Paying for the Forbidden Apple

Strike 1 Summary :
>Vivid Entertainment wants to pay her a million dollars to star in a prn flick.

> Pink Entertainment wants to supply her a year's worth of diapers to not be in the industry in the first place and be a good mum.

The mother of octuplets born last month in California was targeted by rival bids from adult entertainment companies Thursday, including an offer of one million dollars to star in a porn movie.

Nadya Suleman, who has been at the center of a fierce debate in the media and medical arenas since giving birth to eight children last month, is now embroiled in a public relations spat involving rival purveyors of porn.

Los Angeles-based Vivid Entertainment, the world's largest adult film producer, announced that it had offered Suleman one million dollars plus a year of health insurance if the unemployed 33-year-old starred in a porn movie.

"There is a tremendous amount of interest in Nadya and we can help her capitalize on that interest and put some real cash in her bank account," said Vivid co-chairman Steven Hirsch.

But rival porn company Pink Visual has responded by urging Suleman not to participate in the Vivid movie -- and offered her a year's supply of diapers for her octuplets if she turns down the offer.

But get this, it ain't out to pull her to be in front of their cameras instead but to totally dissuade her from being part of the adult entertainment industry in the first place.

Pink Visual's manager Kim Kysar said in a letter to Suleman that the company's offer was being made as a gesture of "social responsibility."

"It simply isn't in your best interest, and more importantly, in the best interest of your children, for you to become a porn star,"

Kysar wrote.

"As you know, there's a great deal of stigma attached to being a porn star. It's not something that a mother should take lightly, as this decision will most assuredly affect the lives of your children, and not in a positive way."

The company said it was offering Suleman one year's supply of "real cloth diapers."

"It's not a million dollars but accepting our offer will directly benefit your children in two ways: they will be assured of having clean, dry diapers and their mother will not become the subject of endless ridicule," Kysar wrote.

Suleman was not immediately available for comment.

Ah.. the wonders of a pornographer with a heart. ^^p

Q ... Seriously, dear Mama of so many kids, pls don't let your kids suffer the life long trauma of going " isnt' that Mum?!"

Fit for Granted. Fat By Choice.

Paul "PJ'" James piled on the kilos despite the adonis that he is just so to relate better to fat people.

Having the kind of body most of us will die for and seeing him throw it all away seems ludicrous. (Yes, I do still feel it that way! )

But seeing his reasoning behind it and firstly, you think he is crazy, secondly, you think he is brave , thirdly, you see him being self-sacrificial bordering self destructive but ultimately, and lastly , just totally making sense.

The former model and current trainer made it his New Year's resolution to pack on the pounds so he could better relate to his clientele.

The Daily Mail reports:

'I was finding it difficult to relate to my overweight gym members so I have decided to crank up my weight to experience life as an overweight person,' said the 32-year-old,

who trains at a gym in Melbourne.

After an inaugural meal of four doner kebabs, the Australian trainer has stopped his daily routine of exercise and is fattening himself up on a carbohydrate-heavy diet which includes pasta, cream sauces and chocolate.

The former teetotaler now drinks a couple of beers every night to help gain weight.

He hopes to hit 20st by the end of March.

He then aims to spend the following three months at the same weight, to show overweight people that it can be done.

Finally, he plans to resume exercise so that he will be back to his former trim self by October.

'I have always been telling my clients who have come through the gym's doors that weight loss shouldn't be difficult, but it has reached the point where I can't relate and by doing this it should make me a better personal trainer,' he said.

Very inspirational. *

There are a slew of comments saying negative things about him being
'condescending' , 'having an unhealthy ego' and stuff but common, really, I'd love him to become an examplary social and physical experiment to show us all that IT CAN BE DONE.

Makes him my prime choice of a gym trainer anytime. ^^



Q .......Clap clap clap~~!!!!!!!


*My thoughts : Very inspiring. Some trainer who's really putting his all for the clients and not a vain pot himself secretly counting his blessings while thinking why his client(s) is so fat and useless.

Bullish Ambition

Introducing : The 2010 Ford Taurus.

This executive car remains one of the biggest selling executive sedans in the world , right up there with the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord.

These 3 titans constantly wrangled for the top spot in the US automobile market; itelf the biggest in the world.

With impressive size, robust technology, great handling, cutting-edge design and good affordability, it was a natural choice for the up-and-coming being a more viabily sensible alternative to the usual European premium brands.

That is until the world got crazy with soft-roader SUVS and MPVs.

Suddenly even a sedan this big ain't big enough. They were seen as frumpy even with a design so sharp.

Still,

Ford is not letting a legend die of any trendy circumstance so next year, we'll see a long overdue replacement to the iconoclast swoopy. Ford Taurus.

