridge, though, is playing solo on her winter tour, which includes a Feb. 27 concert at Jemison Concert Hall in Birmingham. But she loves how her latest band sounds on the DVD. “We were so rocking, this band. I was having so much fun playing with these guys,” she said. “They come from the same kind of, I don’t know, soul, as I do. And even my older songs, ‘If I Wanted To,’ all of a sudden was like, ‘Wow, this song is just awesome,’ from 1994. I always like to keep my songs alive. I don’t want them (to be) well, there’s that song. There’s that arrangement. There it is. My songs have gone through so many different things every time I get a new band. And this is definitely more rhythm driven. And I’m a much better lead guitar player. I play so much more lead. That is really showcased on this DVD.”

STARBOROUGH SAUVIGNON BLANC // NEW ZEALAND CITRUS

>>> B E E R R E V I E W | B R E T T R E I D

PARADE GROUND COFFEE PORTER // TINROOF BREWING CO.

tarborough Sauvignon Blanc wine comes from the Marlborough wine growing region on New Zealand’s South Island. In this review of Starborough Sauvignon Blanc we’ll go over the price, alcohol content, taste and more of this crisp white wine. You’ll also find a great food pairing suggestion at the end of this review. The Marlborough wine growing region is one of the sunniest areas in the country due to a ridge of mountains to the west that limit rainfall. Also, the region has a long, cool growing season, which is advantageous for grape growing. For this review I tasted the 2014 vintage of this wine. APPEARANCE In the glass, the first thing that was noticeable were the countless tiny bubbles that appeared all over the glass. The wine itself was straw colored and pretty in appearance, giving off light brassy reflections. It’s a leggy white, with legs that hold on for some time. AROMA On the nose, Starborough Sauvignon Blanc delivers a crisp grapefruit aroma combined with other general citrus notes. The aroma is enjoyable and the pres-

ence of alcohol is subtle. Starborough Sauvignon Blanc alcohol content 12.5% by volume, per the bottle. TASTE The wine’s aroma carries forward to the flavor. Its grapefruit and citrus flavors are mild, enjoyable and not overly sweet. The aforementioned bubbles did not result in any carbonation in the taste. FINISH This is a long finishing Sauvignon Blanc. The finish is carried equally by the wine’s flavor and its acidity. The flavor being a tad more enjoyable then the acidity. OVERALL OPINION Overall, I really enjoyed this wine. Its best part was the flavor and I liked the fact that it was subtle and not overly sweet. Starborough Sauvignon Blanc price paid was $10.99. Tasty and refreshing! SUGGESTED FOOD PAIRING The Starborough website provides several excellent suggested pairings and recipes to go along with this wine. Being a big seafood and curry fan, my favorite is the Coconut Curry Lime Mussels. I’d expect the crisp aspects of this wine to compliment the heavier coconut curry. The Goat Cheese Spread sounds great too!

FEBRUARY 18 + MARCH 3

he time has finally come, and it saddens me. I’ve made it almost to the end of all the beers I brought back from our trip to New Orleans. I feel like I brought back way more than I did, but I’ve also been sharing with my wife and friends. Nevertheless, it’s been fun drinking something that isn’t offered that much and it just intensifies the want for more of it. One of the beers that I have absolutely loved is a coffee forward brew from Tin Roof Brewing Company called Parade Ground only produced in the winter. I wish I would have bought more than a six pack because I would love to sip on this coffee explosion more and more. Since I bought a six pack, I drank it out of a can and I drank it out of a glass, and to be perfectly honest, I preferred the flavor out of the can a good bit more. Something about it just brought it to life for me and I really enjoyed it. Something I will mention about the Tin Roof cans is that they fill this bad boys completely; like, there’s no headspace at all (which I’m not complaining about.) Also, the can art is pretty cool in my opinion, because if you were to describe it to me, I would probably assume it looks cheap, but this is beautifully done and really screams “there’s a lot of coffee in here.” The color is a deep, dark brown color that has a brighter brown hue on the edges. A thin, bubbly head of cream colored foam rests on top and disappears rather quickly. There’s barely an lacing on the glass after it recedes, but it doesn’t take away from the aroma. Up front you basically are hit with a ton of coffee and bread-like malt. Once the beer warms up, you can begin to smell some chocolate and a bit of the hops, but nothing overpowering. The aroma overall, past the coffee, is lacking a bit, because it doesn’t really show the full spectrum of great ingredients. Maybe it’s just too much coffee. Taste was where this one shined for me, because the lacking elements in the aroma were made up for in the taste. Much like the nose, you get a lot of coffee up front from a mix of mocha and French roast, but it’s not entirely discernible unless you know coffee. There’s a bit of coffee acidity that you pick up midway through the sip and it’s the only drawback

