Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 On The Stranger Tides Trailer

Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 Trailer


Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 On The Stranger Tides Trailer. Gorgeous merfolk, magical fountains, malicious pirates, overweight kings -- it’s all in a day’s work for Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow, who will return to theaters once more in next summer’s Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 On The Stranger Tides Trailer. Contest winners that attended the “Pirates Fans First!” party got to check out all the swashbuckling action in the first theatrical trailer for Disney’s fourth Pirates of the Caribbean on the big screen in all its 3D glory -- and now that teaser is online for everyone else to see as well. Franchise writers Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio went the Thoreau route (“Simplify, simplify”) and crafted their screenplay for On Stranger Tides as a stand-alone venture featuring Captain Jack, much like the first entry in the series, The Curse of the Black Pearl. Whereas that film revolved around villainous buccaneers cursed with immortality (being undead and all), next year’s POTC flick finds the lovable but incorrigible Jack Sparrow on a quest to avoid his inevitable demise by finding the legendary Fountain of Youth.

Along for the ride this time are series veterans Geoffrey Rush and Kevin R. McNally as Captain Barbossa and Joshamee Gibbs, respectively; newcomers Penelope Cruz as Jack’s old flame, Angelica, Ian McShane as her dad, the pirate Blackbeard, and Astrid Berges-Frisbey as a mermaid named Syrena, a lovely but mysterious sea creature who plays a pivotal role in the plot of On Stranger Tides.


Giants-Vikings Game

Posted by BlackJack On 0 comments

Giants-Vikings Game.With just minutes to go before the 7:20 p.m. game time, the television rights to tonight's Giants-Vikings game remained mired in a standoff between FOX Sports, the National Football League and ESPN.

It remains unclear whether the game will appear at all in the Hartford and New Haven markets. Attorney General Richard Blumenthal prodded the NFL to take action to assure the game would be broadcast in Connecticut.

Later, the NFL and Blumenthal were trying to broker a solution between FOX Sports and ESPN, Blumehthal said, and Blumenthal appealed to ESPN to allow FOX Sports to show the game in Connecticut.

Blumenthal said late this afternoon that he was "exploring legal options," but he did not elaborate. Earlier in the day, he sent a letter to the NFL, imploring the league to allow FOX to show the game in Connecticut.


Bears vs Patriots

Bears vs Patriots

Tom Brady has done it again. And so have the Patriots. Indeed, all those who thought that Brady and the Pats were going to have a tough time with both the Bears' defense and the Chicago weather can think again.Instead, New England dominated again, beating the Bears 36-7 to earn their 11th win over the season. The Pats also punched their playoff ticket with the win, as they will have a wild card spot at the very least.

Brady threw for 369 yards and two touchdowns, both of which came in the first half as the Pats stormed out to a 33-0 lead.With the snowflakes falling steadily in Soldier Field, the Pats opened the scoring on a short pass from Brady to Rob Gronkowski. They would pad their lead with a 26-point second quarter, which included a touchdown on a fumble recovery by Gary Guyton.

Brady's second touchdown pass came with no time left on the clock in the first half, as he hit Deion Branch on a 59-yard bomb to run the score to 33-0.That pretty much did it for the Bears. They gained just 185 total yards, and turned the ball over four times, twice on interceptions by Jay Cutler.

That makes it five in a row for the Pats, who definitely have a leg up in the chase for home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Definitely a good time to be a New Englander. In fact, you Sox fans might like to know where the Red Sox's lineup ranks on Bleacher Report's Power Rankings of Every MLB Team's Top of the Lineup.

Metrodome Collapse Video. The Detroit Lions announced that there will be no charge for admission when Ford Field hosts the postponed game between the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings at 7:20 p.m. Monday.The Detroit Lions announced that there will be no charge for admission.While there is no charge, fans will need a ticket for the game. Tickets can be obtained free of charge beginning at 9 a.m. Monday at the Ford Field box office. Anyone with a ticket stub for today’s Packers-Lions game will gain admission to the game.

All tickets will be general admission. The only fans who will have preferred seating will be ticket-holders for the originally scheduled game at Mall of America Field.The Giants-Vikings game was postponed today due to heavy snowfall. The move was forced to when the roof collapsed at Mall of America Field in Minneapolis.

The NFL reportedly also considered moving the game to Indianapolis' Lucas Oil Stadium and to TCF Bank Stadium at the University of Minnesota. But the NFL said Detroit was the best logistical fit given that Fox camera crews were already in town for the Lions’ game against the Green Bay Packers.It will be the first NFL game held on Monday night at Ford Field since the stadium opened in 2002. The Lions last hosted a Monday night game in 2001 at the Pontiac Silverdome.Vikings Interim coach Leslie Frazier said 41-year-old quarterback Brett Favre will go through a pregame workout to determine if he’s able to play.

