Should Phaedra be kicked to the curb? Wendy Williams Wants Phaedra Parks Fired From RHOA Wendy Williams is no longer a fan of Phaedra Parks! Via RadarOnline reports: The talk show host slammed The Real Housewives of Atlanta star during her show Monday afternoon, going as far as declaring that Parks should get the boot off the popular reality franchise – and RadarOnline.com has the details. During her Real Housewives Report Card on The Wendy Williams Show, Williams rehashed the drama that enfolded on Sunday night’s season five reunion show, and had no problem pointing the finger at Parks and declaring her a bad role model. “Phaedra you started out to be everything that a lot of young girls want to be and that is a lawyer or at least somebody that requires a lot of education,” she exclaimed. “You went from being a smart lawyer, who gave an ex-con a chance, which is forgiving, I give you a plus for that, but you’ve tumbled down to just being ratchet.” On the reunion show, the ladies were questioned about who should get kicked off the series, and though they were shy about sharing their thoughts on the subject, Williams definitely was not. “Phaedra I think it should be you,” Williams stated, giving Phaedra a paltry rating of F for her antics.” Hit the flip to peep Wendy give the ladies their report card!
When the 2012 presidential debates kick off Wednesday, Gary Johnson will not be there. The often overlooked libertarian may still have an impact on the election, however. According to a new poll by Reason , President Barack Obama leads challenger Mitt Romney, but the Libertarian Party’s Johnson garners a statistically significant 6 percent. Johnson pulls votes from both major-party candidates, the survey found. A former two-term governor of New Mexico and before that a self-made construction businessman, Johnson has always been known for his low-tax views. He first sought the presidency via the Republican nomination last year, but after being excluded from those debates, launched his third-party run in 2012. While facing overwhelming odds against Democratic incumbent Obama and Republican nominee Romney, Johnson could still be a factor in next month’s election. Siphoning enough votes from one candidate could benefit the other in a number of closely-contested states, and many of his views are in line with the mainstream . Gary Johnson a Factor in 2012? About 61 percent of poll respondents said that wealth disparities are an acceptable part of the American economic system and not something the government can fix. “One of the reasons they may believe that,” explains Reason’s Emily Ekins, “is that 59 percent think that individuals have an equal opportunity to succeed in this country.” Also, 45 percent of Americans want the federal government to pass fewer laws, compared with around one-third who think it should be more active. “However,” she notes, “there is one law that voters overwhelmingly would like to see passed – and that’s a law to audit the Federal Reserve.” Somewhere, Ron Paul is smiling. And/or seething that he won’t be on that stage either.
This week at SXSW Movieline caught up with director Gareth Evans, whose Indonesian martial arts actioner The Raid: Redemption is set to knock your socks off later this month courtesy of Sony Classics. (Haven’t heard of the martial arts form silat? You will, come March 23.) With his film steadily collecting kudos left and right, Evans is already thinking ahead to his Raid sequel (working title: Berandal ), and an insane, dangerous-sounding four-on-one car fight he plans on working into the mix. First up, though, is the U.S. remake currently in the works at Screen Gems. The original film worked with the unique (and relatively new to most audiences) martial arts form silat , employed dynamically in a fairly basic setup: A SWAT team trapped inside a tenement building locked down by a vicious gangster must fight their way out. The American remake will build on the elements of The Raid , with Evans on hand as executive producer and Raid stars/fight choreographers Iko Uwais (who plays hero Rama) and Yayan Ruhian (who steals scenes as the sadistic Mad Dog) working on the remake’s fight choreography. “There will be elements of silat in there, which is kind of cool because there’s a respect for the original,” Evans said. “And I’m curious because the thing is yes, silat is an Indonesian martial art, but it’s practiced all over the world. There are schools of silat in London, there are schools of silat in America, there are schools of silat in France, and they have international championships as well. So there are a lot of people that know silat around the world, so it’s not a far-fetched idea that someone in America could know silat, the same way that it’s not far-fetched for a guy in America to know kung fu or muy thai.” While screenwriter Brad Inglesby has been recruited to script the remake, a director has yet to be found. Whoever it is, Evans isn’t worried about passing the reins to another filmmaker’s vision. “For me it’s like this: the storyline and the central concept is streamlined,” he explained. “It’s a very straightforward action film. So there’s room for improvement, and I think that director, whoever it is, has to be given the kind of creative freedom to push it in whatever direction he wants to push it and not have somebody standing over his shoulder saying, ‘You can’t do this, or you can’t do that.’ I think it should be that person’s decision.” After his Raid promotional tour is done, Evans will turn to pre-production on the sequel, with plans to begin filming next January. But how do you follow a film that’s already packed with non-stop, relentless, wall-to-wall, inventive action? “By going in a slightly different direction,” he teased. “If I try to replicate and copy it’ll fall on its ass, so I want to do something kind of different. We’re going to take the story out now and go onto the streets. So everything that was scary about that building and about that boss is small fry compared to the gangs we meet in the sequel — now we meet the people who let him have that building. And we expand the world out, we explore certain characters that were kind of hinted at in this but not expanded upon, and we ramp up some of the set pieces as well.” Evans’s Raid films will always retain their focus on silat, only showcased within different environments. Like, for example, the limited confines of a moving automobile. “We’ll have one fight scene,” Evans said, “a four-on-one fight inside of a car, and Iko’s going to be kicking people out through the windows, and it’s going to be nuts. What we’re doing now is we have to figure out how to shoot that without killing anyone. “Once we get that sorted,” he continued with a laugh, “then we’ll start shooting that.” Read more from SXSW here .

