 Arrest in fatal elevator fall at NY club (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070204/ap_on_re_us/club_death)
 
 Sun Feb 4, 4:46 AM ET
 
 A man died after falling down an elevator shaft during a dispute at a swank Manhattan nightclub once featured on the popular television show "Sex and the City," police said.
 
 Police early Sunday arrested Granville Adams, 43, and charged him with criminally negligent homicide in the death of Orlando Valle, 35.
 
 Investigators said the two men fought early Saturday morning at BED New York, a club in the Chelsea neighborhood known for providing beds for its lounging patrons. It was once featured on the TV show "Sex and the City."
 
 Adams pushed Valle against sixth-floor elevator doors, which opened, causing Valle to fall into the shaft, police said. A message left at a Brooklyn telephone number listed for Adams was not immediately returned early Sunday.
 
 Valle plummeted four floors before landing on top of the elevator car at the second floor of the converted warehouse space, police said. Valle, of the Bronx, was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.
 
 According to Valle's younger sister, Luz, relatives and friends who had been at the club said he had been trying to intervene in a dispute and make peace, but instead became involved himself.
 
 The elevator had previously passed all necessary inspections, said Kate Lindquist, a spokeswoman for the Buildings Department.
 
 The impact of the men's bodies popped an elevator door off its rollers, according to Rus Laiosa, an elevator inspector who was called into the club after the incident.
 
 BED's patrons can sip cocktails and don the club's complimentary socks while looking out at the city from an outdoor deck.
 
 Calls to BED went unanswered early Sunday.

 Astronaut charged with kidnap attempt (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070206/ap_on_re_us/astronaut_arrested)
 
 By MIKE SCHNEIDER, Associated Press Writer
  13 minutes ago
 
 An astronaut drove 900 miles and donned a disguise to confront a woman she believed was her rival for the affections of a space shuttle pilot, police said. She was arrested Monday and charged with attempted kidnapping and other counts.
 
 U.S. Navy Capt. Lisa Nowak, 43, who flew last July on a shuttle mission to the international space station, was also charged with attempted vehicle burglary with battery, destruction of evidence and battery. She was denied bail.
 
 Police said Nowak drove from her home in Houston to the Orlando International Airport to confront Colleen Shipman.
 
 Nowak believed Shipman was romantically involved with Navy Cmdr. William Oefelein, a pilot during space shuttle Discovery's trip to the space station last December, police said.
 
 Nowak told police that her relationship with Oefelein was "more than a working relationship but less than a romantic relationship," according to an arrest affidavit. Police officers recovered a love letter to Oefelein in her car.
 
 NASA spokesman James Hartsfield in Houston said that, as of Monday, Nowak's status with the astronaut corps remained unchanged.
 
 "What will happen beyond that, I will not speculate," he said.
 
 Hartsfield said he couldn't recall the last time an astronaut was arrested and said there were no rules against fraternizing among astronauts.
 
 When she found out that Shipman was flying to Orlando from Houston, Nowak decided to confront her, according to the arrest affidavit. Nowak raced from Houston to Orlando wearing diapers so she wouldn't have to stop to urinate, authorities said.
 
 Astronauts wear diapers during launch and re-entry.

 
 Dressed in a wig and a trench coat, Nowak boarded an airport bus that Shipman took to her car in an airport parking lot. Shipman told police she noticed someone following her, hurried inside the car and locked the doors, according to the arrest affidavit.
 
 Nowak rapped on the window, tried to open the car door and asked for a ride. Shipman refused but rolled down the car window a few inches when Nowak started crying. Nowak then sprayed a chemical into Shipman's car, the affidavit said.
 
 Shipman drove to the parking lot booth, and the police were called.
 
 During a check of the parking lot, an officer followed Nowak and watched her throw away a bag containing the wig and BB gun. They also found a steel mallet, a 4-inch folding knife, rubber tubing, $600 and garbage bags inside a bag Nowak was carrying when she was arrested, authorities said.
 
 Inside Nowak's vehicle, which was parked at a nearby motel, authorities uncovered a pepper spray package, an unused BB-gun cartridge, latex gloves and e-mails between Shipman and Oefelein. They also found a letter "that indicated how much Mrs. Nowak loved Mr. Oefelein," an opened package for a buck knife, Shipman's home address and hand written directions to the address, the arrest affidavit said.
 
 Police said Nowak told them that she only wanted to scare Shipman into talking to her about her relationship with Oefelein and didn't want to harm her physically.
 
 "If you were just going to talk to someone, I don't know that you would need a wig, a trench coat, an air cartridge BB gun and pepper spray," said Sgt. Barbara Jones, a spokeswoman for the Orlando Police Department. "It's just really a very sad case. ... Now she ends up finding herself on the other side of the law with some very serious charges."
 
 If convicted of attempted kidnapping, Nowak could face a maximum of life in prison.
 
 It was not immediately known whether Nowak had an attorney.
 
 Oefelein and Shipman did not immediately return phone messages Monday night.
 
 According to NASA's official biography, Nowak is married with three children. During her 13-day mission in July she operated the robotic arm during three spacewalks.
 
 Oefelein is unmarried. He piloted the space shuttle Discovery in December. He has two children, according to a NASA biography.
 
 Nowak and Oefelein were both first-time fliers during their shuttle missions last year. They trained together but never flew together.

Frankly, I'm beginning to think that there is no room left in rehab for people who actually need it.  Mark Foley.  Isaiah Washington.  Miss USA, Tara Conner.  The Mayor of San Francisco. With press releases replacing Catholic confessional booths as America's most painless form of pardon, everyone who gets caught doing something embarrassing makes a perfunctory pilgrimage to a rehab facility. These are really just lushly landscaped, deluxe resorts for celebrities who've found yet one more excuse to gather and talk about themselves.  How long before "Rehab!" is the standard reply to the question: "You've just won the Super Bowl, what are you going to do now?"
 
 Television's smarmy entertainment hosts nod hosannas when celebrities and politicians use a quick stay at rehab as a cheap, insincere ploy for secular absolution, but don't even suggest an involuntary trip to rehab when a drugged-out celebrity they want to retain access to nods off in the middle of an interview.

Joe Blow hanging on the corner would be in jail now for the exact same offence. Except maybe in Baltimore where everyone gets a lot of free passes out of jail...but that's another story for another day.

Foxy Brown Arrested (http://www.vibe.com/news/news_headlines/2007/02/foxy_arrested_miami/)
 
 The rapper was arrested for battery in a Florida beauty shop.
 
 Foxy Brown was arrested last night for assault and battery. Police said she threw hair glue and spit at a beauty store employee working at Queen Beauty Supply, in Pembroke Pines, Fla., and subsequently fought with a police officer. She was charged with battery and resisting an officer with violence.
 
 According to the police report, Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, was "utilizing beauty products in the bathroom of the business" when beauty store employee Hayssamn Ghoneim told her the store was closing. Brown allegedly threw hair glue at Ghoneim, then spat on him while he was calling 911 for police assistance. The reporting officer writes, "I responded and observed the saliva stain on the victim's shirt," and says when he attempted to arrest Brown, she struggled. There were no injuries. According to the report, Brown wants to prosecute the officer for battery.
 
