Officials at the White House and State Department were advised just two hours after the September 11, 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, that Islamic militants were responsible, according to a new report. The emails, obtained by Reuters from government sources not connected with U.S. spy agencies or the State Department and who requested anonymity, specifically state that the Libyan group called Ansar al-Sharia claimed responsibility for the attacks. The emails also show how U.S. diplomats described the attack on the U.S. Embassy by militants with suggested terrorist ties, which claimed the life of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, even as it was still underway. Administration spokesmen, including White House spokesman Jay Carney, citing an unclassified assessment prepared by the CIA, maintained for days that the attacks likely were a spontaneous protest against an anti-Muslim film on YouTube. While officials did mention the possible involvement of “extremists” for this “act of terror,” they did not lay blame on any specific militant groups or possible links to al Qaeda or its affiliates until intelligence officials publicly alleged it on September 28. U.S. intelligence officials have emphasized since shortly after the attack that early intelligence reporting about the attack was mixed, and the White House’s responsehas become a point of contention during this month’s presidential debates . Spokesmen for the White House and State Department had no immediate comment. Follow the link to read the full report by Reuters filed earlier Wednesday morning.

Chris Brown’s recently-dumped ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran isn’t giving up on a future with him, according to reports. Guess she’s even more naive than we thought. Karrueche is reportedly telling friends she’s not about to throw in the towel regarding her relationship with Chris just because Rihanna is back in the picture. Sources say Tran was pissed when Brown gave her the chop this month, but never stopped loving him and is on a mission to WIN BREEZY BACK. Women never seem to learn when it comes to this guy. One source says Karrueche “got used to certain level of celebrity” while dating Chris, and is not ready to “go back to being basic” … such pure motivations. Even if that means hanging out with Chris (which she was earlier this week) while he’s clearly putting it to Rihanna, Karrueche is willing to go there – for now. Her ultimate goal is to ” edge Rihanna back out of the picture .” Good luck there. KT and CB dated for about a year, but he broke up with her two weeks ago. His reason? The guy just loves TOO much. “I love Karrueche very much but I don’t want to see her hurt over my friendship with Rihanna,” Brown Tweeted. He then released this douchetastic video describing his feelings: Chris Brown Drunk Rant So there you have it. The battle lines are clearly drawn. Two beautiful young women, each arguably mistreated and definitely strung along by Chris Brown to various degrees, cannot get enough of the R&B crooner. Massive amounts of self-respect radiating from this love triangle. You tell us below: Who should Chris Brown date?
Kim Kardashian, THG’s favorite celebrity/arch nemesis, turns 32 years old today. The talent-free reality star has been in the news lately for pretending to date Kanye West and for posing in a bikini . She’s also been busy paying her intern to post updates on Facebook and Twitter.

Below, we honor the birthday gal with a montage of Kim Kardashian nude pics…
George McGovern has died. The former presidential candidate and U.S. Senator was 90. McGovern passed away early Sunday at a hospice in Sioux Falls, S.D., his home state. Steve Hildebrand, a spokesman for the family, said in a statement to NBC News: “Our wonderful father, George McGovern passed away peacefully at the Dougherty Hospice House in Sioux Falls, SD, surrounded by our family and life-long friends. “We are blessed to know that our father lived a long, successful and productive life advocating for the hungry, being a progressive voice for millions and fighting for peace.” McGovern was a pilot in World War II who became an early critic of the Vietnam War and a leader of the Democrats’ liberal wing. He served in the Senate from 1963-1981. He ran for president three times, failing to win the Democratic nomination in 1968 and 1984. In 1972, he was the party’s candidate against incumbent Richard Nixon. He challenged Nixon on a platform opposing the war in Vietnam, but suffered one of the most lopsided defeats in history, winning only one state plus D.C. R.I.P.
Taylor Swift covers the latest issue of Billboard. In promotion of her new album – set to break every chart record out there on October 22 – the super, duper star talks to the magazine about a number of topics related to ” Red .” To wit: Its theme : It’s all the different ways that you have to say goodbye to someone. When you’re experiencing the ups and downs of a relationship, especially when you’re 22 years old, they all strike you different ways. Every different kind of missing someone, every kind of loss – it all sounds different to me. When you are missing someone, time seems to move slower and when I’m falling in love with someone, time seems to be moving faster. So I think, because time seems to move so slow when I’m sad, that’s why I spend so much time writing songs about it. It seems like I have more hours in the day. Its ballads : “Sad Beautiful Tragic” is really close to my heart. I remember it was after a show and I was on the bus thinking about this relationship that ended months and months before. The feeling wasn’t sadness and anger or those things anymore. It was wistful loss. And so I just got my guitar and I hit on the fact that I was thinking in terms of rhyming; I rhymed magic with tragic, changed a few things and ended it with what a sad beautiful tragic love affair. I wanted to tell the story in terms of a cloudy recollection of what went wrong. It’s kind of the murky gray, looking back on something you can’t change or get back. On being 22 years old : [It has] been my favorite year of my life. I like all the possibilities of how you’re still learning, but you know enough. You still know nothing, but you know that you know nothing. You’re old enough to start planning your life, but you’re young enough to know there are so many unanswered questions. That brings about a carefree feeling that is sort of based on indecision and fear and a the same time letting lose. Being 22 has taught me so much.

ELSA HOSK is a babe. I’ve seen her tits before, but unlike my wife’s tits, I don’t mind seeing them again….we are at that romantic stage in our relationship where we can stand each other, and everything she does, even if it has been done before by her and other Swedish models seems fresh, new and lovely as fuck…It will never be played out….and until her shitty personality gets shoved down my face day after day until the point in which I need to avoid her and go out drinking with friends to just not be at home…I support her every move….not that I’ve met her or ever will but you get what I’m saying….and that is that topless pics are the best. This is some Mohammed Ali tribute photoshoot for those of you who like models who pretend to be boxers…while topless….
