Going Down (Hopefully)

These money hungry, people of Evil have been using the false word of God and manipulating the people of Texas for years. They're disgusting creatures that use religion as a right to notoriety, celebrity and wealth. If what they allegedly believe in were even true, they would be shining examples of everything that is wrong with the world. I hope this bitch gets screwed for every dime she's stolen from millions of middle or lower class that have handed her their money, foolishly thinking this would somehow bring them closer to God.

HOUSTON, Texas (AP) -- She's the wife of a renowned evangelical pastor and one of the leaders of a Houston megachurch, but Victoria Osteen is being accused of behavior that wasn't very Christian.

Opening arguments were set for Thursday in a lawsuit that accuses Victoria Osteen of assaulting Continental Airlines flight attendant Sharon Brown before the start of a 2005 flight from Houston to Vail, Colorado.

The lawyer for Victoria Osteen called the lawsuit silly and denied that her client assaulted Brown. Brown's attorney, Reginald McKamie, said he hopes the trial will show "that celebrity status doesn't take precedence."

Victoria Osteen is co-pastor at Lakewood Church, where her husband, Joel Osteen, preaches and where about 42,000 people flock each week. Joel Osteen's weekly television address is broadcast nationally and internationally.

Brown alleges Victoria Osteen threw her against a bathroom door and elbowed her in the left breast during an outburst over a stain on her first-class seat. The Federal Aviation Administration fined Victoria Osteen $3,000 for interfering with a crew member.

Victoria Osteen "clearly was angry on this flight," McKamie said.

Brown wants an apology and punitive damages amounting to 10 percent of Victoria Osteen's net worth as part of her suit.

A 12-person jury was seated Wednesday after lawyers spent several hours questioning a pool of 130 people. The questioning touched on religious beliefs, celebrity and the public's perception of preachers and televangelists.

Many of those in the jury pool said they had been to Lakewood Church and acknowledged holding the Osteens in high regard and being star-struck by them.

But other potential jurors said they didn't like preachers or televangelists and that ministers can lie.

Joel Osteen was at his wife's side Wednesday in court. McKamie said he expected to call the couple as witnesses.

According to an FAA report, Victoria Osteen pushed and elbowed Brown in an attempt to get to the plane's cockpit after two other attendants had not cleaned a liquid on her armrest.

Brown's suit says the flight attendants asked to have Victoria Osteen removed from the plane. Victoria Osteen's lawyer, Rusty Hardin, says his client and her family left voluntarily. The incident delayed the flight about 2½ hours.

Hardin asked that the FAA report's findings not be allowed in the trial, saying the agency's investigation was incomplete. State District Judge Patricia Hancock said she would make a decision later.

Brown had previously said she was attacked in another incident by an airport employee, according to a deposition she gave in the case.

According to court documents, Brown says that she suffers from anxiety and hemorrhoids because of the incident involving Victoria Osteen and said her faith was affected. She is also suing Victoria Osteen for medical expenses for counseling.

I'm a Barbie Girl

So apparently something is going on with Aqua, the Danish-Norwegian pop-dance group that sky-rocketed to fame around the globe with their hit "Barbie Girl". Well apparently they reunited, of sorts, last year and announced they were releasing a new album and going on tour. This was announced last October and now this new song, being performed live somewhere, was surfaced. It's fun to see new material, but I've been unable to unearth any new information regarding this reunion and this new album.

Here's the track, Back in the '80s (Those Were The Days)

Already?!

The Sex and the City film is already being released on DVD, which comes as a total shock to me. I really thought they would've held off on this a little longer and waited to release it closer to the Christmas shopping season, as this is clearly going to sell like hot cakes this Christmas. A lot of people that love the show own the entire series on DVD; before the edited cable version many people who didn't have HBO only saw and knew the show through the DVD's which were passed around offices and college dorms like Pokemon cards at a pre-school playground. So I feel this is going to be the ultimate stocking stuffer this year for women and gay men as I assume everyone that owns the series on DVD, regardless of how much they liked the movie, will still want the DVD to complete their collections.

I'm not crazy about the case but I'm even less crazy about the lack of special features! But they're probabley waiting for the Deluxe Edition which will likely be released within the next year. HBO loves our money! They might as well split the movie as two and release two DVD's, since we know how much they love to do that!

PETA = Crazy

While I have supported various causes of PeTA I have never fully supported PeTA as a whole because I think they constantly cross the line of decency; they've done it again.

PAMELA PAMELA PAMELA

Despite the fact that it didn't garner very positive reviews nor did it manage to pull in that good of ratings (how the fuck does Denise Richards pull in higher ratings than Pamela fucking Anderson?!) I still thought that the premiere of Pam's reality show was the most innovative and well-produced, non-competitive reality series I've seen in a couple years. Everything from the style, to the music, to the superb editing, to the unique shooting style... I loved everything about it and am excited for more.

Give it a shot!

I'll Show You How to Win, And Where I've Been

It's almost the weekend, and so I thought I'd give us all a little kick start! Here's a song to boogie down to today at work in your cubicle, on your iPod on the bus, in the car on the way home or tonight in your living room.
It's former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell; some of you may remember a song from back, back, back in the day... 100% Pure Love by Crystal Waters. Well, Geri covered and it was supposed to be the first single of her last solo record, Passion, which was not released in North America. The single was eventually scrapped for another and the track didn't even end up on the CD.

