According to New York City’s Mickey K, the world is advised by Justin Bieber to pray for a Samuel Koch on young Justin Bieber’s twitter feed. This news is so twitter-disturbia inducing news, that it makes me want to listen to some music by the Grecian-Canadian artist Ko Kapches, just so I can get through reading this news.
Justin was scheduled to perform on the popular German game show Wetten Dass. However, contestant Samuel Koch had a nasty accident with a motor vehicle in a scheduled game to entertain (namely a car driving straight at him) which has resulted in the doctor treating Koch saying to media that the prognosis of young Samuel is: “spinal chord damaged, injuries to neck vertebrae with slight paralysis evident. He is still talking though.”
Injuries are believed to be “not serious.” Sounds excrutiating to me, just the post traumatic stress disorder of this unexpected accident–no matter what this ‘hush hush puppies’ doctor says. It makes me think of every single soldier whose been injured in war ever, or every person trapped in mines, injured or who even died in these two arena’s of global life at the moment. Samuel’s footage of injury we get to actually see. Ouch. We feel it, we resonate with it. Pain and injuries are real, they are shocking–they are not cool.

Meet little fellah, Leosatos Henare Rhind, son of Greek-Kiwi girl Helen Rhind (pictured Guzzling fine wine–some things never change! good!!!) and Maori air force pilot father, Greg Rhind.
New Zealand’s next generation are looking peppy. Mauri Ora from Hollywood pepi capsicum tino kaha. And Helen, I do believe this is your best poetic work of New Zealand art yet. Cute.
What a little cool guy! Your Uncle Sam says “You have big academic gumboots to fill.” :)

Germany has the strongest currency in the world. Through careful budgeting and living within its means. So much so, that they were able to help bail Greece’s economy out this week, by loaning some of their economic strength in the form of loans.
Germany today, is birthing a new generation of Greek children to have a better future. With that in mind, a pregnant German fashion icon, Claudia Shiffer poses on the cover of German Vogue. Schiffer, 39, who announced her pregnancy in January, is expecting a baby girl with husband, director Matthew Vaughn, in May. The couple are already parents to Caspar, 7, and Clementine, 5.
I guess the point of this post today is… for modern Germany, to be economically strong, means to give life and second chances to others in need is en vogue. Hot!
Today, Germany as a nation–along with the U.S are model citizens of the world.

Clocking in at #1 for 2 days in a row, Johnny Markoydakis writes of his #1 American girl, Lady Gaga in an email to Horiwood today: “… She really is an amazing and talented artist in person, and I wish her all the best. She is one of our biggest supporters in Equality, and that is something we should all never forget.” Johnny is both a gentleman and a scholar in his role as a Grecian architect of a modern America here in West Hollywood.
History says, you can’t beat them. The book of Psalms teaches us that it is “God who sets the lonely into families.” So on that note, let’s go Greece in America and the world. Go Johnny M!

Wowsa! Here’s Nana Mouskouri, the intelligent Sarah Palin, singing Haere mai in Maori–the indigenous language of New Zealand, in 1976. Cute.
Ms Mouskouri is basically singing “Welcome to all tribes”… because Together Everybody Achieves More. Awww!
Let’s go Greece and let’s go Hori’s. Ha ha! :)

Appearing in the UK’s Fabulous Magazine, Peter Andre, the Mysterious Girl singer, showed off his post break up body after splitting from Katie Price.

Not bad for a Greek Aussie lad. A decade after his pop career, he can still bust out with abs.
A good effort Pete!

I feel kinda sorry for Aussie man, Peter Andre at the news that his wife, Katie Price has officially confirmed that she’s dating professional fighter, Alex Reid.
That was quick work for Katie Price (aka Jordan). Poor Pete! At least the Aussie man wasn’t stupid. Pete knew Katie was up to trouble, as this shows.

Whenever a partner leaves you to do most of the parenting of the children you raise together; they are 90% of the time, up to no good! Pete is such a good dad. Bauer Griffin

Oprah demonstrates the principle that true charity first begins at home. The talk show queen of the world will celebrate her 55th birthday party with the people that matter to her the most… her staff.
Oprah has all of her staff to a 3-day party in Barcelona, Spain. Then she’s taking them all on a 10-day cruise in the Mediterranean. Oprah’s generosity extends to her 1700 employees and their families. How sweet is she?! So sweet. Each person will cost Oprah, $5,400 per head.
Oprah’s Harpo productions entourage will travel from Barcelona to Italy, Turkey, Greece, and Malta on a Norwegian Gem liner booked specifically for the occasion.
Oprah Winfrey is a living reminder, that superstars are only created by a team of people. It’s nice to see her share some of her success with her generosity of spirit. Nice one Miss O!

The Sun says Peter Andre broke down immediately when he was reunited with his mommy who flew in from Australia to Cyprus. The singer was not expecting his mother to greet him there and the emotion overwhelmed him.
A source said, “He was stunned to see his mum at the airport. She’s been really worried about him, especially as he’s lost so much weight. She wanted to see him for herself and comfort him. It was all too much for Pete and he just broke down.” Meanwhile Peter Andre’s estranged wife, Katie Price, who he’s filed divorce papers with is in Ibiza, partying up a storm.
While Peter Andre has the children in Cyprus, including Harvey, Katie Price’s first child, it’s obvious that Katie Price’s priorities are obscured by partying and fame. She’s the UK’s Britney Spears, in Britney’s crazy days.
Peter’s tears, even made me cry! I’m glad his mommy is with him.
