New Nude Pics Of Partridge? Audrina's At It Again

As if her boobs and ass being shown all over the internet form a shoot when she was still a teen wasn't notorious enough, new nude photos of Audrina Partridge have popped up.

This time a half-naked Ms. Partridge is topless and tanned, showing off her perky breasts for the camera.

These pics are more recent, and show the sexy star of The Hills sporting a noticeable tattoo on the nape of her neck.

Things just keep getting better and better for Audrina when she gets naked. Her hot pics that were rejected by Playboy bring her all kids of attention, her show has a huge season premiere, and she got to appear with the Pussycat dolls in Las Vegas.

Whether this current batch of steamy shots will gain her more exposure remains to be seen, but judging from the photos, exposing herself is not a problem for Audrina Partridge.

Clinton Or McCain - Which Politician Has The Hotter Daughter?

Never mind who's going to win the White House and become the next President, the real issue here is who has the hotter daughter?

Is Hillary Clinton's charming Chelsea the bigger babe, or is John McCain's minx Meghan more mouthwatering?

Dith Pran, Subject Of 'The Killing Fields,' Dead At 65

Cambodian born journalist and survivor of the genocide under Pol Pot Dith Pran died of pancreatic cancer at a hospital in New Jersey earlier today. His longtime friend and fellow journalist Sydney Schanberg announced his passing to the press.

Dith's journey to America is quite the story.

He had been working as a translator for reporter Shaunberg in the state capitol of Phnom Penh when the communist regime came to power and started relocating civilians to the countryside.

Shanberg was able to help his family escape to the U.S., but Dith remained in Cambodia until he was able to escape more than four years later. He eventually made it to America, where he was reunited with his family and eventually landed a job at The New York Times.

His harrowing odyssey became the basis first for an article and then a movie called 'The Killing Fields', while Schanberg went on to win a Pulitzer Prize for his work in the Cambodia.

The film takes its' title from a term that Dith coined after passing open graves filled with victims of Pot's purges as he fled across the countryside in search of freedom. It is estimated that as many as 2 million of Cambodia's 7 million inhabitants were liquidated under Pot's Khmer rouge regime, through execution, torture or forced starvation.

After surviving a genocide, overcoming so many obstacles, and finding his way to freedom nearly three decades earlier, Dith Pran succumbed to pancreatic cancer at the age of 65.

The Blonde One With The Sunglasses Has A Very Unique Look

Once again Spring Break season is winding down and all the pretty party girls and horny frat boys are heading back to school...where they will continue to party.

This pic, courtesy of CollegeHumor.com, shows 4 lovely ladies posing for the camera while a man who can't mind his own business looks on.

Actually, who can blame him? These gals are tanned, toned and sexy. The hot girl in white has nice boobs, but the one who stands out the most is the blonde wearing the sunglasses.

She has a very distinctive look.

Sneak Peak - Cuba Set To Unveil New Cell Phone For Citizen Use

President Raul Castro recently announced the end of restrictions on private cell phone use and ownership in Cuba by the general public.

In conjunction with the government's decision, Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Cuba S.A., the state telecommunications firm, has unveiled the brand new official model that will be available for purchase by ordinary Cuban citizens.

The Che Gordo-M.1 is a proprietary Cuban design, utilizing technology which bounces radio signals off of airplanes flying overhead, along with a sophisticated voice amplification system that cuts out 80% of signal noise, including snap, crackle and pop.

Measuring just 18" by 12" by 6" and weighing just under 17 lbs., this portable wireless device's battery lasts for 29 minutes of talk time or 1.5 hours of standby when fully charged. The Che Gordo-M.1 comes with its' own hand crank for recharging.

Drab green military style carrying case is extra.

Also included is an FM radio function and tuning knobs, notes, calendar and contact list functions (3m sticky pad) and a cable attachment that allows the customer to run the phone off of a car battery.

The ETECSA has yet to make the official announcement, but sticker price is thought to be around 1, 967 Cuban Pesos.

Hayden Panettiere Flees From Giant Vulture Headed Geek

The Heroes star is actually on set in Vancouver, where she's shooting a new movie with director Chris Columbus, the man who made Home Alone, wrote Christmas With The Kranks, and even managed to discover America...or something like that.

The film, titled I Love You Beth Cooper, is about a nerdy high-school student who declares his love for the ubiquitous hot high school cheerleader that are in all of these teen flicks during his Valedictorian speech.

Ms. Panettiere stars as popular blonde Beth Cooper, and Paul Rust, the fellow sporting the noticeable nose, will be playing the nerd. Quelle Surprise...

Hayden Panettiere playing a hot teen cheerleader? That's quite the stretch. Good to see the pretty young actress is branching out and tackling complex roles. No word on whether she'll have a nude scene.

No matter how the film turns out, at least the people of Vancouver got to see Hayden's sexy legs up close and in person.

Lucky Canucks.

Teen Audrina' s Amazing ' T and A'

It's still a mystery why Playboy rejected The Hills star Audrina Partridge for their magazine, but from the reaction out there, people clearly want to see more of her naked....

So here she is in all her nubile and buxom glory.

You have to admit...she does have great boobs and a sweet sexy ass.

Hard to believe she was just nineteen when she took these pics. She strikes a pose like a real nudie pro.

Word has it she is pretty upset about the whole thing now, but like the say in the business, any publicity is good publicity. That's the naked truth, pardon the pun.

After all, how long can an MTV reality show like The Hills Last? You have to plan for the future.

Like Heidi Montag...well, maybe not like her, but you get the idea.

As for now, Audrina's 'T and A' are looking okay.

Like what you see? Why not Digg it?

Bionic Burger Surpasses One Million Views

This cool little YouTube sensation re-enacts the true story of a man who went to McDonald's, and bought two cheeseburgers.

One he ate, the other he put in his jacket pocket...and forgot it there for over a year!

You're not going to believe what it looked like when he pulled it out, but it will make you wonder what the hell McDonald's is putting in their food...

...and why the hell we eat it.

Keeley Hazell Confuses Being Topless at Beach With Starring In Baywatch

Looks like British Page 3 Girl and all around babe Keeley Hazell got being nude at the beach confused with being in Baywatch.

