HOTTY
Bryan Jobity 20, Marabella Three things about yourself that you like and why? I like my tattoos because they make me unique and help promote my individualistic spirit. I am very good at sports and enjoy the effort and the result - helping me make the national cycling team. I am able to inspire many people who interact with me to do more or better. What is your OMG moment? Well, my OMG moment happened just a few days ago when I and some teammates were cycling in San Fernando. This car ran into us and my bike hooked up into the car with me on it and I was pulled for several feet. My bike was totally destroyed. I was unconscious for a while, got several bruises and skin peels about my body. Yet I was still able to make this photo shoot… OMG, Photoshop to the rescue…lol!! Lighting/Retouching

Always feel lonely
I get very lonely very quickly.
Even if I had friends over one day the next day I’m depressed if I have nothing to do and no one to hang out with. I’ll text a friend and ask them to hang out and if they don’t reply rather quickly (in less than an hour) then, instead of viewing it as them being busy or not seeing the text yet or whatever, my brain automatically goes to, “they don’t want to hang out with me or don’t really like me all that much and are ignoring me”. I hate this feeling. I hate feeling unwanted and alone even if I’m not. I can’t seem to shake it.
I am going out with and telling this girl that I like her.. When I actually don't. It's only to get my mind off of who I truly want and can't get... God, I feel like an asshole but I was desperate and couldn’t think of what else to do. The girl I’m in love with has a boyfriend and I get crazy jealous because of that… I’m not a psycho but this is just how I dealt with it. I know it’s wrong but now I feel bad about breaking up with the current girl I’m dating.
close to people to then drop all
communication
with them
I don’t know why I keep doing this but I found out it’s a pattern I keep repeating. I will become friends with someone, really get to know them and talk to them a lot, then when they need me the most (like when they start telling me their problems) I just drop them. Almost completely stop talking to them. Not because I don’t like them or don’t like hearing about their problems but because I’m honestly bored of them. And I know I shouldn’t do it and I kind of want to stop but it keeps happening. I just get bored of people and leave them at the peak of a friendship. I’m an a-hole I know.
I told my friend to leave me alone because I can't stand dealing with his depression I didn’t phrase it that way when I told him, but that’s the reason I don’t want to be around him anymore. I got fed up with his constant insecurity regarding our friendship and the whiplash I get from his telling me I shouldn’t care about him and his telling me it hurts that I don’t feel the same way about him (I’m female, and he’s half in love with me). I don’t feel that sad over what I’ve done. This makes me feel like a horrible person. I’m being selfish. He needs support, and I’m tearing my support out from under his feet because I honestly cannot stand being around him anymore.
I’m so fat.. I'm 5'11, I weigh 220lbs According to my BMI I am obese. I should weigh about 160-180 lbs. I’ve always wanted to lose weight but it’s so hard. I’ve dieted, eating 1,200 cals per day, worked out 3-5 times a week, yet I still can’t lose weight. :(.

