Actor, Hector Penate, is claiming to have engaged in a sexual affair with, Shawn Southwick, the wife of CNN late night talk show host, Larry King. Last week, Southwick alleged King has been cheating on her with her sister, Shannon Engemann, citing this claim in their recently announced divorce.
Shannon Engemann
Penate's claims are clearly Larry King's response to his wife's infidelity claims against him. However, two wrongs certainly do not make a right. One wonders how this scandal is playing out privately, regarding the effect it is having on their kids.
Larry King divorce: King and Shawn Southwick second thoughts, again
CNN's Larry King has been the focus of a possible divorce from his wife Shawn Southwick. While reports have Shawn Southwick fuming over King's alleged gift-buying for her sister, and today a new TMZ blog entry explains the two are reconsidering the divorce idea, it's clear they've had a stormy relationship.
In 2008, the blog appropriately named The Dailystab reported that Shawn Southwick King was rumored to have been caught cheating on Larry King with a then-29-year old actor named Hector Penate; Shawn was 48 and Larry King 74 at the time, and were married for 11 years...
Beyonce And Lady Gaga's lesbian artwork for their song and video "Telephone"
CNN originally reported that MTV banned Lady Gaga and Beyonce's sick new video "Telephone" due to its explicit content. Today, MTV is challenging that report. The Music Television Network stated they never banned the raunchy, inappropriate video.
The CNN employee assumed, because the video was so highly inappropriate for respectable viewing hours, the clip was automatically banned from the network.
Beyonce has repulsed her dwindling fan base with the "Telephone" video, as many of her audience is stating she is a hypocrite for calling herself a Christian, yet participating in something so debauched and ungodly, due to the fact, the music video with Lady Gaga contains nudity, lesbianism, gratuitous violence, profanity and mass murder.
When will they learn - Beyonce does not worship God, she worships money and fame. It will be her downfall, as she has broken the law to obtain more money and fame.
Previously, on February 18, 2010, in the Madonna Is Jealous Of Lady Gagaarticle, theJudiciary Report noted that Madonna had put Lady Gaga up to dressing like her during her "Vogue" days, for a stage performance, where the younger singer fell down on stage twice (and that Gaga had joined the Kabablah cult at Madonna's insistence).
This week's debut of Lady Gaga and Beyonce's video "Telephone" revealed Gaga dressed like Madonna again, as a favor to the leech that has latched on to her. Even mainstream publications have noted it this week.
According to a credible source privy to what transpired, as reported several weeks ago on this site, Madonna is afraid of her falling fame and seeks to remind audiences of who she was when she was popular and that is the root of her "pestering" Lady Gaga to dress up like her, during her heyday that is long gone.
When you think about it, that's pretty pathetic. Some people don't know when to call it a day. Madonna has been angrily whining to industry insiders that "her career can't be over" when her record sales say it is done.
She has troubled many an industry personnel regarding several artists she sees as rival, either asking them to limit their exposure in the form of less publicity (TV, magazines, news websites, blogs and airplay) or attach her name to PR items regarding them.
There is one editor that got tired of Madonna sending over articles regarding Angelina Jolie with her name (Madonna) embedded in the piece for publication.
She kept using her ex-husband Guy Ritchie's tie to Brad Pitt, as a form of name dropping connecting her to Jolie and in other instances, exploiting the African adoption angle, in pairing her name with Angelina's for greater PR visibility, riding on the actress' coattails.
By Mary Papenfuss| Posted Mar 15, 10 4:42 AM CDT - (Newser) – Is MTV growing chicken in its old age, or was it all a big misunderstanding? Fox News and CNN reported that the steamy new Lady Gaga-Beyoncé music video (watch here) for Telephone was too hot to handle for MTV, which reportedly pulled it Saturday. But MTV officials immediately denied the reports, with one tweeting: "The reports are false... the video's been airing."
Maybe MTV just had a commercial change of heart after the 9-minute video grabbed more than 12 million views on YouTube.
According to a veteran whale trainer, interviewed by CNN today, whales become "neurotic" when in captivity. I agree with this opinion, as they are ferocious creatures that are essentially being confined. What were the whales' crimes to be confined, other than wearing white after Labor Day.
Tillikum, the whale responsible for the death of SeaWorld trainer, Dawn Brancheau, has been in captivity for 30 years, after being captured off the coast of Iceland. He's clearly been getting tired of it and lashing out via violence, which spelled three deaths in separate incidents.
It was reported he shook Brancheau violently. He was clearly angry. Park visitors also reported yesterday, the whales were not cooperating before the incident transpired, refusing to follow instructions during the show.
This supports the Judiciary Report's claim from two days ago that such wild animals do not like being told what to do. They are only cooperative at times, because they are captive and feel they have no choice, if they wish to be fed and cared for.
However, Tillikum is being kept confined at SeaWorld for money, as he is worth millions to the company. Once again, the Judiciary Report is not knocking SeaWorld, but the whales should not be in captivity. God did not design them for it.
