Arsene Wenger has admitted it would be "interesting" to work with Florentino Perez if the former Real Madrid president returns to the Bernabeu.

Perez, favourite to win the elections this summer, officially presented his candidacy on Thursday promising the Madrid fans a "spectacular project" if he succeeds.

Arsenal boss Wenger has long been linked with a move to the Spanish giants and the Frenchman has revealed it would be a tempting offer.

"With Perez the project will be strongly interesting for every coach," he told Telefoot.

Perez has made no secret of his admiration for Wenger and tried to sign him during his first spell in charge in 2003.

Wenger has always insisted he would see out his contract at the Emirates, which runs until 2011.

"In general I always go right to the end of my contract," he added.

The Gunners gaffer refused to reveal whether he had spoken to Perez, saying: "Allow me to remain discreet on that matter."

Macka_Diamond_msg.jpgDeejay Macka Diamond has been  racking up the laughs with her latest sell-off tune, Robbery, a complete gem of a song where she robs each dancehall artiste in turn, sparing none in a funny verbal assault that is as witty as it is scathing.
    "I just thought it would be a great idea to do this song since I am the original Money Goddess, and you know, some man fi just get rob, I got bills to pay," the two-time female deejay of the year told one876entertainment.com.
     A few years ago, deejay Vybz Kartel did a similar robbery song, a homage to 50 Cents' popular 'How to Rob' song where he dissed a few artistes, even Beenie Man. But Macka's version is more good natured, only oking light-hearted fun at Beenie's tax woes. The lyrics are included below.

Ronaldinho's agent admits player may leave Milan

SAO PAULO (AP) - Ronaldinho's agent has dismissed the notion that the player could return to Brazilian football to join fellow stars Ronaldo and Adriano, but says he may leave AC Milan for another European club.

 

There is no possibility he leaves Europe right now," Ronaldinho's brother and agent Roberto de Assis told the Estado de S. Paulo newspaper on Wednesday.

After Ronaldo's successful return to Brazil's Corinthians and the recent signing of former Inter Milan striker Adriano by Flamengo, there have been several unconfirmed reports that Ronaldinho could return to Brazilian football.

The playmaker hasn't been playing as a regular starter at AC Milan.

"If you ask me if he may change clubs in Europe, then I would say yes," Assis said.

Notre Dame president catches heat for Obama invite By TOM COYNE, Associated Press Writer Tom Coyne, Associated Press Writer Fri May 15, 3:46 am ET SOUTH BEND, Ind. The Rev. John Jenkins got some simple advice before taking over as president of the University of Notre Dame: "Don't listen to the criticism, don't listen to the praise, just make the best decision you can." Four years later, Jenkins is getting plenty of criticism from Catholic leaders, students and alumni because of the university's decision to invite President Barack Obama to deliver its commencement address and receive an honorary degree Sunday. Opponents of the invitation, including at least 70 bishops, say Obama's support for abortion rights and embryonic stem-cell research contradicts church teachings and that Jenkins has created a breach with the church. A leading Catholic scholar also declined the school's most prestigious award, making this year's commencement the first time that the Laetare Medal hasn't been awarded since 1883. "It is clear that Notre Dame didn't understand what it means to be Catholic when they issued this invitation," Cardinal Francis George of Chicago said shortly after the university announced Obama's appearance.
P.J. Patterson. The People's National Party has rushed to dismiss reports linking it is former President and former Prime Minister P.J. Patterson to a Narcotics operation at the Norman Manley International Airport on Thursday night.

Basil Waite, speaking for the former Prime Minister dismissed as malicious reports that a charter flight on which the former Prime Minister was travelling was searched by a Narcotics and Customs contraband team seeking evidence of an international money laundering racket.

According to Mr. Waite, Mr. Patterson was returning from a business trip to Cuba where he had accompanied some clients from a major local and regional commercial entity.

The former Prime Minister reportedly arrived in the island without incident and was allowed to disembark along with his travelling party.

"He travels quite frequently even more often then when he was Prime Minister and nothing untoward happened while he was in the airport. He was quite surprised by the allegations swirling around," said Mr. Waite.

Mr. Waite is now raising the suspicion that the entire incident was the result of a prank.

"I have spoken to folks in other areas of the government and the brief that they have gotten is nothing different from what I have heard. Nothing about any hundreds of thousands of US dollars, nothing about any Cuban diplomats who were turned away; nothing of the sort is coming through,"

"So it is quite surprising and it begs the question what kind of decoy is this supposed to be, what is it supposed to cover and who would be concocting this story and for what purpose," said Mr. Waite.

RJR has received the pilot's report from the Air Century charter flight on which Mr. Patterson and his clients were travelling.

The Gulf Airstream plane registered in the Dominican Republic was subjected to a search at ten past nine on Thursday night, after it was cleared of the half a dozen passengers on board and the three member flight crew.

The former Prime Minister carried his briefcase, the male clients had their portfolios and the two females on board, their handbags.

No other luggage was on the flight for the one day trip.

Meanwhile, head of the Narcotics Police Senior Superintendent Carlton Wilson told RJR News that members of his team conducted a search of the plane, but found no evidence of illegal activity.

"I can confirm that a personal aircraft based on information that we got and after searching the aircraft we found nothing to coincide with our information. We thank the pilot who cooperated and that is all I know," said Senior Superintendent Wilson.

He said the entire incident is now under investigation.

On Thursday night members of the Narcotics Police Division backed by personnel from the Canine Division and Contraband Enforcement team conducted a search of the chartered flight on its arrival from Cuba.

Five men were convicted Tuesday of plotting to join forces with al-Qaida to destroy Chicagos Sears Tower and b**** FBI offices in hopes of igniting an anti-government insurrection.

The jury in Miami acquitted another member of the so-called Liberty City Six in the sixth day of deliberations. Two previous trials ended in mistrials when jurors could not agree on the mens guilt or innocence.

They were arrested in June 2006 on charges of plotting terrorism with an undercover FBI informant they believed was from al-Qaida. Defense attorneys said terrorist talk recorded on dozens of FBI audio and video tapes was not serious and the men wanted only money.

Ringleader Narseal Batiste, 35, was the only one convicted of all four terrorism-related conspiracy counts, including plotting to provide material support to terrorists and conspiring to wage war against the U.S. Batiste, who was on the vast majority of FBI recordings, faces up to 70 years in prison.

Batistes right-hand man, 29-year-old Patrick Abraham, was convicted on three counts and faces 50 years behind bars. Convicted on two counts and facing 30 years are 24-year-old Burson Augustin, 25-year-old Rotschild Augustine and 33-year-old Stanley Grant Phanor. Naudimar Herrera, 25, was cleared of all four charges.

U.S. District Judge Joan Lenard set sentencing for July 27 for the five convicted men, most of whom are Haitian or have Haitian ancestry. They lived in Miamis downtrodden inner-city neighborhood known as Liberty City.

