Benjamin Netanyahu Pushes For Sanctions Against Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu advocates for sanctions against Iran so as to prevent it from developing a nuclear weapons capability. He worries that the international community is not acting aggressively enough to prevent Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. There is a possibility that Iran could develop a nuclear weapons program which will become the biggest problem mankind will face in the future. However, the Israeli prime minister denied that their country imports petroleum from Iran. Unlike the leaders of Turkey and Brazil, Netanyahu strongly agrees with the U.S. President Barack Obama for sanctions to be implemented against Iran. There’s no room for giving them another chance and this is the best solution to prevent Iran in developing such harmful nuclear weapons. Benjamin Netanyahu Pushes For Sanctions Against Iran is a post from: Daily World Buzz Continue reading

Matthew Fox Denies Cheating on Wife

Rumors surfaced in February that Matthew Fox pulled a Josh Duhamel and cheated on his wife with some random stripper. Pretty wrong if it’s true. But Fox has finally broken his silence to say that it’s not, and there was no such railage of Stefani Talbott at Stars Cabaret club in Bend, Oregon. Fox has been married to wife Margherita for over 18 years, and in an interview with Playboy , he denied any sort of cheating on his better half. Mysteries of the island remain, however (see Lost review from last night). Matthew Fox and wife Margherita Fox . “The story is not true, and I’m not going to comment [further] on it,” he said . “Margherita and I have been best friends and best lovers.” “She’s the love of my life.” “We have managed to both be intensely independent and maintain strength in our relationship. I am a man, and I am an appreciator of women. At the same time, Margherita is the s—. I can honestly say we’re good together.” “We’ve been together for 23 years, so let’s leave it at that.” Well, that settles that. Hopefully Fox is telling the truth and we can leave it at that, and he isn’t hopping aboard the Jesse James Express to marriage exile.

Sarah Palin Better Not Have to Use One of Those Damn Straws That Doesn’t Bend

Watergate, it’s not, but a document found in a California state university trash bin last week shed interesting light into Sarah Palin’s upcoming speech there. On Tuesday, California Attorney General Jerry Brown said his office would look into finances of the California State University, Stanislaus Foundation. Why? For potentially violating ethics laws by keeping details of Palin’s contract secret. The former half-term Alaska Governor is scheduled to speak at a June 25 gala hosted by the foundation to commemorate the university’s 50th anniversary. Brown’s investigation was prompted in part, by a group of CSU Stanislaus students who retrieved five pages of the contract from a campus trash bin. This after hearing administrators were engaged in shredding documents – and some stuff they allegedly shredded paints a diva-like picture of Palin. The contract detailed the alleged politician’s requirements for her visit, including first-class flights from Anchorage to California – if she flies commercial. If not, “the private aircraft MUST BE a Lear 60 or larger,” the contract specifies (large enough to accommodate her ego entourage, in other words). The renowned nuclear weapons expert also must be given a suite at a deluxe hotel, and a lectern stocked with two water bottles with bendable straws. Regular straws and the deal is off. You got that?! The document, dated March 16, does not include specific compensation details for Sarah Palin, who commands speaking fees as high as $100,000. “This is not about Sarah Palin,” Brown said. “The issues are public disclosure and financial accountability in organizations embedded in universities.” Come on, it’s a little about Sarah Palin . Doesn’t sound like a scandal worthy of major attention … well, besides perhaps on the Sarah Palin Network .

Mandy Moore to Appear on Grey’s Anatomy

We haven’t heard from Mandy Moore since she agreed to marry Kellan Lutz . In a move slated for production later this year, that is. They’re not dating or anything. In fact, last year, Mandy Moore married Ryan Adams in real life. Today, it was announced that the actress-singer-songwriter is making a TV splash , slated to guest star on the two-hour Grey’s Anatomy finale May 20. Details surrounding the super-secret gig are being kept under wraps, at least until Shonda Rhimes drops Grey’s Anatomy spoilers to spark interest. It should be fun to see this cutie on the medical drama. But given the amount of people to die on its season finales, we’d better be prepared to cry. MANDY’S ANATOMY : Moore’s coming to Grey’s this month .

Garcelle Beauvais Outs Husband as Tiger Woods, Jesse James Equivalent

Mike Nilon, you’ve… been… served! The heretofore unknown husband of actress Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon is in the news today because his wife fired off an email to everyone that works at Creative Arts Agency (Mike’s place of employement). Its subject line? “Tiger Woods/Jesse James/Mike Nilon.” It’s not hard to imagine where Beauvais-Nilon went from there, is it? This is what the widely-circulated email allegedly says: “What do they have in common . . . I found out today that MY husband of almost 9 yrs has been having an affair for 5 yrs with some slut in Chicago. I am devastated!!!! And I have been duped!! Our boys don’t deserve this!” It could be worse, Garcelle. That “slut” could also be a lying Nazi worshipper . Just sayin. The couple has twin two-year old boys named Jax and Jaid. Shortly after they were born, the actress said about her husband: “He’s just really loving. He loves me no matter what I look like. It’s really important to find somebody that you love and you want to share your life with, and especially when there’s kids involved. We don’t take it lightly.” Beauvais (we’ve already removed his name from yours, honey) is best known for her four-year portrayal of an attorney on NYPD Blue . In the end, we hope she holds her head up high, secure in the knowledge that this is Mike Nilon’s loss? Why? He’ll never see this naked body ever again!

