Nose candy ! Elementary School Kids Caught Smoking Powdered Candy Via HuffPo reports: This isn’t what a “sugar high” was supposed to mean. Fourth- and fifth-grade students in South Carolina were caught smoking and inhaling crushed Smarties and Fun Dip candies, said Glenn Wile, Fountain Inn Elementary School principal. FOX Carolina reported that faculty members discovered at least 31 kids, boys and girls — sucking in the candies — “creating a puff of smoke.” The school responded to the ongoing problem by sending a letter to parents, making them aware of the situation’s “inappropriateness” and banning any candy that can be powdered. Drugs and candy have had a tumultuous relationship in elementary and high schools. In 2011, “Pothead Ring Pots” and “Pothead Lollipops” — candies shaped like marijuana — had public officials, parents and anti-drug activists up in arms when they began appearing on store shelves. On the more serious side, last year, a 29-year-old man allegedly sold drug-laced sweets to children. Police believe the man put tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) — a substance present in marijuana — in root beer-flavored treats. The days of candy cigarettes seem so much simpler compared to this! Keep that candy out ya nose kids.
Baking waffles? Bullets in oven?? Only in Florida … Florida Woman Shot By Oven While Cooking Waffles Via Tmapa Bay Times reports: A young woman trying to make an evening snack ended up at the hospital Monday night after a round of ammunition exploded inside an oven, police said. Eighteen-year-old Aalaya Walker just wanted some waffles. What she didn’t know was that her friend Javarski “JJ” Sandy, 25, had placed a magazine from his .45-caliber Glock 21 in the oven. It’s unclear why he would do that. Walker preheated the oven shortly after 9 p.m. She heard an explosion a short time later. She picked fragments of at least one round from her chest and leg. She rode the bus to St. Anthony’s Hospital, where she met with officers. They sought out Sandy, who was at his apartment in the 200 block of 24th St. N. Sandy, who has a permit to carry a concealed weapon, confirmed Walker’s story. He told authorities there were four rounds in the magazine. He showed the melted magazine to officers, though he’d already thrown away the other bullets. “He stated that he does not have a temperature gauge on the oven so he estimates the temperature based on how far the knob is turned,” an officer wrote in a report. “I observed that the inside of the oven was damaged.” Police described Walker’s wounds as “superficial.” They did not make any arrests. Why the hell was ammo stored in the oven?!? More importantly, who the hell makes waffles in a damn oven??? Jesus take the wheel, brakes and engine!
Grab a seat, rocking chair and hammock! Azealia Banks Defends Using Gay Slur Rising hip-hop star Azealia Banks has continued to dig herself into a deeper and deeper hole over her appropriation of the gay slur that begins with the letter F. She started out calling blogger Perez Hilton the derogatory term in early January. Via Yahoo News reports: Banks then got into a Twitter argument last Friday defending herself: “Everyone pretending to be so shocked and moved by the word (fa***t)… It’s like society is so bored with itself it needs to hold on to these outdated rules of what you can say and cannot say… Why has society accepted ‘ni**er’ As a colloquialism … But will not accept ‘(fa***t)’? “Everyones always acting like its f**king 1905 in this bitch. What is your definition of the word faggot? (Fa***t) means coward, liar, backstabber…… Energy stealer, blood sucker. Perez tries to get every gay person all riled up when the only (fa***t) I see …….. is him. It’s really time for a cultural shift. All these leftover old world social themes we’re all still trying to hold on to are BOOORRIIING” And now this week, Banks is taking on the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, telling Australia’s theMusic.com, “There are such bigger problems… and then you’ve got organisations like GLAAD, which are f**king complete bulls**t. “I mean let’s look at it, it’s gay and lesbian alliance against defamation, or whatever…. that’s what it stands for, right? I mean would you agree that homosexuals, and the homosexual community, have bigger problems than the word (fa***t), you know what I mean?” In response to Banks back in January, GLAAD Associate Director of Entertainment Matt Kane wrote, “Banks’ claim that the word “fa**ot” doesn’t mean a gay male is not true. Regardless of her intent or her personal definition, what matters is the meaning given to that word by those who hear it, and the damage it causes when they do. Undoubtedly there are gay kids who follow her on Twitter who hear this word in an entirely different context. This word is used almost universally by bullies, often as part of a larger verbal or physical assault. This word hurts those kids, no matter what Banks meant by it.” Last Friday, GLAAD reached out to Banks on Twitter to offer to begin a dialogue about the issue. Should slurs such as ni**er and fa**ot be accepted in today’s society?? Discuss…