Herrera criticized the prosecution as bogus and insisted the men banded together not for terrorism but to explore ways to lift up the impoverished, drug-infested area.

Its not right, Herrera said outside the courthouse. We were really all about helping the community.

The jury endured a two-month trial, then had to restart deliberations last week after one juror was excused for illness and a second was booted off the panel for being uncooperative. After the verdicts were read, court security officials escorted the jury whose names were kept secret out of the building before they could be interviewed.

The arrests were initially hailed as a major success by President George W. Bushs administration, an example of disrupting potential attacks at the earliest possible stages. But two previous juries struggled with the lack of solid evidence indicating the men took any steps to pull off such major mass assaults, such as possessing b****-making manuals or building blueprints.

This was a difficult trial, and we thank all the prosecutors and agents involved, whose efforts resulted in todays successful conclusion, said Miami U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta, a holdever Bush appointee.

Prosecutors Richard Gregorie and Jacqueline Arango focused on the groups intent as captured on dozens of FBI audio and video recordings. Batiste is repeatedly heard espousing violence against the U.S. government and saying the men should start a full ground war that would kill all the devils.

I want to fight some jihad, Batiste says on one tape.

A key piece of evidence is an FBI video of the entire group pledging an oath of allegiance, or bayat, to al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden in a March 16, 2006, ceremony led by an FBI informant posing as Brother Mohammed from al-Qaida. Testimony also showed the men took photographs and video of possible targets in Miami, including the FBI building, a courthouse complex and a synagogue.

But Batiste, who testified in all three trials, insisted he was only going along with Mohammed so he could obtain $50,000 or more for his struggling construction business and a nascent community outreach program. Batiste was leader of a Miami chapter of a sect known as the Moorish Science Temple, which c****ines elements of Christianity, Judaism and Islam and does not recognize the U.S. governments full authority.

Defense lawyers also claimed the case was an FBI setup driven by informants who manipulated the group.

This is a manufactured crime, Batiste attorney Ana M. Jhones said earlier in the trial.

A seventh man who was acquitted after the first 2007 trial, 34-year-old Lyglenson Lemorin, is being deported to his native Haiti anyway. Less stringent immigration laws make it easier for U.S. officials to use the terrorism allegations against Lemorin.

Neighbours save two children from fire

February 27, 2009

FIREFIGHTERS in Spanish Town, St Catherine say outdated infrastructure and heavy traffic congestion are hindering their efforts to respond quickly to emergencies in the old capital.

According to Assistant Superintendent Delbert Sutherland of the Spanish Town Fire Station, emergency units waste time navigating small, congested streets to reach fires in some sections of the busy town.

Sutherland was responding to allegations yesterday that firemen were slow to respond to a fire which razed a house on French Street in the town. Two children were rescued from the board building by neighbours who acted swiftly.

"One factor that prevented us from moving faster to the area is the state of the road in that French Street area; it is a big problem. In fact, all over the place in Spanish Town we couldn't get to the scene of the fire because of how the road situation is with the traffic... People just do as they like, they park all over the road and block up the whole of the place," said Sutherland.

"It's either they (authorities) break down that old burnt down court house that they don't have any use for and let people park over there, or something. The roads cannot stay like this, it prevents people from receiving emergency attention when they need it most," added Sutherland.

He said that the use of the 110 emergency number was also hindering them from responding quickly as the calls have to go through operators before they are passed onto the station.

"That process takes about five minutes before the call gets to us. By that time the whole place would have already gone up in flames," he said.

But while some residents lamented the "slow" response by the firefighters, most praised the heroics of two mechanics who stormed into the burning building and rescued the children.

"Trust me, if it was not for them they would burn up in the building today. Forget about the things them, that is the least," said a female resident, who told the Observer that the children's father was elsewhere in the community when the fire started.

"I don't know exactly what happened, all I saw was just pure smoke coming from under the roof and same time the older girl came out shouting 'fire'," said Damion Brown, one of the rescuers.

"We just rushed toward the building same time. I ran to the front and my friend ran to the back. The front door was locked but we managed to pull the two other children out the back."

Damage to the property was estimated at $250,000. Firefighters could not say what started the blaze.

A May 21 trial date was set in the case of a man who allegedly punched his ex-girlfriend in the face after she threw a bucket of water on his bed.

Allegations are that 21-year-old Nicholas Scott had a fight with the female complainant, at which time he cut her. The matter was reported to the police and Scott was arrested and charged with unlawful wounding.

doused his bed

Scott denied the allegations however, stating that he only punched the complainant after she set one of his sheets on fire and doused his bed with water during an argument.

The complainant, on the other hand, said she only threw water on the bed after Scott threw the same on her. She further went on to ask the court to sentence Scott to three weeks in prison for the offence.

Senior Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey, however, set a May 21 trial date for the matter.
In the chorus of this song its says "kartel come breed mi"; but it sound like a man a tell kartel fi come breed him; but i not jumping to conclusion just pree the song (chorus) and tell me what u think.

Song bird Alaine was nominated as Best Female vocalist in the 2008 International Reggae World Music Awards.

The Female DJ Bashment extravanganza will also be showcasing female disc jockey talent from Anguilla, Antigua, Barbados, St Maarten, Jamaica and St Kitts.

Six ladies will present their music and hosting repertoire. The artists for the grand event are some the Caribbeans top female radio personalities and club Disc Jockeys - DJ Lady Passion, DJ Lady Destiny, DJ Sunshine, DJ hurricane, Sister Soldiers and Sister Sensia.

Lady Passion (Desiree Richardson), the inspiration behind the event comments, I wanted to put the spotlight on female DJs in the area. My aim was to provide them with the opportunity to get exposure and develop their talent. Most of the artistes are radio personalities and some are now also exploring their talent through performing at music clubs. This event is an excellent platform for the ladies to make their mark.

Lady Passion is one of the most popular radio personalities in Anguilla.

Snoop Dogg2b.gif maybe seeing more legal trouble this time on behalf of one of his employees.

TMZ.com reported that yesterday, police in Norflolk, VA received a tip that a suspicious package had arrived in the mail from Canada to the Norfolk Plaza Hotel2b.gif, where the rapper and his entourage were staying.

The report indicates that police monitored the package, which was addressed to one of Snoop's employees. When the employee came to pick up the package, police arrested him for misdemeanor marijuana possession.

Snoop Dogg let police know that the marijuana was for him, revealing a medical marijuana card.

It is unclear at this point whether or not the card will protect Snoop from the charge. Police are currently investigating.

Artists such as Snoop Dogg, DJ Quik and Bishop Lamont have all commented on the vast amount of unreleased material Dr. Dre  keeps in the Aftermath vaults. And it would seem that The Doctor began this habit back in his Death Row days, as his former label is making previously unreleased material from The Chronic available. In a recent conversation with HipHopDX, Death Row/WIDEawake Entertainment Senior Vice President John Payne explained how the label plans to reintroduce a classic album to a new generation.

