Joy Deleston Murdering: Son Anthony Tyrone Terrell Murdered mother Joy Deleston and Her Daughter with Rapper Juvenile, Jelani

Son Anthony Tyrone Terrell Murdered mother Joy Deleston and Her Daughter with Rapper Juvenile, Jelani Joy Deleston, Georgia Gwinnett County Sheriff's Deputy, was allegedly shot by the teenage son named Anthony Tyrone Terrell. Together with her were daughters Micaiah, 11, and Jelani, 4, who was fathered by Louisiana rapper Juvenile.

Cops in Georgia arrested a 17-year-old boy on Friday and charged him with killing his mother, who was a local sheriff's deputy, and his two small sisters. One of those little girls was the daughter of rapper Juvenile.

Anthony Tyrone Terrell Jr. allegedly gunned down his mother, Gwinnett County Sheriff's Deputy Joy Deleston, 39, and her two daughters, Micaiah, 11, and Jelani, 4.

Jelani was Juvenile's daughter. In 2003, the rapper, whose real name is Terius Gray, was arrested for abandonment of a dependent child after a DNA test determined he was the father.

Terrell, a sophomore at Central Gwinnett High School, has been charged with three counts of murder and three counts of aggravated assault. He is currently being held in the DeKalb County Jail.

The AP report said because of his age, prosecutors cannot seek the death penalty against Terrell. According to prosecutor Danny Porter,a preliminary hearing will be set next week in Gwinnett County Superior Court.

Rihanna and Chris Brown Romping in Jamaica Pool

Chris Brown and Rihanna romp in the pool

Rihanna and Chris Brown are dating, reported Pagesix.com. The Umbrella singer recently went to perform at Smile Jamaica Africa Unite Bob Marley celebration in St. Mary, Jamaica, and was photographed by a paparazzo romping with her rumor boyfriend Chris Brown in a swimming pool during the past weekend.

We caught Chris Brown and Rihanna getting hot and heavy in the water — and this is the first photo of them as a loving duo.

R&B's most secretive couple were sharing a romantic weekend in Jamaica and we can say for sure guys, the cat is out of the bag.

"They were smooching in the pool and were really lovely dovey," the PageSix.com spy told us exclusively. "They were playfully making out and he was kissing her on the neck."

The attractive pair, who got matching star tattoos on their necks in January, got in the pool after a leisurely lunch yesterday at the Hilton Kingston Hotel in Jamaica. They were hanging out with friends and at about 3 p.m., Chris, 18, jumped into the water and waited while Rihanna went to her room and changed into a bikini.

She came back and was very scared of getting her hair wet, said the spy. "They were floating together with him carrying her and she kept saying, 'Don't get my hair wet.' She was very soft and feminine but he was a big kid and splashing around."

Katoucha Niane Death: Super Model Katoucha Niane Drowned in Seine River

Super Model Katoucha Niane Katoucha Niane was one of the first African women to attain international stardom as a model and a vocal opponent of female genital mutilation. The top model from Guinea was missing since the beginning of this month after attending a late night party in Paris. In the end, it turned out a tragedy happened--Parisan police found Katoucha Niane's lifeless body in the Seine River on February 28. She possibly fell into the Seine River after a heavy drinking! From Telegrah

The lifeless body of Katoucha Niane, the former supermodel muse of fashion legend Yves Saint Laurent, has been fished out of the River Seine near Paris.

Detectives are investigating whether the beautiful 47-year-old - nicknamed "The Black Princess" - was the victim of a murder plot, although all the signs point towards an accidental death.

Seen as a forerunner of Naomi Campbell - the world’s most successful black model - Katoucha once commanded hundreds of thousands of pounds for her appearances on the catwalk.

In the 1980s she modelled for Christian Lacroix, Paco Rabanne and Thierry Mugler.

Until Thursday's gruesome find, she had not been seen since disappearing from her upmarket houseboat on a central stretch of the river by the Alexander III Bridge on February 1st.

