2 year old smoking cigarette video

2-year-old Ardi Rizal is said to be seriously hooked on smoking, consuming two packs of cigarettes a day. The story first ran on Metro.co.uk, who spoke with little Ardi’s parents about his alleged disconcerting habit. Ardi’s 26-year-old mom Diana comments: ‘He’s totally addicted. If he doesn’t get cigarettes, he gets angry and screams and batters his head against the wall. He tells me he feels dizzy and sick.’ You may have seen this posted on Facebook or tweeted on Twitter- a shocking video of

Heidi Montag Packs Heat, Covets Transformers Role

Heidi Montag wants to star in Transformers 3. The events seen on this week’s Lost finale will come true before that happens, but her lobbying for the role resulted in an excuse to post these pics, so we’ll permit it. Speaking of permits, hopefully she and Spencer Pratt have the proper documentation for those guns. No, really, they are packing serious heat at the shooting range: EXHIBITS A & B : Of why our nation needs an assault weapons ban . In an effort to land the movie role vacated by Megan Fox, the 23-year-old Hills star posted a 30-second video clip of her shooting skills on her Facebook page. Heidi turns to the camera and says, “This is for you, Michael Bay,” before moving around a firing range hitting targets … from just a few feet away. Amazing. While you’d probably rather look at Megan Fox pictures than Heidi Montag pictures, the former hasn’t brought along the paparazzi to the firing range lately. That we know of, anyway. Anyway, click to enlarge these hilarious Speidi pics: [Photos: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]

Is Doris Day the New Betty White?

The organizers behind one Facebook campaign would like to think so, but they’re not stopping at a barnburning guest-host stint on SNL ; they want gold . “Doris Day to be (finally) Honored by the Oscars?” has launched its bid for the 88-year-old legend to collect some honorary hardware at next year’s Academy Awards. Its argument? “As of 2009, Doris Day was the top-ranking female box office star of all time and ranked sixth among the top ten box office performers (male & female). Isn’t it time the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences pulled out an HONORARY OSCAR AWARD ?” Well? [ Facebook ]

Facebook’s New Privacy Controls: The Good and the Shameful [Your Privacy Is An Illusion]

In response to a backlash over its recent privacy rollbacks, Facebook will consolidate its many control panels into a simplified new privacy interface. But users are still pushed to overshare, and still have to opt out of egregious privacy breaches. More

Heidi Montag Has NO FRIENDS

Yup. No friends. Those are her own words. CAPS LOCK and all. Heidi Montag channeled her inner Kanye today in a Twitter rampage against peeps masquerading as such. Specifically, “the ones who are pretending to be ‘friends’ or ‘family,’ [who are] are crazy, angry, broke, and bitter.” This is why “they haven’t been in my life for years! ” The fired-up Tweets came just a week after an emotional episode of The Hills where Montag told Kristin Cavallari her life was “really hard” without friends and family. Hey, at least she has Spencer Pratt … if that’s even a positive thing. It’s probably the biggest reason why SHE HAS NO FRIENDS when you stop and think about it. Besides, there must be someone out there she can talk to. Come on, Heidi. Keep your fake chin up. We highly doubt your Twitter and Facebook followers total zero. NOTE : Follow the links to follow THG on Twitter and Facebook ! HEIDI MONTAG EATS IT : Whether it’s any consolation, we can’t say. But if nothing else, you know ice cream won’t betray you.

What do you think of Facebook’s privacy bungles? How can Facebook restore its image?

After a month of criticism about the continuous changes to Facebook's privacy policies, CEO Mark Zuckerberg came out and acknowledged the company had made mistakes.

What if the Tea Party was black?

Imagine that hundreds of black protesters were to descend upon Washington DC and Northern Virginia, just a few miles from the Capitol and White House, armed with AK-47s, assorted handguns, and ammunition. And imagine that some of these protesters —the black protesters — spoke of the need for political revolution, and possibly even armed conflict in the event that laws they didn’t like were enforced by the government? Would these protester — these black protesters with guns — be seen as brave defenders of the Second Amendment, or would they be viewed by most whites as a danger to the republic? What if they were Arab-Americans? Because, after all, that’s what happened recently when white gun enthusiasts descended upon the nation’s capital, arms in hand, and verbally announced their readiness to make war on the country’s political leaders if the need arose. added by: WarrenOatesLives