Indeed , it was a child hood fantasy of mine to ever take a ride in it. Or own one.

Ford is reviving its aging legends like the Ford Ka as well. Times like these call for desperately creative measures.

When it ain't broke, don't fix it. When you ARE BROKE (as in literally) FIX IT!!!!

Q... Just don't revive the Ford Model T, please.

Hello Kitty ! Paint Me Pretty :)

MAC and its latest Hello Kitty make up range.

They have had their Dolls association for quite awhile now.

Barbie was once Cover girl.

So were the Fafi Dolls.

The Bratz Dolls and the Blythe dolls could well be next .

Especially the Bratz with their sultry-pout come hither cross-ethnic looks.

Watch this space. ")


Q ... Meow.^^

PS: After all, humans aren't perfect. Only Dolls are. Slap it all on hoping you'd turn into that elusive perfection. So c'mon , don't be afraid to live that sultry Catwoman fantasy and crack that whip hot!

Bag it up, Lady

Long overdue.

Go anywhere.

Make a statement.

Be the statement.

Got one for Nia. ^^

Pur pur with b-ling.

Case of the Curvy?

Kelly think's she's that big. She's really just sore that she's no Tyra.

Kelly Brook blames her large breasts for ruining her modelling career.
Kelly, whose bust size is 32E, gave up on her catwalk dreams because the fashion world didn't like her curvy figure.

She told Love magazine: 'None of the fashion agencies would touch me. Kate Moss ruled - they wanted an androgynous waif.' The 29-year-old brunette - who was recently axed from the 'Britain's Got Talent' judging panel after just five days - started modelling swimwear when she was just 16.

But the TV presenter, who still does shoots for men's magazines, says her sizeable breasts meant she was the 'wrong girl' for fashion.

She said: 'I've always had a problem with them. I've struggled with fashion because of my build and I never have, and never will, be a fashionable-looking girl.

'I was the wrong girl at the wrong time.'

Excuses. Excuses. Excuses.

Being curvy and busty hasn't stopped Supermodel Tyra Banks from becoming one of the fashion industry's all-time biggest names and earners - Ever.

Q... Kelly can't match the stunner that Banks is, that's why one's a failed TV star and the other's one of the richest and most powerful Supemodels of all time.

Lip tasting: The Chemistry of Kissing

Kissing: The buffet of Love Hormones

Yes, Love is blind.
It's all about the taste.


We all know ,

the opportunity to kiss someone you like is Magical.

In fact , it almost ranks higher than sex. ^^)

Some facts I just gotta read off some trivia research papers today i would like to share,and its not just tongues and saliva.

The Raging Hormones of locked Lips:

1) Testosterone: Sex

2) Dopamine: Romance

3) Oxytocin: Relationship

4) Adrenaline: Excitement

5) Endorphin: Happiness

6) Serotonin: Mood

There's research suggesting that a kiss is what breaks or seals the deal for a relationship; whether the partner is really compatible.

So yes, I recommend a Kiss-Buffet.

Getit? Summarised and ready for Love. ;-)

Just like a Circus

Britney's much hyped about come-back is going quite well.

Her 'Womanizer' single is still all over the charts however rubbish and 80's-lame it is.

Her next single 'Circus' (hence the album's name-sake track) is doing rather fine too.

Quite ingenius a song really.

For her to really get back on her feet, she went back to her roots and collaborated with Max Martin, the producer who made her big in the first place with songs like 'Baby one More Time' , 'Crazy' and 'Lucky' ; her well-known showy dance numbers.

The song obviously hints at her loose love life (if you're not intimidated by her star presence you could apparently hook up with her quite easily she says) , pop-star train wreck tendencies and the media swirl that she is.

And yet, brings focus to her favourite place and comfort zone, the dance floor. Where her narcissistic streak is rampant and sexy-wild.

Lyrics:

"There's only two types of people in the world
The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe
Well baby, I'm a put on a show kind of girl
Don't like the back seat, gotta be first

I'm like the ring leader, I call the shots
I'm like a firecracker, I make it hot
When I put on a show

I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage
Better be ready, hope that you feel the same

All eyes on me in the center of the ring,
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip,
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me,
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor,
Just like a circus

There's only two types of guys out there
Ones that can hang with me, and ones that are scared
So baby, I hope that you came prepared
I run a tight ship, so beware

I'm like the ring leader, I call the shots
I'm like a firecracker, I make it hot
When I put on a show

I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer, the dance floor is my stage
Better be ready, hope that you feel the same

All eyes on me in the center of the ring,
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip,
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me,
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor,
Just like a circus

Let's go
A-a-aha
Let me see what you can do
A-a-aha
I'm runnin' this
Like, like, like like a circus
Yeah
Like a what?
Like, like, like a circus

All eyes on me in the center of a ring,
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip,
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me,
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor,
Just like a circus
All eyes on me in the center of a ring,
Just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip,
Just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me,
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor,
Just like a circus"

The Britney we love to hate and hate to love is back... dancin.

