Love is said to be the fire of life that neither consumes nor purifies; but for 35-year-old Janeth Odehgbe, hers was a different case as she has been set on fire by her husband following disagreement over her collecting a cup of wine from another man during a party they both attended. Recounting her ordeal in the hand of her 39-year-old husband, Mr Kehinde Adesanmoye, Janeth told Crime Alert that on September 11, 2012 around 10 pm, her husband poured petrol on her as she was preparing Indomie noodles for a customer and fire caught her immediately. She was nearly consumed by the fire but for passers-by that rescued her. Janet’s backview showing the burns She said, “I saw him coming towards me, as he got nearer, he ordered my customer to leave and as I tried to run for my dear life, he poured petrol on me and fire caught up with me immediately. Passers-by rescued me and ran after him to fight him, but immediately they noticed it was him, they all went to their various homes. Then some of them took me to the Police station and from there I was taken to Peaceful Convalescent Center, Alhaji Obe Street, Ejigbo Lagos.” Janeth, who hails from Isoko area of Delta state and earns her living from selling cooked Indomie along Ikotun roundabout, claimed she was illegally married to Adesanmoye (popularly called Ogunlade) after divorcing her first husband. Trouble was said to have started for the duo on September 8, 2012 when Adesanmoye and his wife went for a naming ceremony of a friend who stays beside their residence at 22, Olaoluwa Street, Abaranje, Ikotun. “As we got to the party, my friends who were also present were hailing me, calling me ‘Indomie’, because I was known for selling Indomie. I was invited to sit on the chairs they have organized for friends. Adesanmoye was sitting right beside me. “After some time, my friend, a vulcanizer, Taye offered me a bottle of wine, but I rejected it at the first instance because I was on my menstrual period and I don’t want to take anything alcoholic. But when the pressure from my friends was too much, pestering me to take the wine, I decided to take a cup. Janet & Adesanmoye before trouble started “Immediately Adesanmoye saw me finish the cup of wine, he got up and started going. I ran after him to ask what went wrong. To my surprise, he started abusing me and asking why do I have to collect a drink from a friend in a party while he was sitting right beside me, and why do I have to kiss a friend in the party too?” Janeth narrated in pains. The Isoko woman, who noted that her husband (Adesanmoye) could kill her if she should say anything whenever he is angry, pointed out that she never said anything in response to her husband’s allegations. “My husband has always been jealous. He used to beat me every time under any guise and excuse. I have tried several times to leave him but he always threatened to harm me. I stayed with him because I was afraid of him and my life. He always told me that I could never escape from him, except I leave Lagos State. Anytime I said I was leaving him, he would say, no problem, that he would do something to me that I will not forget. Now, see what he had done to me. He wanted to kill me” she added. An unconfirmed source intimated Crime Alert that Adesanmoye was later arrested and detained at the Ikotun Police station. His relatives were alleged to have called for amicable settlement, offering the victim a sum of N100, 000 (One hundred thousand), which the victim reportedly rejected. She however called on the government to ensure that her husband paid for what he did to her, adding “am an orphan. I have no father or mother. I sell Indomie to live. Now, I’ve spent all my money. In fact, I need help.” youtube
It’s been a frustrating four years for Joe Dante , whose latest feature, the kid horror flick The Hole , has endured a rough road to release since filming in 2008. The effective and spooky chiller, about two brothers (Chris Massoglia, Nathan Gamble) fighting the stuff of nightmares with their neighbor (Haley Bennett) after opening a mysterious void in their basement, was one of the first recent films to film in 3-D — but, as Dante recalled to Movieline, being at the forefront of filmed 3-D was ironically also what hurt The Hole ‘s distribution hopes. The Hole , an independent feature filmed in 3-D, found itself fighting for specialized screens with big studio fare and, as Dante tells it, “just got crowded out” of the marketplace. It opened domestically Friday in Los Angeles and Atlanta ahead of an October 2 DVD/Blu-ray/VOD/iTunes release , though the lack of a 3-D Blu-ray offering means most audiences won’t see it in its intended format. (A Region 2 3-D Blu-ray was released last year.) That’s a shame given that the critically-acclaimed PG-13 adventure marks a return to the milieu of youth horror for the iconic director of such classics as Gremlins , Explorers , The Twilight Zone , Innerspace , The ‘Burbs , and Matinee . Dante , who runs the fantastic Trailers from Hell and still, wonderfully, calls movies “pictures,” rang Movieline to discuss The Hole ‘s long road to release, his penchant for kid horror, the Glee actor he had no idea he’d cast four years ago in the film, and where Eerie, Indiana / Matinee teen actor Omri Katz — one of many promising young talents given an early start by Dante — went off to when he retired from acting. How does it feel to have The Hole finally come out, years after filming it and after all you’ve been through getting it seen? I feel kind of like the people who made Cabin in the Woods — it’s great relief. You don’t paint a picture to put it up in the attic and have nobody see it. You certainly don’t make movies for that reason. You usually assume that somehow it’s going to escape. And this was very frustrating because of the fact that I talked them into shooting it in 3-D was ultimately its Achilles heel, because by the time we were ready to release it all the theaters we were planning to play in were filled with big box office pictures that had been converted from 2-D into 3-D and didn’t take the time and trouble to shoot it in 3-D like we did. They were all high profile stuff and we had this little horror film with no stars, and we just got crowded out — and we continued to get crowded out, and then we had trouble getting a distributor. It was very frustrating. And we’re talking The Hole being pushed out of 3-D screens by movies like Clash of the Titans , one of the all-time worst examples of 3-D filmmaking. Particularly then the converted 3-D stuff when they were just starting out was terrible. It was too dark, and it’s badly done — it’s not intended to be shown that way. When you make a 3-D movie you actually have to plan the way the visuals look because there’s a parallax issue and there’s an issue of editing, you can’t edit very quickly in 3-D because the eye won’t adjust fast enough for it. There are a whole lot of rules that you have to go by if you want to make a good 3-D movie and most of these movies were just made like normal movies. It just doesn’t work that way. Tell me about your 3-D approach. How did you conceive of using the format? The idea was that because it’s a movie about people’s fears, I wanted them to identify strongly with the characters, and because it’s a very small film with six or seven characters and five locations, one of which is a basement. I thought that it would be much better to do a 3-D thing that drags you into the movie and puts you into the hole so that you feel like these people’s fears are your fears. Even watching it in 2-D I was taken by a number of very interesting camera moves and compositions — you play a lot with depth within the span of single shots. I remember watching movies on TV that had been shot in 3-D and thinking, this is much more imaginative than normal movies. Add to that your sound design, which had me nervously looking around the shadows as I watched the film, and the essence of the film itself — there’s something quite elemental about darkness and one’s own childhood fears that had me spooked. It’s rare that films made these days for younger audiences are actually, viscerally scary. Look at how Walt Disney chose to make his animated cartoon stuff. All the moments in Bambi and Snow White and Pinocchio that are really memorable are the scary ones. It’s primal. It’s a primal thing. It comes from sitting around the fire in caveman days and hearing stories. In The Hole these fears are primal but also very contemporary, in that you don’t often see stories about children dealing with issues like abuse. Well, that was a little tricky but that was one of the things that appealed to me about the script. It didn’t go where the standard horror movies went. It was a little deeper and a little more personal. The tightrope we had to walk was to try to find a way to suggest things that might have happened without having to freak out little kids who might be seeing it. There’s a wonderful secondary world you create within the film with fantastic sets that really convey a child’s perspective — the fog of memory where rooms feel huge, you feel tiny, and adults seem to be seven feet tall… Have you ever gone back to a school that you used to attend as a kid, and everything seems like it’s gotten smaller? The desks don’t fit as well anymore! And the halls are not as wide. The ceiling is lower. It’s really weird! This project came to you with a script already written. Had you been actively looking for films to direct? I’m always looking for films, but the horror scripts that I get tend to be very repetitive and often not that interesting. This one just stuck out because I liked the characters and I liked the setup, even though it was kind of familiar because I’d seen it in other movies, but it didn’t go where I thought it was going to go. That’s what piqued my interest. You have a great history of creating vivid film worlds for children, populated by children. Why do you think that is? I think it’s probably because I’m just a big kid myself. I don’t have any of my own, and I like actors in general but I find kid actors particularly fun to work with because they come with no preset conditions. They don’t give you acting tips. They just “be.” How did you find your cast? Haley Bennett in particular is tremendous here. She’s wonderful. That’s another reason I’m so sorry that this picture didn’t come out, because the kids didn’t get the benefit of the work they did. She’s great, she’s got a big future. Chris Massoglia had been in a picture called The Vampire’s Assistant , which I never saw because I was trying to get the producers to let me look at it before I hired him and they were so protective of their movie they never let me see anything. So I hired him because I thought he was the best kid for the part. And as far as Nathan [Gamble], he had been in the Batman movie and he was in The Mist , but it was really his own personality and presence that struck me. When I started to work with him, he really was the best child actor I’d worked with since Ethan Hawke. He’s got an innate ability to be natural and respond realistically to anything that you’d throw at him. He’s a 40-year-old in a 12-year-old body! Speaking of the great child actors you’ve worked with, Explorers was a fantastic showcase for its cast but you also worked a few times with a kid named Omri Katz. When I was growing up, I – Had a crush on him? Maybe. Maybe I had a crush on him. Well let me tell you something: Omri got out of the business and he came to visit me a couple years ago, and he is now the most striking-looking and handsome guy. I think he became a ski instructor. I said, “You should be acting!” But I haven’t heard from him since. So I can’t set you up on any dates, sorry! Let’s see if we can work something out, Joe. And by the way, it looks like in The Hole you cast Chord Overstreet from Glee before he became Glee -famous. What? Oh my god, yes, I remember him. I didn’t realize that! They blond guy who gets thrown in the pool? Well see, you told me something about my movie that I didn’t know. It’s a testament to your knack for discovering new talent. I’m still finding them!

