Ol’ good samaritan face a$$… California Woman Emily Leach Gives Away Winning Lotto Ticket To Homeless Man Emily Leach, who won a million-dollar jackpot in California last January, said she is hoping to fight the state lottery’s decision stopping her from collecting a second jackpot of $260,000 — winnings that came from a ticket Leach has famously claimed she accidentally gave away to a stranger in March. A lottery official informed her that “we gave the check to the man” in June, Leach told ABC News. Leach said she has asked a lawyer to explore her options. A California Lottery spokesman confirmed to ABC News that Leach would not receive the $260,000 jackpot, a decision reached after an “extensive investigation” by the California Lottery’s security and law enforcement division. “We feel very confident that the person who claimed the ticket is the rightful owner of the ticket and that is not Emily Leach,” Russ Lopez, the California Lottery’s deputy director of communications, told ABC News. Outside of the pain of losing that kind of gwap, there is another reason why Emily is so thirsty to get her winnings… These days, Leach, 31, is living with her mother in Reno, Nevada after being kicked out of her California home. (She said the landlord evicted her after deciding he could charge a higher rent to new tenants.) “Right now, I’m just trying to hold on to every penny,” she said. Leach said she has to stay thrifty because of her ailing health. She used part of her January winnings to pay off $300,000 in medical bills she ran up after a ruptured spleen and a life-threatening bout with pancreatitis a couple of years earlier. Leach said she still has large bills for medication she must take. It doesn’t help, Leach says, that she doesn’t have a real job anymore. She said she was put on unpaid leave from her job at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System after her first lotto win because coworkers complained that there were threats made against her after her win, and they made for an unsafe work environment. She said she was later informed that she would be terminated at the end of her leave this month. Ultimately, Emily knows it was her own dumb-a$$ fault for giving away such a precious piece of paper: “I will be the first to admit I got flustered. I shouldn’t have been doing so many things at once,” she told “20/20″ in March. “But I was just trying to help the guy.” But the California Lottery’s Lopez said that surveillance footage from the convenience store shows Leach willingly giving a man her ticket. An account of the incident given by the man claiming the ticket, Lopez said, was corroborated by the cashier who sold it. “There was no coercion,” Lopez said. “It was an act of kindness that unfortunately got messy when the numbers were drawn.” Lopez said the man who claimed the prize money has asked not to be identified. You damn skippy he asked “not to be indentified”!! Looks like you’re a$$ed out Emily, in words of the great American writer Tupac Shakur: “It’s a dirty game out here, Keep yo’ eyes on yo’ riches” Image via ABCNews/Emily Leach Source

Yet another reason for us to love this show! “Game Of Thrones” Under Fire For Using George Bush’s Head On Stake In Scene HBO has apologized for using a model head of former President George W. Bush in a grisly decapitation scene for its hit drama “Game of Thrones.” The tenth episode of the first season of “Game of Thrones,” now out on DVD, features the younger Bush’s head on a stake. Commentary on the DVD notes that his head appears in a “couple of beheading scenes.” The show creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss stated that George W. Bush’s was used as physical inspiration to create a head for a scene in which King Joffrey shows Sansa Stark her deceased father’s head on a stick. “It’s not a choice, not a political statement!” one of the writers insisted during the DVD commentary. “We just had to use what heads we had around.” HBO did not respond to FOXNews.com’s request for comment, but as outrage mounted Wednesday, the network released a statement saying they were “deeply dismayed to see this and find it unacceptable, disrespectful and in very bad taste.” HBO also said the scene would be removed from future DVD pressings. The producers also attempted to explain the incident. “We use a lot of prosthetic body parts on the show: heads, arms, etc. We can’t afford to have these all made from scratch, especially in scenes where we need a lot of them, so we rent them in bulk,” their statement read. “After the scene was already shot, someone pointed out that one of the heads looked like George W. Bush. In the DVD commentary, we mentioned this, though we should not have. We meant no disrespect to the former President and apologize if anything we said or did suggested otherwise.” Faux News is also reporting that some Tweeps want to boycott the network over this… SMH. We can see how they had to apologize and delete the scene, but you gotta admit it’s kinda funny riiiiight? Source

Kimmy Cakes is probably having the best last laugh ever! Kris Humphries’ Girlfriend Myla Sinanaj Demands An Apology For Being Labeled “Booty Call” According to TMZ reports : Kris Humphries better apologize to his former girlfriend stat, or he’s getting sued … TMZ has learned. Joe Tacopina, Myla Sinanaj’s attorney, tells TMZ … Kris has gone on a campaign of destruction against her to save his own ass in his divorce from Kim Kardashian. TMZ broke the story, Kris’ lawyers contacted the FBI, claiming Myla tried to extort him by demanding a huge sum of money or else she’d spill secrets about their relationship to the media. Tacopina tells us, “I defy them to show that she has asked for one red cent,” adding, “I challenge them to submit Kris Humphries to a polygraph and if he does I will have my client do the same. She never asked him for a penny.” But there’s more … Tacopina says Kris is a boldfaced liar by claiming Myla was a booty call. Tacopina says, “I have hundreds of text messages and phone records which show he constantly contacted her on a steady basis. He’d call her 50 times in a day.” Tacopina says Kris told Myla when pictures of them first surfaced that they had to hide the fact that they were in a relationship. Tacopina says Kris didn’t want to screw up his legal war with Kim Kardashian, adding, “It’s hard to argue you’re heartbroken when you had a steady girlfriend since January.” Tacopina says Humphries’ lawyers not only trashed Myla in the media but tried getting her fired from her hotel job. Tacopina says his client has been slandered and, “There will be a retraction and an apology by Humphries and his lawyer, or else.” So now hoes can sue for being called hoes?? Wow… Images via WENN/Facebook

Maybe they should change their names to the Oklahoma City Janitors… The Oklahoma City Thunder Beat The Los Angeles Lakers 77-75 In Game 2 Of Western Conference Semi-Final Even down late, the Oklahoma City Thunder are showing that they are never out. Kevin Durant scored 22 points and rattled in the go-ahead basket on a baseline runner with 18 seconds left, and the Thunder scored the final nine points to rally for a 77-75 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals Wednesday night. Oklahoma City trailed by seven with 2 minutes left before surging back with a series of defensive stops by its stars to claw back from that deficit in the closing stages of a game for the second time this postseason. The Thunder were also seven down with 2 1/2 minutes left in Game 1 against defending NBA champion Dallas in the first round. “They won’t quit. That’s not in their DNA,” coach Scott Brooks said. “They’re not wired that way and if they were, they wouldn’t be here. We’re not going to win every game but we’re going to fight to the last second of the game and we did that tonight.” “If we would have gotten down on ourselves with 2 minutes to go, we would have lost by 12 and we would go to L.A. 1-1.” Instead, Oklahoma City takes a 2-0 lead into Game 3 on Friday night at Staples Center. Laker coach Mike Brown spoke on the Lakers sadness and despair. “It’s not good. I don’t think anybody’s happy in there (in the locker room),” coach Mike Brown said. ”We felt like we let one slip away.” Bryant was right at the heart of the meltdown, missing two shots and having a hand in two turnovers in the final 2 minutes. The first turnover came when Durant used his nearly 7-foot frame and impressive wingspan to come up with an energizing steal and fast-break chance. “He used his length on Kobe. Coming up with that steal was huge,”Brown said. “That’s what great players are supposed to do. They’re supposed to take on the challenge at the end of the game and he did. “He won the game for them, basically.” Do you think the Lakers have ANY chance at beating these young boys in OKC??