 Brown was previously ordered three years' probation and anger management classes for scuffling with manicurists last August in New York. Last month, she recieved "excellent" probation report after appearing in Manhattan Criminal Court. She is currently being held on $1,500 bond in a Pompano Beach, Fla. Jail.

Music Producer Concubines (http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2007703100357)
 
  A dad, again and again, again, etc.
 
 Ricky Lackey has six children on the way.
 
 Don't call them sextuplets - they're each with different women.
 
 When Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Melba Marsh asked Lackey during sentencing Friday on a charge of attempted theft how many children he had, the 25-year-old said, "None, but I have six on the way."
 
 A stunned Marsh tried to clarify. "Are you marrying a woman with six children?" she asked.
 
 "No, I be concubining," he said.
 
 Prosecutors said Lackey is the expectant father of six children with six different women. The women all are expected to deliver in August, September and October.
 
 Lackey's lawyer, Stephen Wenke, stopped his client from saying more.
 
 Marsh said she wasn't sure how to respond, so she let the issue drop since it wasn't relevant to the proceedings.
 
 Lackey, a music producer who told Marsh he was on the cusp of a $2 million deal that would net him $300,000 upfront, was convicted Friday on a reduced charge of attempted theft.
 
 Prosecutors say the Avondale man defrauded U.S. Bank out of $3,975 by depositing empty envelopes into ATM machines, claiming they contained cash, and depositing bad checks before withdrawing cash on the falsely inflated balances.
 
 Lackey has repaid the money, according to court records.
 
 Marsh ordered no other sentence, because restitution had been paid.
 
 As Lackey left the courtroom, a group of teenage girls there for another case appeared to know Lackey.
 
 "Oh, there's Ricky Lackey!" one swooned.
 
 Lackey shrugged the attention off with one word and a wave of his hand.
 
 "Fans," he said.

  Calif. Punk-Rock Bassist Charged With Phila. Rape (http://www.philly.com/philly/news/local/20070325_Calif__punk-rock_bassist_charged_with_Phila__rape.html)
 
 By Mari A. Schaefer
 Inquirer Staff Writer
 
 A member of a California punk-rock band was arrested Friday and charged after he allegedly admitted in an e-mail that he had raped a woman while on tour in Philadelphia.
 
 Dominic Davi, 30, the bass player of Love Equals Death, is being held on charges of rape, aggravated assault, and related crimes, and is awaiting extradition from Fullerton, Calif., to Philadelphia, police said yesterday. Davi was a member of the band Tsunami Bomb before he left the group in 2003.
 
 According to police, a 19-year-old woman from Fairfax, Va., met Davi at the Barbary Club at 951 Frankford Ave. in June 2006. The two, who police describe as acquaintances, left the club together on foot. Davi then allegedly raped the woman behind a factory near the 1100 block of North Delaware Avenue in the Fishtown section of the city.
 
 The woman then returned to Virginia, police said. She contacted Davi by e-mail, and he wrote her back in January 2007 admitting what happened. She met with the Fairfax police, who then called Philadelphia police.
 
 A warrant was issued for Davi's arrest on Thursday.
 
 Philadelphia detectives looked at the band's Web site to learn where the group was performing, and contacted Fullerton police, who arrested Davi at the Alley, a club where they were to play Friday night.
 
 Love Equals Death was founded on Halloween night 2003. The band's Web site says the group just performed in California, Washington, Oregon and Nevada.
 
 The band, which recently released its debut, full-length CD, Nightmerica, was described as an "up-and-coming punk band with a classic sound and a dream for something new" by the Eureka Times Standard newspaper in California. The band has been opening for other acts such as AFI and NOFX.
 
 Corey Apar, writing on the Web site Allmusic.com, called the group's new recording "a breath of fresh air among the ironic screamo bands of the world."

this tory makes me want to cry, for two reasons: one, he survived; and two, the car didn't...
 
 Eddie Griffin OK after Ferrari wreck
 
 IRWINDALE, Calif. - Eddie Griffin crashed a rare Ferrari Enzo worth $1.5 million into a concrete barrier while practicing at a racetrack Monday, destroying the car but escaping uninjured.
 
 The comedian was practicing for a charity race to promote his upcoming film, "Redline," when he drove too fast around a curve at the Irwindale Speedway. Video footage showed the red sports car screeching before it ricocheted off the barrier with heavy damage to its front.
 
 "Undercover Brother's good at karate and all the rest of that, but the brother can't drive," Griffin, referring to one his past films, said after the accident.
 
 The film's publicist, Wendy Zocks, said Griffin was "doing OK."
 
 "He walked away completely unscratched, but probably a little shaken," Zocks said.
 
 The Enzo, valued at around $1.5 million, was owned by the executive producer of "Redline," Daniel Sadek, whose exotic car collection is featured in the movie.
 
 Sadek said that the car was damaged beyond repair and that he had "mixed feelings" about the wreck.
 
 "I'm glad Eddie came out of the crash OK, but my dream car got destroyed," Sadek said. "I went to my trailer for about 15 minutes and I thought, there's people dying every day. A lot of worse things are happening in the world."
 
 Only 400 Ferrari Enzos were ever produced, all between 2002 and 2004.
 
 Griffin's credits include the comedies "Undercover Brother"; "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo" and its sequel; "Date Movie"; and "Norbit."

 Punk rocker caught in soap opera
 The drummer is jailed in O.C. because his bottle of cleanser allegedly contained a drug. The manufacturer joins the fight.
 By Roy Rivenburg, Times Staff Writer
 April 11, 2007
 
 
 Was a legendary punk rocker arrested for possession of â?¦ soap?
 
 That's the question surrounding last week's jailing of Germs drummer Don Bolles after a traffic stop in Newport Beach.
 
 Bolles, 50, whose real name is Jimmy Michael Giorsetti, said in an interview that he and his girlfriend were driving to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting Wednesday evening when police pulled over his 1968 Dodge van for a broken taillight.
 
 Inside the vehicle, police found a toiletry kit containing denture glue, razors and a bottle of Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap.
 
 When a field test of the alleged liquid peppermint soap indicated it was GHB, a date-rape drug, Bolles was arrested on suspicion of felony narcotics possession, said Sgt. Evan Sailor of the Newport Beach Police Department.
 
 Bolles insisted the soap was only soap. "I've been using Dr. Bronner's for 35 years," he said Tuesday, adding that the organic ingredients help give him the complexion of a 15-year-old girl.
 
 Executives at Dr. Bronner's rushed to Bolles' defense, hiring attorney Bruce Margolin, who specializes in marijuana cases, to represent the musician.
 
 The alliance between Germs and the soap manufacturer followed an Internet plea to help bail Bolles out of jail. A musician from one of his other bands, Fancy Space People, set up a PayPal account to raise the $2,500 bond.
 
 Bolles, who lives in Huntington Park, was released Sunday. "The Newport Beach jail was the nicest one I've ever been in," he said. But Bolles spent just one night there before being moved to two county jails he described as "terrifying."
 
 The Germs, a trailblazing punk ban formed in Los Angeles in the late 1970s, are credited with influencing generations of musicians and popularizing mohawks. Bolles took his name from Arizona Republic journalist Don Bolles, who was killed in 1976 by a car bomb while investigating corruption.
 
