Kenya goes HAM on fraudy Apollo! Kenya Moore Slams Phaedra And Apollo After Fraud Arrest Via UB Magazine reports: We knew it was only a matter of time before Kenya Moore would publicly find pleasure in Apollo Nida’s recent arrest and new batch of serious legal problems. As we reported recently, Nida was charged with bank fraud and identity theft . A woman who claimed to have been his partner in various and alleged fraudulent schemes gave him up to the feds after she was caught in the act, and she claims they have been committing the crimes since 2009, the same year he married Phaedra Parks. We’re assuming Kenya feels validated by the recent news, so she took to her Twitter account to take shots and tell her followers that the whole situation should be proof that Apollo was not telling the truth about the whole text message situation. Kenya has beefed with the couple in the past but it looks like all her allegations were right. Hit the flip to peep an update on the Apollo identify theft case as well as more tweets from Kenya calling the fraudy RHOA hubby out!
Man Killed Trying To Save Suicidal Person On Train Tracks It’s sad he died while trying to save another person’s life. His willingness to put his life in danger to help save another life is commendable. According to Mercury News: As the express train came hurtling toward the Santa Clara station, Philip Scholz was waiting on the raised platform for his train home when he saw a man down on the Caltrain tracks. Scholz acted fast. He dropped his backpack, lay down on his belly and reached for the stranger on the tracks. “As the train approached, the person did want to get out of the way,” said his wife, Emily Scholz, “but between him and Phil, something happened and they were hit.” Scholz died on the tracks. The other man survived. Speaking publicly on Friday for the first time since her husband’s rescue attempt went wrong Monday evening, Emily Scholz said she learned he was dead — and what he did — when San Mateo County sheriff’s deputies arrived at her doorstep that night to deliver the horrible news. Scholz’s death left friends and co-workers stunned — shocked to lose a well-loved and respected companion but not surprised to hear he died trying to save someone else. He helped people. That is what he did, they said, even to the extent of risking his life for someone he’d never met. “That’s totally Phil, putting someone else before himself,” said Matt Conwell of Portland, Ore., who met Scholz 12 years ago in a professional capacity but became fast friends. “That’s the way he was. I can only hope to live life like he did.” Prayers go out to his family. Facebook
No, it’s Selena who should run as far away as she can from Justin . Justin Bieber’s Advisors Tell Him To Stay Away From Selena Gomez This relationship just seems to be getting more and more toxic. Justin needs to get his isht together. According to Radar Online: Justin Bieber’s closest confidantes, including manager Scooter Braun, have advised the pop star to steer clear of his on-and-off-again girlfriend, Selena Gomez, because the ex-Disney starlet is a “bad influence,” RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned. “There is always so much — ridiculous — drama involving both of them. They fight constantly and Selena loves to keep Justin hanging. He always acts out after they fight. Selena is just not good for Justin. They need to stay away from each other.” However, after Bieber’s arrest in the early morning hours of Thursday in Miami for a DUI, drag racing, resisting arrest and driving on an expired license — the warning seems odd. “These are very young kids essentially, with no real adult supervision or guidance in their lives and it shows,” the source added. “Justin also does really stupid stuff to try and impress Selena. Frustratingly for his advisors, he gets so much negative press, but Selena never does. If Justin were to cut off all communication with Selena, he would be in a much better place.” Said another insider, “Most of Justin’s team thinks she has a generally positive influence on him because she has her act together… (but) he does act out a lot more often than (not) when he deals with her.” Do you believe Selena has a negative influence on Justin?

So you think you’re going to deceive the government? Nice try… Blind Man Collecting $175K In Disability Caught Driving Speed Boat We hope stealing government checks was worth going to jail. According to JS Online: A Greendale man was sentenced to a year in federal prison Tuesday for fraudulently collecting $175,000 in Social Security benefits and lying on his taxes, after he claimed he was blind and couldn’t work, drive or read without help. In reality, Lawrence Popp could do all those things, according to federal agents who secretly recorded him. The 58-year-old man ran businesses while collecting government benefits and spent lavishly on trips and jewelry, records show. He could read small print on his phone and drive a car, a snowmobile and even a water-ski boat, according to surveillance video recorded and obtained by agents working for the Social Security Administration and the IRS. “The lies are just one after another,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Gordon Giampietro, who recommended two years in prison, said in court. “This is a cynical abuse of a program truly geared to those who need assistance.” Popp’s attorney, Raymond Dall’Osto, recommended probation, citing Popp’s continuing health problems. Dall’Osto said his client is guilty but noted the money he stole and the taxes he failed to pay would be repaid quickly. SMH. Shutterstock

WTF??? Man Ordered To Pay Child Support To Lesbian Couple Via Kansas City reports: A man who provided sperm to a lesbian couple in response to an online ad is the father of a child born to one of the women and must pay child support, a Kansas judge ruled Wednesday. Topeka resident William Marotta had argued that he had waived his parental rights and didn’t intend to be a father. Shawnee County District Judge Mary Mattivi rejected that claim, saying the parties didn’t involve a licensed physician in the artificial insemination process and thus Marotta didn’t qualify as a sperm donor, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported. “In this case, quite simply, the parties failed to perform to statutory requirement of the Kansas Parentage Act in not enlisting a licensed physician at some point in the artificial insemination process, and the parties’ self-designation of (Marotta) as a sperm donor is insufficient to relieve (Marotta) of parental right and responsibilities to the child,” Mattivi wrote. The Kansas Department for Children and Families filed the case in October 2012, seeking to have Marotta declared the father of a child born to Jennifer Schreiner in 2009. The state’s objective was to hold Marotta responsible for about $6,000 in public assistance the state provided, as well as future child support. Marotta opposed that action, saying he had contacted Schreiner and her partner at the time, Angela Bauer, in response to an ad they placed on Craigslist seeking a sperm donor. He said he signed a contract waiving his parental rights and responsibilities. Attorneys for the state contended the contract was moot because the parties didn’t follow a 1994 Kansas law requiring a licensed physician to perform the artificial insemination when donors were involved. During oral arguments at a hearing in October, Timothy Keck, co-lead counsel for the state, said the case focused on child support. Marotta’s attorney, Benoit Swinnen, cited several court rulings that he said support the argument that Marotta is legally a sperm donor and not required to pay child support. Swinnen also argued that the Kansas statute doesn’t specifically require the artificial insemination to be carried out by a physician. Do you think the man should have to pay child support to the lesbian couple??
Racist much? Ted Nugent Calls President Obama Racial Slurs Ted Nugent calls President Obama a “subhuman mongrel” and then implies he’s a “chimpanzee” in a new interview. Via Gossip Cop reports: The rocker, reality TV star and amateur political commentator was speaking with Guns.com when he unleashed the inflammatory language. Complaining about the state of the country, Nugent tells his interviewer, “I have obviously failed to galvanize and prod, if not shame enough Americans to be ever vigilant not to let a Chicago communist-raised, communist-educated, communist-nurtured subhuman mongrel like the ACORN community organizer gangster Barack Hussein Obama to weasel his way into the top office of authority in the United States of America.” Charming. Nugent later says, with reference to the deaths of Americans in Benghazi, Libya in 2012, “I would call it inflammatory speech when it’s your job to protect Americans, and you look into the television camera and say what difference does it make that I failed in my job to provide security and we have four dead Americans.” “What difference does that make? Not to a chimpanzee or to Hillary Clinton, I guess it doesn’t matter,” added the musician. For good measure, he also says that Clinton has “spare scrotums.” Out of all insults why use chimpanzee to describe the president? What a racist and sexist piece of isht!
