48. "Sarah, who has been the lover of charismatic WikiLeaks leader Julian Assange, 41"

Freaking gross. "charismatic"? Yeah, if you like blowhards who are hiding out in an Ecuadorian Embassy because he doesn't want to go back to Sweden to answer the rape charges against him.

Swedish prosecutors announce the courts have approved their request to issue arrest warrants to question Assange, who is now in London. On November 20, the Stockholm Criminal Court issues an international arrest warrant for Assange, stating he is suspected of several counts of rape, sexual molestation and illegal use of force. Interpol later issues a "red notice" upon Sweden's request.
