Work of art: Naomi Campbell shows off her incredible figure

She's been a supermodel for more than a quarter of a century - and Naomi Campbell showed her still astonishing figure on thecatwalk at a fashion show in Moscow yesterday.
Naomi, who's 41 on May 22 and has been modelling since she was 15, was wearing an unforgiving white and grey all-in-one which made it look like her faultless curves had been painted.
The star was showing off her incredible body in a rare turn down the catwalk for Russian designer Igor Chapurin.

Model behaviour: Naomi Campbell showed off her stunning curves in a skintight catsuit by Russian designer Igor Chapurin in Moscow yesterday Wearing scyscraper platform peeptoe ankle boots with metal stiletto heels, the Amazonian beauty tore through sheets of brightly coloured tissue paper as she made her way down the runway in a walk that turned rather into performance art.

Premier of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey'

Tommy Garcia/Bravo You can pick your friends, but you can’t pick your family. That saying rings truer than ever on the premiere of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” In the first five minutes of the show, viewers will witness a vicious fight at The Manor, a reception hall in West Orange. The fight is not between two women, as is usually the case on this shriekfest, but between a brother and a sister. At a family christening. Histrionic “Housewife” Teresa Giudice comes over to the table where her brother, Joe Gorga, is sitting with his wife, Melissa, and their friends. Before she can utter the word “Congratulations,” Joe, who is two years younger, lashes out at her, calling her “garbage.” A stunned Teresa tries to find out what’s wrong but Joe pounds the table and all of a sudden, it’s a free-for-all. The men are up, shoving each other. The women are braying at each other behind them. Did we mention this takes place at the christening of the Gordas’ newborn, Joey? “I was screaming at the cameras to get out of my son’s christening,” says Melissa, who insists there were no retakes for the sake of the production. “I didn’t sleep for three days. I was devastated.” The “Housewives” franchise thrives on brawls of this kind, slugfests that bring out the worst in everyone, whether they are related or barely know each other. Who can forget the end of season one when Teresa upended a table at another formal occasion and called “Housewife” Danielle Staub a “prostitution whore.” When Melissa Gorga, one of two new “Housewives” this season, watched that moment on the television in her own home, she says, “My husband and I were both gasping for air.” She told her husband, “Now the whole world is going to think you’re crazy as she is. He said, ‘Unbelievable. I can’t believe I have to go work tomorrow.’” The Gorgas, who live in a 15,000 square ft. home in Montville, were not so mortified by Teresa’shistrionics that they turned down the chance to join the show. After all, what better platform for Melissa to launch her career as a singer? “You’re going to see my journey to stardom,” she says. (Let’s hope she sounds better that New York “Housewife” Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, whose single “Money Can’t Buy You Class” was unspeakably dreadful.) In the scenario for this season in New Jersey, which was taped lastfall, it looks like Melissa and Teresa are the enemies. “Melissa is my sister-in-law and we’re not exactly best friends,” Teresa hints ominously to the camera. Says Melissa of her sister-in-law in the first episode, “That bitch will never miss a party, especially if someone else is paying for it.” Since the “Housewife” franchise rewards greater camera time to the women who are the most outrageous, Melissa has a shot atbecoming this season’s breakout star. With statements like “I was always told: be a wife is a cook inthe kitchen, a lady in the parlor and a whore in the bedroom,” she can certainly shock Bravo’s target viewer. She has an ally in her husband’s first cousin, Kathy Wakile, who lives in Wayne, NJ, with her husband, Rich, and their two teenaged children. “I’m very friendly with Kathy,” Melissa says.“We just clicked. She’s a little older than me. I tend to call her for advice.” While Melissa declares to the camera, “I tend to be very spoiled,” Kathy doesn’t self-anoint. In fact, she seems normal: she rides her bike to do grocery shopping and asks her 15-year old son, Joseph, when she finds him playing with knivesin his bedroom, “Why can’t you collect stamps?” Kathy believes the bitterness between Teresa and Joe goes way back. “It’s about not communicating what you’re trulyfeeling when you put those emotions away and you don’t discuss them,” she says. Even with all the drama in the first episode, Kathy defends her family. “We’re very passionate people. We love. We cry. We feel sorry. We get angry,” she says. And sometimes the “Housewives” get in trouble. The new season addresses the Giudices’ filing for bankruptcy (Joe Giudice’s subsequent arrest in March 2011 for fraudulently trying to obtain a state driver’s license happened after production was completed). Still, with an eye to branding herself like Bethenny Frankel, Teresa manages to crank out a cookbook of old family recipes while Joe works in a pizzeria. Fellow “Housewife” Caroline Manzo deals with empty nest syndrome as her two sons, Albertand Christopher, lease an apartment in Hoboken. Jacqueline Laurita, the fifth housewife, has minor parental issues with her daughter Ashley Holmes, an intern for publicist Lizzie Grubman who wants to liveon her own. If they want more camera time, they’d better start fighting — preferably with each other. Out with the old Danielle Staub Staub’s departure was announced at the end of last season. The most toxic of the “Housewives,” Staub spent her time fighting with everyone, especially Teresa Giudice. Dina Manzo The younger sister of “Housewife” Caroline Manzo, Dinaopted to leave the show last season rather than deal with Danielle Staub. In with the new Melissa Gorga Melissa is the sister-in-law of “Housewife” Teresa; she’s married to Teresa’s brother, Joe. The Gorgas live in Montville, NJ, and have three kids: Antonia, 5, Gino, 3, and Joey, 11 months. Kathy Wakile Kathy is the first cousin of “Housewife” Teresa Giudice and Joe Gorga. She and her husband, Rich, live in Wayne, NJ with their children, Victoria, 17, and Joseph,15.

