Shots Fired: Amber Rose Believes Crunchy Karrueche Is To Blame For Breezy Being Miserable

Posted on December 24, 2014 by Benny Hollywood

That doesn’t sound like something sweet lil ol Amber would say ! Okay so Karrueche is disgusted Amber twerked her cakes all over Breezy and now Amber is supposedly blaming Karrueche for making Breezy miserable? Sounds like tit for tat to us… According to Hollywood Life reports : Amber Rose could find herself in a hairy situation after attacking Chris Brown’s ex, Karrueche Tran. As HollywoodLife.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned, Amber thinks that Breezy’s former flame is the reason why the rapper is miserable! Amber Rose, 31, seems to be meddling in Chris Brown, 25, and Karrueche Tran‘s on-again/off-again relationship. Despite the fact that Amber and Karrueche were once friends, Wiz Khalifa‘s ex-wife is claiming that Karrueche is responsible for Chris’ current misery. Amber feels that Karrueche could have done more to help Chris and that’s why he’s miserable, a source EXCLUSIVELY tells HollywoodLife.com. Amber is, “not trying to come between Chris and Karrueche. That’s not her business,” but she still wants to make it clear to Chris that he should “snap out of the misery that Karrueche has put him through.” Ouch! Plus, Amber is skeptical of the fellow model. “Amber thinks Karrueche is conniving. She feels Karrueche puts added pressures on Chris and demands too much of his time,” reveals the insider. As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, Breezy and Amber got quite cozy at an L.A. nightclub on Dec. 19. The model and the singer were seen grinding on each other, while Karrueche was disgusted after seeing a video, which showed Amber twerking on Chris. Perhaps this is Amber’s way of cheering Chris up? After all, Amber “thinks Karrueche could do more to help Chris in his time of need,” adds our source. “She wants to lend her ear to him. She knows deep down he’s going through stuff and is in pain and seeing as how she cares abut him, she doesn’t want to see him hurt,” explains the insider. “Their vibe and connection is great and Amber does want to develop that friendship further. But as far as being with him, only time will tell,” an EXCLUSIVE source tells us. We don’t know about this one. Don’t you think the source sounds a little shady? This could be someone who doesn’t even know Amber or Chris talking. Besides, hasn’t Breezy moved on to Kendall Jenner anyway ? AKM-GSI/Vine Continue reading →

Elsewhere In The World: Italian Circus Investigated For Disguising Dogs As Pandas

Posted on December 24, 2014 by Benny Hollywood

That ain’t no damn panda ! Circus Dresses Up Dogs As Pandas An Italian circus owner may face animal cruelty charges after authorities say he duped attendees into thinking they were taking pictures with giant pandas that were actually Chow Chow dogs. The Guardian reports: Not so much an open-and-shut case; more of a black-and-white one. The owner of an Italian travelling circus has been charged with the use of false documents after it was discovered that two pandas in his show were, in fact, chow chow puppies that had been dyed. A spokeswoman for the forestry corps, which in Italy deals with many of the offences involving animals, said audience members were encouraged to pay to have their photograph taken with the fake pandas. “It happened regularly before the start of the show,” she said. The dogs were found to be in good health, but their eyes were watering probably because of the “continuous flash to which they were exposed,” the spokeswoman said. It was decided to leave the dogs with their owners, but on condition that they were no longer used for impersonation. The forestry corps said the dogs had been imported from Hungary and had false pet passports that showed them to be six months old, when in fact they were reckoned to be younger. Investigations were continuing to decide whether further charges should be brought of fraud and animal cruelty. SMH @ them having fake passports for the dogs! WTF?! LOL Continue reading →

Rumble In The Lumberyard: FSC Wins This Round

Posted on December 7, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Rumble In The Lumberyard: FSC Wins This Round

For the last four years, the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) has been fighting off the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) and other certification programs in their attempts to have their programs recognized by the US Green Building Council (USGBC) and get that single LEED point for sustainably harvested lumber. The proposed changes that would have opened up the certification were put to a vote and the results are in: The status quo remains.

