A woman with two vaginas who has captured the attention of the porn industry has said she would never consider accepting any role in a film.

Hazel Jones appeared on TV earlier this week, where she revealed she was diagnosed with ‘uterus didelphys’ – a condition which means she has two wombs and two cervixes.

The 27-year-old has since been approached by Vivid Entertainment, a U.S. adult film production company.

But the horrified blonde, from High Wycombe, claims she would turned down any deal.

According to This Morning, she said: ‘I have never received any offers of this kind of work nor would I never consider doing it in a million years.

‘I just want to be left alone.’

The response comes after founder of Vivid Steven Hirsch wrote a letter to Ms Jones offering her $1m to star in one of his films, TMZ.com revealed.

In the letter, Hirsch wrote: ‘You are obviously an extraordinary woman and I would like to make you an offer to star in an upcoming Vivid production.
‘We would pay you up to $1 million for your services.’Hirsch also promised to cover travel and accommodation expenses, as the film would be shot in Los Angeles.

Hirsch wrote: ‘We would fly you out to L.A. as soon as you are available and provide you with first class accommodations’

A spokesperson for Vivid confirmed the offer, saying: ‘It’s true.

‘Steven made an offer to Hazel Jones.’

Vivid became the first studio to introduce celebrity sex tapes, showing footage of Pamela Anderson and then-husband Tommy Lee and Kim Kardashian.

Hazel Jones has yet to respond to the offer.

But she told ITV’s This Morning she was comfortable with having the condition - despite the fact she had to effectively lose her virginity twice.

‘Once I found out what it was I told everybody,’ she told TV hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.

‘I thought it was amazing and it’s definitely an ice-breaker at parties’

She added: ‘If women want to have a look, I’m quite happy to show them, it’s not something I’m embarrassed by.’

Hazel went to the doctor after her long-term boyfriend told her she was ‘different’ in the genital area.

Hazel said previously she had found sex very uncomfortable, but now she didn’t suffer any adverse effects.

She turned down surgery as it could have left significant scar tissue.

(Scottsdale, AZ) Hazel Jones has made headlines worldwide and raised eyebrows by most men when she went on a British Talk show to discuss her unique medical condition. To better understand Hazel’s unusual condition know as “Uterus Didelphys”. Hazel was born with two separate uteruses, cervixes, and vaginas.

From the interview seen above, Jones didn’t realize her condition until she was 18 and her serious boyfriend at the time told her something was different. While her Mother and doctors didnt’ notice her unique condition at birth. Jones was faced with some challenges when she began to have her period. She even asked one of her friends which hole to put the tampon in. Due to the embarrassment this caused because her friends started to make fun of her. She kept her mouth shut for a while. But every time she had her period, she’d suffer terrible cramps.

Now that Hazel Jones has appeared on talk shows, she has been offered a $million to appear in a porn movie. That’s $500,000 for each vagina… but unfortunately, Hazel turned rejected the offer.

Mimic Octopus and Jawfish

admin — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 10:39:17 +0000

A new film captures a circular game of copycat: a fish that mimics an octopus that mimics fish.

First described by scientists in 1998, the remarkable mimic octopus (Thaumoctopus mimicus) can shift its shape, movements and color to impersonate toxic lionfish, flatfish and even sea snakes. Such mimicry allows it to swim in the open with relatively little fear of predators.

The black-marble jawfish (Stalix histrio), on the other hand, is a small, timid fish. It spends most of its adult life close to a sand burrow that serves as its hideout if a predator comes along.

“All jawfish are really specialized for living in burrows,” said researcher Luiz Rocha, an ichthyologist at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. “They’re almost never found outside their burrows.”

