TEL AVIV (Reuters) - It may not be what Sharon Stone wants to discuss, but the actress is happy to confirm that, yes, she does indeed get naked in her next movie, the sequel to the 1992 hit "Basic Instinct." ADVERTISEMENT In Israel to promote International Women's Day, Stone was badgered not about the fairer sex, but instead about her role as a sexed-up serial killer in "Basic Instinct 2" on Wednesday. "People are just sitting there going, like, 'I don't care what she's saying. I don't care what she's saying. I just want to know is she getting naked?...

Fellow Americans, there comes a time every mans life when we must give up ourselves before we are worthy to recieve. There comes a time in this war on terror when in order to protect liberty, we have to give it up in the mean time for safty. That's right folks. Today, Americans have forsaken the creator for the creation and have decided that they would value our "civil liberties" than protecting western civilization and rich white people from the tender mercies of radical Islamic terrorists. Selfish liberals insist and whine that Bush has no right to spy on Americans...

MARRIAGE is the death of hope," Woody Allen once said. But not for everyone. In New York, where eligible men are few and far between, single women who endure long stretches of unwilled celibacy may resort to cheating with someone else's husband because it seems like the only hope - consequences be damned. In December, I slept with a married man - late 50s, attractive, smart and successful. He's been with his wife forever, a lifestyle to which he is completely wedded, one that I had no intention of jeopardizing. Any guilt I might have felt was further assuaged by...

Pamela Anderson Takes Aim at KFC By ROGER ALFORD Associated Press Writer FRANKFORT, Ky. — Pamela Anderson is leading a charge to remove a bust of KFC founder Colonel Harland Sanders from the state Capitol. The actress called the Kentucky native's likeness "a monument to cruelty" to chickens in a statement issued by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the animal rights group. The statement did little to ruffle feathers in Gov. Ernie Fletcher's office. "Colonel Sanders was one of Kentucky's most distinguished citizens, a great entrepreneur and a fine charitable man of faith, and he certainly has a...

After reading all of the crap that people have been saying regarding Adult Private Social Clubs, I felt that I had to post an article and give my opinion. I am sick and tired of all the religous groups that are saying that there are drugs, prostitution, minors, non-consenting people, and just immoral people at these clubs! First of all, who do these people think they are to decide what is morally right or wrong for me? I believe that I have a good set of morals. I am a law abiding, tax paying citizen, I work full time and...

When the parents of 14 year-old Alycia Brown of La Crosse Wisconsin found out their daughter was sexually active, they did what the modern culture told them was the right thing to do; they put her on birth control, choosing the popular hormonal patch instead of the Pill.

Back when she was Catholic, Madonna drew the ire of the Vatican with such ditties as "Like a Prayer." Now a Kabbalah enthusiast, the Material Girl is still feeling the wrath of religious leaders. The artist otherwise known as Esther has come under fire from religious scholars in Israel for using the name of a revered Kabbalist rabbi in a song featured on her upcoming album, Confessions on a Dance Floor. According to local reports, rabbis charged with looking after the grave of Yitzhak Luria, a 16th century Jewish mystic buried in the northern town of Safed, criticized Madonna for...

Fresno -- The mistress of convicted murderer Scott Peterson is back in the spotlight after a DNA test showed that her first child was not fathered by the man who has been paying child support. Fresno hairstylist Anthony Flores, 29, has been paying Frey $175 a month for nearly four years, his attorney, Glenn Wilson, said Wednesday.

Former White House intern Monica Lewinsky is heading to Britain to study in a Masters in Psychology program at the prestigious London School of Economics. The curvy 32-year-old, who shocked the world when reports of her sex antics with former President Bill Clinton hit newsstands, completed her first degree in psychology in 1995 before she started work for the former U.S. leader. Although the program incurs a staggering $22,000 for non-European students, the fee shouldn't pose a problem for Lewinsky -- she reportedly commanded six-figure payouts for her revealing interviews after Clinton's autobiography was published last year.

Hanoi Jane and Mr. Oil for Food bribe taker, UK politician, George Galloway will be touring the US in September. Little Green Footballs has the dates here. We all know Jane's never ending support for communism, which began when she supported the commies in Vietnam. Galloway, likewise stated, "The worst day in my life was the day the Soviet Union fell." These two losers will team up together, beginning in Boston on September 13th. To call them losers, I suppose has to be an understatement. Communism, once the darling of all liberal ideologies, and once a threat to the world,...