for me. At the end, you get a bit of the hops, which provide a bit of a fruity flavor along with a nice bite from the yeast. When the beer warms up, you can start to develop more of that chocolate flavor on your tongue which I can attribute to a mixture of the chocolate malt and the mocha coffee beans that are used. It’s an interesting taste because of the combination of acidity that’s still lingering around, but in some sips it can get a bit masked by the chocolate. I would definitely take your time drinking this one to allow for the evolving flavors. Mouthfeel is a bit different than other porters I’ve had recently. The texture is slick and with some real body, but there is a nice tangy, dry finish that you get from using the hot brewed coffee. I quite enjoyed the mouthfeel of this beer because the carbonation was moderate and the body really made the beer seem bigger than it was, but light at the same time. There was little to no alcohol taste at all, which, as my good friend Bo Hicks would say, cranked up the Slamability Index real high. I could definitely see myself sitting out on my porch drinking a few of these without feeling weighed down. Overall, there were some issues, but I’ve never had a perfect beer by any means. This is an extremely enjoyable porter that hits several high notes for me. The only thing I can really point out that I didn’t like is the use of hot brewed coffee, because of the acidity that it added to beer, but that’s just a personal preference. Other than that, I would suggest picking this up next winter, or if you find it now, grab a sixer or two. Enjoy!

PREGANCY AND CHIROPRACTIC CARE L

ove must be in the air, as expected around Valentine’s Day! In the past couple weeks; I have had more pregnant patients than the whole 2015-year combined. Personally, there is no greater feeling than helping a woman get relief while going through pregnancy pain and changes. As a chiropractor, I look not only at the structure of the skeletal system or the bones, but also the surrounding muscles, ligaments, and nerves. As one goes through pregnancy, many changes are taking place with the body to create an ideal environment for the developing baby and to prepare the mom for birth. These changes include physical, physiological, and hormone levels. Many women seek chiropractic care to relieve neck or back pains that can result from weight gain and altered biomechanics during pregnancy. Chiropractic care during pregnancy maintains, and can even improve, balance and alignment in your spine and pelvis. This can help your baby assume her optimal birthing position and reduce the risk of having a breech baby. Benefits of chiropractic care include: ESTABLISHING A PELVIC BALANCE As the pelvis widens and moves as the baby grows, it is important for the woman to keep proper pelvic alignment. When the pelvis is misaligned, this not only causes the woman to experience pain but can make it difficult for the baby to get in the best possible position for birth. Optimal baby position can help avoid pregnancy complications such as the breech and posterior positions that can interfere with the natural ease of labor. EASE OF MUSCLE TIGHTNESS A woman bodies changes drastically throughout the growth of her fetus and many muscles become tight as the baby grows. Chiropractic care can help loosen the muscles that will decrease pain one may experience and keep the body balanced. LIGAMENT LAXITY As a mother’s weight increases, her center of gravity shifts outward and her postural compensations respond accord-

ingly. Hormone levels change to create laxity of the ligaments to help aid in the birthing process. This laxity can lead to instability of the joints including the spine and pelvis. Chiropractors can help stabilize the joints through adjustments and prescribing safe, effective exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor and core muscles. NUTRITION Chiropractors are not only trained to help with skeletal and muscular problems but also are highly knowledgeable in nutritional advice that is crucial to keep the mom and baby healthy. Whether you are under chiropractic care or not, nutrition should be addressed with your medical professional through your pregnancy. Even if you do not receive chiropractic care through your pregnancy, there are some steps you can take to ease pain and keep your body in alignment for birth. These steps include avoiding one-sided positions or repetitive motions to one side, avoid carrying older children on your hips, and avoid wearing high heels. When sleeping, prop a pillow between your knees, which will help with comfort and can take pressure off the low back area. Exercising through pregnancy is a great way to help with pain and keep you healthy throughout the 9 months. Ideal exercise for pregnant woman include swimming, which takes pressure off your joints and yoga (there are yoga classes taught specifically to pregnant women that safe and effective here in the Tuscaloosa area). As more women are seeking the benefits of chiropractic care and alternative holistic medicine throughout pregnancy, more health care providers are seeking trained doctors of chiropractic in their communities to refer their pregnant patients to. Most importantly, seek options that support your body’s natural abilities to function, your personal beliefs, and find medical professionals who are respectful of your choices.

