The Sun reports the lovely ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY isn't giving up the day job despite landing her Transformers 3 movie gig.

The British model is still posing in her undercrackers for Victoria's Secret.


It's a wise move considering the flick – which opens this summer – has yet to be reviewed.

If it bombs and wrecks her modelling career, she'll always be welcome down Easter Road to model the new Hibs kit.

CNN reports the 1940s and '50s movie bombshell, whose name was synonymous with voluptuousness, died Monday morning at her home in Santa Maria, California, her family said. Jane Russell was 89.

Daughter-in-law Etta Waterfield said that Russell was a "pillar of health" but caught a bad cold and died of respiratory difficulties.

Russell's children, Thomas K. Waterfield, Tracy Foundas and Robert "Buck" Waterfield," were at her side, Etta Waterfield said.

Eccentric philanthropist and movie producer Howard Hughes was the first to put Jane Russell on the silver screen, signing her to a seven-year contract in 1940 and promptly putting her in his production of "The Outlaw," a film about a torrid romance between Billy the Kid and woman named Rio (Russell).

The film got only limited release -- in 1943 -- because censors at the time were skittish about the attention given Russell's figure. Hughes wasn't satisfied. He pulled the film from release and kept it out of circulation for six more years while he did more reshoots and re-editing.
And, Hughes kept Russell off the screen -- her only other appearance during those seven years was in "The Young Widow" (1946), shot while she was on loan to United Artists.

Hughes' extensive publicity campaign for "The Outlaw," however -- she has said that he had her making appearances five days a week for five years -- made Russell popular during World War II as a pin-up, and when the movie was finally released in 1946, she was a star.

While Hughes fetishized Russell's body in other films after her initial contract ended and the two negotiated another, the actress quietly made a name for herself as a talented actress capable of high drama or light comedy. She appeared as Calamity Jane with Bob Hope in "The Paleface" (1948) -- another loan-out -- and a sequel, "Son of Paleface," in 1952 -- earning an Oscar nomination for the song "Am I in Love?"

Robert Mitchum was her co-star twice -- in 1951's "His Kind of Woman" and 1952's "Macao." She shared the screen with Frank Sinatra and Groucho Marx in 1951's "Double Dynamite," and with Victor Mature, Vincent Price and Hoagy Carmichael in "The Las Vegas Story" (1952).

But it was 1953's "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" with Marilyn Monroe that shot Russell into the stratosphere. She was hailed for her singing and comedic acting, and just two years later made her last film for Hughes.

Russell had some success as a singer in the 1940s, appearing with the Kay Kayser Orchestra, and in 1954 she and Beryl Davis, Connie Haines and Della Russell (later replaced by Rhonda Fleming) began recording religious-themed music and touring as The Four Girls.

Once again true journalism occurs overseas.

Ted Kennedy, one of the worst drunkards in the history of the U.S. who literally got away with murder at Chappaquiddick and benefited from the same state run media that continues to white wash the incompetent that sits in the White House, has another peccadillo that has come to light.

The Daily Mail reports that the late U.S. senator Ted Kennedy has been accused of renting an entire Chilean brothel and seeking meetings with communists who had left-wing views.

The information came to light after a Freedom of Information request by Judicial Watch - the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption - who put pressure on the FBI to release the material.

Their file on the late senator, who died from brain cancer in August 2009, was released but contained a large amount of blacked out information - until now.

The statements previously withheld include accusations that during a tour of several Latin American countries he 'made arrangements to "rent" a brothel for an entire night, allegedly inviting one of the Embassy's chauffeurs to participate in the night's activities'.

In each country he visited he was also said to have 'insisted on interviewing "the angry young men" of the country as well as Communists who had extreme left-wing views'.

When he was in Mexico, it is said that his request to have certain left-wingers - one of whom was later linked with a Soviet spy ring - was refused as he was warned not to associate himself with such people.

Melissa forgot she was being watched by 1 billion people world wide

Wow, is this really news considering Trumka and Obama practically share the same underwear? Here’s Trunk admitting he visits the White House two to three times a week, more than Obama’s own cabinet secretaries.



Truaka is part of Obama’s shadow cabinet. That’s what happens when the AFL-CIO raises millions for Obama’s run for president and Obama returns the favor by giving the union millions of dollars back in Stimulus money. The president is a shill for the unions and the rest of the taxpaying public pays for this mutual masturbation sessions.