The mother-of-three disappeared after being dropped off from a late night party organised by others from the world of Paris fashion, in which she still worked as a consultant.
Police believe she had been drinking heavily, and may have fallen into the water after losing her footing in a tragic accident.
Katoucha's handbag was later recovered near her houseboat.

Her body was pulled from the Seine in Boulogne, just west of the capital, according to one detective, who said investigators were yesterday afternoon still at the scene gathering evidence.

MyFreeImplants.com Offers Free Breast Implants

cara  after Free Breast Implants

It's not joke, Foxnews.com reports:

For those women whose cups do not runneth over, there is a Web site that promises to pay for a new pair, free of charge.

Women who sign up on MyFreeImplants.com earn the money for their breast augmentation surgery through donations from men who peruse their MySpace-like profiles.

Jason Grunstra, a Web developer in Los Angeles, founded the site in July 2005 after brainstorming the idea during a bachelor party in Las Vegas.

MyFreeImplants.com operates much like a social-networking site. Women 18 and over can sign up for free and create a profile with photos and the type of implant they desire: silicone or saline. Men — they're called "benefactors" — can also sign up for free, but then they must purchase credits, which can be used to send messages to the women.

For each message a woman receives, she gets a dollar toward her new chest.

Grunstra estimates that thousands of women have signed up for the site and tens of thousands of men have contributed.

Lindsay, who declined to give her last name, signed up in February 2007, and by June she had the $4,000 she needed to transform from a 34A to a 34D-DD. She is one of 103 women who have had new implants courtesy of the site's benefactors.

Jessica Levine, a 27-year-old marketer from Tampa, Fla., got her new silicone breasts on Nov. 13, 2007 after raising $7,500 online.

Cara (picture above) is one of Free Breast Implants receivers. But of course, there is no free lunch, to successfully receive the money sufficient to a plastic surgery, one may have to put a lot of time and energy into the Web site — contacting friends, writing the people on the site, don't forget, MyFreeImplants.com is a social network site.

Carina Lau Linked to Edison Chen Sex Photos Scandal???

silhouette images of new celebrities linked to edison chen sex photos scandal

Cherie Chung or Christy Chung?                Carina Lau Ka-Ling?

Shocking! Shocking! Shocking! Edison Chen Sex Photos Scandal continues to rock the Hong Kong showbiz even after one months. Today Carina Lau Ka-Ling (soon-to-be wife of Tony Leung, Ann Lee's Lust, Caution actor ) has been alleged of have sex photos/video with Edison Chen:

It must be really silly of the police to reveal that they have found more female celebrities pictures in Edison’s computers but yet not reveal the names. Various newspapers especially the scandalist magazines in Hong Kong have latched onto these and create name lists of their own based on “leaked” information and clues from the police supposedly. This was inevitable since “Kira” disappeared and they had to do follow-up reports on the scandal.

Now in the latest Sudden Weekly magazine, it claims that among the photos newly discovered from Edison’s computer, two of them are actually very famous female starlets. Yes, very famous they stress.

According to sources, the two big female stars enjoy a revered status and has tremendous influence in the industry. They also have good relations with both the wealthy and underground world. If their photos are exposed, Edison would face even greater pressure and possibly incur possible death.

The magazine even released silhouette images of the two female stars so they must have an idea of who exactly they are. On the left is the female starlet who is named, “车仔面” and has two sets of photos. Ten of them shows her wearing her undergarments in a hotel room in different poses. The other 20 photos sees her and another guy together and their actions are linked, possibly screencaps from a video. This female star is reportedly a very beautiful woman possibly in this world. She was very active in her early days in the movie world and had lots of scandals with many stars. No conclusive guesses for who it might be. [A lot of Chinese netizens speculated she is Cherie Chung, but others guess Christy Chung]

The other woman on the right is known as “冇艇搭”and is nearing 40 years old. She has appeared in movies over the past 20 years but is gradually moving towards a career in the financial world. Her photos are mostly taken in a hotel and has many close-ups and is quite “racy”. The photos aren’t very clear though and are likely to come from a video. Widely speculated to be Carina Lau.