When train wrecks attack: Amanda Bynes is NOT happy that Lindsay Lohan is trash talking her, texting a friend today saying, “I HATE being compared to her.” Amanda has a point, in that she’s never been arrested for drugs, chasing people, stealing from a jewelery store or violating the terms of her probation … a lot. The same cannot be said of SOME people we know. Lohan had the audacity to Tweet about Bynes and wonder aloud why she’s been to jail and Amanda hasn’t. Bynes says they’re not friends and LL needs to shut it. Lindsay, BTW, has been convicted of crimes (plural) and been to jail as a result of violating probation; Amanda was arrested for DUI this year, but has no convictions. Not yet, at least. Her laundry list of traffic infractions – hit-and-runs (twice), texting and driving, a license suspension – grew again over the weekend. Bynes’ car was impounded Sunday after a bizarre incident in which the actress went at Burbank Airport, parked in a no-parking zone, then just drove off. The Burbank Airport Police noticed Amanda because of her behavior, shooing her away from the no-parking zone where she was stopped, TMZ reports. Shortly after, cops noticed Amanda driving aimlessly near the valet area; she then left the airport without going inside. An hour later, she was pulled over. When police ran her license after that (unspecified) traffic violation, they realized it was suspended and impounded the 26-year-old’s car. Probably for the best. FUN FACT: Lindsay just Tweeted President Obama asking for a tax cut for millionaires ; Bynes Tweeted Obama with a request to fire the cop who arrested her in April. Who’s the bigger mess, Lindsay Lohan or Amanda Bynes?
Shaun White might dominate in the air of winter, but the snow boarder extraordinaire got himself in some trouble early Sunday morning on the grounds of a Nashville hotel. Here’s what allegedly went down: The Nashville Metro Police Department says cops were called to the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel around 2 a.m. because a clearly drunk White evacuated the facility by pulling the fire alarm. He also reportedly smashed a phone. When another guest tried to stop The X Games champion from fleeing the scene via taxi, White kicked that individual and sprinted away on foot. Or tried to, at least. The victim jumped to his feet and tackled White, who slammed his head against a fence. White – who authorities confirm reeked of alcohol – was taken to a nearby hospital and booked for vandalism and public intoxication. Fortunately for him, the citizen declined to press assault charges.
Ahead of Thursday’s trailer premiere, Steven Spielberg and Co. have released a first-look teaser for Lincoln , starring Daniel Day-Lewis as the 16th President of the United States. Get a taste of what Spielberg has in store with this somber (but stirring!) bit of footage from the film. Gettysburg Address, y’all! I like the conceit of Lincoln hearing his own inspirational words recited back to him, feeling his impact on his fellow man even in the sparest of moments in what looks to be a quiet Union encampment. Synopsis: Steven Spielberg directs two-time Academy Award® winner Daniel Day-Lewis in “Lincoln,” a revealing drama that focuses on the 16th President’s tumultuous final months in office. In a nation divided by war and the strong winds of change, Lincoln pursues a course of action designed to end the war, unite the country and abolish slavery. With the moral courage and fierce determination to succeed, his choices during this critical moment will change the fate of generations to come. Lincoln hits theaters on November 9 and stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Sally Field, Tommy Lee Jones, David Strathairn, Lee Pace, Jackie Earle Haley, John Hawkes, and more.