It’s time to smell the coffee, folks!

That’s unless of course if the union doesn’t go on strike delivering it to your local store or diner.

The Hill reports that AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka gave his blessing Sunday to President Obama's handling of the labor standoff in Wisconsin. Amid some criticism on the left that Obama could do more to boost unions in their demonstrations against Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, and his proposal to eliminate most collective bargaining rights for public workers, Trumka said the president was doing just fine. "I think he's doing it the right way," Trumka said on NBC's "Meet the Press." A growing number of Democrats have pressed Obama to take more of a leading role in the labor dispute. Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), a co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, last week called for Obama to head to Wisconsin.

Here’s Trunka parroting Obama propaganda of class warfare and more big government spending. When he mentions fighting for working families, translation, let’s really screw the taxpayers dry to pay for our bloated benefit packages that private industry employees wish they had.

Suckers!

I consider myself a film buff and I have to say that the quality of movies coming out of Hollywood since 2005 have been a joke. It’s been a never ending succession of films about comic book heroes and sequel after sequel.

What ever happened to films based on great novels or just an original screenplay for a change?

Just last week I looked up 8 flicks at my local multiplex and couldn’t find near one movie I had the least bit interest in seeing. That’s how bad the garbage is that Hollywood id putting out.

I remember come Oscar time, most of the 5 movies nominated were really great films. Today, you’ll lucky to find one in a field of ten.

It’s a sad commentary on an industry that has sunken to its lowest depths.

Be ashamed, Hollywood, be very ashamed!

My futile attempt to distract a billion viewers away from The Oscars.

Hi my name is Samuel Gonzalez. If this is you’re first time visiting The Last Tradition I hope you come again, for the articles I mean.

TLT is a conservative political blog. Not all conservatives are the same but we all believe in limited government, free markets, freedom of the individual, traditional values and a strong national defense.




I like to have fun and have been known to be very politically incorrect. On the other hand, Liberals who like to call themselves Progressives use PC to hide their true objectives. This blog, along with my friends Another Black Conservative and Left Coast Rebel are the places to go to get the truth.

But, we like pretty girls too.

CBS News reports that Girl Scouts all over the US have started selling cookies door-to-door, outside of grocery stores and on street corners - little did they know they could possibly be cited for peddling.

According to a troop leader, a group of Georgia Girl Scouts thought they were headed to jail when a police officer asked them for their peddler's permit to sell cookies outside of their local strip mall in Villa Rica, 30 miles outside of Atlanta, on Wednesday.

When they weren't able to show a permit, the officer told them to pack it up. Troop leader Kathy Crook told local station WXIA-TV in Atlanta that she was stunned.

Here’s another film that should’ve won Best Picture.

This 2003 movie directed and starring Kevin Costner and Robert Duval is a tale of friendship, love, and the pursuit of justice in a crooked world.

The National Enquirer reports that politico prankster JON STEWART pushes the envelope with spoof Twitter account @gayobama detonating the social networking platform as the internet implodes with controversy.He's "half-black, half-white, and all SAMANTHA!" as Twitter overnight sensation, @gayobama, amassed thousands of followers after Jon Stewrat proclaimed it to the world on his Comedy Central Daily Show last night.

Stewart quipped on the show, "The President's stand against gay marriage has long frustrated gay Obama followers."Stewart was reffing President Obama's decision earlier that the Justice Department would no longer enforce the Defense of Marriage Act from1996.

Steward quickly clarified, "By which I mean, gay Democrats, not followers of GayObama, my parody Twitter feed."Within minutes the page went from zero to over 3,000 followers, as Stewart predicted it would.Meanwhile, President Obama has yet to Tweet comment.

Mets fans, like me, don’t care much about Fred Wilpon’s financial problems.



We want to see a winner on the field!



So, if the Mets can’t be run like a big market New York team should, it’s time for the Wilpons to sell the team and ride off into the sunset

The New York Post reports that Major League Baseball loaned the Mets more than $20 million in November in a bid to shore up the cash-strapped team, sources told The Post.

"We did receive a loan from Major League Baseball in November," the Mets said in a statement. "Beyond that, we will not discuss the matter any further."

The team’s principal owner, Fred Wilpon, and his partners are scrambling to line up an investor to purchase as much as 25 percent of the team in the wake of a lawsuit brought by the bankruptcy trustee charged with clawing back billions for victims of Bernie Madoff.

