… Tweddle and Button became world champions within a few hours of each other. Tweddle was first, winning the floor final at the world gymnastic championships at the O2 Arena and proving her all-round credentials in her less-favoured discipline. …

On the other side of the world, in São Paulo, Button clinched the drivers’ championship by finishing fifth in the Brazilian grand prix. …

Jenson Button won’t be happy with making about US$18 million / year. He’s in the middle of serious contract negotiations for much, much more.

Beth?

About £25,000 / year ($41,000) … and a few perks here and there.

… If I was doing this for fame or money I would have retired a long time ago,” Beth Tweddle says coolly as she compares herself to her fellow world champion, Jenson Button. …

Get a glimpse of Cirque du Soleil HQ in a funny video.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

It’s promoting the big OneDrop.org performance art event Friday, October 9th.

disclosure – I love Cirque du Soleil

Cirque du Soleil co-founder Guy Laliberté is orbiting the Earth. He spent $35-million to become only the 7th “tourist” to leave the planet.

Some have criticized him for the extravagence during a global recession.

Personally, I agree with this assessment from the Montreal Gazette:

… Laliberté provides jobs to thousands and pleasure to hundreds of thousands, and got rich in the process. Now he is spending some of his money to have fun. More power to him.

Guy Laliberté slips the surly taunts of critics

Guy has not made a serious mistake in the past. What makes people think this is a blunder?

His space trip is part of a huge campaign to raise awareness of the need to provide clean water to everyone in the world.

The main event is happening this Friday though the specific details are not yet revealed. You can get some hints on what to expect from the OneDrop.org website.

Some of those who will be appearing live:

Actors Matthew McConaughey and Salma Hayek, singers Joss Stone, Elisapie Isaac, Helene Segara, Jean-Jacques Goldman, Michel Fugain, Natasha St Pier, Lorie and Zazie, musical group Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Bolshoi Ballet principal dancer Nicolai Tsiskaridze and poet Touria Ikbal join their voices with previously announced Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, A. R. Rahman, Cirque du Soleil, Claude Challe, Dr. David Suzuki, Fnaire, Frank De Winne, Garou, Gilberto Gil, Gregory Colbert, Jean Lemire, Julie Payette, Maud Fontenoy, Patrick Bruel, Peter Gabriel, Peter Lik, Shakira, Simon Carpentier, Tatuya Ishii, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, Tiffany Speight, U2, Vandana Shiva and Yann Arthus-Bertrand.

PR Newswire

It’s big.

Laliberté has already pledged $100 million for the cause of clean drinking water. This is part of that ongoing campaign.

Genius is almost always artistic. Or mad.

History will remember Guy Laliberté as a genius.

Timing is critical when applying for any new job.

Cirque du Soleil is looking for male gymnasts for a new show directed by a world-renowned director. The show-performed under a big top-will begin in spring 2010 and will afterwards set off on tour.

Selected gymnasts for this role must show excellent skills on the high bar, floor and trampoline. They must also be open artistically (i.e. for acting and dancing)

Now is the time to add your name to their computer database.

One College season he never missed a single routine on pipe.

Since then Nathan has been coaching and performing all over the world. Sea World San Diego. Acrobatic shows on cruise ships. And more.

Coming up is a gig on the world’s largest cruise ship — Royal Caribbean’s $1.2 billion Oasis of the Seas.

… Facilities rival the best on land. The 1,380-seat main theater features a thrust stage, and entertainers perform aerial acrobatics. The AquaTheater pool has a hydraulic floor that reaches nearly 18 feet at its lowest depth and underwater cameras. …

Sounds great!