As a movie title, The Place Beyond The Pines doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, but that didn’t stop the latest project from Derek Cianfrance and his Blue Valentine star Ryan Gosling from being one of the most discussed films at the Toronto International Film Festival . The picture — which tells the tale of a bank-robbing motorcycle stunt driver (Gosling), a cop (Bradley Cooper) who fatefully crosses his path and their sons, did not have a distributor when it premiered at the festival on Friday night. That changed when Deadline reported on Sunday that Focus Features had acquired the film for release. On Saturday, Gosling and Cianfrance met with the press to discuss the making of the film, its thematic exploration of legacy, and Gosling’s fantasy about robbing banks on a motorcycle — an idea that figures into the plot of film. The Pines, Cianfrance explained, “is a place where you find your demons but also where you can find your destiny.” As for that title, it doesn’t sound so cumbersome when you consider that it could have been called Schenectady . Read on for the explanation. You said at the premiere on Friday that The Place Beyond The Pines is a movie about “Legacy.” Can you elaborate on that? Derek Cianfrance: It’s a movie about what we pass on. I started writing it in 2007 right before my second son was born. I was thinking about what kind of father I was going to become again, and I was thinking about this feeling I’ve had inside me my whole life. There’s this fire inside me that had helped me do many things in my life, but that also was very destructive. And I started thinking that my father — and my grandfather — had that fire and then wondering how far back it went and where it started. I was also thinking about this baby that was going to come into the world that was going to be clean and what I was going to give him. I was thinking how I didn’t want him to have the fire. I wanted him to be fresh and clean. Very quickly, that led to this idea about legacy. Ever since film school, I had wanted to make a triptych, like Abel Gance’s film Napoleon , but I didn’t know what story to tell. When I discovered this idea of legacy, I realized that that was how I would tell this story. That fire that you mention — it shapes who you become but you have to take control of it. DC: Yes, it’s the choices you make, but sometimes you’re born into a world with all of these repercussions that people have made before you. So you have to fight and claw to get out of that. You said at the premiere that you were reading a lot of Jack London at the time. I was reading pretty much everything I could find that Jack London had written. If you just take The Call of the Wild , for example, it’s about this domesticated wolf that hears the calling of his ancestors. When he howls at the moon, he feels the hunger — and how his ancestors were starving — and he can sing their song with them. That line continues, and I got kind of obsessed with this idea of evolution, of where that came from within me. And of my ancestors. And wanting them to be better than me. Wanting them to survive. If they’re worse than me, then they don’t survive. Then your bloodline doesn’t survive. And to survive is brutal. Ryan, what’s significant about the film for you? Ryan Gosling: I love Derek’s idea of passing the narrative. I saw this film called The Red and the White [Miklós Jancsó]. It’s this war picture and you’re following this one soldier, and, suddenly, he gets killed. Then you’re following the guy that killed him and he ends up attacking some woman. And the you follow the woman. It was completely different kind of experience, and when I saw it, I wondered why this type of picture wasn’t done more often. I thought it was very interesting that Derek wanted to do that. Initially, we talked about this film before Blue Valentine. I was saying to Derek that I always wanted to rob banks, but I’m scared of jail. But, if I was going to do it, I would do it on a motorcycle then drive up into a U-Haul [after the robbery to hide the bike] That’s how I would get away with it. And he said, “That’s crazy. I just wrote a script about that.” So, I said, ‘I’m in.” What appeals to you about robbing banks — the adrenaline rush? RG: There’s just all this money there, and some people are walking in with more than others. And what I learned from this movie is you just have to ask for it. [The tellers] have to give it to you. I’m not promoting this idea, but I would say don’t use a weapon if you’re going to do it. It’s just safer all around and less time in jail. And all of the people we interviewed said that the ones that did it nicely got less time. There’s a Hitchcockian element to this movie and your character. RG: I’m Janet Leigh. That’s how I’ve always thought of myself. Both Ryan’s character, Luke, and Bradley Cooper’s character, Avery are complex, morally flawed guys. But Avery, who comes from a so-called good family, isn’t punished for his shortcomings. Are you making a class statement there? DC: We shot this movie in Schenectady, New York. Schenectady, which is the Iroquois word for “the place beyond the pines,” is the place where my wife grew up and where one of my co-writers Ben Coccio grew up, and I feel like there are these tribes