Teresa is no stranger to drama and in addition to running a fantastic mansion of a home with four adorable girls, she refuses to have a nanny, housekeeper or bookkeeper helpher with her daily tasks. Last season her husband had a run-inwith the law and her financial situation was made public. She is the author of a cookbook and is soon to publish her second cookbook devoted to Italian cuisine.
Jacqueline is married to Caroline's brother, Chris. She wasa cosmetologist from Las Vegas, previously married and mother to Ashley who is 20 from the prior marriage.

The two new housewives will surely be a welcome addition as the fans get to know their deep dark secrets, so stay tuned to Bravo!

Fukushima Deadlier than Chernobyl?

How many people died / will die at Chernobyl or Fukushima? Well if you believe a website put up by people who make a living making nuclear power , two Chernobyl plant workers died onthe night of the accident, and a further 28 people died within a few weeks as a result of acute radiation poisoning. “UNSCEAR says that apart from increased thyroid cancers, there is no evidence of a major public health impact attributable to radiation exposure 20 years afterthe accident.”
If you ask the anti-nuclear left, Greenpeace figures a quarter of a million cancer cases and 100,000 fatal cancers, plus another 60,000 deaths in russia and 140,000 in the Ukraine and Belarus because of the accident.
A russian publication “Chernobyl” calculates nearly a million excess deaths occurred to 2004 as a result of radioactive contamination. Chris Busby is a scientist who shows up on 9-11 “truth” conspiracy sites like Veterans Today and Alex Jones’s Infowars, and was interviewed by Al-Jazeera Arabic (you know, the network where everybody left comments cursing our president, and wishing that Bin Laden meet his maker as a lion and a blessed martyr) on his study of the good people of Falluja (the town that gave our Marines such an explosive welcome ) concluding that “”Falluja is Worse Than Hiroshima”. He told Russian Today (another 9-11 truth outlet making a killing on the Japan disasters) that hydrogen explosion at unit 1 was nuclear blast. He figures Chernobyl had killed 1.5 million people and predicts Fukushima’s will be as bad or worse.

Box office update: ‘Thor’ leads Friday with $9.1 mil, ‘Bridesmaids’ celebrates with$7.8 mil

Image Credit: Marvel Studios/Paramount Even with a 64 percent drop fromits victorious debut, the mighty Thor clung to the box-office throne with $9.1 million on Friday, according to early estimates . Compared to other recent Marvel-based movies, the $150 million superhero picture declined more than 2008′s Iron Man , but held upbetter than that year’s The Incredible Hulk and 2009′s X-Men Origins: Wolverine . The god of thunder also dipped less than this year’s other monster hit, FastFive , which plummeted 69 percent on its second Friday. However, it’s highly unlikely that Thor will be able to match Fast Five ‘s cumulative gross, especiallywith next week’s Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides due to engulf the marketplace. Thor should finish the weekend with about $31 million, pushing its two-week total past $115 million. However, the film that’s celebrating the most right now is Bridesmaids , which opened in second to a stronger-than-expected $7.8 million on Friday. That puts the R-rated gross-out female comedy on pacefor a $22 million weekend. The Universal release, which cost a frugal $32.5 million to produce and garnered excellent reviews , stars (and was co-written by) Kristen Wiig as the romantically frustrated maid of honor for her best friend (Maya Rudolph). The week’s other new release, the 3-Dhorror action film Priest , took in amild $5.6 million on Friday. The$60 million movie, starring Paul Bettany as a warrior priest who hunts vampires, should finish theweekend with $14 million. Among holdovers, Fast Five declined 45 percent to earn $5.9 million and passed 2009′s Fast and Furious to become the street-racing franchise’s biggest hit. Assuming it makes around$18 million this weekend, Fast Five will have collected $167 million after three weeks. In fifth place was the Kate Hudson romantic comedy Something Borrowed , which dropped 52 percent for $2.3 million on Friday. As for limited releases, the new Will Ferrell dramedy Everything Must Go grossed a mediocre $220,000 from 218 theaters. The drama Hesher , starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt andNatalie Portman, opened to only$36,000 from 40 locations, and the dance drama Go for It! brought in $35,000 from 218 sitesfor a measly per-theater average of $161. Check back here on Sunday for the complete box office report. 1. Thor — $9.1 mil 2. Bridesmaids — $7.8 mil 3. Fast Five — $5.9 mil 4. Priest — $5.6 mil 5. Something Borrowed — $2.3 mil

Russia redrawing Europe energy map

Things couldn't have been better for Russia's energy giant Gazprom even before news camein over the weekend that curtains could be coming down on one of the keenest battles of the Caspian great game, and Moscow is on a winning streak. The "gas map" of Europe, which was largely drawn in the Soviet era, is poised to undergo a phenomenal change. The great consolidation of Russia's status as the pre-eminent energy supplier - Russia today supplies over 41% of Europe's gas needs - is certain to transform east-westrelations in the medium and long term and will figure as a keyfactor in the United States' trans-Atlanticism.

