Dear Bossip: He Married Her To Get His Green Card, But I Want To Marry Him & Have His Babies

Dear Bossip , I am a young mother of three. Unfortunately, my children’s father and I are not together. The guy I’m dating I’ve know for about 7 years now. We’ve been just friends for the last 5 years. Shortly after we met in 2006, he moved to Florida. We stayed in touch and he became one of my best friends. We wouldn’t talk every single day, but whenever we did talk we spoke about any and everything. He knows things about me that no one else knows. While he was in Florida he got married. At first he stated his marriage was solely to get his “papers” because he was an immigrant. As time passed he and the young lady dated and fell in love. So, now they are married for love, “supposedly.” Fast forward….they’ve now been married a couple of years and we are still in touch. He finally got around to filing for his stuff and now has his “stuff.” The relationship started to wither between the two of them, and after having enough he decided to move back to New York. Upon him moving back to New York we started talking a little more than before. I was single and while he was still legally married, he was “single” as well. It wasn’t long before we started dating. But, what was once never an issue for me is now becoming my very harsh reality. He says he is still legally married because he hasn’t yet filed for his citizenship (he only has green card status), and as soon as he completes that then he will get a divorce. He lives in his “wife’s” parent’s home in New York and she (the wife) pops in and out of New York without my knowledge of her ever being here. It is now almost two years and absolutely no change has been made. We’re still dating and I use the term “dating” very loosely, for we only go out if I ask him to accompany me to the movies or dinner or something and I foot the bill. It has been many nights he’s unreachable without any reason at all, besides maybe he fell asleep or he forgot his phone in his car. He doesn’t want to get married again and he doesn’t wants to have kids with me. So he’s still legally married, living in his “in-laws” house and no signs of anything changing, anytime soon. I want more. I want to get married because I’ve never been before. I also would like to have more kids because I never had a great experience being pregnant. Am I being naive? Am I wrong because I knew of his situation before our relationship got personal? Should I walk away or stick around and see if things are going to change once he gets his citizenship in order?? – Ms. Confused Dear Ms. Confused , Girl, I can’t! I can’t! I can’t! Are you freaking serious right now?!?! You actually took the time to sit down and write this MoFo letter, and you have the audacity to ask me some bull-ish about a man who is an immigrant who married another woman to stay in this country legally, and you’ve been seeing him for the past two years and he hasn’t taken the necessary steps to get a divorce from his wife, and he’s told you that he doesn’t want to get married again and he doesn’t want to have kids with you! Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead! Now, you’re asking me if you’re being naïve because you want to get married and have kids, and you hope he will change his mind after he gets his citizenship. You know what, you really are a donkey. A big ole jackass. You see, this is why I go so hard on some of you dumb ass broads. The hell kind of retard knowingly dates an immigrant who is illegally in this country, because I know his green card has expired, and he’s married to another woman and you know he only married her to get his green card?  Then on top of it all this he is living in his wife’s parent’s home, and he only goes out with you when you invite him and you have to foot the bill!!!! Uhm, Ms. Special-Needs-With-The-Brain-On-Vacation , do you really think you will have some type of future with this man???? Did he put some type of hex on you, or worked some voodoo spell that got you all “F’d” up in the head? Let me close my eyes as I type this because I don’t want my eyes to see any more of this and I become infected. I rebuke you in the name of Jesus!!!! And, just because of you, I am opening my school a week earlier. It’s official: The doors are open to the Academy for Dumbass Women