Gov. Sanford and His Many Mistresses


2198176059_4d81e838b9


“It‘s a love story. A tragic one, a forbidden one ..”



Mark Sanford expressed in a recent interview that he felt that his Argentine mistress was his ’soul mate’ and noted a sense of mortality surrounding his decision to commit adultery on his wife. But in the same interview he revealed that this was not his only mistress but was the only woman other than his wife in which he engaged in intercourse with.

To me this notion of a fleeting sense of your own morality that the governor eluded to would not be any sort of excuse to commit adultery but rather a reason to strongly consider divorce and pursue a new life with this newfound ‘soul mate’ in Argentina. Even more so if he was violating his marriage vows with other women already.

More than anything else Governor Mark Sanford proved today to the discerning public that he holds no regard whatsoever for his wife and his marriage.

Be it maintaining his public imagine and political position or simply caring more for his carnal desires than he does for his commitment to his wife is not clear. But the stain to his character is absolute.

In regards to the resignation of Mark Sanford from office I have a neutral opinion. If the people of South Carolina believe he should do this, then he is obliged to do so immediately. Otherwise I think the entire scandal simply goes to character.

The character of Governor Mark Sanford is clear to any who care to know.

What irritates me is the likes of Lindsey Graham coming forth to declare Mark Sanford as ‘only human’ in an attempt to elevate the character of the governor for what I believe are purely political motives.

The stain of poor character sheds itself only to a small degree to The Republican Party. Yet their representatives insist on standing up for a man who pursued his ‘forbidden love’ in place of his marriage at the cost to his family and his character in the public arena.

This man is a disgrace and I send my personal condolences to his wife and his children.





How Responsible is O’Reilly in Tiller’s Murder?



Crooks & Liars:
Bill O’Reilly uses Private Long’s murder to try and justify his demonization of Dr. Tiller by John Amato

Raw Replay: Howard Kurtz excuses Bill O’Reilly’s incitement of violence against George Tiller
by David Edwards

--

In terms of criminal responsibility to Bill O’Reilly or FOX Broadcasting in the murder of Dr. George Tiller, I can see none.

In terms of moral and civic responsibility, I see plenty. I believe it to a shameful state of affairs in America today that I am a ‘far left’ blogger for demanding responsible broadcasting and moral standards in addressing social issues like abortion and women’s reproductive health.
The crazies will do what they do.

Bill O’Reilly is not responsible when a lunatic reads his book and murders fourteen people in a church, nor is he responsible when a man watches his broadcasts and goes out and kills a man over it. In a legal sense this is true. In a moral sense Bill O’Reilly has blood on his hands for passing along biased and jaded perspectives on liberalism in America and his outrageously dangerous and slanderous coverage of Dr. Tiller.

The responsibility of a broadcaster is vapid in terms of serious social issues and FOX News is just part of a much larger problem. This is not in anyway exclusive to The O’Reilly Factor.

Just tonight Geraldo Rivera made insinuations of vigilante violence against a child molester in Oklahoma in the course of denouncing vigilante violence himself.

The fact remains that the both the network and the broadcasters themselves have a responsibility to the public they serve to protect the lives of all citizens and protect the due process of law.

By calling Dr. Tiller a "killer" repeatedly on the air Bill O’Reilly risked inciting violence.

By vaguely insinuating that the Oklahoma child molester might be killed and have his body dumped on the side of the road Geraldo Rivera risked inciting violence.

The responsibility to the community for news broadcasting that does not risk the incitement of violence in the nation is fundamental to our domestic security as a nation.

This entire issue has absolutely nothing to do with an individual political agenda on my accord and I am willing to retract my provocative statements in regards to Mr. O’Reilly provided he states clearly to the public that he will no longer use his media platform to play dangerous games with people’s lives and then follows through on this promise.

Mine is a cry for an end to irresponsible broadcasting coming from FOX News.

For whatever failures of bias to found on vast quantity both on MSNBC and FOX, there is only one network inciting violence and using radical rightwing propaganda to do more than simply share an alternative perspective. Quite often the network is used as an agent for unscrupulous pundits to gamble with the safety of physicians and the liberal population of America.

Ultimately, I believe these people have become drunk off their own power and will never admit their own misdeeds let alone their own inability to recognize their contributions to a climate of violence in America.

As long as the public continues to support their "crusades" they will remained deluded and ignorant to the harm they cause in their wake. When the veil of public approval is lifted it becomes clear that these men will say anything to get ratings and if that means risking inciting violence, then so be it.

Aishwarya Rai Doesn’t Have Time for Children

There are mixed rumors about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan being preggers. The gossip has been spreading around the internet for quite some time. But Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan say they don’t have time for kids right now. And for all of the actresses too busy to actually take care of their children; this is pretty much good news.

The two years that Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan have been married have been happy ones. There’s no truth to pregnancy rumors, nor to the ones regarding their relationship. Although they are busy for work, they are not at the point where they’re too busy for one another.

