Facebook Tries to Patent "Face"

Facebook recently made headlines for going after teachers' networking site Teachbook for trademark infringement, claiming that anything "--book" and social networking infringes its mark. If it didn't enforce, said Facebook, then "--book" would become generic for social networking.

Not satisfied with defending the second syllable of its trademark, Facebook is now trying to patent its first Face reports the Chicago Tribune. But Facebook is being opposed in that effort by Aaron Greenspan, a former classmate of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Greenspan developed a mobile payment application called FaceCash.

The Rolling Stones To Retire After Farewell Tour?

The Rolling Stones' next tour will reportedly be the band's last - the veteran rockers are said to be eyeing retirement after one final trek.

The legendary group is set to conclude a career of more than 50 years on the stage with a series of stadium concerts across the world, which will mark their final live shows together, according to Britain's The Sun.

The newspaper reports the musicians are in talks with executives at concert promotion company Live Nation to put on the gigs next year.

A source tells the publication, "They're likely to perform in stadiums. It's almost certainly the last full-scale world tour. The band realizes that age is creeping up on them. They want to bow out on top of their game, and not short-change fans."

The Gimme Shelter hitmakers previously launched a 'farewell' trek in 1971, before they relocated from their native Britain for tax purposes, and they gave up touring for eight years between 1982 and 1990.

Lindsay Lohan has reportedly been placed in isolation following a 'hysterical fit'

The 24-year-old actress - who started her sentence at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California on Tuesday is said to have broken down in tears, screaming at wardens, forcing them to take her away from other inmates.

Newly-released Cheryl Presser, 43, told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "She is in with the killers and she has only been let out for hour-long breaks, and during those she was locked down to a table.

"On Friday (23.07.10), Lindsay got put on lockdown. While some of us got two hours to go to the yard, or the TV room, Lindsay was on total lockdown.

"She had a hysterical fit, crying and yelling so she got put in isolation."

Another former inmate claimed Lindsay was upset because other prisoners had been poking fun at her by calling her 'Firecrotch', the nickname she was infamously given by oil heir Brandon Davis.

The source said: "She was just sitting in her cell staring straight ahead. Sometimes wailing, but mostly just sitting.

"Some of the inmates in our ward, some of the tougher ones, were yelling 'fire crotch' at her.

"They just started chanting it at her. Lindsay didn't say nothing. She was crying though."

It is believed the actress was briefly admitted to the nearby Lofts medical centre and checked over following the incident.

Cheryl also revealed the 'Mean Girls' star has failed to win over other inmates because her constant crying keeps them awake at night.

She said: "The wards are cold and smelly - they stink. The air conditioning is turned up so high that you can't sleep because of the cold. Inmates try and shove the air vents full of toilet paper to stop the air coming out, but it doesn't work.

"Lindsay would lie there shivering all night, crying and trying to cover her face with her hands. Her wailing was keeping everyone awake."

Lindsay is expected to serve less than 14 days of the 90-day sentence she was given for breaching the terms of probation set for her 2007 driving under the influence (DUI) conviction.
