But the Orange talent search had expanded to a coast-to-coast effort to persuade stars to spend their winters in Syracuse.

Such stars spend most of their energy-producing life span as a main sequence star.

Two executives said that even five years ago a rap album by a newcomer could be made for $75,000, while an established star might spend $500,000.

Here's a look at which stars are awaiting a visit from the stork and spending their hot August days on baby-watch.

The British star has spent three years ruffling feathers in Hollywood by making barbs about some of its stars.

The three stars had previously spent some time in the local drag scene while researching their roles.

With a mass of 1.8 times that of the Sun, the star spent its main-sequence life as an A-type star.

More massive stars spend an extended time on the horizontal branch and show a larger increase in temperature as they burn helium in the core.

Evolution towards the red giant branch for the first time is very rapid while stars can spend much longer on the horizontal branch.

As the star spends only about 1% of its total lifetime as a red giant, this is an accurate method of determining age.
