Ok, so everyone is pretty much up to date with the whole Tiger Woods situation – and I’m sure you all watched his “apology” speech. As soon as he said “I’m… So… Sorry…” whilst looking dead into the camera, I just didn’t buy it. He was either acting as if he didn’t give a toss, or he really didn’t…

Regardless, British footballer Ashley Cole has found himself in a similar pot of hot water. His wife, Cheryl Cole, has left him as it emerged he’d been texting pics of his naughty bits to women and apparently had been “seeing” 5 other women.. Bloody horrible behaviour. Of course he is blaming his wife for not paying him enough attention. That’s a good argument isn’t it.. “You were ignoring me Misses.. so i texted pictures of my genitalia to all the women in my phone book”… Yuck, Ashley. Sexting is not cool!

A lot of people – men especially – are saying that women everywhere are slagging off Ashley Cole and Tiger Woods, but if one of these guys put the moves on them, they would be all over it. I think that’s a big giant load of rubbish. Wallet size really doesn’t play into it – unless the girl in question is only after money or to get their face in the dirty tabloids or glossy mags.. Aside from that, the state of the girls that they cheated with pretty much sums it up – madams, “dancers, etc, etc..

It’s a mess when people get famous for dating famous people. In a month or two, one of these Ashley Cole “piece-on-the-side” women will probably be some sort of D-list celebrity.

I think it’s especially easy in a tiny country like the UK to become famous like this – think Alex Reid.. Having a few pics in the glossy mags makes you famous. Like it’s so sad how some girls aspire to be a WAG.. It’s awful. But that being said, Victoria Beckham does a good job at juggling everything that she does. And the Beckhams have had their share of scandalous tabloid headlines.. And they’ve managed to come out of it – as a couple – in one piece.

I guess the good part is that the Cole’s didn’t have any babies yet.. It’s bad enough when their mothers are getting involved, trying to calm the waters. But it’s even worse when there are little ones that are caught in the middle. If Cole is a lyin’, cheatin’ ****, then Cheryl is good to be rid of him.

Disney has been jumping all over the whole “including all different races” thing in their movies. They had to make a big song and dance about their new movie The Princess & The Frog with the “Black Princess”, but when you make a big deal out of something, you open yourself up to some MAJOR criticism. Disney, unfortunately, can never get it right. There’s too much racism; too many sexual connotations. But kids don’t pick up on that – they don’t watch the Lion King and see boobs in the sky or whatever the controversial scene was! Only overbearing parents with nothing to do between PTA meetings make these stupid claims.

Apparently in the Princess & The Frog, the princess’ hair is too “white” because she doesn’t have “black person” hair, and the characters’ voices are racist. Isn’t this like a curly red headed person saying that Ariel from The Little Mermaid didn’t have big curly red hair, but straight hair.. Therefore Disney is saying that only red headed people with straight hair are beautiful. Therefore all red headed people with big curly hair should go out and buy straighteners immediately. And with Mulan, are they saying that most Asian girls could (with merely a costume change) be passed off as a boy?! OH MY GOD, Disney is blatantly telling Asian girls that they look like boys! I mean, come on!

People are crazy. I’ve read on multiple sites that people are taking the Tiger Woods cheating thing to be a racial matter – because… wait for it… he’s a black man!!! Give me a break! Isn’t Tiger Woods part Dutch, Chinese, Native American, Thai and about 4 other things?! So what, does that automatically make Chinese people womanizing man-whores?! Of course it doesn’t – I forgot, his skin is darker than a Chinese persons’ and Chinese people are supposed to be accountants or play violins – not be golfers. Race and over generalised assumptions do not make the person.. And whether we like it or not, people cheat – regardless of their ancestry.

It really bothers me when people make stuff out of nothing though. Our race does not define us. And what is race but a person’s skin colour… Think of all the Asian people who don’t live in South East Asia, but in North America. Many of them don’t speak their mother tongue, don’t eat crazy Asian food, or play an Asian instrument. They speak the hip slang, eat McDonalds, play guitars and hockey and date non-Asian people. Does it make their parents sad? Probably.. But that’s life. We live in this multicultural world and have to see the best of it. Chinese people in China have probably never heard of Perogies, Poutine or Latkes: Polish, Quebecois and Jewish cuisine (!) – all from the humble potato. I believe that we have to remember where our ancestors came from, but also that we must learn from all the diversity around us!

Wow, so I didn’t post that much this week, but the stuff I did post is pretty intense!

There is Nokia’s Morph Concept cell phone. Pretty crazy technology.. Are you into it? Would you want one? Is technology going a bit too far? What do you think? Check out the video here.

You can go after your cheating spouse’s lover by claiming Alienation of Affection. Works best if the extra-marital person is loaded…

Obviously the most logical article to follow that would be one on Tiger Woods and his extra-marital activities. Do you think the media coverage is fair? What’s your view on the Tiger Woods situation? For those of you who are interested, Tiger Woods has issued an apology on his website. Check out the story here with his apology.

Christmas is right around the corner. Guys, do you want to be on her ‘nice’ list this year?? Here are some stellar gift ideas for the special girl in your life!

Finally, Michelle Dugger (from TLC’s 18 Kids and Counting) has given birth to her 19th child – a little girl named Josie Brooklyn. Do you think they will have more babies? And how many violins do you see in the picture!?

Alrighty, so I hope you all have a great weekend! Those of you in eastern Canada, enjoy the snow!

Lots of love,
