What happens when two teen pop stars meet on a movie set twenty years after fighting it out for chart supremacy in the late eighties?
Well, the answer is pretty obvious when the stars are Debbie Gibson and Tiffany…. FIGHT!
The two former pop princesses star in the film Mega Python vs Gatoroid which is currently under production, although I am not sure if they play either of the title characters.
One thing for sure, there is plenty of ‘bitching’ and ‘bitch slapping’ going on as the pair wrestle across tables and the floor covering each other in food.
A sort of Nine & A Half Weeks for Girl Fight fans! Top stuff.
Research by Europe’s largest online matchmaker, Parship, suggests that the World Cup has caused a drought in Summer dating, predicting a drop in first dates of 25% until the final on June 11th.
High numbers of both men and women have suggested that they will be putting love on the back boiler during the tournament, with 68% of men aiming to watch all of England’s games along with other key matches and 53% of women saying they would be doing the same.
Perhaps surprisingly, female football fans are more ruthless about not missing a game: 22% of women, compared to just 12% of men, said they would prioritise football over a date, while 48% of women, compared to 58% of men, would agree to missing an important game in favour of a first date. The remaining 12% of men and 14% of women would prefer to have their cake and eat it – by suggesting a date at a venue where the game was being screened.
Happily, you can impress your date in more subtle football-related ways: 26% of men and 17% of women would see extra attraction in a date who knew the offside rule; 25% of men and 22% of women would be impressed if a date knew the names of the England team, and 34% and 27% of women would be more likely to cosy up to a date who was hosting a World Cup party, well who wouldn’t?
The survey also revealed that a staggering six out of ten first dates are now arranged online and that 39% of Parship’s members have found someone special through their dating service.
A bill that was thought to have been passed in California banning the sale of electronic cigarettes in September 2009 has in fact not been made law as Governor Arnold Schwarzeneger declined to sign it.
A press release in October 2009 confirmed that the governor had indeed declined to sign the Bill400 that was passed by the Californian Senate on September 11th 2009.
The bill was originally written as “The Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program”, and then was amended to ban the sale of electric cigarettes to minors, which was very supportable. Additional wording in the bill would have also banned the sale of electronic cigarettes in the state of California to adults.
In a statement on the California Government web site, Governor Schwarzenegger made it clear that there is a difference between the freedoms of adults and children. In the letter, the governor made the following comments.
“I am returning Senate Bill 400 without my signature. While I support restricting access of electronic cigarettes to children under the age of 18, I cannot sign a measure that also declares them a federally regulated drug when the matter is currently being decided through pending litigation. Items defined as “tobacco products” are legal for anyone over the age of 18. If adults want to purchase and consume these products with an understanding of the associated health risks, they should be able to do so unless and until federal law changes the legal status of these tobacco products. For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill. Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger”
California had been instrumental in banning smoking in public places in the USA and the ‘ban’ on e cigarettes looked like they would be among the first places to stop sales of the alternative smoking aids.
Justin Bieber is the boy your pre-teen daughter and all her friends want to meet. Parents who were unaware till now of the sixteen-year-old’s existence either only have sons or keep their heads firmly buried in an inaccessible time warp and their ears firmly closed. However, you need take only a single peek at what your daughter is talking about and drooling over on her iphone, and the chances are that it’s the sweet-faced kid from Ontario.
When 3,000 teenage girl fans swarmed into a Long Island mall where their idol was due to perform, there were fears for public safety and the lad’s appearance was abruptly cancelled and his manager arrested on charges of hindering police efforts. This occurred in March 2010 and was a demonstration of the furore the juvenile heartthrob is capable of stirring up.
Like every generation that has preceded it, today’s pre-teens are creating their own gallery of sounds, looks and celebrities to follow. Fashion for ‘tweens’ is no longer dictated by grown-ups. Girls know what they want. This can add up to a tricky dilemma for parents, when it comes to buying kids clothes.
Some pet hates among parents are jeans that sit too low on the hips, plunging necklines and hot pants. A particular bugbear is inappropriate lettering emblazoned across buttocks or chest. Exerting some influence over a child’s choice of clothing while she’s still under ten is simply common sense. The taller girl’s parents need to shop around, rather than let her dress in inappropriately tight or lurid outfits.
There is a great deal to be said for allowing a child to stay young and innocent for as long as possible, while still tuning into the relatively harmless lyrics of Justin Bieber’s songs. (After all, he did gain the accolade of being fifth in a poll for ‘Best Good Example of 2009’.)
The freedom afforded by wearing colourful loose items like Capri pants, cotton dresses and free-floating tops is far more desirable than being squeezed into ‘sexy’ items that can only make the wearer feel restricted and self-conscious. There are gorgeous colours, capturing the zing of spring and summer, and, best of all, the girl dressed this way looks charming, not cheap, something nice boys like Justin normally appreciate.
Not a celebrity this time but a stupid teenager who went to a tattoo parlour to have some stars tattooed onto her face and then tried to sue the tattooist when she realised how pathetic she looked.
The 18-year-old from Belgium, claims she asked the tattoo artist for three stars next to her eye but fell asleep and awoke with 56 stars all over one side of her face.
Now forgive me if I’m wrong, but anyone who has ever had a tattoo will find this almost impossible to believe unless of course they are blind drunk.
The girl believes that the Romanian tattooist misunderstood her French and English, and claims that she is now too embarrassed to go out in public. Surely it would have been quite simple to write the number down for clarification or just holding up three fingers, duh!
The tattooist is absolutely adamant that she asked for the 56 stars, which was also confirmed by a witness at the parlour, and that not only did she keep checking in the mirror at he proceeded but was happy with the artwork when she left the shop.
He believes that it was went she went home that it all changed when her father saw what she had had done. The tattooist has even offered to pay half the costs of laser treatment to have the stars removed which is rumoured to be at a cost of £8,500.
Why on earth should this man pay for the girls stupidity although he has said that the publicity has been great for him. She got what she asked for now she can either earn the money to have them removed or live with it so that everyone can thank their ‘lucky stars’ that they had never done anything quite so ridiculous!
The only thing I could possibly say on the side of the girl, is that there should be an age limit for this sort of artwork and a possible consultation before this permanent procedure is undertaken.
