Reality television may be asking for controversy and disaster when it shows it next episode of Jersey Shore where one of stars, Snookie, gets punched in the face by a random man at a bar. She is seen lying on the floor of the bar. The next shot is of a man in handcuffs being escorted to a police car.
You’ll be amazed at the identity of the puncher…
The Trust set up for the two young stars of the multi-million dollar box office success Oscar Award winning film, Slumdog Millionaire, have purchased a 250 sq foot one bedroom apartment, for the family of the 10 year-old Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail.
Life has not been easy for Azharuddin and Rubina, from the moment they stepped into the limelight of the film set.
The ownership of the apartment, costing around $50,000 dollars, will pass to Azharuddin when he turns 18 years old, provided he has completed his schooling. When the operators of the Trust were asked, “What happens if Azharuddin does not complete his schooling?” the Trust refused to give an answer.
The Trust is now looking for a new home for the family of 9 year old Rubina Ali. Rubina’s father, Rafiq Qureshi said. “Everything is here in Mumbai if you have the money. If you really want to buy us a house, you can buy us a house in two days.”
The producer and director of Slumdog Millionaire says they have donated $474,500 to charity to help slum kids in Mumbai, apart from the education trust they have set up for the two stars.
The question however needs to be asked, how is it that both the young stars homes’ were demolished within weeks of each other? Is it that the local authorities are embarrassed by the living conditions of the young film stars, as journalists and tourists, from all over the world, continued to track the pair down?

Controversy has raged over the recently crowned Miss California, Carrie Prejean. She has fast become the most disliked and controversial Miss California since 1975.
Last year Miss California, Carrie Prejean modeled lingerie for a pre-Oscar show, “Countdown to the Red Carpet.” Dressed in a bra, underwear and stilettos. However, at the ripe age of 20 years old Carrie did a professional, in a partially nude gig, for underwear. Carrie now claims the photo was taken when she was unaware of it and it was the wind that blew her skimpy clothing aside. Yet other photos of her in hot pink underpants, are no ‘accident’.
Carrie first hit the news a month ago, when she spoke against gay marriages, to a gay judge. “I exercised my freedom of speech and I was punished for doing so. This should not happen in America. It undermines the constitutional rights for which my grandfather fought for (in World War Two). I believe no one should be silenced if they are speaking from their heart. I am a model. I am a Christian. Apart from that Satan was tempting me through the judge’s question.”
Just last week Carrie starred in a new $1.5 million anti-gay ad campaign funded by the National Organization for Marriage.
Immediately following Carrie’s statements on same sex marriage, during USA pagent, the former beauty queen Shanna Moakler, resigned as executive director of the Miss California USA pagent, saying she no longer believes in the organization.
So far, American business magnate, socialite, television personality and motivational author, Donald Trump, owner of Miss USA contest, has ruled that Carrie may keep her Miss California crown, saying. “We’ve reviewed the pictures carefully. We’ve made a determination that the pictures taken were acceptable. Some were risque, but we are in the 21st century… She gave an honorable answer. She gave an answer from her heart, and I think for that she has to be commended.”
Katie Rees, was dethroned, after being crowned Miss Nevada in 2006, when some racy photos came to light. “Semi nude photos are semi nude photos,” she said. Donald Trump deemed the photos inappropriate and stripped Rees of her Miss Nevada USA title. There would appear to be little difference between the privately taken photos of Rees and the professionally taken photos of Prejean. Both girls signed contracts swearing there were no nude or semi-nude photographs of them in existence, when they entered the Miss USA quest.
“At least when those pictures of me came out, I admitted I was wrong and told young women in America how big of a mistake it was and to be careful because everything can affect your future,” said Rees “That’s more than Carrie has done. She has lied about her age when she took the photos, lied about how many there were and hasn’t acknowledged that she was wrong by breaking the contract. I don’t think that is a good role model and I hope young women recognize that.”
Maybe Miss California does not have the BEST BEST Job in the World. You can check one out at Win A Resort. It could be YOURS!
Susan Boyle’s performance on ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ has been viewed more than 35 million times on YouTube alone and an estimated 100 million times overall. This puts Susan on course to becoming the most viewed internet clip ever. What a superb success story. Just the thing to pick up the spirits of a world flagging under the overwhelming weight of financial stress.
However, the owner of the show, as well as being a judge, Simon Cowell had to have known who was coming on his show. Simon Cowell is said to be planning to team Susan up with Paul Knotts, the 2007 winner of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’. Simon will be counting the millions and weeping all the way to the bank, as he plans the recording contract for Susan. Good on Simon. A true blue entrepreneur who refuses to let obstacles stop him.
In the meantime, home spun Susan is now tarting herself up. She says, “It wasn’t until I saw myself on TV that I realized how frumpy I was.” She is setting out on an exercise program, because she wants to look ‘nice and smart’.
