Guantanamo Bay Prison Video Released

A prisoner’s lawyers have released the first video footage of inside the US prison camp in Guantanamo Bay to the media.

Ten minutes of footage was selected from over seven hours of interrogation video of twenty-one-year-old Omar Khadr. In the video Khadr cries for help, complains of mistreatment, impaired vision and mobility. He told pleaded with agents that he was not healing well. “No I'm not. You're not here... I lost my eyes. I lost my feet. Everything!" Khadr said.

Khadr was fifteen years old when he was detained in Guantanamo Bay. He was accused of setting off a hand grenade that killed a US soldier in Afghanistan in 2002.

Khadr’s lawyers hope the footage will outrage viewers, but Pentagon spokesman, Navy Cmdr. J.D. Gordon, maintained that there has been no mistreatment in an interview with the AP. “Our policy is to treat detainees humanely and Khadr has been treated humanely,” Gordon said.

This controversial video will likely cause debate over the treatment of prisoners in the Guantanamo facility.

Diddy Reports All Time 'Bitchass' High

Even super hero Hancock is no match for the bitchassness threat levels, which have now reached a level orange, Diddy reports. “Them haters, they out there, they, they out there, Diddy said. “They ain’t got no weed, they, they lips is ashy, they ain’t got no money – they don’t know what to do, they sittin’ around talking about n------, they hating on the Internet…”


Is Diddy on drugs, or funnier than we originally conceived? Maybe he’s just overdue for a nice ball wax? Whatever the case, his blog is fantastic. Albeit, this is no blog number nine, but number ten still holds our interest.

New Yorker Fist Bumps & Flag Burns

Barack and Michelle Obama share a fist bump in front of a burning American flag on the cover of The New Yorker.

Sen. Obama is portrayed as a Muslim caricature and his wife is dressed in combat attire holding a gun. A photo of Osama Bin Laden hangs behind the two, who stand in the Oval Office.

The New Yorker stood behind cartoonist Barry Blitt’s cover, which the magazine said is political satire in a statement. “Satire is part of what we do, and it is meant to bring things out into the open, to hold up a mirror to prejudice, the hateful and the absurd.”

The Obama campaign isn’t amused, and spokesman Bill Burton issued a statement. “Most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive. And we agree,” Burton said.

Sen. John McCain expressed the same sentiment towards the magazine’s cover. “I think it’s totally inappropriate, and frankly I understand if Senator Obama and his supporters would find it offensive,” McCain said.

Another Batman Vs Abba Musical Turned Movie

Who will win number one at the weekend Box Office? Not since May when Sex and the City went up against Indiana Jones has there been this much excitement from Hollywood.


Mamma Mia stars Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan and it will likely fare well, but can it upset the second installment in Christopher Nolan’s new Batman series The Dark Knight?

The Dark Knight stars Christian Bale as Batman, Maggie Gyllenhaal as the new Katie Holmes and Heath Ledger as the grisly Joker.



Ledger’s untimely death in January makes The Dark Knight his last leading role and early reports suggest his performance is Oscar worthy. Ledger’s performance will be unlike anything comedic Jack Nicholson did with the original role in Tim Burton’s Batman.

Both movies are in theaters Friday, July 18.

Brangelina Add Two More to Child Collection

Angelina Bob Thornton Pitt Jolie gave birth to twins this weekend. Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline join Brad, Angelina, Maddox, Pax, Zahra and Shiloh.

Congratulations to the happy family, but Jesus – what happened to normal names like Apple and Suri?

Jackson Puts Nut in Mouth

Jesse Jackson was not pleased with Sen. Barack Obama and FOX news cameras caught him sharing his desire for Sen-gen-mutilation. Jackson thought his microphone was off and whispered his deepest, darkest thoughts. “See, Barack, been um, talking down to black people,” Jackson said. “I wanna cut his nuts off.”

Severing balls ties with Jackson would be as beneficial to Obama as it was when he distanced himself from his former spiritual advisor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., earlier this year.

