How to Solve the World’s Toilet Crisis

According the U.S. State Department, the World Health Organization, and UNICEF, the world's greatest infectious killer is not malaria, AIDS, or TB, but poop. An estimated 2.6 billion people, about 40% of the world's population, including 1 billion children, have no access to toilets of any kind and must practice open defecation. The result is a continual pandemic of intestinal afflictions that kill 2 million people a year. In this episode of Vanguard, Adam Yamaguchi travels to India and Indonesia to see how the toiletless world deals with poop. It's in the streets, in the fields and, most dangerously, in the very water from which they drink. When it doesn't go down the toilet, poop is everywhere. Adam travels to India and Singapore to investigate what's being done to curb this silent epidemic. “The World's Toilet Crisis” airs Wednesday, June 9 at 10/9c.

Tila Tequila: I’m an Intelligent Pill Popper!

It’s sad, but true: Hollywood may be running out of attention-starved drug and/or alcohol addicts. As a result, another season of VH1’s Celebrity Rehab may not air. If it does, though, Tila Tequila is on board . Her inclusion in this exploitive, Dr. Drew-hosted series was announced earlier in the week, although no specific reason was given for Tila’s casting… … until now. Yesterday, Tequila started a series of messages on her official website by writing: “I KNOW I am an EXTREMELY smart girl, and to run all these empires when I am not even 30 yet, is quite an accomplishment, however I finally admitted to myself that I cannot rely on taking prescription pills everyday for the rest of my life!” Yes, in Tila’s mind, running a website that one can purchase from GoDaddy.com for $10.99 is considered an “empire.” While owning up to her addiction, Tila called out the celebrity gossip world’s most notorious party-hopper. She wrote: “I MUST not be another “ LINDSAY LOHAN ” where I just flush everything I worked so hard for down the toilet for nothing…” From there, Tequila asked us “haters” what we would do now that she’s “getting help.” We were stumped by that question, until Tequila added that she planned on spinning off Celebrity Rehab into her own, sober-based show that might also include a search for a new mate. Thank goodness, too. We were almost gonna give this professional headline-seeker props for actually placing concerns regarding her own health over plans for her career. Almost. Seriously, who invited Tila Tequila to the Maxim Hot 100 Party?

Emma Roberts’ Hotness Disappoints

There was a lot of buzz surrounding Emma Roberts turning eighteen a while back, mostly from fat dudes blogging in their underpants (I take offense to that), but I have to say that aside from a few bikini pictures she’s been a little bit of a let down. Here she is at some event looking like her pet guinea pig just passed away. Cheer up princess, it’ll be okay, we’ll have a very touching ceremony before we flush him down the toilet. Anyhow, sad eyes aside she’s still wearing a nice little outfit and heels so I had to put her on the site. Enjoy.
