 <title>Fug Girls: We Miss Posh’s Lady Lumps</title>
 <link>http://what-celebrities-do-lately.popsugar.com/Fug-Girls-We-Miss-Poshs-Lady-Lumps-3965366</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://what-celebrities-do-lately.popsugar.com/Fug-Girls-We-Miss-Poshs-Lady-Lumps-3965366&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=160 height=107  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl2/45/457598/33_2009/1d6051a4a34d5624_20090730_poshthroughtheages_560x375.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;SPAN class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Picture Victoria &quot;Posh Spice&quot; Beckham. Ten bucks says your mental sketch includes the following: a crabby expression, enough bronzer to paint all of Beckham Manor, and two breast implants as distracting and disproportionate as golf balls on a toothpick. These are the three (well, technically four) key components to her outsize, indelible public image. So not only were we shocked when Vicky was rumored to have had her silicone flotation devices yanked, but, in the ensuing weeks, we&#039;ve struggled to come to terms with her new streamlined silhouette. In a way, by losing those ten pounds of chemical mammary, Lady B has jettisoned something even bigger: her essential Poshness. And frankly, what we want - what we really, really want - is to have it back. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We never imagined treasuring fond memories of someone else’s man-made landscaping, but, just like a guy in a bad chick flick, we didn&#039;t know what we had until it was gone. Unlike with, say, Pamela Anderson, Victoria Beckham’s persona wasn&#039;t defined by her gazongas, but it was at least partly indebted to them. As a Spice Girl, Posh got away with merely pouting, because her prescribed trait was snootiness; as Mrs. Beckham, she was a famous man&#039;s failed-solo-artist wife with no discernible talents except zipping up her dresses. Forced to socialize with other WAGs - wives and girlfriends - who shared this non-skill-set, our girl Vicks made sure a larger-than-life image kept her above the pack. Her notorious, unholy cleavage played a vital part, because she made darn sure it was as hard to miss as the woman herself. It worked: Being Victoria Beckham became a career of its own - it takes a lot of work to find sunglasses whose lenses are larger than one&#039;s fake boobs - and she made it look fun. On Posh&#039;s list of commandments, etched into stone tablets by a press-on nail, we&#039;re pretty sure &quot;Thou Shalt Not Be Ordinary&quot; was at the top of the list, perhaps right under &quot;Thou Shalt Not Smile, for Thy Face Might Look Fat.&quot; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&#039;s why her streamlining her spice cupboard, so to speak, sits oddly with us. The lost boobs themselves don&#039;t bum us out as much as what the loss represents: that a diva who wore thigh-high boots without heels and sat on a red-velvet throne at her wedding now thinks she needs to look more like everybody else. Yes, we get that ginormous plastic knockers don&#039;t gel with her new vision of herself as a Very Respectable Designer - but on the other hand, nobody here was born yesterday, so exactly whom is this reduction supposed to fool? And sure, we understand wanting clothes to fit more sleekly on her figure, but her chest never stopped her from getting her talons on seriously pricey couture before. Actually, one could contend, her old body did those clothes a favor, because it made it impossible not to stare at them. Often with a furrowed brow, true, but that beats indifference. So, from the Beckham, Inc., standpoint, realizing those were bad implants and dumping them is almost less self-aware than leaving them in and flaunting them. Because, while detractors may claim that Victoria&#039;s faux figure and glaringly obvious taste turned fashion into trashion, let&#039;s face it: Love her or hate her, she&#039;s consistently entertaining at major events, if only owing to the massive probability she&#039;ll flash the goods in a horribly awesome way. Now, having rejected her infamously cartoonish proportions, we&#039;re afraid Posh will feel increasingly compelled to blend in to the crowd and will ditch the corsets and spangled hot pants, too. And then where will we find our bliss?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In fact, jettisoning the boobs is kind of mean, considering 2009 has been full of heartbreak already. We can’t handle mourning both Michael Jackson and Posh&#039;s trashtacular image at the same time. If excising the rack truly does yield a downward spiral wherein she rejects outlandish outfits in favor of turtlenecks and khakis, we may have to quit - or at least lie down for a really long time. Because if there&#039;s one thing we thought would warm our souls forever, it was the enduring, endearing plasticity of Posh. Here&#039;s hoping she is simply down two implants, but not out.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Video Games I LOVE  (long blog)</title>
