Thanks to all with more knowledge for explaining this all to me!!!

One other thing that I thought of...Smeagal came by the ring via
murder. The others did not. So perhaps he was "tainted" from the
onset....?

Obviously still mulling this all over, but it makes so much more sense
now. Thanks again!

Reminds of the comment from Tom Arnold when he once described himself and
Roseanne as "America's worst nightmare-white trash with money."

You know Quator, for a guy who accuses others of changing direction and

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I know people who have. The reviews
have all been that Beyonce was just OK and Jennifer Hudson is amazing.
This site has about 13 short clips from the movie up and from them my
review would be that Beyonce was terrible and Jennifer Hudson is
amazing.

Let's face it, beating the bookie is tough...
It's a scandal... They collect the money, then drop the odds seconds
before the race starts, leaving you and the rest of the punters, out of
pocket or short changed... even if you did pick the winner!
Margins are tight enough without giving away your hard earned cash to
greedy bookmakers or self appointed guru's for "insider information"
with no proof or guarantee the horse will actually win... It's easy to
run up a 100 phone bill calling a tipster every day for one or two
winners a week.
Sound familiar?
Statistically around 30 to 40 percent of all favorites usually win, yet
still the bookies rake in more cash than most of the punters put
together... they just don't care if the the favorites win or lose!
In less than 10 minutes a day this Almost-Magical Software can easily
provide you with a full time income starting from scratch.
It doesn't matter if you're currently unemployed or earn a six figure
income, because I'm NOT talking about "lay" betting on losers or
arbitrage were you practically have to remortgage your home to see a
decent profit.

If you have some scoop (and can figure out how to not top post) please
let us know! I think Beyonce looks EXACTLY like Tina Knowles (as does
Solange and they all look alike) so I can't imagine what you're trying

Wesley Snipes Arrested
Posted Dec 8th 2006 10:05AM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned Wesley Snipes has been arrested and taken into custody by
federal authorities.

The actor was arrested Friday morning after arriving at Orlando
International Airport. Snipes said he was a scapegoat and unfairly targeted
by prosecutors in connection with a federal tax fraud investigation.

Snipes had been shooting a movie in Namibia.

The "White Men Can't Jump" star is accused of failing to pay nearly $12
million in taxes. Officials allege that Snipes fraudulently claimed refunds
in 1996 and 1997, and then failed to file returns between 1999 and 2006.

E. coli outbreak now in 7 states; agencies zero in on Taco Bell
POSTED: 10:22 a.m. EST, December 8, 2006

2006
Story Highlights· NEW: Outbreak now in seven states; Utah, South
Carolina latest additions
· NEW: Investigators focusing on Taco Bell, CDC says
·At least 35 hospitalized; one lawsuit has been filed

>From Caleb Silver
Adjust font size:
NEW YORK (CNN) -- As many as 84 people in seven states have been
confirmed as having the strain of E. coli bacteria involved in an
outbreak that may be linked to Taco Bell restaurants, officials said
Friday.

South Carolina and Utah are the latest states to report outbreaks of
the illness. State and federal agencies are still trying to pin down
the source, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the
vast majority of the reported cases have eaten at Taco Bell restaurants
prior to their illness.

Dr. Greg Braden of the CDC told CNN that his agency and state health
departments have not seen any other sources of the illness and are
zeroing in on Taco Bell and its suppliers of green onions.

"We have some leads to say that it might be green onions, and that's
based upon some preliminary testing that's been done in a number of
laboratories right now, but the testing has not been confirmed, so
we're keeping the options open, and the investigations that we're doing
will be covering a wide range of foods, all of them served at Taco Bell
specifically," Braden said.

On a voice recording for consumers looking for more information on E.
coli, Taco Bell says, "Many of the people who reported becoming ill did
not eat at Taco Bell."

Representatives for the company could not be reached Friday to confirm
the number of cases that had been directly linked to food served at its
restaurants.

On Wednesday, Taco Bell said it had ordered the removal of all green
onions from its 5,800 outlets nationwide, after three samples tested by
an independent laboratory were found to be positive for E. coli.

Food suppliers in focus
New Jersey health officials have focused attention on a food
distribution warehouse in Burlington, and urged all Taco Bell locations
that received shipments from there to "discard all current food
supplies and clean and sanitize their facilities." Taco Bell would not
confirm that the warehouse, operated by McLane Foodservice Inc., was
being investigated.