Penélope Cruz’s Fab Post-Baby Body Secret? Dancing

Since welcoming a son in January, Penélope Cruz has wasted no time getting back her svelte pre-baby figure . But it isn't daily sessions at the gym that's doing the trick — it's actually dancing.

The Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides star, 37, also credits Spanish cooking with helping to shed post-pregnancy pounds after thebirth of her boy, reportedly named Leo . "I love Spanish food. My diet is the Mediterranean diet, which is good food. I eat well, but I try to eat healthy." However, that doesn't mean the new mom denies herself a treat every now and then. She has previously admitted to grabbing food from In-N-Out every once inawhile, including before headingto the red carpet. "I do it, like, once a week or once every two weeks. It's my little treat for myself. I love the Double-Double with fries." TELL US: What's your post-baby weight loss exercise routine of choice?

Werden Pietro Lombardi und Sarah Engels jetzt doch heiraten?

Es ist eine moderne Liebesgeschichte zwischen Pietro Lombardi (18) und Sarah Engels (18) die ihren Anfangbei “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” (kurz “ DSDS ”) genommen hat. Aus unbeholfenen Näherungsversuchen von Pietro, indem er Sarah als “dick” bezeichnete um sie zu necken und ihre Aufmerksamkeit zu gewinnen, entstand Sympathie für einander. Angesichts der turbulenten Zeit und der emotionalen Ereignisse bei DSDS wurden Sarah und Pietro zusammen geschweißt. Die Bindung mündete in wahre Gefühle und schließlich entstand Liebe. Zunächst geheim wurde das Liebesverhältnis bald aber schon öffentlich. Ihre Fans verloren sie damit nicht, ganz im Gegenteil. Sie sammelten als Pärchen sogar zusätzliche Sympathie in der Fangemeinde und in der Presse. Nach dem Ausscheiden von Ardian Bujupi (20) im DSDS-Halbfinale blieb eine einzigartige Final-Runde. Ein Liebespaar im Finale – das gabs noch nie bei “ Deutschland sucht den Superstar ”! Im Finale performten die beiden Turteltauben sehr überzeigend zwei traumhafte Balladen, von denen eine an Symbolik nichts vermissen ließ. Sarah Engels ganzin Weiß und Pietro Lombardi im eleganten Smoking – eine wunderschöne Hochzeitsballade. Bei der anschließenden Bewertung durch die Jury hat derPoptitan Dieter Bohlen (55) höchst persönlich das Angebot gemacht, im Falle einer Hochzeit die Trauringe zu bezahlen. Die Show war perfekt. via http://www.borlife.de/1391-dsds-werden-pietro-lombardi-und-sarah-engels-jetzt-doch-heiraten

Lady Gaga, ‘Judas’ (Hurts Remix) – Song Review

Lady Gaga ‘s controversial hit, ‘Judas,’ has been touched by the hand of Hurts — obviously bringing us the ‘Judas’ (Hurts Remix) we have for you here today. The gothed-out version of Mama Monster’s jaw-dropping tune is complete with synthesizers, as is to be expected from the synth-friendly pop duo from Manchester. We’re not sure how the pair nabbed the big Gaga, gig— but they seem as excited about it as we are. “It’s a true honour to be asked todo the remix for GaGa,” singer Theo Hutchcraft relishes . “We produced it in the middle of our Asian tour — in between the go-go clubs of Kuala Lumpur, themodel-filled skyscraper swimming pools of Singapore and a bloody bar-room brawl in downtown Hong Kong,” he says of the ‘Judas’ remix. “Judas would be proud.” In theory, it would probably be pretty intimidating to mess with an artist who has changed the face of music for, like, ever — kind of like altering a recipe in Paula Deen’s kitchen, if you will. But when you’ve got nothing butgreatness to work with it’s pretty hard to mess it up! We dig Hurts’ take on ‘Judas,’ andthink their spooky additions make the song a fun late-night dance tune … Something you’d find in a dark basement night club, maybe back in the ’80s. In short, we give this guy two thumbs up and four stars. The ‘Judas’ remixes EP drops Monday, May 16, and will also feature blends from R3HAB and Chris Lake.

Eliza Dushku's viral video: Check out the one-take action sequence

Oh hey, Eliza Dushku kicking butt and taking names! The Joss Whedon darling appears in a brandnew viral video by Freddie Wong alongside Jayson Floyd, in which a Wong's "protege" (Floyd) busts out an impressive one-shot action sequence (meaning there's just one camera with one take). Dushku, of course, plays the awesome chick who shows up the tough guy -- a role she's no stranger to. Stunts were done by Action Factory. In an amusing behind-the-scenes video, we see the team scrambling to clean up some dog "dookie" before Elijah shows up. "Normally, we'd be men, and just smell it," they say. "But since she's coming, we've got to clean up." The glamour of filmmaking, ladies and gentlemen.

