Un-Break Her Heart Bank: Dirty Dog Ordered To Pay $50K For Bailing On His Bride-To-Be To Hook Up With His Sidepiece

This guy truly ain’t isht. A Georgia woman successfully sued her cheating ex-fiancé and baby daddy after he kicked her out of their crib and his two kids out when she caught him cheating. According to MailOnline reports : A Georgia man has been ordered to pay his former fiance $50,000 for ‘breach of promise’ and fraud after he left her for another woman. Melissa Cooper successfully sued her former lover Christopher Kelley after she gave up her job and moved in with him only to be thrown out when she discovered his relationship with another woman. Ms Cooper contended in her lawsuit that she quit her job to become a housewife for her former beau, their child and another child he had from a former relationship. She made that sacrifice under the premise she would be his wife. Cooper testified that she was devastated by Kelley’s fraud and breach of promise to marry and that she quit her job to raise the couple’s children in reliance on the promise,’ the ruling cited by CNS said. Her promiscuous partner made his bed by cheating on her multiple times and carrying on a relationship with another woman despite handing her a $10,000 engagement ring, she argued. In 2011, she discovered the secret affair, the second she had found during their relationship, and he demanded she move out of their home – with both children. The scorned would-be spouse then sued the cheating Mr Kelley for fraud and breach of promise to marry. How is this guy gonna kick her out AND make her take his kid by another woman? And it gets worse, the guy tried to save his azz in the lawsuit by claiming their relationship was meretricious, which is defined as “having the nature of prostitution!” In the state’s Appeals Court last month, Mr Kelley unsuccessfully tried to use a legal techincality to argue that the promise to marry was made in a relationship similar to prostitution, according to CNS. The state court of appeals ruled that the relationship did not involve the exchange of money for cohabitation and sexual favors, making the defense inapplicable. Mr Kelley also tried to claim he merely gave Ms Cooper the ring without proposing, but the court not only shot that down, it held it up as proof he never intended to marry her. I never initiated the concept of marriage with her, outside of giving her that ring,’ Mr Kelley testified, according to CNS. ‘I never said the words ‘will you marry me’ to her.’ ‘This testimony, when juxtaposed with Cooper’s testimony about the proposal and her acceptance, can be construed as an admission that Kelley never intended to marry Cooper,’ said the court decision. The latest ruling upheld a previous ruling being appealed by Mr Kelley, it includes damages awarded and attorney’s fees. Serves him right. He sounds like a scumbag. Facebook

Bruce Jenner: What Does He Know?! Will He Ruin Kris Jenner?!

This year’s Kardashian Christmas card , arguably the family’s most bizarre and definitely their most expensive yet, is telling for a number of reasons. Yes, Kim Kardashian is front and center and Kendall Jenner appears to be in the process of being groomed to take Kim’s place under Kris’ emperorship. But the most notable image of all? Bruce Jenner actually showup up for the shoot, but being shoved in the corner, locked in a glass tube and fighting to escape. Some photos really are worth a thousand words. It’s been an embarrassing year for the long-suffering patriarch, now a shell of his former self. And the humiliation he’s endured could cost Kris. “If Bruce Jenner opens up about all of the dirt he has on Kris, he could easily get a book advance of $15 million,” a publishing insider tells In Touch. Adds a Kardashian family friend, apparently worried: “All of her secrets would come out and she’d be completely destroyed. Bruce knows everything.” Yes … but what? And would he really tell all? Given that this is Bruce Jenner, probably not. He just likes to race cars, play golf, hang with his kids, and not be nagged. All in all, a super dude. You can criticize him for a lot of things, but being vindictive or vengeful is just not in his nature. That’s why he took Kris’ crap for so many years. Also, what would he possibly say that we don’t know, or that would damage her? That she staged / hawked the Kim Kardashian sex tape herself? Even that wouldn’t surprise anyone, or damage the brand. It’s like the Empire at this point, just without the obvious weakness in the Death Star. Or someone willing / interested in taking it on. Bruce is not going to use the Force for anything more than shaving a few strokes off his golf handicap. We’d pay to read his nonexistent tell-all, though. That’s for sure. If he even loses $15 million from his vast fortune, maybe he’ll consider it then …

Most Interesting Man In The World: 80-Year-Old Man Survives After Falling Off A Cliff While Fighting A Bear

Realest ninja alive ! Man Survives After Falling Off A Cliff While Fighting A Bear Via TIME reports: In the battle of man vs. bear, man has triumphed–well, sort of. The Guardian reports that Yusuf Alchagirov, an 80-year-old Russian shepherd, was minding his own business in a raspberry field when he was attacked by a large, hungry bear. Rather than let the predator get the best of him, Alchagirov counter-attacked. Despite his age, the octogenarian managed to knock the bear off-balance with a flurry of kicks and headbutts. Unfortunately, this beating failed to phase the furry attacker and the bear responded by knocking the shepherd off a nearby cliff. According to the Guardian, Alchagirov was hospitalised with “bruises, bite wounds and four broken ribs,” but avoided a potentially lethal mauling. Alchagirov may have survived his encounter, but experts generally advise against fighting back during a bear attack. If you are approached aggressively by a brown bear — a common species of bear in the region — Mother Nature Network suggests playing dead as the bear is ”likely trying to neutralize you as a threat.” However, Alchagirov is positive that it’s his aggressiveness that saved his life. ”I got off easy. It would have killed me if I’d chickened out,” said the shepherd. Newsfeed Continue reading