Egotastic.com has some great photos of sexy Keeley working on her tan at the beach and in the buff. Ms. Hazell's breasts never fail to impress. They could even give Obama Girl's boobs a run for their money.

We all know Keeley doesn't mind being nude (or semi, at least), but this time it appears these pics were taken while she was swapping one bikini for another.

Somebody's a bit of a voyeur...naught, naughty. Her hair, makeup and lotion assistant is kind of cute, too.

We know this wasn't a Baywatch related shoot because there were no red one piece swimsuits, not a single busty blonde jogging down the beach for no reason, and David Hasselhoff was nowhere to be seen....

...unless he's the one taking the hot pictures.

Farewell Fabio? Real Madrid Set To Clean Casa

It's barely springtime and there is already talk of cleaning house at Real Madrid.

It appears that team president Ramon Calderon will be trying to offload a ton of talent come season's end, regardless of how Los Merengues do.

Those said to be offered up for big bucks are Julio Baptista, Michel Salgado, Mahamadou Diarra, Roberto Soldado, Javier Saviola, Christoph Metzelder, Jerzy Dudek and Fabio Cannavaro.

Cannavaro, 34, has always expressed the desire to return to his beloved Napoli, where he started his career, and this might be his chance...if they can afford him.

Either way, somebody somewhere will pay a handsome fee for his talents, as well as those of the other players thought to be leaving. There's a lot of talent on that list.

Looks like the Real Madrid locker room will be echoing with the sounds of 'Addios amigos!' pretty soon.

Obama's Girls Breasts Battle Baron Despair

10 Other Things Hillary Clinton May Not Remember Correctly

In the wake of SniperGate (what if there's ever a political scandal involving fencing materials...will we have a Gategate?), perhaps Hillary's ability to recollect should come under scrutiny.

After all, she is in her 60's now, and this picture clearly shows she was a hippie...a pot smoking one, perhaps? As for Bill''s hillbilly-fro, maybe he did inhale.

Regardless, the President of The United States cannot be delusional...Bush proved that.

Let's examine some other things her memory may be a bit fuzzy on...


1. How she was the one to free the hostages in Iran in the 70's

2. How she invented the internet...not that Al Gore guy.

3. How she was the one to Free Willy

4. How to disclose her tax filings

5. How to bow out gracefully

6. How Stella Got Her Groove Back

7. Who shot J.R.

8. How she battled Godzilla and saved Tokyo.

9. Who shot the sheriff. ( she didn't shoot the deputy, though the case does remain unsolved.)

10. How she ever fell for a guy like Bill.

Keeley Hazell - Has Her Baywatch Role Gone Missing Along With Her Clothes?

True to form, one of the famous lad mags has got a smokin' spread of some young tail between it's covers...and spread on the cover as well.

Page 3 girl and one of today's most popular of England's exports, Keeley Hazell graces the pages of FHM once again.

Other than for getting topless, Hazell's main claim to fame was her anticipated roll in an upcoming Baywatch movie... that seems to have disappeared.

The net was abuzz with reports of her landing a role in the red swimsuit, citing IMDB and other sources, but things seem to have changed.

A quick check of her name in the database shows no upcoming projects and no mention of Baywatch at all.

Even David Hasselhoff's page says squat about another beach bimbo borefest. Ditto for Pamela Anderson, who was said to have been making a cameo appearance.

Could this mean the public is being spared this cinematic schlockfest? Is Hazell being robbed of a chance to go beach bounding as her breasts bounce on screens for American audiences?

Poor Keeley...this was supposed to be her big chance to make it in Hollywood while keeping most of your clothes on. Not that nakedness bothers her.

She's always been keen on showing skin, but only so much, (which still looks to be a whole hell of a lot) so when Playboy offered her a gig, she turned it down because she wasn't comfortable with doing fully nude shoots.

That would explain why she was so upset when her sex tape was leaked last year.

When are these young -soft core and pseudo-celebrity starlets going to learn that sex tapes always come back to bite you in your money earning ass?

Playboy Passes On Pics Of Teen Audrina Naked

I don't know what Catholic School she goes to, but I'm enrolling if that's what all the girls wear.

Splash News Online has a full set of photos that Audrina Partridge took a few years back with the hopes of making it into Playboy Magazine.

It seems the star of MTV's reality show The Hills was trying to get a start in the modelling business and not finding it so easy.

Her solution? Get naked. Unfortunately, no matter how naked she got, Playboy wasn't interested...and you can only get so naked.

Oddly enough, now that Audrina has found fame, the pictures are gaining her attention she doesn't want....or so she says.

It's anybody's guess whether this is a publicity stunt, or some lucky photographer cashing in before her star fades. How long can a show about superficial dumb broads doing nothing last?

Then again, if it does start to go downhill for her, (not that it would be a long ride) she could always pop out a sex tape.

Man...is every chick on that show a douchebag?

Like what you see? Go ahead and Digg it!

Yet Another Reason To Hate Bon Jovi

Nevermind the cheesy music, Jon's self involved swagger or the keyboardist's poodle head haircut, there is a brand spanking new reason to be annyed with this glam band gone bad.

The LA Times reports Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora has been arrested on suspicion of drunk driving. What's worse, he had three passengers, including two female minors along for the ride.
His ugly mug has been posted all over the internet as a result.

When he was pulled over, he failed a series of sobriety tests and finally a blood test, registering over the legal limit of 0.08%.

He's scheduled to appear in court on May 7th.

With any luck, he'll be found guilty, and ordered by the courts to never make music again.

Kim Kardashian Tired Of People Noticing Her Shoes Instead Of Her Breasts

Looks like svelte socialite and sex tape star Kim Kardashian has gone to desparate means to get people to notice her for her strong points...her big breasts.

'Uh, Hello? My tits are up here..'

The sad part is that she gets so spiffied up just to go to the local drug store.

What is even sadder is that paparazzi actually follow her.

Kardashian's claim to fame is a sex tape, made with her former beau Ray J, in which the two are said to have engaged in watersports...and not the kind involving a boat and a tow rope.

The tape ended up in the hands of Vivid Entertainment, whom Kardashian later ended up suing and settling with for a hefty $5 million.

Now that is what you call a Golden Shower.

Oh well...just more money for her to shop with while the press tags along. Remember when people had to have actual talent or ability to get famous?

