Rumor mills confirm Star Wars actress Natalie Portman too old to smoke pot anymore?

[May 17]

Star Wars and Black Swan actress Natalie Portman recently announced that while she absolutely loves watching stoner movies, she is too old to smoke pot anymore. The green celebrity claims she smoked marijuana back in college when she was young, free to do whatever she wanted, and had a bedtime well past ten o’clock. That is certainly not the case anymore! While Natalie Portman is refer madness friendly because giggle weed humor still makes her happy, as a new celebrity mom she can’t partake anymore and hits the hay (rather than the grass) when she’s ready to snore.

The news Natalie Portman was a supporter of marijuana use surprised many of the more straight-laced people in Hollywood social circles who thought the very intense actress was not a party girl.

Marijuana Laws: Supreme Court rule Police can enter if they smell pot?

Marijuana Laws!

Supreme Court rule Police can enter your home without a warrant if they smell pot?

[May 17]

Here’s a green news update, for better or for worse. The Supreme Court members have sided with Police that they can enter a home without a search warrant if they claims to smell pot. The problem is, how does one prove where law enforcement really smelled marijuana or not? It’s a civil rights disaster for those who value privacy along with their right to feel safe and protected in their home. Big Brother just took one more legalized step into American homes, and they want your pot.

The Supreme Court ruled against a Kentucky man named Hollis King on May 16th, 2011 when he tried to legally defend his right to keep a private home free from law enforcement intrusion. He was formally arrested after local police came charging into his apartment without a search warrant. Their probably cause? The officers say they entered the domicile because they smelled marijuana. The reason they cited for busting in the door was that they though he was trying to get rid of incriminating evidence.

*flush*

Voting 8-1, the Supreme Court Justices reversed the state Supreme Court ruling that had originally thrown out all the physical evidence the intruding officers gathered when they entered Hollis King’s apartment.

President Obama on Oprah to refute Donald Trump, hides bin Laden intel?

Elections 2012!

President Obama and First Lady appear on Oprah to discount Trump week before verifying Osama Bin Laden is dead?

[May 1]

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama appeared on Oprah just hours after the White House released the long form birth certificate last week, demonstrating that President Obama was indeed born in Hawaii — and not Kenya as both Donald Trump, his own wife, and grandmother had claimed. Some continue to criticize the president, saying that he should have released the birth certificate earlier. But most now have begun pulling their punches about the place of birth at least, and are expected to do so with increasing respectfulness now that Obama has released the information requested by Donald Trump and the Tea Party and he made a formal announcement that Osama Bin Laden is dead.

The president, somewhat jokingly, said that he knew he was born in Hawaii, because he was there and he remembered it. First Lady Michelle Obama cut in: “He was born here,” she exclaimed with a laugh, to a cheering audience. This was said in spite of evidence where long before the candidacy, Michelle Obama had proudly claimed in a public speech cause on video tape that her husband Barack Obama was in fact born in Kenya. And yes — the whole issue, whether you like President Obama or not — is disconcerting to say the least.

Lady Gaga apologizes to fans for retarded comment via Perez Hilton blog?

Celebrity OOPS!

Lady Gaga apologizes to fans for retarded comment via Perez Hilton blog?

[Apr. 22]

Lady Gaga told British music magazine NME that accusations of plagiarism are “retarded.” But almost immediately realizing her celebrity OOPS moment, she apologized for the use of that particular word. Saying the use of the comment goes against what she does to support causes that she associates with, including her outspoken support for the LGBT community, Lady Gaga ate crow with a seriously apologetic game face on. “I consider it part of my life’s work and music to push the boundaries of love and acceptance,” said Gaga in a statement released through celebrity blogger Perez Hilton. Yes, that is right. She used Perez Hilton to help her get the word out to Little Monsters and Critics everywhere that Lady Gaga did not mean to make a slur against the special needs community or to demean them. She readily admitted her words were chosen poorly.

The press release statement Lady Gaga issued about having used the word retarded inappropriately was written in such a way that is was very politically correct. She writes:

“To anyone that was hurt, please know that it was furiously unintentional.

Whether life’s disabilities left you outcast, bullied or teased, rejoice and love yourself today.”

TheSocialChallenge.org has demonstrated that when engaged, like Lady Gaga, users of the word “retard” are likely to apologize.

You can visit the site to see live streams of tweets using the word. Consider telling those who are using it to take it back and find a better word to discuss the situation. The way Lady Gaga used it demonstrates just how casual it can be, and how unfair it really is.

Says Holly Roos:

“It’s really unfortunate when someone with as much influence as Lady Gaga uses that word,” said Holly Roos, an advocate for TheSocialChallenge.org, and a mother of two children with Fragile-X syndrome.

“But through The Social Challenge, in just over a month, we’ve actually had hundreds of people tweet back with apologies, pledging not to use the word in the future. It’s a great opportunity to make a difference, and I’m really glad to see that Lady Gaga thought better of her words, too.”
