Rape On Brazil Big Brother: Monique Amin Raped On Live TV Brazilian Big Brother

A housemate Monique Amin on Brazil’s version of Big Brother has been raped live on TV, it has been alleged.
Police today confirmed they had begun an investigation and carried out a search of the studios in Rio de Janeiro, where the popular reality show is being filmed.
Viewers were shocked in the early hours of Sunday to watch contestant Daniel Echaniz 31, apparently force himself on 23-year-old student Monique Amin, who had passed out drunk after a boozy party.
Night cameras fimed Echaniz, a male model, get into the bed where Ms Amin was sleeping before appearing to have sex with her under the covers.
Throughout the incident the female contestant appeared unconscious.
The next morning Ms Amin was asked about the incident in the diary room, and appeared to know little of what had happened.
As the scandal began to engulf the show, one of Brazil’s most watched TV programmes, police officers arrived at the house and interviewed Ms Amin for three hours, before taking her away for a rape examination, according to sources.
Police are believed to have then told TV channel Globo to either stop broadcasting the show, which is produced by Endemol and only began last Tuesday, or eliminate Echaniz.

The decision to remove the contestant, who if found guilty of rape faces between six and ten years’ jail, was explained in a statement read out by the show’s presenter Pedro Bial.
He said: ‘Since Sunday morning, the board had been evaluating the behaviour of Daniel, who is suspected of having infringed the rules of the programme.
‘Big Brother examined his behaviour without jumping to conclusions and with the utmost care. The images showed a breach of the rules of the programme.
‘After careful evaluation, the direction of the programme found that the behavior of the contestant on the night of the party was seriously inadequate.’
Makers Endemol – which is known for encouraging outrageous behaviour among its contestants – today refused to comment on the latest scandal to rock the worldwide Big Brother format.
Big Brother Brasil, which is in its 12th series, is watched by an average TV audience of eight million. In last year’s final over 154 million votes were cast.

Michelle Williams Sexy GQ: Michelle Williams In Sexy GQ Lingerie For Marilyn Monroe Shoot

Michelle Williams readily admits that ‘being sexy’ is not one of her ‘first qualities’.
But in a new photo shoot, Michelle Williams gives a rare glimpse of a very seductive side, flaunting her incredible figure in some lacy lingerie.
The 31-year-old Golden Globe winning actress is seen posing in a two-piece black and beige set for a Marylin Monroe-inspired shoot for GQ magazine.
Wearing a platinum blonde wig and lashings of red-lipstick, Michelle who won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for My Week with Marilyn, is the spitting image of the iconic Fifties star.
In an inside shot, the normally demure star slips into a transparent chocolate lacy negligee paired with some cream lace underwear.
Staring into the mirror, she embodies the sexy yet innocent and tragic persona of the famous blonde bombshell.
In the magazine, the actress doesn’t just dare to bare her body, she also opens up about her relationship with her partner and father of her daughter Matilda, Heath Ledger, who tragically passed away in January 2008.
In the interview, she describes her first meeting with the actor as ‘cosmic.’
‘Our initial meeting, the circumstances of how we first met, were cosmic or something,’ she said.
‘Yeah, a lot of things happened at once. It’s a bit like: We had a lot of things to do, because we didn’t have a lot of time, or something.’
She described the aftermath of the then 28-year-old actor’s death as overwhelming.
‘It was making me crazy. I felt like I was going crazy. It was too much…trying to deal with what had happened and trying to deal with what was at our doorstep,’ she explained.
‘I just felt trapped. And it’s not just me… there’s somebody else who I’m trying to protect (daughter Matilda), and I can’t.
‘I can’t make it stop, I can’t make it go away. Trying to find ways to explain it or shield her from it. It’s like you’re trying to go about your life, and make dinner.’
The reserved star says that being sexy is not one of her first and foremost traits, and that was mostly influenced from her time playing Jen Lindley on teen drama Dawson’s Creek for five years.
‘I wouldn’t say that that would be one of my first qualities as a human being… being sexy. And I think because my character on Dawson’s Creek was sexy… sexualized… sexual,’ she said.
‘I saw all the negative attention and connotations that can come along with that. And that those things can keep people from seeing you clearly.’
Michelle’s daring GQ look is a far cry different from her appearance at the Golden Globe last Sunday night.

Mena Suvari Divorce: Actress Mena Suvari Files For Divorce After 18 Months Of Marriage

While a long list of celebrities got engaged over the holidays, it was a completely different situation for Mena Suvari.
People reported the American Pie actress filed for divorce from concert producer Simone Sestito on Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court after 18 months of marriage.
According to court documents, the date of separation was November 1 and the 32-year-old cited “irreconcilable differences.”
Ace Show Biz reported Suvari also asked the judge to not allow Sestito to receive spousal support and requested her legal name to be changed from Mena Suvari-Sestito to Mena Suvari.
The two met in 2007 at the Toronto Film Festival, and were engaged a year later. They exchanged vows in June 2010 at an intimate ceremony in Vatican City.
Before tying the knot, Suvari told Us Weekly that she adored Sestito and “his family and it just inspires me to live that kind of life.”
For those following her on Twitter, the divorce news doesn’t come as much of a surprise.
“When I let go of what’s not meant to be, I clear a path for good stuff to find me!” she recently tweeted, along with, “What women want: to be loved, to be listened to, to be desired, to be respected, to be needed, to be trusted, and sometimes just to be held.”
Before Sestito, Suvari was previously married to cinematographer Robert Brinkman. They parted ways five years into their marriage in 2005.
On a lighter note, you can catch her on the big screen once again when American Pie Reunion hits theaters later this year.

