Celebrations end with start of Lent
Bathed in springlike warmth and showered with trinkets, beads and music, New Orleans reveled in the excesses of Fat Tuesday. The drinking was in full swing shortly after dawn, and with it came outrageous costumes and flesh-flashing that drew thousands to the Quarter.
Streams of people poured into the French Quarter as the sun began to set Tuesday to continue the party that began earlier along the city's traditional Garden District family-friendly parade route which follows stately St. Charles Avenue.

NEW ORLEANS — Officers on horseback cleared Bourbon Street early Wednesday, declaring an end to Carnival 2012 in New Orleans as Mardi Gras revellers began to prepare for the beginning of Lent, the period of fasting and repentance before Easter.

Allison, to the French Quarter. "I'm the pink fairy this year," he said. "Costuming is the real fun of Mardi Gras. I'm not too creative but when you weigh 200 pounds and put on a tutu people still take your picture."
Costumes were the order of the day, ranging from the predictable to the bizarre.
His wife was not in costume,
"He's disgraced the family enough," she said.

WHALE'S TALE
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES
"YIKES!!!!!!!!!" That's how Chris Brown, 22, tagged his remix of "Turn Up the Music," one of two collaborations with ex-girlfriend Rihanna, 24, that the pair intentionally leaked via Twitter on Monday.
LOS ANGELES
Rihanna reunites with Chris Brown
The blogsphere has been on fire since last late week when the two dropped cryptic tweets alluding to a duet. After producers of Rihanna's lusty track "Birthday Cake" tweeted the remix would shock the world, rumors immediately circulated that Rihanna would celebrate her birthday by releasing an extended take of the track featuring Brown's vocals.
GELEBRITY
It was an unlikely collaboration to say the least, considering Brown is currently serving five years' probation for brutally assaulting her three years ago on the eve of the Grammy Awards. But they are back together again, at least on the two songs.
Hip-hop blogger/tastemaker Karen Civil, who unveiled details of the collaboration on her popular, self-titled blog last week, said that given Rihanna's knack for being provocative, the track shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
"I think that it can only help them both at this time," Civil said. "We can't back and
change what's already been done, or recorded and released in this case. Will it hurt Rihanna's career? Perhaps, in the aspect of standing up against domestic violence. However a listener or fan cannot dictate someone's life, and she is entitled to her own decisions."
The controversial songs, which weren't officially released by either artist's label, come on the heels of Brown's performance and win at the 54th Grammy Awards last week.
He became a trending topic on Twitter that evening, as did the phrase "wife beater." There was furor that the Recording Academy they invited the singer to perform twice and rewarded him with the trophy for R&B album. His awkward shuffling onstage demonstrated he hadn't expected the win, and the relative hush of the audience seemed to say, "You should not be here."
"Chris Brown twice? I don't get it. He beat on a girl ... Not cool that we act like that didn't happen," tweeted country music star Miranda Lambert.
The producers were also criticized for giving the singer two performance slots as the academy struggled with how to pay tribute to pop titan Whitney Houston, who passed away on the eve of the telecast.

Beatles ringtones now available for first time
LOS ANGELES - Hello hello?
Beatles fans can now set their cellphones to alert them to incoming calls with "Hello Goodbye," take a call from IT support with "Help!" or signal a call from an angry partner with "We Can Work It Out" as the Fab Four's music has become available for the first time as cellphone ringtones.
The group has licensed ring tones from its 27 U.S. and British No.1 hits, from "Love Me Do" in 1962 through "Hello Goodbye" in 1967 to "The Long and Winding Road" in 1970, replicating the track lineup of the "I" compilation CD, which just surpassed 12 million copies sold in the U.S. since its release in 2000.
The 30-second ringtones, also downloadable to iPads and iTouches, are available exclusively through iTunes for $1.29 each — the same amount charged for downloading the entire song.
It's the latest incursion of the group's music into the digital realm after long being withheld from legal downloading. That ended just over one year ago, when the group's catalog was posted on iTunes in November 2010.
Because only the No. 1 hits are available now, it looks like we'll have to wait for the next round of ringtones for hopes of getting that wake-up call to "Good Morning, Good Morning" or "Good Day Sunshine," a cellular sign-off in the evening with "Good Night" or a warning to unknown call numbers coming in at dinnertime. "Don't Bother Me."

Martina McBride set to release new album
Country music veteran Martina McBride, 11 albums deep into her career, says she's starting over. She's representing this through her latest album, "Eleven."
"I'm definitely surrounding myself with new energy and new ideas, and thinking outside the box musically and professionally," says McBride.
One element of her starting over was recording "Eleven" on a different label, Republic Nashville, after her long, successful run with RCA Records.
"I was there for 18 years, and this was the first opportunity I had to pursue another record label," McBride says. "I owed it to myself to look around and see what's out there."
McBride also says she got out of her comfort zone by delving deep into songwriting for the first time. It's something she always wanted to do.
"I quit putting it off _ quit procrastinating. I got all the kids in school and devoted time to see what happened if I dedicated myself to this," says McBride, who as a result was able to come up with something more personal.
"It was liberating to be able to write what I'm feeling. The challenge is just getting over being intimidated. I'm the person who I do something. I want to do it well."
Her new freedom and confidence also led to a new album on which she was able to play around with different sounds. Though she clearly released a country music album, she also experimented a bit with R&B and island-flavored songs on "Eleven." She also recorded outside Nashville for the first time.
With that, McBride says, she was able to "make music without the distraction of daily life."
