Porno or promo? 'SNL' host Galifianakis confused

TV

5 hours ago

Zach Galifianakis is hosting "Saturday Night Live" this weekend and, although it's his third time taking on the gig, he is apparently still confused about what's required of him as host.

In the best clip, the "Hangover III" wears just a bathrobe, telling "SNL" star Jason Sudeikis he's come prepared to shoot the "pornos" for the show. When a confused Sudeikis informs him that he'll be shooting promos, not pornos, to spread the word of his appearance on the show, a disappointed Galifianakis opens his robe, asking Sudeikis, "How am I going to showcase this then?"

"You must have very small feet," Sudekis remarks of getting a gander of what's under the robe.

"I'm a ladies' size 6," Galifianakis replies proudly.

The full promo reel (above) features four "goof-about clips," all of which showcase Galifianakis' signature strange sense of humor. The last time Galifianakis took control of the "SNL" stage, he earned rave reviews from viewers and critics for his opening monologue, which featured a hilarious musical performance to the song "Tomorrow," while he danced around in Annie's trademark red dress, along with a pair of pink undies.

Will Galifianakis be able to top his previous "Saturday Night Live" hosting performances? If the promos are any indication of what to expect, viewers may be in for a treat -- and some tips on how to get a great Justin-Bieber-themed manicure.

The musical guest on Saturday is Of Monsters and Men.

First black Italian minister seeks cultural change

ROME (AP) ? Italy's first black Cabinet minister, targeted by racist slurs following her appointment last week, said Friday that Italians aren't racist but that some are merely ignorant of other cultures and the "richness" that immigration can bring.

Congolese-born surgeon Cecile Kyenge held a news conference to introduce herself to Italians so they could get to know her.

"I am not 'colored.' I am black. It's important to say that. I emphasize it proudly," she said.

Kyenge's appointment as integration minister had been hailed as a big step for Italy, which has only recently had to cope with waves of immigration and the resulting problems of integration into a largely homogeneous society.

But the move prompted racist taunts from xenophobic politicians and members of neo-fascist Internet groups ? a reaction so vile the government authorized its anti-discrimination office to investigate. (One European parliamentarian from the anti-immigrant Northern League party called her a member of a "bongo bongo government.")

One of her chief defenders, lower house speaker Laura Boldrini, told La Repubblica in an interview posted on its website Friday that she herself has been the target of death threats, which began after she stated publicly that Italy's laws about inciting racial hatred on the Internet should be tightened.

Boldrini showed the newspaper hundreds of printed pages containing the threats that she said showed "'sexist aggression" against her personally, and women in public office in general, ranging from the innocuous to the violent.

"I am not afraid to open a battle front, if necessary," Boldrini was quoted as saying. "Will we give visibility to a group of fanatics? Yes, it's true. But they are not a few, there are thousands and thousands. They are growing every day and they constitute a part of the country that we cannot ignore."

Kyenge, in her comments, thanked her defenders, but refrained from lashing out at her detractors. She stressed that Italy has a long tradition of welcoming foreigners and that that tradition must be appreciated anew and applied in daily life.

"In reality, Italy isn't a racist country," she told reporters. The problem, she said, is ignorance of the "other."

"We need to knock down these walls: Until you know the other, skepticism grows, discrimination grows," she said. "At this point, what is identified as racism has at its base not knowing other cultures. Because in reality, immigration is a richness. Diversity is a resource."

Kyenge, 48, was born in Congo and moved to Italy three decades ago to study medicine. An eye surgeon, she lives in Modena with her Italian husband and two children. She was active in local center-left politics before winning a seat in the lower Chamber of Deputies in February elections, and Premier Enrico Letta brought her into his coalition government last week.

"We hope she will start a new era for Italy, let's hope!" said Kaius Ikejezie, a Nigerian shopping at Rome's Piazza Vittorio market on Friday.

Kyenge has said her priority would be to work to make it easier for children born in Italy to immigrant parents to obtain Italian citizenship. Currently, such children can only apply when they are 18.

"We have people who are born and raised in Italy who don't have an identity," she said. "They don't feel Italian and they don't feel that they belong to their parents' homeland. We need to start from here."

She offered her own experience as an example of the discrimination that confronts non-Italians living here legally and able to contribute to society: Despite having finished at the top of her class in medical school, Kyenge said she couldn't get work in an Italian hospital for two years because she wasn't a citizen.

"I have always fought against any form of discrimination and racism," she said. But she is realistic too of the limitations of her office, the requirements for a "cultural change" and the precariousness of a government made up of longtime political rivals.

"It could be that today I leave the ministry unable to get any results," she said. "But I have to be able to put in place a basis for all those changes that are so longed-for, for all those dreams."

Unlike France, which has had two or more generations of immigrants and several ministers of African origin, Italy is a relative newcomer to immigration. Foreigners made up about 2 percent of Italy's population in 1990; currently the figure stands at 7.5 percent, according to official statistics bureau Istat.

