In the British press, they were saying he was in top form and raring to go but he looks everything BUT healthy to me. His skin looks rubbery and he is anorexic-looking and very frail. Shocking details about his autopsy was leaked yesterday. Apparently, his body was a complete mess. For a man of 510, he weighed a very anorexic 8 stone. He had reportedly lost most of his hair and was very skeletal with bruises, broken ribs, scars from his plastic surgery and needle wounds from his drug use. The bruising and broken ribs are the result of his doctor frantically trying to get his pulse back with CPR. Also, they reported that he probably hadnt eaten anything in 11 hours at the time of his death. All that was found in his stomach was dissolving pills. Anyway, Im just typing what I remember reading in The Sun. Um, I know they are notorious for not being that credible but they were right about the skin cancer so who knows? The family ordered and paid for a second post-mortem which has now been completed. We wont know the REAL results of his death until the toxicology reports come out in 6 to 8 weeks but the Jackson family are adamant that someone is going to pay for his untimely passing last Thursday.
As for the 800,000-plus tickets sold, AEG promoters didnt really want to lose all that money and were looking to turn the concerts into a star-studded tribute with Janet Jackson and her brothers leading it. There were also talks about using a highly technical state of the art MJ to give off this digital but realistic illusion that he is there performing.

This is really crazy- Dont you always want to know why and how those Germans "agreed " to go along with killing all the jews?
Believe it or not, the same thing is in most of you! ( NOT ME because my eyes are open, I study the shit out of this stuff, and Im too smart to be gully.. This video is real-it was meant as a experiment in school- and everyone was taught a SCARY lesson.
The Third Wave was the name given by history teacher Ron Jones to an experimental recreation of Nazi Germany which he conducted with high school students. The experiment took place at Cubberley High School in Palo Alto, California, during one week in 1969[1]. Jones, unable to explain to his students why the German citizens (particularly non-Nazis) allowed the Nazi Party to exterminate millions of Jews and other so-called 'undesirables', decided to show them instead. Jones writes that he started with simple things like classroom discipline, and managed to meld his history class into a group with a supreme sense of purpose and no small amount of cliquishness. Jones named the movement "The Third Wave," after the common wisdom that the third in a series of ocean waves is always the strongest, and claimed its members would revolutionize the world. The experiment allegedly took on a life of its own, with students from all over the school joining in;

The Emmys are a big event in the celebrity world! I cannot wait to see the looks on the red carpet, but most importantly the dresses that Lauren Conrad is designing for the women handing out awards during the ceremony! While I love Laurens line, it is a bit over priced especially for its simplicity and fabric. If she is going to do simple pieces, Lauren should spice it up with quality fabric and materials. The thing that I do love about Laurens line is that she herself wears her designs and the clothes reflect her personal style. She recently designed they beautiful dress she wore to the Teen Choice Awards. None the less I am excited to see what Lauren can come up with for evening gowns!

Why is her friend blabbing to a down-marketed UK tabloid? Im not surprised she may have fled to Hawaii in shame and not back to her Native Barbados where she has to face her family. I think I would die if my own mother were to see those type of pictures. Her body is absolutely amazing and judging by her scantily clad photoshoots like the one above, she sure as hell knows it. However, these personalised photos were private and she clearly didnt want them put on front street. I think its crazy that she spent the past week OWNING New York with her simultaneous fashion appearances, and then on day 5, BAM! Nude photos! And an implosive comeback now ruined. I did predict last week in a previous post that the singer will now go back into hiding.
Island Def Jam Music Group has also been sending out letters to several blogs who published the photos. The letter refers to unauthorized photos purported to be Rihanna and demanding that the photos be removed calling it a violation of the Artist’s rights.

Doctors of Pop Culture are two sisters from Southern California whose love for pop culture is unparalleled. While others are reading The Economist and Time magazine, the doctors are devouring everything thats trivial and unimportant in the world. Both doctors are political scientists, but if a degree existed in pop culture, they surely would be worthy of it and could write their dissertations on it in record time. They have enjoyed countless hours reading US Weekly, People, Intouch, Star and occasionally even (gasp) The National Enquirer. Though both girls should be studying more scholarly material, their true passion is discussing pop culture. Would you rather talk about how the dollar is diminishing in value next to the euro or whether Katie Holmes has been abducted by an alien named Tom Cruise.

“People assume that just cause they see us together that something is going on, but the only thing that is, is him giving me hits. And I read all the blogs and they like to use the term “f’ucking for tracks” and that’s not the type of girl I am. Keep that very clear. I’m a very personable person. I have a lot of respect for them and I thank God for them coming into my life cause they don’t have to work on projects like mine”.