Susan pledged to her dying mother two years ago, she would do something with her life.
The world is having a love affair with Susan Boyle, who represents every person who has ever been picked on, laughed at, ignored or passed over. A major key to Susan’s success is that she is not afraid to see herself as other’s see her.
Susan is proof anyone can dream and have those dreams become a reality through
· Patience
· Perseverance
· Discipline and the desire to never stop learning.
It is alleged a Los Angeles based film company has offered $1 million to do a porn movie of the virgin Susan. Why don’t some people grow up!
Sana, the eldest sister of Rubina Ali, the child star from Slumdog Millionaire, says, “My father said I was unwanted and Rubina more precious.” Her father has driven her away from the family home. “The Oscar has destroyed my family.”
Rafiq Quereshi, father of the girls, was interviewed by police for allegedly offering his nine year-old child star daughter, Rubina, for sale for $400,000, in an illegal adoption deal. The father has denied the allegations and does not appear to have been arrested. Had the sale gone through, Quereshi would have become a millionaire, in rupees.
The news broke from an undercover sting operation, by the British tabloid ‘News of the World’, when reporters posed as a wealthy family from Dubai. They told the father, in his new city-provided housing, they were interested in adopting Rubina. The father claims he was framed.
However, in another statement Rafiq declared: “I have to consider what’s best for me, my family and Rubina’s future.” He tried to blame Hollywood bosses as the reason he was forced to put his daughter up for sale. Rafiq’s equally demanding brother Mohiuddin insisted: “The child is special now. This is NOT an ordinary child. This is an Oscar child!”
Noshir H. Dadrawala, the head of the Jai Ho charitable trust established by the film makers, Boyle and producer Christian Colson, to support the children, says “The Trust will support Rubina, her parents and responsible authorities to ensure the rights and best interests of Rubina are protected”. The Trust says it is in regular contact with Rubina and her family and has hired a social worker to help care for her. According to the trust, both families of the child stars receives a monthly stipend for living costs abd educational scholarships and will receive a lump sum payment after the stars turn 18.
Rubina Ali told reporters,”I like being with my father”.
In a bizarre twist, footage has surfaced of what appears to be Rubina’s mother and stepmother brawling in the streets of Mumbai. Rubina’s mother Khurshid, is very upset that her ex-husband was trying to sell her daughter.

Entrepreneur, television personality and producer 
and acid-tongued judge, thirty-seven year old Simon Phillip Cowell, made history, when his only comment after listening to 47 year old Susan Boyle’s explosive power as she sang on ‘Britain Has Talent’, was an unqualified, “Yes”.
Scottish Susan Boyle, with an accent as broad as the Clyde River, walked solo onto centre stage of ‘Britain Has Talent’, tv show, wearing a disastrously outmoded dress. She had a contestant identification label strung around her neck, like a prisoner waiting for an identification file-photograph.
Chatting nervously and looking pathetically vulnerable, Susan answered Simon’s questions about her back-of-beyond, Scottish village in western Scotland, Blackburn. Susan managed to display a street-tough sense of humour, as she quietly withstood the judges’ and audience’s wall of skepticism. Later, when asked how she felt at this point Susan said, “You had to keep going.”
Susan wasn’t even on the same block, let alone the same street, as the usual half-dressed over-the-top floosies, trying to impress their way to the Royal Variety Performance in December. The 2000 strong crowd were seen to visually scoff when the Scots lady from obscurity, declared, “I’m tryin to be a professional singer”. You could almost hear Simon Cowell’s mind grinding “Over my dead body”, as the camera conveniently fixed on an audience member rolling her eyes in outrageous disbelief.
Or was it? The fundamental rule of the entertainment business is to entertain. Everyone knows that magic is slight of hand and showmanship. Yet everyone of every age loves to be conned by magic and long for some in their ordinary ‘put-up-with it’ day to day life.
The word on the streets was that the ‘American Idol’ programme was on the long slithery slide to oblivion, with the strong possibility of bored Simon Cowell leaving the show. Could the British version save the day?
In 2007 an unknown, overweight, unmarried, unimpressive mobile phone salesman, rose to instant stardom when he was ‘discovered’ and won the first series of ‘Britain Has Talent’. Today the 37 year old Paul Potts, tours the world with his rich operatic voice, a millionaire. He recently met Susan in a TV interview, which linked Australia with Scotland.
Two things were going for the ‘Britains Got Talent’ this year. The public is ravenous for any glimmer of hope, after the Doom-and-Gloom of the financial tsunamis of 2008. The public is groping for anything that could even remotely make them it there can be a better tomorrow. The reality talent shows needed to find a down and out, unimpressive nobody, they could make into somebody, to get the shows’ television ratings to recover. They needed a miracle to help keep those applications for auditions to be on the show, coming in.
