Rick Ross Date-Rape Lyrics Sparks Campaign for Reebok to Fire Him

Rick Ross in Reebok Commercial: People Demand Firing Him for Lyrics on Rocko’s Song “U.O.E.N.O”

Hello Friends!

My Thoughts: Please give me a break Ross! You do not have to use the exact words 'rape' for anyone whose smart enough, to know what you are referring to in your song....Date rape (drugging without the victim knowing, then having sex (of course without his/her consent) is RAPE in capital letters..... Reading this story, I didn't get your clarifications on what those lyrics really meant....You kept on saying what they didn't mean... Hmm...

A petition has been launched demanding that major sports brand Reebok discontinue using Rick Ross in their advertising, following his use of a lyric referencing date-rape.

As over 50 thousand people have called for the banning of the commercial and firing of the rapper known for using alleged representations of Illuminati New World Order and Satanic symbols and incantations, he has spoken out to defend himself, saying rape is not something he ‘condones’.

The lyric in question features on Rocko’s song “U.O.E.N.O” and appears to have Ross rapping about drugging a woman with molly, which is slang for crystallized MDMA, and then having sex with her.

The questionable lyric is as follows: ‘Put molly all in her champagne / She ain’t even know it / I took her home and I enjoyed that / She ain’t even know it.’

Speaking on 93.3 in New Orleans at the end of last week the 37-year-old defended his rap.

Rick, who is also known as Rozay, said: ‘Woman is the most precious gift known to man. And there was a misunderstanding with a lyric, a misinterpretation.

‘I would never use the term rape in my records, in my lyrics. And as far as my camp, hip-hop don’t condone that, the streets don’t condone that, nobody condones that.’

‘I just want to reach out to all my queens that’s on my timeline, all the sexy ladies, the beautiful ladies that have been reaching out to me with the misunderstanding: We don’t condone rape, and I’m not with that,’ he concluded.

However it seems it’s a case of too little, too late as a petition launched on the last week of March, calling for Reebok to drop him has received thousands upon thousands of signatures.

The petition was started by women’s rights group Ultra Violet and in a statement from co founder Nita Chaudhary it’s explained why the words are unacceptable.

It reads: ‘We are appalled that Reebok would pay a spokesperson who brags about enjoying drugging and raping a woman.

‘Reebok devotes a lot of time, energy and money to marketing to women—and now they are paying a man who is literally bragging about raping us while absurdly insisting it can’t possibly be rape if he doesn't use the word ‘rape.’’

The controversy comes not long after the sports company’s latest advert starring Rick, real name William Leonard Roberts II, was launched.

'Rehab is a blessing not a curse': Uncomfortable Lindsay Lohan is grilled on her addiction problems during Letterman appearance...

Grilled: Lindsay Lohan looked uncomfortable during an appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman which airs on Tuesday night...

Hello Friends!

She will be heading for three months of court ordered rehab on May 2, and, judging by Lindsay Lohan's comments on Tuesday, she is almost looking forward to the experience.

The troubled actress was subjected to an uncomfortable grilling during an appearance on the David Letterman show where she described entering a treatment facility as 'not a bad thing.'

'I think it's a blessing and not a curse,' she told the talk show host about her forthcoming stint in the treatment centre. 

'To be honest, I'm the happiest when I'm working and the healthiest. I think this is an opportunity for me to focus on what I love in life.'

Sporting an orange and white floral dress with her hair in a loose updo, the star tried her best to deflect Letterman's questions during the chat, which will air in the U.S. on Tuesday night. 

'Aren't you supposed to be in rehab now?' Letterman asked the 26-year-old who last month struck a plea deal over charges relating to a car crash in June 2012. 

'Don't you watch anything that goes on? What are you a tabloid now?' she retorted.

Uncomfortable: Lindsay tries to deflect Letterman's questions as he attempts to ask her about her addictions...

Honestly speaking: Lindsay confirmed she would be heading to rehab in May

In typical fashion, the veteran late night host didn't let the star off the hook that easily, asking her how long she was going to be in rehab for and how many times she had been treated previously.

'Several,' Lindsay acknowledged about her forthcoming sixth time in rehab, where she will spend three months.

'What are they rehabbing?' asked Letterman, to audience laughter. 'What is on their list? What are they going to work on when you walk through the door?'

