New Orleans Saints Win Their First Super Bowl – Romantics everywhere – with the possible exception of Indiana – got the result they wanted in Super Bowl XLIV as the New Orleans Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts 31-17. Mardi Gras came early as the team from the Bayou City, appearing in the Super Bowl for the first time, surprised the favourites, twice coming from behind to win. [timesuk]
Dungarees Are Back, Girls! – There is no bigger turn on for a man than a topless woman wearing dungarees to cover her tabs. Side-view preferably. Arguably a “love or hate them” item, dungas do have their fashion charm beyond toddler domain, especially when worn with a semi-sheer voile blouse or supremely pretty camisole and natural tan heels. It’s natural territory for Ralph Lauren, who fashioned them in love-worn denim with a lose and baggy cut. [vogue]
New iPhone App Cures Acne And Improves Wrinkles – A new app called ‘AcneApp’ claims that it can cure acne and even improve wrinkles. How, you ask? it will project either red or blue light onto your face, which will, supposedly, kill bacteria and promote collagen growth. The dermatologist-developed treatment uses 420 nanometer blue light (which has antibacterial properties) and 550 nanometer red light (which is anti-inflammatory) to help your complexion.

ANC Leader Putting Out Murder Hits On Government Officials – A 25-yeal-old contract killer has accused an influential ANC leader in Mpumalanga of offering him R100000 and a cushy government job if he poisoned government officials who were blocking access to tenders linked to the 2010 soccer World Cup. Well that’s fair enough – they were in the way, they had to go.. [sundaytimes]
Cape Town Tens A “Raging Success” – I may have been spotted at the venue on two of the three day, but massive respect goes out to the boys and girls who did the triple! Saturday night was obviously the highlight with the likes of Me and Mr. Brown killing it on stage, and me and some smoking hot angels killing it on the dance floor of the tent. Get all the stories and HOT pics at [capetowntens]
Palin Punishes Obama, “How’s that hope-y, change-y stuff workin’ out for you?” – This convention was slated to be the weekend’s main event, but the organizers still hadn’t seen a copy of the speech as the crowd streamed into the banquet ballroom. What they got was less a Tea Party manifesto than Sarah Palin’s State of the Union speech. [dailybeast]
Tiger Woods Leaves Rehab, Fetched By Elin – He’s out! Tiger has completed his stint at rehab and is on his way out of Mississippi to see his two children for the first time in more than a month. The sex maniac lived in a simple cabin at rehab, attending group therapy sessions and undergoing individual counseling. Now he’s determined to get his life back, and that includes staying married to Elin and returning to the PGA tour. [radar]
Millions Of Websites To Be Censorsed As Australian Gov. Bans Small Breasts – The Australian Government has banned small breasts and female ejaculation in adult material. The ban (RC) on small breasted women in adult publications has been made by the Australian Classification Board allegedly on the grounds that such images could be construed as child pornography.

Teenage Spanish Matador Kills Six Bulls – A 16-year-old Spanish matador killed six bulls in one afternoon Saturday, pulling off a feat normally attempted only by seasoned veterans and winning trophies for his skill—ears from animals he had just slain. Jairo Miguel Sanchez Alonso smiled broadly and waved to a friendly hometown crowd after a pageant that took about two and a half hours. Good times. [breitbart]
President Zuma, King Henry VIII ver. 2.0 – One day, when historians set out to write the book about the life of Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma, they will no doubt compare it with that of another larger-than-life historical figure, King Henry VIII. Like King Henry VIII, President Jacob Zuma is accumulating wives at a furious rate. But unlike the monogamous Henry VIII, who was faced with the uncomfortable duty of disposing of his wives, Jacob is having them all together. [dailymaverick]
Kim Jong il Gets Soft – Looking pale and drawn, Robert Park, an American missionary headed home Saturday after North Korea released him from six weeks’ detention for crossing its border on Christmas Day to protest religious suppression in the totalitarian regime. I’m gobsmacked. I don’t know what has got into Kim Jong il. How can the inspiration for nearly every Bond villian get so goddamn soft? [associated]
Emma Watson Is The Highest Paid Actress In Hollywood – Emma Watson made more money last year than any other actress in the world. The Harry Potter star banked over $30 million from acting and modeling jobs; she has worked on ad campaigns for Burberry and People Tree. Watson ranked 14th on Vanity Fair’s list of Hollywood’s top moneymakers. Not bad for a lightie. [vanityfair]
Jessica Alba Upset About Woman Getting Surgery To Look Like Her – This Chinese woman, Xiaoqing (pronounce that however you want) is giving in to her ex-boyfriend’s wish for her to be/look more like Jessica Alba and is getting surgery to hopefully win him back. No spice. Now Jessica Alba has heard about it and doesn’t dig it. I agree – there is only enough room in this world for one Jess. [ibtimes]
First Look At The Alice In Wonderland Beast – Direct from Tim Burton’s twisted take on Alice in Wonderland come new images of the beauty – Anne Hathaway’s White Queen – and the beast, aka Bandersnatch. Described by Disney as a “disgusting, drooling, foul-smelling creature with a big filthy body and the squashed, teeth-baring face of a rabid bulldog,” Bandersnatch shreds characters with a single swipe of his razor-sharp claws. I should bloody well hope so. [wired]