Who Date Illegal Immigrants Hoping She’ll Become A Princess Like Kate Middleton . I have you enrolled in three classes: D**kology 101 : How To Emotionally And Mentally Wean Yourself Off The D**K Mandingo 101 : How To Spot An Illegal Immigrant And Run Like Hell When He Approaches You Dating Married Men 101 : You’re A Side Chick, A Hoe, And You’ll Never Be Wifey, So Stay In Your Lane He is not your man. He is married, whether it is legal, or for immigration purposes, the man is still married. LEAVE HIM ALONE!! FIND YOURSELF A MAN WHO IS AVAILABLE EMOTIONALLY, MENTALLY, AND PHYSICALLY. FIND YOURSELF A MAN WHO IS NOT USING WOMEN TO GET INTO THIS COUNTRY. This man is not, and I repeat, HE IS NOT going to marry you. He is not going to change his mind after he gets his citizenship, if that ever happens. He is not interested in spending any quality time with you, nor is he interested in you as a person. He is only using you, and you are allowing him to. Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! How about you invest all this time and energy into your three children who don’t have a father in their life. Your children need to see you being about something and doing something instead of running behind some man who will probably be deported in a few months. And, how about you invest in getting an education and improving your life and getting out of this hood mentality of waiting for someone to save you. You know what; I have a novel idea. How about you go out in the street and pick up a homeless dude, and start dating and sexing him. Your man is no better. You’re dating a man who is married, an illegal immigrant, and lives in his sponsor’s parent’s home. Ma’am, hello!?! Ma’am!!! He’s homeless and a bum. What can he possibly offer you? What can he bring to the table to improve or make your life better? In laymen’s terms, are you going to upgrade with him or is it a downgrade? Well, considering who you are anything will be an upgrade. But peep this, on top of it all you have to call and invite him out because he never calls you to take you out, and, Ms. Paying-For-D**k , you have to foot the bill!!!! You’ve got to be the biggest non-flying bird in your neighborhood. Whatever hair and glue treatments you are putting on your head, please stop it because the combination of your silliness, his Mandingo d**k, and the non-adhesive glue is messing with your brain. Girl, in so many words, the man has basically told you that he doesn’t want your bum basic ass. He has said to you that he is not interested in marriage, and he doesn’t want to have kids with you. He’s telling you, “I DON’T WANT YOU AND WE’LL NEVER BE TOGETHER!” Did you comprehend that? Ladies, ladies, ladies when a man ignores your calls, doesn’t bother to invite you out, and every time you do go out you are footing the bill, then you are a trick. You are paying for the d**k. And, you deserve to be treated like a low class hoe with nothing to show for it. Please, please, please give me his address so I can report him to immigration. I know he has overstayed his Visa and green card. That’s why he is hiding out at his wife’s parent’s home, and won’t divorce her. He’s no fool. He’s got you spreading your legs for him, taking him out, and probably putting money in his pocket. And, he’s got the other bird to marry him to get a green card so that he can be in this country legally. And, in reality, he ain’t thinking about neither one of you. He’s playing both of you Miss-American-Women-Who-Don’t-Mind-Sharing-An-Immigrant-Because-You’re-So-Desperate-To-Be-Loved . Why am I even bothering writing and responding to you? You’re going to do what you want to do anyway. You’re hoping and wishing he is going to make you his princess bride and sweep you off to his country, where I’m certain he’s a prince, right? And, of course his father has billions of dollars, but because he Came To America, his father cut him off from all the funds, and because he has too much pride and wants to prove to his father he can make it on his own, he is roughing it out in America where he is being his own man, huh? Sit your ass over there Ms. Future Mustafa and wait on him all you want. And, if there ever is a day when you two will get married, I want an invitation to this multi-million dollar wedding. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

