Ke$ha attended a Rihanna concert in Melbourne this week… but witnesses say she wasn’t exactly singing along to ” S&M ” or any other hit singles. The eccentric singer was spotted in the front row of the event, “all over” Scottish artist Calvin Harris, according to onlookers. One told T he Melbourne Herald Sun : “They were getting right into it. They were practically fornicating.” The burgeoning couple left the show early together, sources say, as “they were all over each other and didn’t care who was watching. Ke$ha is a bit of an animal, but Calvin reckons he can handle her.” His subesquent Tweet the next day implied as much: “2nd Melbourne show with Rihanna went great! Lots of people in town for Future festival too so was a fun night!” [Photos: Fame, WENN.com]

Video below of live coverage and horrible images of cars, houses, farms and more being swept away by the Tsunami that hit Japan after a massive 8.9 magnitude earthquake: A state of emergency has been called, 200-300 bodies found in the port city of Sendai and many more unaccounted for still. The effects were felt as far as Tokyo and tsunami warnings were extended across the Pacific to North and South… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Wake Up America Discovery Date : 11/03/2011 15:38 Number of articles : 2
The epicenter was 373 kilometers (231 miles) away from the capital, Tokyo, the United States Geological Survey said. But residents there felt the tremors. The quake rattled buildings and toppled cars off bridges and into waters underneath. Waves of debris flowed like lava across farmland, pushing boats, houses and trailers toward highways. In Tokyo, crowds gathered in the streets and tried to reach relatives via cell phone. Scenes inside office buildings showed papers strewn all over the floor and people clinging onto seats and desks. Such a large earthquake at such a shallow depth creates a lot of energy, said Shenza Chen of the U.S. Geological Survey. It caused a power outage in about 4 million homes in Tokyo and surrounding areas. A tsunami in the Pacific was moving closer to other shorelines in other countries, said CNN meteorologist Ivan Cabrera. It triggered tsunami warnings for various countries, including Japan and Russia, the National Weather Service said. “Earthquakes of this size are known to generate tsunamis potentially dangerous to coasts outside the source region,” it said. “Based on all available data a tsunami may have been generated by this earthquake that could be destructive on coastal areas even far from the epicenter.” The quake was the latest in a series in the region this week. Early Thursday, an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.3 struck off the coast of Honshu. A day earlier, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck off of Honshu, the country’s meteorological agency said. The largest recorded quake took place in Chile on May 22, 1960, with a magnitude of 9.5, the USGS said.
The full list of winners in the television categories at the 2011 Writers Guild of America Awards is out and there are some big surprises! First off, the Starz series Spartacus: Gods of the Arena was snubbed for Best Drama even though it gave us copious nudity and a lesbian scene with Lucy Lawless . That might be due to the fact that the series was technically ineligible for the award since it began in 2011. But then how do you explain the absence of the equally spec-rack-ular Spartacus: Blood and Sand , which definitely aired in 2010, on the list of nominees? The WGA wasn’t so blind in other categories. They awarded Best New Series to HBO’s Boardwalk Empire , which had not only topless lesbians, but a fully frontal Paz de la Huerta . And Best Long Form Adaptation went to episode eight of The Pacific , which coincidentally contained the naked knockerage of Annie Parisse . WGA must stand for, “Whoa! Good Ass!”
