“You can pay for school but you can’t buy class…” 10 Classy Celebrities It’s been said that the Hollyweird life is not one for the faint at heart or those without a thick skin. In addition to that, it truly takes a certain type of individual to be able to enjoy all of the perks that come along with fame and fortune, while also still managing not to spazz out and totally sabotage your reputation in the face of the ugly side of the lime light that threatens to ruin the livelihoods of celebrities every day. No one is perfect and what’s more, some regrettable reactions really are unavoidable when you find your back against the wall. But some how, some way these people have managed to hold it together, handle their personal business in private and keep it classy in the public eye….so far.

All of this… over potty training. A Dallas woman who beat her 2-year-old daughter and glued the toddler’s hands to a wall because she was struggling with potty training was sentenced Friday to 99 years in prison. Family members in the courtroom sobbed loudly as the judge announced Elizabeth Escalona’s punishment. Escalona pleaded guilty in July to felony injury to a child, but her mother and sister had asked the court for leniency on her behalf. Dallas County prosecutor Eren Price said the 23-year-old mother of five had not taken responsibility for her actions. “Elizabeth lies to hide the evil,” Price said. Defense attorney Angie N’Duka repeated that Escalona was not a monster and that she was deserving of probation or a short sentence. “She is no monster. She can be redeemed. She can be helped,” N’Duka said during closing arguments. N’Duka said Escalona asked, “What about my children?” after the sentence was announced. Price said Escalona will be eligible for parole in 30 years. N’Duka said she plans to appeal. Escalona’s family has acknowledged their dismay and anger following the attack, but her sister and her mother nonetheless asked the judge for leniency. Does this horrible mom deserve 99 years for her crime? Source
What would you do? Trailing in the polls, Money Mitt’s devotees have decided that a little divine intervention is what they need for their candidate. We all know that it’s not uncommon for religious groups to pray people up in times of need, and Mitt’s community has decided to fast this Sunday…so the strugglin’ candidate can keep up with Barack’s eloquence in the upcoming debates. According to The Huffington Post… They’ve been circulating a request via email that sympathetic Latter-day Saints join them in forgoing food and water on Sunday in a collective effort to support the candidate. “I am asking you to join me and my family … by fasting and praying for Mitt Romney that he will be blessed in the debates, which will be held Oct. 3rd,” says an email posted early Wednesday (Sept. 26) by The Student Review, an off-campus paper for Brigham Young University students. “I know that seems like such a small thing but I believe ‘from small things, great things can come about.’ “ The email went on: “I know that fasting and praying brings about miracles.” Others in the email chain have suggested putting Romney’s name on the “temple prayer roll,” which is typically reserved for those who are sick. McKay Coppins, a political reporter for BuzzFeed, also reported the fasting effort, saying that “sources who have received it said it has reached Latter-day Saints in Utah, California, Nevada and Colorado at least.” Maybe they should fast until the votes are in the morning of November 7th?

Allen West Orders Chick-Fil-A To Meeting Allen West and his tea party buddies aren’t going over well with their Chick-Fil-A support. The national Chick-fil-A controversy continued for members of the Congressional Black Caucus this week, as some members remembered when Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) had chicken and biscuits from Chick-fil-A delivered to the group’s meeting. West, a black Tea Party Republican who supports the chain restaurant’s anti-marriage equality stance, brought the food into the meeting six months ago and then walked out. It was West’s turn to provide the group with a formal lunch that week. As the only Republican member of the CBC, West hasn’t attended a meeting since the Chick-fil-A delivery. Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) said West’s move offended “every member” of the meeting. “This was an ‘in your face,’” Hastings told the Huffington Post. “He did it deliberately.” West’s delivery was fresh in Hastings’s mind because of recent comments he’d made in support of the fast food chain. Although several high profile members of the caucus support marriage equality, the group has struggled in the past with gay civil rights and black civil rights comparison. That’s an all-around d-bag move on West’s part. He sounds like an absolute jerk. We shouldn’t be surprised though. What a clown. Source