Katy Perry’s People’s Choice Cancellation ‘Understandable’

‘Things like this happen all the time,’ producer Mark Burnett says. By Jocelyn Vena Katy Perry Photo: Getty Images Katy Perry will have to celebrate any People’s Choice Awards wins from afar. On Monday, Perry tweeted that she’d no longer be attending the show, which airs live Wednesday (January 11), following her divorce announcement from Russell Brand. The pop star is up for seven awards, and although it would mark her first public appearance since the New Year’s weekend bombshell , for now it seems fans will have to wait it out to see Perry make her big post-divorce statement. And for PCA executive producer Mark Burnett, that is completely fine. “It’s understandable,” he told E! News about the last-minute shakeup. “Things like this happen all the time.” Burnett went on to say that despite the cancellation, there’s plenty of other stuff in the show to keep fans tuned in, including a performance by Demi Lovato and appearances by the cast of “The Hunger Games” and “Twilight” superstar Robert Pattinson. “The show is so jam-packed you’re thinking how are we going to fit it all in,” he said. Although Perry has been lying low since the divorce announcement, she recently addressed the split on Twitter, saying, “I am so grateful for all the love and support I’ve had from people around the world. You guys have made my heart happy again. Concerning the gossip, I want to be clear that NO ONE speaks for me. Not a blog, magazine, ‘close sources’ or my family.” Perry is scheduled for two concerts later this month, one on January 19 in Jakarta, Indonesia, and another on January 22 in the Philippines, and is up for two awards at the Grammys on February 12. On Tuesday, Brand found himself in the headlines when a months-old video announcement for his November college comedy tour surfaced. In it, Brand slides off his wedding ring and pledges to learn more about college life and sororities. Related Videos MTV News Extended Play: Katy Perry Related Artists Katy Perry

Some Hump Day Swirl: Halle Berry And Her Lil French Boo Are Engaged!!!