 <link>http://intelligence-and-fun.buzzsugar.com/Video-Games-I-LOVE-long-blog-3024387</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://intelligence-and-fun.buzzsugar.com/Video-Games-I-LOVE-long-blog-3024387&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;I love video games, they take me into a fantasy world to get away from everyday problems. To me, its like a book, you go on a journey and you have control over your character. All of these games are on PlayStation 2. i am a PlayStation fan, always been ever since it first came out. I will be a PlayStation fan until the end of time. Some of these games have an M rating standing for mature. Also, some of these video games are VERY violent and even though I do not condone violence in the real world and I would not let a child play some of these, I feel that as long as you have a healthy mind you can handle some of these stories that are placed in video games. I am not going to feel sorry for liking violent video games because that is who I am. I also know that I would never do these acts in the real world, but it is fun to pretend at times. With that said, on to the video games.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. The Dog Island - You are a dog, which you can pick your breed, and you have to either save your brother or sister from a rare disease. It is sort of like a Sims game, where you run around, talk to people, sniff things, and try to make your way through worlds in search of various items. I think this game is a blast and it is appropriate for all ages, or at least people who can accept the fact that there is life and death. It is not an overly hard game to play it is quite easy, but can be very time consuming.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. X-Men Legends and X-Men Rise of Apocalypse - I am a fan of the X-Men and with various women characters you can play, I think these are very good games. You just pick four different characters from a list, go to different worlds and beat up the bad guys. You destroy objects to get goodies and solve puzzles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Spyro - I love all the Spyro games except for maybe the last two. Most of the Spyro games you play as a little purple dragon named Spyro with your sidekick Sparx the Dragonfly. You go to different worlds and pick up gems, defeat bad guys, and do mini games to save the world. Now, in the last two Spyro games, you don&#039;t find gems, you just go around and beat the bad guys. In and of itself they are not bad games, but don&#039;t compare them to the other Spyro games. I really enjoyed running around and collecting gems. Sparx is a comedian that makes the game fun and some of the graphics are amazing. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. Final Fantasy X - I fell in love with this game the first time I played it. You control Tidus who get sucked into another world and you have to help Yuna and her guardians to defeat Sin and save the world. For half the game, you know that Tidas and Yuna have the hots for each other and you can feel the tension. Finally, about the middle of the game, there is a wonderful love scene that is just beautiful. Yuna is concerned with her abilities in able to defeat Sin and Tidus is upset because Yuna has to sacrifice her life in order to defeat sin. They are in a pond with fireflies around them lighting up their faces and they are talking. Finally, the music kicks in and he kisses her. Then I am guessing they make love because you see them kind of falling in the water and making the love motions only fully clothed. I love that scene. The ending is sad though, but other then that, the game is wonderful.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5. Final Fantasy X-2 - You control Yuna, Paine, and Rikku looking for treasure and beating the bad guys. Plus Yuna is searching for Tidus. I love this game because the characters are all female, plus you have various outfits to wear to power them up and do different things. I think this is one of the best games there is. Plus they make reference to Charlie&#039;s Angels in it a lot, you know, three women posing and kicking butt. This is a must for anyone who likes playing video games. There are multiple endings, the sucky one (which is really bad and depressing), the medium (which to me still sucks), and the good ending (which is OK but I was hoping for something else). &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6. God Of War 1 &amp;amp; 2 - I know this usually is more of a man&#039;s game, but I like it because it is violent and bloody. You play Kratos, a man who kills his family accidentally and feels bad and then eventually becomes the God of War and then gets bumped off of his throne so he goes after the other Gods for revenge. It can be frustrating at times, but I think it is filled with action and the endings aren&#039;t too bad at all. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;7. Devil May Cry 1 and 3 - I didn&#039;t include 2 in here because it wasn&#039;t my favorite compared with one and two. You play as Dante, who is part devil and part human. You basically go and save the world from the bad devils. I like these games because it is full of action and I also think Dante is just too hot. I mean, some of the graphics are so good he looks like a real man and if you beat the games you can play as him without his shirt on, I mean....damn. LOL.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;8. Sims Series - I like all of the games in the Sims series. You get to make your own person and you go through life. In Sims Cataway, you get stranded on a deserted island and you have to make your way off the island. Now the puzzles on that game can be confusing at times, but you can talk to monkey&#039;s so, that makes it better. I also like Sims 2 Pets, not only do you create your own person, you get to have animals that you interact with. I mean, how cute is that? Cats are easier to take care of, but you have to get a dog to. You can also buy a whole bunch of stuff for your animals to open up more stuff. I don&#039;t think there is an actual ending to Sims 2 Pets, just something to play for fun.