Mid February 2009Hasselhoff circa 2006

David Hasselhoff is rumored to have gotten a little nip and tuck work done, particularly around the eyes and nose.  We decided to do a little recon work of our own and we dug up a photo of the Hoff from 2006, showing his craggy and furrowed mug.  We’ve done a side by side comparison with a recent photo of the 56 year-old actor.

Actually, the skinny is that Hasselhoff was recognized at the Virgin Air counter of New York’s JFK airport.  After he finished his business, a counter employee reportedly exclaimed, “Oh my God.  Did you see his face-lift.  Way too tight.”

The America’s Got Talent judge claims not to have had any plastic surgery but does admit, through his publicist, to a little bit of Botox.

Check out the rest of the photos and decide for yourself.  That’s Kimberly Stevens with the actor below.  She’s a hypnotist and reportedly Hoff’s latest love interest.

Arman Partamian died of alcohol poisoning

Three members of the Geneseo, New York off-campus club known as the Pigs, have been charged with hazing and criminally negligent homicide and tampering with evidence in the alcohol poisoning death of 19 year old Arman Partamian on March 1, 2009.

Students Alex Stucki, 20, Daniel Wech, 21, and Devin McClain, 21,  encouraged Partamian to drink to such excess that he died, according to Livingston County prosecutor Thomas Moran.  Stucki  was also charged with tampering for removing Partamian’s fraternity pledge shirt before calling police to report his death.

The trio pleaded not guilty at an arraignment earlier today, after being indicted by a grand jury.  The criminally negligent homicide charge carries a possible prison sentence of up to 4 years, and the tampering charge also carries a sentence of up to 4 years.

The Pigs has been known primarily for drinking and partying and has a long history of alcohol-related problems.  The landlord has now shut down the Pigs house.

Partamian, a sophomore biology major from Queens, who attended the State University of New York at Geneseo, had a blood-alcohol level of 0.55, nearly seven times the legal limit for driving.  His body was discovered  lying face down on a mattress at the illegal drinking club.

The Pigs fraternity was banned from campus in 1996 after two students were hospitalized following heavy binge drinking.  College president Christopher Dahl vowed to “eliminate any organization that has lost its affiliation with the college and whose existence threatens the well-being of our students.”

See mugshot booking photos of Stucki, Wech and McClain and video tribute below.

Earth Birth Rachel Zaslow

One of our favorite inspirational sites is chooselovemore.com.   Their mission is simply “to spark a change in the way we think, inspiring each and everyone one of us to bring more love, peace, and joy into our day to day lives.”  Perfect right?  Lovemore has vowed to donate a share of their profits to organizations that embody their mission and Earth Birth fits that mission to a tee.

The co-founder of Earth Birth is Rachel Zaslow, a midwife from Brooklyn, New York.  What exactly is Earth Birth?

Earth Birth is run by midwives to foster an international women’s health movement that encourages and promotes safe and peaceful birth as an act of social justice and community healing.  They offer a holistic approach to women’s health care that is both community centered and internationally connected.  They build clinics and community centers and offer trainings for Traditional Birth Attendants and Educators.  Their goals include community sustainability, lowered maternal and infant mortality rate, lowered mother to child HIV transmission, access to supplies, access to trauma counseling, the ability to articulate ones story and the facilitation of positive and empowered child birth experiences.

Rachel was featured in a interview on GRITtv that can be seen here.  You may notice that Zaslow was wearing a Lovemore shirt during her interview.  For every single t-shirt, hoodie, onesie, bag or bottle that is purchased from Lovemore, a portion of the profits will be donated to Earth Birth.  Do yourself a favor and take it little time to see how these women are making a difference in the world.

According to a makeup artist and a fashion stylist, the rapper/actress cheated them out of $1 million.

A spokeswoman for Latifah says the lawsuits have no merit, but she can’t comment more on pending litigation.
