Florida Teen Charged with Weapon-Related Felonies Due to Science Project Mishap

Kiera Wilmot, a 16-year old at Bartow High School in Florida, was expelled from school this week and now faces two felony charges after her what classmates have labeled a “science project gone bad.” According to WTSP, Wilmot was mixing household chemicals in an eight-ounce water bottle Monday morning when the bottle’s top flew off and a mini explosion occurred. No one was hurt the blast. But the police soon arrived and charged the teenager with possession/discharge of a weapon on school grounds and discharging a destructive device. She was actually handcuffed and taken to a juvenile assessment center. Wilmot’s teacher says she never assigned her student this experiment, though principal Ron Pritchard is standing up for Wilmot. “She wanted to see what would happen [when the chemicals mixed] and was shocked by what it did,” he said, adding: “Honestly, I don’t think she meant to ever hurt anyone.” Still, the school district said it was forced to uphold its “code of conduct” and Kiera must now complete her diploma through an expulsion program.

Storage Wars: More Cast Members Fired in Wake of Lawsuit?

In the aftermath of Dave Hester’s Storage Wars lawsuit , two more familiar faces have now been cut back on the hit show, according to a new report. David Hester has already been frozen out by A&E execs after he filed suit, complete with charges that the show is faked in many ways to add drama. Now Darrell Sheets has been cut out of approximately six episodes, and auctioneers Dan and Laura Dotson were also cut loose, Radar is reporting . “They lived up to Darrell’s contract, but then shot six more episodes that weren’t covered by his contract and kept him out of those,” a source said. “He was not happy to say the least.” Sheets, known as “The Gambler” on the show, is a popular character, but the source explains the primary motive for cutting him back was money. “It seems as if they are going after some of the higher paid cast members,” the source said. “Meanwhile they are expanding the franchise.“ The Dotsons are not happy either. “They make good money and they need the money,” a source said. “Suddenly the show just told them, ‘We don’t need you for this episode.’ Then it happened again.” “So they’ve been battling to stay on the air,” a second Dotson source adds. “And say they are worried about their futures. The show is a gold mine.” Hester, a central character on the show, still has his lawsuit pending. He charges that execs paid the cast to “rent” intriguing items and “seed” them in lockers. Other items were placed in lockers by production company members, to be discovered on camera, according to Hester, who says they are ALL in on it. Sheets and the Dotsons have not directly addressed those allegations, and are believed to want to remain on the show if they can swing it. Stay tuned.

Soccer Style Alley-Oop: One Awesome Hybrid Sports Highlight!

What happens when you hybridize soccer and basketball? This pretty freaking cool alley-oop clip, that’s what! Soccer Alley-Oop In a charity basketball dunk contest, renowned dunkers “Pat The Roc” and Gary “G” Smith executed the reverse heel-kick and the finish, respectively. The clip’s YouTube description says it “might be the greatest alley-oop ever performed.” We’d argue that LeBron’s alley-oop to himself beats it. It was, after all, in a game. But props, Pat the Roc and G!

Lindsay Lohan to Seek Extensive Psychotherapy, Set Up Youth Foundation, Lawyer Claims

Throwing everything against the wall in hopes that something will stick, Lindsay Lohan ‘s attorney says she is going to seek help – and devote time and money to helping others. Mark Heller, filed a motion requesting that Lohan’s probation-violation case be put on the “slow track” so she can pursue “certain activities which will benefit her.” Ones which will make her a ” productive and responsible contributor to society.” We just have to ask: Does he know who his client is? Heller says this multifaceted plan includes psychotherapy sessions, public-service efforts and a proposal to establish a foundation benefiting young people. “Lindsay has asked me to facilitate an in-person meeting… not to discuss the merits of her [legal defense], but rather for Lindsay to introduce herself,” he writes. She wishes to “help in the process of our determining what the best course would be for her future and to personally affirm her commitment and dedication to fix the problems.” It’s true, Lindsay Lohan is nothing if not dedicated. He promoses she “will gladly be participating in intensive psychotherapy” and will be “contributing her time to the production of public-service messages.” In addition, she’ll make “periodic visits to schools, hospitals and venues to provide inspirational talks, encouraging children to pursue positive goals and avoid bad habits.” Try not to roll on the floor laughing if you’re in public, okay people? LiLo’s “finally made a decision to turn her life around,” he says. Mmm hmm. Heller also says she’s “exploring the establishment of a Lindsay Lohan Foundation” whose goal is to “provide a nonprofit program to benefit young people.” As we reported earlier in the week, he wants charges against Lohan dropped in the car crash/lying to cops case because she wasn’t read her rights . Mmm hmm. Gonna have to do better than that, Mark, although the attorney is reportedly working on a new plea deal that would somehow keep her out of jail as well. That could be struck any moment, supposedly. Stay tuned.

Martin Tremblay, Youth Hockey Coach, Sentenced to Jail for Tripping Incident

Martin Tremblay, a youth hockey coach in British Columbia, has been sentenced to 15 days in prison for tripping a 13-year old opponent during his team’s post-game handshake exchange. The incident (below) took place in July, with one of the two victims who fell to the ace actually breaking his wrist upon impact. Youth Hockey Coach Trips Players In November, the 48-year old coach pleaded guilty to one count of assault, with his attorney saying Tremblay was not taking his anti-depressant medication when the tripping took place. “He’s rebuilding his life after this incident,” the coach’s lawyer told the assembled press after Tremblay was sentenced. “It’s horrible. He put in years and years coaching hockey, he put in years and years as a scout master. And that’s all over… because of one incident when he was off his antidepressants for three weeks.” But Judge Patrick Chen was clearly unmoved, explaining in court today that Tremblay had abused the trust of the public and that the action was akin to “a cowardly sucker punch.” He will serve his sentence over intermittent weekends.

Prince Harry Wants to Make Princess Diana Proud With AIDS Charity Work

Prince Harry spoke about his charity work Wednesday night in South Africa, and of his late mother, who instilled the passion in him for giving back. Princess Diana worked to help those with HIV/AIDS, and now Harry, 28, is doing the same in the tiny kingdom of Lesotho, where he’s visiting now. The younger Prince of Wales observed the work of the charity Sentebale that he set up with friend Prince Seeiso in memory of their late mothers. Harry said he hoped both mothers would be looking down with pride. “I hope she would be proud of what we are trying to achieve in her name,” Harry said of Queen Mamohato Bereng Seeiso. “I hope my mother will be proud, too.” “Maybe, just maybe, they are together somewhere up there, with blueprints and sketches already mapped out! I can only hope we put the swings in the right place.” “Talking about HIV and understanding it isn’t dangerous,” Harry said on a more serious note at the dinner. “Denying it, or not knowing about it, definitely is.” Harry, who made news earlier this week by being linked to socialite Cressida Bonas , sensed that their efforts were beginning to have an effect. “We are now seeing many of these children begin to fulfill their ambitions and realize dreams that once seemed completely impossible,” he said. “Our aim and hope is that we can influence a continued decline in the transmission of HIV and increase life expectancy, in a unique way for Lesotho.” “By addressing the psychological and social needs of the next generation, the future of this very small and beautiful country, and its magnificent people, could and should be very bright.” Whatever you think of the brother of Prince William and brother-in-law of Kate Middleton , it’s impossible to argue with those words – and his actions here.
