22 year old inherits £650 million porn empire

Scraping together a little extra income to support one's party lifestyle can be a struggle for most hard-up students.

But when you are set to inherit the best part of £650million pounds, the drinks are bound to taste a little sweeter.

The 22-year-old granddaughter of porn supremo Paul Raymond, who passed away three weeks ago at 82, has wasted no time hitting London's nightclubs.

And already her casual student attire of biker jacket and faded jeans favored around campus have been replaced by a look more befitting of the woman dubbed 'Queen of Soho'.

Fawn is currently studying for a masters degree in social anthropology at Edinburgh University. However, unlike her fellow graduates, fretting over her first career move might not be such a worry for the heiress. She has already been made a director of several of her late grandfather's companies.

She is also being tipped to take over Mr Raymond's vast property portfolio, which includes vast swathes of London's sex capital, Soho.

Mariah Carey hangs up on Radio 1 / BBC - AUDIO

Funny stuff..

Miss Carey talking on Radio 1 yesterday doing her best British accent. Get's a bit miffed when the host DJ Reggie Yates says she's sold over 80 million records... She hastily says back "Is that the right quote? I don't know, I have to ask someone, I don't know if that's accurate" and the phone goes dead..

Reggie takes it all in his stride and says, "I think she took that as an insult, that is how the conversation ended with me and Mariah... She took 80 million albums as an insult.. She is mad cool."

FYI
To date, Mariah has sold 165 million records worldwide, she is the second bestselling female artist of all time behind Celine Dion. LOL.
Listen to the interview below.

Fact of the Day: More Muslims than Catholics

Muslims more numerous than Catholics

Islam has surpassed Roman Catholicism as the world's largest religion, the Vatican newspaper said yesterday.

"For the first time in history, we are no longer at the top: Muslims have overtaken us," Monsignor Vittorio Formenti said in an interview with the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano. Formenti compiles the Vatican's yearbook.

He said that Catholics accounted for 17.4 percent of the world population — a stable percentage — while Muslims were at 19.2 percent.

Pa. judge sentences 3 to learn English

Funny stuff...

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - A judge known for creative sentencing has ordered three Spanish-speaking men to learn English or go to jail.

The men, who faced prison for criminal conspiracy to commit robbery, can remain on parole if they learn to read and write English, earn their GEDs and get full-time jobs, Luzerne County Judge Peter Paul Olszewski Jr. said.

The men, Luis Reyes, Ricardo Dominguez and Rafael Guzman-Mateo, plus a fourth defendant, Kelvin Reyes-Rosario, all needed translators when they pleaded guilty Tuesday.

Breaking News: T.I. Pleads Guilty to Weapons Charges

In more "jail news".

T.I. pleaded guilty today to federal weapons possession charges, and will receive a sentence that includes prison time after he completes a period of community service.

In the year that he is awaiting sentencing, T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, must complete at least 1,000 hours of a total 1,500 hours of community service, talking to youth groups about the pitfalls of guns, gangs and drugs.

He will be sentenced to serve about 12 months in prison after completing the community service, officials said. His prison time could be increased or reduced, depending on his fulfillment of the terms of the deal and good behavior, they said.

He pleaded guilty to possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers, unlawful possession of machine guns and possession of firearms by a convicted felon.

U.S. Attorney David Nahmias said Harris will remain "under strict bond conditions" during the next year.

He said Harris' sentencing was deferred "to allow him to perform a unique and extensive program — at least 1,000 hours — of community service. That service will focus on using his high public visibility and his talents to tell at-risk young people about the mistakes he has made and to educate them about the dangers of violence, guns, gangs and drugs."

Nahmias said under the agreement, Harris will have to serve a year in prison and three years of supervised home detention, perform a total of 1,500 hours of community service and pay a $100,000 fine.

Failure to fulfill his obligations will net Harris a "much longer prison sentence," Nahmias said.

Breaking News: Remy Ma CONVICTED

Remy Ma was convicted of assault, weapons possession and coercion today for shooting a woman in the abdomen in a dispute about money in New York.

The New York State Supreme Court jury cleared her of charges of gang assault, witness tampering, witness intimidation and assault in a separate incident in which her associates are accused of beating up the boyfriend of a witness.

The artist, whose real name is Remy Smith, was taken into custody after the verdict was read. She faces five to 25 years in prison.

Prosecutors said Smith shot Makeda Barnes-Joseph after a night out in New York last year, thinking she had taken $3,000 from her purse.

Britney's vocal recording 'secret'

Was I actually surprised by this?? I've always told everybody I've met with a "look" they could be the next big singing superstar, hell you don't need to know how to sing, just have stage presence and if you sing live, MIME.. Seriously..

Anyhoo check this out:

Singer/spoken-word artist Henry Rollins had an interesting take on Britney Spears during a recent interview with Sun Media.

Rollins was talking about how it always is a good idea to befriend the sound engineers at any music studio, because they're the ones with the best stories.

"They have the black chick come in and sing, and Britney sings over it, and they mix them together," said Rollins, who has his own talk show on IFC.

"(Britney) gets her phrasing basically from this older R&B woman. I found that out talking to an engineer.

"Britney apparently isn't actually the worst singer, she just has no feel. So they bring in this older black woman who sings the song, then Britney sings to it, and they kind of make a mix of the two voices, and that's what you hear on the records."

Missy Elliot needs 5 young talented girls...

This month Missy Elliott and Adidas launch “Stand Up Be Seen,” a competition to recruit female ambassadors for Missy and her clothing line Respect M.E. Ten winners will be featured in the Fall/Winter 2008 Respect M.E. campaign, and five will be go on to be the global faces of the clothing line. The final five ambassadors will travel around the world, doing photoshoots in countries including, Argentina, China, Japan, Germany, France, UK, Italy, Russia, Slovakia, and Switzerland.

According to the contest description, contestants do not have to be performers but should possess talent, passion and determination. Women and girls interested in participating can get details on the Adidas Website.

The female gender is also getting the spotlight from the Hip-Hop Association's Womanhood Learning Project (WLP). In a series of workshops, lectures, and online campaigns, the WLP will examine the role of women in Hip-Hop culture and the broader community. It hopes to both acknowledge female contributions to the genre and explore negative aspects and power struggles that exist in the culture. Events take place in New York City later this month.