Giant Man Uses Cell Phone - Pizza Delivery Boys The World Over Cringe

That's either one very small cell phone or one very large man.

Hint...the cell phone is normal size.

Turns out this is Leonid Stadnik, the man who surpassed a 7 foot 9 inch tall man from China in claiming the title of the world's tallest man.

The Guinness Book of World Records lists Stadnik, a 37 year old vegetarian from the Ukraine, at a towering 8 feet 5 inches in height and a staggering 440 lbs in weight...and he's still growing!

Looks like your mother was right when she said eating your vegetables would make you grow up big and strong.

5 Tips On Picking A Webhost Without Getting Scammed

With all the hosting companies and choices out there, how can the average consumer be confident they are making the right choice and not getting scammed. The net is a big place, and it can be hard to know who to trust or what questions to ask when choosing a web host.

Luckily, no matter how many hosting companies are out there, you have some things to focus on when narrowing down the field. These are 5 tips on what to look for in choosing the right host for you so you feel comfortable with the provider you do end up going with.

Whatever company you do choose, odds are you won't need their bigger packages. Most websites don't use a whole lot of space, traffic or extra features, so you should be fine with their lower priced plans. After you read this post, you may want to check out
lunarpages and see what the company has to offer. They have a pretty solid reputation in the business and have been around for a while.

Who Owns Your Domain? - This is extemely important. If you are relying on the hosting company to register the domain for you, make sure they do it in your name. If you ever want to leave that host and use another service, you don't want to find your precious site name actually belongs to your host and not you. It's always a good idea to register you domain through a separate company, just to make sure your host doesn't have leverage over you when you decide to leave.

Money Back Guarantee? - ALLWAYS look for this feature. You want to know that any funds you pay to your host can be rcovered as long as you end the service within the time stipulated. almost every good hosting company offers a money back guarantee, some for a week, others for as long as a month. Signing up for long term plans is fine if you want to take advantage of savings, but do it only with companies who offer you the guarantee.

100 % Uptime - Every hosting company experiences minor technical issues from time to time, and often a site will be down. This should not happen often or for too long, but no host can really promise 100 percent uptime guaranteed. Most responsible hosts will list their guarantee at something like 99.5 % or even 99.9%- which still allows for an average downtime of almost 2 minutes a day.

Unlimited space or bandwidth - This just isn't possible. The universe is finite, and you can bet the hosting companies hard drives are, too. This is just an example of a sales tactic called overselling, whereby the host offers far more space and bandwidth than the client will ever be able to use.

Why won't they be able to use them?

The reason is system resources. Even if you tried to make use of all that space, you would end up placing a strain on the servers, and then your account would be suspended or even terminated. Check the company's TOS (terms of service), and see if there isn't a clause about excessive CPU usage or something like that. Don't forget to check the AUP (acceptibe use policy), since it might contain a similar clause there as well. Those restrcitions bascially make it impossible to use that unlimited space and bandwidth you're paying for.

No Contact Information - Speaking of asking your host, look to see just how the company can be reached? No phone number? No live chat support? Is there even an e-mail address? These are things to consider, because if things ever go bad, you'll want to be able to contact somebody somewhere. Honest hosts are reachable hosts.

Now that you're armed with this information, you can go out and shop for your webhosting needs with confidence. Good luck!

Heidi Montag's New Music

The Hills' Heidi Montag has a new song titled 'No More,' which is pretty much exactly what everyone was hoping to hear from her musically.
It's available for download as of today, and you can give it a listen if you really are looking to punish yourself at People Magazine's website.

Montag, who's first video was widely panned, sings about an ex-lover who was toxic and how she no longer needs him...hmmm. Who could that be about?

The digital release comes on the heels of the MTV pseudo-reality show's season debut last night, but only time will tell if the popularity of the one will have any effect on the other.

Her previous effort, 'Higher,' took music to a new low, and was widely panned. If this current single doesn't fare any better, it will take more than her fake boobs to keep her music career afloat, leaving her washed up.

You have to admit, No More - Heidi Montag does have a nice ring to it.

Colbie Smulders Says Spears A Real Pro

How I Met Your Mother star Colbie Smulders actually had words of praise for Britney Spears' work on the episode which aired last night.

The Canadian born actress called the pop princess "a true professional,' noting that Spears showed she had the right attitude for working on the small screen by showing up for work on time, knowing her lines and wanting to do a good job. If only the rest of the cast felt that way.

Neil Patrick Harris ' career highlight so far was playing Doogie Howser, M.D., and doing this show certainly isn't going to change that. Even his buddy Max managed to eclipse those days and land a job on The Sopranos.

True to form, the episode was flat, the plot rather weak, and the only thing worth watching was guest star and Scrubs sweetie, Sarah Chalke.

The biggest surprise was that Spears didn't suck, but then again everything is relative.

Pam 's Easter Outfit? Tits and a Towel

Pamela Anderson doesn't even bother getting dressed anymore...apparently wearing a towel when you're out for Easter is good enough for her.

Having annulled her marriage to Rick Salomon, the queen of store bought cleavage was set to spend the day with another ex, Tommy Lee, and their offspring. Yes, these two were allowed to reproduce.

What Pam was thinking when she put this outfit on is beyond comprehension, but once the whole world has seen you naked and swallowing Greek salami, what you actually wear in public is of little consequence.

Seems like silicone offers it's own support. Maybe she thinks she's at the beach...or ancient Rome.

Finding her jumbo Easter egg treats won't be much of a search at all. Why does she even bother wearing clothes?

It's like highschool at midnight...no class.

Vannessa Hudgens + Ashley Tisdale = HM3?

Ashley Tisdale and naked net girl Vanessa Hudgens made their way through Los Angeles International Airport today. It is believed they are en route to begin location work on High School Musical 3, the next installment on the puzzlingly popular franchise.

Kenny Ortega is on board as director, with the plot revolving around Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens' characters stressing over the idea of being separated once they leave for college.

They decide to enlist the rest of the Wildcats and put on a spring musical that adresses their hopes, fears and concerns about the future that lies ahead of them. Seriously...you can't make crap like this up. Well, people actually do get paid to make stuff like this up, but that is an even sadder story.

Rumour has it that there was talk about adding a haunted element to the film, but that was eventually abandoned...like the fact that they are making a third one of these things isn't freakin' scary enough already.