of people in these small cities and towns that keep themselves in certain strata, for lack of a better word. And this movie is about those different tribes that live in a contemporary American city. And I feel like the bloodline goes very far back. Avery is born into this small-town royalty. His father is a judge, but even though Avery went to law school, he wants to become his own man. His decision to become a police officer shows that he is trying to carve his own path and escape his father’s legacy, but it’s very difficult. Ryan, did you and Derek work together to develop your character? RG: We worked on it together. We talked a lot about the myth of Parsifal and the Red Knight. That was sort of what I used. A lot about this character was someone who ws posturing and posing and performing. We liked the idea of him maybe alluding to things that weren’t true, and him being a mystery even to himself — lost in his own mythology. All the tattoos I wear in the movie — I don’t know how necessary they are, but they were a part of trying to understand this character. What’s interesting about working with Derek is that you’re not allowed to take your decisions lightly. They’re permanent, and any step you take with your character, you have to embrace that. For instance, with the face tattoo [of a dagger] that I wear in the movie, it was the last one applied, and I felt like it was too much when it came down to it. I thought, I don’t want to have a tattoo on my face this whole movie. It’s just going to be distracting, and I think I’ve gone too far. And Derek said, “That’s what happens when you get a face tattoo. That’s how you feel. And now you’re stuck with it.” So then I had to go through the whole film having that tattoo on my face, and I regretted it the whole time. Only Derek would do that. Only Derek would do that. You really convey onscreen that you care for the baby you fathered with Eva Mendes’ character. RG: First of all that’s due to the fact that the kid that Derek cast, who plays my son as an infant — his name is Tony Pizza. It’s hard not to like a guy named Tony Pizza, Anthony Pizza Jr. So, I just liked that guy, and we really hit it off. DC: There’s a line in the film where Luke’s character says, “I never had my father and look at the way I turned out.” I think there’s this kind of shame in his character. He’s marked. And he sees this boy that’s clean, that has no marks, that hasn’t been tainted that thing happens that can happen, which is this overwhelming feeling of responsibility. This character takes responsibility because it’s something so pure in his life and he never had that. I know a lot of people who didn’t grow up with strong fathers or grew up with absent fathers and they turned out to be the most dedicated fathers. At the boy’s baptism, you cry onscreen. RG: I didn’t know that that was going to happen. Again, it’s a credit to Derek’s process because it’s never something that’s asked of you or in the script — those emotional benchmarks that you know you have to reach. I was just sitting in the church watching the baby be baptized, and I don’t know why I was emotional but I was. The motorcycle chase scenes are intense. How were they shot? DC: My reference points were Cops and America’s Wildest Police Chases . I wanted it to feel like a video that came from a camera mounted to the dash of a cop car. And so that raised the stakes for shooting. It raised the stakes for Ryan because there are some stunts in there where he really had to learn how to ride a motorcycle very well. There are certain takes where he had to park the bike, rob the bank, leave the bank, get back on the motorcycle, drive into traffic while being pursued by a cop car and go through an intersection avoiding 36 cars. And he had to do that 22 times. And every time I watched that scene, I think, he’s going to get hit — because every time he did it, he almost got hit. Ryan, did you do all of your stunts? RG: No, in scenes like that where Derek planned them as one shot, I had to do them. But there were a lot of things that the stunt driver Rick Miller did. When Batman gets on a motorcycle [in The Dark Knight films], that’s Rick Miller in the suit. He ‘s the best that there is. He and I rode motorcycles for a few months beforehand. And he showed me the best that he could. But these things take a lifetime to learn. I did my best, but my best wasn’t good enough. How scared were you? RG: I think you need it a little bit. Once you lose the fear, you got to get off it because then your mind starts to wonder and you get in trouble. But when I was a kid, I was walking to school and saw this guy on a motorcycle get hit by a car. He was laying on the ground, and I looked at him and he had blood coming out of his head. And my first thought was, I’ve got to get a motorcycle. Motorcycles put some kind of spell on you. It’s dangerous. Derek, in the the last third of the movie, you get remarkable performances from two young actors, Dane DeHaan and Emory Cohen, who play the sons of, respectively, Luke and Avery. How long did you have to look to find these two actors? DC: I auditioned over 500 kids for those roles. I thought I was going to cast raw people, but in order to keep this baton pass going, I needed them to be at a certain level. I met