Justin Bieber...butches up act on Jay Leno!

Was Justin Bieber intentionally transforming his squeaky-clean image, right before our very eyes on the Jay Leno show last night?

From this perch, it appeared that the teen sensation was trying to butch up his act.

When he strode up to take a seat next to Jay shortly after dancing up a storm to the beat of his new hit single, he revealed a cocky side, when he plunked down on the couch and tossed one foot up on the coffee table.

I sensed that the lack of manners, though a show of sudden butchness, may have ticked Leno off.

But, not one to turn his back on  a meal ticket, the congenial host proceeded to ignore the rude conduct.

Then, the young Canadian upstart surprised us all when he noted - with a straight face - that if he wasn't a performer he'd like to be mechanic.

Now, baby-faced Bieber was swaggering into sure-fire studly territory

Perhaps it was Justin's knee-jerk reaction to  a hilarious segment on TMZ last night which turned the spotlight on a web site that pays tribute to young lesbian women who are the spitting image of the pop idol.
The novel social hub features candid shots of lesbian women outfitted in tight t-shirts, straight-legged designer jeans, and requisite page boy "do". 

The web page is known for loving beaver - um - Bieber.

Chaz Bono eat your heart out!

The tom-boy look is all the rage among nubile lesbos, after all.

I wonder, do they strap their breasts down tight, or were the gals just flat-chested (like Justin) to begin with?

Bieber is basking in the glow of the phenomenal success of his new release My World 2.0.

It roared to the top of the charts after rustling up 230,000 sales.

The popular musical whiz is the youngest male solo artist to chart since Stevie Wonder in 1963.

The night before, Bieber put in an appearance on American Idol with image-maker USHER in tow.

"If you were a contestant on the show, could you handle Simon Cowell," Jay quizzed.

He laughed out loud and shook his head (in disgust?).

Piece of cake, obviously.

Bieber took everyone by surprise this week, when he bought out an established show-biz web site, lock stock and barrel.

The site - Bieber or Die - features a multitude of publicity stills of the pop singer.

And, some hilarious comedy sketches.

For instance, in one video he spouts off into the camera that a trendy nightclub turfed him out for being underage.

 "So, I bought the place. Turned it into a Chuck E. Cheese," he laughed hysterically into camera.

"I swim after I eat, too. I don't care," he mugged to the camera with an adorable pouty grin on his mug.

At this juncture, he jumped on his bicycle, and quipped to a pal.

"Let's go get a lollipop!"

Actually, he probably roared off in his new Range Rover.

Will success spoil Justin Bieber?

Roman Polanski...extradition on hold 'til California Courts show hand!

The Roman Polanski fiasco continues along at a snail's pace.

According to a spokesman, the Swiss courts will not rule on the issue of Polanski's extradition to the U.S. to face the music in Los Angeles, until California Appellate Justices rule on the question of the legality of a sentencing in abstentia.

In the event the U.S. Court rules in favor of a hearing in abstentia - and Polanski ends up facing less than six months behind bars, Swiss officials have noted for the record that they will not turn the aging Lothario over to authorities on these shores.

On the other hand, if the ruling does not pan out favorably for the respected film director, his lawyers will undoubtedly exhaust all legal options available ad nauseam (which is his right, of course).

In the final analysis, Polanski is wasting precious judicial resource, and stalling and delaying the inevitable either way.

Shame!

Mia Farrow in Polanski's Rosemary's Baby!

Twitter...Gary Busey quote! Poetry in motion...

With this poetic flourish at the keyboard, actor Gary Busey established he still has a great sense of humor, in spite of the storms constantly raging all around him.

Roses are red. Violets are blue
I want you right next to me, but a court ordered 200 yards will do.

Book of Revelations...4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse!

This evening I thought my thoughts - as I listened to my favorite piece of classical music - Handel's Messiah.

At one point, I recalled that just before I embarked on my journey to San Francisco, I did something I rarely ever do.

I took the paper money out of my wallet (a fine mess of presidential faces turned this way 'n that) and counted  it.

I froze on the spot.

The total?

$666.00

"Oh, gosh," there must be some meaning in that, I thought to myself.

Barely a day passes without some sign or omen descending from the heavens.

Of course, my immediate focus turned to the beast, the anti-christ.

But, what did it  mean?