THE WORK OF DEBORAH HUGHES TO BE FEATURED T

he Arts Council of Tuscaloosa will host an exhibit of works by local artist Deborah Hughes at the Dinah Washington Cultural Arts Center. Titled “On the Rocks”, the display of paintings will be open to the public March 4-April 1, 2016. An opening reception will be held on March 4 from 5-8 p.m. during First Friday. Hughes’ recent experience as curator of themed shows at the University Medical Center prompted her to start looking for a unifying theme in her own work. “I noticed that rocks played a prominent role in many of my paintings. The seeds of this exhibit were sown on the coast of Southern Calif. and further took root during a trip to the Canadian Rockies,” said the artist. While painting on location her work is foremost about being there, direct observation, and a visual dialog with her chosen environment. “Rocks are the subject, the focus, the anchor or an important part of the underlying compositions included in this exhibit,” said Hughes. Deborah Hughes’ path in art started early in Meridian, Miss. and has taken twists and turns throughout her career. Her influences range from weekly lessons with abstract expressionist Eloise McLellan during her youth to her studies at the Art Department at The University of Alabama during the ‘golden sunset’ of the Little Bo, Woods Quad era. She received a BFA in painting and experienced an eclectic mix of professors including Al Sella, Howard Goodson and Richard Brough. It was in sculpture with Art Oakes that she thoroughly received the directive to break down any previously held idea about “what art is”. Hughes then attended Florida State to pursue an MFA in painting with her graduate show consisting of mixed media sculpture installations. While in Fla., she worked as an illustrator of children's books and had a two-year residency as a visual artist with The Fine Arts Council of Florida. She returned to Ala. to fill a position as assistant professor of art at the University of West Alabama and later became Art Director of Educational Media for The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Her experience with the University was rich and varied, including the design of award winning theatre and dance posters, magazines, web design and interactive media. Painting has always been a constant, but Deborah’s love of collecting, combining and manipulating found objects has been a reoccurring theme. After leaving UA in 2002, she went directly to Calif. for 5 months. Her 2003 show at the Kentuck Gallery, titled “Five Months in Carpinteria”, represented her experience as a landscape painter during her sojourn. While in Calif. she became a founding member of SCAPE (Southern California Artists Painting the Environment) and participated in classes and workshops lead by prominent area artists including Michael Drury, John Comer and Marcia Burtt. Thus Plein Air painting, which has almost a cult following, has captured her imagination for the last decade. In Tuscaloosa, one-woman shows include The Kentuck Gallery, The Art Council’s Junior League Gallery, The University of Alabama Ferguson Center Gallery and the University Medical Center. In the fall of 2011, her paintings were featured in two onewoman Tuscaloosa shows titled “Wanderings” and “Every Bloomin’ Thing”. Around Alabama her work has been in The Energen Show, Wonders of Alabama Art and The Alabama Wildlife Federations’ Flora and Fauna show. In the fall of 2012 her work was featured in a show at The Birmingham Botanical Gardens titled “Down the Garden Path, and to the Water’s Edge”. The Dinah Washington Cultural Arts Center is located at 620 Greensboro Avenue in downtown Tuscaloosa.

Brookwood Job Fair Attracts Hundreds of Job Seekers

More than 600 job seekers attended the West Alabama Job Fair-Brookwood Feb. 9, many of whom were mine and steel workers displaced by recent layoffs by Walter Energy, PCP and Faurecia. The fair, a joint project of West Alabama Works, the Alabama Department of Labor and the Alabama Career Center System, included representatives from more than 50 employers with jobs ranging from automotive to health care to hospitality. In addition to the employers at the fair, the Job Link unit was also on the site to aid in job placement. Donny Jones, Chief Operating Officer for the Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama and a member of the Alabama Workforce Council and the State Workforce Development Board, said West Alabama Works was pleased with the results of the job fair. “We were pleased with the turnout at yesterday’s event with 604 registered attendees,” he said. “From all indications from our employers, they were very pleased with the quality of the applicants. More than 90 percent of those attending yesterday were from the recent layoffs in the mining and steel industry, and that was our target.”

NOTHING BUT NOODLES // OFFERS NOTHING BUT VARIETY

he past 3 months almost seem to be a gastronomical explosion of eateries in the Tuscaloosa area. Whether it’s in the classic downtown area or the newly popular shopping areas off of McFarland Boulevard, Tuscaloosa is in no position to complain about lack of restaurants. Joining the lunch and dinner competition is Nothing but Noodles with a Tuscaloosa location as the franchise’s fourth spot in Alabama and sixth overall in the country. Despite the name plastered on the front of the building and menu, the restaurant offers much more than noodles. Taking a solo outing for lunch, my eyes danced around the menu as a first time visitor deciding between actual noodles or a salad, or some of the more random things like Thai lettuce wraps and Mozzarella cheese bread. When I set my sights on definitely going for noodles, I was impressed with the ethnic variety of dishes from capellini primavera to pad Thai, to beef stroganoff. When I finally opted for something in the Asian realm, I went for the safe option of sesame lo mein with mushrooms, bell peppers, Napa cabbage, and scallions. It wasn’t until after making my order that I realized I could have easily added some type of protein and additional veggies for an extra charge. I quickly took my order number and found a small table to sit back and observe. I was impressed with the ample number and variety of seats inside, with additional open seating in the convenient patio area. Looking around the restaurant I noted plenty of televisions, loud conversation, and the sights and sounds of food preparation from the open kitchen area behind the order counter. The most interesting thing I noticed about the restaurant and menu overall was the advertised accommodation of various food allergies, including gluten and peanuts. In addition to offering an allergy guide upon request, a large poster of a slice of gluten-free Reese’s peanut butter pie was just downright impressive. It wasn’t too long until I found myself welcoming a steamy bowl of lo mein noodles. Armed with both chopsticks and a fork, I decided to dress my dish with an extra spice of Sriracha. As a bit of a noodle snob at times, I was pleasantly surprised with the texture of the noodles…mainly the fact that they weren’t overcooked. Overall, I’d consider Nothing but as a great new contender for lunch and dinner in Ttown. The strategic placing of the franchise in the new Legacy Park shopping area has diners close to forgetting that they’re in Tuscaloosa. The speed of the fast casual eatery makes it a perfect place to try out a new lunch spot. Nothing but Noodles is located at 1320 McFarland Boulevard in the Shoppes at Legacy Park and opens daily at 10:30 a.m. Tweet us @ThePlanetWeekly and let us know where you are eating!

