Delta & Brian Move On

A month maybe, thereabouts after their split and Delta has been papped holding hands with Nick Jonas. After 4 years engaged it took her all of a month to find someone else. Hes 18 to her 26 so a bit of an age gap although about the same as Brian was 31. This photo was taken last week and apparently Brian was gutted, devastated, thought she was in America patching up her broken heart when she was really with a Jonas Bro.It now appears, well in todays paper anyway that Brian has found himself a newgal to patch up his broken heart. Although reports are saying that he met Vogue Williams (parent with a sense of humour maybe - will have to check whether its her stage name) a month ago and so he waited a respectable fortnight before finding someone else. I do feel sorry for his kids because as he said before while hes not in a relationship he has all the time in the world for them, I wonder how much of them hes going to see now he has a new girlfriend.

And the Winners are....

John Rich on Celebrity Apprentice - it came down to him and Marlee, I desperately wanted Marlee but knew it would be John and it was.

Hines Ward on Dancing With The Stars - it was originally Chelsea, Kirstie and Hines then in a complete shock vote off Chelsea, who I thought had it in the bag was voted off so there was a chance Kirstie would win it but she didnt boo.

Congratulations Kim Kardashian

Congratulations to Kim and Kris on their engagement.

Its about time Kim found a nice guy to settle down with.

I admit it my guilty pleasure is the Kardashians Tv Show although without Kris and Bruce Jenner they tend to suck a little. I didnt enjoy Kim and Kourtney in New York it was boring and Scott is a complete plank. I do however enjoy Khloe and Lamar and cant wait til she has babies, they will come out 6ft!!

Some Rapes are worse than others

At least that is what this man - Ken Clarke - seems to think. While talking on the radio Kenneth Clarke came out with:

I am sick of the censorship that surrounds the issue of rape.

So I shall defy it. Of course all rapes are bad. But some rapes are worse than others.

The extension of rape, to cover any situation where a woman says she has been raped, is a huge difficulty for a fair legal system that relies on actual evidence before deciding guilt.

Even for saying this, I know quite well that I will get raging, lying abuse.

This morning MEP Roger Helmer has come out to defend him by saying that some women are partly to blame for their rape. 

"Imagine a woman voluntarily goes to her boyfriend's apartment, undresses and gets into bed, perhaps anticipating sex. But at the last minute she gets cold feet and says 'Stop!'. The young man, in the heat of the moment, is unable to restrain himself and carries on.

"The victim surely shares a part of the responsibility, if only for establishing reasonable expectations in her boyfriend's mind."

This shows that the Slut Walk is needed to change peoples perceptions of Rape. Rape is a disgustingly violent crime that will stay with the woman and affect everything she does in her life from that moment on long after the person who committed the crime actually serves whatever sentence that they get given. 

Whether it is a boyfriend or husband who wouldnt stop when you said no to the guy who attacks you when you are out and about it is still a violation of a woman and it is still a rape. A woman is NOT the husbands property and it is not his right to expect and demand sex whenever he wishes. A man is able to stop he just chooses not to as I dont think men understand the effect a rape has on a woman and just thinks it was a joke in the heat of the moment. They all also use the oh I couldnt stop myself excuse and the you put it on a plate you cant change your mind at the last minute. 

What kind of message is this sending the younger generation if the older generation are still coming out with tosh like this. If you get into bed with your girlfriend and she says no you can still have sex because she enticed you and how are you able to control yourself? 

Because Ken Clarke wants to free up prison you dont have the risk of a jail sentence because you knew the victim and she knew you so that makes it a lesser crime. Will the same be said now of date rape cases or cases where the woman is drunk and a man takes advantage? 

I think if men were put in the position - specifically Ken Clarke - they would think differently about rape. Maybe when he is having a shower at his fancy mens club someone needs to wait until he drops the soap and then show him exactly what it feels like to have things inserted into your body that you didnt consent to.

We bicker but I dont think 7 times a day there are days I could murder him, at least once a month. I cant really say we argue about the above stuff often and im surprised inlaws aren't on that list because I reckon before xmas we would have had 2,455 rows about them in a week.