Favre is listed as questionable after getting hit hard and slammed to the turf on his first pass of last week’s game against the Buffalo Bills.Frazier said in a conference call before the Vikings departed for Detroit.The Vikings held a short walk-through this afternoon, but Favre did not do any throwing.

From everything I’ve seen, there is still a possibility he could play, especially with an extra day


Miley Cyrus Bong-Smoking

Miley Cyrus Bong-Smoking

Miley Cyrus  turned 18 just last month, but she’s already five minutes away from a sex tape and her first trip to rehab. In the video obtained by TMZ, Cyrus is taped “tripping” at a belated birthday party at her Los Angeles home just five days after her 18th birthday. She can be seen smoking the herb salvia through a bong. Salvia, which has psychedelic qualities, is legal in California. It is often compared to the effects which a user gets from LSD. LSD, however, is man-made, whereas salvia, like marijuana, grows naturally. Both drugs contain salvinorin A.

She Said:
I’m having a little bit of a bad trip,” Cyrus says before lying down and then questions a male at the party if he’s her boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth. “Oh my God, he looks like so much like Liam,” she says, before breaking into a laughing fit. “Is that me tripping? He doesn’t look like Liam at all?
The former Hannah Montana star’s “honorary godmother,” country legend Dolly Parton, recently admitted that she’s worried about people influencing the teenage star’s behavior more than ever now that her parents, Billy Ray and Tish, are divorcing. Next Miley breaks into an impromptu rap, imitating Nicki Minaj’s verses on the Trey Songz collaboration “Bottoms Up.”


Barbara Walters Interview With Oprah

Barbara Walters Interview With Oprah

Barbara Walters’ interview with Oprah will air tonight which will highlight the end of Winfrey’s syndicated show next May and the beginning of her new cable network – OWN, The Oprah Winfrey Network. During the interview, Barbara Walters asks Oprah questions that everyone wants to know…Is she involved in a lesbian relationship with BFF Gayle King and is she still with Stedman?

Oprah Winfrey has once again stated flatly:
I’m not a lesbian.

I’m not even kind of a lesbian, the talk-show queen, 56, tells Barbara Walters in an upcoming interview on ABC. And the reason why [the rumor] irritates me is because it means that somebody must think I’m lying. That’s number one. Number two … why would you want to hide it? That is not the way I run my life.

The rumors have focused on Winfrey’s friend Gayle King. But Winfrey says that relationship is extremely close in a whole different way.

Winfrey says while choking up.
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,

Kim Kardashian Pregnant


Kim Kardashian Pregnant. Kim wants to have children with the model after being impressed by his parenting skills with daughter Nahla.A source revealed to the ever so accurate National Enquirer: "Kim was blown away by how well-mannered and well-behaved Nahla is. She thinks that's proof Gabriel is doing a terrific job parenting.

Her family's already met Gabe and given him the thumbs up. I think Kim would love to be married and pregnant by the end of next year.

However, if Kim thinks she could practice being a momma to Nahla, she'll have Halle to answer to as a source revealed to In Touch Weekly: "Halle is really struggling with Kim and Gabriel's relationship.

Amber Heard

Actress Amber Heard publicly came out on Friday, introducing her girlfriend and speaking as an “out actress” at the GLAAD at 25 event in Los Angeles. On the red carpet for the celebration, Heard, who walked with her partner, Tasya van Ree, told AfterEllen.com, “I think GLAAD is one of the many reasons that I, as a 24-year-old, can come out.
I think that organizations like GLAAD make that possible, because if it weren’t for opinions being changed, people being influenced, people being engaged to do the right thing, then there would be no prerogative for anyone to come out. Like I said, I can’t be a part of the problem. I hate the idea of a label just as much as anyone else, but I’m with who I’m with, I love who I love…


Facebook Cartoon Profile Picture

Facebook Cartoon Profile Picture

It’s Cartoon Day! Facebook Cartoon Profile Picures are taking over Facebook, especially 1990 cartoons, cartoons from the 80 s, and 1970s cartoons. Some of the best Facebook cartoon profile pics that have emerged thus far are Daphne from Scooby Doo, Judy Jetson from The Jetsons, Donald Duck, and Rugrats pictures. What cartoon character have you changed your Facebook profile picture to?

People are changing their Facebook profile pictures to cartoons through December 6th in an effort to speak out against child abuse and violence. It’s a great cause, and seeing all of these fun 1970s, 1908s, and 1990s cartoons again sure is a lot of fun!

Some critics of the popular show of support are referring to the practice as "slacktivism", meaning that people are basically lazy and only support or like things where there is no sort of "real" action required. Similar to the "Like" function on facebook, which allows people to "support" a cause without having to truly get involved or physically do anything.


