Leave it to those elitist mag honchos that think white is the template of beauty for the entire world. How little do they know women of color are the most beautiful.
The Daily Mail reports that fans of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were left stunned last week after the actress's skin appeared to have been digitally lightened on the cover of a new issue of Elle magazine.
Now the 37-year-old Bollywood star, who is widely believed to be the world's most beautiful woman, is said to be considering suing the Indian version of the title over what has been deemed 'racist airbrushing'.
The actress herself has not commented on the situation, but friends 'Aishwarya's first reaction was disbelief,' said one.
'She believed that these things don't happen anymore. Not in this day and age when women are recognised for their merit, and not for the colour of their skin.
'She is currently verifying this skin-whitening allegation. If there is any proof of this, she might even take action.'

Wow, I didn’t know this was even an issued in the 21st century. The only thing I know about Billy the Kid is how he was portrayed by Emilio Estevez in Young Guns.
In one of his last official acts — or non-acts — before leaving office, New Mexico's governor refused to pardon the Old West outlaw Friday for one of the many murders he committed before he was gunned down in 1881. Gov. Bill Richardson cited ambiguity surrounding the pledge of a pardon 130 years ago as the reason.
"I felt I could not rewrite history," Richardson told The Associated Press, hours after announcing his decision on ABC's "Good Morning America" on his last day in office.
The prospect of a pardon for the notorious frontier figure drew international attention to New Mexico, centering on whether New Mexico territorial governor Lew Wallace promised Billy the Kid a pardon in return for testifying about killings he witnessed. Richardson concluded Wallace did make a deal, "but it's uncertain why he did not keep his promise," said the former U.N. ambassador and Democratic presidential candidate.
He said he could not pardon Billy the Kid given that ambiguity and the fact he killed two deputies when he escaped in April 1881 from the Lincoln County jail, where he was awaiting hanging for the 1878 killing of Sheriff William Brady.
A pardon document was even drafted, "but in the end, I didn't use it," said Richardson, adding that he didn't decide until Thursday night. The proposed pardon covered only the killing of Brady, and not the deaths of the deputies or any other killings. According to legend, Billy the Kid killed 21 people, although the New Mexico Tourism Department puts the total closer to nine.
He was shot to death by Sheriff Pat Garrett in July 1881. Albuquerque attorney Randi McGinn, who petitioned for a pardon after studying the issue, said she won the battle in proving there was a promise but lost the war over the pardon. She said, however, she didn't regret "one iota being Billy the Kid's lawyer." Garrett's grandson, J.P. Garrett, of Albuquerque, sent an e-mail to The Associated Press: "Yea!!! No pardon! Looks like it will be a great new year!!!!"
Wallace's great-grandson, William Wallace, of Westport, Conn., said Richardson "followed the correct, rational track in forgoing a pardon for a convicted murderer."
Both men had expressed outrage Richardson would even consider a pardon, arguing there was no proof one was ever offered. The historical record is unclear, Richardson said. His staff told him in August there are no written documents "pertaining in any way" to a pardon in the papers of the territorial governor, who served from 1878 to 1881.
Richardson's successor, Gov. Susana Martinez, who takes office Saturday, has said she won't even consider a pardon because state issues were more pressing.
"There's an awful lot of work to be taken care of for us to be wasting so much time on such a consideration," the Republican said Tuesday. Richardson's office set up a website in mid-December for public comments following McGinn's petition. The survey that ended Sunday brought in 809 e-mails and letters from all over the world — 430 favoring a pardon and 379 opposed.
McGinn argued Lew Wallace promised to pardon the Kid, also known as William Bonney. She said the Kid kept his end of the bargain, but the territorial governor did not.
McGinn said Friday she was disappointed by Richardson's decision but thrilled the pardon question sparked interest. She said she hoped people would come to New Mexico, see letters Billy the Kid wrote to Wallace, walk Lincoln's single street and decide for themselves whether Billy the Kid was "the Robin Hood of the West or a notorious killer."
Well, apparently Oprah thinks there’s something wrong with being a lesbian and refuses to come clean.
The National Enquirer reports that a teary Oprah Winfrey insisted to Barbara Walters that she and best friend Gayle King are not gay - but an in-depth ENQUIRER investigation has uncovered the REAL truth about their shocking secret life.
Inside sources reveal that behind closed doors the two women live a lesbian lifestyle - sleeping together in the same bed and vowing to love each other unconditionally for the rest of their lives.
