Bruce Beresford-Redman, the former TV producer accused of killing his wife outside a resort in Cancun, has been ordered back to Quintana Roo, Mexico to stand trial on charges of aggravated homicide. The incident took place in November, when the body of Bruce’s wife, Monica, washed up in a sewer system near the hotel where she had been staying with her family. The cause of death was asphyxiation. Bruce’s attorneys claimed the police were too quick to charge their client and lacked any physical evidence. But United States prosecutors say fellow guests heard screams emanating from the couple’s room and that detectives subsequent discovered blood spatter in the bathroom and in other areas of the room. The ex- Survivor producer has been behind bars in Los Angeles, but will soon be moved to Mexico. He faces up to 30 years in prison if found guilty.
Nicki Minaj says she was struck in the face by a male acquaintance yesterday. But the artist does not want to press any charges. Here’s what went down: Minaj and an unidentified man were allegedly arguing poolside at the Palomar Hotel in Dallas. As the verbal sparring intensified, the man left for his hotel room, the singer told an employee to call the cops and then she followed the man back inside. Once there, she says he hit her in the lower lip. When the police arrived, Minaj explained what happened but said she did not want to press charges. She added that the opponent was not her boyfriend. Nicki faced a very different kind of tragedy earlier this month: her cousin was murdered . [Photo: WENN.com]
My name is Danielle, and my Bieber Experience was on June 30th, 2011. I knew Justin was in town in New York City during that whole week for the release of his perfume and many television appearances. I was determined to meet him during this week. But let me start off by saying that this isn’t my first attempt at trying to meet Justin. I’ve tried everything; hotels, TV appearances, everything. But on that one day, all my hard work had finally paid off. Now, back to what happened. My friends and I started off this week by going off to his hotel the day of his perfume launch. It was pouring the entire day, and I had met Ryan Good there for about the third time (1st time was the day after the “First Step 2 Forever” book signing, and the second was the day Justin was on the show, The Seven, MTV). It was an amazing day, even though I didn’t meet Justin. He was in such a hurry to get to Macy’s and he just left through the garage. But, I didn’t keep what happened that day and any of the previous failed attempts from stopping me. Now finally on the 30th, a few friends of mine had let me in on a little secret. A somewhat small group of us had gone to his hotel, hoping to meet him. I went into it, hoping for the best. Finally, the time I’d been hoping for had finally come. Justin and Selena had walked out of the entrance of their hotel, with Kenny right behind. My friend pulled my arm and dragged me to go get a picture with them. I could barely say a word, I’m lucky if I muttered the word, “Justin.” On that day, I had finally gotten my picture with Justin and met one of my idols. The rest of the day ran very smoothly, and I managed to see both Justin and Selena two more times. And to those who say that Justin doesn’t care about his fans, is wrong. Even though he was in a rush, he managed to stop, and the second time, you could tell he needed to be some place, but he said, to all that were there at the time, “Thanks you guys. I love you all.” I don’t think I could have been any happier that my dream had finally come true, and to top it all off, Selena was there with him. It makes me happy to see that they’re both happy, not only in front of the cameras, but behind them as well. I will support Jelena, no matter what anyone says. I just want to thank all of those people that were there with me that day because it is definitely one day I will NEVER forget. I feel extremely honored to be writing a MBE, because in all honesty, I never thought this day would come. Hard work, determination, and praying after two years of being a Belieber paid off. And if you’re reading this saying your time will never come, your time will come when you least expect it. -@BeliebinRush Go here to read the rest: My name is Danielle, and my Bieber Experience was on June 30th,…
Everybody has a past right?? Next time you get visit your local Starbucks, get a traffic ticket, go to vote for your local city council member, just think, this person might have gotten gang-banged by a cast of interracial men and women with handcuffs and sex toys. As a porn star your career can only last but so long, and often times the rigors of the job (alcohol, drugs, health risks) turn some performers away while they are “on top”. Below we bring you a list of some former skin-flick superstars that have retired and completely changed their lives in an entire different direction. Source
