How do I get free stuff online?
This is a great question I received earlier this week. Most people are understandably afraid of getting free stuff online because usually it involves you giving out your email and or personal information.So, before I go on with a few freebie websites I thought I would give you guys a few tricks I use. Some of you may use these and some of you may not. :)
First and foremost, whenever I find a freebie online I check it's google page rank. If you don't have this feature on your browser tab you can download it here
A websites page rank goes from 1 to 10 with 10 being the best. For example facebook has a high pagerank. I am working on getting mine up there lol, if anyone wants to help me please feel free to make your homepage this site address.....shamesless plug :)
Okay back to the tips and tricks.
The second thing, and probably the most important, is if the site requires me to sign up or give my email addy I give one I hardly use, just to get the info or freebie I want. Always remember that as required byu law all of these sites must give you the option to be removed from their mailing list and the link is almost always at the very bottom of the email and in small, small print, but it's there.
The final trick I use is if it asks for personal information I give it my vitals but put in a bad number so I am not inundated with sales calls. Meaning if it asks for a phone number, and the number is required I put in 999-000-9999, easy enough.
Now for the freebie websites found below:
My personal favorites are and slickdeals.net. Both sites offer forums where people go and post when they have found a freebie offered on the internet.
Myinstantwin.com features just that, instant wins. They compile a list of currently running, instant win promotions and games from company websites.
Online-sweepstakes.com also has the instant win games listed as well as a huge listing of regular sweepstakes. Enter often and regularly and you will win.

'They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English.
I can't even talk the way these people talk:
Why you ain't,
Where you is,
What he drive,
Where he stay,
Where he work,
Who you be...
And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.
And then I heard the father talk.
Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth
In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living.
People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an Education, and now we've got these knuckleheads walking around.
The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal...
These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids.
$500 sneakers for what?
And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.
I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit.
Where were you when he was 2?
Where were you when he was 12?
Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol?
And where is the father? Or who is his father?
People putting their clothes on backward:
Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?
People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something?
Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all types of needles [piercing] going through her body?
What part of Africa did this come from??
We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing about Africa .....
I say this all of the time. It would be like white people saying they are European-American. That is totally stupid.
I was born here, and so were my parents and grandparents and, very likely my great grandparents. I don't have any connection to Africa, no more than white Americans have to Germany , Scotland , England, Ireland , or the Netherlands . The same applies to 99 percent of all the black Americans as regards to Africa. So stop, already! ! !
With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap ......... and all of them are in jail.
Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem.
We have got to take the neighborhood back.
People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' -- or men or whatever you call them now.
We have millionaire football players who cannot read.
We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs. We, as black folks have to do a better job.
Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us.
We have to start holding each other to a higher standard.
We cannot blame the white people any longer.'

Sarah Gronert - Man, woman....tennis player. Should she play?
Beautiful, 22-year-old Sarah Gronert, a professional tennis player born and bred in Germany who desperately wants to compete in the woman's tour, has been the victim of sometimes cruel scrutiny because she is no ordinary young woman, the kid was born with both male and female genitalia.Sarah Gronert has found that even though she has a great talent she still must face the cruelty of others. Mainly her coaches and fellow tennis players They are quite insulting of her 'gender', despite the fact that she has been medically certified a woman after having her male "parts" removed, and is doing everything she can to be accepted into the woman's tour.
She has just returned after a three year break from the sport for reason's that are rather obvious; cruelty and jealousy.
"There is no girl who can hit serves like that, not even Venus Williams." a quote made by one coach, who was citing her (Gronert's) strengths and better performance. "Sarah is capable of - that other women cannot achieve", maybe she's just that good. No woman could serve like Venus Williams until Venus Williams......
Sounds pretty unfair to me, maybe this young woman (Gronert) is just that good and the jealous ones are hurting her because of something she has no control over. How she was born is not her fault, it's not like she is secretly taking performance enhancing drugs, and yes it happens even in the sport of Tennis.
She does have an obvious advantage, it's called desire to compete. If she begins to play continuously, within six months she will be within the Top 50. So keep an eye out for her name.

Should you buy a foreclosure?
Make $500,000 in one year! Buy houses for pennies on the dollar! The business of buying foreclosures and pre-foreclosures has never been hotter. The experts will guide you every step of the way to help you get rich quick. Just take a seminar or buy a book and you'll be on easy street in no time.
With foreclosure filings reported on 291,000 U.S. properties in February, up 30% from a year ago, it's easy to entertain visions of buying cheap houses and flipping them for quick profits.
The only trouble is, it's not so simple. New realities are changing the foreclosure business, and the unwary investor can be left in the lurch.
Here's what's changed and what you might want to watch out for:
There may be little or no equity on the table. Dana Mackey used to send 100 letters at a pop to distressed homeowners in the Agoura Hills, Calif., area. He would typically get about a 10% response. Of those, he would be able to work with several families either by carrying paper so they could stay in their homes or by purchasing the homes from them, and he'd make a good profit.
That doesn't work anymore. Most of the houses in trouble in his area are now "underwater" -- people owe more on their homes than the homes are worth. Many homes have $950,000 mortgages but are worth only $700,000 in today's market.
"Before, I was able to help them," says Mackey, of Prosperity4Kids. "Now, they're so far gone that there's nothing you can do. The banks don't want to negotiate. The banks don't want the property back, but they don't want to take the $250,000 hit right now either. And the market keeps dropping." Mackey has stopped sending the letters.

