Actress Shannon Richardson was arrested today in connection to the ricin that was mailed to President Obama today in Texas. Richardson initially alerted the FBI that she thought her husband of two years may have been responsible for the ricin-laced letter. But when the FBI went to investigate, they concluded that it may in fact be Shannon who is responsible, and that she simply tried to have her husband take the fall. After days of investigation and interrogation, Richardson has been arrested in Mount Pleasant, TX. Richardson has appeared in bit roles on such television shows as The Walking Dead and Vampire Diaries . The actress initially claimed that she found suspicious internet searches on her husband’s computer, as well as a suspicious container. The letters were sent to President Obama, as well as Mayor Bloomberg of New York and the director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns
Who doesn’t like a nice looking a$$?! According to NyDailyNews: Mayor Bloomberg was more focused on buns than guns at a recent holiday party, a new magazine report claims. While Hizzoner has been all over the airways pushing gun control, a New York magazine reporter says the mayor was far more interested in ogling a woman’s behind than discussing the issue at a recent holiday party. Scribe Jonathan Van Meter says a friend who accompanied him to the party made a point of thanking the mayor for his work on gun control. “Without even acknowledging the comment, Bloomberg gestured toward a woman in a very tight floor-length gown standing nearby and said, ‘Look at the ass on her,’ ” Van Meter wrote. The line appeared in Van Meter’s lengthy profile of City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who is a frontrunner in the race to succeed Bloomberg in City Hall. Quinn is quoted in the article telling the magazine that Bloomberg has also offered sharp critiques of her own style, turning up his nose when she chooses flats over high heels or waits too long before touching up her red hair. She said of Bloomberg, “he’s got a potty mouth.” She also said that she has a “good relationship” with him. Nice. SMH. WENN
Do you think the NYC Marathon should be cancelled? NYC Marathon Cancelled After days of pressure from runners, politicians and the public to cancel the NYC Marathon in the wake of Hurricane Sandy , city officials and the event’s organizers decided Friday afternoon that the race would not be held Sunday. Via NY Times reports : Workers continued to construct the finish line of the New York City Marathon on Friday. The fallen crane from the One 57 building is seen in the background. Such a move would be historic — the marathon has been held every year since 1970, including the race in 2001 held two months after the 9/11 terrorist attacks — but seemed inevitable as opposition to the marathon swelled. Critics said that it was in poor taste to hold a foot race through the five boroughs while so many people in the area are still suffering from the storm’s damages, and that city services should focus on storm relief, not the marathon. Proponents of the marathon — notably Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Mary Wittenberg, director of the marathon — said the race would provide a needed morale boost, as well as an economic one. Among the many details that remain unclear are whether race would be postponed or canceled entirely and how popular the plan would be among the field of nearly 50,000 runners who were expected to compete in Sunday’s marathon, thousands of whom traveled to New York from other countries. Mayor Bloomberg and Wittenberg, who is chief executive of New York Road Runners, the organization that operates the marathon, repeatedly stood behind the plan, insisting it was best for the city. But many runners joined a chorus of politicians and area residents this week in speaking out against the plan to stage the marathon despite the widespread damage wrought by the storm Monday night. The public has spoken! Do you think it’s fair or foul that the NYC Marathon has been cancelled?
