This beyotch HAD to be off them bath salts! Moscow Mother Kills Sons Throwing Them Off Of 15th Floor Balcony A 30-year-old mother in Moscow tossed her two young children off a 15th-floor balcony Sunday because she was reportedly “fed up” with the two boys, according to Russian media. Galina Ryabkova, who is seen on surveillance video shortly after the incident, appeared emotionless after going to look at the remains of her sons, ages 4 and 7, according to RT news. The video – posted by the tabloid LifeNews.ru – begins with one of the children landing just out of frame at the bottom of a short flight of steps outside the building. A man is then seen coming out to discover the gory scene. Ryabkova also comes downstairs, the video shows. Wearing a white t-shirt and jeans, she sits in the lobby as neighbors attempt to keep the bony blonde from walking away. “My wife woke me up and said that there were children falling out,” a neighbor told Life News, according to the RT. “We ran out and saw two children lying on the ground in front of the main door. Just at that time their mother was leaving the building. We asked her if these were her children and she replied, emotionlessly, ‘Yes, I threw them away.’” Threw them away?!?! WTF?!?! Ryabkova and her family lived on the 8th floor of the apartment building, but she took the children up to the 15th before tossing them off, authorities said. The woman initially told authorities her boys were now “angels in heaven,” before refusing to talk, Sergey Markin, the Investigative Committee spokesperson, told RIA Novosti. It is unclear why Ryabkova, who reportedly had tried to commit suicide in the past, killed her two children. Some reports claim she was looking to divorce her husband, while others suggested she had recently discovered he may have been cheating on her. We don’t care if her husband was having “love triangles” with one-legged midgets, there is NO justification for throwing your children off of a balcony. There’s definitely a cozy lil’ seat in Hell for this broad. Image via HOBOCTN Source

Karen Klein, the now famous school bus bullying victim , says she does NOT accept the apologies offered by two of the Greece, N.Y., kids whose taunts drove her to tears. Klein, 68, has said she will not press charges or pursue any action against the terrible teenagers, claiming she feels sorry for them and their parents. Accepting yesterday’s apologies from the bullies , however? Not happening. Asked if she forgives the children who harassed her in light of the statements issued on Friday, she says, “Not really,” and simply adds “I think they can do better.” Two of the devil children wrote the bus monitor letters after the video went viral this week and their 10-minute verbal torture session of the woman was exposed. Klein also got a letter from the parents of a boy who participated. She and her daughter say they’re not ready to forgive , though, given what she went through. Klein also has a few suggestions about how the kids should be punished, including bans from both riding the bus and sports at school for a year or more. Considering what she endured, that could be considered lenient. Watch the video that started it all after the jump … Making the School Bus Monitor Cry The kids, whose names we are not posting here, have reportedly been the targets of death threats and harassment themselves since this broke. Regarding the HUGE donations she’s received from sympathetic Internet users, Karen Klein is nearly speechless – a windfall of $550,000 will do that. She plans to donate much of it right back into charities supporting both Down Syndrome and autism. There’s your silver lining to the above awfulness.
‘At the end of the day, mom took care of home,’ ‘Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta’ star Scrappy tells ‘RapFix Live.’ By Rob Markman, with reporting by Sway Calloway Lil Scrappy on “RapFix Live” Photo: One episode in, VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” already has captivated audiences with its wild cast of characters. Perhaps the most magnetic of the bunch is Momma Dee, mother to rap star Lil Scrappy . Momma Dee comes off as overprotective and overbearing, but it is clear that there is nothing she wouldn’t do for her children, including selling drugs and pimping to make ends meet. When Lil Scrappy appeared on Wednesday’s “RapFix Live,” he opened up about the lengths his mother went to to provide for him. “Mom dukes was layin’ it down hard back in the day when I was coming up,” Lil Scrappy said. He recalled a time when a prostitute who was working for his mother left to join with a rival pimp. When Momma Dee finally met up with her ex-worker, violence ensued and a young Scrappy was there to witness it all. “My mama caught her slippin’ in traffic and bust her across the head with a crowbar,” he recalled. “That crowbar was stuck in her head and she was sittin’ there shakin’.” While the incident affected him at the time, the ATL rapper now awkwardly laughs it off. While Scrappy admits that he had to see some pretty awful things as a youngster, he doesn’t resent his mom for any of it. “I had to sleep in a room with mom dukes, and my little sister because all the whores was using the rooms to do their thing,” he said. “But at the end of the day, mom took care of home. Me and my sister ain’t never had to hurt for nothin’.” Related Videos ‘RapFix Live’ Gets Scrappy Related Artists Lil Scrappy