'We didn't discuss this in the pre-interview,' replied an increasingly uncomfortable Lindsay. 'Just saying to everyone.'

What are they rehabbing? LiLo told Letterman they had not discussed the question in the 'pre-interview'...

Not off the hook: The veteran late night host persisted in his line of questioning, despite the actress's objections...

'I don't understand love': Rihanna confesses she's confused about romance amidst rumours that she and Chris Brown are on the rocks...

Confessional performance: Rihanna opened up to her fans on stage in Los Angeles, on Monday night...

Hello Friends!

Rihanna says she doesn't understand love.

The Stay singer - whose relationship with her on/off boyfriend Chris Brown is reported to be on the rocks again - opened up to her fans on stage in Los Angeles, on Monday night.

The 25-year-old hinted that all is not well in her romantic life.

Curious about love: The 25-year-old admitted she was confused about romance

The pop star, who is currently on her Diamonds world tour, asked the audience: 'How many of you are in love?

'How many of you hate love? How many of you don't f**king understand it? I'm in that group.'

The confession came, according to People.com, as an introduction to her new song What Now from her latest album.

From the gut: The Barbados native sang about the trials of heart break and reconciliation

The lyrics for the new track are quite revealing: 'I've been ignoring this big lump in my throat. I shouldn't be crying, tears were for the weaker days. 

'I'm stronger, now what, so I say. But something's missing.'

While the singer may be embroiled in relationship trouble, she took to the stage dressed like royalty.

The Diamonds (In The Sky) artist wore a gold embroidered jacket and thigh-high leather boots.

The petite songstress completed the outfit with black and gold briefs, a leather bikini top, and a diaphanous shirt.

Young union firebrand and the middle-aged anarchist behind parties of hatred for Margaret Thatcher

Bryan Simpson, who sits on the executive council for Britain's largest trade union Unite, used Facebook to invite over 8,000 people to the street party in Glasgow on Monday...

Hello Friends!

Their hate-filled rants on the internet encouraged violent scenes across the country at anti-Thatcher parties.

And an investigation by the Mail has discovered that the organizers of the street parties include a young union firebrand, a former Unison branch secretary and committed anarchists.

Members of various anarchist and socialist groups used the power of the internet to arrange disgraceful ‘Thatcher death parties’ in various British cities.

Law graduate Bryan Simpson, 24, who sits on the executive council for Britain’s largest trade union Unite, was the architect of a vile party in Glasgow.

Using his Facebook account, he invited over 8,000 people to the street party on Monday night. 

More than 1,200 people signed up to the page to state they were going to the anti-Thatcher party.

The Strathclyde University graduate later posted an image of himself and friends ‘celebrating’ the death of Thatcher by spraying champagne.

He was a central figure at the party, joining a conga line and an impromptu dance after a piper turned up.

Simpson, who comes from a respectable Glasgow family, was seen taping up a banner to a statue in George Square and punching the air, and chanting ‘Maggie, Maggie, Maggie – dead, dead, dead’.

Traders in Lagos count losses after downpour

Flooded parts of Lagos State...

Hello Friends!

Some traders in the various markets in Lagos sustained financial losses following a downpour which began in the morning.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the downpour, which stretched into the afternoon hours, left many parts of the city and markets flooded.

NAN correspondents, who visited some markets, reported that many stalls were submerged by water, a situation which made it impossible for the traders and customers to transact businesses.

At the Apongbon, Idumota, Oyingbo and Mushin markets, the situation was the same.

Traders spent most of the morning salvaging their wares, while only few customers could brave the flood to make purchases.

General Secretary, Mushin Market Association, Mr. Olusegun Johnson, said the flood made it impossible for him to display his books and other stationery items for sale.

“I used nylon (polythene) to cover the little ones on display, but it is difficult for people to see what I am selling,” Johnson said.

Chairman of Perishable Foods in Oyingbo Market, Mr Charles Umeh, said the downpour and the ensuing flood deprived them of their usual early morning sales.

Driver rapes 15-year-old housemaid, blames the devil

Ajayi...

Hello Friends!

The Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps has arrested a driver, Olusegun Ajayi, for allegedly raping a 15-year-old housemaid in Arepo, Ogun State.