Q

Rare Species of Discus fish Discovered

The Discus is a family of revered ornamental fish found predominantly in the Amazon River basin.

Distinguished by their laterally compressed body shape which only serves to exaggerate even further , their distinct wide shape (it is this body shape from which their common name, “discus”, is derived) and generous display of its striking coloration, they are at once strange and unwieldy but also very beautiful; like moving mood boards of art.

Being peaceful and shy creatures only make these fishes harder to come by.

Of all the discus species, this here is by far the rarest of them all.
And needless to say, the most sought-after.

The Luvdisc.

Striking in its pastel to fushsia pink coloration and heart-shaped body, it is easy to see how its name came about.

A surprisingly big fish at 2-feet wide from dorsal to ventral fin (making it possibly the biggest of the discus family) , this is a swift swimmer that can dart quickly to safety and avoidance or to scare off intruders wandering into its territory.


For decades since its existence was confirmed (prior to which it was but a hear-say myth of the jungle villagers ) this immensely reclusive species has managed to escape most human contact, hiding in the deep marshes of the great Amazon.

So rare, that mostly unsubstantiated eye-witness accounts ever really hinted at its existence.

Otherwise, the most concrete evidences, if they ever were considered to be, were only the following:

>A rough sketch by an observant eye-witness.


> An artist's impression of the fish in its natural habitat, based on accounts.


> A scientific drawing of this species.


> A scientific model based on scrap remains found.


>>>However, finally and recently , exactly the day before the day after, man's increasingly habitual wield of the digi-cam every where he goes, paid off, and a lucky explorer observed for a few brief minutes , before seeing it dart off into the murks once more, took the first and only ever photograph of the elusive Luvdisc.

How a fish so big and impossibly striking ,and yet almost impossible to come by, is a testiment of its immense elusiveness.

At the height of its mysterious existence, it's reputation even reached mythology with tribe men hinting that should a couple ever get to see one, they will be blessed with eternal love.

Sweet isn't it? Almost like spotting Nature's Cupid.


Or it was just to motivate some love-lorn couples to really search for this joke of a fish.


Q ...WOW . ^^p

OMG

Fate and Destiny

When there are so much in common that it's not 'Mere Coincidence' anymore.

Does it mean it's 'confidence' and 'Co-existance'?

It's confusing.

It's concerting.

It's convoluted.

It's convincing.

Q ...OMG.
Give time.

Vocation Vacation

Best Job in the World ^^.

As they say, it's not a job. It's a calling.

More than 18,000 people from nearly 200 countries have applied for the "best job in the world," hoping to earn good money for lazing around on an Australian island,

officials said Tuesday.

The deadline for applications for the post of "caretaker" of tropical Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef looms on Sunday -- and the competition is already tough, the Queensland state government warned.

"We've been really overwhelmed by the lengths people are going to to draw attention to their applications," Tourism Queensland spokeswoman Nicole McNaughton told AFP.

"Potential applicants have sent out press releases, sourced their own media coverage and established websites dedicated to their applications."

Candidates are required to create a video application in English of up to one minute explaining why they are uniquely qualified for the job.

The job pays 150,000 Australian dollars (about 100,000 US dollars) for six months and includes free airfares from the successful candidate's home country to the white sands and clear waters of Hamilton Island.

In return, the winner will be expected to have as much fun as he or she can -- soaking up the sun, swimming, snorkeling, sailing -- and report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates.
The successful candidate -- who will stay in a multi-million-dollar three-bedroom beach home -- must be over 18, a "fantastic and charismatic" communicator, and able to speak and write English.

"We need a special person. They are going to be pretty busy having a good time"

Anthony Hayes, Chief Executive, Tourism Queensland


"There are hundreds of islands scattered along the Great Barrier Reef," Mr Hayes told the BBC. "We are looking for someone who can go and explore all the different islands then report back to the world on what they see.

The campaign is a key element in a drive to promote the northeastern Australian state's 18-billion-dollar a year tourism industry during the tough global economic climate,

officials say.

A shortlist of 50 applicants will be announced on March 2, the final 11 candidates will be flown to the island for interviews from May 3, and the winner will be announced on May 6, Tourism Queensland said in a statement.

Job-seekers can apply on www.islandreefjob.com.

Can this be for real?

I'll quit my job like immediately!

Q

Bed Room Politics

A prominent Malaysian opposition politician tearfully offered her resignation Tuesday after photos of her in the nude were circulated to the media.