THE GREAT PEACOCK PERFORMS LIVE AT DRUID CITY BREWING COMPANY | Judah Martin

he Great Peacock will perform at Druid City Brewing Company on Thursday, February 25 at 8 p.m. Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, the band is by rock and roll legends like Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty. They describe the 11 songs featured on their debut album, Making Ghosts, as a “middle ground between rootsy, down-home Americana and super-sized arena pop/rock.” “To us, it’s just pop music with organic acoustic instruments,” says Andrew Nelson, who shares lead vocals and guitar duties with co-founder Blount Floyd. “The album has some fiddle, some pedal steel and a whole lot of acoustic guitar, which sounds like the traditional setup for a country band. But this isn’t a country record. It’s not really a folk record, either. It’s a pop/record... with folk tendencies.” Band members include Andrew

Nelson, Blount Floyd, Nick Recio, and Ben Cunningham. The Great Eagle originally began as a southern rock duo with Nelson and Floyd and, after briefly splitting to pursue separate projects, they returned to expand on their original sound, creating a unique blend of genres that corresponded their band’s colorful image. “We initially thought [The Great Peacock] was just a funny name for a band,” Nelson admits, “but through the evolution of everything we’ve done, we’ve always been big and colorful. That’s why Blount jumps around onstage. That’s why I wear a suit jacket embroidered with feathers, which is basically a poor man’s nudie suit. We’ve embraced the image of the big peacock feathers, and we want to entertain you. We look that way, we think that way, and we sound that way, too.”

The Countess of Storyville February 16– February 20 1910: Storyville: the legal red light district of New Orleans and the home of Jazz and Ragtime. A wealthy and beautiful woman returns from Paris to set up a “Maison De Joie”. Who is she and why has she come back? Based on a composite of real events and people, this sweeping musical being developed for Broadway, is at the core a mystery cloaked in politics.

Ghosts February 22–28 This Ibsen classic concerns the struggles of a mother and son; and the controversial issues, from disease to incest, that they must face.

Alabama Repertory Dance Theatre February 23–27 The pre-professional dance company, Alabama Repertory Dance Theatre, returns to the stage featuring all-new choreography by award-winning dance faculty.

ZOOLANDER 2 // ZENSATIONAL

★★★★

OU T OF 4

ny movie that opens with pop-singer Justin Bieber getting riddled with machine gun bullets cannot be all bad. “Zoolander 2” qualifies as zany, zippy, and zensational! Indeed, sequels rarely deliver the goods as well as the originals. Nevertheless, “Zoolander 2” is twice as funny as its fashion spoof predecessor. Actor, writer, & director Ben Stiller waited 15 years before he revived this iconic idiot, and this polished sequel with Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell qualifies as simply sidesplitting. Meaning, if you love to laugh at morons, this frivolous, fast-moving comedy of errors is sure to please. Rather than rehash “Zoolander,” Stiller and “Zoolander 2” scribes Justin Theroux, Nicholas Stoller, and John Hamburg have dished up something different that is devastatingly dopey. The villains don’t brainwash Derek Zoolander to bump off a prominent prime minister to prevent passage of sweatshop labor reforms. Instead, our heroes thwart the villain who wants to eliminate all rival clothing designers. Similarly, like the original, “Zoolander 2” glitters with a constellation of star cameos equal to its antecedent, featuring Macaulay Culkin, Billy Zane, Sting, Lenny Kravitz, John Malkovich, Kiefer Sutherland, Katy Perry, Demi Lovato, M.C. Hammer, Susan Boyle, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tommy Hilfiger, Willie Nelson, and Kim Kardashian West. For the record, Stiller made his premiere appearance as Derek Zoolander in 1996 at VH1 Fashion Awards. Happily, sight gags and shenanigans galore ensue as our past-their-prime male supermodels emerge from exile to reestablish their dominance in the fashion world. “Zoolander 2” unfolds with an atmospheric homicide straight out of a crime thriller. Two anonymous assassins in leather jackets and helmets who wield machine guns pursue a mysterious figure on foot and corner him in a dark alley in Rome. The doomed quarry turns out to be Justin Bieber. One of the gunmen peppers Bieber’s chest with a hail of lead. Sinking mortally wounded to his knees, Bieber warns his assassin that they will never achieve their ghoulish goal. The audacious villains out have targeted the "world's most beautiful people" for extermination. The Bieb takes a selfie, draws his last breath, and dies with a goofy ‘Blue Steel’ expression. Special Agent Valentina Valencia (Penélope Cruz of “Bandidas”) and the Interpol Global Fashion Division launch a search for Derek Zoolander. Zoolander, it seems, made ‘Blue Steel’ his signature expression. At this point, director Ben Stiller and his three scribes pull off something impressive for any sequel. Not only do they seamlessly bridge a 15 year gap with the original, they also concoct a

