Thylane Lena-Rose Blondeau Is The 10-Year-Old Vogue Model (Photos)
THE 10-year-old model on the cover of Vogue France is called Thylane Lena-Rose Blondeau. How uncomfortable can you feel? Not very. We don’t fancy children – and if we did we imagine that what they wear would have no bearing on our desires. But, still, the media is up in arms about a child playing dress ups. We’ve seen her before, of course – creepy photos this way:

Leeds Couple Take 91 Minutes To Finish Meal At KFC – Get Parking Ticket
TO Yorkshire, where Tina Ottewell-Thomson and David Stephenson have shared a meal at the KFC chicken restaurant at Birstall, near Leeds. The couple drove there. They parked in the car park. But
parking is restricted to 75 minutes,and it took them 21 minutes longer for the couple to eat their fast food and leave the car park.
Says Mr Stephenson:
“It is ridiculous. I paid £12 cash for two chicken meals and a cup of tea and coffee for both me and Tina. I am not paying an extra £150 for that pleasure. If they take me to court then we will see whether I should pay it or not.”

MELISSA Redmond, 29, of Mine Hill, N.J., is accused of offering sex for sale at the Dunkin’ Donuts store where she worked.

The Rockaway Township police have called the investigation “extra sugar“.
A Detective Sgt. Kyle Schwarzmann, tells the Daily Record of Parsippany, N.J.:
“She was a night time employee (working 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.), supposedly a very good one.”

Julia Roberts And Christy Turlington L’Oreal Ads Banned For Lying
THOSE images of Julia Roberts and Christy Turlington modelling stuff for L’Oreal have been banned. The Liberal Democrat MP Jo Swinson says the ads adverts were “not representative of the results the products could achieve”.
How the MP knows this is not said. But we are inclined to agree that applying reassuringly expensive face paints is unlikely to turn you into a top model or Oscar winning actress. They only might.

Kent Woman Banned From Every Shop In Britain Is Poundland Champion
SARAH Parker has been banned from every shop in the land.
At Canterbury magistrates’ court, Parker admits to shoplifting £100 worth of goods in single items from Poundland in Canterbury, Kent, on May 19.
Anorak has been to Poundland and can only say that Parker, a pregnant mum of four, must have been unhinged. Finding one thing worth buying in Poundland, let alone stealing, is a challenge. Finding 100 items seems a devious task akin to cleaning the Augean Stables with a bendy straw while being nagged by 25 toddlers driven half-mad on Lucozade.

The Most Useless Anti-Drugs Adverts Ever (How To Get Paid For Sex)
ANTI-drugs adverts are useless. At best they scare the already scared into not taking the drugs they would not take anyhow. At worse, they make the drugs look pretty damn good. Anyone already on drugs is too monged out on the sofa like a prolapsed goose or searching the intent for legal highs and drugs the anti-drugs campaigners haven’t even thought about campaigning against yet. Here are the worst anti-drugs adverts ever:
