| Antigua worth knowing
ENGLISH HARBOUR, ANTIGUA: The island with 365 powdery-sand beaches, one for each day of the year, is one of the least-known Caribbean islands to most Americans. But two Brits, Adm. Horatio Nelson and guitarist Eric Clapton, were and are very familiar with Antigua, a former British colony that is popular with yachters and the the nautical crowd. Nelson commanded the British naval base and shipyard at English Harbour on the island's southern coast in the 1780s. His dockyard no longer caters to naval ships. Instead, it serves sailing ships and yachts. Clapton has built his $8 million house along the rocky southern shore not far from English Harbour, as well as a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. Antigua has been a second home to Clapton. English Harbour is one of the top tourist hubs on Antigua, along with Dickenson Bay on the north coast.

UPDATE: Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman have a baby ...
I figured the mother's of the people responsible for Superficial sent their little babies to 'sleepy time' around seven in the evening. Yay. I really am not looking foward to all these new celebrity babies. People have children all the time and it's no big deal, admittedly. To the parents, yeah, it's huge having a baby, whatever -- because people just can't believe that they reproduce -- it's absolutely amazing! Sure, breeder. You put your genitals together and what did ya' think would happen? By the way, other people could care less about your baby. It's your child. Just; and who fucking cares? No, Dick, you just don't understand! You just don't get it. Yes, for once you're right. I don't understand the importance; thank god! Celebrities are the worst too, because they somehow think that they're heroes for having children.
