Republic Of Molossia , The smallest Country In The World
What makes a territory a republic? Is it a currency, laws or a fearless leader in a snappy uniform? International recognition doesn't hurt anything either, but the first qualities seem a little more attainable for the average micro-nation, and Kevin Baugh and Molossia have all three. Born in 1963, Baugh and a friend were only teenagers when they dreamed up the idea to create their own micro-nation, separate from the United States and governed by their authority.
Through the early 1990s, the territory was known as the Grand Republic of Vuldstein, but in 1999, the new republic of Molossia was formed with Baugh at the helm as President. With only an acre of territory in arid Nevada, the entire country is comprised of a small home known as the Government House, where Baugh lives with his family and dogs.
Although the country has claimed other swaths of land, including 50,000 acres on Venus, the land in Nevada is where the government is centered. Fully outside of the United States jurisdiction, Molossia does not pay taxes, and has its own currency that is printed on poker chips.
Currency is valued against raw cookie dough, which is popular and used for commerce inside the nation. Baugh is the clear leader and has power to exercise all decisions in the country.
Although it must be pre-arranged, he gives tours wearing his Molossia uniform, complete with medals and a sash. A tour will cost outsiders their pocket change, and you must have a valid passport, that will be stamped, to enter the small republic. Aside from the occasional tour, Molossia has little to do with the America, claiming to be an independent entity surrounded by the larger USA. While some visitors are accepted, all citizens are in Baugh's family, and applications for citizenship are not accepted by the President.

does Brad Pitt Have A New Relationship With Jennifer Lawrence??
You know I think Jennifer Lawrence is hot stuff, right? The girl’s got a bangin’ body, she has a beautiful face, and she’s truly talented. I would imagine that a lot of dudes (and some ladies) of varying ages are assessing J-Law’s assets at this point. One of those dudes happens to be Brad Pitt. Allegedly! According to Star Magazine (yeah), Brad got a screener of The Hunger Games and now he’s all about The J-Law. He’s J-Law-obsessed. He wants to work with her. He’s texting her. And now Angelina is all “OMG, now I have to worry about ANOTHER Jennifer?”

TMZ: Michael Jackson house is for sale $23.9 million
The house where Michael Jackson died is up for sale ... again ... for a whopping $23.9 million.
The estate went on the market Monday and we've learned a "major celebrity" will look at it tomorrow.
We're told the realtor -- Mauricio Umansky, the CEO and co-founder of The Agency in Beverly Hills -- will ONLY show the property to serious buyers who have pre-qualified ... which means they have the dough to buy the property.
The 17,000 square foot house -- which has been on and off the market since MJ died -- is completely empty. It has 13 bathrooms, a pool, guest house and an elevator.

Gossipcop : Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart “Married In Mexico!”
Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart are getting secretly married in Mexico, reports Star magazine.
Using the past tense and a vacation photo, the tabloid’s cover implies J. Lo and her dancer boyfriendalready had a “secret ceremony on a yacht” and that Smart “wants to adopt her twins” and has signed off on a $1 million-per-year prenuptial agreement.
The inside article immediately backtracks, suggesting that Lopez “is set” to wed Smart “in a hush-hush ceremony” and “pushing ahead” with these plans even though her friends think she’s “about to make a huge mistake.”
“Everyone in Jennifer’s inner circle thinks she’s lost her mind,” explains a so-called “source” for Star.