上原美優さんの自殺で広まったうわさの真偽

12日に東京都目黒区の自宅マンションで首をつって死亡しているのが見つかったタレントの上原美優さんの通夜が14日、葬儀・告別式が15日に営まれることが決まった。

上原さんの家族のショックは計り知れないが、家族と同等かそれ以上にショックを受けていると思われるのが、上原さんが首をつっているのを発見した交際相手のアパレルメーカー社員男性だろう。
「09年12月に写真誌で『ルームメイトの男性と熱愛』と報じられていたお相手と同一人物。勤務先も特定されているので、マスコミ各社が探し出してインタビューしようと必死になっている」(週刊誌記者)
しかし、亡くなる前の10日付の意味深なブログの書き込みであるうわさが広まってしまったのだという。
「10日付のブログでは恋愛の悩みをつづっていたが、『だって今すぐフジテレビの廊下をめっさ叫びながら走り回りたいもん』と書き込まれていた。その日、 同局で仕事をしていたためそう書いたようだが、なぜかここから、『フジテレビの関係者と交際していたのではないか？』といううわさが広まった。上原さんの 自殺の第一報をフジテレビがいち早く流したこともあり、うわさが広まるのに拍車をかけた」(同)

とはいえ、うわさはひとり歩きするもの の、肝心のお相手の人物像はまったく浮かび上がって来ず、「局の外ではその話題で持ちきりかもしれないけど、局内ではそんな話はまったく聞こえて来ない。 もしかしたら、厳重な箝口令が敷かれているのかもしれないが」(フジテレビ関係者)という。

ネット上では某大物お笑いタレントとの関係までうわさになっているだけに、しばらく上原さんの自殺にまつわるうわさは消えそうにない。

Five most famous ex-Mouseketeers

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Long before he played a skinhead in "The Believer," a drug-addicted junior high school teacher in "Half Nelson" or a misfit who's in love with a blow-up doll in "Lars and the Real Girl," Ryan Gosling had a far simpler, more wholesome role. He was a member of "The Mickey Mouse Club."

Back in the early '90s, when he was only 11, Gosling spent a couple years singing and dancing alongside some other performers who would go on to achieve a bit of their own fame. A YouTube search provides video evidence of this: There's Gosling crooning some non-threatening love song (he gets singled out at 1:32), dressed in baggy clothes with way too much product in his hair. (Season 6 opening of "MMC" with Ryan and some other performers you will recognize.)

Now 30, he's considered one of the most intense, fearless actors of his generation, having earned an Oscar nomination for 2006's "Half Nelson" and a Golden Globe nomination for "Blue Valentine" (REVIEW). The raw, heartbreaking drama, which co-stars Gosling and Michelle Williams as a couple whose marriage is collapsing, arrives on DVD this week. But hey, that's as good an opportunity as any to revisit the perky, early careers of the five most famous ex-Mouseketeers:


-- Britney Spears: Famous, infamous ... it's all the same thing when it comes to Britney Spears. Teen pop phenomenon, tabloid queen, twice-divorced mother of two -- well, actually, one of the marriages was annulled after just 55 hours -- there just isn't enough time or space here to discuss the full breadth of Spears' tumultuous career. She's been an international superstar, one of the highest-selling artists in the world, and a total mess. She could have had whatever she wanted, but so often it's seemed as if she couldn't do anything right. Her first starring movie role post-Mouseketeers, "Crossroads," was a joke. But she's redeemed herself somewhat with bit parts on popular TV shows such as "How I Met Your Mother" and "Glee."

-- Justin Timberlake: He can sing. He can dance. He can act. He writes and produces songs and designs clothing. He's bringing sexy back. He dates strong, gorgeous women. He hosts celebrity charity golf tournaments. He even pokes fun at his own pretty-boy image on "Saturday Night Live." Is there anything JT can't do? Timberlake went from "The Mickey Mouse Club" to the boy band 'N Sync to a hugely successful solo career and beyond. Charismatic as hell, he's shown off his own acting skills in films including "Alpha Dog" and "Black Snake Moan," and he's excellent as Napster co-founder Sean Parker in the year's best film (according to yours truly), "The Social Network."

-- Christina Aguilera: Her acting career is a bit more fledgling by comparison. Aguilera made her dubious film debut in this year's cliched campfest "Burlesque" as a small-town girl with big dreams and an even bigger voice. Hey, at least she has the looks to pull off those dramatic, revealing outfits -- and, of course, the pipes to blow away an enormous auditorium. That massive voice has been on formidable display from her earliest days, from "Star Search" and "The Mickey Mouse Club" to multiple Grammy Awards and No. 1 hits. But if we're being honest, her performance in the "Dirrty" video, using her naughty Xtina persona, is her most convincing on-screen work to date.

-- Keri Russell: Even back in 1993, she had that trademark mane of long, gorgeous curls. Long before she became a pop-culture sensation on TV's "Felicity," Russell was a part of the same Mouseketeer cast that launched Spears, Timberlake, Aguilera and Gosling, as well as Timberlake's 'N Sync bandmate JC Chasez. She's gone on to amass an eclectic body of work on television and in film: Beyond J.J. Abrams' "Felicity," which made her a star and earned her a Golden Globe, she's brought her natural beauty and infinite likability to such varied films as "Waitress," "The Upside of Anger," "Mission: Impossible III" and the musical "August Rush."

-- Annette Funicello: The original superstar Mouseketeer, she was the picture of wholesome adorableness during the show's primary run in the 1950s, and she's maintained that sunny persona throughout her life. Just try picturing her without those mouse ears and that sweater with her name emblazoned across the chest. She went on to star in several Disney pictures, including "The Shaggy Dog" and "Babes in Toyland."

Porn Star Bibi Jones on the Howard Stern Show to Promote Digital Playground (PICS)

This morning on the Howard Stern Show, Bibi Jones (not Bebe or Beebe Jones and formerly Britney Beth) was in the studio to promote her debut with Digital Pictures and being featured on the cover of Hustler Magazine in July. Bibi will be appearing in Assassins, a Digital Pictures featured release.