The NSCDC authorities said the suspect had canal knowledge of the girl which caused her to bleed for two days.

Ajayi, however, told PUNCH Metro that his act was not rape since the victim consented. The suspect, who claimed to be a devout Christian, said he did not know the victim prior to the incident.

He said, “On Saturday night, I was returning from a party and was about to enter my house when I saw the girl sitting outside. I asked her what she was doing outside late at night but she said she was working in a house not far away from my workplace and was sent to buy sweets by her employer.

“She said she was locked outside and that she had been knocking for hours but no one came to open the door for her. I then told her to follow me to an uncompleted building on the street. On getting to the building, we saw a mattress there which had been left behind by labourers. I asked her if she could sleep alone there but she said no.

“So, I went back to my house to get a wrapper and a pillow. Although my wife was not at home, my mother-in-law was around. So, I left her with my children and told her I would not be coming back that night.”

Ajayi, who claimed to be a father of three, said on returning to where the victim was, he laid beside her and began to caress her.

He said the victim did not resist his attempt but requested for money before she would allow him to sleep with her.

Half of all women are unhappy about the way they look, new survey reveals

Lacking confidence: One in two British women are not happy with what they see in the mirror

Hello Friends!

One in two women does not feel confident about the way they look, a new survey has found.

Ironically, 88 per cent of women polled also said that they thought that confidence, not youth, was the secret of true beauty, despite so few saying that they felt confident about their looks themselves.

'What makes a woman truly beautiful? Confidence,' said one respondent, Michelle Goodall, 36. 'It is reaching that point in life when you accept what you’re given and celebrate it.'

'There are a whole swathe of women who are not obsessed by ageing or looks but at the same time just want to look the best they can,' added another, Helen Williams, 38.

The survey and focus group was conducted on behalf of organic skincare brand, Pai, which is also participating in the government-led campaign to encourage women to feel better about the way they look and conducting an Age Confidence campaign of its own.

'As a 37 year old woman, I resent being told my days of looking and feeling my best are numbered, and that I should trolley-dash my way around my local beauty hall to "save" myself from lines and wrinkles,' said Pai Skincare founder, Sarah Brown.

'Age Confidence is an antidote to anti-ageing quick fixes, and encourages women to take a healthier approach to both their skin and their self-image.

'Rather than looking ten years younger, out research shows women's real beauty ambition is to look and feel fantastic in the skin they're in. 

'It's time brands started to celebrate beauty at every age, and help build rather than break down healthy self-images with positive beauty messages.'

Ageing beautifully: Dame Helen Mirren and Dame Judi Dench have both embraced growing older...

The Government's Body Confidence campaign was launched as part of the Coalition's 'create a fairer and more equal society' policy, and aims to widen the definition of beauty represented in

mainstream culture to include all ages, shapes, sizes and ethnicities. 

Jo Swinson, Minister for Women and Equalities, and the MP in charge of the government plan, said: 'There is evidence to suggest that women over 40 experience high levels of dissatisfaction with their weight and bodies in comparison to their younger years. 

'That's a huge, and largely hidden, reservoir of distress that we need to understand more fully and take action on more effectively.

'I want to question the veneration of 'eternal youth' that dominates the beauty industry, and highlight the negative influence it has on women’s self-image – particularly with regards to ageing,' added Brown.

'Together, both campaigns show that it’s time the beauty industry and regulatory bodies unite to make marketing more responsible and work towards building healthy self-images rather than destroying them.'

Negative: Pai Skincare founder Sarah Brown thinks there is too much pressure on women to stay youthful...

'People say I should be shot for having a beard, but I've never felt sexier': Mother, 49, who sprouted FULL facial hair after birth of son 28 years ago is finally ready for love ...

Mariam, 49, gave up tweezing her facial hair in 2008, and has decided instead to let her beard grow and see how it would change her as a person...

Hello Friends!

A mother who began sprouting thick facial hair after the birth of her son 28 years ago says she's feeling sexier and more confident than ever before, having finally stopped trying to get rid of her beard.

The German-born woman, identified only as Mariam, appeared on ITV's This Morning to discuss why she stopped tweezing the hair on her face which she had been plucking every day for almost two decades.

