Father Runs Over His 2 Yr Old Flees The Scene of Accident No License Child with Severe Head Injuries.Danielle Hernandez-Woodall says she can’t understand how the father of her four children could leave, after running over their almost 2-year-old son Friday. “The whole thing was an accident, but the choice that he made afterwards to leave was not okay. He didn’t know if he was alive or dead,” Hernandez-Woodall said. Denver, Colorado police arrested Ross Bobby McCoy over the weekend. He is now facing child abuse charges. The 24-year-old mother of 7-year-old twins, a 4-year-old boy and almost 2-year-old Zayden said that doctors expected her son to be OK. “He says ‘awi’ and he holds his head, and he holds his neck,” she said. “He wants to be outside all the time, now that they allowed us to be outside.” youtube
Why shoot your son to spite your husband? Sad. Woman Shoots 9-Year-Old Son According to The NY Daily News A Colorado mother who shot her 9-year-old son five times did it to get back at her husband, according to police documents. Lisa Marie Lesyshen, 45, was taken into custody Friday and charged with first-degree murder, child abuse leading to death and domestic violence. She is still being treated for a self-inflicted gunshot wound at a hospital in Denver, where she reportedly confessed to shooting Asher Lesyshen-Kirlan. Asher, a third-grader at Soda Creek Elementary School, died early Wednesday morning. According to the arrest warrant obtained by CBS Denver, the 9-year-old was shot three times in the chest, once in the head and once in the leg, likely at close range. While searching the house, police discovered a note on Asher’s nightstand that read, “Remember you are responsible for what has happened here and you are the person that caused it.” The letter was addressed to Michael Kirlan, Lesyshen’s husband, and signed “Lisa & Asher.” Lesyshen and husband Kirlan, 46, were separated but living in the same house in Steamboat Springs, Colo., according to the warrant. Kirlan told police he woke up to the sound of gunshots around 3 a.m. Wednesday. He raced upstairs to find his estranged wife leaving their son’s room. He saw that Asher had been shot multiple times and was covered in blood. Kirlan said he carried the boy to the front entryway and then heard more gunshots. He asked Lesyshen why she would do something like this, and she reportedly answered, “To hurt you.” The woman also told Kirlan to kill her. Officials found Lesyshen unconscious in the master bedroom and transported to a Denver hospital. On Thursday, she told an officer she shot her son before turning the gun on herself. On Tuesday, Lesyshen asked a coworker at Bud Werner Memorial Library where she could purchase .22-caliber ammunition, the document said. Lesyshen bought the bullets that afternoon. It is always sad when mothers kill their kids. Facebook

Cullen Finnerty, a star quarterback at Grand Valley State who briefly played in the NFL for the Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos, has been found dead. Details are still coming him and the cause of death will remain unknown until an autopsy is performed, but Finnerty disappeared on Sunday and his corpse turned up last night in the woods of northern Michigan. Lake County Undersheriff Dennis Robinson says foul play is unlikely and that a family member described Finnerty as “nervous about something” the last time they talked on the phone. His loved ones are concerned that he suffered a “mental episode” of some kind, according to Robinson. Finnerty, 30, led Grand Valley State to three Division II national titles and over 50 wins during his four years as a starter. He had short stints with the Ravens and Broncos in the pros. Notre Dame’s Brian Kelly, who coached Finnerty at Grand Valley State, said in a statement: “It’s very chilling. He led me to a national championship as a true freshman. When I left, coach Martin took over and won two more national championships. My heart goes out to the family and to his beautiful wife.”
Renaldo Balkman Banned From Basketball League After Attacking Teammate Former NBA baller Renaldo Balkman, who was cut from the NY Knicks roster in February of last year, might have just burned his last bridge after he was kicked out of the Philippine Basketball Association for choking out one of his teammates. via NY Post Former NBA player Renaldo Balkman has been banned from the professional basketball league in the Philippines for grabbing a team mate around the neck during a game. The former New York Knicks and Denver Nuggets player has also been slapped with a fine of 250,000 Philippine pesos ($6,100) over the incident, Philippine Basketball Association commissioner Chito Salud said in a statement on Monday. Balkman, who was playing for the Petron Blaze Boosters against the Philippines-based Alaska Aces, assaulted Arwind Santos while his team mate tried to stop him from venting his frustration at a referee’s decision.