But the time spent on big projects has made it impossible for the two to make time for children. That’s why lately; Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been making it clear that she is not pregnant. We’re sure the news will come out if and when it happens, but as for now there’s no truth to these rumors.

Rakhi Sawant wants Salman to Marry

Rakhi Swant is really getting into marriage mood what with her new reality likely to start soon. She was on a promotional binge the other day, appearing on TV all channels asking her fans to see the program.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1yCQDlAsdk6XCXOpBTbcwDeOhY675TWYkNvs8PQMbLgp-YxrbyHXDhFvl3nw1vEsu9yb7bNIm8KFHThvYtS9DK5gkQYzzLt9nWXd9N9cQsJfKA0E4Rf7I__UQxPwxvKvn_RKqjlqGTRgD/s400/rakhi-salman.jpg

In a candid mood she had some advice for Salman Khan, she says that she would like Salman Khan to marry soon so that she can go on a honeymoon with him. As a rejoinder she just added that she would with her husband and Salman should come with his wife.

Rakhi Ka Swayamwar is expected to the turn the TRP tables for NDTV Imagine and many expect it to do exceptionally well, let’s see what happens in days to come.

The O'Reilly Half-Apology for Tiller Murder

O’Reilly: "I would say we have covered this story passionately."

O’Reilly: "Now if something happens to this Oklahoma rapist guy, they are going to try to blame us for it."

Geraldo: "You mean like the Tiller thing."

Geraldo: "If this guy [child rapist] was found on the side of the road I wouldn’t shed one tear."

O’Reilly: "When someone does something like the person who killed Tiller and engages in vigilante violence they commit just as immoral an act as this rapist in Oklahoma."

--

I finally agree with Bill O’Reilly on something and have lost a good deal of respect for Geraldo Rivera.

Bill O’Reilly brought this up as a chance to defend himself and I think he made his case well. I still think he engaged in irresponsible broadcasting in the past but not tonight.

Tonight the mantle of Irresponsible Broadcaster of FOX Cable News is: Geraldo Rivera.

I think he is pretty deluded to think that denouncing vigilantism and eluding to it in the same statement is anything but ironic and sad.

Passionate reporting is one thing, and making vague statements about people being killed or otherwise harmed is very possibly why someone like me might declare The O’Reilly Factor as inciting domestic terrorism.

--

I wouldn’t shed one tear if Mark Sanford is found on the side of the road.

Freedom of speech.

As if I care to defend rapists. I only seek to point out that vigilantes exactly as immoral as the ones they wish to kill.

And we only hear this little bit of sanity from Bill O’Reilly well after the fact he crusades against all liberals and against Dr. Tiller.

I still thank him for it. Let his minions absorb this deep into their minds.

That they are no more than child molesters when they go and ’save some babies’ with a gun.
18 US Code 2340 -- Exception to Torture

“Torture means an act of a person acting under color of law to inflict severe physical and mental pain other than pain and suffering to lawful sanctions upon another person under lawful physical custody or control.”

This statute combined with the Justice Department memos seeking to define ‘enhanced interrogation’ as legal sanction are the method by which the Bush administration violated the US Constitution through the approval of cruel and unusual punishment on military detainees as part of lawful sanctions.

Many who use the word ‘torture’ on both sides of the argument fail to recognize this statute in it’s existence. I do not. Those who committed acts of torture as defined by US Legal Code should face prosecution for their acts no matter if they belong to an agency of US origin or not. The Nuremberg Defense is invalid. If your commanding officer orders you to commit torture you are bound by law to resign rather than accept the orders.

The US Supreme Court has rejected the argument that holding military detainees indefinitely is constitutional, stating that habeas corpus (the right to speedy trial) must be granted to terrorism suspects.

The United States Constitution applies as to persons and not exclusively to citizens nor exclusively within our borders. Wherever America goes, the Constitution follows.

Ours was the nation that defined specifically waterboarding as torture to be banned by the Geneva Convention, we proposed that their were to be no exceptions under the law for this method of interrogation to be lawful sanction. This nation once stood against the tactics of the communists who oppress freedom of opinion with fear and propaganda. When politically expedient such a review of history is rejected for the failed logic of ’enhanced interrogation’ being successful and vital to national security. All available credible information on the matter says otherwise and the FBI has warned of a ’blow-back factor’ from using such tactics from the beginning.

Not only do tactics like waterboarding endanger national security but they degrade our ability to conduct ourselves as a credible nation to other nations whom engage in human rights violations and nuclear proliferation. We have no weight in our stance while we allow illegalities to go unpunished within our own government and our own military.

Now somehow in these dark days we have a portion of the country who believe in using the very tactics of the communists that we rallied against so many years ago in a new battle where following this ideology will undoubtedly lead to yet another terrorist attack on the homeland and further the goals of global terrorism abroad. I contend if we listen to the perspective of former Vice-President Richard Cheney on the matter that we will provoke the national security situation to an irreparable state.