Porn Play Set To Open

Deep Throat, one of the most famous adult films ever produced is set to open in Boston this summer, and rumour has it Ron Jeremy, Richard Dreyfuss and Thora Birch are in talks to star in it.

Before you monkey spankers run out to join the ranks of those who support the arts via legitimate theatre, you should know that the play is not about a woman who has a clitoris in her windpipe, but rather about adult icon Harry Reems.

Deep Throat - The Play deals with the story of how Reems got involved with the film and the events leading up to him being prosecuted for his part in the film once it was released. Reems is thought to be the only adult actor to be prosecuted for appearing in a film, and the event caused enough of a stir that Johhny Carson, Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson helped pay for his defence.

Richard Dreyfuss has been linked to the part of Reems, while Thora Birch has been in talks to play the late Linda Lovelace, a cult figure in the world of 7o's porn. Other names being bandied about in relation to the production include The Sopranos' John Fiore, and porn legend Ron Jeremy as prosecutor Larry Parrish.

The play is set to open in Boston in June of this year, and will then move to New York in August where it will play at the World Theate, the very same theatre the original opened at all those years ago. It is still owned by the same proprietors.

Reems was actually involved in theatre himself when he started out as an actor, as were many of his contemporaries, and was excited when he learned of interest in producing a play of his life.

Whether the mainstream theatre going audience will be as excited (pardon the pun) over a play about porn reamins to be seen.

Some people might find it too much to swallow.

Canada Owes Apology For Avril

The Evolution Of Avril Lavigne

Once upon a time, a little girl got up on stage and sang at a Shania Twain Concert. The crowd was amazed at how well this tiny teen could belt out country music hits. On that day, Avril Lavigne was discovered...one of the darkest days in Canadian history.


There is the pseudo-punk pop version of Avril, which burst onto the scene with the smash hit Sk8erboy. She was known for her tie and wife-beater t shirts, 'badass attitude' and constant cirticism of Britney Spears for being fake. This got old pretty fast.

Then there was the slightly more mature Avril. she had grown a bit, and was determined to shine a light for young girls about being themselves and not giving in to peer pressure, blah blah blah. She always said she could never see herself as the pretty girl type wearing fancy clothes. Of course, when she says something, you know she means it.

Lastly we have the upscale Avril. She has shed her Dickies and Doc Martens and embraced the haute couture she previously derided. Her music, which seemed to be leaing towards a more mature sound at one point, still speaks of junior high drama. 'Hey, hey, you, you, I could be your Girlfriend?'

Sure, I have 15 or 20 minutes to spare.

There are many great Canadian musical acts, many virtually unknown in the USA or other parts of the world. Kathleen Edwards, Feist, The Tragically Hip...all excellent acts.

So consider this an official apology for Avril Lavigne...think of her as payback for Britney Spears.

Bigger Breasts Worth Buying In Bulk?

When it comes to buying breasts, is bigger really better?

Cosmetic suregery gets more and more popular as prices for procedures come down and more and more treatments are discovered.

Breast implants are still up there with the most popular of augmentations, but is super-sizing really smart?

Maxi Mounds, seen in the photo, is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for having "World's Largest Augmented Breasts." Her fake funbags are a massive 42M... while her measurements are an incredible 156MMM-26-36!

What is the porn princesses' silicone secret? Silly string implants, which are polypropylene implants that keep on growing after implementation. Sound too good to be true? Well it almost is, since the FDA does not approve of their use at this current time.

For the curious,the world's largest natural breasted woman is Norma Stitz. Her mammaries are a jaw dropping 48V , and her measurements are 72-48-52. If you're thinking that is a whole lot of woman, you're right. Each of her breasts is rumoured to weigh a whopping 35 pounds each.

But are bigger breasts as appealing as they look? Maybe not, if you consider the story of Miss Lolo Ferrari. She is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records under the number of augmentations category. After what is thought to have been 18 and even as many as 30 boob jobs, Lolo achieved a 54 J bra size, but suffered from a number of medical problems as a result, and had to rely on prescription drugs to cope.

Her breasts held as much as 3 litres of surgical serum each, and were supposedly designed by an aircraft engineer. Ironically, she had a fear of flying because she was scared they might explode, and she also had difficulty breathing and could not sleep on her back due to their immense mass.

Ferrari actually died in 2000 under suspicious circumstances, and her husband was briefly arrested in regards to the matter. Murder was considered, as was suicide, but his theory was that she actually suffocated under her own boobs. He was eventually charged and placed in custody, only to be released and compensated after her death was ruled to be a suicide.

Let that serve as a lesson to everyone out there considering a boob job, or trying to get their significant other to get one. Not only are dangers and complications a possibility with the procedure itself, but the after effects can also be quite a...handfull.

Bigger isn't always better.

5 Tips for Saving Money On Gas

With oil prices hitting record highs and service stations charging obscene amounts of money for that much needed gasoline, people might want to consider a few tips on how to get the most out of their fuel comsumption so they can save a few dollars at the pumps.

1. Streamiline to Save $$$

Wind resistance and aerodynamics play their part in how much fuel you burn going down the road. You may want to take off any superfluous rigging on your vehicle like ski racks, luggage mounts, roof-top storage...whatever. Reducing drag on your automobile can reduce the drag on you wallet by as much as 20 percent.

2. Relax On The Road

Using a laid back driving style with smooth acceleration and consistent cruising speeds can mean as much as a one third improvement in fuel efficiency. Use the cruise control on the highways and try to avoid the hard braking and acceleration that chips away at your pocketbook.

3. Timing Is Everything

Gas stations tend to increase their pricing as the weekend approaches, and then it levels off. Once midweek arrives, they are back down again, and by Wednesday morning they should be at their lowest. Pull in and load up on savings.

Also, the morning is a good time to buy gas since it is usually the coolest time of the day. Lower temperatures means denser gas by volume, which translates into more internal combustion bang for your buck.

4. The Right Gas

Unless your automobile requires higher octane or premium gasoline, regular octane will do the job. There is a difference between being recommended to use high grade fuel in your vehicle and being required. That diffenrce could mean extra money in your pocket when you pull away from the pump.

