| Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Kimora Preggers? Bottle Hits Pitbull! Timbaland ...
Damn! What is the hell is going on? I heard about 2,500 people packed club PLANETA in San Antonio, TX to see the one and only Pitbull. After the rapper gets about two songs into his concert, a bottle zips out from the crowd and busts Pitbull on the side of the head! The bottle didn't crack, but it did break the skin and Pitbull bled. A nurse taped him up and he kept performing for one song. There would be no full concert due to the bleeding. He was eventually taken away by the paramedics to get eight staples in his head. Pitbull told the crowd that said his fans pay his bills and he wasn't going let one hater spoil it for them. I heard roughly 80% of those I attendance were females. Foul! See the ignorant video below.
REMY MA CLASHES WITH DIRECTOR?
Remy Ma has been relatively low-key.
Excessively duty-conscious
A new TV set or a washing machine may not burn a big a hole in your pocket now compared with, say, five years ago, but consumer durable manufacturers continue to cry foul over the Centres lack of attention towards this sector. Their grouse? Continued high taxation and the free trade agreements with countries such as Thailand that make manufacturing of consumer electronic goods in India uncompetitive. Sample this: While a 29-inch flat television costs about $300 in India, it costs only $200 in Thailand and $150 in China! The differential is blamed on the inflated tax structure here and this, in turn, means the local industry has been unable to either lower prices or significantly improve domestic penetration levels, even after 5-6 years. Also, due to decreasing competitiveness of manufacturing in India, companies such as Sony have already abandoned domestic production in favour of cheaper imports from Thailand.

Arsenal 0-0 Milan
Finds a bit of space and fires in a shot from 20 yards that deflects behind for a corner. Much worse, Toure is limping off. 6 min: Lehmann! Catches the corner and hurls the ball 60 yards to Adebayor, pursued by five defenders. Arsenal corner, but Adebayor kicks Kaladze in the head and it's a free kick. 7 min: Senderos on for Toure. Bit of a blow this. 9 min: Long ball to Adebayor. Brilliant control and plays in Eboue on the right. Decent cross but Adebayor's header is easily saved. Some sneaky leaning-in-style defending from Nesta there. 11 min: Eduardo is playing on the left by the way. Adebayor up on his own. 12min: Nice spell of possession from Arsenal. Adebayor looks well up for this. Maldini dives in on Eboue. Corner. 13 min: Corner just evades Senderos and is hacked clear.
Hotels joining in green wave
In case you haven't noticed, hotels are going green, doing their part to be ecologically friendly. You might call it the Al Gore effect, although the movement began before An Inconvenient Truth won an Academy Award and its star won a Nobel Prize this year. The green efforts go further than asking guests to use towels and bed linens more than once (as they do at home), to conserve water and avoid flushing more detergent-laden water into sewers. It's also more than replacing incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs in guest rooms. Other green initiatives are more subtle - things a guest might never notice: recycling, low-flow faucets and showerheads, water-saving toilets, and the use of products that don't harm the environment or contribute to global warming.
Going up? Postage stamps are
But the Forever stamps will still be valid for first-class postage after that. And they can be bought for 41 cents until the new rates take place, postal officials said. The post office has sold 5 billion Forever stamps since they were introduced last April and it plans to have an additional 5 billion in stock to meet the expected demand before the May price change, the agency said. The charge for other services, such as advertising mail, periodicals, packages special services will also change. Changes in the price for Priority Mail and Express Mail will be announced later, the agency said. Postage rates last went up in May 2007, with a first-class stamp jumping 2 cents to the current 41-cent rate. In the past raising postage rates was a long, complex process involving hearings before the independent Postal Regulatory Commission, a process that could take nearly a year.