Dexter Season 5 Episode 10

Posted by BlackJack On Monday, November 29, 2010 0 comments

dexter season 5 episode 10

Dexter Season 5 Episode 10 "In The Beginning, Dexter and Lumen kill the fourth of the five abusers, leaving only Jordan Chase. All signs point to him as the ringleader among the five. The latest to die, a banker named Alex, protested that he and the others would have never acted on their own, would have never abused all those women: “It’s all Jordan! He has this way.” Karma comes sharply for Alex, in this case by Lumen’s own hand as she sinks a knife into his heart, her hands adorned in the leather gloves Dexter purchased for her.

Just as Dexter discovers a possible ally in the pursuit of Lumen’s former captors, he and Lumen are forced to step down as Homicide uncovers some key evidence linked to one of their prior victims. Debra, who’s been reassigned to the Barrel Girls murders, positively identifies two more suspects in the case.

Watch Out This Video It is Free For You:

Remember how last week Dexter protested (a bit too much) to Aster and Deb that Lumen was not his girlfriend? Well, this week he obviously had a change of heart, seeing as the two of them went from kissing to shagging all in the space of two minutes.

They've been building to this moment rather slowly for several episodes now. A few episodes ago, Lumen still seemed too damaged and their relationship too imbalanced (he was obviously her protector) to make a sexual encounter believable, but tonight's episode was rather overt from the start.

All signs pointed to go the moment Dexter gave her the gloves, not to mention when he saw Lumen in her "kill outfit." Incapable of proper flirting, Dex just stared at her, smitten and struggling to speak. It was almost worthy of a teen romantic drama. Considering all the commentary about hunting in pairs, and how relieved she seemed after stabbing one of her torturer's to death, it was absolutely no surprise when they finally found a way into each other's arms.

When the big moment finally arrived at the end of the episode, the scene was heart-racing, awkward and tender, just as you'd expect between a psychopath and a victim-turned-vigilante. It's sweet good that Dexter finally, finally has someone with whom he can be completely open and himself, but how much longer can their lovefest last? With only two episodes to go in the season, it's still a big question mark in this spoiler-free recapper's mind how they will resolve this relationship. There's no room on this series for Dexter to have a sidekick lover, so it's hard to be invested in a relationship that's doomed.

Speaking of doomed relationships, this series is full of them. Deb and Quinn will likely only stay together if he doesn't discover the truth about Dexter (which seems unlikely), and LaGuerta and Batista (who lack any and all chemistry) aren't exactly the picture of connubial bliss. It's kind of twisted, but at the moment, Dexter and Lumen are the healthiest and happiest couple.

Who else squealed in delight at seeing good ol' Archie Morris (Scott Grimes, best known for his seven years on 'ER') as the missing fifth rapist? It was almost a shame he was killed off so quickly, although at least the writers gave him some extra lines before Lumen straddled and stabbed him. Of course now there is absolutely no link between Jordan and the cabal of kidnappers except for the crazy Emily Birch character, who is being manipulated by Jordan Chase.

We know she told Lumen the truth about her gang-rape at summer camp (and Jordan's former life as a fat boy named Eugene Greer). But the scene with Jordan wasn't expected. What exactly are they? Is she just the living symbol of his debut as a motivational speaker/life coach? Other than his charm, what's so irresistible about Jordan that led to his ability to convince four life-long friends to secretly torture, rape and kill? What motivates him? His fast-talking psychobabble and childhood obesity isn't enough of an explanation, but the answer will probably be revealed next week.

Peter Weller continues to steal his scenes as the shady but on-the-right-track Stan Liddy. It's not the first nor the last time someone will find out about Dexter, but we all know what happens to people who do. Weller hits all the right notes as a disgraced cop desperate to redeem himself -- no matter what the cost. And who can blame him? Dexter would be a bigger catch than the Trinity Killer for Liddy, and he's so very close.

Stampede In Cambodia

Stampede In Cambodia

Stampede In Cambodia more than 300 people were killed and hundreds injured tonight after a stampede broke out among crowds taking part in a festival in the Cambodian capital.People panicked as they tried to make their way over a densely packed bridge and many were crushed underfoot or fell over the sides during the final day of the Water festival, one of the main events of the year in Cambodia. One witness who arrived shortly after the stampede said there were "bodies stacked on bodies".

Describing the chaos as the "biggest tragedy" to strike his country since the killings under the Khmer Rouge's reign of terror in the 1970s, the prime minister, Hun Sen, said that 339 people had been killed and 329 injured. State television said at least 240 of the dead were women, according to reports from two city hospitals.Ambulances raced back and forth between the river and the hospitals for several hours after the stampede, as the dead and injured were taken away from the scene, which was littered with hundreds of shoes left behind by the living and the dead. Rescuers also looked in the darkness for the bodies of the drowned.