The Fallen Hero and the Living Traitor By Lt. Col. Gordon Cucullu FrontPageMagazine.com August 2, 2005 Here is yet another case of the kind of bizarre juxtaposition that continues to characterize the Vietnam War well into the first decade of the new century. I refer on the one hand to the recent loss of Admiral James B. Stockdale, a highly decorated Navy aviator and prisoner of war of the North Vietnamese for seven grueling years. His funeral services were held, appropriately, on the Navy carrier the USS Ronald Reagan with the full military honors the Medal of Honor winner deserved....

Anita Hill, the woman who opposed Clarence Thomas for the Supreme Court by alleging sexual harassment, is now blasting President Bush's selection of John Roberts, claiming it's a step back for diversity and fears it could lead to "an all-white-male Supreme Court." In a commentary published in Newsday, Hill, who is now a professor of social policy, law and women's studies at Brandeis University, writes: "[W]as John Roberts chosen because he's the best choice for the court or because he may easily be confirmed? And why not choose a woman to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman...

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Alysha Cosby was told she couldn't take part in her graduation at St. Jude Educational Institute in Montgomery, Alabama, because she was pregnant. But after the last student on the program received a diplomas, Cosby announced her own name and walked across the stage anyway -- to the cheers of many of her classmates at the Roman Catholic high school. Still -- according to a newspaper (the Montgomery Advertiser) -- some at last night's ceremony considered her move in poor taste. The school had delivered her diploma to her house earlier in the day, but she still wanted...

OTTAWA (CP) - The defeat of the Paul Martin government became less likely with the stunning defection of a high-profile Tory MP into the Liberal cabinet on Tuesday. Martin sat beside a smiling Belinda Stronach at a surprise news conference and introduced her as his new human resources minister. The prime minister also said she will be in charge of implementing clean-government measures after the sponsorship inquiry reports. Stronach's departure is a blow to the Tories on several levels - starting with a confidence vote Thursday in the House of Commons. The government can now likely survive with the support...

Your Momma Is the King of Pop Could Michael Jackson be both father and “mother”? By Joyce Milton For connoisseurs of the bizarre, Michael Jackson’s life story has been an embarrassment of riches. Jackson’s serial plastic surgeries, his habit of inviting young boys for sleepovers, and his more public parental malfunctions — as when he dangled his infant son over the railing of a sixth-floor hotel balcony — give us plenty to talk about. But the most arresting fact in Michael Jackson’s biography has occasioned surprisingly little comment: He is the first male celebrity to have a child who has...

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Some people see nothing wrong with it, while others say it's immoral. But the question in North Carolina is: Should shacking up be illegal? The ACLU is suing to overturn a North Carolina ban on cohabitation. In all, seven states have such laws. The case centers on a woman who says she was forced to quit her job as a sheriff's dispatcher for refusing to marry her live-in boyfriend. The ACLU points to a 2003 Supreme Court decision that struck down an anti-sodomy law. The organization says that ruling protects consensual sex between adults. Supporters of the...

A teenage girl and two young men in Iran have been sentenced to lashes for having sex. The court dismissed the girl's claim that we was raped. It said she had sex of her own free will, the official Iran Daily newspaper reported. The girl was sentenced to 100 lashes because her accusations of rape and kidnap could have landed her partners a death penalty, the Tehran judge said. Sex outside marriage is illegal in Iran and capital punishment can be imposed. The young men in the case were sentenced to 30 and 40 lashes each. Rights violations The Iran...

(CBS) The words "zero tolerance" used by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to describe the military's policy on sexual assault ring hollow in the ears of former Lt. Jennifer Dyer. In her first interview, Dyer tells Correspondent Steve Kroft that she was treated like a criminal by the Army after accusing a fellow officer of rape. Dyer's interview will be broadcast on 60 Minutes, Sunday, Feb. 20, at 7 p.m. ET/PT. "[The Army has] done nothing but lie to me and treat me like a criminal," says Dyer, now out of the Army, which granted her request for an honorable discharge...

February 3, 2005 -- Kobe Bryant's accuser unexpectedly showed up at yesterday's pretrial hearing in her sex-assault civil suit, wearing a wedding ring, with a nervous husband at her side — and a baby on the way. Katelyn Faber, holding hands with her husband, braved a gaggle of media as she walked into the federal courthouse and took her seat before Judge Richard Matsch — no more slipping in through side doors. It was a clear message from the 20-year-old — who bowed out of her criminal case against Bryant last September — that she's determined to follow through on...

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Go ahead — call state Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles a scurvy wench, a wanton strumpet, a shameless hussy. She probably won’t like it, but she doesn’t want you to be prosecuted for it. The Seattle Democrat is sponsoring a bill to repeal a 1909 state law that makes "slander of a woman" a crime. Kohl-Welles, a women’s studies lecturer at the University of Washington, says the law is a relic of a time when men put women on a pedestal and denied them basic rights. Kohl-Welles said the law almost surely violates the state and federal constitutions....

