Laptops Linked to Infertility or Honey you dont need a vasectomy

Mon, 14 May 2007 23:28:35 GMT

Working from home is great - you just load up your laptop and stretch out in your pyjamas! But, working on a laptop may not be all it’s cracked up to be. A health study has indicated that men who work with their laptop on their laps are at risk for infertility problems and testicular dysfunction.
Men who regularly balance their laptop computers on their laps when working may be jeopardizing their ability to have children, according to a... study from fertility researchers at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. The potential risk comes from the heat generated by the laptop computer and the close position of one's thighs when balancing the computer on one's lap, the researchers found. This heat is transferred to the scrotum, where the temperature can rise several degrees, putting users within the danger zone for testicular dysfunction. (wired)

Bill Gates: Reading to go 'completely online'

Thu, 10 May 2007 14:56:48 GMT

Bill Gates offered his take on the future of media and advertising during his address this morning at Microsoft's Strategic Account Summit online advertising conference in Seattle. It's not a new subject for the Microsoft chairman, but he went into a considerable amount of detail, more than I can remember him saying on the topic in the past. Some of his comments:

On the printed page vs. the screen: "Reading is going to go completely online. We believe that as we get the smaller form factor, the screen has gotten good enough. Why is reading online better? It's up to date, you can navigate, you can follow links. The ads in the online reading are completely targeted as opposed to just being run-of-print, where many of the readers will find them completely irrelevant. The ads can be in new and richer formats. In fact the only drawbacks of the digital form are the things associated with the device: how big is it, heavy is it, how many hours of power does it have, how much do I have to spend to buy it? But those are things that once you achieve that threshold, in terms of the convenience and the cost, then you see a dramatic change in behavior. Today, for people who read newspapers and magazines, even the most avid PC user probably still does quite a bit of reading on print. As the device moves down in size and simplicity, that will change, and so somewhere in the next five-year period we'll hit that transition point, and things will be even more dramatic than they are today."

On television: "This is a subject I think about a lot, because it was actually about a little over 10 years ago that Microsoft first got involved in this idea of changing TV from being a simply broadcast medium to being a targeted medium (through its IPTV initiative). ... In order to have this be targeted, you cannot send it over the airwaves. There's just not enough capacity to broadcast thousands and thousands of different video feeds. And that's where the Internet comes in. The Internet is now cheap enough that the idea of having every household in America watching a different video feed has become practical. There's some infrastructure improvement that that implies. Actually, that's very much under way. ... It's a dramatic change in TV. ... Broadcast infrastructure over these next five years will not be viewed as competitive. The end-user experience and the creativity, the new content that will emerge using the capabilities of this environment will be so much dramatically better that broadcast TV will not be competitive. And in this environment, the ads will be targeted, not just targeted to the neighborhood level, but targeted to the viewer. ... We'll actually not just know the household that that viewing is taking place in, we'll actually know who the viewers of that show are, and so it's a very rich environment."

On printed newspapers: "The media itself will be quite, quite different. Who can create this media, who can distribute it? How do you find what you're interested in? I have a lot of friends in the newspaper industry, and of course, this is a tough, wrenching change for them, because the number of people who actually buy, subscribe to the newspaper and read it has started an inexorable decline. In fact, when we look at it by age group, it's quite dramatic how different that is. People have found some combination of TV and the Internet as the way that they can get their news, even the local news that historically was only available in that print form."

On print newspaper advertising: "For many years, even as readership started to go down, the value of print advertising maintained itself, because the dollars per user sort of offset these subscription declines. Now it's getting to the point where people are shifting budgets into the new areas. That's a very tough challenge. It means they need to take a lot of their skills, a lot of their expertise and move it into that Internet world. But it's a very different world, it's not a world where you have a single person who can deliver things like the classified ads. You have many people competing. So it's fascinating to look at job markets within a city, or the nationwide job markets and look to the degree it's new people who have done that well or it's traditional media people who have come in. One thing we can say for sure: It's a far richer experience for the person who wants to list and find that job and far more competitive in terms of the rate of innovation that those things are going to take place. The Internet is like a lot of things -- the only sure winner, with the breakthroughs, are the consumers themselves."

