TODD PALIN MAY BE CONSIDERING DIVORCE....

Rumors trailing the net right now say that Todd Palin is Filing for Divorce.The National Inquirer claims that Todd is “fed up” with all of the back and forth drama that have surrounded Palin ever since she ran for Vice President. This new book has  fueled  the whole thing. Todd is reportedly ready to get out.
But the salacious secrets in The controversial book could do more than just end her marriage. Many Tabloids have reported that Palin’s advisers have told the Him to rethink his White House Dream. Since they  smell  that a presidential bid would ignite crowd trailing back to their past to dig.
I have a bad feeling about this and i feel for Sarah and Todd alike.....waiting on Sarah!

If it is true then it is really going to be hard on them!

NEW DEFINITION OF F.I.F.A! this is really funny.

I saw this recently and it caught my attention..Arsenal fans will not be loving this! they have had enough headache already. I wonder who sat down on this.

 FIFA = Football Isn't For Arsenal.... do you agree? has it gotten this bad?

SHOCKING...35 dead bodies!

 News like this scare me and it is horrifying. 35 people....wow! This not a movie...it is live in mexico.
News like this scare me and it is horrifying. 35 people....wow! This not a movie...it is live in mexico.Associated Press reported that Suspected drug traffickers drove two trucks to a main avenue in a Mexican Gulf coast city and dumped 35 bodies beneath an overpass during rush hour as gunmen stood guard and pointed their weapons at frightened drivers. TErrified and horrified who were trapped motorists trapped at the scene used cell phones calling and sending Twitter messages warning others to avoid the area on a thoroughfare near the biggest shopping mall in Boca del Rio.The gruesome scene  on Tuesday was a big escalation in drug violence in Veracruz state, which is on an important route for drugs and Central American migrants heading north.The big drug cartel known as  Zetas drug cartel has been battling other gangs for control of the state. This is truly a Mexico horror. A bad image for a country battling drug loads and gangs.

FREEDOM IS PRICELESS...ask JOSH,SHANE and SARAH

Freedom is priceless....when you ask Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer both 29 years old, am sure they will nod thier heads..... They have been freed. Reports indicate that they have experienced total freedom. happy for them. The two Americans arrested two years ago while hiking along the Iran-Iraq frontier and imprisoned on espionage charges had been released.Mr. Bauer, Mr. Fattal and a third American hiker, Sarah E. Shourd, were arrested near northern Iraq’s border with Iran in July 2009 by Iranian border guards, who contended they had intentionally trespassed.Ms. Shourd was released on $500,000 bail in September 2010 with help from Omani officials — also just before the annual General Assembly meeting — and returned to the United States as reported by the NY Times. They will definitely have stories to tell...experience they will not forget in a hurry.

 Great news for friends and families.....Banged abroad as Discovery Channel puts it in their program of foreigners ordeal abroad.

GIAN PIERO GASPERINI...bye bye

After a poor start, no win in 5 games...our coach says bye-bye to Inter Milan....i guess he heads somewhere else.The club announced his departure a day after Inter's humiliating 3-1 loss to newly promoted Novara. That left Inter with one point from three Serie A games and winless under Gasperini.

The 2010 Italian champions lost 1-0 to Turkish side Trabzonspor in the Champions League last week, and were beaten by AC Milan in the Italian Super Cup to begin Gasperini's short reign.

"Results dictate everything," said Gasperini, who took over in June. "I really regret it, and I think everyone regrets it."

Inter thanked Gasperini for his work and said it was sorry things did not work out.

WHO IS THE ROGUE.... SARAH OR JOE?

Sarah and Joe (not Joe the Plumber)

I watched  and carefully listened to JOE McGINNISS (author of THE ROGUE: Searching for the real Sarah Palin) on Piers Morgan Tonight on CNN yesterday (21 September 2011) and it was clear that Joe was not going to be the rogue. He fiercely defended allegations of spying on the Palins and basing his stories on hear says....He stood his ground and will not let Piers put words in  his mouth.  In all these book drama, nothing seems to be a lie, there facts backing it as the author says and i think the reader draws inference, whatever you take from the book is entirely your doing.He said he and his family have received death threats and he thinks people are blowing the whole think over. Since Sarah Palin is not saying anything we will have to wait to be sure who the rogue is...if there is really any among these two.
But what is the big deal? i guess....being a politician, you have to deal with your past...someone has to launder it. The book has been published and it has had some knocks. NY Times criticized  it "for the use of unnamed sources and as having an agenda". I bet the book will sell because you have to read it to be sure what you are thinking.

