Bono: "Facebook Won't Push Me Into The #1 Spot"

It appears that Paul McCartney's title as world's richest entertainer is secure because Bono states his stake in Facebook will not push him into the number one spot.

 
It has to be noted that Bono was in D.C. this morning to attend a fundraiser for President Obama when a "Washington Times" photog asked about reports that the U2 frontman's $90 million investment into Mark Zuckerberg's social network will be worth $1.5 billion by the end of the day making him the richest rocker on Earth.

It's been widely reported that Bono's investment company, Elevation Partners, bought up 2.3% of the company in 2009.




But Bono didn't seem too stoked about it . In fact, he cast doubt on the entire story. 

What do you think?

Bono: The Richest Rock Star On Planet By 4PM !

Bono will no longer breathe Paul McCartney's fumes in the money department by the close of trading today, he will become the richest rocker in the world, courtesy of Mark Zuckerberg and company.


Bono owns 2.3 percent of Facebook shares, through his investment group, Elevation Partners. The investment will be worth an estimated $1.5 billion by 4 PM ET- not bad for a $90 million investment back in 2009.

It has to be noted that McCartney's fortune is estimated at just a skosh over $1 billion, so Bono will be leaving the surviving Beatle in the dust.

It's a beautiful day, isn't it?

Manny Pacquiao: "I'm Not Against Gay People But Same Sex Marriage Is Against The Law Of God"

Boxing champion Manny Pacquiao has come out swinging against reports that he made anti-gay comments in a recent interview, stating it was a lie the publication made up.


On Tuesday night reportedly Manny was banned from the celebrity friendly outdoor shopping mall "The Grove" in Los Angeles where he was scheduled to tape an interview with "Extra" host Mario Lopez on Wednesday afternoon. 

The ban follows a report that he told the "National Conservative Examiner" that he doesn’t agree with President Barack Obama’s support for same sex marriage and was quoted as reciting Bible verse Leviticus 20:13, which says "if a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." 

The devout Catholic and Congressman in his homeland of the Philippines is now claiming he did not make the inflammatory comments.

"I didn’t say that, that’s a lie…I didn’t know that quote from Leviticus because I haven’t read the Book of Leviticus yet," Manny quoted as saying.



Pacquiao, the first-ever to win titles in eight different weight classes, continued his explanation: "I’m not against gay people… I have a relative who is also gay. We can’t help it if they were born that way. What I’m critical of are actions that violate the word of God. I only gave out my opinion that same sex marriage is against the law of God."

It has to be noted that "The Grove" posted a Tweet banning the boxer on Tuesday night, writing "Boxer Manny Pacquiao is not welcome @TheGroveLA. @TheGroveLA is a gathering place for all Angelenos, not a place for intolerance."

Mario Lopez hasn’t tweeted an update on Manny’s appearance as of Wednesday morning.

However, Bristol Palin, the outspoken daughter of former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, who also recently slammed Obama’s support of same sex marriage, was spotted at "The Grove" on February 18, 2012.


Well, I think that Bristol Palin should be banned from "The Grove" as well...As for Manny, it's more than obvious that he is trying to excuse himself . The question is:" What does he mean by "actions that violate the  word of God" and how is he not against gay people if according to him gay people  are not welcome by God? His gay relative is still alive?" This is so far from the truth. God accepts and loves all people in spite of race, color, sexual orientation etc. God is against any kind of discriminations and loves us all unconditionally...Anyway, God makes no mistakes!

Rihanna Unfollows Chris Brown On Twitter !

It appears that Rihanna has finally had enough of Chris Brown. Rihanna has "unfollowed" her ex-boyfriend on Twitter after he released a new diss track that seems to be aimed at her.


The song in question is a remix of Kanye's TheraFlu , in which Brown freestyles the verse, "Don't f*ck with my old bitches ... like a bad fur ... every industry n*gga done had her."

He continues, "Trick or treat like a pumpkin ... just to smash her."



Hours after Brown released the track last night, Rihanna stopped following Brown on Twitter and one that's leading many to assume Rihanna believes the verse is about her.

A short time later, Brown unfollowed Rihanna


What do you think?


Is it finally over for Rihanna and Chris Brown ?

Demi Lovato Car

Demi Lovato was involved in a minor car accident in May 2011 near her home in Sherman Oaks, California.




Lovato was apparently shaken up but not injured according to witnesses.

Demi reportedly was very responsible and waited over an hour for the owner of the car she hit to arrive on the scene of the fender bender.

It has to be mentioned that Lovato's black Mercedes luxury vehicle suffered scrapes along the driver's side.