If the rumor that she was also exposed in Edison Chen's sex photos was true, Carina Lau will definitely suffer another blow after the video showing her being raped by gangs released in 2006. In a result, her wedding to Tony Leung will possibly be canceled or at least delayed.

Hillary Clinton "3 a.m. Phone Call" Ad

Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton launched her campaign ad this morning in Texas where Senator Barack Obama has a small lead.

Without specifically naming frontrunning rival Sen. Barack Obama, the TV ad constitutes Clinton's strongest effort yet to try to undermine Democrats' confidence in Obama's experience and ability to handle an international crisis if he is elected president, noted Washington Post.

Beauty giant Coty has just added Academy Award-winning actress Halle Berry into its extensive celebrity portfolio including Jennifer Lopez, David and Victoria Beckham, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kimora Lee Simmons, Gwen Stefani, Celine Dion, Kate Moss and Tim McGraw, to develop a new fragrance, according to a report on Women's Wear Daily (WWD).

“Halle is an iconic actress and symbolizes beauty to many generations. She adds another dimension to the celebrity fragrance market. Halle has always been a little more mysterious, not quite as open with her personal life as some other stars. Her fragrances will allow her to present another facet of her personality to her fans.” Steve Mormoris, senior vice president of global marketing at Coty Beauty US, told the website.

The first Berry fragrance is expected to launch in spring 2009. It's be that Halle possibly was paid $3-5 million up front, with a royalty of about 5 percent. Link

Mike Smith, the lead singer and keyboardist of the Dave Clark Five (aka "The DC5", wikipedia), died of complications from pneumonia at the Stoke Mandeville Hospital outside London on Feb 28. He was 64.

The illness is believed to have arisen after the singer suffered a chest infection, stemming from complications of a 2003 spinal chord injury that left him paralyzed.

The Dave Clark Five was one of the most successful 1960s British Invasion Bands. They were the second group (after The Beatles) to have a chart hit in United States with singles including Glad All Over, I Like it Like That, Any Way You Want It.

Smith was hoped to attend the Hall of Fame induction ceremony on March 10, but, sadly, this will never happen. Source: NYT; Guardian

Ashleigh Morris, A Girl Who Suffers WATER Allergy

Ashleigh Morris WATER Allergy picture

Ashleigh Morris (picture below), a teenager girl from Australia Melbourne, suffers from water allergy, an extremely rare skin disorder called Aquagenic Urticaria [also known as Water Urticaria and Aquagenous Urticaria, wiki]-- that there are fewer than 30 cases documented in the world.  She was prescribed a heavy dose of penicillin that rid her of the tonsillitis in 2003 but left her with this such an unusual condition by changing the histamine levels in the body. How miserable she is!

Teenager Ashleigh Morris can't go swimming, soak in a hot bath or enjoy a shower after a stressful day's work - she's allergic to water.

Even sweating brings the 19-year-old out in a painful rash.

Ashleigh, from Melbourne, Australia, is allergic to water of any temperature, a condition she's lived with since she was 14.

She suffers from an extremely rare skin disorder called Aquagenic Urticaria - so unusual that only a handful of cases are documented worldwide.

When Ashleigh gets wet her body explodes in sore, itchy red lumps that take about two hours to ease.

...

Ashleigh spends a lot of time explaining her condition because few people have heard of it. Most doctors and dermatologists have never seen a case of it. "Many people don't even believe me when I tell them," said Ashleigh, who hardly believed it herself at first.

Angelina Jolie Twins Pregnancy Confirmed: Brad Pitt Told Friends They're Having Twins

brad pitt and angelina Jolie twins baby Bump picture

Angelina Jolie is indeed pregnant, with not one, but two! Her partner Brad Pitt has confirmed to friends that Jolie is expecting twins, reported Daily Mail .