Jackson issued this statement shortly after he learned the video aired:

“For any harm or hurt that this hot mic private conversation may have caused, I apologize. My support for Senator Obama’s campaign is wide, deep and unequivocal. I cherish this redemptive and historical moment.”

Fall Fashion Watch: Totes

Question: What happens when American patriotism goes beyond a yellow ribbon sticker on the back of a Jeep Liberty? Answer: Ignorant graphic tees and totes.

Maybe it’s Forth of July weekend or maybe it’s the years of overextended troops sprawled throughout the third world, whatever it is, it prompted this overly patriotic display of American ignorance.


Forget the black Jimmy Choo liquid patent and suede tote you were eyeing for the Fall, and set your sights on this functional piece.

Happy Independence Day, Love Diddy

Sean, Puffy, Diddy, whatever Combs, takes a moment to applaud the new super bad, superhero: Hancock. Diddy is treating Will Smith’s new box office gem as if Smith gave Halle Berry’s Oscar winning performance in Monster’s Ball. Diddy is no film critic, and Smith is certainly no Berry – though he’ll likely appear topless at some point in this movie. “It’s 2000-and-mother-fucking-eight and shit is changing,” Diddy announced.



It’s hard to tell whether or not Diddy is under the influence of anything other than pride, but his blog is the new Umbrella of celebrity blogs. Sorry Rosie O’Donnell, but watching Mr. Combs get emotional over a homeless superhero and call it progress for black men and women is more entertaining than viewing the pictures of you, your kids and the special effects Photo Booth on your MacBook Air has allowed for.

Eau de Douche: Don’t Smell Like One

Sure Acqua Di Gio is Armani, but you smell like every other douchebag that rides the train from Northern New Jersey into the city. Class it up this summer with a lighter scent. Clean, crisp summer collections are the smart fragrance option for the warmer months. Subtle and fresh is best for summer, this also applies to your madras shorts and polo with the collar popped. We love J.Crew as much as the next guy, but save the plaid for a day on the boat, not a night on the town.

Our pick for young men:

Issey Miyake L ‘Eau d’Issey Summer
Carolina Herrera 212 Men Splash

And for their female counterparts:

Issey Miyake L ‘Eau d’Issey Summer
Marc Jacobs Daisy

Song of the Summer?

It’s early summer, and we eagerly await the next Umbrella.

Could Mrs. Chris Brown do it again? It’s possible – no, not that Maroon Five collaboration, but Rihanna’s Disturbia. Aside from that pre-hot Shia LaBeouf flick, Disturbia is also the name of Ri’s new single, the number five download on iTunes today. It’s a hell of a lot better than anything else of the ass-shaking variety on air right now.

Maybe it isn't the song of the summer, but listen here and be prepared to sing: “Bom-bom-dee-dom” at least once today.

All The News That's Fit to Cut

With a slow economy and the advent of online journalism, there is less advertiser money to spend and more options for those advertisers.

The Los Angeles Times announced Wednesday it will cut 250 jobs, 150 of those jobs from the news staff.

Times Editor Russ Stanton explained this dark day for journalism in a memo to his employees appearing in an article on the newspaper’s website. “You all know the paradox we find ourselves in,” Russ Said. “Thanks to the Internet, we have more readers for our great journalism than at any time in our history. But also thanks to the Internet, our advertisers have more choices, and we have less money.”

Cutting back journalism jobs is nothing new. The New York Times, Washington Post, and almost every notable paper in circulation face the same predicament and have made similar cuts.

New Music from Montag

Heidi Montag takes another stab at an actual career and fails miserably. Her latest effort titled One More Drink leaked on the web and is as ill fit for success as Montag herself.

Heidi acknowledges she might not make it as the next Britney Spears, for better or worse, on her MySpace profile. “I don’t want to the next Britney, Madonna, or Michael Jackson. I want to be Heidi, just me,” Montag said. “Singing has given me a new hope and a new life – living through music.”

Judging by the sounds of her music, she is not living very well at all. Montag’s new song does offer some heartfelt lyrics, who knew all it took was a little Goose in her system? “You got me doing things I never do, sipping on that happy juice,” Montag purrs.