Pizzaman versus EricG

I have managed to make a profound impact upon a man with the screen name Pizzaman and before I ever got a chance to project my blather in this posting from Alan Colmes’ Liberaland, he was already name-dropping me. I don’t mind, a name-drop is a name drop and if someone reads my homepage I’m happy, but I would rather people at least comment directly on my blog if they are so invested in me specifically to use me as a reoccurring example. The way I see it if you have something to say to a man you say it to his face or in case of the internet you send him a notification of your comments. I send emails to all the conservative radio jocks and spinsters that I negatively comment on via blog. I also send emails to those that I might praise in one of my blogs. I would call such things being a ‘real person.’ Standing up for what you have to say rather than shouting out items and then fleeing the scene before any person involved in your comments might defend themselves.

I don’t believe in passing solely my opinion in this blog. If someone reads it and decides for themselves a conclusion other than my own, then so be it. I think this “Pizzaman” is so biased that his commentary that the commentary is useless in regards to liberals and ultimately to all politics. These fundamentalist ideologies are destructive. And most importantly they are anti-society.

Decide for yourself:

Alan quotes: Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote that the white firefighters “understandably attract this court’s sympathy. But they had no vested right to promotion. Nor have other persons received promotions in preference to them.”

K: No one was asking for a ‘vested right to promotion’ but simply a fair chance at one. To throw out the test results because the ‘right’ races didn’t score well denied those who DID score well the opportunity to advance.

Further to Kregg’s comments against Ginsberg:

Since when is required that an applicant for a job have a “vested” right to that job in order to have a valid discrimination claim? If a black and a white are competing for a job, NEITHER has a “VESTED” right to the job, but EACH has a valid discrimination claim IF the job is denied on grounds of race. What’s so hard abouit THAT? Why does it it take a genius to figure this out. Why can the conservative majority of the Supreme Court see this, but Ginsberg and her liberal colleagues not? Hmmmmm? Answer: Blinding, pathetic white guilt. EricG — care to respond? Did YOU ever violate God’s law against racial discrimination? I didn’t. And if not, why hold us BOTH accountable?

pizzaman



Do I violate God’ Law about … racial discrimination?

I know no such specific part of God’s Law. It’s against hate, not specifically ethnic hate but all hate.

Like right now I hate you. I hate you because you keep bringing me up in the course of making your points and I have never done such a thing to another internet user in all my life.

Maybe I should start. Using people on the internet as examples of racism and bigotry and hate for liberals. Why not?



We all violate the law against hate. We are human after all. But we must fight this within ourselves.

Just as a person who feels ’superior’ to others due to race should fight this urge within themselves to view themselves as superior.

Kind of like … the way how you view yourself as superior to liberals. Is that racism? Think about it. It’s not racism but do you think of liberals as your equal? Intellectually or as a person at least?

I doubt it. That’s why I have no respect for you as a man, your opinions aside.

You’re just one more vile dog out there causing harm to nation with partisanship taken to new heights.

Waste of time all true patriots. Seriously.

Grow up and be an American.

NEWSFLASH LIBERALAND!

Pizzaman is God!!!!

He knows all the transgressions under God’s Eyes because he is God and knows all the secrets of the universe and where exactly he is accountable for everything he ever did.

“And if not, why hold us BOTH accountable?”

We are all accountable. You are accountable before God for how much you hate your fellow Americans called ‘liberals’ and in the same I am held accountable for my hate against Americans called ‘conservatives.’



Next time you want to pick a internet fight with someone you might want to pick someone who is timid and will back off. You’ll be much happier ramming your nonsense and BS down their throat than you ever will dealing with me.

This is the web. You’re going to be more a coward than you would be to my face and I’m going to be more edgy here than I would be in person.

But in the end it’s best we don’t met. I don’t enjoy people who can’t be civil and respectful. I don’t think much of people like yourself, or rather people who present themselves as you have.

It’s a bunch of hollow ‘look me and my hatred and superior intellect’ while when you look around you don’t find people like myself who are outspoken, surely, but not involved with declaring myself ‘above’ others.

I’m right and you’re wrong. About ____. That’s true.

But I’m no better than you and vice versa.

This is America. Try to act like it. The burden falls to you as well as I. If you won’t do anything but be a partisan against liberals then you are a piece of carp American, same for me and cons.

It’s not a game. So don’t screw around.

That exactly right, Alan. She not NOT being nominated to vote with the conservative majority. She SUPPOSED to be nominated for her intellectual ability to bring the CONSTITUTION — with the 14th Amendment, a color-blind, non-racist document, halelluliah! — to bear on hard legal issues. But IN FACT, Obama has nominated her precisely because of her penchant for giving preference to black or brown skin tone. Yes, appoint her . . . because she has the intellectual and legal qualifications, and under law, the President has that raw power. But be aware, and beware, of what Obama has appointed: Raw judicial power. And to hell with the Constitution. See Ricci v. New Haven. Funny, true conservatives who act in good faith usually lose out on the raw power decisions. And you EricG, are thinking, “Yeah, yeah.”

