VICTORIA BECKHAM LOOKS A LITTLE LESS "SPICY" ?
The Daily Mail says today that Victoria Beckham may have had her implants removed. Oh, I know, I couldn't believe it either.
SEPTEMBER 2006
NOVEMBER 2007
The Spice Girl stepped out at a television studio in Los Angeles this week looking much less perky in a certain area. Her once gravity-defying assets had moved in a direction more befitting to a 33-year-old mother of three.
This was in marked contrast to a year ago, when she was almost bursting out of a very similar dress in New York. Victoria was once forced to admit she had had breast implants in a court document for a libel trial.
Last night, her spokesman said: "I would say she is not wearing the push-up bra she normally wears, but I have not seen the pictures and I have no idea."
The first two pictures below are from September Spice of last year, the next three are from Yesterday Spice. I wonder if I keep writing like This Spice someone will realize how Dumb Spice this cutesy little gimmick is, especially since all I care about is seeing some hot foreign Vagina Spice.

GOOD OLE POLITICAL GOSSIP "BILL CLINTON HAS STILL GOT IT" !!!
FROM ARIANA HUFFINTON'S BLOG
I’ve just spent two weeks travelling (sic) and speaking with media elites in L.A., Chicago, NYC, and D.C. and among other things, I was repeatedly told that The New York Times and The L.A. Times are ’sitting on a BIG Clinton story,”‘ Huffington Post blogger Bill Robinson reports. “What concerns me is that this story has nothing to do with Hillary, her policy positions, her record, or her presidential potential. The ‘big story’ everyone is sitting on apparently has to do with the many current affairs of Bill Clinton, whom (sic), they will allege, has a gal in every port. I know, I know, you roll your eyes, you yawn, you wonder how anyone could possibly care about such things, true or not, when there is so much at stake in this upcoming election. But then you see what is going on with today’s Trent Lott/gay hustler rumors, this week’s Hillary/lesbian aide rumors, and you remember that the ghost of Karl Rove still haunts us.”
WTF ? - Madonna dyes sheep for Vogue !!!
MADONNA has horrified animal activists after dyeing her sheep blue, pink, yellow and green for a Vogue spread at their English country estate, in Wiltshire.
Madonna, 49, and husband Guy Ritchie, 39, insisted the dye used was temporary and did not harm the animals but an online report on music-news.com has said that the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) stated that even though the dye may be safe for the animals those who copy this stunt might not be so careful.
An RSPCA spokesperson said: "Why is it necessary and what are they trying to prove? It is an irresponsible publicity stunt. It sends out the wrong message about how to use animals."
The shoot was for the book Vogue Living: Houses, Gardens, People in which Madonna is one of 36 profiled celebs.
THE STRANGE TALE OF ZOEY ZANE
Emily Sander, missing 18 year old college student from El Dorado, Kansas is believed to be the victim of foul play. Her friends have shared a secret with investigators. It seems the young woman was leading a double life as internet porn star Zoey Zane. Sanders is seen in the upper left hand corner of the picture above. The suspect is seen in the lower right corner.
Several of her friends at Butler Community College said that it was a closely guarded secret, only known to her closest friends. Police are aware of the Zoey Zane website but have not said whether that has anything to do with Emily Sander disappearance.
Sander informed her parents on Thanksgiving that she had signed a contract to do pornographic work on the website. Her boyfriend reportedly broke up with her over the news.
The college student was last seen leaving a bar on Friday night in El Dorado, about 30 miles from Wichita. She was said to have left with a 24 year old male. The man, Israel Mireles has disappeared - along with his 16 year old girl friend. A rental car he had been driving turned up empty in Texas.
A nationwide manhunt is underway for the pair, according to police investigator Chad Young. Police are also looking for the bedspread shown in the picture above. It is missing from the hotel room Mireles and his girl friend were staying in before they disappeared.
View photos from the Zoey Zane website and an AP video of police investigation below.

