Ashanti stopped by the Today show to talk with Hoda Kotb and guest host, Nick Lachey. Ashanti came with her mother, who is her manager. Ashanti talked about the new PSA for the Boys & Girls club. She also talked about what it takes to make it in the music business.
Ashanti says, "I think you have to have passion and drive. You have to understand it's about rejection. You are going to rejected way more than your accepted. You have to be determined and believe in yourself despite the haters. There's always going to be someone you can't do it. You can have to just follow your dreams and be intense and hungry."

But it turns out that another co-worker feels just the same way about Arlene (the always hilarious Bill Hader). Melissa is absolutely fearless. She really goes there and she's just a scream.

| Mexico City Proposes to Institute 2 Year Term Marriages
02.10.2011 23:00 2 views 0 comments
From:
www.shoppingblog.com
A law has been proposed in Mexico
City to allow term marriage, such
as for two years. All terms are
decided before the marriage, such
as division of assets and
custody of children. At the end of
two years, the marriage ends unless
the couple decides to renew the
contract. The divorce rate is
quite high in Mexico City, so
proponents say this will
decrease the congestion in the courts
and reduce divorce rates. The Catholic
Church is vehemently opposed to the
idea, but Mexico City has already
approved same sex marriages despite
the church's opposition.
CNN's Nadia Bilchik and TJ Holmes
talk about the proposed new statute:

| Cigarette Vending Machines Banned in England
02.10.2011 21:00 0 views 0 comments
From:
www.shoppingblog.com
A ban on cigarette vending machines began in England yesterday. The British Heart Foundation (BHF) says 200,000 young people start smoking regularly in England each year. The BHF also says 11% of 11- to 15-year-old regular smokers in England and Wales get their cigarettes from vending machines.
BHF Director of Policy and Communications, Betty McBride, said, "Thousands of children who are at risk of addiction regularly get tobacco from these machines, which of course, conveniently don't ask them to prove their age. These children are often blissfully unaware of the damage smoking does to their health, and by the time they realise, they're hooked. Scrapping these machines cuts off an easy source of tobacco for existing young smokers and makes it harder for a new generation to start."
The BBC reports that anyone caught selling cigarettes in a vending machine will face a fine of 2,500 pounds, which is about $4,000 U.S.