 The band broke up in 1980 after their 24-year-old singer, Darby Crash, committed suicide. The Germs reunited in 2005.
 
 As word of the punk rocker's arrest spread online, Dr. Bronner's switchboard lighted up with calls. After speaking with Bolles on Monday, company President David Bronner decided to intervene.
 
 The Escondido-based soap maker is used to run-ins with the law. Because the ingredient list for Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap includes hemp oil, police field tests of the soap occasionally indicate THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, Bronner said.
 
 But the idea of finding GHB in a Dr. Bronner's product is "beyond belief," Bronner said. "The field test must have been flawed or tampered with."
 
 Is it possible Bolles was using the soap bottle to carry the drug?
 
 No way, Bronner said. With a definitive test of the bottle's contents coming soon from the Orange County Crime Lab, "it would be ridiculous for Bolles to be lying," Bronner said.
 
 Bolles, a onetime heroin addict who is scheduled to play a London concert with the Germs in August, likewise dismissed the idea that he would carry GHB. "A date-rape drug is the last thing I need," he said. "If anything, I need a way to keep the girls off of me. They make my girlfriend mad."

Bolles Is Clean  via Pollstar (http://www.pollstar.com/news/viewnews.pl?NewsID=7863)
 
 The Clean Germ
 Updated 04:22 PDT Sat, Apr 21 2007
 
 Recent charges brought against drummer Don Bolles of The Germs for carrying what police determined was drug-spiked liquid soap didn't hold water.
 
 Bolles (real name: Jimmy Michael Giorsetti) was pulled over on a traffic stop in Newport Beach April 4th and subsequently searched. Police found a small amount of marijuana in the vehicle, which Bolles is apparently allowed to possess for medical reasons.
 
 But the real trouble started when police came across a bottle of Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps of Escondido. They conducted a field test on the soap, which tested positive for GHB, commonly known as the date rape drug.
 
 Bolles was arrested and charged with felony drug possession. There was one problem: The soap was clean.
 
 When confirmation tests on the magic soap were conducted in the Orange County crime lab, police found that it didn't contain GHB after all.
 
 Representatives from Dr. Bronner's, who took up Bolles' case after hearing about the test results, purchased the same field tests used by police and conducted their own tests on the liquid, according to a statement.
 
 The results proved shocking. "We confirmed that the test is useless when used on soap since every test came back positive. We also tested other common brands of soap including Johnson & Johnson's popular Neutrogena brand, as well as Colgate-Palmolive's Tom's of Maine brand, which gave the same false positive tests as well," the statement said.
 
 Newport Beach police Sgt. Evan Sailor told the San Diego Union Tribune previous field tests always proved reliable.
 
 "We've never had a false positive," Sailor said. "This is the first one."
 
 Orange County DA spokeswoman Farrah Emami told the paper the charges have been dropped.
 
 "Based on the results of the crime lab test, we have dismissed the case," Emami said.
 
 The Germs broke up in 1980 after iconic frontman Darby Crash died from a drug overdose. The band, including former Nirvana and Foo Fighters guitarist Pat Smear, reunited two years ago.

This reads like a story from the Onion, but it's from CNN
 
 JAIPUR, India (Reuters) -- An Indian court ordered the arrest of Hollywood star Richard Gere on Thursday for kissing Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty at an AIDS awareness event this month saying it was an obscene act committed in public.
 
 Gere's repeated kisses on Shetty's cheeks at an event to promote AIDS awareness in New Delhi sparked protests in some parts of India, mostly by Hindu vigilante groups, who saw it as an outrage against her modesty and an affront to Indian culture.
 
 The order by a court in the northern city of Jaipur came in response to a complaint by a local lawyer.
 
 The judge watched a video recording of Gere kissing Shetty and found him guilty of violating Indian laws against public obscenity, the lawyer, Poonam Chand Bhandari, said.
 
 The court also summoned Shilpa Shetty to appear on May 5, Bhandari said, adding that Gere was also ordered to be arrested.
 
 Gere can be sent to jail for up to three months or fined or both for the crime if he is arrested. He is not in India now but can be held if he visits the country again.
 
 The Hollywood star is a devout Buddhist and a vocal supporter of the Tibetan cause and visits India frequently to meet the Dalai Lama, who lives in exile in northern India.
 
 He is also involved with charities looking after HIV-infected people and orphans, as well as AIDS prevention groups in the country.
 
 Groups of men had burned and kicked straw effigies of Gere and Shetty in sporadic protests across the country after newspapers published the picture of the kiss on their front pages and TV channels aired visuals of the event.
 
 Shetty, the winner of the "Celebrity Big Brother" reality TV show in Britain this year had said the kiss may have gone a "little overboard" but it was not obscene and the protests made India look regressive.
 
 She said Gere was only re-enacting his moves from the film "Shall We Dance" to entertain the audience at the AIDS event and communicate in a Bollywood style as he did not speak Hindi.
 
 Many commentators had subsequently expressed their unhappiness at what they said were fringe groups making a mountain of a harmless peck on the cheek.

 Rapper Arrested on Charge of Driving While Intoxicated
 By ANAHAD Oâ??CONNOR
 The rapper Busta Rhymes was arrested early this morning and charged with driving while intoxicated after officers stopped his car in Manhattan and smelled alcohol on his breath, the police said.
 
 The rapper, whose real name is Trevor Smith, was pulled over about 12:48 a.m. near the corner of West 51st Street and 11th Avenue because the tint on his 2006 Yukon Denali was too dark, the police said. When officers approached his car and asked for his paperwork, Mr. Smith reached over and dropped his wallet, at which point â??he was found to have a strong odor of alcohol on his breath,â?ť according to the police report.
 
 He was taken into custody and is being held until his arraignment, which is expected to take place later this afternoon. His lawyer, Scott Leemon, did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
 
 The drunken driving arrest is the latest of several legal troubles for the rapper. In January, he was charged with misdemeanor assault after his former driver said Mr. Smith beat and kicked him in a dispute over money. In an earlier case, in August 2006, Mr. Smith was accused of attacking a fan after a concert on Randalls Island and arrested on assault and weapons charges.
 
 Mr. Smith had agreed to a plea offer that included probation, community service and lectures to troubled youths. But a judge withdrew the offer after Mr. Smith was arrested a third time, in February, and charged with driving in New York with a suspended license.
 
 He was scheduled to go to trial on the assault charges this month.
 
 Mr. Smith has also faced public criticism from top police officials, who say he has refused to cooperate with the investigation into the fatal shooting of one of his own security guards outside a recording studio in Brooklyn in February 2006.
 
 According to the police, Mr. Smith will not tell investigators what he knows about the killing of the bodyguard, Israel Ramirez, even though he was standing next to Mr. Ramirez when he was fatally shot. A deputy police commissioner, Paul J. Browne, has said that Mr. Smithâ??s refusal to cooperate has prevented other witnesses from coming forward and cooperating as well. The case remains unsolved.

 Report: Pete Doherty arrested again
 
 LONDON - Pete Doherty was arrested this weekend on suspicion of possessing illegal drugs, a published report said Monday.
 
