Oh my god!
I do believe the rumours having it Britney is the most photoshopped star of all time, of the world, for ever.

Oh, come on... Britney, what kind of bullshit is that?! After dumping K-Fed and coming back in grace in the media landscape, EVEN I started finding you sympathetic.
Alas, you completely annihilated any hope by:
Shit, I think you're over. Moreover, even PR people don't want to work with you anymore. Too bad. Right at the moment you need them the most.

Ada read an article saying the United Kingdom was the most cocaine consuming country in Europe. It's?no big surprise given how many people are under drugs when we go clubbing and they are not told anything when they are smoking pot.
The most surprising thing however, is that the article predicted that, should cocaine be stopped from entering the UK, the whole country would go bankrupt! Indeed, most people working in the City (London's business area) are addicted to cocaine. Thus, if they couldn't have cocaine anymore, they would all go cold turkey and the country couldn't be ?un for a while! Would it explain why the country is the biggest economic power in Europe???
The article also said that stoke brokers, who make shitloads of money, are also, curiously, the most into debt of the country! Because of all the money they spend in drugs.
The big dilemma of the country now is, I guess, should we prevent cocaine from entering the country?
Exodus is some kind of an association, rather a firm, that would enable gay men to turn straight ! Their tagline is : "Freedom from homosexuality through the power of Jesus Christ". Their website shows they must earn quite a lot of money. And there's this department "Exodus Youth", which is very scary.
Lately, they've made a campaign saying "Gay ? Unhappy ?", a blogger felt offended and tranformed the ad on his blog. Since then, Exodus demanded that he takes off the image, which he refused. Apparently, Exodus doesn't wanna go to court, fearing they'd have to reveal several suspicious procedures, such as fake statistics to convince member that "it works !", according to Wayne Besen, author of a book uncovering the trickery around the ex-gay myth.

Jamie Oliver is a huge celebrity in England. He's everywhere, in every show, on every magazine, in every ad, mostly in places he has nothing to do there, for the only reason that he's a cook. He's got his own show, releases cooking books, cooking DVDs as well... Lately, he signed a multi-gazillion pounds contract with Sainsbury's (a really famous supermarket chain in UK) to appear in their ads but also on their products : the Jamie Oliver's cooking knife, the Jamie Oliver's paste...
This opportunistic behaviour gets on British people's nerves. For Xmas, he made an ad for Sainsbury's smoked salmon. The thing is some breedings have been claimed to be unhealthy to produce food ! Clarissa Dickson, another famous cook, lately said that "Jamie" had sold his soul to Sainsbury's and that his opportunism makes him a "whore" !
I found it on Sexy Sushi's website. It means "Marie, oh yeah ! Trintignant, oh no !", it's about a terrible scandal that shocked France when the famous actress Marie Trintignant got beaten to death by her famous lover Bertrand Cantat from the band Noir Désir.
Last thursday, I was in London during the terror attacks. It was the very day I has to get back to Paris.
I was lucky because, on thursday morning, I had to go from 8.30 from Ada's place, but as I was late again, I left at 9 (when the first explosion has been reported). I took the bus that lead me to the tube station around 9.30 but, once there, security guys came and told us they were closing the station as there had been an "explosion", nothing more.
I was in deep shit ! I looked for information about buses, but there, public transports are sooooooo rubbish, really badly organized. So a half hour later, I got on a bus but it stopped halfway, as a bus had been targeted by terrorists. So it was 11, the ti;e when my coach was supposed to head to France, but, anyway, they're always late. I was in Notting Hill and there was nothing romantic or comical about it. I asked people around me and then it was clear : there had been several attacks in the tube and the bus network and everything was paralysed. The only way to get to the coach station : the cab ! The only money in my pocket : 4£ !
But I need more than that to stop ("I''m a survivor, I''m gonna make it..."), so I shake my little legs, I take my suitcase and open my brand new map of London to go to Victoria Station. For one hour, I've been walking in London not to miss the coach that would get me back to Paris, while watching the ambulances and the police parading.
Once I was at the coach station, I watched around me to see which one was indicating Paris when suddenly, all the screens displayed : "All services suspended until further notice.". AAAAAAH !!! And that is not cool at all because I didn't know at what time travels would resume, if my ticket was going to be accepted, if I had to sleep here or what, if my mobile was to run out of battery in 20 or 30 minutes...
So I spent 9 hours in the coach station talking with a granny, dying for food whereas some people were having kebabs, keeping on listening to my MP3 reader, trying to call the people I could call because of the obvious network saturation, warning my family, my friends, and stuff. (By the way, I received a message from a friend crying who had just seen the news on TV and worrying for me, oh, she's so cute !!!)
At 8.30, the coach arrived and we left one half hour later. The ferry arrived late too, which means I got home at 8.30 am, the day after. And I had to go to the Solidays the afternoon !!!
However, I shall not complain : I'm alive.
I'm a survivor
I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gonna work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I'm a survivor
keep on survivin' !!!
The Spanish Parliament accepted a law project allowing homosexual marriage and adoption for gays and lesbians. Long life Spain !!! Here, Pedro Zerolo (member of the PSOE, the Spanish Labour, and former president of the FELGT, National Federation of Lesbians, Gays and Transgenders in Spain) with Jesus Santos. Aren't they cute together, seriously ??? ;-)
Have you watched the Sidaction (big show against AIDS) on saturday night ? I have to say I did'nt have anything better to do...! I was leaving it on as "musical background" when suddenly Daniela Lumbroso (yeek!) says the show is interrupted. Flash news : John Paul II is dead, 21h37, blablabla...
I was furious. I couldn't understand how they could have interrupted the Sidaction to talk about a guy who was against condoms ! A few minutes later, Sidaction came back but, from what I understood, it was shortened. France 2 then preferred to talk about a guy who preached barebacking (if I can use strong terms) up to the middle of Africa, where HIV wreaks havoc, instead of respecting their commitment with Sidaction and inciting people to give money to fight the disease.
This weekend, Sidaction only reached 4 million euros, far away from the 7 expected, and the 20 promised at the first Sidaction. What I would have preferred to see this weekend, it's not the dying Pope, it's this picture.
