A 1600-calorie tea?
|
Ok. So, there's an upscale hotel in Scotland,The Hilton Grosvenor, that serves a traditional Glasgow tea that, amazingly, has 1,600 calories and enough saturated(bad) fat to more than fulfill your daily saturated fat cosumption. This is madness! The manager of the lavish hotel claims the concerns of upset nutritionists, who are bashing the menu item, are unwarranted, stating "No one is going to eat a Glasgow tea every day". I certainly hope not! Hell, 1600 calories is a lot, considering it would take 3 quarter pounders or an entire medium pizza to equal this. I mean, who eats three quarter pounders or an entire pizza in one sitting? I'll tell you who-a person who's gonna' have a very non-productive day! Think of the blood sugar spike you'll experience after consuming that many calories! A food adviser to First Minister Alex Salmond says:
"Scotland has already gained a dreadful reputation because of the notoriety of the deep-fried Mars bar and this just adds to it," she said. "I can only hope that this menu is meant to be funny, but our health as a nation is no laughing matter."
I'll say it's no laughing matter. As a person who feels restaurants should curb some of the fattening foods they serve on a daily basis, I'm absolutely flabbergasted by this information!

Loving Oprah Can Be Hazardous to Your Health!
|
No doubt, Oprah Winfrey fans are a passionate lot. One of them, however-Orit Greenberg- is filing a lawsuit against Harpo Studios.
According to the woman in question, some of Oprah's overzealous worshippers pushed her down some steps as they stampeded their way into the studio to grab seats.
Greenberg alleges that audience participants were given the green light to sit wherever they wished, which resulted in them pushing and scrambling in a crazed frenzy to compete for the best seats in the house. Greenberg claims that Harpo Studios were contributory to the "severe and permanent injuries" she received, which is why she is taking them to court.
Surprisingly, the disgruntled fan is suing for only about $50,000- astounding, since Winfrey is worth close to a billion bucks and Greenberg could have gone for a whole lot more!.
I personally think Oprah's best bet is to just settle the thing out of court. It would cost more to hire heavy duty lawyers than to just compensate the woman for her injuries. $50,000 to Oprah is- like what?-$5 to you and me.
The "Big O" can make that back walking in her sleep. |

My Mom Likes to Party All the Time
|
Do you ever think that some people ought to get licenses to qualify for parenthood before they give birth?
Here's one recent news story that might cause you to think so.
One Tempe, Arizona mother wasn't about to let anything as "unimportant" as her 5-year-old kid stop her from going out to party at a local night spot. "Mother-from-Hell" -Marquita Renee Martin- decided that it was perfectly okay to leave her precious son- a toddler- home at their apartment by himself from 10 p.m. until well after 3 a.m., while she grooved away the wee hours at a club, without a passing thought of the little tyke.
Concerned cops came on the scene, after a neighbor, who was, obviously, far more concerned about Martin's child than she was, called them because she was worried about the wee darling. According to reports, the police discovered the frightened boy, who was crying and cowering under a blanket. Fortunately, he wasn't hurt, but probably traumatized beyond belief. Imagine the surprise of the "Good Time Gal" when she arrived back at her apartment, only to be arrested and charged with felony child abuse.
Believe it or not, Martin was released "on her own recognizance." For the sake of her poor kid, let's hope this was a wake-up call for this negligent matriarch

Wish You Had a More Interesting Life? Just Make One Up!
|
The latest literary craze appears to be "memoirs" supposedly based on authors' real lives that...well...aren't. Writer Margaret B. Jones recently disgraced herself and her publisher- Penguin Group USA's Riverhead Books- when it was discovered that her acclaimed autobiography "Love and Consequences" was a fraud.
In the gritty book, Jones claimed that she is part white and part Native-American and had been raised by an African-American foster parent called "Big Mom." She also "revealed" that she was a gun toting, drug sellin' member of the infamous Bloods street gang, but that she was able to break free and later go on to graduate from the University of Oregon.
Wow! Interesting life, huh? The thing, though, is that the whole thing was totally fabricated.
Jones's real name is Margaret Seltzer and she spent her youth growing up in an affluent San Fernando Valley, CA neighborhood. She also went to private school. Her own sister ratted on her and now the chastened writer claims that her book was based on stories about the experiences of other individuals she came across.
Bad excuse, Margaret, if that is your real name!
Now all copies of her book have been pulled.
Dang! No movie-based-on-book deals and her book wasn't even out long enough to receive an outraged public diss by Oprah.

