Hollywood HOs: Rihanna and Chris Brown

Hollywood HOs

Following in the footsteps of shining examples Whitney and Bobby, Rihanna and Chris Brown (what is it with singers with the last name of brown?) are this week's Hollywood HOs winners.  Apparently, getting your face bashed in inspires you to hook up and work with the basher.  Not only are they supposedly back together on the sly (his current girlfriend is Karrueche Tran), but they have collaborated on a new song, "Birthday Cake (Remix)".  It's a charming little ditty with lyrics that would embarrass a sailor on shore leave.  I will not quote them, but you can find them here.  If you have forgotten what the gentleman caller did to his lovely lady, the pictures below can remind you.

                                 He did this....                                    To her...

Sources close to Rihanna and Chris Brown report that their next collaboration will be titled, "Battered Women (They Just Don't Listen!)".  No one but God knows the hearts of men.  Maybe Chris has changed his ways, but I have a bad feeling that this will not end well.

On a lighter note, we have a new Friday feature...  

News of the Funny and Bizarre:

Stories on the web that made me cringe or laugh this week.  With all the crap going on in the world, I hope this lightens you load just a little.

"Dwarf Bullfighting: where human exploitation and animal cruelty come together to play"

Isn't this just a normal weekend at Michael Moore's place?

"Swedish Street Signs Axed Over Perky Breasts"

This from the home of the Swedish Bikini Team?

                Bad                                 Good?

"UFO Phil says he can assume the presidency without a single vote"

Another candidate from Chicago?

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Monday Musings With The Crew

• If you follow sports at all, you have seen the story of Jeremy Lin.  The Asian-American point guard sensation came from nowhere to lead the New York Knicks to a 7 game winning streak.  The streak came to an end in a home loss to the New Orleans Hornets Friday night, in part due to Lin's 9 turnovers.  Here is a screen shot from ESPN.com after the game:

That's right, ESPN's headline after the loss by the Knicks was "Chink in The Armor".  Very nice.  ESPN has fired the employee responsible for the headline, as well as suspending on-air commentator Max Bretos, who used the same phrase in a discussion of Lin.  

• Time to give credit where credit is due.  Supermodel Cindy Crawford has decided to end her 10 year old daughter's budding modeling career, saying "at this point she's too young to pursue a career...".  Kaia Crawford's Versace ad did generate some criticism, including in a recent Monday Musings.  Not only are Cindy's parenting instincts on target, her political ones are as well.  After supporting Barack Obama in 2008, Crawford has gone on record as having switched party affiliations to the GOP and has endorsed Mitt Romney in the Republican primary.  

• Not to be outdone by Ms. Crawford.....Sir Paul McCartney revealed in a recent Rolling Stone interview that he has given up smoking pot at age 69 in order to be a better example for his 8 year old daughter.  McCartney is quoted as saying "When you're bringing up a youngster, your sense of responsibility does kick in, if you're lucky, at some point"  Gee Paul, ya think?  

• Interesting political tidbit from Germany last week.  German President Christian Wulff resigned on Friday, after being embroiled in a series of scandals.  Included in those were charges that Wulff's frequent holidays were paid for by businessmen, that he had received favorable loans because of his position, and that he had criticized media outlets that were reporting on his actions.  Hmmm, does that sound familiar to anybody else?  
• Lavish vacations paid for by others.....check
• Favorable loan terms unavailable to others.....check
• Attacking media that criticizes his actions....check

               Oh yeah, now I remember.....this guy does that kind of stuff all the time

• New Jersey Governor Chris Christie ordered flags throughout the state flown at half-staff this weekend during Whitney Houston's funeral service.  There are many things I love about Chris Christie.  This was not one of them.  In a related story, a cocaine addict was found dead from overdose in a Newark alleyway over the weekend.  The B-2 flyover is scheduled for tomorrow.

Monday Musings With The Crew

• The most important thing we learned during last week's contraceptive kerfluffle is that the Obama Administration, like SACSTW, is in possession of a time machine.  Dear Leader fired that sucker up last week and gave us all a glimpse of what government healthcare will look like in our near future.  Federal interventionism is going to reach stratospheric new heights under Obamacare, and forcing religious entities to violate their own tenets is just the beginning.  Who knows, maybe even as we speak Obama is making plans to force mosques in America to serve pulled pork sandwiches on plates emblazoned with a likeness of Muhammad.  Yeah, probably not. 

• For all of us Star Trek fans out there, one of the great mysteries of life is how super-villain Khan rose to power on Earth.  You know, before he was banished to Ceti Alpha V by Captain Kirk.......

Well, now we know.  Khan got his start as Barack Obama's Health and Human Services Secretary...

Huh, I thought a Prince of the Eugenics Wars would be taller.

• Oklahoma State Senate bill 1433 seeks to define human life as beginning at the moment of conception. Predictably, this has pro-abortion progressives all abuzz..  An article by Jessica Pieklo at www.care2.com said this...."Like all other personhood measures, this one would afford that homeless cluster of cells full and equal rights under the law".  The Crew would humbly ask Ms. (i'm guessing) Pieklo exactly when that "homeless cluster of cells" becomes human life in her learned opinion.  The best part of this story is a proposed amendment to 1433.  Known as the "Every Sperm is Sacred" amendment, it reads "Any action in which a man ejaculates or otherwise deposits semen anywhere but in a women's vagina shall be construed as an action against an unborn child".  The amendment was proposed by pro-abortion Democratic State Senator Constance......(wait for it)........Johnson!  Look people, I can not make this stuff up.  Fortunately, the Johnson amendment was prematurely withdrawn before further action was needed.  I'm sure all the voters of Oklahoma are so proud.  

• Of course the big news over the weekend was the death of Whitney Houston at 48 years of age.  A monumental talent, Houston's life was derailed by a long history of poor decisions.  Her death is an opportunity for parents to teach their children the consequences of bad decisions, and of surrounding yourself with those that make bad decisions.  Rather than dwell on the sordid circumstances surrounding Houston's demise, I'd rather just leave you with this memory of her finest moment.....