Making that connection work Step 1
Decide to love. Infatuation is typically what sparks loving relationships. Then the excitement fades and warm feelings diminish unless both partners make conscious efforts to renew their feelings for one another.
Step 2
Be romantic. Romance is essential to have at least some of the time. Candles, candlelight, compliments, stargazing, watching the stars, sunset or sunrise, fireworks, romantic bubble baths, showers, and romantic dinners are good ideas. Inject a little romance into some of the things you do and some of the places you go.
Step 3
Show your love. Hold hands, kiss, hug, cuddle, snuggle, or wrap arms around shoulders or waists. Become close and really comfortable with each other physically and emotionally. Share every part of yourself (your heart, mind, and soul), not just your body.
Step 4
Settle disputes peacefully. Apologise, forgive, and make up with each other. If you threaten to break up with each other after every fight or argument, you will never really resolve anything. Take breaking up off the table. Talk through
disagreements as long or as many times as it takes until the issue is resolved and both of you feel comfortable moving forward.
Step 5
Keep most things private between you two. When your partner shares with you and confides in you (emotionally and physically), especially when they share something about another person, resist the urge to disclose sensitive details to anyone without permission. You should treat it as something special, personal and private between you two, out of respect for your partner. A relationship is between two people — you and your partner, not anyone else. Don't involve others in intimate matters, however close you may feel to them.
Step 6
Remember that intensity of emotion can ebb and flow over the years. There may be times when you are less aware of your love, more into your own interests, perhaps even more selfish. Those are the times to remember all the wonderful things you have done together, and still want to do. It's natural for your feelings about your partner to change over the course of the relationship. After a couple years, infatuation takes a back seat to faithfulness and trust. This doesn't mean that you're not in love anymore; it just means that your love has matured.
Communicating effectively in a relationship Step 1
Communicate about anything and everything. Have deep and meaningful conversations once in a while. Discuss what's going on in your lives right now — social life, school life, or family life — and learn about each other’s pasts and childhoods.
Step 2
Make continual efforts to maintain your relationship. Work on it. Work hard at keeping it positive, upbeat, healthy, and the very best it can be. Have a conversation with your partner about what aspects of your relationship they believe could change for the better. Improve the things you both agree can be improved. Challenge yourself to do at least one nice thing for your partner every single day. It could be a simple text, an errand, a smile, or a kiss.
Step 3
Don't scream at each other. Nothing gets solved by screaming at someone else. It just raises the tension between you and more than likely will create more issues than it solves. Things are best handled if each person gets a chance to talk. This means you listen to what your spouse has to say and respond with your feelings as they listen. If you are being screamed at, calmly let the person know that screaming isn’t helping and ask if they will also please listen to your perspective.
Step 4
Be completely honest with each other. A truly emotionally intimate relationship requires open and honest communication. Keeping secrets from your partner creates a barrier between you that limits your mutual emotional trust. Honesty can be scary, but if you want your relationship to thrive, then you both need to believe in it.
Step 5
Cooperate. If you don't agree on something exactly then there is probably another option. Look for different solutions that you can both see eye to eye on. There are many ways to do something but if we cooperate with each other it will end in the best result for the individuals involved and probably get things done faster.

HOW
TO’S
Making amends
with someone you've vomited on
Losing your lunch on someone can’t be fixed with a simple “Oops!” Here’s how to make things right. STEP 1 - Give them the shirt off your back
note and a small gift to really show your remorse. If money is tight, do them a favour instead.
STEP 2 - Clean up the mess
Tip – Treat them to a professional car cleaning if you threw up in their vehicle.
Yes, literally. If your vomiting left their top a stinky mess and yours untouched, give them your shirt.
Remove any vomit that landed beyond their person. They shouldn’t have to deal with the collateral splatter.
STEP 3 - Pay all necessary bills
Deal with expenses like dry cleaning or rug cleaning, for example. And don’t just offer to pay. Do it.
STEP 4 - Apologise
Say sorry immediately – and profusely. Afterward, send a
STEP 5 - Don’t joke about it
Never ever joke about the incident. Trust us: the memory of you puking on them may be funny to you, but it will never be funny to them.
How to stop laughing in inappropriate
situations There are times when laughter is not called for. Because your charm may not be enough to save you, try some other ways to stop the laughter. STEP 1 - Know what is inappropriate
Know when it is inappropriate to laugh. If you are unsure, ask your mother or someone you can trust.
STEP 2 - Check others
Check out others in the room to see if they share your impulse. If they don’t, divert your attention quickly by starting another conversation.
STEP 3 - Think of sad things
Think negative or sad thoughts to dampen your mood. It’s usually tension that precedes outbreaks of inappropriate laughter.
STEP 4 - Inflict pain
Pinch yourself or bite the inside of your mouth or your lip to contain yourself. Physical pain can quell laughter.
STEP 5 - Disguise your reaction
Fake a coughing fit or use your hand to cover your grin. This allows you to leave the room and compose yourself.
STEP 6 - Let out air
Clamp a hand over your mouth and exhale quickly to rob the laugh of fuel. If caught, apologise without trying to explain, which may add insult to injury.
Tip – A laugh can appear to be a crying fit if you are at a funeral or in a sad situation, but it will take good acting. STEP 7 - Grit to avoid
Grit your teeth while pushing your tongue against your pallet. If you have to release it, do it without a smile so people aren’t sure what you’re responding to.