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;9. Lego Series (batman, Indiana Jones, and Star Wars) - I love playing with Lego&#039;s. These games are fun and for all ages because when you die, you just assemble yourself and continue on. You can play with different characters and collect items, and it can be addicting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;10. Marvel Ultimate Alliance - I LOVE this game, you get to pick four Marvel heroes and go kick the crap out of bad guys. This is really similar to the X-Men games, but I find this one better because you can play as Elecktra in it and if you get her maxed out on stats she is the best player in the game!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;11. Playboy Mansion - I know, I know, but just hear me out. Yes, you get to see cartoon fake boobs in the game, and you play as Hugh Hefner. But this is a Sim&#039;s game. You get to build your empire from scratch. Not only do you throw parties, but you get to interact with people and you get to take the centerfold picture and there are options for clothing on there. But you also get to have sex, which basically shows a topless woman on top of you jumping up and down moaning, which is just too funny to watch. But it also raises your mood and you can get the woman to pose for you to make money then. It is actually a pretty hard game because there is a lot of things to do and to keep up on. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;12. Justice League Heroes - as you can tell, I have a theme here, but I like this one as well, kind of like the X-Men and marvel games. You get to play as different characters but the game chooses which two characters you can play as. It is not a bad game and there are some funny lines in it. Superman makes fun of Batman in it and I laughed so hard I thought I was going to pee myself. Overall a great game.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;13. Mortal Kombat - I like all the Mortal Kombat games, my favorite character is Sindel or Frost. It seems I can kick some butt with those two. You just basically go head to head with someone else, beat the crap out of them and then get to see the ending. Some of them are pretty graphic, but that&#039;s the point of the game I think.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;14. Star Wars Battlefield 1 and 2 - I didn&#039;t think I would like these games, but they kick butt. I mean you can play as a wookie or one of those robots that can roll up into a ball and then shoot things. I am actually pretty good at these games and its fun playing with someone because then you can scare each other. LOL.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;15. Big Mutha Truckers 1 &amp;amp; 2 - Yes, this is a true redneck game, but I like car games. You pick a character (i always pick the girl) and you drive from place to place, buy things and deliver them to other places to make money. Whoever makes the most money after a certain number of days get to take over their mom&#039;s truck company. You do a lot of driving, but I think the games are really fun. Plus some of the conversations you get to have are just to funny. Oh and of course you drive a big rig.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;16. Dark Cloud 1 and 2 - You play as a kid who has to find pieces of towns and put them back together. This is sort of hard to explain, but its kind of like an action Sims game. You beat the crap out of bad guys but then you also have to put different towns back together the way they were by reading clues. Trust me, its fun.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;17. Dog&#039;s Life - You play as a dog who has to rescue his girlfriend and save the day. You run around and sniff things, interact with people and other animals, find goodies, all in all a VERY cute game. I love this game. The game really makes you believe that you are a dog. The whole time you have to stay away from the dog catcher and some of the mini games are a little hard, but I think its worth it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;18. Spiderman - the reason why I like this game is because you can climb up on the tallest building and jump off. My stomach flips every time I do it because I actually feel like I am falling. The point of the game though is to complete the actual story mission, side missions, and find different tokens to get 100% completion. The game itself isn&#039;t too hard, some of the side missions are horrible, but I just like jumping off the buildings, tee hee.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;19. Grand Theft Auto Series - I like these games because you can steal cars, beat people up, pick up hookers, and just run around like an idiot. Yes, this series is very violent and I wouldn&#039;t do this in real life, but I enjoy playing it. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;20. Harvest Moon - there is a couple of games in the series. in some of them you try to get a wife while you take care of a farm and fish. You plant your own crops, build your own house, take care of a dog, horse, sheep, and cows. Plus interacting with the town folk so you can get on their good side. The whole point is to make sure you do a good job to either save the town or just be a good farmer. This is a very time consuming game which I recommend getting a walk-through. After you get the basics down and understand what you are doing, it is a very fun game. But there is a lot of information to obtain and memorize, so not only is it like a Sims game, you have to use your brain. A very good game to enhance your brain skills. Recommended for everyone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;21. Kingdom hearts 1 and 2 - You play as Sora who have to defeat the heartless of different Disney worlds with your sidekicks Donald and Goofy. You get to play in different worlds such as Tarzan, Nightmare before Christmas, meet the Disney princesses and save the world. It is a very cute game and I love playing both of them. