Media queen Oprah Winfrey Accused Of Cheating Handicapped Man For A Black Woman

Oprah Winfrey, is probably happy that she's retiring her show and dipping
out of the limelight soon. The tide is SO turning against her celebrity. Oprah Winfrey is under the gun for allegedly rigging a reality web series against a handicapped man with cerebral palsy.

According to his version of the story, Jack Anner was the clear leader of a
group of TV host contenders with over 6.9 million votes. Meanwhile, another contestant, named Phyllis, jumped out of the blue and overtook Jack Anner
with seemingly no rhyme or reason to her rise to popularity.

According to one story, Phyllis garnered over 300,000 votes in under 20 minutes. So now, instead of someone claiming that Oprah Winfrey is the victim of some hacker or another, they're accusing Oprah of rigging the votes in support of a black woman.

Paris Whitney Hilton's Buddy Jennifer Rovero Ordered to Leave South Africa

Paris Hilton was arrested along with Rovero after Friday's Brazil-Netherlands
match in Port Elizabeth on suspicion of possession of marijuana. Hilton appeared in a special FIFA World Cup court around midnight local time. Police said Hilton and Rovero were taken into custody after officers could smell whiffs of cannabis coming from their direction, while they were outside the stadium.

Neither she nor court officials said anything and she was quickly led away to another room, according to an Associated Press reporter in court. Rovero was sentenced to a fine of 1,000 rand ($130) or 30 days imprisonment, De Beer said. A spokesman for the immigration department, said Saturday that Jennifer Rovero had two weeks to leave the country, and would not be welcome back for at least two years.

"Hey guys, there's a lot of crazy rumors going around. Just want you all to know the truth. Everything is completely fine. I was not charged or arrested, cause I didn't do anything." - Hilton wrote on Twitter later.

John Cena Criticism

The John Cena Criticismy Is Unfair, Batista On the Other Hand...!!!
By Chad Robinson

I am absolutely sick of people criticizing John Cena. The guy is great on the mic, I don't see how some say he isn't. I also believe even though his move set is limited, it is enough to stage a decent match.

Obviously, I don't like the fact he is a face who acts like a tool. However, that is not Cenas fault he does what Vince and the WWE tell him to do. It is his job.

One thing I am happy about is the criticism of Batista, as I have always said he is hopeless.

He has some of the worst mic skills Ive seen from a Champion in a long time. He is prone to injury and if you think Cena has a limited moveset have a look at Batista.

Wesley Snipes' lawyers want to adjust appeal request after ex-adviser's arrest

Wesley Snipes has been asking for his conviction to be overturned.

Now his attorneys want a new trial based on Snipes's former financial
adviser's arrest.

Wesley Snipes' lawyers have asked an Atlanta court to review his tax
evasion case again and allow the charges to be dismissed or for him to be
granted a new trial amid the arrest of his former financial adviser
Kenneth Starr, who they say had been under investigation for his own tax violations when he testified against Snipes in 2008.

Starr, who has pleaded not guilty, was charged in May with securities
fraud worth $59 million. Snipes' lawyers say the charges against Starr
"revealed new evidence pointing to a miscarriage of justice at Mr. Snipes' trial." Defense attorneys say an investigation would damage Starr's credibility.

The Blade actor was convicted in 2008 of three misdemeanor counts of
willful failure to file his income tax returns and given a three-year-prison sentence. Prosecutors said Snipes made at least $13.8 million over three
years and owed $2.7 million in back taxes that he refused to pay. The actor
has apologized, saying he was "unschooled in the science of law and
finance". Snipes is free on bail and his lawyers have already appealed his
case but want a new appeal issued following Starr's arrest.

Playing profile of American professional basketball player King James'

LeBron Raymone James (Nicknamed "King James") is an American professional basketball player for the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

King James has established himself as a legitimate triple-double threat
andhas averaged 27.8 points, 7.0 assists and 7.0 rebounds per game for his
careerin the regular season. As of the 2009–10 season, he has recorded 34
triple-doubles in his career, with 28 in the regular season and six in the postseason. On offense, he is known for using his size, strength and
quicknessto get past defenders, especially in transition, and for absorbing
contact while finishing at the basket, with a variety of dunks and skillful
lay-ups. In the 2005–06 season, he led the league in completed traditional
three point plays.

King James is a solid rebounder who regularly ranks among the league
leadersin rebounds for the small forward position. His most impressive
skill however, is perhaps his ability to facilitate and create offense for his teammates, most notably out of double-team situations. He has a remarkable average of 7.0 assists per game for his career, unheard of for a player of his
size. His skills have led to many comparisons to NBA legends Oscar
Robertson, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan. James was not named to
the NBA All-Defensive Team until the 2008–09 season, when he finished
second in voting for Defensive Player of the Year.

King James is a potent wing defender, and amongst the elite help defenders
in the NBA. His ability to make chase-down blocks, especially off opposing fastbreaks, has become a staple of his defensive game. On March 1, 2010,
James filed an application to the NBA to wear the no - 6 starting the
2010/2011 season. He started a petition saying that no one should be allowed
to wear the no - 23 in the NBA to honor Michael Jordan. It will be the first
time James will not be wearing the no - 23 since his freshman year in high
school, when a senior on his team wore it.

Gwyneth Kate Paltrow is in early stages of brittle bone disease - Osteoporosis

HOLLYWOOD actress Gwyneth Paltrow is one of the most health conscious
celebs, but is suffering from a brittle bone disease Osteoporosis which
typically effects older women. Gwyneth Paltrow was diagnosed with the
disease after she broke her leg. The 37 year old actress is known for her
extreme health regimes and the punishing diets may have led to her being diagnosed with the condition, reported Daily Mail online.

“My doctors tested my vitamin D levels, which turned out to be the lowest
thing they had ever seen (not a good thing)” Paltrow writes on her Internet
newsletter Goop. She said she was put on prescription strength vitamin D
and told to spend more time in the sun.

Osteoporosis can be triggered by a lack of calcium and excessive exercise.
She has followed a macrobiotic diet which is popular among celebrities for
11 years and exercises up to three hours a day.

Some nutritionists believe her diet was also to blame for her brittle bone
problem. "A macrobiotic diet is often lower in protein than a diet that
includes dairy foods and meat so if she's doing a lot of exercise but not
getting enough protein, she's not getting enough to build her bones either"
Sydney nutritionist Sharon Natoli said.

a lullaby, 'Kramer's Song' which is included on a CD in the book. The book
reached - 5 on The New York Times Children's Best Sellers : Picture Books
list for the week of June 8, 2008.

Peters second children's book is the story of a pit bull, Stella, named after
Peters' pit bull. The character would rather be a pig ballerina, but she learns
to accept herself. The book titled 'Stella is a Star', includes a CD with an
original song written and performed by Peters and was released in April 2010
by Blue Apple Books.

According to Publisher's Weekly, "Turning the pages to Peters' spirited
narration, which is provided in an accompanying CD, makes for a more
rewarding reading experience. The story and disc end with a sneakily
affecting self-esteem anthem, which, like the familiar tale itself, is buoyed by
the author's lovely vocals." Peters introduced the book at a reading and
signing where she also sang part of the song, at the L.A. Times Festival of
Books, Los Angeles, California, on April 24, 2010.

Bernadette Peters sings four songs on the CD accompanying the 2005