DENVER - An attorney for the woman accusing Los Angeles Lakers (news) star Kobe Bryant of rape said Sunday she wants a public airing of her lawsuit in Denver federal court as soon as possible. L. Lin Wood said his client decided against filing a second, parallel suit in California state court because of fears that legal maneuvers there would delay a trial in the Denver suit. "We want to get this case in front of the public as soon as possible," Wood said. "I think that's an important factor in my client's mind," he said. The woman's lawsuit seeks...

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Gov.-elect Christine Gregoire on Tuesday urged her increasingly vocal critics to set aside their rhetoric and invited Republicans to "join me in the middle" to move the state forward.

DENVER - Kobe Bryant's attorneys asked a judge Monday to make sure the NBA star doesn't have to answer questions about other "consensual relationships" as he defends himself against a civil lawsuit accusing him of rape. Bryant had promised to be available Monday or Tuesday to answer, for the first time, questions under oath about what happened at a mountain resort last year. However, in a filing released Monday in federal court, Bryant's lawyers said both sides couldn't agree on the kinds of questions the Los Angeles Lakers (news) star would be asked. They said planned questions about Bryant's history...

DENVER - Kobe Bryant's attorneys have identified about 125 potential witnesses to testify in the civil lawsuit filed against him by the woman who accused him of sexual assault, attorneys told a judge Wednesday. Attorneys for Bryant and the 20-year-old woman met in Denver federal court for the first time to map out a preliminary schedule for the case. They agreed on a tentative May deadline to complete the required exchange of evidence. No trial date is being contemplated for now, L. Lin Wood, an Atlanta attorney representing the woman, said after the brief hearing before U.S. District Judge Richard...

Photo : AFP LONDON (AFP) - US pop star Madonna made a rare foray into politics, calling for her home country to withdraw its troops from Iraq during an interview with British radio."I just don't want American troops to be in Iraq, period," she said on BBC Radio."My feelings are 'can we just all get out?'," said the 46-year-old star, who lives mainly in London with British film director husband Guy Ritchie, who said she believes the US-led war will not help in the fight against terrorism.

EAGLE, Colo. — Fourteen months after she accused Kobe Bryant of raping her, a young Colorado woman sat on the witness stand testifying about the encounter, answering probing personal questions and trying to explain sketchy details. But the scene did not play out in this tiny mountain community, where the national media already were gathering to cover the trial. Instead, it occurred in secret, two hours away at the Jefferson County Courthouse in the Denver suburb of Golden, where prosecutors staged a mock trial two days before jury selection was to begin. They wanted to gauge how their chief witness...

Basketball star Kobe Bryant filed a formal answer Tuesday to Katelyn Faber's federal lawsuit, denying he raped her more than a year ago in Eagle County. "The plaintiff consented to all actions taken by Mr. Bryant during their encounter on June 30, 2003," the answer said. Bryant, who is married, has admitted having sex with Faber at the mountain resort where she was an employee and he was a guest, but he has insisted it was consensual. Bryant's answer agreed with Faber that, after he checked in, he asked her for a tour of the hotel. But it denied Faber's...

Bryant file details accuser's phone call EAGLE - The woman who accused Kobe Bryant of raping her pleaded on the phone with her mother to come home from work the morning after the alleged assault, according to previously sealed documents in the case. "Mom, you need to come home, I need to talk to you," the woman said. The mother found her daughter in bed. She had been crying and looked upset. Her mother sat next to her. "Mom," she reportedly said, "I was raped last night." Her mother hugged her for a minute. "Who was it?" she asked. "Kobe...

Cynthia Nixon is trying a different kind of sex in the city, the Daily News has learned. For almost 10 months now, the Emmy-winning actress has been dating another woman, sources say. Back in June of 2003, Nixon split with Danny Mozes, the father of her two children. Last January, according to friends, she began a lesbian relationship. Right now, Nixon, 38, does not want to be as outspoken as Rosie O'Donnell, the sources say. But Nixon did not flinch when we asked her yesterday whether she is involved with another woman. Speaking exclusively with the Daily News, she said,...

But now Ruth Westheimer, the sexologist better known to the world as Dr Ruth, is asking for help finding love herself.The therapist, 76, twice divorced and once widowed, has been touring Israel in search of a new partner and has enrolled the help of the nation’s television chat shows and radio phone-ins in her search for happiness.