5. The Right Station

Full Service stations usually don't try and compete on price. That means you will be paying a premium for filling up at stations offering perks you don't need. Try and avoid the ones with tire centers, repair shops, attendants...whatever. Pump your own gas and enjoy your own savings.

You work hard for your money, so why pump it away to rich oil companies taking advantage of your need for fuel? Use some of these tips and put that money back in your pocket where it belongs.

Five Slain In Iowa City Shooting

Five people were shot and killed in an Iowa City, Iowa home today. The bodies of a woman and four children were discovered after emergency dispatchers received a call at 6:31 am that urged police to get there immediately. The unidentified caller then hung up.

What makes this case even more intriguing is that the adult male resident listed at that address is Steven Sueppel, who was indicted last month on charged of stealing somewhere around US$560, ooo during his stint as the vice president and controller of Hills Bank & Trust. He was not at home when the police arrived.

A further twist in this tale involves the missing family van which is now thought to have been involved in a fatal accident on a nearby Interstate. Police found the van ablaze and have trouble identifying the driver and establishing whether this is actually the missing van.

The 42 year old Sueppel was out on a quarter of a million dollar bail.

The VP of a financial institution, embezzlement, money laundering, fatal shootings, burning car wrecks...sounds like Iowa City just got a whole lot more interesting.

Bare Breasted Britney

Tanned, toned and topless, Britney's busoms are front and center when you enter her new website.


Seems like the princess of soft-porn pop took some time off from being chubby and crazy so she could click some pics for a brand spanking new site which is still under construction.

Spears, who has been suffering from some sort of much publicized emotional breakdown is set to appear on How I met Your Mother tonight. Having made the point she cannot sing, it seems she is keen to prove she cannot act either...as if Crossroads wasn't proof enough

Meanwhile her father is doing a bit of financial house cleaning, including selling off some of her seven luxury automobiles. Maybe the hope is the less the cars she has, the less people she can run over and the less objects she can hit.

Spears, who has lost custody of her kids, her sanity, and any semblance of good taste, never can understand why she gets asked about sexuality in her videos and songs, yet she appears to get more and more naked as her career drags on. Sex sometimes made up for a lack of talent in many a business, but somebody once said "you can't fix stupid."

Considering her audience is largely made up of pre-teen girls, it's almost an improvement to see that Ms. Spears showing less of her crotch and more of her cleavage these days.

It's what passes for classy with her.

Woman's Win Sets Slot Record

A woman from Woodbridge, Ontario set a new Canadian record last night when she won close to $9 million on a slot machine at Casino Rama.

53 year old Anna Falco had been playing the Megabucks Wide Area Progressive machines for close to an hour when all of a sudden she hit the record setting slot jackpot of $8,920,622.89, eclipsing the previous jackpot payout by over $7 million.

The progressive has been hit just 3 other times at the casino since its' implementation back in 2001. The previous amounts were $1.8 million won in December of 2002, $2.1 million in February of 2005 and $1.2 million in July of the same year.

Anna and her husband, Franco, plan to share the winnings with family and friends.

Makes you wonder just how many people lost their shirts before Falco got lucky...

Richardson Judged A Judas?

New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson has come under fire from Clinton supporters for his endorsement of Barack Obama as the Democratic Presidential nominee.

Critics are claiming that Richardson, who served as Secretary of Energy under Bill Clinton, owes a debt of loyalty to the family for helping him in his political career.

Endorsing Obama is seen by some to be a political dagger in the back, with Clinton campaign advisor James Carville going so far as to imply Richardson was a Judas. Richardson chose not to lower himself to that level, but did mention that he saw that as typical for Clinton's people, and that there was "a sense of entitlement to the presidency."

The 60 year old Governor and former Presidental candidate came out in favour of Obama at a rally in Portland, Oregon on Good Friday, saying that "Obama will make a great and historic President," and adding that he is a "once in a lifetime leader" and that he would be "a president who brings the nation together."

CNN reports that despite his decision to back Obama, Richardson says he still remains loyal to the Clintons, but just feels that it is time for a change. Clinton's camp has officially shrugged off his decision, claiming that the nomination will be decided by the public.

This comes in the wake of a hectic week that saw the Obama and Clinton camps go at each other while the Republican party just sat back and smiled. The constant back and forth attacks between the two Democratic hopefuls is said to be causing some tension within the party, and playing right into the oppositions hands. Richardson himself remarked about the negativity and personal attacks in th ongoing campaign.

Meanwhile, on the Obama side, issue was taken with former President Clinton's remarks which seemed to imply he didn't love his country. Of course the Clinton camp denies that they ever intended any such implication.

Funny how two people who claim to want what is best for the country and agree that a Democrat must take the White House can carry on with no regard for the possible damage it might do to either one's bid for the Presidency. Despite the numbers, Sen. Clinton remains adamant about staying in the race.

And so it drags on. Let the mud slinging continue.

Call Girl Gone Wild?

America's most currently publicized prostitute may be set to appear in a Girls Gone Wild video.

CNN reports in a video segment you can view here that Ashley Alexandra 'Do Me for The Right Fee' Dupre may be making an appearance in an upcoming release of the famous line of DVDs.

Dupre, seen in these photos doing what she does best- getting naked for money, apparently was offered big bucks by Joe Francis to strip down and shake her money maker. That offer was soon rescinded. The clock is ticking on her notoriety, so Dupre has to 'get while the gettin' is good.'

Francis, the prodcuer of GGW, apparently changed his mind when he found he already had footage of the party girl- cum-prostitute getting down and dirty on the Girls Gone Wild bus a few years back. Eliot Spitzer's slut on the side may have been just a teen back then, but the flaunting of the flesh was clearly already something she was well versed in.

As long as Francis can prove that Dupre was 18 at the time, he should be able earn a huge amount of cash on another installment of what has already proven to be a big money making franchise. As for Ms. Dupre, this may be one of her 15 minutes of fame that she won't be able to cash in on.

Get the money up front...isn't that the first thing they teach in hooker school?

Masterful Minghella Mourned By Movie Lovers

Oscar winner and acclaimed director Anthony Minghella passed away in London on March 18th from what is being reported as a hemorrhage suffered after neck surgery.

Everyone will remeber him as the director of the hugely popular and wildly successful movie The English Patient, which won nine academy awards and became such a cultural force that it's appeal was even lampooned on Seinfeld, but Minghella has a fine list of other films attached to his name.

