Miley Cyrus Licorice-sharing Lesbian Scandal Photos
We are still quite sure those "lesbian" photos of Miley Cyrus will not undermine the spirits of fans for Hannah Montana concerts. Defending herself from those who believe the photos are suggestive, Miley Cyrus said in an interview with Z100 New York:
"They're nothing bad!" she said. "At first, I was really upset. It really sucks. [The girl in the pictures] was a friend of mine that's a normal girl. [Now] she has to go to school and deal with this crap. It's two girls at a sleepover, and if all of a sudden that's bad, then what is the world coming to?
"What I decided -- before I came out to L.A. and started working -- was the minute I didn't have fun was the minute I go home," she continued. "I don't want to go home, and I don't want to not do what I do, because I love it. But this ... it's Satan attacking. It's not something I'm going to let slide. I'm really upset about it 'cause it was, like, not even a big deal."
Update: MiLey Cyrus green underwear and "topless" Vanity Fair picture caused a big stir online in April, 2008.

Priscilla Ceballos Hannah Montana Tickets Scandal
Priscilla Ceballos and daughter Alexis Menjivar photo (via)
Priscilla Ceballos is the mother of Texan girl Alexis Menjivar. Ceballos helped daughter 6-year-old Alexis in an essay contest win four tickets to an upcoming Hannah Montana concert on Janurary 9 by fabricating a story telling of her husband Jonathon Menjivar had died in Iraq. The conspiracy was revealed when the Department of Defense has no record of anyone with that name dying in Iraq. Now the mother and daughter may lose their tickets to the sold-out Hannah Montana concert sponsored by Club Libby Lu and a grand prize-airfare for four to Albany, N.Y. where the concert will be staged. Excerpts from Far From Owned
#Tags: priscilla ceallos, alexis menjivar, jonathan menjivar, iraq, hannah Montana, Miley CyrusSometimes, it takes a Texan to prove that people will stoop to anything to get what they want. Meet Priscilla Ceballos, and her lying daughter, Alexis Menjivar, both of whom have brought (even more) shame on Texas and people of Hispanic heritage. More on that in a second, including public information on her that she doesn’t want you to know.
A Garland, Texas six year old and her mother came up with the best lie, at least these days, to get into a January concert, to be held in Albany. The precious little girl, who her mother identifies as Alexis on her MySpace page, and who calls her a “little celebrity” in an obvious nose-thumbing to the incident, wrote an essay claiming that her dad died in Iraq.
Problem is, he didn’t. The father, Jonathan Menjivar, is alive and well in another Texas town. The mother, Priscilla Ceballos, 25, is angry because of what she says are misconceptions. What’s to misunderstand? The girl’s writing is there for all to see. She claimed that her dad died in Iraq, when he never even went to Iraq, and above all, is alive and well.

Valerie Begue Keeps Miss France Title
Valerie Begue, the beauty pageant from he French overseas département of Réunion in Indian Ocean, was crowned the title of Miss France 2008 on December 8.
But when those so-called racy photos published by the Entrevue magazine surfaced on the internet, Miss France Committee threatened to strip of her title.
Now possibly due to the pressure from Begue's hometown where many of the 800,000 inhabitants have risen up to support her, Genevieve de Fontenay president of Committee Miss France, the formidable 75-year-old who has run the Miss France contest for more than 50 years, had agreed to keep Valerie's crown and not to take the matter further.

Meagan Harper picture
Meet Meagan Harper, an Oregon woman who drove under a blood alcohol level of 0.55--nearly seven times greater than Oregon's legal limit (0.08) for driving while on probation for DUI.
At that level, some people are so drunk they would even stop breathing, according to Dr. Mohamud Daya, an Oregon Health & Science University associate professor and emergency room physician.
Luckily, Meagan Harper was saved thanks to an officer who found her when she fainted in a car at a pizza restaurant on Nov. 28.
On Wednesday, Harper who has at least two previous drunken-driving convictions was charged with drunk driving again in Clackamas County.
Thinking her as an extraordinary danger for other road users, Judge Patrick Gilroy set her bail at $50,000 and told her to do rehab. Link #Tags: meagan harper, dui, charge

Bell Steals Elisha Gray's Telephone Patent Idea?
In a new book "The Telephone Gambit: Chasing Alexander Graham Bell's Secret," due out January 7, journalist Seth Shulman, claims to have definitive evidence of a long-suspected technological crime - that Alexander Graham Bell [picture left] stole ideas for the telephone from a rival, Elisha Gray. Author Shulman believes that Bell — aided by aggressive lawyers and a corrupt patent examiner — got an improper peek at patent documents Gray had filed, and that Bell was erroneously credited with filing first. Alexander Graham Bell- Patent Thief? on Slashdot well summarized the main contents of Shulman's book
...Author Seth Shulman shows that Bell's notebooks contain false starts, and then after a 12-day gap during which he visited the US Patent Office, suddenly show an entirely different design, very similar to Gray's design for multiplexing Morse code signals. Shulman claims that Bell copied the design from Gray's patent application and was improperly given credit for earlier submission, with the help of a corrupt patent examiner and aggressive lawyers. Shulman also claims that fear of being found out is the reason Bell distanced himself from the company that carried his name. And if Gray Telephone doesn't seem to roll off the tongue, Shulman also noted that both of them were two decades behind the German inventor Johann Philipp Reis, who produced the first working telephony system."

Paris Hilton Inheritance Fortune Donated to the Charity
Don't know if he was intentionally or not, Barron Hilton, Paris Hilton's 80-year-old grandfather, announced plans to donate 97 percent of his $2.3 billion fortune to charity when his son Rick Hilton took the whole family to vacate at the island of Maui in Hawaii.
Senior Hilton's donation including $1.2 billion Mr. Hilton stands to earn from the recent sale of the Hilton Hotels Corporation and the pending sale of the world’s biggest casino company, Harrah’s Entertainment Inc, sharply diminished the granddaughter's potential inheritance.
That money will be placed in a charitable trust that will eventually benefit the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation established in 1944 by Conrad Hilton, raising its total value to about $4.5 billion. Source: Reuters #Tags: paris hilton, inheritace fortune, charity, barron hilton, conrad hilton