Hustler an Penthouse want Spitzer's callgirl!
|
She is in the middle of her 15 minutes! I suggest she runs with it. Surely, Hustler and Penthouse won't be much of a stretch, morally, for this chick. She also is agonizing over the pics that have surfaced of her. Is she serious?
  
Friends of hers are also beginning to speak out on her behalf! |

No Wonder Mary Ann Was So Happy!
|
Didn't it always seem that Mary Ann, the "All-American girl" on the classic sitcom "Gilligan's Island" was just so perpetually cheery and perky that you wanted to choke her sometimes?
Perhaps she had a little help maintaining that chipper mood.
The 69-year-old actress made famous for that role- Dawn Wells- was recently cited for having a stash of marijuana in her vehicle. Although her lawyer claims that a "friend" inadvertently left the offending illegal substance in Wells's car (did she borrow that one from Lindsay Lohan?), the authorities were not so convinced that her uneven driving that evening was due to her fiddling with some knobs on her dashboard.
Not to worry, though! Our dear little castaway won't be put in the clinker with Big Bertha as a cell mate, but got six months probation and a modest $410.50 fine . They dropped DUI charges and two other counts and she took a guilty plea for reckless driving.
All I can say is- now we all know why she was traipsing around that deserted desert isle wearing that glassy-eyed expression!
Wonder if Gilligan was hiding behind the hut toking up a few doobies, too? That would finally explain his spastic behavior, wouldn't it?

Florida Cops Jail Guy Who Was On His Way to Medical Clinic
|
Hey, you better not be caught driving sick in Tampa, Florida, or the cops are liable to haul your wheezing kiester to the city lockup.
That's exactly what happened recently when Mark Brannon blacked out while on the way to a local medical clinic.
Despite the fact that he explained his dire medical situation to these "law enforcement personnel" and was very obviously ill, he was made to take a breathalyzer test- which, by the way, registered a ZERO. and then taken away by these overzealous officers.
Even with proof that he was not driving under the influence, he was still taken to booking. Brannon was in an obvious state of physical distress, unable to either breathe or walk, yet these cops wouldn't even let him see a doctor on premises at the Orient Road jailhouse. Brannon was still forced to remain in custody until 2 a.m. Only then was he finally let go, so that he could get to a doctor, who promptly got him set up in a hospital for treatment for pneumonia.
An investigation has been launched to look into this matter and something tells me that a well-deserved lawsuit may be pending in the near future. |

Before You Take a Bite...
|
|
Hey, guys, feeling hungry right now? This news story may just take your appetite away for life!
Talk of cloning used to be relegated to bad sc-fi movies.and futuristic fiction. However, it is now a reality, as a number of edible critters have been cloned by scientists and may soon become a normal part of our human diet.
No big deal, you say? Well, you might just change your mind, dudes, when you hear this disturbing and just plain scary tidbit of information.
According to a group of Singapore doctors, who have done some extensive research regarding this issue, there may be a very troubling side-effect to consuming beef from cloned cows.
What, you ask?
Sit down for this one, fellas. They assert that hormones contained in the meat, due to the cloning process, may actually cause human males to experience testicle shrinkage, (yes, you heard right!) which means that chowing down on that scrumptious-looking burger in the future could be a pretty risky deal, if what these medical experts allege is indeed the case. This means that an Outback steak meal or "Big Mac Attack" could put you well on your way to singing soprano. Can you say, "Vegetarianism?"