After weeks of silence on the subject, Jolie's rounded belly on the red carpet of the Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday confirmed she was expecting.

Coinciding with Jolie's bump debut, excited dad Pitt has begun telling friends about their impending arrivals, the Mail Online has learned.

In preparation for the birth this summer, Pitt has been rescheduling his work so he has enough time to spend with Jolie and the children.

A friend of the couple tells the Mail Online: "Brad's been very quiet about this pregnancy so far but this was the weekend he decided to let the cat out of the bag. He's telling everybody close to him, because he's having to change around his work schedule to get ready for the birth.

"They're having twins, Angelina is healthy, and he's thrilled that he's going to be a father once again.

"They didn't exactly plan this pregnancy, but they wanted more children and Brad says Angelina was very willing to have them herself."

In contrast to the exotic birth of Shiloh in Namibia in 2006, Jolie is expected to undergo a more low-key birth in her native America.

The friend said: "They want to have these children in Los Angeles or New Orleans."

Interestingly, another source who revealed that Jolie is pregnant with one not two disclosed that Brangeina have planned to head towards to France as the place where they will have their next child to honour the actress’ late French-Canadian mother Marcheline Bertrand.

Christiane Plante Hulk Hogan Affair: Hulk Hogan Cheated Linda Bollea on Affair with Daughter Brooke Hogan's Friend Christiane Plante

Hulk Hogan and daughter Brooke Hogan

Christiane Plante Hulk Hogan Affair--Christiane Plante, a 33 years old friend who worked with Brooke Hogan on her 2006 album LP, has confessed to The National Enquirer that she had an affair with Brooke's father Hulk Hogan, 45. In a word what Perez Hilton describes is Scandalicious!!!

The Hogan family is just full of dramz these days.

Reports are surfacing that the Hulkster had an affair while he was still living with his wife Linda Bollea, prompting the hulking Linda Hogan to file for divorce from him. A divorce that's recently turned u-g-l-y .

But what makes it even more interesting is that dear old Hulk allegedly had an affair with a friend of his daughter Brooke.

Christiane states, "My relationship with Terry [Hulk Hogan] began at a time when Terry and Linda privately knew their marriage was ending. She had left him already, although no official papers had been filed. Terry is a good man, good father and a good friend, and he and I grew close at a time when he was going through a very difficult period. It seemed right then, but I know it was wrong."

"Having felt the guilt and pain build up, I gave a note to Brooke apologising for my actions," adds whorish Christiane. "I will never be able to fully forgive myself for this. I have lost an amazing friend."

The affair allegedly took place last year, while the family was still shooting their reality TV show [VH1: Hogan Knows Best] and Hull and Linda had yet to split.

Touch My Body  Lyrics:

I know that you been waiting for it, I'm waiting too
In my imagination I be all up on you
I know you got that fever for me, 102
And boy I know I feel the same my temperature's through the roof

If there's a camera up in here, then it's gon' leave with me when I do
If there's a camera up in here, then I best not catch this flick on Youtube.
Cause if you run your mouth and brag about this secret rendezvous
I will hunt you down
Cause baby I'm up in my business like a Wendy interview
But this is private, 'tween you and I

Touch my body, put me on the floor, hustle me around, play with me some more
Touch my body, throw me on the bed, I just wanna make you feel like you never did
Touch my body, let me rub your thighs, all around your waist, just a little taste
Touch my body, know you love my curves, come on and give me what I deserve
And touch my body

Boy you can book me on you like a brand new white tee
I'll hug your body tighter than my favorite jeans
I want you to caress me like a tropical breeze
And float away with you in my Caribbean Scene

If there's a camera up in here, then it's gon' leave with me when I do
If there's a camera up in here, then I best not catch this flick on Youtube.
Cause if you run your mouth and brag about this secret rendezvous
I will hunt you down
Cause baby I'm up in my business like a Wendy interview
But this is private, 'tween you and I

