Tonight I will be back on @seanhannity!! Fox News live at 9pmET! Further discussion of demo, and a lil' bit of my opinion! Prayers please!

Hannity had Jessie Duff, a world champion shooter on his show tonight to demonstrate several different semi-automatic rifles and pistols showing the caliber and how they fire as well:

Johannesburg - A white girl representing South Africa was the most jarring thing for some beauty pageant watchers to witness this week. When the blue-eyed former Miss SA Melinda Bam took to the Miss Universe stage at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on Wednesday night, she triggered a social media buzz. Her appearance sparked an avalanche of tweets, mostly from American viewers during the pageant, which was streamed live online at 03:00 local time.

Jennifer Lawrence has been voted the world's most desirable woman. The 22-year-old The Hunger Games star has been awarded the title in a new international poll released on Thursday by online men's magazine AskMen.com after winning over the majority of the 2.4 million voters with her down-to-earth attitude. Editor-In Chief James Bassil said: 'Overall, there's a sense that she's a little more authentic than other actors. 'She's fresh because we haven't seen her all over the gossip pages for the past three or four years.' The blonde beauty was followed in the top five by actress Mila Kunis, model Kate...

After finding a portrait subject, he asks her to put together a hot-pot meal using veggies and ingredients native to her country. They then assemble the foods into the shape of a gun and do a portrait shoot. Once the photograph is made, Ozawa and his model disassemble the delicious weapon, cook the ingredients, and share a meal together.

Safariland announced today that Team Bianchi shooter Kenda Lenseigne added her third major victory this year when she won High Overall and Overall Champion Cowgirl at the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association (CMSA) National Championship August 1-4 in Las Vegas, NV. The High Overall Champion title is awarded to the overall winner of the match, a shoot based on five stages of an accumulative score. Kenda and her horse-athlete, Justin, an American Quarter Horse, performed flawlessly during the event. Lenseigne said, “The countless hours in the saddle is proof that our hard work is paying off!” This showed not only in...

Bikini-clad, gun-toting Israeli woman becomes an Internet sensation A photo of a gun-wielding, bikini-clad woman standing on a crowded Tel Aviv beach has become an Internet sensation, with thousands of viewers curious about whether the brunette beauty is part of Israel's military and why she wasn't in uniform with her weapon in tow. The newspaper Haaretz notes that 'To an Israeli, the photo makes perfectly practical sense. When soldiers take their weapon off military premises, they must guard it closely and keep it on their person, at all times. Having one's weapon stolen is harshly punished with time in military...

Kate Upton was way too hot for the Super Bowl so they would not allow this one to air.

Cowboy Mounted Shooting has a style of its own. Unlike any other Western equestrian sport, this one combines, fashion, leather and guns. No gender in the sport shows it off better than the girls. Meet some of the Girls of Mounted Shooting. Photos by Ken Amorosano, Lucinda Wood, James Cook and John Beckett Growing up, I was frequently told that I could do or be anything. I never heard there was a ceiling beyond which I could not reach. The American Dream was an open door to me, as it was to all Americans. We foster an ideal in this...

Some of us around the Blaze office have joked that GBTV should hold a “Miss Occupy Wall Street Pageant” – A beauty pageant offering to pay off some of the winner’s student loans. (OK… I’m the only one talking about it.) This morning we learn about a new website promoting the better looking protesters at various OWS locations.

Pop quiz: Name one accessory that grandmothers, moms, girls, wealthy socialites, middle-class females and low-income women might be likely to own — and cherish — all across America. If you answered “a gun,” you’d be correct. Based on polling research and gun-sale statistics, an estimated 15 million to 20 million women in the United States own their own firearms. Dozens of those heat-packing women are documented in “Chicks with Guns,” a new book by photographer Lindsay McCrum that is sure to challenge almost anyone’s assumptions about gun ownership. “Their numbers are really high but their profile is actually really low,”...

Brazilian model Ana Araujo has been tipped to become Daniel Craig's leading lady in Bond 23, the 23rd instalment of the 007 franchise. "Ana is really excited. It's all very new to her and she is optimistic about the prospect of landing the role. It's very much a case of watch this space," a source from the production house said.

Girls just wanna have fun,, a couple of girls exercising the right to own and get proficient with firearms. OK, maybe they don't own em....

LostLettermen.com, the college sports fan site and player database, regularly contributes to Shutdown Corner. Here's a look at rookie New England Patriots cheerleader Alexa Flutie, daughter of Doug Flutie. There will once again be a Flutie on the New England Patriots sideline this season. No, Doug Flutie isn't coming out of retirement at the age of 48.

