George Lopez was arrested last night at casino in Canada where he had one too many … or 10 too many. He got popped for public intoxication after this: Law enforcement sources say Caesars Windsor security alerted police to the Lopez “situation,” i.e.. the comedian passed out on the casino floor. The 52-year-old was arrested inside the casino bar at the Caesars Windsor; no charges were filed after Lopez was taken to a holding area to sober up. Lopez had performed at the casino just prior to his arrest. Guess it went really well? Or really badly? Either way, he’s scheduled to perform again tonight. Lopez has been released and will perform this evening … but not before he joined this awesome collection of stars who have gotten arrested here in 2014!

Kelly Blazek, a Cleveland-based PR executive and authority on local communications jobs listings, was undone by the same thing that built her up: Social media. With her ego boosted by the position she cultivated via LinkedIn and other networks, she soon became an Internet villain at the hands of someone she shunned. The irony. Blazek, for a little more back story, produced and distributed a popular email that culled job openings from online job sites and from her own contacts. She worked for 10 years building her contacts and selecting the list of people who receive the email, limiting recipients largely to those with experience. Blazek also promoted herself and the email list on social media networking sites, such as LinkedIn, where she was connected to nearly 1,000 people she knows. She’s good at what she does, and she knows it. Eventually, that inflated sense of self-importance would come back to bite her as she bought into her own hype more than and service she was providing. She bragged in speeches that she had 7,300 people on her list, building a reputation so revered that many young people felt they HAD to reach out to her. But when many newbies asked for help, she turned them down. That wasn’t the problem or newsworthy … it was the brutal way Blazek rejected them. Blazek got noticed on the web after sending a nasty response to Diana Mekota, a John Carroll University graduate moving back to the Cleveland area. Mekota asked if she could join Blazek’s LinkedIn network and receive the job listings email she held so dear. Here’s how Blazek responded in an email: 13 Idiots Who Got Fired Because of Social Media Open Slideshow 1. @CarlyCrunkBear Her handle says it all.

Moral of this story: If you’re gonna lick the shells, keep it to yourself. 3. Wendy’s Frosty Guy Ditto eating straight outta the Frosty machine … though we can understand being tempted to attempt this. 4. Miners Doing the Harlem Shake Doing the Harlem Shake on the job got these mine workers fired … dancing out of their mine, you could say. Sorry. 5. Gilbert Gottfried Gilbert Gottfried was canned as the voice of the AFLAC duck after Tweeting a series of jokes regarding the Japanese tsunami. 6. Justine Sacco Justine Sacco was axed from her PR job in 2013 for racist Tweets she fired off about AIDS during a trip to Africa. 7. Bitter Barista We can’t imagine why a Seattle coffee company axed this apparent Bitter Barista over his blog by that name. 8. The Applebee’s Waitress Who Posted This The Applebee’s waitress who was stiffed by a pastor via this receipt and posted it on Reddit actually got fired for sharing it. 9. Dayna Morales Waitress Dayna Morales posted a receipt she allegedly received from a couple chastising her for her gay lifestyle … only she made the whole thing up! 10. This DTE Energy Company Worker Some rants are better off in your head than on your Facebook page. 11. Caitlin Davis Former Patriots cheerleader Caitlin Davis was released after Facebook photos showed the Sharpie-packing pompom queen posing over a passed-out pal with naughty words, pictures and two swastikas all over him. The words “penis†and “I’m a Jew” were visible. Classy. 12. An Unimpressed Palace Guard A Buckingham Palace guard Tweeted this about Kate Middleton: “hur and william drove past me on friday n all a got was a shitty wave while she looked the opposite way from me, stupid stuck up cow am a not good enough for them! posh bitch am totally with u on this 1 who reely gives a f*** about hur!” He got the pink slip. 13. Olivia Sprauer Olivia Sprauer taught English at Martin County High School in Florida and modeled on the side under the name Victoria Valentine James. Her school didn’t think that side job was as cool as her male students did. “We have never met. We have never worked together. You are quite young and green on how business connections work with senior professionals.” “Apparently you have heard that I produce a Job Bank, and decided it would be stunningly helpful for your career prospects if I shared my 960+ LinkedIn connections with you.” To “a total stranger who has nothing to offer me”? Not happening. “Your invite to connect is inappropriate, beneficial only to you, and tacky,” the email continued. “Wow, I cannot wait to let every 25-year-old jobseeker mine my top-tier marketing connections to help them land a job. Love the sense of entitlement in your generation.” “And therefore I enjoy denying your invite, and giving you the dreaded ‘I Don’t Know’ [scribbled-out name] because it’s the truth,” she added, pouring it on. “Oh, and about your request to actually receive my Job Bank along with the 7,300 other subscribers? That’s denied, too. I suggest you join the other Job Bank in town.” “Oh wait – there isn’t one.” In response, Mekota did what many millennials do: She turned to the Internet for catharsis, posting Blazek’s response on reddit, imgur and on Facebook. The rest is history. The letter went viral, of course, because people can relate to the plight of Mekota and others like her, and Blazek’s email is so absurd it had to be shared. People on Reddit rally behind those like Mekota who get kicked when they’re down, and revel in the change to expose the Blazeks who have lost touch with reality. To her credit, she got the message, issuing an apology Tuesday that is contrite and pitch perfect. The most telling line of a seemingly sincere mea culpa: “In my harsh reply notes, I lost my perspective about how to help, and I also lost sight of kindness, which is why I started the Job Bank listings in the first place.” Lesson learned?
Miley Cyrus took some time away from kissing fellow women – first Katy Perry and then Brooke Candy – this week to defend her controversial concert actions in an interview with Ronan Farrow. Because she spends so much time on stage with little people and African-American backup dancers, the singer has come under fire during the opening week of her Bangerz tour. “It’s really funny how serious people take it,” she told Farrow on MSNBC. “And they’re like, you’re racist. And I’m like, ‘Really?’ “They’re just like dancing, doing these cute moves and they’re awesome dancers like just on their own. It’s not me telling them how to be.” What about assertions that Miley exploits little people? “We’re making them feel sexual and beautiful,” she explained, adding of one fellow dancer in particular: “We’re all about lifting her up and making her feel so sexy all the time, and having her dance — she’s actually an awesome dancer.” A former backup dancer, Hollis Jane, spoke out last year about feeling degraded while wearing a bear costume during Miley’s 2013 VMAs performance. But Cyrus shrugs it all off. She distracts herself by watching the movie Days of Thunder… a lot. “I want to be Nicole Kidman so bad,” she says. “I’m kind of obsessed and kind of want to — I don’t know if I want to be Nicole Kidman or if I want to be Tom Cruise, because his outfits are better.” 14 Photos of Miley Cyrus Not Acting Like Hannah Montana Open Slideshow 1.