Recently, he produced the powerful drama Michael Clayton, along with The Interpreter, The Quiet American, and Iris. He also wrote and directed The Talented Mr. Ripley, starring Matt Damon, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow, which was nominated for five oscars. Law garnered an Oscar nomination as best supporting actor, while Minghella received a nomination for best adapted screenplay.

Just prior to his death he had completed work on The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, a TV pilot for an ongoing series set to air on British television.

Minghella brought a certain style and look to the cinema through his films, and often the look of them was very distinctive in their elegance and lush styles. Having started in the theatre, Minghella was a competent handler of actors, and could bring out their best qualities in even the smallest of roles. Regardless of how you feel about his films individually, (heaven knows I refuse to see The English Patient) you have to admit the man was extremely talented.

Minghella was 54 years old.

Arthur C. Clarke Dead At 90

The famous science fiction author, Arthur C. Clarke, passed away on March 19th in Sri Lanka, the country he had adopted as his homeland more than half a century ago.

His seminal short story, The Sentinel, spawned the film 2001: A Space Odyssey and forever linked his name to that of enigmatic director Stanley Kubrick. His works as a science fiction author and futurist have had enormous impact on the genre and the culture at large as well.

Clarke had been suffering from post-polio syndrome for some twenty years, having contracted the disease back in 1959, and spent much of his time in a wheelchair.

Even at his advanced age and in spite of his illness, the prolific author managed to finish the manuscript to The Last Theorem, a science fiction novel he co-wrote with Frederik Pohl, just days before his death.


His funeral in Colombo was said to have been attented by mourners numbering in the thousands. Clarke was 90 years old.

Richardson Backs Obama

New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, himself a brief candidate for the post of President, has publicly declared his support for Barack Obama.

All Obama needs now is for Sen. Clinton to back him, and we can get this party started.

Oh, wait...she still thinks she is in this fight. Listen to all those people cheering you on, Hillary...it's from Republican party strategists. Seems they like how your campaign is tearing your party apart.

Looks like the Democrats have a new mascot...an albatross in a pant suit.

Countries Consider Boycotting Olympics

CNN reports that China's threats to crackdown on Tibetan protests have not been well received in parts of Europe and Britain. There is talk of boycotting the Beijing games. Talk.

How the hell did China get the Olympics to begin with? They are well known for human rights violations, intoleranance of disidents, and famous for their restriction of the press. Isn't anyone scratching their heads over this one?

How does this mesh with the Olympic ideals?

The West talks, but there are people being arrested everyday in Tibet...while the Red Giant calls the freedom movement a 'conspiracy.' Where are Richard Gere and Steven Seagal when you need them?

Wal-Mart does huge business with China, knowing full well how bad the factory conditions are and how oppressive the regime is...but Americans can't engage in commerce with Cuba? Where is the consistency?

Are our governments so desperate to do business with this emerging economy that they'll let them get away with anything? Is appeasing them in the hopes that they soften their policies really a prudent approach? Why didn't they give the Olympics to Iran? North Korea?

The general consensus is that China is worried about its' reputation in the world, so threats of a boycott carry some weight. Perhaps.

Even so, what is to stop them from going right back to their old ways after throwing a pretty Olympic party for the world to see?

Anyone, anyone...Bueller?

Wacko Weather Attacks America

Snow, rain, storms....all that is missing is a plague of locusts.

The midwest has been getting pummelled by heavy rains and river flooding, leaving thousands homeless. What hasn't been hit by rain is being crippled by massive snowfalls.

The mighty Meramec topped out at almost 38 feet, a few feet shy of the levee's height, sparing Valley Park, Missouri the same fate that many other communities in America's heartland have suffered. Arkansas and Ohio have been waterlogged, along with other parts of Missouri, with something like 70 counties in that state alone having reported some sort of flooding.

CNN reports that rivers have receded in Ohio, but that parts of the state are still under flood warning. In other parts of the sate, the problem is snow...way too much of it. Minnesota was hit hard as well, with Milwaukee getting over a foot of snow today alone.

Good Friday indeed.

There are as many as 16 deaths estimated as a result of the freak weather in the last week. Now this may not be as big as Katrina, but seeing how bad a job FEMA did with that disaster, it will be interesting to see how this situation is handled. Whole towns have been evacuated in places like Arkansas, but what will there be to come back to if things get way out of hand?

You have to feel bad for these people, but shouldn't precautions be taken for the worst case scenarios? How many floods have to happen before you either move or build some big-ass levees?

It's like those people you see on TV talking about what they'll do after their house is pulverized or their trailer gets thrown 300 yards somewhere in tornado alley..."We'll rebuild."

Yeah...let me know how that works out for you.

His Pastor's Keeper?

So now Obama is facing some political heat about some remarks his pastor made.

Rev. Jeremiah Wright let fly with with some fire and brimstone some time ago, and it seems Sen. Barack Obama has hell to pay for it these days. While the Senator did not support what Wright said, he stood by his pastor and explained his feelings in a well delivered speech given in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Why is this stuff being brought up now? The race was not supposed to be about race. Former Vice-Presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro faced some criticism for remarks she made in regards to Obama's race having to do with his current political success. That blew over pretty quick.

Ferraro eventually stepped down as a member of Hillary Clinton's finance committee, not because she took back her remarks but, according to a what a Clinton campaign source told ABC News, because she wanted to keep on discussing the matter without hurting Sen. Clinton's campaign.

So why is Obama being held to a different standard? He may have heard those remarks Pastor Wright made years ago, but considering the source and the context, what could he really have done? He has publicly condemned the sin, but not the sinner...isn't that what his religion is really all about.

After all, isn't it clear to everyone involved that Pastor Wright 'done wrong?'

Elton John On Larry King

A deadly storm has hit downtown Atlanta and damaged the CNN Center, a crane has crashed through a residence in New York City and killed 4 people, and Tibet is crawling with Chinese riot troops out to squash freedom protests... but Larry King wants to know what is going on with the Queen of Pop?

Now that is riveting....

Keep it up, Larry. Fascinating stuff.

Buddhist Bust Up

The Chinese government has been cracking down on freedom protests in Tibet, and nobody seems to really know the death toll or how many people have been injured and detained. Shades of Tianamen Square?