Plaxico Burress is fresh out of jail and ready to get back to work. In an interview with NFL Network’s NFL Total Access, the disgraced wide receiver talked about getting his life back on track and his surprise at his tough sentence. Check out some quotes below: On Being Hit With The Book: “Yes, I was (shocked at sentence). To be honest, I thought — at the most — I would probably do maybe four to six months based on a reckless endangerment charge or whatever it may be. But they just kinda pulled out all the whips and, you know, stacked everything on me. It was tough to fathom. It was like, ‘Why is this happening?’ At that time, it was just so many different emotions going through your mind, and it was unbelievable.” “I woke up that morning and had a nice breakfast in the hotel. And I went to court, and I was in jail like two hours later. And, like, everything that you had was just taken away from you just that quick. It was unexplainable.” Welcome to being Black in America Plaxico. You should’ve been prepared for the worst. Plax says visits and support from his wife, former NFL coach Tony Dungy, and former Giants teammates Brandon Jacobs, David Tyree, Osi Umenyiora, Gibril Wilson, Michael Strahan and Amani Toomer helped him through the “the lowest point in my life.” He’s already working to clean up his image by joining forces with the National Urban League and the Brady campaign educating people about the dangers of firearms. “If I can just stop one child from not taking a firearm out of the house or never put his hand on a gun, you know, I’ve served my purpose,” he said. Hmmm so we guess this means he won’t be walking around strapped any more. Too bad he had to literally shoot himself (and his career) in the leg to figure that out. Surprisingly enough, despite Plax’s two season hiatus, he also says he never thought his career was in jeopardy… We guess we can see why. The NFL deals with all kinds of problem children — as long as you don’t hurt dogs nobody is gonna get all crazy right? Speaking of which, Plax says he’s drawn a lot of inspiration from Michael Vick: “When I was going through everything legally, I did get a chance to talk to him a few times,” said Burress. “He was just telling me to stay strong, and everything will work itself out. And to just see him go out on a football field and do so many things that he’s been able to do to take his game to the next level as a quarterback, and pretty much going through a situation similar to mine with being away from the football game for two years — it gave me hope, joy. … I’ve been a big fan of him ever since high school.” Aw doesn’t that just warm your heart? For his family’s sake, Plax better hope he can have a Vick type comeback. Keep reading for Plax’s top picks for where he’d like to get his second chance as an NFL player…

On July 5, 2010 , Justin Bieber was coming to a city near by us. We wanted to go more than anything, so we begged our parents to let us go. They finally said yes, and we were SO excited! But when we tried to buy the tickets, they were sold out. We were super disappointed and upset about it. We still wanted to go out to the concert venue on the day of the show, even though we couldn’t get in, because just being in the same place as Justin is amazing. July 5th came quickly, and we got my mom to drive us. We got there early, and the Kiss FM booth had a contest to win the very last pair of tickets. We entered it, but we didn’t win. We went and stood behind the Verizon Theater on the other side of the fence where the tour buses were parked, and we talked to Sean Kingston, Legacy from New Boyz, Iyaz, Ryan Good, and some members of Legaci. Then Justin walked outside. He waved, smiled, and lifted up his shirt to show his abs to everyone. It became super crazy outside then! We stood there screaming, hoping he would come out again, and he did. He ran up to the fence, kicked the fence, got a bug in his eye, and went back in. We started crying because we thought it would be the last time we would see him in person, since we didn’t have tickets to the show. Then Scooter and Carin walked outside, and this is where the video begins. And for Scooter & Carin, thank you for what you did for us. You gave us the best night of our lives and we will never forget it. Love, Marissa and Cathryn @CATHnMarisLuvJB See original here: On July 5, 2010, Justin Bieber was coming to a city near by us….