This just in - AIG execs should either resign or commit suicide.
The AIG scandal is getting worse by the day
AIG 0utrage is heating up to the point of being called ridiculous and who can blame everyone after the news of $165 Million dollar bonus scandal currently rocking the Nation and captivating the rest of the world, it's the octo-mom version of politics. Don't do what you can't afford.The President has called the company (and I quote) "reckless and greedy".
Congressional Democrats have quite seriously threatened to tax the bonuses into oblivion, it has caused such a furor that one Republican has even suggested that AIG leaders should own up and take responsibility for the collapse by resigning or killing themselves.
"Obviously, maybe they ought to be removed," said Sen. Charles Grassley during an Iowa City radio interview on Monday. "But I would suggest the first thing that would make me feel a little bit better toward them if they'd follow the Japanese example and come before the American people and take that deep bow and say, I'm sorry, and then either do one of two things: resign or go commit suicide."
Ouch, that's harsh. Seppuku style.
An AIG spokesman responded to Grassley's comments: "The remark is very disappointing, but AIG's employees continue to work with poise and professionalism to take care of policyholders and repay taxpayers."
Grassley later backtracked his comments early Tuesday, saying he would like executives of failed companies to make formal public apologies, as business leaders have done in Japan.
"What I'm expressing here obviously is not that I want people to commit suicide,"
It seems to me that this has gone on way to far and now the US government has quite an issue to address.

Treasury to rework AIG aid to recoup bonuses -
This beat's all. It shows the utmost disrespect this company has not only for the monetary aid they have been given but also the disrespect they have for the American people.
In case you don't know the story hear it is in short form, sort of;
AIG was part of the USA Multi-Billion dollar bailut and after receiving this money they are attempting to pay out $165 Million dollars in bonuses.
Bonuses?! Please, it proves the immoral and pathetic leadership of this company. They are the poster business for asking for alot and giving nothing back.
Kudo's to President Obama for arguing the point and already beginning the process of fighting these bonuses he (Obama) said in remarks at the White House he was "choked up with anger" over the executive payments, which is a hot button issue in the deepening recession.
My question is simply this:
Why not take the money bank and let them deal with bankruptcy?
The U.S. government is simply going to modify a planned $30 billion capital injection for American International Group Inc to try to recoup hundreds of millions of dollars in controversial bonuses, a spokesperson for the Treasury said on Monday.
Meanwhile, New York's top legal officer vowed to take AIG to court if it did not provide full details of the bonus payments.

Top Model Stampede in NYC
This is just insane, The video of the stampede of Top Model auditions held today in New York. There were 3 arrests and about 6 people injured during the chaos.
Noone is really sure what the riot was about....people must have been getting nervous or razzled about their possible upcoming fame and fortune, seeing as the callout was for shrt woman (5 foot 7) and beng that height there is very little chance of becoming a model without help from a Big Name like Tyra.
It is alleged the riot started by someone calling fire, we'll never know.

Alex Trebek returns home for 'Canada's Next Great Prime Minister'
When I first caught wind of this I was quite shocked, as a Television show, it's a great idea.....it's also not a new idea. I have a young family member who won a debate for the exact same concept a few years back and it was also a $50,000 prize.
Bragging gor my cousin Deirdra but still....it is a great thing to do as it get's youth involved in politics and how things "really" work. Especially with the world the way it is economically, this generation has a lot to do to fix this and make sure we don't ever have another moron for a leader.
Our present P.M and past P.M. weren't all bad, they weren't George "The World's Biggest Jerk-off" Bush. Canadians have a better grip on things financially.
We understand how to save, we understand that if we can't afford food...we don't buy booze and/or cigarettes....we understand how to pay our bills.
In this order:
Mortgage / Rent
Utilities
Food
Vehicle
Insurance
Gas
15 percent in savings account
Take care of the kids extra's, i.e future education.
Then treat yourslef
No Canadian blames the government for losing their homes or jobs, well "some" might, but hey, those are the loser's of our society.
The idiot's who don't live within their means, the fools who spend $70,000 grand a year and only make $50,000 (but their credit is good...right)
I am getting off topic here. I am so fed up with people crying about the economy. Sorry to be blunt folks but this has been in process since a certain Texas door knob learned the word veto.
More importantly if these whiners new how to save money and plan ahead they wouldn't be in the situation. Don't argue that either.
I personaly know a family of 4 who's combined income is $31,000.00
Home (worth $160,000) paid.
Vehicles - 2 both paid.
Furniture and Appliances - paid.
Ages -
Mike - 32
Kathy - 29
Tyler - 5
Heather - 2
If this young family accomplished that in a few years on that little money, I only have one question for the whiners out there.
Do you know how to save......or just drink?
Right now a few of you are really insulted by reading this, aren't you?
Good, remember that sting tonight when you open your pretty empty fridge for that cold one.
Oh yeah, as for Alex Trebek...welcome home. Can't wait to see the show.
I love this quote from Alex:
"I learned a long time ago (from) a producer friend of mine, he says: 'Alex, one of the lessons you've got to learn in show business is never turn down work. It's not a good idea because you don't know if the invitations will keep coming,"' Trebek said recently over the line from his Studio City, Calif., home.
That's right Alex....never turn down work.....a True Canadian.

