Hot Celebrity News!! By: Miay Paden Tracy Morgan: I can’t believe Wal-Mart is blaming me!!

A couple of months ago Tracy Morgan was in a bad accident with a Wal-Mart truck in New Jersey. The wreck left Morgan with broken ribs, a broken leg, and a broken nose. He was in the hospital for a while and he is still having hard times recovering from his injuries. Tracy Mor- gan filed a lawsuit against Wal-Mart because they had their driver working under “unreasonable” conditions, and he fell asleep behind the wheel causing him to collide with Tra- cy. Wal-Mart is now trying to deny that they are responsible for this. They said Tracy failed to set forth any facts therefore it’s not their responsibility and he wasn’t even wearing his seat- belt, Morgan on the other hand can’t believe Wal-Mart is trying to turn this around and place all the blame on him. Wal-Mart said they are “working to resolve all the remaining issues as a result of the accident, and they are hoping to come to a settlement discussion and do what’s right”

All About Aquariums—Cruise Harkert and Candice Crawford Betta fish are easy to care for but, also need some special tank requirements.

The males are more colorful then the females. The Betta males are aggressive fish. A 5-gallon tank is better for the fish. You have to clean the tank weekly. Betas don’t like fast currents. When you do clean the tank don’t use a fish net, use a small cup or bowl and they jump so be careful. The tank always has to be room tempera- ture. Bettas need places to hide and plants in the tank but only a few.