On printed Yellow Pages listings: "The Yellow Pages are going to be used less and less. When you go to this service that's going to take our technology and Tellme technology that we acquired, when you say something like "plumber," the presentation you get will be far better than something you get in the Yellow Pages. After all, we know your location, and so we can cluster around that. We can take the information and show you the names, and you can expand the information easily. These things always take time, but Yellow Page usage among people, say, below 50, will drop to zero -- near zero -- over the next five years."

The Nintendo DS Lite 10 million DS Lites sold in Japan

Thu, 10 May 2007 14:56:03 GMT

The Nintendo DS Lite has sold more than 10 million units in Japan according to research by Famitsu.

The handheld has been threatening to break through the 10 million barrier for the past month after Nintendo's latest financials revealed shipments up to 9.48 million had reached the Japanese market by the end of March.

Total sales of the DS Lite worldwide are now more than 22 million following its launch just over a year ago, and combined sales of the Lite and original DS unit are well over 40 million.

The Japanese Lite retails for around JPY 16,800 (GBP 70 / USD 140), and sold 702,844 units in April to take it over the 10 million threshold, Famitsu said.

Its closest rival for hardware sales was Nintendo Wii (287,722 sales), followed by PlayStation Portable (158,291), as PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 racked up 71,247 and 67,673 sales respectively.

Moto to unveil 'media monster' cell phone

Thu, 10 May 2007 14:55:24 GMT

For several months now we've been begging Motorola to give us a new cell phone beyond yet another version of the Razr. Well now it appears our wishes may be answered very soon. Just today we received an e-mail invitation for a Moto press event next week in New York City. The invite didn't tell us much but it did promise that Motorola would present "The Mobile Experience" and that CEO Ed Zander and other company execs would talk about "what's next."

We can only hope that "what's next" is something other than a thin phone. And according to the latest cell phone dish that will be the case. At a tech conference in San Jose yesterday Zander said Moto would use next week's event to unveil a "media monster" cell phone. The unnamed handset will be able to play full-length moves from SD cards and the video will show video at 30 frames-per-second (the same as on a standard TV). Admittedly, that sounds petty cool but I'm not so thrilled with watching an entire movie on a tiny cell phone display. And of course I hope the phone can make good calls too.

But before you get too excited Zander said Moto will target the device at the European market to start due to the widely available 3G networks there. The device will come to North America as well but we have no idea when. Stay tuned next Tuesday as Crave will attend the event in force.

A Brooklyn teen learns she was born HIV-positive.

Web can ruin reputation with stroke of a key

Sun, 06 May 2007 18:32:43 GMT

Sue Scheff, a victim of online defamation, successfully s...

The first postings appeared soon after Sue Scheff, who runs a Web-based referral service for parents with troubled teenagers, advised a woman from Louisiana to withdraw her twin sons from a boarding school in 2002.

Scheff is "a con artist," "a crook" and "a fraud," according to the messages, which peppered blogs and Internet forums for parents of troubled teens.

Soon, calls to Scheff's Parents Universal Resource Experts dropped by half, said Scheff, 45, who lives in Weston, Fla. "People would say: 'You know, I just read this about you online. How do I know I can trust you?' "

Scheff, whose 6-year-old service usually draws a lot of traffic, is a victim of an emerging phenomenon: online smear campaigns, which can wreak havoc in the victims' professional and business lives at the touch of a few keystrokes.

"It is happening ... on more or less every Web site where people can create content," said Michael Fertik, a co-founder of ReputationDefender, a Palo Alto-based group that helps clients remove damaging content from the Internet. "From underage people, to university people, to graduate school people, to older people, to people who are being targeted by exes, to people who are being targeted by ex-business partners, colleagues at work."