The top websites that will matter the most in 2009

5. Embedr - The name says it all, as I wipe the drool......sorry, Iam a tech nerd.....I just hide it sorta.....
6. TwitR.me - It's a twitter galore app. I expect great things from this, seriously. It's basically a translator for different kinds of messaging.
7. Tweetmeme - Noticing a theme here e tweets ;)
Tweetmeme goes out and reads all of the links on Twitter, determines which ones are the most-clicked, and then categorizes the links based on whether they are links to blogs, videos, images or audio files....awesome!!

Spring Cleaning the Heart ( and garage)
Spring Cleaning.It is during this time of the year that most folks get out and clean up, the spring cleaning fever that goes through all of us. We feel a need to clean out clutter and reorganize everything in our lives.
For myself, I use it as a way to convince myself that the snow will be gone "tomorrow".....if only, and yes where I live there is still quite a bit of the white stuff.
I actually wasn't even aware that it was called National Cleaning Week (March 22-28). That is in the USA, here in Canada we simply call it what it is Spring Cleaning.
It' funny the differences, the little things....Canadians call a spade a spade as the saying goes, we don't have trumped up names for things, we call them what they are.
This time of year throughout, the world does have one thing in common. The love bug which sweeps through everybody, more so if you're single, not so much if you have just gone through a recent break-up.
Whichever the case, here and now is the time to get out there and meet someone special.
Start socializing. In most places there is a huge need for more volunteers this time of year and a lot of singles meet that way, plus you feel good about community involvement.
Quit blaming the times, a friend of mine is doing that, it's annoying. Going on a date can be a walk in the park, grab a coffee at a cafe. It doesn't have to be a big expense. Personally, if your date is all about you spending your hard earned money on crazy things, re-evaluate and run. Trust me.
Focus on finding someone that matches with you on as many levels as possible and look beneath the surface. Dating someone who is eye candy is great for both men and women, however after awhile the edge goes off because there is nothing in common, or you get tired of explaining everything.
Want to know a great way to gauge a relationship's future? Go shopping. It sounds sill, I know. Try it, you might be surprised.
Ditch all past experiences, they don't matter. You are in the here and now.
Move on.

Is Britney Spears Dating Her Agent?
It seems Britney's pining over K-Fed......no idea why? Really, anyone, anyone??It seems in the buzz world of celeb gossip that she may be dating her agent, 37 year old Jason Trawick.
They have been spotted together quite a bit so who knows. Maybe he is trying to keep her grounded and level-headed, I dunno.
Personally, I can see why the young starlet snapped with her now infamous hairdo and British accent craziness. She is a young woman loved and at the same time hated equally throughout the world. If they are indeed a celeb gossip couple let's hope she finds happiness .... this time.
The gossip world and the blogspot world are slowly becoming a level playground for celebs.
Thanks Rock Star2005 for the photo.
Lindsay Lohan has a warrant out for her!!
Beverly Hills Police have actually issued an arrest warrant for Lindsay Lohan.
She is an actrss, singer.....drama queen....etc.
What happened? She went from sweet kid with a promising future, shown at right,
to an out of control wild child with a very dismal future, in my opinion below.
It has been issued from a 2007 drunk driving conviction.
"In response to media inquiries, the Beverly Hills Police Department is confirming a warrant was in fact issued [on Friday] for the arrest of Lindsay Lohan," the police department wrote in a statement, according to Entertainment Tonight.
It's a $50,000 warrant issued by the Beverly Hills Superior Court from a May 2007 arrest of Miss Lohan for Driving Under the Influence and Hit and Run. The circumstances leading to the issuance of the warrant by the court are not available yet. Hopefully she (Lohan) has the brains to surrender herself, otherwise she could face jail time, real jail time.
Police Sgt. Mike Foxen confirmed that the warrant was issued on Friday. He said police had not yet contacted Lindsey Lohan.
Lohan's publicist and lawyer didn't return calls, not really surprising they are probably getting ready for damage control.
Lohan pleaded guilty or no contest to DUI and cocaine charges after crashing her Mercedes into a tree in the Beverly Hills area in 2007 and later chased the mother of a "friend" into Santa Monica in an SUV.
She could go to jail if she violates any terms of her three-year probation, such as failing to have a drug test or meet with her prob officer.
Poor kid has not had an easy life in stardom.
She is an actrss, singer.....drama queen....etc.

