Source: Roger Eritja / Getty Next time you need a lawyer, make sure that his pantsuit isn’t swarming with bed bugs — like one Oklahoma lawyer who showed up to the courthouse with the pesky insects jumping off of his clothes. Rogers County Sheriff Scott Walton told reporters : “I was told the individual that had them also shook his jacket over the prosecutors files. Hard to imagine someone doesn’t know, you know that some bed bugs are crawling all over them certainly in abundance.” Courthouse officials had a meeting and decided to close the courthouse on Monday at noon. Exterminators were called to get rid of the bugs and the building was reopened early Tuesday morning. Visitors and employees were urged to seek treatment immediately. Gross.
If you didn’t believe in fate and destiny before, then Deseriee Edman ‘s story will totally change your mind. Edman has survived two of the most deadly tragedies America has faced in recent years: the fatal mass shooting inside the Borderline Bar & Grill, and the tragic wildfires that had most of Malibu in flames. CBSLA reports: Carmen Edman said her family’s harrowing escape from Malibu on Nov. 8 as the fire raged around them came a day after her daughter, Deseriee, survived the mass shooting inside the Borderline Bar & Grill. Deseriee told reporters, “Two-near death experiences that you just don’t expect. I’m trying to stay strong as possible for my family and my friends. And I’m trying to look at everything as positive as I can in these types of situations.” Is it just us, or does Edman’s story sound like a scene from the Final Destination movies? Luckily the entire family is alive and safe.
Cardravious Crump hosted a Halloween party at his moms house in Tate County, Mississippi on Sunday, and felt that all was well — until two deputy officers came into the apartment unannounced just an hour after the soiree was over. Crump and his mom discovered the policemen roaming around their kitchen — and when they asked what the issue was, the cops mentioned underage drinking, even though the party had already ended. Cardravious’ mother told reporters , “I asked him nicely to step out. I said, ‘Well then, I can talk to you, but can you step outside? [They refused] so I cursed him out. I was like, ‘You gonna get the [expletive] out my house ’cause I did not tell you to come in here.” Crump took out his phone during the altercation and cops responded, “You can turn that off. You can turn that off. You’re gonna turn that off, get that out of my face. I just told you to turn it off. I’m not gonna tell you again.” Cardravious told reports that he didn’t know what the cop was reaching for when he reached around his side, which is why he started recording. Even Tate County Sheriff Brad Lance said the deputy was wrong to ask Crump to turn off the camera. Luckily no one was hurt or arrested.
Joe Biden Announces Possible 2020 Presidential Run Many wondered why he didn’t get to it this year…but Joe Biden says he’ll get around to running for President about 4 years in the future. Via MailOnline : Biden told reporters in Washington on Monday that he is not ruling out a run for the White House, even though he would be 78 years old if he took the oath of office in a little over four years from now. The vice president reportedly made the statements with a smile, prompting some reporters to wonder if he was being serious. ‘Yeah, I am. I am going to run in 2020,’ Biden said when asked if he would run for office again. When the lame duck vice president was asked which office he wanted, he said: ‘For president. And also, you know so, what the hell man, anyway.’ Not too sure what that last little flippant part of his statement implied…but overall he seems open to it. Now mind you, Biden will be 78 years old by the time Trump’s shot at the top seat is done. Maybe that’s why he isn’t 100% about going for it…but considering. Would he have YOUR vote? AP/Getty/Twitter

Perhaps the following news will distract folks from the alleged Demi Lovato nude photo scandal: On the red carpet of the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night, Naya Rivera confirmed that Lovato will recur on Glee Season 5, providing new information on the singer’s upcoming role. “She’s playing my [character Santana’s] love interest so I’m very, very excited about that,” Rivera told reporters, adding that she will sing at least one track with Lovato and joking that “we’re bringing her to the dark side.” Demi is expected to film Glee episodes in between judging responsibilities on The X Factor, with earlier reports stating she will portray a struggling artist in New York City who also croons a duet with Adam Lambert . Cast members on that series, of course, continue to struggle with the death of Cory Monteith. A tribute episode will air in his honor this fall, with Glee returning on Thursday, September 26.
Can we hold something ?. Man Wins $86 Million Powerball Jackpot According to Mail Online A Minnesota man came forward Thursday to claim his share of a $448 million Powerball jackpot, one of the largest in history. Paul White, father of two from Ham Lake, strode into a Minneapolis press conference in along with beaming girlfriend Kim VanRees to receive a giant replica check made out for $149 million, the pre-tax amount he’ll split with two other still unnamed winners. ‘It’s crazy,’ said the 45-year-old. ‘I’ve gone through this in my mind so many times. You almost feel like it’s coming true.’ The project engineer opted for a lump sum and will therefor take home $86 million after taxes. The divorced dad made no mention of his ex-wife, nor has the mother of his son and daughter come forward with her own feelings about her ex’s win. While White’s new partner VanRees appeared overjoyed, his boss Ron Bowen was also on hand and White joked he ‘is going to end the day as my chauffeur.’ White told reporters he intends to pursue charitable endeavors, help out his parents, and buy his son the car of his dreams. As surprised as he was with the huge news he is a newly crowned millionaire, White said he always had a hunch he’d be a winner one day. The father of two teens said he played the lottery around once a month or when the the jackpot was especially big, though he said he was always ‘more of a scratch-off guy.’ He also said he nearly forgot to get tickets this week. Lucky for him, he remembered and bought $10 worth. White said he checked the 10 tickets he bought and realized he had nailed all six numbers on one of them. The ensuing hours, he said, had been a blur. ‘It’s just surreal at this point. I don’t think you guys can understand — it’s crazy. No worries anymore. It’s crazy,’ he said. Must be nice to have $86 Million to play with.
Kim Kardashian has clearly taught her sisters well: You don’t need to do anything aside from flaunt your cleavage in order to make headlines. That’s exactly what 17-year old Kendall Jenner is doing below, as she posted a photo to Instagram this week of herself on a paddleboard, leaning over seductively. “gloomy day of paddling with mah girl @spencerjohnson,” Kendall captioned the image. We have a feeling, however, that Jenner brightened up the day of many teenage boys out there with the shot.