Millions of Americans use Internet search engines and social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook to learn more about prospective dates, neighbors and colleagues. One in 4 hiring managers use online search engines like Google to screen job candidates, a survey by the CareerBuilder job search engine showed last fall. The Internet has become a 21st century credit report service.

The catch: Anyone can post any information about anyone, however false, on any one of the thousands of Internet sites with modifiable content. Once posted, defamatory information can be stored on the Web forever, accessible to anyone via a simple search.

"You would Google my name, and what would come up was 'beware of Sue Scheff,' " said Scheff, 45, who eventually won an $11.3 million defamation lawsuit last fall against the mother from Louisiana, Carey Bock, the author of most of the original postings accusing Scheff of fraud that started appearing in 2003. "It was ugly. It was horrible."

Bock, 49, told The Chronicle last week that she will appeal the decision, handed down by a jury in Florida's Broward County Circuit Court. "I don't think I've done anything wrong," she said.

"There have always been cases of people speaking their minds without thinking of ramifications," and defamatory postings are "simply a new expression of that," said Rebecca Jeschke, spokeswoman for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a San Francisco nonprofit legal organization that advocates digital rights and free speech.

In contrast to ReputationDefender, she said, the foundation counsels many people "who are being accused of defamation, who say what they said was an opinion."

Because it is often hard to tell fiction from fact, employers sometimes unwittingly allow falsehoods posted on the Internet to inform their decisions about prospective employees, said Larry Ponemon, president and founder of the Michigan-based Ponemon Institute, which specializes in privacy research.

"Cyber-slamming is a recent phenomenon (that is) going to create an entire area of legal issues for people who were denied potential employment because someone decided to publish slanderous information on them," Ponemon said.

A February survey by the institute showed that roughly one-third of Internet searches by hiring managers yielded content that became the basis for denying jobs to the candidates.

That's what one Yale law student believes happened to her earlier this year when none of the 16 law firms to which she had applied for a summer job made her an offer. The student, who did not want her name used because she feared retribution online, has published articles in legal journals and says she has "great grades."

She was one of several female Yale law students singled out by anonymous contributors to a popular law school message board on AutoAdmit.com, a discussion forum for law students.

The postings contain derogatory references to her mental capacity and sexual activity, claim she had sexually transmitted diseases, and threaten sexual violence against her.

The woman said the law firm representatives who had interviewed her must have seen these comments. She said the representatives had asked her for personal information that she had not included in her resume, but which appears alongside the AutoAdmit.com postings when her name is searched on Google.

"That's really unprecedented; most students get multiple job offers. I have been applying in an area I have an immense expertise in. I knew my stuff," said the student, who said she does not know who wrote the anonymous postings.

Law firms are reluctant to hire students whose names are associated with anything scandalous, said another Yale law student. An AutoAdmit.com chat last winter discussed the student's breasts and posted her photographs.

"They don't want their clients to be able to Google their attorney's names and see this," she explained.

The women had asked Jarret Cohen, the owner of AutoAdmit.com, to remove the discussions, but he had refused.

"It's a slippery slope once you start deciding what is and what isn't allowed to be said," Cohen, a 23-year-old insurance broker in Pennsylvania, wrote in an e-mail to The Chronicle. He acknowledged that violations of privacy on discussion boards are "part of a growing social problem on the Internet."

Harold Koh, dean of Yale Law School, denounced the assertions on AutoAdmit.com as "false and hurtful" in an open letter to the law school students. "These malicious attacks, as well as racist, sexist and homophobic speech, have no place in the Yale Law School community," Koh wrote. AutoAdmit.com is not affiliated with Yale.

Under current law, a court cannot oblige the owner of a site hosting defamatory postings to remove the offensive content, said Fertik, whose company has hundreds of clients across 17 countries.

ReputationDefender (www .reputationdefender.com), which was founded last fall, charges $29.95 to try to remove each item from the Internet, and a monthly fee of $9.95 to continue to monitor postings about an existing client.

