Lindsay Lohan Lawyer Destroyed By Judge: You’re INCOMPETENT!

Lindsay Lohan has an incompetent lawyer representing her. Straight from the mouth of Judge Jim Dabney, the man in charge of her criminal case. Dabney reamed out Mark Heller, saying he was incompetent to practice law in California and Lohan has to get another lawyer who knows what he’s doing. That or waive her right to a competent California lawyer. Seriously. The judge informed Heller he screwed up the legal documents he filed by not following California law, and denied his motion to dismiss Lohan’s case. Heller tried to blame the previous lawyer, but the judge had none of it, questioning his knowledge of criminal law or competence to handle the case. To make matters worse, the California lawyer who’s sponsoring Heller to appear in LiLo’s case didn’t show up today, and the judge made note of that. Prosecutor Terry White made it clear that he’s ready for trial on March 18, where Lindsay Lohan faces jail time for lying to cops and violating probation. Quick refresher: She wrecked her car in June and said her assistant was driving, which was not true. This also triggered a probation violation, potentially. Heller pleaded that Lindsay Lohan should be shown both “mercy and compassion,” but offered little in the way of legal specifics … or competence. There was also no mention made of the ongoing plea bargain negotiations, which Lindsay has put the kibosh on so far because they involve rehab. She’s a moron , but it sounds like Heller far exceeds her in that arena.

Kanye West: Home for Sale!

Got a spare $3.3 million lying around, THGers? Then Kanye West’s bachelor pad could be yours! The rapper has placed his three-bedroom, 3.5 bathroom mansion on the market today because he’s preparing to move into a much larger mansion with Kim Kardashian . Those two are dating and she is expecting his baby, in case you have not been on the Internet in a few months. Kanye attempted to sell this same resident in 2010 for more than $4 million and the comparables in the area are going for around $2.5 million. So we’ll see what he can pull off. Kanye and Kim, meanwhile, recently purchased a $9 million home in Beverly Hills. It is 14,000 square feet. Big enough for both their egos!

Rory McIlroy Quits Golf Tournament, Blames Sore Wisdom Tooth

Sitting at seven-over par in the second round of the Honda Classic, Rory McIlroy stunned the golf world today when he simply dropped out of the tournament. The world’s top-ranked player initially told reporters in the parking lot that he was in a “bad place mentally,” later apologizing and explaining via statement: “I sincerely apologize. I have been suffering with a sore wisdom tooth, which is due to come out in the near future. It began bothering me again last night, so I relieved it with Advil. It was very painful again this morning, and I was simply unable to concentrate. It was really bothering me and had begun to affect my playing partners. “I came here with every intention of defending my Honda Classic title. Even though my results haven’t revealed it, I really felt like I was rounding a corner. This is one of my favorite tournaments of the year and I regret having to make the decision to withdraw, but it was one I had to make.” The PGA Tour does allow a player to withdraw during a round due to “injury or other disability which requires medical attention, or serious personal emergency.” However, the rules also stipulate that McIlroy will ineligible to win the 2013 PGA Tour scoring title, something he accomplished last year. Of course, we all know the real reason Rory dropped out: who would not want to go home to Caroline Wozniacki ?!?

Jedi Mind Meld: Obama Can’t Budge Congress, Use Correct Star Wars Lingo

Hmm. No wonder the White House won’t build a Death Star for us. At a press conference today, Barack Obama proved that while he may be our coolest-ever President, even he needs to bone up on his pop cultural references. Speaking to the press about sequestration and forging a bipartisan budget reform agreement, Obama said he can’t perform a “Jedi mind meld” on Congress. Maybe because there is no such thing as a Jedi mind meld. Obama Jedi Mind Meld His point: much as he would like to simply MAKE Republican leaders agree to his spending cuts, he is “not a dictator” and you need two sides to compromise. What Obama probably meant was to reference either the “Jedi Mind Trick” from Star Wars … or the “Vulcan Mind Meld” from Star Trek often used by Spock. Points for trying, B. A for effort.
