Bailey DeLuca - Scott Baio Baby Horror

Bailey DeLuca – baby of Scott Baio and Renee Sloan was diagnosed with GA-1 shortly after her birth in November of last year. Bailey DeLuca was born prematurely and GA1, a metabolic disorder that can potentially cause death was a source of horror and nightmares for Scott Baio and Renee Sloan. Further testing now returned negative results, probing the horror as false. Bailey DeLuca does not suffer form GA1, reports People’s Celebrity Baby Blog.

Scott Baio says this was the worst time of his life. But after 10 weeks of testing, the GA1 positive results proved to have been false and Scott Baio Baby Horror is done with. We wish the family only goodest of times ahead :)

 

Speed Painting of Jack Sparrow of Pirates of the Caribbean

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

I’m impressed. This is a time lapse video of some artist speed painting Jack Sparrow of Pirates of the Caribbean and wow. Whoever did this has got some mad skills. Though I can’t help but ask – why would he/she paint the whole skull at the beginning? It’s not like this was 3D modeling? This was a regular standard 2D speed painting. The drawing of Jack Sparrow’s skull, regardless of how bad ass it was, seems a bit pointless. But then again – what do I know. I am nothing compared to this artist. Damn impressive.

According to the caption at the beginning of the video, the artist used Adobe Photoshop CS3 to paint this Jack Sparrow. 3 hours and the pirate was done. You can see it all in mere 4:20 (how awesome, eh?). Pull that hookah and have a puff while you’re watching this. You won’t understand where the fuck you’re at.

Stephanie Cutter Knows Her Way Around

Stephanie Cutter, who previously worked as top aide to Senator Ed Kennedy, then got herself involved during 2004 elections serving as communication director to John Kerry knows her way around and changes colors as she sees fit. Her flag waves in the general direction of the highest bidder. Smart fish.. she can tell where money is and would switch from chanting “Hillary, Hillary” into “Obama, Obama” in a matter of seconds.

Stephanie Cutter was hired to join Barack Obama as senior adviser to his presidential campaign and chief of staff to Michelle Obama, Barack’s wife. Her first task, allegedly, is to recraft Michelle Obama’s image. She had an image? Hmmmm, interesting.

 

Daughters of Bilitis Founders Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon Set to Marry

Daughters of Bilitis Founders Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon Set to Marry

Daughters of Bilitis – widely recognized as the first lesbian organization in the US was founder in 1955 in San Francisco, California by two fine gay women Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon. When Daughters of Bilitis was established, lesbianism was deemed wrong and harmful and women “suffering” from it were routinely submitted to mental institutions and treated by electroshocks in efforts to rid them off their deviant behavior. Back then it was illegal for two women to dance with each other (this is not going berserk) and to fall in love with the same sex partner could get you fired from work or sent to jail.

Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon were a young couple and felt genuine love for each other. They begun the Daughters of Bilitis movement along with 6 other women and now, more than half a century later, the two ladies will become first married lesbian couple in San Francisco. Private ceremony will take place tomorrow in San Francisco City Hall and will be officiated by Mayor Gavin Newsom.

Phyllis Lyon is now 84 year old and Del Martin is 87. They’ve been together for 55 years – which is remarkable in this day and age for any couple when divorce rates are through the roof. What a great gift after decades of fighting for gay rights. May Daughters of Bilitis live on.

Honda FCX Clarity – First Commercial Hydrogen Car

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Honda FCX Clarity - First Commercial Hydrogen Car

Japanese auto manufacturer Honda started production of first commercial hydrogen car in the world – Honda FCX Clarity or simply – Honda Clarity. According to automaker’s reps, Honda Clarity is the first hydrogen fuel cell-powered car certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for regular, commercial use. Say good bye to expensive to run, gas powered cars.

Honda’s been kicking lots of ass lately and FCX Clarity is another step in the right direction. The times are moving on and despite massive financial potential of petrol companies, it seem like they will no longer keep holding us by the balls and economical cars will make their way to the consumer, setting off a decline in rip off practices from those gas companies. Genepax Invented a Car that Runs on Water, Extreme Biofuel is pacing its way around… it’s happening folks, we’re gonna see cars that are more economical to run very soon. Honda FCX Clarity will be mass sold shortly. And I’m happy to share the news about it.

