Naked Britney swears, spits at boutique salesperson
BEIJING, Jan. 17 (Xinhuanet) -- Add naked ranting and raving in public to Britney Spears' growing list of outrageous, less-than-motherly behavior now that the miscreant pop singer stands accused of nude and lascivious acts in a Betsy Johnson, boutique, reports Life & Style. Spears and sex-toy photographer, Adnan Ghalib, dropped by the Sherman Oaks, California, store Sunday for some fashion fun. But an employee tells L&S, after taking loads of clothes to the fitting room Spears walked out baring her body for all to see. "I was blown away. Britney's private parts were right in front of me," the stunned sales associate revealed. "I grabbed a dress to cover her and she screamed,Get away from me! Don't you f---ing come near me! Then she disappeared in the dressing room with Adnan for 45 minutes." What were Britney and Ghalib up to? The employee couldn't say for certain, but it isn't hard to imagine.
Body Over Mind
All Muslims know that Ramadan is supposed to be 30 days of spirituality and self-sacrifice, a chance for one to cleanse both body and soul, but the majority of us tend to do just the opposite. From a health standpoint, what actually takes place during Ramadan is quite frightening. As soon as the hilal (crescent moon) has been spotted and the announcement of the start of Ramadan has been made, we all switch into ‘fasting mode,' which usually means three things: gastronomic overindulgence, sleep deprivation and marathon television viewing. The result of this assault on the system usually leads to chronic fatigue, headaches, indigestion, constipation and for many an ‘inexplicable' 3-4 kilo weight gain by month's end. Not exactly the normal outcome of a 30-day fast. Nutritionists and religious experts alike strongly urge those who fast to follow a few simple guidelines that can make Ramadan a more spiritual and healthy month.
