Angelina Jolie is Creeped Out By Octuplets Mom
Hollywood star Angelina Jolie is said to be 'creeped out' by octuplets' mother Nadya Suleman after she received several admiring letters from her. Sources close to Angelina said the 33-year-old Suleman had written to Jolie praising her support of children and gushing about how talented she was. She is said to be irritated by Suleman - and particularly by rumors claiming the single mother had facial surgery to make her look more like her.
Friends of Suleman said she had altered her appearance to look like Jolie. The source was quoted as saying: "It is clear this woman needs psychological help. It's one thing to clip out a celebrity's photo from a magazine and ask your hair stylist to copy that cut. Who hasn't done that? But to have a nose job, have collagen injections in your lips and start talking like Angelina - that's over the top."
Suleman has set up a website to solicit donations for her children after controversy over their birth two weeks ago appears to have put many sponsors off. She launched a website yesterday, encouraging readers to give her money via credit cards and send parcels. The American mother, who already receives a raft of state handouts to care for her growing brood, also left a message to well-wishers. "We thank you for the love and good wishes sent to us from around the world".
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Miss Suleman has three disabled children
Despite previously insisting that she will not be claiming benefits, her publicist confirmed that she already receives food stamps and child disability payments to help feed and care for her six other children.
The more news that keeps coming out about this lady the more I think that she does really need help. I believe she did have these children to possibly get a t.v. show like it was reported. It seems to be the case, why else would she start a website to collect money from people. This woman makes me so angry-How do you guys feel about her?
Jessica Simpson's New Clothing Line
Jessica Simpson is set to turn her weight gain into a career opportunity.
She has revealed plans to launch her own fashion line for curvy women. She has created clothing to help women of all shapes avoid feeling 'frumpy.' She told In Style magazine: "I want to create clothes that flatter every figure".
Jessica promises:
"I know how a dress can make you feel so frumpy. I promise mine won't."
"I know what flatters a woman, and trust me, I've been judged a lot in my life."
"By now I know what works if you're curvy."
"If my clothing and accessories make you feel great and let you walk proud and tall - in big, big platform shoes - then I'm happy."
I'm glad she isn't letting the media get to her. She is not fat at all-she has beautiful womanly curves that would make most women jealous. I'm happy that even since she has gained a little bit of weight, she is turning around and making the most out of the situation.
Police Investigate Past Incidents With Rihanna and Chris
Police are investigating allegations that Rihanna may have been injured by her boyfriend Chris Brown in the past. Los Angeles detectives are looking into an alleged history of violence between the pair following the pre-Grammy night.
One incident they are investigating is when she wore an eye patch. Rihanna said that she suffered a scratched cornea and had to wear the patch, which she incorporated into her stage costume when she performed at the 2008 American Music Awards. Police are hesitant to believe that story.
A police has said: "We’re investigating if her eye injury could have been caused by Brown.There could be an innocent explanation - but police believe Rihanna has previously refused to make complaints against Brown."
She is now being asked about her past injuries and is beginning to open up about incidents in their relationship. Another police source told the paper: "We’re talking to her friends and management, who say she’s appeared with mysterious marks or injuries before, but always refused to explain what happened." Reports also claim Rihanna was spotted with a bruise on her neck in December – but the singer did not explain how she got it.
Brown had flown to Las Vegas after being released from jail and appears to have changed his status to "single'" on his private Facebook page, suggesting the pair have officially split.
He also wrote the following update, which appears to imply the allegedly battered Rihanna isn't entirely innocent: 'You'll begin to see her true colors. Believe it!'
Other stars/friends of the two have been speaking out as well. Rihanna's mentor Jay-Z is said to be furious. A source said that Jay 'hit the roof' when he heard about it.
On chat show Last Call With Carson Daly, rapper T.I. revealed he had spoken to Brown. He said: "I spoke to him today. He's cool, you know. He's a little concerned about the situation, but he's still the same Chris. I told him, "This too shall pass."'
Rihanna's former tour mate, Kanye West told E! News: "I don't want to speak more into the specifics with that situation, but all I'll say is it's just so devastating. I feel like, just as a person, I don’t care how famous she is or even if she just worked at McDonald's, that should never happen. It should never come to that place."
