How old is Dick Clark ? Watch Video

Dick Clark whose actual name is Richard Wagstaff "Dick" Clark (born November 30, 1929) is an American businessman; game-show host; and radio and television personality. He served as chairman and chief executive officer of Dick Clark Productions, which he has sold part of in recent years.

He is best known for hosting long-running television shows
such as American Bandstand, five versions of the game show Pyramid, and Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve.

Clark has long been known for his departing catchphrase, "For now, Dick Clark...so long," delivered with a military salute, and for his youthful appearance, earning the moniker "America's Oldest Teenager", until he had a stroke in late 2004.

With some speech ability still impaired, Clark returned to his New Year's Rockin' Eve show on December 31, 2005/January 1, 2006. Subsequently, he has appeared at the Emmy Awards
on August 27, 2006, and every New Year's Rockin' Eve show since then.

On November 30, 2009, disc jockeys throughout the nation paid tribute to Clark on his 80th birthday.

Because he was born in 1929, that makes him 80 years young!

2010 New Year from Times Square Live Ball Drop

For those who were in Times Square to see in the 2010 New Year, the thing that you would have been waiting to see was the live ball drop. We have embedded a video of this happening below, just for those who did not get a chance to see this once a year event.

This is one of the most popular traditions in New York, as it counts down the final minute of the current year and usher in the new one. There is always so much noise in Times Square on New Year’s Eve, but all voices are joined in unison as the final seconds are counted down.

The ball is made of crystal and electric lights and is raised on a pole on top of the One Times Square building. The ball then descends 77 feet during the final minute and then comes to rest at its base at 12:00 am. According to Wikipedia, up to one million people attend the Times Square party, but it is estimated than more than one billion people watch the event either online or on TV.

Happy New Year from all at Only Kent.

Happy New Year greeting message for Tiger Woods: AT&T latest sponsor to dump golfer

The telecommunications giant severed its endorsement relationship with the embattled golf great on December 31, according to the Associated Press, assuring Woods a rather unhappy New Year's Eve.

“We are ending our sponsorship agreement with Tiger Woods and wish him well in the future,” an AT&T spokesperson said, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Host-less? Woods has not been a mainstay of AT&T’s advertising strategy, but he sports the firm’s logo on his golf bag and has hosted the AT&T National PGA Tour event since its 2007 inception. In 2009, Woods signed a multiyear deal with the company, which will reportedly continue to sponsor the PGA tourney.

The AT&T National Web site continues to showcase Tiger Woods as the host of the event, scheduled to occur in Philadelphia from June 29 through July 4, 2010.

And now a word from our ex-sponsors. AT&T is only the latest sponsor to distance itself from the top-ranked golfer, who is on an indefinite hiatus from golf since his infamous November 27 car crash and ensuing allegations of serial infidelity.

Global consulting firm, Accenture, pitched the golfer into the rough two weeks ago, while Boston-based Gillette announced it would stop using Woods in its razor commercials. Tag Heuer has said it would limit the use of Tiger’s image in ads for its high-end Swiss watches.

Nike and Electronic Arts (marketers of EA Sports’ Tiger Woods PGA Tour series of video games) are standing with Woods for now.
