Jesus Take The Wheel: Female Enforcer Strangles Aspiring Model And Actress To Death On Her Boss’ Instructions Over A Business Deal Gone Wrong

Crazy. This lady killed an aspiring model and was paid to do so! Female Enforcer Strangles Woman to Death According to Mail Online It is a murder mystery straight out of Hollywood – a young actress and model strangled to death allegedly by the female enforcer of a shady businessman who has fled the country. This Monday, jury selection will begin in the long awaited murder trial of Kelly Soo Park, 47, who prosecutors in Southern California believe killed Juliana Redding, 21, with her bare hands in March 2008. Prosecutors say that Park worked as ‘muscle’ – described as a James Bond-style figure for Dr. Munir Uwaydah, who sent her to ‘intimidate and threaten’ the aspiring actress at her Santa Monica apartment. Redding, originally from Tucson, Arizona, appeared in low-budget films and also modeled for Maxim magazine and was found beaten to death in her home on March 17th, according to Los Angeles County District Attorney Office records. Building their case, prosecutors claim that Uwaydah dated Redding and was also in the midst of planning a pharmaceutical business with her father, Greg Redding. However, the plans for this fell apart five days before Juliana’s death according to the Los Angeles Times because Redding doubted his business partners legitimacy. While Uwaydah has since left the United States following Redding’s death, he has not been charged in the murder. Prosecutors allege though, that Park and her boyfriend worked as ‘debt collectors’ for the spinal surgeon and California businessman on at least two occasions The doctor referred to Park as ‘James Bond,’ according to court documents – Park currently remains free on $3.5 million bail. According to documents seen by the Los Angeles Times, Park was officially employed as Uwaydah’s real estate broker, but was paid hundreds of thousands of extra dollars to collect debts for him. Court documents show prosecutors allege Park received a $250,000 payment from Uwaydah just weeks before Redding was killed Investigators in the case have said that Park has been linked to the crime by DNA evidence found on Redding’s neck, however, defense attorney’s argue that the real killer is Redding’s boyfriend at the time, John Gilmore. Gilmore was cleared as a suspect in the immediate aftermath of the murder, insisting that he had several people who could offer him an alibi according to CBS News. ‘They’re trying to point the finger at Gilmore, saying he had, at one time, allegedly assaulted his ex-girlfriend,’ ABC News legal analyst Dana Cole said. The defense alleges that Gilmore’s assault of his fianceé Melissa Ayala casts doubt on the guilt of Park. They allege that Ayala told a defense attorney that Gilmore choked her saying, ‘that he was going to make her feel what Juliana felt. More and more people show their disregard for human life.

Too Grown? Will Smith’s Son Jaden Smith Wants To Be “Emancipated” So He Can Move Out His Parent’s House And Ball Out Of Control In His Own Crib

You got to watch these Smith kids . Willow likes to cut her hair short and dye it all types of ghetto colors and Jaden dates Kylie Jenner. Need we say more. Will Smith’s Son Wants to Move Out According to Radar Online Jaden Smith doesn’t even have his driver’s license, but he is ready to buy his own home and get emancipated from his famous parents. In a new interview with The Sun, Will Smith reveals that his 14-year-old son and After Earth costar recently told him that he wants legal freedom and independence from him and Jada Pinkett so he can buy his own house and live alone – and RadarOnline.com has the details. Will explains that Jaden, who will be celebrating his 15th birthday in July and is close pals with 19-year-old Justin Bieber, asked for a very unique gift. “He says, ‘Dad, I want to be emancipated.’ I know if we do this, he can be an emancipated minor, because he really wants to have his own place, like ‘Ooh,’” Will explained. “That’s the backlash. On the other side, if kids just want to have command of their lives, I understand.” Will, who has two other children, Willow, 12, and Trey, 19, reveals he has a laid back approach to parenting and doesn’t believe in reprimanding his kids. “We generally don’t believe in punishment,” he says. “From the time Jaden was five or six, we would sit him down, and all he has to do is be able to explain why what he did was the right thing for his life. I think it’s a much more difficult question to ask someone —’Why was that right?’ — than to try to show them why it was wrong. “Nobody wants to be wrong, all parts of yourself fight like crazy to not be wrong. So I’ll say to Jaden, ‘Why was that the right thing to do for your life?’ and if he can explain why kicking his sister in the chest was the right thing to do, we can see to it that he understands that it wasn’t so smart.” Do you think Jaden is too young to be on his own?