Mariam, 49, also explained to Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield that she is happy with the way she looks and would not change her situation, despite being criticised for her behaviour by her own mother.

She also said she is able to look past the comments of internet trolls who target her bearded woman blog to tell her 'people like me should be sent to Russia... or shot'.

Mariam - who has had tests to rule out serious medical problems more associated with excessive hair growth in women - told Phil and Holly, along with expert Dr Carol Cooper, that she had never had any facial hair before the birth of her son, after which it gradually began growing.

Ten years on, the hair was growing thick enough for a full beard, and Mariam would laboriously tweeze out each hair every morning.

'I asked my mother what to do and she told me to tweeze them, never to shave or wax. And then I visited my gynaecologist who said it happened to lots of other women so I shouldn't worry. But they didn't really give me a reason. Now I know it must be inherited

'My chin got really red and inflamed from all the plucking, and some of the hairs were ingrown, so it always looked like I'd fallen on my chin. But when people asked what had happened and I told them they couldn't believe it.'

In 2008, when she was living alone and unemployed, Mariam decided to give her beard a chance to grow. She said: 'I had no job so I had free time to give it a chance and see what happened, so I started a blog to inform other women about it, and to see what was happening every day and how I felt.

Mariam explained to Holly and Phil that prior to her 'experiment' plucking her beard had become an obsession, and that her son, who has not been named, used to remember it taking her hours to leave the house.

She added: 'I thought about it all the time. I had to double check before leaving the house that it was OK, and take a mirror in my pocket. That was life.

'When I decided to let it grow it didn't feel brave, it was more like a curiosity. I wanted to see hwat would happen to me. There was a big fear that everyone would turn away and nobody would talk to me anymore.'

Mariam, 49, appeared alongside Dr Carol Cooper on ITV's This Morning to explain her situation to Holly and Phil...

Church of England covered up vicar's sex abuse of orphaned teenager for 26 YEARS ...

Sexual abuse: John Yallop had been offering bereavement counselling to the 16-year-old girl

Hello Friends!

A judge has condemned the Church of England and social services for a cover-up that allowed a vicar who sexually abused a teenage orphan to escape justice for 26 years.

John Yallop, a married father of four, had been offering bereavement counselling to the 16-year-old girl just months after she lost her entire family.

He admitted the abuse, which took place over two months, when confronted by a social worker.

But instead of reporting him to police, the Bishop of Sheffield and social services chiefs hushed up the scandal and Yallop, then 40, was allowed to leave his job and move away from the area to restart his life.

The victim, now aged 42, has suffered depression and suicidal thoughts ever since.

She eventually reported Yallop, now 65, to police in January last year after discovering he was again carrying out religious services and wanted to become a foster parent with his new wife.

He initially claimed to be innocent, forcing his victim to relive her ordeal by giving evidence at his trial in February. But the case was cut short for legal reasons and Yallop decided to plead guilty to six counts of indecent assault.

As Judge Simon Lawler QC jailed him for three years at Sheffield Crown Court, he hit out at the authorities responsible for the cover-up and said those still alive ‘should reproach themselves’.

The matter had been ‘swept under the carpet – the church elders were not concerned about her, but more the damage that publicity would do to the church’.

Attack: He abused his position and sexually assaulted his victim in the vicarage when his wife was downstairs, in his car and even in the foyer of St Peter's Church (pictured) in Ellesmere, Sheffield, where he worked

The court heard the teenage girl was an only child from Sheffield orphaned when her father, mother and grandmother all died over eight months in 1987. She was referred to Yallop, who conducted her mother’s funeral, for bereavement counselling.

But he abused his position and sexually assaulted her in the vicarage when his wife was downstairs, in his car and even in the foyer of St Peter’s Church in Ellesmere, Sheffield, where he worked.

The girl eventually confided in her social worker Charlotte Swain, who interviewed Yallop.

Sarah Wright, prosecuting, said the original notes of the interview still exist and Yallop gave a full admission of his sexual abuse.

At a meeting with church elders ‘it was decided to not involve the police’. The judge said the social worker’s concerns were overruled.

'I have got what I wanted, which is to protect other children and for the truth to come out'

Victim of John Yallop

He added the decision by church officials, the Bishop of Sheffield at the time, David Lunn, and social services chiefs had ‘devastating effects’ on the victim.