Ready Pac, a food distribution company that supplies Taco Bell's
Northeast operations through a processing plant in Florence, New
Jersey, says it stopped producing and shipping green onions to the
restaurant's franchises on Wednesday following reports of the outbreak.

The company said in a statement that it is working with regulatory
agencies and industry experts to determine the source of the bacteria.

Boskovich Farms in Oxnard, California, is a main provider of green
onions to Taco Bell, but the company says it has not been contacted by
the FDA or any government agencies although it is aware of the E. coli
outbreak. The company said in a statement that it is working closely
with Taco Bell and Ready Pac to pinpoint the source of the bacteria.

E. coli cases -- first reported November 29 in New Jersey, followed by
others in New York and Pennsylvania -- now have appeared in Delaware,
Connecticut, South Carolina and Utah, according to the CDC. Interviews
with the victims showed that most of the first 58 people who became ill
had eaten at Taco Bells.

As of Thursday, the FDA said at least 35 people have been hospitalized
with the same E. coli strain since the outbreak, some in serious
condition.

At least one lawsuit relating to the outbreak has been filed against
Taco Bell. The lawsuit was filed late Wednesday by the family of an
11-year-old Long Island, New York, boy, Tyler Vormittag. It claims the
boy contracted E. coli after eating at a Taco Bell on November 24 in
Riverdale, New York.

"When a restaurant serves food, there is the presumption that it is
safe for human consumption," said the family's attorney, Andrew Siben.
"Taco Bell breached that duty when serving Mr. Vormittag a taco."

The damages being sought will depend on the extent of injury to the
fifth-grader, Siben said. The suit was filed in State Supreme Court in
Suffolk County.

Calls to Taco Bell to update the status of its investigation and to
obtain reaction to the lawsuit have not been returned.

NY DAILY NEWS/By KRISSY MAC

After the scandalous, shocking splits for Kate, Reese, Britney and Pam
(who says blonds have more fun?), Hollywood seems to be catching its
breath this week. We have a variety of cover subjects including
Angelina, the possible drug use among Hollywood's starlets (possible?
really?) and, of course, the continuing coverage of Britney's downward
spiral.

Here's what the mags are saying this week ...

# It's funny how we all thought Britney couldn't sink any lower than
K-Fed. Then she found Paris, and we realized we were wrong.

# Us Weekly says that Brit's parents have staged an intervention to
stop her from drinking too much and generally behaving stupidly. I'm
hoping they used the argument, "Do as we say and not as we do."

# J.Lo wants to renew her vows with Marc Anthony and celebrate with an
elaborate party. I think she's just going through wedding withdrawal,
since she's accustomed to having one every year or so.

# I'm sorry, but if you can get 21% of the vote against Petra Nemcova
in a "Who Wore It Best" contest, it's a win in my book.

# Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson have split. Apparently, the second
season of their romance was about as successful as the second season of
"The O.C."

# Eva LongBORia and Tony Parker got engaged. Yawn. I'm already sick of
this wedding. And their upcoming pregnancy, divorce and custody battle.

# In Touch says that Brad and Angelina are getting ready to settle down
in L.A., so Maddox can finally go to school. He'll be a sophomore.

# Who still wears fur? It's so last Stone Age.

# Star reports that Sandra Bullock is pregnant at the age of 42. The
"age of 42" part is definitely true; the rest of the story remains
unconfirmed.

# Pete Doherty was fined and his driver's license was suspended after
his umpteenth arrest for drug possession. Does anyone else feel like
the justice system is failing with this guy?

# Lindsay Lohan's rep confirms that the star is attending AA meetings,
but that she hasn't completely stopped drinking. After her last
meeting, Linds attended the GQ Awards and rewarded herself with a glass
of Champagne and a feud with Jessica Biel.

# Keith Urban is out of rehab and back to being boring.

# Gwyneth is getting heat for reportedly saying (in Spanish) that
British people are smarter than Americans. She denies it and claims
that what she really said was "lost in translation." She meant to say
that British people are more intelligent than Americans.

# Danny DeVito appeared wasted on "The View." Literally. He appeared on
the show and he was wasted. It's "The View" ... who could blame him?

# George Clooney later explained on the "Today" show that he and Danny
were out together the night before doing shots of Limoncello and that
it was a "brutal night." I don't know, getting wasted with George
Clooney doesn't sound brutal to me at all.

# Mel Gibson commented on the Kramer incident saying, "I feel really
bad for the guy. He was obviously in a state of stress. You don't need
to be inebriated to be bent out of shape. But my heart went out to the
guy." Oh, I bet it did, Mel. "Bent out of shape"? Is that what we're
calling "hurling racial slurs" these days?

