Robert Pattinson And Kristen Stewart Get Close At The Breaking Dawn Premiere In Spain

Only time will tell whether or not seemingly sprung Hollyweirder Robert Pattison has actually taken his girlfriend Kristen Stewart back after she dirty-dogged him earlier this summer with married film director Rupert Sandders, but for now, they’re all smiles and walking red carpets like there was never an affair in the first place.

RobStew got all up close and personal for the camers on the red carpet for the Spain premiere of their latest film ‘Breaking Dawn Part II’ which officially hits theaters tomorrow.

Do you think RPatz has run back to the arms of the one who loves him fawked him over, or is he just frontin’ for the cameras until the movie hype dies down as to not disrupt his cash flow?

UPDATE: WNBA Star Chamique Holdsclaw’s Arrested After Bustin’ Up Her Ex-Boo-Thangs Whip And Pullin’ A Gun On Her!!

Shots were fired and police found a 9mm shell casing at the scene. Luckily Jennifer Lacey, Holdsclaw’s ex, wasn’t physically injured.

According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

An arrest warrant was issued for former basketball star Chamique Holdsclaw on Thursday after a dispute with a woman allegedly turned violent, Atlanta police said.

Holdsclaw, 35, of Smyrna, was not in custody Thursday afternoon, according to jail records. The warrant is for aggravated assault, criminal damage to property and reckless conduct, police said.

Jennifer Lacy, who described herself as Holdsclaw’s former girlfriend, told police she was working out at a church on Ponce de Leon Avenue on Tuesday when Holdsclaw approached her and said she wanted to put some items in Lacy’s car.

According to an incident report obtained by Channel 2 Action News, as Lacy drove from the church she smelled gasoline inside her vehicle and noticed that Holdsclaw was following her.

Lacy, who is also a professional basketball player, said she drove to a friend’s house on Hemphill Avenue, at which time Holdsclaw got out of her car with a baseball bat and began smashing the windows in Lacy’s Range Rover, the report said.

After breaking the driver’s side window, a rear passenger’s window and the rear window, Holdsclaw produced a handgun, fired inside the SUV and fled the scene, the report said.

Holdsclaw played 12 seasons in the WNBA, including one year with the Atlanta Dream, in 2009.

She was the No. 1 selection in the 1999 draft, after a four-year career at the University of Tennessee, where she led the Lady Vols to three consecutive national championships. She last played for the San Antonio Silver Stars in 2010.

In her autobiography, “Breaking Through: Beating The Odds Shot After Shot,” Holdsclaw describes her childhood in the housing projects of Queens, N.Y., and her battle with depression early in her professional career.

She currently serves as a spokeswoman for Active Minds, an organization “dedicated to empowering students to speak openly about mental health in order to educate others and increase help seeking,” according to the group’s website.

Lacy, 29, plays for the WNBA’s Tulsa Shock. She played for the Dream in 2008.

Well damn…hopefully Chamique gets the anger management help she desperately needs after she turns herself in!

UPDATE:

As of 10pm this evening, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting Chamique has been arrested…

Former basketball star Chamique Holdsclaw turned herself in Thursday night after an arrest warrant was issued following a dispute with a woman that allegedly turned violent, Atlanta police said.

Holdsclaw, 35, of Smyrna, was booked into the Fulton County jail shortly before 9 p.m., according to jail records. She was charged with aggravated assault, criminal damage to property and reckless conduct, police said. Her bond was set at $10,000, jail records show.

Jesus Take The Wheel: Four Are Dead And 17 Injured After Train Crashes Into A Veteran-Filled Float In Texas

0

Sadly, the crash has left four dead and at least 10 of the victims are in critical condition.

According to The Daily Mail:

At least four people have died and 17 were injured in west Texas after a freight train slammed into a parade float carrying wounded veterans for a charity benefit.

The veterans and their wives were seated on the flat beds of two tractor trailer rigs that paraded through downtown Midland, Texas, for a ‘Show of Support’ banquet in their honor.