Pizzaman

(Somehow he knows my mind before I‘ve read enough about Ricci v. New Haven to feel informed enough to comment. Very strange.)

Stand up! “That is my opinion,” my deeply creviced arse. Sotomayor has made a career out of skin color and national origin. I’m an American who “happens to be” hispanic, and I’m fed up with the condescension. “La Raza” = “the race.” This is a collective admission of special need. Well, I don’t need — and I emphatically REJECT — any benefits conferred because of liberal white guilt. “This isn’t about you,” you Anglo, EricG–style liberals. And it’s not about you either, brown skinned hispanics or blacks. It’s about what WE are as a people, and about our founding, our BINDING documents. Get that? “BINDING,” in more sense than one. WE, as one, are BOUND by this document. Want to reject it? Fine, then go fight the civil war all over again.

OK. As of 4:37 p.m., on 6/29/09, the uncontested fact is that a firefighter (aka “fireman”) was denied a promotion simply because he outscored all minority competitors: black, hispanic, Asian, Venusian, Venetian, Malthusian, and Carpathian. The 14th Amendment says: “No State shall . . . . . . deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws [on ground of race].” Why does the conservative majority have to engage in a death struggle to uphold this premise, which follows so naturally from the eralier premise that :We hold these truths to be self-evident . . .”? Is it that we no longer believe in “self-evident” truths? Or a Creator? God help us if that’s the case. What saved Jews under Hitler? Raw American power? Or adherence to the idea that, under God’s Natural Law, we are equal? EricG: Would you contend that we are ignorant regarding God’s wish concerning Jews in concentration camps? Or the tortured in Darfur? Has false pride so fogged your internal compass that drops of condensation obscure your needle? Think straight. God gave you a mind. I don’t mean to pick on EricG or be mean to him, but he has set himself up as the enemy of natural reason, which flows from God. If not from God,then from EricG and the like-minded who deny all constants, except those like “don’t racially discriminate” or “don’t screw the planet.” But even in asserting these constants, EricG (aka modern liberal man) acknowledges a source of authority and truth greater than himself. Who might this be?

I see my name in there a lot.

You care to label yourself while your labeling me?

Are you a conservative? Are you a Christian?

How about an American?

Are you now, or have you ever associated with a communist?
“don’t mean to pick on EricG or be mean to him, but he has set himself up as the enemy of natural reason, which flows from God”

Well, your ‘good Christian’ self did just that and you will need to face up for what you’ve done.

The fact remains that we have freedom of religion in this country so whatever insane fundamentalism you are fitting yourself up for … you can’t touch me.

So chew on that for awhile. I have my views on God and Christ and you have yours and in the end you can’t tell me what to think or cause me any harm or stop me from spreading the TRUTH OF JESUS CHRIST in the face of your vicious lies designed to keep people in chains of misery and hate.

“EricG: Would you contend that we are ignorant regarding God’s wish concerning Jews in concentration camps?”

We didn’t go to war over the Jews in WWII.

I don’t see your point, at all. If we could know for certain exactly what “God’s wish” was at any given moment our lives would be infinitely easier.

If you want to accept all the words of the KJB as truth and solid then that’s your failing and not mine. You go right ahead worshiping Constantine and his apprentice.

“Think straight. God gave you a mind”

That’s not the problem. The problem is hate-monger and disgraces to humanity like yourself choose to promote idiocy and bigotry when others seek to fill the world with Christ’s love.

Glad to know you’re fighting me on this one.

Good to know I have people in my court.

“If not from God, then from EricG and the like-minded who deny all constant”

You are angering me by putting words in my mouth that I never said. Would you try not to lie so much about me? Please? It’s a simple request.

I never ‘denied all constants,’ show me where I did this.

Death is a constant. We all die. Time, gravity, etc.

I am trying not to degrade into name-calling and bitter comments but I’m not seeing a lot of Christian in anything you are saying. In fact I don’t even see any of God’s love in this very human posting of very biased views against me personally and liberals in general.

“acknowledges a source of authority and truth greater than himself. Who might this be?”

It’s God. It’s not my business to tell everyone else all the things of the world and everything I understand to be true. Supposedly we are supposed to learn things on our own without hand holding all the way through.

You all those who would attack someone for sharing a perspective on God other than fundamentalism are the ones who are ENEMIES OF REASON. The destroyers of Christ’s love in the streets and the followers of the hate-preachers who spread intolerance of gays and promote an end to religious freedom in the US.

Admit it. You hate this nation.

If it were another country you would never have to hear anything but the secularism of the state or the approved religion which sits just fine with you.