The play was directed by Raymond Choo Kong and features a stellar cast which includes Penelope Spencer, Cecilia Salazar, Richard Ragoobarsingh, Glenn Davis, Dionne McNicol and Roger Dickie.
“Mary Could Dance” the warm and sometimes scandalous comedy looks at what happens when three dancer/prostitutes face the return of one of their group’s first love back from living years in the United States and features everything from exotic dancing, to cat fights, to romance, to the antics of the scandalous pimp/bar owner Mule as the number one play of Trinidad and Tobago takes you on a journey and a night of theatre that you will never forget.

Interview Stephen Doobal | Story Amelia C. Ramjarrie
Avionne Mark is a beautiful, confident ball of positive energy and once she sets her mind to a goal she will do all that it takes to make it a reality. In very quick time Avionne has made a name for herself and yet as far as she is concerned this is only the beginning. She can be very poised one moment and in the next suddenly burst into laughter that can light up any room. She was also featured on the first issue of the OMG Magazine published in the Trinidad Express Newspapers on March 31st, 2012. One of the first crucial lessons I learnt as a young adult was that I cannot always count on others to respect my feelings. Being a good person doesn’t mean people will be good to you. You only have control over yourself but you can take all the negative criticism of people and turn them into something positive. Avionne Mark learnt this lesson when she won the title of Miss Trinidad and Tobago Universe, 2012. You may work hard to achieve your aims but there are always going to be people gossiping and ridiculing you. Avionne however used those situations as fuel for the fires of her
ambitions and in the end she made it to her destination. Meanwhile those negative people are still standing where they were when she set out on her journey. Avionne described herself as a tomboy when she attended Lakshmi Girls College and engaged in rough and tumble adventures at her hometown of Champs Fleurs. When she got older she decided she wanted to get into the world of modelling and pageantry. Her first step in this world of beauty and poise was entering the local Miss Universe pageant. She entered twice and on her second attempt she qualified to compete. She exhibited ferocity, boldness and beauty throughout the competition and was able to run away with the crown and title. Avionne’s victory meant that she was going to be introduced to the world. In addition, she was going to accomplish her dreams which included travelling abroad for the first time and representing Trinidad and Tobago on an international stage. Apart from her accomplishments she got the opportunity to shop and take in a theatre production in New York and experience life in Las Vegas, where the Miss Universe pageant was held. Avionne described it as an amazing experience and credits her friends, family and especially her mother whom she says is her engine. She says that after looking at her mom work so hard to provide for her, she is only too happy to have the

opportunity to repay her. Many people are curious about Avionne’s life after the Miss Universe competition. She is finishing her degree in International Tourism Management and has high hopes of obtaining a related job with the Government or even regional companies. This Trini beauty believes that with her experience and academic qualifications she will be an asset to any employer. She also has plans to organise programmes aimed at the holistic development and upliftment of our young people. One high point during our meeting with Avionne was when she told us about her OMG moment. She said that it came during her rehearsal at the Miss Universe competition in Las Vegas. “I was walking off the stage in the final segment and when I arrived backstage my shoes were unstable. I slipped and fell. Simultaneously there was an interview with a media representative for the show and the camera being used in the interview was facing the direction where I fell. I don’t ever want to see that video because I know my accident would be there and I would be so embarrassed.”

Solange Sebro 34, ARIMA
Interview Stephen Doobal | Story Amelia C. Ramjarrie
I have always been amazed at the Food Network’s show ‘Cake Challenge.’ The cake decorators are so talented, they are literally artistes on cake. Instead of using a canvas, they implore their visions with the skill cake decorating. Cake decorating artistically and precisely covering a cake with some form of icing and then using decorative sugars, candies, chocolate or icing decorations to embellish the cake. Some decorators are even so skilled that they can do what we call fondant. Fondant is designs including flowers or even people. When I heard that there was cake decorator named Solange Sebro who lives in Trinidad that could do this kind of cake decorating I became excited. I just wanted to know all about her epic journey of leaving behind the so many job professions for this one in particular.

artistof the week
Solange could do almost any design. You name, you got it. OMG asked her how she decided to get into cake decorating. She was most excited to inform us that it began with a short course in cake decorating. However, it wasn’t just a short course because she was able to find her talent, something that many people struggle to discover their entire lives. At first, she began just creating cakes for her family and friends and friends of friends but her cake decorating business flourished and artistic skills were in demand. She would model the cakes according to persons’ needs, background, event and even job. Solange told us that she was most grateful for her parents support in her profession. I think that’s very commendable of her parents since there are so many parents that can’t accept that their children don’t want to pursue careers in what we refer to as ‘high prestige jobs’ such as engineering or law. That’s why I admire her showing the world that being in a high profession by opening her own cake display studio. I think it will show that being highly paid isn’t everything ,its being happy and doing what you you love. When Solange was asked her OMG moment was when she replied by saying ‘ It was when made a cake for woman’s husband retiree function. I made a model of him laughing. People didn’t know if it was a cake and were asking. Could we eat it?’