I think it should be illegal for bitches like this to wear no pants in public…I figure as a pervet I’d love nudity and love half naked bitchees but feel laws need to be enforced…and not even the pervert friendly no pants allowed ever…but the pants must stay one….because for some reason the only girls who are into being half naked in public…happen to be the nasty bitches craving attention…unless they are getting paid or are on a beach…the voluntary half nakedness is always pulled off by the wrong bitches….proven with these Gaga pics.
A Video I Made for Justin Bieber using the song “Anyway” by Martina McBride. Lyrics: You can spend your whole life buildin’ Somethin’ from nothin’ One storm can come and blow it all away Build it anyway You can chase a dream That seems so out of reach And you know it might not ever come your way Dream it anyway [chorus] God is great, but sometimes life ain’t good When I pray it doesn’t always turn out like I think it should But I do it anyway I do it anyway This worlds gone crazy and it’s hard to believe That tomorrow will be better than today Believe it anyway You can love someone with all your heart For all the right reasons An in a moment they can choose to walk away love ‘em anyway [repeat chorus] You can pour your soul out singing a song u believe in but tomorrow they will forget you ever sang Sing it anyway! Yeah I sing, I dream, I love anyway! http://www.youtube.com/v/OYB8tjYaGEk?version=3&f=videos&app=youtube_gdata Read the original post: Anyway (Justin Bieber Video) with lyrics
Don’t look at us. She said it. And because Taylor Momsen is so edgy and cool, she can talk about masturbating a lot and it makes her awesome. Deal. In an interview with The Guardian (UK), Taylor said unequivocally that “I’m a promoter of masturbation. Don’t sleep around … learn yourself first!” “Guys do, but girls don’t. And that’s why girls have so many bad experiences. But you can know your body, know yourself, know what feels good.” PLEASURE YOURSELF, KIDS : Seriously, the Gossip Girl star says it’s cool! “You don’t have to give yourself away just to have sexual relevance,” she adds. “I don’t think sex is something people should be afraid of. It’s part of human nature. I don’t think it should be shameful, particularly for girls and young girls.” The Pretty Reckless singer may look back on this and wish she’d shut her yap (that or she’ll blame her parents like usual), but doesn’t make a terrible point. Hold out, don’t put out, girls. There are alternatives that don’t talk back .
I don’t think it should come as much of a surprise that I’m finishing off the day with some sexy pictures of Candice Swanepoel hanging out in various stages of undress. Who doesn’t like half naked chicks? Here’s the supermodel in a new photoshoot for some lingerie my girlfriend will never wear for me. It’s been a long tough day of blogging so this is a nice little happy ending. Speaking of happy endings, I wonder what SookYi is doing this afternoon.
‘I’m thinking Usher,’ Snooks says of potential boyfriends on ‘Ellen.’ By Sabrina Rojas Weiss The cast of “Jersey Shore” on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” Photo: Warner Bros. Snooki’s recent trouble with love and the law were a hot topic when she and her fellow “Jersey Shore” castmates JWoww, Pauly D, the Situation, Sammi, Vinny and Ronnie stopped by “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Tuesday (September 14). The rest of the cast was very protective of their diminutive roommate, and they vowed to make sure she doesn’t get her heart broken again. “Because of her celebrity she drew a crowd,” JWoww said of what led to Snooki’s arrest for being a public nuisance. And Pauly D, who pointed out that he has other friends who do much worse on the Shore, added, “It just so happens the spotlight was on her.” Snooki, for her part, says that she and her roommates often lead quieter lives than what’s portrayed on the show. Rather than go to clubs all the time, sometimes, she said, “I’ll go to frickin Barnes and Nobles, get a coffee and just sit and read.” And with ex Emilio kicked to the curb , it sounds like she’s looking for a new partner for her calmer side. “I definitely want to move to Brooklyn and get a business Italian guy,” she declared. Pauly D offered to help her choose the right one. “I’m gonna screen them,” he said. “I think it should be not strictly a business guy, not strictly a juicehead. In between.” “I’m thinking Usher,” Snooki suggested of the R&B star who performed on Ellen’s stage just before the cast was interviewed. Dance enthusiast DeGeneres also asked about the Situation’s upcoming appearance on “Dancing With the Stars.” “It’s not the fist-pumping, MC Hammer two-step that I’m used to in the club,” he admitted. And JWoww couldn’t resist adding her prediction. “I’ve seen him dance, so I’m a little concerned.” Watch season two of “Jersey Shore” Thursday nights at 10 p.m. ET on MTV.
Not since the Classic period of 250 AD to 900 AD has a Mayan dominated the world stage as much as Mya has controlled season nine of Dancing with the Stars . It’s been the most boring couple months in show history largely due to the random set of contestants chosen by ABC; but also because the winner has been clear from the outset. Has anyone really threatened Mya’s reign atop the leaderboard?