The trustee, Irving Picard, has sued the team for as much as $1 billion, alleging Wilpon and his partners knew — or should have known — about Madoff’s massive Ponzi scheme.

Fred Wilpon and his son Jeff have insisted they will maintain majority ownership of the Mets despite the suit, although a financial adviser to the team recently said they would consider selling a bigger stake.

The November loan from the MLB suggests the team was experiencing a cash crunch before Picard’s suit against them became public

There’s nothing like a little union goonery to get the blood flowing.

Keep in mind, this is the core of Obama’s base of support.

From Michelle Malkin

The hits keep on coming. Here’s another fine specimen of Big Labor civility:

At AFSCME’s “solidarity” rally in Providence, Rhode Island on Tuesday, a cameraman was accosted by a fuming pro-union protester. The cameraman had his back to the goon, who appears to accost him unprovoked. The goon screams:

“I’ll f**k you in the ass, you faggot!”

His shouting escalates and other union supporters try to intervene as he threatened the cameraman, but he continues to foam at the mouth.

The “solidarity” mob finally starts chanting “Hey, hey, ho, ho, union-busting’s got to go” to drown out the goon’s snit fit. He yells that he will “follow you out of here.”

The eruption starts at 7:32 in this video.



The cameraman who was accosted in the video is Adam Cole. He works for “We the People of Rhode Island,” a public access TV show in Rhode Island. Another witness and citizen journalist at the rally who had a video camera, Randy Swanson of Oathkeepers-Rhode Island, filmed the confrontation. Swanson tells me that criminal charges against the union supporter are pending — and that Providence Capitol Police, Providence Police Department and Rhode Island State Police are investigating other incidents that also occurred that day involving belligerent union supporters.

Remember: “Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary.” It’s the union way.

By the way: Mainstream media coverage of the Providence union grievance convergence neglected to mention the profanity-spewing pro-union protester’s outburst.
Surprise, surprise.

Rush Limbaugh was brilliant today on his radio when he rightly pointed out an unholy alliance between the Democrat Party and public sector unions.

Taxes are the sole revenue source cities, states and the feds collect to pay public sector union employees. However, with that taxpayer money, unions also double dips and collect union dues from each worker that winds up in the coffers of Democrat candidates running for public office.

When these Democrats get into office, they negotiate very generous benefit packages with the same unions (return the favor for the campaign money) and it’s the taxpayers that funds this quid pro quo system that is detrimental fiscal stability of states that could no longer sustain the spending.

What Democrats fear most is the end of the gravy train money supplied by union dues.

Don’t believe the smokescreen put out by the Left as this being a battle for workers rights or an assault on the unions, or the middle class.

It’s the unions that are already assaulting the middle class through higher and higher taxes to feed the never ending appetite for bigger and bigger government.

It’s the taxpayers that are the true bosses here. And they are saying enough is enough!

“The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb.” That’s according to a new SoHo board placed by Life Always(tm). The billboard is about half a mile from one of three New York City Planned Parenthood abortion facilities which jointly reported nearly 17,000 abortions in 2010.

“During Black History Month, we celebrate our history, but our future is in jeopardy as a genocidal plot is carried out through abortion,” said Life Always Board Member Pastor Stephen Broden.

“We have seen the heartbreaking effects of opportunists who happen to be black abortionists perpetrating this atrocity; it’s not just babies who are in danger, it’s also their mothers, and our society at large,” he added.

The campaign launch is designed to raise public awareness of Planned Parenthood’s targeting of minority neighborhoods. It comes just weeks after the city health department’s annual Vital Statistics Report revealed a 41 percent abortion rate – nearly twice the national average. Planned Parenthood’s annual report states that they perform 300,000+ abortions annually.

“This campaign highlights the tragedy that abortion is the number one killer since 1973 in the black community and the truth that we must confront in a city with a near 60 percent abortion rate for black women,” said Life Always Board Member Rev. Derek McCoy.

As they say in the ‘hood, “That’s troof yo ass!”

Unfortunately, this message won’t make a dent with some Black folks because they’re too beholden to the very Liberals who are killing them.

Jesus Christ himself could present this billboard on the Great Lawn at Central Park, and Black people will accuse him of being a damn liar who works for Fox News. That’s how strong the ‘group think’ is in the Black community.