Unexpectedly, during a diving trip in Indonesia in July, researcher Godehard Kopp of the University of Gottingen in Germany filmed a partnership between the pair of animals. He saw what appeared to be a black-marble jawfish closely tagging behind the octopus as it moved across the sandy seafloor. The jawfish possessed brown-and-white markings similar to ones on the octopus it was following that made it difficult to spot among its many arms. The octopus, for its part, did not seem to notice or care for its entourage. [ Watch the video ]

“It’s a pretty unique observation of mimicry — most of the time, a mimicking animal doesn’t actually follow the model it is mimicking,” Rocha told LiveScience. “But the mimicry wouldn’t work otherwise for this jawfish.”

The researchers suggest the jawfish hitches a ride with the octopus in order to safely venture away from its burrow to look for food.

“The jawfish found a way to get around in the open and not get eaten by anything else,” Rocha said. “It’s not a good swimmer, so any grouper or snapper or predatory fish would easily grab it otherwise.”

In Rocha’s opinion, this jawfish evolved its brown-and-white coloration first and then later discovered the advantage of sticking close to the octopus. “Those jawfish that did gain this advantage survived more often and got more offspring, so this behavior spread throughout the population,” he explained.

“Unfortunately, reefs in the Coral Triangle area of southeast Asia are rapidly declining mostly due to harmful human activities,” Rocha said. “We may lose species involved in unique interactions like this even before we get to know them.”

Rocha, Kopp and their colleague Rich Ross detailed their findings in the December issue of the journal Coral Reefs.

Kim K. getting $600K for New Year’s Eve gig

Reality star set to appear at TAO in Vegas for a series of appearances

LOS ANGELES — Detractors may slug New Year’s Eve as “amateur night,” but for celebs and the pop culture industry, it’s a professional night on the clock.

While Jay-Z, Kanye West and Coldplay headlined the opening of the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas a year ago, one of the big draws this year is Kim Kardashian at TAO inside the Venetian.

TAO is paying the reality mogul $600,000 for a series of appearances beginning on New Year’s Eve, according to multiple reports.

This year, Kardashian filmed several scenes for her E! reality show inside the club.

Having a good time on New Year’s Eve doesn’t come cheap — for the bookers.

The average New Year’s Eve fee for relevant talent is $100,000,” Jack Colton, a Las Vegas nightlife expert and creator of the popular nightlife website JackColton.com, told TheWrap. “An A-List celebrity moves up to $250,000, and for a major grab can go as high as $1 million. Your Lady Gaga’s and Jay-Zs would be considered major grabs,” Colton said.

“It’s a talent arms race, especially in bigger cities,” added publicist Melissa Berger, whose clients include frequently booked “Dancing With the Stars” coach Karina Smirnoff.

“It’s like ‘Who are you’ if you don’t have someone like Deadmau5 on New Year’s Eve,” adds talent manager Mike Petolino.

Of course, it’s not always about money. For some talent, like Kardashian, it’s a question of performing in their favorite place. Breakout DJ and producer Kaskade told TheWrap at November’s “Twilight” premiere that his favorite U.S. venue is Marquee (inside Las Vegas’ Cosmopolitan). On Saturday night, he’ll be commanding $250 a ticket for his performance there.

For other celebs, a highly promoted appearance is a professional calling card to corporate America. “When you go to Vegas, you want to be on the same radar as venues that have Jay-Z hosting the weekend after you,” says Berger. “It sets a dynamic, and could even show brands and businesses that the talent is a good fit to be a part of their company.”

Then there’s the plain old visibility factor. Black Eyed Peas front woman Fergie, to quote one of her own songs, “just can’t get enough.” After a 2011 that included monster promotional appearances on the Super Bowl halftime show, “American Idol” and countless award shows, Fergie takes on one last gig as she opens the Las Vegas outpost of 1 OAK at the Mirage. In a two-for-one booking, husband Josh Duhamel is expected by her side.

Across the strip, Axl Rose and the latest incarnation of Guns ‘N Roses will play the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

And coasting on his “Dancing With the Stars” fame, brother Rob Kardashian hosts at Tryst inside the Wynn, with ticket prices starting $175, lower than his sister’s $225 opening price at TAO.

Even those who cover celebrity news are cashing in.