In 2008’s B-movie hit Taken , Liam Neeson cracked skulls across Europe in search of his kidnapped daughter. In October’s Taken 2 , director Olivier Megaton and producer/co-writer Luc Besson set out to achieve something rare — An actual continuation of story! Multi-film character development! Unexpected moral examinations! — a proper sequel, in other words, as evidenced by the first trailer viewable after the jump. The concept for Taken 2 was already promising on paper: The daughter Neeson saved in the first movie (Maggie Grace) must now help save her parents from the vengeance-seeking gangster father (Rade Šerbedžija) of the baddies Neeson murdered in his fatherly rage. The film’s new trailer delivers on this front, demonstrating what few sequels or reboots or re-jiggered whatchamacalits these days bother to do properly: Expand on their predecessors in new and interesting ways. Neeson’s ex-operative Bryan Mills seems to be the same guy he was in Taken , but the plot turns his righteous actions in the first film on their head; another father out there is mourning, and wants bloody revenge. Who’s to say Šerbedžija’s paternal pain doesn’t warrant its own reckoning? Is this a mindless action sequel or a meditation on the cycle of vengeance and a parent’s drive to protect their children at any moral cost? Meanwhile, Grace (whom Besson attempted to turn into an action star earlier this year in the Guy Pearce vehicle Lockout ) has the opportunity to morph her victimized daughter character into a heroine. Look at the way she leaps over rooftops like a lady Jason Bourne! Turning Kim into an action hero not only makes up for how wimpy and naive she seemed (a perception magnified by my residual resentment of Grace’s turn as the useless Shannon on LOST , I’ll admit), it could turn Taken into a bona fide franchise instead of, as too many hit films become, a series of diminishing, direct-to-DVD quality returns featuring declining marquee actors/C-listers/WWE stars. And we haven’t even seen the fighting potential of ex-wife (and now-kidnap victim) Lenore, though the lethal potential of Famke Janssen’s thighs is a historically documented cinematic fact. Taken 2 is set for release on October 5. Let’s hope it lives up to the potential. Thoughts?

And doesn’t it make sense? With the final installment of the mega franchise coming out, how could there not be a ton of cash? Notes the publication, “At this point, could anyone else play Bella Swan in Twilight ?” Good point! The publication, which dishes out the super rich and famous wealth numbers annually said Stewart made an estimated $12.5 million plus a share of the profits from the mega-franchise in her last two stints on Twilight , but she also made more cash via Snow White and the Huntsman this past year. According to Forbes Stewart’s total earnings between May 2011 and May 2012 totaled a whopping $34.5 million. Not bad for a 22 year-old. She is the youngest person on the list by 16 years. In the previous year, the actress ranked 5th in the list (tied with Julia Roberts). And coming in second on the list is Cameron Diaz who is estimated to have earned $34 million in the same time period. Her big cash cow came courtesy of Bad Teacher , which Forbes noted only cost $20 million to make but brought in $216 million worldwide. Last year’s top earning actresses were Angelina Jolie and Sarah Jessica Parker who each cha-chinged $30 million between May 2010 and May 2011.

If the world were ending imminently — say, in three weeks — would you throw off the shackles of social confines and indulge in every crazy impulse the moment inspired? Would you seek out your loved ones in order to spend your last days in their company? Would you just stay put and continue on as normal right up until the final moment? Seeking a Friend for the End of the World , the directorial debut of Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist writer Lorene Scafaria, combines a deviously tragicomic take on the approaching annihilation of mankind with a irritatingly unconvincing and unnecessary love story. Until romance reluctantly but unavoidably creaks into the story (seeking a friend, my ass), the film starts off so well, exploring the most prosaic of upcoming apocalypses as seen through the eyes of Dodge ( Steve Carell ), a man whose life has been largely unexceptional and is now about to come to an end, along with most everyone else’s. (One of the film’s nice touches is an overheard radio broadcast about how the planet’s best and brightest are being gathered into some kind of ark — a standard issue global cataclysm plot point never touched on again, because the characters in this film aren’t exceptional enough to be plucked up.) At the outset beginning, he and his wife listen to a news announcement about how a last effort to stop a giant asteroid headed toward us has failed, and that impact was in an estimated 21 days. She looks at him, and then runs for the hills, never to be seen again. For a while, Dodge keeps going into work at his insurance company, where his boss notes that the few remaining employees are allowed to dress like it’s casual Friday every day, and wonders if anyone would like to take over as CFO. On the TV, there’s news that air travel has ended and cell phones are no longer working. At a dinner party being thrown by Dodge’s friends Warren (Rob Corddry) and Diane (Connie Britton), polite talk about what attendees plan to do with the rest of their time (one member suggests she’s going to finally take that pottery class she’s been meaning to) devolves into wild debauchery, getting the children drunk and someone arriving with hard drugs like you would a nice bottle of wine for the table. “I regret my entire life,” Dodge says, and seems ready to let that be the sentiment with which he waits out Armageddon, until he has a chance encounter with his neighbor Penny ( Keira Knightley ), a flaky, teary Brit who has just broken up with her boyfriend Owen (Adam Brody) and now mourns the fact that she has no way to make it back to England to see her family one last time. She also has a pile of his letters that were accidentally put in her box — three years worth — including one from his high school girlfriend saying he’s the love of her life. Penny has a car and Dodge knows someone who has a plane, and the two make a deal to help each other get where they need to go. Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is primarily a meander through random encounters on the road toward Dodge’s old sweetheart, most of them wild-eyed but sweet — aside from a riot that springs up in Los-Angeles-barely-pretending-to-be-New-York, where the pair live, the film’s world is good-hearted even when faced with impending doom. Whether encountering survivalists or the dedicated, giddy employees of a chain restaurant, everyone quivers with a delirious what-the-hell vibe that’s melancholy and amusing. Our obsession with the apocalypse is stronger than ever — it practically merits its own movie subsection, if its too scattered to be a genre. There’s no reason why the end of the world shouldn’t get the romantic comedy treatment, but the connection that springs up between Dodge and Penny feels awkward and forced. It’s not just that Carell is 22 years older than Knightley, or that the process in which he falls in love with her consists of him staring puppy-dog like while she weeps on the phone to her family — it’s that the idea of two people finding an unexpected connection to one another and offering up kindness in desperate times is actually much more touching than the insistence that they’re last-minute soulmates. Carell and Knightley have no spark of romantic chemistry between them — in fact, they actually clash in more interesting ways, with Dodge being a morose wet blanket and Penny coming across as a disaster who tends to allow major mistake to happen and then cry about them. The things they stumble onto — dinner in an abandoned house, a line of people headed to the beach — have a warm, wistful tangibility to them, in the way that you’d think the conscious gathering of last experiences would. Seeking a Friend for the End of the World ‘s effusive declarations of love just seem like the stagey stuff of movies — they’ve got nothing on the moment in which Dodge lies on the carpet and listens the Walker Brothers’ “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine (Anymore)” on vinyl while he waits for the earth to be destroyed.

42,000 Adults And Children Kept As Slaves Rescued, Millions Still In Bondage Modern-day slavery is a huge issue globally: More than 42,000 adults and children kept as slaves, forced into prostitution or otherwise trafficked were discovered by authorities around the world in 2011, according to a new report by the U.S. State Department. However this figure was a tiny fraction of the estimated number of people held in bondage with the International Labor Organization estimating earlier this month that there are about 20.9 million victims of modern slavery, the State Department Trafficking in Persons Report noted. Under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2003, foreign governments must supply information about trafficking investigations and prosecutions to the State Department in order to be considered by the U.S. as working to eliminate slavery. The report details the problem of trafficking in countries around the world, including victims’ accounts. “I walk around and carry the physical scars of the torture you put me through. The cigarette burns, the knife carvings, the piercings … how a human being can see humor in the torture, manipulation, and brainwashing of another human being is beyond comprehension. You have given me a life sentence,” it quotes a victim of sex trafficking in the U.S. as telling her trafficker at his sentencing. Another trafficking survivor in the U.S. named “Tonya” said she “always felt like a criminal.” “I never felt like a victim at all. Victims don’t do time in jail, they work on the healing process. I was a criminal because I spent time in jail,” she said. Source
Couple, who have two children together, have ‘amicably separated.’ By Brendan Dempsey Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis Photo: Johnny Depp is back on the market. After a relationship that spanned 14 years, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star has officially called it quits with his longtime girlfriend, French actress Vanessa Paradis. In a statement to ABC News , Depp’s publicist stated that the couple had “amicably separated.” The statement asks that people “respect their privacy and, more importantly, the privacy of their children.” Depp, 48, and Paradis, 39, have two children together but were never married. The two met in 1998 and moved in together shortly after that. They made their home in Plan-de-la-Tour in the south of France, where they stayed for several years. When asked about marriage, Paradis told Elle magazine, “I love the romance of ‘let’s get married,’ but then, when you have it so perfect … I mean, I’m more married than anybody can be — we have two kids. Maybe one day, but it’s something I can really do without.” Many sources have reported that the relationship has been rocky for some time now. Hints that the relationship was deteriorating began to surface after they returned to L.A. from France. Depp and Paradis haven’t appeared on a red carpet as a couple in longer than a year. In 2010, Paradis hinted to Marie Claire magazine that the two were growing apart: “I could make an endless list of all the things I admire about him,” she said. “We understand that, if we want our relationship to continue, we must give each other space, allow each other to go off on our own, and trust each other. Not everyone is lucky enough to be given space and trust.” Depp was last seen at the MTV Movie Awards earlier this month, where he received the Generation Award and jammed with the Black Keys . He is currently looking forward to his next blockbuster project, “Pirates of the Caribbean 5,” which is slated to hit theatres in 2013.