Biologists: Killer whales 'neurotic' in captivity
February 25, 2010 9:25 p.m. EST - ...Spectators who had attended the whale show before Brancheau was killed reported that the whales were not behaving -- "they weren't following instructions," Lori Miller, SeaWorld visitor, said.
This suggests that the whales had something going on socially among themselves, Ventre said. "It's probably reasonable to suspect that something going on amongst the whales themselves may have triggered the frustration," he said.
Ventre speculated that there may be more restrictions placed on who can work with the whale, but it's unclear whether much can be done -- someone still has to feed Tilikum 300 pounds of fish a day, administer medication and perform other daily tasks with the animal. Tilikum is also part of an artificial insemination program, which means someone has to roll him over and extract sperm from him.
"This is one of the inherent risks of working with animals like orcas or elephants, or walruses or even California sea lions," he said. "This kind of stuff happens."
In the February 24. 2010 Column, I stated the tragic death of Seaworld trainer, Dawn Brancheau, 40, was due to, "A killer whale living up to its name" in violently shaking her in a death grip at the aquarium, after snatching her off the edge of a tank.
Apparently, Seaworld does not agree with me, as they stated a day later on CNN, "To mark him (Tillikum) as a killer is unfair." I didn't mark the whale a killer, someone else did in affixing the world "killer" to the species name and with good reason.
Once is an accident, not three times, as Tillikum has been blamed for the deaths of two other people, in addition to Brancheau, who must have been terrified when she realized what was happening to her, during the tragic incident. That was a terrible way to die.
I'm not knocking Seaworld, as they've brought joy to many kids with their shows, just pointing out what is the obvious in a hazard to human life. Tillikum got tired of performing the show.
I don't dislike the animal either, as I think they are beautiful creatures, but one has to understand them for who they are and the danger they pose to humans.
It's difficult to domesticate a wild animal (why some women don't realize that before they marry gigolos is another mystery).
SeaWorld trainer died from traumatic injuries, drowning, officials say
February 25, 2010 - Rescuers were not immediately able to reach Brancheau because of the "whale's aggressive nature," the sheriff's office said.
A witness told CNN affiliate WKMG-TV that the whale approached the glass side of the 35-foot-deep tank at Shamu Stadium, jumped up and grabbed Brancheau by her waist, shaking her so violently that her shoe came off. A SeaWorld employee, who asked not to be identified, described the incident the same way.
Tilikum has been linked to two other deaths...
A spokesman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals called the death "a tragedy that didn't have to happen."
Jaime Zalac said the organization had called on SeaWorld "to stop confining oceangoing mammals to an area that to them is like the size of a bathtub, and we have also been asking the park to stop forcing the animals to perform silly tricks over and over again. It's not surprising when these huge, smart animals lash out."...
"This is the first time in 46 years that we've ever had an incident like this with a trainer," he said. Although Tilikum is large and has to be handled carefully, "to mark him as a killer is unfair."
This is a follow up to the February 15. 2010 article Obama Talks About Being A One Term President. The next day on February 16. 2010, CNN conducted a poll, which revealed 52% of Americans believe U.S. President, Barack Obama, does not deserve a second term in office. This does not bode well for him at all, as more people think he should not be reelected, than those who think he should be.
His Hollywood styleof governing, coupled with terribly poor choices from overspending to legal violations by the FBI and DOJ, are tanking his presidency in one year flat. He needs to correct this, as no one believes an incumbent does not want a second term.
On his current path, he is going to spend the federal government into bankruptcy, if this does not desist. There will be no money for federal agencies and America will be rendered completely weakened and in mass poverty.
This Hollywood styled presidency of spend, spend, spend is going to financially break the U.S. government, as any historian knows, no empire ever survived widespread reckless spending, intact. It always comes at a price.
Clearly, some failed to learn from former President George W. Bush, who spent, spent, spent on a reckless, deceitful war, whose objective was to steal the greatest known oil reserves in the world in Iraq. Former Vice President, Dick Cheney, even admitted it. So did Bush, claiming, "The oil would pay for the war." It ended in the terrible financial collapse of 2008 and said administration leaving office in utter disgrace.
The American people deserve better than that. For every person in America that goes to work honestly each work week and pays their taxes, they do not deserve for poor leadership to destroy all they’ve worked for, eroding the country with wantonly bad choices.
CNN poll: 52% say Obama doesn't deserve reelection in 2012
By Michael O'Brien - 02/16/10 01:35 PM ET - 52 percent of Americans said President Barack Obama doesn't deserve reelection in 2012, according to a new poll.
44 percent of all Americans said they would vote to reelect the president in two and a half years, less than the slight majority who said they would prefer to elect someone else.
Obama faces a 44-52 deficit among both all Americans and registered voters, according to a CNN/Opinion Research poll released Tuesday. Four percent had no opinion.