POSH and her heels....

she is really trying with those shoes...how does she do it? am surprised. She knows how to work heels

is this sexy?

seriously i do not find this pics sexy... Bryan looks like he is trying too hard on this cover and that armpit? more photo shopping please.

LEILA LOPES: Fresh Scandal

Miss Leila Lopez could have serious scandal trailing her. It will be a shame, after all the tongue lashing Miss France gave her, over how she didn't deserve to win..

The Miss Universe Organization is investigating claims that Lopes falsified documents during the Miss Angola UK pageant earlier this year. The English competition, which she won, helped Lopes reach the Miss Universe pageant in Brazil this month.
 The International Business Times online reports that:
'Argentine newspaper Infobae alleged that Lopes, with help from a man named Charles Mukano, participated in the Miss Angola UK pageant despite the fact that she lived in Angola, and not the United Kingdom, which is a violation of the rules. Mukano is also said to have helped Lopes obtain documents claiming she was a business management student at an English university.
The report goes as far as to say that Lopes might have bribed British judges to ensure a win.
 Lopes could be disqualified and banished from the universal kingdom if the allegations prove to be true'.

Just hoping it is not true...it will be a major scandal....really love this lady, am hoping it is  a rumour!

MISS SYLVIA NDUKA: Please step on it!

After her newest stunning photos, a lot of Nigerians are still not convinced that she is a true rep of the Total Nigerian Woman. Her Intelligence and make up regime has come under serious criticism. Reading some of the comments online about her makes me laugh out loud...it is obvious many people don't believe she deserved the crown in the first place. Even though the queen doesn't seem to care, she has many Facebook faithfuls who constantly praise her but am hoping they all vote for her. Here are some pics...

No doubt she is a pretty lady and the pictures have been seriously Photoshopped but am certain she can do more. Her response to the questions on her miss world profile page are shallow and gives her zero personality. On the world stage, she has to improve because that is what counts, your IQ! your intelligence goes a long way. She seem to have repented of her huge red lip stick fever but her obsession with long weaves doesn't work for me. our queen can do more with a packed hair and less make up, that gives her a clean and sophisticated look. Her comments on Nigeria being peaceful and that natural resource grammar is out of place. Her future ambition response is pretending. She didn't quite understand what describing yourself meant. What is worse, her personal motto, hobbies needs serious brushing. If this is what the rest of the world will be voting for, then i am afraid. I don't wish her bad and i really want the crown to come back but the truth must be told. She may be cool around here and we can deal with it but on the word stage it is a whole different thing altogether. Sophie Gemal even with her intelligent answer could not go so far in the Miss Universe contest, what then do we say about Miss World? While most of us may not be Beauty specialist and may not be pageant judges, we know one or two things and i believe the queen can do more. Controversies have been trailing her since she won the crown but in all these she has to listen to some of this criticisms and learn...perhaps from Sophie Gemal.She should stop listening to all those that say yes to her always, it doe not help. We want her to be Miss world and to prove her critics wrong, she must listen.

Here are some comments on line:
 Hello, seriouisly I still prefer Sophie Gemal, this Miss is ok quite charming not such a wow beauty. She's an average beauty. There's no "WOW' about her really, but she's looking much better in these photos than how she looked at MBGN.

Maybe I'm blind, but can someone please look @ the 3rd picture from the top, please tell me dats NOT a pipe sticking out from btwn her legs, pls say it aint so!

 "for example,future ambition-NGO.I kind of NGO.pls research more and seek GOD’s WISDOM.luck luck.go bring back d crown".

 "My goodness sylva bird and the organizes of MBGN should be ashamed of themselves she is pretty no doubt about that but so are thoes latina and european girls what makes you stand out is your brains and your personality i do not see any brains in thoes answers up there i think sophia gamal had more personality than her. and please what is it with the weaves its too much"

 "How do they pick beauty queens these days? Do I just have 2 have a fair spotless skin, be tall and slim and wear a long weave? if a secondary school student fills out a questionaire like this she should be flogged. Personal Motto do ur thing there is no time.No hope 4 Nigeria".
 "For goodness sakes, these pictures look highly unprofessional, whats with the hair (flying all about with the updo hair style) Silver bird, please do learn to package your products well. This pictures are just not doing the magic, also the question and answer aspect is dammmmmn to shallow, she doesn’t not need to speak grammar, but she should be well groomed to answer questions professionally, its a learning process. For goodness sake we can forgive two baba, when he uses his slang ‘No time or nothing dey hapen’ but certainly not in this case, i take personal exception that such should be posted on the net. haba, prove us wrong that this was not all about “arrangee”

 "Future Ambition: to establish an NGO?! Wharraheck. She seems vapid and empty to me. She’s going to be competing with prettier and smarter girls. One whould think Silverbird will take the pains to groom her properly. NGO? what kind of NGO? she likes to research- research what? What areas of human endeavour or even animal behaviour does she find interesting enough to research on? Nigeria is a peaceful country, full stop? This girl must have come from the moon not to have heard of boko haram, the kidnappings etc going on in Nigeria. Nigeria definitely has its selling points and peaceful;ness is definitely not one of them at this point in time. Haaaaaa. Miracles still happen sha. PSCHEW!