As the two trailers crossed the train tracks, a Union Pacific train suddenly appeared, barreling down the tracks about 4.30pm on Thursday.

The first float pulled ahead and successfully clear the tracks, but the second float, still filled with people, was smashed by the locomotive.

Two people died at the scene. Two more died at the hospital. Ten of the victims are in critical condition. Eight are stable.

‘It was pandemonium at the point of impact. Some (of the veterans) tried to jump and protect each other, their girlfriends and their wives,’ Sheriff Gary Painter told the Midland Reporter-Telegram.

The overwhelmed staff at Midland Memorial Hospital have begun asking the community for blood donations and set up an emergency donation center in the city, KWES-TV reports.

Event organizers say 24 veterans and their spouses were on the trailers, en route from a downtown hotel to a banquet in their honor, according to the newspaper.

The eastbound train was sounding its horn before it hit the float, Union Pacific spokesman Tom Lange said.

A preliminary investigation indicates the crossing gate and lights were working at the time, Lange said, though he didn’t know if the train crew saw the float approaching.

However, witnesses reported that the crossing arms never lowered at the intersection, leaving the truck driver and the veterans completely off guard.

The parade was meant to kick off a weekend of celebration for the veterans, who were supposed to go on an all-expense-paid whitetail deer hunting trip this weekend, while their wives were treated to a weekend out on the town.

Those events have been canceled as the community reels from the disaster.

While we’re keeping all involved in our thoughts, we can’t help but wonder who the hell planned the parade without checking the damn train schedule!?!?

Did You Know? Americans Get Slizzard On The Daily And Consume Just As Much Booze As Soda!?!?

0
0

What are they tryin’ to say?!?!

We all know someone who likes to have a drank at the end of a long day but cotdayum…these statistics are pretty crazy.

Americans get too many calories from soda. But what about alcohol? It turns out adults get almost as many empty calories from booze as from soft drinks, a government study found.

Soda and other sweetened drinks — the focus of obesity-fighting public health campaigns — are the source of about 6 percent of the calories adults consume, on average. Alcoholic beverages account for about 5 percent, the new study found.

“We’ve been focusing on sugar-sweetened beverages. This is something new,” said Cynthia Ogden, one of the study’s authors. She’s an epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention which released its findings Thursday.

The government researchers say the findings deserve attention because, like soda, alcohol contains few nutrients but plenty of calories.

But a liquor trade association said the findings indicate there’s no big problem.

“This research shows that the overwhelming majority of adults drink moderately,” Lisa Hawkins, a spokeswoman for the Distilled Spirits Council, said in a statement.

The CDC study is based on interviews with more than 11,000 U.S. adults from 2007 through 2010. Participants were asked extensive questions about what they ate and drank over the previous 24 hours.

The study found:
–On any given day, about one-third of men and one-fifth of women consumed calories from beer, wine or liquor.

–Averaged out to all adults, the average guy drinks 150 calories from alcohol each day, or the equivalent of a can of Budweiser.

–The average woman drinks about 50 calories, or roughly half a glass of wine.

–Men drink mostly beer. For women, there was no clear favorite among alcoholic beverages.

–There was no racial or ethnic difference in average calories consumed from alcoholic beverages. But there was an age difference, with younger adults putting more of it away.

For reference, a 12-ounce can of regular Coca-Cola has 140 calories, slightly less than a same-sized can of regular Bud. A 5-ounce glass of wine is around 100 calories.

Here’s a thought. Maybe they should throw up the same calorie count on drinks as they do on everything else?

LLS…do you think it’d make a difference?

For Your Information!! Walmart Black Friday Strike Is On And May Effect Stores Country-Wide!

0
0

You may be waiting in that line longer than usual if you’re shopping at Walmart next Friday.

According to The Huffington Post:

Organizers are planning a nationwide strike against Walmart, the largest retailer in the world, and are banking on a new strategy: online organizing.

Labor organizers are working with social action nonprofit Engage Network as well as corporate watchdog nonprofit Corporate Action Network to pull off what they are calling a “viral” — meaning national and spreading online — strike.