Unfortunately, the answer - not even a hint of one - remained elusive that day.

Tonight, as I sat in the dark listening to the uplifting strains of Handel's composition, it suddenly hit me like a bolt of lightning.

The message of the 666 omen (by virtue of the cash in my billfold) was crystal clear.

Money is the root of all evil.

A remarkable notion swept over me.

If only we could pool the resources of the world - spread the wealth - feed, clothe and house the needy!

The hour is upon us.

The prophecies of the Book of Revelations are unfolding.

And, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, are riding in the distance just off the  horizon.

The signs are all around us.

But, it's so obvious, we are blinded by the light of reality.

Consider the following translation @  Daniel 9:27 in the Holy Bible.

"The Antichrist (the beast) will come into power and sign a covenant (with Israel, some say) for seven years."

This seven-year period of time is known as the “tribulation.”

"During the tribulation, there will be terrible wars, famines, plagues, and natural disasters."

God will  pour out His wrath against sin, evil, and wickedness.

The tribulation includes the appearance of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and 7 trumpets sounding as 7 seals are cracked open.

The first horseman of the Apocalypse is mentioned in Revelation 6:2:

“I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.”

This first horseman refers to the Antichrist who will be given authority and will conquer all who oppose him.

The antichrist is the false imitator of the true Christ who will also return on a white horse (Revelation 19:11-16).

The second horseman of the Apocalypse appears in Revelation 6:4:

“Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.”

The second horseman refers to terrible warfare that will break out in the end times.

The third horseman is described in Revelation 6:5-6:

“And there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand."

 Then he heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures saying:

"A quart of wheat for a day's wages  and three quarts of barley for a day's wages and do not damage the oil and the wine!’”

The third horseman of the Apocalypse refers to a great famine that will take place.

The fourth horseman is mentioned in Revelation 6:8:

“I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.”

The fourth horseman of the Apocalypse is symbolic of death and devastation.

The four horsemen are “precursors” of worse judgments that come later in the tribulation. (Revelation chapters 8–9 & 16).

I pray for peace, perfect peace!

San Francisco...parking fees hiked! Slew of new meters for Bay area...

Smart meter!

Yesterday morning, I tossed on my jeans and a t-shirt, laced up my sneakers, and sprinted down the street for my morning cup of java.

An article about parking fees - on the front page of the Examiner - caught my eye.

OMG!

The feature jogged my memory.

I forgot to move my car out of a "no parking" zone.

In a scant few minutes, a street-cleaner would be cursing me out loud, and a snarling meter maid would be careening up to the curb to slap a parking violation on the windshield of my beloved SUV.

Ouch!

So, I passed on the brew, and streaked down the street to alter destiny.

Whew! 

Mission accomplished.

As to the report in the Examiner, well, it wasn't good news for locals (or tourists either).

A proposed hike in meter fees - estimated to rustle up a million or so bucks a year - may be given the green light.

But, there are other changes on the horizon that may turn the bay area into a battle zone.

When it comes to parking, at least!

For instance, parking hours may be extended to Sunday in five highly-trafficked neighborhoods.

And, approximately 5400 snazzy new meters will be installed, with state-of-the-art features designed to reduce congestion, step up occupancy, and facilitate easy pay.

A pilot program (90 days in length) may test the waters to determine the impact (negative or positive) on a proposed plan to extend hours at Fisherman's Wharf.

Slated changes:  9 p.m. on week-days; 12 midnight on week-ends.

Pretty soon, folks will be paying toll fees through the nose to travel along city streets!

Google will be right there to map out the routes.

Ellen DeGeneres...Miley Cyrus niave! Fibber at it again...

 

Shortly after I published a post yesterday afternoon which focused on Miley Cyrus's growing lack of credibility (she's a teller of tall tales, after all) I found myself yelling at the old boob a few minutes later when Miley trotted out on the stage of the "Ellen Show" and proceeded to chat up a storm.

"There you go again."

In a post last week, I reported that Miley shut-down her twitter account, because she alleged threats were received from users who were angry with comments she made in support of Gay Marriage.

Post: 03/22/10

http://ijulian.blogspot.com/2010/03/miley-cyrustweet-or-twit-gay-marriage.html

Since that time, Miley has been reluctant to confirm those shocking events on-camera, unless cornered to do so.