Sporadic attempts to rein in defamatory content have been unsuccessful so far. Last month, bloggers denounced as censorship a call to ban anonymous comments and delete abusive posts. The proposal by Tim O'Reilly, a book publisher and chief of O'Reilly Media Inc., came after Kathy Sierra, a Colorado blogger, received anonymous death threats and was frightened into canceling her appearance at O'Reilly's conference in San Diego.

Damaging postings don't always come from ill-wishers. Individuals post provocative information or pictures of themselves, only to learn later that employers see these posts as reason not to hire them, said Jennifer Sullivan, a spokeswoman for CareerBuilder.

Applicants typically get in trouble, she said, by posting "information or photos that show them drinking or using drugs or being irresponsible," Sullivan said.

"The Internet is a big tattooing machine that makes you relive momentary mistakes and lapses in judgment that we all make," said Fertik, who said ReputationDefender often helps people remove items they had posted on the Internet about themselves.

Still, it hurts far more when such postings appear without the knowledge of their subjects -- as happened to Danté Roberson, a jazz and hip-hop drummer from Oakland. When an anonymous posting on MySpace.com in January accused him of being a thief, Roberson hired ReputationDefender, which persuaded the owner of the specific MySpace.com page to remove the offending post that Roberson said could have cost him numerous gigs.

"Who wants to have all that kind of mess in their camp?" said Roberson, who makes a living touring with bands. "You are trying to run a clean and sober camp and all of a sudden this (appears). Who wants to have this dirtiness on them?"

What does $456 billion buy?

Sun, 06 May 2007 18:29:53 GMT

While there is some disagreement on the idea of troop deadlines for US soldiers in Iraq, all sides seem to be on board with the amount included in the bill to fund the war.

Including the $124.2 billion bill, the total cost of the Iraq war may reach $456 billion in September, according to the National Priorities Project, an organization that tracks public spending.

The amount got us wondering: What would $456 billion buy?

Rumor-Kobe’s Wife Gets Cozy With The Mexican Mafia

Sun, 28 Jan 2007 14:26:52 GMT

Kobe Bryant may be losing his wife to a former Los Angeles gang banger-that’s the word from a snitching source who knows the NBA trophy wife.

The snitch has a brother who briefly dated Vanessa Bryant, a former hip-hop music video model, as a teenager. Since his release from prison, he and V.B have reportedly been spending time together-and according to the tattle, Vannie’s ex is interested in more than just walking down memory lane:

“I know how my brother feels about Vanessa - that’s his heart … and it looks like she might feel the same way about him.”

“My brother was in [prison] for 5 years … but he’s out now and he’s catching up with all his old friends - including Vanessa.” Snitching sis says that V and her recently sprung bro have been out at least five times since his release from the Big House two months ago. Given some of V’s ex’s friends, Kobe had better keep his mouth shut:

“I’m not saying that he’s in [the Mexican Mafia], but when you’re Mexican and grow up in L.A. like us - you have all kinds of homies.”

Marcheline Bertrand Angelina Jolie’s Mother Has Passed Away

Sun, 28 Jan 2007 14:25:04 GMT

Marcheline Bertrand, actress and mother of Angelina Jolie, has died of cancer after a 7 and a half year battle.

Bertrand died Saturday afternoon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Angelina confirmed in a statement released today. Angelina, Brad Pitt and Angie’s older brother, James Haven, were at the hospital when she passed away.

A private funeral is being planned and instead of flowers, the family has asked for donations to the Women’s Cancer Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Angie and the entire family.

Public Display of Affection between Peter Crouch and Abbey and Clancy

Sun, 28 Jan 2007 14:23:43 GMT

WHAT a shot! England hero Peter Crouch-ing to get on level pecking with lover Abbey Clancy.

The 6ft7in striker loomed over 5ft9in Abbey as they strolled through Barcelona.

And the string-bean soccer ace—famed for his zany robodance goal celebrations —was forced to stoop right over just to give her a hug.

One onlooker said: "There's a huge height difference. It was funny to see them straining to meet in the middlefor a kiss."

The couple took the Spanish mini-break after he helped her celebrate her 21st birthday in Liverpool by buying her a £20,000 Mini.