Botox for kids mum loses custody

Kerry Campbell has lost custody of her 8 year old daughter after injecting her live on Good Morning America. Child Protection Officials took Britney over the weekend from her home in San Francisco while they investigate her mother for child abuse. Took them long enough.
more details to follow in the week.
Update

In an interview with The Sun Kerry has done a complete 180. After bragging about how she is injecting botox and fillers into her daughter, as well as waxing her, back in March she is now feeling the magnatude of what she has done to her daughter its just sad that her daughter had to be taken away for her to realise what she has been doing is abuse. I dont know whether I fully trust what she says, it seems to be a bit of I'll say what they want to hear to stop me being a hate figure and get my daughter back but dont believe it.

What Kerry says to The Sun:

 "I cannot put into words the remorse I feel.

I am going to seek therapy for my obsession with looks so I will no longer push my insecurities about appearance on to her.

I will not use Botox on her ever again.

I honestly felt I was helping her. I regret doing it and remain committed to being a good mother and being reunited with my daughter.

I never wanted to harm Britney in any way and I thought I was helping her.

What has happened is devastating and I realise now that I was wrong.

I realise now what I did was wrong. I was so consumed with making Britney a star that I didn't realise how bad my behaviour was.

I am not emotionally unstable or an evil mother. Britney is the light of my life and I was trying to help her.

I can no longer bring myself to look at the comments on websites covering the story. It makes me feel like I am being beaten up.

I want Sun readers to know that I love my daughter with all my heart. People have said so many horrible things about me, when all I wanted was the best for my child."

One thing that is true, she definitely needs help and whereas she may not be an evil mother she isnt a good one. It will take more than I'm sorry to make her a good mother, that is even if she is allowed to have her daughter back although it has been mentioned that supervised visits would be the start of the family repairing itself. However I am slightly worried when a family member has been quoted saying:

"Kerry is a fantastic mother and she was simply trying to give her daughter a leg-up. Britney has shown absolutely no ill effects from the treatment and has always been a happy child.

"To say she is being abused is plain ridiculous." 

Its abuse when you inject poison into your child. Its abuse when you cause them pain for no reason (depending where she waxes it hurts as does getting injected by a needle). It is also abuse when you mess with your 8 year old daughters head and distort their vision of themselves. That poor girl will hopefully recover and not have any issues with her face and body but the chances of that are slim unless she is given the support that she is beautiful and doesnt need poison to make her so. 

 

Stupid In Laws

Well since last year I have stopped all contact with hubbys brother after a nasty argument that was started by something that didnt even involve him and his wife but they decided to get involved and make a thing, with doing this other things came out and so came the exclusion from monkey and my life. Hubby is able to see his niece and nephew whenever he so chooses even their parents for that matter but monkey is not. Now it may not be fair but since this has been in place its been peaceful to some extent at our house. Not that we saw them all that often before this. 

Its their youngests birthday in a couple of weeks and hubby texted to see what he could get and you would not believe the reply. Apparently as their youngest has never met monkey (which is a lie for starters they were just both too little to remember) there is no point in buying presents. Now Im happy about this because they buy stupid or crappy gifts anyway (a talking photo frame for a 9 month old for xmas with a photo of their kids in - seriously who does that? Oh and a cheap plastic drum and an ugly pooh brown outfit when monkey is in pale blues, disney or dungarees - all of which can be picked up for cheaper than the outfit they bought) Whereas I spent ages (yes I did) trying to find the best value for the money and the best toys for the money for their xmas and birthdays. To deny my hubby of getting something for his brothers child something on their first birthday is ridiculous and Im glad that he sent that back in the text although I believe the words prickish were involved. 

I do like that the longer this exclusion goes on the more idiotic they react which just goes toward my original argument of why I dont want my monkey around them. They are toxic people who use those around them and to be honest Im glad they are out of my life.

Celebrity Apprentice

While Im putting my votes in for DWTS I may as well put the names forward for The Apprentice. Who do I want to win?

Marlee Matlin

I really like Marlee and everything she does. She is truly an inspiration as well as raising the most money ever in the history of the apprentice. 

If she didnt win I wanted Meatloaf to but after last weeks episode he drove me a little mad with all the tears and yes he raised the money to go to his charity but thats the game you raise as much as you can to win not sit and cry and refuse to raise anymore unless you guarantee it goes to your charity. Although I really wanted Gary Busey to do well because I had never really heard of him before and he was out of his tree but so funny. 