Yallop moved 40 miles to Blackburn, Lancashire, where his victim - now married and living in South Yorkshire - discovered that he was managing the St Barnabas Church and Community Centre.

After the case, she said: ‘I have got what I wanted, which is to protect other children and for the truth to come out.’

The current Bishop of Sheffield, Dr Steven Croft, apologised to her and agreed that church authorities mishandled the case. Last night Mr Lunn, 82, insisted he was not involved in any cover-up.

He added: ‘The issue was not a problem with an underage person but an inappropriate relationship with an adult member of the congregation. This caused his instant resignation and retirement from the parish.’

Beyoncé and Jay-Z's wedding anniversary trip to Cuba WAS fully licensed by U.S. Treasury...

Fifth wedding anniversary: Beyoncé and Ja-Z pictured in Havana, Cuba as they strolled around the Old Town...

Hello Friends!

Beyoncé and Jay Z’s vacation in Cuba last week was fully licensed by the United States Treasury Department, according to a source familiar with the trip.

After the RnB power couple celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in Havana, Republican members of Congress asked for information on what type of license they obtained.

Their arrival drew in huge crowds of local fans as they strolled hand in hand through the city and posed for pictures with admiring Cubans.

But the longstanding U.S. trade embargo against Cuba prevents most Americans from traveling to the island without a license granted by the U.S. government.

However, President Barack Obama's administration has eased restrictions on travel to Cuba for academic, religious or cultural programs.

In a letter dated on Friday, U.S. Representatives Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart, asked Adam Szubin, director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control, for "information regarding the type of license that Beyoncé and Jay-Z received, for what purpose, and who approved such travel."

Questions: Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (left) and Mario Diaz-Balart (right) contacted the Office of Foreign Assets Control at the Treasury Department, asking if the powercouple obtained the correct license to enter Cuba

Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart represent districts in south Florida where there is a high Cuban-American population.

"Despite the clear prohibition against tourism in Cuba, numerous press reports described the couple's trip as tourism, and the Castro regime touted it as such in its propaganda," the letter said.

"We represent a community of many who have been deeply and personally harmed by the Castro regime's atrocities, including former political prisoners and the families of murdered innocents."

Taking in the sights: The RnB power couple are seen strolling through the streets and talking to locals in Havana

Representatives for Beyoncé did not immediately respond for comment on Saturday.

In Washington last week, the State Department said it had no prior knowledge of the visit. 

A spokeswoman at the U.S. Interests Section in Havana said she did not know if the celebrity couple obtained a license for their trip. 

If they did not, they could be exposed to a fine.

NFF cuts Eagles bonus, coaches salaries

Super Eagles Coach- Stephen Keshi

Hello Friends!

The Nigeria Football Federation has taken a very significant step to curtail overhead cost in the administration of football in the country. The Technical and Development Committee of the federation, which met in Abuja on Tuesday, recommended for immediate implementation, a list of decisions that would substantively cut down the cost of prosecuting games involving the national teams.

One of the major decisions is the review of the salaries of all the national team coaches, including that of Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi. Even though he has a contract still running, The PUNCH learnt that every coach in the employment of the federation would be affected as soon as the implementation begins.

The General Secretary of the NFF, Mr. Musa Amadu, told our correspondent on Tuesday that the federation was simply facing the reality on ground.

He said, “If you take just a simple look at the period around June and the cost implication for the country, for instance, you will understand that the measures being taken have become very necessary. We cannot continue like this; there has to be sensible auditing.”

The NFF added that based on the poor financial situation, the committee has also recommended the staff auditing of the technical crew and backroom staff of all the national teams. This move will see the national team coaches being cut down to maximum of two assistants and a goalkeeper trainer. The Eagles have three assistant coaches plus a goalkeeper trainer. The other backroom staffers are to be cut down too.

The players themselves were not spared in the latest decision. Their win bonus, which was raised to $10,000 some years ago has been cut down to $5,000. The bonus became an issue after the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa as the NFF could not pay the final game bonus after it was nearly doubled from the pre-tournament rate.

Bayelsa: 10 bodies of slain policemen recovered...

Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar

Hello Friends!

THE police in Bayelsa State on Tuesday recovered 10 decomposing bodies said to be those of the policemen killed in an ambush on Saturday night.