The circumstances leading to the issuance of the warrant by the court are not available yet. Hopefully she (Lohan) has the brains to surrender herself, otherwise she could face jail time, real jail time.Police Sgt. Mike Foxen confirmed that the warrant was issued on Friday. He said police had not yet contacted Lindsey Lohan.
Lohan's publicist and lawyer didn't return calls, not really surprising they are probably getting ready for damage control.
Lohan pleaded guilty or no contest to DUI and cocaine charges after crashing her Mercedes into a tree in the Beverly Hills area in 2007 and later chased the mother of a "friend" into Santa Monica in an SUV.
She could go to jail if she violates any terms of her three-year probation, such as failing to have a drug test or meet with her prob officer.
Poor kid has not had an easy life in stardom.
How to write your online dating profile
Okay, good morning. Happy Saturday to you all.
The theme this week is still online dating and young stars...they sort of go hand in hand don't they?
I'll leave that for you to ponder ;)
As you go online there are alot of do's and don'ts and one of the big things is writing your profile. I haven't done one in years and to be honest I left a lot of it blank because of fear at the time. I still don't believe I was afraid of online dating at the start.
But I digress.
Here is a great ebook on how to do just that. Write your profile.
I have to warn you the information is good but there is no need to purchase or go to the site as it will just cost money. Read it and then fill out your info on a free dating site.
Happy Hunting.

Reese Witherspoon - In a word ... Stunning
Today, one of my favorite actresses, I confess I have had a crush for years ;)
So, her biography to start with.
She was born March 22 1976 ... Hey I was born March 29 1972 ..... like you guys care lol. Back to Reese....
She was born in Nashville
She made her film debut in 1991 in the coming-of-age movie The Man in the Moon. She made an immediate impact on critics and audiences alike, netting widespread praise for her portrayal of a tomboy experiencing love for the first time, she was only 14.
She was still in high school she completed two more feature films, Jack the Bear (1993), starring Danny De Vito, as well as Disney's A Far Off Place (1993), for filming she lived in the Kalahari Desert.
She studied English literature at Stanford University and then returned to film as the abused girlfriend of a psychotic Mark Wahlberg in the thriller Fear (1996), one of my favorite Reese flicks.
It wasn't until 1998 that her career began to take off, with roles in two movies. The first, Twilight (not the monster hit movie now in the news), saw her sharing the screen with Gene Hackman, Susan Sarandon, and Paul Newman. The film didn't do very much, but Pleasantville, her other movie role that year, proved to be winning hit. The actress won wide recognition for her leading role as Tobey Maguire's oversexed sister, and this recognition -- along with critical respect -- increased the following year with another leading role.The incredibly funny movie Election. Starring opposite Matthew Broderick, Witherspoon won accalades for her high-strung portrayal of student-council presidential candidate Tracy Flick. Her character stood in stark contrast to the one Witherspoon subsequently portrayed in Cruel Intentions, enough said. I do believe she met her now real life ex-husband in that movie.
She also had roles in American Psycho in 2000Legally Blonde in 2001.
Sweet Home Alabama in 2002.
Vanity Fair in 2004
Just Like Heaven in 2005
Walk the Line also 2005
She is a young starlet but has a lot to offer us still.
Keep a look out for Reese Witherspoon.

How to Flirt Online Successfully
Tis the season for love to blossom. And Linda requested some online dating advice.
Here you go Linda ... and the rose is for you :)
Flirting online may not be as challenging as flirting in real life. Chatting or e-mailing gives you some time to think over your response. However, you cannot see the other person's facial expression or real reaction in order to weigh the impact of your remark. You do not have to worry. Flirting comes natural and you should play everything by the ear. Be sensitive to the other person's hints and take it from there. Just be honest and true to yourself. Most of all, never lead anyone on.
1. Most flirting starts with the online dating sites' communication tools. These tools may include, winking, blowing a kiss or sending a special greeting. Respond to these notices as promptly as you can. It can be a short message or an invitation to meet at the online dating sites' chat room.
2. Start the conversation by asking casual questions. Ask how his/her day went or if he/she did something interesting. This will allow you to look into the person's life without being intrusive. Study the clues the other person gives about his/her life then take the conversation from there.
3. Most online dating sites provide private chat rooms where you can chat with one person at a time. Use them wisely. If this is your first time to communicate with a potential date, avoid sexual invitations. Keep it light and easy. Remember that humor is also a form of flirtation. Imagine that the other person is laughing with your over a cup of a coffee rather than making out with you in a dark room.
4. Make yourself sound interesting without coming off as boastful or bragging. Begin by hinting about interesting things you did or are involved in. You may hint about interests you are passionate about and say that you are willing to impart more of yourself once you get to know each other better. Always keep a good amount of intrigue. Intrigue makes the flirtation more interesting.
5. Lastly, instead of saying "good-bye", give a more personal sign out greeting. You can say "I hope to chat with you again", or "It was really fun getting to know you". This suggests that you really had a good time and would enjoy seeing the other person online again.

Sexy Vanessa
I am not a huge fan of High School Musical in itself, but you cannot deny the talent of these young adults, late teens...etc.
Regardless of your stance, they are quite impressive. Some of the stars have done a few silly things but hey they are young and my point is not to belittle them but rather inform on them.
Since this blog is primarily by reader request I go have a tendency to go from topic to topic but that however is what keeps it fresh and interesting, I think anyway...and I write it so there ;)
Todays blogspot teen is Vanessa Hudgens.
Birth name Vanessa Anne Hudgens
Birth Date December 14, 1988 (1988-12-14) (age 20)
Place of Birth Salinas, California, U.S.
Genre(s) Pop, teen pop, dance pop
Occupation(s) Actress, singer, Spokesperson
Instrument(s) Vocal
Years active 2003–present
Label(s) Walt Disney, Hollywood Associated acts
She has already had a bit of world wide fame to put it lightlty starring in High School Musical, she has already had a scandalous set of inappropriate photo's circulating the net and has been sued by music producer Johnny Vieira for a percentage of earnings.
She's young but she already knows how Hollywood works. I think she may just have a very long career.
Good luck to her and thanks to rickilevy69 flickr for the photo