During her interview, it didn’t long for Howard to find out that this girl likes to f*ck. It sounds like she has screwed pretty much everyone. No, not everyone in the porn industry… everyone. If you are reading this and you haven’t had sex with Bibi Jones, you are on a very short list of people. Bibi loves to have sex with random people that she crosses paths with on the street, in her hotel, at school… everyone and anyone.

Bibi told some stories about he she has screwed the likes of the building janitor… in his building, a college professor… in the school, and a manager of a restaurant… in the restaurant while he was on duty. If Bibi wants to have sex with you, there isn’t much you can do about it, you are having sex right there.

Looking at these pics, I can see how it would be somewhat difficult to deny the girl what she wants. Click any thumbnail below to see the full-sized HQ version of the pic. They are all SFW (in theory):

Bibi was very excited to be a contract girl for Digital Playground and described their features like “watching a real movie and then the people start having sex”.

Getting back to the sex… Bibi said she had many a Major League Baseball player on her roster and says they are the best. Howard ran down a list of people to see whether or not she would have sex with them, and again, it was a very short list of guys she wouldn’t. She said she’d love to have a “mustache ride” from Ronnie the Limo Driver and it sounded like she was going to have sex with Gange right after the show.

Modern Warfare 3 Trailer Rolls Out Early Following "Leak"

OMG guys can you believe it? There's actually going to be a Modern Warfare 3! It's coming in 2011 too, because that's what Call of Duty does. It's like Madden, a new version right before the calendar flips each and every year.

There were many rumors posted about the new Call of Duty title over at Kotaku this morning, many of which were quite spoilerific if true including talk of destructible environments and vehicles. Activision reps claim that a a good portion of the so called "leaked" information was inaccurate, but didn't explain much beyond that. They did release a new trailer however, just don't expect a whole lot out of it.

Oh, Kahuna, What Became of That Endless Summer?

CALIFORNIA has fallen on grim economic times, but there was a period not long ago when, in popular culture at least, the Golden State seemed like the best idea America had ever had. In the 1950s and ’60s, even with the Gold Rush a century past, California still had its sand and its sun and its surf to beckon the hopeful westward, and of course it had the movies too, on screens as big — and sometimes as loud — as giant waves. After the gloom and horror of the Second World War and in the midst of the cold war’s nagging anxieties, all those bright blue skies and that warm Pacific water and that clean, soft, shimmery sand looked mighty inviting. “Catch a wave,” the Beach Boys sang, “and you’re be sittin’ on top of the world.” They sounded as if they meant it.

CLASSIC CIA PROPAGANDA - OMAR BIN LADEN

Omar bin Laden (THE BIN LADEN FAMILY /
OSAMA BIN LADEN)

Omar bin Laden claims to be one of the sons of Osama bin Laden.

Omar has written a memoir, with the help of an American called Jean Sasson.

The memoir has the appearance of CIA propaganda.

John R. MacArthur, the publisher of Harper's magazine, has called Jean Sasson "a propagandist for hire." (Bin Laden Figure is not Osama bin Laden)

According to Prof David Ray Griffin, Jean Sasson's 1991 book, The Rape of Kuwait, helped create American support for the US invasion of Iraq. (Bin Laden Figure is not Osama bin Laden)

/ OSAMA BIN LADEN)

Reportedly, from 1991 to 1996, Omar was with Osama in Sudan, and then in 1996 Omar traveled with Osama to Afghanistan.

Reportedly, Omar left Osama and his group in 2000.

Omar now lives in Qatar.

Omar married Zaina, a British grandmother nearly twice his age.

In July 2010, it was reported that Omar had mental problems.

Zaina split with Omar and Omar entered a mental hospital.

/ OSAMA BIN LADEN)

On 20 January 2010, at Rolling Stone,9Guy Lawson wrote about Osama's Prodigal Son

In Syria, Lawson and Omar visit a nightclub called Les Caves de Boys where Moslems drink whiskey and watch Russian strippers.

According to Lawson, Omar, as a child in Afghanistan, befriended the teenage sons of men who plotted bombings.

According to Omar's memoir, one of Omar's closest friends was raped by a group of men.

"The rapists added insult to the attack and injury by snapping photographs of the young man during and after the rape," Omar writes in his memoir.


According to the memoir, Ayman al-Zawahri, Osama's top deputy, got hold of the photos and concluded that Omar's young friend was gay.

According to the memoir, Omar's young friend was dragged into a room with Zawahri, who shot him in the head.

Omar tells Rolling Stone: "No one could control me. That is why my father was always taking me with him. I was his chosen son. I was my father's favorite."

Omar bin Laden and wife (THE BIN LADEN FAMILY
OSAMA BIN LADEN)

In 1996, aged 15, Omar was reportedly still in Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, according to Rolling Stone, "his cousins in Jeddah had Jet Skis and weekend trips to London and Beirut; they had whiskey, women, freedom."

After the US invasion of Afghanistan, videotapes were allegedly found in Osama's base.

Allegedly, the videos showed puppies being painfully killed to test chemical weapons.

According to Omar's memoir, the puppies had been born to Omar's favorite dog.

In his memoir, Omar says he wept when he learned that his puppies had been killed.

This smells like CIA propaganda bullshit.


