Freaky is one thing, but this is some OTHER isht Teen Facing Murder Charges In Death Of Boyfriend During Sex Via USAToday A 16-year-old girl arrested Saturday in connection with strangling her 43-year-old boyfriend during sexual activities will face trial as an adult after officials agreed to charge her with second-degree murder, according to court documents. On Saturday night police were called to an apartment complex after they received a call from Tracey Woodside, Jessica Burlew’s mother, stating that she believed her daughter’s boyfriend, Jason Ash, was dead. Glendale police say Burlew used an electrical wire to choke Jason Ash during what she claimed to be a consensual sex act. When Ash seemed to have passed out, Burlew told officers she cut him with a razor to get him to respond. She told officers that she continued to cut him to relieve her own stress, according to the documents. Ash was declared dead at about 5:45 p.m., according to the documents. Burlew told police she and Ash would often engage in these types of activities prior to sex, according to the documents. Good ol’ fashioned “regular sex” just isn’t good enough for some folks nowadays… Burlew told Woodside that her and Ash were playing sex games and he was cut on the arms and strangled with an electrical cord. Burlew claims he did not say the “safety word.” Woodside returned to the apartment to find Ash lying on the bed with a cord around his neck and cuts all over his body. She left with Burlew to call 911 and, with help from dispatch, began to give chest compressions. Burlew fled the scene. Burlew then returned to a neighboring apartment where she was identified by a resident and taken into custody by Glendale police. Burlew was interviewed by police and admitted to causing the death of Ash by consensual strangulation. She claimed they engaged in acts like these often before sex. Burlew also admitted to cutting Ash with a razor blade after she strangled him to try and get a response out of him after she thought he had passed out. She claims she did not get a response so she continued to cut him to “alleviate stress” from the situation. PINEAPPLES!!!! SMH… Images via Shutterstock/handout
Robert Pattinson sure cleans up nice. And he intends to keep it that way! The hunky heartthrob recently sat down with the W all Street Journal to discuss life after Twilight and revealed some interesting tidbits about his personal grooming habits. The new face of Dior Homme Eau fragrance explained that he’s come along way in terms of hygiene and taking care of himself. “I was a brush-your-teeth-and-have-a-shower kind of guy. I can’t tell if it’s because of my association with Dior or because I’m older, but I’ve started moisturizing,” the 26-year-old divulged. He added, very importantly: “I’ve started moisturizing. I t’s been a quite profound chance in my life.” We’re not complaining. As for R. Patz’s silver screen career? You can check him out in David Cronenberg’s upcoming dark comedy Maps to the Stars . Overall, 2013 was an interesting year for the British actor. And a trying one. He split with longtime love and co-star Kristen Stewart in May after reconciling following Stewart’s fling with married director Rupert Sanders. What’s on the horizon for Pattinson in 2014? He simply says: “This year, I’m trying to see what my niche is.” Apparently “looking really hot” doesn’t quality.
Federal prosecutors have charged former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, with taking $120,000 in undocumented loans and numerous gifts. The alleged corruption stemmed from his relationship with the owner of a dietary supplements business and helping it promote products to state officials. Bob McDonnell Indicted The 43-page indictment includes page after page of alleged requests by the McDonnells, Maureen in particular, for help in paying for vacations. And their daughter’s wedding, nearly $20,000 in designer dresses, a Rolex watch inscribed “71st Governor of Virginia” and numerous golf outings. The couple also allegedly asked for private trips on the company’s jet and, once, to use a $200,000 Ferrari. Bob McDonnell has denied any wrongdoing. The lengthy investigation embarrassed state officials and may have contributed to the election of Democrat Terry McAuliffe as governor last year. It also dimmed hopes that McDonnell, considered a rising star in the Republican party, could be a contender for the party’s 2016 presidential nomination. The McDonnells were charged with conspiracy, wire fraud and other crimes. Maureen McDonnell was charged with obstruction for allegedly lying to investigators. The couple are also accused of attempting to conceal the loans and gifts. In a televised statement with his family, McDonnell denied the charges, saying he regretted accepting the gifts, which “all have been returned or repaid with interest.” “I did nothing illegal,” he said. At the center of the drama were supplements that Star Scientific, a former cigarette manufacturer, said could help treat inflammation in diseases such as Alzheimer’s and MS. Officials expressed skepticism, saying there were no data to support the claims, which the company could not make in ads because its pills were not approved by the FDA. Prosecutors allege that in return for the gifts, the McDonnells attended or sponsored functions to introduce Star Scientific’s products to state officials and the public. They also allegedly attempted to arrange scientific research at prestigious state universities that might back up the company’s claims about their products.