Photo by sheilaellen Despite their reputation as pests, termites are actually fascinating creatures particularly for their complex social structures. But that isn’t the only thing that hast attracted the attention of scientists lately. It seems that by watching where termites decide to build mounds, secrets to the ecological changes of Africa’s savanna are revealed. Researchers at the Carnegie Instution’s Department of Global Ecology mapped over 40,000 termite mounds across 192 square miles of savanna, and through their imaging and analysis of the mounds, they’ve found … Read the full story on TreeHugger

China’s Fight Against Disposable Chopsticks | 100 Acres of Trees Are Felled Every 24 Hours

Posted on August 15, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

China's fight against disposable chopsticks To keep up with demand, 100 acres of trees need to be felled every 24 hours. But efforts to restrain the use of disposable wooden chopsticks face many obstacles. By Daniel K. Gardner August 15, 2010 China's Ministry of Commerce, together with five other ministries, issued this warning in June: “Companies making disposable chopsticks will face local government restrictions aimed at decreasing the use of the throwaway utensil…. Production, circulation and recycling of disposable chopsticks should be more strictly supervised.” With summer floods devastating southern, western and northeastern China, a massive oil spill smothering the Yellow Sea off the port of Dalian, 3,000 barrels of chemicals bobbing aimlessly but threateningly in the Songhua River in the northeast, and nearly half a million newly registered cars — just since January — on Beijing roads spewing who knows how much additional carbon dioxide into the air, you may think that the government is unnecessarily overreaching in waging a war on the disposable chopstick. But start doing the math and the disposable chopstick, made largely from birch and poplar (and, less so, from bamboo, because of its higher cost) begins to look deeply menacing — an environmental disaster not to be taken lightly. Begin with China's 1.3 billion people. In one year, they go through roughly 45 billion pairs of the throwaway utensils; that averages out to nearly 130 million pairs of chopsticks a day. (The export market accounts for 18 billion pairs annually.) Greenpeace China has estimated that to keep up with this demand, 100 acres of trees need to be felled every 24 hours. Think here of a forest larger than Tiananmen Square — or 100 American football fields — being sacrificed every day. That works out to roughly 16 million to 25 million felled trees a year. Deforestation is one of China's gravest environmental problems, leading to soil erosion, famine, flooding, carbon dioxide release, desertification and species extinction.

Florida Gulf Oil Spill: Plans to Evacuate Tampa Bay Area Are In Place : Veterans Today

Posted on June 25, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Hernando County Political Buzz Examiner By Maryann Tobin Note to readers: This reprint of Maryann Tobin’s news story has over 14,700 reads as of June 24th. UPDATED: June 14, 2010 Gulf Oil Spill 2010: Plans to evacuate Tampa Bay area are in place. As FEMA and other government agencies prepare for what is now being called the worst oil spill disaster in history, plans to evacuate the Tampa Bay area are in place. The plans would be announed in the event of a controlled burn of surface oil in the Gulf of Mexico, or if wind or other conditions are expected to take toxic fumes through Tampa Bay. This practice has been used by the US Forestry service, when fire and smoke threaten the health and well being of people. The elderly and those with respiratory problems would be more susceptible to health risks, in the event of a controlled burn. Estimates of the rate of BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil spill have varied. Independent scientists now suggest that the true spill rate, before the riser pipe was cut off in June, was between 20,000 and 50,000 barrels a day. Since the April 20th explosion, which resulted in the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon rig, there have been more than a million gallons of chemicals poured into the Gulf of Mexico in efforts to break up the spill. The chemicals have come under scrutiny because of their own toxic nature. It is not certain if the massive slick will have to be set on fire near Tampa Bay, but the possibility has not been ruled out. BP has been using controlled burnes as a way to contain the oil spill since the crisis began. Plans to do additional controlled burns around the well site were announced by Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen at a briefing in early June added by: Monkey_Films