"People think I'm stupid. But I'm smarter than most people." - Paris Hilton
There has been so much controversy about Paris Hilton. So many people think she is just a dumb blond. I don't believe that for a minute.Personally, I think she has 98 percent of the world fooled. She is the granddaughter of the Hilton's so basically, since birth she didn't need to do a damn thing, she's born rich as it is.....not good enough for Paris.
We agree on one thing she was quoted as saying:
"The root of all evil is not money, it's boredom."
That is so true, so today we look at Paris, not the porn version but the real version.
Date of Birth
17 February 1981, New York City, New York, USA
Birth Name
Paris Whitney Hilton
Nickname
Star
Princess
Height
5' 8" (1.73 m)

Her Short Biography
Socialite Paris Hilton was born on February 17, 1981 in New York City into the Hilton family and, along with her three younger siblings, is heir-apparent to the vast Hilton hotel and real estate dynasty. Her childhood was spent in palatial dwellings in the priciest neighborhoods on both coasts and featured a brief flirtation with the educational system, including high schooling at the ultra-exclusive Dwight School, from which she dropped out and ultimately earned her high school GED.Living the glitzy socialite life from a relatively early age, attending exclusive parties and being covered by the gossip press, Hilton apparently became hooked on obtaining celebrity status, which was perhaps furthered by the example of her mother, Kathy Hilton, who had a brief acting career herself, mostly on TV. Hilton began a remarkable and well-financed campaign to put herself in the public eye, on screen, on television and in music. This effort has included a substantial amount of physical alteration. A naturally pleasant-looking girl, Hilton underwent extensive plastic surgery, hair coloring and tinted contact lenses in her attempt to reinvent herself as "hot". Sadly, money could not buy alteration of the physical attribute she most dislikes about herself: her exceptionally-large feet.
Some skeptics have guessed that the endless parade of inane inter-celebrity feuds centering around Hilton are, in fact, publicity stunts, another front in the campaign to keep her exposure level high. It has even been argued that the infamous home video of Hilton with then-boyfriend Rick Salomon, in which Hilton performs explicit romantic activities with Rick Salomon, was part of this campaign as well. If it was, it worked. For better or for worse, it made Hilton a household name overnight, and was even widely marketed as a video, 1 Night in Paris (2004) (V).
Eventually Hilton's efforts paid off and she got some modeling work, the designers presumably relying on her notoriety. She has been an increasing presence on-screen too, in TV commercials, on TV series and in the movies, at first bit parts in movies such as Zoolander (2001), Wonderland (2003), The Cat in the Hat (2003) and guest-star roles on TV shows such as "The O.C." (2003) and "George Lopez" (2002), but later more substantial roles in horror flick House of Wax (2005), the direct-to-DVD Bottoms Up (2006) (V) and her own TV show, the fish-out-of-water reality series "The Simple Life" (2003).
Hilton also has plans to become a player in the music business, has recorded an album and even started her own music label, Heiress Records, in order to release it.
Hilton is widely scorned for what some see as her narcissism, shallow intellect and materialism and for other things besides, but she seems to be aware of the old adage that there's no such thing as bad publicity and it should be evident even to her detractors that she is ambitious and driven to achieve, rather than simply basking in her family's vast fortune, as do so many other socialites. In fact, performing is only part of her many activities and she has dabbled in designing, writing (one hastens to add, with a professional writer on the team), nightclub management and even marketing video games - all of which feature Paris Hilton, front and center.