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;22. Jaws - I love this game because you are Jaws! I couldn&#039;t tell you what the point of the game is because I haven&#039;t beaten it yet but you get to eat people and be the shark everyone fears. It is a completely awesome game, but the controls are a little hard to get down. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;23. Grand Turismo 3 &amp;amp; 4 - these two games are race car driving games, but the different cars you can drive are unreal. I am really good at car games and I love racing on the different tracks. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;24. Indigo Prophecy - this game is like no other and is hard to explain. First, you are a guy who is possessed by some cult and you start out in a restaurant bathroom and you just end up killing a guy but don&#039;t remember doing it. The whole point of the game is to keep one step ahead of the cops in order to find out what is going on and to clear your name. You have to cover your tracks, such as hide the bodies, wipe up evidence all so you have a few extra seconds to escape. All battles are a series of button sequences so there is no actual fighting in the game, you just have to push the right buttons. It is a very dark and intelligent game because you have to think like a criminal in order to make it out alive. I would check this one out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;25. Urbz Sims in the city - you play as a Sim and you have different places to go to get your popularity up in order to move on to the next one. You have to dress like them, act like them, and meet certain objectives. You actually get to play the job you choose to make money by pushing different buttons in time. I really like this game because you can play dress up, meet friends, become popular, and at the end of the game you get a machine to make money for you so you can play around and do whatever you want.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;26. Primal - this game is very Gothic, you play as a woman with a gargoyle as a side kick. This game is full of puzzles and you have to use your brain to figure out how to beat each puzzle with yourself and the gargoyle and kick some butt. Good for the brain!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;27. Leisure Suit Larry - basic plot is you are a college man who is trying to get laid. I find it funny because Ron Jeremy is in it as the porn fairy wearing a pink tutu and a pink dildo for a want. You also have Sweetwater the pimp who shows up. You get into some very interesting conversations and mini games. Overall a fun game if you have an open mind.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;28. Resident Evil - I like the series, but I really love Resident Evil 4. Mostly because I think Leon S. Kennedy (the character you play) is majorly HOT. I like shooting zombies and getting the crap scared out of me. It is a good game, check it out!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;29. Twisted Metal Series - you pick a vehicle, and then shoot the crap out of other vehicles to win in order to get your ultimate wish. My favorite character of all time is Sweet Tooth. He is the sadistic killer clown with fire for hair. He drives an ice cream truck. Twisted Metal Black is probably the most disturbing of them all, but I love it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;30. Bloodrayne - I really like the character Rayne, who is half vampire, half human. She hunts vampires and tries to rid the world of evil even though she herself sucks blood. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;31. Hitman Trilogy - you play as Agent 47 and you are a Hitman. You not only have to use your brain on these missions, you have to have skill as well. You must disguise yourself in order to sneak in in order to eliminate your target without getting caught. Your adrenaline will be pumping for sure, but once you pull something off, you feel like a God. LOL.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;32. Tekken - just like Mortal Kombat, you pick a character and beat the other players to win. My favorite is Nina Williams, she is my girl.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;33. Tomb Raider - Lara Croft kicks butt and I just love her games. You get action, puzzles, and just plain fun the whole way. I would think by now everyone knows about her so I won&#039;t explain further.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, these are the games I love. Hopefully you will pick up a copy and see what you think.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>How do I help my sister?</title>