them very late in the process. The first thing I heard them discussing what who was a better actor, James Dean or Marlon Brando. And they could not agree. Then, they were debating whether Al Pacino or Robert De Niro was better. Dane said “Pacino,” and Emory said “De Niro,” and I realized that these kids had ambition to be great and that I could unleash that conflict on the movie. But at the same time, they had so much in common. They were flip sides of a coin. This is the second time you’ve worked with Derek. Why the repeat the performance? RG: I was excited to work with Derek again because so much of making a first film with somebody is getting to know one another and how you work — and you really just get started by the time it’s over. I feel like Derek and I had a shorthand when we came into this film. We were able to do much more in a shorter period of time. We both evolved and the film evolved together. We have instant access to each other, which you need when you’re making a film because time is always coming to get you. Derek, what’s special about working with Ryan? RG: I look like Derek. DC: He’s just a magic person. He makes things better. We’ve all seen him save people by getting hit by a car, and we’ve all seen him break up fights in the city. And that’s what he does in a movie. He makes the world a better place. He makes me a better filmmaker and everyone around him better. That’s why I have no doubt that he’ll be a great filmmaker. Ryan, when do you start shooting How to Catch A Monster and what can you tell us about it? RG: Beginning of next year. Christina Hendricks is in the film. I’m not going to be in the film. That’s probably all I should say about it. Are you two planning to work together again? DC: I hope so. RG: Yeah. DC: The next thing I’m doing is this HBO series [on bodybuilding] called Muscle. [Turns to Gosling] I’d love it if you could do it, but you would have to gain about 80 pounds of muscle over the next five years. Read more from the Toronto Film Festival.

The night began with a little celebrity-fueled silliness. As Ryan Gosling arrived at the Princess of Wales Theater in Toronto for the premiere of his latest picture, The Place Beyond The Pines , a crowd of eager fans barged across traffic-stalled King Street to swarm the object of their affection. But once Gosling’s second film with filmmaker Derek Cianfrance — they made the remarkably pure heartbreaker Blue Valentine together — got started, it was clear that the two friends and a remarkable cast that included Bradley Cooper , Eva Mendes and Ben Mendelsohn had made a seriously good movie. [ GALLERY: The Place Beyond The Pines And More TIFF Films Likely To Succeed ] As Cianfrance told the crowd afterward, the movie “is about legacy — about being a father.” Gosling plays a stunt motorcyclist who turns to bank-robbing out of sense of responsibility to a child he fathered; his performance is so indelible that you don’t forget him once he’s left the screen. The remarkable thing is that Cianfrance — who said during the Q&A that the structure of the film was inspired by Psycho — gets Bradley Cooper, who plays a Schenectady, NY cop with adjustable morals, to pick up the baton and carry the movie before handing it off to Dane DeHaan and Emory Cohen, who both give memorable performances as the sons, respectively, of Gosling’s and Cooper’s characters. Indeed, there are so many strong performances in this movie — Mendelsohn is also a standout — that the Academy could have a tough time figuring out who to honor with a nomination. Cianfrance told the crowd that he actually began writing the film before Blue Valentine in 2007 when he was in the process of becoming a father for the second time. “I was thinking a lot about becoming a father again [and remembering that] I had a fire in me.” Sometimes, Cianfrance said, “it had helped” and “sometimes it destroyed things.” Thinking about the son he was expecting, the director said: “I didn’t want him to have the fire.” The Place Beyond The Pines is all about that fire and it leaves a searing impression, though there were some light moments during the Q&A. At the very end of the evening, after Gosling politely brushed off compliments about his sexiness and the tattoos he wears in the film, a woman in the balcony screamed, “Ryan I’m pregnant!” Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter.

Wildfox is some hipster clothing line that is smart enough to hire a hot, famous, red headed, Brazilian, Victoria’s Secret model, named Cintia Dicker for the most recent swim campaigns…. Cintia Dicker always reminds me that I have never fucked a red head, cuz the red heads I knew growing up, were not hot model types…but were the freaks red heads are marketed as….all strong, awkward, pale and out of a horror movie….leading to confusion when reading Archie comics, trying to understand why he was always tempted by the red head, but more importantly, leading to being grossed the fuck out when I realized the fire crotch existede…. But now…I just want to dick Cintia Dicker…and other red heads but they are their own species and they know I wronged at least one of their kind years ago…meaning it will probably never happen…but at least I can stare at her in her half nakedness…..it is better than nothing.