Stop The Violence: 19 People Shot At Mother’s Day Parade In New Orleans

WTF is wrong with people? Mother’s Day was marred for crowds in New Orleans this weekend after a parade for the occasion was shattered by gun violence . Via NOLA.com reports : A Mother’s Day second-line shooting on Frenchmen Street in the 7th Ward, on Sunday about 1:45 p.m., left 19 people injured, according to the latest NOPD numbers. Earlier Sunday afternoon, NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas said that about 12 people had been injured, but the toll later grew to 19, with the NOPD explaining that some victims initially hadn’t reported being injured and more people continue to come forward. Police said 10 adult men, seven adult women, a 10-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl were struck by bullets. Both of the 10-year-old victims had graze wounds to the body and were in good condition. A man and a woman were reported to be in surgery Sunday evening. The shooting occurred in the 1400 block of Frenchmen Street at the intersection of North Villere Street. Immediately after the shooting police reported seeing three suspects running from the scene. One suspect was seen running on Frenchman toward North Claiborne, police said. NOPD spokeswoman Remi Braden said many of the victims were grazed, some by bullets that ricocheted. “At this point, there are no fatalities, and most of the wounds are not life-threatening,” she said in an email. “But all medical conditions are not known at this time as victims were rushed to nearby hospitals,” Braden continued. “Detectives are conducting interviews, retrieving any surveillance video in the area and, of course, collecting all evidence. This is an extremely unusual occurrence, and we’re confident that we will make swift arrests.” In a separate report an FBI spokeswoman made sure to be clear this incident was not the work of terrorists: Mary Beth Romig, a spokeswoman for the FBI in New Orleans, said federal investigators have no indication that the shooting was an act of terrorism. ‘‘It’s strictly an act of street violence in New Orleans,’’ she said. What the hell is going on? We can’t even have a peaceful Mother’s Day second line? We gotta do better people. Lauren McGaughy/Michael DeMocker/NOLA.com/Times-Picayune

I’m Neuza, I’m 20 years old and I’m from…

I’m Neuza, I’m 20 years old and I’m from Portugal . I remember always thinking, *Justin will never come to Portugal* but then in 2012 they announced that he was coming in 2013! Finally my idol was coming to my country after 4 years of waiting. The moment I had my ticket in my hand, I knew that I had to meet him, to hug him and tell that I love him. I started to participate in so many contests. One day, one of my friends created an account on Bieberfever but she said that she didn’t have enough merchandise to win the contest so I decided to take a picture of my stuff and she could send it, since the winner wins a double 2 M&G’s. On Sunday, the day before the concert, I was talking with that friend on skype and after a while she started saying, “OMG OMG, NEUZA WE ARE GOING TO MEET JUSTIN, WE WON!” I started crying so much, I couldn’t believe it. On the day of the concert I was there from 6 a.m. with my other friend that was going to meet Justin. I had tears in my eyes but I was in shock while we were in line. Suddenly, Justin put his head out of the curtains saying that they could start and we started screaming, “JUSTIN, JUSTIN!” The energy was amazing. When it was my time to enter I was shaking so much. They took the picture but before we had to go. I hugged him and I knew at that moment that all I went through to support him was worth it. When I left the hug, he looked into my eyes and smiled and I smiled too. I even hugged Alfredo and said Hi to Jeremy and Jaxon. When I left the M&G I was shaking, crying, and to be honest it was the best day of my life. I always read “My Bieber Experience” but I always thought that I would never be able to write my own. Dreams do come true, you just have to believe. -@NeuzaC13 Continue reading here: I’m Neuza, I’m 20 years old and I’m from…

Chris Brown and Rihanna Get NASTY … on Twitter!

