Investigation Finds Sarah Palin Abused Power

What an embarrassing week for John McCain’s campaign. He lost the debate against Barack Obama on Tuesday, he’s behind in the polls, some of his supporters are showing their true ignorance, and now his running mate Sarah Palin has been accused of abusing her power as Governor of Alaska. Ouch!

According to the AFP,

Investigators found vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin abused her powers as Alaska governor, dealing another blow to Republican John McCain’s struggling White House bid.

In a long-awaited 263-page report released on Friday by Alaska’s Legislative Council, investigator Steve Branchflower said Palin was guilty of violating ethics rules for public officials.

He said Palin had allowed her husband Todd Palin to use the Alaska governor’s office and its resources to pressure officials to fire her former brother-in-law, state trooper Mike Wooten.

It just doesn’t seem to be getting any better for McCain. Poor guy. He wouldn’t be able to run in 4 years either, but I’m actually glad he showed his poor judgment skills by choosing Palin. Isn’t it ironic how the McCain/Palin campaign is running ads to try to suggest that Obama can’t be trusted? This is hypocrisy at its best.

Sean Connery Models for Louis Vuitton

Sean Connery, former James Bond star, has returned to modeling for a new Louis Vuitton campaign. According to The Telegraph, Connery stripped when he worked as a life model for drawing classes at the Edinburgh College of Art. Now the 78-year-old actor has modeled for famous photographer Annie Leibowitz, who also did the controversial Vanity Fair cover of Miley Cyrus.

What a great ad! He still looks hot!

Lindsay Lohan Seeks Police Protection

After the falling out between Lindsay Lohan and the LA Police Chief I’m a bit surprised that she’s went to them to protect her. Now Magazine says Lindsay has been getting some ‘Biblical threats’ in letters to all three of her California addresses from someone.

The actress, who is currently the close companion of DJ Samantha Ronson, 31, is said to have received ‘Biblical’ threats at 3 different Californian addresses.

Now she has been assigned a police guard to protect her, claims the Daily Star. 

What does biblical threats mean? I guess someone is obviously upset that she likes Samantha and not them, so they are threatening her. Geez, no wonder why this poor girl is always chewing on her fingernails, she never knows what’s going to happen during the day. Think she’ll get that police protection?

Miley Cyrus Buys BFF Rings For Herself & Ashley Tisdale

Miley Cyrus has purchased a pair of red enamel bands decorated with horseshoes for herself and Ashley Tisdale.

“Miley saw this Hidalgo ring and said to her mom, ‘OMG, I need to get one of these for Ashley,’” a pal of Miley, 15, tells OK!. “She asked to order two — one for her and Ashley because they both collect things with horseshoes on them.”

The source adds, “They’re really close, and this is their little way to say ‘hi.’ With their crazy schedules, it’s how they stay connected.”

Awww how special for them, I thought BFF rings were a thing of the past unless your in like the third grade.

Austin Powers Star Joe Son Charged with Gang Rape

TMZ reported that the actor from the first Austin Powers movie, Joe Son, has been charged for gang rape. Although his arrest has been in the news, it wasn’t apparent that he starred in Mike Myer’s Austin Powers classic film.

Back in May, he pleaded guilty to felony vandalism, but his plea asked for a DNA sample which ended up connecting him to an unsolved gang rape in 1990 where a woman was pistol-whipped, raped, threatened with death and eventually blindfolded and released naked. How awful!

TMZ now reports:

Son has been charged with five felony counts of rape, two felony counts of forcible sodomy, two felony counts of sodomy in concert by force, seven felony counts of forcible oral copulation, and one felony count of sexual penetration by foreign object by force.

Son faces a maximum sentence of 275 years to life if convicted.

If he’s found guilty, he deserves the 275 years to life in prison!

Hilary Duff Advocates for Gay Respect

I’m really impressed with Hilary Duff for taking part of an ad campaign to create awareness amongst teenagers about gay bashing. Hilary has signed on with America’s Gay Lesbian & Straight Education Network in a campaign which aims to shame teens into becoming more respectful towards gay people, according to Starpulse.

In the video clip above, two teens describe an ugly dress as “so gay” and Hilary points out:

“You know, you really shouldn’t say that something’s gay when you mean it’s bad - it’s insulting.”

Hilary states:

“Nobody says it meaning to hurt someone’s feelings but it can really make an impact on someone.”

Hilary has earned some respect in my book. Let’s hope that everyone learns that it’s not cool to be homophobic!