THE BIN LADEN FAMILY / OSAMA BIN LADEN

Omar makes it clear that not everything in his memoir is accurate!

According to the memoir, Omar confronts Osama about suicide bombers.

According to Rolling Stone: "Omar appears confused. 'It says that in the book?... It was not like that," he insists... In Omar's world, it appears, it is possible to be misquoted in your own autobiography."

Rolling Stone and Omar travel to Beirut

Omar's uncle owns the Hard Rock Cafe on the Corniche.

Salem bin Laden (The bin Laden Family).

Quoting a French intelligence report posted by PBS Frontline, The New Yorker reports, "During the nineteen-eighties, when the Reagan administration secretly arranged for an estimated $34 million to be funneled through Saudi Arabia to the Contras in Nicaragua, [Osama's eldest brother] Salem bin Laden aided in this cause." [PBS Frontline, 2001; New Yorker, 11/5/2001]

Did the Pakistan military get too close to a CIA safe house?

Did the Pakistan security services get involved in a fight at the CIA safe house and then discover members of bin Laden's family being housed there?

Did the US military then arrive on the scene to remove the evidence and concoct a story to cover its involvement with al Qaeda?

Former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf's 2004 autobiography talks about an Al Qaeda (CIA) safe house in Abbottabad. (Musharraf knew of Abbottabad safe house?)

An ISI official told the BBC the compound in Abbottabad where Bin Laden was allegedly killed had been raided in 2003. (Bunny Laden.)

Pakistan's spy service (ISI) had been sharing information about the Abbottabad compound with the CIA since 2009 and had continued to do so until mid-April. ( Pakistan 'shared information about compound ...‎)

A Cobra helicopter belonging to the pakistan military

According to Pakistani Urdu TV channel Geo News (killed in Abbotabad near Islamabad of Pakistan):

Pakistani intelligence officials said that a Pakistani army helicopter was shot down in Abbottabad and then a search operation was launched by Pakistani forces.

At about 1:20 a.m. local time a Pakistani helicopter was shot down by unknown people in the Sikandarabad area of Abbottabad.

The Pakistani forces launched a search operation in the nearby area and encountered a group of unknown armed people.

An exchange of fire followed between the two sides.

When the exchange of fire ended, the Pakistani forces arrested some Arab women and children as well some other armed people.

Two U.S. helicopters flew to the site and carried away a dead body

Initial reports said that at least one was killed and two others were injured in the crash.

At least two houses were engulfed by the huge fire caused by the crashed chopper.

~~

"The CIA's Larry Mitchell met Osama in an American hospital in 2001"

~~

"U.S. officials have said that Pakistani officials were not told about the early morning helicopter raid until the strike team had killed Bin Laden and had returned to Afghanistan from where they took off, citing security reasons.

"Many Pakistanis were surprised at how this was possible, especially when initial reports stated that the choppers took off from a Pakistani air base." (Bunny Laden.)

~~

"I used to go to their house. He had two wives, one spoke Arabic, and the other one spoke Urdu. They had three children, a girl and two boys. They gave me two rabbits."

Bunny Laden.

~~

U.S. officials have listed a number of points that they claim prove the dead man is Osama bin Laden:

DNA taken from 'the brain of Osama bin Laden's sister following her death from brain cancer' was a 99.9 per cent match to that of Osama.

A woman, 'believed to be one of bin Laden's wives', confirmed bin Laden was the dead man.

The CIA said they compared photos of bin Laden's body with known photos of him and were 95 per cent sure that they showed the same man.

The burial from an aircraft carrier in the North Arabian Sea was videotaped aboard the ship, according to a senior defence official.

All sounds like a lot of CIA lies?
MISSING: KIN OF MEN KILLED BY CIA'S DAVIS

~~

A Pakistani police officer says the mansion was owned by an Afghan national called Arshad Khan.

He added: "There were several members of the bin Laden family inside the compound who have been taken into custody.

"One of them was his daughter Safia." (Osama bin Laden: Neighbours shocked to be living next to world's ...)

"Unidentified males who survived were flown from the scene, while four children and two women, including Bin Laden's daughter Safia, were taken away in an ambulance.