SMH Former Senator Admits To Fathering A Child With Another Senator’s Daughter While Married An ex Republican Senator from New Mexico recently dropped a bombshell on his family and his community when he revealed that he’d had an extramarital affair and even fathered a child with another Senator’s daughter when she was just 24-years-old. via ABC News Former New Mexico Senator Pete Domenici revealed today that he fathered a son in an extramarital affair with another senator’s daughter more than 30 years ago and has kept the secret since then, only telling his own family in the last “several months.” In a statement to the Albuquerque Journal, the 80-year-old Republican, who represented New Mexico for more than 30 years, said the mother of his son “made me pledge that we would never reveal that parenthood and I have tried to honor that pledge and so has she.” Domenici wrote that he was worried about the privacy of his son, a 34-year-old Nevada lawyer named Adam Laxalt, as well as the potential impact on Laxalt’s mother, Michelle Laxalt, 58. Domenici has eight other children with his wife Nancy. “My past action has caused hurt and disappointment to my wife, children, family, and others. For that I am solely responsible,” Domenici, who still lives in Washington, D.C., said in the statement. “My family has been aware of these events for several months. I have apologized as best as I can to my wife, and we have worked together to strengthen our relationship. I deeply regret this and am very sorry for my behavior. I hope New Mexicans will view that my accomplishments for my beloved state outweigh my personal transgression.” Michelle Laxalt, the daughter of former U.S. senator and Nevada Gov. Paul Laxalt, is a former government relations consultant and lobbyist. Finding out your husband cheated and fathered a child after 8 children together and over 30 years of marriage has to be pretty hard to take. Would you leave your 80-year-old husband if you found out he’d cheated and fathered a child after over 30 years of marriage? AP
In an effort to avoid death at the hands of trigger-happy cops on the trail of Christopher Dorner L.A. residents are resorting to signage and shirts identifying them as “Not Christopher Dorner.” This is pretty sad. Images via @MichelleFields
So buff and so strong… We’re hearing stories that his locked up lifestyle has changed O.J. Simpson . He done changed his mind about women! According to National Enquirer reports : AFTER nearly five years behind bars, O.J. SIMPSON’s bizarre behavior has some of his close friends worried that the former football great has gone gay! “I don’t know what’s happened to O.J.,” an insider told The ENQUIRER. “He used to be Mr. Macho – a diehard ladies’ man. He preferred the really fine sexy blondes, but being surrounded by only men has changed him. “Now O.J. has way too much interest in guys, and he likes to show off his body to the hardened felons when they exercise in the prison yard. He’s doesn’t even talk about women, just about guys. “It doesn’t sound to me like he’s straight anymore!” Once a notorious skirt-chaser, Simpson was convicted in 2008 for robbing memorabilia dealers at gunpoint the year before. Not long after the conviction, the 65-year-old gridiron great was sent to Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada to serve a 9- to 33-year prison sentence. He isn’t eligible for parole until 2017. After the recent Super Bowl, the insider says O.J. called him – but he seemed more interested in the way the players looked than what happened in the game! “He couldn’t stop talking about Baltimore Ravens receiver Anquan Boldin,” noted the source. He said, ‘Anquan is my man! What a great looking guy!’ “Clearly, he wasn’t admiring Boldin just for his football skills. He kept going on about him and some of the other players in a tone that sounded sexual to me. “That alone wouldn’t make me worry, but O.J. also spends a large part of his time in prison lifting weights. Though his hair is graying, he’s built up his body to where he is really muscular.” Incredibly, Simpson puts on a one-man show for fellow inmates when they go to exercise. “He’s like a God to the other inmates,” said the insider. “He prances around flexing his muscles, wearing only a pair of gym shorts. “He spends hours in the gym trying to look as good as those guys in the muscle magazines. He works out with several inmates who are really built.” Perhaps the biggest tip-off that O.J. may now be playing for the other side is his choice of prison companions, according to the source. He says the former ladies’ man hangs out with a group of openly gay men known as “The Girls.” “WHENEVER HE’S LET out into the prison yard, he stays with them,” revealed the insider. “He says, ‘The Girls treat me like I was a king!’ “He claims they flirt with him and even give him massages. Some even call him ‘DJ’ – short for ‘Daddy Juice.’ ” O.J. has used “The Girls” as his personal posse for years now, added the insider. “He says he has even gifted a few of the ‘girls’ with candy bars, sodas and toiletries from the prison canteen,” continued the insider. “I’ve asked O.J. why he doesn’t talk about women anymore, but he just laughs it off. He says, ‘Man, what do you think I am? You’ve known me for many years. C’mon, get off all this. There ain’t no women in here! Of course I talk about guys. We’re all guys in here.’ “But I can’t help being concerned about O.J. He certainly isn’t the same man he was before being locked up.” The insider is not alone in his concerns. A source who’s been close to Simpson for 15 years confided to The ENQUIRER: “It wouldn’t surprise me if he has gone gay. “O.J. is doing the best he can living in the prison world surrounded by men. I don’t know if he has become gay. He always loved women and was a lusty lover, but anything can happen to a man behind bars. He has to be the center of attention wherever he is, and in prison he still plays that game. He is the star and has all the other prisoners looking up to him.” The source added that the only time O.J. previously seemed sexually interested in a man was years ago in a nightclub in Miami’s South Beach, where he swooned for 6-foot-2 professional drag queen Elaine Lancaster. Even after he was told she was a he, O.J. still wouldn’t give up the chase! As O.J. gazed longingly at the curvy blonde, one of his companions recalls him saying: “With something that beautiful, who cares?” Well, well, well. He has been in jail a long time riiiiiight? Hit the flip for a photo of this “beautiful” Elaine Lancaster. AP