Were re-releasing The Chronic, and its going to be called, The Chronic Relit, Payne said. It will be remastered with a couple more songs that were done at that same time as well as a lot of footage and artwork. Were remastering it so that it works with todays technology, but were not changing the mixes or doing anything like that.

Payne said the label has every intention of keeping the vast amount of Death Row recordings both original and fresh at the same time. And, in a bit of surprising news, he added that fans will have an opportunity to be involved in a separate online competition, allowing them to rap over classic Dr. Dre production.

There are a couple Dre tracks that had no third verse, and were going to be seeking people to complete them, Payne added. We wont go to the entertainment realm. We just want average, everyday people.

Tracks with added verses from fans will not be included on the reissue of The Chronic. As the finishing touches are being put on the projects, Payne explained that release dates and more information on how artists can submit verses will be announced. HipHopDX will provide more details and information as they are available.
 Manchester United are reported to have tabled a Ł62.5m bid to Bayern Munich to secure the services of French midfielder Franck Ribery as a contingency should Cristiano Ronaldo leave for Real Madrid this summer.

Franck Ribery: Bundesliga star

 

The Guardian report that United made the offer some weeks ago after club scouts repeatedly watched the 26-year-old in action.

The offer, which would smash the current world record transfer of Ł44m set in 2001 when Real Madrid signed Zinedine Zidane from Juventus, would only come into effect if Ronaldo leaves for the Bernabeu.

While the paper contends that the Portuguese star is almost certain to leave, earlier this week the World Player of the Year said: "I'm no longer thinking of Madrid. That dream is dead," but despite the 24-year-old's comments speculation over his future and links with Madrid are inevitable given his standing in the game.

Although Bayern are understood to have turned down United's offer it could regarded as an opening gambit in negotiations for an increasingly unsettled player who has no shortage of suitors, with Barcelona and Manchester City already linked with summer bids.

Ribery has grown increasingly discontented at the Bundesliga club this season and last week said that he might have to leave unless the club can secure Champions League football next season.

Only Germany's top two teams are guaranteed places in the Champions League and while Bayern are currently second three points off behind leaders VfL Wolfsburg Hertha Berlin, Vfb Stuttgart and Hamburg are keeping the pressure on Bayern.

The former Marseille player, who moved to Munich in 2007 and is contracted to Bayern until 2011, has so far rejected the chance to begin talks over a new contract.

Over the weekend Bayern were linked a move for Werder Bremen's Brazilian playmakerDiego, with general manager Uli Hoeness quoted in the Suddeutsche Zeitung newspaper saying Diego "becomes an issue for us if Ribery actually leaves." In response Werder director of sport Klaus Allofs admitted: "I cannot say that we will not be selling any player because somebody may come in with a gigantic offer," said Allofs. "If Bayern were to call, then I would not hang up."

Italian giants Juventus have already made contact with Bremen about Diego, while Serie A rivals Inter Milan are also thought to be keen on the attacking midfielder.

After a widely-reported prison sentence, Yonkers Rap veteran DMX is a free man. According to AllHipHop.com, late yesterday, the one-time Def Jam2b.gif Records star was released from Arizona's Maricopa County Jail.

The 90 day sentence was extended from late last year, after the rapper had some highly-publicized disputes with guards, including a February incident involving a lunch tray. The rapper was also recently ordered to pay over a quarter of a million dollars for a 2004 road rage/police impersonating civil suit.

Having last released 2006's Year Of The Dog...Again [on Columbia Records the same imprint that first signed the rapper in 1991, DMX has stated previously that he intends to release a double album entitled Walk With Me Now and Fly With Me Later. The albums will be split between Hip Hop and Gospel. There has been no confirmation of DMX being signed to a label, or his post-prison release plans.

Alaine Laughton, more popularly known simply by her first / stage name - Alaine - has been fined over J$1M by the Jamaica Customs Department for breaches of the Customs Act.

Allegations are that in 2008, the singer imported a damaged 2007 BMW motor car with a declared value of US$8915. The Customs Department however conducted investigations, and found that the car was undervalued. It was seized and Alaine was fined a penalty of three times the duty which was not paid. She has reportedly apologized and paid the fine, but is also insisting that she was not actually involved in the importation of the vehicle, even though it was shipped in her name.

Commissioner of Customs, Danville Walker is imploring that persons ensure that their broker(s) accurately declare the value of items being imported on their behalf.

Singer Rihanna has a new song, Silly Boy, featuring Lady Gaga.The track was released yesterday (May 12) and while the lyrics don't explicitly name Chris, it's obvious the ode is directed to him.

Until now, the singer has opted to take the high road and maintain a dignified silence throughout the overly publicized scandal between her and Chris Brown. RiRi seemed to find solace in the midst of her drama by parlaying at tropical beaches and getting reacquainted with an ex-boo. Then insult was added to injury. Sources believe Rihanna was obligated to garner some type of "get back" when nude photos of her were leaked over the internet a few weeks ago.
Rihanna said of her former boyfriend in the verse:

'I said I'm not coming back. You fooled me once, but you can't have that ego turning... Cause you had a good girl, good girl. That's a keeper. You had a good girl, good girl but didn't know how to treat her. So, silly boy, get out my face! Why do you like the way regrets taste?"

The couple split earlier this year after Brown allegedly assaulted the singer after a pre-Grammy party in LA. Chris Brown was charged with two assault related felonies and is due back in court on May 28.



Channel 13 reports "ODESSA - It's an unthinkable crime: four boys between the ages of 14 and 15 years old are accused of brutally assaulting a 13-year-old boy at school. Hillsborough Sheriff investigators say the attack happened at Walker Middle School in Odessa. Detectives say on April 30th, the boys attacked the victim in the school locker room."

MSNBC reports:

FRIBOURG, Switzerland - Swiss police said they are investigating a 7-year-old girl's discovery of a condom in her McDonald's Happy Meal.

Fribourg state police said the mother called them after the girl discovered the condom among her French fries.

Police said Monday they were investigating where the condom came from and how it got into the Happy Meal. They said an analysis was being done to determine if the condom posed a health risk.

Yonkers Hip-Hop star DMX is free after serving over 90 days in jail on drug, fraud, and animal cruelty charges, a representative confirmed with AllHipHop.com. The rapper was released from "Tent City," aka the Maricopa County Jail, late yesterday afternoon (May 13).

DMX's conviction and prison sentence was a culmination of a 2008 filled with legal woes.

The rappers last arrest resulted in an extradition back to Phoenix after attempting to hide out in producer Scott Storchs Florida mansion.

Originally, DMX, born Earl Simmons, was to serve only 90 days in jail.

His tenure was extended when he faced additional charges for allegedly assaulting a corrections officer over a food dispute.