Evan Rachel Wood Flaunt Pics: Evan Rachel Wood N@ked For Flaunt Magazine Cover

Evan Rachel Wood is known for rocking an edgier style compared to the polished and preened look of so many Hollywood stars.
But Evan Rachel Wood has stripped off for perhaps her most controversial photoshoot yet appearing on the cover of the 13th Anniversary of Flaunt magazine.
The 24-year-old actress is seen posing topless with just a pair of high-waisted knickers and is seen starring seductively into the camera while drinking out of a glass of wine.
There is an element of fetish captured in the photo with Evan wearing a gold collar and a dangling chain down her chest.
The provocative shoot also sees the star posing over her shoulder with her whole back and a portion of her bottom clearly on show.
The distinctive and gritty pictures were shot by Ellen von Unwerth for The JuJu issue of Flaunt and are accompanied by a whimsical interview that recounts Rachel’s visit to a psychic.
During the interview Evan, who is said to have recently gotten engaged to boyfriend Jamie Bell remains coy about her ‘lover’.
The actress, who has also admitted to being bisexual spoke about the differences and similarities between the sexes.
She said: ‘In a way, I think the lines between male and female are being more blurred by the day and I think that’s kind of cool. I don’t think we should just base ourselves and our sexes on what we’ve been told are male and female.
‘There are so many people going against their instincts or what’s natural, and I think that’s a problem—that repression, guilt, and fear really produce violence and hatred.’
‘You have to make room for the possibility of there being more than one way to live. I never judge these people or hate them. I just am sad for anyone who is so set in their ways without experiencing other options.’
Fans might also be intrigued to learn that the Ides of March star also has musical aspirations and she admitted: ‘I really want to start making music. I really want to collaborate with somebody.’
Tonight Evan stepped out onto the red carpet at the 17th Annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards.
While the actress opted for a dark floor-length gown with sheer crochet detail around the bust and skirt hemline, she was sporting a rather feminine look, a far cry from her usual style.
While she might have attended the event solo she was still wearing the sparkling diamond ring on her engagement finger.

Mehdi Hassan Died: Ghazal Maestro Mehdi Hassan Passes Away In Karachi

India-born legendary Ghazal singer Mehdi Hassan died on Friday morning at a private clinic in Pakistan’s Sindh’s provincial capital Karachi, according to reports emerging from Pakistan.
The 84-year-old singer was admitted to the ICU on Wednesday following respiratory problems.
Hassan, the voice behind evergreen ghazals like Ab ke bichade and Patta patta boota boota, was on Thursday put on a ventilator after he collapsed due to respiratory problems.
The ghazal legend has been ill for the last few years due to a serious lung condition that has led to complications and breathing problems.
The legendary singer, who was born into a family of traditional musicians at Luna village in Rajasthan in 1927 and the voice behind evergreen ghazals like ‘Ab ke bichade’ and ‘Patta patta boota boota, had recently lost his voice due to his illness.
Hassan remains a hugely popular Ghazal singer in the Indian sub-continent because of his background as a gharana trained classical singer. He cut back on his performances in the late 80s due to illness.
Born in Rajasthan, his family migrated to Pakistan during Partition.
The singer last performed in India in 2000. He wanted to visit India in 2010 for treatment and wished to meet Lata Mangeshkar, Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan.
The visit could not take place and his earlier planned visit in 2008 was also cancelled in wake of Mumbai attack.

Olivia Munn Nude PETA: Olivia Munn Poses Nude For PETA Anti Fur Campaign

Model and actress Olivia Munn is the latest celebrity to strip down for PETA’s “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign.
Shot by top celebrity photographer Emily Shur, the billboard image shows the correspondent for “The Daily Show” posing topless opposite a bunny as the tagline asks, “Who Needs Fur To Feel Beautiful?”
Unfortunately, the fully nude image was deemed too risque, so only a partial topless photo of Munn will appear on the PETA billboard on Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
“When you think about even that little tiny trim of fur on your gloves or on your collar, that is still coming from an animal that had to endure so much pain just for you,” the 31-year-old actress said in a press release announcing the campaign. “There’s nothing good about pretending like you don’t know.”
The ad aims to draw attention to PETA’s ongoing campaign campaign against fur which, the group explains on their website, leads to inhumane treatment and suffering of animals.
When people learn that millions of innocent animals are beaten, boiled, hanged, and electrocuted for their fur every year; that each fur coat, each piece of fur lining or fur trim, and each fur cat toy represents the intense suffering of dozens of animals; and that furriers intentionally mislabel the fur of cats and dogs as fur from other species or as faux fur — then every decent human being will want to go fur-free.
Similarly, the Humane Society says the fur industry is notorious for extreme mistreatment of animals.
“On fur factory farms around the world, millions of raccoon dogs, rabbits, foxes, mink, chinchillas, and other animals spend their lives in wire cages, only to be killed by anal electrocution, by neck-breaking, or in gas chambers,” the group says on their website.
Munn, who stars in Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming comedy “Magic Mike” and Aaron Sorkin’s HBO drama series “Newsroom,” previously posed nude for PETA in 2010, advocating that people boycott the circus over animal cruelty.
Other celebrities who have posed for PETA’s eyebrow-raising “I’d Rather Go Naked” ad campaign include Khloe Kardashian, Eva Mendes and Elisabetta Canalis.Olivia Munn Poses Nude For PETAOlivia Munn Poses Nude For PETA Anti Fur Campaign