Ke$ha’s Mom Explains How She Almost Died From Weight Criticism Poor Ke$ha .. According to USA Today: Pop singer Ke$ha, who checked into rehab for an eating disorder earlier this month, was the victim of a serious weight struggle. Her mom, Pebe Sebert, who has entered the same facility as her daughter, is shedding more light on her daughter’s situation. “I’ve watched my beautiful, self-confident, brilliant daughter be berated and ridiculed for her looks and weight to the point that she almost died,” Sebert tells People. “The doctors told me her blood pressure and sodium levels were so low, they’d never seen it that low except with someone who’d had a heart attack or stroke. They said it was a miracle she hadn’t already dropped dead on stage.” According to her mom, Ke$ha, 26, had been battling body issues since middle school, but they have gotten worse since she signed with longtime producer Dr. Luke and former manager David Sonenberg, when she was just 18. “One time on a conference call, Sonenberg was screaming, ‘You need to lose weight! I don’t care what you do … take drugs, not eat, stick your finger down your throat!’ ” Sebert tells People. “Ke$ha was just weeping. She drove around afterward thinking about killing herself.” Dr. Luke and Sonenberg have denied the allegations. Sebert also details Ke$ha’s bulimia habits, saying she “could throw up really quickly and quietly” even in public restrooms. “She’d even take a bag in there so no one could see her bent over the toilet. She was really sneaky.” Damn, you never know what people are struggling with, but this seems like it’s probably the norm in the industry full of rail thin stars. WENN/PCN

Dear Bossip , I’m coming to you to ask advice on how to handle a situation that affects my whole entire family. My boyfriend and I are expecting our first born. Although this wasn’t planned, I was actually still using birth control when we found out, I am looking forward to motherhood and this new chapter in my life. My parents (especially my mother) are livid that his has happened before we are married. She blatantly told me that I am a failure even though I have a college degree, masters, and currently working on my PhD. There is no doubt in my mind that my boyfriend is who I want to be with and he has expressed the same as well. I have also heard that he is putting down on a ring and planning on proposing in the near future. My parents are pushing for us to have a civil wedding and go to justice of the peace before the baby is born and then have a religious wedding after. They are worried about how they will be viewed by other family and friends being that their daughter is pregnant and unwed. My boyfriend’s family would like for us to marry in a civil wedding but they are supportive of whatever decision we decide to go with as long as we are doing what we feel is best for us. They are overjoyed that there is a baby on the way and looking forward to a new addition. My boyfriend has expressed to me (and my parents) that he is in love with me but only wants one wedding. He wants to give me the dream wedding that I want. The dream wedding that I don’t have the time, energy or finances to plan just yet because we are in the process of getting ready for the baby and moving into a bigger place. He has also told me that if I really want a civil wedding then he will give me just that but that a later ceremony is out of the question because if we are already married why go through the hassle of planning and having a ceremony for show? His wish is to go through with this one time. And stay married. My father and I have a decent relationship and we speak regularly, but things have gotten so bad with my mother that she barely talks to me. She doesn’t mention my pregnancy and never asks how I am feeling. I have never changed the way I act around her but her attitude towards me has been a complete 180; almost as if this is her way of punishing me. She doesn’t even know when my due date is. When I bring up my feelings to her, that as her daughter all I ask for is support and motherly advice and that right now my main focus is my health and remaining stress free, she ignores me. When she’s not ignoring me she’s shaming me and telling me that if I don’t get married before the baby is born I will never get married and that my boyfriend will leave me. I have already been to the ER for an anxiety attack and spiking blood pressure. She feels as if I don’t care about her or my father and that I should be worried about what my aunts, uncles, cousins, etc think about me. That is not the case. I am extremely attached to my family, but I expressed to her that my biggest fear is that if I marry someone because someone else wanted me to and not because I was not yet ready in my heart. Her response, “Then break up, people do it all the time.” So, then what is the point of marriage? Just to run down the altar, and later get a divorce? I don’t agree with that. As strong as my bond is with my boyfriend, this has put a dent on our relationship