Maybe a Good Idea?

Might circumcision be a good idea after all?

The usual set of arguments are that on hte one hand, yes, it does indeed protect against certain diseases. However, at the same time, it reduces male sensitivity and this might thus mean (and is usually taken to mean so) that this reduces the total amount of sexual pleasure.

On balance, circumcision is therefore a bad idea.

However, an intriguing point has just been made. Reduced sensitivity will in fact mean longer is pent in each specific instance os sec. This, surely, is an increase in total sexual pleasure?

Is this thus yet another reason why circumcision should be promoted?

That $10.5 Million Lawsuit

Yes, you really do want to go over here to see what Perry Caravello has managed to get himself into.

It's very difficult to know whether he's the victim or whether it is just very good marketing for the movie itself.

Prizes for Boozing?

No, indeed, perhaps this wasn't the wisest idea:

On second thought, maybe it was not a good idea to give an award for drinking to local government officials.

The South Korean county of Koesan has decided it will discontinue giving out its "Drinking Culture Prize" after being flooded with complaints that the award promotes drunkenness among municipal employees and encouraged binge drinking.

A county official said Wednesday the public misunderstood the intention of the award, which was meant to recognize government workers who go out to local restaurants and bars to meet citizens and hear what they have to say.

"I guess it was our mistake that the purpose was misinterpreted," said the official, who asked not to be named.

Although I'd like to see the council bureaucrats out drinking round our way. I could make sure I spit in their pint that way.

Antonella Barba Sex Photos

So, we're still a little mystified as to whether those photos of Anonella Barba were indeed Antonella Barba:

Newly eliminated "American Idol" contestant Antonella Barba said on Friday the racy photographs that made her an Internet sensation were taken for personal use only and released without her consent.

Barba, 20, broke her silence about the latest sex scandal to hit U.S. TV's most popular show during a conference call with reporters the day after she and three other contestants were voted off the talent competition.

Ground rules set by producers of Fox television's smash hit prohibit participants from speaking directly to the media while they remain in the contest.

Without being specific, the former college student from New Jersey acknowledged for the first time that at least some of the photos that turned up online in recent weeks, showing her in various stages of undress, were authentic.

The photos included images of a young woman lying on her back covered in rose petals, posing in her underwear, sitting on a toilet and standing among a group of topless women at a beach, hands over their breasts. Others showed a woman performing oral sex on a man.

Online chat rooms and blogs were abuzz with "Idol" fans and Internet gawkers commenting on the photos after they appeared.

She doesn't actually say that the ones of sex were or were not her, just says that some of the photos were definitely her. Hhhm.

New Beatles Album

Now here is a really interesting idea. Take the songs from hte first solo albums of the various Beatles and then redo them as if they were in fact Beatles arrangments.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A group of New York musicians is planning to do what the Beatles never did -- perform the songs the Fab Four might have recorded as their final album had they stayed together just a little longer.

The Beatles tribute band The Fab Faux -- made up of some of the New York's leading professional musicians -- will perform the songs they think would have been on that album on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The performance at New York's Webster Hall consists of material from the original Fab Four's early solo careers.

All of the tracks will be performed with distinctive Beatles-type arrangements, rather than the spartan feel of Lennon's early recordings and McCartney's first solo effort, recorded at his home almost as a demo tape.

"It's totally on a lark because it didn't happen. It wouldn't have happened," keyboardist and guitarist Jack Petruzzelli said.

The Fab Faux's set will include the John Lennon songs "Jealous Guy," "Instant Karma," "Mother," "Remember" and "Gimme Some Truth." From Paul McCartney comes "Maybe I'm Amazed," "Every Night," "Another Day," "Hot as Sun/Glasses" and "Oo You." They'll also perform George Harrison's tunes "All Things Must Pass" and his solo hit "My Sweet Lord" and "What is Life."

And no late Beatles album would be complete without a Ringo Starr song, in this case, "It Don't Come Easy."

They won't be able to record them (although, actually, I think they could if they really wanted to) so it won't be possible to hear them, which is a pity, as it would be interesting to do so.

Sharon Stone

Now, this is a good example of how far and fast you can fall in Hollywood.

Sharon Stone says she found her role as a depressed and taciturn woman in her latest film strangely uplifting, as it challenged what she called "Prozac society".

"When a Man Falls in the Forest" is in competition at the Berlin Film Festival, where it was screened on Monday, and brings the Hollywood star together with art house director Ryan Eslinger making only his second movie.

The surreal low-budget picture about three dysfunctional characters has little plot but raises fundamental questions about existence, relationships and guilt.

One bomb like Basic Instinct II and you're back doing art house films for inexperienced directors.

Harry Potter Strips!

Well, the actor, Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry Potter does, in his new stage play, Equus:

"Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe, who strips for his new role in London's West End revival of the play "Equus," has ignited a bit of a media firestorm by posing for racy promotional photos for the production.

The Tony-Award-winning drama tells the story of a stable-hand who has an erotic fixation with horses. In one photo, Radcliffe, 17, dares to bare it all alongside a white horse; in another, he is pictured with a naked Joanna Christie, the actress who portrays his girlfriend.

"Equus," directed by Thea Sharrock, opens at London's Gielgud Theater on Feb. 27. Tony Award-winning actor Richard Griffiths plays a pyschiatrist who treats Radcliffe's character.

From the photos already released we can see that he is slim: according to gossip there's one scene where we'll also find out if he is hung like a horse too.

Tara Connor and Cocaine

Tara Connor admitted to cocaine use and to underage drinking in her interview on the Today show. Tsk, tsk:

Kentucky's own Miss USA, Tara Conner from Russell Springs, told Today Show host Matt Lauer in a live interview Thursday that "distorted thinking" made her deny that she was an alcoholic.

"It wasn't actually me thinking," she said.

Conner said she was 19 or 20 when she tried cocaine for the first time.

She alluded to abuse in her past but provided no specifics despite persistent questioning from Lauer. She also denied having a sexual addiction.

Conner, who nearly lost her crown after reports of late-night partying in New York City, was granted a second chance in December. At a press conference, she was contrite but denied that she was an alcoholic.

I thought pretty young women making a fortune were actually supposed to take cocaine and drink? Otherwise, what's champagne for, how are middle aged men supposed to get a look in?

Stealing Hair

Yes, someone really was mugged in order to take her hair to sell:

In a new twist in Rio de Janeiro's crime annals, scissor-wielding thieves clipped off the long, flowing locks of a 22-year-old Brazilian woman as she rode in a city bus.

"We got on at the same stop and they sat behind me," sales assistant Mirna Marchetti said. "Then all of a sudden I felt someone pulling my hair. My friend tried to help me but they just cut it off, right at the base."

The thieves also stole her handbag and her mobile phone before escaping, she told reporters Wednesday after the incident the previous night.

Marchetti's hair was dark, straight and reached down to her waist. She said she had not cut it for four years. Police suspect the thieves hope to sell the hair to a hairdresser.

Beauty salons in Rio can charge more than 500 reais ($250) for top-quality hair extensions, salon owner Rosangela Castro said.

Muggers in crime-plagued Rio de Janeiro often target bus passengers, sometimes robbing a whole bus at gun point.

"This is a new kind of crime,' said a police officer at the station where the report was filed. "They really did mean to steal her hair."

Can I get away with calling it a hair raising crime?
