Pete Doherty In Court 2007-08-07 15:56:59 It has been reported that Pete Doherty was in court today and the judge adjourned the sentencing to September 4. Today’s court case was for driving illegally while in possession of drugs. Judge Lachlar told the court: “I see that he did not actually do the detox until the end of the month. Its early days, to put it mildly. Then he went on to say that “He has been tested and it’s positive - perhaps not surprising at this early stage.” “What I have in mind is to adjourn the matter for four weeks to assess his motivation. What I have in mind is a community order or prison. If he does not show his motivation it’s prison, as simple as that.” It does seem that he is getting in trouble too many times and yet they are still letting him off with a slap on the wrist. What do you think should happen to him? Written by Kerry for Product ReviewsIn Sections: News, Celebrity News ...

Pollack, 73, won Academy awards for his amazing work on Out of Africa and was due to start work on the political drama Recount in the autumn. The film, about the lives of ordinary people caught up in the ballot recounts in Florida at the end of the 2000 US presidential race will now be directed by Jay Roach - director of comedies such as Meet the Parents and Austin Powers. We’ve got no word on exactly what is wrong with Sydney but Leslie Dart, his representative has said, “He’s got some medical issues. He’s not feeling well right now.

President Bush should Veto State Children’s Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP) 2007-08-07 11:40:21 The House and Senate voted last week over the Bush administrations objections to go ahead and expand the S-CHIP (State Children’s Health Insurance Program), the congress did initially create the program to cover children whose parents were doing rather well to qualify for the Medicaid but not that well to buy their very own insurance. Now they are looking to extend the coverage to these families earning up to 300% of the federal poverty level which is basically just over $60,000 for a family of 4, and with this children up to 25 years old, this is what the expansion Congress is seeking now. A welfare benefit for middle class households is what the Bush administration is calling it and is correct to call it this, and if the final bill comes from the conference which looks anything like the current versions don’t you think President Bush should come good and promise to Vito it.

Vegetarians get lower life insurance premiums: Meat eaters do not get discount 2007-08-07 11:22:53 For all you vegetarians there is a new life insurance policy which has been recently launched which offers lower premiums, this is great news because it looks like the more you eat healthily the more you will benefit in paying lower premium insurances rates. A company called Animal Friends Insurance have said that if you did not eat meat you would qualify for a stunning 6 percent discount of life cover and this is because there is medical evidence that those not eating meat are less likely to suffer from major illnesses than those who do eat meat. The life insurance industry have not given adequate weight to the benefits of being a vegetarian plus who were in effect subsidising those who do eat meat by paying the same premiums (this is what not-for-profit group said). Underwritten by insurer Liverpool Victoria the policy is also available to meat eaters but without the discount. Do you agree with this new policy?

NatWest Denies Breast Cancer Sufferer an Insurance Payout 2007-08-07 11:06:34 A woman who suffered from breast cancer has been denied insurance payout as she tried to rebuild her life after the terrible breast cancer due to an omission in her policy. Jilly had £70,000 of cover of which she claimed for and was totally confident that it would pay out but this was not to be. She was diagnosed with cancerous cells confined to ducts in her breast which is best known as ‘ductal carcinoma in situ’ and this was not covered in her insurance. Apparently this claim is not covered because the type of cancer Jilly has is such an early form of cancer that it can be treated successfully, but this is bad news because Jilly says the Natwest salesmen did not point out any pitfalls when she was sold the policy. Jilly said that if she did not have her breast removed her cancer would have spread and then it would have qualified for her claim, but this means she would have risked her life. Should Jilly have got her insurance payout? Read – Full story Written by Mark f ... Cancer