Libya to help ease Egypt crisis with $1.2 bln oil deal

By Jessica Donati and Ghaith Shennib

TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Libya will soon start shipping oil to neighbouring Egypt on soft credit terms, two senior Libyan officials said, as Cairo struggles to pay for energy imports and avoid fuel shortages.

The officials told Reuters that Tripoli would supply Cairo with $1.2 billion worth of crude at world prices but on interest free credit for a year, with the first cargo expected to arrive next month.

Egypt has slid into economic crisis since president Hosni Mubarak was overthrown two years ago. Most international companies have reduced oil product supplies to the country fearing non-payments, as the government tries to curb soaring energy subsidy costs which swallow up a fifth of its budget.

Libya plans to ship one to two cargoes a month for refining in Egypt under a deal that involves 12 million barrels of crude over 12 months, the oil industry officials said.

With foreign currency reserves running low, Egypt has not bought any crude on the open market since January. In rough terms the Libyan deal would be worth slightly more than half its 2012 imports, which the central bank put at $2 billion.

"Their situation is very bad, and if necessary they can take up to a year to pay (for each delivery)," said one of the Libyan officials.

Libyan authorities themselves face a daily struggle to keep services running and take control of a country awash with weapons looted from the arsenal of Muammar Gaddafi, who was toppled in 2011.

But the official said Libya could not shy away from helping an important trading partner. "If you are a good neighbour and something is wrong with your neighbour, you will not feel comfortable with yourself. It's human nature," he said.

Cairo has so far failed to agree a $4.8 billion loan deal with the International Monetary Fund and has sought help from energy producing countries in the region and beyond.

Tripoli has already deposited $2 billion at the Egyptian central bank and Qatar has announced $8 billion in loans, grants and other deposits since Islamist President Mohamed Mursi was elected last June.

WORLD PRICES

Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) declined immediate comments on the details of the deal, although one of the oil industry officials said it would supply Sirteca, the cheapest of all the country's grades. "Shipments will be sold at world prices," said the second Libyan official.

An official at the Egyptian oil ministry confirmed some of the deal's terms. "(It will be) one million barrels a month and deferred payment for 12 months without interest starting from the first half of May, God willing," the official told Reuters.

However, the official maintained that the two sides were still discussing the kind of crude oil to be supplied and how long the shipments would last. The Libyan officials said that if the first cargo was sent next month as planned, they would last until April 2014.

The Libyan deal should ease the problems of Egypt, which owes at least $5 billion to oil companies, half of it overdue.

Cairo aims to raise prices of subsidised energy gradually, bringing them close to world levels in four years, to reduce the burden on its huge budget deficit. In the short term, it wants to avoid arousing more social unrest by ensuring energy supplies during the approaching summer when energy consumption peaks.

Libya has already shown willingness to step back into its old role as North Africa's version of a Gulf petro-state by using cash to open doors.

Libya's new rulers authorised a payment of almost $200 million to Mauritania after it extradited Gaddafi's former spy chief Abdullah al-Senussi last year, although they later denied there was a quid pro quo.

Diplomats and analysts have also suggested Libya's growing support may help persuade Egypt to hand over Gaddafi's cousin Ahmed Gaddaf Alddam, who was arrested in Cairo in March.

Egypt sent two other ex-Gaddafi officials to Libya last month but barred the extradition of Gaddaf Alddam, who is claiming Egyptian citizenship. Libya is appealing the Egyptian court ruling.

Dear Struggling Marketer,

If you are reading this right now I can only assume you are interested in learning how to build a list in order for your business to grow and start producing some results with dollar signs at the end.

While building your list is crucial to the success of your business, it?s also a pain in the tail if you don?t know what to do in order for it to work to your advantage.

There are tons of marketers out there with great sites and great stuff to offer, but they just don?t have anyone to present it to. Time and time again I have seen people come and go.

Let me say this, it?s obvious that value dripping off this offer, but there are some other things that are obvious as well.

It?s obvious that if you don?t take action now and put forth the first foot to make the step of learning about list building, you?re never going to find out and you will never succeed. Point blank.

If you want your business successful you got to learn this stuff. I wish I could tell you another way, but there isn?t one. This is it and you have to learn. There is no easy way, let?s face it, but there is a right way and I?m going to show you.

Now, there are tons of products available on the market today that claim to offer step-by -step instructions and then you find yourself with a something that only explains the steps and doesn?t really ?show? you how too? making it as useless as a car with no wheels.

Now, you could go out and pay for training one on one, but get ready to drop some cash?I mean a lot! Some advisers charge $200 dollars and more per hour for their two cents. And then you got to figure out if you are going to pay someone to create your sites for you once you learn all this stuff. Get ready to spend hundreds and even thousands if you take that option.

Good luck with that! If you can profit after spending that much by doing that, more power to you!:) But WHY do all that? I?m giving you the opportunity that you need, you just have to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty with me.

Now, I know what you?re guessing this video course has got to have a hefty price tag. Well I did take into consideration what it does cost in the real world for all of what I am offering.

I thought about that and instantly knew I could easily ask $67. I could even ask $97 on any given day for this course and still make people faint from price value! Then I finally decided what I thought would be a great offer! Help someone who is just trying to get on their feet and learn about list building without breaking their bank!
So, I decided to give you this once in a lifetime chance to own this incredible video course for a wicked low price of only..

?

There are a ton of people who have had success using these same methods I am offering to teach you?including myself.

However, I know making decisions sometimes can leave you wondering what the pros and cons are and if this is right for you.

Well, I am so confident in this product that if for any reason whatsoever if you feel like this has not made an impact on your life, change the way you do list building, and you feel this course hasn?t help you? I will simply give you your money back! No questions ask.

And this isn?t a guarantee for a week or 10 days, not even 30 days?I?m giving you a FULL 60 Day Money Back Guarantee!

By now it should be hard for you to say no based on what I offering and the benefits including the risk free money back guarantee.

I?m sure you would agree that for the small price I am asking for this I?m giving you the chance to get this at a ridiculous rate, but with this guarantee included, some would say I?m down right insane!

I disagree and say it?s total confidence in this course I?m offering and I?m certain you will agree too once you get this valuable information.

?

?

Look, putting this off is not something you want to do. Hoping things are going to change for the better sounds good and all, but the reality is that?s not going to happen.

You can end the aggravation and frustration you are dealing with when it comes to building a client base with this video course I have created.

Obama jokes about aging during 2nd term

WASHINGTON (AP) ? President Barack Obama joked Saturday that the years are catching up to him and he's not "the strapping young Muslim socialist" he used to be.

Obama poked fun at himself as well as some of his political adversaries during the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner attended by politicians, members of the media and Hollywood celebrities.

Entering to the rap track "All I Do Is Win" by DJ Khaled, Obama joked about how re-election would allow him to unleash a radical agenda. But then he showed a picture of himself golfing on a mock magazine cover of "Senior Leisure."

"I'm not the strapping young Muslim Socialist that I used to be," the president remarked, and then recounted his recent 2-for-22 basketball shooting performance at the White House Easter Egg hunt.

But Obama's most dramatic shift for the next four years appeared to be aesthetic. He presented a montage of shots featuring him with bangs similar to those sometimes sported by his wife.

"So we borrowed one of Michelle's tricks," Obama said. "I thought this looked pretty good, but no bounce."

Obama closed by noting the nation's recent tragedies in Massachusetts and Texas, praising Americans of all stripes from first responders to local journalists for serving the public good.

Saturday night's banquet not far from the White House attracted the usual assortment of stars from Hollywood and beyond. Actors Kevin Spacey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Claire Danes, who play government characters on series, were among the attendees, as was Korean entertainer Psy. Several Cabinet members, governors and members of Congress were present.

And despite coming at a somber time, nearly two weeks after the deadly Boston Marathon bombing and 10 days after a devastating fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas, the president and political allies and rivals alike took the opportunity to enjoy some humor. Late-night talk-show host Conan O'Brien headlined the event.

Some of Obama's jokes came at his Republican rivals' expense. He asked that the GOP's minority outreach begin with him as a "trial run" and said he'd take his recent charm offensive with Republicans on the road, including events with conservatives such as Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Rand Paul and Rep. Michele Bachmann.

"In fact, I'm taking my charm offensive on the road -- a Texas barbeque with Ted Cruz, a Kentucky bluegrass concert with Rand Paul, and a book-burning with Michele Bachmann," Obama joked.

Casino magnate Sheldon Adelson would have had better success getting Obama out of office if he simply offered the president $100 million to drop out of last year's race, Obama quipped.

And on the 2016 election, the president noted in self-referential irony that potential Republican candidate Sen. Marco Rubio wasn't qualified because he hasn't even served a full term in the Senate. Obama served less than four years of his six-year Senate term before he was elected president in 2008.

"I mean, the guy has not even finished a single term in the Senate and he thinks he's ready to be President," Obama joked.

The gala also was an opportunity for six journalists, including Associated Press White House Correspondent Julie Pace, to be honored for their coverage of the presidency and national issues.

The New Yorker's Ryan Lizza won the Aldo Beckman Award, which recognizes excellence in the coverage of the presidency.

Pace won the Merriman Smith Award for a print journalist for coverage on deadline.

ABC's Terry Moran was the winner of the broadcast Merriman Smith Award for deadline reporting.

Reporters Jim Morris, Chris Hamby and Ronnie Greene of the Center for Public Integrity won the Edgar A. Poe Award for coverage of issues of national significance.