 "Too shallow for me liking… Future ambition… to open an NGO, blahhh, pls tell the truth, like I wish to further my studies to the Masters level, have a great job in… and hopefully opening an NGO with what I have earned and help the less privileged. How many pple nowadays just want to “HELP THE LESS PRIVILEGED” PLS!!!!!!!!!!!!

THEY ARE JUST FUNNY..... Wishing her all the best! Pictures: Google/Facebook

I find This very revealing.....anyone can go broke!

Chris McAlister and Lewis Brown

I suppose anybody can be broke! Three-time Pro Bowl corner back Chris McAlister(notes) has only been out of the game for a year, and already, he's telling the court system that he's broke. McAlister is locked up in a child support battle with his ex-wife Marlene, and is trying to get his child support payments lowered. He currently owes her $11,000 per month. In documents filed to the court, claims he can't pay her because he doesn't have any money. From TMZ: He has been out of the game only one year and he is already broke....am wondering who he is listening to or what goes on in his mind. Money has wings and it can fly....you had better believe it.In 2004, he signed a seven-year, $55 million contract.He was released after five years of the contract, even though it is impossible to say he completely squandered $55 million. He has a serious partying Habit and it is clear he did squander plenty. The signing bonus was reportedly $10 million, and it also included a $7.5 million for 2005. The year before he signed the contract, he made almost $6 million. The last two years of the $55 million contract. That is a lot of money. Or .....is He saying the truth? is he really broke? Hmmmmm.

Lewis Brown, Faded Basketball Prodigy dies Homeless....Hmm! that is really a sad end. What went wrong? He reportedly died on the same street he lived...really sad.He has been living on the sidewalks for the past 10 years. He was 56, a former high school and college basketball prodigy. " The NY Times reported:"That was on Tuesday. But Wednesday, around 6 a.m., Mr. Brown, breathless and frantic, was pleading for someone to call an ambulance. By the time help arrived, Mr. Brown — 300 pounds, 6 feet 11 inches — was lying on the ground. A half-hour of efforts by four paramedics — as his neighborhood friends shouted: “Come on, Big Lew! You can make it” — could not save him. For Mr. Brown — a star high school center who once seemed destined for a spot in the N.B.A. — all that was left on Thursday was a Staples shopping cart carrying a few of his possessions: a pair of sneakers, a blanket, a laminated copy of a New York Times article from this year that detailed his sad story of decline, bitterness, drug arrests and missed opportunities. The remainder of his belongings — a mattress, some tattered clothes — had been put into a Dumpster.

Throughout the day, people who had known Mr. Brown, 56, from the neighborhood, where he would wash windows and talk about his lost basketball past in Compton and at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, stopped as they learned of his death. Tony Chauncey, a Time Warner Cable worker, said he had seen him last month and told him that he was going to a hospital to be checked for a reappearance of cancer" Really sad for such a man's life who was stole, life is fragile. I pray he finds rest where he is now.

Sarah Palin Vs Glenn Rice.....or is it pure American politics?????

Our Hockey Mum is now on the hot seat....she has been bashed left, right and center for all the wrong reasons. From her abstinence message to who she has always made us believe she was, some even joked saying they suspected she liked black guys all along!. Maybe Sarah heath is different from Sarah Palin. Thanks to Glen Rice....who blew open a can of worms...how true this is, lets wait for Sarah's version. This is Politics at work, make sure your hands are not dirty when you want to run in power.....there are people paid to launder your past and be sure they find no dirt. Pit-bull with lipstick?????

CROWN YOUR OWN MISS UNIVERSE!

Take a good look at these two women, and please help me crown your own miss Universe. Ms France has said all the wrong things about Ms Angola. She was quoted saying that Ms Leila Lopes hardly wore make up and often Jeans. She was reserved and Lacking personality.....tempted to think she is going the racist way but point is, black is beautiful and even better. If at 25 a woman can still look that good, i imagine the nearest future. Black is better. By now Ms Thilleman would have gotten over her self,. Did she think she would have won? Alyssa Campanella remains the prettiest if the whites and if she didn't win....then i was not expecting anyone else.
