Kim Kardashian Silver Paint 'Art' Photos, Soon to Be Another Regret?
January 31, 2011 04:51 PM

Kim Kardashian appeared on the cover of "W" magazine nude back in November, 2010. Inside the magazine Kardashian was covered in silver paint. The photos are once again a top Google trend because they were featured on "Kourtney and Kim Take New York" on E.

According to a post at Babble, Kardashian showed off her butt and boobs in the "Art Issue" of W magazine. Interestingly enough, Kim had just recently been upset about Playboy photo's that were released from 2007.  She expressed regret for having done the Playboy photos.  Will Kim Kardashian Silver Paint photos soon be an additional regret for the 30-year-old socialite?

While the photos do appear rather risque, there have been photos depicting much more graphic content in the name of art. If she were really so bothered about having nude photos of her floating around -- why allow more to be taken, even if they are within the context of "art."

Remember Alex Brown: Emma Roberts and Justin Bieber join 'Extreme Makeover Home Edition' in support of safe driving


Starlet Emma Roberts ditched the awards show glam and joined Justin Bieber and NASCAR stars Carl Edwards and Greg Biffle to appear on ABC Sunday's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" in honor of the Remember Alex Brown Foundation, a nonprofit organized after 17-year-old Alexandra Brown rolled her pickup truck and died on her way to school. She was texting and driving.

After being alerted that her daughter hadn't made it to school, Alex's mother Jeannie drove out to find the wreck of the truck. "Although no other vehicles were involved, Alex was not alone," she writes on the Foundation's official website. "The cell phone on which she had sent and receive over 10,000 text messages in the weeks preceding her accident was with her."

Volunteers arrived at the Brown home in Lubbock, TX to rebuild their home - now occupied by the remaining three family members, Jeanne, Johnny Mac, and Alex's 12-year-old sister Katrina a year after Alex's death.

"If Alex was here and seeing all this she would be so excited for us," Katrina told reporters. "She'd be like, 'I'm so glad y'all are getting this! Y'all are doing good. Keep going.'"

The Browns decided to start the Remember Alex Brown Foundation the day she died. "I chose to do it that day at the hospital," her father says. "We have to put the [wrecked] truck on a trailer and we have to go to schools and tell people about the dangers of texting and driving."

"Extreme Makeover" asked Roberts to join in for two reasons. "She's an incredible young actress," said Ty Pennington, "and she's a teen so she understands how big of an epidemic texting and driving is."

"After hearing Alex's story I just think texting and driving is really a problem," Roberts says. "To hear that this happened to someone so young -- that really kind of was a little bit of a wake-up call. I have a nine year old sister and to think of her losing me, or me losing her -- I can't even comprehend that."
Is Whitney Houston Pregnant: Why Did This Rumor Start?

Seriously people, do you really think Whitney Houston is having another baby?

There are new rumors that Whitney Houston could be pregnant. But the odds that she is are doubtful. She is forty-seven, has reportedly battled with substance abuse issues, and she is a mother to her sixteen year old daughter Bobbi.  So why did these rumors start?

Recent photos of Whitney Houston have shown a more full-figured Whitney. But there may be a reason why she is bigger, and it doesn’t have anything to do with being pregnant.

One rumor that is swirling about is that she had a sudden weight gain from steroid injections for a respiratory infection. The other is that the after effects of becoming clean and sober attributed to the weight gain.

Do you think there is a chance she could be pregnant or is it just another silly fake baby bump rumor?

 Mark Zuckerberg Elected TIME Person of the Year 
 
 Rohan Naravane, Dec 16, 2010 1325 hrs IST

 Also, Facebook is named as the "best place to work"

Yesterday, the prestigious TIME magazine released its choice for the TIME Person of the Year accolade - Mark Zuckerberg. You better know the name of this man, as there's a one-twelfth chance that you might be using his product. We're of course talking about Facebook - the social networking mega-site that seeks to connect people over the internet. The article talks about Zuckerburg's journey from being a 19 year old college student at the Harvard University, where he started it as a pet-project, to the current success of Facebook. The recently released movie 'The Social Network' captures the same story of Mark Zuckerberg.

As of today, Facebook has 550 million registered users. One out of every twelve people on the planet has a Facebook account. It's a double-whammy moment for Mark, who not only has a personal recognition but it is also reported side-by-side that Facebook is named as the "best place to work". A part of this is encompassed in the TIME's write-up where it states that there aren't any special offices for people higher-up in the company; there aren't any cubicles as well.  


This is probably one of the rare times when Facebook is actually in news for good. It otherwise has been thrashed on many a regular occasion - from unlawful user data usage to deleted photos still being accessible among a lot more. According to a survey, people don't trust Facebook but cannot help themselves in avoiding its usage.


Way to go Mark, you have created one heck of an addictive substance.

Police have tightened security hours before key suspects in the 2007 post election violence are named by the International Criminal Court.

While urging the public to remain calm after the names are revealed at The Hague, Police Commissioner Mathew Iteere said heavy deployment had been made in areas that were worst affected by the chaos.

“Concerns have been made from several quarters that this event will ignite violence in some parts. We assure the public that we have made adequate security arrangements in all areas of the country to forestall any eventuality,” he said.

The police chief alluded to intelligence reports saying “criminal elements planned to take the opportunity to break the law".

He warned that his officers would deal with perpetrators “firmly and swiftly".

Politicians were also asked to handle the outcome of The Hague announcement in the interest of security, stability and rule of law in the country.

Notices warning of planned demonstrations was sent to provincial police commands and other formations of the police last week.

The reports mention the Rift Valley as a hot spot, but commanders across the country had been ordered to be on the lookout.

The briefs further warn in the event demonstrators turn rowdy, officers should be restrained from confronting them with live ammunition.

Intelligence officers, police sources said, have for months been gathering information covertly in areas that were hit by the violence with the aim of establishing if there are threats of fresh violence.

At the same time, Provincial Security and Intelligence Committees were asked to seek politicians, who would turn reach out to their supporters and advise them against causing chaos.

The Nation learnt that besides the regular duty police officers, contingents of the administration police and the General Service Unit have been put on notice for the task.

In a pointer that eruption of chaos was not anticipated, massive deployments that include other armed government agencies to boost the police force, have been avoided this time round.

Prisons boss Isaiah Osugo said his department is always ready to supply the extra force but the police had not placed the request.

The law mandates the police commissioner to gazette any person to assume police powers and duties, especially to meet a shortfall.

President Kibaki  directed police and the National Cohesion and Integration Commission to deal firmly with  individuals engaging in hate speech while addressing Kenyan during Jamhuri Day celebrations.
