Even though i was not all that impressed by parts of Dancing With The Stars last night…i do have to say that in other portions of the show i was pleasantly surprised. I did not appreciate the constant references of Little Kim of her time in prison on a family show. It came across [...]

I recently read a story about a young woman in San Diego; I won’t mention her name, as i really don’t want to give her any more notoriety than she has already created for herself. Not to mention, I personally hope that she changes her mind about her decision to sell her virginity to [...]
