President Obama Slams Mitt Romney, Big Oil in New TV Ad

It’s begun. With Mitt Romney’s three-primary sweep this week, he effectively made his clinching the Republican presidential nomination a matter of when, not if. Not surprisingly, President Obama has released a new TV ad this week, in response to criticism he’s incurred from oil companies – and Mitt Romney. The President argues that he has actually boosted domestic oil production, and is only a target because he sought to end tax breaks for oil corporations. Tax breaks that would ease the burden on average Americans – by his calculus, at least. Obama’s ad not-so-subtly links big oil to, you guessed it, Mitt. Watch: Obama TV Ad – Remember If the election were today, who would you vote for?

Vanessa Williams Admits Suffering Sexual Abuse as a Child

Desperate Housewives star Vanessa Williams is bravely and surprisingly opening up about sexual abuse she endured as a 10-year-old at the hands of a teenage girl. In a revealing interview in the new issue of People , Williams says the incident occurred when she was staying with family friends and their 18-year-old daughter. The 18-year-old entered her room and “pulled down the bloomers of my cotton baby doll pajamas,” said Vanessa. “I lay there paralyzed. What was I going to do?” Williams remained close-lipped about the sexual abuse for many years, but is now sharing her secret in her upcoming memoir, fittingly titled You Have No Idea . Despite the childhood trauma, the former Miss America said it didn’t emotionally scar her for life – however, there were long-lasting, indirect consequences. “It didn’t paralyze me, and I don’t dwell,” she explained, although it did cause her to act more rebellious and “pull away” from her parents as a youngster.