 <link>http://breast-cancer-awareness.fitsugar.com/How-do-I-help-my-sister-2464541</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://breast-cancer-awareness.fitsugar.com/How-do-I-help-my-sister-2464541&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;My sister was diagnosed with Stage 2 Invasive Ductile Breast Cancer approximately two weeks ago (it seems like a blur so I cannot remember the exact date she called up and she she had just found out).  She just found out she has Triple Negative Breast Cancer, which means a long course of chemotherapy with treatments of radiation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What I need to know is how do I help (or organize/resolve) the practical day to day and monthly issues that a homeowner and head of household has to deal with?  I know she&#039;s already thinking about this and I am too but what do we need...supply wise to wage war. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My sister is a worrier/planner (I&#039;m the problem-solver/organizer). She&#039;s someone who wakes up in the middle of the night to check on how much laundry detergent she has left or how much toilet paper is stockpiled in the closet.  She wakes up to make grocery lists and lists of things that need to be done around the house. What I want to do is get a jump on these things so that at least those concerns can be off her mind and she can just recover and beat this thing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m already looking for resources to help her make her mortgage payments while she is off work.  We&#039;re looking at breast cancer support groups close to her home.  Everyone in my family who is in California is gearing up to assist with getting my sister to and from medical appointments and taking her out to run errands.  But we&#039;re trying to prepare for the expected year long chemotherapy and radiation therapy she&#039;s supposed to have.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I&#039;m trying to think of everything that we can stockpile so that financially I can assist in keeping her household up and running and take the financial burden/worry off her.  I&#039;ve got my nephews (her kids) going through they&#039;re home and taking inventory of what&#039;s there now - how much toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies, soap, deodorant, menstrual supplies for her, dog and cat food, cat litter and things of that nature. Then their going to make lists along with their mom of food staples that can be stocked up so that if money gets super tight they can all still eat nutritious meals, take showers and have clean clothes etc.  We&#039;re going to purchase an upright freezer for the garage to replace the horizontal freezer she has.  She cannot pick up anything out of the old freezer because it causes her too much pain, so were going to sell the old freezer and buy one where things can be easily reached.  She uses the extra freezer to store frozen vegetables, milk, juice, meat etc.  I am also going to add a pantry in her garage for other food staples that shouldn&#039;t be jammed in her pantry - canned goods, dried beans, kitchen staples.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am obliviously going to support her emotionally, she really my closet relative and friend.  And I will continue to support my nephews emotionally.  But their are practical, financial things that have to be taken care of too so that their quality of life doesn&#039;t suffer while she fights - but I&#039;m not sure I&#039;m thinking of all of them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She lives in Southern California while I live nearly 500 miles away in Northern California.  I&#039;m considering moving back to Southern California to be closer but since I don&#039;t have a BA I will take a serious pay cut by moving down there now without the degree.  Plus she&#039;d be a little pissed off if I dropped out of school to attend to her.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We&#039;ve been through this sort of situation before; the first and second time my mom had to have brain surgery but my mom prepped things while my dad instituted her plans.  Over and over again my family has gone through these serious medical issues with the most able person taking the lead in planning and resolving household issues while or before or even during the time that the person is recovering from whatever malady.  Well, now my mom is dead, my dad is dead, my sister&#039;s husband is dead, my brothers are all emotionally detached because of our parents deaths and my mother and father&#039;s sisters and brothers are for the most party either very elderly and retired or distant.  So all that said it&#039;s my turn to make sure my sister and her kids are taken care of during this battle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Uggh, my brain is running a million lists of things to do at one time but I want to get started and devy the tasks among various family members before anything happens so that we can all focus on giving her the support and love she needs and the peace of mind she needs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today, for the first time since she was diagnosed she actually laughed.  She and my 78 year old aunt had gone to the surgeon who will be removing the tumor and doing the mastectomy. The doctor said that she may want to postpone the breast reconstruction until after the radiation therapy because the radiation will adversely affect her skin and her ability to heal post-op.  Then he asked if she was aware that her breast reconstruction was going to automatically include the unaffected breast too (their going to reduce and lift the other breast when they reconstruct the infected breast).  She knew that already because we figured that the surgeon wouldn&#039;t want to leave her extremely loop-sided with one small normal human sized breast (a B or C cup) and one E cup breast.  My aunt who was with her said to the doctor &quot;Of course you cannot leaving her loop-sided and leaning.  That&#039;s all we need is a leaning tower of Lisa.&quot;  My sister (Lisa) told me this and I cracked up - that&#039;s my 78 year old aunt for you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I told my sister that this was the goofiest way to go about getting the breast lift that she has always wanted.  