 		[UPDATE] New Sentinel article 22 April -Joya Barfs
The Sentinel wrote:
Joya Pregnant?
By JULIUS LOMAN

Speculation is growing that singer Joya may be pregnant, after she was widely pictured vomiting in trendy eatery Elise's Place last week. The singer has also abruptly cancelled a string of intimate club performances scheduled over the next four weeks, allegedly in preparation for her June wedding to producer Horace Shockley.

"If I were in her situation, I would still feel I owed it to my fans to follow through on my commitments," said rival diva Satine Noir. "It's really disrespectful to the people who have brought her to where she is [to] just drop them like that." Noir has made candid and strongly phrased statements about Joya and her treatment of both her fans and their shared ex-boyfriend Alejo Jackson on numerous occasions.

This follows on the heels of this weekend's reported comments by Joya's stylist, Skylar Poplin. Witnesses say the stylist regaled a rapt audience at the Artist's Quarter nightspot Doldrums with how he had to let out the seams in some of her hallmark garments, and was seriously contemplating a change to looser, more flowing garb.

Sentinel medical advisor Dr. Stuart Ivanovitch agreed that weight gain and public vomiting could be a sign of early pregnancy. "It's easy to jump to conclusions," said Ivanovitch. "Really, though, she could just be suffering from nerves. We all know she has had a very difficult few months."

Joya's personal physician, Dr. Ian Copeland, denied requests for interviews, stating simply, "Joya's health is not a matter for public attention at this time."

Joya's publicist said she had not heard about the incident and could not comment.


Not sure what to say about this one really...think it speaks for itself. Certainly lowers the toone of the higly respectable Sentinel...it's turning into Heat!

 		It's been pointed out before that Sentinel stories often mirror earth events. This one is presumably Britney Spears's pregnancy.

funny that - it also made me think about the story i heard on Xfm this am about Liam Gallagher puking on Hells Kitchen Smile possibly this story is a combination of both

well anyway, it doesn't really seem like there are many clues in this article to anything game-related (by 'game', i mean the search for the cube). how would you classify an article like this? Its kind-of IGOOG (In Game but Out Of Game)

Me, I found it interesting to see a PPC resident urging people to not just jump to conclusions....[/bitching]

EDIT: Oh, and Horace Shockley could be a reference to William Shockley (transistors + also a bit of a b*stard) in the same way that many of these names seem to be.

 		The only part that I thought might be relevant was the name of the rival diva. Her surname is Noir, one of the names from the Academy Logo. Could be a relative, maybe Grand-daughter or great grand-daughter?

I think we should store this info for future ref. You never know when little snippets like this could come in handy.

 		Logo is Noi, not Noir...but I'm sure I recognise her name from something. It involved vampires and was completely OOG

Noir
1. Of or relating to the film noir genre.
2. A genre of crime literature featuring tough, cynical characters and bleak settings.
3. Suggestive of danger or violence.

So the fact that you saw it in a vampire setting is understandable, but I think it would possibly be too easy to read anything into the name at this stage.

 		Satine Noir is 'black satin' in French, basically. Not sure that it's really relevant. But appropriately diva-esque Wink