SOLVING GLOBAL WARMING WITH PEE ???
Proposal to fix Pacific with 'urea' dump
By Charles Clover,
Proposals to dump large quantities of nitrogen-rich chemical in the Pacific as a quick fix for climate change have emerged at a UN treaty meeting in London.
An Australian company is planning to dump 500 tons of urea into the sea between Philippines and Borneo
An Australian company is planning to dump 500 tons of urea into the sea between Philippines and Borneo
Governments meeting to discuss whether the oceans should be used for experiments aimed at "fixing" carbon from the atmosphere heard that an Australian company is planning to dump 500 tons of industrially-produced urea - a substance that naturally occurs in urine - into the sea between Philippines and Borneo.
The meeting of members of the London Convention, the UN treaty on dumping at sea, heard that Ocean Nourishment Corporation of Sydney was in discussion with the Philippines government to pump nitrogen-rich water into the sea to stimulate algal blooms.
The idea is to pump the urea into barren areas of the ocean on the edge of the continental shelf to stimulate the growth of plant plankton.
Phytoplankton absorb carbon dioxide from sea water. Fish eat them and when they die some fall to the bottom, potentially removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Ian Jones, chief executive of the Ocean Nourishment Corporation, has been quoted as saying: "We transform the land to provide food for people. This is like practising agriculture at sea."
His company intends to use its technology to claim carbon credits under the Kyoto climate treaty.
John Ridley, managing director of the Ocean Nourishment Corporation, said: "An environmental assessment whether required for this small scale of experiment or not, is being prepared as this is part of our company environmental practice.
"While ocean nourishment will stimulate algal growth it is not intended to cause algal blooms. In fact the intention is to control the nutrient concentrations at one tenth to one fifth of levels that would result in an algal boom.
"In terms of a moratorium on research and development into climate change solutions - I think this would be unwise.
"In terms of terminology "dumping" is not a term that describes our nutrient injection - in the same way that a farmer doesn't dump fertilizer on his crops. Dumping tends to imply a waste product whereas this form of nitrogen is a valuable commodity."
The proposed release of urea follows controversy over plans by Planktos, a San Francisco-based company to dump thousands of tons of iron in the Pacific off the Galapagos Islands in an experiment also designed to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
A coalition of environmental groups are calling for the London Convention to call a moratorium on large "geo-engineering" projects until there has been an assessment of their environmental impacts.
David Santillo, Greenpeace representative on the London Convention, said: "This ill founded scheme is hitting the news because the Philippine bureau of fisheries is preparing to issue a permit. There would probably be an algal bloom but the vague assumption that carbon would be locked away forever is nonsense.
"Our view is that if the London Convention doesn't stop this, we wonder who will."
A spokesman for the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said: "The recent report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded that geo-engineering solutions to climate change remain largely unproven and are potentially high risk.
"The UK Government's strategy is that the most sustainable, low risk and effective solution to climate change is to tackle the problem at its source through substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions."

LADIES "CARRY YOUR PADDED BRAS WITH STYLE" !

MONKEY MEAT FOR THE SOUL ?
NEW YORK —
From her baptism in Liberia to Christmas years later in her adopted New York City, Mamie Manneh never lost the longing to celebrate religious rituals by eating monkey meat.
Now, the tribal customs of Manneh and other West African immigrants have become the focus of an unusual criminal case charging her with meat smuggling, and touching on issues of religious freedom, infectious diseases and wildlife preservation.
The case "appears to be the first of its kind relating to that uniquely African product," defense attorney Jan Rostal wrote in a pending motion to dismiss. "Unfortunately, it represents the sort of clash of cultural and religious values inherent in the melting pot that is America."
At the center of the case in federal court is a modest woman with nine children and a history of domestic discord.
The case dates to early 2006, when federal inspectors at JFK Airport examined a shipment of 12 cardboard boxes from Guinea.
They were addressed to Manneh and, according to a flight manifest, contained African dresses and smoked fish with a value of $780.
Instead, stashed underneath the smoked fish, the inspectors found what West Africans refer to as bushmeat: "skulls, limbs and torsos of non-human primate species" plus the hoof and leg of a small antelope, according to court papers.
Three days later, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agents were at Manneh's door, where she told them she ran a smoked fish importing business.
According to the agents, she initially denied ordering any bushmeat from Africa or ever eating it while in the United States.
But after she consented to a search, the agents came across a tiny, hairy arm hidden in her garage.
"Monkey," she explained, claiming the arm was sent to her out of the blue "as a gift from God in heaven."
Federal prosecutors hit Manneh with smuggling charges that accused her of violating import procedures and suggested she was a menace to man and beast alike.
A criminal complaint cited evidence that the illegal importation of bushmeat encourages the slaughter of protected wild animals.
More ominously, the complaint warned of "the potential health risks to humans linking bushmeat to diseases like Lassa fever, Ebola, HIV, SARS and monkeypox."
Defense attorney Rostal has countered by accusing the government of picking on a poorly educated immigrant.
Her client's only offense, she said, was her inability to grasp Western attitudes and highly technical regulations regarding bushmeat.
Defense papers also argue that the U.S. demand for the meat involved in the Manneh case _ from Africa's green monkey population _ is "too small to have any significance for conservation."
Manneh, 39, testified last year that before arriving in the United States more than 25 years ago, monkey meat was critical to her religious upbringing.
At age 7, "I was baptized and they used that for the baptizing ceremony," she told a judge.
Manneh is already serving a two-year sentence in state prison for trying to run over a woman she suspected of sleeping with her husband, Zangar Jefferson. If convicted of the federal charges she faces up to five more years in prison and deportation.
"The government's taking a woman away from her children," complained Jefferson, who's struggling to raise the children alone. "It's very depressing, especially with the holidays right around the corner."
The prosecution also has dampened spirits at the church in Staten Island where Manneh and other African immigrants once packed the pews to practice a religion blending Christianity and tribal customs.
One of the few worshippers left, Leona Artis, says the congregation's appetite for monkey meat is deeply misunderstood.
Take Thanksgiving.
"Where some people have turkey, we'll have monkey meat," Artis said. "I've been eating it all my life. It's delicious."
Baptisms, Easter, Christmas, weddings _ all are occasions for eating monkey, Manneh's supporters said in a sworn statement filed with the court.
The statement was vague about how the meat is obtained, but explains that it always arrives dried and smoked. Once blessed by a pastor, "we usually prepare it by cooking it for several hours into a stew," they said.
For them, the exotic import is more than just food.
"We eat bushmeat," they said, "for our souls."

