AP – At 10:25 a.m., a dark brown eye was removed from a man whose lids had closed for the last time. Five hours later, the orb was staring up at the ceiling from a stainless steel tray in an operating room with two blind patients — both waiting to give it a second life.

World Champion Eater Patrick Bertoletti– King of the Jews’ Booze
A film opening on World AIDS Day Thursday that mixes live proceedings and animation is taking viewers inside a soccer player’s body, showing how he becomes infected with HIV and spreads the virus.
Tony La Russa waited until after the championship parade and then called a team meeting with his players.
Filed under: Celebrity Justice, Tonya Cooley
A cast member on MTV’s “The Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Ruins” claims male members acted like animals during production, in one case raping her with a toothbrush … this according to a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ.
Tonya Cooley filed the suit against MTV, Bunim/Murray Productions, Kenneth Santucci, Evan Starkman and others … claiming the two guys “took a further male participant’s toothbrush and rubbed the toothbrush around plaintiff’s genitals, including rubbing her labia and inserting the toothbrush into plaintiff’s vagina.”
Cooley says it all happened while she was passed out cold … and cameras were rolling
Cooley says producers not only knew about the rape, they even replaced the toothbrush, but by no means told her what happened.
The suit also claims female cast members were stripped of their bathing suits and that male cast members were encouraged by producers to “inappropriately touch female cast members’ bodies, including in intimate areas.”
Cooley alleges she and other cast members reported incidents of sexual abuse, but show honchos turned a blind eye.
Cooley claims she was later booted from the show after slapping a cast member. She says nothing happened to the men who allegedly raped her.
Cooley is suing for unspecified hurts. Calls to MTV have not been returned.
We made several calls to Bunim/Murray for comment, but each time we called … the receptionist hung up on us.