During his incarceration, X revealed plans to start a Christian ministry upon his release.

"I'm gonna start a TV show called Pain and Perseverance, it's about how I can reach people that the average person can't reach because I'm grounded," he stated. "I'm going to give my first sermon, in the church. That's going to be incredible for me and hopefully the congregation of that church. I've completed my gospel album. On every one of my albums there's been a gospel song and prayer. Because of my image those songs are never made singles except my sixth album where they did 'Lord Give Me a Sign.'"

DMX was originally supposed to release a double album, one with his Hip-Hop comeback titled Walk With Me Now, the other a gospel album titled You'll Fly with Me Later.

Both projects remain in limbo.

At press time, DMX has not released a statement confirming his plans for the rest of 2009.

However, now Jadakiss has proclaimed that he wants to sign artists from the other side of the nation.  Im trying to start this D-Block West thing over here. Im looking for everybody. Hit me up, the rapper told radio host Devi Dev of hardknock.tv. Send your music, send your demos, send your packages and lets see what we can do. "Im not discriminating female [or] male, he said. Whatevers going on, we can make it happen. If you hot, you hot. The rapper said he was going beyond talk in wooing the West.

T.I. is scheduled to turn himself in for his one year and one day jail sentence, a week later than expected.

TMZ has learned that Tip will be reporting to a low security prison in Forrest City Arkansas on May 26 and he will not be receiving any special treatment. He is set to be a part of the general population, where he will be assigned to work detail with 1,500 other inmates.

Police say they have arrested a man suspected of fatally stabbing his AOL chat buddy after she refused to meet him again in person after an initial encounter.

Police say 23-year-old Nimzay (NIM'-Zay) Aponte was killed in a Bronx park Tuesday as she sat with a friend. She told police before she died that "Mike" did it, referring to a person she met on AOL's instant messaging service.

Here's one way to pump up the economy.

Drugmaker Pfizer announced today that it will provide 70 of its most widely prescribed drugs --- including the wonder-drug Viagra --- for free to people who have lost their jobs and health insurance during the recession.

The world's biggest drugmaker said it will give away the little blue pills, and other medicine, for up to a year to any American who lost their job starting on Jan. 1 and had been taking the Pfizer drug for three months or more.

The announcement comes amid massive job losses caused by the recession.

"Everybody knows now a neighbor, a relative who has lost their job and is losing their insurance. People are definitely hurting out there," Dr. Jorge Puente, Pfizer's head of pharmaceuticals, told The Associated Press.

Hitmaker T-Pain has become a father for a third time, welcoming to his family a second son last Saturday (May 9). T-Pain, real name Faheem Rasheed Najm, had to cancel a scheduled Tuesday (May 12) appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to tend his wife Amber and new child. On the show, T-Pain had rehearsed with comedian Andy Samberg and The Lonely Island to do an autotune sketch comedy song entitled Im On a Boat with T-Pain.  At press time, T-Pain has not announced the name of the baby. The couples previous children are daughter Lyriq and son Muziq. This year, T-Pain is up for several BET Awards, including Best Male R&B Artist, Best Collaboration (with Jamie Foxx), and Video of the Year (Blame It).


 240x240.aspx                                                                                                                                             Only eleven days remain until rapper must report to begin serving his federal prison sentence in connection to his October 2007 arrest for possession of firearms by a convicted felon. The Atlanta-based Grand Hustle/Atlantic recording artist has until noon on May 26 to surrender himself to federal authorities outside of Little Rock, Arkansas, where he will be serving the entirety of his sentence. On March 27, in keeping with a plea agreement submitted in March 2008, T.I. was sentenced to serve one year and one day in a federal facility. The rapper, born Clifford Harris, was also sentenced to pay a $100,300 fine, property forfeiture, supervised release for three years after he is released from prison, 365 days of home confinement and 1,500 hours of community service. At the time of sentencing, he had already fulfilled 305 of home confinement and 1,030 hours of community service. He documented a portion of his community service efforts via the MTV reality show T.I.s Road to Redemption. Prior to receiving his sentence, T.I. addressed the court saying that he would like to thank some and apologize to others.  In my life, I have been placed in the worst-case scenario and had to make the best of it, he continued. Most often, things I have learned have been from trial and error. I knew no way to protect myself than to arm myself. T.I. will be serving his sentence at the Forrest City Federal Correctional Complexs low security facility, located approximately 85 miles east of Little Rock and 45 miles west of Memphis, Tennessee. Tonight (May 15) T.I. and the Grand Hustle family will host a private going away party for in Miami.

A judge in Stuttgart, Germany, is currently trying to decide on a lawsuit in which a man hired his neighbour to impregnate his wife.

It gets weirder.

Demetrius Soupolos, 29, and his former beauty queen wife, Traute, were very keen to have a child together, but Demetrius was sterile so they began to seek out other possible options.

The option the couple eventually decided on was to hire their neighbour Frank Maus, 34, to impregnate Traute.

Maus, who was already married with two children agreed to do the job for the fee of 2,000. For three evenings a week for the next six months, a total of 72 different times, Maus tried to impregnate Traute.

When his own wife objected, Maus explained that he was "only doing it for the money."

After the unsuccessful six-month period Soupolos insisted that Maus take a medical examination. The doctor concluded that Maus was also sterile, which forced his wife into admitting that their two children did not belong to him.

Soupolos is now suing Maus in an effort to get his money back. Maus' argument is that he did not guarantee conception, only that he would try his hardest.

weird hahahahahaha!!!

CHIMNEY RECORDS FEATURE

Fresh off the release of their brand new Movie Star riddim, Jordan McClure and David Hizzle Hayle, the young up-and-coming producers and founders of Chimney Records, are featured in todays Jamaica Observer newspaper. Check out the interview feature here, as Garfene Grandison & Ishena Robinson ask them a range of questions covering everything from how they got interested in producing music to their most memorable experience (which was the first time they voiced Kartel and he rolled up with an entourage of dozens).

20090511T180000-0500_151208_OBS_CHIMNEY_RECORDS__RELEASING_THE_HITS__1.jpg
Eminem is currently gearing up for the release of his eagerly awaited new album Relapse, in stores on May 19 and has recently inked an exclusive blockbuster deal with Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) that already includes the sequel Relapse 2.
"Eminem continues to be an indelible and iconic musical presence around the world," David Renzer, chairman and CEO of UMPG, said. "I am so pleased that we will be working with his manager, Paul Rosenberg and the Interscope team on continuing to bring his amazing music to a worldwide audience."

"We are excited about the future of our continued relationship with UMPG, and we look forward to many more years of chart-topping success together," Eminem said in an official statement.

What's more? Eminem's new single Beautiful has just been released on iTunes and is the only track on Relapse that is entirely produced by Em himself.

