Royalty on YouTube 2 - Queen Rania of Jordan
She is taking a great risk in being so outspoken as a women in the Arab states. I wish her all the best, she is a great role model. I was lucky enought to see her mother-in-law Queen Noor when I visited Petra, Jordan.

Yes, teach your child that it is acceptable to insert a foreign object up their bum as long as it's shaped like one of their favorite cartoon charactors and can play a tune. Doesn't that describe about half their toys? The next thing you know you're in the emergency room having a See 'N Say removed from junior's butthole. Farmer says "Ouch,sphincter strain"

What Bare Celebs Are Worth - NY Mag Scored Big With Lohan (UPDATE)
I usually hate the whole cult of celebrity that breeds bottom feeding paparazzi and I think contributes to self destructive stars that can’t and shouldn’t have to handle all the attention placed on them by a public with no life of their own. But, I take my shirt off to Lindsay Lohan who just pissed off an entire army of paparazzi by airing her freckled dairies for the whole world to see, for FREE. She took away their potential big scoop by showing off her big scoops first. Good for you Lindsay, say no to DUI, say yes to full frontal nudity. And if you read this, would you do like, a private posing for your biggest fan? I see you’re into Marilyn, I can get a Yankee’s uniform and dress up like Joe DiMaggio... Write me.