"It is believed his youngest wife Amal al-Sadah was also taken into custody."

~~~



According to Hamid Mir, 3 May 2011 (The Osama bin Laden I knew):

Osama "was hiding in Abbottabad with one of his wives, a son and a daughter...

"His 10-year-old daughter Safia watched American commandos entering the house, who took away the dead body of her father.

"She confirmed later: 'The Americans dragged the dead body of my father through the stairs'."

Hamid Mir is spouting CIA propaganda?


A scene from the film Blackhawkdown

~~

"His youngest wife, Amal al-Sadeh, 27, with whom he reportedly had a number of children, was shot in the leg during yesterday's attack.

"The al Qaeda chief's beloved youngest son, Hamza, 18, and another son, 22-year-old Khalid, were also said to have been killed." (The loyal sons of Osama Bin Laden - and the many relatives who ...)

~~

"White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan told reporters Monday that bin Laden's son Khalid was killed in the raid.

"When the White House released a transcript of Brennan's briefing, it substituted the name of a different son, Hamza...

"Brennan said bin Laden's wife died while shielding the terrorist leader from U.S. gunfire.

"Carney said Tuesday that the wife hadn't died and was merely shot in the leg, although another woman did die. But it wasn't clear that either of them was trying to shield bin Laden.

"Brennan and other officials suggested that bin Laden was holding a gun and even firing at U.S. forces. Carney said Tuesday that bin Laden was unarmed." (White House Struggles to Get Story Right )

Mary Tyler Moore set for surgery on benign brain tumor

TV icon Mary Tyler Moore will undergo surgery to remove a brain tumor.

The TV legend and Oscar-nominated actress will go under the knife to remove a meningioma, or benign tumor on the lining of her brain, People reported yesterday. Meningiomas are extremely common and usually occur in older adults.

“At the recommendation of her neurologist, who has been monitoring this for years, and a neurosurgeon, Mary decided to proceed with this fairly routine procedure,” said her rep Alla Plotkin.

“The prognosis for meningioma removal is generally very successful, and much depends on the condition of the patient before surgery, and the size and location of the tumor,” Brooklyn Hospital’s Dr. Anders Cohen told US News and World Report. “The vast majority of patients do well and return to their former lifestyles.”

Despite the health issue, the “Mary Tyler Moore Show” star was in cheerful spirits yesterday when she made a surprise visit to the Rachael Ray Show to chat alongside her friend and former “Dick Van Dyke Show” co-star Dick Van Dyke.

Manny Pacquiao Steroids Controversy: The Story Is, There Is No Story - Bad Left Hook

The story is there is no story. I'm not going to dignify the "article" with a link. It's out there and you won't have to look too hard to find it. Michael Woods of The Sweet Science already took the whole thing to task and did a great job, but since this isn't going to just go away (more on that in a moment), it's worth someone else saying this, so at least maybe those of you who don't live in some bizarre "Maury"-like fantasy world can get some perspective here.

There is nothing to this. If you buy into this completely ridiculous, completely transparent mess of absolutely nothing, written by someone who won't offer a name, supposedly at the behest of another anonymous party, you are being unbelievably gullible. In fact, I could probably just stop now, since chances are you have no idea WHY you're being gullible, or why this all seems so incredibly fake and useless.
This isn't tabloid material. This is sub-tabloid material. Of course just a few minutes ago, Floyd Mayweather Jr. got wind of it and tweeted about how it's a must-read. Nothing with a misspelling of the word "using" is a must-read.
If you were to ask me my honest opinion of whether or not Manny Pacquiao uses or has used performance-enhancing drugs (and I'm sure this will anger someone, too), my answer is simple: I don't know. The testing system that boxing commissions use is laughable. Anyone who actually does get caught is a fool.
So to answer your question more accurately, I'm as sure that Pacquiao is clean as I am sure that Mayweather is clean, that Mosley is clean, that the Klitschkos or Haye or Ishe Smith or Chris Arreola or the ghost of Jack Johnson are clean.
But right now there's nothing real happening. This is pure propaganda, wherever it truly came from.

Chelsea Handler Goes Public With New Boyfriend

Chelsea Handler and new boyfriend Andre Balazs took their romance public this past weekend in New York City, UsMagazine.com reports. The couple, which has been quietly dating since January, was at the Boom Boom Room this Saturday celebrating the launch of Handler's fourth book, Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me.

There were a bunch of other famous faces at Handler's book party including Katie Couric, Lucy Lui, Vera Wang, Josh Hartnett, Michelle Trachtenberg and Carla Gugino. And keeping in line with Handler's love of Belvedere vodka, guests sipped on Belvedere Bloody Mary & Pink Grapefruit cocktails.

And what does Handler gal pal, Heather McDonald, think of the talk show host's new man? "He's a babe. He's very successful and he's very nice. I think she's met her match," McDonald recently told E! News. "He doesn't put up with her, but in a fun way, which she loves. Chelsea likes when you don't put up with her too much."
Hotelier Balazs was previously linked to actress Uma Thurman and Handler most recently got the rumor mill buzzing with a romance with rapper 50 Cent.

Lady Gaga : écoutez The Edge of Glory

Lady Gaga a sorti lundi soir le troisième single extrait de son nouvel album, « Born This Way », à paraitre le 23 mai.
Vous pouvez donc dés maintenant découvrir « The Edge of Glory », qui devrait nettement moins faire parler de lui que le précédent single, le controversé Judas.
Lady Gaga a co-écrit et co-produit le single avec Fernando Garibay et DJ White Shadow. S’inspirant de son défunt grand-père,  Lady Gaga raconte que cette chanson est « à propos de votre dernier moment sur ​​la terre, le moment de vérité, le moment avant de quitter la terre. »
Lady Gaga va assurer la promo de son nouvel album et sera présente au Festival de Cannes dans les prochains jours.

Chelsea Handler - Chelsea Handler Confesses 50 Cent Romance

Comedienne Chelsea Handler has finally come clean about her whirlwind romance with 50 Cent, admitting she dated the rapper "very casually".

