News the Stars Bring Today

Jack Cashill, American Thinker reports about the actual crime of rape that Roman Polanski committed in the 70’s. For Hollywood, the rape that Polanski committed doesn’t seem like such a big deal, in fact, whoopi sid “It wasn’t rape-rape,” as if it were some minor indiscretion. However, Mr. Cashill examined the testimony of the victim, Samantha Geimer, and, apparently it wasn’t quite so innocent. Polanski got the 13 yr old drunk, gave her a Quaalude, then started “cuddling” her. After he began penetrating her vaginally, he discovered she wasn’t on birth control, so, he penetrated her anus. Throughout this, Ms. Geimer had been protesting that she wanted to go home.

Polanski pled guilty to the crime in 1978 and then escaped to France, where he has been living for the past 30 yrs. “Polanski, 76, was taken into custody on Saturday after arriving in Switzerland to receive a lifetime achievement award at the Zurich Film Festival the next day,” according to Zero. Polanski has avoided countries that have an extradition treaty with the US, but Switzerland does have one, but may not be too tight.

Frankly, I think that Whoopi needs to come out of her cacoon. If that was her grandkid, she would be whopping mad.

He’s no newcomer to the Public, after winning Popstars with the group “Rivals” in 2002, but the band broke up and he decided to try his luck with X Factor, as a soloist. He’s also a songwriter and actor and you can hear some of his songs on his Myspace page. I found his birth date (5/29/78), so I looked at his astrology to see if he might have a chance, and he does: his Moon is in Aquarius, and since Jupiter is transiting in Capricorn, the timing is auspicious for wealth.

Here he is singing “Kiss From a Rose” (Seal):

It appears that, according to the Super Heroes of Barack Obama.com, that the opponents of Embalmacare are “heirs of Bin Laden.” What is also unusual about the Super heroes’ endorsement is that they claimed to have some kind of religious standing too, as they rebuked the “proud right wing terrorists” as taking the advice of “False prophets.”

The Super Heroes go on to report that “We Are The Super-Heroes Who Yes WE DID, and YES, WE SHALL commence administering Super-Hero Karate Chops, beginning now.” Possibly, this message is directed to the under 20 group, as they were so effective in shaming their parents to vote for Obama in the primaries. Remember Senator McAskill’s teenage daughter convinced her to swing her vote for Obama?

Well, let’s have a good laugh on this one. According to Kristen Atkinson, Michelle Obama’s mother, Marian Robinson is practicing Santeria in the White House.

Of course, there were no links, no sources, for this absurd allegation provided. As far as I can see, this is just another attempt from a ‘mole’ to discredit conservatives, who may think that Obama is a Usurper. Of course, those are legitimate complaints, given his secretive past. However, this attempt to discredit him is ridiculous. First of all, if his Mother-in-law was practicing Santeria, he would probably be a lot more successful and popular than he is now, with his ratings dipping below 50%. BTW, the Supreme court defended the right of people to practice Santeria in 1993, according to Apologetics

The Italian X Factor is in its second season and it’s always so exciting and competitive. Like Denmark, each judge (musical producer Mara Maionchi, the singer Morgan and the very popular TV hostess Simona Ventura) is a mentor to certain contestants (groups, and age groups.) Last year, the Aram Quartet, mentored by Morgan, won. This year Matteo Becucci won in April.

Matteo has just finished his X Factor tour, but you can check his upcoming engagements on his Official Myspace. Unbelievably, he is 38 years old, and hails from Livorno, Italy, and I think he looks like Bon Jovi. Here is Matteo singing David Bowie’s song “Starman” (April 1972).

Chiana Pelekai

No one expects a little 8 year old to have a very mature voice, but the judges and the audience at America’s got Talent were in for a big surprise, when tiny 8 yr old Chiana Pelekai came on the stage, showing off her new dress. She is on youtube with her older sister, Teilliana, and has competed in many contests before. Here she is singing Etta James’ R & B song (1961) “At last”.

When she was 7 years old, here she is singing “Listen” Dream Girls in Honolulu. Chiana is often compared to another Asian singer, Charice Pempengco, age 17, from the Philippines.

