BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA - The 82nd 2010 Annual Academy Awards (Oscars) will be telecast globally on Sunday, March 7, 2010, and will be co-hosted by actors Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin. The 2010 Academy Awards will be broadcast live by the ABC Television Network and presented from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, California. For actor-comedian Steve Martin, the 82nd Awards will be his third time acting as the host, as he presented the 73rd and 75th shows previously. It will be Alec Baldwin's first time as host of the Awards, and Baldwin said last November at the time of his appointment, "I don't play the banjo but I'm thrilled to be hosting the Oscars - its the opportunity of a lifetime." Steve Martin said very humorously about his 2010 Oscars co-host opportunity with Baldwin,"I am happy to co-host the Oscars with my enemy Alec Baldwin." Alec Baldwin's reference to not playing the banjo was because co-host Steve Martin has been touring with his band Steep Canyon Rangers supporting his recent album "The Crow: New Songs For The Five String Banjo." In 2001 Martin earned a Grammy in the Best Country Instrumental Performance category. Alec Baldwin currently stars in the comedy series "30 Rock" and has won two Emmys (2008 and 2009) for his performances on that show. In 2003, Baldwin was himself nominated for an Academy Award for his supporting role in the movie "The Cooler". This year theirEarth Fashion will again cover the red carpet appearances and photo opportunities at the 2010 82nd Academy Awards, courtesy of our media relationship with the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, organizers and presenters of the Oscars.

VALENCIA, SPAIN - Michael Schumacher, the incredible seven-time F1 World Champion is returning to Formula 1 this year after a three year absence, and many F1 fans are eager to watch him race his first race in the season opener in Bahrain on March 14, 2010. Schumacher will be driving car No. 3 for the Mercedes GP Petronas Formula One Team, and last week in Valenicia he had his first opportunity to test the balance, handling, and motor dynamics of the new Mercedes GP Petronas MGP W01 car. Schumacher, who is 40 and was born in Hurth-Hermulheim, Germany, will race for Mercedes GP Petronas along side his talented teammate, 24-year old Nico Rosberg, and also a native of Germany. Nick Heidfeld, who raced last year for the BMW Sauber F1 Team, will be the Mercedes GP Petronas team's Reserve Race Driver and Test Driver for the 2010 season. Prior to the first race in Bahrain, Formula 1 teams will only be allowed to conduct team assigned driver testing of their cars during four official sessions: Valencia, 1-3 February, Jerez 10-13 Ferbruary, Jerez 17-20 February, and Barcelona 25-28 February. Last week in Spain, Michael Schumacher showed he was very much on the pace with the third fastest time of all teams during the final day of testing at the Valencia circuit with a fastest lap of 1m 12.438. Taking a closer look ar the new Mercedes GP Petronas F1 car (code named MGP W01), the main monocoque is constructed of moulded carbon fibre with honeycomb composite used in areas where additional rigidity and strength are required. The suspension is Wishbone type with pushrod activated torsion springs and rockers, and road surface damping is provide by Sachs. For the wheelset, the rims are from the supplier BBS and made of forged magnesium. The tires are Bridgestone Potenza F1's for in both dry and rain condition treads. The brake friction material is carbon for both the pads and the four-wheel discs. To negotiate turns, the Mercedes GP Petronas car has power assisted rack and pinion steering and a custom carbon fibre steering wheel. When Schumacher negotiates each braking zone, corner exit, or straightaway in the Mercedes, he will do so using a seven-speed hydraulically activated semi-automatic gear box with the gearbox's outer main casing constructed of carbon composite, and utilising a carbon clutch plate for engagement. The Mercedes GP Petronas F1 car's engine is a Mercedes-Benz 2.4-litre 8-cylinder and is code named F0 108X. The Mercedes-Benz F1 engine can rev up to a maximum 18,000 rpm (per maximum FIA regulations), and it has been designed to be exactly on the minimum FIA weight requirement of 95 kg (209 lbs). The engine has 32-valves for breathing and two banks of 4 cylinders are opposed in a 90 degree arrangememt with piston bore at 98 mm (per maximum allowed FIA regulation). In last week's Valencia testing, Michael Schumacher had the following to say about the new Mercedes GP Petronas F1 car, "It was a perfect rollout for the new car today. I felt totally comfortable and really had a feeling that everything was very natural. It felt just like at the very beginning of my career in 1991 when on the first lap, I thought ‘wow that was really fast’ and then on the second lap, I was just extremely excited. I feel like a young boy again and really enjoyed myself out there."
