Report: Beyonce Is Pregnant!!!

Here we go again. Another round of rumors claiming Beyonce is pregnant with her first child are circulating online. Us Weekly's source claims the pregnancy came as a total surprise to B and her husband, rapper-mogul Jay-Z.

"B was shocked. She loves kids, but she wasn't ready to be a mother just yet ... She really wanted to get her album done and tour the world again," the source said.

Even record executive Kevin Liles, who has known Jay-Z for years, is speaking out about the couple. "Jay has been all about family since I met him, and he's always going to be," he said. "I wish them the best."

But is it true? In March, "rock solid sources" claimed B was expecting. But alas, Beyonce's publicist shot down the "untrue" rumor.

The couple, who married in 2008 following a six-year courtship, have been plagued by pregnancy rumors for, well, as long as we can remember. We're pretty sure it was reported that Beyonce was pregnant on the set of the video for their 2003 duet ''03 Bonnie & Clyde.' That's a LONG pregnancy. The last seven or so years, which have been packed with albums and tours and elaborate videos, must have been very uncomfortable for the diva, who is said to be hard at work on her next record with a host of big-name producers.

Native American Farmers Win $680M in Discrimination Suit!!!

The Obama administration has agreed to pay $680 million to Native American farmers who claimed the government denied them the same low-interest rate loans given to white farmers between 1981 and 2007.

The farmers filed a class-action lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture 11 years ago. Under a settlement announced Tuesday, eligible farmers and ranchers can get up to $250,000 each if they can prove the USDA caused them economic losses, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told The Wall Street Journal. But most farmers will likely opt for a $50,000 payment that requires less paperwork.

The lawsuit, Keepseagle v. Vilsack, was named for a North Dakota farmer Marilyn Keepseagle, who said the settlement would "help thousands of Native Americans who are still farming and ranching."

"But more important, through this settlement we will leave to our children and grandchildren a farm loan system far more responsive to our community than the system we inherited from our parents," she told The Oklahoman newspaper.

The American Indians' lawsuit has long been overshadowed by similar complaints from black farmers. The Obama administration reached a $1.25 billion settlement with those black farmers last February, but Congress has yet to allocate the money.

The USDA has been subject to several discrimination lawsuits in recent years over allegations of racism in its farm loan programs. The issue flashed into the national spotlight over the summer, when USDA employee Shirley Sherrod was forced to resign after an edited video clip suggested she didn't fully help a white farmer in 1986 because of his race. Sherrod is black.

The Native Americans' settlement includes an additional $80 million of debt forgiveness and $20 million in administrative fees, Bloomberg said. It still has to be approved by a federal district court, and a hearing is set for Oct. 29.

Four Loko is equivalent to Liquid Cocaine?

The break out energy/alcohol beverage of the summer is hands down Four Loko. The product was introduced in 2005 but only became popular this year.

You can purchase this beverage at your local store for only $3.00 and drinking one Loko can make you feel like you consumed three beers. Available in eight flavors; grape, fruit punch, orange, watermelon, blue raspberry, lemonade, cranberry and cranberry lemonade. While many people are enjoying this cheap energy/alcoholic beverage others are outraged by it. Four Loko can contain up to 12 percent alcohol volume which is three times the amount found in beer. Many are also upset about the marketing of the product. When you look at the packaging it can easily be mistaken for a soft drink and can sometimes be found in the soda section. The makers of Four Loko have been under investigation since late 2009 for the safety and legality of their beverages.

The company might soon be forced to discontinue the product until they can prove that the addition of caffeine to their beverage is in fact safe.

Still a Virgin??? Helpline gets people riled up!!!

I think this billboard is doing every virgin a favor. Help is out there flowered, cherried folks. Help. Is. Out. There. It might not be waiting for you on the other end of the phone, but I guarantee it is out there…at every bar, bus stop, corner, etc. Find out more about the most creative ad campaign ever.

Billboards popping up with the words “Still A Virgin? For Help, Call 888-742-4335” have managed to piss quite a few people off lately who can’t seem to find the fun in helping the inexperienced finally infuse a little sexin’ into their lives. But rather than being an actual helpline, the billboards are actually pubbing an upcoming movie called “The Virginity Hit.” When people dial the number, they get a pre-recorded message from one of the film’s stars spewing suggestions for virgins before reading out the film’s website.

Ok, so kind of a let down for virgins looking to end their suffering, but hey it could be the perfect lead-in to the conversation that will start the interaction that will be followed by drinks that will lead to more drinks that will culminate in people getting naked. The billboards look like a win-win situation for everyone involved.

Japanese Men Going on Real Life Dates with Virutal Women!!!

I’m tempted to make fun of Japan, but really this is more sad than anything else. Japanese men are so scared of dating actual women, they are turning to a Nintendo DS dating game for romance, and not just the virtual kind.