Amid desperate scenes at Calmette hospital, Phnom Penh's main medical facility, wards were filled to capacity with bodies as well as patients, some of whom had to be treated in hallways. One doctor said the two major causes of death were suffocation and electrocution.But despite suggestions that some of the dead had been electrocuted by the lights on the bridge, the Cambodian government insisted that no one was electrocuted. Many of the injured were badly hurt, raising the prospect that the death toll could rise as hospitals became overwhelmed.

In the third of three post-midnight live television broadcasts, the prime minister said that he had ordered an investigation and declared that Thursday would be a national day of mourning. A Cambodian embassy official in Washington said that 4 million people had descended on Phnom Penh for the three-day water festival, which marks the end of the rainy season and whose main attraction is the traditional boat races. The last race ended early on Monday evening, the last night of the holiday, and the panic started later on Koh Pich Diamond Island, a long spit of land wedged in a fork in the river, where a concert was being held. Seeking to escape the island, part of the crowd pushed on to a bridge, which also jammed up, with people falling under others and into the water.


Seattle Weather Forecast

Posted by BlackJack On 0 comments

Seattle Weather Forecasts morning has alerts for snow, wind and ice, according to The Seattle Times. Some areas will receive snow of up to three inches.The Meteorologist Dennis D'Amico of the National Weather Service says that the Seattle metropolitan area will see snow from one to three inches, low temperatures in the "teens" and winds of up to twenty-five miles an hour.

Seattle Public Schools elected to send Middle and High School Students home early Monday, rather than wait for temperatures to drop and more snow to fall.

Elementary schools were already closed for the day due to winter weather and snow throughout the greater Seattle area. Middle and high school students were dismissed at 12:35 p.m. All after-school activities were canceled.

The weather is expected to worsen Monday evening, with more snow showers expected to continue dusting the region. Snow is expected to fall heaviest south of Seattle.

However, temperatures are supposed to rapidly plummet, causing snow or slush-covered streets to turn to sheets of ice. Many Seattle students ride public transit to get to school, causing long lines of students waiting at bus stops


Tony Parker with Erin Barry

Posted by BlackJack On Thursday, November 18, 2010 0 comments


Parker, the San Antonio Spurs point guard whom Longoria filed for divorce from Wednesday after three years of marriage, confirmed in a statement that he had not filed for divorce first in Texas and had not hired a divorce attorney at all. Hardly sounds like a roller-coaster relationship, as the two are still talking.

Longoria is seeking spousal support from Parker, who recently signed a $50-million contract with the Spurs that goes through 2014.The "Desperate Housewives" actress found hundreds of text messages sent between her husband and Erin Barry, the wife of former Spurs teammate Brent Barry. The message exchange reportedly ended over the summer.

But rather than infidelity, the reason for the split was more about geography, according to an Access Hollywood source who said that, although Parker admitted texting another woman, there had been no sex involved — just flirting. "Desperate Housewives" shoots in Universal City; the Spurs take their shots in Texas, or wherever the team travels.

Everlyn Lozada's Pictures. It seems as though fame and money have a lot to do with this engagement. It seems a bit bizarre to me that a couple would decide to get married after only four months of dating. That’s not a lot of time to really get to know someone. I’m no expert on marriage, and I obviously don’t know this couple firsthand, but I don’t see this one lasting very long. It seems more like a publicity stunt for the second season of “Basketball Wives,” than an actual loving commitment. However, stranger things have happened in the Hollywood/sports world so why not celebrate good news? Congrats to the happy couple!


Leonid Meteor Shower 2010

Leonid Meteor Shower 2010

The Leonid Meteor Shower happens tonight, November 17th through the 18th. With 15 to 20 an hour, you'll be able to see a meteor streak across the sky every few minutes, though Discovery Magazine puts it at more like 20 to 30 an hour.

The best time to observe should be after midnight, when the earth is facing the incoming bits of gravel. No telescope needed, just a space far away from light pollution where you have a wide view of the sky, and maybe a lawn chair to keep you from getting a crick in your neck.

Unfortunately, the gibbous moon will be bright this year. If you're really intent on having the best view, stay up until the wee hours of the morning, when the moon sets and allows the sky to darken, around 5:15 am. The Washington Post report that the sky will be dark enough for a good show by 3 am.

The Leonid shower happens every year in November. This year's shower will be relatively tame, since Earth will be passing through a less crowded area of debris from the comet Temple-Tuttle. Previous showers showcased hundreds or thousands of meteors an hour.