Hong Kong Cable has been sending out images, but China's government is famous for interupting signals when they want and blocking any feeds they may not want the outside world to see. Police are said to be going house to house in riot gear, but no images of any real violence have been captured...that we may know of.

Casualty reports range from 10 to over 100, with the latter being put forth by Tibetan exiles.

Funny how American politicians go on and on about human rights violations in specific countries and how communism is evil, yet the best they can do in situations involving China is 'urge' the government to respect the rights of the people. Meanwhile, they'll continue to do business with Beijing.

What else can they say? They're borrowing so much money from China to fund the Iraq war that they don't dare tick the Red Giant off. Look at how they handled the deadly toy debacle.

Time will tell if America puts any real pressure on the Chinese to cool it, but it seems unlikely. Tibet is poor, there aren't many Tibetan-American voters to pander to, and China has got cash.

Looks like we'll have to settle for more anti-Cuban dictatorship rhetoric. Of course, when Batista was dictator, then it was okay to deny people free elections. He was pro-America and turned a blind eye to organised crime. The U.S loved their little Fulgencio.

So what if he is rumoured to have tortured and killed about 20, 000 people?

Spitzer's Swan Song

Disgraced New York Governor Eliot Spitzer resigned his post today, though he denies having met with a hooker known as 'kristen,' who the New York Times has revealed to be a 20-something aspiring singer that goes by the name Ashley Alexandra Dupre.

CNN reports that federal agents ascertained the Governor and former state Attorney General used the escort service at least 8 times in the past few months.

8 times! How freakin' stupid is this guy? Couldn't he bang chubby interns like Bill Clinton did? They even claim they had him under surveilance on two separate occasions this year.

His resignation takes effect on Monday, when Lt. Governor David Patterson will become the first African-American governor of New York, and perhaps the first legally blind governor in the nation's history.

Spitzer has not been charged yet, though there is talk that his stepping down will have no effect on whether he will be prosecuted or not. Yeah, we'll see.

So here's the thing...who does the state's former top lawyer get to defend him?

Spitzer's Slut Sings?

The New York Times reported today that Ashley Alexandra Dupre (or 'Kristen,' as deep pocketed New York johns know her), is the call girl at the heart of the Eliot Spitzer scandal. Turns out New York state's most talked about prostitute is an aspiring singer.

That counts as two ways she makes money using her oral talents.

Ms. Dupre, who is said to have changed her name from Ashley Youmans to Ashley Rae Maika DiPietro back in 2006, claims she left home at 17 and embarked on an “odyssey to New York from New Jersey through North Carolina, Miami, D.C., Virginia and Austin, Texas;”

Isn't that a pretty indirect way of voyaging to a city that is only 7 minutes away by taxi? She really does get around.

Her MySpace page showcases her vocal abilities in a track called What We Want. It has already been played 319, 798 times today...wait...make that 357, 279. Something like 95 percent of the track's total plays have been racked up in a single day...currently seeming to jump at the rate of a few thousand plays a minute. Oh well, any publicity is good publicity.

It also goes on about her influences and how she is all about the music. Nowhere in her MySpace page does it list her as being a hooker, though that may end up being her only source of fame and notoriety.

One of her next gigs is rumoured to be singing in court, where she is expected to testify against 4 people accused of running the Emperors Club VIP prostitution ring. Dupre (Youmans, Rae Maika DiPietro, whatever) has not been charged, but did appear in court on Monday and was appointed a lawyer to represent her, but is still without a pimp.

Her mom, Carolyn Capalbo, claims she had no idea her daughter was a whore, but did say that “She is a very bright girl who can handle someone like the governor.”

Way to make mom proud.

Epicurean Alba

Jessica Alba is so impressed with French cuisine that she felt that need to post about her gourmet find on her MySpace page.

In her own words...

"Every day I have eaten ham and cheese sandwiches, I can't get enough of them. Wish they had these back in the States."

You gotta be kidding me. The real story here is that someone this dumb can feed themselves.

This from the girl who went on about being taken seriously as an actress as she lounged around, half naked, in the pages of GQ, topless and giving us the business end of her bloomers.

My advice for actresses of this calibre? Make the move to porn.

Britney Spears To Be Animated In New Video

Word has it that pop wonder-whore Britney Spears will be portrayed in animation form for her new video, titled Break The Ice.

Seems fitting, since the douchebag dilettante is basically two-dimensional to begin with and her life has become a sad cartoon.

Apparently they are drawing her in shape and not nuts...ahhh, artistic license.

Boy Band Bigshot Has Been A Bad Boy

Lou Pearlman, the man responsible for the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync (shudder) has reportedly pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiracy, money laundering and making false statements during a bankruptcy proceeding.

All this after a lengthy federal investigation alleging he scammed investors and banks out of more than $300 million.

Turns out his Transcontinental Airlines Inc. didn't really have 41 planes...but merely 2. He also misrepresented bailout funds, and apparently was running a good old Ponzi scheme in the guise of an employee investment savings program.

Remember when this guy was being heralded as a savvy businessman and marketing genius on all those entertainment 'news' shows? Turns out he was just good at lying and spotting a sucker.

According to reports, he'll be sentenced on May 21, and could face as much as 25 years in prison and a $1 million fine.

That's it? The bastard deserves to be shot just for all that crappy music he unleashed on the world...when will justice be served?

Mary Ann Meets Mary Jane?

The Associated Press reports that Dawn Wells, known to millions of television viewers as Mary Ann on Gilligan's Island, is serving 6 months probabtion for allegedly having marijuana in her car after being pulled over on the way home from a surprise party held in her honor.

She was pulled over on October 18th of 2007, in Tecton County, Idaho, after a Sheriff's Deputy noticed her, slowing down, speeding up and swerving as she drove. When he pulled her over, he inquired about an odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Wells attributed it to something that three hitchhikers she had just given a ride to had been smoking. A search of her car yielded some partially smoked joints and a couple of cases believed to be used for storing the dope.

As if that wasn't bad enough, she then failed a sobriety test.

Her attorney, Ron Swafford, claims that numerous witnesses were willing to testify that the former TV star had not had much to drink at the party and was sober when she left. The erratic driving was due to Wells playing around with the heater controls in her new car. Swafford further explains that a friend of Wells testified that he had used the car that day and left the drugs in it without the owner's knowledge.