Touch my body, put me on the floor, hustle me around, play with me some more
Touch my body, throw me on the bed, I just wanna make you feel like you never did
Touch my body, let me rub your thighs, all around your waist, just a little taste
Touch my body, know you love my curves, come on and give me what I deserve
And touch my body

I'm a treat you like a teddy bear
You won't wanna go nowhere
In the lap of luxury
Baby just turn to me
You won't want for nothing boy
I will give you plenty
Touch my body

Dawn Yang Solicited by Edison Chen for One-night Standup?

edison chen indecent proposal to dawn yang

Dawn Yang, aka the Hottest Blogger in Singapore, released an excerpt from what she called messenger conversations with Edison Chen, indicating the embattled Hong Kong actor/singer once indecently proposed to her.

A chat with a serial philanderer--by  Dawn Yang

EDISON Chen - girls, ladies, and even tai-tais (if reports of his having photos of several wives of Hong Kong's richest tycoons are true) the world over fawn over him and are enamoured of him.

I confess. I used to be one of his admirers many years ago. My friend even gave me an Edison toy, complete with his baggy hip hop gear and diamond ear stud, as a Christmas present one year. This was when I was a teen and I have long since grown out of that silly phase.

Still, I was, frankly, neither all that shocked nor surprised when the controversy first exploded. I already kind of knew the sort of past-time Eddie indulged in. I was introduced to him by mutual friends in 2004.

An excerpt from messenger conversations with Eddie:
*** says:
how bout u come to town on the 29th
*** says:
19th i mean
xxx says:
as in hk?
*** says:
yeah we maybe get a nice suite
*** says:
and get freeky all night and day
*** says:
heheh how bout it will u do it wid me babee

Now she feels lucky enough not fly to Hong Kong for the meet-up and expresses her sympathies for those involved female celebrities and their family members:

That's just the tip of the iceberg. Now, I read back these saved conversations in amusement. When the pictures first leaked, I seriously thanked God I was not foolish, naive or feeling frisky beyond control. Otherwise my photos may have just ended up being among the hot 1,300 ones out there. I mean, with cute, charming, sweet Eddie, it could be very hard to resist.

Anyway, Eddie basically can get any girl he wants, and he knows it. A young, hot-blooded man like him - much to the envy of guys everywhere - thus has lots and lots of sex, with tons and tons of different women. It's simply because he can and he likes to. Does anyone dare argue that he's abnormal or the only man around like that? Why make him out to be such a jerk?

I think he's really lucky that all the women he beds do it because they like him, not because he's some filthy rich old man who buys expensive gifts and gets them movie roles or record deals.

So, Eddie has an exhibitionistic streak and likes to film his bedroom antics and keep sexy photos of his many conquests. To me, that's fine - he's not the first, really. Many people have such a fetish, yes? But, he should at least have the brains and common sense to keep these scandalous materials safely locked away.

Those women in the photos have themselves to blame as well - I don't see why Eddie should take the brunt of the fall. They were willing participants. Very willing in fact, judging from the enthusiastic poses and, urm, licking. As big stars with a lot to lose and money-spinning careers at stake, they should have erred on the side of caution.

This also brings up the question of hypocrisy and celebrities fulfilling their "duties" as role models for the young. These stars are after all human, and like most people out there, would have a sex life too. Can they not be wild in bed in private, but keep a proper and clean public image?

At the end of the day, the one person I feel sorry for in this mess? Nicholas Tse. To find that your wife cheated on you with your good buddy must be devastating to say the least.

Personally, we believe this is nothing more than a publicity stunt that Dawn Yang wanna get more attention. Apparently, by associating herself with Edison Chen sex photos scandal is much smarter than just let the adult site www.Asian-Sirens.com run a story on her.

