Carrie Prejean: Porn Star?!?!

If this is true, it's just another example of just how hypocritical the religious right really is. She's only pushing this agenda for the advancement of her career. What a loser.

Prejean Goes XXX | News | Advocate.com

An extremely graphic sex video starring Carrie Prejean is the reason the conservative former Miss California has dismissed her lawsuit against the pageant. Editors for the website TMZ.com, who claim to have seen the tape, say that within 15 seconds of being shown the tape by a lawyer representing the pageant, Prejean decided to walk away from the suit without a settlement.

Of course, it's hard to keep an unbuttoned blouse closed when you're holding a bible in one hand...

Analogies & Metaphors

I love stuff like this!

(from an email I received today)

Every year, English teachers from across the country can submit their  collections of actual analogies and metaphors found in high school essays. These excerpts are published each year to the amusement of teachers  across the country.

Here are last year's winners.....

1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.
2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.
3. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.
4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. Coli, and he was room-temperature Canadian beef.
5. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.
6. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever. 
7. He was as tall as a six-foot, three-inch tree.
8. The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife's infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free ATM machine.
9. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.
10. McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.
11. From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you're on vacation in another city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30.
12. Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.
13. Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.
14. They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan's teeth.
15. John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds  who had also never met.
16. He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant, and she was the East River.
17. Even in his last years, Granddad had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long, it had rusted shut.
18. Shots rang out, as shots are wont to do.
19. The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.
20. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.
21. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
22. The ballerina rose gracefully en Pointe and extended one  slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.
23. It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.
24. He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.

Palin on Oprah

That's right. Sarah Palin will be appearing on Oprah show in conjunction with her book release.

AP News | Culpeper Star-Exponent

Harpo Productions announced Tuesday that the former governor of Alaska and Republican vice presidential candidate will appear on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on Monday, Nov. 16.

According to Harpo, the interview will be Palin's first about her new book, "Going Rogue: An American Life," and it will be the first time Palin and Winfrey will meet

I hope Oprah doesn't let Palin blab on about nothing. That would be a LONG show.

Since we know how much of a Obama supporter Oprah is, I wonder if Oprah is going to ask Palin about her ugly campaign speeches (lies) against Obama during the election.

Going Rogue

Here you have it: The cover for Sarah Palin's memoir.

AP News | Culpeper Star-Exponent

The book, originally planned for next spring, is coming out Nov. 17 with an announced first printing of 1.5 million copies. Palin and collaborator Lynn Vincent finished "Going Rogue" just two months after Palin's resignation as governor.

Will this be found under the "Humor" section? Or perhaps "Fiction", since she's obviously doesn't live in our world?

Serena Williams To Be Under Investigation

Well, Serena's outburst was all over the sports news last night and this morning.

For those of you who do not know what happened, Serena lost her semifinal match to Kim Clijsters after being awarded a penalty point on match point. (video). She had received a warning earlier in the match for racket abuse, which ultimately lead to her penalty.

It's really hard to tell if there was a foot fault from the angle of the camera, but I did see the front of her foot come down and pivot where the line seems to be.


Regardless of the fault, I agree with the tournament referee's decision. There is no excuse for this kind of behavior. And Serena's press conference did nothing to convince me otherwise.


Source: Serena's outburst to warrant investigation - Tennis - Yahoo! Sports

NEW YORK – Serena Williams is set to become the subject of an in-depth investigation after launching into a profane outburst that prompted her exit out of the U.S. Open.

Yahoo! Sports has learned that Williams will be asked to explain her actions and comments toward a female line judge at the end of her semifinal defeat to Kim Clijsters on Saturday night. A source revealed that representatives from tennis’ governing body – the International Tennis Federation – plus members of the Grand Slam Committee, which oversees the four major tournaments – will convene along with U.S. Open referee Brian Earley on Sunday.

The group is expected to review video footage of the incident, seek clarification from the line judge and most likely hand down a heavy fine to Williams. A representative from the WTA Tour is also expected to be included, although the Tour does not have jurisdiction over Grand Slam events.

Sarah Palin splitting from "the Todd"?

pic from AlaskaReport.com

Alaska Report is reporting that Sarah Palin and her husband Todd are divorcing.  They claim to have this information confirmed by multiple sources close to the couple including a former Palin staffer.  They also state that the stress of the split could be another reason she chose to resign as Governor of Alaska on July 26, 2009.

Astrologer Lynn Hayes also wrote about this possibility on her blog Astrological Musings (hosted by Deepak Chopra's Beliefnet.com) on July 4, 2009 and again August 1, 2009.  It seems that transiting Pluto is making a square to her Venus, which could create problems in her marriage.

Interesting?  You BETCHA!

We Won't Miss Miss California

She had been in contract violations for a while now. Glad she's gone.

Miss California USA Prejean dethroned - CNN.com

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Carrie Prejean has been dethroned as Miss California USA for "contract violations," including missing official pageant events, state pageant spokesman Roger Neal said Wednesday.

Carrie Prejean has been dethroned as Miss California USA.

Prejean, 22, retained her title last month despite a controversy over topless photos and her statements against same-sex marriage.

Miss USA pageant owner Donald Trump was involved in the decision to fire Prejean, Neal said.

Runner-up Tami Farrell, who was Miss Malibu, will immediately assume the Miss California USA title, he said.

"This was a decision based solely on contract violations, including Ms. Prejean's unwillingness to make appearances on behalf of the Miss California USA organization," state pageant Executive Director Keith Lewis said.

Now she's free to do "opposite marriage" commercials.

Here For The Music - Paula Abdul

Take a listen to Paula Abdul's new song. (h/t Luke)

PAULA ABDUL - Home

According to The Music Mix, this song is a Kylie remake (unreleased track from her "Body Language" album). But we all know that this isn't the first time their musical paths have crossed; Paula co-wrote what many consider to be Kylie's comeback single, "Spinning Around" (probably inspired by the prescription drugs).

Abdul teamed up with her old producer Oliver Lieber for this single. Kudos to Lieber for the fun production.