For example, when Jay Leno quizzed her about the twitter incident, she tried to change her story.

"Oh, I quit because twitter-users tweet about stupid things, like going to the bathroom," she chided in so many words.

Leno appeared to be taken aback.

"I thought it had to do with the fact you supported Gay Marriage?"

Perhaps it slipped Miley's mind?

After all, the excuse about the "Gay Marriage" comment, is the one she offered up to Parade magazine a few weeks ago.

Miley got a little flustered for a sec, then fessed up that Jay's take on it was correct.

Did she wise up to the fact that - once a comment is made on the record about a particular subject - it's probably best to stick to the original story for credibilty's sake?

No!

On Ellen's show yesterday she claimed there was another reason why she quit twitter.

Arghhh!

The perky talk show host (herself gay) probed further.

"I heard it was because you supported Gay Marriage!"

Good one!

Go in for the kill, Ellen.

In the aftermath, Miley scrambled to sort-out the dilemma she found herself in.

"I was asked a question. So, I gave my opinion."


But her naivete really charged to the fore when she quipped:

"They were saying that love was wrong. How could love between two people be wrong?"

Huh?

Ms. Cyrus has obviously not mingled much with folks in the mainstream around the country - or for that matter, given the issue much thought - otherwise she wouldn't open her yap and make such a silly remark.

The argument for gay marriage does not hinge on the question of "Love" per se.

Contrary to what Ms. Cyrus thinks, the people she was complaining about, don't believe that love is ever "wrong".

Christians in the heartland, for instance, tend to take a cue from scriptures that teach that homosexuality - "a man lying down with another man" - is not only sinful but goes against the laws of nature.

There is a better argument to pursue that has a lot more bite in respect to the issue of "gay marriage".

For instance, there isn't any proof that the passages in the Bible Christians refer to in support of their position, are - in fact - the word of God!

Over the centuries the scriptures have been revised - and quite possibly rewritten - to  meet a specific agenda of the day (or the powers-that-be).

Elsewhere in the scriptures, another passage underscores that when God calls on an individual, it is not necessary for that person to change.

The Lord accepts the individual as they are.

Miley's on the right track in many respects, but needs to step out of her protected shell - get real - and spout off accordingly.

To quote myself:

"If your actions are pure of heart, there is no harm."

Amen!

Journalists...under attack by hackers! Malicious e-mails & a Soldier Virus!

Today, it was a bit of a relief to stumble across an article in the morning  paper - the San Francisco Chronicle - in which was reported that journalists have been under attack by unscrupulous hackers.

For good reason!

It is heartening to know that I have not been the only writer under attack!

Ever since I reported on malicious viruses I uncovered at google a few weeks ago - and the subsequent battle the owners of the leading search engine has been engaged in with the Chinese Government - my own e-mail has been targeted.

However, contrary to the allegations set forth in the Chronicle's informative article, the hackers have not only forwarded e-mail on occasionn (or deleted it) but also used malicious worms  designed to infect and disable the victim's computer.

In fact, I just reported on a malicious intruder - the Soldier Virus - which popped up on my own computer after checking e-mail at Yahoo yesterday afternoon.

Post:  3/31/10

http://ijulian.blogspot.com/2010/03/soldier-virusscam-extorting-money.html

When I was checking the "registry" of my computer, I also located a user key which stated in the caption "blog this".

I determined that the "virus" was designed to disrupt attempts to access blog sites - post articles - and so forth and so on.

In the article in the Chronicle, a reporter noted that one journalist - Kathleen McLaughlin - was a victim last week when her account was disabled (she's a former Chronicle Foreign Service contributor).

"Someone is clearly targeting journalists," she lamented to a New York Times Beijing correspondence.

"It makes me feel very uncomfortable."

The Chronicle noted that for some inexplicable reason, Yahoo has remained silent over the matter, except for a vague statement issued to the press yesterday.

"We are committed to protecting user security and privacy and we take appropriate action in the event of any kind of breach."

If the FBI is involved - and there is an investigation underway - then that reponse would be understandable.

I intend to report the Soldier Virus incident to that Law Enforcement agency by way of their Cyber Crime unit online since the individuals are not only trying to disable computers but also extort money from the victims.

These allegations were reported in my article yesterday (link above).