Just minutes after we read the story above, we notice Dawn Yang's lastest blog entry on Stomp.com.sg-- Dawn Yang: "Why I revealed Edison's indecent proposal to me [not for attention but to but to send a message to girls out there to be careful.]"

"To people giving me flak for 'wanting attention', please look at this logically.

"If I really wanted the attention, wouldn't I have talked about this long ago on my personal blog as well as this one?

"Why wait until now?

"It just so happens that this week's Star Blog topic is about Edison.

"As Star Blogger, I'm just doing my job sharing my thoughts and experiences on the controversy.

"I brought up the personal anecdote of my encounter with Edison not to attract attention, but to drive home a point that no matter how charming or famous a guy is, a girl should not allow herself to be caught in compromising situations, as she has more to lose.

"I don't want to say anything more about my personal encounter with Edison as that was not the point of my STOMP article.

"I brought this up because when the scandal broke, a chill went down my spine as I could have been one of the unintended victims too.

"I just wanted to share this with the STOMP readers to drive home my message to girls out there to be careful and sensible, not to create a scandal or unwanted news around myself.

"People who read the whole article on STOMP will see that the anecdote was only a small part of it, not the crux; I find it upsetting that the mainstream media is taking the anecdote out of context and blowing it up, completely missing the point and message of my original article.

"Unfortunately I have no control over what STOMP decides to make headlines or not; I even tried my best to persuade SPH not to run this in the papers.

"Riding on the wave of the scandal is NOT ME, its the media and papers who make these headlines to sell more and make money."

Ferrum College Locked Down for Searching Possible Campus Shooting Gunman

Bassett Hall from Ferrum College

Ferrum College (website), a private school in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia, was locked down for searching for a suspicious man on campus. From Wdbj7.com

Breaking news at Ferrum College. The school in Franklin County has issued an alert and is on lockdown.  Anyone trying to find out information can call (540) 365-4232, 4202, 4206, or 4239.  Due to the high volume of calls, your call may not be answered immediately.

Police have been going door to door, alerting students and asking that they and staff members stay indoors. Sirens have reportedly been going off since 8:15. We're also told that Ferrum Elementary School is on lockdown, as well.

According to their website, all classes have been cancelled for today. 

News7's Hollani Davis says armored vehicles are headed to the campus.  She was told house cleaning staff saw someone suspicious this morning and alerted the proper authorities.  She's also been told a white male with a hand gun was seen heading towards a building around 7:30 this morning.  Hollani says there are seven life-support units on standby. 

We do know hospitals were put on high alert this morning. 

We're hearing from several people that shots were fired in Bassett Hall, however, the college has not confirmed this.

Anthony Adams, a Ferrum College senior, says he was on the way to class when authorities told him to go into Garver Hall with other students and faculty.  He called News7 from that location and said "we were told to stay in the building, lock the door, close the blinds, and be quiet."

Another student, Adam DeGennaro, says he saw someone in custody being walked back into the building.

God bless! Hope everybody there ok!

Nisreen Swedberg and Sarah Williams: We're Too Pretty To Fly

Too Pretty To Fly Southwest passengers Nisreen Swedberg and Sarah Williams picture

Still remember Kyla Ebbert & Setara Qassim? The two ladies were deemed too sexy to fly in two flights by Southwest Airlines. Now two students from University of South Florida, Nisreen Swedberg and friend Sarah Williams, claimed they were too pretty to fly on the Southwest Airlines plane. What did the bizarre they meet? Read the story below:

Tampa, Florida – Prejudice against pretty?

That's the claim from a pair of 18-year-old best friends from Oldsmar who were escorted off a Southwest Airlines plane.

USF student Nisreen Swedberg and friend Sarah Williams claim the flight crew was rude to them from the moment they stepped onto the plane at Tampa International Airport on February 14.

Swedberg said she asked a flight attendant for a bottle of water and was told she could wait until the rest of the flight was served.

“And I patiently waited and then when they came around with water, they skipped me,” Swedberg said.

