Omar Bhatti (also spelt Omer Bhatti on some sites) the 25 year old aspiring rapper from Norway is in the news these days because of his links with Michael Jackson, who passed away last month. Bhatti is being billed as Michael Jackson’s biological son, a love child, although it is not yet clear how. Bhatti himself is reportedly not sure, as he is trying to get a DNA test to verify it, according to this report from NY Daily News. Omer, rumored to be the result of a one-night stand Jackson had with his mom, Pia Bhatti, is reportedly seeking a DNA test to find out. Read more:

Update 15 minutes after posting:
False alarm! Savita Bhabhi is not actually, really, DEAD — it is just that her Indian visa seems to have been revoked. She is very much alive (or reincarnated?) in the US, and the site even provides an alternative URL http://savitabhabhifree.blogspot.com/, which I have not verified yet. I think it will be quite hard for Indian government to keep banning blogspot, won’t it? The reason for my assumption that she was completely dead was the Huffington Post article I quoted below, and the fact that I was entering a wrongly spelt URL savitabhabi.com, missing the second h. My originally written post follows nevertheless.

Top Keyword on this site: Erin AndrewsI can’t believe “Erin Andrews Video Peep” is still on the top of Google Trends in the US. Its hotness is still “volcanic” on Google-Trends hotness range. It has been moving up and down between first and fourth positions over last three days, and I think it is disgusting. How can so many people be after a peepshow, when there is otherwise so much porn over the internet? In my defense, I have not been looking for the video, but I have been checking Google trends, and also the webstats for my last post on the subject, and I am enjoying it. At both places, Erin Andrews Video Peep is the top search query. I have been clicking on some top results on the Google Trends page, and I did stumble upon stills from the peep show on nypost.com. If that is what you came here looking for, here is the link: ESPN Hottie Erin Andrews in Peep Shocker Read the rest of this entry »

According to reports circulating on the Internet today, another prominent sportsman seems to be in legal trouble. This looks very much like the case of Kobe Bryant (the LA Lakers basketball star) that made headlines a few years ago. This time, Ben Roethlisberger, star quarterback of the Pittsburgh football team, Steelers, has been accused of a sexual assault by Andrea McNulty, an employee of Harrah’s Casino. Interestingly, the incident has allegedly occured a year ago, so questions are being raised about the timing and nature of the case. There is no criminal case filed at this time, just a civil lawsuit.