When you have to hear anything but your perfectly ARCANE and equally INSANE orthodoxy then you have to call some a ‘enemy of reason’ and ‘pick on them’ because it threatens everything you do to have people … question the idiocy of religion.

And yet pull away the greatest lessons. Thus making all the hate and BS you all drown yourselves in become nothing but a hollow shell which serves no purpose except to draw blood and feed Satan.

I will resist the swearing, and simply say:

Next time you want to pick on me come to my blog and say it to my face you coward.

And all you conservatives are the ones losing your grip on reality.

I think more of you. But you don’t make it easy with the way you all treat me.

-

wooo Eric, its not good to get that upset. Nothing personal here, but maybe you should stop listing to your friends talking about bullets.

-

They don’t believe in Christ or any of this side of my ‘bipartisan attempts’ so I can see where they are coming from, I guess.

But it’s insane. I’m the worst. I’ll be the first to say it. But I also see nothing to start with on the conservative side. No place I go send someone to hear a non-BS conservative perspective in politics.

People don’t believe something until they see it. If all you allow yourself to see is race and politics and religion you are missing the bigger picture.

But it’s all my opinion in the end. So I can state myself minus the name-calling and partisanship but who on the right will join me?

It’s a two-way street. When the other guy throws punches it’s hard to get anything done, it’s really that simple.

Remarkable Young lady meets Dhoni and Gayle

Kingston, Jamaica: Kordell Clarke, a special teenager from Jamaica who has lived a traumatic life and who has overcome more obstacles than most face in a lifetime, received a unique 18th birthday gift courtesy of Digicel. She was the company’s representative at the toss to officially commence the Second Digicel One Day International at Sabina Park.

West Indies captain, Chris Gayle, and India’s, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, were joined by the inspirational young lady who was lauded by Jamaican Prime Minister, Bruce Golding, for her outstanding academic triumphs and having defeated great odds during her yet brief life.

It was really great to meet Gayle and Dhoni and I’m really happy,” Kordell said afterwards as she soaked up the atmosphere of her first ever cricket match despite passing the world famous Sabina Park on a daily basis on her way to school.

She and her brother, Ramon Clarke, and a friend were also special guests in the Digicel Corporate Box for the duration of the game.

The captains, having heard of her many challenges in life – all of which she overcame with great determination and grace – told her how pleased they were to meet her and thanked her for coming to meet them.

Kordell, who celebrated her birthday on June 20 is a lower sixth form student at the Alpha Academy in Kingston where she secured 12 CXC subjects with seven distinctions and five grade twos.Hers has not been a life of smooth sailing or mere minor obstacles.

Kordell’s father died when she was 10 and she also lost a brother to cancer. Wracked by painful scoliosis which caused her body to be bent and her spine to form a painful S shape, Kordell faced the distinct possibility of being crippled for life.

With the help of Prime Minister Golding, her mother Pauline Livingston, corporate Jamaica and her friends, Kordell was able to successfully complete corrective surgery.

She now hopes to read for a degree in actuarial science at the University of West Indies. Digicel was honoured to select such a remarkable young lady as its ambassador for the day.

I didn’t fly to Mumbai to Console Dhoni: Lakshmi Rai

Tamil actress Lakshmi Rai, who has been romantically linked with M.S. Dhoni, rubbishes reports that she flew down to Mumbai from here to console the Indian cricket skipper after the Indian team was ousted from the T20 World Cup. A Tamil daily had published the report.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAxRezBJEY4yw1NT3KEH_0r5FoFVKbs-U9JoBonkIjlazaWhEJB4W7XFKh8rMiQ3zMSCqo-GdckUFkPP3nIVK3EEJPtXSTM9iq5KSVngr-FBHDr2w1PAFN9Rz-07TPqFTZLREU0mNSBGtM/s400/Dhoni,+rai.jpg

“Though I was deeply upset by India’s exit from the T20 World Cup, I didn’t break down into tears as reported. Neither did I fly to Mumbai to meet Dhoni to talk to him and console him… it’s nothing but media’s figment of imagination. I just sent a consoling message to Dhoni and that’s all,” said the actress.

“Actually, I’m too busy to have time for such things. Nowadays, I make it a point to even take part in the story discussion of films in which I’m working. So, this keeps me very busy,” added the actress who featured in Tamil films like “Azhagiya Aabathu” and “Velli Thirai”.

A PARTY with a whole fucking CASE of Smirnoff Black,
Three bottles of whiskey,

Had a BLAST at the party, where you can MIX YOUR OWN DRINKS.
Yes, who NEEDS bartenders when you can do it yourself!
Stuck to one alcohol all night

And got kinda wasted. GAH.

Kareena Kapoor Keeps mum on kiss with Akshay

Hollywood actress Denise Richards has said that Akshay Kumar is a good kisser. However, desi girl Kareena Kapoor has not uttered even a single word though she is said to have kissed Akshay about ten times in their much-talked-about film Kambakkht Ishq.