At one point, Williams had to use the plane's bathroom. She saw another passenger in it, and when he hadn't come out 15 minutes later, she knocked on the door.

When he came out, Williams says the man came over to her seat and yelled a profanity at her. Williams admits she yelled a profanity back at him but was puzzled when she says the flight crew only questioned her.

“I think they were just discriminating against because we were young decent-looking girls. I mean, nobody else on the plane looked like us except us,” she said. “[The flight attendants] were like older ladies. We were younger. Who knows, they could have been just jealous of us because we were younger.”

Southwest defends the incident, saying the women caused a disruption on the flight.

When the plane landed in Los Angeles, the women were escorted off by four uniformed police officers and later questioned by the FBI.

Nearly two hours later, the women were released. No charges were filed.

Still, Williams and Swedberg say they were banned from all future Southwest Airlines flights, including their scheduled flight home to Tampa.

Barack Obama Turban Picture

barack obama turban photo

Obama Turban Picture--In an AP photo back in August, 2006, Senator Barack Obama was seen wearing a white turban and a wraparound white robe. Actually he was dressed as a Somali elder by a Kenyan senior during his visit to Wajir, a rural area in the northeastern of the country. Now this image, first posted on the DrugeReport, has caused a stir.

Obama accused of Clintons' smearing him:

Obama, in an interview with WOAI radio in San Antonio, Texas, said voters are "saddened when they see these kind of politics."

"Everybody knows that whether it's me or Senator Clinton or Bill Clinton that when you travel to other countries they ask you to try on traditional garb that you have been given as a gift," he said. "The notion that the Clinton campaign would be trying to circulate this as a negative on the same day that Senator Clinton was giving a speech about how we repair our relationships around the world is sad."

Obama campaign manager David Plouffe accused Clinton's campaign of "the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we've seen from either party in this election."

On the contrary, Hillary Clinton charged Obama using the controversy to distract the public's attention.

She then turned the tables on her Democratic rival and accused him of using the controversy surrounding the alleged leaking of the photo to distract the public's attention from deficiencies in his platform and experience.

"I know nothing about it," Clinton told ABC affiliate WFAA. "This is in the public domain. But let's just stop and ask yourself: 'Why are you -- why is anybody concerned about this?'"

Clinton said that she found questions about whether her campaign leaked the photo to be "really laughable."

"This is one more attempt by my opponent's campaign to change the subject," said Clinton, "From his health-care plan that won't cover everybody, from an economic plan that won't produce jobs, and from a record that is pretty thin when it comes to national security and standing up for our country around the world."

Whoa! American Presidential campaigns are so dirty!

Marketa Irglova Glen Hansard Once Falling Slowly Oscars Video

Marketa Irglova and partner Glen Hansard won Best Original Song Oscar for their tune Falling Slowly from the indie musical Once.

Falling Slowly Lyrics:

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

Daniel Day Lewis Is a Gay?

Daniel Day-Lewis oscar best actor

Someone says Daniel Day-Lewis is a gay, because he 'loves' Heath Ledger--he had dedicated (watch video below) Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award  to Heath Ledger.

Actually Daniel Day Lewis is not a gay. However the actor played half of a gay bi-racial couple in Stephen Frears's My Beautiful Laundrette. . The 50-year-old two-time Academy Award-winning British actor is a father of 3 children, he doesn't have wife but girlfriends:

Day-Lewis rarely talks publicly about his personal life. He had a relationship with French actress Isabelle Adjani. The relationship lasted six years and eventually ended after a split and reconciliation. Gabriel-Kane Day-Lewis was born on April 9, 1995 in New York, months after the relationship between the two actors had ended.

In 1996, while working on the film version of the stage-play The Crucible, he visited the home of playwright Arthur Miller where he was introduced to the writer's daughter, Rebecca Miller. The couple have two sons, Ronan Cal Day-Lewis (born June 14, 1998) and Cashel Blake Day-Lewis (born in May 2002) and divide their time between their homes in the U.S. and Ireland.