Demi had a difficult year at that period of time (rehab due to self-harm issues and eating disorder). The situation was so serious that she had admitted that she quit her job on the Disney show because she could not bare to see her body on television.

Demi Lovato took to Twitter to let fans know that she was ok, but that she had had her first accident today!


    "Today hasn’t started off so great… I was so sleepy this morning I got in my first little accident in my car. :( blahhh"

Then a bit later Demi claimed:

    "To everyone who asked, yes – I’m totally fine! Thank you! Haha just was a huge bummer.. :/"

Demi Lovato Breast

A photo of Demi Lovato sexily pulling down her shirt, while surrounded by her dancers, hit the web in 2010.  



The question is:
Is this photo real or fake?


For those who are not familiar with Demi Lovato, Demi Lovato is a Disney starlet and this scandalous photo that hit the web made many people (especially parents!) furious! The photo, which had been circulating since December 15, has  Demi front and center, pulling her pants down to reveal major cleavage. Meanwhile, her gal pal is taking liberties with Demi’s top, and it appears that she’s really enjoying the show. The crazy thing is that she is the victim of Demi’s airport assault, Alex Welch, popping her head in join the sexy fun.

What makes people wonder is: "Why these girls would take a photo like this?"

We have to admit though that the photo seems legit but who knows for sure? You can't put your finger on it!

Demi Lovato Treatment Center

Demi Lovato, who was on the road with the Jonas Brothers in 2010, made the decision to cancel all her tour appearances. You may wonder why...







Actually, Demi Lovato has checked into a treatment center  according to Demi's rep in order to deal with issues that have evidently been plaguing her for awhile.

"She was in Peru and just couldn't continue," a source told E! News.

"Demi Lovato left her tour early this weekend in order to seek medical treatment for emotional and physical issues she has dealt with for some time," a rep for Lovato quoted as saying.


"Demi has decided to take personal responsibility for her actions and seek help. She is doing just that. She regrets not being able to finish her tour, but is looking forward to getting back to work in the near future."

In case you are wondering which was Demi Lovato's treatment center, the answer is that Demi had received treatment at Timberline Knolls for several months to deal with issues ranging from cutting to eating disorders.

It has to be mentioned that Demi has returned to the treatment center in order to encourage young women to face their problems and deal with them head on. Demi has even tweeted about her return visit to treatment over the weekend.

"Wow what an inspiring day ... Many tears were shed and many memories were brought back at Timberline Knolls today," Demi wrote on her twitter page, a year after she first entered the facility. "Today I went back to the treatment center I went to last year to speak to the beautiful women fighting their inner demons. was so honored."

Lovato has been very honest and allowed people to get to know  her personal journey over the past 12 months and she revealed that speaking at the center was a culmination of that experience.

"To be able to share my story and let them know that it gets easier ... Life is beautiful ... you are worthy of it. Please say a prayer for all of those struggling with eating disorders, self-harm, mood disorders, and substance abuse," Demi claimed.

How inspiring!

Demi Moore : New Twitter Name

Demi Moore finally settled on a new Twitter handle, letting go of the @mrskutcher name that she used to grow popular on the social networking site.




After announcing her divorce from Ashton Kutcher last November, Demi left Twitter for a while. But she recently resurfaced and asked for help in determining a new handle. As of today, Moore decided that her followers will now know her as "justdemi." "So hard finding a name that was fun somewhat playful and available. So for now it will be @justdemi It could grow on me!" she wrote on her account.

It appears that Demi is not so sure about her choice . So it could not be a surprise if she changes her twitter name again. 

What do you think of Demi's new twitter name?

Snooki On Jessica Simpson's Bump !

In spite of the fact that Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi told "Us Weekly" Thursday that she "would die" if she were Jessica Simpson's size, Snooki backtracked via Twitter two days later. "I never dissed Jessica Simpson," Snooki claimed. "I love the girl and her hot ass bump."


Unlike Simpson, who's eaten everything from buttered Pop-Tarts to cantaloupe with salt while pregnant, Snooki is more mindful of her diet. "(Jessica) said she indulged in everything that she wanted," she told Us at the MTV Upfronts in New York. "I'm trying to each healthy -- fruits, lots of jelly and Italian ices. Nothing fattening at all."

Though Simpson, 31, is due any day, Snooki is "five months" along. When she broke the news of her pregnancy and engagement to Jionni LaValle in an "Us Weekly" cover story in March, Snooki admitted she's already had a few strange pregnancy dreams.




"I had a dream I was in labor and my mom induced me with a shot in my shoulder," Snooki revealed. "My old principal was my doctor. You know when you hold in a fart and it hurts? In my dream they were contractions."
 
What do you think of Snooki's  recent statement on Jessica Simpson's size and specifically her bump?