Sanjay Dutt says
Policegiri promotions budget should be used
to help Uttarakhand flood victims by Reza Noorani
Sanjay Dutt
Hrithik Roshan and Katrina
Bang Bang first look: Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif look divine together! by Prathamesh Jadhav
Here’s the first poster of Siddharth Raj Anand’s latest movie starring the gorgeous pair from Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.
What do you get when you have the Greek God of Bollywood paired opposite the most sizzling babe in B-town? Last time, when Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif clubbed together for Zoya Akhtar’s muchacclaimed road movie Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, the two simply set the screen on fire with their romantic equation and incredible onscreen chemistry.
And now, one look at the poster of Siddharth Raj Anand’s forthcoming drama Bang Bang and you can expect an explosion like no other. While Hrithik looks his debonair best, Kat looks absolutely angelic as she leans over him. The two seem to be getting intimate and desperately in love with each other. We hear the movie is an adaptation of the Tom Cruise-Cameron Diaz starrer Knight and Day and will release in May next year. With the combustible pairing of the Roshan lad and the gorgeous Ms Kaif, we know that the next summer will really be hotter than ever before! What say you?
The glitzy Dubai premiere of the movie is cancelled at the behest of the Munnabhai superstar who suggested a better alternative for the money With the floods in Uttarakhand causing such devastation, it seems that Bollywood has, as always, jumped into the fray to help those in need. This time it is Sanjay Dutt who has appealed from Yerawada prison to make a rather startling but heartening request. In a letter written by Dutt to wife Manyata from jail, Sanjay has asked that the money being used to promote Policegiri be directed instead to help the victims of the Uttarakhand disaster. He specifically asked that the Dubai premiere of the film be cancelled and the money be used to organise a charity event in Mumbai where donations for flood and landslide victims can be collected..
The producer Rahul Aggarwal willingly obliged and even said that besides the promotional money, they would help ensure that their share of the first day collections from the film would go towards relief efforts. “Sanjay wrote a letter to Manayata mentioning that we should not spend money on holding the premiere overseas and organise a charity event in Mumbai instead and use the funds collected for flood victims. Sanjay’s suggestion has moved us, and besides the charity show, we will also donate the producers’ share from the collections of the first day first show of the film in Maharashtra,” said the producer. So we hope that you will rush to catch Sanju baba in action on the first day of the release. After all, you know your money is being used for a good cause!

Ambikapathy movie review:
Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor shine in Raanjhanaa Tamil version by IANS
What’s a love story without some fun, heartaches and reality checks? Most love stories of our times pass through these three phases, and by then, either the girl or the boy realises they’re not meant to be together, and move on with their lives. However, in some rare cases, we see a love story enter the fourth phase – when you realise that love doesn’t age, but people do in a relationship. Anand L Rai’s Ambikapathy, the Tamil dubbed version of Raanjhanaa, is a simple love story of a small-town boy and a girl who, in the process of figuring out the thin line between love and friendship, uncover stronger feelings for each other. We’ve
Read the review of the dubbed south Indian version of Raanjhanaa to see how audiences have liked it had oodles of love stories focusing on the communal divide between the lovers, but Ambikapathy is largely about the divide in the ideologies of the youth of modern India. It’s the story of small town values versus urban philosophies. What happens when a girl with city intellect is pitted against the conventional yet archaic values of a small-town boy in the name of love? This is what precisely Rai depicts in this breezy entertainer packed with pain, laughter and little melodrama. Ambikapathy scores an ace in two departments – casting and music. There would have been a third one if the second half was shorter and less melancholic. Spearheaded by Dhanush, who was irreplaceable in his role, and a brilliant supporting cast of Swara and Ayub, the film helps Sonam unleash her acting prowess. Rahman’s music, needless to say, becomes
an integral part of the film’s composition and helps us connect with the soul of the film. Just like his previous film Tanu Weds Manu, Rai’s second directorial venture celebrates life in the alleys of Benaras, on the banks of the Ganga, giving us a sliceof-life of small town adventures. Some of the best moments come from the scenes between Dhanush, Ayub and Swara. The camaraderie between them may pop up questions in many as to how could two guys use a girl for their whims and fancies, but if you look at it from a small-town’s point of view, it’s one of the best friendship moments ever captured on-screen. You could easily write off Rai’s protagonist, who like a love-struck puppy, stalks Sonam Kapoor, but it doesn’t rule out the probability that most small-town love stories are akin to what was portrayed to us. If you haven’t known a friend who
cut his wrist or ever attempted suicide over love, then it’s unlikely that you will understand what lies beneath the layers of the emotion. For people who attach only a love story tag to Ambikapathy, there is so much you didn’t understand in the film or could’ve gotten bored with because of the disengaging second half. Love is merely used as a tool to help us understand the complexity of modern-day relationships (including father-daughter or father-son) and politics. There are two heroes in the film – Dhanush and AR Rahman, and both wear the south Indian label like a medal of honour and never allow it come in between their work. With his flawless performance as a Benarasi Brahmin boy, Dhanush kicks all the south Indian cliches out of the window, while Rahman helps us connect with the film more on an emotional level.