 Metropolitan Police declined to directly confirm the report in The Sun newspaper, but said a 28-year-old man was arrested Saturday night in London on suspicion of drug possession. He was released on bail pending investigation and was ordered to return to a police station next month.
 
 Doherty, frontman for Babyshambles and formerly co-leader of The Libertines, has been undergoing drug rehabilitation under court supervision following a number of arrests for possession of drugs, including cocaine and heroin.
 
 At a court appearance April 18, the rocker said people close to him were insisting that he kick his addiction.
 
 "The people I'm closest to have had enough. They've said it's drugs or them," he said.

Former Creed singer charged with assault (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070521/ap_en_ot/stapp_arrested)
 
 BOCA RATON, Fla. - Former Creed frontman
 Scott Stapp was arrested at his home and charged with assault related to domestic violence.
 
 Stapp was charged with one count of domestic assault with intent to commit a felony Sunday and was being held without bond, according to a Palm Beach County Jail official who was reached by telephone and would not give her name.
 
 No one was injured and no one was taken to the hospital, said Paul Miller, a Sheriff's Office spokesman.
 
 Miller declined to identify the victim and said he had no information about any physical violence.
 
 "We don't know exactly what occurred here," said Miller.
 
 It wasn't immediately known if Stapp had an attorney.
 
 Stapp, 33, was married a year ago last February at the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami to former Miss New York Jaclyn Nesheiwat.
 
 Nesheiwat declined to comment Sunday night.
 
 "It's just a rough time," she told The Palm Beach Post.
 
 Stapp's former band, Creed, sold more than 25 million records in the United States. He has since launched a solo singing career.
 
 Miller didn't immediately respond to phone messages left on his cell phone and at his office after hours by The Associated Press. Stapp's manager did not immediately return an e-mail seeking comment or a telephone message left at his office after hours.

 Lindsay Lohan suspected of DUI after crash
 
 BEVERLY HILLS, California (AP) -- Lindsay Lohan was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence Saturday after her convertible struck a curb, and investigators found what they suspect is cocaine at the scene, police said.
 
 Lohan, 20, and two other people were in her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 when it crashed on Sunset Boulevard around 5:30 a.m., Sgt. Mike Foxen said. It appeared Lohan was speeding, Lt. Mitch McCann said at an afternoon news conference.
 
 Officers at the scene found a "usable amount" of a drug tentatively identified as cocaine, McCann said. He declined to say where the drug was found other than to say Lohan was not carrying it.
 
 Lohan, who spent time at a rehabilitation center earlier this year, was driven in another car to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries, McCann said. The two other people in her car were not hurt.
 
 Officers received a 911 call about the accident and arrested Lohan at the hospital for investigation of misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, McCann said.
 
 She was released from custody because she was admitted to the hospital, police said.
 
 Lohan will have to appear in court to answer the citation, first reported on the Web site of X17 Inc., a celebrity photo agency.
 
 The crash was Lohan's third accident in about two years. In October 2005, Lohan and a passenger suffered minor injuries when her convertible hit a van in West Hollywood. Authorities said the van driver, who also received minor injuries, was at fault.
 
 Months earlier, Lohan collided with a minivan when she made a U-turn as the van, carrying paparazzi, followed her from a Los Angeles restaurant. A photographer was arrested for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon, but prosecutors declined to charge him.
 
 That crash was credited with prompting Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to sign a law that set steep financial penalties for paparazzi who commit assaults while trying to obtain celebrity photos.
 
 Lohan publicist Leslie Sloane Zelnik did not immediately return an e-mail requesting comment.
 
 Lohan said in January that she had checked into a rehabilitation center for substance abuse treatment. Her publicist confirmed in December that the actress was attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
 
 Lohan told Allure magazine during an interview for its May issue that she decided to enter the secluded Wonderland Center at the suggestion of her therapist.
 
 "It's so weird that I went to rehab. I always said I would die before I went to rehab," Lohan told the publication.
 
 Lohan's latest movie, "Georgia Rule," is in theaters now. The actress's other screen credits include "Mean Girls," "Bobby," "A Prairie Home Companion" and "Freaky Friday."

  LONDON - Police arrested Pete Doherty on Monday in east London on suspicion of drug possession.
 
 A police spokesman confirmed a 28-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of drugs and was in custody at an east London police station. Because of police force rules, he could not name the suspect.
 
 Earlier this month, a judge warned Doherty, lead singer of Babyshambles, that he must prove his desire to quit drugs or face a jail sentence for other drug offenses.
 
 Doherty, 28, has admitted possessing crack cocaine, heroin, cannabis and ketamine, as well as to two driving offenses.
 
 Doherty, best known as on-off boyfriend of model Kate Moss, has been undergoing drug treatment under court order because of previous convictions.

 Rapper Arrested At Miami Strip Club
 Police Respond To Fight, Find Rapper Disorderly, Drunk
 
 MIAMI -- Rapper Trick Daddy was arrested after a fight at a strip club early Tuesday, authorities said.
 
 The rapper, whose real name is Maurice Young, was charged with disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest, according to the police report.
 
 Authorities responded to a fight at Tootsie's Cabaret just after 1 a.m. and found Young, who smelled of alcohol, cursing and "threatening staff at the club," the report said. Police repeatedly asked Young to leave the club, but he refused.
 
 When they tried to handcuff him, he also refused and started moving his arms around, according to the report.
 
 He was taken to a hospital where he was treated for injuries from the fight and later transported to Miami-Dade County jail. The rapper's mug shot shows a bloody nose and cheek.
 
 He bonded out for $1,500, a jail spokeswoman said.
 
 It was not immediately known if Young had legal representation.
 
 A Miami native, Trick Daddy's albums include "Thug Matrimony: Married to the Streets" and "Back by Thug Demand."

 Ryan Adams has meltdown at concert (http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Music/09/28/people.ryanadams.ap/index.html)
 
 MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota (AP) -- Ryan Adams pitched another fit for a Minneapolis audience, a few years after his last local meltdown.
 
 Throughout a show Thursday night, the 32-year-old singer-guitarist complained about the sound monitors onstage at the State Theatre. At one point, he moved two monitors, his microphone and his guitar pedals.
 
 After 70 minutes he'd had enough. Adams announced "the last song," played it and didn't return for an encore. Many fans stood and booed.
 
 "I don't know what the story was," guitarist Neal Casal told the Star Tribune afterward. "I just play guitar."
 
 In 2003, Adams gave a famously bad performance at First Avenue, a rambling two-hour show where he griped about the sound system, played several songs twice and lambasted local rock legend Paul Westerberg.

 O.J. Simpson Held on Bail Violation
 
 By KEN RITTER
 The Associated Press
 Friday, January 11, 2008; 4:23 PM
 
 LAS VEGAS -- O.J. Simpson is in custody in Florida on allegations that he violated terms of his release on bail by calling one of his co-defendants in a Las Vegas armed robbery case, a court official said Friday.
 
 Prosecutors allege that Simpson, identifying himself as "Miguel," telephoned Clarence "C.J." Stewart on Nov. 16 and expressed frustration with Stewart's testimony at a preliminary hearing, court spokesman Michael Sommermeyer said.
 
