Hip-Hop Rumors: Lauryn Hill Had Her Baby? Timbaland The Slave?
OUCH! I don't know if 50 is like me and remembers Paris using the N-Word, but I heard that he dissed the crap out of the heiress. Read the AHH Report right here!
Here is what Page Six said about the whole ordeal. They were there. During his performance at the Paris Hilton-hosted pre-Super Bowl party for 944 magazine last night, 50 Cent gave a shout out to Paris, who then started singing in the front row. Paris and 50 are good friends. When the princess decided to get onstage and dance, the hip-hopper's crew and stagehands quickly instructed her to "Get the f**k off the stage." She started to cry and tried to plead with the party's production staff to let her dance, whining, "But it's my party!" Nobody cares if it's your party.
Sino-Blizzard 08: The ice factor
In my last post I jested that China's recent snow trouble was nothing like what we face back where I'm from. And while that may be true, there is one aspect of China's dilemma that resembles what we faced back in Canada. For us, it wasn't so much the snow that caused the problems as it was the ice. When ice covers transmission towers, it can potentially bend them to the ground as if they were made of straw: This youku.com video, which graced their front page today, shows that China is, indeed, facing the same icy problem. Scaling and repairing icy transmission towers likely was not a big part of the workers' training, I'm sure. Let's hope it's covered somewhere in their manual. For a comprehensive look at China's snow woes, drop on over to All roads lead to China, where he points out that the problem runs far deeper than simply an uber-crowded train station.
Little touches to make a big difference for moms in need
Here's what moms say has been most appreciated. A sympathetic ear "The best emotional support I received was from friends who really let me talk about how I was feeling," says Cathy O'Shaughnessy, a Glenview, Illinois, mom whose son Kyle, 8, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was 2. "No matter how sad or angry I was on any given day, they didn't act uncomfortable or judgmental. Talking to them helped me reach a point of acceptance about Kyle's illness, which in turn helped me get proactive about his care." Just listening to a friend is especially important when the crisis affects more than one parent, and each one is trying to be strong for the other. To be a good listener: .
2008 Toyota Land Cruiser - Cruisin' 'Bruknail'
The Toyota Land Cruiser is one of the premier 4x4 vehicles around. Toyota Jamaica brought one to the ADA motor show last year and we were eager to get our hands on it. So when we heard that they were having a test day on a remote area in off-road conditions two Saturdays ago, we jumped at the chance. The place was Greenwich Farm, Newcastle, and the track was a precipitous trail called BRUCKNAIL that was used as a route for carrying produce on four-legged animals. Two strapping journalists were about to button themselves into this 'voluminous' vehicle. Actually, there was more on offer; the public was invited as well, with a Hilux Vigo, RAV4, Prado and two models of the Cruiser ('07 and '08) to be sampled. The upstart Terios was there too. Getting there was half the fun; the climb through the Blue Mountains from Papine really reminds one of how beautiful this country is.
Eyes on the prize
More encouraging for him is a poll in that morning's Times which shows, less than two weeks to go, that his party is still ahead. It was this time four years ago, I remind him, that polls began to show the SNP's support falling over a cliff. "Believe me," he asserts. "If this campaign continues - with the positive SNP campaign on the one hand and the anti-SNP Labour campaign on the other, then we will win, because it's about the SNP." Victory must feel tantalisingly close, I suggest. "It is a big effort to keep yourself calm, cool and collected. This is unchartered territory," Salmond responds. One of his closest allies had admitted to me the previous week that being ahead in a campaign was "terrifying". After all, recent political history is littered with the corpses of front-runners who have suddenly slumped as they enter the final straight as, beneath the veneer of statesmanship, the public senses the unappealing view of a party hack.
