Showgirls at centre of Berlusconi scandal complain work has dried up

Starlets and showgirls at the centre of the prostitution scandal engulfing Silvio Berlusconi have complained that offers of work have dried up because of the notoriety of the case.

Mr Berlusconi is alleged to have paid "several" women for sex during wild "bunga bunga" parties at his palazzo outside Milan – a charge that almost all of them have denied.

Several of the woman said they are no longer receiving offers to pose for fashion shoots, feature in promotional campaigns or work as "image girls" at corporate events.

One of the women, Barbara Guerra, 32, a men's magazine model and reality television contestant, said she recently received a call cancelling her appearance at a sporting event.

"No one said outright that it was because of my involvement in the scandal, but I'm almost sure that was the reason," she said.

Miriam Loddo, another of the women named in the investigation, said she had barely been out of her house in the last month and a half.

Obama calls for Congress to end oil, gas subsidies

The proposal opened up the president to Republican criticism that the move will not do much to lower the price of gas at the pump. hid With his re-election fate increasingly tied to the price that Americans are paying at the gas pump, President Obama on Thursday called on Congress to end $4 billion in subsidies for oil and gas companies and vowed to tackle the country's long-term energy issues while shunning "phony election-year promises about lower gas prices." Obama, in an appearance at Nashua Community College in New Hampshire, took a page out of his jobs strategy, calling on Americans to contact their representatives and demand a vote on the oil subsidies. But the president insisted that lawmakers should vote in the next few weeks to repeal the oil industry's $4 billion federal subsidies, a demand he has made several times over the past three years. Ending the "industry giv...

The United States, meanwhile, says it will push ahead on a plan to provide 240,000 metric tons of U.S. food assistance to the North. Japan's Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba said Thursday in Tokyo that the deal also provides for the return to North Korea of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency. "They [North Korea] have said they agree to let the IAEA surveillance team return. They have also promised to take steps toward denuclearization and stopped the launch of short range missiles - these are significant accomplishments being made," he said. The Japanese foreign minister desc...