Twelve policemen on escort duty were murdered in the attack along the Azuzama waterways of Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of the state which the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta had already claimed responsibility for.

The recovered bodies were brought to the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa, on Tuesday evening by policemen who barricaded the mortuary area of the hospital. The policemen kept journalists at bay and seized cameras of newsmen who attempted capturing the scene.

Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Kingsley Omire, was not at the scene to receive the bodies and there were speculations that the bodies had been dismembered with some of them burnt.

A statement by Governor Seriake Dickson said a combined team of security operatives recovered the 10 bodies along the creeks.

The statement, which was signed by Dickson’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Daniel Iworiso-Markson, also quoted Omire as saying that it took the combined efforts of men of the Joint Security Task Force to ensure the recovery of the corpses.

But some of the recovered bodies were reportedly burnt beyond recognition and mutilated by their killers.

The victims were also reportedly stripped of their uniforms and rifles after the attack.

After waiting for a long time at the Governmen Jetty in Yenagoa, some of the bereaved families were denied access to the bodies when they were finally brought ashore at 6:45pm.

Our correspondent observed that the jetty was protected by armed policemen, including the operatives of the state security outfit, codenamed Operation Door Akpo.

One of the owners of the boats in which the dead policemen were attacked told our correspondent that the gunmen took away the bodies of their victims, dismembered them and burnt some of them.

He said the bodies were not recovered from the river by divers but at a point in the creek where the gunmen mutilated them.

“That was why it took a long time to see their bodies,” he said.

He also insisted that the uniforms and rifles of the victims were taken away by the bandits.

Gate to Hell Discovered in Turkey: Myth Is True....

Gate to Hell: Digital Illustration by Francesco D’Andria Shows Ancient Plutonium, Celebrated as Portal to Underworld in Greco-Roman Mythology...

Hello Friends!

A “gate to hell” has emerged from ruins in southwestern Turkey, Italian archaeologists have announced.

Known as Pluto’s Gate — Ploutonion in Greek, Plutonium in Latin — the cave was celebrated as the portal to the underworld in Greco-Roman mythology and tradition.

Historic sources located the site in the ancient Phrygian city of Hierapolis, now called Pamukkale, and described the opening as filled with lethal mephitic vapors.

‘Any animal that passes inside meets instant death.’

- Greek geographer Strabo (64/63 BC — about 24 AD)

“This space is full of a vapor so misty and dense that one can scarcely see the ground. Any animal that passes inside meets instant death,” the Greek geographer Strabo (64/63 BC — about 24 AD) wrote.

“I threw in sparrows and they immediately breathed their last and fell,” he added.

Announced this month at a conference on Italian archaeology in Istanbul, Turkey, the finding was made by a team led by Francesco D’Andria, professor of classic archaeology at the University of Salento.

Confirmed: Aurora ‘Batman’ Shooter James Holmes Was On Psychotropic Drugs...

Hello Friends!

Newly released court documents confirm that ‘Batman’ shooter James Holmes was taking the anti-depressant drug Zoloft before he conducted his massacre in an Aurora theater last July, underscoring yet again the prevalent yet under reported connection between psychotropic drugs and mass shootings.

While it was known that prescription medication was seized during the search of Holmes’ property, the precise identity of the drug has remained unknown for nearly 9 months – until now.

During their execution of the search warrant on Holmes’ apartment, police, “found prescription medication for sertraline, a generic version of Zoloft used to treat depression, panic disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder; and Clonazepam, usually prescribed to treat anxiety and panic attacks,” reports the L.A. Times.

Zoloft is the same psychotropic drug that Columbine killer Eric Harris was taking before his rampage.

Clonazepam, also known under its brand name Klonopin, has been labeled “the world’s deadliest pill,” in that it “dramatically affects the functioning of the brain” and is highly addictive. Long term use of the drug has been linked with “violence and aggression”.

The connection between Zoloft and violent outbursts is well documented. Countless studies identify Zoloft as being responsible for more than 1,000 suicides and hundreds of episodes of mania and aggression.

Justin Bieber's Drugs & Sex Orgies Exposed...

Justin Bieber Smoking Pot at Party Recently

Hello Friends!

