You Tell 'Em Ms. California

FOXNEWS - Miss North Carolina Kristen Dalton was crowned Miss USA on Sunday, but the big story to come out of the normally politics-free telecast was Miss California's comments regarding gay marriage.

When asked by judge Perez Hilton, an openly gay gossip blogger, whether she believed in gay marriage, Miss California, Carrie Prejean, said "We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite. And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised."

Keith Lewis, who runs the Miss California competition, tells FOXNews.com that he was "saddened" by Prejean's statement.

Those who promote "tolerance" like Hilton and Lewis are "saddened" by those who disagree with them. That's what is sad.

Soulja Boy Robbed At Gun Point

Rapper Soulja Boy is keeping relatively quiet about being robbed at gunpoint by six men who entered his Georgia home last Tuesday. The singer, whose real name is DeAndre Ramone Way, and several of his friends were in the home at the time of the attack.

On Wednesday a video turned up on the internet with two masked men claiming to be the robbers. Not only did they admit to the crime but they also said this isn’t the first time they have encountered Soulja Boy. The criminals said that they “stalked” him at the release party for his latest album iSouljaBoyTellem and followed him to his home after the party.

In the homemade video, the criminals shot down rumors that there were six guns involved and said that they had robbed him with one gun between the two of them. - Bitten and Bound

Poor Soulja Boy.

Rest in peace, guys

Pam Anderson Hates KFC

Here's why:

• The roughly 1 billion chickens killed each year for KFC's buckets are crammed by the tens of thousands into excrement-filled sheds that stink of ammonia fumes.
• The birds’ legs and wings often break because they’re bred to be too top-heavy and because workers carelessly shove them into transport crates and shackles.
• Chickens’ throats are slit and the animals are dropped into tanks of scalding-hot water to remove their feathers, often while they are still conscious and able to feel pain.
• KFC lets frustrated factory-farm and slaughterhouse workers handle live birds, so many of the animals end up being sadistically abused. At a KFC “Supplier of the Year” slaughterhouse in West Virginia, workers were documented tearing the heads off live birds, spitting tobacco into their eyes, spray-painting their faces, and violently stomping on them. This was discovered more than two years after KFC promised PETA that it was taking animal welfare seriously.
• KFC hides behind its Animal Welfare Advisory Council, even though five members of the council have resigned in frustration. One of them, Adele Douglass, told the Chicago Tribune that KFC “never had any meetings. They never asked any advice, and then they touted to the press that they had this animal-welfare advisory committee. I felt like I was being used.” - Courtesy of Kentucky Fried Cruelty

Fall Out Boy is a part of the celebrity haters of K.F.C.. What do I say to that? Eat more KFC!

Harvey Korman dies

The world has lost a great comedian.

Rest in peace, Mr. Korman. I'll be sure to catch Blazing Saddles for the millionth time next time it's on.

Darfur update

If Paris Hilton can garner thousands of headlines and photographs with a trendy
Louis Vuitton purse and a pint-size pooch, surely another newsworthy figure can
do the same, right?
That's what Nadia Plesner was thinking when she designed
a T-shirt featuring a "pimped-out" Darfur victim holding a Vuitton handbag and a
dog bearing a striking resemblance to Hilton's beloved Tinkerbell.
"I wanted
to try to portray how distorted it is, how parts of the media prioritize between
small and big world news. Even with the terrible genocide going on in Darfur,
Paris Hilton is getting most of the attention," she said.

Good thing there's sites like ours to report...you know, ACTUAL news

."If all it takes to make the front page is a designer bag and a small dog,
maybe it's worth trying that for the people who really need attention.
"Everyone knows the image of starving black child, but we've seen it so many
times that we don't really respond to it anymore," she said. "It was a test to
see how the media reacts if you 'pimp the victim.' I think it worked."
Plesner, a 26-year-old Danish art student and member of Designers for
Darfur, was planning to sell the T-shirt online to raise money for victims of
the Sudanese crisis. She didn't anticipate getting involved in a crisis of her
own -- a costly legal battle with the world-famous French luxury retailer.
In February, Louis Vuitton sent Plesner a cease-and-desist letter.

