LOS ANGELES Theres low, and then theres low.Former MTV reality star
Farrah Abraham, 21, who shot to fame as a subject of the
networks 16 and Pregnant in 2009 and its spinoff Teen Mom, admitted
this week that she had sex on camera with professional porn star
James Deen. It was then widely assumed the idea was that the
video was to then be leaked as a celebrity sex tape.While sex
tapes are nothing new in the scandal drenched Hollywood community, some
argue that hiring a "pro" to orchestrate a fake sex tape is
evidence of a whole new level of desperation.Staging an event like this
is really a desperate cry for fame. As the old adage goes,
fame is fleeting and only lasts fifteen minutes. But todays stars, and
reality stars in particular, are looking for ways to make their fame
last as long as possible," sociologist popular culture expert Dr. Hilary
Levey Friedman told FOX411s Pop Tarts column. "The way to keep building
fame is to be talked about, and in our crowded media space
it takes something quite controversial to get so much ink."Life and career
strategist Suzannah Galland says Abrahams stunt says a lot about our culture.Hollywoods
impact has misguided youth yet again. This is a new low of
lows where the latest self-creative hype is shaped around being crude and
in your face, she said. Its very clear that being an exhibitionist
is in demand, and will encourage other aspiring fame seekers to crave
the same kind of attention.Even thou
ion between the Koreas.South Korea's point man on North
Korea, Unification Minister Ryoo Kihl-jae, urged Pyongyang to stop heightening
tensions and to discuss the restart of operations in Kaesong.In Pyongyang,
meanwhile, there was no sense of panic. Across the city, workers were
rolling out sod and preparing the city for a series of April
holidays.North Korean students put on suits and traditional dresses to celebrate
Kim Jong Un's appointment as first secretary of the Workers' Party a
year ago.A flower show and art performances are scheduled over the next
few days in the lead-up to the nations' biggest holiday, the April
15 birthday of North Korea founder Kim Il Sung, grandfather of the
current leader.No military parade or mass events were expected over the
coming week, but North Korea historically uses major holidays to show off
its military power, and analysts say Pyongyang could well mark the occasion
with a provocative missile launch in defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions
barring the North from nuclear and missile activity."However tense the situation
is, we will mark the Day of the Sun in a significant
way," Kim Kwang Chon, a Pyongyang citizen, told The Associated Press, referring
to the April 15 birthday. "We will celebrate the Day of the
Sun even if war breaks out tomorrow."During last year's celebrations, North
Korea failed in an attempt to send a satellite into space aboard
a long-range rocket. The U.S. and its allie

<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> In President Obama's push to crack down on the abundance of firearms
in America, proposed gun-control legislation may be having the opposite
effect.Updated FBI statistics show that background checks in the first three
months of the year far outpace the number of checks in early
2012. The stats show that from January through March, gun owners went
through 7 million background checks -- compared with just 4.8 million in
the first three months of last year.The spike in checks, coupled with
mounting anecdotal claims that ammunition is hard to come by, comes amid
concern by gun owners that new proposals at the state and federal
level could limit access to firearms.Though supporters of the legislation
say that is not the case, the assurances haven't stopped what statistics
suggest is a run on weapons. The purchases have picked up ever
since Obama's election in 2008. Since 2009, there have been 71 million
background checks logged in the federal system. The annual number has risen
every year.The recorded checks only apply to sales from licensed dealers.The
most recent spike further adds to the underlying challenge facing lawmakers
-- how do you regulate weapons when there are already 300 million
of them, and rising, in circulation?While some lawmakers have proposed clawing
back currently owned assault-style weapons, most proposed assault-weapons
bans only apply to future purchases. And at the federal level, the
chance of such a ban passing has
rsation about how to get China to
join the United States in putting pressure on Pyongyang, according to a
senior administration official who was present. The debate encapsulates
America's struggle to come up with a strategy based on
sticks, carrots or a combination of both to convince
China to police its own backyard.As Kerry heads to East Asia for
his first time as America's top diplomat, some progress has been made
in convincing Beijing, North Korea's biggest benefactor, to start getting
tough with its neighbor. The question is whether it will make a
difference.North Korea's government agency said Thursday that it has "powerful
striking means" on standby for a launch, amid speculation in Seoul and
Washington that North Korea will test-fire a mid-range missile designed
to reach the U.S. territory of Guam in the Pacific Ocean. It
was the latest warning from the North, which launched a long-range rocket
in December and conducted an underground nuclear test in February.For years,
Washington has been putting its hopes in Beijing to rein in the
provocative behavior and combative rhetoric from North Korea. China has
more leverage over the North than any other country, having massively boosted
trade ties with the isolated regime in recent years and maintaining close
military relations.But the U.S. has been frustrated by the reaction from
a government that in many ways has different priorities. China, analysts
and officials often say, f
