Oh my goodness, I have shared this video on my old blog but I thought I’d share it again with you as I came across this video again while surfing on YouTube. Now this video is of this girl, named Lil J, and seriously, I think the girl’s got issues. Don’t you think? What is her problem? I know it is a politically incorrect word to say, but she is retarted! Making a retarted video like that one thing, but talking like she is from the hood is another. Foolish, foolish little girl!

Well, we originally do not have Halloween here in Holland. But the American holiday seems to become more attracting to other countries in the world over the past couple of years. So, with this being said, I want to wish everyone a Happy Halloween. Now go do some trick or treating and get loads of (hard) candy!

Today is a special day, people! Today my site is online for 6 years! Happy 6th anniversary for Leander Online. I want to thank everyone who ever visited my site. It’s not the most popular site. It’s more of a D-List blog. But I am proud to say that since October 2002, the site has been visited over 131400 times! Yes, I do keep track. Wish it was more though, but oh well. Thanks to everyone who gave me nice feedback. Thanks to everyone who finds the time to comment on my blog and leaving messages in my Guestbook. Many, many thanks! To everyone! For reading my blah, blah and blah! I very much appreciate it!

LL Cool J has announced that he is withdrawing from Janet Jackson’s ‘Rock Witchu’ tour.

The rap star said in a statement that he is bowing out of the North American jaunt due to undisclosed “scheduling conflicts,” reports the Associated Press.

This is just one of many troubles that have plagued Jackson’s first US tour in seven years. The pop star was forced to cancel several shows last month due to migraine-associated vertigo for which she was hospitalised, as previously reported.

The singer was forced to reschedule several shows, including one at New York’s Madison Square Garden, which is now set for November 1.

Academy Award winning actress Hillary Swank visited Ellen DeGeneres two days ago and made an Elle styled entrance where she was dancing with the audience. Her impression is dead on! So funny!

Sad! Horrible! Disgusting! It has been on the news and it is such a disgrace. Check out this article from the Washington Times:

Federal agents have broken up a plot by two neo-Nazi skinheads to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 102 black people, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives said Monday.

In court records unsealed Monday, federal agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target a predominantly African-American high school in a murder spree that was to begin in Tennessee. Agents said the skinheads did not identify the school by name.

Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of ATF’s Nashville field office, said the two men planned to shoot 88 black people and decapitate another 14. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community.

The men also sought to go on a national killing spree, with Obama as its final target, Cavanaugh told The Associated Press.

“They said that would be their last, final act _ that they would attempt to kill Sen. Obama,” Cavanaugh said. “They didn’t believe they would be able to do it, but that they would get killed trying.”

An Obama spokeswoman traveling with the senator in Pennsylvania had no immediate comment.

The men, Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., and Paul Schlesselman 18, of West Helena, Ark., are being held without bond. Agents seized a rifle, a sawed-off shotgun and three pistols from the men when they were arrested. Authorities alleged the two men were preparing to break into a gun shop to steal more.

Attorney Joe Byrd, who has been hired to represent Cowart, did not immediately return a call seeking comment Monday.

Cowart and Schlesselman are charged with possessing an unregistered firearm, conspiring to steal firearms from a federally licensed gun dealer, and threatening a candidate for president.

The investigation is continuing, and more charges are possible, Cavanaugh said.

Rumour! First Madonna was coming to Australia. And then she wasn’t coming. Now this morning on Channel Seven’s Sunrise Molly Meldrum confirmed that Madonna is infact bringing her Sticky And Sweet Tour to Australia after all, and it could be as early as January 2009.

According to Sunrise there are two promoters fighting over Madonna right now, and ticket prices are yet to be confirmed. It’s also unknown whether she will bring the entire stage and production elements of the Sticky And Sweet Tour, or if it will be a scaled back version of the show.

Media reported on the last round of negotiations, alleging that Madonna was offered “millions of dollars” to play two stadium gigs in Sydney and Melbourne. Whether the current offers will see her touring to more Australian cities remains to be seen.