Hard Knocks Jets Episode 1 Season 1

Hard Knocks Jets Episode 1 Season 1

A year ago at this time the New York Jets were not on the radar of too many pundits. And why would they be? They were coming off of a disappointing 9-7 season that saw them miss the playoffs for the 3rd time in 4 years. They had fired head coach Eric Mangini, replacing him with 1st time head coach Rex Ryan. They also had to replace quarterback Brett Favre, who after one up down season with the Jets decided to start throwing around the “retirement” word yet again in order to get his release. They boldly moved up in the draft to select QB Mark Sanchez, and then made it known he was probably going to be the starter from day one. Rookie head coach, rookie QB. A recipe for disaster, right? Not exactly. By employing a smash mouth running game that took much of the pressure off of Sanchez and relying on a league leading defense, the Jets peaked at the right time and went on a spirited playoff run that saw them end up in the AFC championship game, where they came up short against the Indianapolis Colts. Ryan himself opened a lot of eyes by basically becoming the Peter Griffin of the NFL, a fat guy with the balls and lack of tact to say anything at anytime. Being the son of infamous red ass Buddy Ryan, the man credited with building the 1985 Chicago Bears defense that is thought of by many to be the best of all time, Rex and his twin brother Rob followed their dad to the NFL. Rex won a Super Bowl ring as the Baltimore Ravens defensive line coach back in 2000 and eventually worked his way up to defensive coordinator. Rex has carved out his own identity in the NFL. While he shares a few of his father’s traits (quick wit, quicker tongue) I don’t think we’ll see him punching out an offensive coordinator on the sideline anytime soon. With a gregarious head coach and a number of eccentric players, the J-E-T-S are the perfect subject for the 2010 edition of HBO’s Hard Knocks.

A 10  Year Old Opera Singer


A 10 Year Old Opera Singer. Jackie Evancho became an hitlist to the Youtube Video for her voice nice clearly for the overnight celebrity after giving a mid boggling performance of “O Mio Babbino Caro” from Puccini’s 1918 opera “Gianni Schicci” on “America’s Got Talent” last night. The audience and the judges Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel, host Nick Cannon were all blown away when the tiny kid opened her mouth and started to sing with this amazing big and impressive voice.

The Hall of Fame Game In This Time 2010

The Hall of Fame Game In This Time 2010

The Hall of Fame Game In This Time 2010. The 2010 season unofficially kicks off at 8:00 pm ET tonight as the Dallas Cowboys take on the Cincinnati Bengals on sacred football grounds in Canton, Ohio. Although we will only see a glimpse of what these teams will look like in the regular season, scouts and coaches will be watching carefully all around the United States for young talent.

John Phillips: The Cowboys will not keep Jason Witten in the game long, and Martellus Bennett is suffering from an ankle injury. Phillips is the ultimate dump off target, which is what preseason games are mostly compiled of as far as passing is concerned. He has a large body and solid hands. He could see 5-10 passes thrown his way tonight.

Kevin Ogletree: Ogletree should see a lot of action tonight, and he better take advantage of it. Reports out of Texas are saying that Ogletree has been walking around with an unearned sense of entitlement. Ogletree will be fighting for his job tonight, after a poor start to camp.
Doug Free: Free has been the hot topic in Dallas this offseason. Set to replace the solid Flozell Adams, fans will be looking for instant success. Free managed to keep Jared Allen away from Tony Romo in the playoffs last off season, but he got plenty of help from backs and tight ends.
Robert Brewster: With the offensive line starters probably only getting a couple of drives, Brewster will get a chance to prove to the cowboys that he was worth a high draft pick. Brewster could see time at both guard and tackle. Reports from the Big D have not been promising for Brewster.

The Bengals Receivers: Terrell Owens and Jermaine Gresham are set for their Bengal debuts, and Owens matchup will be a familiar one. Chad Ochocinco could have some tricks up his bag. Last preseason he kicked, maybe this preseason he'll play quarterback. Matt Jones will look to make the most of his second chance in the NFL. Youngsters Andre Caldwell and Jerome Simpson also have something to prove. It will be interesting to see if Jordan Shipley can live up to the training camp hype.

Andre Smith: Smith got a late start last season, and it will be interesting to see how much he has improved in the off season. He showed flashes, but he had too many mistakes, and nothing would make the Bengals happier if he showed progress. Smith should play at least two drives tonight.

Antwan Odom: Odom became the Bengals top defensive player last season, until he suffered a season ending injury. He is looking forward to playing, but Marvin Lewis will defiantly put a snap count on him.

Brandon Ghee: If anyone here didn't see him take down Dez Briscoe, you might want to search Brandon Ghee in the search box on the upper-right of the site.

Pacman Jones: Jones should see a lot of playing time tonight - at returner and cornerback. I wouldn't even be surprised if he was featured in an offensive formation. Jones has not shown much as of late, and tonight would be a perfect time to get on the coaches good side.
Carlos Dunlap and Michael Johnson: Both players have bust written all over them, but they have some raw talent that could be turned into something nice. Both players could see a lot of playing time tonight.

New Oil Spill Found in Gulf

New Oil Spill Found in Gulf

New Oil Spill Found in Gulf. An Oil Spill has sprung with leak up in the Gulf after the Boat Hit an Oil. The Spill has been spotted about 10 Miles South of Lafitte, Louisiana near the Bayou St. Dennis.

