Mary-Kate is certainly making headlines this week! The more gothic half of the
Olsen Sisters made her debut on Weeds on Monday night and now, she's endured a
breakup with her long distance love, Max Snow. From our friends at Crabbie's
Hollywood:
Chris Crocker's "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE" video has already been seen over 2 million times and it hasn't even been up for 48-hours. Chris has already spoken to
Howard Stern, ABC News and he's scheduled for CNN, The View as well as other
radio stations. People are skeptical in believing that Chris' tears are real.
Fred Durst and David Arquette were hard at work last night filming a new show,
that’s plenty under wraps, at the Viper Room in West Hollywood! Actor Jason
Hervey from “The Wonder Years” is also involved in the project!
As a source tells Us, "Their breakup has been a long time coming." But that
doesn't mean the former sweethearts are feuding. Panettiere tells Us, "We are
still very close friends and talk to each other frequently. We appreciate and
support each other's careers." (Colletti's rep could not be reached for
comment.)
Oh lord, this sounds stupid because it was probably completely avoidable. I
think I'm understanding this correctly...Joe and Ashlee Simpson, Pete Wentz and
their entourage were attempting to exit the Decaydance/GQ party at the Mirage's
Jet nightclub, when certain parties of their entourage were barred from doing so
by a Vegas bodyguard.
Stephanie Tanner is pregnant. Former ‘Full House’ star/newlywed Jodie Sweetin is
expecting a baby with her husband Cody Herpin.
Nick Lachey, Wilmer Valderrama and Nicky Hilton are going into business
together. The three Hollywood hotties are opening a steak house at the Luxor
hotel in Las Vegas called “The Company”. The restaurant is set to open in a
couple months. We wish you the best in your new adventure.
Kelly Osbourne gets a big hug from her Mom Sharon and Dad Ozzy at the opening
night of Chicago! After dropping some weight and preparing for this role for
months, Kelly nailed it!
Well we aren't laughing at Britney for a few moments - because now we are laughing at you.
X17 can confirm that Britney is leaving her temporary residence in Beverly Hills
for this $12 million dollar mansion in Malibu. We first saw her looking at this
property back in May, but now the house is fully furnished and ready for her to
move in! The move represents a real change for Britney, as the large estate is
incredibly isolated. Situated in the hills, it's actually closer to Zuma Beach
than Malibu Beach, far away from the Sunset strip. This looks like the ideal
place for Britney to raise her adorable boys and we couldn't be happier for her!
Miley, whose "Hannah Montana 2" album debuted earlier this summer, told Cheryl
about how excited she was to celebrate: "I'm about to leave for tour, I'm going
to miss my friends [so I'm excited to] just sit with them, talk with them, just
catch up, that'll be the best thing."
TMZ has learned that Francis, King of the Boob Flash, has offered Hudgens
$500,000 to “join the GGW brand and lifestyle.” In a press release issued from a
Nevada prison, Francis says “Vanessa Hudgens is the classic girl next door gone
wild. Being sexual is not a crime.”
New documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal may help point to an answer: A company controlled by Mr. Hsu recently received $40 million from a Madison
Avenue investment fund run by Joel Rosenman, who was one of the creators of the
Woodstock rock festival in 1969. That money, Mr. Rosenman told investors this
week, is missing.
Officials in Washington said that the most likely targets of the raid were
weapons caches that Israel’s government believes Iran has been sending the
Lebanese militant group Hezbollah through Syria…
One Bush administration official said Israel had recently carried out reconnaissance flights over Syria, taking pictures of possible nuclear installations that Israeli officials
believed might have been supplied with material from North Korea. The
administration official said Israeli officials believed that North Korea might
be unloading some of its nuclear material on Syria.
“The Israelis think North Korea is selling to Iran and Syria what little they have left,” the official said. He said it was unclear whether the Israeli strike had produced
any evidence that might validate that belief.
During the meeting the Swedish Ambassador offered his deepest apologies for the
controversy created by the publishing of hurtful depiction of Prophet Mohammad
(PBUH) in a Swedish Newspaper. He informed the Secretary General that the
Government of Sweden had taken careful and serious note of his statement in this
regard and acted in a proactive manner at an early stage. He stated that Sweden
feels that the best possible action to resolve the crisis is to choose the path
of dialogue and explained that accordingly the Swedish Prime Minister instantly
took initiative to engage into dialogue by offering his personal regrets to the
Swedish Muslim community and explaining them the Swedish social norms and
structures.
Dems balk at MoveOn censure resolution
Republicans had hoped to force Democrats into the uncomfortable position of
voting for a measure to officially denounce an organization that has helped
raise millions for party candidates in recent elections.
"This smear campaign consisted of entirely unwarranted and fallacious attacks, and sought to impugn the name of a highly respected man of integrity," said Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican.
