| Anyone remember the Ariane dating game?
They've changed it. I took her to the underwear shop and her lesbian friend came dancing with us. Why this shop was open so late, I'm not sure, but yeah. The dyke kept coming onto my bitch, so we left, then I made sex with her on her bed. It was crap. All that happened was she started saying: 'UGH UGH UGH UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH' like a caveman. So yeah. Beat me. http://virtualunderworld.net/arianeb/dategame.htm# .

Cyber love lost in Russian bride scam
An online Russian dating scam that Canadian police say has organized crime roots has bilked men of thousands of dollars. Several men report being duped into sending romantic gifts and money to men posing as Russian brides on internet dating sites. According to an investigation by Radio-Canada's La Facture program, the number of incidents involving Canadian men is on the rise. Francis, 29, is a Quebecer who said he was scammed after falling in love with a blond Russian named Irina Gorachkina, whom he found on a dating website. He said they started out exchanging neutral, friendly e-mails. "At first we talked about what we were like," he told Radio-Canada. "I told her I liked the outdoors, walking in the woods." Francis's e-mail correspondence with Irina grew intimate and after weeks passed was filled with declarations of love such as, "I need you like a fish needs water, like a bird needs wings.
Australian turtles smuggled into the US
AN American pet shop owner has pleaded guilty to smuggling endangered turtles from Australia and Asia to the US where they can fetch high prices. San Francisco man Coleman Lau, 29 had 14 baby Fly River turtles inside his clothes when he flew from Hong Kong to San Francisco in March 2004, the Associated Press reported. Fly River turtles are protected in their native countries and under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. The amphibians, which cost up to $US500 ($566) at pet shops, are native to fresh water in Australia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. The smuggled turtles were handed over to the US Fish & Wildlife Service, which found homes for them at a research centre and in California zoos and aquariums, the AP said.
Paris in the City of Brotherly Love
Paris Hilton headed to a mall in Philadelphia yesterday to do some promotional work for her upcoming movie The Hottie and the Nottie. She played with one of our favorite toys, the fabulous Flip camcorder while she chatted it up with local radio stations. Paris also met lots of screaming fans, and when asked about her appeal, she said, "I think maybe it's because I'm real. People can relate to me. They see things that have happened in my life. And that I'm sweet. I feel that when you truly are a good person, it will shine through in your eyes - shine through from your heart to your eyes - and people will see that. Princess Diana, who I love, she had that." Somehow, "real" isn't the first word that comes to mind when we think of Paris, but we do give her credit for heading to the mall to meet fans instead of hitting the stores.
'Housewife' desperate to go back
I just talked to (co-stars) Felicity (Huffman) and Marcia (Cross). It's an odd time. It feels even weird promoting a movie. Hollywood feels like a ghost town. The studios are empty, nobody's working, it's weird. Awards season's dying." Longoria Parker says her production company had three TV shows in development at VH-1, ABC Family, and ABC, respectively, that were all at the pilot-writing stages, but they're now all shelved. "I welcomed (the strike) at first because I've been working for five years non-stop so for someone to go, 'Stop working,' it's been nice. But now I'm like, 'Okay, enough vacation,' " she says.

Holla Backlash
Apparently he gave away a free copy of his album with every issue of the British tabloid Planet Earth purchased over the weekend. (Just in case the readers desired more than just subscription slips to toss in the trash.) Once again, His Purpleness is ticking off his record label - the album is not scheduled to go on sale until July 24. And music stores are furious. Prince has a global distribution and marketing deal with Columbia, but the British arm of the business has pulled out of the agreement, claiming that this only seems fair. (Quick! Change your name to a symbol again. Record companies are powerless against the symbol!) Anyway, Prince is past his musical prime - especially since the Jehovah's Witnesses have really softened his musical content (if ya know what we mean wink wink).
How about that?
I mean, even my family I don't think I know as intimately as the people I worked with on West Wing. More than anything just to have a steady job, a sense of routine, is so lovely for an actor - you just don't get that very often. I really thrive in that condition. And then when I'm not acting I go, 'Ugh, I'm worthless. Why am I doing this? I quit. I'm gonna go back to Ohio and be a dog walker.' " At the height of the show's popularity some of the news networks called to offer her work as a pundit. "I was offered all sorts of jobs by news organisations that should have known better," she says. "And I was like, 'That's so sweet. But you really don't want to hire me. I'm not good in that area.' " It's a shock to realise that she's talking about politics. Janney has been in LA for more than a decade, but it isn't really her town.
Ovechkin joining Habs rare rumour that has legs

And chances are, more than a few of you closed your eyes and dreamed the dream: Ovechkin wearing the CH. .