There is a pretty good amount of oil flowing there,” said Roberts, though the exact amout is unknown. However, reports now say that mostly natural gas is spewing from the well.

The Coast Guard said the tow boat Pere Ana C. struck the wellhead near Mud Lake early Tuesday. The boat was moved to LaRose after the incident. No injuries were reported.
Chief Petty Officer John Edwards said a strip of oil 50 yards wide and a mile long was spotted on the water near the well.
Lt. Brian Sattler said a helicopter was dispatched to survey the area, which is accessible only by boat.

Sattler said state and federal agencies were alerted and authorities were hiring someone to stop the leak.

Mud Lake is part of a network of bayous and lakes north of Barataria Bay, an ecologically sensitive coastal estuary where authorities have been fighting waves of oil from the Deepwater Horizon accident.

Justin Bieber was Arrested

Justin Bieber was Arrested. Justin Bieber and the 17 year old was alleged victim were chosen to enter the closet and when they emerged the alleged victim was in tears. She immediately contacted police and filed molestation charges against Justin Bieber.

According to reports it all started when Justin Bieber was hosting a sleep over for a few friends and fans at his mom’s house. Apparently at around 1:00am the group decided to play a game called “7 minutes in heaven”. 7 minutes in heaven is a kissing game in which 2 people are selected to go into a closet and do whatever they like for 7 minutes.

According to sources Justin Bieber was taken into custody and booked for sexual acts on a minor. He was then transported to county lockup to await trial.


Justin Bieber has various gang affiliations, especially with the Crips, so he should have no problems in prison. Let us hope these rumors about him being a degenerate pedophile are proven false in court, but for right now it does not look good for Bieber.

Phoebe Prince Suicide Shows Needs For Online Gambling Regulations

Posted by BlackJack On Thursday, July 22, 2010 0 comments

Phoebe Prince Suicide Shows Needs For Online Gambling Regulations. Online gambling is a billion dollar industry in the US, yet the government has turned their back on those who take part in this entertainment activity. Instead of addressing the problem, the US government has chosen to create the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006.

The law addresses Internet gambling only with the premise that financial institutions are now responsible to deny online gambling transactions. The law, itself, does not even clarify what are illegal games of chance that are supposedly illegal in the country.

One of the issues that children have faced for decades is to show their responsibility in taking part in adult activities. One of those activities in online gambling, and currently, the US government is leaving it up to gaming sites that are located offshore to police themselves. That means that many children are circumventing the age limits required to gamble online.

Representative Barney Frank has introduced legislation that would overturn the UIGEA and regulate online gambling in the country. One of the areas Rep. Frank is looking to clean up is the amount of youth participation at the Internet gaming sites. Technology now exists to ensure that underage gamblers are kept out, but without regulation, current gaming sites do not need to adhere to any standards regarding the technology.

The Internet is exactly as advertised, a super highway of information. Nobody wants to see more government intrusion, but lawmakers on both sides of the aisle admit that there needs to be some oversight online.

It is tragedies like that of Prince that sometimes lead to changes in procedure at a federal level, and online gambling regulations would be a start towards keeping future generations of children safe from the new-found dangers of the Internet.


Firestick Plant Can Takes Down

Firestick Plant  Can Takes Down


Firestick Plant Takes Down Pastor Rick Warren. After getting some of the funk from the “Blinding Tree” into his eyes, Warren took to twitter, asking for prayers from friends, family and members of the Saddleback Church where he serves as a Pastor.

Firestick Plant Takes Down Pastor Rick Warren. It’s not uncommon for such a sap related problem to arise , thus the Firestick Plant being nicknamed the “Blinding Tree.” Clearly, others have dealt with the pain.

Generally the sap burns and stings like the dickens, but when flushed with enough water and “cried out,” it begins to lose its potency and all things return to normal. Yeah, it’s probably like getting hit with pepper spray, or that stuff Ninjas use to blow in the eyes of a foe.

Unfortunately for Warren, the effects were prolonged, and he was without his eyesight–struggling with severe pain. The pain was so debilitating that he was zipped to the hospital because he couldn’t articulate to his wife what had happened. He was eventually released, given ointments to help with the recovery, and after about 24 hours of suffering, he was able to finally get his eyes open without excruciating result.

 Firestick Plant INJURES Pastor Rick Warren


Pastor Rick Warren was briefly hospitalized due to an eye-injury that he suffered while gardening at home.

Firestick Plant INJURES Pastor Rick Warren. Warren's spokesman Larry Ross said the sap of a firestick plant got into Warren's eyes when he wiped his brow while gardening. The sap can cause temporary blindness, although Ross said Warren can see.

The 56-year-old pastor was treated overnight and released Tuesday from Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo. On Thursday, he sent a message to his Twitter followers asking for their prayers.