"It was the only song that marks that period without bringing me back to that place. Every other track not only didn't fit with the album, but when I listened to it, it would bring up bad memories," Eminem said about Beautiful.

Relapse will be released on May 19.
DJ Quik might possibly be one of the most talkative artists on the planet. But after news of him speaking on Detox hit the Internet [click to read], the multi-dimensional Compton native has been censoring himself. After much prying, HipHopDX convinced Quik to tell fans what to expect on Dr. Dre2b.gifs Detox as well as his upcoming collaborations with Kurupt, Rakim, Snoop Dogg2b.gif and Teddy Riley2b.gif.

I was just listening to some Dr. Dre music recently, and it hit me so hard that I got emotional about it, Quik says of his preview of Detox. Then I had to think to myself, Well, what else would I expect from Dr. Dre? Catching himself before he could give any concrete details, Quik added, I cant talk about Detox no more. But Im so excited for yall to hear it that I cant f**kin wait.

Quik was a bit more forthcoming when questioned about former Aftermath signee, Rakim. He neither confirmed nor denied rumors that he flew to New York to lay down some new music with Rakim Allah, but he seemed to have some inside information about recent work with one of Hip Hop's greatest emcees of all time.

He also keeps to himself a lot, and he doesnt party out like that, Quik noted. When he writes, he writes seriously. I got a chance to listen to his new stuff recently, and he still sounds like Rakim. Hes still that guy with or without a new record. So, Im giving him his time, and when he wanna f**k with me Ima be ready. Just know when he calls, Sergeant is gone be ready.

Quik explained that he was more or less retired, before Snoop Dogg [click to read] asked him to help out with the 2008 album, Ego Trippin [click to read]. Having been rejuvenated by logging hours in the studio with Snoop, Kurupt and Teddy Riley [click to read], two more projects were birthed, Quik and Kurupts Blaqout album and an as-yet-unnamed project with Quik, Riley and Snoop (QDT).

I think we made a good record and its starting to make sense to us, because we did something that we enjoy, Quik says of Blaqout. We didnt do it to compete against nobody; we just did it for the sake of music. Case in pointwe got a dope studio that captured the vibe and fit perfectly. Its not even like work. Were just stretching out and having a good time.

Although the QDT project has no set release date, Quik says that the musical direction may be surprising to some people.

The next inception is that were gonna go more electronica with it, Quik explained. Its gonna be kind of electric. Its funk music, its dance music, but its not my old gangster rap or Teddys New Jack Swing. Its Snoop doing Ego Trippin or his earlier stuff. But I cant snitch on it.

Stonia jumped back in the car and closed the door and pulled up through the gate to turn around and leave but the gate wouldnt open because she hadnt been buzzed in. I pulled up right behind her to put the pressure on her and the car behind us buzzed the gate open with their remote. She shot through the gate, sped up, turned around and tried to head out of the complex but I caught up and stayed behind her. I knew she was spooked that she was caught and that I stayed on her tail so she hit her breaks, I hit mine and my truck tapped the back of her car. I slammed the car in park and jumped out.

Okay, you see what you made me do you stupid bitch? I yelled at her as I walked up to her door. You bitches are looking for me? Here I go. Yall looking for me right? What the f**k are you doing by my house?

Stonia and her friend in the passenger seat jump out of the car and the friend said, You see what the f**k you did to my car?

Whatever, you did it to your own f**king car, I tossed back while looking down at the small crack my big metal bumper had made. She did it to your car because she slammed on the brakes really hard.

Bitch, this is a brand new car, the friend went on. Look what the f**k you did to my car you stupid bitch.

But you bitches were looking for me, right? Here I go. I walked up to Stonia standing next to the open drivers side door and got in her face, we yelled and cursed at each other. Then her friend jumped and the three of us started slapping and pushing at each other, we started to really fight. Before it could get too far a man came and tried to break up the fight while screaming at us to stop. Stonia got free and jumped in the car and I grabbed onto her arm and tried to pull her out of the car while I kicked at the car door.

Another man came out of nowhere, grabbed me hard and pushed me to the ground and I heard him say, Get on the ground. Youre under arrest. I felt my stomach drop out as I realized that the two men were plainclothes cops and they saw me kicking in the door and trying to drag Stonia from the car. I screamed at them to let me up because my baby was in the car. They finally picked me up and took me over to the squad car and had me wait while the one that arrested me questioned the two girls. Then he questioned me and as I told him what happened he said, The storys not adding up.

Officer, I live here. You can see my license, I pulled my license out and showed him my address. I live here. I was going to pick up my kids. This is my sons sisters mother. We have the same childs father and theres been some beef for a while.

While I told him my story I was angry. I wanted to get out of the cop car and go beat her ass but I knew that wasnt possible. That bitch came to my house and started trouble and the cops didnt care what I said.

imgs8419_small.jpg


Maam, I dont believe anything youre saying, the officer told me. I believe you rammed this truck into the back of the car intentionally because if theyre trying to exit the development why were you behind them?

Sir, if you just listen to me. This is an ongoing situation. I just moved out of my sons fathers house. Id been living with him for a year. Shes always calling me and playing on the phone. Shes always threatening me that shes gonna do this or that. Shes over at my directory box and then took off so I wanted to confront her and ask her what she was doing here. Youre not going to ask them who theyre coming to visit or why theyre here?

The cop was not trying to hear any of it. He said I was the most aggressive one out of the three of us and that he saw me kick the door and pull Stonia out of the car.

Did you ask them who they were coming to visit? I asked him again, trying to make my point. I caught them at my directory box. They really need to explain to you who they were coming to visit and why they were here so you could see who was being aggressive. Thats what makes sense. You shouldnt want to know anything else except who the f**k are they are coming to see? They could be coming to kill me for all I f**king know. What the f**k is wrong with you?

Once I started cussing at the cop they put me under arrest for resisting arrest. They said that because I was being aggressive I had to go to jail. So they pulled the handcuffs out and I backed away.

Are you serious? I cried. Wait a minute. My kids are at school. My babys in the car. What the f**k are you gonna do with my baby here? I need to leave and get my kids. I cant be going to jail. Sir, just let me go.

I lost it. The cop had taken out the handcuffs and when I realized they were going to put them on me I went berserk. I flipped out screaming and cussing and kicking at the cops.

Im going to taser you if you dont get over here, the officer told me but I kicked at him before he could grab me. He reached for me again, got me and slapped cuffs around my wrists. I yelled for people who were watching to help and call my mom so she could call her attorney then I screamed out my moms phone number.

Then I started in on the cop again. Im going to sue the Pembroke Pines Police Department you stupid muthaf**ka. This bitch is stalking me. Shes on my property. What the f**k are you gonna do with her? Please, if youre going to take me to jail will you please at least let me call my mom so she can get my kids from school and come and get my baby?

The officer went and got my cell phone out of the truck and came back and asked me, Is that your baby in the back?

