Ms Vlaminck, 18, had initially insisted she went into the tattoo parlour requesting three stars, but dozed off during the procedure and awoke in horror to find a veritable galaxy on her face. She then vowed to sue the tattoo artist, Rouslan Toumaniantz, for $20,000 for failing to understand her instructions.</p><p style="text-align: left;">“It is terrible for me,” she said last week… I cannot go out on to the street. I look like a freak.” But under a wave of cynicism from the public Ms Vlaminck has finally admitted she wanted all the stars and was “fully aware” of what Mr Toumaniantz was doing… “I asked for 56 stars and initially adored them,” she said. “But when my father saw them, he was furious. So I said I fell asleep and the that the tattooist mad made a mistake.”</p><p style="text-align: left;">Mr Toumaniantz had previously agreed to help pay for the tattoo removal saying: “Kimberley is unhappy and it is not my wish to have an unsatisfied client.” But according to the UK’s Daily Telegraph this offer has now been withdrawn, although Mr Toumaniantz concedes he will now get written consent from his clients.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><strong><a href="http://www.celebitchy.com/56973/girl_with_56_stars_tattooed_on_her_face_admits_she_requested_them/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Click Here To Read More</span></a></strong></p><p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Euros are all crazy&#8230; a bunch of Mike Tyson&#8217;s walking around.- nik</span></strong></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://thedirty.com/2009/06/23/star-face-tattoo-girl-confesses/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>20</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Waaaake Up Greg&#8230;</title><link>http://thedirty.com/2009/05/01/waaaake-up-greg/</link> <comments>http://thedirty.com/2009/05/01/waaaake-up-greg/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2009 12:00:10 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jay</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Cincinnati]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Dirty TV]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Dublin]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Illinois]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Dirty]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://thedirty.com/?p=156796</guid> <description><![CDATA[Time to get Up and start your Friday right! ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/phuyHk1MPq0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/phuyHk1MPq0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></strong></p><p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Time to get Up and start your Friday right!</strong></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://thedirty.com/2009/05/01/waaaake-up-greg/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>6</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Dublin Archbishop: Sex Abuse Report Will Shock</title><link>http://thedirty.com/2009/04/09/dublin-archbishop-sex-abuse-report-will-shock/</link> <comments>http://thedirty.com/2009/04/09/dublin-archbishop-sex-abuse-report-will-shock/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 09 Apr 2009 17:20:31 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Chloe</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Dublin]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Catholic]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Priests]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Rape]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://thedirty.com/?p=147441</guid> <description><![CDATA[ DUBLIN &#8211; The Archbishop of Dublin said Thursday that an upcoming report on child sexual abuse involving Catholic priests will likely reveal that thousands of youngsters were abused from 1975 to 2004.The report &#8220;will shock us all,&#8221; said Diarmuid Martin, during Mass at Dublin&#8217;s Pro-Cathedral.The archbishop said the report, compiled by the Dublin Archdiocese Commission [...]]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="textBodyBlack"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-147454" title="theworld-copy" src="http://static.thedirty.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/theworld-copy.jpg" alt="theworld-copy" width="450" height="349" /></p><p class="textBodyBlack">DUBLIN &#8211; The Archbishop of Dublin said Thursday that an upcoming report on child sexual abuse involving Catholic priests will likely reveal that thousands of youngsters were abused from 1975 to 2004.The report &#8220;will shock us all,&#8221; said Diarmuid Martin, during Mass at Dublin&#8217;s Pro-Cathedral.The archbishop said the report, compiled by the Dublin Archdiocese Commission of Investigation, is expected to show that &#8220;thousands of children or young people across Ireland were abused by priests in the period under investigation and the horror of that abuse was not recognized for what it is.&#8221;The government-appointed commission was set up to investigate abuses within the Dublin archdiocese in 2006, the same year the diocese admitted that up to 102 of its priests were suspected of abusing children. The report is studying how complaints of child sexual abuse were handled.The commission has also now begun an investigation into the Diocese of Cloyne, in County Cork. Commission member Ita Mangan said that could potentially delay the publication of the Dublin report which had been planned for this summer.&#8221;The commission will be finishing the report in May; we then send it to the government, and they then decide when to publish it,&#8221; Mangan said Thursday. &#8220;The government is obliged to publish it, but not necessarily the next day. It could be further complicated by the fact that we&#8217;re also inquiring into the Cloyne diocese. It is possible the government would decide to publish the two reports together, which could then be September, October.&#8221;The Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform said Thursday that it could not confirm any planned date of publication.Ireland, a predominantly Catholic country, has been rapidly secularizing in recent years, spurred by the outrage at the hidden abuses within the clergy.