Add supermodel Kathy Ireland to the list of people wanting Congress to de-fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business by cutting the millions of dollars it receives to promote its agenda. “I think Planned Parenthood needs to reassess and look at what their values are, what their mission is, what their goals are, and do they deserve government funding? For example, there are non-profits that I’m involved with, and we don’t get government funding,” Ireland told FOX411’s Pop Tarts program. “We go out there, and if you really believe in this strongly enough to fight it for it, go get the...

Though the controversial pictures of Kate Middleton's sister Pippa have not been circulated, they have managed to create a furore in the Middleton family. Kate's parents have decided to take action over the nude pictures of Pippa which they think have been let out by 'betrayed' friends.

It’s not every day that you see women circling Boston Common in the midafternoon wearing only micro minis and bras. So when the “Boston Slutwalk” wound its way from Government Center to the Common yesterday, chanting, “However we dress, wherever we go, yes means yes, and no means no,” heads turned, but there weren’t many catcalls. But then, you don’t mess with 200 “sluts” on a mission.

A Muslim actress has received threats after she appeared topless on the front cover of Playboy. Sila Sahin, the 25-year-old star of German soap Good Times, Bad Times has been labelled "whore" and "western slut" for posing for the German edition of the men's magazine, The Sun reports. Her conservative parents, originally from Turkey, are said to have reacted with "horror" at the 12-page spread and her mother has refused to speak to Ms Sahin. Islamic internet sites have raged at the shoot and German intelligence agency BND is now monitoring the threats. One person posted "She needs to pay",...

A YOUNG woman removing her clothes for Playboy magazine would not normally stoke the passion of Germany's dry-as-dust intellectuals. Their minds are usually fixed on higher things -- more Nietzsche than nudity. But next month's cover girl will, for the first time, be a Turkish German and her glistening, coconut-oiled presence is stirring eager debate about the limits and challenges of ethnic integration. How else to explain the sudden rush of the country's top brains towards their local newsagents? "These photographs are a liberation from the restrictions of my childhood," says Sila Sahin, the 25-year-old star of a television soap...

model bidding to become the first Muslim to represent the UK in the world final of Miss Universe has been defending her decision to enter. Shanna Bukhari, who is 24 and lives in Manchester, said she's been sent racist and abusive messages since making it to the beauty contest's UK final. She believes Muslims in the UK should be allowed to have a western lifestyle. But Muslim groups have accused her of disrespecting Islam. Shanna was born in Blackburn and she became a full-time model after finishing her degree.

Efforts appear to be under way to offer Muammar Gaddafi a way of escape from Libya, with Italy saying it was trying to organise an African haven for him, and the US signalling it would not try to stop the dictator from fleeing. The move came amid mounting diplomatic and military pressure on Gaddafi as Britain tries to assemble a global consensus demanding he surrender power while intensifying air strikes against his forces. An international conference in London – including the UN, Arab states, the African Union, and more than 40 foreign ministers – will focus on co-ordinating assistance in...

Ben-Gal Laura Vikmanis. (Bengals.com) The NFL's oldest cheerleader just scored a movie deal with New Line. Laura Vikmanis shakes pom poms and does high kicks at the ripe old age of 42 for the lowly Cincinnati Bengals. A team so bad the last couple of years she was probably the most interesting thing to watch on the field. New Line obviously thinks so, as they have picked up the rights to her story, and assigned writers whose credits include "Gnomeo and Juliet" and "Ratatouille," the Hollywood Reporter reports. After her husband left her for a younger woman, she told her...

With Moammar Gadhafi in hiding as coalition aircraft bomb his country, he's counting on protection from a unique bodyguard corps he's been training for decades -- an all-female, gun-toting posse of virgins. About 40 lipsticked, bejeweled bodyguards surround the Libyan dictator at all times. They wear designer sunglasses and high heels with their military camouflage. But they're purported to be trained killers -- graduates of an elite military academy in Tripoli that's solely for women. Gadhafi established the Tripoli Women's Military Academy in 1979 as a symbol of women's emancipation. "I promised my mother to improve the situation of women...

A beauty queen has told how she shot and killed a burglar as he wrestled with her fiancé during a break-in in the middle of the night.

Meghan Brown had fired her pink .38-caliber handgun only inside a shooting range. Even there, she said, she wasn't very good. The 2009 Miss Tierra Verde, 25 and a slender brunet, had trouble pulling back the trigger. When she did manage, she said she almost never hit the target. That Saturday was different. A man barged into her home, attacking her and beating her fiance. Adrenaline pumping, she fetched the gun from her bedroom. She trained it on the man, following his movements as he tussled with her fiance. She saw an opening. She pulled the trigger. Pop. Pop. Pop....

