Amber Portwood Released From Jail, Has a Lot on Plate
1 year ago
Amber Portwood has been released from jail. She got sprung yesterday.
The troubled Teen Mom star was placed back behind bars last week after violating the terms of her probation by failing to appear in an Indiana court.
The 22-year-old allegedly lied about a medical condition to get out of a drug test. Her probation officer called the bluff, asking her doctor directly.
Some very sleepy-eyed Amber Portwood mug shots soon followed.
How’s the reality star feeling now that she’s back on the other side?
“OK,” Amber told E! News. “Just hustling. I’ve got a lot on my plate.”
Naturally.

More >Florida Presidential Debate: Ron Paul Edition!
1 year ago
We counted 21 questions for Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich at last night’s GOP debate in Florida, with 12 for Rick Santorum, and a mere eight for Ron Paul.
To a point, we get that this is influenced by results and polling … but on the flip side, aren’t results and polling likely to be based on amount of exposure?
Why not give candidates equal free media exposure at the debates?
It’s not like these are fringe guys really. Ron Paul has a strong third and second place finish and polls in double digits everywhere; Santorum won Iowa.
Makes no sense. Fortunately, we came across this highlight

1 year ago
Despite two strong finishes in as many races, Ron Paul has been derided as unelectable, even dangerous in his bid for the GOP presidential nomination by many critics.
Such criticism of Paul stems not from Democrats, but from Republican pundits and political figures – something U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina is upset by.
DeMint, whose state holds a critical primary Saturday, says it’s time to start taking Paul, his views and the contingent of supporters he has assembled seriously.
This isn’t just lip service, either. In a series of interviews, including this one on the Laura

1 year ago
Saying he “let my words get the best of me”, Soulja Boy wrote an apology letter today after coming under heavy fire for perceived anti-military lyrics.
While a line like “F**k the Army troops” is open to some interpretation … it’s clear what the message was in his recently-released rap, “Let’s Be Real.”
In any case, the star just posted a blog entitled titled, “I Am Deeply Sorry To All Members Of The United States Military Services And Their Families.”
Several military vets lashed out against Soulja Boy after he released the rap. One former sergeant even released his own rap dissing the

2 years ago
[HMG Celebrity News] – In the 22-months since his momentous election President Obama has attracted both fans and foes of equal commitment. But few are more passionate about change than Bruce Springsteen. And the Boss thinks the whole of DC is ‘ugly.’
The 61-year old musical icon has been a high-profile supporter of Mr. Obama and his plans for reform since day one, but he hates the way critics use “the most extreme language” to describe plans for quite modest change.
“There’s a political consciousness that’s perhaps deeper in Europe than in the States,” he told Britain’s Telegraph. “The
