Natalie Portman Boring Stripping in Video of the Day

The only thing I really like about Natalie Portman is that her name is actually Natalie Herschlag. I never found her all that hot. If anything I thought she was overrated and boring. I mean what celeb quits for four years to get a college education like some kind of normal person when they should be flashing cunt to the paparazzi….. I just assumed all the boring nerdy Star Wars kids made up her fanbase and got her work. Then I realized Jewish guys were also in on it, cuz they were happy to see a hot Jewish girl they could imagine themselves getting married to without causing issues about converting with their mothers. But it turns out that non-Jews and non-nerds want to fuck her too….it’s got something to do with her having a vagina…. And here is a video of her stripping of New York Times Magazine…since I love strippers….it kinda works for me..and when I say kinda, I mean not at all….if there’s no spread pussy then it’s not fucking stripping…but who cares what I think…. Enjoy.

Palin tells ABC she can beat Obama in 2012

If she decides to run for president in 2012, Sarah Palin thinks she can beat President Obama. That's according to an interview the ex-Alaska governor conducted with ABC's Barbara Walters. Echoing her comments to the New York Times Magazine, Palin tells Walters that she's seriously considering a 2012 run. “I'm looking at the lay of the land now, and … trying to figure that out, if it's a good thing for the country, for the discourse, for my family, if it's a good thing,” Palin says. Asked if she can beat Obama, Palin tells Walters, “I believe so.” You can watch an excerpt of the interview after the jump, courtesy of ABC: http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_theticket/20101117/el_yblog_theticket/palin-tells-… =Apoq8sfJjkmxpK3gi5f2Vcqs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTFpZnIxcG9wBHBvcwMzOARzZWMDYWNjb3JkaW9uX21vc3RfcG9wdWxhcgRzbGsDcGFsaW50ZWxsc2Fi ______________________________________________________________________ and this my children is how the Mayan Prophecy is fulfilled.

Eminem Says He Supports Gay Marriage

‘I think that everyone should have the chance to be equally miserable,’ rapper told The New York Times Magazine. By James Montgomery Eminem Photo: Chris Weeks/ Getty Images In a new interview with The New York Times Magazine , Eminem declares that his “overall look on things is a lot more mature than it used to be,” a statement that apparently extends to his views on gay marriage. At one point during the piece — which will appear in the Sunday, June 20, issue of the mag — Em is asked by the Times’ Deborah Solomon if he’d support a gay marriage bill in his home state of Michigan. Somewhat surprisingly, he said yes … in his own, uniquely acerbic way, of course. “I think if two people love each other, then what the hell?” Em answered. “I think that everyone should have the chance to be equally miserable, if they want.” Throughout his career, Eminem has drawn the ire of gay rights groups, who called lyrics on his Marshall Mathers LP “homophobic and hateful” and protested his performance — and nominations — at the Grammy Awards in 2001 . And late last year, he made headlines when a leaked song called “Elevator” (supposedly set for his since-scrapped Relapse: Refill album) had him calling Clay Aiken and Adam Lambert something that sounded very much like the gay-slur “f—-ts.” Elsewhere in the Times interview, Eminem says that his newfound maturity had a lot to do with getting sober and, for the first time in his career, putting his maniacal Slim Shady persona on the shelf for his upcoming Recovery album. “Shady still exists. But I don’t think the subjects on this record call for, you know, bringing the chainsaws and axes out and murder[ing] everyone,” he says. “There was so much stuff like that off the last record that I felt like I was starting to run it into the ground. I think consciously I went in a different direction with this record.” Related Photos The Evolution Of: Eminem Related Artists Eminem