We all saw Halle flossin a ring on her left hand last week and now here’s the big announcement: Third time’s the charm for Halle Berry! The 45-year-old actress and Olivier Martinez are engaged, a source confirms to the new Us Weekly, on stands Friday. Over the holidays, Martinez, 46, proposed with an emerald-and-diamond ring from Gurhan. Berry, who has a 3-year-old daughter, Nahla, with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, has been married twice before. (She dated model Aubry, 36, for nearly five years before splitting in April 2010.) She wed former baseball player David Justice in 1993 and divorced four years later. She then married R&B singer Eric Benet in 2001, only to separate in 2003 and finalize their divorce in 2005. She first met French actor Martinez while working on the film Dark Tide; they stepped out as a couple in fall 2010. He previously dated Australian pop star Kylie Minogue for several years before splitting in 2007. We hope “this is it” for Halle this time around. All women (even crazy ones) need love!!! Source

‘Caged’ Star Wes Reflects On Series Premiere

‘In a cage fight it’s only two people. You’ve just got to live with what happens,’ Wes tells MTV News. By Tami Katzoff Wes in the series premiere of “Caged” Photo: MTV MTV’s new docu-series “Caged” premiered Monday night, and after seeing it, the first reaction of castmember Wes had little to do with his performance in the cage. “Damn, I was fat and out of shape,” the amateur mixed martial arts fighter told MTV News via Skype. “I guess because I hadn’t trained and fought in so long [before] the first episode, and then me getting back into it I was just like, wow, I didn’t really realize how big I was, and then the camera, it adds, like, 10 pounds.” “Caged” follows Wes and two fellow cage fighters, Daniel and Danger, as they try to better their lives in their small town of Minden, Louisiana. A revealing (and somewhat revolting) subplot in the premiere involved Wes trying to cut weight before a fight. He needed to shed several pounds in a short period of time. “We don’t have a sauna to go to in Minden, and I had three or four hours to make weight. And if you don’t make weight, you don’t fight,” Wes said. He decided to use the brutal Louisiana heat to his advantage. “I was like, the inside of my car’s leather, it will be like a sauna in there. So we get our sauna suit and I get in there and I’m just like, ‘Oh my God, I’m dying.’ You do what you got to do, I guess,” Wes said. The episode’s climax, fittingly, was the big night during which Wes, Danger and Daniel all had fights. Wes recalled that the time leading up to him stepping into the cage was filled with his usual pre-fight jitters. “Can you just imagine being somewhere, and then a guy comes running up at you and he’s like, ‘I’m about to fight you right now.’ And you take that little split second that you’re so scared, and then magnify it times a hundred and then stretch it out for about two weeks long,” he said. “Because two weeks before a fight you’re like, ‘Oh, sh–, I’ve got to fight a guy in a cage. And he’s going to try to kick me in the face, and he’s going to try to hurt me.'” During the final moments before the fight, the second-guessing comes. “You’re just sitting there and you’re waiting on them to call your name. You’re just like, ‘What am I doing here? I just want the electricity to go out, or some kind of natural disaster to happen so I don’t have to fight,’ ” Wes said. “And then they start playing your walk out music and you’re just like, ‘OK, this is what I’m here for, this is why I do this. I love this.’ And you go out there and it’s such an adrenaline rush, you really can’t explain it. It just takes over your body.” After Wes won his fight, he watched Daniel struggle in the cage. “Daniel, I’ve known him for a long time,” Wes said. “He’s unsociable and he looks like Justin Bieber, but he’s a cool cat.” It was clear that Daniel was having trouble. “I’m stressed out watching him,” Wes recalled. “And then he gets hit and I’m just like, ‘Oh my God.’ ” Daniel was down, and all Wes could do was watch. “You can’t do anything because in a cage fight it’s only two people,” he said. “You’ve just got to live with what happens.” Did you catch the premiere of “Caged”?