Carine Desir Death: American Airlines Passenger Carine Desir Dies on Plane With 2 Empty Oxygen Tanks

american airlines place carrier pictureCarine Desir, 44, of Brooklyn, returning home to New York from Haiti collapsed and died aboard the American Airlines Flight 896 on Friday after pleas to ask oxygen tank were reportedly turned down.
Carine Desir, who was returning home to Brooklyn, fell ill on a Friday flight from Haiti, according to Antonio Oliver, a cousin who was traveling with her and her brother, Joel Desir.

Desir asked for oxygen, but a flight attendant twice refused her request, Oliver said Sunday.

Other passengers aboard Flight 896 became agitated, he said, and the flight attendant, apparently after phone consultation with the cockpit, tried to administer oxygen from a portable tank and mask, but the tank was empty.

Two doctors and two nurses were aboard and tried to administer oxygen from a second tank, which also was empty, Oliver said. A nurse also tried CPR, to no avail, Oliver said.

The pilot diverted the flight to Miami, 45 minutes away. But during that time, Desir died, Oliver said.

According to Kansascity.com reader DMK, Oxygen bottles (full) are required safety equipment on board every flight. They are there for decompression situation which would allow the Flight Attendants to move about the aircraft and see to the passengers. That aircraft should not have been allowed to go airborne with empty tanks. American Airlines now is definitely in hot waters!

Update: Carine Desir, wife of New Yorker Mario Fontus, was a nurse and a mother of two, son Dimitry Fontus, 10 and daughter Tatiana Saint-Victor. She completed a mission to Haiti to hand some money to her relatives there, but very tragically, Desir who suffered from diabetes and high blood pressure, died of heart disease and diabetes onboard American Airlines' Airbus A300-600 jet. Although her cousin claimed that AA's flight attendants slowly responded to her unfitness, AA's spokeman Tim Wagner insisted its employee did nothing wrong.





Update:
Below are some excellent health tips from CNN's chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta, on Surviving an Airline Flight:

The recent story of Carine Desir, a 44-year-old woman who died on an American Airlines flight from Haiti to New York, has a lot of people thinking: Could that happen to me? Well, it could. But it's not likely and there's no reason to panic.

But what should you be thinking about before you get on an airplane? There are times when you should rethink flying, but it's not always a simple decision. Here's how flying is most likely to affect your health and some things to think about when you're deciding to fly or not to fly.

First off, it is worth noting that two important things happen on a plane shortly after takeoff. One has to do with pressure. If you are on a small plane that flies below 10,000 feet, the plane may not be pressurized. Larger planes that fly 30,000 to 40,000 feet above the earth will be pressurized, but because of the differential, the cabin altitude will still feel like you are about 8,000 feet in the air. Most people can tolerate this just fine. The oxygenation is also slightly lower in airline cabins, again not a noticeable difference for most people.

Still, there are people who are at most risk from these changes. People who have sinusitis, pneumonia, other respiratory illnesses as well as ear problems probably shouldn't fly and will feel pretty miserable if they do, because of those pressure changes. The cavities will expand and may cause pressure and pain.

Also, if you have had recent abdominal surgery, eye, ear or face surgery, dental work such as an abscess repair, you should stay grounded. Anyone who's had a recent concussion or colonoscopy should also wait at least a day before taking to the air. Obviously, a communicable disease such as TB (like Andrew Speaker had) should preclude you from flying. Another tip: Let's say you're out skiing and break an ankle or leg. Tell your doctor you want a soft cast or splint if you are going to be on a plane. The swelling can be awful.

There are some things you should always do on planes. Drink plenty of water and lay off the alcoholic drinks. While blood clots in the legs have not been shown to be caused by cabin conditions, they can be caused by simply sitting for long periods of time, especially with your legs crossed. Get up and walk around.