The TV funnywoman was first linked to 50 Cent last October (10) when they were photographed enjoying a night out together, but the stars adamantly dismissed talk of a budding relationship.
Now Handler has finally confirmed their romance, telling U.S. talk show host Piers Morgan, "We dated - very causally."
She added, "He's a very sweet, nice guy. He's fun, a great guy. He's the complete antithesis of what you would imagine. Sweet, funny, a great sense of humour."
Handler also used her appearance on Piers Morgan Tonight to address rumours her new boyfriend is Uma Thurman's former lover, hotelier Andre Balazs.
She told the host, "I'm seeing someone now. I feel like I talk about my love life (too much)."
When asked by Morgan, "Is he a hotelier?", she replied, "That sounds familiar actually! I have spent so much time exposing my personal life to everybody that I'm finally in a situation where I feel like it's disrespectful to another person.
"We all know who I'm dating! What do you want me to talk about? Underwear?! Sorry, I'm not being coy, we all know what's happening. I've learned to respect somebody else's privacy. He has children, so I have to be nice."

Nicole Scherzinger Talks X Factor USA Role

Pop diva Nicole Scherzinger is riding high after being unveiled as the host of the X Factor USA.

However, with reliable sources alledging she was being lined up to judge on the Fox show, many were surprised to see the former Pussycat Doll assuming hosting duties. Co-hosting, at that.

With filming for the much-talked about show underway, Scherzinger took a moment out to address the drama, shedding light on her the recruitment process, and why she prefers presenting to judging.

Check out what she had to say after the jump…

Loto-Quebec chases youth market with Lady Gaga ads

----------------
MONTREAL -

Lady Gaga is lending her Poker Face anthem to Loto-Quebec's new card game, but critics say young problem gamblers will be the big losers.

The Crown corporation has paid $300,000 for the rights to the American pop star's 2008 smash hit. It's the highest royalty fee in Loto-Quebec's 41-year history.

The dance song is featured in the gambling agency's Lotto Poker television ad that debuted Tuesday.

"We are looking for young customers in their 20s and 30s," says Loto-Quebec spokesman Jean-Pierre Roy. "Lady Gaga is more popular with this clientele."

The Gaga deal isn't sitting well with observers such as gambling critic Sol Boxenbaum, who tells QMI Agency that Loto-Quebec has been trying to reel in young gamblers for years.

"It's really, really unfair to go after that young market," said Boxenbaum, who played a key role in pushing Quebec to ban the sale of lottery tickets to minors in the 1990s.

He said that even though Gaga's underage fans aren't allowed to play Lotto Poker, young adults are just as vulnerable.

"These kids that get into trouble with gambling at age 18, they are the ones ... that when they get to be 30, 35, and have responsibilities, find themselves being problem gamblers."

Lady Gaga does not appear in the Loto-Quebec ad, but her Poker Face song plays in the background.

Loto-Quebec says it quickly recovered its $300,000 royalty fee. Lotto Poker earned $440,000 in its first two days of operation.

"It was $2.4 million the first week," said Roy.

The Victoria's Secret supermodel and actress was out for a stroll yesterday with boyfriend Jason Statham, 43, near their home in Los Angeles and was more than happy to get her legs out in tiny denim hotpants.
The 24-year-old blonde beauty was also wearing taupe suede ankle boots with a matching studded bag and a simple white jumper and she and Jason shopped for sunglasses at Oliver Peoples.

Buttonless iPod Touch 5G a fake

Early last week images leaked of what was purportedly the upcoming iPod Touch 5G. Packing a 128GB storage capacity and buttonless home screen button (capacitive), two separate images leaked days apart from each other.

Update: Buttonless iPod Touch 5G a fake

At the time it was difficult to determine whether they were in fact real or a fake. With the first pictures being somewhat blurry it was almost impossible to tell. However the second picture almost certainly looked like a fake and today, TechCrunch has confirmed so.
The blog has just reported that on their "tip line today comes an email from the faker himself (or herself) talking about how easy it was to make a fake and get it on all the biggest gadget sites of the net."
Unfortunately that's how it is in the fast paced tech industry. Sometime as story goes flying out quicker than the experts can analyze and debunk them as fakes. That's why pencils have erasers right? So, we're back to square one then with the iPod touch 5G rumors... More on this as and when it develops.

Sony PS3 hacker accepts Ipad 2 jailbreak challenge

FORMER SONY PLAYSTATION 3 HACKER George Hotz, who uses the nym Geohot, has agreed to an Ipad 2 jailbreak challenge, according to a fellow hacker.

Iphone hacker Joshua Hill said on his Twitter account that he has challenged Hotz to "dump the Ipad 2 BootROM" before he can. Hill said Hotz accepted the challenge, and that the famous PS3 hacker "didn't have an iPad yet but he's getting one soon".

You would think Hotz had enough of taking on mighty corporations after his dealings with Sony, which filed a lawsuit against him threatening to unleash fire and brimstone after he successfully hacked the Playstation 3. This legal dustup led to Anonymous attacks against Sony, with the litigation finally ending in a settlement last month.

But before the PS3 business Hotz had been well known for jailbreaking Iphones and he appears ready to try again with the latest version of IOS, although it's surprising that somebody else hasn't managed to do it already, considering that Apple's shiny Ipad 2 has been out for some time.

But Hotz did say that there are some difficulties in jailbreaking the Ipad 2. He said in a blog post last month, "This is going to take quite a bit of reverse-engineering in order to get it to work. Apple is making it more and more difficult to jailbreak their devices."

It's unlikely that Hotz will attract the attention of Apple's lawyers, however, as although the cappuccino company doesn't like it, jailbreaking IOS isn't actually illegal, and indeed has become an accepted way of using Iphones and Ipads and playing around with programs without having to deal with the restrictions of Apple's App Store.

Hotz added, "Getting the iPad 2 jailbroken would mean that we are one step closer to jailbreak all the rest of the Apple iDevices coming this year including iPhone 5, iPod touch 5G or any new form of Apple TV they may introduce."
