According to People magazine (which means it's totally true) Jay-Z and Beyonce applied for a marriage licence in Scarsdale, N.Y yesterday. The license is valid for 60 days. So let's think, Beyonce finished up her tour, but she is shooting a movie, and Jay-Z is on tour with Mary J. Blige. When the hell are they going to have time to have a wedding? (And you know Ms. Texas likes things big and tacky, so there will be no eloping) But then again they are always working, so I guess there is really no time like the present. If they decided to get married, I really hope they cut out all that secretive crap. It's ridiculous enough that they have been dating for 6 thousand years, and are still coy about their relationship, but once they get married that little game will just become sad. I understan

Now, there are allegations that another product considered sacred by many has been subjected to price fixing: chocolate. Government Investigations - Hershey's, Mars, Nestle, and other chocolate makers were accused in recently unsealed Canadian court documents of secretly meeting to discuss prices at industry conventions and restaurants, several reports indicated. According to the reports, the U.S. DOJ antitrust division is also investigating. The conspiracy allegedly began in February 2002, and continued through most of 2007.

Eric Ervin, a lawyer who worked with Britney Spears during her teenage years, has made the claim that Britney Spears’s wholesome “saving herself” image as a teenager was a total “pr blitz” because she in fact supposedly lost her virginity at 14 to her then boyfriend Reg Jones, reports US.You know, 14 is a really young age and everything like that, but surprisingly enough it’s a lot more common than I once thought. Not saying it’s right, I’m saying its common. And, I would imagine it’s even more common amongst young girls living in the south and even more common if the girl has an older brother, but let’s not get down to useless details. Britney Spears lost her virginity at 14 and who can honestly say they’re surprised?

Former Culture Club singer Boy George has been charged with false imprisonment after allegedly chaining a male escort to the wall of his London flat. The 47-year-old 80’s pop star, real name George O’Dowd - was charged on earlier this week over the incident which took place at his flat in Shoreditch, East London, in April this year (07).

Demonoid, the very popular torrent tracker, has allegedly been taken down by CRIA (Canadian Recording Industry Association) as users have noticed that both the tracker and the website have been down for at least the last 24 hours. Although Demonoid and CRIA have yet to deny or confirm the reports it is definitely a possibility that Demonoid's new Canadian ISP shut the site down after being pressured by CRIA. Recently, the ISP said it would pull the plug on Demonoid if it received complaints.This would be the second time in recent memory that Demonoid has had major downtime, the last time being when it was still based in the Netherlands. The Dutch anti-piracy group BREIN asked the web host Leaseweb to take Demonoid down and hand over the admin's personal information but Demonoid relocated to Canada before anything could come of it. It seems likely now that Demonoid will have to relocate again, or stay offline and be another huge blow to the BitTorrent community.Source:TF

Something is clearly in the water supply. Not only do liberals want to ban fast food, but now they are arresting 70-year-old great-grandmothers for having brown lawns. Yes, Betty Perry was cited by Officer James Flygare of the police's Neighborhood Preservation Unit for failing to water her lawn.“Perry refused to give her name to the officer and, when Flygare tried to stop her from going back inside her house, she reportedly tripped and injured her nose.” Are we living in the Soviet Union? What kind of nonsense is this? Why are tax dollars going toward a “Neighborhood Preservation Unit?” Again, these bureaucratic nightmares are getting out of control.There was a really simple solution to this situation. If Betty Perry’s neighbors wanted her brown lawn green, they should have knocked on her door and offered to water her lawn for a small fee or for free. If she refused, that’s too bad; it is her property. If elitist liberals want to argue that it lowers the property

Police has arrested the mother of two girls, ages 5 and 8, who allegedly stabbed them to death at their mobile home about 30 miles outside of Detroit.  Sheriff Mark Hackel said “It’s an extremely horrific scene,” which is about the only way to describe it when innocent children are involved. The mother’s sister called the police on Sunday after she had visited the home.  The sister said that when she got to the home the door was already opened, and when she called for her sister she came to the door and said that she had harmed the children. Not only were the two kids found dead, but three dogs and a mouse were also found stabbed to death.  Police have not identified the woman arrested but did say that she is cooperating with authorities. There is nothing more I can say than that this is a sick, sick crime!

According to Janis Karpinski, the former U.S. Army Brigadier General who run the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, Defence Minister Donald Rumsfeld sanctioned the abuse of detainees at the notorious prison. In an interview with Spanish newspaper El Pais Karpinski said she had seen a letter with the Minister's name printed under it and a written signature above the name, apparently Rumsfeld's signature, which authorised the use of harsh interrogation methods as sleep deprivation, making detainees stay for a long time and having them sit in stress positions.

Newspapers on both coasts are reporting that Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) chief Stephen L. Johnson ignored his own staff's unanimous recommendations when he refused to allow California to set its own CO2 tailpipe emissions standards. The EPA ruling means that California-- and all the states that adopted The Golden State's air quality standards-- will not be able to trump the new fuel economy mandates [almost] specified in the Energy Bill. "The decision set in motion a legal battle that EPA's lawyers expect to lose and demonstrated the Bush administration's determination to oppose any mandatory measures specifically targeted at curbing global warming pollution," the Washington Post proclaimed, sweeping aside the 1000-page Energy Bill's CO2-diminishing provisions. The LA Times was quick to jump on the "we wuz robbed" bandwagon. "The head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ignored his staff's written findings in denying
