UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie is in Pakistan today, highlighting the suffering of millions of flood victims and the need for continuing aid for the displaced.

In a PSA video released August 31, Jolie pleads: “One-fifth of Pakistan is under water… and the threat of disease now looms for 20 million affected people. This is not just a humanitarian crisis, it is an economic and social catastrophe. UNHCR is on the ground. The more support we can give, the greater number of tents, food, clean water and medicine will get to the people in need.”

Jolie is travelling today in Pakistan as the personal envoy of UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres. “It’s clear this crisis is far from over,” Jolie said. “People have lost everything: their homes, their belongings, their crops and cattle, and their livelihoods. Long after the cameras have gone, people will be struggling to rebuild their lives.”

“They are still rebuilding infrastructure from the earthquake of 2005. They continue to have large numbers of IDPs as a result of the conflict in the north, and host 1.7 million Afghan refugees who still need care and refuge as conflict continues in their homeland. And now, of course, the recent flooding and its aftermath already affecting millions and the looming threat of disease,” Jolie continued.

UNHCR has delivered help to almost 750,000 people, but continued flooding in many areas of southern Pakistan is creating new challenges for relief efforts in what has already become one of the most complex humanitarian crises of recent times.

Elizabeth Kitt Of The Bachelor Pad Gets Makeover By Doves Studio

Elizabeth Kitt was first seen on The Bachelor as one of the 25 contestants vying for Jake Pavelka’s heart. 


She was a gorgeous brunette then.  On The Bachelor Pad, we now see her as an equally-beautiful blonde and I for one like both looks on her. Not many women can wear both hair colors equally well.


But Elizabeth has received a makeover from The Dove Studio in Santa Monica, CA and I think she looks more fabulous than ever – so fabulous in fact, that I wanted to share her before and after pictures with you!


Which look do you prefer on Elizabeth? Blonde vs. Brunette?


Here is Elizabeth’s before shot:



And here are pictures of her after she went from a fabulous blonde to a sexy sassy brunette!

Kanye West Goes On a Two-Hour Twitter Rant About Taylor Swift

September 14 will mark the one-year anniversary of Kanye West‘s interruption of Taylor Swift during her award acceptance at the Video Music Awards.

After some apparent self-reflection, Kanye has gone into confessional mode, using Twitter as his booth.

Ove a two-hour period today, Kanye unleashed about 100 Tweets about how the media try to “demonize” him.  As for the regular foks, Kanye Tweets: “People tweeted that they wish I was dead… No listen.  They wanted me to die people. I carry that. I smile and take pictures through that.” As for himself, Kanye Tweets: “If you Google Asshole my face may very well pop up two pages into the search.”

And then, Kanye proceeded to Tweet about Taylor Swift:  “I wrote a song for Taylor Swift that’s so beautiful and I want her to have it. If she won’t take it then I’ll perform it for her.” (Side note: I reported recently that although he has near a million followers, Kanye only follows Justin Bieber on Twitter; well, Kanye now follows two people: Justin and Taylor.)

Kanye moves on to speak about having to grow up:  “When I woke up from the crazy nightmare I looked in the mirror and said GROW UP KANYE … I take the responsibility for my actions … I am not a bad person. Even in that moment I was only trying to do good but people don’t always need my help … Beyonce didn’t need that. MTV didn’t need that and Taylor and her family friends and fans definitely didn’t want or need that.”

Kanye ends his Twitter rant simply with “I’m sorry Taylor.” That was six hours ago. We have not heard a Tweet out of Kanye since.

Here are screen shots of the entire rant! Start with last one and work your way up!

Tenley Molzahn And Kiptyn Locke Come Clean

If you have been watching ABC’s The Bachelor Pad, you know that Tenley Molzahn and Kiptyn Locke have been trying to hide their budding romance so the pair could stay safe from being voted off of the show.

But the couple now confirm their relationship in real life in the new Us Weekly.

WATCH TENLEY’S VIDEO INTERVIEW ABOUT KIPTYN

Kiptyn says of Tenley: “She’s full of positive energy and I love that.”

Tenley returns the favor and says of Kiptyn: “Kiptyn has one of the biggest hearts, and he’s totally genuine.”

They seem like a pretty good match on the show, so, I am hoping the two make it work off of the show as well. Tenley, as you recall, was the girl Jake Pavelka did not pick on The Bachelor.

The pair lives an hour away from each other and  meet “whenever we can make it happen,” Tenley tells Us Weekly. “There’s a lot of snuggling on beaches and just hanging out. We have fun having downtime together.”

Good luck you two. I know a couple of people who know the pair well, and they speak pretty highly of each – so, I wish you two the absolute best.