new adventure for our heroes. We are treated to a timeline of the calamities that has transformed Derek Zoolander’s life into a nightmare. “Zoolander 2” picks up with news about the destruction of the Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too. Derek’s wife Matilda (Christine Taylor of “The Wedding Singer”) died when the center collapsed on her because it was constructed of Popsicle sticks and glue. Later, Derek proves himself an unfit father, and Child Services rescue Zoolander’s son Derek Jr., and takes him into protective custody. The loss of his son came about when a neighbor caught Zoolander on video trying to figure out how to cook spaghetti. Tearfully, Derek retires once again from modeling, labels himself "a hermit crab," and withdraws to a cabin in "extreme northern New Jersey," where he grows a billy goat beard. Meantime, Hansel has suffered, too. The tragic Zoolander Center collapse left him with an unspeakable scar across his right cheek that terrifies Derek when he finally gets a glimpse of it. Let’s not forget Zoolander’s nemesis, clownishly coiffed clothing designer Jacobim Mugatu (Will Ferrell of “Stepbrothers”), who returns to incite greater anarchy for Derek and Hansel. Mind you, the authorities handed the wicked Mugatu a stiff prison sentence, and the European Union Fashion Prison, where he serves time, resembles a gargantuan sewing thimble. Mugatu is chained by the neck to a huge pole at the center of a room with a “Silence of the Lambs” vibe to it. Eventually, he overwhelms our harebrained hero and escapes. Ultimately, Hansel reconciles his differences with Zoolander, and they set out to track down the elusive

Mugatu. Along the way, our heroes wind up in Rome after Billy Zane bears them each a message with an invitation from a fashion diva Alexanivya Atoz (Kristen Wiig of “Bridesmaids”), a Donatella Versace knockoff, to attend her show. Long-suffering Derek is reunited with his long, lost son (Cyrus Arnold of “Hardcore Harry”) at a Roman orphanage. Initially, Derek doesn’t recognize junior because the younger Derek is obese. Naturally, Derek and Hansel are still as ‘dumb and dumber’ as they were in “Zoolander.” They have no idea what they have gotten themselves into when they arrive in Rome. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson haven’t lost their charismatic camaraderie, and they surpass themselves as the super-simpletons. The evil Mugatu remains as monstrous as usual, but this time he cradles a stuffed doggie rather than the real thing. Will Ferrell looks as absurdly ridiculous as he was in “Zoolander,” and he overshadows everybody with

his hilarious antics. The scene where Ferrell keeps tearing off disguises generates non-stop laughter. Spanish-born beauty Penélope Cruz appears sexy in a swimsuit when she saves Derek’s life. Some of the “Zoolander 2” gags are genuinely imaginative. When Zane brings Derek a message at the beginning, the message comes in a box that projects a hologram of Alexanya as she addresses Derek. Of course, this is reminiscent of the original “Star Wars” when R2D2 displayed a hologram of Princess Leia. Stiller staged the snappy PG-13 exercises in hilarity on location in and around the Eternal City, and Rome, Italy, has never looked more exotic thanks to “Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens” lenser Daniel Mindel’s dazzling widescreen cinematography. As expected, Leesa Evans’ costume designs are appropriately outlandish to suit the occasion. Anybody who laughed themselves silly at the first “Zoolander” should enjoy “Zoolander 2.”

6 COMMON MYTHS ABOUT PET ALLERGIES

ccording to The Humane Society, 62 percent of American households have at least one pet. Yet, an estimated 31 million Americans are allergic to animals, including up to 30 percent of those who have asthma. Here’s what you should know about pet allergies: Myth 1: It’s only pet hair that causes allergies to flare up. Not true. Pet hair causes allergies, as it contains saliva or other pet proteins. Allergic reactions to pets are actually caused by pet proteins contained in pet dander, such as microscopic skin flakes, saliva and urine. Myth 2: Continuous exposure to animals will eventually desensitize you to them. Not only is this not true, but in some cases the opposite is true. If you have a confirmed allergy to animals, it usually will not get better through increasing exposure. In fact, it may get worse. Myth 3: With the right pet breed, allergy problems go away. Not true. All cat or dog breeds produce dander. However, some breeds are believed to be better for allergy sufferers than other breeds. Typically the best breeds are those that shed the least fur and/or are the most frequently bathed. Myth 4: Small animals are not a problem for allergies. Wrong. Hamsters, guinea pigs, birds and other warm-blooded mammals can also trigger asthma and allergies in people with allergies to animal dander. Myth 5: Outside the home, you shouldn’t have pet allergies. Not necessarily. Because of their microscopic size and jagged shape, pet allergens easily stick to clothing and other fabrics and are carried to other locations. Animal dander can be found in many public places such as the workplace, classrooms and hospitals. Myth 6: An air purifier will help with pet allergies.It depends on the air purifier. Only a high-performance air purifier can help. Some allergy sufferers report that small, low-quality air cleaners make little or no difference at all. However, many allergy sufferers report that their IQAir air purifier, in combination with improved cleaning methods, has reduced or completely eliminated their allergic reactions to pets in their homes.

