But after seeing these pictures of Julianne Hough at the park in short shorts, I think I’m finally starting to get it. I’m sure Julianne made a lot of dads very happy that day. » view all 22 photos Related Articles: Julianne Hough Shows Off The Hotness Julianne Hough’s Sweet Lingerie Top Julianne Hough’s Tasty Bikini Body Jessica Simpson’s Tasty White Meat Photos: WENN.com
Gary Cole, a federal prison inmate in Northern Texas, has filed a lawsuit against Taco Bell because he says he invented the concept of the ridiculously popular Doritos Locos Taco. And Taco Bell and Frito-Lay stole it from him. According to a 35-page handwritten complaint, Cole insists he came up with nine product ideas in 2006. The second on the list was titled “Taco Shells of All Flavors (Made of Doritos)” and the document says he submitted it to Janice B Cole and Keoiana K. Cole four years later. It’s unclear who these people are. However, according to Cole, the letter was “stolen through the United States Postal Service Mail and submitted to Frito Lays [sic], Taco Bell, Pepsi Co, Yum Brands.” The companies supposedly gave this unknown individual “a check … for a large amount” for the rights to the idea – and proceeded to manufacture the Doritos Locos Taco, which so far has sold over half a billion units for the fast food chain. Cole is asking the court to force Taco Bell to stop peddling the product and to turn over documents that will prove his allegation. Writes the store in response: “We have not been served with the lawsuit, but the claims we’ve read in online news sources are completely false and without merit.” And the company is moving full saturated fat/steam ahead with its next breakthrough as well: Yes, the Waffle Taco is on its way.
If you follow Chrissy Teigen on Twitter or Instagram, you know that the 27-year-old model can be hilarious, unfiltered, sassy, and even controversial. She’s gotten into feuds with Team Breezy and fans of Farrah Abraham, the Teen Mom turned porn star who she recently called a whore on Twitter. But she’s quick to heap praise on people she feels are deserving of it as well. High atop that list? Her fellow Sports Illustrated stunner Kate Upton! Asked about the June 2013 Kate Upton Vogue cover in a recent interview, Teigen gushed, “I am friends with her. She looks absolutely amazing.” “I texted her immediately as soon as I saw it and I said, ‘Kate, I have never… not only Vogue … but I’ve never seen a cover of anything this beautiful in my entire life.” “I just got chills thinking about it. Kate is fantastic. She is is bringing the model back , but more than anything I think she’s bringing confidence back within people.” “I know that I shot the other day and the fact that I didn’t feel like I had to be anorexically skinny, that made me truly feel good. And Kate has done that for people.” High praise! Sounds like someone believes the 20-year-old Kate Upton is in fact the hottest supermodel on Earth , as Vogue recently proclaimed her. Do you agree? Um, yes. Have you seen her?! Maybe not #1, but up there. No! This girl is so overrated. View Poll »

I was one of many who heard about Max Brooks#39; satirical guide book The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead. Being a huge fan of George A. Romero#39;s Dead series of films and just the zombie subgenre in general, I was intrigued by the release of this guidebook. From the first page to the last I was impressed, entertained, and hooked on Brooks#39; serio-comic take on how to survive a zombie outbreak. One section of the book which really caught my interest and has re
It’s sad young girls are forced to give birth. Could you imagine spitting out babies like a machine? Police Liberate Nigerian Baby Factory According to Raw Story Nigerian police on Wednesday said they had found six pregnant teenage girls in a raid on a house and arrested three people suspected of planning to sell their babies. It was the second so-called baby-factory uncovered in a week in the west African nation. “We acted on intelligence information and raided the house in Enugu (city) where we met six girls, under 17 and all pregnant, and freed them,” police spokesman Ebere Amaraizu in southeastern Enugu state told AFP. He said two men and a woman believed to be operating a child trafficking ring were arrested during the raid on Monday and were cooperating with police. Amaraizu said the girls had been “lured into the house with a promise of some money after” delivering a child. “Investigation will unravel the details. We have to know how they came about the pregnancy and where they came from,” he said. Monday’s raid came five days after police in nearby Imo State freed 17 pregnant girls and 11 small children from a home in the town of Umuaka. The girls, aged between 14 and 17, told police that they had been impregnated by a 23-year-old man who is currently in custody. The owner of the building is on the run. Nigerian police have uncovered a series of alleged baby factories in recent years, notably in the southeastern part of the country, but the intended buyers of the children have not been established. Human trafficking, including the selling of children, is the third most common crime in Nigeria behind fraud and drug trafficking, the United Nations cultural organization (UNESCO) has said. In May of 2011 in southeastern Abia state, police freed 32 pregnant girls who said they had been offered to sell their babies for between 25,000 and 30,000 naira ($191), depending on the sex of the baby. Another 17 pregnant girls were discovered in southern Anambra state in October 2011 under similar circumstances. Unfortunately, this type of thing happens in almost every country, even America. SMH.
Jodi Arias tried the ” I don’t remember” defense and now it looks like it will lead her to the grave. Jury Finds Jodi Arias Eligible For Death Penalty According to The NY Daily News Jurors in Jodi Arias’ trial on Wednesday found the former waitress should be eligible for the death penalty after they convicted her last week of murdering her one-time boyfriend. The decision came after a day of testimony in the “aggravation” phase of the trial, during which prosecutor Juan Martinez hoped to prove the June 2008 killing was committed in an especially cruel and heinous manner. Family members of victim Travis Alexander sobbed in the front row as Martinez took the jury through the killing one more time. He described how blood gushed from Alexander’s chest, hands and throat as the motivational speaker and businessman stood at the sink in his master bathroom and looked into the mirror with Arias behind him. “The last thing he saw before he lapsed into unconsciousness … was that blade coming to his throat,” Martinez said. “And the last thing he felt before he left this earth was pain.” The trial now moves into the final phase, in which prosecutors will call Alexander’s family and other witnesses in an effort to convince the panel Arias should face the ultimate punishment. Arias’ attorneys also will call witnesses, likely members of her family, in an attempt to gain sympathy from jurors so they give her life in prison. The aggravation phase played out in quick fashion, with only one prosecution witness and none for the defense. The most dramatic moments occurred when Martinez displayed photos of the bloody crime scene for the jury and paused in silence for two minutes to describe how long he said it took for Alexander to die at Arias’ hands on June 4, 2008. The defense didn’t have much of a case given how many times Alexander was stabbed, the defensive wounds on his hands, the length of the attack, and the sheer amount of blood found at the scene. Defense lawyers said Alexander would have had so much adrenaline rushing through his body that he might not have felt much pain. The only witness was the medical examiner who performed the autopsy and explained to jurors how Alexander did not die calmly and fought for his life as evidenced by the numerous defensive wounds on his body. It’s up to the jury to recommend a sentence. The medical examiner who performed the autopsy testified Wednesday that Alexander did not die calmly and fought for his life as evidenced by the numerous defensive wounds on his body. Prosecutors said Arias planned the killing in a jealous rage, as Alexander wanted to end their affair and planned to take a trip to Mexico with another woman. Testimony in Arias’ trial began in early January. The jury reached its verdict after about 15 hours of deliberations over four days. All 12 jurors — eight men and four women — unanimously agreed the killing was premeditated. If she gets life she will have to live with her crime everyday until her death. If she gets the death penalty it will be an easy way out. What do you think?