Obviously, we’re gonna need shit loads of hydrogen fuel stations, but they will start to pop up as soon as the people start buying hydrogen cars. However Honda only plans to lease about 200 of their FCX Clarity model over the next three years, so this is just a very beginning for hydrogen cars. The fact that there are not many hydrogen fuel stations is the main obstacle hence first owners of Honda FCX Clarity will be carefully chosen form among those who live within the range of one.

As for the car itself, Honda Clarity runs on electricity which is produced by a fuel cell battery powered by hydrogen. All this car emits is steam. You could go 280 miles before you need to fill the talk up with more hydrogen – which is a pretty decent range.

Even though hydrogen cars are not a thing of immediate future, Honda FCX Clarity proves that alternative power sources for cars are reality and we’ll be able to buy those on a large scale in a few years. Yay ;)

Oliver Peck Beats the Shit out of his Ex Wife Kat Von D

Oliver Peck Beats the Shit out of his Ex Wife Kat Von D

…in tattoos. Oliver Peck, ex-husband of world famous tattoo artist and a star of LA Ink, the reality show on TLC – Kat von D (full name Katherine Von Drachenberg) beat the shit out of his ex wife for inking the most tattoos in 24 hour period.

Oliver Peck, notorious for his mustache, got his name listed in the Guinness Book of World Records after he successfully inked 415 tattoos at his Elm Street Tattoo shop in Dallas, Texas. From midnight on Thursday through to midnight on Friday, Oliver Peck tattooed unlucky number 13 on body parts of volunteering cops, firefighters, bartenders, etc. ranging from arms, through legs all that way to asses. I need a girlfriend who has “13″ tattooed on her ass. I’d be shooting my sperm at it each time I ejaculate after a doggy style.

By finishing 415 tattoos in 24 hours, Oliver Peck beat the record previously held by his ex-wife Kat Von D by 15. Katherine Von Drachenberg was so full of herself and now her own “hobbit with a mustache” ex husband took wind out of her sails. Nice ownage!

Kudos to Oliver Peck. Not only has he fucked his ex wife Kat Von D in the ass by beating her record, he also had it so awesomely timed. He basically spent entire Friday the 13th, from first second to last, tattooing unlucky number 13 on people’s asses. Oliver Peck fucking rocks!

 

Shante Broadus Mug Shot – Wife of Snoop Dogg Arrested for DUI

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

Shante Broadus Mug Shot - Wife of Snoop Dogg Arrested for DUI

I know mug shots are not the most flattering photography in the world, kind of like passport pictures, but Shante Broadus, wife of rapper Snoop Dogg better tell her husband to get her some facial maintenance stuff going. Maybe it’s just a bad time of month for her. She probably went to get pain killers and the best shit they had was two bottles of Jack Daniels, Shante Broadus saw the No. 7 Brand, picked a couple bottles up, chugged that shit right down her throat, killed the menstrual pain and went for a ride. Too bad Jack only kills the pain and doesn’t fix your acne, her mug shot would look much better then.

Snoop Dogg’s wife Shante Broadus was arrested for DUI early this morning in Fullerton, California. At least she picked right place to drive under the influence through. Shante Broadus right after the arrest, because in Fullerton’s DUI arrests, the bail is not needed. How awesome is that? You get your guts loaded with booze, go for a spin, cops bust your ass for DUI and release you on the spot, because that’s how much Fullerton rocks. They pull you over, you DUI, they take you to the City Jail, they book you, issued a citation to appear in court and after that you’re free to go.

Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr., which is the real name of Grammy award nominater rapper and his wife Shante Broadus have been married since 1997. That’s over 10 years of happy marriage. Shante Broadus should give Shaniqua Tompkins tuitions on how to be a good wife to a busy rapper. Cause Shaniqua has no damn clue.