Personal Quotes
I don't want to be known as the grand-daughter of the Hiltons. I want to be known as Paris.
I went to Wal-Mart for the first time. I always thought they sold wallpaper. I didn't realise it has everything. You can get anything you want there for really, really cheap.
I think the biggest misconception about me is that I'm this spoiled brat. But I'm not. I'm the total opposite.
If you have a beautiful face you don't need big fake boobs to get anyone's attention.
I desperately hate one thing about my body. I have size 11 feet. Yeah, it sucks, because I see all these super cute shoes in the stores: Guccis, YSLs, Manolos. And when they bring them out in my size, they look like clown shoes.
People think I'm stupid. But I'm smarter than most people.
The Backstreet Boys were so ten years ago. Whatever.
No matter what a woman looks like, if she's confident, she's sexy.
The only person who really knows me is Nicky (Nicky Hilton). And not many people know this, but my sister is one of the funniest people you'll ever meet.
[Newsweek interview, June 2005]: I thought it was cute to play a dumb blonde. On TV, I do it because it's funny. I consider myself a businesswoman and a brand. I don't enjoy going out anymore. It's such a pain. It's everyone saying, "Let's do a deal! Can I have a picture?" I'm just, like, "These people are such losers. I can't believe I used to love doing this".
I have always had a voice and always known I could sing, but I was too shy to let it come out. I think that is the hardest thing you can do, to sing in front of people. When I finally let go and did it, I realised it is what I am most talented at and what I love to do the most.
Once you hear the music, you can't knock it. I go to clubs and I play it and don't tell anyone it's me. If everyone knew "This is Paris Hilton", they'd stop and judge.
I've had a lot of stalker incidents and I usually can handle them, but the scariest one was when a guy turned up at my dad's office and said he was my fiancé.
I'm the nicest, most loyal person in the world when it comes to my friends. I would really do almost anything to make sure they're happy.But I only want friends who are there for me just like I'm there for them. Otherwise it's too painful.
I brought Nicole (Nicole Richie) on to _"Simple Life, The" (2003) and, all of a sudden, she became this different person. She dropped her old friends and she's someone else.
Nicole (Nicole Richie) and I are not enemies, but I can't be friends with someone who doesn't want good things for me.
I'm serious about acting and I have a bunch of movies lined up. I think I can become a good actress. It's something I want to prove to myself and to other people. I feel I'm getting better and feeling more confident about what I can do as an actress.
There's nobody in the world like me. I think every decade has an iconic blonde, like Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana and, right now, I'm that icon.
I can't walk the streets. It's too embarrassing. I don't want to go out anymore. I don't want to party.
I take my dog Tinkerbell seriously. I take my job seriously. But I don't take myself all that seriously.
I talk in that baby talk voice when I'm on TV, it's a put on.
One of my heroes is Barbie. She may not do anything, but she always looks great doing it.
"I haven't seen it, but when people copy you, that's like the most flattering thing, so whatever people can say, I just laugh about it. It doesn't matter to me." (On "South Park: Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset (#8.12)" (2004))
The best thing about having your own nightclub is that everything's free and you can tell the DJ to play whatever you want.
The root of all evil is not money, it's boredom.
'"If you want to make the camera your friend, pretend it's a cute boy!"
[On her planned space flight in 2009] I'm very scared to do it. What if I don't come back? With the whole light-years thing, what if I come back 10,000 years later, and everyone I know is dead? I'll be like: 'Great. Now I have to start all over.'

Wouldn't it have been classic if he was shopping with a buddy? Ya know, J.T is there to help him out with a ring, he goes to the washroom and there's J.T, alone.
An unlikely story but hey......
I hope that these guys actually last. I hope that Jessica doesn't shave her head again...oh wait, that was Britney ... blush .... his ex-girlfriend.
Good luck you two....well, the wedding is in the summer, a few months to go......let's hope they don't cave under the ever watchful eye of the paparazzi.
Work from home - Not a biz opp, just a cool story
A home business is by far the best way to support yourself. Especially if you don't play nice with others....maybe my wife is right? I work at home, could it be because of.....oh sorry, forgot I was in the middle of writing for you, my loyal fan....fans?...
There are countless ways to work from home and most of them are so odd that they go totally unnoticed as idiotic or "it'll never make money..." and these ARE indeed the business' that home workers are most successful in.
Need an example do ya? Glad you do as I will oblige, don't I always....
A man in the USA lost his job, surprise, surprise....did he mull around and mope?
Nope. He got to work. He got to thinking outside the box. He, like all of us, didn't want to lose his home, his lively hood....he didn't want to feel sub-human. Who does?
He looked around the area he lived in and noticed a lot of the homes up for sale due to foreclosure in his neck of the woods. I am sure a great sorrow hit his heart when he saw this most depressing sight. But he realized something. The properties looked horrible. The lawns were no longer green and vibrant.
Not a good thing for several reason's but a main reason is for home-owner's not at risk of losing their homes. What's the risk?
If a neighborhood has ugly looking yards, it looks like a sub standard place to live, not a good selling point. People simply didn't have the extra money to care for their lawns or maybe they didn't figure their was a point with foreclosure looming over their heads.
He saw an opportunity in this. He researched and found out what type of paint is used on football fields. Yes, you read that right. Football fields.
Okay, it might not be much of a profit to paint one home's lawn, but there is a DEMAND. There will be a great demand and it's pennies on the dollar.
Word spreads and he starts franchising and so on and so on, you get the idea.
My friends, it is in these times, when it is down to lose it or win it, that we find our greatest strengths. If we have the belief in ourselves.
As Yoda put it so many years ago.....Do or Do Not....There is No Try.
If you've already hit rock bottom, you can only go up from here.
Think outside the box.
And if you think there is no hope.....then the video below is for you.
It's not a sales pitch.
It's a song to lift you up because I care.
Take care and don't lose faith :)