I said, &quot;All this for smaller perky breasts. You&#039;ll be 50 and have the perky breasts you longed for at 20.&quot;  My sister laughed so much so choked on her own spit.  Then she said the only pisser was that she had just bought 4 or 5 new fancy bras in her 38 E size and there&#039;s no way she be able to wear them down to the wire with just one boobs.  I told her we&#039;d buy her a falsy til she&#039;s ready for the reconstruction surgery.  She actually got off the phone in a good mood rather than the down in the dumps mood she&#039;d been in for the past few weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh yes - what preparations should we make for the long course of Chemotherapy she going to have?  Some of the other survivors that my sister has met said she needs to buy loads of different air fresheners and keep them handy for when she starts to vomit.  They&#039;ve said that the smell of her vomit will sicken her worse than the smell of the air freshener.  I know that cause she was a major vomiter during both of her pregnancies - anything that she smelled and didn&#039;t like made her vomit, then the smell of her own vomit made her vomit.  Imagine the fun I had cleaning that up over and over again.  My brother-in-law thought it was hilarious, she couldn&#039;t even watch food commercials while pregnant caused she heave.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I know that chemo may cause her to develop mouth sores and other things so I&#039;m trying to think of what to get for her so that she is somewhat comfortable.  What can help her through chemo?&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Man assaulted by Amy Winehouse says he won’t file charges </title>
 <link>http://celeb-and-world-news.popsugar.com/Man-assaulted-Amy-Winehouse-says-he-wont-file-charges-1750523</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://celeb-and-world-news.popsugar.com/Man-assaulted-Amy-Winehouse-says-he-wont-file-charges-1750523&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;It takes a big man to get knocked in the face by an 80 pound girl and keep his dignity. But that’s exactly the kind of man James Gostelow is. Gostelow was assaulted – and by that I mean viciously elbowed – by Amy Winehouse during her Saturday evening concert at the Glastonbury Festival. Gostelow says it was all a case of mistaken identity. A man behind him threw his hat at Amy’s beehive, and she thought it was James. Thus the mad elbowing. But let’s be fair here – the other guy was probably just throwing his hat in the air – or maybe he didn’t even touch it. Winehouse’s hive has a gravitational force all its own.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mr Gostelow said the incident was a case of mistaken identity. “I saw a hat being thrown from behind me and it hit Amy’s beehive. She looked down, saw me looking up, and her elbow went for me. She caught my forehead, then someone may have shouted something from the back, which is when she went in again.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Speaking after the incident, Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis defended the star, saying she had appeared to lash out after being touched by a fan. Mr Gostelow, who did not see anyone touch the singer, said he was “shocked” rather than sore. He added that while he was “disappointed”, he had no intention of making a complaint to police.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“At the end of the day it is all part of being at the front and being pushed by thousands of people. It is all part of the Glastonbury experience,” he said. “I’m just pleased I got to see her. She did a great act. Not everyone can say they have been hit by Amy Winehouse. I just want to shake the person who threw the hat.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[From the BBC] &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Talk about having a good attitude. It’s odd though, we’ve heard at least three different versions of what happened. The original explanation was that someone grabbed Amy’s boob. So then you think, “Well who could blame her?” Then it was that someone grabbed her hair. So again, you think “Well it’s probably instinct to react to someone grabbing you.” If you’re generous with excuses. Now it seems that someone threw a hat at or near Winehouse, and she just started beating on anyone who had the balls to make eye contact with her. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To look at the video, it doesn’t seem like anyone could get seriously injured. And she also appeared to be mildly (for Amy Winehouse) drunk. So I doubt she was able to put much force behind her elbowing/blows (depending on which story you believe). Nonetheless, everyone should keep in mind that if you’re willing to shell out a lot of cash for an Amy Winehouse concert, the odds are still 50/50 that she’ll show up, and about 60/40 that she’ll give you a beat down. &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>37) Simon Cowell - EHM EWW!!</title>
 <link>http://hot-guys.popsugar.com/37-Simon-Cowell---EHM-EWW-1634797</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://hot-guys.popsugar.com/37-Simon-Cowell---EHM-EWW-1634797&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=108 height=160  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl1/3/32253/20_2008/n_0.large_3.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;SPAN class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/node/1634789&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt; Simon Cowell is the music producer who has become one of the biggest stars on television with Pop Idol and The X Factor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Introduction&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Simon Cowell - one of the hottest men in the world? You may just be surprised at the number of women who find him very attractive. However, you&#039;ll struggle to find any who&#039;ll openly admit it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Scores&lt;br /&gt;