Im glad Star Jones went she was so manipulative and the way she was trying to blame Meat sunday about the product placement as well as throwing every member of her team under the bus at one time she was a nasty piece of work and needs to join Omarosa in obscurity. I just wish Nene had stayed to kick her butt. Im not keen on Lil Jon or John Rich ( Seriously Don quite trying to replace Trace Adkins, hes the only guy sexy enough to carry off a stetson on the apprentice) so sunday night I shall have my fingers crossed Marlee comes out on top but have a horrible feeling its going to be John Rich.

Who is going to win Dancing With The Stars 2011?

 

Kirsty & Maksim

I was originally backing Kendra and Louis as well as Kirsty but I noticed a slight attitude coming out of Kendra which was less than flattering. She seemed overly defensive and quite bitchy at times which shocked me as was a huge fan of the original Girls Next Door and watch their inidivual shows. The worst bit was when she started mouthing off because Carrie Ann said that she thought she was afraid of elegance and she said she didnt care and then the following day she was bleep bleep bleeping. 

I didnt expect Kirsty to be as good as she was and I really like Ralph as well. 

So Im backing Kirsty and Maks and hopefully Ralph and Karina make it into the top 3 although I have a sneaking suspicion that Chelsea and Mark could steal the disco ball even though I really really dont want them too. 

3 nights of no sleep

Well my monkey came home from creche and alongside his teething it looks as though he has a cold which he has kindly passed onto me and his daddy. He has been up every half hour throughout the night and I think its lucky that we are still co-sleeping and breastfeeding as it takes seconds for him to go back off, unless he is really upset and then boobtime takes about 15 mins. Add to that 2 irritable parents because we both have blocked up and runny noses and my house is not a fun house at the moment. 

Fingers crossed the colds pass quickly. As I type this hubby and monkey are sleeping on the sofa, although they do look so sweet together!

Woman Sues to Masturbate at Work

I have to admit as a nonsmoker, people who went out during their shifts to have a crafty fag were one of my pet peeves. Now I didnt mind five mins at the beginning of the shift or just before the end but those people who went out for 20 minutes at a time and were clearly just skiving, leaving other people to do the work annoyed the hell out of me. 

Now if you live in Brazil this woman Ana Catarina Bezerra Silvares has sued so that she can masturbate during work hours. The reason she needs to masturbate at work? Apparently she has a condition which is caused by a chemical alteration in her brain that triggers severe anxiety and hypersexuality. She also has won the right to watch porn in the workplace because lets face it everyone needs something to get them in the mood. 

"I got so bad I would to masturbate up to forty seven-times a day. That's when I asked for help, I knew it wasn't normal."

After seeking medical attention and a prescription of tranquilisers she now masturbates 18 times a day. The court ruled that Ana is allowed to masturbate for 15 minutes every 2 hours.

I personally cant think of anything worse than going into my toilet at home and masturbating let alone a public toilet and doing it. Imagine everyone knowing what you are doing the minute you get up from your seat and go to the toilet. Although I dont have this problem so im able to curl up in comfort but still I cant help but wonder how many other people are going to take advantage of this.

Best News I've had this week

Well they caught the thieving git from the other day and he has admitted it. I doubt much will happen to him but at least they got him

Did Bristol Palin have cosmetic surgery - Ya Ha

 

If you looked at the person on the left you would probably think, like I did, Oh Sarah Chalke (blonde one off scrubs, currently starring in MadLove) has dyed her hair dark although it still didnt look quite right. However I would never have guessed that it was Bristol Palin. Now im not a fan of the Palins and she should never have gotten to the final of Dancing With The Stars but she was a pretty girl so why would she alter her appearance so drastically, to the point where she is unrecognisable? Especially as she earns her money being recognisable as the teen Palin mom. 

When talking to Us Weekly she admits that she underwent corrective jaw surgery in December as a result her face now appears thinner, with higher cheekbones and an angular jaw.

"Yes, it improved the way I look, but this surgery was necessary for medical reasons, I look older, more mature and don't have as much of a chubby little baby face, I wouldn't get plastic surgery unless I got in an accident or something terrible and got disfigured"

I disagree that it has improved the way she looked as she does look like a totally different person and its not as if she looked bad originally. Looking through the past and present photos though I dont think it was just corrective jaw surgery, I think a nose job may have been thrown in as well.

