First it was Chris Brown allegedly beating Rihanna. Then there was the picture of Rihanna’s beating by Chris Brown released by TMZ. Then again Chris Brown hired a PR company to improve his image. And now we have rumors saying that Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together!?

This incident enraged a lot of fans of both the stars and news sources are reporting that Rihanna and Chris are living together in Diddy’s home in Miami.?

“They’re together again. They care for each other. While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves.”

We hope they get somewhere soon…its tough writing about them all day!

Worlds Most Pierced Woman

26 Feb

Picture of World’s Most Pierced Woman

People can get crazy to get their name out in record books. No wonder that many make big tradeoffs like Elaine Davidson, of Edinburgh, Scotlan has done by piercing 6005th piercing to make it to the Guinness Book of World Record.

In the year 2000 when The Guinness Book examined her she had 462 piercings, with 192 in her face alone! This grew to 720 piercings by the August of 2001. Then during the Edinburgh Festival she had 3950 piercings and if that wasn’t enough for this woman there were 5920 piercings by May 2008.

The total weight of the piercings exceed 3 kilograms! And surprisingly Elaine Davidson DOESN’T like getting pierced nor does her family members like tattooes or piercings of any kind.

Elaine said that she did the piercings to raise the bar high enough to get into the Guinness Book – scary if you ask me!

Heath Ledger wins Oscar

23 Feb

Heath Ledger has won the Oscar for The Best Supporting Actor in The Dark Knight. The Australian actor won this award for his maniacal performance as The Joker in Batman – The Dark Knight.?

Heath Ledger became the 2nd actor to win an Oscar posthomously. Previously this honor was reserved for Peter Finch who won an Oscar award, 2 months after dying of a heart attack, for The Best Actor in 1976. He played a role of a TV anchor in the film “Network”. So this award that Heath Ledger has won has earned him a privilege.

The death of the actor fuelled the publicity for The Dark Knight which propelled it to the top of the charts making it more than $1 billion. Heath Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment 5 months prior to the release of The Dark Knight. He died due to an overdose of a prescription drug.

Heath Ledger has successfully played roles in films like The Patriot, Casanova and many more! He will always be remembered as a great actor.

Google Earth Uncovers The Lost City of Atlantis?

21 Feb

I could not resist the urge to read the story which read that Google Earth has found the Lost City of Atlantis about 960 km off of the African coast.?

Plato wrote about the City of Atlantis in his 2 books describing that the city magically disappeared in one day and one night. In his book he described the people of Atlantia as great engineers and artists. They built lovely palaces, docks and temples.

But Google has clearly dismissed the claim by saying that the stuff seen in Google Earth are sonar lines used by boats to gather path data.

Whatever it maybe but many people have found wonderful things in the past using Google Earth.

Pawn Shop Symbol

21 Feb

Pawn Shop Symbol that lead to the lawsuit

Pawn Shop Symbol that lead to the lawsuit

In these tough times when companies care more about their sheer existence the Citi group on the other hand is focusing on playing legal games. ?The Citi group filed a lawsuit again AllCitiPawn for using its Citi brand name and logo.?

?

In court papers, Skadden Arps’ Ken Plevan, argued that the pawn shop is “tarnishing the extraordinary reputation of Citi,” which he (rather generously) described as “one of the largest and most renowned banking and financial services institutions in the world.”

How can a small mom and pop shop which is based in?Neptune Avenue in Brooklyn possibly dilute Citi’s brand? I guess AllCitiPrawn will be having hard time dealing not with Citi bank lawyers but the flood of customers that will come thanks to the worldwide publicity by Citi bank and that too for FREE!!

Can you suggest me of any company which needs government bail money to stay afloat and yet are ready to waste time and money when I “steal” their logo?

Rihanna Pictures after Beating by Chris Brown

Rihanna's leaked Picture after beating

Rihanna's leaked Picture after beating

From the past few days the news of Rihanna being beaten up by Chris Brown has spread like a wildfire. Rihanna has been a victim of domestic violence.
The Los Angeles Police Department said that it is trying its best to keep the information about the victims as confidential as they can. Meanwhile, TMZ released a picture of Rihanna in which she has all the bruises on her face above eyes and a split lip.

?

It seems that Chris Brown has very violently beat Rihanna. The cause of this violence is still not very clear. But this is just disgusting to beat a woman like this and that too to a star like Rihanna.