"My eyes were severely burned," Warren wrote. "Excruciating pain."

He is expected to make a full recovery.

Warren is the author of the multimillion-selling book "Purpose Driven Life," and founder of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest in Orange County.


Obama Signs Unemployment Extension

Obama Signs Unemployment Extension


Obama Signs Unemployment Extension. President Obama signed Legislation Yesterday on Thursday extending jobless benefits for 2.5 Million the Unemployed Americans, with a long partisan battle. The House passed the measure Yesterday, the day after the Senate.

Obama Signs Unemployment Extension. The law extends unemployment insurance through November for out-of-work Americans who have not yet exhausted up to 99 weeks of aid. Benefits would be retroactive to late May, when the previous extension expired. Jobless benefits vary from state to state but typically expire after 26 weeks.

A Republican filibuster held up the bill until two Maine senators crossed party lines to end the debate. Most Republicans contended that the $33.9-billion measure should be paid for with spending cuts rather than tacked onto the national debt. Democrats said the 9.5% national jobless rate was an emergency and thus exempt from budget-offset

Infowars The Obama Deception Censored


Infowars The Obama Deception Censored. Alex Jones is on high-alert after someone managed to compromise the “ChangeDaChannel” You Tube account and criminally remove the most-viewed version of “The Obama Deception” available online, which had more than 6.5 million views and whose URL link ranked among the top of all “Obama”.

The channel’s owner was tipped-off about the breach, and was subsequently able to change the password and prevent further deletions of Alex Jones and other patriot documentaries. Both he and members of the Infowars staff believe the video could have only been pulled from behind the scenes at Google or by a government-level cybersecurity admin with access to YouTube records, as the passwords were carefully guarded and unlikely to be guessed at.

Lebron James Knicks

Lebron James Knicks



The Knicks are back," Amar'e Stoudemire said when he agreed to sign a five-year, $100 million contract.

But Amar'e is wrong. The Knicks are not back; they are just a bit more respectable.


Lebron James Knicks. Amar'e can't can't carry a team by himself. He needs certain pieces around him like he had in Phoenix, such as a point guard who has great vision, can run and gun, and run the pick and roll with him, or else he won't be as effective. He had that point guard in Steve Nash and was surrounded with great shooters, which is why the Suns played such good basketball for so long and Amar'e looked like one of the best power forwards in the league.

But Amare is not necessarily ineffective without a great point guard, because he is still one of the best power forwards in the league and a nightmare for defenses. When he gets that player that can set him up, then he is one of the most dangerous players in the league.

The Knicks would have gotten that player in LeBron James, but now it is looking unlikely and one Eastern Conference official is saying James will stay in Cleveland or go to Miami. Tony Parker was rumored to go the Knicks, but that is looking like it won't happen. Raymond Felton is a target for the Knicks, but he is just not a top-tier point guard. Monta Ellis, however, could work as well.


Kobayashi Arrested After Joey Chestnut

Kobayashi Arrested After Joey Chestnut. Takeru "Tsunami" Kobayashi was arrested Sunday after attempting to hop on stage following a rival's win in the 95th annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Competition.

Joey "Jaws" Chestnut celebrated the Fourth of July by downing 54 hot dogs in 10 minutes. Moments later, Kobayashi, who did not compete due to contractual issues with Major League Eating, tried to jump on stage wearing a "Free Kobi" shirt, but police arrested him. The 32-year-old eater won the competition six years in a row before Chestnut bested him in 2007.

Ironman Coeur D Alene

Ironman Coeur D Alene. These Idaho communities have embraced this race and there is good evidence that Ironman has been adopted into the identity and culture of the host communities. Ironman banners hang from street-posts and the local businesses. Welcoming signs and daily Ironman related articles pop-up in the local papers days before the race. An increasing number of local volunteers return the following year, shedding the volunteer t-shirt and exchanging it for a race number. And yearly, over 3,000 enthusiastic volunteers from the community proudly cater to the needs of the athletes on race day.

Every year about 2,400 athletes from around the world make their way to the Northwest state of Idaho to test themselves on this demanding course. The two-loop swim takes place in picturesque Lake Coeur d'Alene, starting and finishing on the sandy beaches of City Park. The double-looped bike course works its way through Coeur d'Alene and the neighbouring communities to the north. It is deceivingly challenging and makes participants suffer if they haven't paced themselves on the first loop.


Philadelphia Union Opening New with the Stadium

Philadelphia Union Opening New with the Stadium



Philadelphia Union Opening New with the Stadium. Philadelphia Union opened their brand new PPL Stadium with a pulsating 3-1 win over Sounders FC in Chester, Pennsylvania. 18,500 people packed into the new field on the banks of the Delaware River and saw second half goals from Sebastien Le Toux, Fred, and Danny Mwanga cancel out a first half effort from Pat Noonan.