We already told you about the horrific details from the young woman who testified Mendeecees told her she performed better sex acts than her mom but neglected to mention that Yandy has been in the courtroom to support her baby daddy at his trial. According to Cliffview Pilot reports , Yandy was definitely there for the beginning of the trial on Tuesday: “We call it taking candy from a baby,” Assistant Bergen County Prosecutor Demetra Maurice said. “An adult like Mendeecee Harris can easily manipulate a child into doing things like performing “sloppy top” – with words, with actions and later, with money,” Maurice said, as Harris, his girlfriend — fellow “Love & Hip Hop” celebrity Yandy Smith — and other family members and friends looked on. (A entourage escorted her into the courtroom and moved with her during breaks — with some holding coats over her face to block photographers. One member of the group even followed a CLIFFVIEW PILOT reporter/photographer upstairs and around a corner when she sat down to write.) The publication did not make any mention of her presence in their coverage of closing arguments however: Harris’ defense attorney Bryan Neary took issue with the key witness not being able to remember dates of specific incidents, citing what he called “contradiction upon contradiction” and “inconsistencies.” Their Lodi home didn’t have locks, he said, and the woman’s brothers were around, running in and out of the house — making the sexual encounters she described implausible. Neary also took issue with Assistant Bergen County Prosecutor Demetra Maurice’s attempt to untangle Harris’ relationships with three different women. “How dare the prosecutor suggest that because he had a different lifestyle – that because he had different girlfriends – sometimes at the same time?” Neary asked. “And that he’s a reality TV star who gets $4,000 an episode… How dare she?” “Not one question contradicted his belief, his strong feeling, and the truth that he had nothing to do with this girl, nothing to do with these sexual allegations,” Neary said. “He broke down and said, ‘I didn’t do this,’ on the verge of tears.” Maurice, by contrast, instructed jurors that, as a minor, “the victim has no duty under the law to pull away, to resist, to absent herself from the situation.” “She doesn’t know that because she’s a child and she’s ashamed,” Maurice said. “This is a child, a child who felt shame and guilt,” she told jurors. “The man she trusted stood in front of her pleasuring himself, “splurged” on her breasts. “This child closed her eyes and pretended she was somewhere else.” During the trial, when asked if the girls’ testimony was true, Mendeecees told his defense attorney “No. No way. No, no,” from the stand. If you were Yandy, do you think you would be able to sit in the courtroom and hear all that and still believe your baby daddy was innocent???
Kim K. tells her family that Kanye comes first! Kim Kardashian Tells Family That Kanye West Comes First Kim Kardashian bluntly tells her family they take a backseat to her relationship with rapper Kanye West on this Sunday’s episode of Kourtney and Kim Take Miami… Via RadarOnline reports: Noteworthy is that the episode was filmed last autumn, prior to Kanye announcing in December that he and Kim are expecting a child. In the clip, Kim emerges to tell sister Kourtney, mother Kris Jenner and stepdad Bruce Jenner that she will be able to participate in a boat-racing event – after she backed out of it mistakenly thinking Kanye would be around. When she walks into the kitchen, where the first family of reality TV is eating breakfast, Bruce immediately attacks her, asking, “Little Kimmie, what are you gonna back out on today? Anything else you want to get out of?” She tells the family, “I can actually go” – explaining that Kanye had a last-minute flight to take – but everyone is upset at the inherent message sent with her newfound availability. “So we’re you’re back-up choice?” Kris asked, while Kourtney surmised, “So we’re second priority.” “Yeah you are,” Kim, 32, shot back. “Yeah, in my life you are!” Kim’s honesty rubbed Bruce the wrong way, as he told her, “You know, I’m the team captain and I like commitment … there’s no more room, sorry.” Kim sure has her priorties in order. Wonder if she shared the same sentiments about Ray J, Reggie Bush and Kris Humphries….
Exhibit A your honor… Tony Parker Uses Chris Brown-Frank Ocean Brawl As Evidence In Nightclub Lawsuit According to TMZ reports : Chris Brown’s volcanic temper — in particular his recent blowup with Frank Ocean — has ironically become NBA star Tony Parker’s secret weapon in a lawsuit against a New York City nightclub … TMZ has learned. TMZ broke the story … Parker has filed a $20 million lawsuit against W.i.P. nightclub, claiming it should never have let Brown in last June — the night his posse fought with Drake’s people … a fight that ended with a shard of glass piercing Tony’s cornea. Tony has just filed new legal docs in his lawsuit, claiming Chris Brown’s parking-spot fiasco last week with Frank Ocean is proof he’s unfit to socialize in places where he’s likely to fly off the handle. You’ll recall … the fight between team Brown and team Drake at W.i.P. erupted because both men were romantically linked to Rihanna. And speaking of Rihanna … Tony’s new legal docs make reference to her brutal beating … at the hands of one Chris Brown. Tony believes there was more than enough evidence on the table to deny Chris a table at W.i.P. on the violent night in question. Tony might be reaching a lil’ bit. We get that Chris has issues, but what club is REALLY gonna deny him entry if he wants to come in and spend money with them? Good luck gettin’ that gwap playa. Image via AP