BIZARRE SANTA CULT IS ON THE LOOSE AGAIN !!!
hree mothers get into shoving match over place in line to see Santa Claus.
By JOSHUA SUDOCK
The Orange County Register
ANAHEIM --The arrival of Santa Claus to the Anaheim Town Square shopping center was interrupted briefly Friday when three mothers -- one holding an infant – got into a shoving match over their place in line to see Saint Nick.
Security guards and event workers separated the women, who were shoving one another for nearly 30 seconds. No injuries were reported, and no arrests were made.
One mother claimed that she'd been saving her family's place in line since 9 a.m. for Santa Claus's noon appearance.
The mothers – all with children in tow – were lined up to see the "Jingle Bell Jump," which involved Santa Claus landing in the parking lot in a hot-air balloon.
The Jingle Bell Jump was an annual tradition at Anaheim Town Square that featured Santa Claus parachuting into the shopping center. After Sept. 11, 2001, a no-fly zone was enacted in a three-mile radius around Disneyland. Anaheim Town Square falls within the restricted area by a quarter-mile.
The first 300 people at the shopping center on the corner of corner of Lincoln Avenue and State College Boulevard received free T-shirts.
WACKY WALMART WACKING GUY ???
Meet BaseballPlaya. He is a 21 year-old college student who likes baseball, camping, and masturbating in the Arrowhead Mall in Glendale, Arizona. To date, BaseballPlaya has posted thirty-one (31!) videos of himself masturbating in several stores, including Walmart, Barnes and Noble, and Dillards.
BaseballPlaya's unusual proclivities should make him an easy target for Arrowhead Mall security. Rather than use dressing rooms, he drops his pants next to the elderly as they shop for trousers, blissfully unaware of the skeezy exhibitionist behind them with a running camera.
Boinkology tries to find a greater meaning to the public indulgence.
Is it a fuck you to corporate America? Is it extreme exhibitionism? Is it viral promotion for Wal-Mart? We can't even begin to guess.
Maybe it is why Home Depot forbids their employees from apprehending criminals. Regardless, we would like to remind you that public masturbation is never an appropriation expression of whatever pent-up feelings you have towards any store.
The folks at the Arrowhead Mall need to know about this pervert so they can protect the public; Boinkology has additional pictures, and for the more adventurous, links straight to the NSFW video.

Hot for the car
Edmonton man sentenced after masturbating on a BMW
By TONY BLAIS, COURT BUREAU
Sandy Wong gets turned on by expensive and classic cars, motorcycles and women with big feet and really likes to expose himself in public.
Unfortunately, the 45-year-old Edmonton man’s sexual deviancy has led to him “pleasuring” himself while sitting on the roof of cars, including a BMW on display at the Home and Garden Show at the Northlands Agricom.
Wong was sentenced Friday to 90 days in jail, which he has already served in pre-trial custody, and put on probation for two years after earlier pleading guilty to three counts of indecent exposure, two counts of mischief, two counts of obstructing a peace officer and theft.
“Mr. Wong is a sex offender. That is what he is,” said Crown prosecutor Kimberly Goddard. “These are sexual offences done in public; voyeurism, exhibitionism …”
Court heard Wong was observed checking out three BMW vehicles on display at the BMW display at the Home and Garden Show on March 22. Then, he was seen sitting on the roof of a 2007 BMW 328i sedan, valued at $50,000.
Shortly after that, Wong had dropped his sweat pants to his ankles and was spotted masturbating while sitting with his legs dangling over the driver’s door window.
Security eventually detained Wong until police showed up and a clean-up crew had to wash down the BMW.
According to psychiatrist Dr. Curtis Woods, Wong says he is “sexually attracted” to the BMW’s roof top because “it’s curved like a woman’s body, the sex appeal, it felt good.”
Woods said Wong reported he also gets aroused by certain cars, including a 1967 Camaro and a 1955 Chevy Bel Air, and blames the owners for buying the cars because it tempts him to “pleasure” himself.
Court heard Wong was also arrested May 24 for jumping on a 2005 MiniCooper outside the downtown Boston Pizza, dropping his pants and proceeding to “tuck, rub and bounce his naked genitalia” on the hood of the car.
He also admitted climbing onto the roof of a 1991 Buick Century parked at the rear of a south-side home, taking off his clothes and masturbating on June 12.
A witness said Wong was looking towards students in the playground of a nearby elementary school at the time, but Wong denied seeing or being motivated by the children.
In a psychiatric assessment of Wong, Woods said he told him he has a sexual preoccupation with women with big feet, has bought porn magazines about feet and once paid a prostitute $50 for a sexual service involving her feet.
He also revealed a “sexual captivation” with motorcycles.
Wong, who was born in North Korea and is living in a group home and receiving AISH benefits, has a lengthy criminal record including property offences and arson.
In 2004, he was convicted of several arson charges relating to a series of deliberately set fires in 2003 and jailed.
Provincial court Judge Peter Caffaro ordered Wong to abide by a 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew for the first year of his probation and a weekend curfew for the balanc

