Jemima Khan Angry on Tiwtter Allegations
Jemima Khan Angry on Tiwtter Allegations
Jemima Khan said she was "trapped in a bloody nightmare" after finding herself at the center of false twitter allegations that she had an affair with Jeremy Clarkson.
hen Jemima Khan tweeted a denial that she had taken out a super-injunction to suppress pictures of herself with Jeremy Clarkson, she unwittingly poured petrol on the flames of the growing row over how Twitter is being used to get round gagging orders being taken out by the rich and famous.
Her first tweet at the weekend ran: "OMG - Rumour that I have a super injunction preventing publication of "intimate" photos of me and Jeremy Clarkson. NOT TRUE!"
Then: "I have no super injunction and I had dinner with Jeremy and his wife last night. Twitter, Stop!" On Monday morning, she tweeted again: "I've woken up trapped in a bloody nightmare."
By then, she was responding to stories in newspapers and other media - including BBC News - that a Twitter user had named several stars that had taken out super-injunctions.
The Daily Mail splashed the story on its front page: "Gagging law stars 'outed' on Twitter: Thousands see the names of celebrities alleged to have taken out injunctions."
The Daily Telegraph printed pictures of Khan and Clarkson on its front page under the headline "Gagging order? Not me, says Jemima."
Some experts professed surprise that the naming of super-injunction stars had suddenly become such a big story.
The BBC's Rory Cellan-Jones, on his personal Twitter feed, wrote: "Rather weird that Twitter has been alive with super-injunction details for weeks - but one new account with inaccurate reports is news."
This was picked up in turn by Roy Greenslade in his Guardian blog: "The sudden discovery that the names of various people whose identities are protected by injunctions are available on Twitter is baffling. Names - some accurate, many inaccurate - have been flying around the net for weeks."

Son writes off dad's £275,000 supercar
Son writes off dad's £275,000 supercar
20-year-old writes off dad's £275,000 supercar
It's never pleasant telling someone you've crashed their car - but imagine telling dad you've just written off his £275,000 Gumpert Apollo.
That's what a 20-year-old German man has to do - after he was lucky to escape with his life.
The man, who has not been named, was driving his father's rare supercar when he lost control of it. A 19-year-old girl was with him in the passenger seat.
Amazingly, both escaped with only minor injuries, despite the car being a complete write off.
The driver lost control of the car on a bend and came off the road, spraying parts of the car up to 100-foot away.
Police are currently investigating if excessive speed caused the crash, which happened in the German town of Brokdorf, around 50 miles north of Hamburg. The road has a 50mph limit.
The Gumpert Apollo is famous in Britain for taking the Top Gear track lap record in 2008, with a time of 1:17.1. The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and the Ariel Atom V8 have since usurped it.
The Apollo has a 225mph top speed and is powered by a 4.2-litre twin turbo V8 engine, from Audi. Three versions are available: a basic one with 641bhp, a Sport version with 690bhp and a Race version with 789bhp. It's capable of hitting 62mph in under three seconds.

America's Most Miserable Cities 2011
America's Most Miserable Cities 2011
Arnold Schwarzenegger was sworn in as the governor of California at the end of 2003 amid a wave of optimism that his independent thinking and fresh ideas would revive a state stumbling after the recall of Gov. Gray Davis.
The good vibes are a distant memory: The Governator exited office last month with the state facing a crippling checklist of problems including massive budget deficits, high unemployment, plunging home prices, rampant crime and sky-high taxes. Schwarzenegger's approval ratings hit 22% last year, a record low for any sitting California governor.
California's troubles helped it land eight of the 20 spots on our annual list of America's Most Miserable Cities, with Stockton ranking first for the second time in three years.
No. 5: Sacramento, Calif.
No state taxes $50,000 of income like California, with a rate of 9.55% for that middle-class tax bracket. Sacramento is a one-team sports town, and that team has been awful in recent years. The NBA's Kings have won just 26% of their games the past two-plus seasons.
No. 4: Modesto, Calif.
The median home was valued at $275,000 in 2006; today it is $95,000. And don't leave your car on the street in Modesto, where 3,712 vehicles were stolen in 2009, making for the second-highest auto theft rate in the country. It ranked first in four of the previous five years.
No. 3: Merced, Calif.
The economic downturn and busted housing market hit Merced harder than any other area in the country. Average unemployment of 16.2% since 2008 is the highest in the U.S., as is the city's 64% drop in median home prices
No. 2: Miami, Fla.
The sun and lack of a state income tax are the only things keeping Miami out of the top spot. Foreclosures hit one in 14 homes last year. Corruption is also off the charts, with 404 government officials convicted of crimes this decade in South Florida.
No. 1: Stockton, Calif.
Unemployment has averaged 14.3% the past three years, which is third worst in the country among the 200 largest metro areas. The housing market collapsed as well, with home prices down 58% over the same time. All the California cities on the list are struggling with the inherent problems the state is facing, including high sales and income taxes and service cuts to help close massive budget shortfalls.

Country music would make a good boyfriend
So I flipped on the radio today and have been on a Bob Dylan kick, so I switched to my country radio station and immediately found myself smiling, daydreaming, tapping my hands on the steering wheel... I don't know why this was happening. It was like I heard a silent Pavlovian bell in the drums beats of the song and guitar twang and endorphins started running through me. I do normally listen to some country, I don't stereotype any music, & THIS SONG was what did it to me:
I know the lyrics in country music aren't hard to decipher or interpret like a tori amos or shins song, but I appreciate country's ability to give me an emotion that is simple and happy. Sometimes too many "deep introspective poetry infused imagery induced songs" make me think too much. I start questioning the meaning of life, my love life, life's little mysteries, to be or not to be, etc... I absolutely LOVE poetic and beautiful lyrics, but sometimes I want to simply hear a song like Keith Urban's "You look good in my shirt", cause man it would be nice if someday a guy really thought that, or Kenny Chesney's "We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly young", and Jessica Andrew's "Just one stop at the ATM grab a hundred bucks and a real good friend", one-liner from her song "Good Time". This does not include depressing "emo" caliber country songs that talk about drowning in whiskey bottles and having all my exes live in Texas..... But even THOSE songs have an up-front way of getting their pain across.... no davinci coding, WTFs from those guys.......
Country music, if morphed into human form, would definitely make a great boyfriend. It's no-nonsense, to the point, simple, romantic in a bearable cheese factor level, climatic (I'm talking about the choruses! dirty dirty) and full of life. He could kill bugs & serenade me to sleep with a guitar. He would question my need from "Madden" shoes, wondering when Joe Madden converted to a shoe stylist, but it wouldn't matter. He would love me for the simple things. For me, dating "country" would be ideal right now in my life. I've been with the "Indie/Folk" genre, "Classic Rock", even the unclassifiable "Maroon5/Third Eye Blind/Goo Goo Dolls" bores, and I was not impressed. So bring on a guy like country music and I'm sure I'll be smiling, daydreaming, having fun, without trying to interpret anything. Ye haw.
