Kate Winslet Hot Enough to Give Sight to the Venetian Blind
I suppose this is somewhat of one of those cumulative, long overdue prizes, because while the likes of Salma Hayek, Monica Bellucci, Gwynneth Paltrow, and Emma Stone were flirting about the red carpets of France and Italy over the holiday, Kate Winslet is one uniquely framed MILF that simply does not get enough accolades for the sexually-charged roles she plays in film, and even television, such as her role in Mildred Pierce, which she was pimping at the Venice Film Festival. Kate looked downright Valkyrian on the crimson walkway, flashing a real body with real curves that made me really, well, appreciative in a masculine gesture of anatomical glee. Kate, if I could rise without turning red myself, I’d hand you this award.

Mumbai Three Blasts 20 killed and 113 injured -Live Update Video
Serial blasts struck Mumbai this evening, less than three years after the 26/11 terrorist attacks of 2008. The three blasts, in sequence, were timed at 6.30 pm, 6.45 pm, and 7 pm IST, and targeted in that order Zaveri Bazaar, Opera House and the Kabutarkhana area of Dadar West. Zaveri Bazaar, centre of the jewelry industry, is adjacent the iconic Mumbadevi temple from which the city derives its name; both Zaveri Bazaar and Kabutarkhana were also targeted in the 1993 serial blasts.
A team of NIA officials, forensics experts and anti-terrorist operatives are en route to Bombay on a BSF special plane; an NSG unit is on standby on the ground. Home Minister P Chidambaram has chaired a meeting of senior Cabinet ministers and officials while Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chauhan is coordinating relief and rescue operations on the ground.
The city, which has witnessed multiple acts of terrorism over the years, has been reacting with abnormal calm; citizens have been providing help and shelter to those in need with offers of help flooding social media sites such as Twitter.

Obama On Twitter
Twitter Town Hall meeting broadcasted from The White House. During the interactive discussion, the President fielded questions about the economy (even Republican House Speaker John Boehner tweeted, “Where are the jobs?”) as well as other important topics.
It’s a good thing the tweets were highly screened, however, because from what we saw on Twitter most of the topics people wanted to hear Obama gab about have little to do with the economy or his style of governing. In fact, we found some pretty hilarious “questions” tweeted with the hashtag #AskObama over the last few hours that we just have to share.

Ann Coulter And Piers Morgan Have Awkward Conversation (VIDEO)
Wednesday show by asking her about her private life.
“Let’s talk about you for a moment,” Morgan said. “Engaged three times. You’re 50 in December, are you?”
“Don’t talk about either engagements, Social Security number, age or anything else,” Coulter said.
When Morgan tried again, asking about a rumor about her age, Coulter firmly shot him down.
“I don’t answer questions about myself,” she said. “…I think like most public figures [I] don’t talk about anything that wouldn’t involve — that you would not want the most dangerous stalker to know or have. So I will not be answering private life questions. That’s why we call it a private life.”
“Why are you skirting around issues about yourself?” Morgan asked. “You’re interesting.”
“I don’t talk about my private life,” she repeated. As Morgan continued trying to get her to answer questions, Coulter kept refusing.
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Call It Quits Video
Pop stars Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez announced today that they are no longer a couple and now hate each others guts.
“She’s just a f….g bitch!” Bieber told Unconfirmed Sources. “She always has to have things her way! She doesn’t give a rat’s ass about what I want!”
“He’s full of s..t” Gomez retorted. “He’s the one that always wants thing his way. If I want to go to the Caribbean he wants to go to Aruba. If I order lobster bisque he will embarrass me by ordering a hamburger!”
Gomez claims that she had been saving herself for marriage before she met Bieber and now regrets removing her ‘puity ring’.
“If I hadn’t met him I’d be a happy virgin right now” the youthful diva declared.
“If I hadn’t met her I’d be doing a bunch of hot chicks!” Bieber retaliated.
Shortly after this interview Bieber and Gomez spent a few minutes alone and apparently made up, retreating into a nearby bedroom.
“Please don’t tell anyone all that s..t we were saying”, Bieber stated.
An Unconfirmed Source provided the pair with a condom as they made their exit.
“I’m gonna need a bunch of these!” Bieber exclaimed as the bedroom door closed.
Massachusetts Tornadoes 2011- Video
The storm pulverized or sheared off the tops of roofs on Main Street in Springfield, a city of more than 150,000 about 90 miles west of Boston. A mounted video camera captured dramatic footage of a debris-filled funnel as it swept into downtown from the west, then crossed the Connecticut River.
Gov. Deval Patrick declared a state of emergency and called up 1,000 National Guardsmen after the storms, which brought scenes of devastation recently wreaked in the South and Midwest to a part of the country where such violent weather isn’t a way of life.
The Rev. Bob Marrone of The First Church of Monson said the storm cleared a view he’s never seen across the valley where the town sits.