Brian Young, cofounder of the Corporate Action Network, said on a conference call coordinated by the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) union Thursday, that organizers cannot cover the roughly 4,000 Walmarts across the country, but enabling self-appointed leaders online has widened and decentralized the campaign.

The campaign is also mobilizing strikers and supporters through a Facebook app, multiple Facebook pages, a Tumblr and Twitter with the hashtag #walmartstrikers.

The outreach leading up to Black Friday follows a series of unprecedented actions taken by Walmart workers against their employer and working conditions. In October, for the first time in the company’s 50-year history, more than 70 workers at multiple Los Angeles-area Walmart stores walked off the job, even though their jobs are not protected by an official union. The strike had a ripple effect, causing strikes in 12 other cities, in large part through online organizing.

The success of these strikes, as well as one over the summer touted as the largest ever protest against the company, and a six-day pilgrimmage of warehouse workers in September, would not have been possible without Facebook, Twitter and other web sites, Young said.

“Making Change at Walmart,” which organized the demonstrations and is a campaign affiliated with the UFCW union, has over 25,000 supporters on Facebook.

Corey Parker, a Walmart worker from Mississippi, said on the conference call that he became active with OUR Walmart after finding out about it through a HuffPost article on Facebook. Now, he has mobilized workers at his store to strike on Black Friday because, he said, he realized that “not being able to make a living was not just an issue at my store.”

Adding fuel to movement, Walmart announced Thursday that it will kick off its Black Friday sale at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving, its earliest start ever.

“Lots and lots of Walmart workers are going to be forced to not have Thanksgiving because they’re going to be preparing all day for the busiest shopping day of the year,” Dan Schlademan, director of Making Change at Walmart, said on the conference call. “This essentially cancels Thanksgiving for hundreds of thousands of workers.”

“It’s not like Walmart is financially hurting. It’s not like they’re not making unbelievable sums of money. The price of this is really decimating an important family day in our country.”

But Walmart spokesman Steven Restivo said of the sale, “Last year, our highest customer traffic was during the 10 p.m. hour and, according to the National Retail Federation, Thanksgiving night shopping has surged over the past three years.”

“Most of our stores are open 24 hours and, historically, much of our Black Friday preparations have been done on Thanksgiving, which is not unusual in the retail industry,” he said, adding that the strikes planned for Black Friday, will not “have any impact on our business.”

Regarding the action over the last few months, Restivo said, “While the opinions expressed by this group don’t represent the views of the vast majority of more than 1.3 million Walmart associates in the U.S., when our associates bring forward concerns, we listen.”

In September, dozens of Walmart-contracted warehouse workers in Southern California’s Inland Empire walked off the job and went on a six-day, 50-mile pilgrimage to protest working conditions and retaliation for speaking up.

More than a month later, the warehouse company NFI responded to some of the strikers’ working condition requests. “Just in the last week, we’ve seen the warehouse operators scrambling to replace broken and unsafe equipment, they’ve rented fans to increase ventilation, and they’ve added more water coolers,” Elizabeth Brennan, communications director for Warehouse Workers United, said on the conference call.

However, the strikers who returned to work have continued to face retaliation, many times getting their hours cut from 35 down to eight, she said. Some of these warehouse workers will join striking Walmart workers on Black Friday, Brennan said.

Do you support the strike??

A Lil Positivity: 9-Year-Old Boy Becomes Published Author After Writing A Book For Young Children Whose Parents Have Cancer

Fourth Grader Writes Children’s Book For Kids Whose Parents Have Cancer

A nine-year-old D.C. boy who wrote a children’s book to help him cope with his mother’s cancer is now a local best-selling author.

via ABC News

A tear rolled down Veronica Marion-Rawlins’s cheek when she discovered there weren’t ample resources that could help her explain her breast cancer diagnosis to her then four-year-old son. The single mom and her son, James “Trey” Rawlins III, searched everywhere – from local booksellers to online retailers – for reading materials that could help them better understand the journey they were about to embark on together. When they ended up with nothing,Trey decided to write a book himself.