Red alert! Or should we say blue? EW has obtained an exclusive first look of Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman — aka Diana Prince — from NBC’s reboot of the classic 1970s series.

Sweden's Helena Ekholm won the gold in the women's 15km at the biathlon world championships in Khanty Mansiysk in Russia on Wednesday. Ekholm claimed her third world title with a flawless round ahead of two outsiders - Germany's Tina Bachmann at 2min 15.8sec and Ukrainian Vita Semerenko third at 2:52.1sec. "Today I knew that the shoot would be decisive. It was an incredible relief when the the last target fell," the 26-year-old said after her win. Conditions were tough for the biathlon athletes; as a storm raging in the Russian town it was unclear in the morning if the event...

Why is it so difficult to find any information as to how to insert an image into a post?

She's studying at a college in Florida, and like any typical American teenager she loves shopping and hanging out with her friends. But at weekends she is one of the deadliest shots in the brush. Regis Giles, 19, is one of America's hottest hunters - and she's taking the big game world by storm. She's killed buffalo, wild boar, deer and a bear in her hunting career, which began when she was aged just nine. And she's already drawing parallels to Sarah Palin, America's most famous gun-toting wilderness-loving woman. Miss Giles is a lifetime member of the NRA. She was...

Prolific TV producer David E. Kelley is known for creating female characters who tend to polarize audiences — most notoriously "post-feminist" poster girl Ally McBeal. Fortunately, for the "Wonder Woman" pilot he's helming for NBC, he's already made one move that has been met with near-unanimous approval: Adrianne Palicki has been cast to play the titular superheroine.

Tennessee GOP Lawmaker Says Hooters Job Was Key to Her Success Tuesday, February 08, 2011 By Erik Schelzig, Associated Press Nashville, Tenn. (AP) - A newly elected Tennessee legislator writes in the current issue of Hooters Magazine that her experience working in the restaurants known for waitresses' skimpy outfits led to her later success in business and politics. Republican state Rep. Julia Hurley, 29, was elected in November after defeating incumbent Democrat Dennis Ferguson in a mostly conservative district west of Knoxville. Hurley writes that her experience at Hooters helped prepare her for a run for public office - even...

I've pretty much seen it all. The souvenirs, the gold peddlers, the military gear vendors. This time around, besides hitting the Jack Links pimps pretty hard, what really kewl gizmos should I be looking for?

Hundreds of Bikini Models Look to Restore America’s "Fading Patriotism"Six years after the start of combat operations in Iraq, one volunteer organization is still going strong, and looking to expand.The Patriot Girls currently operate in 38 states, and hope to spread their unique brand of stars and stripes boosterism to all 50 states by the end of the year, as they train the spotlight on the sacrifices the troops and their families are making.And how do they attract the spotlight? With their stars-and-stripes bikinis, of course.  OSCAR RABEIRO "You need to look good in a bikini," says Patriot Girls...

Could it be that news producers who showcase attractive female anchors have goals beyond simply relating information? Let’s hope so, for their sake, because a new study finds that men remember less of the news when it’s read by an “anchorette”* wearing tight clothes and red lipstick than when its presented by the same woman in a shapeless jacket, without lip color. Three hundred ninety men and women watched a real-life, attractive 24-year old news anchor present items about such subjects as the United Way, interest rates, and bird watching. She was made up in either a purposely “sexualized” or...

Farrah Fawcett, who made the jump from television to the walls of many a teenage boy's bedroom to the silver screen, will now reside in the Smithsonian. In a ceremony Tuesday in Washington, Fawcett’s partner, Ryan O’Neal, and her nephew, Greg Walls, donated iconic items from her estate to the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History. Fawcett died of cancer in June 2009 at the age of 62. The donated items include the famous red swimsuit from her classic 1976 poster, an original version of the poster that was shot by photographer Bruce McBroom, a Farrah Fawcett swimsuit jigsaw...

This year's Super Bowl features the Green Bay Packers against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But there will be no cheerleaders. The Packers and the Steelers are just two of six teams (along with the Cleveland Browns, New York Giants, Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears) that don't field a pom-pom waving squad. Although their seasons are over, cheerleaders are an important part of the NFL offseason for the 26 teams that do have them. Why? Because, when executed well, they provide endless clicks for Web surfing fans and additional revenue in appearances (teams usually charge between $100 and $500 per hour per...

Men watching a news broadcast are more likely to pay attention if a sexy anchor is delivering the day's stories. Just what they're captivated by, however, is another matter entirely. According to a new study from researchers at Indiana University, male viewers snap to attention at the sight of a female anchor they find attractive, but are distracted by her looks and therefore less likely to remember what she had to say. In other words? "Men might want to reread the story in the newspaper," Maria Elizabeth Rabe, one of the study's authors, told AOL News in a phone interview.