 That was two days after a Las Vegas justice of the peace ruled that Simpson, Stewart and another co-defendant should stand trial on 12 charges, including kidnapping and robbery.
 
 Clark County District Attorney David Roger was filing a motion Friday to revoke Simpson's bail, according to a court clerk.
 
 Simpson was to go before a judge Wednesday.
 
 "We understand he's in the custody of his bail bondsman in Florida right now and will be brought to Las Vegas for the hearing," said Elana Pitaro, a clerk for District Court Judge Jackie Glass.
 
 A bail bondsman at You Ring We Spring bail bonds in North Las Vegas declined to comment.
 
 Simpson was freed Sept. 19 on $125,000 bail following his arrest on allegations he and several friends burst into a Las Vegas hotel room and robbed two sports memorabilia dealers at gunpoint.
 
 Simpson has maintained that he was retrieving items that belonged to him. He and the two other men are scheduled to stand trial April 7.
 
 His lawyer, Yale Galanter, did not return phone messages seeking comment.

'Gilligan's' Mary Ann caught with dope (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080311/ap_on_en_tv/people_dawn_wells)  
 
 DRIGGS, Idaho - Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann on "Gilligan's Island," is serving six months' unsupervised probation after allegedly being caught with marijuana in her car.
 
 She was sentenced Feb. 29 to five days in jail, fined $410.50 and placed on probation after pleading guilty to one count of reckless driving.
 
 Under a plea agreement, three misdemeanor counts â?? driving under the influence, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance â?? were dropped.
 
 On Oct. 18, Teton County sheriff's Deputy Joseph Gutierrez arrested Wells as she was driving home from a surprise birthday party that was held for her. According to the sheriff's office report, Gutierrez pulled Wells over after noticing her swerve and repeatedly speed up and slow down. When Gutierrez asked about a marijuana smell, Wells said she'd just given a ride to three hitchhikers and had dropped them off when they began smoking something. Gutierrez found half-smoked joints and two small cases used to store marijuana.
 
 The 69-year-old Wells, founder of the Idaho Film and Television Institute and organizer of the region's annual family movie festival called the Spud Fest, then failed a sobriety test.
 
 Wells' lawyer, Ron Swafford, said that a friend of Wells' testified that he'd left a small amount of marijuana in the vehicle after using it that day, and that Wells was unaware of it. Swafford also said several witnesses were prepared to testify that Wells had very little to drink at the party and was not intoxicated when she left. He said she was swerving on the road because she was trying to find the heater controls in her new car.

 Boy band creator Pearlman to be sentenced in Fla. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080521/ap_en_mu/people_lou_pearlman)
 
  ORLANDO, Fla. - The man who created the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync is scheduled to be sentenced in Florida on four federal charges.
 
 Lou Pearlman faces up to 25 years in prison and $1 million in fines. He pleaded guilty in March to two counts of conspiracy, money laundering and using false statements in a bankruptcy proceeding.
 
 His sentencing is scheduled for Wednesday.
 
 Pearlman is most famous for piecing together boy bands in the '90s that sold millions of records. But prosecutors allege he bilked investors and banks out of more than $300 million in a decades-long investment scam.

NYPD on high alert for 50 Cent event in Queens
Rapper will appear at 'Family Day' on August 30

The New York Police Department is reportedly on high alert for an upcoming event featuring 50 Cent, set to take place in the rapper?s native neighbourhood of Queens, NY.

The ?surprise? event, which is scheduled for August 30, is expected to be attended by 10,000 people, and one NYPD source says that the police will not be able to control the area:

"We can't control the area," a law-enforcement source told the New York Post, adding that it?s "an outdoor event -- people could walk in from anywhere."

When contacted, the New York Police Department said they would have adequate police presence.

Police are planning to shut down a 20-block radius in the South Jamaica neighbourhood of the borough. The event is sponsored by the New York Restoration Project, an organisation founded by actress Bette Midler and 50?s G-Unity Foundation.

The day will feature games, festivities and educational features including clinics and a facility to apply for driving permits

50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, survived a shooting in Queens in 2000 in which he was hit nine times. The incident remains unsolved.

Although he has not been officially confirmed to perform, his publicist Keesha Johnson has said he will make an appearance.

Celebrity Rehab alum and bazillionare socialite Jason Davis has pled not guilty to felony heroin possession Monday morning in connection with his arrest back in January in Newport Beach, CA.

Bold move considering he was charged with being under the influence of heroin and "narcotic analgesic, as well as possession.

If found guilty, Jason faces up to 3 years in prison.

Well, if his lawyer is as good as a bazzillion dollars can buy, then we're assuming he will get a slap on the wrist and be forced to appear in another reality show about drug addiction.

This one made me laugh and laugh, amen.

..SANGER, Texas (AP) ? Country singer Randy Travis has apologized after being arrested on a charge of public intoxication outside a North Texas church.

Denton County sheriff's spokesman Tom Reedy says police in the town of Sanger arrested Travis early Monday after spotting a vehicle parked in front of a church and finding an open bottle of wine and Travis smelling of alcohol.

Reedy says Travis, whose hits include "Forever and Ever, Amen," was brought to the Denton County jail about 1:30 a.m. and released six hours later.

The singer, who lives in the small town of Tioga near Sanger, apologized in a statement to The Associated Press "for what resulted following an evening of celebrating the Super Bowl."

Travis, who launches a concert tour Friday, says he's "committed to being responsible and accountable."

From Wiki:

"Love Will Keep Us Together" first appeared on Neil Sedaka's 1973 album The Tra-La Days Are Over which did not have a US release, Sedaka's version of the song making its US album debut on the 1974 compilation album Sedaka's Back.

"Love Will Tear Us Apart" is a song by the British post-punk band Joy Division. It was written in August 1979, and debuted when the band supported Buzzcocks on their UK tour in September and October 1979.

Yes, according to the internet

This was written as a cynical response to "Love Will Keep Us Together" by The Captain & Tennille. Joy Division lead singer Ian Curtis wrote it at a horrendous time in his life when his marriage was breaking up. Deborah Curtis, in her biography of Ian Curtis, Touching From a Distance, recalls her husband enthusing over the cover art for Love Will Tear Us Apart to her, although at the time he'd banned her from even coming to the band's gigs. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England)

Free-agent safety Ed Reed reported $50,000 in cash stolen from his car Wednesday while visiting banks in Houston, the Houston Police Department confirmed Thursday morning.

Reed, who played last season for the Houston Texans and New York Jets, told police he withdrew $50,000 from one bank and drove to another bank, presumably to make another transaction.

The future Hall of Famer left the money on the passenger seat of his gray 2006 Audi, registered in Florida. When he returned to the car, the passenger window was smashed and the money was gone, according to the police report.

Police: Drunk Woman Shows Up Naked to Visit Husband in Jail

http://www.arlnow.com/2014/03/19/police-drunk-woman-shows-up-naked-to-visit-husband-in-jail/

A 26-year-old Reston woman was arrested Saturday night after allegedly showing up naked at the Arlington Magistrate?s Office.

Police say Maura Fussell arrived at the magistrate?s office around 11:00 p.m. seeking to visit her husband, who had been arrested in Clarendon earlier that day. She was drunk, completely naked and refused to get dressed or leave in a cab, according to Arlington County Police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck.