Kevin Clash huge victory for Elmo
in child molestation cases Pay attention kids, ‘cause today’s lesson -- YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOSE.
TMZ has learned ... Kevin Clash – who famously voiced Elmo – has scored a big victory in the child molestation cases filed against him, after a judge ruled that THREE accusers had waited too long to file their lawsuits.
According to the legal documents filed in federal court in New York and obtained by TMZ, the judge threw out the lawsuits filed by Cecil Singleton, Kevin Kiadii and a third unnamed accuser – after deciding their cases against Clash had been submitted after the statute of limitations had run out. Singleton sued Clash back in 2012 (when he was 23) claiming an adult Clash seduced him when he was 15 years old. Singleton says they had sexual intercourse years later ... when Cecil was an adult. In the documents, the judge explains that the statute of limitations to sue expired 3 years after the accusers turned 18 ... therefore, they’re all too late. Clash resigned from his job with Sesame Street after several men – including Singleton and Kiadii – came forward with allegations of inappropriate sexual relationships

Cirque du Soleil Acrobat dies after accidental fall
during performance By justin ravitz
Marshall Mathers aka Eminem
Eminem talks past
drug use: ‘I WOULD HAVE DIED’ USMagazine, Saturday, June 29, 2013, 9:15am (PDT)
The Cirque du Soleil family is mourning the tragic loss of one its own. After an accident during a June 29 performance of Ka at the MGM Grand Las Vegas, acrobatic performer Sarah Guyard-Guillot died at age 31. The Paris-born performer was one of the acrobats suspended by a wire during the show’s “Final Battle” scene; she somehow slipped from her safety wire and plummeted about 50 feet to the pit below. “(The artist) was being hoisted up the side of the stage and then just plummeted down,” eyewitness Dan Mosqueda, told the Las Vegas Sun. “Initially, a lot of people in the audience thought it was part of the choreographed fight. But you could hear screaming, then groaning, and we could hear a female artist crying from the stage.” Reportedly the first fatality in the 30year history of the worldwide Cirque du Soleil performance franchise, Guyard-Guillot was pronounced dead at 11:43 p.m. at University Medical
Center. No formal cause of death has been determined. With 22 years of acrobatic performance behind her, she joined Ka in 2004. “The entire Cirque du Soleil family is deeply saddened by the accidental death of Sarah (Sassoon) Guyard, artist on the production ‘Ka,’ that happened on Saturday, June 29, in Las Vegas,” a rep for the company said in a statement. “The artist’s immediate family has been informed of the accident. Our thoughts are with her family and the entire Cirque du Soleil family.” Added Guy Laliberte, Cirque’s founder: “I am heartbroken. I wish to extend my sincerest sympathies to the family. We are all completely devastated with this news. Sassoon was an artist with the original cast of ‘Ka’ since 2006 and has been an integral part of our Cirque du Soleil tight family. We are reminded, with great humility and respect, how extraordinary our artists are each and every night. Our focus now is to support each other as a family.” Lalibert added that all performances of Ka have been cancelled until further notice, and that they are cooperating with authorities as the investigation continues.