Madonna hasn’t toured here since her Girlie Show in November 1993.

As the insults and rumors continue to fly over her ever-more-rancorous split from Guy Ritchie, Madonna sought refuge at the Kabbalah Centre in New York on Friday and Saturday, attending services with kids Lourdes, 12, Rocco, 8, and David, 3. But is she also seeking the religion’s help in keeping her emotions in check?

So claims the London Sun, which says Madonna, 50, is undergoing “intense Kabbalah anger management counseling” to get a handle on her “boiling rage” at Ritchie, 40.

A few of the things said to have her fuming: Her soon-to-ex husband’s supposed money cravings and the mean-spirited marital speculation that’s been splashed all over the tabloids (he’s been accused of calling her a “granny” and a “piece of gristle”; she’s purportedly labeled him a gold digger).

“Madonna is very angry with Guy — about his cold treatment of her in the marriage, about the nasty details of their marriage that have leaked out, and about the money he is demanding,” says a source. “She’s furious that he feels entitled to get a lot of cash, while she’s the one working her ass off on tour.”

Word is, a Kabbalah adviser is tagging along on her Sticky & Sweet tour to make sure her fury doesn’t reach a fever pitch.

The counselor is “helping her try to put aside her anger, so they can settle the divorce as quickly as possible for the sake of the children,” adds the snitch. “The counselor is telling her she will meet her soul mate — but first has to calm her anger.”

But is Madonna doing that with the aid of a shovel and a deep hole?

A source tells Britain’s Sunday Express that the Big M decided to collect all her Ritchie mementos — photos, letters and other keepsakes — into a metal box and bury them.

“Madonna wants to get Guy’s energy out of her life to help her have a more balanced view for the divorce,” explains the mole. “In effect she wants to bury that part of her life and the attachment she had with Ritchie, and this is how she thinks she can do it and move on. It will be a little bit like a funeral as she lays that part of her life to rest.”

An assistant has supposedly been charged with gathering the objects from the estranged couple’s many homes.

“All photographs and letters will be digitally scanned and stored on a computer memory stick,” continues the spy. “There are lists of what she wants collected, which will be checked off against the box’s contents.”

Adds the insider, “She and Guy have both shed tears over the end of their marriage, but things have turned nasty and that is not what Madonna wants. She is trying hard to stay calm and civilized. She is being very philosophical about it, but she is also adamant that Guy will not get a huge settlement. She does not think he needs it.”

Ritchie remains gainfully employed at the moment as the director of “Sherlock Holmes,” and on Thursday night he put on a happy face as he hit a London gallery with stars Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law for an artist pal’s exhibition.

“Guy was in great form, hanging out with friends having a good time,” an eyewitness tells People. “He seemed quite merry and had his arms around lots of people and smiling. … I think the distraction is just what he needed, especially the way he was smiling.”

Meanwhile, whispers continue over Madonna and Guy’s together-time — or lack thereof. On the heels of claims that they once went 18 months with no nookie, the London Daily Mail purports that their intimate encounters were scheduled “weeks in advance.”

“With her time being so precious to her, and with there being more important things to her, like spending three of four hours in the gym every day, it became just another thing in the [calendar],” snipes a confidant. “In the last couple of years, it was all schemed into the [calendar].”

Ritchie, says the source, “felt this a tremendous turnoff to be at the same level of importance as, for example, her gym sessions and Kabbalah meetings. As a consequence, their sex life died more than a year ago. It is no exaggeration to say that they had not shared a bed in a year when the divorce was announced. And when the sex died for them, the marriage was doomed.”

Oprah, Gayle King, Mark Consuelos and Ali Wentworth talking about Madonna’s divorce and Mark experiencing Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet Tour with wife Kelly Ripa.

… Well not exactly! I have seen the latest episode of Ugly Betty and there was this scene with Justin, Betty’s nephew, doing a little dance rehearsal and he is wearing a Madonna t-shirt. How cool is that. I would love that t-shirt! I know that Urban Outfitters used to sell it. Oh well, maybe someday I’ll get my hands on it.