Justin Bieber’s mansion has been overrun by frat-boy scandals with sickening sex and drug orgies that would make Charlie Sheen blush!

Bieber’s home has been transformed into the bachelor pad to be in for destructive behavior, and his sin-crazed friends throw all-night parties while he is on tour.

“There are usually only five dudes and about 42 girls,” a regular raver at Bieber’s house in Calabasas, CA tells RadarOnline.

“A couple of them are strippers and the rest are just girls that everyone knows. All the guys are pretty much hooking up with all he women, they find two or three girls that they like a night.

“The parties are pretty wild, it is like an insane frat party but with way less dudes and a lot more hot chicks! They go on until about 4 or 5 in the morning.”

However, not all the rumors about the party house are true, claims the source.

“Everyone is saying there is a lot of ‘sizzurp’ (codeine syrup) but that’s not true, the only drug used by some people is marijuana,” he explains. “Then other people (sucking down) Ciroc vodka or Stella Artois beer.

“Justin knows about the parties and doesn't mind – but there’s always a bodyguard to make sure no girls are taking pictures. Everyone who comes in has to sign (a non-disclosure waiver) and leave their cell phone at the door with security.”

His house is spread out over 1.3 acres of land and is 10,000 square feet, so even the closest neighbors cannot hear the mayhem that’s going on inside the property, reveals the party-goer.

“We haven’t heard anything from the neighbors because the house is so big and we usually keep it in one room – the Hookah Lounge – and then go out and party in the pool,” the pumped up lounge lizard said.

“You can’t hear the music outside of the estate though and no cops have ever been called – if a neighbor has complained it will probably have been about the amount of cars out in the street.”

And, the party doesn’t stop when the Bieber is home – but it becomes decidedly more PG!

“It just depends on what kind of mood Justin is in on the night. You gotta remember, Justin’s 19 and what are other kids his age doing?”

Among the core group of permanent “house guests”– who all live at the $6.5 million estate in the valley of Los Angeles for free – are rappers King Kevi (a.k.a. Kevin Pederson) and Lil Twist, butthe source insists this new breed of Rat Pack aren’t mooching off the Cheez Whiz Kid.

“Kevi comes from a wealthy family and is in talks with record labels – and the other guys are worth at least $5 million each,” the insider said.

'Rise and grind!': Pregnant Kim Kardashian eats breakfast on the run as she races to morning workout with no make-up...

Breakfast on the go: Kim Kardashian headed out without make-up on Monday in Los Angeles and made a meal of instant oats

Hello Friends!

She's counting down to baby, but Kim Kardashian is still keeping up a hectic pace. 

The 32-year-old didn't have time for make-up - or breakfast - before leaving her house on Tuesday for an early morning workout. 

The reality television star was up and running early on Twitter, too.

'Rise and grind! Gym time,' she tweeted to her fans.

Kim was spotted eating from a cup of Quaker Oatmeal Express as she made her way to the gym.

She sported tight black tights, a white T-shirt under a grey sweatshirt and running shoes.

After her workout, Kardashian changed into a stylish all-black outfit accented with bright red stiletto heels for a business meeting.

Kim and her pregnancy will take center stage in the upcoming eighth season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Baby bumps: Kim is expecting her first child in July with singer Kanye West

A new trailer released Sunday showed a hormonal Kim baring her bump, munching on junk food and breaking down during a stressful trip to the hospital.

Kim is due to give birth in July to her child with singer Kanye West.

The new season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians will air in June.

It also will show Kim fretting about the looming legal battle between her and estranged husband of 72 days Kris Humphries.

The star is gearing up for her impending divorce trial, which is scheduled to begin early May. 

Her mother Kris Jenner and several lawyers and managers are expected to testify about the pair's relationship and prenuptial agreement, according to a witness list filed Monday in Los Angeles.

Humphries is seeking an annulment of the pair's 72-day marriage, claiming it was based on fraud.

Still legally married: The star is gearing up for her divorce trial next month

Kim wants a judge to enter a divorce judgment instead and has denied accusations that she married Humphries for the sake of her reality shows.

She will testify that she 'did not defraud (Humphries) into marrying her,' the filing by Kardashian's legal team states.

Kardashian's boyfriend, Kanye West, and her sisters Kourtney and Khloe are not listed as probable witnesses.