Janice Min, the editor-in-chief of Us Weekly is the first tabloid editor to jump on the hottest story of the week. She has given the Chris Brown and Rihanna domestic dispute story a full cover. Many of Us Weeklys audience consists of an avid female readership who can emotionally connect with Rihanna and the catastrophic battery and abuse that she ‘allegedly’ suffered at the hands of boyfriend Chris.
The massive headline ‘Fear Abuse’ expresses the story in a quick, wayward fashion to draw in the reader. It clearly depicts the basis of what the story is about even before the reader entertains the article, and therefore, making it a must-buy issue. It is certainly a smart ploy because its an everyday issue outside of the usual tabloid fodder of who is dating who, plastic surgery and red carpet events. Though, stories on HOW Rihanna was attacked and the injuries inflicted during the attack keep changing on a daily basis, making them more unfounded than the previous.
Weve had stories coming in that Chris threatened to kill her and that her face was badly bruised. It was then reported that she encountered a broken jaw, bloody nose and split lip. Then it was reported that the singer had visible bite marks on her face and fingers, contusions on her head, black eyes and broken teeth due to the impact of being punched in the mouth. Then the newest story is that Chris choked her until she lost all consciousness. Lastly, it was then suggested that Rihannas eyes were so swollen and bruised, she couldnt even open them for pictures. It seems the media had a field day with this story sensationalising it just to add some juiciness to their readership. When the news first broke out I was really annoyed with Chris. I was torn because I was fans of both but my sympathy was leaning more towards Rihanna. Now its getting to a point where Im starting to feel really bad for him.
I am pretty certain all these newly added injuries on a daily basis are a crock of bullshit, but whats even more strange is that no one in Chriss camp has put out an official statement. No clear-ups. No denials. No defence. No nothing. Even his idol Michael Jackson put out a personal video statement declaring his innocence. Every new slanderous word that gets reported without some sort of defence mechanism is just hurting him more and more because the story is VERY one-sided. Many TV and radio stations are pulling his music from the airwaves due to mounting pressure from the public. He has already lost two major endorsements (Wrigleys Gum and Got Milk campaigns) and hes about to lose so much more. The question lies in why his camp and attorneys refuse to exercise damage control. I find that rather baffling. Do they not want to save this boys career?
The story now is that Chris recieved a text message from another woman wanting to hook-up with him later that night which prompted the fight. Even if Rihanna got into a fit of rage and put her hand on him first (and unfortunately ended up worse off), at least it could be said that he acted in self defence and that none of this mess would have happened had Rihanna kept her composure. Even if his goody two shoes image is destroyed, at least the condemnation of him being an alleged woman beater would be somewhat lifted. Chris isnt known to be violent towards women, so its highly likely that something caused him to snap. If Rihanna DID hit him first, he actually has a case, but that would mean, in court, hed have to rebuke her claims.
Maybe they are waiting for the truth to come out in court next month but if so, they are taking one hell of a gamble, since we have weeks left. Chris Browns career lays in further ruin as each passing day goes by. The singer only came onto the scene in 2005 and hasnt even peaked in his career yet. Even legends like his idol couldnt recover from the repercussion of what they were accused of. Janet Jacksons career never did recover from the Superbowl fiasco and whilst Justin Timberlakes career went from strength to strength, Janet has always struggled to pick herself back up again. I now feel Rihannas career will practically sour as the sympathy contineously builds. Journalists will be more determined to get that all-important first interview. Papparazzi will be desperate to get her first candid photo since the incident. Folks will be anticipating her next record. In the aftermath of it all, she is set to become a superstar. So the only question I have is, can Chris recover from such a castastrophic situation? If this does kill his career, it would be such a shame because he had so much potential.

My passion has been art for as long as I can remember. With my art I strive for one main goal, and that is to stir the emotions from those who view it. I admire subtlety and believe that as much can be said through it as exaggeration. I love writing. I dont think I am that good of a writer but I do know how to tell a good story. (Damn! It. Okay, at least I try) I recently finished my education as a graphic designer. Now I am trying to make the magic work.And YES its not that easy. I have always enjoyed the work in art and design I still get surprised of how much you can run with one idea. I see an image of how my ideas can develop which makes me enthusiastic and excited of the possibilities, which has directed me to take art and design further.
This blogging is supposed to be a new hobby I am discovering. At least I can share my stories with someone when I feel like it on my blog. I will blog about anything or nothing. Lots of Design, Graphic Design, Colors, Typography, Photography, Style, Art, Trends, Fashion, Inspiration,Travel, Adventure, Cultures, People, Food, Languages, Interesting Books,Hints and Tipsand my opinions. Plus it will probably have a lot of illustrations and Photos. This is something to keep me sensible as I feel my life is in transition. After years of learning process about graphic design, I became addicted to my Mac. I kept researching about all Mac products and what they can do.There wasn't a day that I didn't learn a couple of the new things from it.Today, All My Mac Rocked !!!.I am on the top of Mount Everest; out on the beach of the lost island, walk crossing the Sahara desertor right here in the Göteborg city.I can take my work everywhere with me.
Damn, I love my life!!.

Eminem is a happier person nowadays. Within the last year, I started learning how to not be so angry about things, learning how to count my fucking blessings instead, he told Esquire magazine. By doing that, Ive become a happier person, instead of all this self-loathing I was doing for a while. Eminem says that with new album will have more upbeat songs saying The music, I wouldnt say its gotten happier, but its definitely more upbeat. I feel like myself again. All of you angry blonde fans dont worry, Em says he still has a lot to be pissed at t get me wrong, the aggression will still be there,
Eminems will feature production by Dr Dre and is set to hit stores early next year.

2008 was one hellauva a year in music, culture and overall history. We witnessed history in the making with the election of our first black president, Barack Obama. Lil Wayne knocked all the nay-sayers and pulled in A Milli in a 1st week sales. Jay-Z and Beyonce finally got married and Bey admitted it. Britney Spears ended her spiral downward and made an ultimate comeback. Rappers continued to get chain snatched. With all the happy times came tragedy like Bernie Mac, Jennifer Hudsons family, Shakir Stewart, Issac Hayes to even Heath Ledger. And lets not forget Kanyes blog rants and numerous scrapping with the pap.