Sternbeck was unable to say whether Fussell arrived at the office wearing clothes and subsequently removed them, or whether she arrived there naked.

Fussell was arrested and charged with indecent exposure and drunk in public. She was held in jail until sober, police said.

Sorry was focusing on the crime part of the subject.  I failed atomic by not creating a new thread.  Although, I'm sure the reality show about this person is already in development.

You could have put it in the Various Random Thoughts thread.  If you have questions in the future you can post to Meta:Clutter thread to query the community on where your new post should go.

I dunno, I think this is a good candidate for Reality / Onion.  Also, I think there should be a community poll to see if there's a groundswell of support behind making atomic an admin.

Oh i don't want to be an Admin.

But you could combine certain threads and make other ones sticky.  You could delete threads that are invalid topics, and put users in timeout!  Its like all of your hopes and dreams and aspirations and goals all wrapped up into one big power trip.

Actually I don't want to do any of that. I opened up the Clutter thread to start a dialogue. I don't want to force my opinions on you...I want the community to come together and everyone's voice to be heard.  Putting users in time-out does seem like fun but I would probably get carried away.

"In 2006, Bey was in court in Brooklyn, New York, for failing to pay his estranged wife, Maria Yepes-Smith, $10,000 a month to support the couple's two daughters, according to the New York Post. At the hearing, he told the judge that he could not afford the monthly payments, citing business commitments and obligations to his other children."

Three years. As I've said time and time again, knives and guns are amateur hour. If you really want to kill someone, hit them with your car in some way. Run them down as they're walking the street or just slam into them while they're driving. If you can do three years prison, which seems to be about the average sentence for vehicle-on-human violence, you'll get off.

AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd is no longer facing a charge of attempting to procure murder in New Zealand.

There was insufficient evidence to support the charge and it has been withdrawn, Tauranga Crown Solicitor Greg Hollister-Jones said in a statement. Rudd?s lawyer, Paul Mabey, said the charge should never have been laid and Rudd is ?considering any possible remedies.?

Hmmm, what's Randy Quaid (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2937423/Troubled-actor-Randy-Quaid-s-bizarre-YouTube-meltdown-rants-Warner-Brothers-Rupert-Murdoch.html) been up to??


'You wanna f*** me Rupert? Well, I'm gonna f*** you. Evi, put this on,' Quaid says to the camera before performing the graphic act.   

The two-minute YouTube clip is the latest in a series of outbursts from the pair, who have openly expressed their belief that an evil Hollywood sect named 'Star Whackers' wants to kill them.

From Relaxer's link:
Quote
In fact, what got Jared hooked on Subway in the first place was laziness. The sandwich chain had opened a branch on the first floor of Jared?s dorm, and what with his busy porn company, Jared began eating the sandwiches out of extreme laziness. It was the closest fast food available! Just imagine how different our lives would be if an Arby?s had opened up there instead? We?d probably be watching Jared on some TLC special about how he hasn?t gotten out of bed for 6 years.
Just think if it had been a Chipotle! He'd be the healthiest person alive! Bullets would bounce right off his body, sculpted to perfection by 6,000 calories of healthiness a day!

The charges which that trial covered involved kiddie porn and sex with women in the 15-17 range.

There are, however, audio tapes where he brags about having sex with a "young boy", suggests going to Thailand for child sex, and asks the person taping him if her children have any friends he could perv on. No charges have been brought yet related to this.

in addition to different jurisdictions, these are different types of cases: when a cop is involved as a suspect, they can hold back the video as part of the investigation.  in the case of a DUI, there is no investigation.

According to the report, the drugs in Woods' system were:

Hydrocodone, the generic form of a painkiller branded as Vicodin.

Hydromorphone, a strong painkiller commonly known as Dilaudid.

Alprazolam, a mood and sleep drug commonly known as Xanax. (The report also listed Alpha-Hydroxy Alprazolam, which is what Xanax becomes when it breaks down in the system.)

Zolpidem, a sleep drug commonly known as Ambien.

Delta-9 carboxy THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.

Josh Homme kicks photographer in the face.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42304607

Supremely disgusted. A despicable act...but then there's the part about him cutting himself too? Josh definitely has a history of being a dick to people, both on and off stage (there's video of him shoving a guy off the stage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOJqK5C_1t4). He's got the classic redhead temper. But I think it's safe to say at this juncture that he's got some bigger issues and demons to wrestle. It's no secret he likes to use substances. I don't know if that's the issue, but I wouldn't be surprised.

To be honest, I think he's been struggling for a while to keep some footing. The "Like Clockwork" LP to me is the story of a guy who peered into the abyss and nearly fell in, but pulled back and tried to find himself again. "Villains" feels like someone who doesn't give a damn. There are references to things like pills and suicide. When he says stuff like "Life is hard, that's why no one survives" and "Yeah, I'm letting go" I don't think that's just by chance. There's a lot of dark thoughts on that record. Maybe I'm psychoanalyzing too much, but that show at the Anthem felt like a band trying to say "yeah! we're having a great time!" but it felt like when I was watching my uncle fall off the deep end after his second marriage and hit the bottle. He was taking comfort in escape, but nothing about it was fun, cool or enjoyable for the people watching. Queens shows used to feel pretty damn good. But I couldn't help but pick up on the fact that this time it was a total facade.
Title: Re: Celebrity Crime & Scandal Blog

Wow. Great comments about the show.  I thought it was ok...but far and away the worst Queens show I've ever seen.

And I think he knows he's done screwed up this time. Cause he definitely has.

When you see concerts over the course of 27 years, you start picking up on stuff. In 1993, Smashing Pumpkins put on one hell of a show in Chicago (see the bonus DVD for the reissue of "Siamese Dream"...I was there) and I thought they were a better live band than Nirvana. Then I saw them in 1995 and you could sense things were dramatically different. That was the night before Melvoin and Chamberlin OD'ed in NY. I've been seeing QOTSA since 1999, so over the course of 18 years you can see the evolution and appreciate the highs and lows (pun intended) Josh has gone through. That tour with Iggy Pop last year was so great, which is why this year my thought was "what the hell happened to Josh?". I wonder if he's shouldering a lot of trauma after what happened to Eagles of Death Metal in Paris. Sometimes the people who want to project the toughest facade and are dicks are also the ones who feel things the most, but they hide behind a macho image. But when you listen to the song "Fortress", you almost wonder if he's referring to himself. Again, maybe I'm psycho-analyzing too much...my gut says I'm not. Substance abuse can make you feel invincible when you're not. And it's probably not a good sign when you're doing vicodin on stage.

Oh, and the first time I ever went backstage at a show I learned something pretty powerful. I was at a Pere Ubu show, I was 17, and I watched David Thomas have a nervous breakdown in his tour manager's arms. Just because you're let into the inner sanctum doesn't mean you belong there. A lot of these musicians types are tortured geniuses for a reason. They've got a lot of problems. It would be great if more of them got the help they needed and had easier access to health care and therapy. Watching people like Chris Cornell lose their battle is incredibly sad. You can have money, success and a manager looking out for you and still fall apart.