Granting fools the right to speak freely allows you to know who the fools are and just how foolish they are. The democrats don't need to be pressured into taking a stand on this, the American people can judge for themselves if they like their generals being slandered. It is my opinion that this was an attack of a personal nature that is extremely unproductive.
The Boland Amendment was actually a series of amendments passed in the 1980s
that eventually banned any money from the US Government being spent as military aid to the Contras in Nicaragua.We need a new one, only this one should be
to ban the spending of any money by the US Government to fight within the territorial limits of Iran. We might stick a two year time limit on it since any other administration wouldn’t be crazy enough to do it barring a real provocation. Right now, it is very plausible that this administration and it’s willing enablers like Lieberman will create a provocation to attack Iran-something that can only result in a complete disaster for the entire region, if not planet.
Tall, telegenic, affable Tony Snow first took the podium in the James S. Brady
briefing room on May 16, 2006. Looking out upon the foregathered carnivorous
White House press corps he opened the proceedings with this bit of wry humor, "I
feel so loved."
The "Christians" of Soulwinner Ministries International showed up on UNC-Chapel
Hill's campus yesterday to demonstrate as part of its "Save Our Students"
project, in which the fundies travel to colleges around the country to
proselytize (64 campuses in 27 states).
Senate Democrats will block Ted Olson from succeeding Alberto Gonzales as
attorney general if President Bush nominates him, Majority Leader Harry Reid
said Wednesday."Ted Olson will not be confirmed," Reid, D-Nev., said in a
written statement. "I intend to do everything I can to prevent him from being
confirmed as the next attorney general."The comment gave weight to Republican
warnings that Olson, a former solicitor general, would face brutal confirmation
hearings and that the White House can't afford a fight now over who will head
the troubled federal law enforcement agency."It would be unfortunate to nominate
someone who can't be confirmed," Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala. and a member of the
Judiciary Committee, said earlier in the day.
According to the LA Times “U.S. diplomats and military officers have been in
talks with members of the armed movement loyal to Muqtada Sadr, a sharp reversal
of policy and a grudging recognition that the radical Shiite cleric holds a
dominant position in much of Baghdad and other parts of Iraq.The secret dialogue
has been going on since at least early 2006, but appeared to yield a tangible
result only in the last week -- with relative calm in an area of west Baghdad
that has been among the capital's most dangerous sections.”
According to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll “Giuliani's support dropped
from 37 percent in a July poll to 28 percent in the latest survey, and his
decline from February has been even more sharp. Then, he had the backing of 53
percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents and had a better than
2 to 1 advantage over his closest rival.”
SON OF GONZO: BUSH NEARS CHOICE TO LEAD JUSTICE
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11 — The White House is closing in on a nominee to replace
Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, with former Solicitor General Theodore B.
Olson considered one of the leading candidates, administration and Congressional
officials said Tuesday.
Reports of Mr. Olson’s candidacy suggested that President Bush, in choosing the third attorney general of his presidency, might defy calls from Democrats and choose another Republican who is considered a staunch partisan to lead the Justice Department. Mr. Gonzales is departing after being repeatedly accused of allowing political loyalties to blind him to independently enforcing the law.
Does this mean we are going to have to go through a very long and hard confirmation process?
GREENVILLE, S.C. - Republican presidential contender Fred Thompson said Monday that while Osama bin Laden needs to be caught and killed, the terrorist
mastermind would get the due process of law.
I was invited to appear on Meet the Press with Tim Russert on Sunday to present
my views on conditions in Iraq. …
This trip reinforced my long held belief that the conduct of this Iraq war by George Bush, Dick Cheney and their advisors has led to a catastrophic disaster affecting our nation both at home and around the world. Over 3500 brave women and men have died and over 26,000 have been wounded in support of this failed policy. We must get out of Iraq as quickly as possible.
A California man convicted of attending an al-Qaida camp in Pakistan was
sentenced to 24 years in federal prison Monday for supporting terrorists,
concluding a case that divided a Central Valley farming community.
U.S.
District Court Judge Garland Burrell Jr. imposed the sentence against Hamid
Hayat on his 25th birthday, saying he had “attended a terrorist training camp,
returned to the United States ready and willing to wage violent jihad when
directed to do so.”
This time last year I told the story of the other September 11th.
On this day in 1683 King Jan III Sobieski of Poland arrived at Vienna to break the siege of the Turks and rescue the Christian West from the Hosts of Mohammed. The rout of the Ottoman troops before the gates of Vienna by the Polish hussars gave us a little breathing room, a coffee-and-croissants break that lasted for the next
three hundred and eighteen years.
When Goober Republicans Attack
Earlier today a new site went online -- phoneyfred.org. Only it took a reporterAt least he could have covered his tracks a little better. This is just silly.
at the Post, it seems, a few minutes to figure out it was a production of the
Romney campaign. And specifically the work of Romney consultant Warren Tompkins, who you may remember as the guy President Bush hired to axe John McCain back in the South Carolina primary back in 2000.!