Elizabeth Wong, one of Malaysia's top human rights activists, blamed government "gutter politics" for the release of the images, which reportedly show her sleeping in her bedroom.

Newspaper reports have speculated that the images may have been taken by a former boyfriend.

"I wish to state that I am not ashamed of my sexuality as a woman and a single person. I have broken no laws. I stand by the fundamental principle in a democracy that everyone has a right to privacy,"

she told a press conference.

The photographs, which are circulating via mobile phone but have not yet been published in the media, have caused a political storm in Malaysia, which is a conservative and predominantly Muslim country.

"She is a single person. How can she allow a man into her room when they are not married? What's the status of the relationship,"

said Mohamad Khir Toyo, the former Barisan Nasional chief minister of Selangor.

Keadilan officials said on condition of anonymity that the party feared other more compromising pictures may emerge unless Wong stands down. ~MSN news


Q .. this makes a Bill Clinton totally porno. ^^

Who is Victoria?

Rather 'what' makes her THE penultimate style Icon?

It is her mega endorsement deals with Armani and the likes?

Or is it her penchant for the hautest Couture?

And the highest heels?

Or her ability to be the sharpest looking girl on the red carpet?

And possibly the luckiest girl there is?

What ever it is, that's Victoria Beckham.

It's Freezing Hot in Here!

Xia Xue
She's Falling Snow.

She's a celebrity whose reputation stems from her powerful words in Cyberspace.

And regardless of what people tag her as being a total biatch, Sarong Parday Gal or media hogger or ... you get the idea, almost like a Singaporean version of Paris Hilton sans the Bentleys and Sex Tape (not quite sure if there won't be one any time now for the latter) , still I find her hot.

A mean 'hotness' really is quite Objectified , no?

Nose job, big blond tresses, blue contacts, fake eye lashes and a ton of kohl and mascara, face powered and blushed to such rosy perfection, lotsa cleavage and toned gams in the highest designer heels. And personality is a plus.

Yeah, I always appreciate a girl that takes the effort to dress up .

That's sexy.

Q ... That's HOT. Yeah, Paris? ^^

J-ust Eh???!

WTF.

Q ....LMAO. Bleah!!! Make it Happen.

V-Day: No Money No Honey?

A sign of over-indulgence deep pockets: matter more than a love-you-deep.

I note and observe that spending by women go up many folds during the recent Valentine's Day weekend.

And so too do the credit card bills of their husbands and boyfriends.

I think the commercial aspect of Valentine's Day is a sad reality of consumerism and cheapened love.

Where the slightest impulse to spend and every excuse to get what's neither important nor symbolic of ones love to the other is getting too prevalent and embarassing.

Depressing.

In times of economic gloom, I think spending should be curbed to help your loved ones survive the storm and save for a better future together.

Credit card bills topple lives and ruin relationships.

So what's Valentine's day to these people these days?

A day to celebrate Lusting Love or a day that broke the bank and the bond that brought 2 people together?

Burn in Hell

My heart bleeds. Drink up baby.. drink up. Very parched you must be. Very lucky you are...

Volunteer firefighter David Tree shares his water with an injured Australian Koala in a charred forest near Mirboo North, in the state of Victoria, after days of fierce wildfires.

The Wildfires that have raged on for the longest time had claimed nearly 200 human lives and countless wildlife.

The worst part is that it's the suspected job of arsonists who torched not once but a chain of incidences.

What could possibly induce such rage and cruelty?

Even terrorism , however warped, has its reasonings behind them.

It burns my heart to observe the aftermath.

I pray for strength of will for those who survive.

Q :(:::

Extra:
This is Sam . (Don't know if it's the same Koala reflected in the first pic above; but it only serve to show how much was devastated; how many innocent lives were lost.)

Sing for Sephora

Yeahhhhh!!!!! Sephora, the world reknowned beauty store and brand-name has finally set up shop here.

Just resist the temptation of biting your self.

Make me stunning.

$erena

The Biggest earning female athlete in History ~ Serena Williams

Serena Williams was facetiously given the media name of $erena earlier this month after breaking Annika Sorenstam's record for the highest career prize money earned by a female athlete.


This might become $erena William$ if she does well at the Dubai Open starting on Sunday.

The Barclays-sponsored dollar fest pays appearance fees which are widely regarded as the biggest on the WTA Tour. That is in addition to two million dollars prize money which alone is equal to any women's tournament outside of the four Grand Slams.

The younger Williams sister reached 23.5 million pounds prize fund earnings in her 14years of professional tennis after winning her tenth Grand Slam title last month -

and at the age of 27 it would be surprising if Serena did not occasionally look at the best earning opportunities available to her.
