Eddie Cibrian

Eddie Cibrian is the latest target for celebrity gossip with the claim that he is having an affair with movie co-star LeAnn Rimes.

Both Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes are married and first met on the set of the TV movie Northern Lights.

What a way for their respective other halves to find out! Eddie Cibrian, LeAnn Rimes, shame on you!!

Heather Schmidt

Heather Schmidt, a classical singing artist, has contacted the FBI after what are suspected to be terrorist threats.

It seems Heather Schmidt may have become a target for al qaeda after performing in Pakistan. Her presence in Pakistan captured the attention of the then President Musharraf and an invitation to the Presidents mansion was accepted.

Published photographs of Heather Schmidt and President Musharraf are thought to be the reasons behind the suspected terrorist threats against her. Strange little occurences on Facebook, with photographs and even her schedule have slowly eaten away at Heather Schmidts' resolve and both herself and her management are growing more concerned.

Suzan Lewis



Suzan Lewis is creating a bit of a stir amongst the internet community. The story relates to Suzan Lewis being the long lost daughter of comedian Jerry Lewis and sister of rock n roll legend Gary Lewis.

The relationship of both Jerry and Gary to Suzan Lewis was conclusively proved in a live and televised DNA test. Reality TV, you either love it or hate it. Apparently Gary Lewis is sympathetic to Suzan Lewis' plight but their father, it's suggested, isn't so. Her father didn't want it publicly known he had an illegitimate child and has discontinued the brief relationship.
It was her brother Gary who provided the DNA to conduct the test as he said if the roles where reversed he would want to know who his father was.

All this eventually came out on March 5th of this year and the disabled and formerly homeless Suzan Lewis finally discovered the truth.

Both Suzan Lewis and brother Gary Lewis are to be interviewed by Howard Stern on March 18th on his radio show.

The Clickbank Slap…? Is More Looming?

Clickbanks change in terms and conditions and reserving the right to adjust them again at any given time could be the rumblings of something bigger. On the other hand it could just be knee jerk whimpering.

The current trend of not quite libellous advertising strategies of the scam and rip off reviewers whose web sites laud it at the very top of Google could be the reason. Now if you’re reading this and wondering "what the hell is clickbank?" allow me to elucidate.

Clickbank is essentially an online marketplace. Product and software publishers can use the marketplace to sell their products and utilise other useful resources like affiliate programs and payment processing. The advantages are that anyone can promote a product on a huge marketplace and allow others to sell the products for them without having to set up membership sites, affiliate programs, complex payment schemes and payment processors. It’s a very good and affordable way to promote a product to a huge number of people.

But the aforementioned advertising tactics have surely cast a shadow on the ethics, policies and reputation of clickbank. In most cases the advertisers name specific products and occasionally actual people. Bearing in mind that clickbank both checks and monitors all products before they enter the marketplace and supposedly after, it does in some way tar clickbank with the same scam/rip off brush.

Considering both the size and influence of clickbank this isn’t really the brightest of campaign strategies and has forced them (clickbank) to distance themselves in a way that accepts no responsibility for publisher and affiliate activities alike. The use of the clickbank name is totally prohibited without prior consent and no responsibility is accepted for any of the products on the marketplace. Hmmm...a kop out perhaps?

So the question now really is: How much influence and sway do clickbank have with Google and are they getting themselves out of the way if the Google monster is stirring? Or is it really just the self deprecating whimper of a beaten and now uninterested clickbank?

Probably the latter is the most likely scenario. If Google are already prepared to allow that type of advert to run then it seems unlikely they’ll change their minds. But that’s the thing with Google; you just never know.

What’s that coming over the hill...? Is it a monster...?

Of course it could just be that I am talking out of my own inadvisable orifice. Feel free to join in. We could start a web site: -

Tina Davis

Tina Davis and Chris Brown???? Then he beats up Rihanna???? This story gets more bizarre by the day.

According to relevant sources Tina Davis sent a text message about her and Chris Brown meeting up. Rihanna saw the text message, got angry and slapped her cheating boyfriend upside the head. Apparently that was too much and big man Chris went ape.

Tina Davis is Chris Browns' 40 year old manager and it's been suggested that a relationship between them had been going on since he was 16 years old, he's now 19. Hmmm, now that's just down right NAASSTTY.

However none of this seems to have dulled the relationship between Rihanna and Chris, perhaps he really didn't mean it and promises it will never happen again. Bless.

Its a source of complete mystery why any woman, but especially one like Rihanna, would get back together with a man that has cheated, lied and beaten her up.