because he feels that I am spending too much time stressing myself out and that I am not putting our future family first. He has expressed to me that all he wants is to see me happy and that if the situation with my family is so volatile, I should try to distance myself as much as possible for my sake and sanity, but it’s not that easy. He is scared for my health and our unborn child and fears all this stress could lead me to miscarry. My question, should I rush into marriage because that’s what my family wants and put my relationship on the line? Or do I take my time and do what makes me happy and put my wants first? – Civil or Wedding Ceremony Dear Ms. Civil or Wedding Ceremony , First, congratulations on your pregnancy. It sounds as if you have some wonderful support systems in place that are encouraging and positive. But, ma’am, your momma needs to “sat” down somewhere and mind her business. THE HELL!!?!?! These mommas and their trying to keep a leash on their grown a** children need to get some business, or some good piping! I’m just saying. Now, what I’m going to need for you to do is grow up the hell up, and stop acting like a little girl seeking her mother’s approval. And, that is what’s going on here. You are still that little girl who is desperately trying to make her mother happy. You’re trying to do all the right things to bring her happiness, and to make her proud of you. You boast of your education, and living up to these standards for your mother’s approval. Unfortunately all she sees is her daughter pregnant, unmarried, and shacking up with some man. Not that she has done a great job in raising you, instilling morals and values, and that you are competent and capable of taking care of yourself. No, all your mother is concerned about is what other people will think. Who the “F**K” cares what other people think. They are not paying your bills, paying for your education, sleeping with you at night, financing you, feeding you, or taking care of you in any capacity. So, why be bothered and concerned with your mother’s issues that she’s imposing upon you. That’s her –ish, and don’t let her dump her –ish off on you attempting to make you feel guilty. Ugh! I can’t stand bourgeoisie uppity a** folks! You have a boyfriend who is standing by your side, and is committed to marrying you and building a family with you, and his family is even supportive of whatever you decide to do. So, why is your mother’s panties all in a bunch? She needs to get over herself, and have several seats. I agree with your boyfriend in that this joyous moment in your life should not be filled with anxiety and stress. Your focus and concern should be your health and well-being for the sake of your baby. And, here you are worrying about what your mother thinks. Like your boyfriend said, you are going to have to distance yourself, focus on your health and your unborn baby so that you can deliver a healthy and happy baby. Look, I understand you have a close relationship with your family. But, why would you keep allowing yourself to be mistreated and dogged by your mother, who’s already created anxiety in your life which sent you to the ER. IT’S NOT WORTH IT! Stop trying to prove yourself to her. Stop trying to make her happy. Stop trying to get her approval. No matter what you do she will not be happy. Not unless you do it her way. So, you have to make a choice: Either you grow up and be a woman and start making grown woman decisions and choices; or you continue being this little girl waiting on your mother to tell you things are okay, and she’s proud of you. In regard to the wedding, you have to do what makes you happy. Again, I agree with you boyfriend and his family, if getting married is so important to your family, then a civil wedding will do. But, to do another wedding just for show is costly, and can put a financial strain on the future of your marriage. Don’t create added or extra stress if you don’t have to. Now, if you decide to wait to do the big ceremony after the child is born, then simply wait. You can take your time and plan a wedding, coordinate all the details, and go all out. Is this what you truly desire? Is this what you need to validate yourself, or will it be for show and for your mother and her friends and the rest of your family? Honestly, you have to do what makes you happy. Think about your future, and take into consideration how this will affect your relationship. You’ve already stated this has put a dent in your relationship. What you don’t want to do is run off a good man because you are trying to make your mother happy. Your boyfriend has told you that he is supportive of whatever you decide, and his family is even encouraging. The decision is yours. Not your mothers and what she wants. Look, I understand your mother is concerned that if you don’t do it now then you never will. What I think is going on is that she is worried and concerned about losing her daughter. She can no longer control you. You will become your husband’s wife, his