| Clinton campaign starts 5-point attack on Obama
I don't want it to become a situation where the candidates lose supporters if one or the other don't get the nomination. Because, I'm a democrat and I believe we should work together to win the race against the republican candidates. I understand there are differences in the candidates and that's why we must vote, but don't let a loss of one candidate prevent giving the support to the winning democratic candidate because it's only going to hurt us, the democrats. I support Obama's call for change and believe in him. I have news of Hillary's financial irresponsibility and don't think she'd make a great leader due to the fact that we need someone who in financially stable. There are many other reasons why I feel that Barack Obama is a better candidate. Nevertheless, we as democrats need to vote to help choose the best democrat for President.

Britney Spears A Spaced Odyssey, As Told By Sam Lutfi
UsWeekly is in conversation with Osama Lutfi, manager and confident to Britney Spears. Says he: "The British accent is part of the mania. She'll stick to the British accent because she becomes comfortable with it… But you know, when the pink wig comes on, it's getting bad." The correct wig to accompany a British accent is, naturally, a red , white a blue one, or something by Man At Elton John. Lutfi then says how he gave Britney "a handful of sleeping pills" before she was sent to the hospital. He told her: "I said these pills are working wonders, they are miracle pills." If you take them all, the miracle is that you ever wake up again. Or else pink angels descend on strings of strawberry liquorice. Tis miraculous. The ambulance is here now, Britney.