Slut Walk Trafalgar Square on Saturday 4th June at 1pm

This started at the beginning of the year when a police officer in Toronto suggested that women shouldn't dress like "sluts" if they wanted to avoid being raped or assaulted. Constable Michael Sanguinetti was addressing students from York University at a safety forum last January when the remark slipped out. Although he later apologised and was disciplined by the Toronto police department, some women felt that his words revealed the inadequate treatment of sexual assault victims by many law enforcement agents

As you can imagine these remarks have sparked a string of complaints and now a number of internation protest marches.

"women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized"

If you get dressed up and wear a mini skirt or low cut top and get sexually assaulted then people assume you said yes at the time but then changed your mind when you sobered up. 

What happens though if a girl of 11 is dressed provocatively to look older and is then gang raped?

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/09/us/09assault.html?_r=1 

Or how about a woman who gets drunk and the police officers who are there to help her home safely take advantage and rape her? 

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/15/nyregion/at-rape-trial-of-officers-woman-tells-of-hazy-violent-night.html?_r=2&pagewanted=1&hp

Obviously it is the mothers fault for not knowing where her 11 year old daughter was and allowing her to dress that way and it was the other womans fault for getting so drunk she was unable to remember large chunks of the attack.  

I have been sexually assaulted as well as physically assaulted. One of my boyfriends very kindly gave me my first black eyes and tried to rape me when I refused to have sex with him. Another guy I know pushed me down the stairs trying to pin me down to get a grope but I managed to get away and that was in high school. My cousins boyfriend (of the time) tried to attack me in my own room because he thought we would have fun behind my cousins back, She couldnt believe he would do such a thing and so I got blamed. One of my friends got absolutely hammered, pinned me down in a pub and tried to strip me off it took 3 other friends to get me away from him, I jumped straight in my car and he jumped on the bonnet as I tried to drive off. My boyfriend at the time said that it was my own fault because I shouldnt hang around with the boys and I shouldnt have been wearing what I wore. It was a short skirt but knee length and a blouse but thats not the point. Some of these were people I thought were friends I grew up with one of them and the others I had known for at least 6 years having gone through high school with them. I was still a virgin up until the time my drunken friend and my cousins ex did what they did and then I was with my boyfriend for a few years and were even engaged, so no sexual promiscuity there. I am also teetotal so I was in control of my faculties.
I never told anyone but it took its toll on my confidence. It took me a long time to get over what had happened but if you met me in the street you would never ever guess that this was my past as I refuse to be a victim.

I dont like the word slut its very derogatory but I do like the organisers of the Slut Walks reasons:

“SlutWalk is not an event to recruit sluts, but to defend sluts”

Historically, the term ‘slut’ has carried a predominantly negative connotation. Aimed at those who are sexually promiscuous, be it for work or pleasure, it has primarily been women who have suffered under the burden of this label. And whether dished out as a serious indictment of one’s character or merely as a flippant insult, the intent behind the word is always to wound, so we’re taking it back. “Slut” is being re-appropriated.

We are tired of being oppressed by slut-shaming; of being judged by our sexuality and feeling unsafe as a result. Being in charge of our sexual lives should not mean that we are opening ourselves to an expectation of violence, regardless if we participate in sex for pleasure or work. No one should equate enjoying sex with attracting sexual assault.

We are a movement demanding that our voices be heard. We are here to call foul on our Police Force and demand change. We want Toronto Police Services to take serious steps to regain our trust. We want to feel that we will be respected and protected should we ever need them, but more importantly be certain that those charged with our safety have a true understanding of what it is to be a survivor of sexual assault — slut or otherwise.

We are tired of speeches filled with lip service and the apologies that accompany them. What we want is meaningful dialogue and we are doing something about it: WE ARE COMING TOGETHER. As people from all gender expressions and orientations, all walks of life, levels of employment and education, all races, ages, abilities, and backgrounds, from all points of this city and elsewhere.

We are asking you to join us for SlutWalk, to make a unified statement about sexual assault and victims’ rights and to demand respect for all. Whether a fellow slut or simply an ally, you don’t have to wear your sexual proclivities on your sleeve, we just ask that you come. Any gender-identification, any age. Singles, couples, parents, sisters, brothers, children, friends. Come walk or roll or strut or holler or stomp with us.

Thieving sods

Well what a wonderful day I had. 

I started work as normal and halfway through I get a guy coming in and stealing money from the till when I open it to put the money he gave me for chocolate in it. 

I wasnt threatened with a knife or gun but it still scared the hell out of me. Yet because I wasnt threatened with any weapon people have just gone oh right thats ok your not hurt. 

