Beck said today:

“I’m not saying [Obama] doesn’t like white people. He has a problem. This guy is, I believe, a racist.”

The Fox News Channel host made the comment on Tuesday morning’s “Fox & Friends” morning show. Beck’s comments came out during a discussion about the recent arrest of Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Obama’s remarks thereafter.

Beck added:

“[Obama revealed himself as] a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture.”

The White House is refusing to comment. Fox News’ SVP of Programming has issued the following statement:

“[Glenn Beck] expressed a personal opinion which represented his own views, not those of the Fox News Channel. And as with all commentators in the cable news arena, he is given the freedom to express his opinions.”

A new report finds tanning beds’ link to skin cancer as carcinogenic to humans! Tanning beds and skin cancer linkage by the International Agency for Research on Cancer was found to be at the highest level of cancer risk possible, no higher than tobacco.

The agency, part of the World Health Organization (WHO), has previously ruled the risk associated between tanning beds and skin cancer as only “probably”.The report found as follows:

“The use of tanning beds can be deleterious to your health and we hope to encourage governments to formulate restrictions and regulations for the use of tanning beds”

The study found that melanoma risk increased by 75% when used before age 30. Dan Humiston, president of the Indoor Tanning Association (ITA), issued the following response to the findings:

“The fact that the IARC has put tanning bed use in the same category as sunlight is hardly newsworthy.

“The UV light from a tanning bed is equivalent to UV light from the sun, which has had a group 1 classification since 1992. Some other items in this category are red wine, beer and salted fish.

“The ITA has always emphasized the importance of moderation when it comes to UV light from either the sun or a tanning bed.”

The American Cancer Society’s has issued the following statement:

“The report firmly establishes ultraviolet radiation as a human carcinogen. Young women in particular are the heaviest users of tanning beds, and are at the greatest risk of causing harm to themselves.

“This report also puts to rest the argument that tanning with UVA light is safe.”

Mark Buehrle set a MLB record last night of 45 outs in a row. Mark Buehrle set the baseball record last night against the twins.

The previous record of 41 straight was held by Jim Barr for San Francisco in 1972. Three decades later the record was then tied by Bobby Jenks in 2007.

Twins manager Ron Gardenhire tells press:

“[Buehrle] relies on location and movement. To see him not give up a hit … his whole thing is pitching to contact.

“And you’re going to get bloops. So, to think about it, it’s really amazing that no one blooped one for 45 hitters.”

Jessica Simpson is on a new diet. The Jessica Simpson “revenge diet” comes post Tony Romo breakup. The weight gain and weight loss of Simpson has been her publicity gem for the last 24 months. Now skinny Simpson is back again on the front cover of OK! Magazine. (It’s a refreshing departure from cover photos of overweight and angry looking Jon Gosselin.)

Jessica is quoted in magazine as wanting her old body back.

A spy tells the mag:

“Right after Tony ended things Jessica said ‘I want my old body back,’. She went into her kitchen, got a trash bag and started to clear it out.”

Pick it up Jessica’s article on newsstands this week. It’s a light read.
