Procter & Gamble's Issue: Some Of Their Products May Be Contaminated With Filth!
Procter & Gamble is a multinational manufacturer of consumer goods ranging from over-the-counter drugs to disposable diapers.The FDA issued a warning to the company about the "unsanitary conditions" that some of their products have been processed in.A whole lot of people buy their products,so this is quite alarming!Here's more from The AP:
"U.S. regulators warned Procter & Gamble Co. over unsanitary conditions at a plant that makes Olay skin care products and Vicks cold medicine in Puerto Rico, according to a letter released Tuesday.
The warning letter from the Food and Drug Administration said problems at the Olay LLC plant in Cayey may have caused contamination or threatened the health of consumers. It faulted failures in following procedures for cleaning maintenance equipment.
An inspection found over-the-counter drug products have been "prepared, packed and held under unsanitary conditions whereby they may have been contaminated with filth or rendered injurious to health," said the letter.
Paul Fox, a spokesman for Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble, said none of the issues raised by the FDA compromised the safety of any products.
But he said FDA inspectors did identify areas "where we can and will make improvements," and the company has begun a review of the plant's manufacturing practices."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
Kelis Has Decided To Divorce Nas,Even Though She's 7 Months Pregnant!
When I heard that Kelis was dissolving her marriage to Nas,I immediately thought about the fact that she is 7 months pregnant! Believe me,your hormones are all over the place when you are carrying a new life. I couldn't help but wonder if that had anything to do with it.
Whatever the reason,it's just too bad that Kelis & Nas couldn't make their black love last.According to TMZ,she is asking for both spousal & child support.In addition to that,she wants joint physical & legal support.Here's more from Vibe:
"One of hip hop’s most talked about married couples have split. VIBE has confirmed that Nas and Kelis are headed for a divorce. “I can confirm that she has filed for divorce,” a spokesperson for Kelis told VIBE. “We request the media to respect her privacy during this very difficult time.” At around 3:45pm PST, high-powered attorney Laura Wasser (who has also represented Britney Spears, Angelina Jolie, and Stevie Wonder) filed a divorce petition today on behalf of Kelis, citing irreconciable differences. The bombshell comes amid recent reports that the acclaimed rhymer and influential R&B vixen were expecting their first child together—a son. Kelis is currently seven months pregnant.
It was only last February when Nas spoke excitedly to MTV about the prospect of having a baby with Kelis. “Yeah, man, I find out what it's gonna be next week, so I'm happy," said the multiplatinum rapper, who also has a 15-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.
Nas and Kelis first met in 2002 at a MTV Video Music Awards afterparty thrown by hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

The Assassination Attempt On The Dutch Royal Family Was Astonishing To Watch!
Apparently,a financially distressed Dutchman tried to kill the Dutch royal family with his car during the Queen's Day festivies in the Netherlands!His car just missed the open bus that was carrying the royal family,but six people died in the process.The whole thing was so astonishing & horrifying to watch.And it all unfolded right on live television.Here's more from the Telegraph:
"His vehicle narrowly missed a bus carrying the royal family as it careered into the crowd before hitting a stone monument.
The black Suzuki appeared to target the open bus, which was carrying Queen Beatrix and her family through the town of Apeldoorn, about 55 miles from Amsterdam, during the Queen's Day festivities.
The driver, a white 38-year-old Dutchman, had reportedly lost his job as a security officer a few months ago and was about to be evicted from his apartment in the town of Huissen, near Utrecht, because he could no longer pay the rent.
He was photographed slumped against his seat with blood on his forehead, before being pulled from the wreckage of the car and then arrested and taken to hospital.
Before his death he had confessed to police that his action was aimed against the royal family.
"He was a normal, polite man who lived a very quiet and secluded life," a neighbour told De Telegraaf newspaper.
His car smashed through railings and careered through crowds of people waiting to see the royals, killing five, injuring 14 and sending others running for their lives.
Witnesses said the vehicle was travelling at up to 60mph and missed the royal bus by less than 15ft. It eventually slammed into black metal railings at the foot of a stone monument, where it came to a halt, its bonnet crumpled and scraped.
Television footage showed members of the royal family, riding in the open top bus, clutch their hands to their mouths in shock as the car sped through a barricade in front of them.
Princess Maxima, the wife of the heir to the Dutch throne, Crown Prince Willem-Alexander, leapt up in her seat and looked on in horror as the car hurtled through crowds of bystanders.
No one in the queen's entourage was injured during the incident, which happened around midday as thousands enjoyed the Spring sunshine."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
