It never fails that teenagers tend to have a desire to rebel and discover who they are as individual at some point during their teen years. Unfortunately, that can cause problems for a home life, even moreso when that homelife is in the public eye.

It seems that while Bill Llama is protesting for better working conditions as the recent article on his Occupy!Wading Pool rally illustrated, Ted Llama has begun 'finding himself' and trying new things that may or may not proved to be acceptable in the Reid family. Recent candid photos, such as the one below show evidence that Ted has gotten his ear pierced as an act of independence.

What's next for this rebelling young llama? Tattoos?

It seems dissent is brewing in the campaign team of Dunena Reid, opposition candidate for Minister of Magic here in America. Word has come from a reliable source who asked to remain nameless as they were not authorized to make a statement that there has been signs of unhappiness among Mr. Reid's two most trusted advisors, Bill and Ted Llama. The brothers apparently are not satisfied with working conditions and Bill Llama has begun protesting their benefits, as you can see by the candid photo our source supplied. Apparently, Ted Llama, while not pleased with conditions, has chosen to not support his sibling in this strike for better working conditions.

7. Jamie Savage

42, England, Halfblood
The Sports world was shocked last year at the news of famous British Quiddich Champion Jamie Savage's fall from grace. However in 2011 Word is that the Chaser has been working hard to repair his image and taken to a professional role of training the next generation of Quiddich Stars for Italy. With the 2012 Wizarding World Games coming up next year no doubt Jamie will be one to watch.

6. Cherry Clinger

50, American, Pureblood
"The Hostest With the Mostest" thought out the Wizarding World there's no doubt that Cherry Clinger continues to capture the hearts and minds of those devoted to WWBN. From her interview with the Malfroy Family in lead up to the release of the final part of the Harry Potter film series to the never to be forgotten live broadcast with Fifi LaRoux and Dominic Benoit (and who could forget Ronald Frump?) that transformed opinions and garnished a entirely new generation of viewers and dispelled doubts that Cherrys talent ended at her 'assets'.

5. Fifi LaRoux

34, French, Pureblood
Fashion Icon and Darling of the French Ministry of Magic Fifi LaRoux's name has been all over our airwaves, from little known Auror to Famous Hit Wizard often seen on the arm of French Minister for Magic Dominic Benoit it is her outrageous antics that have won supporters both in her home country and abroad. With high profile interviews on The Cherry Clinger Show leading to her rescue of a innocent Muggle during a brawl caused by rioters outside the Ministry of Magic others have been less positive about the French Witch - none the least being the American Minister for Magic.

4. Dominic Benoit

73, French, Pureblood
Before this year few had heard of the French Minister for Magic, with domestic troubles at home overshadowing international developments it was on the level of a shock to American Audiences to view the heated exchange between French Minister and 'bad boy' Dominic Benoit and American Minister for Magic Ronald Frump. With the Muggle Eurozone in crisis it has been the careful management by Dominic Benoit that has come to be a shining star after his veto to allow the Galleon standard to be linked to the Euro causing the Magical World to remain immune to the worst of Europe's troubles.

3. Ronald Frump

74, American, Pureblood
Who could forget Ronald Frump this year? From a solid campaign win in 2010 based on traditional values it turned to be Ronald Frump's own taste for the ladies that lead him into strife in 2011. With the revelation of his affair with Ms. Lainy Bustiere a prominent purest alongside allegations of selling out the Magical world it was the report of his connection to the Arson attack against WWBN-New York Radio Host Dunena Reid in a attempt to plant the blame on French Hitwizard Fifi LaRoux that has left his government on the edge of collapse with polling results showing him unlikely to win any upcoming election... if he can keep the knives from his own party members at bay to last so long.

2. Marty Harper

50, American, Muggle
On the 17th of November the Wizarding World was shocked to see the attack against a unarmed Muggle during a scuffle that broke out at the Fight The Darkness Rally outside the American Ministry of Magic. Broadcast globally on The Cherry Clinger Show Marty Harper found himself thrust into the Magical World's Limelight after trying to defend the image of French Hitwizard Fifi LaRoux against allegations connecting the woman and American Minister for Magic Ronald Frump. While it is not known how Marty Harper came to be at the rally he became the target of Anti-Muggle elements within the crowd before being arrested by the NYPD.

2011 PERSON OF THE YEAR
1. Dunena Reid

41, American, Pureblood
Radio Shock-Jock on WWBN Dunena Reid's fame skyrocketed in 2011 from a relatively quiet career to be a major player in the Wizarding World thanks to his #1 rating program Dunena's Weird Weird World. Likened to the Muggle Julian Assange between stories of The Sky Falling In and 'Goat God Man' the late night conspiracy show has been a surprising source of revelations about the Politics of the Wizarding World, breaking stories about the Minister for Magic's secret hideaway with Ms. Lainy Bustiere and allegations of 'selling out' the Magical world with the release of Pottermore, a Co-Woozle and Sony funded project to allow Muggles to explore the magical world online. It was however Dunena's pubic actions that brought the most heat on the man, Calling a Day of Action against Ronald Frump's ministry his Fight The Darkness Protest quickly got out of hands with wild allegations against well known public figures. While it is not clear just how much truth where in his allegations and stories of Targeting by Ronald Frump's ministry there is no doubt that Dunena Reid has aligned himself closely with the winds of public opinion calling for a more open and transparent proceedings in the Magical World.

To this in 2011 we salute you!

Police are searching for two men who disappeared in the early morning hours of November 1st. A report was received on the 3rd of November from their employer, Llama.com de Tabagisme, when either Michel Souris and/or Donald Canard did not report for work for two days and could not be reached. Visits to their residences resulted in no answer and when the officers gained entry to their domiciles, found nothing out of the ordinary but no sign that either man had been home.