But here it is for you; now shake your ass! It's almost FRIDAY!

New Pink Song

The first single from Pink's new record, So What, has leaked online.

Betty White Alert!

Betty White and the rest of the "Golden Girls" are the subject of tabloid headlines implying that they disrespected their late co-star Estelle Getty by not attending her funeral.

ET was exclusively behind the scenes of "Million Dollar Password" with Betty to get the straight scoop.

"We were with Estelle when it mattered," Betty tells ET. "I didn't go to her funeral and Paul, her wonderful caretaker, knew I wasn't going to her funeral."

Getty, who suffered from advanced dementia, died at her Hollywood home on July 22.

While it is true that neither Betty, nor Rue McClanahan, nor Bea Arthur attended the private memorial service, Betty says that Estelle would be mad at the tabloid reports.

"Funerals are about [journalism] … who was there and who wasn't? That's not about Estelle," Betty says. "We adored her. To tell you the truth, her passing is tough on us, but it's a blessing for her. She's been so ill for so long, she's in a better place now, wherever she is."

Preach It!

Here is a clip of the last moments of Kanye West's show at Madison Square Garden on August 5th. Among other things, Kanye does something that I've been yearning for someone in hip-hop to be man enough to do, speak out in defense of the gay community. It's not totally easy to hear what he's saying, but the jist is below... roughly translated by another blogger.

"Open your fucking minds. Open your minds. Be accepting of different people and let people be who they are. You know how many people came to me calling me gay cause I wear my jeans the fresh way? Or because I said hey, dude, how you gonna say 'fag' right in front of a gay dude's face and act like that's ok. That shit is disrespectful. Coming from Chicago, where if you saw somebody that was gay you were supposed to stay ten feet away. It should be time to break out of the instuitions that I was sayin', the stereotypes, or the fear, the backlash that I would get if you don't believe in what I believe in, acceptin' people for who they are...they're very talented and if they do something special in the world and they're discriminated. I've flown across the world y'all, and I've come back here to tell you — open your minds and live a happier life..."

Got Stork?

This photo released by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries shows a jabiru stork, with its blocky, slightly upturned black beak, among a flock of wood storks, egrets and ibis near Maringouin, La. on July 31, 2008. The jabiru, abundant in South America but rare farther north, was spotted in Louisiana, one of fewer than a dozen sightings of the bird in the U.S.
The other birds are roseate spoonbills, great egrets and a great blue heron.

Dixie Split

More Dixie Chicks news, but this news isn't as happy as the birth of Matie's newest child. Emily Robinson and her husband have divorced; they managed to do so quietly and without the media becoming aware.
The reason filed with the divorce papers was "...remain close friends and their family is the priority and will continue to be." What the hell does that mean?!

FUCK OFF CHINA

It's time for me to get politically incorrect. I have been fuming over China for months now, but after the bullshit that was this weekend, and China's pompous arrogance in the aftermath (washing the blood off the street doesn't restore peace, you fucking fascists) I AM PUBLICLY BOYCOTTING CHINA!
Fuck China!
Fuck the Olympics!


Oh, and stop polluting MY AIR! BECAUSE IT'S MY AIR TOO!

China and the Olympics can suck it.

FUCK CHINA FUCK CHINA FUCK CHINA

Blow it up.

That is all.

Blow Your Money

Not that I advocate cocaine use, but I found this to be very, very intersting... but not surprising since nobody is talking about the fact that blow is back with a motherfucking vegence and I, as a 20-something in this dday and age, know more people who've used or use than haven't.

Paper money contains high traces of cocaine, regardless of whether or not the paper money came into direct contact with the drug. And U.S. bills take the top spot, covered in the greatest amount of the illegal powder, while Spanish notes are the most highly contaminated in Europe, a new study finds.

6% Percent, Baby

Solid margins among women, minorities and young voters have powered Barack Obama to a 6 percentage point lead over John McCain in the presidential race, according to a poll released Tuesday.

"Please Kill Me!"

So that mentally unstable man who stabbed, beheaded and cannibalized a fellow passanger in a Greyhound in Canada last week proclaimed for someone in court today to "Please kill me!".

The suspect, who imigrated to Canada in 2004, has yet to enter a plea and has refused to speak to his court-appointed attorney or prosecuters.

The criminal was scheduled to appear in court today to determine if he should undergo psychiatirc testing (uhm, duh!). When asked, again, if he would like an attorney today he shook his head and asked again to please be killed.

I hope this man's soul finds peace.

Canadian Chicken... Good!

So it's been a really intense weekend for me; it was Pride in Vancouver, which was amazing to be apart for the first time. I also left my job on Friday and am in the process of interviewing for another, so please accept my humble apologies for going 4days without much fanfare!

So let's kick shit off with my favorite Canadian, Pamela Anderson, who was at the KFC that I can literally see from my apartment balcony yesterday! She was there with PETA who officially ended their 5 year boycott of KFC. All Canadan KFC locations has phased out suppliers that slit bird's throats while they are fully conscious and scald them to death in favor of suppliers who use painless gas. KFC Canada also now offers a veggie Chicken burger, which Pam, a vegetarian, chomped down as swarms of papparazzi and press snapped her visit.

All other KFC restaurants have still not changed their policies and PETA will continue their boycott; KFC locations in Canada are now all approved by PETA!

And no, I had no idea she was going to be there, or trust me, I would've been!
