Perez Labeled a 'Pedophile' for Hyping Pic of Demi Moore's Teen Daughter
Perez Hilton is a pedophile! Demi Moore is a horrible mother! Tallulah Willis is being exploited! Kirstie Alley is calling her lawyer! Wait, what?
It was just another glimpse into the world of Twitter-mad celebs on Thursday evening as Demi Moore lashed out forcefully at blogger Perez Hilton for a weeks-old photo he linked to showing her 15-year-old daughter Tallulah baring a bit of cleavage.
After a tweet about her electrical power being out, Moore began to question Hilton's motives and integrity for linking to the photo some weeks ago. "Let me ask all of you, what is it called when someone is telling people to look and focus on a child's "boobs & ass" while providing photos?" she asked, then answered, "That's called child pornography."
The tit-for-tat flame war then began between Moore and Hilton himself, who responded, "That is clearly not child porn ... I would not let my 15 year old daughter dress like that under ANY context. You are delusional and slightly senile!"
Hilton called Moore's charge that he's a smut-peddler "libelous, defamatory, inaccurate and stupid" ... and openly pondered seeking legal action. "She is the one breaking the law" he yelled.
Enter Kirstie Alley
Not long after the "discussion" began between Moore and Hilton, 'Cheers' alum and Moore's buddy Kirstie Alley decided to turn up the volume with some tweets of her own: "Please help Demi Moore get this guy branded what he really is ... a PEDOPHILE ... I'm gonna have his nasty little ass followed.."
"You are a child pornographer. I VOW TO TAKE YOU DOWN. legally ... keep up your vile behavior and I will make your sorry ass sorrier."
This was clearly a "poke the bear, find out what happens" moment as Hilton then began directing his anger towards Alley.
"Call me immature, unfunny, fat, ugly, stupid. But I'm not a pedophile. I'm not a rapist. And I'm not a child porn activist! ... This is another libelous, defamatory statement you are making against me!!!"
Hilton then made some defamatory statements about Alley, saying "I think all your past drug use, which you've admitted to, has damaged your brain. You should get that checked out!"

City Workers Banned From Facebook -- After Spending 572 Hours On It
It's no secret that Facebook is productivity's biggest enemy. With all those gifts to send, games to play, and friends to stalk, there's no time for work once you log in to the social networking site. While many offices and schools have caught onto this, it took one British city council a little longer than most.
According to The Daily Mail, the Portsmouth City Council recently banned the staff of 4,500 at its town hall from using Facebook, after discovering that employees spent an average of 413 hours per month perusing the site. Not only were these Brits spending a jaw-dropping amount of time logged-in, but they were also logging in often -- about 270,000 times a month. Things really spiraled out of control this past July, when the staff totaled 572 hours and 38 minutes, or 71 working days, on Facebook, even though they were only supposed to visit the site during lunch or after work. That's taxpayers' money hard at work, folks.
While the site has been blocked, the staff can apply to access Facebook only if it's necessary to complete their job (although it'd be hard to imagine too many instances where this would apply). This ban is a commendable effort by the local government, but the council shouldn't forget that there are plenty of other ways to waste time on the Internet -- Youtube, Hulu, eBay, Switched...