Now I rant alot but that doesnt make me a victim but so many things were going through my head including the fact I would be blamed because I should have done something to stop it, even though it happened in a split second and I wasnt alone, there were at least 3 people around me 2 of which spoke to the guy. They didnt stop him or make any attempt but do they feel bad, like they should have done something, probably not. 

I havent been blamed that I know of and its all on CCTV and fingerprints have been taken and he could have gotten away with more, he could have threatened me so it could have been alot worse.
Horrible little shits though, how dare they come into my place of work and do that to me or to anyone just to get some drug money. Go out get a job and clean yourselves up. Fed up of seeing those pissheads in the street, load of kids, all of whom look like they are being dragged up and in need of a bath when my hubby and I work hard to make a nice life for us and our little monkey and his brother and/or sister when we are ready to expand. Makes me so mad. 

The Sarah Jane Adventures to continue without Sarah Jane

According to The Sun, the BBC are planning to continue the Sarah Jane Adventures even though she is sadly no longer with us.The bosses had been unsure of the future of the show without the main actress as well as explaining to the children why she isnt there without upsetting them. Which I didnt realise would be as big a deal as it is. 

My niece loves Sarah Jane so when I heard the news I texted her mother immediately and we were told that she had seen the news accidentally when the channel had been left on and she had walked in. Apparently she was heart broken and they felt so bad that they told her it was a mistake and put the dvd on to show that Sarah Jane is ok. My niece has only just turned 4 so its understandable that you dont really want to get into that and make her as upset as she was,

We shall have to wait and see what the writers come up with as tribute to this fabulous Dr Who Companion with the last few episodes of the series left to film.

Mums who inject botox into their kids - WHY?

A few weeks back I read this story in Closer about a mum who injected her daughters with botox that she got off the internet, which is obviously the safest place to buy toxins to inject into yourself let alone your children.

Before this story I had noticed a few popping up around the place where they were injecting botox into their children to make them stars for the future. One mum said that because she injected herself first then she knows its ok for her child. 

Front page of the paper today is a 7 year old who has botox and fillers every two months (injected by mum) and has had her eyebrows tattooed on. The reason for this lunacy? 

"What I am doing for Bree will make her a star.

"All A-list actresses and celebrities start early now and Bree will stand out due to her big lips and super-smooth, wrinkle-free skin.

"The tattooed eyebrows are only light and can be used as a reminder for her on how to pluck properly.

"To be a superstar you have to be different and highly styled.

"That is why I am doing this. She is my child and this is my decision - it will help shape her for the rest of her life." 

Apparently its all the rage in America especially with beauty pageants and modelling. This mother in particular is from San Diego and overheard mothers discussing using botox instead of putting layers of make up on the children - it saves you a fortune in cosmetics. 

Mum contacted 15 doctors who refused to inject her daughter but said that she would be able to as there was no law stopping her because she had trained as a beautician. In Britain and the States botox and fillers are self regulated, which means that it is not illegal to inject a child that young.

This mother also claims that she used both the botox and the filler on herself so that she knew it was safe for her daughter. She also tattooed her daughters eyebrows herself as she used to date a tattoo artist who showed her how to do it. 

"It was all Bree's idea. She showed me a picture of a model with beautiful eyebrows and said that's what she wanted.

"I used to date a tattoo artist who taught me how to do them.

"I borrowed a kit from a friend and tattooed a thin, light line on Bree's brows to give a natural but definite shape. Bree was brave and didn't cry.

"She is pleased with her new eyebrows and it means she will know what shape they are meant to be for the rest of her life." 

Her plans are to carry on and even tattoo the lip liner.

I dont know about other mothers out there but Ive had to go through the vaccinations with my little monkey and I hated every minute of it, so to put a needle in the skin of my child which they didnt need filled with poison (as how reliable are the things you buy off the internet?) this is just absolute insanity. Its one thing to dress your child up in dresses and plaster the make up on them but to inject and tattoo children is just plain child abuse. Little Bree is going to grow up insecure and with problems if her mother is allowed to carry on.

 As previously mentioned its not just this woman all you have to do is type in mum child botox and the list that comes up is amazing. A lot of the stories are duplicates but it shows the amount of children being subjected to this is growing in number regularly. This if anything proves that something needs to be done to prevent these children growing up psychologically damaged with a distorted view of the world and themselves.