BARNEY // HAPPY, FRIENDLY Meet Barney, a 2-year-old male Shepherd/Terrier mix. Barney has a thick brown and black coat. He’s a medium-sized dog, weighing about 30 pounds, and this is fullgrown. Barney was pulled from our local animal shelter, where he was picked up as a stray and no one came to claim the poor boy after over a month of being there. Barney is a very sweet, friendly, happy dog! Barney can be a little shy at first but quickly warms up. He loves to play and should make a great family dog. Barney would be okay in an apartment, but only if he got daily walks. He will require a fenced in yard if left outside any unattended. Barney seems to do well with other dogs and should be fine with children 6 and older. We have started on his crate training. Barney is up to date on his vet care, neutered, heartworm negative and microchipped. He is on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. Let’s find this sweet fellow a wonderful new home, how about yours??!!

DIZ // CUDDLE BUDDY Meet Diz! She is a gorgeous gray tabby that is about 8 months old (as of 2/5/16). Diz is very playful and loves to cuddle. She is known as the cuddle bug at the cat house! Diz would do well as a companion cat if you have other cats. Diz is negative for FIV and FeLK, current on vaccinations and spayed. This sweet girl is hoping for her furever home soon! If you are interested in giving BARNEY or DIZ the forever home they want and deserve, visit the Humane Society of West Alabama at http://www.humanesocietyofwa.org or call us at (205)-5540011.

>>> HOROSCOPES | W E E K L Y O V E R V I E W Are you feeling put upon? If so, this week's alignment encourages you to be more assertive. Let someone know that you won't put up with their domineering ways. It can go a long way toward relieving pressure. If you're ready for a serious talk, it can help bring about a positive solution. Networking and socializing with other professionals or those in your business can be very helpful. Think carefully about the relevance of your long-term goals once the Sun enters Pisces on Thursday. You'll begin to feel lighter, brighter, and more excited about your future when Venus enters your zone of adventure and opportunity. Over the coming weeks you'll have an excellent opportunity to explore ideas that truly fascinate you. Travel plans could be on the menu, too! The Sun's move into Pisces and your zone of goals and ambitions could see you looking to make progress. And if you're passionate enough about your ideas, the next four weeks could see you storming ahead. Creative drives are still strong, with a positive alignment encouraging you to think big and act on your hunches. While the results may be some time in coming, they'll be well worth your effort. The focus continues on your zone of shared resources as Venus dances in to join Mercury. This is an opportunity to get your finances organized by gathering information and making astute decisions. Avoid doing too much splurging if you can! Finally, fresh opportunities and adventures await you, starting Thursday.

Relationships continue to be in focus, with opportunities to make key changes where necessary. If you're aware of any issues that need sorting out, this is one of the better times to discuss the situation and see what solutions you can come up with. It's better to do this now than to ignore any problems and have them resurface later when it could be harder to resolve them. As of Thursday it's time to take stock of what you value most concerning a very close bond. You may want to try your hand at a different diet, new form of exercise like spinning or Pilates, or perhaps a soothing treatment that can ease away knots and tension. Anything that can enhance vitality and leave you feeling really good is worth a try - and you'll make a lot of new friends in the process. Once the Sun dances into your relationship sector on Thursday you may be inclined to compromise rather than insist on getting your own way in key matters. This is the time to showcase your skills and abilities, as Venus, your personal planet, enters your creativity sector. It will be in one of the most self-expressive places in your solar chart, so don't hold back from displaying your impressive talents. Someone watching may be bowled over. You could begin to review your habits a little more critically as the Sun dances into your zone of lifestyle and work on Thursday. It might result in a few important changes. Mars continues in your sign and links to expansive Jupiter, so you could get a boost from connecting with friends who share your interests. If you have an opportunity to collaborate on a project you're passionate about, this is the time to go for it. Or joining a group or club could prove fascinating and liberating, too. The Sun's move into Pisces and your creative sector encourages you to explore your abilities, but it might also entice you to initiate a romantic liaison. While Saturn's presence in your sign can keep your focus on responsibilities and personal goals, the move of Venus into your communication sector adds a more sociable note to the weeks ahead. You'll find that networking can provide useful information that helps you get through your workload more quickly. This is very much the time to reach out. If you've been thinking about starting an online business, you might now be motivated to consider this in more depth. Issues of self-worth, along with money matters, may show up for you as Venus moves into your zone of personal finances and values. Are you charging enough for the work you do? In what areas of life do you feel shortchanged? These are questions that it might help to ask over the coming week or so. Saturn's presence in your psychological sector might cause you to dwell on past failures when it would be better to focus instead on your successes and so enhance your self-esteem. As Venus dances into Aquarius you might want to pay more attention to your image, perhaps by trying new clothes or getting a makeover. Also, it's an opportunity to reach out, network, and make new friends whether online or off. With Mercury also in your sign, use this chance to share ideas and plans that are meaningful to you and rustle up some support. Keep an eye on money matters, especially spending, once the Sun dances into your personal financial sector.

