I used the scooter, broke it in half,” Aretha said. Luis Jimenez and Jose Lugo have been charged with aggarvated robbery.   RELATED STORIES: Video Shows Detroit Cop Forcing Young Black Woman To Walk In Freezing Cold, Calls It ‘Black Girl Magic’ Jussie Smollett Speaks Out About Attack: ‘I Fought The F**k Back.’

Mom Fights Back Against Carjacker, Puts Assailant in the Hospital

Dorothy Baker told the man who carjacked her that he “messed with the wrong witch.” If he’s even conscious in the hospital right now, he’d likely agree with that comment. With her two kids in the car, Baker daringly fought off the carjacker, punching him in the face and crashing into a pole in an attempt to throw him out. Mom Fights Off Carjacker The Texas mother engaged in terrifying fight behind the wheel of her car that ended with Ismael Martinez, 54, being thrown out, run over and hospitalized. “I told him he messed with the wrong witch,” Baker told ABC after he sneaked into the back of her parked, unlocked minivan while she was at CVS. Allegedly holding a knife to her oldest son, she says he demanded that she drive him to the nearest ATM. Little did Martinez know what he was in for. “He popped up out of the backseat and said that if I didn’t want my kids to get hurt, that I would do exactly what he said,” Baker emotionally recalled. “I took my fist and I hit him in the face. I told him to get out of my car.” Then she drove her vehicle into a pole, hoping to send him through the windshield and/or injure him. Failing that, she tried to throw him out – while calling 911. When Martinez finally jumped out of her car, hoping to escape on foot, he had yet to see the end of her rage – she took him down WITH THE VAN. “I didn’t mean to run him over,” Dorothy Baker says misty eyed. “I was just trying to stop him so he didn’t hurt anybody else.” Martinez was airlifted to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston with serious injuries. He’s expected to face felony charges, adding to prior rape and burglary convictions.

Miley Cyrus See Through Goodness

I was kind of hoping that Miley Cyrus’ haircut was all some sort of elaborate hoax, just a poorly made Justin Bieber wig perhaps, but it looks like it’s the real deal. Here she is having her picture taken with some chicks on the street, looking like someone you’d expect to see washing your windshield with a filthy old rag. I’m just kidding, squeegee kids don’t normally wear fancy bras and see through tops. Thanks Miley.

Miranda Cosgrove Bus Accident Details Emerge

‘iCarly’ star’s driver was the most seriously injured in the ‘life-threatening’ crash. By Jocelyn Vena Miranda Cosgrove Photo: Michael Buckner/ Getty Images After news broke on Thursday that Miranda Cosgrove had been injured in a tour bus accident, new details are emerging about what is being described as a potentially “life-threatening” accident. The “iCarly” star and her fellow passengers, including her mother, were shaken up by the crash, according to multiple reports. On Friday (August 12), Cosgrove, who had yet to comment publicly on the accident, took to Twitter to let her fans know she’s doing fine and appreciates all of their support.”Thank u so much for all your messages,” the teen star tweeted . “They mean so much to me. Yesterday was extremely scary & I’m just so happy everyone’s gonna be okay.” TMZ reported that it was dark out when Cosgrove’s bus came across a semi-truck, en route to Kansas, the next stop on her Dancing Crazy Tour. The singer/actress’ bus driver decided that instead of trying to swerve out of the way of the truck, he would hit the brakes and face the vehicle head on. He was the most seriously injured of the group, and was airlifted to a local hospital, where he received as many as 45 stitches. He is currently in stable condition, according to sources. Photos from the crash show extensive damage to front of the bus and the semi-truck appeared to have overturned onto the side of the road. “Miranda’s mom was on the bus with her and got really beaten up by the crash,” a source told People. “She’s expected to fully recover, but it’s scary because the driver was hurt, too, and he’s in really bad shape.” The source added that the teen star was “really shaken up” by the crash. “A piece from the tractor-trailer went straight through the windshield and the driver’s arm was sliced all the way through,” according to the magazine’s source. Cosgrove had been sleeping on a couch at the front of the bus when the accident occurred. Those sleeping in the bunks farther back were not injured.