Kareena may be trying to keep the kissing acts a low key affair but the Kambakkht Ishq insiders are ready to loosen the knot, as the release date of the film is not far off. Sources said that Kareena and Akshay kissed about ten times in the film but they didn't want to leak it.

Sources said that the lip lock between Akshay and Kareena would create a big furore, as both of them are committed. Let's wait and watch the reaction from Twinkle and Saif Ali Khan.

Why Simi Garewal's Role was cut out in 'Short Kut'?

June 27 (IANS) Arshad Warsi was excited about his 'Rendezvous with Simi Garewal' in forthcoming film 'Short Kut - The Con', but he was disappointed when the entire sequence was chopped off from the final cut.

http://mimg.sulekha.com/simi-garewal/stills/simi-garewal.jpg

'It's unfortunate but we had to let go of the sequence. This was done to keep the film's length in check. We wanted the film to be as close to the two-hour running length as possible. The film is now two hours and seven minutes and we didn't want to exceed it any further,' Anil Kapoor, the producer of 'Short Kut', told IANS.

The comedy has been directed by Neeraj Vora and is set to release July 10.

If the scene would have been retained, Simi would have made a comeback on the big screen after over two decades. She was last seen in her directorial debut 'Rukhsat' (1988) where she had Mithun Chakraborty and Anuradha Patel for company.

'The scene had turned out quite well actually,' said Arshad, who was expecting his 'rendezvous' with the graceful actress to be a hit among audiences.

'It was shot just like the way her shows are done with the white colour sets all intact. I had to act as this superstar actor Raju (the character which I play in the film) who gets this opportunity to make an appearance on her show.

'So there she is all sophisticated and elegant, while I behave as this cool star wearing those fancy, colourful and over the top clothes. The dialogues are really funny too as I start blabbering all that nonsense around how big

a fan I am of hers,' added Arshad.

Couldn't the scene have been retained?

'Well, some things can't be helped,' said Anil. 'Sometimes to make things perfect, you have to sacrifice some good things as well. Unfortunately, the Simi sequence is one of those good things.'

But the entire 'rendezvous' sequence has been retained to make it to the 'deleted scenes' section in the film's DVD and hence can be seen on the small screen.

'Yes, it will be there in the DVD. We can't let go off such a nice scene. It would make a good inclusion in the DVD and her fans won't be cheated,' said Anil.

Arshad added: 'Why just this scene -- there are so many other scenes that have turned out to be really marvellous but can't make it to the theatrical version. I'm sure if put together in a second DVD, they could all make for an altogether separate movie by itself.'

'Short Kut' also stars Akshaye Khanna and Amrita Rao, while Anil and Sanjay Dutt make special appearances for an item number.

What will happen to Michael Jackson’s kids

Michael Jackson kids

There are countless questions surrounding the tragic death of
Michael Jackson. How did it happen? Was it a heart attack? Did
prescription drugs kill him?

But an even larger question is emerging in the wake of the King of Pop’s untimely passing: What will happen with Jackson’s three children?

“They are in the care of a nanny and are with Mrs. Jackson — Katherine Jackson, the matriarch of the family,” Brian Oxman, Jackson family lawyer, told Canada AM co-host Seamus O’Regan on Friday.

RIP: Michael Jackson, The Eternal Gloved Moonwalker



R.I.P.
MICHAEL JACKSON
(1958-2009)

You were the Thriller who genuinely thrilled,
You were the Bad ass icon who defined my childhood,
You told everyone who dissed you to Beat It,
I Remember The Time we all wanted to Rock With You
You were the Man in The Mirror who told us to Heal The World
You were the Smooth Criminal who defined cool music videos,
You were neither Black nor White but always evergreen.
Rest In Peace, Michael Jackson, The Eternal Gloved Moonwalker.
You were Gone Too Soon, but You Are Not Alone anymore.

RIP: Farrah Fawcett, Original Angel Of Charlie



R.I.P.
FARRAH FAWCETT
1947-2009


You were one of the Original Angels,
Who would have kicked Drew, Lucy and Cameron's over SFX-ed asses.
Yours was the poster that adorned 12 million walls,
And graced two Playboy covers.
From Ally McBeal to The Guardian and even the Six Million Dollar Man,
You stole the limelight every time you had a scene.
But you will be best remembered as the Angel in THAT red swimsuit.
Rest In Peace, Farrah Fawcett,
Lady In Red, and Original Angel Of Charlie.

Bebo Numb on Akshay Kumar's Kissing Talent

Denise Richard’s compliment for a good kisser would sure have made Akshay kumar proud, after all a hollywood sex siren, for whom kiss scenes in film are next to emotional scenes in bollywood, saying she enjoyed the lip locking is a badge to a man's manhood.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF1OtWXV7-Z60-TYNDCZ5QFgBxKf7JG8GQJs-SfSwNsFXbFy21PpycGe6MUkHpBu4y_NSAJm39wWR6cMNL0Yxp4t1I6vzJMBzLwWG74Zhy2AW6Gfuk8ZVRGHZFHNSOLchZrmv2nJkAONw/s400/kambakhtishq.jpg

But our Indian beauty Kareena Kapoor has not yet commented over the kissing talent of our bollywood khiladi Akki as she is also having some hot sizzling scenes with him in the film Kambhakt Ishq.