Yeah, thats my baby.

Well, why isnt he in the car seat?

Well, if youd have listened to me, I was trying to explain. He pooped on himself this morning and missed daycare because he had a stomach virus and his car seat is at home. Its wet. I washed it out but it didnt dry yet. I live here, sir. His car seat is on my balcony. I can take you to my house and show you that its still damp. Thats why hes in a seatbelt.

Do you know you could have injured that child? he answered, clearly not caring about anything I just told him. Youre ramming your truck into the back of this car.

Sir, oh my God! I wouldnt dare ram my truck into the back of the car! I insisted. I was horrified he thought I would do such a thing. There was no way I rammed her car intentionally. I bumped her lightly and by accident because I didnt expect the car to break.

And your baby is not in a car seat The cop continued but I couldnt even really hear him. I realized he was really arresting me and I began to cry hysterically so they put me in the back of the police car again.

I could see Stonia sitting on the other side of the small road with about 10 officers. It had become a huge ordeal for some reason. She and her friend agreed to give a recorded statement at the scene, separately.

The officers checked on Lil Will and told me he was fine. He was still strapped in watching the TV in the back of the truck. I had put in one of his kiddie movies on before we left. They let me call my mom on my cell phone and I told her, Mom, please hurry up and get DeAngelo and DeAndre from school. I just caught up with Stonia over here at my gate. I jumped out of the truck and we got in a fight. The police got me. Theyre taking me to jail.

Oh my God, are you serious? my mom screamed into the phone. I knew she was gonna flip out.

Yes, mom. Just get DeAngelo and DeAndre from school because theyve been out there for a little while. Just get somebody to go and get them.

My mom got on it, sent my sister Ebony to pick up the boys and came over to me making it there in 15 minutes when it usually took 30. And she didnt even drive herself because she doesnt, never drove a day in her life. But she was on the scene before the cops could take me anywhere and she had demands. I need my grandson. Give me my daughters keys and her purse. What are you charging her for? Whats your badge number? How the f**k are you taking her to jail on her property where she f**king lives here? These people could have been coming to harm her. What are you gonna do with them?

The officer responded, Nothing. Theyre not going to jail. She was the aggressive one. I saw her kicking the door and trying to pull this girl out of the car.

Well, do you know she lives here? my mom argued.

imgs8429_small.jpg


So what? Shes not the only one who lives here, the office informed her. This is not private property. This is a development. Other people here get visitors.

This is a gated community. This is where she lives. If shes telling you that theyve been having problems and both have kids from the same guy, you should know that. This persons coming to bother her or stalk her.

The cop didnt care what my mom had to say so my mother requested a Sergeant come to the scene. When the Sergeant got there she asked him a simple question. Can these girls give you a persons name and address that theyre coming here to see?

The Sergeant was polite to my mother but didnt follow up with an answer. He just said that I was very disrespectful and they were arresting me because of my aggressive behavior. I was in the back of the cop car crying and screaming like a mental patient. I couldnt believe that I was going to jailover this bitch. I begged my mom to do something but there was nothing she could do. They took me to jail.

They called my mom later that day and told her that I was being charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, the truck being the deadly weapon. The second change was battery and the third charge was child neglect with no intent to harm because I left the child unattended in the truck. If I hadnt gotten out of the truck I wouldnt have gotten that charge at all. I was transported to Broward County Jail and the bond was set at $15,000, which meant we needed $1,500 to bail me out.

I sat in jail for like seven hours before my mother could bring the money to bail me out. My friend T, who was married to Wills manager E-Class, picked me up from the jail. I asked her if she had heard from Will or if he had asked about me but she said no, just told me that E-Class asked what was up and what Stonia was doing showing up at my house. When I got home I asked my mom if Will called and I checked my cell phone but there were no calls. I wasnt going to call him. I knew that if E-Class knew what was up then William did also. I looked in on the boys to make sure everyone was all right then laid down in bed and cried. I had a criminal case and this muthaf**ka didnt even call to check on me or our son?

The first time I met Toccara Jones she was in a bubble bath. Since being chosen as the lucky reporter to interview Ms. Jones for her first KING magazine cover Ive never passed on an opportunity to speak with the eye-catching model turned TV personality. A few weeks ago we hung out at a Lady Hennessy party sharing the latest gossip over some Mojitos but real conversations in dark clubs have never been my thing.

So on a lazy afternoon I gave the Ashley Stewart model a ring and asked her what was going on with her workout DVD, going topless in Italian Vogue last year and what happened with her turn in the Vagina Monologues.

TUD: You sound really comfortable. What are you up to right now?
Toccara: Im just chilling with the family. Were all on the couch laid up and talking and stuff. Trying to make plans to go to the pool or something. My momma is high yellow so she wants to tan and get brown like me. Shell be a sugar baby.

Sounds like fun. So what made you become a member of the Lady Hennessy glam squad?
Hennessy has scholarships they give to kids and its like a customer appreciation thing. Well go to the core consumers in places like Chicago and sign autographs and things like that for loyal customers. The main consumers of Hennessy are men so they picked some really hot ladies to show their appreciation. We also try to get more women to try Hennessy with different mixers.

I didnt see you drink that much at the party though.
Thats good, because Im a lady [laughs].

Speaking of being a lady, talk to me about the Vagina Monologues. Werent you supposed to be on the tour with Deelishis and New York?

Unfortunately, my schedule didnt permit me being a part of it. So I didnt get to be on the tour. Hopefully next year Ill get to do it. I was really looking forward to that. I was going to do the poem about Bob. Hes a vagina connoisseur and he liked to look at it.

What was it about that particular piece that interested you?
Hmmm, I just like it because it was about a woman who was uncomfortable with her vagina and then she ran into a guy who loved vagina and it just made her feel beautiful.

Have you had any Bobs in your life?
Well I am Bob. I love my vagina. I dont need anybody to love my vagina for me.

You are very comfortable with your body indeed. You even posed nude for Italian Vogue last year. What was that experience like?
I get chills every time I talk about that photo shoot. It was the most amazing shoot Ive ever had in my entire life. I just moved into a new apartment and Im decorating it with nothing but Italian Vogue pictures! For them to pick me and to represent full figured women and to be a top feature with Naomi Campbell was amazing. And I tore it up!

Olympic champion sprinter Usain Bolt was in a car crash Wednesday in Jamaica, but police and his manager said he was not seriously injured.

Bolt was apparently speeding on a rain-slicked highway when he lost control of the BMW M3 and it went off the road, police Sgt. David Sheriff told The Associated Press. Sheriff was the first officer to arrive at the scene in St. Catherine parish and found the car heavily damaged.

Bolt and an unidentified female passenger were taken to the hospital, though neither was seriously hurt, Sheriff said.

The track stars manager, Norman Peart, said Bolt sustained nothing more than scratches from thorn bushes when he stepped out of the car on the side of the road.