Five years later, Trey, now age nine and a fourth-grader at Edgewood Magnet School in New Haven, Conn., is a published author, with help from a $1,000 donation from Howard University Hospital, in Washington, D.C., and his mom’s credit cards. “When Mommy Came Home” is targeted toward children ages four to seven.

By word-of-mouth the book, available for $10 through his mother, became so popular among local schools, clinics and hospitals that it is now sold out. The mother-son team hopes that with donations, they will be able to order more books that can be distributed to the people and places that may need them most.

What an inspiration this young man is for other children going through the same thing. Good for him.

Lil Scrappy Gets President Obama’s Face Tattooed On His Stomach

It might be time for LHHATL to start taping early, because cast member Lil Scrappy clearly has a little too much time on his hands during the off season.

The ATL rapper recently took some of his reality show gwap and got a life-sized tattoo of a gigantic dollar bill bearing President Barack Obama’s face across his stomach.

What do you think of Scrappy’s ode to Barry O?



Former First Lady Barbara Bush Says All The Mitt Romney Lovin’ Sore Losers Need To Get Over It!

Barbara Bush

Respect your elders and listen to this lady!

While many Republicans have been acting super salty over Obama’s re-election, former First Lady Barbara Bush says she’s tired of election talk and ready to get on with another term for Obama!

Via HuffPo reports:

Former U.S. first lady Barbara Bush said on Thursday that she’s ready to move beyond this year’s campaign season, in comments that came at an Austin conference the week after President Barack Obama’s re-election.

“I’m tired now of the elections,” Bush, who had endorsed Republican Mitt Romney, said at a forum on America’s first ladies. “People spoke. Move on, get on with it. I want to do other things and not to be ugly.”

Bush, sporting a double strand of her signature pearls, joined former first lady Laura Bush on a panel for the Enduring Legacies of America’s First Ladies conference at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library.

The first ladies avoided offering political opinions, but Barbara Bush did issue a stern warning to both Republicans and Democrats.

“They are going to have to compromise,” said Barbara Bush, the wife of former President George H.W. Bush. “It’s not a dirty word.”

Both first ladies reminisced about spectacular Christmases at the White House and cited family time spent at Camp David as the setting of some of their favorite memories.

When asked what was the biggest misconception about her husband, former President George W. Bush, during his time in office, Laura Bush said, “That he was a heedless cowboy character.”

Moderator Mark Updegrove, director of the LBJ library, asked the women if one ever can be prepared to be the first lady and without hesitation, both answered yes.

“If you are the wife of a governor or the wife of a vice president, I think you can be prepared for it,” said Barbara Bush.

“Or if your mother-in-law was the first lady and you watched her,” Laura Bush said. “I feel I really had a huge advantage.”

Earlier in the day, during a panel featuring presidential children, Jenna Bush Hager, one of Laura and George W. Bush’s twin daughters, revealed that her grandmother Barbara Bush’s family nickname is “The Enforcer.” Hager also divulged the tidbit that her mother, a fan of reggae superstar Bob Marley, is a “secret Rastafarian.”

Pure comedy at the “secret Rastafarian” business. We know that has to be deeper than just being a Bob Marley fan!

Props to Barbara Bush for not acting like a lil whiny crybaby like most of these Romney supporters!

Bye-Bye Twinkies: Stores Sell Out Of Hostess Products As Prices Jump On Ebay!!

0

Did you know Hostess factories were closing their doors today??

While we were over here hoping the strike would come to an end, Hostess execs didn’t fold on their shady azz decision to shut things down today.

According to ABC News:

On Hostess Brands’ last day of shipping its iconic snacks, entrepreneurial eBay sellers have taken the opportunity to tap into buyers’ Hostess panic, selling boxes for 95 percent more than grocery stores.

In one Food Emporium grocery store in New York City, Twinkies were sold out by 1:30 p.m. ET. In its place, was a box of 8 Hostess Strawberry Cupcakes, sitting next to several other Hostess products.