Is Rihanna pregnant? - A blogspot fairy tale
Don't know, rumurs are sketchy, so I won't comment on that ... however.....
According to E!, the crooner (Chris Brown) and his codependent cutie (Do I really have to say her name)may be putting aside their differences — he likes slugging her in the face, something that, well, Rihanna just doesn't like .... hmmm... wonder why...anyway ... to make lovely (um, er, um) music together.
The crazy little love birds have reconciled, much to the delight of paparazzi everywhere, no doubt, bad press is great press ... remember ...
Anyway they have been working on a duet that Brown is hoping to include on his new album, (you mean someone is actually gonna keep him on board ... SHOCKING) which is due out later in '09.... I can't wait .... it will make a perfect aid in my dart game, the cover that is ;)
A studio source tells E! News. “They’ve been working on it together,” the insider says. (The source didn't want to be identified for fear of beatings ... just kidding .... geez.)
In the meantime, while E! had learned that Brown’s brief hiatus from music making ended more than a week ago and that he is currently working in Los Angeles on this upcoming album, Rihanna’s readiness to record again had remained up in the air until this weekend. Money talks to all as they say. Mind you, she has a great voice.
Some "producer" Adonis Shropshire (one of the most talented producer's in the industry, in my opinion) said that Rihanna was indeed back in the studio.
He said that Rihanna takes her refuge out in music, kinda like C.B. takes his out on her......okay maybe that was a little overboard.
It's odd she choose's music, intelligent women, er, I mean most other women in similar circumstances might take refuge by, oh I don't know, running for dear life.
If the two lovebirds have trouble coming up with an original tune, they could always record a cover. Something truly befitting of their relationship like this gem:
“Hit Me, Baby, One More Time.”

A little gem - Keira Knightly
Another wonderful actress. Young and incredibly talented to boot.
At only 22 years of age she has quite a resume already:
First drew notice in 'Bend It Like Beckham';
made swordplay sexy in 'Pirates of the Caribbean';
got an Oscar nod for her saucy turn in 'Pride & Prejudice'
Don't forget her dramatic roles:
Beginning with the devastating WWII-set 'Atonement' (Dec. 25), for which she'll likely get Oscar nomination No. 2, and 2008's 'The Duchess'
Worth Knowing: She made her film debut as Natalie Portman's handmaiden in 'Star Wars: Episode I' (1999).
Her Hollywood Industry Buzz has this to say: "Her range and sassy star quality, tomboy sexiness and outspoken, deliciously foul mouth all mark Knightley as the potential Katharine Hepburn of the 21st Century." -- Bob Strauss, Film Critic, Los Angeles Daily News

A rising star in the Twilight - Kristen Stewart
Not a very well known fact is that Kristen got her start in movies playing Jodie Foster's diabetic daughter in Panic Room, she rose to the A-list status after starring in the amazingly huge box office hit Twilight.
For the sequel, "New Moon," she is going to cash in with earning $12 million plus a cut of the profits. She can't even legally drink, she's only 18.
In case you guys didn't notice a theme here, the next few days or so will be covering up and coming young talent.

Jonas Brother's
These guys are set on taking over Hollywood, seriously.
I am not a huge fan of theirs, no offense guys .. there's an age gap;) but my girls love em. So they can't be all that bad.
Their names are Kevin, Joe and Nick and they are teens.
Already they are worth lots of money and they seem to be well grounded, a testament to their parents raising them properly I deem.
They also have a movie coming out this weekend called Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experience, yes I have been bothered for ticket money already.
The younger generation knows how to make money, let's just hope they make good adults and not drama cases.

This just in - ‘Online bum’ chronicles his story on Web site
I love this story, I really do. These guys are trying to help the homeless and right off the bat they are getting advocate stupidity...why don't these people say thanks!?
Rhetorical, here's the story.
Homeless advocates bristle at controversial name: pimpthisbum.com
Not that long ago, only a few weeks ago, Tim Edwards was just another one of several men begging for change at a busy Houston underpass, ignored by most drivers.
Now, thanks to an Internet marketing campaign and unlikely allies, Edwards has become the human face of homelessness to thousands of online viewers drawn to his Web site by its deliberately controversial name — Pimp This Bum.
During regular Webcasts, countless visitors to www.pimpthisbum.com ask questions about the man, soon to most certainly become the next best thing for debate, they ask about Edwards himself, his life and his slow fall from office manager with a home, car, and a future to a nameless face, a shell of a man short of hope and with little prospect of help.
The Web site also is a venue where visitors can donate money, services and goods to help Edwards yank himself out of this sad and unfortunate state of homelessness.
Some advocates say it makes Edwards a victim of exploitation, but the organizers say that edgy tone is what makes the project succeed. And succeed it will, it's fresh, savy and new....exactly what the net needs.
"We wanted to insult people's sensitivities so that they would go to the site and see Tim, and people seem to have fallen in love with him. He's funny and doesn't blame the world for his situation," said Kevin Dolan, 55, a marketing specialist from the Houston suburb of Katy who started the Web site with his 24-year-old son, Sean.
If the site had been called "Help the Homeless," many Web surfers might just have clicked on past, says Sean.
It's true isn't it. That is such a normal everyday phrase, drilled in our brains.
With this website up it will give people more insight into a homeless person's daily life and maybe removing the stereotype of how most of us see them now.
"I'm the world's first online bum," jokes Edwards, a lanky, bearded 37-year-old who talks about life on the streets with a mix of dark humor and unvarnished honesty. "The whole idea of this project is to get people off the street. I'm the pioneer, but I've got friends behind me. If I don't get this right, it ain't gonna work for them."
It's a great idea for the homeless and it gives Tim a sense of worthiness and purpose ofter 5 years of being on the street.
Check out the site and meet Tim.