We are very relieved hes OK, Peart told the AP. Everybody is fine.

Bolts team will conduct tests over the next 48 hours to decide whether he sticks to his competition schedule, Peart said. Bolt has a meet Saturday in Jamaica and is set to run a 150-meter street race in Manchester, England on May 17.

The 22-year-old sprinter won the 100 and 200 meters at the Beijing Olympics and was part of the Jamaica team which won the 4×100 relay. All three gold medals were earned in world record times.

Bolt was given the BMW by his sponsor Puma as a reward for his outstanding performance in the Olympics

Einstein Embarks On U.S. Tour


findImg.php?pic_size=200&table_name=news_img_tab&table_field=img_id&img_id=2387 Alliance deejay Einstein who has been at the center of numerous controversy in the past seems to be on a path to clean up his image as the deejay who once proclaimed himself to be the 'Gun Gad' his singing a different tune these days.

Since the implementation of the stringent guidelines by the Broadcasting Commission the deejay has resorted to more conscious subject matters to speak about in his music and this new twist appears to be reaping some rewards.

The deejay currently has several singles most notably 'Safe and Warm' and 'Is This Love' enjoying heavy rotation on the airwaves and is slated to shoot videos for both projects in the coming days.

Einstein left the island last weekend (May 2) to embark on a month long tour of the United States after which he will shift his focus to Europe where he's expected to make stops in Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Italy amongst others.

While in the U.S. the Cassia Park entertainer will be teaming up with International Rap stars Ghost Rider, Paul Wall and Shorty Lou for the video of their recent collaboration.

We have embedded a copy of his latest video below for your viewing pleasure (see player below)

TAKE LOOK BLESS

The recent incident with Michael Mineo claiming he was sodomized with a baton by police officers in Brooklyn has shown that police brutality is still a major problem in New York. This is not the first time a minority male has been sodomized by an NYPD officer.

Its seem as if most incidents of brutality in New York involve either sodomy or the shooting of unarmed and innocent civilians. As disturbing as the events actually are, even more disturbing is the amount of times that officers are acquitted for their actions. Here are some of the most disturbing occurrences of police brutality in New York in recent memory.

1. Abner Louima.

valbrun01s.jpg

What happened to Abner Louima wouldve been disturbing if it happened in the Abu Graib prisons. Abner Louima was at a club in Brooklyn when a fight broke out. Policeman, Justin Volpe, mistakenly took Louima for a man who *u*ker punched him and began beating him up on the street.

Justin Volpe

poar02_louima9712.jpg

Officers took Louima back to the precinct where Volpe continued to beat him. Volpe Kicked him in the testicles and sodomized him with a broomstick, causing critical internal damage. After he was done, Volpe, proudly displayed the excrement and *lo** stained broomstick to his co-workers and boasted that he had broken a man. Volpe then threatened to kill Louima and his family if he told anyone.

Volpe admitted in court to sodomizing Louima and was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Only one other cop involved in the incident, Chris Schwartz, served any time. Louima sued the city successfully for $5.8 million.

2. Sean Bell

sean_bell_narrowweb__300x3740.jpg

Sean Bell was killed on the morning of his wedding day at a strip club in queens. After leaving the nightclub, Bell and his friends were confronted by a plainclothes undercover officer who did not identify himself. When Bell sped off the officer along with his back up, let off 50 rounds into Bells vehicle, killing him and severely injuring his friends.

Although nobody in the car was found with a gun, police continued to smear Bells character after the incident as if Bell and his friends were under investigation and not the police officers. The officers were charged with manslaughter, reckless endangerment and assault but were all acquitted. Protests erupted all over New York and Al Sharpton was arrested.

3. Amadou Diallo

1101000306_400.jpg

Diallo was an immigrant from the republic of Guinea who despite his education worked selling DVDs and socks on 14th St while studying at night. While returning to to his home after a meal, Diallo caught the eye of 5 NYPD officers who believed he fit the description of a serial rapist. The officers followed him to his apartment door. When Diallo reached into his jacket, a police officer yelled gun and the other officers let off 41 shots, 19 hitting Diallo. No gun was found on Diallo, only a wallet he pulled out to identify himself.

31diallo-600.jpg

The officers were charged with second-degree murder and reckless endangerment but were acquitted after the trial was moved from the Bronx to more cop-friendly Albany, New York. Diallos mother sued the city for $61 million (20 million plus a million for each shot fired) and wound up being awarded $3 million.

4. Randolph Evans

15 year old Randolph Evans was shot and killed on Thanksgiving Night in 1976. Officer, Robert Torsney, was called to a housing project in Brooklyn to investigate a man with a gun. He met with group of young black men and proceeded to shoot the unarmed Evans for no given reason.  Although he never was treated for epilepsy, Torsneys defense maintained that he killed Evans because of a rare case of epilepsy and he was acquitted on the grounds of mental insanity.

5. Alberta Spruil.

spruill-thumbnail.jpg

Albert Spruil was a 57 year old church-going city worker. Her only crime was living in the wrong neighborhood. Cops believed that there was a large amount of guns, drugs and vicious dogs in her Harlem apartment. Without knocking they battered her door in and threw a flash grenade into her apartment. Although they found now weapons or drugs in her apartment, they put her in handcuffs. Despite the fact that she told them she had a heart problem, it took an hour and half to get her to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. The no knock raids have also killed a 92 year old black woman in Atlanta. Although no officers were charged in the incident, Spruils family collected $1.6 million for the incident.

frankiepaul.gifWow, there is no limitations when you are blind. Frankie Paul is proving that when it comes to the fairer sex...what's the big deal if you are blind...check out this story in Chat!

Singer Frankie Paul says he has not one, but four wives pending in the West African state of Gambia, where he has been living for he past 11 years. This, however, represent a few steps down from the seven he was quoted as having on hold five years ago.

A state which is 95 per cent Muslim, the singer says he was converted to that religion in 2001 and it is that which allows him to exercise the option of choosing multiple legal partners.

I can marry several times and they will all be legal, he told Chat! in an interview recently backstage Riche Stephens Take Me Away concert on which he did a cameo. He added, however, that he was not yet ready to marry any (or all) of the wives as there were certain things he needed to put in place first.

In the meantime, the artiste, who describes himself as a sort of government minister for one of the provinces, has adopted nine children for whom he is totally responsible. I have adopted seven boys and two girls ranging in ages from 13 to 18, he said with pride.


The blind singer, who enjoys a good relationship with the Gambian president, Yahya Jammeh, is the musical director on call and is looking forward to again performing for the president on his May 25 birthday bash.

Every year there is a huge celebration for the presidents birthday and I always perform for him. Hes a wonderful person and the country is so peaceful when compared to Jamaicaand the economy is fine, Frankie Paul explained. He recently released an album on the VP Records imprint, Think Say Dem Know Me. The songs, he says, were recorded in London.