Yes, because you listed three pop bands and one "punk" band. The fact that no one would compare the four is apropos of nothing.

Its for their kids. Sounds like in Lori Loughlins case, she paid hundreds of thousands thru a middleman to convince USC’s crew coach to pretend he wanted her girls to play crew so they could get preferential admissions and bypass grades requirements despite the fact they had never played crew. The network of middlemen was busted by the FBI.

Their 25th-75th percentile splits for SAT scores are 1100-1310. They have a 52% acceptance rate (which to be honest, I thought would be higher). How, if you can afford the sticker price of that school, does one have to rely on these sort of means to get their kid in there I will never understand unless the undergrad in question literally has a constant flow of drool from their mouth to the nape of their neck.

I've finally read the entire affidavit and my favorite is the part where one of the parents specifically asks if another named defendant is also doing this because he'd been giving him shit. When you want to know Aunt Mossimo's daughter had to rely on these means to get into USC despite family relationships with the USC board, that's why -- the vanity of not wanting to admit your kid needs help to your social circle. Same reason FLAXMAN paid $650k to get his kid into San Diego instead of other, cheaper means -- the nouveau riche hate nothing more than having to bow.

Arrest warrant issued for Robert Kraft for soliciting sex.
The plot thickens and pulls Team Trump in....

Top Democrats in both the Senate and House have asked the FBI to launch criminal and counterintelligence investigations into "credible allegations of potential human trafficking, as well as unlawful foreign lobbying, campaign finance and other activities" by Li "Cindy" Yang, the founder of a chain of Florida massage parlors, NBC News reports.

The big picture: Yang, a Trump donor who was photographed with the president at a Super Bowl party last month, runs an investment firm believed to have been selling White House access to clients in China. She is a member of the "Florida Association for China Unification" — part of a global network of pro-government groups backed by the Chinese Communist Party. In their letter, the Democrats note that "China has frequently used non-traditional intelligence collectors and businesspersons to compromise targets."

In a stunning reversal, Chicago prosecutors on Tuesday dropped all charges against "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett just weeks after he was indicted on 16 felony counts for allegedly filing a false police report.

Smollett, 36, was seen arriving at a Chicago courtroom around 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday for an emergency hearing. Following his court appearance, his attorneys released a statement saying that the actor's "record has been wiped clean of the filing of this tragic complaint against him."

"Jussie was attacked by two people he was unable to identify on January 29th. He was a victim who was vilified and made to appear as a perpetrator as a result of false and inappropriate remarks made to the public causing an inappropriate rush to judgement," the statement read.

"Jussie and many others were hurt by these unfair and unwarranted actions. This entire situation is a reminder that there should never be an attempt to prove a case in the court of public opinion. That is wrong. It is a reminder that a victim, in this case Jussie, deserves dignity and respect. Dismissal of charges against the victim in this case was the only just result."

Smollett was charged earlier this month by a grand jury of 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct for making a false report, according to a criminal complaint.

In February, he was charged with felony disorderly conduct after Chicago officers said he orchestrated his own alleged hate crime on himself in January because he was unhappy with his salary on the show "Empire."

His role on the Fox series, where he played Jamal Lyon, was cut from the final episodes of the fifth season "to avoid further disruption on set," the show's executive producers said in a joint statement on Feb. 22.

That is the weirdest story ever.

EDIT: "After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollett’s volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case." - DA

Oh, so he absolutely did it, they just don't think a media circus is worth it to put him in jail over this foolishness and the forfeiture of his bond is a de facto fine for his actions.

So the term celebrity is not really concrete
I mean Pewdiepew has 100million subscribers ...but would the average Jolene (or anyone on this board who is over 30) recognize him or even know who I'm talking about
but he's definitely a celebrity

I would venture to say said person you are trying to malign probably falls into a celebrity realm, mostly due to may screen and print appearances alone, but more of a d-list than an a-list for sure

How ironic. My office has a weekly half hour Zoom social gathering on Wed mornings. Often we have a survey where we discuss the results. Today, we were talking about books we have read/are reading. One of my answers was that I currently am reading Springsteen's autobiography "Born to Run."

I commented that it was a good read, but not nearly as interesting as some of the bios of less "straight" music artists.

I wonder if he goes to the nude beach at Sandy Hook? He's abut the right age.

ol' Marilyn Manson has been keeping himself (and his lawyers!) busy:
- wanted for two counts of Class A misdemeanour simple assault in NH,
- being sued his former assistant for sexual harassment, abuse and battery,
- second lawsuit by Game of Thrones star Esmé Bianco, and
- FBI investigation into alleged abuse

agreed on the snowflake-ness, but legally speaking it is assault.  plenty of people have found out the hard way that spitting on a cop is a really, really bad idea.

It was part of the character he plays on stage as part of an artistic performance of which the "victim" consented to be a part of by her entering the venue. I could get him off for this and I'm a pretend lawyer -- imagine what a real lawyer would do with this. Were people going around charging Gallagher for assault when he sprayed those folks with watermelon?

Right, and that was a civil matter with an even lower threshold to clear.

My point is not that there are insufficient elements for a DA to charge Manson with this offense, my argument is the case is hilariously weak and a very low-quality attorney -- not to mention an attorney of the caliber a rock star can afford -- can no doubt successfully lead to an acquittal in the wild scenario that a jury actually hears it.

The only reason I remembered the case against Gallagher is because my family's firm turned it down, for obvious reasons.  She no doubt found someone to take the case and she ended having to pay for both attorneys.

Sanctions are a bitch. People shouldn’t run into civil action — if you don’t have lawyers fighting over who gets to take your case, you probably shouldn’t file and risk bankrupting yourself.

My father-in-law has been a judge in Saratoga Springs, NY for 2-ish decades and knows the judges one county over where alot of this was happening and, wow, he has some stories about these folks. They used the (civil) court system up there to shut up dissidents and people who would leave. This group was CRAAAAAAZY and targeted rich kids at a local private school extensively.

The rival HBO and Showtime docs give you a good overview but you get like 10 rich people's stories. There are hundreds of people in upstate NY (and elsewhere, no doubt) who just had their lives ruined by these weird fucks. It really hits home when someone is like "oh, yeah, my niece's best friend was held out of the country for two years . . . they tried to recruit her (the niece) too but her mom pulled her out of school" as though its just fucking commonplace.

I guess Mahershala Ali and Chris Rock all look the same to you?

Season 3 was watchable albeit not a must-watch. I agree season 2 was pure trash.

Chris Rock did a season of Fargo that was pretty solidly OK, although it didn't have as much to say about race as it thought it did.

Yeah like I said, definitely doesn’t rate as a must watch but it was ok. I don’t fully even remember the ending. It had something to do with memory loss, like I think he knew who committed the murder for years but now as an old man, he legitimately couldn’t remember. It was not some fantastic reveal you need to see.

The Chris Rock Fargo seasons pretty alright if you’re in need of something to binge.

Avenatti was the only guy of the MAGA era willing to fight, willing to play their game, not (apparently) just controlled opposition, and not out there losing on purpose or saying ‘if only we could do something but we can’t.’

But he totally overplayed his hand and got slaughtered.  Ruling class gets rich. Controlled opposition gets rich. Upstarts trying to upend things get slaughtered.

