Bollywood Bond girl Aishwarya Rai Bachchan furious over Elle magazine cover 'skin-whitening' scandal
The Daily Mail reports that fans of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were left stunned last week after the actress's skin appeared to have been digitally lightened on the cover of a new issue of Elle magazine.
Now the 37-year-old Bollywood star, who is widely believed to be the world's most beautiful woman, is said to be considering suing the Indian version of the title over what has been deemed 'racist airbrushing'.
The actress herself has not commented on the situation, but friends
'Aishwarya's first reaction was disbelief,' said one.
'She believed that these things don't happen anymore. Not in this day and age when women are recognised for their merit, and not for the colour of their skin.
'She is currently verifying this skin-whitening allegation. If there is any proof of this, she might even take action.'

New Mexico gov Bill Richardson says he won’t pardon Billy the Kid
In one of his last official acts — or non-acts — before leaving office, New Mexico's governor refused to pardon the Old West outlaw Friday for one of the many murders he committed before he was gunned down in 1881.
Gov. Bill Richardson cited ambiguity surrounding the pledge of a pardon 130 years ago as the reason.
"I felt I could not rewrite history," Richardson told The Associated Press, hours after announcing his decision on ABC's "Good Morning America" on his last day in office.
The prospect of a pardon for the notorious frontier figure drew international attention to New Mexico, centering on whether New Mexico territorial governor Lew Wallace promised Billy the Kid a pardon in return for testifying about killings he witnessed.
Richardson concluded Wallace did make a deal, "but it's uncertain why he did not keep his promise," said the former U.N. ambassador and Democratic presidential candidate.
He said he could not pardon Billy the Kid given that ambiguity and the fact he killed two deputies when he escaped in April 1881 from the Lincoln County jail, where he was awaiting hanging for the 1878 killing of Sheriff William Brady.
A pardon document was even drafted, "but in the end, I didn't use it," said Richardson, adding that he didn't decide until Thursday night.
The proposed pardon covered only the killing of Brady, and not the deaths of the deputies or any other killings. According to legend, Billy the Kid killed 21 people, although the New Mexico Tourism Department puts the total closer to nine.
He was shot to death by Sheriff Pat Garrett in July 1881.
Albuquerque attorney Randi McGinn, who petitioned for a pardon after studying the issue, said she won the battle in proving there was a promise but lost the war over the pardon. She said, however, she didn't regret "one iota being Billy the Kid's lawyer."
Garrett's grandson, J.P. Garrett, of Albuquerque, sent an e-mail to The Associated Press: "Yea!!! No pardon! Looks like it will be a great new year!!!!"
Wallace's great-grandson, William Wallace, of Westport, Conn., said Richardson "followed the correct, rational track in forgoing a pardon for a convicted murderer."
Both men had expressed outrage Richardson would even consider a pardon, arguing there was no proof one was ever offered.
The historical record is unclear, Richardson said. His staff told him in August there are no written documents "pertaining in any way" to a pardon in the papers of the territorial governor, who served from 1878 to 1881.
Richardson's successor, Gov. Susana Martinez, who takes office Saturday, has said she won't even consider a pardon because state issues were more pressing.
"There's an awful lot of work to be taken care of for us to be wasting so much time on such a consideration," the Republican said Tuesday.
Richardson's office set up a website in mid-December for public comments following McGinn's petition. The survey that ended Sunday brought in 809 e-mails and letters from all over the world — 430 favoring a pardon and 379 opposed.
McGinn argued Lew Wallace promised to pardon the Kid, also known as William Bonney. She said the Kid kept his end of the bargain, but the territorial governor did not.

The National Enquirer Exposes Lesbian life of Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King
Well, apparently Oprah thinks there’s something wrong with being a lesbian and refuses to come clean.
The National Enquirer reports that a teary Oprah Winfrey insisted to Barbara Walters that she and best friend Gayle King are not gay - but an in-depth ENQUIRER investigation has uncovered the REAL truth about their shocking secret life.
Inside sources reveal that behind closed doors the two women live a lesbian lifestyle - sleeping together in the same bed and vowing to love each other unconditionally for the rest of their lives.
Both washed their hands of men years ago, insiders say, with Oprah callously betraying her former fiance Stedman Graham to nurture her relationship with Gayle.What's more, sources say the wealthy and powerful talk-show queen has used payoffs, bribes and outright lies to keep America from learning her secrets.
"Oprah and Gayle genuinely love each other," an Oprah family member told The ENQUIRER.
"But they don't think the rest of the world could ever understand their feelings, so they keep their private life quiet."Oprah, 56, opened up about her sexuality and her relationship with BFF Gayle, 56, during an interview on ABC's "A Barbara Walters Special: Oprah, The Next Chapter."
Oprah told Barbara: "I am not a lesbian…I'm not even kind of a lesbian."But when she tried to explain her feelings for Gayle, Oprah became overwhelmed by emotion, breaking down in tears."She is the mother I never had. She is the sister everybody would want. She is the friend that everybody deserves. I don't know a better person. I don't know a better person," Oprah said.