My name is Sydney, and I’m 15 years old. I’m the one in the black painted shirt next to Justin. So it all started out when I was on Twitter and I had been asking people to tweet the crew and RT my tweets so I could somehow get tickets to Justin’s show in Denver. After trying to get a reply from the crew or Justin for like 20-30 minutes, I got a tweet from someone saying, “I have an extra ticket!” Never did I think they really had one, I assumed it was just a scam. I ended up talking to the girl and it turned out she really did have a ticket and was gonna take me with her for FREE! I was so excited I could hardly wait. The time finally came and me and my mom were ready to fly to Denver, since we live in Oregon. We got there and stayed over night, and the next day I found out that Justin was staying at a hotel 3 blocks away from me. I met the girl that was giving me the ticket there for the first time and she was super nice. We waited for Justin for about an hour when he left in one of his cars to go eat dinner, so we left to go eat too. When we got back to the hotel, we heard that Justin had already came back and had said hi to some people. We thought we lost our opportunity. After waiting for 5 more hours, there were only about 5 girls left and it was freezing outside. We just left. While we were waiting though, we did get to meet Dan! The next day, I got ready and went to the store to get poster board. We met in the lobby and then made our posters. After we were done, me, her, her mom, my mom, and her brother all drove to the concert where they dropped us off at about 3. After about an hour and a half of waiting and holding our signs, we saw Justin’s bus pull in so we chased it to the back, but security wouldn’t let us through. We went back to the front and held our signs for about another half hour when suddenly a man appeared in front of us. At first I didn’t see him but then it dawned on me what was happening. “It’s your lucky day,” he said, and in his hands he had two meet and greet wristbands. We automatically started freaking out and crying while trying to thank him at the same time. We went over to the will-call line and waited there calming down for about 30 minutes until they led us in a room to check our wristbands. Then we went to a hallway with hundreds of other girls and had to wait there for another 30-45 minutes. While we were in line I got to say hi to Dan, and Kenny. Finally it was our turn to meet Justin. The curtain opened and there he was. “Hey guys, how are you?” I was the first one in and I couldn’t even talk. My first instinct was to go right up to him, so I did. I had my hand around his waist and it was perfect. When we left he thanked us and I told him I loved him so much, but he didn’t hear me because the other group was coming in and other people were talking to him. When we left we were a crying mess. I still can’t believe I met Justin, it was such an amazing experience that I thought I would never get. I hope that all of you guys get to experience this to, and who knows, you could be next! I think it’s amazing what that man did for me and my friend. -@KidrauhlLeague Visit link: My name is Sydney, and I’m 15 years old. I’m the one…
With Identity Thief , Melissa McCarthy proves she’s got what it takes to carry a feature, however meager the underlying material. Sustaining the same brand of unpredictable energy that made her such an effective scene-stealer in Bridesmaids and This Is 40 , McCarthy plays the tornado to Jason Bateman’s uptight nebbish, an accountant who drives halfway across the country to confront the zealous con artist who stole his personal information, maxed out his credit cards and tarnished his good name. Though this adult-skewing comedy looks like a midrange performer at best, McCarthy’s credit rating should skyrocket. The perfect sucker, Sandy Patterson (Bateman, reteaming with Horrible Bosses director Seth Gordon ) is an underappreciated bean-counter for a Denver mega-corporation who naively offers a chipper-sounding telemarketer (McCarthy) his vital details, then seems astonished when his credit card is declined at the pump. Pulled over a few blocks later by cops with a warrant for his arrest, Sandy learns that in addition to racking up extravagant purchases on his cards, the female impersonating him also jumped bail and tried to evade narcotics charges in Florida. From where the audience sits, the irony is that hardly anyone would want this guy’s identity to begin with. Apart from his androgynous-sounding name — the source of a running series of emasculating jokes — Sandy seems as strait-laced and uninteresting as they come, though the casting department supplies him with crazy-hot wife Amanda Peet to cheerlead from the sidelines. In all other respects, he’s a chump, and what his life needs most is something to shake him up and remind him he’s a man. Certainly that’s the idea of sending him on a road trip