Which Gossip Site Should You Be Reading?I must admit that I am addicted to celebrity gossip websites TMZ.com and PerezHilton.com. I can spend a few hours at each of them browsing through the celebrity photos and reading the latest juicy celebrity secrets revealed. My favorite celebrity photo galleries are bad celebrity cosmetic
surgeries and celebrities without makeup. There are some things that I love and some things that I hate about each of these two sites.PerezHilton.com vs. TMZ.comPerezHilton.com is run by Mario Lavandeira, better known as Perez Hilton, and has been the leader in online gossip. This site has tons of pictures, quotes and Perez loves to draw funny things on celebrity pictures. The site is interactive and lets users post comments on each blog post. I would have to say that PerezHilton has more scandalous coverage of Robert Pattinson, “Octomom” Nadya Suleman, Robert Pattinson and the rest of the “Twilight”cast.You can also get juicy Hollywood gossip with Perez Hilton Mobile. I really like how Perez features new up and coming artists. He really helped paved the way for Lady GaGa and Katy Perry. I do not appreciate how Perez steals photos from the paparazzi and how his personal agenda is overwhelming the site. Sometimes it’s just annoying and it’s making him lose some fans to TMZ. TMZ.com or PerezHilton?Ex “The People’s Court” commentator Harvey Levin runs TMZ and although it does have a tabloid feel, Levin has claimed that they aim for accuracy. I do appreciate this aspect of the site and love how they debut legal documents like the police report for the Chris Brown and Rihanna scandal. Michael Jackson’s death certificate also broke news on TMZ. The infamous picture of Rihanna’s bloody face was also leaked on TMZ. They are very quick with their breaking news, while Perez Hilton is busy promoting himself.
TMZ or Perez Hilton for Breaking Celebrity Gossip
Perezhilton.Com Versus WWTDD.Com For Celebrity Gossip
The Low Down on the Popular Celebrity Gossip WebsitesI like celebrity gossip as much as the next person, OK, probably more. When I don’t want to wait for my US Weekly , I can easily go to Perezhilton.com or WWTDD.com for the scoop on my favorite hot-mess celebrities. Although both celebrity gossip websites cover a lot of the same content, each offers a different perspective and appeals to a different crowd. One great thing about both Perezhilton.com and WWTDD.com is that they’re not censored like celebrity gossip magazines, making them ten times more
hilarious (and addictive). Perezhilton.com is written by Mario Lavandeira (aka Perez Hilton) and is definitely the more well known of the two sites. A major plus for Perezhilton.com is that there are a ton of posts every day. If you’ve got a lot of time on your hands, this might be the celebrity gossip website for you. Perezhilton.com goes beyond just posting gossip items. They also post links for new music as well as charity opportunities. Perezhilton.com is not without its drawbacks, though. I don’t know if it’s due to the volume of the material produced, but it’s not nearly as funny as what’s on WWTDD.com. They seem to be more about quantity than quality. Perezhilton.com also usually only posts one or two pictures for each item, whereas you can find a plethora of pictures on WWTDD.com. Overall, though, Perezhilton.com is a pretty good celebrity gossip site with a lot of information. Perez is so well known that he gets a lot of good dirt. WWTDD.com is written by Brendon Donnelly and stands for What Would Tyler Durden Do (Tyler Durden being Brad Pitt’s character from Fight Club). Since he’s not really a celebrity himself, like Perez, he can afford to really get a lot more jabs in. There doesn’t really seem to be anyone in Hollywood that he’s afraid to make fun of. This celebrity gossip website is, hands down, my favorite because it’s so freaking hilarious. I usually find myself laughing out loud at my computer like a fool when I go to WWTDD.com.
Acai Berry: Scams Everywhere, Buyer Beware
Multitudes of Online Shady Acai Berry Offers
Acai berry, is one of the latest many online fraud triggers out there. Companies are sprouting up all over the place since Oprah touted the benefits of Acai berry a while back. A lot of different claims
are being made by various sellers online. According to all the claims, you can lose weight, get improved health, more energy, etc.
So lets take a look at what wikipedia has to say about the Acai berry product in general:
from (source) Wikipedia:
“Recently, the açaí “berry” has been marketed as a dietary supplement. Companies sell açaí berry products in the form of tablets, juice, smoothies, instant drink powders, and whole fruit.
