It’s still Christmas in Jersey and we get to spend the festive morning with all the families. Who has the Christmas spirit and whose can use a little work? Let’s run it down in THG’s +/- review: Why can’t Teresa stop causing trouble? It’s only been a few weeks since she and her brother started speaking again. Having them show up for Christmas Eve is a big deal considering where their relationship was just a short time ago. But Teresa can’t let it be. When she hears the Gorgas are heading over to Kathy’s she can’t hold her tongue. She even tries to use the kids to make her point. Minus 10 for such a lack of manners. I can’t believe I’m saying this but Joe Gorga’s was the voice of reason. He explains that they had already accepted Kathy’s invitation so they felt obligated to attend both parties.

Her royal hotness. Lord of the arse-tocracy. Queen of the booty. She may be a commoner and not a Duchess like sister Kate, but ever since April, Pippa Middleton has become the style princess of the UK and beyond. Thanks to a form-fitting Alexander McQueen maid-of-honor gown, Pippa’s captivated couture critics, workout fanatics and plastic surgery lovers alike. “The latest craze here in the U.S. and across the world is to get the ‘Pippa Butt Lift,’” Miami-based celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Constantino Mendieta said. Whether women go the surgical route or not, “Once the breasts reigned supreme, now it’s the buttocks that are considered the best asset,” he adds. The giant badonkadonk is also out. While it was once trendy to boost a booty to mimic Kim Kardashian , “booty calls” for those two have been bumped for something Pippa-esque. Mendieta explains : “The buttocks has been an increasing and escalating interest over the last 4-5 years, but the iconic figure was Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian.” “Both have tremendous curves and large buttocks. While lots of people love their overall shape, many felt those derrieres were just a bit too big.” “But ever since the royal wedding, Pippa Middleton has become the new queen of the booty! She opens the doors to those who did not know you could have this small, shapely and perky backside without the large size.” There are also entire websites and blogs now dedicated to the younger Middleton’s posterior, not to mention appreciation pages on Facebook . Photographer Alison Jackson told the Daily Mail that she is working to create a Web series called, “How To Create The Perfect Pippa Bottom.” On the fitness front, Pippa’s Pilates instructor Margot Campbell has inked a book deal to detail just how one shapes up like her famous client. But it’s not just Middleton’s bottom half that has folks talking. “I am definitely seeing a rise in Pippa-like features,” Constantino said. “People want their clothes and body to look sexy, elegant and petite overall.” [Photos: Fame Pictures]
Remember dude who killed all those women in Cleveland??? The jury in the trial of accused Cleveland serial killer Anthony Sowell returned guilty verdicts Friday on multiple counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of 11 women whose remains were found in and around Sowell’s home. The jury deliberated two hours Wednesday and all day Thursday. Sowell showed no emotion as the judge read the jury’s verdict. Sowell is eligible to receive the death penalty, reports CBS affiliate WOIO. The phase of the trial to determine if he will receive it will begin Monday, August 1. Sowell, 51, lured the women to his home with alcohol and drugs and killed them, say police. Sowell had pleaded not guilty in the deaths of the 11 women who disappeared in his drug-ridden East Cleveland neighborhood starting in October 2007. The defense rested Tuesday without calling a single witness. The prosecution rested on Monday after showing the jury an eight-hour police interrogation of Sowell in which he said “I guess I did that” when asked about the bodies. Sowell faced 85 counts in total, including aggravated murder, offenses against a human corpse, tampering with evidence, kidnapping and felonious assault. He was found guilty of all of them, reports WOIO, except for aggravated robbery. Source

Many of today’s women and children are being enslaved through the rampant sex industry around the world. Promised a better life and more opportunities, women are sold by their families only to find that they were tricked and are actually being sold into prostitution. There are different forms of human trafficking, all of which involve women being lured away from their families toward a life in which they are constantly indebted to someone. Here are some statistics about the prevalence of human trafficking from a group called Global Issues Affecting Women : -The US Department of State estimates 600,000-800,000 trans-national trafficking victims each year . -The U.S. State Department estimates that 80 per cent of trafficking victims are women or girls (about 640,000 each year). -Human trafficking is the second largest criminal industry in the world after drug dealing, and it is the fastest growing. Similar to how drug dealing works, the exploiter profits from his sale. However, in this case, the item being sold is a human against her will. Often, women are forced into prostitution or forced to work extremely demanding jobs such as factory workers. Then, the owner of the woman gets to keep the majority of her profits, successfully keeping the woman inferior and needy. The reason that human traffickers are able to successfully scare their victims into silence and servitude is because they transport them to a foreign location where they have no connections or opportunities to save them. Women are stripped of their belongings and important travel documents in order to keep them from attempting to flee. Owners can easily deprive the woman of food and water to emphasize the power that they have over their victims. Here, the woman is the property of her owner and must abide to what he says or suffer the consequences of abuse, sexual assault, or even death. Often, women are blackmailed into listening to their owners because the victims are threatened that their owner will have her families killed at home if they do not follow the rules. One of the biggest risks with sex slavery is the prevalence of premature death of the woman. This can be the result of suicide, homicide, drug problems, or HIV/AIDS. Because women are forced to live unhealthy lifestyles at the mercy of their owner, they often fall victim to diseases and fatal situations. Human trafficking is an important issue not only because of the inhumane acts that it entails and the psychological damage that ensues, but also because of the illegal movement of immigrants across the globe. Just as slavery existed in American history, women are being sold, bought, and transported against their wills. At this very moment, women and children are being help captive, forced to give up their bodies and work without hopes of being able to escape and live a free life again.

‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Mildred Pierce’ help HBO lead the pack with 104 nominations. By Aly Semigran Dot-Marie Jones and Matthew Morrison in “Glee” Photo: FOX The nominations for the 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards were announced at the crack of dawn Thursday (July 14) — 5:40 a.m. PT, to be exact — and while reigning Outstanding Comedy Series champ “Glee” is currently undergoing some major casting shake-ups, the show’s ensemble still did well in the nominations department. Last year’s Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series winner Jane Lynch, who is also hosting the ceremony this year, will once again try for a supporting Emmy, as will Golden Globe winner Chris Colfer. 2010 nominee Lea Michele did not garner a nomination this time around. The musical dramedy also won nominations for guest stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Kristin Chenoweth and Dot-Marie Jones. As expected, there were some major upsets and shockers in each Emmy category, but perhaps none more apparent then the wildly popular HBO drama “True Blood” being shut out of all major categories, including Outstanding Drama Series and all major acting races. Actress Melissa McCarthy ‘s year, on the other hand, just continues to get better. In addition to her star-making turn in the breakout comedy “Bridesmaids,” McCarthy became a first-time Emmy nominee for her work on the sitcom “Mike & Molly.” The actress got the news firsthand as she, along with “Fringe” star Joshua Jackson, announced the nominations for the 2011 Emmy Awards Thursday morning. But the stunned McCarthy wasn’t the only one to have a good morning in Hollywood. McCarthy’s “Bridesmaids” co-star Kristen Wiig garnered her second nomination in the Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category for her work on “Saturday Night Live.” She’s up against the women of “Modern Family” and Betty White for “Hot in Cleveland.” “SNL,” which was nominated for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series, also brought some good luck to Justin Timberlake, who earned four Emmy nominations. The “Friends With Benefits” star was nominated for his appearance as host (he’ll go against the likes of Matt Damon and fellow “SNL” host Zach Galifianakis in the guest category) as well as winning three nominations for his musical contributions including “Jack Sparrow” and the Lady Gaga-featured “3-Way.” “SNL” vet Tina Fey found herself a double nominee thanks to her “SNL” hosting appearance and another Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series nomination for her work on “30 Rock.” But no comedy series cast had a better morning than the “Modern Family” ensemble. The show racked up an impressive 17 nominations, just behind cable dramas “Mad Men” (19 nods) and “Boardwalk Empire (18), with the entire cast (well, the adults, anyway) — Julie Bowen, Sofia Vergara, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ty Burrell, last year’s winner Eric Stonestreet and first-time nominee Ed O’Neill — all nominated in the supporting-actor/actress comedy series categories. Several stars were rewarded with nominations for their final year of work on their respective series. Steve Carell, who departed from Outstanding Comedy Series nominee “The Office” (which is competing against “The Big Bang Theory,” “Glee,” “Modern Family,” “Parks and Recreation” and “30 Rock”) towards the end of its seventh season, garnered another nomination in the Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series (Carell has never won). Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton of “Friday Night Lights,” whose final season wraps up this year, both earned lead acting nominations in the drama categories. “FNL” also scored with a nomination in the Outstanding Drama Series category, against “Boardwalk Empire,” “Dexter,” “Game of Thrones,” “The Good Wife” and “Mad Men.” Newcomer “Game of Thrones” did well for HBO, the most-nominated network this year. In addition to the drama nod, the series adapted from George R.R. Martin’s books also found a nomination for Peter Dinklage in the Supporting Actor in a Drama Series race. Other notable actor nominees this year include Jon Hamm (“Mad Men”), Michael C. Hall (“Dexter”), Amy Poehler (“Parks and Recreation”) and Kate Winslet (“Mildred Pierce”). HBO’s “Mildred Pierce” is the most-nominated work for 2011. Check out more nominees below, and for nominations in all Emmy categories, visit Emmy.com .

“I actually thought I was going to die at one point and left my body,” the actress and model Miranda Kerr, 28, tells Australian InStyle of the excruciating delivery back in January. “I was looking down on myself – the pain was so intense.” Childbirth was a bit of a nightmare for Miranda Kerr, but at least she has a dream husband with whom to raise baby Flynn. “I kept thinking, #39;How do women do this?#39; But if other women have done this, I can do it too. I was determined.” Six months later
