All tag results for 'america'

Is it an exciting game of soccer where the two teams are so evenly matched that the result is a 0-0 tie, or is that the most boring game in history??

We're sure people would argue the former!

For the U.S., this means we're now in third place in the World Cup qualifying with 1-1-1. Three of ten matches in, we're right behind Panama by one point!

The thing is — the Americans got lucky!

The Boy Scouts of America always endeavor to Be Prepared, but it seems they were not quite ready for the public's reaction to their ban on gay scouts and leaders.

As recently as July of last year the Scouts re-affirmed their No Gays Allowed policy, but the times they are a-changin'!

Many charities, businesses, and United Way groups have stopped donating to the Boy Scouts due to their discriminatory practices, causing the organization to rethink their ways.

The BSA's board of directors are reportedly "actively considering" changing their national policy to allow individual charters to allow in homosexual members if they so choose. Spokesman Deron Smith says:

Not bad for your first competition, Ellen Bittner!!!

Ellen is a 63-year-old woman who was the average American: lazy, unhealthy, unhappy. She became part of a study about how lifestyle affect life expectancy, and she was SHOCKED to learn she was among the highest at risk for a slew of health problems like heart attacks and strokes. More importantly though, she was inspired to change.

And we hope she inspires you too!

Turns out, Bittner was REALLY GOOD at powerlifting, after her personal trainer came back from a competition raving about it, and asked her if she wanted to try it out. So they trained, and now she's taken home the gold in her first competition ever!

Check out her amazeballs story (above)! Go Ellen, goooooo!

Ohhhhh man! We can not WAIT for Robin Roberts to get back to work!

She's one of our favorite parts of Good Morning America!

Apparently she was back in the studio TODAY for a behind-the-scenes test run this morning — and it was her first time back on set since undergoing a bone marrow transplant last September. We're so jazzed!

Here's what Robin said:

Beyoncé had to sing the national anthem in CHIILLZ weather… for the PRESIDENT and (basically) the WHOLE WORLD at the 2013 Inauguration.

So naturally… gurl took some precaution!

And according to a close source, it seems an apology won't be happening anytime soon! Cuz in her mind, what's the big effing deal!?!

An insider close to the whole scandal swears by it, saying:

"She didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Pavarotti has done it! It was freezing out, and if she messed up just one note, that would have been the story. Everybody uses these tracks, and the music director advised it. Any big outdoor live performance is almost always with some kind of track."

PREACH.

You know we LOVE IT when performers take huge risks — and singing 100% live in that kind of weather would definitely be considered one — but Bey still brought it!

And ya know what?? She did sing live… just on top of the track, according to the source:
