“She definitely had some work done on her nose and chin. She already had so much done, I hope she’s not going for the Lil Kim look,” one said.

“The boob job was tasteful because it fit her body but the chin injections/implant looks incredibly fake and she got a cookie cutter nose job,” said one fan.

EU Plans Military Response To Migrant Crisis - Another rotten fruit of the failed Obama/Clinton/Kerry Libya policy.

Saudi Arabia Advertises For Eight New Executioners To Handle Rise In Beheadings - They could a TV show and call it something like "So You Think You Can Execute?" And now, due to the failed Obama/Clinton/Kerry foreign policy, they're shopping for a bomb from Pakistan. And the one thing they do have is enough money.