Now it seems its time for the dancers to catch the virus. Dancer Sadiki said last week 10 men aligned to Sample Six who alleged that he was spreading rumours that Sample Six was a homosexual, accosted him.

Sadiki said he had to seek medical attention after someone threw a bottle and hit him in the head and had to get 24 stitches to his head.

However, Sample Six said Sadiki was just trying to look a hype.

I talked to his babymother for three days straight asking her not to follow up the case because Sadiki call mi from prison and say him caan handle jail, he said.

From BallerStatus.com -- "Flavor of Love 2" star, Saaphyri Windsor, is currently in prison serving a three-year sentence, reports AOL's BlackVoices.

Maybe that's why she fell off the face of the planet.

The reality show star, who won $50,000 on the "Flavor of Love" spin-off "Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School ," is currently incarcerated for failure to appear in court to face identity theft charges stemming from a 2004 arrest.

Windsor allegedly stole her uncle's identity, and using it to rack-up thousands of dollars in debt. One thing she purchased were breast impants.

She eventually pled no contest to the charges and was scheduled to be sentenced in November 2005, but never showed in court.

Windsor had been on the run for three years, but her luck ran out when she was pulled over in Los Angeles last November for driving with an invalid license.

The 28-year-old TV talent, who had been competing on VH1's other series 'I Love Money,' told fans via a Twitter post about her troubles with the law.

"If you haven't heard that I'm in jail, you know now. Yes it's true. If you like you can write me. My cousin is maintaining my twitter account," she tweeted.

To write Saaphyri, the info is as follows:

Saaphyri Wanda Scott
X359545 C.I.W. Barnerberg B 1137 Low
16756 Chino Corona Road
Coronda, CA 92880

Saaphyri became a popular "Flavor of Love 2" contestant, thanks to her infamous fight with contestant H-Town.

The man arrested in connection with last Friday's abduction and suspected rape of a five-year-old girl in Ocho Rios, St Ann, is to be questioned soon by the police.

Police reports are that last Friday, the child was at the market in the care of relatives. It is alleged that the attacker lured her away. The child was later seen by a taxi operator walking naked on a deserted road. He took her to the police station and she was later taken to hospital where she was examined. The police say though it is suspected that she had been raped, they have yet to receive confirmation from doctors.

The child however had marks of abuse all over her body. She reportedly also had a wound to the forehead.

The Ocho Rios Police are investigating.
A NORTH Clare resident who admitted to masturbating while following young women around Galway City may be stripped of his crown as Irelands Most Romantic Man.
Northern Ireland-based publication, The Irish Wedding Journal, awarded Aidan Clifford and his partner Ellen Spence the title of Irelands Most Romantic Couple following a nationwide competition last week.
The Clare People now understands that the magazine may seek to strip the couple of their title, along with the 46,000 first prize, because of revelations over Cliffords previous conduct.
Clifford was convicted of committing two acts which were offensive to public morals and decency by Galway District Court last year.
He admitted to following women around Galway City in his car while masturbating, on his days off from his Ballyvaughan job. Sentencing in the case was delayed for one year by Judge Mary Fahy and is due to take place in Galway next Monday.
Originally from Kerry, Clifford has been living and working in the Burren area for a number of years. The couple currently live in Kinvara, where Ms Spence has recently launched a new business, while Mr Clifford currently works in Ballyvaughan.
A number of Ballyvaughan residents contacted The Irish Wedding Journal last week, demanding that Mr Clifford be stripped of the prize.
Speaking to The Clare People, one resident described the situation as a total disgrace.  
My own grandchildren play down in Ballyvaughan all the time. Its bad enough to think that this man [Clifford] is around, never mind putting him up on a pedestal like this, he said.
Another local resident told The Clare People that there was a lot of animosity here [in Ballyvaughan] about it. Everybody is disgusted.
The Irish Wedding Journal has declined to comment on the matter except to say that it organised the competition in good faith. However, The Clare People understands that the publication is currently examining its legal standing in relation to the competition.
The couple beat off stiff competition from dozens of other entries from the whole island of Ireland to win the prize. The couple met on a skiing trip in Italy in January of 2007.
Spence, who is from Lurgan in Northern Ireland, moved to Kinvara last year to be closer to her partner.
Their 46,000 prize includes a wedding reception in the renowned Parknasilla Resort in Kerry, a designer wedding dress from either Kathy de Stafford in Dublin or Blush Bridal in Belfast and a luxury Sandals honeymoon from Tropical Places.

50 Cent and Bette Midler first got to know each other when they collaborated developing a public garden in 50 Cent's old hood Jamaica Queens. Now according to EOnline there might be a duet in the works.

Bette Midler told EOnline: "I was hoping we'd sing songs from the Depression, but he's so young that I don't think he knows any of them, I'm going to have to check things out and see what he feels like singing."

On May 19th both, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and Bette Midler will attend the Restoration Project's eighth annual spring picnic in New York City's Fort Tryon Park.

Eminem has been candid about battling drug addiction in cover stories in XXL and Vibe. Now, in an interview with Detroit's Metro Times, the rapper reveals what pop star helped him cope during his rehab.

"I talk to Elton [John] a lot. We became friends, and I talk to him about things, career-wise," Eminem said. "And he had a substance-abuse problem in the past. So when I first wanted to get sober, I called him and spoke to him about it, because, you know, he's somebody who's in the business and can identify and relate to the lifestyle and how hectic things can be. He understands, like, the pressure and any other reasons that you wanna come up with for doing drugs.

"Me and him have had similar lives and stuff," Em continued. "So I reached out to him and told him, 'Look, I'm going through a problem, and I need your advice.' I also talked to T.I. a lot and, you know, we exchange advice."

Eminem offered a candid take on the recent events in his life. Although he faced a litany of challenges since his last solo album, from his addiction to the passing of his friend Proof, Em didn't deliver one big sob story. He was funny, of course, but also conflicted during the conversation.

About Bill O'Reilly, the conservative talking head who lashed out against Em's "We Made You" video, the rapper said, "Um, well, that guy's a turd. I don't know of a better way to put it than to just say he's a turd."

Em was surprisingly open about his decision to dis Jessica Simpson in "We Made You." His own weight gain wasn't the reason he showed some compassion, however. Turns out Slim Shady is a Cowboys fan and he didn't want to upset Simpson's boyfriend, Dallas quarterback Tony Romo.

"I've always wanted people to be able to look back at each video and go, 'Oh, remember what was going on at that moment?' You know what I mean? 'Oh, that's when Jessica Simpson got fat. Oh, OK!' " Em said. "And even if she gets thin again, that's fine. But for that moment in time, she was fat. But then I started thinking, like, 'Man!' I was telling [manager] Paul [Rosenberg] and everyone around me, 'Man, I don't wanna piss Tony Romo off and he starts throwing games for the Cowboys!' "
