That Bear grills has been sacked from the Discovery Ch due to contractual disagreements , to be fair i don't like it so i'm not fussed but a lot of people are going to be crying them selves to sleep tonight

I took my fully grown German Shepherd to the vets today because his eyes were cross eyed. The vet picked him up, had a look at his eyes, tongue and his coat and said "I'm going to have to put him down". I replied "WHY?? Because he's cross eyed??!?". He said "No, because he's too heavy"

Scarlett opens up about leaked pics

Scarlett Johansson has told how she felt "violated" after nude pictures were leaked online.

This amuses me for a few reasons

1. why keep them on a phone that syncs.
2. she's a celeb (hottie).. so an obvious target.
3. why keep em on a phone... use a camera and dont put it near a pc lol..

To me she is either stupid to think they wont be accessible on an internet enabled phone to those who are really dedicated ...or she was aware of the chance and hoping they would get out... seeking the limelight..

either way...I love google search!!

Dont get me wrong i feel the papperazzi should be strung up and everyone is entitled to privacy...but if you live in the limelight ..dont complain when it bites you !
