Christie Brinkley Is 59 And Is Busting Out Big Time!

I’ve covered a lot of lame events in the name of cleavage before, but I think this one might be the best yet: here’s Christie Brinkley at the South Fork Natural History Museum Benefit. And speaking of natural history, I’d like to get up close and personal with those 59-year-old funbags of Christie’s. I’m sure there’s no touching or flash photography allowed, but I just don’t think I could help myself. I can’t believe those puppies are still so well-preserved. Related Articles: J.

Jesus Take The Wheel: Woman Stabs 59-Year-Old Man To Death With Her Stiletto Shoe

Wow, that had to be painful to be stabbed with a stiletto. Woman Stabs Man To Death With Stiletto According to ABC 13 A woman is accused in a bizarre murder in Houston’s Museum District. Investigators say she stabbed a man with the heel of her shoe. Authorities found the woman in the apartment with the victim at The Parklane, luxury highrise condominiums in the 1700 block of Hermann Drive. Another tenant called 911 around 4am Sunday, telling dispatchers someone was being assaulted. When officers arrived, Ana Lilia Trujillo answered the door to a unit on the 18th floor. That’s where they found the 59-year-old victim’s body. According to Houston police, the man was stabbed multiple times. The weapon investigators think she used: a stiletto heel. Officers detained Trujillo and questioned her at the scene. They said she was initially cooperative, but she reportedly stopped speaking to investigators and was transported downtown for additional questioning. Investigators said the victim lived in the apartment, but Trujillo did not and was visiting. Their relationship is unknown. Residents at The Parklane were hesitant to talk about the crime. The few who did speak with us off camera admitted they were shocked by what happened. Trujillo, 44, has been charged with murder. The victim’s name has not been released. The motive is unclear and the investigation continues. Men, ya’ll have to be more careful messing with these females. You out here freaking them and they want a relationship. That’s where the trouble begins.

Anne Frank Diary Pornographic, Mom Claims in Middle School Complaint

Is The Diary of Anne Frank pornographic? One mother in Northville, Mich., believes so and even went so far as to file formal complaint with her child’s middle school, according to local news reports. The following passage from the The Definitive Edition of the Diary of a Young Girl is the main reason why the mom is so outraged by the famous work: “Until I was 11 or 12, I didn’t realize there was a second set of labia on the inside, since you couldn’t see them. What’s even funnier is that I thought urine came out of the clitoris.” “When you’re standing up, all you see from the front is hair.” “Between your legs there are two soft, cushiony things, also covered with hair, which press together when you’re standing, so you can’t see what’s inside.” “They separate when you sit down and they’re very red and quite fleshy on the inside. In the upper part, between the outer labia, there’s a fold of skin that, on second thought, looks like a kind of blister.” “That’s the clitoris.” Because of this, the woman wants the book yanked from the curriculum, but insists this “doesn’t mean my child is sheltered” or she lives in a bubble. “If they watch any kind of movie with a swear word in it, I have to sign a permission slip,” Horalek adds, believing she should have had that option here. The Northville School District said in response that there is a committee in place to review such complaints and it will do so at the appropriate time. This is not the first time the The Diary of Anne Frank has drawn harsh criticism from parents because of its passages that are explicit about sexuality. Furthermore, some say it is simply too depressing for students. Anne Frank died in March 1945 in a concentration camp and posthumously became perhaps the most famous victim of the Holocaust through her diary. The only good thing to come out of this heated school debate? The Justin Bieber Anne Frank Museum guest book controversy seems tame by comparison.

A “Lil Positivity” Barry-O To Speak At Rosa Parks Statue Unveiling At U.S. Capitol Next Week

Ahhh-haaa hush that fuss, even Barry-O spent time in the back of the bus… President Obama To Speak At Rosa Parks Statue Unveiling Via Yahoo! President Barack Obama will join Democratic and Republican congressional leaders next week for the ceremony to unveil a statue of civil rights icon Rosa Parks at the U.S. Capitol—the first statue of an African-American woman in the halls of Congress. In 1955, Parks, a Montgomery, Ala., seamstress, refused to give up her seat on a public bus to a white man. She was convicted of violating the state’s segregation laws, and her legal battle ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled the bus segregation law unconstitutional. In April 2012, Obama visited the Henry Ford Museum after a campaign rally in Dearborn, Mich. Official White House photographer Pete Souza snapped a picture of the president sitting on the Rosa Parks bus. Republican House Speaker John Boehner and Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid invited Obama to attend the unveiling. “We will come together to celebrate the life and legacy of Mrs. Parks, whose statue will be the first of an African-American woman in the Capitol,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to Obama. “This is a national statue and this ceremony will be a national moment, an occasion to recount a watershed event in our history and reaffirm our capacity to confront injustice and lift each other up.” True dat. You know Barry is gonna SLAY his speech, the whole place will probably be in tears. Image via tumblr

Michigan McDonald’s Settles $700,000 Lawsuit With Muslim Group For Falsely Advertising That Chicken Sandwich Was Halal

Praise be to Allah Michigan McDonald’s Settles $700,000 Halal Lawsuit With Muslim Group Via ABCNews McDonald’s and one of its franchise owners agreed to pay $700,000 to members of the Muslim community to settle allegations a Detroit-area restaurant falsely advertised its food as being prepared according to Islamic dietary law. McDonald’s and Finley’s Management Co. agreed Friday to the tentative settlement, with that money to be shared by Dearborn Heights resident Ahmed Ahmed, a Detroit health clinic, the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn and lawyers. Ahmed’s attorney, Kassem Dakhlallah, told The Associated Press on Monday that he’s “thrilled” with the preliminary deal that’s expected to be finalized March 1. McDonald’s and Finley’s Management deny any liability but say the settlement is in their best interests. The lawsuit alleged that Ahmed bought a chicken sandwich in September 2011 at a Dearborn McDonald’s but found it wasn’t halal — meaning it didn’t meet Islamic requirements for preparing food. Islam forbids consumption of pork, and God’s name must be invoked before an animal providing meat for consumption is slaughtered. Dakhlallah said there are only two McDonald’s in the United States that sell halal products and both are in Dearborn, which has one of the nation’s largest Arab and Muslim communities. Overall, the Detroit area is home to about 150,000 Muslims of many different ethnicities. Damn, who knew that McDonald’s was catering to our muslim brothers and sisters? The locations advertise that they exclusively sell halal Chicken McNuggets and McChicken sandwiches and they have to get those products from an approved halal provider, Dakhlallah said. He said there was no evidence of problems on the production side, but he alleges that the Dearborn location on Ford Road sold non-halal products when it ran out of halal. Dakhlallah said he was approached by Ahmed, and they conducted an investigation. A letter sent to McDonald’s Corp. and Finley’s Management by Dakhlallah’s firm said Ahmed had “confirmed from a source familiar with the inventory” that the restaurant had sold non-halal food “on many occasions.” After they received no response to the letter, Dakhlallah said, they filed a lawsuit in Wayne County Circuit Court in November 2011 as part of a class action.
