President Barack Obama sings 'Sweet Home Chicago' - videoo

Oh lord, he's at it again. It seems like Barack Obama's had enough of this politics lark and has found his true calling as an entertainer.

Little over a month after belting out Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together' during a public appearance, the commander-in-chief once again took centre stage at a blues night in the White House (who knew that was a thing?) with a cover of the classic 'Sweet Home Chicago'.

In his bid to turn the 2012 presidential race into American Idol, Obama even managed to overshadow the likes of BB King, Buddy Guy and Mick Jagger - who needs policies when you've got that kind of stage presence?

The full White House gig will air on February 27 on PBS. It'd be a federal crime to miss it.

Porn education curriculum called for in schools

A sex education expert has called for porn education in high schools.

Debbie Ollis, who works at Deakin University in Australia, claimed that it was necessary to inform children about pornography after a survey found that 92% of boys and 61% of girls aged 13 to 16 have been exposed to adult material, reports the Geelong Advertiser.

She stated: "The internet is being used as a sex education tool without the expertise of an educator or more appropriate content to teach kids about intimacy, about desire, about safety - all those sort of issues."

Furthermore, Ollis revealed that she has worked on a curriculum that covers and explains pornography: "Somehow, we've got to prepare them to be able to deconstruct and understand what they're seeing, and to realise that most of these images aren't the reality of life."

Pornography researcher Marree Crabbe added that the majority of porn shows aggression towards women.

She commented: "It's normalising particular sex acts that we know women in the real world not only don't enjoy, but may also find painful, humiliating and degrading."

According to Crabbe, the average age at which children are exposed to pornographic material is 11.

Installed Quicktime on Firefox but There Is No Sound

You installed Quicktime on Firefox but there is no sound.

There are two reasons for this:

1. Webpages are written in HTML and the code orders that ".mp3", ".wav "and so on, will be played by Windows Media Player (WMP).

2. WMP is set as the default device to play all media.

Quicktime is seldom chosen by PC users as the default device but it is necessary to install Quicktime in Firefox because some webpages direct that Quicktime must play the film clip in the webpage. When Firefox is freshly installed and it detects any media in a webpage it asks whether you want to load Quicktime. This is despite the fact that it really wants WMP.

Download Quicktime for Firefox here - QUICKTIME

Download the Firefox WMP plugin here - WMP

You may have to go to the Download folder, either the one in C: or the one in the user folder (your name), and double click "QuickTimeInstaller.exe" and "wmpfirefoxplugin.exe" files to install Quicktime and WMP.

Chris Brown and CM Punk

If you thought Tweeting birthday wishes to Rihanna was the most talked-about thing Chris Brown would do all day on social media, you thought wrong!
WWE heavyweight champion CM Punk and the hot-tempered R&B singer have been going at it on Twitter. It's safe to say you could call punk a "hater."
Punk randomly tweeted that he wants to "curb stomp" Brown at an upcoming WWE event, so Brown can "fight somebody that can defend themselves."
Brown caught wind of the tweet ... and decided to fire back.
He wrote: "@CMpunk needs more followers. Such a leader! Not to mention the roids hes on has made it utterly impossible for him pleasure a women."
Zing.
In his typical, sarcastic tone, Chris went on to add, "@CMpunk contact my assistant and I'll have em send u an autographed pic for my biggest FAN!!!"
Seriously, Chris, please put the phone down, man. Why do you think the "haters" won't let you move on? You're just making it worse on yourself. CHILL.

Chris' tweet about Punk's junk not working has obviously been removed. Something tells us Brown's mom is going to be far from pleased about this.
CM Punk, who has said that he's never taken drugs, has not responded to the steroid allegations or the implication that he can't please "a women."
Also no word on whether Chris accepts this fight invite:

Who will walk away with SRK – Katrina or Anushka?

Shah Rukh Khan’s next film with Yash Chopra co-starring two beauties – Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma – is one of the most anticipated movies of the year. Apart from the magic that SRK is bound to create with Yash Chopra, the film is special for several reasons. For one, Yashji returns as director after a long time. Secondly, SRK will be romancing two ladies in it, one of who happens to be his arch rival Salman’s ex girlfriend!

However, now there is one more reason why the film is different from other romances. Apparently the director has decided to keep the conclusion of this love triangle a secret, not just from the world, but also from the stars! Neither Katrina nor Anushka know who Shah Rukh Khan will walk away with at the end.
A source close to the project told a tabloid, "Nobody knows who is going to get SRK in the end, except Aditya and Yash Chopra. Shah Rukh hasn’t been told either though he is the leading man!”

Apparently, Khan has been persistently asking Chopra to let him into the secret but he hasn't relented, yet. Insiders also say that perhaps Chopra didn’t want to revisit the situation of his old film ‘Daag’, where Raakhee and Sharmila were constantly at loggerheads over Rajesh Khanna. In this case, Shah Rukh shares a great rapport with Anushka having starred with her in her debut film ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ but he is working with Katrina for the first time.

The film, sources say, is a love story set in London where the three actors play contemporary working-class characters. Katrina apparently has one of the most challenging roles of her career.

When contact Kat tried to brush it off saying she simply enjoyed the thought of being a Yash Chopra heroine. But we are dying to know who SRK will choose in the end!