# Has anyone noticed that Suri's hair looks suspiciously like Tom's?
Like maybe they said, "This baby doesn't look anything like him ... get
her a toupee!" I'm just saying it's possible.

# Eddie Murphy and Scary Spice have broken up. Now he's claiming that
the baby she is carrying may not be his. Yeah, because his six kids
show how careful he is about birth control.

# Hilary Duff's ex (of like a minute) has already moved on with Nicole
Richie. He fits her type of quiet, dark and rockish and she fits his of
... really, really skinny.

# Someone tell Dakota Fanning that she is old enough for a stylist.

# Why is Cate Blanchett playing Bob Dylan in the biopic "I'm Not
There"? I'm not getting it. Is this high art?

# Next week we will have full coverage of the Jennifer Aniston/Vince
Vaughn breakup. I'm sure it will go something like this: "Jennifer
Aniston and Vince Vaughn's reps confirm that the couple has ended their
relationship but continue to care about each other and remain close
friends. And Jen is totally FINE."

Our heartfelt condolences go out to George Clooney on the loss of his
dearly departed pig, Max - the only living thing to which he has been
able to fully commit. We're sorry for your loss, George.

Words I taught my spell check include: Limoncello.

Signing off with a quote:

"I'm not going to be somebody who wants to hold on to my fame for the
rest of my life." - Shania Twain

Good thing. Um ... what was your name again?

NY DAILY NEWS/By CAROLYN HINSEY editor of Soap Opera Weekly.

The stolen diamond pops up again next week on "As the World Turns,"
causing big trouble for the ones who originally purloined it, Simon and
Carly.

"Simon and Carly threw the real diamond off a cliff into the Oakdale
River," says Maura West, who plays Carly. "The diamond went into some
kind of flowing Oakdale water. But of course, as only happens in TV and
movies, someone finds this gem and it ends up coming back around
through Carly and Jack's daughter Sage. She decides that it's going to
be the sun in her science project."

Next stop? The science fair, where the real diamond is front and center
for all the world to see. That includes Sage's daddy, Jack, who is the
cop on the case trying to find it.

"Some real twists of fate had to happen for this to blow up in Carly
and Simon's faces like this," says West. "They see the diamond at the
science fair and freak out: 'Here it is again!' "

All the bumbling duo can think of is try to get rid of it again.

"Simon puts it in a hazardous waste bin at the hospital," says West,
laughing, "but then a janitor finds it and gives it to Doctor Bob. Who
I'm sure gives it to Kim, which Katie sees and then ... you really have
to pay attention to this one!"

Speaking of Katie, she gets the bright idea to break into Carly's house
to search for the diamond, and ends up trapped while Carly and Simon
fool around on the couch. But she does indeed find what she thinks is
the sought-after stone.

"She steals the fake diamond," says West. "Simon had a fake diamond
made so that Carly wouldn't worry if somebody took it and tested it.
It's tested and it turns out to be fake, which helps Carly and Simon.
They're like, 'See? It's a fake. Leave us alone. We didn't do anything
wrong.' "

Oh, but they did. What will the James Bond-ish thief and his blond moll
have to do to get out of this mess?

"I have no clue," says West. "I'm always on the, 'Don't ask, don't
tell' policy. I never go and ask what my next story is going to be,
because I've always been happy here. I always have something cool to
do."

West goes on maternity leave soon to have her fourth child, so look for
the jewel-heist story line to explode in a way that will force the
popular character to leave town in January.

"I'm assuming something nice and juicy will fall into my lap when I
come back," says West. "Or maybe Michael Park [Jack] will fall back
into my lap. I loved Jack and Carly's marriage, and I miss it. I miss
working with Michael - and I'm not just saying that because he's
sitting right here."

Comings and goings: Paul Michael Valley (ex-Ryan, "Another World") is
joining "Guiding Light" next week as Cal, who meets Reva at a singles'
event for cancer survivors. ... Tracey E. Bregman crosses her "Young
and Restless" character, Lauren, over to "The Bold and the Beautiful"
in mid-January. ... Former "St. Elsewhere" star Bonnie Bartlett
(ex-Ellen Craig) pops up on "General Hospital" as Spinelli's
grandmother on Monday.

Don't touch that dial: Robin moves in with Patrick Monday on "General
Hospital" (ABC, 3 p.m.). Too bad it's to care for him after the surgeon
gets hurt in a fight with Coleman.