The real deal Linda Ronstadt's current tour – 'a history lesson of music' – reflects her dedication to authenticity, and quality By George Varga July 15, 2004 Other singers may have a greater passion for music than Linda Ronstadt. But few have a greater passion for more types of music, or the willingness to perform them, even at the risk of falling on her face. "My career has befuddled other people, and it's befuddled me," admitted Ronstadt, 58, who finds her fans are polarized by her nightly on-stage salute to "Fahrenheit 9/11" filmmaker Michael Moore. "I've been dedicating a song...

MISTRESS DISTRESS MISTRESS DISTRESS By HOWARD BREUER -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 19, 2004 -- EXCLUSIVE REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — With only a few days until Amber Frey takes the stand in Scott Peterson's double-murder trial, she has told her family that she's tired of being dragged through the gutter by people who know nothing about her. Smut king Larry Flynt has insinuated she's a prostitute. Trial observers expect her to be portrayed by the Peterson defense as a harlot who pursues married men, and possibly as a participant in Laci Peterson's murder. In an exclusive letter to The Post and Fox News...

RALEIGH - An Army private charged with prisoner abuse after pictures surfaced of her with naked Iraqi detainees has been charged again, this time for participating in explicit pictures not involving prisoners. Pfc. Lynndie England was charged late Thursday with one count of violating a general order "that prohibits the creation and possession of sexually explicit photographs" and four counts of indecent acts, according to a statement released Friday by Fort Bragg. Pfc. England is due in military court at the base beginning Monday for a hearing on whether she should face a military trial in the case. Spokesman Maj....

IT LOOKED like Jessica Cutler’s career was over when she was fired by a United States senator for using the office computer to chronicle her sex life on the internet. But the publishing industry never can resist a good scandal on Capitol Hill. In a deal said to be worth $300,000 (almost £170,000), the junior aide who shocked Washington with her lurid online "blogs" of sex with congressional colleagues - including a married White House appointee - has been signed up by Hyperion to write a novel based on her encounters. Given the nature of the author’s "research", the deal...

A Pender County woman who says she was forced to choose between her boyfriend and her job has taken her story to the national media. Under a North Carolina law it's illegal to live with someone you're not married to, and the Pender County Sheriff's Department is enforcing that. It's a law that has been in affect for nearly 200 years, and now Deborah Hobbs is getting national attention for sacrificing her job in order to make a statement. It all started when Hobbs began working at the Pender County 911 dispatch office in February. In late May she was...

Judge Orders N.Y. Couple Not to Conceive By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: May 8, 2004 Filed at 12:14 a.m. ET ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) -- A couple has been ordered not to conceive any more children until the ones they already have are no longer in foster care. A civil liberties advocate said the court ruling unsealed Friday was ``blatantly unconstitutional.''

Madonna is planning on changing her name to "Esther". She says that as she has gotten older and more mature, she thinks "Madonna" is no longer appropriate. Now that she's a mother, she teaches her children how to be responsible: they have to actually clean up their rooms and say "thank you" when someone compliments them and everything. And please, no teasing. Never mind that Esther was a beautiful virgin in The Bible. The most beautiful virgin given to the King (Esther 2:2-7). Yep. That describes her perfectly (Austin Powers voice here--"Raaaaiiiigggghhhtt...")

MADONNA today compared US President George Bush to deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. The 45-year-old pop star said the two men were "alike" because they both behaved "in an irresponsible manner". Madonna made the comments during an interview in which she tried to draw a line under her wild days, vowing to be "part of the order, not the chaos, of the world". Madonna's current Re-Invention tour carries a strong anti-war message and her recent video for the song American Life was clear in its opposition to the Iraq conflict. In the final scene of the video, a President Bush...

Was she really bedding six different men or making it all up? And who is the married, high-level federal employee she claims paid her $400 for a lunch-hour tryst?</p>

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - The lawyer for an Army private photographed taunting naked Iraqi prisoners has accused the Pentagon of withholding evidence necessary to her defense. Giorgio Ra'Shadd maintains the Defense Department has denied him access to pictures, names and other information that could help his client, Pfc. Lynndie England. To help prove his point, Ra'Shadd on Wednesday held up nearly black photocopies of images turned over to him by military authorities. Outlines of nude men could be seen in some of the pictures. Some apparently do not include England, a 21-year-old reservist from West Virginia. Ra'Shadd said he cannot issue...

I am a 15-year-old girl who’s had sex since the age of 13. There are two main reasons I got into having sex at such an early age. One, I didn’t know much about sex so I wanted to see what it was like. I saw it everywhere from Victoria’s Secret shops to television shows. Two, I was influenced into having sex because "everybody" in high school was doing it. I was in eighth grade and I hung around people who were older than me. The guys were not virgins. They would say things like, "It is not a big...
