According to the source, the 20-acre area will provide visitors with all kinds of Harry-Potter-themed adventures from walking through rooms in Hogwards to flying with Hippogriff and buying all the necessary stuff for playing Quidditch.

Along those journeys [visitors]‘re going to be swept up into the greatest parts of the movies and the books. We’ve pushed every technology available to us to give guests a theme park experience unlike any they’ve had before,” Paul Daurio, producer of the Potter area, said.

jk-rowling-presidential-medal-of-freedom-scandal

Though George W Bush’s presidency is history now we’ll have enough to gossip about due to Matt Latimer’s scandalous memoir, Speechless: Tales Of A White House Survivor. In his book Bush’s former speech writer reveals some secrets of ex president and his administration.

While I’m not quite interested in getting deep into politics, I will only cover one of the scandalous and celebrity-related points of the book.

Harry Potter fans, are you ready?

According to Latimer, Harry Potter author JK Rowling lost U.S.’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom that acknowledges contributions to the U.S. national interest, world peace or cultural endeavors, because people in the administration considered her book dangerous for the society.

“Narrow thinking” led people to object to giving Rowling the medal because the Harry Potter books “encourage witchcraft.”

That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard today! If follow the pattern Twilight author promotes blood sucking. How lame.

Forbes Magazine listed author as the world’s best paid author – revealing what she rakes! Last year, the author penned the first installment Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in 1997.

J.K. Rowling is the No. 1 earner, by a wide margin: This year she made $300 million, whereas runner-up (center) only brought in one-sixth of that — $50 million. He begins a close run — Stephen King (right) is No. 3 with $45 million.

These are the bestselling 6 authors who made it to the Forbes list this year:

1. – $300M

2. – $50

3. Stephen King – $45 M

4. Tom Clancy – $35 M

5. Danielle Steel – $30 M

6. John Grisham tied with Dean Koontz – $25 M

Helping Hand JK Rowling

Looks like the next Harry Potter book will be inspired by the night where was wearing a purple dress which kept on slipping down on her breasts. She will name it “Harry Potter and the Helping Hand”.

The famous writer looked fabulous at the British Book Awards. She probably wanted to have the flashing scandal like Janet Jackson few years ago. But her publicist decided it was bad idea and put his hand just at the right moment. He got a handful.

  • Wings cut short, or sort of bdsm pleasure

  • You know I was just thinking about the things that make me vulnerable. Cause I personally hate this feeling, like being hanged in the air like being controlled from outside and unable to do my thing. Generally, who the hell was the first to come up with the idea of control? And the more important question, why do we need it? If I wanna do something I'll do it anyway and either way, and if I do it breaking some rules, escaping the CONTROL, then the feeling would just get better and the victory would just feel sweeter. So why do we need control and sort of submission it takes a long. What sort of bdsm pleasure is that supposed to give?

  • Stirring things up!

  • Did you ever provoke a fight with your guy? You love getting on his nerves because that makes him so obscure and funny – “cute” so we say. No, you’re not sadistic. Just the fact that after the make up, it feels so sweet to be the conqueror- to have the feeling of power! To feel the situation is under your control - to cause a fight and then to stop it. Isn’t it just so dramatically sweet to push the edges once in a while?

    I love pushing his triggers. Some may think I’m an evil witch, but I’m simply making our relationship tempered, exciting, resolute, pert.

    If you intentionally get into a fight with him – you are not sick in a head (and no, you’re not just a bitch). Scientists say that a healthy relationship is a relationship where there are arguments, and any argument needs a solution, right? That takes out our negative energy and brings us closer.

  • A Good bye to Ruslana

  • Prologue

    Once upon a time there was a little girl who was just like a real princess, but no one knew that she was a princess. She grew up and became a very successful model. She lived up on the Manhattan tower and had almost a prince like boyfriend. One day she got tired of others not seeing that princess inside her. Ruslana Korshunova killed herself. She jumped off that high evil tower.

    Parable

  • Breaking Rules

  • No matter how obvious it sounds most of the rules have been created long before us. By rules I mean systematized experience of previous generations, like handshakes and etiquette, and things like going for a social smoke. There is a rule that ladies go in first into any door except the elevator.

    But rules are a need for the sense of stability around one. Society needs rules to forecast the effect of a cause, to have at least some confidence of the future. And this is what disappoints people. This is when they lose their confidence because things appear not the way they expected them to be. Those who were really dependent on expectations suffer from facing the world that is unpredictable, that the rules they believed in didn’t work at some turning point.

    So they say that only fools learn through their own mistakes. Don’t you remember your mom telling you not to stick your tong out and put it against the metallic balcony railing when it’s freezing cold outside? Why did I skip my SPSS class with that macho from senior class? All of my friends were telling me he was a player and had nothing else in his head except for getting laid. Why do we learn things only after we go through them? This is what humans are like.

  • Be what You want to Be

  • What do you call it when you feel something against your will? When the call of that something inside you starts ripping your self - esteem in pieces while your consciousness tells you to stop.

    I never had it when I was a child.

    I always felt what I wanted and I always wanted that what I felt.

    Being used to getting what I want I am stuck. Stuck in the position like being lost in the desert. There’s nowhere to go. I can’t deny what I feel but I also can’t afford to feel it. It’s against my beliefs and values. Hum… fuck the beliefs. I don’t care.

    No more. The human mind is such control-freak. It kills me. And if I continue it will sound like a confession to you and this is the least I want to do.

  • Sex Agenda

  • Inspired by “fuck” conversation last Saturday, which is a very delicate subject.

    All of us, living in a fast growing temper of big cities are busy. We go to work, go to college full time, or have kids to take care of. There are plenty of things to do. When crazy week days are over we have yoga or tango classes, and shopping to do aside the chorus, french classes and getting a good sleep.

    When is there time for sex?

    The right answer would be - there is always time for sex. But the stress and busyness lead some couples to pencil their intimacy. It is logical, simple and hot to know that your schedule after works has a mark “Ryan 8 pm”. It is exciting to feel the anticipation, but on the other hand do we feel it is comfortable to set up our special moments with an important person for us on a basis of a scheduled task? It seems awkward to plan it, it is out of style, especially for femme-fatale like me, but even when sex is spontaneous, in every woman's head it is always planned. (wink!)
