Many entrepreneurs fail to raise money from investors because the entrepreneur fails to offer something customers will pay for. The entrepreneur is so focused on the idea, that he loses sight of whether the idea is good. This is the legendary SLAP Solution Looking for A Problem that we’ve all...
AAH, THE boy-on-boy crush. Forget whether they're into redheads or blondes, little is more instructive as to what makes a man tick than a glimpse at the guys he secretly wants a piece of. Not in a sexual way, it's more of an aspirational, slap-on-the-back impulse. Let's call it a...
He was still catching his breath, though it was hard to tell if that was due to exertion or exhilaration. All around Ute kicker Louie Sakoda there was commotion. A regular party-down moment. Teammates pelted him with back-slaps following the Utes' win at Michigan...
IT'S rare that I praise councils about their parking enforcement, but hats off to Westminster Council.

I'VE experienced tantrums, tiaras and a bit of stiletto stomping at showbiz parties, but I was shocked to be SLAPPED in the face by Kelly Osbourne on Thursday night. Yes, really. The spoilt, self-righteous daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne approached me in full-view of my...
THIS week's dry slap goes to GMTV's Kate Garraway for that disturbing picture of her with a calf apparently nuzzling her breast. Talk about poor taste! It's supposed to promote her documentary about feeding babies other people's breast milk. But it's up there in vulgarity stakes with slapper Rebecca Loos...
WE can be heroes - one look at solid gold Chris Hoy basking in glory on an open-top bus says it all. But we can also be zeroes. Ask that arrogant little twerp, Celtic striker Derek Riordan. Just as Scotland's greatestever Olympian is being honoured in...
Fussy Kian Egan doesn't like fiancee Jodi Albert, left, to wear make-up. The Westlife singer prefers the stunning actress to go with the natural look when they go out. "He tells me that my natural look is much nicer," said Jodie, 25. And this from a man who wears more...
MONDAY I wish people would stop sending in complaints about the cost of hotels in Birmingham. I am not the English Tourist Board! But as we're on the subject, let's be clear -- the point of having conference there is not to save money, or have fun. It's...

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed a retaliatory-harassment and unlawful-discharge complaint against Verizon on behalf of a former employee who claims that her co-workers brought the stop-snitching mentality of the streets into the workplace. From the toy rat left to dangle from the ceiling to the red paint with...
Now the lawyers are cashing in on Pennsylvania's slap-dash entrance into slots gambling. Several attorneys for the state Gaming Control Board have left their jobs only to quickly turn around and represent the casino interests they used to regulate.

YAHYA JAMMEH'S recent threat to "cut off the head" of any gay person in Gambia isn't that outlandish. Jammeh, a former wrestler who's ruled the mostly Muslim nation since 1994, has a history of making sensational statements--including a declaration last year that he could cure AIDS. That may...
Despite having received a slap on the wrist and a €10,000 fine for his part in the controversial pit-stop incident with Adrian Sutil in the European Grand Prix at the weekend, Felipe Massa has insisted he was blameless - instead pointing the finger firmly at his rival. The...
THIS week's dry slap goes to drunken thugette Lily Allen. If she's not rat-arsed and falling out of a nightclub, she's brawling in the street. And for this, she gets her own TV show. Great role- model for young girls. Just shows you how far a lowlife hooligan can get...