Retailing there for $4.29 for a box of ten Twinkies, one eBay seller sold a box for $59.99. Other boxes were on sale for $100 or more.

Hostess’ final shipments take place Friday, said Erik Halvorson, a spokesman for Hostess, the same day CEO Gregory F. Rayburn said it filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to close its business and sell its assets.

Halvorson said retail prices for Hostess products vary.

The company had filed for bankruptcy twice. The company filed in 2004 and then again in January of this year.

“We deeply regret the necessity of today’s decision, but we do not have the financial resources to weather an extended nationwide strike,” said CEO Gregory F. Rayburn in a statement on Friday morning. “Hostess Brands will move promptly to lay off most of its 18,500-member workforce and focus on selling its assets to the highest bidders.”

The fate of the Twinkie and other Hostess products hang in the balance as Hostess winds down the company. Private equity firm Ripplewood Holdings is one of the owners. Hedge funds Silver Point Capital and Monarch Alternative Capital own Hostess’ debt.

Among the 33 bakeries and 565 distribution centers Hostess said it will close is a factory in Schiller Park, Ill., which neighbors Chicago O’Hare International Airport. The bakery was the birthplace of the Twinkie, created on April 6, 1939 by Continental Baking Co.’s James Dewar.

Really tho? $60 fawking dollars? For one box of Twinkies? That seems pretty ridiculous to us.

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal Puts Mittens On Blast For ‘Gifts’ Statement!

0
0

Finally, a Republican stands up to Robney’s ludicrous bull after he blames Barack’s win on “Obamacare Supporters”.

According to Boston News:

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, a rising Republican star who stumped for Mitt Romney repeatedly on the campaign trail, assailed the failed presidential candidate for his remarks to donors on Wednesday that President Obama was reelected because of “gifts” to minorities, young people, and women.

“I think that’s absolutely wrong,” Jindal said later Wednesday at a news conference in Las Vegas at a meeting of the Republican Governors Association. “We have got to stop dividing the American voters. We need to go after 100 percent of the votes, not 53 percent.“

Jindal’s reference to 53 percent was a criticism of Romney’s secretly recorded statement at a Florida fund-raiser in May that 47 percent of Americans are dependent on government assistance and do not take personal responsibility for their lives.

The Louisiana governor, an Indian-American who is considered a potential presidential candidate in 2016, said that Republicans “need to continue to show how our policies help every voter out there achieve the American Dream, which is to be in the middle class, which is to be able to give their children an opportunity to be able to get a great education.”

He added, “I absolutely reject that notion, that description” of Obama’s winning strategy, which Romney made in a conference call that reporters heard. “I think that’s absolutely wrong.”

The election, Jindal said, showed that “if we’re going to continue to be a competitive party and win elections on the national stage and continue to fight for our conservative principles, we need two messages to get out loudly and clearly: One, we are fighting for 100 percent of the votes, and secondly, our policies benefit every American who wants to pursue the American dream. Period. No exceptions.”

The criticism from Jindal, who is the incoming president of the GOP governors association, was echoed by Republican Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin, who was sitting with Jindal on a panel when the Louisiana chief executive made his comments.

The Republican Party is not “just for people who are currently not dependent on the government,” Walker told CNN. “It’s for all Americans.”

Let it go Mitt. Just let it go.

The Side-Eye: Kim K Apologizes To Her Fans After Shady Palestine/Israel Tweets!

For real tho?!?!

Clearly foreign affairs isn’t Kim’s strong point!!

Acording to TMZ:

Kim Kardashian is APOLOGIZING for “offending” some of her followers by tweeting about the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.

Kim says she wants “own up” for publishing two tweets — the first read, “Praying for everyone in Israel.”

A short time later, she added, “Praying for everyone in Palestine and across the world!”

Kim later deleted both the tweets — and issued the following explanation:

“I want to own up to and explain that earlier today I sent out two tweets about saying prayers for the people in Palestine and Israel and after hearing from my followers, I decided to take down the tweets because I realized that some people were offended and hurt by what I said, and for that I apologize.”

