| Jessica Alba Whines About Unfair Treatment
Jessica Alba is fighting back against people who criticize her for not being true to her roots. The pregnant star, who is on the cover of the new Latina magazine, is particularly pissed at blogger Perez Hilton, I would imagine, for constantly referring to her as Jessica "Don't Call Me Latina" Alba. The actress admits to never being taught Spanish as a child even though her father is a second-generation Mexican-American, but she is sick of getting picked on! "No one gives Cameron Diaz a hard time for not speaking Spanish," Jessica pouts to the mag. "Her dad's Cuban, and I was telling her I feel so bad because everyone is so nasty to me for not speaking Spanish. She's like, 'I don't speak Spanish! I barely speak English!'" Aww, man. Cam took the words right out of my mouth! Back to Jess, she says she was turned down for a role in a Spike Lee movie because she didn't speak the Spanish, but then the role went to Rosario Dawson who doesn't know her asno from her codo either.
The Fort Worth preacher is accused of beating, threatening and ...
He liked the story I wrote about him a couple weeks ago, but not this garbage. Months earlier, a reporter friend told me she overheard Obama call me an asshole at a political fund-raiser. Now here he is blasting me from hundreds of miles away for a story that just went online but hasn't yet hit local newsstands. It's the first time I've ever heard him yell, and I'm trembling as I set down the phone. I sit frozen at my desk for several minutes, stunned. This is before Obama Girl, before the Secret Service detail, before he becomes a best-selling author. His book, Dreams From My Father, has been out of print for years. I often see Obama smoking cigarettes on brisk Chicago mornings in front of his condominium high-rise along Lake Michigan, or getting his hair buzzed at the corner barbershop on 53rd and Harper in his Hyde Park neighborhood.
Green's proposed changes for ORU include power-sharing
In return for a $62 million donation, Oral Roberts University's board of regents will be asked to share power, the Tulsa World has learned.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2
PARIS, Feb. 2 U.S. actress Pamela Anderson, whose curves earned her international fame on the TV series "Baywatch," is to appear nude in a Paris cabaret stage show.
The 40-year-old actress, whose role on the TV series "Home Improvement" helped ignite her career, will bare all during a nude review at the Paris cabaret house Crazy Horse, OK! Magazine reported Friday.
The risque show, which reportedly will place the actress on a Harley Davidson motorcycle as part of a special strip tease, will take place this month.
Anderson's performance will not mark her first time going nude, as the actress has appeared unclothed in Playboy magazine multiple times.
The magazine said Crazy Horse recently enjoyed an appearance from another noteworthy celebrity when French actress Arielle Dombasle took part in a rare cameo appearance at the famed Paris night spot.
Foxy Brown All Ears About Early Release
Foxy Brown gets into an altercation with a neighbor' would be great front-page headlines, whereas 'Foxy Brown brings Christmas toys to 30 disabled children' would hardly be mentioned." While she hasn't had a chance to put that idea into effect while behind bars, the "Chyna Doll" rapper has been doing her best to "maintain her profession" since she landed on the inside in September. She launched a Website so fans could keep track of her comings and goings, however geographically confined, and proceeded with plans to put out a new album in November. Her work was interrupted, however, when she was sentenced to 76 days in solitary confinement after tussling with another inmate outside the ladies' dining hall, refusing to submit a urine sample for a mandatory drug test and verbally trashing some of the guards. Brown ended up spending 40 days in isolation before reentering Rikers' general population Nov.
Do You See Me?
While some unlucky residents claim they have been scammed into paying down-payments to poseurs who promised to give them houses and never fulfilled their end of the deal, others have run into a wall of red tape as they are unable to prove ownership or residency. .
Attraction coaches help mould Casanovas
Two years ago, Matt Tomporowski hit rock bottom. A serious relationship had just ended, and he couldn't envision getting back into the dating game. His search for help led to Ronald Lee. The “attraction coach" brought in a fashion consultant, taught Tomporowski about body language, and encouraged the heartsick 34-year-old to get out of his comfort zone. “One day he actually videotaped me outside of the Vancouver Art Gallery on Robson, just approaching women," says the high-tech-industry employee, reached at his office. “I don't know how many women I talked to, but I had 10 phone numbers by the end of the day. It was a really fun experience. And I think the women enjoyed it too, being stopped by a classy, well-meaning, fun guy." Lee's attraction-coaching firm, Man Meets Woman (www.manmeetswoman.com/ ), is just one local outfit in what could be a burgeoning industry.
Just Call Me Wingmom
When my two best friends, Erika and Carol, announced that they were sick of nursing their broken hearts and were ready to start dating again, I was elated for them and terrified for myself. Where, I wondered would that leave me? At age 38, with two kids under 6 and a husband, my romantic life was far from exciting. Although we are all the same age, and Carol also has two children, the possibility loomed that they would soon be leading exciting lives as youngish singletons while I was stuck in the doldrums of advancing years and married life. The first inkling of what lay ahead came last Halloween. Erika, who doesn't have children, went to a singles party dressed as a sexy bee and danced till dawn on a podium. I, on the other hand, spent Halloween trudging around a Medway subdivision trying to keep Kieran, my milk-allergic son, from accidentally ingesting a Milky Way while I was unsuccessfully scraping dog poop from the bottom of my shoe.