While Denise might have let her pleasure known loud and clear, Bebo seems to be keeping mum about her serial kissing act. Well, after acting so much possesive , upset & displeased over Saif's one small kiss in Love Aaj Kal how can she sum up the courage to talk or publicize her elaborate smooching escapades in the film.

But with the film all set to release, Kareena’s secret seems to have come out. According to the latest Bollywood news, Kareena and Akshay have some very steamy love scenes besides smooching over ten times.


Lets see how Saif will now react and pay back all what Kareena did to him.

Confirming the news, a daily quoted a source as saying, “While everyone is aware that there is a kissing scene between Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor, no one knows that they have lip locked as many as ten times. The news has been very hush hush affair as both the lead actors were of the opinion that it should not be leaked out."

And the kisses are not only bound to leave the viewers surprised but have also led to many whispers in B-town. Considering the two stars are committed, many people from the industry found it hard to gulp the news.

Twinkle would surely be having sleepless nights thinking about the kissing scenes & she would be the first one to go & see the film not because of Akki's acting but to see how deep does these reel kisses go in real life.

Salman Khan drops Akshaye from TV show


According to sources, for the promotion of Anil Kapoor’s home production “Short Kut – The Con Is On”, Akshaye Khanna and Anil were to appear on Salman Khan’s TV show “10 Ka Dum”.

Everything was fine and the dates too had been fixed. But suddenly Salman suggested that it would be better to have Arshad Warsi and Anil Kapoor on the show rather than Akshaye Khanna and Anil Kapoor.

He also justified it by saying that Akshaye has got a very serious type of image which would make the show quite boring. So to make it interesting he suggested Arhsad’s name, who also features in the film.

Anil, who is a good friend of Salman, did not have a problem with this and the fresh dates for the shoot are being worked on.

Apparently this comes a day after Anil blasted Akshaye for not promoting “Short Kut”. Akshaye has a problem with Arshad and hence he does not want to be part of any promotions.

With this episode, it seems that Arshad and Anil have joined hands and they do not want Akshaye anywhere in the picture.

Saif Ali Khan takes Botox to hide his age


Love Aaj Kal’ depicts Saif as a young guy romancing two beautiful, sexy, young ladies half his age. Now that can make anybody self conscious & act as a reminder of how old you look when in actual you have to look like a college going guy.

Saif Ali Khan was feeling the pressure to look young and handsome opposite Deepika Padukone at the age of 38. It was at the moment he decided to hide his age and go for botox treatment.

He has undergone the artificial face lifting treatment in London, removing his wrinkles, spots and dark lines. A close source to the actor revealed, "Saif was wearing shades to a lot of events just after he got the job done.

This was to hide the telltale signs. Now that the after-effects have worn out, he steps out in day light without the shades."

There are many celebrities who have undergone the treatment to hide the effects of growing age & the insecurities you feel with it. And now Saif is the new entry to the already growing list.

If we look at the promo then surely we will feel the difference in Saif's looks. Also he has lost weight and looks in shape.

Bebo might feel happy to see the young Saif & feel that she is going around with a guy who is around her age.

Abhi smitten with white chick

After the Sherus, the Badals and the Tigers, it's now Masakalli's turn to bask in the limelight of Bollywood. The dove in Delhi 6 is getting more bhaav than both leads Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor put together.

But Abhishek doesn't mind at all. He thinks Masakalli deserves every bit of it. "Masakalli was more professional than anyone else on the sets. Her dialogue delivery was perfect and she didn't make any mistakes.

Besides, she was value for money too," he laughs. B Junior can't stop gushing about his fair-feather friend. "She's a brilliant actor and a wonderful co-star. My favourite actually," he adds with a chuckle.

That's not very good for Sonam. Guess all her acting genes failed to impress the First Son of Bollywood. Or maybe it was just the Delhi heat that has scrambled his brains. So don't be surprised if these two birds of a feather don't fly together anymore.

The Third Ice Age Melts Into a Pool Of Water



Ice Age: Dawn of The Dinosaurs.
a.k.a. Ice Age 3
Not a Review.
The first Ice Age was decent.
The second Ice Age melted a little.
This one was just one pool of water.
Ok if you liked the first one (and second one) you MIGHT like this one,
Kids might like it too.



It's mostly more of the same.
Scrat and his acorn
Manny and his moaning
Sid with his antics.
Diego with his... er... emoing.
Nothing much different there.
Except for the dinosaurs, of course.