Sounds like the show's writers had one last zany plot left in them....but then again, Mary Ann always was too trusting and naive.

Wells, who is now a whopping 69, pleaded guilty to reckless driving on February 29th and was given a $410.50 fine and sentenced to 5 days in jail and 6 months of unsupervised probabtion.

Who knew that the girl next door was a 60's version of Lindsay Lohan?

After spending all that time stuck on an island, 5 days in the slammer must seem like a cake walk. Thank heavens the Skipper wasn't alive to see this.

Isn't Gilligan usually the screw up?

Google Grows Again

CNN reports that internet juggernaut Google.com has just had it's bid to take over Double Click, and online ad tracker, approved by the EU.

The deal, worth some 3.1 billion dollars, was approved by the U.S, Department of Justice in December, even though complaints were issued by Yahoo!, Microsoft, and Fortune 500. They asserted that the deal would give Google far too much control over the internet advertising market, but the DoJ saw it otherwise, and now the last obstacle to the deal's completion has been surmounted.

Good news for Google shareholders, bad news for Big Brother theorists.

The Dow Gets Pick-Me-Up

We all know how the well to do like a little tiramisu, so why shouldn't they get it any way they can?

Thanks to news that the Federal Reserve will be lending 200 Billion dollars to banks in an attempt to ease their grip on tight credit markets, the Dow climbed 417 points today, gaining more than it had in any single day since back in 2002.

It really is nice to see that banks, who view having made less money from one year to the next as actually losing money, have had a little nudge to help them loosen up a bit. Now their shareholders can relax...stocks are rising, and the Fed is lending you cash so you can turn around and lend it to your customers, which is supposed to be your job in the first place. If you people really were worth the money you paid yourselves, would you need all this help to aid you in making profits?

Funny how folks who need help the least often get it the most.

At least people who lost their homes in the sub-prime lending fiasco can rest at ease...the banks are now ready to make money off you again.

Spitzer? I Hardly Know Her!

The New York Times has reported that State Governor Eliot Spitzer, a man who made his name in politics as a no nonsense Attorney General, engaged the services of a prostitute through a service called Emperors Club VIP. The liason was said to have taken place in room 871 of the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. on February 13th of this year.

The story involves wire taps of his cell phone, the alias 'George Fox,' suspicious transactions reported by his bank, and a female known only as 'Kristen.' It should be noted that George Fox is a friend of Eliot Spiter's. When contacted for an interview, he told the press he had not accompanied the Governor to Washington on the dates in question, and was not aware the Governor registered using his name.

According to the paper, the agency allegedly referred to Spitzer simply as Client 9, though many people in the agency knew him as George, and a few were aware that he was the Governor of New York.

Spitzer held a press conference in which he stated “I have acted in a way that violates my obligation to my family and violates my or any sense of right or wrong.”

His wife, Silda, stood by him as he delivered his statement, to which he added “I apologize first and most importantly to my family. I apologize to the public to whom I promised better.”

Spitzer made no mention of his political career, and strode out of the room when a few reporters asked if he would be resigning. The Republican state party, true to political form, is calling for him to step down.

Ironically, Spitzer himself had gone after two prostitution rings while serving as Attorney General of New York...back when he was known as the State's Eliot Ness.

Perhaps the hookers in those particular services were not up to his liking.

Colbert For President

The more you see some of these candidates interviewed by so called pundits, the more you wonder how the hell these people got these jobs. It seems like a cruel prank on the American public.

I'd vote for Stephen Colbert in a heartbeat. He's clearly intelligent enough, well spoken, and sees the bullshit for what it is.

With American politics being the tragic comdey it is, wouldn't it be nice to have somebody who was in on the joke running things?


Plus, Jon Stewart would make one hell of a White House press secretary.

Obama Equals McGovern?

So Barack Obama wants to end the war in Iraq...so he thinks that going into deep debt to fight an illegal war may not be the prudent course for the leader of the United States of America to take...so he has a social conscience...this makes him George McGovern?

The right's flailing attempts to label any possible opposition as liberal demons intent on ripping apart the moral tapestry of the American way of life is so cliche that it barely merits mention. McGovern was labeled as someone who was in favor of "Amnesty, Abortion, and Acid" due to reports circulated about him wanting to legalize pot, forgive Vietnam draft dodgers and end the war, and supporting legal abortions...reports that were revealed to have been given by his own initial running mate, Thomas Eagleton, who ended up being an albatross around the McGovern campaign neck. The label, put forth by Robert Novak and meant to portray him in the worst possible light, dogged him for the entire campaign.

Nixon eventually won the White House, and you know the rest...criminal acts, cover-ups, subterfuge, talk of impeachment, etc., etc., etc. This is supposedly better than wanting to bring troops and POWs home, separating church and state, and relaxing a few archane drug laws? In the end, wouldn't the country had been better off if McGovern had won?

Hmmm. Maybe Obama is the new McGovern. Maybe that isn't such a bad thing after all.

World Class Democracy?

Isn't it a little odd that a country which touts itself as the bastion for democracy and freedom of choice only has two political parties from which to choose?

That's only one more party than a dictatorship has.

Nevermind the fact that both parties are pretty much the same as far as ideals go, or that what passes for the 'left' in America is viewed as right of center in much of the world, but shouldn't 300 million people have more than two choices when voting for a party or a president.

Could Baskin Robbins brag if they only offered two wonderful flavors...Vanilla and French Vanilla?

Excuse Me While I Rant About...

What passes for journalism these days...

How does having talking heads and silicone shills relaying the latest doings of a dumbass celebrity on television add up to reporting? When did glossy gossip rags become the got to source of printed information? Since when is an actress walking her dog in flip flops and a parka considered news?

There was a time when a reporter was held in high regard for their willingness to sniff out a story and their ability to relay important news in an intelligent manner...currently it's kudos for who can get the scoop on what celebrity is drunk, dead or not wearing panties in public.

Nowdays it seems the gossip columnist rules and dirt pays...all of it dumbed down for the masses. Take a good long look at your idols, people...then go sit in the corner and cry.

Here's to making The National Enquirer the newspaper of record.