I just can't believe Chris Brown wrote on his site about waiting to see her true colors. Who cares-even if she is the craziest girl in the whole world, you still never touch her. At least now it seems Rihanna is cooperating, since they had feared that she would back out, as most victims of domestic type violence do.

Salma Hayek Helps A NewBorn Baby
While Salma Hayek was on a charity mission to war devastated Sierra Leone, she was confronted with a very hungry new born. Much to the astonishment of the camera crew accompanying her on the trip, the star took the seven-day-old boy to her own breast and fed him.
"The baby was perfectly healthy, but the mother didn't have milk," she said. "He was very hungry. I was weaning my daughter Valentina, but I still had a lot of milk that I was pumping, so I breastfed the baby."
The resulting footage has sparked widespread controversy because it's so unexpected to see a glamorous, pampered movie star scoop up a tiny, disadvantaged bundle and nurse the child as if he were her own.
As far as Salma, her actions boiled down to the very basics of survival. She had milk to give the baby and the child's mother did not.
"The women had no idea who Salma was and her offer was made in a deeply emotional context. The day before, we had witnessed a baby die in hospital and we were surrounded by women who were struggling to feed their children and keep them healthy, so she just quietly sat there and nursed the baby."
"What she did was a beautiful thing. A moment of maternal instinct that has captivated the world."
But her actions have also reignited the fierce and emotive debate about wet nursing, a practice which does not sit comfortably with modern motherhood at all. In the world today 'shared feeding', as it's known, is widely considered inappropriate at best and dangerous at worst, due to the risk of passing on HIV or Hepatitis C.
I think that what Salma did is what makes her a "real" person. She didn't care that she was some big time actress, she saw a starving child and did what she could to help it. If only everyone in the world was as thoughtful and caring as her..
Lego Goes Hi-Tech!!!
Images of the world's first Lego mobile phone have been leaked on the internet. Lego has been trying to enter the digital age and is planning to release a range of themed gadgets including a camera, MP3 player and walkie-talkies, as well as the cell phone.
The brightly colored Alcatel phone has been styled to look like as if built of red, blue and yellow Lego bricks. It has interchangeable pieces so you can keep changing the colors of your cell phone.
Any decision to use Lego to promote mobile phones to children would be highly controversial, given concerns about the impact of the technology on developing brains. But Lego is hoping to tap into the trend for hi-tech toys among children.
The company has formed a partnership with Las Vegas firm Digital Blue to manufacture a range of Lego-based electrical goods which are a world away from its traditional toy bricks. The fully functioning range of gadgets also includes alarm clocks and a so-called 'boom box' - an all-in-one CD and radio player. Digital Blue boss Tim Hall said: 'The line features fully functional digital cameras, MP3 players, walkie-talkies and USB drives that appear to be built from classic Lego bricks. "We're extremely proud to team up with Lego, a highly regarded brand among generations of parents and kids throughout the world."
The new products are aimed for children aged between 7 and 11. The full range is set to hit British stores this summer and items will cost between £14 and £40. Exact specifications have yet to be released.
Jill Wilfert, vice-president of licensing for Lego Group, claimed the new initiative to embrace gadgets would inspire young children. "Our entrance into the youth electronics space will enable our fans to express themselves through photos, videos and music, while displaying their enthusiasm for one of the world's all-time favorite toys", she said.
"It will help bring the Lego brand to life in an all-new way for its fans."
Rihanna Moving On After The Fight...
More information along with this picture has been released about Rihanna and Chris Brown's fight. E! has said Rihanna has told detectives that Chris choked her and then threatened to kill her during the incident.
Some unnamed police sources have offered up new details about why this all happened. Apparently while driving Rihanna home from Clive Davis's party, Chris received a text message-A very sexually explicit message. “He got a booty call. He got a text. Rihanna saw it and she got upset. They started to argue,” says the source. People magazine is reporting that Rihanna has the code to access Brown’s texts and has been checking them obsessively for messages from other women. So my original posting was correct in the speculation that it was Rihanna's jealousy that started the whole thing.