The producers got lucky. Unemployed, unmarried, unkissed, volunteer church worker applied for an audition. She is their wrinkly garden variety caterpillar, who had the ingredients necessary for being transformed into a gem studded high flying butterfly.
Susan nervously joked on camera, before going on stage “I’m gonna make that audience rock.”
From the first expolsive notes of “I Dreamed A Dream’, from the show ‘Le Miserables’ and the gob-stopped look on judges Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden’s faces, Susan not only made the audience rock, she devoured them live. The audience rose to its feet in exultant captivation. How could such a frumpy ordinary looking middle aged woman, contain such a powerful, yet well modulated voice, capable of flooding the heart with emotion?
Was Simon doing his usual pulling-your-string act, or was he ‘Telling-it-as-it-is’, when the only comment he had to make was, “I knew from the moment you walked out on that stage that we were going to hear something extraordinary and I was right.”
Simon sat like a wounded duck, silently observing the other two judges reacting in elated shock. Where were his usual acidic and derogatory remarks designed to humiliate and cut off at the ankles, in spite of his “I don’t mean to be rude…” Simon has been likened to Judge Judy. Was Simon under don’t-you dare-under-any-circumstances instructions from the producers? Or did they simply count on something special rising up in the man who his friends say, “Is really nice when you get to know him”?
Susan has an explosive and mind blowing voice, but was it also a unique and well performed piece of Hollywood showmanship as well? Obviously the producers would never dare to put someone like Susan on their show if they had not been convinced there was a legitimate chance she would achieve exactly what she did. Though no one in their wildest dreams that Susan’s clip on You Tube would score over 30 million hits.
Susan deserved to be ‘discovered’. The show will gain a new popularity and the general public be inspired to believe that it is possible to ‘Dream a Dream’ and see it become a reality. All in all, it was crowd stopping entertainment that has turned Susan’s world completely upside down. Susan is a living real-life ‘Cinderella’, as her dreams finally came true.
Sometimes in life there does comes that once in a lifetime Blue Moon Opportunity, though few are like Susan and have the guts to take it up. At Win a Resort there is an opportunity like this waiting for you. One that is completely GUARANTEED TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Take a few minutes to check it out.

There is a new generation of video games which are being made so difficult, that many players last no longer than 10 seconds. Yet it is the very nature of the ultimate challenge that keeps many people coming back time and again, just as we need to always be on the look out for Blue Moon Opportunities that completely change our lives.
One producer of video games told us, “Ikaruga, re-released their latest video game in April for Microsoft Xbox’s Live Arcade. It is so difficult that some users post their best performances on YouTube.”
A video game researcher at MIT, Jesper Juul, says “There is an art to exasperating people in such a way that it keeps them interested in the game.” This is what makes video games different from all other forms of creative media. It’s all about the feeling of inadequacy and how stupid it makes you feel to get stuck somewhere. Juul explains “People love the rush it gives them when they eventually achieve. Isn’t that why athletes push themselves to the point of no return and beyond, so as to achieve a medal at the Olympics? It’s all about the feeling of satisfaction and being able to outperform others.”
It is facing the same impossible odds that pushed Wendy and Rick to take up the challenge and create Win a Resort and the Blue Moon Opportunity. It is the challenges of life that push us to give of our best, no matter what situation we find ourselves in. It’s all about how to think outside the box.
Rick and Wendy retired to a tropical island, Vanuatu, in the South Pacific. It’s great living in the Happiest Country on Earth and the home of South Pacific Survivors. The best decision we ever made.
Isn’t this cartoon by Mark Lynch fabulous. You need to check out his site.
Maybe you have some great out-of-the-box ideas to share, that pushes people in the ultimate challenge. It only takes one whacky idea to make you a success.

It seems Killer Rabbits keep surfacing, even in the tropical island nation of Vanuatu, in the South Pacific.
The original ‘Killer Rabbit’ was a fictional beast created for the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. This was followed the President Carter’s incident when the Killer Rabbit decided to take a swim.
In Monty Python and the Holy Grail , Bors, one of knights of King Arthur’s round table, boldly approached the innocent looking Guardian Beast, known as the White Rabbit. Bor’s head is chopped off by the White Rabbit, to the sound of a tin opener at work. The knights then attacked in force, only to be driven off by the ‘Killer White Rabbit’.
The Killer Rabbit made its next appearance in a musical, Spamalot, inspired by the Monty Python movie, which in turn was inspired by Shakespeare’s, Hamelot. Since then there have been many Killer Rabbit products: ‘Killer Rabbit slippers’, ‘Killer Rabbit dolls’, ‘Killer Rabbit Tshirts’, even a Jimmy Carter Killer Rabbit attack.
