Daryl Hannah Arrested During Oil Protest In Front Of White House

Actress Daryl Hannah, who is also a very active environmentalist, was arrested Tuesday (August 30) during a protest against oil pipeline expansion project outside the White House in Washington, DC. The proposed pipeline, known as the Keystone XL pipeline, would run from Canada to the Gulf Coast.


Hannah was arrested along with more than 100 other protestors who sat on the sidewalk in front of the White House and they refused to obey the requests of the police to move away.

"Sometimes it's necessary to sacrifice your freedom for a greater freedom," Hannah said. "And we want to be free from the horrible death and destruction that fossil fuels cause, and have a clean energy future."

Her dedication to the environment have landed her in trouble. In 2006, the 50-year-old Kill Bill actress was arrested for protecting a community garden in LA. She also taken in to custody back in 2009 for protesting mountain top mining in West Virginia.

Sesame Street's Bert and Ernie: Just friends, Not Gay

Sesame Street's Bert and Ernie are just friends and room buddies. Despite inseparable to each other, the two are not gay and expect no wedding plans in the future!

Sesame Workshop finally answered the longtime gay rumor orientation of the two Muppet star. In a statement via the official Sesame Street Facebook page:
"Bert and Ernie are best friends. They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves.

Even though they are identified as male characters and possess many human traits and characteristics (as most Sesame Street Muppets™ do), they remain puppets, and do not have a sexual orientation."
Sesame Street Workshop's statement is a response to the online marriage campaign that Bert & Ernie must tie the knot.

Many are inspired by New York state's recent legalization of gay marriage but it is better that the character image of the two remain. I grew up watching it, like so many other people -- it represents the innocence of two good friends.

During the incident, the 38-year-old Rose is with a female companion and he was driving along an icy roadway when he lost control of his car and crashed. Rose voluntary performed several voluntary sobriety test but he failed and was eventually arrested. He plead guilty back in May.

Jalen Rose's lawyer doesn't agree with the court decision and he called it as an "abuse of discretion."
Attorney Keith Davidson tells TMZ, "The 20-day jail sentence issued today by this Michigan judge is outrageous."
 He adds, "Today we saw a horrendous example of judicial temperament and discretion."
Rose has no prior criminal record and despite pleas for leniency from several prominent figures including Detroit mayor Dave Bing, the Michigan judge still delivered his jail time sentence to Rose.

The said sentenced also includes a year of probation.

It seems the judge used Jalen Rose as her example to drivers not to drink and drive or else!!!.

Morgan Freeman: Not his Voice In Political Ad!

Aside from his great acting talent, Morgan Freeman's distinctive voice makes him different. That's why the 74 year-old actor cried foul over an ad campaign in Wisconsin which attacks Democrat Shelly Moore. He never lend his services especially his voice in this ad.


An ad featuring a voice very similar to Freeman is being used in this campaign. It was released by the group, Citizens for a Strong America.
"A political ad running in Wisconsin by a conservative group narrated by someone trying to sound like Morgan Freeman was not narrated by Mr. Freeman," his rep Stan Rosenfield tells RadarOnline. "Morgan Freeman did NOT narrate that ad."
A dirty propaganda in which a certain group is using the popularity of the veteran actor in destroying the image of their opponent. Very Nasty!

Morgan Freeman must take action to protect his integrity and image.
