JA2340 16 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 New Zealand's prime minister has become embroiled in a media row amid allegations that he called David Beckham "thick".John Key was reported to have said the football star was "thick as bat shit" on a recent visit to a school in Auckland. You think he was wrong?? In other news, Beckham has been approached by a broadcaster in US to host his own "talk show". David Beckham is being inundated with offers to host his own talk show.The 37-year-old footballer - whose rolling one year contract with Los Angeles Galaxy is up for renewal in December - has reportedly been offered the chance to front his own sports show by Time Warner Cable.A source told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper : "We want David on board whether or not he continues to play for the Galaxy. We are on our way to becoming the world's biggest sportscaster and he is a key part of our future." The insider said that the US-based company has offered the midfielder a "multi-million" contract and is "desperate" to secure the father-of-four to host a twice-weekly show on its new sports network. Counter offer The proposed format would see Beckham interview his fellow athletes, discuss tactics and give him "free reign" to cover any sports of his choice. But rivals FOX are said to be hashing out a massive counter offer in a desperate bid to lure the successful British star to its network and he is considering his options after being advised to cash-in on his celebrity status. Beckham and his 38-year-old wife Victoria are currently settled in Los Angeles with their children - Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, 10, seven-year-old Cruz, and 15-month-old daughter Harper - but are also said to be considering a move to New York so she can concentrate on her fashion line. A source said: "Everything is up for discussion at the moment. David may well choose to stay at his team LA Galaxy, or he may leave and retire from football. There are big conversations to be had.

griller 9 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 A judge in Ohio has come up with an unusual punishment for a dangerous driver. Shena Hardin will have to hold up a sign saying "only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus" after she did just that. Witnesses say she used to routinely drive on the pavement to avoid waiting for the school bus as it stopped to pick up and drop off children in Cleveland. The incident was filmed by someone on the bus using a mobile phone. Hardin will also lose her licence for 30 days and pay a $250 fine. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 IT’S the ugliest divorce case in legal history. When husband Jian Feng saw his newborn baby for the first time he was horrified. The girl was so ugly he refused to believe he and his stunning wife could have produced such a child. And he rounded on his partner, accusing her of having an affair. But she told him the terrible truth.Her good looks were due to £62,000 of plastic surgery and the baby was indeed theirs. Furious Feng took her to court claiming she had tricked him into marriage – and WON his lawsuit. Feng said: “I married my wife out of love, but as soon as we had our first daughter, we began having marital issues. “Our daughter was incredibly ugly, to the point where it horrified me.” He told lawyers his wife had fooled him by having plastic surgery to make her beautiful and it was only the birth of their daughter that gave her away. Incredibly, the court agreed and awarded Feng £75,000 after his wife admitted she had not told him about the surgery. A judge in the northern Chinese court said she had tricked Feng into marrying her – and also granted a divorce. He ruled that since Feng had not been aware of the surgery, his wife had used “false premises”. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 TLC's Half-Ton Killer tells shocking tale of 1,100lb woman who confessed to killing her nephew - until her weight proved testimony was a LIE A new documentary is set to reveal the astonishing true life story of a woman who testified falsely to murder but was found innocent on the grounds that her burgeoning obesity could never have allowed her to commit the crime. TLC's Half-Ton Killer? tells of how, in March 2008, Texan Mayra Rosales, 31, told police officers that she had killed her two-year-old nephew, Eliseo Jr, by accidentally rolling on top of him while babysitting. Such was her 1,100lb frame, Mayra imagined her story to be believable, but after doctors revealed that the boy could only have died from a blow to the head, the reality that she was so big she couldn't move her arm, became her attorney's main argument for her defence.

grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 They do English too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO9yFjodDtM Almost two months after a portly 34-year-old armed with a catchy chorus and a comical line in choreography soared to the top of the British pop charts, the world doesn't appear to have had its fill of Gangnam Style. Psy, the Korean rapper whose viral video sensation (the YouTube view count stands at 738 million and rising) spawned myriad copycat videos by everyone from the US navy to pupils at Eton, became the first Korean artist to gain household-name status outside K-pop's main hunting ground of Asia. It now seems certain that he has blazed a trail. Girls' Generation , a nine-member Korean girl group who had racked up millions of sales throughout east Asia long before Psy made "air" horseriding socially acceptable, are poised to release their first album recorded entirely in English. Tentatively due for release next year by Lady Gaga's label, Interscope, the album will mark the group's first serious effort to court English-speaking music fans. The women, all aged between 21 and 23, are the obvious choice to take up Psy's mantle in the UK, where artists who sell millions of albums in Korea and Japan are known only to a small number of K-pop devotees. Since their debut in 2007 with Into The New World, the highly polished band with a penchant for unfeasibly tailored hotpants, have been at the apex of Hallyu, the wave of Korean pop culture that has cracked even the famously tricky Japanese market, the second-biggest in the world after the US. "It doesn't surprise me at all that Girls' Generation are doing this," said Steve McClure, the Tokyo-based executive editor of McClure's Asia Music News. "The South Korean market is limited, so winning over new fans overseas has always been part of the K-pop strategy. The fact that they are riding on the coat tails of Psy is just pure luck – it has just made it easier than it might have been without him." The group's biggest overseas success to date has come in Japan – which is responsible for about 80% of K-pop's total revenues – where they immediately stood out among their saccharine counterparts from the world of J-pop. After a string of hits and awards spawned by their breakthrough 2009 hit, few K-pop watchers expected to wait long before Girls' Generation turned their attention to the English-language market. They have overcome the language barrier with ease. Two of their five studio albums were released in Japanese, three of the singers were born and raised in the US and all are comfortable speaking English, which made for a comfortable appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman earlier this year.