The home side now have their third win of the season and join DC United on ten points. Sounders remain on 15, five ahead of Chivas USA the only side behind them in the west.

Sounders were awarded an extremely questionable penalty from a make-up call, they scored a goal from a fortunate deflection and Kasey Keller landed some considerable glove on Alejandro Moreno's head at a corner, similar to offences that have seen red cards in the World Cup. Their last piece of luck was that this match only finished 3-1 to Philadelphia Union.

Even with three pieces of good fortune, nothing could disguise the conclusion that the expansion club from Pennsylvania were superior in every department of the game except goalkeeping. Kasey Keller's heroics and bravery illustrated that, contrary to his own self doubts before the interval, he still has what it takes to perform at this level.

According to Donovan:
Bianca helped him to grow up and get his act together, says the Washington Post. He credits family, coaches and therapy that made him look at himself in an honest way. Learning about himself made him grow up and earn the role of a leader on the team, and made it possible for him to score the brilliant play today, he thinks.

Miley Cyrus Upskirt. Miley Cyrus can break Emma Watson's record for a vag flash or nipple slip this year. Watson flashed her pubic hair while celebrating her 18th birthday two years ago. So it is going to be a hard record to break. Cyrus is busy trying to prove that she is an adult with her fake lesbian kisses and new song and video I Can't Be Tamed. And there is no better way to say "Look Daddy I'm all grown up!" by having your nude pictures spread all over the internet. I have a feeling it won't be long until little Miley proves to the world that she is all grown up!

The Travel Channel’s hit show Man vs. Food was in Syracuse earlier this week to film an episode for its upcoming third season.

TCU Baseball Game. The Florida Gators are the first team in the 2010 College World Series. Seven teams will join Florida in the 2010 College World Series, and they will all play for the 2010 Baseball National Championship starting next Saturday Game.Florida came into the 2010 NCAA Baseball Championships as the No. 3 seed playing out of the Gainesville Regional and Super Regional. Now Florida will get the chance to compete against the best college baseball has to offer this year in the 2010 College World Series. The rest of the field will be decided on Sunday and Monday, as the first three Super Regionals are tied at 1-1, and the other brackets Super Regionals head to Game 2 on Sunday afternoon.

Florida was able to defeat Miami in two games, winning 7-2 on Friday in Game 1 and then 4-3 on Saturday in Game 2. Now Florida has to wait for the other Super Regionals to be completed before knowing their next opponent, but with the top two teams still alive, it looks like they could probably be the No. 3 seed in the College World Series. Ending up as the No. 3 seed means that they would be placed in bracket two, and would get to play their first game of the 2010 College World Series on Sunday, June 20th. That game is set for 11 a.m. PST (2 p.m. EST) on ESPN as well as ESPN3.com. Seeded No. 3 in the College World Series would have them playing the No. 6 seed. If either Arizona State or Texas (or both) lose their Super Regionals, it would bump up the seed that Florida receives.

Wisconsin Unemployment


Wisconsin Unemployment. Wisconsin continues to borrow federal money at a record pace to help replenish state’s unemployment fund. The state Department of Workforce Development confirmed that Wisconsin’s unemployment debt has reached $1.42 billion. The projected deficit will be nearly $2.9 billion by the end of 2011.

Wisconsin unemployment benefits pays an average of $290 a week to the jobless. It is funded by employer taxes. Once the fund is depleted, Wisconsin taxpayers could see higher taxes and lower benefits.

Wisconsin’s state unemployment rate dropped in April. Officials say 16,400 jobs were added in the largest one-month jump in more than 14 years. Department of Workforce Development Secretary Roberta Gassman said the evidence signaled the state’s continued economic recovery. Currently, the state unemployment rate is at 8.5%, down 0.3% from March. It’s well below nation’s unemployment rate at 9.9%.

Did Justin Bieber Died?

Did Justin Bieber Died?


Did Justin Bieber Died?. Justin Bieber is alive, he’s not dead, he didn’t die. He’s fine. One person decides to create an online celebrity death hoax and the rest of the web begins to panic. I know it can sometimes be hard to decide which rumors are real and which ones to believe when celebrity death seem to be shocking us left and right.

But here are a few tips on how to find out whether or not a celebrity has actually died. Consider the source. Where did you read the story at? If it’s not from a very crediable site like CNN, People Magazine, E Online, or even yes, TMZ then it’s probably not true!

Remember that photoshop does exsist and people will use it! They will use it to make it look like the news is being reported by the crediable online sources. So check out the website for real and don’t believe what you read! Justin Bieber isn’t dead, he did not die.

The fact that "Justin Bieber died" is not the #1 hottest search on the internet tells me good news. The young talented singer is clearly the victim of another vicious internet rumor that probably started on Twitter or from a fake news report. There's no news anywhere that Justin Bieber is dead right now. So for all intents and purpose Justin Bieber is still quite alive.
