Anthony Weiner Takes Leave of Absence from Congress, Seeks Professional Help

Anthony Weiner should really just resign already. Under mounting pressure from fellow politicians, and with police getting involved in his recent spat of Twitter exchanges, the embattled Congressman has announced a leave of absence from his post. Can one seek professional help for being a horny moron? A statement from Weiner’s camp reads: “[Congressman Weiner] will request a short leave of absence from the House of Representatives so that he can get evaluated and map out a course of treatment to make himself well. Congressman Weiner takes the views of his colleagues very seriously and has determined that he needs this time to get healthy and make the best decision possible for himself, his family and his constituents.” The move comes after Nancy Pelosi said her colleague ought to see assistance “”without the pressures of being a member of Congress.” It also takes place shortly after police interviewed a teen in Delaware. She admitted to exchange Tweets with Weiner, but said nothing “inappropriate” took place. With his wife pregnant , there certainly do appear to be pressing personal matters for Weiner to attend to. Let’s hope someone confiscates his cell phone while he’s away. [Photo: WENN.com]

Once again, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated a large chunk of change to a very good cause. In this case, it’s $500,000 to the Community Foundation of the Ozarks to assist the residents of Joplin, Missouri, whose town was destroyed by a tornado last month. “With the devastating loss of thirty percent of the city, the Joplin community faces great challenges ahead. Having spent much of my childhood there, I know these people to be hardworking, humble and especially resilient,” said Pitt. Added Jolie: “Our hearts go out to the families in Joplin who have lost so much.” This isn’t the first time this famous pairing has stepped up in the name of disaster relief. They gave $1 million to support rebuilding efforts in Haiti last year. [Photo: WENN.com]

UN Launches New AIDS Prevention Program “Countdown To Zero”

Visit link:

The new UN AIDS prevention program  will put in place provisions to treat HIV-positive pregnant women, which it is estimated will decrease infection of newborns to under five percent.The estimated cost of the drive is $2.5 billion, and will seek to offer the service to 15 million women, double those currently being treated. What Do You Know About Sexually Transmitted Diseases? The plan has been developed by the UNAIDS team, in collaboration with the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. The initiative was devised to address the appalling statistic that currently a baby is born with HIV every minute; almost all based in sub-Saharan Africa. It is hoped that the new campaign will see all women, and in particular pregnant women, as well as their children, be given access to life-saving HIV prevention and treatment services. World Health Organization Says HIV Treatment Reaching 6.6 Million People Launching the initiative, U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon said, “We are here today to ensure that all children are born healthy and free of disease. We are here to ensure that their mothers live to see them grow.” Wait’ll You See My…The Top 5 Anthony Weiner Songs REWIND: Jill Scott’s Sexiest Lyrics Does Angela Yee Want To Be Hip-Hop’s Dr. Ruth?

MTV Cancels Kiddie Porn TV Show “Skins”

See original here:

As predicted here in January, Skins  has been canceled.  The show has come under harsh attack by media watchdogs that have accused the network of violating child pornography laws – with the youngest actor on set being just 15 years old. The Parents Television Council called “Skins” “the most dangerous show for children ever seen,” and pointed out accounts of illegal drug use, illegal activity, pervasive sexual content, and foul language in just the first episode alone. MTV Bans Controversial Commercial From Line Up [VIDEO] Not only did the PTC call on lawmakers to thoroughly investigate the production of the material, they also targeted major corporations, urging them to pull their ads from a show that supported “underage teen sex, underage teen drug use, and underage teen alcohol use.” Man Writes An Open Plea Advising Stedman To Marry Oprah As a result, companies like Taco Bell, General Motors, Wrigley, Subway and H&R Block stopped running their ads in the time slots, causing Viacom executives to take a closer inspection as well.