And Liberals know it and continue to feed upon it. All they have to do is dispatch Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton to lead them by the nose and tell them how they're supposed to think.

But, I believe that one day the truth shall overcome!

I wouldn’t believe anything these Somali thugs had to say, even if they said water was wet.

I think these pirates need to pay a heavy price for the taking of American lives. Making statements condemning the murders and leaving it at that without consequences to follow make us look very weak.

Somebody needs to get a serious foot up their ass!

The Daily Mail reports that the U.S. military today reacted with fury after the pirates who killed four Americans claimed the Navy shot at them first.

Jean and Scott Adam, from California, were killed alongside Phyllis Macay and Bob Riggle from Seattle, Washington, in the early hours of today.

U.S. Navy officials had been negotiating with the pirates when, without warning, the bandits fired a rocket-propelled grenade at their warship.

Held captive: Scott and Jean Adam, owners of the the Quest, were shot dead by pirates who hijacked their boat on Friday. The U.S. Navy had been in negotiations with their captors

The grenade missed the USS Sterett, which was 600 yards from the hijacked yacht, the Quest.

Immediately afterwards, at around at around 9am local time (3am ET) gunfire erupted inside the cabin of the Quest, the Navy said.

Several pirates then moved onto deck with the hands in the air - as if to surrender - as a rescue force of 15 Navy Seals rushed onboard. The pirates began shooting at the Seals, and in the ensuing battle, two of the bandits were killed.

All four hostages had already been shot.

Today, however, pirate sources in touch with news agencies disputed the Navy's version of events.
Two Somali pirates spoke with Reuters by telephone, claiming the murders had been their response to a U.S. attack.

'Our colleagues called us this morning (saying) that they were being attacked by a U.S. warship,' said a pirate who identified himself as Muhammad.

'The U.S. warship shot in the head two of my comrades who were on the deck of the yacht by the time they alerted us,' he said. 'This is the time we ordered the other comrades inside the yacht to react - kill the four Americans because there was no other alternative - then our line got cut.'

But Lieutenant-Commander Bill Speaks, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command, said: 'This is absolute nonsense. It is false.'
The Navy Seals captured and detained 13 pirates.

The remains of two other pirates who had been dead for some time were also found. They appeared to have been killed by their fellow pirates, the military said.

President Obama, who was notified about the deaths at 4.42am Washington time, had authorised the military on Saturday to use force in case of an imminent threat to the hostages, White House spokesman Jay Carney said.

'We express our deepest condolences for the innocent lives callously lost aboard the Quest,' said Gen. James N. Mattis, U.S. Central Command Commander.

I’m hoping the Obama administration gets more aggressive with this pirate situation.

Can anybody explain what’s so special about these Wisconsin teacher if they suck at teaching kidss?

Doesn’t it make any other debate about workers rights and all that other balaoney a moot point if these teachers are not getting the job done?

Teachers union always love to argue it’s about the kids. But, if the kids can’t read, then something is not working. Fire the lot of them! A new bunch of hungry teachers fresh off the unempolment rolls can’t do much worse.

CNS News reports that two-thirds of the eighth graders in Wisconsin public schools cannot read proficiently according to the U.S. Department of Education, despite the fact that Wisconsin spends more per pupil in its public schools than any other state in the Midwest.

In the National Assessment of Educational Progress tests administered by the U.S. Department of Education in 2009—the latest year available—only 32 percent of Wisconsin public-school eighth graders earned a “proficient” rating while another 2 percent earned an “advanced” rating. The other 66 percent of Wisconsin public-school eighth graders earned ratings below “proficient,” including 44 percent who earned a rating of “basic” and 22 percent who earned a rating of “below basic.”

Here’s a factoid state-run media will never bring to the attention of the American people.

Rejection is a bitch!

The New York Post reports this wasn't the sort of "change" President Obama had in mind during his 2008 campaign.

Since Obama's election, the number of states classified as "solid Democratic" has plummeted from 30 to just 14, a Gallup analysis of voter data revealed yesterday.

The analysis of voter shifts reveals a nation that has undergone a political sea change in just two years, with the number of states representing political battlegrounds going from 10 in 2008 to 18 late last year -- and states that "lean Republican" or are "solid Republican" doubling from five to 10.

Every state showed a drop in Democratic support.