Barack Obama Goes Nuclear on Sarah Palin

The White House’s declaration that the U.S. will not respond to a conventional attack with nuclear weapons has come under attack itself … from Sarah Palin. Speaking in Minnesota, the former Alaska Governor and current professional celebrity said no previous administration would’ve ever considered such a step. “It’s unbelievable,” Palin said at a rally . “It’s like getting out there on a playground, a bunch of kids, getting ready to fight, and one of them says, ‘Go ahead, punch me in the face. I’m not going to retaliate. Do what you want to with me.'” That’s what Bristol Palin said to Levi Johnson! Sorry. Moving on. “This is another thing that the American public, the more they find out what is a part of this agenda, they’re going to rise up and say ‘no more,'” Sarah said. WHAT? WHO? Barack promptly shot down his harshest critic . Unaware or unwilling to consider nuance, Palin’s foreign policy is four words long: We win, you lose! Suffice it to say, the President, who believes reducing global nuclear proliferation and tension helps the U.S. “win” along with everyone else, was unmoved. “Last I checked, Sarah Palin is not much of an expert on nuclear issues,” Barack Obama told ABC, declining to elaborate but adding an additional jab at critics. “What I would say to them is that if the Secretary of Defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are comfortable with it, I’m probably going to take my advice from them, and not from Sarah Palin,” he told George Stephanopolous. Dude, you can see Russia from Alaska. Step off and let a pro handle it. Who’s the bomb when it comes to defense and foreign policy?

President Obama Cuts Nuclear Deal With Russia: Good or Bad Idea? 4 answers , 0 raves Less than a year after President Barack Obama called for a world without nuclear weapons, the U.S. and Russia have agreed to reduce the number of deployed nukes by more than 25 percent. The White House hopes the agreement, which will pick up where the old Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty left off, will set the stage for more ambitious cuts in the future. After all, the new treaty would still leave 1,600 warheads deployed on each side, with thousands more in storage. http://www.truthdig.com/eartotheground/item/obama_cuts_nuclea… Good Idea to Cut a Deal with Russia 50% (2 answers) Bad Idea to cut a deal with Russia 50% (2 answers)

Who Knew There Were So Many Interesting Ways to Die?

Let’s talk about the weird ways people die! Tonight, the Times writes about how New Yorkers die. Apparently, the city uses over 6,000 codes to classify accidental deaths. We looked at the list and found some doozys. These deaths are all classifications recognized by the 10th edition of the International Classification of Diseases manual . Doctors and the city use the manual to complete death certificates and compile statistics. Without further ado, here is a list of the strangest entries in the “accidents” section of the ICD: Weird Ways to Accidentally Die V35 Occupant of three-wheeled motor vehicle injured in collision with railway train or railway vehicle V71 Bus occupant injured in collision with pedal cycle V82.4 Person injured while boarding or alighting from streetcar V82.7 Occupant of streetcar injured in derailment without antecedent collision V95.1 Ultralight, microlight or powered-glider accident injuring occupant V95.4 Spacecraft accidents injuring occupant V96.0 Balloon accident injuring occupant V96.1 Hang-glider accident injuring occupant V96.8 Other nonpowered-aircraft accidents injuring occupant (Kite carrying a person) W04 Fall while being carried or supported by other persons W14 Fall from tree W15 Fall from cliff W26 Contact with knife, sword or dagger W27 Contact with nonpowered hand tool (includes: axe; can-opener; chisel; fork; handsaw; hoe; ice-pick; needle; paper-cutter; pitchfork; rake; scissors; screwdriver; sweing-machine, nonpowered; shovel) W41 Exposure to noise (includes: sound waves; supersonic waves) W44 Foreign body entering into or through eye or natural orifice W52 Crushed, pushed or stepped on by crowd or human stampeded W53 Bitten by rat W56 Bitten or struck by marine animal W64 Exposure to other and unspecified animate mechanical forces V84.7 Person on outside of special agricultural vehicle injured in nontraffic accident W88 Exposure to ionizing radiation (includes: radioactive isotopes; X-rays) X05 Exposure to ignition or melting of nightwear X21 Contact with venomous snakes and lizards (includes: Cobra; fer de lance; Gila monster; krait; rattlesnake; sea snake; snake (venomous); viper) X24 Contact with centipedes and venomous millipedes (tropical) X25 Contact with other venomous arthropods (includes: ant; caterpillar) X33 Victim of lightning (excludes: fire caused by lightning; injury from fall of tree or other object caused by lightning) Y36.5 War operations involving nuclear weapons (Includes: Blast effects; exposure to ionizing radiation from nuclear weapon; fireball effects; heat) X37 Victim of cataclysmic storm (includes: blizzard; cloudburst; cyclone; tornado) X51 Prolonged stay in weightless environment (includes: weightlessness in spacecraft (simulator)) U01.8 Terrorism, other specified (includes: lasers; battle wounds; piercing or stabbing object injuries; drowned in terrorist operations) X58 Exposure to unspecified factors