Anyone saying he should run for President was either (1) Avenatti himself; (2) someone who was repeating a narrative msnbc decided to kill some airtime with; or (3) someone appreciating that he was the only guy out there actually fighting in public in a world where every single non-MAGA politician is unwilling to fight and thinking ‘why not’

while he may have been an upstart, he's also a complete grifter.  a thief.  a blackmailer.  etc.  buh-bye.

i too am happy that she's coming home, but: let's not gaslight what happened.  if you are busted by US Customs with a cannabis vape cartridge, even if it's almost empty, you = prison.  what do people think should have happened to her?  russia has low tolerance and high penalties for drugs.  based on what i've read, she encountered the same fate that 99% of folks busted for possession at an airport in russia: you end up behind bars.  russia's court system isn't fair, the conviction rate is indeed something like 99%, but i can't see how you can argue with the course of events.

her trial and subsequent diplomacy was a circus, but let's not pretend that she didn't do anything to land in jailed.

Alec Baldwin
whoa
Besides the live round in the gun in Baldwin’s hand, the FBI found five more rounds of live ammo on the Rust set, the report detailed. Additionally, the report cast doubt on Baldwin’s assertion that he never pulled the trigger. “With the hammer at full cock, the revolver could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger while the working internal components were intact and functional,” the document stated.

The report also went into detail on other instances of guns going off on Rust.

Reese Price, a key grip, told authorities that “accidental discharge” occurred twice during the course of one day on set. “One of the accidental discharges occurred by ‘armorer girl’ who was messing with a gun,” Price told authorities.


I still feel it's hard to blame Alec in this

seems to me that the AD is in a really bad spot, and that his "cold gun" yell pretty much absolves Alec: "Assistant director Dave Halls fetched a prop gun from a cart outside the church and yelled “cold gun!,” indicating it was unloaded. He then handed it to Baldwin..." (source (https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/26/entertainment/rust-alec-baldwin-shooting-unfolded-cec/index.html)). but i'm not a lawyer, so...

I don’t see how “did he pull the trigger or not” is really the relevant point of contention here.

in the early days of this celebrity scandal, Alec claimed that he "didn't even pull the trigger, the gun went off all by itself" (i.e. malfunctioned).  court docs released today include an assessment that the gun was in normal working order, i.e. they have no reason to believe it misfired - implying that Alec pulled the trigger, and that he lied.  not a good look for someone claiming innocence.

Post by: vansmack on January 19, 2023, 03:38:15 pm
seems to me that the AD is in a really bad spot, but i'm not a lawyer, so...

He's already plead guilty to a lesser charge:

"In exchange for a suspended sentence, the film’s first assistant director, Dave Halls, who handed Mr. Baldwin the gun, agreed to a plea deal, admitting there was sufficient evidence to convict him of negligent use of a deadly weapon."  (NYT, not CNN).

The other two did not plead and here we are.  I think the DA has political ambitions and wanted to see her name in the paper on this.  I doubt the judge finds probable cause for Baldwin, possible criminal negligence for the armorer, but not involuntary manslaughter.  It's a flimsy case resting on "industry standards or practices" and not legal requirements.  Industry standards are great in civil cases, but are almost useless in criminal cases.  The DA was probably frustrated because the 15 month investigation did not reveal who the real criminal is: whomever brought the live ammo to the set.     
Title: Re: Celebrity Crime & Scandal Blog
Post by: sweetcell on January 19, 2023, 03:50:04 pm
I think the DA has political ambitions

indeed, looks like she's chasing the "tough on crime" vote, and likely the "tough on the libs" vote too:

District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies outlined why the deadly on-set shooting could result in criminal charges regardless of whether it was an accident.

"Just because it is an accident doesn't mean that it's not criminal," Carmack-Altwies said in an interview with CNN.

"Our involuntary manslaughter statute covers unintentional killings, unintentional homicides," the district attorney continued. "Unintentional means they didn't mean to do it, they didn't have the intent to kill, but it happened anyway — and it happened because of more than mere negligence, because they didn't exercise due caution or circumspection, and that's what happened here."

Oh, I get that. I'm saying it seems like a weird, self-inflicted moving of the goalposts by the Baldwin camp to frame this around "did he pull the trigger or not" when you and I are both saying "well, if he had reason to believe it was an unloaded prop gun, pulling the trigger is neither intent nor negligence." I feel like there's a path where some expert can now prove "the gun went off because of a trigger pull and nothing else is possible" and then Baldwin is a "liar" and liars get convicted even if the lie is immaterial.

if this is conventional wisdom/popular opinion, then the right has already won.  and i get it, stormy had her moment in the spotlight what seems like eons ago in this age of short attention spans. 

what, exactly, has trump successfully defended himself against?  reminder: in the stormy affair, trump was never criminally accused of anything.  she sued him first to have the NDA invalidated, and then later for libel.

michael cohen got 3 years for his involvement so clearly there were crimes committed: campaign finance violations, business record falsification, tax evasion, bank fraud, etc. 

the state DA investigated trump and declined to prosecute him for what she focused on, valuation manipulations and insurance fraud.  lots of reasons other than innocence can explain why a DA doesn't proceed with a case.  the manhattan DA has, as far as we know, honed in the stormy's payments.  so, different crimes (AKA not the same traffic ticket... also, using a traffic ticket as an analogy on minimizes the crimes).

there is a theory out there that the DA might be going for more than just individual, unrelated crimes.  instead, they might try making this a RICO (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racketeer_Influenced_and_Corrupt_Organizations_Act) case by arguing that the long list of (at times low-level) crimes are symptomatic of an inherently corrupt organization.  should they go for this grand-slam, more crimes will be heaped on to the stormy thing.

since we don't have a "not-a-celebrity search & rescue blog", imma just leave this here:

Lotus band member and son disappear on kayaking trip (https://www.9news.com/article/entertainment/music/colorado-music/lotus-chuck-morris-missing-arkansas-beaver-lake/73-d4f5f044-590d-4478-9aaa-f2215d3668fe)
The band wrote on Facebook that they'd been hoping for a miracle but acknowledged the search for Chuck Morris and his son Charley is now a recovery mission.

Donald Trump just said that he be arrested on Tuesday next week. 

He wrote on Truth Social, “The far & away leading Republican candidate & former President of the United States of America will be arrested on Tuesday of next week
So what happened, was really hoping for a perp walk

His supporters were pretty lackluster

That's too bad about Curry, I thought maybe he was.
I may be way off because I don't follow NBA ball super close but isn't he like super fundamentalist?

i just googled "is Steph Curry religious?" and wow, yup, he's a fundie.  articles have headlines like "How Steph Curry Carries the Bible with Him On and Off the Court", "Why Isn't Steph Curry's Religion as Polarizing as Tim Tebow's?", and "Stephen Curry: 'I Can Do All Things Through Christ'".  i had no idea.

But he's married to that hottie Bridget Fonda. Why would he feel the need to pull a stunt like this?

He'll be out in time to star in "That '20's Show", an update on what's going on with the "That 70's Show" characters fifty years later. This will be about the same time that the Hollywood Writers strike ends.