Venus joins Mercury in your spiritual sector early this week, which can see you reaching out to help others. If a friend is going through a hard time, then you'll be there to listen and offer up advice.

UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA WOMEN’S WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL READY FOR COMPETITION | Amanda Perrucci

he University of Alabama Women’s wheelchair basketball team traveled to the University of Illinois on February 12-13 for games against University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and University of Illinois. The Tide lost to Illinois 60-54 on Friday night, rebounded for a big win against Whitewater, 53-22, but lost again to Illinois Saturday evening, 56-47. The first game Friday night ended in a loss for the women’s team. Both number 3 and number 24 for the Illinois squad had 20 or more points each to give Illinois the edge over Alabama. Although the team did not get the W on Friday night, they battled Illinois with positivity and determination. Freshman, Arinn Young, put up a total of 33 points for the Tide with assists from McDermott, Jacques and Sales. The game against Whitewater Saturday morning was total domination for the Tide. Darda Sales, Karina Keck and Arinn Young led the team with points. Sales had 12 points, Karina scored 10 points and Arinn had a total

of 17 points. The team took control of the court with rebounds, assists and baskets. Finishing the tournament with another loss against Illinois, the Tide women were not discouraged. “We had a couple tough losses but as a team, we played some of the best games we’ve had this season. We just unfortunately didn’t come out on the winning end on two of those games, but we maintained a high energy and positivity throughout all three games. The two losses have just fired us up to beat Illinois on our home court in a couple weeks,” said junior, Savannah Gardner. The women’s next tournament will be at home at the University of Alabama where the Tide will have another shot at beating University of Illinois and also play University of Texas at Arlington and University of Arizona. The tournament will be part of “The Night of Champions” event on February 25 and 26.

CRIMSON TIDE MEN’S WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL SHOWS PROGRESS IN ILLINOIS | Benjamin Clark

his past weekend, the University of Alabama’s Men’s wheelchair basketball team travelled to Champaign, Illinois, to compete in a tournament hosted by the University of Illinois. Alabama (13-6) split the weekend series, 2-2. While the results may not be exactly what the Crimson Tide wanted, they did see some positives moving forward. “We found our edge this weekend,” Freshman Michael Auprince said. “As a team, we found us as a whole, rather than worry about the external factors. We got back to the basics and played Alabama basketball. We put ourselves in a great position for success moving forward....... and other teams should be scared.” On day one, Alabama started off the tournament with a win, defeating Edinboro 51-34. After falling behind at the very beginning, the Crimson Tide recovered, scoring eight straight points and taking the lead with 16:11 left in the first half. After that mark, they never lost the lead again. Alabama outrebounded the Fighting Scots 32-19, which played a huge factor in the win. However, game two played out differently this time in the rematch from one match ago against Missouri.

FEBRUARY 18 + MARCH 3

The Tigers defeated the Crimson Tide 45-39, led by Marshall Lindsay’s 14 points. For Alabama, the loss did have a bright spot. Junior DQ Robinson led the team with 15 points, after missing the previous weekends games due to illness. Along with Robinson, Auprince added 10 points. The weekend did show a different side of the team that was promising, according to Senior Jannik Blair. “The difference this weekend from the two previous weekends is that we lacked confidence and the ability to finish, overall not looking like ourselves,” Blair said. “This weekend, those moments were few and far between and we in large replaced that with how we play basketball, which we know is good enough to beat anyone in the division.” The “Alabama” style of play was evident in game three on Saturday, as Alabama defeated Illinois 54-37 in a rematch of their two point loss from January. Fully healed Robinson led all scorers with 18 points, followed closely behind with Auprince’s 15 points. The Illini kept it close at the half, only down 16-22, but the second half established the team that Blair spoke of. However, Wisconsin Whitewater

proved again to be the permanent thorn in Alabama’s side. The Crimson Tide wrapped up their trip to Illinois with a 52-72 loss to the Warhawks. The Auprince (30 points) led attack gave the Crimson Tide a lot to be excited for, while the defense came up just a little short trying to stop Bisnett (25 points) and Fischbach. (18 points) Despite the finish, Coach Ford Burttram found a lot of positives looking

forward to their next tournament, which Alabama will host in Foster Auditorium on February 26. “As a team, we are in a good place mentally,” Burttram said. “We’ve made it through the real grinding part of the season with a chance to get everyone healthy. A few weeks at home will be nice before hitting the road to Nationals to end the season on a positive note.”