Looks like it’s SO ON between Chris Brown and Rihanna … just not in the romantic sense this time. More like the passive-aggressive Twitter feud sense. The latest Chris Brown-Rihanna split was confirmed by the R&B star, who said earlier in the week that “Im’ma do it solo” but didn’t really get into why. From the looks of their social media accounts, there may be some lingering bitterness on both sides, not just drifting apart because of long distance, etc. You don’t have to read between the lines too aggressively when Rihanna, shortly after the split, goes and posts an Instagram image like this one: This implies that the Barbados-bred beauty lost her friends (we assume that’s what she means by “hoes” here) to get back with the controversial singer. Now that they broke up, she wants her “hoes” back. Obviously. Plenty of people were critical of Rihanna for taking Chris back – she reportedly lost Katy Perry as a BFF in particular – so it makes sense in context. In response (maybe), Brown posted a cryptic Tweet of his own: This implies that she either cheated on him or that he constantly worried about it with her on the road, which also isn’t exactly a big stretch. Brown lamented in a recent interview that he’ll never know what goes on when she’s on tour, though he did say it’d be cool if she cheated with a girl . There’s also Drake and Chris’ obvious insecurity there. If these messages really do mean what they think they mean, that’s pretty juvenile. Then again, it keeps us talking, and … they can be pretty juvenile.

I’m Diana, I’m 19 years old and have been a belieber…

I’m Diana, I’m 19 years old and have been a belieber since the OLLG video. This is my own Bieber experience and it took place on April 13, 2013. When I heard M&G tickets were going to be on sale, I did everything to get them. My parents thought they were too expensive, so I tried to do it myself. Unfortunately, I was too late and the tickets were sold out. Then on September 11th 2012, I took another look at the website and there were some tickets available again! The payment failed the first time so I had to wait for the ticket to be available again. Luckily I did it right and I had my ticket! The countdown started, 214 days to go. The day was finally here. One of my friends came but also a camera team. They recorded my preparation and interviewed me. I arrived at Gelredome around 2 o’clock. I met some beliebers first and then I had to check in at 4:45 p.m. at the M&G entrance. What an amazing feeling it was! After waiting in line for a while, the time had finally come, I was about to meet my lifesaver! We had to walk in a queue through a tunnel and at the end of the corridor was the M&G room. I dropped my bags in the hallway and was in shock. Actually I wanted to record the sound, but I totally forgot. I noticed that my scarf wasn’t in the right place, so I fixed it quickly. I was almost front in the line and saw Justin every time the curtain opened. The first thing I noticed was that he wasn’t wearing sunglasses, I could look him in his eyes! Julia was in front of me and it was her turn. I got to stand in the room. Then I got to go and stand next to Justin, on his right side. I wanted to say, “Hi” or something but I forgot how to talk. Justin grabbed my waist and pulled me closer. I looked at him, than at the camera. Suddenly I noticed Justin was holding my scarf and was playing with it. I just watched and it was so cute! He said, “I like it.” I had so much to say, but not a word left my mouth. He had a big smile and you could hear him giggle. I was pulled away by a security guard but I just let him, I was shocked! I got the VIP package, which I totally forgot about, I took it and walked into the arena. After that I went to my seat and enjoyed the concert. This was by far the best day of my life, my dream came true. -Diana (@belieber_dianaa) The rest is here: I’m Diana, I’m 19 years old and have been a belieber…

What The Hell?? Tour Guide Re-Tells Terrifying Story Of Being Swallowed Alive By A Hippo!

Whoa… Tour Guide Shares Story Of Being Swallowed Alive By Hippo This is some WILD ish….. via Huffington Post “There was a terrible, sulphurous smell, like rotten eggs, and a tremendous pressure against my chest,” Paul Templer said, recalling the moment he realized he had been swallowed by a hippopotamus. At the time, Templer was 27, a river guide taking groups of tourists down the Zambezi river near Victoria Falls, along the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. His near-death story appeared in The Guardian’s “Experience” series on Friday and has since grabbed headlines around the world. “I remember looking up through 10 feet of water at the green and yellow light playing on the surface, and wondering which of us could hold his breath the longest,” he wrote in The Guardian. “Blood rose from my body in clouds, and a sense of resignation overwhelmed me. I’ve no idea how long we stayed under — time passes very slowly when you’re in a hippo’s mouth.” The hippo’s teeth savaged Templer’s chest and left arm. But he told The Chicago Tribune in an earlier interview that he still counts himself very lucky. “I went straight down his throat. It smelled like death,” Templer said in the Tribune. And yet, when the hippo “bit into my lungs he missed my heart. He missed my liver and kidneys.” Although Templer carried a .357-caliber Magnum firearm, he told the Tribune he never got a chance to pull it. After repeated bites, Templer managed to get ashore, but his wounds included a bite so deep it revealed part of his lung. No idea how he lived to tell about this! Shutterstock