Fans face the unusual prospect of a title game without cheerleaders for either team. (click link for video of no cheer leaders)

The second season of the Lingerie Football League saw expansion, a television presence on MTV2, an "All-Fantasy Game," and a number of YouTube videos of the "action." Maligned as it may be, when you add it all up, the LFL is a minor success story -- set to reach 14 teams next season. Now, the formula is being taken to hoops -- even if there already is a large, established women's professional league.

A top cleric in the Russian Orthodox Church is under fire for saying that women who wear miniskirts and get drunk should not be surprised if they get raped. Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, the head of the Orthodox Church's department for relations between the church and society, complained that Russian women dressed like strippers and suggested a nationwide dress code should be introduced to ensure both sexes dress more conservatively. "If she (a woman) is wearing a miniskirt, it is provocative," he said. "If she is drunk at the same time then she is even more provocative, and if she herself...

Becoming a Hooters Girl isn't something everyone in the family will understand. Chante Rivera did it a year and a half ago. "My mom was so excited," said Rivera. "She's like, "You're going to have so much fun there. You are so pretty. I am so proud of you." My dad, he said, "I'm going to pray for you.'" [snip] Rivera's grandmother and friends from church didn't get it, either. "I was going to church every Sunday," Rivera said, "but now, football season, can't go." Rivera has been working since age 13. She once worked at a Taco Bell/KFC. Her...

Amazon Eve, who is from Turlock in California and stands at 6 feet 9 inches, is a full-time model and actress. But she will wrestle when asked. Amazon Eve originally gave up on an acting career after producers in Los Angeles kept casting her as a monster or alien but now she is hoping for major movie roles She said: "My fans love me to pick them up and carry them. It's a form of domination because I am actually physically bigger than my fans. My standard clients are 5'8" or shorter, professional and are well educated. It's more popular...

Sick of winter yet? Well, after shoveling the Tercel out from under a six-foot snow drift on Monday, we are. So in the spirit of changing the subject, fast, we turned to style expert Nadja Koglin for her tips and recommendations for cruise and vacation wear as cruise season and, dare we say, Spring Break, start becoming more than just fantasies.

The normal dating rules don't apply when it comes to models, news.com.au reported Monday, citing advice from Victoria's Secret star Jess Hart. In an interview with gossip website Popeater, Hart lays down do's and don'ts for regular guys contemplating making a move on glamazons like herself. In brief, the gap-toothed Australian beauty warns ordinary guys everywhere -- stay away. Spy a stunning model in a bar and thinking about trying your chances? "Don't," the Sports Illustrated cover girl commands.

Country singer and actress Julianne Hough’s career may be on the rise, but some say she is too hot for television, at least in one video. The 22-year-old “Burlesque” star recently revealed that her video for her single “Is That So Wrong” was dubbed too steamy to air on Country Music Television (CMT). The video features the sexy star playfully dancing in her apartment and removing articles of clothing. And it was that lack of clothing that she says got the video banned from the airwaves.

The National Organization for Women filed complaints against local Hooters restaurants Thursday, but not for exploiting its scantily clad waitresses by subjecting them to leering and groping customers. The subject this time was Hooters' catering to children. The restaurants in San Francisco, San Bruno, Sacramento and Orange County are classified as "adult entertainment" establishments but also serve minors, NOW's California chapter said in papers filed with police and prosecutors. What's more, the organization said, Hooters provides child menus, high chairs and booster seats, and sells T-shirts in children's sizes that identify the wearer as a "Future Hooters Girl."

A(Dec. 15) -- Heidi Jones, a weather anchor for ABC's New York City affiliate and an occasional forecaster on "Good Morning America," was suspended today after being arrested for allegedly lying to police about being sexually assaulted. The WABC-TV weather anchor told police last month that a Hispanic man tried to rape her while she was jogging in Central Park on Sept. 24. But Jones has since admitted making the whole thing up, police told AOL News today. WABC-TV announced the suspension today during a noon broadcast. ----snip----(Dec. 15) -- Heidi Jones, a weather anchor for ABC's New York City...

The January 2011 issue features former rhythmic Olympic gymnast Alina Kabayeva, 27, wearing a £21,000 gold Balmain dress with her hands on her hips. Viktoria Davydova’s decision to give her such prominence in the magazine is one that is likely to irritate the strong man Russian prime minister who has scornfully denied a newspaper report that he has left his wife Ludmila, with whom he has two daughters, for Miss Kabayeva. While there is no substantive evidence that Mr Putin, 58, is romantically linked to Miss Kabayeva, who also happens to be an MP for Mr Putin's ruling United Russia...