“Extra” host Mario Lopez plays hooky from L.A. outdoor mall “The Grove” (where he tapes “Extra”) to headline “Big Bang NYE” at another outdoor mall complex, Hollywood and Highland.

Tom Cruise’s son Connor, who’s recently started accepting publicity heavy red carpet gigs as “DJ C-Squared,” is a late addition to the performing talent at that L.A. bash.

As for the party patrons who shell out for the experience, it comes down to the Facebook effect — sharing the experience in real-time or the day after online, a promotional windfall for all involved. “Even a picture from a distance or to hear a celeb you see in magazines speaking on the microphone, you can say ‘I was there!”‘ says Berger.

North Korea officially names Kim Jong Eun supreme commander of its 1.2 million-strong military

PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Korea announced Saturday that Kim Jong Eun has been officially named supreme commander of the military, further strengthening his authority after the death of his father, longtime North Korean leader Kim Jong Il.

Officials and state media have bestowed on Kim Jong Eun, who is in his late 20s, a string of titles as North Korea’s elite rally around him in the wake of his father’s death this month after 17 years in power.

But the title Supreme Commander — and its formal proclamation by the powerful Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party — is a clear sign that Kim Jong Eun is fast consolidating power over North Korea. It’s also the latest step in a burgeoning personality cult around him.

Kim Jong Eun’s age and inexperience have raised questions outside North Korea about his leadership of a nation engaged in delicate negotiations over its nuclear program and grappling with decades of economic hardship and chronic food shortages.

But the North has moved quickly to show the world a unified face.

Kim Jong Eun should be “the only center of unity, cohesion and leadership” of the Workers’ Party, North Korea’s state media said, and the 1.2 million-strong military should uphold the “songun,” or military-first, politics laid down by Kim Jong Il.

The party said the country should unite around Kim Jong Eun and strengthen “the monolithic leadership system of the dear respected Comrade Kim Jong Eun throughout the party and society.”

An unannounced Workers’ Party meeting Friday proclaimed that the younger Kim “assumed supreme commandership of the Korean People’s Army” according to a will made by Kim Jong Il on Oct. 8, the North’s official Korean Central News Agency said in a statement early Saturday morning.

The meeting of the North’s ruling party came one day after the official mourning period for Kim Jong Il ended and senior military and political officials publicly declared Kim Jong Eun leader of the party, military and people at a massive memorial for his father.

Titles are an important part of North Korea’s efforts to link Kim Jong Eun to the myth-building surrounding the Kim family legacy.

Kim Il Sung, the country’s first and only president, retains the title Eternal President even after his death.

Kim Jong Il held three main positions: chairman of the National Defense Commission, general secretary of the Workers’ Party and supreme commander of the Korean People’s Army. According to the constitution, his position as chairman of the National Defense Commission made him Supreme Leader of North Korea.

Kim Jong Eun was made a four-star general last year and appointed a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Workers’ Party. Since his father’s death, he has picked up major titles from officials and state media: Great Successor, Supreme Leader and Great Leader. And now he has officially been named Supreme Commander.

Analysts said the moves show the power transition has been smooth and faster than anticipated.

“The proclamation is something that has been expected, but it is notable that it happened so quickly,” said Kim Yeon-su, a North Korea expert at Korea National Defense University. He said North Korea was showing the world that its system was stable and “the elite remain united.”

He said that next for Kim Jong Eun in 2012 would be for him to be nominated as chairman of the National Defense Commission and to rise to the post of general secretary of the Workers’ Party.

Yang Moo-jin, a professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul, said the succession was accelerating and stabilizing.

“It also shows the military-first rule will continue. The North was pressing ahead with steps for power transition regardless of the mourning period. That shows the country is united.”

Choe Yong Nam, 48-year-old army officer, told The Associated Press in Pyongyang that he was confident with Kim Jong Un as supreme commander of the military. “As we were led by illustrious commanders of Mount Paektu, we have won only victories. I am sure that we will always emerge victorious as we have another great leader Kim Jong Eun.”