"Top 10 Politician Promises Gone Wrong" -John Stossel
How dumb is Ezra Klein of the Washington Post? Answer: Extremely dumb when it comes to the U.S. Constitution and he’s not alone (Video)
Liberals are ignorant of the constitution because they’ve never read it or if they have they utterly ignore it as is the case with Ezra Klein.
He’s is not alone!
President Barack Obama views the constitution as a document of “negative rights’. Basically, Liberals, who by the way feel the need to call themselves Progressives to fool the public, have a disdain for our founding document because it is a hindrance to them and their “big government” is the answer to everything ways.
Because of Liberals, 50 million abortions have been performed in this country since 1973.
Because of Liberals there are more pot shops than Starbucks on street corners of California.
Because of Liberals we no longer have prayer in the public schools and look how much the education has declined.
Because of Liberals there are more Planned Parenthood centers in African American neighborhoods than any other group. Do you think that’s really a coincidence?
This is only a snippet of the ills of Liberalism that doesn’t believe in the values that has founded this nation. They do much more harm than good and are never held to account for the damage they inflict because it’s always done under the banner of “fairness” and “social justice”.
Break out the box and think for yourself!

Welcome to Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous...
hey now... if there's any celebrities out there who are planning a move to the area, I want you to email me..specifically any actresses with big tits lots of money and no morals...how many more celebs are gonna come here and then we gotta put up with that insufferable Minneards guy fawning all over them ad nauseum..look, these people are no different than you or I...maybe cash-wise a little more advanced, but they sit on the crapper like eveyone else..oh, they don't I just heard..they have someone do that doody for them?? oh fuck me then..that's very cute...do they have someone who saves their little neurotic dog's crap in the morning and puts little sweaters on them and parades them down Coast Village Road like it's fucking Rodeo Drive...they go to the gay salons and dine out at Lucky's and sit around the back tables doing lines of coke then they go get in their brand new celebrity show cars and speed away..what are they trying to prove?
ever since I started this blog, celebrities have moved in to try and capture some of my glow and I'm getting sick of it...why is Santa Barbara now a destination for the rich and famous? It's maddening I tell ya...so now when I go to the beach, maybe I'll see Drew Barrymore walking her dogs with the wind air-brushing her hair just right, so I'll snap a picture and what does that make me?? a pussyhound, what else..see, I haven't changed, everyone else has!
ok Drew..I know you've had a troubled past with the drugs and the rebellion, but that's normal...and you beat it because you're a big girl now...In the 1990s, Barrymore was frequently described as bisexual, although she stated in a 1997 interview that she had not "been with a woman in about two years". In 2004, she was quoted as saying "A woman and a woman together are beautiful, just as a man and a woman together are beautiful. Being with a woman is like exploring your own body, but through someone else. When I was younger I used to go with lots of women. Totally. I love it". In March 2007, former magazine editor Jane Pratt claimed on her Sirius Satellite Radio show that she had a romance with Barrymore in the mid-1990s.Barrymore was formerly a vegetarian, but has since begun to eat meat....
until next time....uuhh..keep reaching for the stars??
Nuevo aspecto de Megatron en Transformers Ongoing en límpio
Bueno, a partirde Transformers Ongoing Nº13 éste es el diseño que Megatron tendrá en los comics de Transformers Ongoing. Bueno, hasta el momento no teníamos una imagen clara tanto de él como de lo que podía llegar a se su modo cybertroniano.
Para aquellos que pensaron que Megatron tendría un diseño de arma futurista, le digo que no. El diseño de Megatron es el siguiente:
Como podemos ver su diseño en modo robot se muy sorprendente a primera vista, pero sinceramente, éste es un diseño que no esperaba para Megatron, supongo que ya se han cansado del diseño de la P-Walper 38, es una verdadera pena, ya que el diseño hubese sido más interesante si hubiese sido el quew apareció por breves momentos en Transformers Ongoing Nº1.