Busted!

April 25, 2008 Edition 1

A US federal judge yesterday sentenced Hollywood actor Wesley Snipes to three years in prison for failing to file tax returns from 1999 to 2004.

Judge William Terrell Hodges laid down the harshest possible sentence against Snipes, after the star of Demolition Man and the Blade trilogy of vampire movies was found guilty by a jury in February on three misdemeanour charges.

According to US attorney Scotland Morris, who argued the government's case, Snipes at present owes more than $20 million dollars (R153.8 million) in back taxes and penalties.

The actor made a five million dollar payment to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) yesterday, but Morris dismissed it as "a fraction of what he owes".

"Snipes's long prison sentence should send a loud and crystal clear message to all tax defiers that if they engage in similar tax defier conduct, they face joining him and his co-defendants as inmates in prison," said an official at the US Department of Justice Tax Division, Nathan Hochman.

"The law is very clear: people must pay their taxes," added IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman. "There is no secret formula that eliminates a person's tax obligations, nor are there any special exceptions."

Attorneys for Snipes, 45, vowed to appeal.

"We were hoping for a complete acquittal," Snipes attorney Linda Moreno said. "I have faith in the process, and I have faith in the jury system. We will appeal."

So, I guess there will not be a Blade 4!

Fallon Rumored To Take Over For Conan

The word is out among the NBC brass: As rumored and bounced around for some time, Jimmy Fallon is set to take Conan O’Brien’s job as host of "Late Night" in 2009. It’s a done deal.

Conan, of course, will be taking over for Jay Leno, who will leave the "Tonight" show in May 2009 as part of a forced retirement.

There’s much debate about letting Leno leave NBC etc., but right now let’s just concentrate on Jimmy. He’s the perfect successor to Conan and should have just as big an audience when he takes the reins. Fallon is one of those great underrated performers. This should be the right milieu for him.

I’m told NBC will make the formal announcement about Fallon around May 11 or 12, when the network presents the fall '08 schedule to advertisers here in New York. - Fox News

I don't care about stuff like this, but maybe you do?

Darfur update

Actress Mia Farrow will continue to urge China to help end the violence in Darfur when she speaks in Hong Kong as the Beijing Olympics torch passes through the city, according to Agence France-Presse.

Come on, China. Hasn't this conflict gone on long enough?

China is the largest foreign investor in Sudan and buys almost two-thirds of its oil output.

Darfur update

Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney visited Downing Street for talks with Prime Minister Gordon Brown on the humanitarian crisis in Darfur.

The 46-year-old star devotes much of his time to campaigning for aid to the war-torn region of Sudan, and earlier this year he was appointed a United Nations “messenger of peace”.

Clooney met Mr Brown at Number 10 yesterday and posed for pictures with the Prime Minister’s wife, Sarah.

The actor later told reporters that they had discussed a "wonderful suggestion" about a fund to lease or buy helicopters "to create some security" in the region.

Great idea, George. How's U.N.A.M.I.D. going to get those helicopters?

tom cruise loves xenu

You may or may not have heard: last week Tom Cruise and his former boss, Sumner
Redstone, broke bread. They had lunch some 18 months after Redstone didn’t pick
up Cruise’s contract as on-lot producer.
The reason was that Redstone had had
enough of Cruise the couch-jumping Scientologist who berated Matt Lauer on the
"Today" show. That was in addition to the strange Katie Holmes courtship and
marriage and so on.
But now I am told that a renewed Paramount deal for
Cruise and a possible “Mission: Impossible 4” are not so likely.

i guess that makes this mission IMPOSSIBLE OH YEAH!

i hate amy

Amy Winehouse wore a jet-black dress and long leather gloves as she visited her
husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, in Pentonville Prison. She wants to move home

flat holds too many bad memories for her already (The Sun).

From the
papers:

Adele toppled over while trying to sit on a chair outside in Los
Angeles (Daily Mirror).

Justin Timberlake has turned down a
multi-million pound deal to model boxer shorts for Los Angeles-based company