Wait a minute, didn't the dinosaurs come BEFORE the Ice Age?
What are they doing HERE then?
Oh, it's a CARTOON.
Heck, if houses can fly on balloons and cows with udders can be male,
Why can't there be Dinosaurs in an Ice Age, huh?
So what if our kids grow up thinking weasels talk like Simon Pegg?
Screw science!



Anyway, I forgot how annoying I HATE Ray Romano's voice.
Every time I hear him MOANING I feel like punching him in the face.
They should rename it Everybody Loves Raymond Except Eyeris.
On the other hand, John Leguizamo isn't annoying.
But his CHARACTER Sid here is.
Simon Pegg is funny though.
Moby Dick WTF!
The rest of the cast... er... who?



Everything here just seems so recycled.
Inter-species mammal-reptile relationships? Wasn't that in Shrek?
Baby anxieties? Wasn't that in Shrek 3?
Scrat and his Acorn adventures? The trailers were funnier.
Sid and his bumbling ways? Wasn't that in the first movie?
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.



Anyway, this was incredibly underwhelming.
Then again, the first two weren't overwhelming in the first place.
This one was even more forgettable than Monsters Vs Aliens.
At least I went HA!-HA!-HA! during MvA.
This one was more HEH-HEH-MEH.
UP is still the best animated movie this year.
Heck, it's still the best MOVIE of the year.

Akshay Kumar mistaken for hollywood beauty

The original Khiladi No. 1 aka Akshay was confused with Nicholas Cage recently. A source said, "Sajid Nadiadwala was shooting for Kambakkht Ishq when he happened to come across the set of Fast and Furious in the Hollywood studio. Why not shoot on this set himself. What’s more the Fast and Furious car was there too." Adds a source.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG5go9jUB2Fgp51CjWttOgvGqF-Wl3gvy7Bp124q3nn8eLBR7twmENuTfe_LdJmxSLCdHhyphenhyphenBP-tCfgYH0zsgZ7tksMOPtg2nN2j_fhyphenhyphengQucv5JnUnjADqzT2_sK_zJNLzU4YuTSsj_tpA/s400/Akshay.jpg

Sajid quickly got his unit to shoot Akshay’s action scene there. "Seeing the Fast and Furious car and the set people confused Akshay for Nicholas Cage. They all began screaming Nicholas Nicholas and waving excitedly at him.

Poor Akshay he did not know what to do. but waved back at them hoping that they would know that he is Akshay Kumar and not Nicholas Cage," said the source.

What we can't get is how could people confuse soft, sexy feminine hollywood beauty ex -wife of Tom Cruise with around 6 inch strong, muscular & bearded Akshay Kumar.

Either Akshay looks more like women or Nicole needs to alter her image if she can be confused with a man. Whatever the case our Akki got to revel in attebtion of hollywood fans even if it was mistaken.

Jaya Bachchan behind Gowarikar’s Anti-Priyanka rant

While almost the entire industry has criticised Ashutosh Gowarikar for saying on stage that Aishwarya Rai should have won the IIFA Best Actress award for her performance in “Jodhaa Akbar” and not Priyanka Chopra for “Fashion”, it has now emerged that the poor guy was indeed obliging Jaya Bachchan.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKRsJdYyUQiPgcZY4NBGpIlGPP6HefICFvh6xwQDQ0K-fvrPNE5u9h9Nmux85DLfmuazxuX1TyWM4znlU_Em327z3uR9SZZGJetn7WUMZwvMHSdzf3xAdRpZND1ZEIli_-l9iSgnD8YAo/s400/Jaya+Bachchan.jpg

For those not in the know, it so happened that after Priyanka collected her award at the ceremony in Macau on June 13, it was Ashu went on stage to receive his Best Director award for “Jodhaa Akbar”.

The first thing that he uttered after taking the mike was, “Priyanka, I love you, but I don't know how you got the award for Best Actress when Aishwarya was also nominated in the same category for ‘Jodhaa Akbar’.”

He further added, “Maybe it is because you are very hard-working and she is a natural.”

But when he realised that he was goofing up he said, “Jayaji was just asking me the same thing," pointing to Jaya Bachchan, who was standing next to him.

Subsequently, everyone thought he had just dragged Jaya into the picture as cover-up for his own mistake. However, in an interview, Jaya Bachchan has admitted that she did ask Ashu to say what he did, and that too in public.

"It is being presumed that Ashutosh unnecessarily mentioned my name regarding Aishwarya's omission from the awards. The fact is, I suggested he bring up the question on stage. We were discussing why Aishwarya had not been given any award for 'Jodhaa Akbar'. I suggested Ashutosh bring up the matter. When he mentioned my name, he wasn't doing anything wrong," Jaya has said.

“I wonder why Aishwarya's fine performance [in ‘Jodhaa Akbar’] was ignored,” she has also said, adding that she has not seen “Fashion”.

May be she should see the movie to get the answer.