to “pretty much the worst place in America” to apprehend his doppelganger and drag her back to face charges in Denver. Anyone who’s ever been the target of such fraud can tell you that trying to track down an identity thief in person is the last thing to do, but screenwriter Craig Mazin (who shares story credit with Jerry Eeten) has conceived a razor-blades-on-the-outside, mushy-in-the-middle laffer where the culprit isn’t half as bad as she initially seems. On first encounter, fake “Sandy,” aka Diane (McCarthy), freaks out when her mark confronts her, stealing his car and trying to ram him off the highway. As if she weren’t dangerous enough, it turns out that Diane’s being pursued by a pair of contract killers (Tip “T.I.” Harris and Genesis Rodriguez), who barge into her white-trash lair with guns blazing (the art directors clearly had a field day cramming a tiny home with as much tacky shopping-spree booty as they could manage). Sandy’s plan is to drag Diane back to Denver and clear his record. Not trusting the basic road-trip premise to carry the show, the script piles on several tired ’80s-movie cliches, thrusting the pair into artificial peril as they try to outmaneuver an aggressive redneck bounty hunter (Robert Patrick), those two hitmen and the cops. But the funniest moments have nothing to do with these gimmicks, relying on the character-driven dynamic between the pic’s polar-opposite protags, as when Diane demonstrates her quick wit by inventing humiliating cover stories for the couple wherever they go. However grating Sandy may find her, Diane is undeniably charming to everyone they meet, a lonely woman driven by an insatiable desire to be loved — a quality that brings auds around to her side long before Sandy realizes there might be more to this woman than he first imagined. Since the writers have left Bateman’s character such a blank (with no real problems of his own to work out en route), the film’s success depends almost entirely on the salty energy McCarthy brings to the equation. Among the cameos peppered along the way, the rowdiest — and most unrecognizable — comes from Modern Famil y’s Eric Stonestreet as Big Chuck, a cowboy haplessly smitten with Diane. The ensuing love scene is sure to leave scars for some viewers, but serves to defuse whatever romantic chemistry auds might expect between the two leads. It’s actually surprising that Identity Thief doesn’t allow love to bloom between Sandy and Diane: By never considering Diane as a rival for Peet’s wooden housewife, the film reveals plus-size problems baked into its body-image ideas. Generally speaking, the brightly lensed, snappily edited pic leaves auds wanting more, despite a few distracting visual effects and one or two dead-end subplots it could have done without.

We’re just three hours away from Super Bowl 2013 (or Super Bowl XLVII to be more accurate), and the NFL title game does not lack for storylines. A replacement quarterback who became a star. A sibling rivalry among coaches. The grandest of exits for one of the NFL’s greatest players. Oh, and even a little deer-antler spray for good measure. There’s also a chance for history. A win over Ray Lewis and Baltimore Ravens gives the San Francisco 49ers six titles, tying Pittsburgh’s record. Unlike the Steelers, the Niners have never lost the Super Bowl. Neither have the Ravens, who won their only previous appearance 12 years ago. San Francisco hasn’t won since 1995, when star QB Colin Kaepernick was seven years old. Can he write a new chapter for the franchise tonight? The 49ers are four-point favorites, but that means little to the Ravens, who made it here by shocking Denver and New England on the road.

In a new interview, Dina Lohan basically implies that Lindsay Lohan is a train wreck because she saw her father, Michael Lohan, abuse drugs – and her mom. “I need to make the world aware that Lindsay is messed up because her father is so messed up,” Dina told the New York Daily News in an explosive story. Dina claims her daughter’s ongoing problems all stem from graphic incidents in which she witnessed her father beat her mother in 1986 – and rape in 1990. “Lindsay saw her dad abuse me – that’s why she’s so screwed up,” Dina said. “She saw a lot of crazy stuff. I want the world to know the root of her problems.” “Lindsay saw the beatings an the abuse. She said, ‘Stay, mommy, don’t leave … I’m so sorry for making you stay.’ But I didn’t stay for Lindsay. I wanted all my kids to be happy.” Dina, 50, told the paper that the attack – one of many she says she endured during their 22-year marriage – occurred after they dined in Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. Michael Lohan, she says, had spent the night getting drunk and high on cocaine, Dina claims, eventually leading him to punch her in the face with a closed fist. Dina backed up her clai with a photo of a bruise under her right eye, holding an infant Lindsay (she sought medical attention December 4, 1986 for facial “blunt trauma.”) Dina Lohan said that “when Lindsay saw the photo, she was furious. She said, ‘Tell the world! Talk about it!'” Michael denied the story to the paper, of course. According to MiLo, the circumstances were completely different. “I came in at 2 o’clock in the morning after being out with some friends,” he says. “I walked in and she hit me with an ice tray. With the back of my hand I slapped her in the face.” “Yes, it did happen in 1986. Were there any charges? No, not at all.” “I had a big black and blue mark on my neck – from her.” As for the alleged sexual assault, Dina said it took place in 1990, during a time he was in-and-out of jail for convictions tied to his former career as a stockbroker. “Michael was addicted to cocaine, like most stockbrokers back then,” Dina said. “He had a lot of bad stuff going on.” Nothing worse than that one night, however. She said Michael Lohan showed up in a limousine on Valentine’s Day, “out of jail and on another coke-fueled night,” and trying to rebuild their relationship. “He said, ‘I love you and I want to be with you,’ but then it went dark. It went dark really quick,” Dina said, adding that the rape occurred as Lindsay and her siblings slept. “I just knew I had to stay quiet … I [didn’t] want to wake them.” Dina, at her parents’ urging, went to the ER and had a rape kit performed, but said she never pursued further punishment for Michael, who was jail-bound at the time anyway. Not so, Michael says, recalling of the incident: “I went over to her parents’ house and made love to her … how can you rape a person when they’re on top of you?” A fair question, and an image we’re having trouble getting out of our brains. Michael said the rape accusation only sprouted when Dina heard a girlfriend of his in the background on the phone later that night … obviously. “She called the next day, crying,” he said. “I said, ‘Let’s work this out.'” “I got back with Dina. There were no charges.” Michael said of Dina’s accusation-loaded interview: “She’s bringing this up now because she’s drinking and partying with Lindsay. And she keeps robbing Lindsay.” “She is the devil.” Lindsay Lohan is broke , but the reasons for that are manifold. It’s a claim Mike has made many times before, and probably has a degree of truth to it … not that he’s been a saint to his ex or kids by any means. One thing’s for sure … this explains a lot about Lindsay.
Finally, the moment we’ve all been waiting for! No, not Jillian’s return to The Biggest Loser. Not even the National Championship football game. The Bachelor is back! Sean Lowe, jilted by Emily Maynard during her stint as the bachelorette, is back and looking for love. (If you’re impatient and want to jump ahead in time, it’s okay. We understand check out The Bachelor Spoilers to find out Sean’s rumored top 4!) He skypes with his family and runs with his shirt off! What’s not to love? (I’d like an over/under on how many times we see Sean working out this season.) One thing’s for sure: Emily should’ve picked Sean. Seeing how she’s already called it quits with Jef with one F and Sean was so in love with her and all. Sean says “it took a while” to get over Emily. So, in TV talk, that means 15 minutes. Minus 3. Shirtless Sean again. He wants a family. (Weren’t Emily’s ovaries in overdrive? Why didn’t she pick him again?) And shirtless again. Sean’s got a friend coming over before he meets the 25 women who’ll try to win his heart. That friend? Arie Luyendyk Jr. Plus 8 for the race car driver! Well this is awkward. The guys crack a beer and talk about Emily. And it feels a little like Arie’s auditioning for Chris Harrison’s job. Maybe they can split the gig. Ari coaches Sean on handing out roses, breaking up with girls, and kissing. This is maybe the best thing we’ll see all night and we haven’t even met the women yet. Plus 15 . Chris Harrison alert! He’s going to tell us everything about Sean and Emily’s relationship that Sean just told us! Hooray! Minus 8 . And here are the women. Or some of them. Desiree, 26, is bridal stylist. She’s waiting for the person who completes her. And judging by the bouquet she threw into the chandelier, she should work on her aim. Tierra, 24, from Denver, has had her heart broken twice. In her relatively short 24 years. But she’s looking for her best friend. And Sean should maybe watch out because homegirl is as excited as a preteen at a Bieber concert that Sean’s the bachelor. Minus 4. Ashley P. is a hair stylist and is maybe a little too into 50 Shades of Grey . From here on out she’ll be called Ashley-stasia. She has no idea why she’s still single. Finally, it’s time for Sean to meet the women who’ll vie for his affections for the next several weeks. The first limo pulls up and Sean looks like he might vomit. I’m glad he and Arie didn’t rehearse that. Jackie, 25, is a Cosmetics Consultant. She wants to