Adrianne Palicki Is Ready For A ‘Badass’ 2012

With roles in ‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ and ‘Red Dawn,’ the ‘Friday Night Lights’ alum is One to Watch in 2012. By Kevin P. Sullivan Adrianne Palicki in “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” Photo: MGM If 2012 teaches us anything about Adrianne Palicki, it may be that she knows her way around a machine gun. The former “Friday Night Lights” star finds herself pulling the trigger in two high-profile action movies this year, “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” and “Red Dawn.” Starring alongside big names like Bruce Willis, Dwayne Johnson, Chris Hemsworth and fellow Ones to Watch in 2012 honoree Josh Hutcherson in a single year definitely has our attention, but Palicki kicks ass in her own right. We spoke with Palicki about her big 2012 and the difficulties of finding a date — knowing what she does about hand-to-hand combat. MTV : First off, I have to congratulate you on being included in MTV’s Ones to Watch 2012. Adrianne Palicki : Thank you very much. It’s very cool. I’m very flattered. MTV : You have such a huge year coming up. Palicki : Yeah, they keep telling me that. [ Laughs. ] It’s surreal. Part of it is, “Red Dawn” I shot three years ago, so that feels so foreign to know that’s actually going to come out this year. “G.I. Joe,” we literally got off the plane from New Orleans and the trailer was out. I’ve never experienced anything like that. I feel like I’m still working right now. When we were shooting, it was less than a year until it came out. We knew that. It was just shocking. MTV : The fan response to the “G.I. Joe” trailer seemed overwhelmingly positive. Palicki : It was a pleasant surprise, because this is a reboot. It’s scary going into the shoes that have already been worn. We wanted to do something really unique and special. With such an amazing group of talented actors, you don’t want it to fall flat. How many people reached out, it’s unbelievable to hear the comments that they’re so excited, that the trailer is better than the first movie was. Just really cool reactions that you’re going, “OK, hopefully we don’t let you down.” I really don’t think we will. I think it’s going to be a really fun ride for everybody. MTV : It had to be a fun movie to shoot, right? Palicki : Oh my God, it was a blast. Jon Chu, he’s this genius. The thing that’s so special about him is that he might be the biggest G.I. Joe fan on the planet, so that really came in our favor. He’s young and interesting and full of ambition. We really did things that were super exciting and super scary, and I really feel everything’s going to come out really, really well. MTV : What was the scariest thing you had to do on set? Palicki : We did have to scale a wall, but after seeing “Mission: Impossible 4,” I’m like, “Well, I guess it wasn’t that scary.” An 18-foot wall compared to a skyscraper. The fun thing is that we get to do a lot of our own stunts. MTV : Were you a fan of “G.I. Joe” when you were growing up? Palicki : Oh yeah, definitely. I have a big brother, so anything he liked, I liked. He was super big into comic books, so I was super big into comic books. He was super big into G.I. Joe, and I wanted to be Jinx so badly. I don’t know just if it was that she was wearing a red costume or what, but I wanted to be a ninja. MTV : Were you disappointed to be Lady Jaye then? Palicki : Lady Jaye’s a badass. I couldn’t really be disappointed with Lady Jaye. She’s the one chick in the boys club. She can hold her own. She doesn’t get the staff, but she is a weapons specialist. She has that going for her. MTV : What was it like working with two huge action stars, Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis? Palicki : Dwayne is like a teddy bear. I know his fans probably don’t want to hear that. He might be one of the nicest people on the planet, genuinely. Very caring and very giving. Bruce is a kick in the pants. We get along really well, but he definitely came in during the middle of shooting for a week, added some flavor and left. But he was really fun to work with. I really enjoyed him. MTV : How comfortable are you with a machine gun now? Palicki : Between “Red Dawn,” “Wonder Woman” and now “G.I. Joe,” I feel like I could actually go and really harm some people with my hands. I feel like a Navy SEAL. It’s been fun. I mean, I get paid to do this sh–. I get paid to shoot an AK-47 or a .50 cal or punch some dudes in the face or groin or whatever. It’s a really fun job. MTV : What’s it like having “Red Dawn” come out after all this time? Palicki : It’s weird, because I’m so very removed from it. It was such a great experience, and I enjoyed it so much. Honestly, there’s been some disappointment for me because it’s going to be released and then it’s not. It’s going to be released and then it’s not. I’m relieved. I’m really excited it’s coming out, and I’m excited to see it myself. I haven’t seen it in a year, and I’m sure it’s changed quite a bit. MTV : Back then Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson weren’t exactly the huge stars they are today. Palicki : Oh, Josh Hutcherson. I love him so much. It’s crazy. We were babies. It’s going to be so funny to see myself in “G.I. Joe” before playing an 18-year-old in “Red Dawn.” It’s just insane. We’re all just babies. Chris was training to go shoot “Thor” when we were shooting that movie. It’s crazy. It was so long ago. MTV : How does it feel having these two action movies coming out in same year? Palicki : It’s very strange, and it’s like, “OK, I guess I’ll be an action star. Why not?” I will never have a date again, but it’s cool, whatever. Men are going to be afraid of me. It’s really special, and I’m excited. It’s going to be a very busy year for me. MTV : One of your fellow Ones to Watch is … Palicki : Taylor Kitsch . I know that guy! He’s awesome. I miss him. He’s the nicest guy. He’s Canadian, I mean, need I say more? He also has the most ridiculous, disgusting sense of humor than anyone I’ve met. He’s so raunchy, and when it comes out of his mouth, because he’s Canadian and because he’s so nice, it comes out of nowhere. It just makes it that much funnier. MTV : Who’s going to have the bigger year? Palicki : Oh God, I can’t. I think Taylor’s going to have the bigger year. I’m not going to lie. He has a lot coming out this year and all different kinds of movies. I’m really proud of him. He deserves it. He’s worked really hard. I’m excited to see where he goes with his career. The thing is, he’s not just a pretty face. I mean, he has a very pretty face, by the way, but that’s not all he has. What are you waiting for? Your must-see movie needs your support. It’s time to show character, poise and heart. Vote for your picks now at MTV Movie Brawl 2012 ! Check out everything we’ve got on “G.I. Joe: Retaliation.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com . Related Videos Get Ready For MTV Movie Brawl 2012! 2012 Ones To Watch