Soccer Academies’ Ugly Side

The new cover story in The New York Times Magazine, “How a Soccer Star is Made,” is a long and detailed article about the intense training that has grown up around youth soccer academies in Europe and what American soccer organizations can learn from their way of doing what has become very big business. [Dutch soccer team] Ajax puts young players into a competitive caldron, a culture of constant improvement in which they either survive and advance or are discarded. It is not what most would regard as a child-friendly environment, but it is one that sorts out the real prodigies — those capable of playing at an elite international level — from the merely gifted. From a very early age — sometimes even before a boy has even started school — these players’ careers are contracted, licensed and traded — or in the typical parlance of the sport, bought and sold. As the New York Times reports: No one pretends that its business is other than what it is. “We sold Wesley Sneijder for a ridiculous amount of money,” [trainer Olav] Versloot said. “We can go on for years based on what he was sold for.” … [British team] Fulham, like Ajax, is often a seller of talent. It recently sold a 20-year-old to Manchester United for seven million pounds, or more than $10 million. “It’s a little ugly talking about the financial terms,” [Coach Huw] Jennings said. “I don’t like to do it. It feels not too far off from the slave trade.” With an estimated 10,000 boys being trained by clubs in England alone, the demand for young players — in quantity, at least — may be greater than the number of interested UK youth. Jennings said that his scouts, in response to the “unsuitability of the indigenous population of Britain” — children who are too sedentary and spend their time with video games — were increasingly focused “on the inner city of London, among Africans, Eastern Europeans and Caribbeans.” Even Drogba’s injury, which may keep him out of the World Cup, won’t stop poor boys who grew up playing soccer in dirt fields from wanting to be like him. For an upcoming episode of Vanguard, “Soccer’s Lost Boys,” I travelled to Africa and Europe to examine the dark side of this growing network of recruitment, and to track down the ambitious young African players whose dreams make them an easy target for shady scouts. Unlike European academies where players pay very little to train, these kids’ families are bilked of their meager savings with promises that their boys could be the next Drogba. What happens after that—boys abandoned along the way, often without any money, papers, or ability to return home to their families—is the tragic, ugly underbelly of the beautiful game.

M.I.A. Escalates Feud With Reporter, Releases ‘I’m A Singer’ Dis Track

Singer posts audio excerpts of New York Times interview and a retaliatory new song on her label’s website. By Gil Kaufman M.I.A. Photo: Michael Buckner/ Getty Images M.I.A. has made it crystal clear that she didn’t take kindly to her portrayal in last week’s New York Times Magazine profile. First, she Twitter-tacked by posting the phone number of the piece’s author, journalist Lynn Hirschberg, and over the Memorial Day weekend, she escalated the battle by posting excerpts of the interview on her label’s website and dropping a biting dis track, “I’m a Singer.” Over a slow-rolling, elastic beat, M.I.A. appears to take direct aim at Hirschberg, rapping, “And the story’s always f—ed by the time it hits/ Why the hell would journalists be thick as s—/ Cuz lies equals power equals politics.” The sing-songy chorus of the spare, electro tune claims, “I’m a singer/ Never said anything else/ I didn’t lie to you/ Thinkin’ of somebody else,” adding, “You can talk sh– to me I’m used to it/ You can make me hard with the wounds that I have to lick/ You can pick on me and I can see it at a click.” After promising to publish an “unedited” version of the interview this weekend, so far M.I.A. has only posted two provocative clips under the headline “War Crimes and French Fries.” In one, a woman who appears to be Hirschberg (identified as “NYT interviewer”) can be heard excitedly greeting the artist and then elaborately ordering french fries, while the other clip (labeled “Interviewee”) contains a quote that’s an apparent reaction to a question about M.I.A.’s attempts to shed light on the dire political situation in Sri Lanka. “It wasn’t about me, and me getting to the Oscars,” she is heard saying in the clip. “Or me going to the Grammys. That doesn’t mean anything. The whole point of that journey was so you can go, ‘Hey, 50,000 people are going to die next month, here’s your opportunity to help, and no one did. And they still died! It wasn’t about accolades or fame.” Though the diss track is labeled “New Song!!!” and alludes to the U.S. Army allegedly spying on M.I.A. because of her political beliefs and other injustices against the singer based on her public comments, other than the dig about thick legs, it does not make any other identifiable references to the Hirschberg flap. It was not clear at press time if the tune was recently recorded in direct response to the Times piece, or if it was originally intended for M.I.A.’s upcoming album ///Y/. The whole thing got started after M.I.A. took issue with some of the reporting veteran journalist Hirschberg did in the story. In it, Hirschberg debunked the rapper’s claims that she hasn’t seen her father in years, contacted the Sri Lanka Democracy Forum to balance out her version of the country’s war against the Tamil Tiger military group, pointed out that the singer lives in “very white, very wealthy Brentwood [California]” with her fianc

Alexander Skarsgard: A (Hot!) Milennium Man

Alexander Skarsgard is featured in the latest issue of LA Times Magazine . The publication has dubbed this True Blood cast member as its “Milennium Man” and we’ll go right ahead and speak for our female readers by saying to it: Thank you. Below, we’ve posted a few excerpts from the actor’s interview with the magazine, as well as a few photos of him. Enjoy! On playing a vampire : What makes vampires a platform for good drama is they’re also lethal. Eric is an animal. He’s on that edge where you don’t know if he will turn and kill you in a second. On being an outsider : I’m not a “Hollywood” actor. I am a social guy, but I’m not one of those actors who will show up to a shoot with 15 agents and managers and publicists. An entourage like that just makes me uncomfortable. On handling fame : In order for me to stay sane, I try to mostly stay away from the fan sites, the blogs and the Twitterers.