The statement continues, “I should have pointed out my intentions behind these tweets when I posted them. The fact is that regardless of religion and political beliefs, there are countless innocent people involved who didnt choose this, and I pray for all of them and also for a resolution. I also pray for all the other people around the world who are caught in similar crossfires.”

Think before you tweet folks!

Did You Know?? Oil Rig In Gulf of Mexico Gets Rocked By Explosion!!

Big oil tycoons are still blowin’ isht up!!!

According to ABC News:

Ships and helicopters are searching for two oil rig workers who disappeared when an explosion rocked a Gulf of Mexico oil rig off the coast of Louisiana and set it on fire, Coast Guard officials said.

Eleven other crew members were flown to hospitals, and four of them are listed in critical condition.

There were no confirmed deaths as of the early evening.

Earlier reports by the Coast Guard that as many as 15 people were unaccounted for were resolved as the workers were located.

Among the injured were four who were airlifted for medical treatment to the West Jefferson Medical Center, where they were in critical condition after suffering serious burns. All four were intubated and were to be evacuated to Baton Rouge Burn Center when they were stabilized, according to West Jefferson spokesman Taslin Alfonzo.

Three helicopters and two rescue boats were scouring the water looking for the missing crew members, according to Ed Cubanski, chief of the U.S. Coast Guard response.

The Coast Guard said that a Black Elk Energy Co. oil and natural gas platform caught fire after workers using a torch cut a line that had 28 gallons of oil in it, causing an explosion.

Black Elk’s CEO, John Hoffman, said that the wrong tool was used in cutting the line. Contract workers should have used a saw instead of a torch, which caught vapors and caused the blast. The workers were employees of Grand Isle Shipyard, not Black Elk, he said. All of the individuals were men.

The rig was offline for maintenance and was scheduled to go back online for production later this month.

Because the rig was not actively producing oil or gas, there appeared to be little threat of a spill, according to the Coast Guard.

There were 22 people on board at the time of the explosion, the Coast Guard said.

Evelyn Addresses Fans Concerns Over Her Frozen Eggs

BBW reality ratchetista Evelyn Lozada made more than a few mentions on the show about her plans to have another child in the near future and she originally planned to do so with her head-butting ex-hubby Chad Johnson.

Now that Mr. and Mrs. Ochostinko are no more, her fans are wondering what she plans to do with her lil back burner babies.

via Examiner

In episode 3 of season 3 the coupled went to a fertility clinic to get answers that they needed concerning their options, and Chad gave up some sperm during their visit to the doctor’s office.

Well, after Evelyn and Chad divorced the questions regarding Evelyn Lozada’s eggs were still around. Did Evelyn go through with the procedure to freeze her eggs? What will happen to the frozen eggs? Fans asked Evelyn if she planned on using Chad’s frozen babies, or if she was going to allow them “to go to waste.”

Evelyn answered the question in her own special way during a tweet.

“Chile, I may let them thangs get freezer burnt!” Evelyn tweeted.

Given the way these two have been sending subliminals back and forth lately, we wouldn’t be surprised if Eve was keeping her frozen Chad Jrs on ice for a rainy day.



True Or False: Did Diddy Finally Catch Fade With Kid Cudi Over Chopping Cassie’s Boyish Cakes To Smithereens?

Diddy Cassie Kid Cudi

Earlier this year rumors swirled that Cassie let emo rapper Kid Cudi touch her in a special way. Apparently Diddy hasn’t forgotten.

According to BOSSIP sources, Tuesday night Diddy and Cudi got into a nice little fight at Club Trousdale in Hollywood.

“The club owner didn’t know that the two had beef over Cassie and decided to sit Diddy down next to Cudi,” the spy tells BOSSIP. “The two then exchanged some heated words to the point where the entire club was watching – creating a huge scene.”

Well at least nobody got hurt. Except Cudi’s ego most likely.

Maybe Kid Cudi should stop partying so hard and sober up and avoid the club scene. Because it seems Diddy has made it clear he runs NY and LA.