Dance Moms ‘Not Very Grateful,’ Abby Lee Miller Says

‘You would think that the mothers would see things a little clearer now,’ outspoken instructor tells MTV News about Tuesday’s season-two premiere. By Jim Cantiello Abby Lee Miller of “Dance Moms” Photo: MTV News Abby Lee Miller is just as eager to see the second-season premiere of “Dance Moms” as the rest of us. Although she’s the star of Lifetime’s runaway reality hit about a tough-love dance instructor and the meddling moms that get in her way, she doesn’t see the show ahead of time. “I see [the episodes] when you see them,” Miller told MTV News. “People are asking me questions about future episodes, and I’m just like, ‘I don’t remember what happened. Sorry!’ ” But once the titular dance moms are brought up in conversation, Miller has no problem recalling her ongoing drama with the cast. (Buckle up, readers. She’s got a lot to say about everyone!) “They’re just not very grateful,” Miller whispered. “You would think that the mothers would see things a little clearer now, now that they’re on a television show and now that they do have fans, that they [wouldn’t] be a little more respectful of me. I just think that they don’t want to recognize the fact [that] if it wasn’t for Abby Lee Miller and the Abby Lee Dance Company and having their children enrolled in my studio that they would be on a show,” Miller said. A lot of the drama in season two — premiering Tuesday night (January 10) at 9 p.m. — stems from the inflated egos of the newly famous cast. “[Dance mom Kristi] went behind everyone’s back and hired a publicist,” Miller sighed. “Kristi has this bizarre twisted imagination that they would have just picked [daughter] Chloe up in any dance studio in the Pittsburgh area. How would that have happened? That’s not the way that it came to be.” Still, even with the spotlight brighter than ever, the lady in charge insists that nobody “turns it on” for the camera. “I think why the show always works is there’s that underlying original story or characters, if you will, that had these original problems before Lifetime, before [production company] Collins Avenue, before [producer/creator] John Corella and I ever put this together and he ran with it and made this all happen,” Miller said. “Those things like grown adult mothers being jealous of [child dancer] Maddie — that’s still there.” One of Abby Lee Miller’s biggest pet peeves is the “favoritism” accusation thrown her way in regards to Maddie, the award-winning dancer often perched on top of Miller’s achievement pyramid over classmates Chloe and Paige. “Bull!” Miller screamed. “[Maddie]’s paying for one-on-one lessons. At registration in August, guess who wasn’t there [to sign up for one-on-one lessons]? I don’t know if I’m allowed to say,” Miller trailed off, hinting at future season-two plot-points. “These moms, this is their first child that they’ve had involved in this. This is my 3,000th child I’ve had involved in this. So I’ve done this all before. I can take you back 30 years and give you two names just like Maddie and Chloe. Another five years? Another two kids. Another five years? Another two kids. There’s always two kids in that studio that are vying for the top spot. There’s all those other kids who are in the group [too]. Some of those [other] kids are on Broadway right now. It’s not always the one who was really good and winning everything when they were little that ends up with a career. Bodies change, interests change, passion changes. You never know. I mean, look at Paige; she’s stunning. She’s a beautiful child. When she’s 18, it’s all going to come together. She’s gonna fill out, she’s still gonna be beautiful. The dancing’s gonna click. You don’t need to do the steps that Maddie’s doing to be in a Broadway show or to be a Rockette.” Another hot topic is Holly’s inability to see her daughter Nia perform at a dance competition due to a work commitment. It’s a fight that kicks off season two and it still remains a contentious issue, long after the second season wrapped taping. “[Holly]’s a principal of a school. She’s a hotshot. Leave early! Come on! She just got in trouble two days ago for me. Didn’t show up again at a competition, and it was a Saturday. Now what? And her husband’s a really good-looking, nice guy with a big job. Hire an assistant! Do whatever you have to do!” But nobody gets Abby Lee Miller’s blood boiling quite like Cathy Nesbitt-Stein, rival dance coach at Candy Apple’s Dance Center in Ohio. Miller accused Cathy of stealing a bumblebee costume Miller leant to her daughter. “I think they’re stealing a lot of things,” Miller joked, referencing a tricked-out video-screen pyramid PowerPoint that fans will see Cathy use at Candy Apple’s in the season-two premiere. “I went to the [Apple store] in Pittsburgh and I said, ‘I want this and I wanna throw [the girls’ pictures onscreen] like “CSI.” ‘ And then I told my producers at Collins Avenue, ‘I need this! This is the way it has to be.’ And then they stole that idea and gave it to [Cathy]. You can’t trust anybody in this business,” Miller said. Watch Abby Lee Miller be “always right” and never get the respect she deserves when the drama-filled second season of “Dance Moms” premieres Tuesday night at 9 on Lifetime.