Crouch is famous for his high balls, but we caught lowdown Abbey handling in the area.

John Mayer hires hooker. Oh wait, that’s Jessica

Sun, 28 Jan 2007 01:22:58 GMT

John Mayer and Jessica Simpson rolled in (on his tour bus) into Miami yesterday, and checked in to the Four Seasons. Ok, I realize that he is on the phone, and that the paps are around, but what is with the body language between these two? I am beginning to really believe that this relationship is a fake. I can see what Jessica has to gain from it, but how about John Mayer? Does he have something sordid in his past that Papa Joe Simpson has dug up and is holding against him? Does he need a kidney transplant and Jessica has offered one of hers to him? I am so confused. Why, Johnny Boy, WHY?

An Open Letter To The Kid In The Background Of The Jessica Alba Pictures

Thu, 11 Jan 2007 13:50:36 GMT

Dear Kid In The Background Of The Jessica Alba Bikini Pictures;

You're a lucky son of a bitch. You'll never do anything as good in your life again as casually swim by Jessica Alba while she's wearing a bikini.

None of us will. That's the highest achievement of mankind.

You could do great things; cure cancer, win multiple academy awards, sell ten million records, become the president of Zimbabwe. But when you completed any of these achievements, the headline in the newspaper the next day would read "Boy Who Swam Next To Alba Did Good." And you're not gonna be mad when that happens. Because Jessica Alba is that friggn' hot.

You look about eight years old. Maybe younger. Now when I was eight, I wasn't really popping too many boners. I was mostly thinking about the Ninja Turtles. But I can see it in your face, kid. You've got a diving board down your pants. I'm sure you have no idea what to do with it, whatever. The point is, Alba's so hot she gave an eight year old wood. She's so hot she gives new born babies wood. Hell, she's so friggin' hot she gives chicks wood. So kid, don't be embarrassed. You're in good company.

Also, if you're ever strapped for cash, I've got an idea for you. Put the goggles you wore on eBay. List them as "Goggles Worn When I Saw Jessica Alba In A Bikini" and set the minimum bid at $10,000. And then watch them sell. For a million bucks. You're probably thinking, but wait, they didn't even touch Alba, who's gonna buy them?" Kid, ohhh kid. The same sun rays that were baking the sweet, supple perfection that is Jessica Alba's ass passed through those goggles. The same salt water that tingled in between Alba's nether parts touched those goggles. Trust me. They'll sell.

I'm sorry for you, however, because you're never gonna find another woman attractive again. You've seen the mold, the absolute pinnacle, and now every other chick you'll come across will look inferior. You're probably gonna turn gay...and that's only expected of you.

In conclusion kid, I salute you. You saw Jessica Alba swim by...and lived to fight another day. Alba in a bikini is like a modern day version of a medieval dragon...mythical, amazing...and dangerous as hell.

Congratulations...and...can I hang out with you some time?

Love;

Lindsay Lohan's Liver is Fucked

Thu, 11 Jan 2007 13:49:11 GMT

So the other day, when I was making fun of Lindsay Lohan's post-op partying, I made the prediction that Lindsay's next hospital visit would be for liver failure. Well, in the immortal words of Steven Colbert: I CALLED IT!

According to The National Enquirer, when Lindsay Lohan was in the hospital to have her appendix removed, her blood work showed that Lindsay's liver enzymes are "extremely elevated," and Lohan has been warned she may die, if she doesn't stop drinking.

"The appendectomy was routine, but what doctors discovered in her blood work was not," a source close to the actress told The ENQUIRER.

"Lindsay's liver panel shows her drinking is taking a terrible toll on her health. Her liver enzymes are extremely elevated, and doctors warned her if she doesn't quit boozing she could die!"

The high levels of two particular liver enzymes indicate that some of Lindsay's liver cells are damaged and are leaking these enzymes into her blood.

In addition to the raised enzymes, the levels of protein in her liver were shockingly low — so low her doctors "couldn't believe she was even walking around," said an insider.