partner, and she won’t have a say in your life any longer. So, now she is guilting you and shaming you. But, all she really wants is just to protect you, however, the way she is going about it is extremely unhealthy and inappropriate. She is creating unnecessary stress and drama. And, as a mother and parent she should know better. Furthermore, she is the one who is caught up in appearances, and what others think. Unfortunately, she cannot see how what she is doing is causing damage to you, and making you unhappy. Ma’ma, don’t allow her to displace her own issues and problems onto you. Again, distance yourself and keep the lines of communication open with your father. Keep him informed of what’s going on, what’s happening, your due date, and all other important information. Trust me, he will relay this information to your mother. And, when it’s for the baby to be delivered, your parents will be there. Despite all this drama, she will be right there trying to lay claim on her grandbaby. After the baby is born you and your mother need to have a serious conversation. You need to readjust your life as an adult woman, stop trying to appease your mother and make her happy, and eventually come into your own. This level of doing things for your mother’s sake has got to stop. It will ruin your marriage, and relationship with your man. It’s not worth it. At some point you’re going to have to put your mother in her place, politely, and let her know she did a great job, but now it’s time to take off the overly protective mother gloves off, and let go of what people think. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

Go stock up on canned goods and tell your family members you love them. The Apocalypse is near. Various items that once belonged to Casey Anthony – the Florida woman found not guilty of killing her daughter – are now for sale on a website that describes itself as a destination for “murderabilia.” According to Eric Holler – the owner of SerialKillersInk(dot)net – the belongings up for auction were purchased at a garage sale run by Anthony’s parents. He is selling them for $800 per item. “Of course I’m trying to profit, I’m running a business here,” Holler told WESH-TV in Orlando, refusing to divulge how much he paid for the clothes and purses. “I’m not in the business of losing money.” Anthony was released from prison in 2011 and has kept a relatively low profile since. She was acquitted that summer of murdering her infant child, Caylee, but found guilty of giving false information to law enforcement about the disappearance of her daughter, who vanished weeks before her third birthday. Anthony eventually settled on the claim that Caylee drowned, accidentally, in her parents’ swimming pool and that her father convinced her to cover up the passing. “Casey Anthony is here!” screams Holler’s website. “Own items from the infamous Anthony garage sale.”
True Detective brought real-life good friends and movie stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson to the world of television. That was an accomplishment in and of itself. But the opening episode of this HBO drama also featured a mesmerizing story, incredible scenery and two sterling performances, enough to have us hooked on the series and equal parts scared and excited to find out what happens next. True Detective Review The plot centers on a grisly murder by an apparent serial killer, someone into some messed up concept of religion and placing antlers in the naked corpses of his victims. McConaughey is simply incredible as Rust Cohle, a pessimistic (or a realistic , as he would say) homicide detective new to Louisiana, whose demeanor and view on life frightens his partner, Harrelson’s Martin Hart. Martin considers himself a straight-shooting, hard-working family man… but there’s clearly some darkness at play within him and it’s easy to see how the two are more similar than they initially appear. Only Cohle has accepted his demons, while Hart is in denial that he possesses any. The action doesn’t move quickly, but it does skip from 1995 to the present, where Cohle and Hart are being questioned by two younger law enforcement officials because it appears as though there supposedly solved crime from back in the day is somehow relevant once again. McConaughey is brilliant in these scenes, having essentially giving up on life, while Hart remains a bit more confident and sure of himself. Although time has clearly taken a toll on him as well. The series is dark, there’s no doubt about that. It’s gloomy and sort of depressing, but there’s some humor to be found in the exchanges between partners, in how irritated Martin gets by Rust’s entire personality. With Hannibal and The Following already on the air, some viewers may not see a reason to tune in for another serial killer-based drama, but the True Detective premiere gives you two very good reasons: Matthew McConaughey Woody Harrelson Watch True Detective online now in case you missed the opener and then give it a grade: A B C D F View Poll »