In a new documentary, “How to Make Money Selling Drugs,” Eminem is opening up about his scary drug abuse, revealing that he almost died during one overdose. The rapper, who entered rehab for sleeping pill addiction in 2005 and addressed the problem in his 2010 album “Recovery,” has admitted in the past to taking 10 to 20 Vicodin (painkiller) pills daily. “Valium, Ambien, the numbers got so high I don’t even know what I’’m taking,” he told Vibe magazine after his rehab stint. Now, in the new documentary, the 40-yearold reveals that his prescription drug abuse nearly killed him. “My bottom was going to be death,” he says in the film excerpt on YouTube. Recalling the first time he had Vicodin, he explained it was a “feeling of ‘Ahhh,’ everything was not only mellow, but didn’t feel any pain. It just kind of numbed things.” The Detroit native said that it was hard for him to realise that he had a problem since he wasn’t abusing drugs like crack or heroin. “I don’t know what point exactly it started to be a problem, I just remember liking it more and more,” he explained. If friends tried to tell him to get help, “I would say, ‘Get that f..king person outta here, I can’t believe they said that shit to me,’” he recalled. “’They don’t know nothing about my f..king life, are they out of their f…king mind? I’m not out there shooting heroin, I’m not out there putting coke up my nose, I’m not smoking crack; I literally thought I could control it.”
The abuse did catch up to him, though, as he reveals his scary brush with death when he was hospitalised following an overdose. “Had I got to the hospital about two hours later, I would have died,” he said. “My organs were shutting down. My liver, kidneys, everything. They were gonna have to put me on dialysis, they didn’t think I was gonna make it.” Once leaving the hospital, Eminem says that he didn’t sleep for three weeks and relapsed a month later. “I remember just walking around my house and thinking every single day, like, I’m gonna f..king die. I’m looking at my kids, and like, I need to be here for this.” Explaining that he had to regain his motor skills and talking skills, the Grammy-award winner said he has come a long way since his days of drug abuse. “It’s been a learning process,” he said. “I’m growing. I just couldn’t believe that anybody could be naturally happy or naturally function or be just enjoying life in general without being on something.” He added, “So I would say to anybody, ‘It does get better, you know. It just does.’” Eminem is dad to Hailie Jade Scott, 17, whom he had with ex Kimberly Scott. They divorced in 2006. He also has adopted two other daughters: Alaina “Lainie” Mathers, the child of Scott’s sister, and Whitney, Scott’s child from a previous relationship. The film, which opened on June 29, also features interviews with Russell Simmons and Woody Harrelson.

Basketball wives star - Nia Crooks
‘Basketball Wives’
star dodges jail After Bitch-Slap Attack
Shank ... fish ... yard-out ... all words Nia Crooks doesn’t need to learn -the “Basketball Wives” star copped a plea deal for her insane bitch-slapcase ... and won’t spend a day behind bars.
Paula Deen
Paula Deen new job offer ...
TMZ broke the story ... Nia was charged with misdemeanor battery by the Broward County State Attorney’s Office after she pimp slapped the S**t out of co-star Jennifer Williams -- and it was all caught by VH1’s cameras.
Nia faced up to a year in jail, but decided to strike a deal with prosecutors (good idea considering the whole “on tape” thing) ... and pled no contest. In exchange she was sentenced to the following: 1-year probation, $645 fine, and ordered to write a letter of apology, stay away from Jennifer and undergo 13 weeks of anger management.
no apron required Disgraced chef Paula Deen needs a job ... and she’s a mom ... so the good people who run a MILF-based porn site put 2-and-2 together and have offered her a SIX-FIGURE GIG. A website called PureMature.com fired off a letter this week ... offering Paula a place in their company ... in light of her N-word controversy, which has lost her millions in sponsorships.
In the letter, PM starts by explaining to Paula she’s a MILF – a hot mom over the age of 65 who men would like to (you know). It continues with the job offer adding, “Full figured or thin, arthritic or diabetic – you embody our perfect spokesperson.” As for compensation, PureMature says it’s willing to offer her “6 figures for very little work” ... and NO nudity is required. Phew. Who knows what years of fried Twinkies has created ...