Both washed their hands of men years ago, insiders say, with Oprah callously betraying her former fiance Stedman Graham to nurture her relationship with Gayle.What's more, sources say the wealthy and powerful talk-show queen has used payoffs, bribes and outright lies to keep America from learning her secrets.
"Oprah and Gayle genuinely love each other," an Oprah family member told The ENQUIRER.
"But they don't think the rest of the world could ever understand their feelings, so they keep their private life quiet."Oprah, 56, opened up about her sexuality and her relationship with BFF Gayle, 56, during an interview on ABC's "A Barbara Walters Special: Oprah, The Next Chapter."
Oprah told Barbara: "I am not a lesbian…I'm not even kind of a lesbian."But when she tried to explain her feelings for Gayle, Oprah became overwhelmed by emotion, breaking down in tears."She is the mother I never had. She is the sister everybody would want. She is the friend that everybody deserves. I don't know a better person. I don't know a better person," Oprah said.
The following video is an excellent teachable moment of how Liberals view the constitution.
Liberals are ignorant of the constitution because they’ve never read it or if they have they utterly ignore it as is the case with Ezra Klein.
He’s is not alone!
President Barack Obama views the constitution as a document of “negative rights’. Basically, Liberals, who by the way feel the need to call themselves Progressives to fool the public, have a disdain for our founding document because it is a hindrance to them and their “big government” is the answer to everything ways.
Because of Liberals, 50 million abortions have been performed in this country since 1973.
Because of Liberals there are more pot shops than Starbucks on street corners of California.
Because of Liberals we no longer have prayer in the public schools and look how much the education has declined.
Because of Liberals there are more Planned Parenthood centers in African American neighborhoods than any other group. Do you think that’s really a coincidence?
This is only a snippet of the ills of Liberalism that doesn’t believe in the values that has founded this nation. They do much more harm than good and are never held to account for the damage they inflict because it’s always done under the banner of “fairness” and “social justice”. Break out the box and think for yourself!
Three men arrested after a crying goat is found tied in car trunk
It started off as a traffic stop. And it ended with three men being booked on charges of being cruel to a thirsty, hogtied goat. Morgan Hill special operations Cmdr. Joe Sampson said the charges -- which also included driving under the influence and possession of methamphetamine -- stem from a Christmas Eve bust on Monterey Road near San Pedro Avenue. Sampson said officers on Friday spotted a car swerving, and pulled it over. They found that the driver didn't have a license, and they smelled alcohol inside the car, police said. Not only did the officer find three open beer cans, as well as plastic bags filled with what he suspected was crystal methamphetamine, but he also heard crying, or rather, bleating, coming from inside the car trunk. "Lo and behold, there's a goat tied up in there," Sampson said. "We think they were going to eat it." Police called animal control officers, who found the goat severely dehydrated. "They gave it some water and it drank a gallon," Sampson said. The driver, Ciro Paredes, 40, of Morgan Hill, was arrested on charges of not having a driver's license, DUI and animal cruelty. Passengers Julio Perez, 27, and Ricardo Melgar, 19, were also arrested for animal cruelty, and Perez was arrested for possession of a controlled substance. All three men were booked into Santa Clara County Jail.
Let me get this straight:
Drunk driving. No license. Booze in the car. Bag of meth. And the goat gets the headline? Are you shittin' me?
The Sun reports that it links Qingdao city in eastern China's Shandong province with the Huangdao district and is a staggering 26.4 miles long – 174 TIMES the length of London's Tower Bridge over the Thames.
Two separate teams have been building the different ends of the Qingdao Haiwan Bridge since 2006.
The crossing links three coastal towns in Shandong province. One engineer said of the bridge's completion: "The computer models and calculations are all very well but you can't really relax until the two sides are bolted together.
"Even a few centimetres out would have been a disaster."
The previous holder of the world's longest bridge title was the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in southern Louisiana in the US.
It features two bridges running side by side and is 23.87 miles (38.42km) long.
The following video is of Michele Bachman, congresswoman from Minnesota, giving a speech to Michigan Republicans. In it she gives a nice synopsis of what our “inalienable rights” rights actually mean. I venture to guess that 4 of 10 people in this country have no clue what she’s talking about.
Bachmann was originally a Democrat and even worked for the election of
Orlando Sentinel PARKLAND, Florida — A South Florida doctor has died after authorities say she was accidentally strangled by an electronic neck massager on Christmas Eve.