This just in - A great thing we should all help with
I'll pass on a huge commentary, I helped....I hope you can/will also.
Alleged drug smuggler nabbed with cocaine cast
Okay with all of the negative things this week, I thought we needed some humor on the blog, it is a weekend after all.
Here are the details for today's storyboard.
Police in Madrid, Spain arrested a 66 year old Chilean man who attempted to smuggle drugs. I, personally am against drugs, but give the man kudo's for creativity at least.
He had them hidden in a cast for his leg (which really was broken). The cast was made of cocaine. Classic.
If that wasn't enough he also had cocaine hidden in six beer cans that were emptied, packed and resealed and also inside the tiny legs of two folding stools.
The man has pizazz I'll give him that.
He had about 11 pounds on him. That must be worth a lot on the street.
Oh one last thing, police aren't even sure if he broke it intentionally for the smuggling attempt. Maybe one of his fellow crooks said "Hey man, break a leg" to wish him good luck!!
Don't do drugs kids.
Here are the details for today's storyboard.
Police in Madrid, Spain arrested a 66 year old Chilean man who attempted to smuggle drugs. I, personally am against drugs, but give the man kudo's for creativity at least.
He had them hidden in a cast for his leg (which really was broken). The cast was made of cocaine. Classic.

This just in - Rihanna and CHris Brown Married
Holy Cow!!!!
Folks, I report what I know to be true, in this case......well, reliable sources say it is so.
Read on.....
Rihanna reportedly married Chris Brown during their trip to Miami, Florida.
According to the rumour mill, sources close to Rihanna have revealed that not only is she back with Chris Brown, after all of the assaults and paparazzi craziness but the two secretly married at Puff Diddy's (Sean Combs) Miami home. Star magazine reports that Brown proposed to Rihanna in Florida, while the two made up following their "little" domestic violence incident which occurred February 8.
The wedding ceremony was intimate, attended by only close friends and family.
The source revealed, "All she's ever wanted was to be with him forever. Rihanna is looking for the husband-and-two kids deal before she turns 25. She believes in fairytales, and she wants to live hers with Chris." The newlyweds are now planning on returning to Los Angeles together.
Good luck to you both.
I guess it's true, nothing can stop true love.
I wish them the best .... what else can we say?

The Next Airline Fee
What's next?
I just read this article about an airline company, Spirit which is thinking about charging a "passenger usage fee" — perhaps $5 to $10 per ticket — for the privilege of buying a ticket anyplace other than at Spirit's airport ticket counters.
The fee, designed to cover reservation-booking costs, will be part of Spirit's aggressive and edgy strategy, which doesn't always fly well with passengers, no kidding.
For now rival companies aren't looking at charging the same fee.....they will if it becomes profitable.
I mean come on, times are tough and that 10 bucks might be too much for people. I don't know about the rest of North America or the world for that matter but up here in Canada we have our train service plugging everywhere with cheaper rates to get folks to travel the rails and the airlines are lower prices not adding extra fee's.
Hell I'd take the train if I didn't have to travel 45 minutes to get to it.
Gotta love that stupid decision; take a train out of a city with 70,000 people and put it in city with 15,000.
Smart, huh.
Airline companies wake up and be smart. Extra fee's means less business.

Chris Brown Charged with Two Felonies in Rihanna Beating
Shockingly, at the very least, the charges make sense.
The charges are assault and making criminal threats after the alleged beating of his girlfriend Rihanna last month. Even though the couple seem to have reconciled, the case is proceeding accordingly. As it should be, he need's to be held accountable for his actions.
If convicted he is looking at probation or up to a maximum of 4 years in a state prison. The incident happened about a month ago and after the charges and a leaked photo became public knowledge the pair went their separate ways.
Didn't last long now did it?
He punches her in the face, tells her he's gonna kill her, puts her n a headlock until she almost passes out...no I am not making this up, I saw it on his first appearance in court via the news.....she takes this piece of crap back......wow!
Whatever happens the outcome has had a sobering effect on each of them I imagine.
Brown lost a sponsor, at least for awhile and lost the respect of every "real" man on the planet.
Rihanna shocked everyone and subsequently lost the respect of a lot of people, especially women and victims of partner abuse.
But hey, he's a star.....O.J. got away with murder right.....but he (O.J) eventually went to jail....we'll see how this plays out
Always remember this folks. You cannot, let me repeat that, you CANNOT call yourself a man when you hit a woman....that's called a Chicken Sh!t B!TCH ... Coward.
His parent's must be soooo proud to have raised such a "gentleman".
Like it or not, it's my opinion.

Winning the lottery is one thing but $216 million.....
N.J. insurance workers hit $216M payout<10 co-workers show off winning ticket for Mega Millions lottery
That's hard to believe for anyone. What's more incredible is that after making sure you and your co-worker's won you still haven't collected the cash!
The gas station owner wants them to collect so he get's his $10,000 bonus simply for selling the winning ticket.
Times are tough for some, these folks just got a great gift. A winner's life.
The coolest part of this story is this; a regular buyer, Oscar Oviedo, asked Space to count him in and promised $5 for his share. Space rushed over to him early Wednesday morning and demanded the money.

"I thought: 'How rude!'" Oviedo said with a laugh, recalling how he handed over $5, unsure why Space was being so insistent. "Then he said, 'OK, thanks — you're a millionaire.'"