put her mark on him before the other girls get a chance to. Red lips right on his face. Hey, at least it wasn’t an ostrich egg. Even still, minus 4. Selma pulls a tissue from her bra to wipe off Jackie’s kiss. Or did she just rub it in? Plus 7. Daniella teaches Sean a secret handshake that takes about a year to complete. She might have gotten into the minibar on the ride over. And by might have I mean she did. Minus 4. Kelly’s a cruise ship entertainer from Nashville. Which is landlocked, but whatever. American Idol auditions were months ago and she’s no Carrie Underwood. Minus 5. Katie’s a yoga instructor. A barefoot yoga instructor. wear some shoes. Minus 7. Ashley-stasia pulled a tie from her bra and left Sean–and the rest of everybody–speechless. Minus 20. Tierra shows Sean her open-heart tattoo and hopes that he’ll be the guy to complete it. Sean asks her to wait right there. Maybe he had to pee? Nope. He went to get a rose. Tierra doesn’t have to wait until the ceremony. NOW who’s making all the other girls jealous?? Plus 18. Sean just sent Tierra into a combat zone with that rose in her hand. There might not be any of her left when he finally gets to go inside the house. Outside, Amanda, a model, initiates an awkward pause so she and Sean can just go ahead and get that out of the way. And it’s, well, yeah, it’s awkward. I’m not sure when purring at a guy became the way to win him over, but thanks for playing Brooke. Minus 8. Lesley from D.C. brought a football so they can run a little play. She’s the QB and this is just a way to see his butt up close and personal. Plus 6 for creativity. Ladies, just a tip, it may not be good to lead with the promise of bodily harm by way of your father. Minus 4. Lindsay showed up in a wedding dress and veil, calling herself a prankster with balls. Ummm… minus 7. Chris Harrison comes back and says there are 25 bachelorettes inside waiting to talk to him, which means Tierra must still be in one piece. So that’s good news. Plus 8 . And just before Sean can go in and meet these 25 bachelorettes, who should arrive but Kacie from Ben’s season. And Sean’s certainly excited to see her. So there are 26 girls this season instead of 25. Sean calls it “overwhelming.” Sean needs a drink. And then he drops the “w” word–wife–in a room full of tipsy women. Group screaming is a thing now. Apparently. First one-on-one with Sean? Kacie. And she’s cold so Sean gives her his jacket. What a gentleman. Plus 8 . There’s some history between the two of them, it seems, so she’s got a slight advantage right now. Which is unfair to the other girls. Minus 4. Des gets some alone time next and drops the bomb that she designs wedding dresses. If it works out, she’s designing her own dress. She gets a rose. Plus 5. There’s more blood in the water as Des goes back into the room with a rose. The shark? Kacie. And all the other roseless women, too. AshLee the organizer gets a rose. And now the girls are all confused and angsty and debating which rose is the First Impression rose. And AshLee uttered the phrase “I mean, you’re stunning and all, but…” and I’m surprised Tierra didn’t claw her eyes out. Selma gets a rose. And Robyn gets a rose. And Katie gets a rose. And Catherine. And Jessie. But not Ashley H. Sean has thrown the rules out the window tonight and I’m as confused as the girls are. Lindsay the faux bride is drunk. And begging for a kiss. Minus 4. She does not get a rose. Ashley-stasia is blitzed. So she starts attempting to work some imaginary pole to the music playing in her head. She’s so drunk she interrupts Sean on his speed date with Paige so she can be more freaky and awkward by pulling the tie out of her bra AGAIN. Minus 15. “I also brought a rape whistle in case I’m in trouble.”–Sean Lowe. Best line of the night. Plus 30. And then there’s “50 Shades of Grey may have become 50 shades of drunk tonight.” Zing, Sean! Plus 10 more. So now that about half the girls have roses, those who haven’t had time with Sean are swarming and interrupting and the claws are coming out of some of these women. But for others, the claws are retracting. A couple of the girls refuse to compete. Except, hello, this is a competition. So compete, ladies. Minus 9. Sarah steps up and decides to grab Sean for some time alone. She takes the moment to go ahead and ask that she be treated the same as everyone else. And that gets her a rose. Plus 10. It’s time for the first Rose Ceremony. 12 women already have roses, and there are 7 roses to go. Sean drops the “w” word again and half these women think about dropping their panties. In addition to the roses Sean has already given out, he also gives roses to: Amanda Lesley M. Kacie Kristy Daniella Taran Lindsay A few of the crazies going home: Ashley-stasia and her tie Lauren, whose dad will hopefully leave Sean’s legs in tact Paige, who has failed at The Bachelor Pad and the Bachelor Cruise Ship Kelly EPISODE TOTAL: +19