Details Emerge on "Life-Threatening" Miranda Cosgrove Tour Bus Accidenti

New details have emerged on what a source is referring to as a “life-threatening” crash today involving a tour bus carrying Miranda Cosgrove and many others. As previously reported, the singer broke her ankle when her vehicle – which was headed for a concert date on Kansas – collided with a busted tractor-trailer. According to a People Magazine insider: “Miranda’s mom was on the bus with her and got really beaten up by the crash. She’s expected to fully recover, but it’s scary because the driver was hurt, too, and he’s in really bad shape.” Those sleeping in the back of the bus were unaffected, but Cosgrove absorbed the impact because she was asleep on a sofa closer to the front. “This was a life-threatening crash,” the source added, saying the driver is in critical condition. “A piece from the tractor-trailer went straight through the windshield and the driver’s arm was sliced all the way through.” Cosgrove has postponed her tour “until further notice” and hopes to return to the stage some time this fall.

Lawsuits: Danroy Henry Parents Sue The Pace-Football-Player-Killing Pigs

It’s time to for killer cop Aaron Hess to pay up. We will never forget the murder of DJ Henry by the crooked New York police. The parents of a college football player from Massachusetts have filed a federal lawsuit against the New York police officer who shot and killed him. Pleasantville Officer Aaron Hess, who was cleared by a grand jury in February, was sued Wednesday. His lawyer did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Hess shot Danroy Henry Jr., of Easton, Mass., through the windshield of his car on Oct. 17 as Henry drove away from a disturbance outside a bar. Hess has said he was hit by the car and had no choice but to fire. In the lawsuit, filed in White Plains, N.Y., the parents say Hess jumped in front of the car and had no good reason to shoot. They ask for damages for their son’s death and their suffering. This was no accidental shooting — an innocent young man with a promising future has been robbed of a promising future. Justice must be served. R.I.P. DJ! Source

Extra Seriously Injured During Stunt on Transformers 3 Set

During a surely ridiculous stunt on the set of Transformers 3 , 24-year-old extra Gabriella Cedillo was seriously injured when a metal cable cut through the windshield of her Toyota and “sliced through her skull.” The aspiring actress (and current bank teller) was airlifted to a nearby hospital with serious head trauma. Deadline reports that Cedillo — who obviously has no training as a stunt performer — was paid $25 for the use of her car. [ Deadline , ABC Chicago ]

California: Removal of Gas Station Nozzle Auto-Flow Levers Mandated by October 2010

Auto-Flow Gas Levers Must Be Removed: Fire Marshal By JESSICA GREENE Updated 2:57 PM PDT, Tue, Aug 24, 2010 Setting the gas pump to flow while you wash your windshield or take care of other duties could become a thing of the past come October. California fire officials on Monday announced they're mandating the removal of those latches that keep the gas flowing after releasing the pump handle. Some of the latches have been sticking in the open position, leaving them to overflow and cause serious injuries or pose fire dangers, officials said. The pumps affected are made by Vapor System Technologies and are marked with the label VST. That includes 3,000 gas stations — about a third of the pumps across California. Gas station operators must have the pump latches removed by the Oct. 15 deadline. Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokseman Daniel Berlant said the gas pump handles must be removed until a “permanent solution or new nozzle is ready,” the Sacramento Bee reports. Gas station operators are also advised to post signs telling people that the clips have been removed from the gas handles and warning them to not wedge anything in the handle to keep the gas flowing. Officials worry that people will try to get around the latchless pumps by sticking gas caps in them or some other device to keep the gas flowing without squeezing the handle. Replacement latches are being made to fix the problem. Letters were sent in May to gas stations throughout the state advising them of the latch problems. added by: EthicalVegan

Kelly Brook And Her Tasty Cupcakes

Kelly Brook took to the stage the other night to show off her acting skills in “Calendar Girls” at the Noel Coward Theatre in London’s West End. I don’t know if the play was any good, but she showed off more than just her acting skills if you ask me, those cupcakes look good enough to eat and possibly rub all over the windshield of my car while I sit inside and listen to a medley of Bon Jovi’s greatest hits.
