Casey Anthony Trial Info (Click here)
Above: Casey Anthony and her daughter, found dead 3 years ago in the family pool. Initially thought to be an accident, duct tape was found on the girl's skull seems to possibly indicate that Anthony may have killed her daughter then tried to make it look like an accident by throwing her in the pool.
Casey Anthony is currently in court for 1st degree murder of her daughter.

Vancouver's riot 07/18/2011
Last night in Vancouver after the Canucks v. Bruins Game, a riot quickly broke out, initially thought as a reaction to the hometown team's loss.
Several cars were destroyed and/or set on fire, many fights broke out, and people were injured. One man is left in critical condition after falling. Conflicting reports say either the man was a Bruins fan who was pushed, or he was trying to jump like others but failed to reach the desired target.
The VPD is saying anarchists were the ones to start the criminal mischiefs, and that the Canucks fans were just there watching and encouraging their behaviour.
The police managed to disperse the riot after 3 hours, much more quickly then the 1994 post-Canucks game riot.
Many in the media are asking questions that I think are a bit irrelevant and/or pointless. E.g.: "Why didn't the fire inspectors stop the people from outside the live zones to get in?" Erm... Have you ever tried standing in front of a crowd of people running towards you? Generally, unless you're very menacing, they'll just roll right over you.
Hindsight is 20/20, and I don't think we should critique police officers for dispersing a crowd like this as quickly and relatively violence-free on their behalf.
Also, I love the question: "Was the VPD aware of the anarchists? Why didn't you arrest them before this happened?" What, you don't believe in freedom of speech? Just because someone believes in something controversial doesn't give you the right to arrest them until they have done something illegal, like flipping cars over and jumping on them before setting them on fire. You know, that kind of stuff.

New Louis Vutton add featuring Angelina Jolie
Photo credit: E! online
A shoeless, make-up - less Jolie is featured in this photo by powerhouse photograph Anne Leibowitz (whom you might recall took those artistic but controversial Miley Cyrus pictures that the Cyrus family then tried to pin the blame on Leibowitz, claiming that she had taken advantage of the 'poor' teen starlet. Who's watching that movie?).

Lonely girl... (Do NOT copy)
What is the greatest gift one can give a lonely girl?
To give her the gift of love,
To find someone who is into her,
Who will be kind to her,
Who will come up to her and say:
"You look beautiful".
What is the greatest gift one can give a lonely girl?
To take her out, no matter what her protests,
To show that someone cares about her existence,
Who loves her even just as a friend,
Who understands who she is,
To make her feel beautiful.
What is the greatest gift one can give a lonely girl?
Is a makeover too much to ask?
She obviously can't make her personality shine on her own.
To help her get over her shyness,
Even if under protest,
To show everyone in the world that she is beautiful.
Give a lonely girl the gift of love, whether of friendship or romantic,
And maybe,
Just maybe,
She will no longer be lonely, but as beautiful
On the outside as you know she is on the inside.