President Jimmy Carter, on a break from the pressures of office, was fishing in a pond in a canoe, when he saw a desperate looking rabbit swimming straight for him. “It’s nostrils flared, hissing menacingly, with its teeth flashing, it was frantically struggling to reach a safe haven,” was the report from one eye witness. No doubt it brought back many memories to the President, of tales told in his childhood, of killer rabbits in the swamps. The President’s Secret Service men were caught flatfooted.
As he was without a weapon of any kind, the President was forced to use the oar against the monster rabbit, in an attempt to defend himself. Fortunately for (we are not sure who), the rabbit decided to turn tail swim for the shore line. It was thought, a photo taken of the incident by a White House photographer, suffered the fate of all ‘Killer Rabbit‘ photos. Flushed down the Presidential toilet, never to see the light of day again (until now).
Then Dean Hunt’s killer rabbit surfaced and ran riot on the social network, hitting the front page of DIGG.
Rumour has it that Dean’s Killer Rabbit has a Killer Rabbit mate who has immigrated to Vanuatu, a tiny tropical island nation, that is the travel adventure destination of the South Pacific. It has been reported that Dean’s Killer Rabbit may be holding a secret tryst with MKR-Vu (Ms Killer Rabbit, Vanuatu) later this year, at Resort, Vanuatu. Stay tuned as we bring you more in the ‘Killer Rabbit’ series.

Most people love to watch movies. However, when a person becomes obsessed by a movie and watches it so many times, it can become deadly. When that person attempts to take the plot of a movie and make it into real life, firmly believing in their heart it is their special Blue Moon Opportunity (an opportunity that changes lives) the results can be disastrous. Here are just three movies which have become real living nightmares. Is fact stranger than fiction, or do the edges become blurred from time to time?
John Hinkley became fixated with actress Jody Fisher and began stalking her. This caused Jody to leave the acting world behind. Hinkley was obsessed with the film Taxi Driver, directed by Martin Scorcese, starring Robert De Niro, where Jodie played the part of a 12 year-old prostitute.
Hinkley also stalked Jimmy Carter, was caught and apprehended for 62 hours, before being released again. Later, Hinkley nearly succeeded in his attempt to kill President Ronald Reagan. Hinkley was determined to impress and win the affection of Jody Fisher.
The film, Taxi Driver centres on a New York taxi driver, who collected guns and attempted to assassinate a presidential candidate. The taxi driver wanted to save a young prostitute from her way of life. All this, Hinkley attempted to act out in real life, involving Jody. President Reagan was fortunate to get away with only taking a bullet under the armpit, but one of his security people ended up in a wheelchair.
Hinkley never let his obsession with Jody Fisher go. Even after being found not guilty of the attempted assassination, because of mental incapacity at the time of the shooting, Hinkley was assigned to St. Elizabeths Hospital for the mentally ill. A collection of photos of Jody were take from Hinkley’s room, five years after being confined to the hospital.
39 year old, Bernedict Hancock, bank manager of the Royal Bank of Scotland, watched too many Robin Hood movies. No, it’s not a a story based in a green-treed Sherwood Forest, but a modern concrete and glass jungle.
Bernedict Hancock stole a total of seven million pounds from rich customers and gave it to poor and needy clients. Clients who were going through a period of financial hardship. The kind of companies banks say a loud clear ‘No Loan’ to.
Hancock told the true owners of the money, their funds had been invested in safe Bank of England bonds. As Hancock never took advantage for himself, of his life of crime, it was not until one of the bank’s rich clients discovered that his account was five million pounds short, that an internal investigation followed.
Of the seven million pounds stolen, the bank was able to reclaim only 700,000 pounds from two different firms. The bank had to write off the other $6.3 million. This amount was loaned to a failing clothes manufacturer.
Two Albanian women in their late seventies, living in the USA, were sentenced to life imprisonment. They copy-catted the classic comedy movie Arsenic and Old Lace. Frank Copra’s movie, starring Carey Grant, centred on two old ladies befriending homeless men. Through the kindly administration of home-made elderberry wine, liberally laced with arsenic, strychnine and cyanide, the women sent the men to their death.
The Black Widows, Helen Golay, 77 and Olga Rutterschmidt, 75, were found guilty after having befriended two homeless men, aged 73 and 50, at an Eastern European church. They had found accommodation for the men and taken out life policies on the men, (insurance-with-intent-to-murder). They arranged for the men to be killed in a hit-and-run car accident in an isolated side alley. The women collected nearly $3 million for their trouble. There were also several other similar victims who had died in similar circumstances, having also been insured by the women.
While we all enjoy the occasional ‘veg-out’ watching films, I wonder how many movie plots have become fact? If you know of any others please add them to this list. It is enough to make you question which comes first, fact of fiction?