Paektu is the highest peak on the Korean Peninsula that the North cites in propaganda to signify the Kim dynasty. It is also Kim Jong Il’s official birthplace.

An engineer with the 326 Electric Wire Factory, Kim Song Un, 54, said he did not expect any changes in the country’s policies. “We will keep to our path of the socialist cause of juche (self reliance) true to the leadership of Kim Jong Eun in the future, as we did under the leadership of Kim Jong Il.”

New home sales keep rising

admin — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 09:23:33 +0000

by Ruth Mantell – Dec. 23, 2011
MarketWatch

WASHINGTON — Led by growth in the South and Midwest, November sales of new single-family U.S. homes rose to the highest rate since April, though overall levels remain low, according to data released Friday by the Commerce Department.

The seasonally adjusted annual rate for sales of new single-family houses reached 315,000 in November, according to government data, matching analysts’ expectations.

While economists have been cheered by improving trends in recent housing data, housing remains weak.

“Despite some modest improvement in recent months, new home sales remain very depressed compared with historical norms,” wrote Andrew Grantham of CIBC World Markets in a research note.

Still, some observers see encouraging signs.

“It is too soon to declare that new home sales are recovering (especially with our misgivings over the construction of the data and the failure to amend the sales numbers for cancellations) but sales appear to have bottomed,” according to an RDQ Economics research note. “We look for a modest gain in new home sales and housing starts in 2012 despite the backlog of foreclosures.”

Meanwhile, sales in October were upwardly revised to a rate of 310,000 from an earlier estimate of 307,000. The pace of November sales was up 9.8 percent from same month last year.

By region, sales for November grew by 12.9 percent in the South and by 7.5 percent in the Midwest. Meanwhile, the rate fell 26.3 percent in the Northeast and dropped 16.9 percent in the West.

The median sales price fell to $214,100 in November from $222,600 in October.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio Kills Another Inmate: Footage of Beating

Video Shows Altercation with Combative Inmate: MyFoxPHOENIX.com

Once again, Sheriff Joe’s staff kills another innocent person. Ernest Atencion was booked on December 15th, 2012, but little did he know, this was going to be his last day of life. During his stay at the 4th Avenue Jail in Phoenix, AZ, this innocent man’s life was sadly taken away. He left Sheriff Joe’s jail a dead man with brain damage and on life support leaving his family with no option but to pull the plug.

“Deputies hold Atencio down, his face up against the floor. That’s when you see a detention officer make three forceful movements near what looks like his head. Another officer taps his fellow detention officer on the shoulder and he stops.”

As you can see in the video, his lifeless body was left for 15 minutes before deputies realized he was not breathing. Those blows to the head caused brain damage, which eventually killed him.

Sheriff Joe is a murderer and should be forced to resign. This has happened one too many times and is unacceptable behavior! Sheriff Joe is a RACIAST PIECE OF SHIT!!!

Kardashian’s ex-publicist says wedding was staged

Kim staged the wedding for publicity and money...

by Fashingbauer Cooper – Nov. 10, 2011
MSNBC.com

It will come as no surprise to those who have been watching the Kim Kardashian divorce fallout, but numerous people think her 72-day marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries was done for the cameras, not for love. But it’s a little surprising that one of those people is Kardashian’s own ex-publicist.

Jonathon Jaxson told the New York Post that the reality star “knew weeks before getting married she didn’t want to do it,” and added “She’s never gotten over [ex Reggie Bush].”

Jaxson also said he and Kardashian staged a scene in which she went to a jewelry store and tried to make it look as if Bush was proposing marriage. “It was calculated to a T and then it was leaked to a magazine,” he told the Post. Jaxson claims that Bush wasn’t in on the staging and that such events convinced the football star to break up with Kardashian.

The Post also quotes Jaxson as saying fame was always Kardashian’s goal, and saying that while she herself did not leak her infamous sex tape, she “wasn’t devastated” when it did happen.

He hints that he’s speaking out now because he wasn’t paid, the Post reports, so factor that into his comments however you like.