New Hampshire Voters Say College Costs, Unemployment Top Issues

‘It’s hard for graduates, not being able to pay their loans and find a job,’ one young voter tells MTV News. By Gil Kaufman, with reporting by Sway Calloway A young voter casts his ballot in the New Hampshire primary Photo: T.J. Kirkpatrick/ Getty Images MANCHESTER, New Hampshire — There were no excuses to skip Tuesday’s (January 10) primary in the Granite State. The weather was balmy for this time of year, there was no snow on the ground and the body-slamming back-and-forth between the Republican contenders was worthy of a backyard wrestling ring. But what brought out an expected record 250,000 voters for Tuesday’s contest? MTV’s Power of 12 hit the polls early and late in the day to ask young voters what was on their minds when they stepped up to be counted. Lifeguard and Special Olympics basketball coach (go, Manchester Mustangs!) Keating Tufts, 21, emerged from casting his vote just before dinnertime with college tuition on his mind. “We’re paying more for school every single year, the tuition keeps on going up … I feel like [I should] do my part and vote,” said the Southern New Hampshire University student who was not willing to fall in line and cast his lot with GOP front-runner Mitt Romney, instead opting for unconventional congressman Ron Paul. “He’s got a different view than normal candidates, so I feel like it would be interesting to see what he can do.” As high school English teacher Kelly Ilacqua, 25, emerged from the Carol M. Rines Health Center in Manchester’s Ward 3, she said she went with former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum because of her pro-life beliefs. “He is the author of the legislation that outlawed partial-birth abortion … and he’s also been a big proponent of two legislations that have stopped doctors in abortion clinics from ending the lives of abortion-surviving infants.” Earlier in the day, first-time voter Amelia Dickinson, 18, had several different motivations for voting. “Right now I’d have to say the economy and foreign policy … with [North Korea’s] Kim Jong-Il passing and everyone on edge about what’s going to happen next,” she said. “Obviously with the economy with how there’s so much unemployment, people are worried about inflation with the dollar. I think the next president really needs to have an understanding and know what to do with those two problems and really be willing to compromise with the two parties.” For another first-time voter, 18-year-old high school student Emily Flanders, it was not the economy but social issues including gay rights and abortion, while Andrew Judd, 19, said he was thinking a lot about foreign policy as well as who the eventual candidates are beholden to in getting to the big game. “Intellect in general, how smart the candidates are,” he said. “You want a smart president. Also, how people were financially backed. I don’t want somebody going to Washington with a lot of promises they have to fill.” Danielle Courtemanche, 23, was focused squarely on the same things so many millions of Americans are: unemployment. After meeting former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman several times at her job at the local Hilton Garden Inn hotel, Courtemanche said she felt that he understood her struggles and those of her peers and had the best plan to help them out. “As a graduate of 2011, I feel that it is very important for people my age to go out and vote. I feel like it’s a big problem,” she said of the difficulty new graduates are having finding jobs. “It’s hard for graduates with loans … not being able to pay their loans and to find a job.” Like many of the other voters MTV News has talked to in Iowa and New Hampshire, high school senior David Chester, 19, said the #1 issue is the economy. “[Definitely] the economy, which affects everyone,” he said. “I think one of the huge things that we need to acknowledge is that the financial crisis was due in large part to the financial sector, not the public sector, and a little regulation in Wall Street would not hurt to have a little responsibility there.” What issues are important to you as you get ready to hit the polls for your primary?

Russell Brand Slides Off Wedding Ring In Pre-Divorce Video

Comedian jokingly removed band in November announcement for his college tour. By Jocelyn Vena Russell Brand Photo: Colin MacFarlane / Splash News A little over a month before he announced he would be taking off his wedding ring for good, Russell Brand jokingly took off his band when he announced his college tour. The video announcement, which he (and Katy Perry ) posted in mid-November , seems to be getting some attention thanks to Brand’s pre-split jovial nature about removing his ring and learning about what happens in sorority houses. He opens the clip saying, “Hello Americans, this is a time of terrific change and the perfect time for me to go on a tour.” He then rambles on about American college life, adding, “I don’t know nothing about your college culture. This, for me, is going to be an educational experience. “Now in each of these cases I want to meet people from sororities and fraternities,” he continued. “I don’t know what a sorority is except for the things I’ve seen on Nudevista; that they are sort of sex clubs for women. Fraternities, that’s a bit like the film ‘Animal House’ or ‘Social Network.’ These are the only references I have.” Noting that he hoped to create worlds of “decadence” on the road, he further teased, “We are going to change college life forever. First of all, I’m going to understand it, then we’re going to change it, and then we’re gonna try and understand the new version.” As the video ends, Brand slides off his ring, with this message, “This is going to be a week of revolution, a week of occupation, and, more important, I’m going to learn firsthand about sororities. I’m going to place this somewhere very, very safe for the next week,” he said about his ring. At the time, his former wife tweeted her support for the shows. In fact, she was the person who tweeted out the video originally. “My [foul] mouthed Hubby @rustyrockets is playing a few mid-west/east-coast shows starting tonight onwards!” she wrote. “SUPPORT!” The video’s resurgence comes just one day after Perry announced she’d no longer attend Wednesday’s People’s Choice Awards.

Shakira Sweet Latina Cleavage

I can’t remember the last time I had Shakira on the site, I think she was wearing some awesome golden underwear at the time, but she was invited to some sort of soccer awards show and she brought along her sweet latina cleavage so I thought I should bring her back. I always thought she was a little chesticularly challenged, she’s downright busty in these shots. She must have invested in one of those magical push up bras. Money well spent.