World’s Longest Bridge is in China
Two separate teams have been building the different ends of the Qingdao Haiwan Bridge since 2006.
The crossing links three coastal towns in Shandong province.
One engineer said of the bridge's completion: "The computer models and calculations are all very well but you can't really relax until the two sides are bolted together.
"Even a few centimetres out would have been a disaster."
The previous holder of the world's longest bridge title was the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in southern Louisiana in the US.
It features two bridges running side by side and is 23.87 miles (38.42km) long.

NYC Sanitation Union Fires Back At Accusations Of Slow-Down
NY Fox.com reports that the chairman of the Municipal Labor Committee, Local 831, which represents men and women of the New York City Sanitation Department says there is no truth behind a rumor that his members worked slower during the blizzard of 2010.
Sanitation Union Fires Back At Accusations Of Slow-Down: MyFoxNY.com
Speaking with Good Day New York on Wednesday, four days after the first snow fell in a 20+ downfall across the tristate, Harry Nespoli said his workers don't "mess around with the snow."
Local politicians and residents where streets have not been cleared from the snow are angry. From all accounts, the response to the blizzard was inadequate.
This is how dedicated Dept of Sanitation is
Strippers Gone Lawsuit Wild: Judge OKs suit against corporate owner of Rick's Cabaret
The New York Post reporta that more than 50 strippers suing Rick's Cabaret can try to dig into the deep pockets of the jiggle joint's publicly-traded corporate owner.
Manhattan federal Judge John Koeltl said the gals "have met their burden" in alleging that Rick's Cabaret International "was their employer under the 'economic reality' test."
In a decision made public today, Koeltl noted that the $5 million-plus suit charges that Rick's Cabaret International "directly employs regional managers, who are responsible for overseeing the operations of the subsidiary clubs," including
the one on West 33rd Street.
The suit also alleges that both the regional managers and the various clubs' general managers report to Eric Langan, who is CEO of the corporation and president of each of its 20 skin palaces, the judge ruled.
Koeltl further rejected "concerns" raised by Rick's about the "credibility" of lead plaintiffs Sabrina Hart and Reka Furedi, who were accused of lacking "sufficient moral character" to spearhead the suit.
"No plaintiff evinces a credibility problem sufficient to require her exclusion as a class representative," the judge wrote.
The case centers on Rick's sale of "dance dollars" to patrons who want to buy lap dances.
Each funny-money bill costs $24, but the strippers only get $18 when they redeem them at the end of their shifts, the suit says.
"We look forward to a full resolution of this issue on the merits, at which time we are confident the Court will agree with our position, and the position of the vast majority of the entertainers who perform at Rick's NY, that they are independent contractors and not employees," said Jeffrey Kimmel, a lawyer for Rick's.

What ever happened to guilt and shame?
Everybody is out to get noticed.
It doesn’t matter for what.
Just get the attention for the 15 minutes, don’t worry about looking like fool, or hurting others, or bringing shame to your family name.
Honor is out the window too.
Who even understands what honor is anymore when we have parents who are selfish and prefer to be friends with their children instead of parents.
Guilt and shame were very useful emotions.
It kept you in check from acting stupid a minimum number of times.
But without guilt and shame, we’re nothing but animals acting in self-interest for the spotlight, and everybody else be dammed.

New Yorkers direct ire at Mayor Bloomberg for poor handling of Blizzard 2010
“If you can’t handle a snow storm, you can forget you’re presidential aspirations!” irate New Yorker.
I lived in New York 47 years. I’ve seen 20 inch blizzards before in this city. But, the response to this one that started on Sunday has been abysmal. I still haven’t seen a snow plow go down my block yet. Where the hell are the salt spreaders that used to blanket the streets hours before the arrival of snow?
This time around there were no salt spreaders to be seen. I think Bloomberg decided to hold the salt the same way he wants food manufactures to reduce sodium in their products.
Bloomberg, one of the most arrogant mayors this city has ever known has really stepped in it this time!
Perhaps it’s a blessing in disguise because the blowback from this bugling of snow removal has only just begun. And before it’s all over, Bloomberg will rue the day he forced a third term down our throats.