Mohamed Ali, Denmark

Denmark X Factor is in its second season. Last year, Martin Hoberg Hedegaard, a 15 year old, won the competition. He’s something of a Danish Justin Timberlake, and does a pretty decent Moonwalk. The last three finalists this year, were 15 yr old Mohamed Ali, the Alien Beat Club, and Linda Andrews. I particularly enjoyed Mohamed Ali; both he and last year’s winner, Martin, were coached by the Danish music producer Remee (Mikkel Johan Eemer Sigvardt) (the judge with the hat). Here’s Mohamed singing a famous Michael Jackson song, “I Want You Back” (1969):

Ms. Andrews, 35, was the public’s favorite and went on to win, but I’m sure that the charismatic Mohamed Ali will have an illustrious career. She is actually from the Faroe Islands, which is an autonomous province of the Kingdom of Denmark, halfway between Scotland and Iceland. Here she is, early in the competition, singing one of Duffy’s tunes, “Mercy“(You can see her daughter in the audience.)

For someone supposedly with a law degree, Mr. Obama sure can “shoot his mouth”, when, as he said on Wednesday night, he wasn’t aware of the particulars of the situation in which Prof. Henry Gates was arrested, having forced his way into his home. It probably would have been prudent to just say that and no more. But, as is his habit, “The One” likes to use the “race card,” and said the officer acted “stupidly” and was a “racist.”

Now, I grew up near, and went to school, in Cambridge. Believe me, those police officers are totally groomed for the job. With tons of international students of all races, the police are definitely not going to be racial profiling.

In addition, it turns out that Officer Crowley was the one who performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on Boston Celtics Reggie Lewis in 1993, when Crowley was an EMT, according to Hot Air. Additionally, “Cambridge Sgt. James Crowley has taught a class about racial profiling for five years at the Lowell Police Academy after being hand-picked for the job by former police Commissioner Ronny Watson, who is black, said Academy Director Thomas Fleming.”

Apparently, when Officer Crowley asked Professor Gates to speak with him on his porch, the Professor responded belligerently, “I’ll speak with your mama outside.” To me, it sounds like Professor Gates didn’t handle this well at all, and caused a great disturbance that blew up in his face.

I personally have a great deal of respect for Professor Gates and have some of his books. However, possibly there is a medical explanation for the Professor’s disorientation. I pray that all goes well for him. He surely wasn’t in his right mind.

Wikipedia states that a locally produced version of Sesame Street was produced in Indonesia in Feruary, 2008, when Barack Hussein Obama was running for the President of the United States. However, Nancy Gibbs at Times, apparently didn’t do her research, before writing the article “Tickle Me Obama,” and stated that Barry and his sister had grown up watching Sesame Street, or Jalan Sesama , as it is called in Indonesia.

First of all, Sesame Street’s original production premiered November 10, 1969, and Barry was 8 years old. The Indonesian-dubbed version, Open Sesame aired in 1976, when Barry was 15. Do 15 yr-olds watch Sesame Street? His sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, was born August 15, 1970, when he was 9. So, if he watched Sesame Street with his sister, then she would have been 6 and he would have been 15; however, he claims in his memoirs that he left Indonesia, when he was 10 to live with his maternal grandparents in Hawaii.

It appears that the Times’ senior editor, Nancy Gibbs, is just another hoodwinked journalist. she says: “It (Sesame Street) creates citizens of a highly globalized, post-racial world. “The only kids who can identify along racial lines with the Muppets,” genius puppeteer Jim Henson observed, “have to be either green or orange…(a little more propaganda from Gibbs): “Given the hard choices, does the President think we’re ready to handle complexity and delay gratification?” (Promoting his “we must all make sacrifices?”)

All words, just words. This writer is not much of a journalist to be writing gibberish at what used to be an honorable news media, Times. At another time, Gibbs “compared Obama in Time to a prince born in a manger”, according to Newsbusters

Here he is spewing his propaganda, making it up as he goes along:

Even though Ms Boyle came in the runner-up in Britain’s Got Talent, it seems that every day, some of her musical accomplishments are uncovered. This is beautiful recording, uncovered by The Telegraph. The two songs she recorded are “Cry Me A River” and “Killing Me Softly”, both originally recorded by Ms. Roberta Flack in 1973.

According to the Telegraph: “The recording unearthed by Telegraph.co.uk is an earlier demo tape that Ms Boyle had produced to send to record companies, and to local and national TV and radio talent competitions including Michael Barrymore’s My Kind of People, for which she later auditioned but was rejected.

The recording was made at her own expense with Miss Boyle telling friends at the time that she had “spent all her savings” on it.” According to the Mirror, the album is being rushed off to the States, and they expect it will bring in 6 million pounds.

The Telegraph also reported that welsh born Catherine Zeta Jones was very inspired by Ms Boyle and has asked for the film rights to represent Ms Boyle, if and when her life story is done. She certainly has a compelling story, as “the 48-year-old spinster was born with minor brain damage and has learning difficulties.“(The Mirror)
