Amnesia

Amnesia

  Closure notices have been served on some of the world's most famous dance clubs causing revellers to cancel their trips to dancetastic Ibiza. 

  A crackdown on the island's drug-fuelled nightlife spells disaster for its summer season as clubs Amnesia, Bora Bora and DC-10 were all told to shut their doors for at least a month.

Police have accused club organisers of tolerating dealing and drug consumption among clubbers and have also fined them.

  A night at Amnesia - one of the Ibiza clubs closed for suspected drug tolerance

The three clubs collectively attract about 7,000 people every night through the summer as Ibiza's brand as global clubbing capital brings young dance fans in their droves.

  Amnesia has reopened after being forced to close for the first month of the season. Bora Bora will reopen this week while DC-10 is fighting closure through the courts.

  The clubs on the island, off Spain's east coast, are all refuting the allegations and demanding compensation for loss of earnings.

  A spokesman for Amnesia said it used best practice to prevent drugs on its premises. He told the Guardian: "This is a huge blow to our prestige, and that of the islands, gained over three decades of hard-work."

The latest closures follow a two-year police investigation. Local newspaper Diario de Ibiza reported that undercover officers found one nightclub offered so-called "snorting cabins" in which revellers could consume drugs.

  The cabins reportedly included a ledge for dealing out drugs, and a lock. They reportedly had traces of cocaine, hashish and blood-stained hankerchiefs.

Government officials said the closures were carried out after club owners failed to react after a series of meetings with them.

  Ramon Socias, government delegate in the Balearic islands, said: "It is obvious that, after such meetings, some sort of measures needed to be taken.

  "We are acting with great energy against the entry of these substances into the islands but we cannot get everything. The proof of that is that there continues to be consumption in public places."

Club owners say the closure orders, which a local court said should not have been enacted immediately, threatened the economy.

Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor Kissing Picture

   Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor star in a movie called I Love You Phillip Morris. Many years ago a friend told me he went to see The Birdcage with Robin Williams, Gene Hackman, and Nathan Lane. I didn’t see the movie until years later, because I was under the impression it was a movie about the gay lifestyle, and was meant more as brainwashing rather than a good story worthy of a movie, but it turn out after seeing the movie I was wrong. Perhaps I Love You Phillip Morris will prove to be worth watching as well.

   The story begins with Russell, played by Jim Carrey, on his deathbed recalling the events of his life that led him there. He begins with his life in Texas as a happily married police officer who plays the organ at church, prays every night with his wife (Leslie Mann) and spends his off hours searching for the biological mother who gave him up as a child. That, and hes gay. But after finding and being handily rejected by the mother who gave him up as a baby, Steven leaves his life and family behind to go out into the world and be his true, flamboyantly gay self. He moves to Miami, finds a boyfriend (Rodrigo Santoro) and begins living the high life. He realizes quickly though, that a life of luxury is expensive, leading this resourceful former cop to turn to a life as a conman. But when his con work finally catches up with him, Steven is sent to prison where he meets, and almost instantly falls in love with Phillip Morris, played by Ewan McGregor. From there the story becomes a Don Quixote-esque story of a forlorn lover who cannot bear to be separated from his soul-mate. He will go to any lengths to be with Phillip, including but not limited to breaking out of jail on multiple occasions, impersonating Phillips lawyer and fraudulently becoming the CFO of a major corporation.

Taylor Swift Dropped and Broke Grammy Award

   Taylor Swift won so many Grammy Awards on Sunday that she dropped one while posing for pictures.

   Fortunately a replacement was available.

It’s hard to imagine being in Swift’s shoes at her age, winning so many awards, and making so much money. Unlike so many other girls that have come before her, Swift earned it through her talent.