Yup, Lindsay Lohan is dying, and it's all her fault. At the rate she's going, I give her about a year, 18 months tops. Of course, those projections are based on a death due to complications from liver failure, with odds at 5:1. The likelihood of Lindsay dying in a car crash are 3:1, but the safe money is on a drug overdose at 1:1.

It’s always nice to see Shannon Elizabeth pictures. I happen to think she’s one of the hottest pieces of ass playing tournament poker today. Oh wait, she’s the only piece of ass playing tournament poker. Seriously, what the hell is she doing at these events? I mean, these are the best years of her life and sitting at a table with a bunch of beer-guzzling fat slobs isn’t going to help that sick little body of hers.

Now there’s got to be a bad horror flick out there that requires an actress with minimal talent to remove her clothing. And if not, add a nude scene to it. I guarantee you Shannon’s asking price is not that high.

Scarlett Johansson Was A Diva On The Set Of JT's New Video?

Wed, 10 Jan 2007 02:22:42 GMT

Scarlett Johansson was said to have got a little stroppy when she wasn't allowed to smoke on set, and allegedly said: "How come we have fire dancers, but I can't smoke?"

Eating in front of her was also reportedly banned, with her bodyguard telling crew members to go somewhere else if they were going to eat.

However, her publicist Marcel Pariseau has blasted the claims, according to the New York Daily News.

He said: "Scarlett is always respectful of other people and never made this statement. Also, Scarlett doesn't have a bodyguard."

You guys should already know I love me some Scar Jo, so I don't care if this is true or not.

Not allowing folk to eat in front of you is absolutely brilliant! Eff being on a diet. Bitch, don't eat in front of me. I'm gonna start practicing that shit now. HAWT! No one will listen, but it's worth a shot.

I've never heard of a diva request like this and I luv it. Don't hate, duplicate.

Kelly Osbourne wants to pose in PLAYBOY

Wed, 10 Jan 2007 02:21:43 GMT

Role model and avid feminist Kelly Osbourne wants you to know that growing up rich and semi-famous is a valid excuse for substance abuse and depression.

It’s so easy for me to fall back into depression. I think it comes with having money. I don’t have to work. I could be sitting bored and depressed at home with a bag on my head.

Scientists agree with Kelly, noting that Mother Teresa would never have helped all those sick orphans if just once she had been able to party at Hyde with Brandon Davis. “You know why Ghandi changed the world?” not one of them said. “Because he was fucking broke.”

Speaking of “bag on her head,” Osbourne expressed a desire to pose naked for Playboy magazine.

I’d go fully nude, but I’d have to have some airbrushing on my tits.

Unless “tits” is some new slang word meaning “face, hair and body,” I’d say that’s extremely generous of Kelly. In fact, an impromptu survey of every living creature has shown that a layout featuring Mother Teresa riding reverse cowgirl on Ghandi’s corpse would outsell naked photos of Kelly Osbourne.

Dita Von Teese 'sick of husband's partying with Lindsay Lohan'

Wed, 10 Jan 2007 02:21:12 GMT

Dita Von Teese allegedly split from husband Marilyn Manson because she was sick of his constant partying and friendship with Lindsay Lohan.

The burlesque dancer filed for divorce from the goth rocker last Friday citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.

Now it has been revealed that Dita, who moved out of the couple's house before Christmas, decided to walk away from the marriage after growing tired of Manson's late night parties and refusal to settle down and start a family.

A source close to Dita told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "She just had enough of his wild partying. Lindsay Lohan was ringing up the house wanting to come round and party with him.

"The phone would go all through the night, with people constantly turning up to hang out. Dita wants a quieter life and to have a baby. She told Manson to sort himself out or she was leaving.

"Unfortunately, nothing changed and he didn't clean up his act."

It has also been alleged that Manson - real name Brian Warner - had become paranoid from drug use during the pair's marriage.

The source added: "He became paranoid as a result of the drugs he was taking. At one stage he thought the cleaner was trying to kill him."