TOM BRADY "ITS NOT OUR FAULT THE OTHER TEAMS SUCK"
In separate radio interviews yesterday, Brady and cornerback Randall Gay responded to criticisms that the Patriots are running up the score. Brady, in his weekly interview on WEEI, responded passionately when asked if the starters are staying in too long. "We're still trying to make improvements and we're trying to play extremely well," he said. "We're not trying to win 42-28, we're trying to kill teams, we're trying to blow them out if we can. You want to build momentum for each week, you don't want to be up, 42-7 or 35-7, and all of a sudden you look up and it's 35-21. We don't want to be part of that, you don't want to go into next week realizing that for the last 18 minutes of the game your team didn't play well, or didn't play up to its capabilities. You gave other teams momentum for the next time they play you, or you gave another team a reason not to be intimidated." Gay, on ESPN Radio's "Game Night" program, said, "It kind of makes me mad when you hear somebody from the other team's defense going, 'They shouldn't have done that; that's disrespect.' Do we think it's disrespect when they went and picked up their checks for letting a team score 50 points on them? That should be disrespect; that you went to your owner and said, 'All right, pay me for that game I just played.' You can't look at it like that. You have to go out there and do your best. If somebody is blowing you out, you have to play harder. You have to stop them."

NEIL DIAMOND REVEALS "SWEET CAROLINE"
'SO Good, SO Good, SO Good'
He got his chance last week when he performed the song via satellite at Caroline Kennedy's 50th birthday party.
Diamond was a "young, broke songwriter" when a photo of the president's daughter in a news magazine caught his eye.
"It was a picture of a little girl dressed to the nines in her riding gear, next to her pony," Diamond recalled. "It was such an innocent, wonderful picture, I immediately felt there was a song in there."
Years later, holed up in a hotel in Memphis, Tenn., he would write the words and music in less an hour.'
"It was a No. 1 record and probably is the biggest, most important song of my career, and I have to thank her for the inspiration," he said. "I'm happy to have gotten it off my chest and to have expressed it to Caroline. I thought she might be embarrassed, but she seemed to be struck by it and really, really happy."
The tune's return to the charts leaves Diamond "speechless," he said. "That song was written 40 years ago, so I am just overwhelmed by the fact that it has returned and that, more importantly, people have taken it into their hearts for so many years."
Diamond is now at work on a new album, his second collaboration with producer Rick Rubin.
"We're both very excited about it," Diamond said. "I think it's going to be one of my best ever."
SWEET CAROLINE IN "BEAUTIFUL GIRLS"
'Sweet Caroline' by Neil Diamond
Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along
Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
But now I
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when I'm with you
Warm, touchin' warm
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh, no, no
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would

NORA HARDWICK - TOPLESS AT 102 !
ALE be damned - 102-year-old pensioner Nora Hardwick poses topless and becomes one of the oldest women ever to appear in a nude calendar.
The former-councillor, from Lincolnshire, became Miss November to raise cash for her local football team, Ancaster Athletic.
News of her picture has raced around the world - with stories as far a field in Bosnia, Australia and New Zealand.
And above we can exclusively reveal the snap that's making all the headlines.
Pub regular Nora - who covered her chest with a strategically-placed scarf - downed a small glass of whiskey before getting her kit off.
She told us: "I'd never done anything like it before - and I doubt I will again.
"I just thought 'go for it' and I'm so glad I did!"
Landlord at the Ermine Way pub, Donna Moodie, added: "Nora's such a good sport."
