I don't know anything about it except that I hope for his sake it's just a rumor.  That bitch is soulless and were I a heterosexual male I wouldn't want anything to do with her beyond a one-nighter.  Did you see what she did to &lt;span&gt;Follieri&lt;/span&gt; on &lt;span&gt;Saturday Night Live&lt;/span&gt;?  Okay, so it's a woman's right to trash her ex after her ex turns out to be a con-artist snake who nearly ruined her reputation.  But damn.  To do it on live television?  Chick has a lump of coal for a heart.</description>

All I did was check myself in and have a fat band fitted',&#34; a source said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;Courtney has always had problems with her appearance and is convinced she is ugly and fat. Two years ago she had a gastric band fitted at a surgery in Beverly Hills.&lt;/p&gt;&#34;Lots of doctors refused to do it as she was nowhere near obese, just a little overweight, but eventually she found one. &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#34;And as soon as she had the operation the excess weight started to drop off her. Now she is just skin and bones and looks terrible.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I always assumed she was just on crack.  Honestly, she thinks she looks better like that?  I've seen emaciated corpses that had more sex appeal.  &lt;span&gt;Madonna&lt;/span&gt; looks like a beauty queen compared to this freak.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

They've also apparently been feeding her well.  Now she's not just an insufferable bitch, she's a fat, insufferable bitch.  And Canadian, which only makes it worse.</description>

The picture on the notebook is &lt;span&gt;Barack Obama&lt;/span&gt;.  Brad is carefully studying one side of the presidential race so he can make an informed decision come November.  &lt;span&gt;Angelina&lt;/span&gt; still hasn't made up her mind between Juggy and Mummy-Arms (I like it better than Crip-Arms).  A buck says she ends up writing in herself.</description>

The hipster geek thing is a decent bit but I don't know how much farther she can go on it.  And McCain's going to lose so Palin won't be any good beyond November.  Maybe she could star in a female remake of &lt;span&gt;Scarface&lt;/span&gt;.</description>

						<description>&lt;span style=&#34;font-size: 10pt&#34;&gt;&lt;font face=&#34;Arial&#34;&gt; British author Ian Fleming, creator of the fictional secret agent James Bond, has been named as the person responsible for saving the real-life MI6.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p style=&#34;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&#34; class=&#34;MsoNormal&#34; align=&#34;justify&#34;&gt;&lt;span style=&#34;font-size: 10pt&#34;&gt;&lt;font face=&#34;Arial&#34;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&#34;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&#34; class=&#34;MsoNormal&#34; align=&#34;justify&#34;&gt;&lt;span style=&#34;font-size: 10pt&#34;&gt;&lt;font face=&#34;Arial&#34;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&#34;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&#34; class=&#34;MsoNormal&#34; align=&#34;justify&#34;&gt;&lt;span style=&#34;font-size: 10pt&#34;&gt;&lt;font face=&#34;Arial&#34;&gt;They reason they wanted to have their own spy service was because an army officer had been put in charge of MI6, a post that had traditionally been held by a navy officer.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&#34;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&#34; class=&#34;MsoNormal&#34; align=&#34;justify&#34;&gt;&lt;span style=&#34;font-size: 10pt&#34;&gt;&lt;font face=&#34;Arial&#34;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&#34;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&#34; class=&#34;MsoNormal&#34; align=&#34;justify&#34;&gt;&lt;span style=&#34;font-size: 10pt&#34;&gt;&lt;font face=&#34;Arial&#34;&gt;Fleming, who was then the British Navy''s liaison officer with MI6, steered them away from the idea, warning that if the spy agency was downgraded there was &amp;ldquo;a grave danger of letting the baby out with the bath water&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&#34;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&#34; class=&#34;MsoNormal&#34; align=&#34;justify&#34;&gt;&lt;span style=&#34;font-size: 10pt&#34;&gt;&lt;font face=&#34;Arial&#34;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

into the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) by allowing it to be infiltrated by members of the Cambridge spy ring.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&#34;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&#34; class=&#34;MsoNormal&#34;

the Telegraph quoted him as having said.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&#34;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&#34; class=&#34;MsoNormal&#34; align=&#34;justify&#34;&gt;&lt;span style=&#34;font-size: 10pt&#34;&gt;&lt;font face=&#34;Arial&#34;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&#34;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&#34; class=&#34;MsoNormal&#34; align=&#34;justify&#34;&gt;&lt;span style=&#34;font-size: 10pt&#34;&gt;&lt;font face=&#34;Arial&#34;&gt;Fleming, who was a personal assistant to Raer Admiral John Godfery, director of naval intelligence, was put in charge of liaison with MI6. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&#34;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&#34; class=&#34;MsoNormal&#34; align=&#34;justify&#34;&gt;&lt;span style=&#34;font-size: 10pt&#34;&gt;&lt;font face=&#34;Arial&#34;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&#34;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&#34; class=&#34;MsoNormal&#34; align=&#34;justify&#34;&gt;&lt;span style=&#34;font-size: 10pt&#34;&gt;&lt;font face=&#34;Arial&#34;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&#34;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&#34; class=&#34;MsoNormal&#34; align=&#34;justify&#34;&gt;&lt;span style=&#34;font-size: 10pt&#34;&gt;&lt;font face=&#34;Arial&#34;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&#34;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&#34; class=&#34;MsoNormal&#34; align=&#34;justify&#34;&gt;&lt;span style=&#34;font-size: 10pt&#34;&gt;&lt;font face=&#34;Arial&#34;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
