Suge Knight Bail Revoked: Officials Cite Flight Risk, Potential Witness Intimidation

Suge Knight’s bail has been revoked, officials confirm, leaving the former Death Row Records mogul in custody following his murder arrest last week. The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department cites possible witness intimidation, Knight’s criminal past and fear that he will flee before trial as its chief concerns. That will pretty much cover it, that trifecta. Bail had been set at $2.2 million after Suge Knight was arrested for murder in the death of Terry Carter, 55, whom he killed, allegedly, in a hit and run. Knight’s murder defense is that he didn’t know he hit anyone , and was in fear for his life, after an altercation with two men at a burger joint. Another man was hurt, but survived. Cle “Bone” Sloan, 51, sustained non-life-threatening injuries and may have been Knight’s intended target. Police believe Knight’s intent was very much to injure someone with his truck , and given his criminal record, that’s enough to keep him locked up for now. According to an official spokeswoman, the 49-year-old considered a flight risk, in addition to a man who could engaged in major witness intimidation. He is also a three-strike candidate, meaning he’s in for a more serious sentence, having been convicted of two or more violent crimes or felonies in in California. The office of Knight’s attorney, James Blatt, confirmed they had “heard” that their notorious client’s bail was revoked and were looking into it. Suge is due in court on Tuesday. Suge Knight: From Death Row to Near Death 1. Marion ‘Suge’ Knight Marion Knight, better known as Suge (for Sugar Bear) is recovering after being shot in August 2014. Knight founded Death Row Records in 1991, signing stars like Snoop Doggy Dogg (since renamed Snoop Dogg and Snoop Lion) and Tupac Shakur. He was driving the car in which Tupac was killed in a drive by in 1996, and has been known more for his many run-ins with the law ever since. Knight spent years in prison for violating parole on assault and weapons charges, and was shot six times at a Chris Brown concert last year. Also last year, he was arrested alongside comedian Katt Williams, and charged with robbery following an incident involving an aggressive paparazzo.

Bobbi Kristina Brown: "Fighting for Her Life;" Drowning Listed as Official Cause of Coma

As we continue to await good news in the sad case of Bobbi Kristina Brown, more details are emerging about the daughter of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston. Bobbi Kristina was hospitalized on Saturday for reasons that were unclear at the time. It was reported that she was found unconscious in her bathtub, and many fans feared that 21-year-old had succumbed to a drug addiction like her late mother. However, authorities indicated that no drugs were found in Bobbi Kristina’s home , and the cause of her hospitalization is now listed as “drowning.” Sources say Bobbi’s brain functioning was “significantly diminished” by her accident, and the early prognoses were bleak. Now, however, it’s being reported that Bobbi Kristina is showing signs of recovery , and while it is still unknown when – or even if – she will emerge from her medically-induced coma, for now doctors are hopeful. A message posted to Whitney Houston’s official Facebook page today offers a frightening but hopeful assessment of the situation: “Bobbi Kristina is fighting for her life and is surrounded by immediate family,” reads the statement. “As her father already stated, we are asking you to honor our request for privacy during this difficult time.” “Thank you for your prayers and well wishes, and we greatly appreciate your continued support.” We’ll have further updates on Bobbi Kristina’s progress as more information becomes available.

Kendra Wilkinson: Will She File for Divorce?

Kendra Wilkinson may have thrown her wedding ring in the toilet . But a new report claims Kendra won’t be doing to the same to her actual marriage. Despite Hank Baskett pretty much admitting to an affair with a transgender model named Ava London (while Kendra was eight months pregnant!), insiders tell OK! Weekly that the former Playboy centerfold comes from a “broken home.” Kendra knows what divorce can do to a family and she is putting her two kids first, the tabloid claims. She has no plans to file any time soon. Kendra Wilkinson Won’t File for Divorce Fortunately, through this difficult time, Wilkinson’s friends are standing closely alongside her. “I’m extremely proud of her,” former Deal or No Deal model Jessica Hall tells Us Weekly of the busty blonde. She adds that Wilkinson is a a “fantastic mother” to son Hank IV, 4, and daughter Alijah, 8 weeks and: “I absolutely love and adore that girl. She’s been my best bud for five years.” It’s also been confirmed that Hank’s infidelity will be chronicled on Kendra’s reality show , which Hall uses as a parallel to Wilkinson’s life and attitude. “Her show couldn’t be more perfectly titled – she’s always going to be on top,” Hall gushes. “That’s why it’s called Kendra on Top. She’s going to come out on top always.” You know, sort of like how Baskett did when he straddled a naked London and… nevermind. Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett: In Happier Times 1. Kendra and Hank on Christmas How could you pose with Kendra for a Christmas card one second, Hank? And then get it on with a transgender model the next second?!?

Columbus Short Releases A Statement In Response To Wife’s Abuse Allegations Isht pretty much hit the fan Wednesday after Columbus Short’s wife filed for divorce AND a restraining order that included a statement that said he’d threatened her a knifepoint. While he definitely has some explaining to do, Short says he just can’t right now. In a statement released by his publicist on his behalf Short says: “As you all know, lately my personal life has been subjected to a lot of press. As much as I would like to provide my side of events, my counsel has instructed me that a Court of law is the only and proper venue to deal with such matters. Accordingly, I must refrain from making any comments even though that is very difficult for me under the circumstances. Thank you to my fans for your continued support during this difficult time.” Yikes… Shonda Rhimes is probably THIS close to writing homeboy off “Scandal.”

We would like to thank the United States government, especially Secretary Kerry and our friends at the State Department for helping us in this time of need. Our expressed thanks to the people at the Italy desk at the State Department for working day and night on our behalf. “We thank President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for their kind support.

Our thoughts continue to go out to the actor’s family and loved ones.

Ho Sit Down: GOP Congressman Says Women Should Be Forced To Give Birth To Brain Dead Fetuses Rather Than Have The Option For Abortion

The nerve…. GOP Congressman: Women Should Be Forced To Birth Brain Dead Fetuses A current Republican-backed bill that has been circulating on The Hill recently gained even more opposition at a hearing to discuss the bills’ proposal to make abortion performed after 20 weeks, including those performed because of pre-diagnosed fetal abnormalities, illegal in Washington, D.C. via Think Progress At a congressional committee hearing to discuss a proposed measure to criminalize abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, Texas lawmaker Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) told a woman who made the difficult choice to terminate a non-viable pregnancy that she should have carried the fetus to term anyway — even though an MRI had already revealed that he was missing a large part of his brain and didn’t have much chance of survival. On Thursday, Christy Zink testified in opposition to H.R. 1797, a 20-week abortion ban that anti-abortion representatives of Congress keep attempting to impose upon the women in the nation’s capital. Abortion opponents claim that 20-week bans are necessary to prevent “fetal pain.” But in her testimony, Zink pointed out it’s misleading to suggest that this abortion restriction would serve this purpose, since forcing her to carry her pregnancy to term would have actually caused her unborn son considerable pain. Gohmert responded: “Ms. Zink, having my great sympathy and empathy both. I still come back wondering, shouldn’t we wait, like that couple did, and see if the child can survive before we decide to rip him apart? So. These are ethical issues, they’re moral issues, they’re difficult issues, and the parents should certainly be consulted. But it just seems like, it’s a more educated decision if the child is in front of you to make those decisions.” It doesn’t get much more heartless than to stand in a woman’s face and tell her what she should have done to save her unborn child that she’s more than likely still grieving over. He should be ashamed! Continue reading