My name is Jackie. My Bieber Experience happened in February 2011 when Justin was in Toronto for his Canadian Premiere of Never Say Never. It was totally unexpected and even 5 months after, I still get butterflies in my stomach thinking about it. This is the story of how I met Justin Bieber. The weekend before the premiere, KiSS 92.5, a popular radio station announced they were giving away passes to the screening. I spent day in and out listening to the radio, I was yelling at my brother to keep calling when the lines were busy. I was GLUED to the radio. Unfortunately I didn’t win the tickets but decided to do the contest which was to make a poster and the best winning posters would get free tickets. The morning of my friend and I HUSSLED to make these posters, we even included CHUCK NORRIS in one. How awesome is that? Anyways, we found out that Justin was staying in the Royal York Hotel and was holding a press conference in the hotel. One of my friends who was with us, knew her way really well around that hotel since she’s stayed there a couple of times. We decided to take our chances and perhaps get a chance to be in the same room as Justin. If we got kicked out by security, we got kicked out, whatever, we’d still try for those passes. Anyways, trying to look as unbieber fevered as possible (even though we had purple streaks on our faces and wore an excessive amount of purple) we ninja’ed ourselves in the hotel being unnoticed until one of the clerk came up to us. She was honestly the BEST. She’s like, “Ladies, I know why your here and I’m supposed to kick you out but go up the escalators and to your left and he will be there”. Trying not to freak out, we make ourselves look casual and high class and told ourselves if anything we are looking for the bathroom. There were a group of 5 girls already upstairs and obviously telling us that we would be kicked out if we didn’t leave, yadda yadda yadda, which I mean is totally understandable, which girl WOULDN’T want to have Justin to herself? We kinda just brushed the girls off and quietly sat in the hotel. His press conference was supposed to happen soon and since everyone was starting to set up, all of a sudden some security guards are heading towards us. We automatically thought we were getting kicked out but they were like, “We know why you are here, and we will let you stay ONLY if you don’t scream. We wont guarantee anything but at least you will be closer to him than any other girls here in Toronto”. You have NO idea how bad I wanted to scream but I knew that I couldn’t blow my chance. Justin was FASHIONABLY late but it was worth it. There were no more than 15 girls from the outside. The rest were workers. In total maybe 25 people. He talked to us, took pictures with us, he even signed my Vanity Fair magazine that I bought that day. Once he entered we still all waited there hoping he’d come out again and see us, but all of a sudden we hear Justin’s voice LITERALLY saying, “Wait, what about all my fans out there? Where are they? Are they staying out there? But there’s so much room here, I want them here, they are the reason I’m here, bring them in”. The public is RARELY invited to see a private press conference, and the one lady told us we were one of the luckiest girls alive. He got asked a bunch of awesome questions and then only 2 of his fans were allowed to ask him a question. The first one asked: Will you marry me? and the other one asked: Do you miss your hometown alot? and once the second girl finished, the annoucer was about to say Alright folks, were done for today UNTIL I raised my hand as fast as I could and Justin said, we have time for one more and picked ME. I asked him if he still plays hockey. I recorded ALL of this on my blackberry. When he answered my question, he didn’t look at the media, he looked right into my eyes. I then knew that he was all in it for his fans and that he charishes us SO much. Even though I didn’t win the passes to his screening, I TALKED to Justin. I looked him right in the eye. He is SUCH a down to earth guy, I would have NEVER expected it. And trust me ladies, he looks SO MUCH better in person than in photos. and he looks SEXY in photos. Justin, if you read this, I hope you’ll follow me sometime. I appreciate all you have done and I thank you for picking me out of all the girls to answer my question. You are my idol. Never Say Never. -@jaackiedzionek Read the rest here: My name is Jackie. My Bieber Experience happened in February …
Must be two sides! Lenny Kravitz demonstrated his stylistic versatility this weekend — donning a suited and booted look for a photoshoot, complete with umbrella and trench coat.