The couple married in a gothic-style ceremony at an Irish castle in 2005.

They have two cats, Lily and Aleister, and two dachshunds, Greta and Eva, together.

Nicole Richie Faces Jail Time

Sun, 07 Jan 2007 11:06:02 GMT

Nicole Richie may be facing time due to her recent arrest. This is not the first time Nicole has been given a D.U.I., back in 2002 she pleaded No Contest to Driving Under the Influence. Perez Hilton reports on what could be the outcome for Richie:

A judge would be forced to sentence Richie to jail if convicted on this charge because Nicole's recent arrest is actually her second DUI.

In 2002, she pleaded no contest to Driving Under the Influence.

And, per California state law, a judge must impose a mandatory sentence of five consecutive days in county jail as well as a one year license suspension for anyone twice-convicted of DUI.

Additionally, Nicole would be ordered to attend an alcohol eduction program for a year-and-a-half, even if the second conviction is not alcohol-related.

Richie was given three years probation for her 2002 DUI conviction and had her license suspended for one year. Six months after that incident, she was arrested again - this time for possession of heroin and for driving with a suspended license.

Troubled girl for sure. Goes to show you that fame and money isn't everything is made out to be. Although if I had to take one, I'd take the money and not the fame.

MSNBC reported today that K-Fed was screwing around on Britney with an "actress". See there how I used quotes around actress? Yes, that indicates she was the kind that banged on camera.

Add this to the reasons that Britney Spears had to dump her hubby: Kevin Federline reportedly was having an affair with a former porn star a full month before Spears filed for divorce in November.

Federline met Kendra Jade, an "exotic dancer" and former porn star, in Las Vegas in December 2005 while his wife was visiting her family in Kentwood, Louisiana, according to Star magazine, and the two stayed in touch.

"Kev and Kendra had sex at their friends' apartment multiple times, starting in early October," a source told the tab. "Their friend would phone Kendra and a few other girls to come hang out, and it would always end up with Kevin and Kendra heading off to the spare bedroom!"

Now that K-Fed is a single guy, will he and Jade become a couple? Not likely, says the source, explaining, "They're just friends who have sex."

When contacted for comment by Star, Jade said only, "I'm in a committed relationship."

Didn't all this shit happen in like, the same evening? How many drugs were these bitches doing?

The 'Simple Life' star appeared to put aside her differences with the 21-year-old actress - who she branded 'firecrotch' - after they were spotted enjoying a night out on Monday (27.11.06), with newly single pal Britney Spears. According to gossip website X17online, a source at Los Angeles nightclub Hyde, where they group partied that night, claims Paris told Lindsay: "You're a f**king coked-out whore, don't ever say you're my friend again!" Lindsay was then seen leaving the club in tears. Britney and Paris then went back to the 'Simple Life' star's house to continue their partying where Paris was heard shouting: "Tell Firecrotch she's no longer welcome!"

Remember back when everything was elegant and Bette Davis said things about Joan Crawford like "that feather in her hat, it's sticking out of her brain" and there was the Algonquin Round Table and everyone wore gorgeous tailored outfits, and had an air of sophistication about them? Now we live in savage times when Mystic Tanned junkies get really popular for next to no reason beyond luck or coming from money and we're forced to endure their sluttish antics because the world is a terrifying, doomed place and this is what we're forced to turn to for a distraction.

Johansson's Smoking Upsets Neighbors

Mon, 27 Nov 2006 15:13:57 GMT

22 year old actress Scarlett Johansson has angered her neighbours by chain smoking.

The Lost in Translation star won't open her windows when she lights up and smoke is apparently wafting into the hallways of her apartment block.

Johansson has reportedly turned to the stick to get through a rough patch with boyfriend Josh Hartnett.

One of her neighbours told Life and Style Weekly that when Johansson was approached about the bad habit, she simply replied 'Don't you read the newspaper? I am going through a difficult time'.

Johansson is reportedly reeling over claims that her boyfriend enjoyed a weekend in Sydney with former co-star Amber Sainsbury.
