Tak jauh berbeda dengan Kelly, Nicki Minaj juga menuliskan ketidakpercayaannya dalam Twitter atas meninggalnya Amy. Nicky takut kabar tersebut adalah lelucon semata.

Meski mengaku sempat tak percaya, Rihanna berharap jika karya Amy akan tetap hidup hingga kapanpun. “Aku benar-benar sedih saat mendengar kabar itu,” ucap Rihana.

Penyanyi asal Inggris itu meninggal dunia pada Sabtu (23/7/2011). Pelantun hits ‘Rehab’ itu menghembuskan nafas terakhirnya di usianya yang ke-27.

Amy ditemukan sudah tidak bernyawa di kediamannya yang berada di Camden, London, Inggris. Hal itu pun sudah dipastikan oleh pihak kepolisian setempat.

Jakarta Bulan Ramadan adalah bulan dimana hawa nafsu umat muslim benar-benar diuji, mulai dari menahan amarah, lapar, haus hingga hawa nafsu duniawi. Lalu, godaan apa yang terberat bagi aktris seksi Five Vi?

“Kalau laki-laki kan bisa tergoda terus. Kalau makan dan minum sih enggak akan tergoda, karena udah biasa,” ujarnya seraya tertawa saat ditemui di Teebox Cafe, Jalan Wijaya, Jakarta Selatan, Minggu (24/7/2011) malam.

Adalah sang pacar yang menjadi alasan pemilik nama asli Vivi Rahmawati menilai demikian. Bahkan, Five Vi melarang agar kekasih barunya yang berasal dari Australia datang ke Indonesia pada Agustus mendatang.

“Makanya aku suruh dia (pacar) jangan ke Indonesia. Karena itu dia, godaan itu kan lebih bahaya,” lanjutnya seraya tertawa.

Test Banner for Better 2

If you use query_posts within a template page, WordPress will have already executed the database query and retrieved the records by the time it gets to your template page (that’s how it knew which template page to serve up!). So when you over-ride the default query with query_posts(), you’re essentially throwing away the default query and its results and re-executing another query against the database.

This is not necessarily a problem, especially if you’re dealing with a smaller blog-based site. Developers of large sites with big databases and heavy visitor traffic may wish to consider alternatives, such as modifying the default request directly (before it’s called).