So she freaks out about the text and slaps him. Chris then reportedly pulls over his rented Lamborghini and Rihanna somehow managed to grab the keys and toss them out of the window. That’s when Brown lost it.
One source said, “She got out of the car. He wanted her to get back in, so he grabbed her. She pulled away. That’s when she’s told people he hit her.” “He reportedly exited the car and tried in vain to find the keys, then grabbed Rihanna’s neck and began choking her, saying, ‘I’m going to kill you!’”
Rihanna had also told police that she lost consciousness and when she awoke, Chris was gone. The responding officers were so concerned about her injuries, they drove Rihanna to the hospital in their squad car instead of waiting for an ambulance.
“Chris has been trying to contact her. So far she hasn’t taken his call,” says a source.
Rihanna has since canceled a second show overseas. At the most recent show, the tour promoter announced, “an assault case involving Rihanna’s boyfriend.” Earlier this week, Rihanna’s grandmother told Barbados’ Daily Nation newspaper, “I don’t want people to worry. Rihanna is fine and she is doing well.” Her grandmother also denied claims that Rihanna has a broken nose.
So far Chris Brown hasn't said anything publicly about the incident. All we know about whats going on with him is that Wrigley's has suspended its ads that feature Chris. The people at "Got Milk" have canceled his ads saying, “We are taking the allegations against Chris Brown very seriously, We are very proud and protective of the image of the Milk Mustache campaign and the responsible message it sends to teens. Mr. Brown’s ad … is scheduled to end this week.” In my city(Philly) on the radio stations they have been having fans call in, asking them whether or not they should continue to play his music. Most of them have said to keep playing it until an outcome is reached-Following the age old "Innocent until proven guilty" motto. We will find out March 5th-when Chris is due back in court.
What do you guys think? Will you continue to buy/listen to his music if he is found guilty?

Meet The Jerk-Part 2
In part 1, I didn't mention what Stephens wife's job was. She is a weight loss consultant. Apparently after all his attacks on overweight people, her job is taking a hit as well. She issued an apology on her blog, then deleted it and posted a new one. In it she said that her husband needed to get "professional help". Now if you go the site the whole site is gone-It's very strange. Her apologies can be found here . There at the bottom of that page-they were just too long for me to post both of them on here. I know I didn't really discuss his wife at all but surprisingly she wasn't bad-I have no idea how she is married to him because they seem so different. The only "odd" thing that she did say was basically that she wasn't happy being an American- She was just born here, it wasn't her choice.
Since the show aired so many other things have happened. Internet message-boards went even crazier than usual, posting Fowler's home address, which in turn prompted him to threaten to sue the website where it had appeared. Someone launched a stephen fowler sucks website, which I highly recommend you check out. San Francisco's Craigslist Rants and Raves section has a whole thread dedicated to how much they hate him-you can check it out here.
He was also part of Fulcrum Funds, Pacific Environment and Forest Ethics groups which some of the public found out about and took to writing to these companies about how outraged they were for having him as an employee/board member. Since then Stephens name has been removed from the website. It's unclear whether he has gotten fired, resigned or this is simply a temporary measure until most people have forgotten about this. He had to remove his facebook profile, his linkedin profile and his current business endeavor (terranova, the website). His wife lost out to promote herself and her weight loss business on TV, wasn't that the purpose of going on TV in the first place? She had to explain to all her weight loss clients why her husband makes fun of overweight people on a national TV show. His wife's business activities gets lots of, well, not so positive reviews on many review type websites. Her podcasts on i-tunes are experiencing the same fate. For going on the show they get $50,000..I'm not sure if having you and your wife's career thrown away, your friends and neighbors hating you, lots of people who don't know you also hate you is really worth it. At least to me it isn't. Then again this guy is all about the money so who knows.
Anyway the reason I even mentioned this guy in the first place was because I didn't realize such narrow minded, arrogant people still existed. He made me so angry, I wish I was there and could of given him a piece of my mind and my fist. Since I couldn't be, this is the next best thing-continuing to spread his name out there and what a horrible, awful person he is. Did anyone watch this episode? Or hear about it in the news? Let me know what you guys think of him!!
