Posh-itively the Worst Dressed Celeb

Victoria "Posh" Beckham topped the 48th edition of Mr. Blackwell's Worst Dressed List. He is quoted as saying "Forget the fashion spice, wearing a skirt would suffice! In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty Posh can really wreck-em." My favorite bitchy quote is reserved for Mary Kate Olsen, though "She resembles a tattered toothpick-trapped in a hurricane." MEOW! Why no Britney Spears on the list? Apparently, Blackwell took pity on her during this "difficult time in her life" and left her off the list. Fame-hungry Brit would have probably loved the added attention! Here's the top 10 worst dressed celebs according to Blackwell:

1. Victoria Beckham

2. Amy Winehouse

3. Mary Kate Olsen

4. Fergie

5. Kelly Clarkson

6. Eva Green (ex Bond girl)

7. Avril Lavigne

8. Jessica Simpson

9. Lindsay Lohan

10. Alison Arnigrim (played Nellie on Little House on the Prarie. Didn't know anyone cared what she wore...)

Mea Culpa

Hi everyone! Just wanted to say that we're sorry to have slacked off on writing new posts! We were surprised to find ourselves with "So Much to do, so Little Time"!! You know how it goes at the end of the year! Anyway, Happy Friday and we'll try to get back on track with our posting!

Lakotas Secede

The Lakota Indian Tribe seceded from the Union today. That's right, the Tribe most well known for their legendary leaders Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, announced to the State Department that they "are no longer citizens of the United States of America..." The Tribe's spokesperson and Indian activist, Russell Means, also encouraged others to join them. Tribe members are scattered across Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming

The announcement comes after a 33-year campaign, during which time the tribe worked to, "get their ducks in a row" while drafting its "declaration of continuing independence." The final form of which was delivered to the US Federal Government today.

According to Means, the new country would be tax-free and they would issue their citizens passports and driver's licenses-- all this for the low, low price of renouncing your US citizenship!

The Latokas claim they've been oppressed by the US, which has led to their tribe's overwhelmingly high unemployment, teen suicide, and infant mortality rates. (According to various news articles, this claim is made on the "Latoka Freedom Movement" website, but after repeated searches, I was unable to find the site.) Naturally, creating their own country will solve these problems....

Logistics and legality aside, what's the over/under on a group of mostly unemployed people building and sustaining their own country within a country that has in tact for more than two-hundred years? Anyone?

Let Them Eat Cake

A Dutch inmate received a tasty treat with side effects recently. The AP reports that officers accidentally gave a man, who is serving time for growing cannabis, a hashish cake for breakfast. The cake, seized in an unrelated case, was being stored near inmate meals. Hmmm... perhaps they should buy a mini-fridge for their perishable evidence....

In case you're thinking to yourself, "I thought it was legal in the Netherlands" here are a few archived articles you might find interesting...

Presidential Love Child

It seems it's not just teenagers like Jamie Lynn Spears who are having unprotected sex these days. Presidential hopeful John Edwards has a love child of his own on the way. The National Enquirer is reporting in their exclusive article that Edwards knocked up Rielle Hunter, a woman connected to a scandal reported months ago that he had been cheating on his cancer-stricken wife. Senator Edwards denied the affair then, as he is now with his denial that he fathered this child. And in a strange yet interesting twist, Edwards' former chief of staff and long-time friend, Andrew Young has stepped forward to claim that he is the father of the unborn child. Young is a married father of three who some are speculating has made the announcement in an attempt to cover-up Edwards' affair and perhaps save his scandal-ridden presidential campaign. Somebody get Maury on the line!