Marketers of these products make unverified claims that açaí provides increased energy levels, improved sexual performance, improved digestion, detoxification, high fiber content, improved skin appearance, improved heart health, improved sleep, and reduction of cholesterol levels. Açaí has higher levels of antioxidants, which are claimed to promote health, more than cranberry, orange, and apple juices, but less than Concord grape, blueberry, and black cherry juices.Apparently false claims include reversal of diabetes and other chronic illnesses, as well as expanding size of the penis and increasing men’s sexual virility and sexual attractiveness to women Açaí is most commonly marketed as a weight loss product.
As of March 2009, there are no controlled studies backing up any of these claims. According to ABC News correspondent Susan Donaldson, these products have not been evaluated (in the United States) by the FDA, and their efficacy is questionable.[4] In late 2008, lawyers for Oprah Winfrey Show” href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Oprah_Winfrey_Show”>The Oprah Winfrey Show began investigating alleged statements from supplement manufacturers who suggested that frequent Oprah guest Dr. Mehmet Oz had recommended their product or açai in general for weight loss.[5]“
Now lets take a look at some of the grievances against the various companies touting the acai berry. From the Complaintsboard.com website, 7,205 complaint matches for acai berry to date:
I-Inc IF171ABB 17″ Widescreen LCD Monitor Review
We purchased the I-Inc IF171ABB 17″ Widescreen LCD monitor for my wife’s computer, and despite it’s low price, ($89.99 at Tier Direct on sale), we got more than we paid for. The monitor came packaged well, and was an absolutely beautiful monitor, of course I tend to say that about all my
new computer parts, LOL. We removed the stand, and the only problem we had with the entire monitor purchase and set-up is that there is a piece of tape over one of the screw holes that holds the base stand on, and the piece of tape says, “Warranty Void if removed”. We called the company and expressed that this tape had to be removed or damaged in order to remove the stand so we could mount it to an Ergotron desk mount swing arm. They understood fully, and made note on our ownership file that the tape was removed only for the purpose of mounting to a mount. The reason for the tape over this particular screw is because this screw has to be removed in order to access the insides of the monitor itself, therefore someone could open the case and damage the monitor, but they were understanding of our plight.Once we hooked up the I-Inc IF171ABB monitor, it worked beautifully. The computer automatically recognized it’s native resolution and adjusting the settings accordingly. Something most people do not understand about monitors is, a 17 inch LCD monitor is larger than a 17 inch CRT monitor. The reason being when they measure a tube for a CRT monitor, they measure the diagonal of the entire tube which extends beyond the viewable area. On an LCD monitor, they measure the actual viewable LCD panel. Therefore a 17 inch LCD monitor is equivalent to most 19 inch CRT monitors, and did I mention the price? $89.99!!The refresh rate on the I-Inc IF171ABB 17″ Widescreen LCD Monitor is fast and watching movies and TV on it is quite enjoyable. Working on it is equally pleasurable. My wife is a photographer and she does digital graphics as well, and to say she loves doing her work on this new monitor would be a serious understatement.The specs for the I-Inc IF171ABB are:
AOC 1619Sw1 16″ Widescreen LCD Monitor Review
The AOC 1619Sw1 16″ Widescreen LCD Monitor was a budget buy for our kids computers and one for mine as well. We purchased 4 of these monitors for $79.99 each from Tiger Direct online, and I have to say I am wonderfully pleased with these monitors for basic computer work. The refresh rate
is 8ms, and my wife and I enjoy watching movies on this monitor. There is little or no shadowing at all during action scenes, if there is any shadowing, we have not noticed it. The monitor looks beautiful with a glossy piano black finish so it looks nice whether it is sitting on a desk, or on a wall or desk mount.With our purchase of four of these monitors, all came through shipping in perfect condition, there are no dead or stuck pixels on any of the monitors, and I have to say, I love doing my work on this monitor and the kids love them too for their games and homeschool. We have had these monitors for over four months now and have had to issues with them. The screen is bright and is adjustable also, even though our monitors are all set at 50% brightness.The only con I have with the AOC 1619Sw1 Widescreen Monitor is the angle of view. From side to side it isn’t bad, but because of my disability my monitor is set on a desk mount swing arm so I can work from bed. When I lay down to watch a show, I have to pitch the monitor at a steep downward