Tony Blair – not shy of using fake tan..

Tony Blair Using Poor Quality Fake Tan – I watched a bit of SKY News last night, which featured Tony Blair lending his support to that bulldog, Gordon Brown – ahead of the elections. I wasn’t sure if something was wrong with my TV, or whether Tony Blair really did look like an Oompah Loompah. I Googled “tony blair sun tan” and, sure enough, The Sun confirmed everything for me.

Don’t Read This – President Jacob Zuma on Tuesday visited an impoverished white Afrikaans-speaking community, promising that government services for the poor will not be limited by race. ie. He was focusing on white people. In a speech. For God’s sake, ignore this news at once! Let’s rather focus on Malema and the end of the world. Just like we did with Zuma before he came into power. Aren’t you exhausted after worrying for 16 whole years? [mail&guardian]

The 3-D Porn Revolution – When the internet came around, who did it really benefit. That’s right – the porn industry. When HD came around, who did it benefit? Correct – the porn industry, And now, thanks to Avatar, the adult film industry is banking on 3-D to be its salvation. Come follow this link and find out why directors—including Tarantino—want to make dirty movies you can reach out and touch. [dailybeast]

Vatican Defends Pope In Kiddie Fiddling US Lawsuit – Dragged deeper than ever before into the church/priest sex abuse scandal, the Vatican is launching a legal defense that the church hopes will shield the pope from a lawsuit seeking to have him deposed. In court documents obtained Tuesday, Vatican lawyers map out a three-pronged strategy seeking to dismiss the suit before Benedict XVI can be questioned or secret documents subpoenaed. [businessweek]

Karl Rove Called ‘War Criminal’ At Book Signing – Former White House chief of staff Karl Rove was heckled and branded a “war criminal’ at a book signing in Beverly Hills, California, on Monday night. But the audience members were unable to get their copies of the book signed after Rove was shouted down and forced to leave the stage. Being called a “dick” is one thing, but a “war criminal?” Blind.. [cnn]

Is This The Real Face Of Jesus? – Using the latest 3-D computer technology, a team of digital artists have created what they claim is the real face of Jesus. The contours of the face and body were taken from the ghostly face imprinted on the Shroud, the bloodied linen sheet said to have covered the body of Christ in his tomb. Apparently Jesus was 5’8″, swarthy and looked nothing like the Renaissance painters’ depictions of Christ. [telegraph]

University To Provide iPads To All New Students – Seton Hill University will supply a new Apple iPad and a 13″ MacBook laptop to every full-time student arriving at its Greensburg, Pennsylvania, campus in fall 2010.The giveaway kicks off the small liberal arts university’s Griffin Technology Advantage Program, which aims to cultivate digital literacy among its students. It also marks a growing shift to provide students with e-books rather than textbooks. I like it. [mashable]

The Porsche Panamera Road Test – Porsche is a company that for many years stayed true to its roots, producing sportscars of the kind that its creator intended. Panamera is one of those cars that appears better in the metal than it does in photos; but that’s not saying a lot. It is not pretty by any stretch of the imagination. It does not lack presence but it is imposing rather than handsome. Let’s take a closer look. [carmag]

Suspect On The Run Jumps Into Women’s Prison – After trying to pull him over for failing to signal, police say 20-year-old Ricky Flowers, took off on a high speed chase, reaching speeds of more than 90 miles an hour. The chase spanned several communities and two local interstates, before ending up in the most ironic of places, The Northeast Pre-Release Center for Women. That’s when the sisters took over.. [fox8]

Kids On Fire Using Aerosol Sprays – A recent report in The News Tribune tells of some kids being temporarily expelled for playing with deodorant cans and fire. While it is somewhat alarming to hear of kids as young as 10setting themselves on fire, I think someone should tell them that Axe Body Spray is very amateurish and, if they really want to get their flame on, they should get some of Yardley’s You’re the Fire, for maximum effect.

Kelly Brook Does Ultimo Mag – I know most of you are still getting over the shock that Ricky Martin is gay, so here’s Kelly Brook in a new ad campaign for Ultimo lingerie. Which seems like a pretty solid choice since Kelly Brook is perfect in every possible way. I wont be surprised if some of the outtakes aren’t of her healing the sick and levitating cars with her mind. [idlyitw]

A Week in Provence – Spring [3] – “Like magic, the curtain of snow and sleet has lifted off the Luberon Valley to coincide with the arrival of Flybe.com’s twin-prop aircraft from Southampton bearing Rachel and Dave. The almond trees burst into blossom each day, the baby dog violets are starting to peep out from the undergrowth and yellow daisies proliferate day by day. The advent of Provencal Spring (official day – 20th March) has meant that building has progressed well on the pool kitchen and other projects.” [livingstylishlywell]

Heidi Montag Moves Out Of Marital Home – In a move pretty similar to Sandra Bullock, Heidi Montag has apparently moved out of the home she shares with her freak husband, Spencer Pratt. And when I say ‘similar,’ I am referring only to the fact that she moved out. Unlike Bullock, we cannot confirm if Spencer was cheating. And if he was, it definitely wouldn’t be with a woman.

Sights, Sounds And Sore Feet In New York City – “It is no surprise, given my love for Johannesburg and all it’s diverse craziness, that New York stole my heart. I’m certainly not the most well-travelled human on the planet but I’ll go a long way before I find another place that inspires me like NYC. New York’s architecture, human spirit, colour, history and undeniable energy of the place has left an indelible impression on me.” [mikestopforth]