HEBRON, Md.- A 22-year-old woman is behind bars after police say she took off all of her clothing and sexually harassed customers and employees inside the Royal Farms convenience store in Hebron.
Jennifer Marie Riegler, of Accomac, Va., is charged with disorderly conduct, indecent exposure, disturbance of the peace, theft less than $100, fourth-degree sex offense, malicious destruction of property valued less than $500 and six counts of second-degree assault. The Wicomico County Sheriff's Office says Riegler's arrest stemmed from an incident alleged to have occurred shortly before 9 a.m., Dec. 18, at the Royal Farms located on the 7900 block of Royalty Way. According to police interviews with store employees, Riegler walked inside the store, removed all of her clothing and strolled naked around the store. Police say she then made sexually suggestive comments to both customers and employees and engaged in sexually suggestive behavior prior to lying on the floor in front of the donut rack. Store employees assisted Riegler with getting dressed and she waited in the parking lot for deputies to arrive. When deputies arrived on the scene, they discovered that Riegler was eating fruit taken from inside the store that she had not purchased. Based on what the store employees reported to the deputies, Riegler was placed under arrest. Police say that when deputies attempted to place Riegler in a patrol car, she kicked one of them in the groin and another in the hand. Riegler was subdued and placed into additional restraints. Riegler was transported to Peninsula Regional Hospital in Salisbury and a warrant was obtained charging her with the aforementioned offenses. She was taken into custody on Dec. 23 and locked up in the Wicomico County Detention Center in lieu of $25,000 bond.
Not much to get up for this weekend. After watching KG get hurt in the Celtics game last night, about the only thing worth caring about is that the Pats make it through this little scrimmage healthy. But I need something to get me juiced. Something to care about. Wait, I know - this can be Brian Hoyer weekend!
"Brian, Brian, he's our man...." Aw, fuck it, I just can't get pumped and jacked....
The dumb mainstream media of course made nothing of this congressman’s assessment that the island of Guam could “cap size” due to too many people living on it.
What’s hilarious about this video is how the Navy admiral keeps a straight face through out Rep Johnson’s questioning. I bet he was saying to himself, “Is this guy a freaking idiot or what?”
Congressman Johnson was re-elected to the House this past mid term. That doesn't say much for some of the people in Georgia.

After the game, Doc Rivers seemed optimistic that it was a muscle injury. Doesn't look like a season-ender, but the "Drive for 18" could be in serious jeopardy. We'll have to wait and see....
I suspected yesterday, Bloomberg, the cheap son-of-a-bitch, held back on the salt.
NY Fox.com reports that the chairman of the Municipal Labor Committee, Local 831, which represents men and women of the New York City Sanitation Department says there is no truth behind a rumor that his members worked slower during the blizzard of 2010.
Speaking with Good Day New York on Wednesday, four days after the first snow fell in a 20+ downfall across the tristate, Harry Nespoli said his workers don't "mess around with the snow."
Local politicians and residents where streets have not been cleared from the snow are angry. From all accounts, the response to the blizzard was inadequate.
Manhattan federal Judge John Koeltl said the gals "have met their burden" in alleging that Rick's Cabaret International "was their employer under the 'economic reality' test."
In a decision made public today, Koeltl noted that the $5 million-plus suit charges that Rick's Cabaret International "directly employs regional managers, who are responsible for overseeing the operations of the subsidiary clubs," including
the one on West 33rd Street. The suit also alleges that both the regional managers and the various clubs' general managers report to Eric Langan, who is CEO of the corporation and president of each of its 20 skin palaces, the judge ruled.
Koeltl further rejected "concerns" raised by Rick's about the "credibility" of lead plaintiffs Sabrina Hart and Reka Furedi, who were accused of lacking "sufficient moral character" to spearhead the suit.
"No plaintiff evinces a credibility problem sufficient to require her exclusion as a class representative," the judge wrote.
The case centers on Rick's sale of "dance dollars" to patrons who want to buy lap dances.
Each funny-money bill costs $24, but the strippers only get $18 when they redeem them at the end of their shifts, the suit says.
"We look forward to a full resolution of this issue on the merits, at which time we are confident the Court will agree with our position, and the position of the vast majority of the entertainers who perform at Rick's NY, that they are independent contractors and not employees," said Jeffrey Kimmel, a lawyer for Rick's.
