Former Senator Ted Stevens killed--or was he?

Former Alaska Senator Ted Stevens has reportedly been killed in a plane crash while on a hunting trip. Nine people were aboard the small plane and initial reports say only four of those survived.

Reports of Stevens' death may be premature as no one is quite certain who survived and who did not. However, Twitter users are passing along a story picked up by a local television news station that Stevens has been killed.

Hiroshima Day; 65 years later

On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. It was the first-ever use of atomic weapons against an adversary and, following a similar attack against the city of Nagasaki, led to the surrender of the Japanese and the end of World War II.

Today, Hiroshima is a Trending Topic on Twitter as folks remember the horrors of war and the benefits of peace....

@WorldHistory101 At 8:16 a.m. (Japanese time) on August 6, 1945, an American B-29 bomber, the Enola Gay, dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan.

@revistapolitica RT @lamonse “Little boy”, se llamaba bomba nuclear lanzada sobre Hiroshima la mañana del 6 agosto 1945, hace 65 años: http://bit.ly/dkAvvs

@mutiaasharya Woa yeah. Hiroshima's trending. 65th anniversary after the bomb which had destructed the city. It was August 6th 1945.

@neiltyson Aug 6,1945 Hiroshima A-bomb kills 100,000. Tokyo firebombs 5 months before kill as many. Bombs kill, no matter what's in them

Campbell testifies at war crimes tribunal

Supermodel Naomi Campbell testified before a UN war crimes tribunal investigating Charles Taylor, the former president of Liberia. She said she did receive a pouch of dirty looking stones, diamonds, but was unsure who they came from.

"After confirming her name and date of birth, Miss Campbell said the pair knocked on the door of her hotel room and woke her up late at night after the dinner with Mandela.

The men, who she had never met, told her “there is a gift for you”. They gave her a “pouch” which she opened the next morning and containing “a few small very dirty looking stones”."

Twitter is all abuzz with folks postulating at the strange turn of events which brought a pseudo-celebrity before a UN war crimes tribunal....and her reluctance to be bothered by the whole affair.


@judywhittaker Sorry to hear Naomi Campbell finds it 'inconvenient' to have to appear at the trial of one of the world's most repulsive monsters.

@SirFrankButcher Naomi Campbell in a war crimes trial? How BLOODY hard did she hit that cleaner?

@Herring1967 If I got the chance to give Naomi Campbell my stones I would make sure they were rigorously clean. I would have them sparkling for her.

@wsjafrica Naomi Campbell says she "just assumed" dirty-looking pebbles were from Charles Taylor #warcrimes #blooddiamonds

@CourtneeMason Ok so Naomi Campbell.... "Blood Diamonds"?? I am going to need you to stay out of the court room. #notagoodlook

@WarrenRcomedian Naomi Campbell says she hadn't known what kind of rocks Charles Taylor had given her, but I bet she was hoping they were crack.

Bachelorette chooses her mate

The Bachelorette made her final selection last night, leaving some to wonder, why should we care?
But care we do. The "Bachelorette" is now a Trending Topic on Twitter.
Here's what they are saying:

@TVWithoutPity So #Bachelorette Ali dumped the guy who couldn't fall in love on reality TV's unnatural timetable? Makes sense. http://ht.ly/2kjWo

@MayRay1 @AliFedotowsky I am so happy for you Ali! You were by far my favorite bachelorette!!

@JappyPrincess Bachelorette finale boooooooooooorrrriiiiiiing. So boring I fell asleep and deleted it figuring I'd read about it today.

@EpikReis Why wasn't Chris picked on the Bachelorette??! It's a conspiracy!

@hughhefner I didn't expect "The Bachelorette" to have such a romantic finale. I really hope it lasts.

@LiveBachelor Ali & Roberto interview on Good Morning America! #bachelorette http://topreasonstolovethebachelor.blogspot.com/

@jvhdior I hope the Bachelorette gets Stoned to death.

@hannyybanannyy realized while dad and i watched a.h. last night, i missed the #bachelorette finale. just watched it. wrong choice ali.

@bostonnewsnow Bachelorette Makes Her Pick http://dlvr.it/3LXNd #Boston

@Possessionista ...And Chris leaves as the most respectable gentleman in #Bachelorette history

@scrowder Here's to hoping that every member of the Bachelorette finale ends up being used as chum for Shark Week.

Chelsea Clinton got married; Who knew?

In case you have been living under a rock and didn't realize it, Chelsea Clinton got married to her long-time boyfriend, Marc Mezvinsky this past weekend.
Clinton allegedly wore a Vera Wang gown and the whole shebang cost about $5 million. At least, that's the rumor.

Since I was not on the guest list I can only go by what they are saying on the Twitter. And they are saying a lot....

@TheOnlyAth Aww u hv enuff Wang 2get all the Vera u need “@marioncaunter: Chelsea Clinton walked down the aisle in a beautiful Vera Wang. Love Vera :)”

@MichaelByrnes One activity Chelsea Clinton won't be doing on her honeymoon - whitewater rafting #chelseaclinton

@LBQblog If I ever get married it will have to be on the scale of Chelsea Clinton. That's my only condition.

@Kimi_Kobayashi Can i get an update on Chelsea Clinton's choice of wedding spoons? and the exact time Justin Bieber last urinated? thanks.

@Jason_Gilbert20 50 million dollars!? who u think u got Chelsea Clinton!? *chris tucker voice*

@LiliaEP Jenna Bush's wedding: $100,000. Chelsea Clinton wedding: $3-$5 million. The Dem mantra: "The GOP is the party of the rich". Really? #tcot