There’s a game called Love Plus, where players court three different girls, and end up with one of them. In the game, the final reward is a hotel trip to Atami. But now, some players are shelling out big bucks to make the trip in REAL LIFE.

The men are real. The girls are cartoon characters on a screen. The trips are actual, can be expensive and aim to re-create the virtual weekend outing featured in the game, a product of Konami Corp. played on Nintendo Co.’s DS videogame system.

“Atami has always been a romantic place, but it is now a romantic place for a modern generation,” says Sakae Saito, Atami’s mayor.

Some devoted fans will go so far as to pay twice the rate—most hotels in Japan charge per guest not per room—to indulge the fantasy that they are not there alone. A night’s stay, at most, can cost $500 though many rooms are cheaper.

“There isn’t a lot of romance in my life and this helps me cope with some of the loneliness,” said Mr. Fukazawa with a chuckle.

Gahhh, so depressing. Since we usually get most of our tech trends from Japan, is this going to be our future here in America as well? Virtual dates with manga chicks? I’m sure some are doing it already, but if this becomes a phenomenon, I fear for the future of the human race.

69-Year-Old Grandma Shoots Intruder With Her .38 Special!!

It was 3 a.m. when a robber decided to invade 69-year-old Ethel Jones’ home. The Decatur, Ga. grandmother told the Decatur Daily she heard the intruder at her back door and then her front, and she thought someone was trying to get inside. The robber eventually removed an air conditioner from a window to gain access to Jones’ home. But he picked the wrong lady to rob.

Jones sleeps with a loaded .38 pistol under a pillow next to her when she is home alone. Jones saw the intruder when she walked out of her bathroom. She says he was holding a pen light near her bedroom. “I shot three times and he ran away hollering,” said Jones, who used to go to target practice with her former husband.

Police quickly determined that 18-year-old Michael O’Neal Bynum, a neighbor of Jones’, was a suspect. He is in stable condition at the hospital after being treated for a gunshot wound to his abdomen. Bynum was on probation for a previous burglary conviction, and will be charged with second-degree burglary and held without bail. Maybe the pain of Jones’ bullet will finally make him learn his lesson.

Man Spends 62 Years Building Fleet Out of Matchsticks!!!

Philip Warren spent the past 62 years faithfully recreating an armada of 432 Royal Navy warships out of matchsticks and wooden matchboxes. Over the last six decades, he has painstakingly crafted every naval warship afloat, in service or to have come in since the second World War.

79-year-old Philip, a retired company director from Blandford, Dorset, England, began creating his first ship in 1948 when he was just 17. He uses a razor blade, tweezers and sandpaper to carve the matches and boxes before piecing them together using PVA and balsa wood glue. In total he has utilized more than 650,000 to create his incredibly detailed 1:300 scale models.

Very impressive, sir. If it weren't for professional sports and video games, we'd probably be in a basement gluing stuff together, too. Keep reading for a closer peek at some of Philip's work.

Drop Everything and Get Yourself Some Deep-Fried Beer!!!

Scotland might have its infamous deep-fried Mars bar, but that treat's now got some serious competition. Mixing together two of mankind's favorite things (deep-fried stuff and alcohol), one inventive Texan has discovered a means of deep-frying beer. And it apparently requires ravioli.

Unveiled at Texas's famous deep-fried-food convention, inventor Mark Zable has said that his process of taking ravioli packets, filling them with Guinness, then quickly dunking them in hot oil (370 degrees for 20 seconds, in case you were wondering) took him three years to perfect. And the results are, well, peculiar.

When bitten into, the beer and fatty pasta combine to cause what is undoubtedly referred to as "a taste sensation." Whether it's a good one remains a matter of personal opinion and relies on your heart being strong enough to withstand the mighty force of the deep-fried beer grenade.

The brand-new foodstuff has already been labeled as an alcoholic product, requiring deep-fried-food-loving Texans to be over 21 to gobble one down. They will soon be on sale for $5 per 5 pieces. Also, before you get too excited, the process has already been patented and the words "deep-fried beer" copyrighted by that industrious Mr. Zable.

Homeless man calls 911 from hot tub, seeks cocoa!!!

BEAVERTON, Ore. -A homeless man who called 911 from the hot tub of a suburban Portland home and asked for towels, hot chocolate and a hug got arrested for trespassing instead.
Beaverton police say Mark Eskelsen called 911 from his cell phone, identified himself as "the sheriff of Washington County," and asked for medical help. He later admitted he wasn't the sheriff but informed the dispatcher he'd been "yelling for about an hour and a half."

The man said in his Sunday morning call that he'd been in the water about 10 hours and his towels had gotten wet. As he put it, "I just need a hug and a warm cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows in it."
The Oregonian newspaper says arriving officers arrested Eskelsen for investigation of second-degree criminal trespass and improper use of 911.
