PHOTOS LeAnn Rimes plays bikini bocce ball, Eddie Cibrian plays grabass
ByAsa Hawks January 7, 2012October 23, 2013

Singer LeAnn Rimes has been putting on quite the bikini fashion show over the last few days as she vacations in Hawaii with hubby Eddie Cibrian. In the latest installment of LeAnn’s “Bikinithon 2012” she is photographed toting a couple frosty brews, playing a rather suggestive game of bocce ball, and allowing Eddie a PG-13 feel up of her slightly more ample badonkadonk.

UPDATE – We had a number of commenters claiming that they could see the planet between Saturn and Neptune in the pics (in other words, a LeAnnus) so I had to censor the photos. But, if you’re feeling like Galileo and want to go looking for planets you can click on the edited picture for originals.

ByAsa Hawks January 7, 2012October 23, 2013

When The House of Representatives meet on January 24 they will be served with a heaping helping of hot potato in the form of the SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) bill. The legislation is aimed at cracking down on copyright infringement and has ruffled the feathers of a coalition of internet giants such as Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, Twitter, Wikipedia, eBay, and more. The coalition is reportedly considering a “nuclear option” that would mean a synchronized shut down that would bring the internet to a virtual halt.

Jersey Shore’s “The Unit” facing 3-5 years for having date rape drug Ketamine
ByAsa Hawks January 6, 2012October 23, 2013

It appears as though Jersey Shore‘s curly-headed walking six-pack known as “The Unit” is in a bit of a “situation.” The Unit (real name Jonathan “Jonny” Manfre, 32) was arrested back in July when Seaside Heights Police found him in possession of a white powdery substance that turned out to be Ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic sometimes used as a date rape drug. He has since been charged with felony drug possession and faces 3-5 years behind bars if convicted.