angle because watching the monitor from an angle lower than straight on, the dark area’s get that metallic look often seen in cheaper monitors or monitors with narrow viewing angles. However, the side to side angle is beautiful, even at a wide angle.The specs on the AOC 1619Sw1 are as follows:Screen Size: 15.6 inchesDisplay Area: 344.2mm x 193.5mmPixel Pitch: 0.252mmDisplay Colors: 16.7 millionDisplay Format: 16:9 Wide LCDVertical Refresh Rate: 50~75 HzHorizontal Frequency: 30K~80KHzInterface Type: VGAContrast Ratio: 500:1Brightness: 250 cd/m²Response Time: 8 msHorizontal Viewing Angle: 90 degreesVertical Viewing Angle: 65 degreesMaximum Resolution: 1366 x 768Unit Dimensions (WxHxD): 14.9″ x 9.8″x 2.0″Dimensions With Stand: 14.9″ x 11.85″ x 6.46″Unit Weight: 6.93 lbsPower Consumption: 20W

After seeing that America has change for the better since you now see some Chinese actors and actresses that are becoming famous here in America, it was a long road for most to start off. They made me so proud on being Chinese-American (I’m 100% Chinese but born in Seattle, WA) where I
realize that I am so lucky on being in the” land of the free. ” I decided to compile a list of famous Chinese actors and actresses that most people know here in America.1. Bruce Lee- He was the first Chinese person who tried his hardest to make it in America as an actor by making kung fu movies. He was born in San Francisco and grew up speaking Cantonese. He fought alongside with Jackie Chan and Chuck Norris who is famous on the show called “The Texas Ranger” which USA channel might still be playing his show. His grave is now alongside his son, Brandon Lee, in the Lakeview Cemetery here in Seattle, WA.2. Jackie Chan- Everyone knows who he is. He was raised in Australia while he was a baby and when he first started off, he didn’t have that much luck on getting audiences to accept his fighting movies just because he was Chinese. He was in one of Bruce Lee’s movie and became friends with him. He made a name for himself even more with Chris Tucker in “The Rush Hour” where they made three different series.3. Michelle Yeoh- She was famous after she appeared in one of the James Bond movies. She had shown that she knows how to fight and does her own stunts without any stunt doubles on the fighting scenes. As a female, she had shown great strength that even being in a male dominated world, female and male are equal when it comes to the fighting area.4. Zhang Ziyi- She started off doing Chinese movies in mainland China and when the opportunity came to her to be in the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon since Shu Qi had to decline it she became really famous here in the United States. Despite the fact that she doesn’t know how to speak English that much, she is learning. She appear in the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with Michelle Yeoh and the next actor on the list, Chow Yun-Faat.

Christian Cafe: A Well Known and Reputable Christian Dating Site
I have been a member of “Christian Cafe” for over two years. It is a very well known, reputable Christian dating site. I know a couple of people who have met their spouse on here. There are a lot of features that this website has to offer. One of the best things about this site is that you can see who is online in your area at the same time you are on. The site is very user friendly. Everything that you need is right on the front page. You can also do a search to see whose birthday it is today, who the new members are, you
can search by username and see who is online in your area or anywhere. If you click on “quickmatch” you will get a number of people that have a profile similar to yours or what you are looking for in a mate.Profiles are filled with useful information and short answer questions that really tell you something about a person. Age, marital status, denomination or religion, race, location etc. are important examples of what is listed on a profile. It also shows some other particulars that aren’t too necessary, but good to know. Some of those things are the kind of car someone drives, hair and eye color, favorite books, music, etc. I think the short answers are very important because it allows you to see how people express themselves. You also get a better indication of what they are really like and what they are looking for. One question is to discuss what kind of relationship and age range you are looking for. Another is to describe their personality. I really learn a lot from this question. People will come right out and tell you if they are sarcastic or moody. Another essential question is to describe their faith level and their beliefs. Out of all the questions, I think this is the most important, especially on this site. Christian Café also has chat rooms which are nice. Some of the names of the chat rooms are: Bible Study, Cruise, 30-60, Debate, Friends, etc. They vary all the time because anybody can start a chat. This is a great feature to have.