Looks: 73&lt;br /&gt;
Body: 68&lt;br /&gt;
Lifestyle: 72&lt;br /&gt;
Career: 89&lt;br /&gt;
Overall: 74 &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Biography&lt;br /&gt;
Simon Phillip Cowell was born in Brighton, England on October 7th 1959. After leaving school at sixteen, he got a job in the mail room at EMI Music Publishing. Over the next twenty years he gradually worked his way up through the music industry until he became a music producer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His Sexiest Moments&lt;br /&gt;
Despite his position on the countdown of the world&#039;s sexiest men, we couldn&#039;t actually think of any memorable Simon Cowell sexy moments. But how sexy can you be sitting behind a desk telling everyone how bad they&#039;re at singing?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Three Things You Never Knew&lt;br /&gt;
1. He has signed such legendary recording artists as The Power Rangers, World Wrestling Federation, Zig &amp;amp; Zag and the Teletubbies. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. In 2003, he sold his share in S Records for to music company BMG for $42 million.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Despite his nasty image, Simon is a teddy beat at heart. He takes a keen interest in animal rights and is a supporter of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Looks&lt;br /&gt;
If you look beyond his cartoon like image, Simon Cowell is actually a very handsome man. His dark good looks have gained the former high trouser wearing star a legion of female admirers. However, few will probably want to admit it. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Body&lt;br /&gt;
When you think of words to describe Simon Cowell&#039;s body, sexy probably isn&#039;t one of them. Although he has stopped wearing his trousers so under his armpits, he still has those rather unattractive &#039;man boobs&#039;. If you&#039;re unfamiliar with the term, it refers to men you have developed small breasts of their own due to being overweight and lacking in muscle. It&#039;s not a good look particularly when Simon insists on wearing tight t-shirts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lifestyle&lt;br /&gt;
It can be hard to like Simon because of his television persona but in real life he&#039;s not all that bad. Sure, he still has a big ego but he&#039;s actually quite a nice fellow. However, his personal life is somewhat of a mystery. There have been one or two kiss and tell stories from big breasted lapdancers. And his on-off relationship with the beautiful Terri Seymour seems to be back on again. However, some people believe this is all a cover to hide his homosexuality. Or maybe he swings both ways. Who knows. Who cares.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Career&lt;br /&gt;
Simon has always been a successful man. He became a millionaire through his music producing activities with legends such as Robson and Jerome and The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. However, his career and wealth have gone through the roof with the re-emergence of the television talent show. His involvement in Pop Idol and The X Factor has made him a household name in both the UK and the US. Even Simon must sometimes struggle to believe how great these last few years have been. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Sharon Osbourne has been named the ultimate plastic surgery success</title>
 <link>http://celebrity-surgery.popsugar.com/Sharon-Osbourne-has-been-named-ultimate-plastic-surgery-success-1141741</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://celebrity-surgery.popsugar.com/Sharon-Osbourne-has-been-named-ultimate-plastic-surgery-success-1141741&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 55-year-old ‘X Factor’ judge – who has admitted to spending around&lt;br /&gt;
$600,000 on cosmetic improvements – was named the Queen of the Nip and Tuck&lt;br /&gt;
in a poll of 3,000 women for TV station FX Channel. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She beat 62-year-old actress Helen Mirren, who is rumored to have had a&lt;br /&gt;
subtle facelift, into second place. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A spokesman for FX, who show hit plastic surgery drama ‘Nip/Tuck’, said:&lt;br /&gt;
“Both look fantastic.” &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sharon – who is married to rock legend Ozzy Osbourne – recently said she&lt;br /&gt;
regrets have so much plastic surgery and vowed never to go under the knife&lt;br /&gt;
again. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The mother-of-three – who has had stomach stapling, a boob job, facelift and&lt;br /&gt;
liposuction – said: “My body’s tired. I’ve put it through too much, abused&lt;br /&gt;
it and my body is knackered. I am content with how I look at my age and I’m&lt;br /&gt;
really scared of ending up looking like those people whose faces are ironed&lt;br /&gt;
and foreheads don’t move. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I regret having my breasts done because I’m never happy with them. But the&lt;br /&gt;
most painful was having my legs lifted. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“So right now, I’ve really, really had it with surgery.” &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;really? um..&lt;/p&gt;