Gehrig Dieter Will Join Crimson Tide This Summer

ider Insider's Rodney Orr spoke to Derek Dieter, the father of Bowling Green WR Gehrig Dieter, who announced via Twitter his plans to transfer to Alabama. As a graduate transfer, the 6-3 1/2, 210-pound Dieter will be eligible for the 2016 season. He plans to arrive at UA in late May to begin the summer program. "I don't know who's more excited, me and his mom, or him," Derek Dieter says. "It's just a phenomenal opportunity for him." "He's always been an extremely hard worker and has always been focused on football. So this is the perfect opportunity. When you have that (mindset) you want to play for the best. He couldn't be more excited. We're really looking forward to watching him play for Alabama." Dieter was a Parade AA coming out of South Bend, IN. He spent his freshman season in 2012 at SMU. He played in five games that season. He transferred to Bowling Green, where last season he caught 94 passes for 1,033 yards and 10 touchdowns. Dieter was one of only five receivers in the nation last season to have 90+ receptions and over 1,000 yards receiving and at least 10 TDs. As a high school star in South Bend, Dieter set the national HS record with 437 yards receiving in a single game. The record has since been broken. Dieter also became the first HS receiver nationally to post three consecutive 300+ yard receiving games. Against Tennessee last season, Dieter had seven catches for 133 yards and a touchdown. Dieter's two brothers attend Bowling Green. His father is a huge New York Yankees fan. So it's no surprise that Gehrig was named after Lou Gehrig. Gehrig's brother, Nolan, was named after former MLB pitcher Nolan Ryan. And his brother, Thurman, was named after former Yankee catcher Thurman Munson. Dieter and his family will visit Alabama this weekend.

SABAN HIRES SECONDARY COACH Derrick Ansley Will Coach Defensive Backs at Alabama

UK ATHLETICS (BRITNEY MCINTOSH)

WR PLANS TRANSFER TO ALABAMA

niversity of Alabama head coach Nick Saban announced the hiring of Derrick Ansley last week to coach the defensive backs for the Crimson Tide. Ansley spent the past three seasons at the University of Kentucky as the cornerbacks coach (2013-14), secondary coach (2015) and was recently promoted to co-defensive coordinator for the 2016 season before accepting the position with the Crimson Tide. "We are very happy to have Derrick and his family back at Alabama," Saban said. "Derrick did an outstanding job when he was with us as a graduate assistant, and he has a very good understanding of how we run our program and what is expected. He is a bright young coach, and he will be a great addition working with the defensive backs. We also believe he will be a tremendous asset to our staff in the recruiting process." Ansley, who served as a defensive graduate assistant at Alabama during the 2010 and 2011 seasons, helped the UK defense record a school-record six defensive touchdowns while creating 23 turnovers that ranked second in the SEC in 2015. He joined the Wildcats' staff after spending the 2012 season as the defensive backs coach at Tennessee where he helped the Volunteers improve their national ranking in interceptions by 30 places. He came to UT in February of 2012 after accepting the position of defensive backs coach at Central Florida in December of 2011. "I have incredible admiration for The University of Alabama and the organization Coach Saban has built, especially after spending a couple of seasons here as a graduate assistant, which was instrumental in my development as a coach. I am so appreciative of the opportunity Coach Saban is giving me because as a defensive coach it doesn't get any better. Having grown up in the state of Alabama, I also have a tremendous understanding of the tradition and history of Crimson Tide football and what a special place it is to work. I look forward to doing my part to help continue the success this program has enjoyed." Ansley's two seasons in Tuscaloosa saw Alabama produce at 22-4 record and the 2011 BCS National Championship. The Crimson Tide went 10-3 in his first season at the Capstone, punctuated by a win over Michigan State in the Capital One Bowl over Michigan State. The Tide went 12-1 to claim the national championship in 2011, featuring the nation's best defense, which ranked No. 1 nationally in scoring defense, total defense, pass defense and pass efficiency defense. He worked with All-Americans Mark Barron, Dre Kirkpatrick and DeQuan Menzie during his time at Alabama. He spent five seasons coaching at NCAA Division III Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Ala., before taking the graduate assistant position at Alabama. During his tenure with the Hawks, Ansley helped guide the team to its first winning season and the school's first playoff appearance. Huntingdon produced a winning record in four of the five seasons he was on staff with two eight-win campaigns. Ansley starred on the gridiron at Troy University in the early 2000s, starting 40 consecutive games for the Trojans. A defensive back by trade, he finished third in the nation in interceptions as a junior in 2003 with nine picks. Ansley then garnered first team All-Sun Belt Conference honors as a senior in 2004, Troy's first season in the league. He graduated in 2005 from Troy with a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism and worked toward a master's degree in sports management in the human environmental sciences college during his time as a graduate assistant at Alabama. A native of Tallassee, Ala., Ansley and his wife Alaea have a daughter, Selena. *UA Media Relations
