hanging

Finally found a theme for this site that I like

Well I’m back to trying to change the theme for this website. Again. I hated the theme that I used for most of the last year. It didn’t work properly in some browsers and was finicky.

I think I’ve found a theme with some great features for a Celebrity gossip related blog so I’m working on getting this theme set up for this blog. I’m changing background colors and links etc so you might notice some changes over the next hour or so if you’re reading a few posts.

Be patient and we’ll be back in business with a great new look shortly!

Hilton up to her old ways?

by Tricia

So much for Paris changing her ways. Remember that Larry King interview only a week ago? Right.

Hilton was snapped by paparazzi lounging in Maui a few days ago while vacationing in Hawaii. It looked like she was trying to show the public that she could relax without partying.

Unfortunately the behind the scenes stories are a little different than the public appearance she was trying to pull off. Maui vacationers stated to Page six reporters that she was unwelcome at most of the local resorts.

“Paris tried to check into the Four Seasons first, but they turned her down,” said one guest at that hotel. “She then tried to stay at the Fairmont Kea Lani, but they turned her down, as well. She finally got a place at the Grand Wailea Resort, but that’s because it was a Hilton. We all thought it was hilarious that the Hilton hotel was her third choice.”

Perhaps the hotels were wary of her cozy relationship with photographers. “The paparazzi told us that Paris calls them herself,” said a different source, who claimed a lensman told him, “We love her. She lets us know where she’s going to be so we can take as many pictures as we want.”

The Four Seasons guest reinforced that impression, noting, “She was shopping at the Wailea concourse, strutting around, posing for the cameras. It was disgusting.”

Apparently Hilton got sneaky at night “She slipped out of the hotel and went to the club at the Hyatt a couple of times, She made friends with a couple of local guys and made out with them there. I guess she didn’t want pictures of herself doing that.”

Vacationers state that she hasn’t changed at all.

Hiltons rep has a different story stating that Hilton never checked in at the Grand Wailea. She apparently stayed at a private residence and only kept the company of her ex-boyfriend Stavros Niarchos.

Is Paris changing her ways?

It looks like Paris Hilton might be taking her latest acting role seriously. She hasn’t been out partying and staying out all night lately.

In fact, she’s been deeply into her work and focusing on her acting career since filming began on the film “The Hottie and the Nottie”. Hilton apparently spent 10 hours filming in San Pedro on Wednesday.

Saddam Hussein Dead

by Tricia

CNN is reporting that Saddam Hussein is Dead. He was hanged at 9:55 pm, daybreak in Iraq. he’d been lead to the gallows as early as 9:30 pm est and reporters were milling about waiting for word as to whether he’d been hung. Word came down at 10:06 pm Friday evening.

The dictator is dead.

UPDATE:

At approximately 4:10 a.m. December 30th, CNN began airing video tape acquired from Iraq TV of a portion of Saddams hanging.

He was led to the gallows wearing a dark coat, perhaps a suit coat. He was shackled and handcuffed as he shuffled forward awkwardly. He looked calm and resigned to his fate. He was offered a head covering by the gallows men but he refused to wear it. Instead one of the men placed the head covering around Husseins neck somewhat like a scarf, perhaps to protect his skin. A noose was then placed around his neck and tightened. The video froze with Saddam looking straight ahead as he stood on the gallows waiting for the bottom to drop out and be hanged.

Saddams Hanging to be Televised

by Tricia

The date and timing of Saddams hanging hasn’t been set yet, but as of late Thursday it was said that when he’s turned over by the American Military to the Iraqi Government he’ll be hanged within 36 hours, and hanged before the start of the Muslim holiday on Sunday.

Saddam was convicted in the deaths of 148 people in 1982 earlier this year. Several sources have said that Saddam’s execution would be videotaped by the Iraqi government, though it isn’t clear if this will be released to the public or broadcast live over the networks.

“We will video everything,” Iraqi National Security adviser Mouffak al Rubaie told CBS News.

The Iraqi government released video last Tuesday of the hanging of 13 convicts, so it’s presumed that the hanging of Saddam will eventually be aired. ABC and CBS said they wouldn’t air the full execution if the video became available.

“We’re very aware that we’re coming into people’s living rooms and that there could be children watching,” CBS News senior vp Linda Mason said.

“We have very, very strict guidelines with how to deal with that,” said Bob Murphy, senior vp at ABC News. “If there were pictures made available of the execution, they would have to be viewed by senior management before we would put them on the air, and we would make a judgment of taste and propriety of what we would show.”

CNN and Fox News were still in discussion of what they would do if footage became available. The newly launched Al-Jazeera International network hasn’t stated if it will air the videotapes yet either. Al-Jazeera’s pan-Arab channel has never shown an execution.

What’s your take on this? Would you watch Saddam Hussein?