*Article includes photos of both men.*

The Prefecture of Police are investigating reports of a man who either jumped or fell from Pont de la Tournelle in the early morning hours of November 1st.

Reports were received from a group celebrating L'halloween at a party on one of the barges docked along the River Seine. Witnesses stated that they observed a man plummeting from the bridge shortly before a flash of green light appeared in the night. They also report a cracking sound as if someone was setting off firecrackers.

Divers searched the river in the area the man would have entered the water and surrounding area but nothing was found. The Prefect suspects that if there was a jumper, he may have been taken down river with the current or it may have been youth bungee jumping from the bridge.

It appears that the the gallant gentleman who would step forward to defend someone's honor, only to be attacked and arrested for it, is now missing. Repeated attempts to contact him have proven unsuccessful and no one who does know this man seems to know where he has gone to . We have learned that his actions resulted in his employer terminating his employment with them for his actions that night which this reporter can only say seems to be at odds with the rest of the city's opinion of him.

Everyone from the man on the street to those in the media are praising his actions to defend another. Famed WWBN television hostess, Cherry Clinger is quoted as saying "That cute dude was such a loyal chap... probably not the best place to speak out like that but at least he did."

Merlin's portrait, currently hanging in the British Minister's office has issued a statement calling the man's action's "the most chivalerous since dear Arthur and that young Gallahad. Too bad more don't think to act like that."

The general concensus in the Manhattan wizarding quarter is one of praise for the actions of that man. This reporter has also received word that thanks to the work of Minister Frump and his office, all Muggle charges against the man have been formally dropped regarding the events of that night.

WWBN owner and CEO, Daniel Davenport, issued a statement last night that he regrets the behavior of his employee, WWBN radio host Dunena Reid in releasing photographs that had not been verified. The incident and the source of those photos are still under investigation.

Last night, the Muggle Occupy protests spilled over into the wizarding world when Famed Radio Host, Dunena Reid, organized a Fight the Dark Rally in front of the Ministry of Magic. What began as a peaceful demonstration soon began to breakdown into a scene of dissent and violence and ending in a confrontation between Minister Ronald Frump and Mr Reid live on WWBN's Cherry Clinger Show.

Mr Reid's intentions for the rally seemed simple enough as it began with a call, in his own words as he opened the rally "to tell those in charge that we are here and that we want change! We want our leader to be accountable for where our world is heading and what they have done to take it there. We must raise our voices and tell them of our displeasure". Mr Reid continued to tell those present that they were the power and they should take it back.

It was then that Mr Reid choose to show what he stated were photos of two individuals in a compromising situation. When a gentleman stepped forward to defend one of the individuals, as they were someone he knew, the crowd became vocal and things started to breakdown. This resulted in the gentleman's being attacked and Mr. Reid brandished his wand asking that no violence occur. He was not successful and when someone did come to the gentleman's aid, not only did physical violence increase but hexes as well.

It was at this point, Muggle law enforcement appeared and took two people into custody, including the gentleman who questioned the authenticity of the photo. Requests for a statement from the man have not been answered at this time. This reporter happened to be conducting an interview with Minister Frump and can testify to the shock the arrival of Muggle law enforcement was to him.

Also present at that time as he was granting a live interview to WWBN's Cherry Clinger, and identifying one of the pair arrested as a member of the French Ministry of Magic, was Dominic Benoit, Minister of Magic in France. He stated that: "I am very glad that you are here to witness a member of my staff being taken away.. had I not just mentioned but half a hour ago that this incident should have involved Ministry protection to ensure that no members of the public, nor of the magical population would be put at risk by the overwhelmingly negative political climate currently at the heart of American politics at this present moment Right now I have no idea what to believe but that your men had better do something now before you have a full blown race riot on your hands".

Aurors and Magical Law Enforcement personnel were immediately dispatched to control the situation. They are currently investigating the events of last night with the cooperation of Muggle Law Enforcement to discern what occurred.

The Fire Inspector has issued a report blaming the fire that occurred in the Manhattan apartment of popular WWBN radio host, Dunena Reid on a lit cigarette that had been left burning on the floor. The investigation also turned up hoof print marks in the carpeting which have been determined to be those of llamas. The statement issued by the NYPD Public Relations Office states that:

The fire appears to have started in the living room and spread through the apartment causing considerable smoke and fire damage to the residence. No other apartments were damaged in the building. Investigators found multiple hoof print marks on the rugs and the remains of several cigarettes that appear to have been dropped and left to burn on the floor. The apartment has been determined to be unsafe until repairs are made.

The American Minister of Magic is disputing claims from WWBN's Mad Mad World that he most certainly was not looking into a new position and was indeed plaining to run for re-election. Speaking at a press conference today he told The Global Voice that such ridiculous conspiracy theories where totally unfounded he went on to point out that while Muggles are a important part of the modern magical world and photographs of him at attendance of a preview screening of the upcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 on the arm of Imelda Staunton known for playing Delores Umbridge in the co-Wizard/Muggle produced film.

With moving pictures turning up on Woozle and the story breaking on Dunena Reid's NY talkback radio program usually reserved for crackpot theories about the sky falling and conspiracies about Llama the minister commented that "Only a pea brained idiot would trust the word of Mr Reid" before going on to clarify that his remark about pea brained idiots was in no way a disrespect to peas nor the idiot community. Despite the subject matter there has been calls for the a vote of no confidence in the Minister both in Pureblood circles from his soft stance on Muggles and seeming encouragement of blood blending and from Muggle Rights activists for being seen as indirectly supporting the view of Delores Umbridge famously remembered as for her crimes against Muggles, the wizarding community and fashion during the 2nd Wizarding War.