Julianne Hough: Slammed as "Moron," Undeserving Celebrity by Martha Plimpton

Martha Plimpton makes us crack up on Raising Hope . But the veteran actress saw nothing to laugh about this weekend after photos of Julianne Hough in blackface went viral. The Dancing with the Stars professional was merely dressed as a character from Orange is the New Black, but that didn’t matter to Plimpton. Julianne Hough: Sorry for Blackface! “It’s not hard,” Plimpton Tweeted. “White people: Do not wear blackface. Life will still be okay if you don’t ever, ever, ever wear blackface. OKAY? GREAT.” Following some online backlash (“Five hours later, it’s crazy racist trolls all over my timeline. Ugh.”), the occasional The Good Wife guest star elaborated on her opinion: “I don’t respond to every stupid thing every idiot does. Just the stuff I think matters. Blackface matters.” Plimpton then weighed in on the nature of fame and got pretty personal with Hough. “Can we use this moment additionally to also recognize that elevating morons to celebrity status does not help the world in any way? Ever?” she wrote. “Not every pretty person with two legs needs to be famous. People who DO things, okay. It just makes nonsense like this inevitable.” Ouch. Easy there, Martha. The actress did finally relent, acknowledging Hough’s apology for the outfit and concluding: “I do feel bad for calling @juliannehough a moron. That was mean. Ugh. I’m sorry. Glad she acknowledged her mistake. I should, too.” What do YOU think of Hough donning blackface for Halloween?   So funny! So wrong! So… who cares?!? View Poll »

12 Years a Slave Reviews: Hand it Best Picture Now?

The harrowing 12 Years a Slave has all the makings of a mesmerizing period drama for the ages. The only question is whether the execution meets the potential. The movie stars Chiwetel Ejiofor in the true story of Solomon Northup, a free man in 1800s N.Y. State, who was kidnapped and forced into slavery. 12 Years a Slave Trailer Toiling away on a plantation near New Orleans, he subsequently fought for his freedom with the help of a Canadian abolitionist, played by Brad Pitt. Also starring Michael Fassbender, the film is drawing major Oscar buzz as it opens this weekend. Does it live up to the high expectations it sets? Let’s see what critics’ 12 Years a Slave reviews are saying … “Sometimes you have to prepare yourself for the journey a film takes you on. So it is with 12 Years a Slave , a harrowing, unforgettable drama that doesn’t look away from the reality of slavery and, in so doing, helps us all fully, truly confront it.” – The New York Daily News “Perhaps the nature of the story is such that the film can’t help but be obvious and quite melodramatic at times, but it gets better as it goes along and builds to a moving finish.” – The Hollywood Reporter “The film has probably the finest cast of any film this year, and offers contemporary audiences a meticulous and haunting look at this terrible chapter in American history.” – USA Today “In large part, “12 Years a Slave” is an argument about American slavery that, in image after image, both reveals it as a system (signified in one scene by the sights and ominous, mechanical sounds of a boat water wheel) and demolishes its canards, myths and cherished symbols. There are no lovable masters here or cheerful slaves. There are also no messages, wagging fingers or final-act summations or sermons. [Director Steve] McQueen’s method is more effective and subversive because of its primarily old-fashioned, Hollywood-style engagement.” – The New York Times “It hurts to watch it. You won’t be able to tuck this powder keg in the corner of your mind and forget it. What we have here is a blistering, brilliant, straight-up classic.” – Rolling Stone “At it most profound, though, 12 Years a Slave is a captivating study in humanity at its most troubled and implacable, as Ejiofor masterfully portrays Northup’s fight to retain his dignity and identity within an ever-widening nightmare. As such, McQueen’s film deserves pride of place alongside Gravity , Captain Phillips and the upcoming All Is Lost as a breathtaking, ambitious essay on physical and existential isolation.” – The Washington Post

Amanda Bynes to Remain in Mental Health Facility Until 2015?

Amanda Bynes’ mental illness is severe enough that the troubled actress may end up staying in facility for a year and a half, according to a new report. Her lawyer was in a New York City court today asking for a postponement for up to 18 months while the star continues to receive psychiatric treatment. Everything we’ve heard up until now has indicated that she may be hospitalized for awhile, but this report is the first we’ve heard suggest 2015. Today’s hearing stems from Bynes’ arrest for allegedly throwing a bong out the window of her apartment and onto a Manhattan street this year. Her lawyer, Gerald Shargel, echoed the sentiments of the attorney in Bynes’ 2012 DUI case, who argued that Amanda is mentally unfit to stand trial . That lawyer, Rich Hutton, told a judge that his client “does not have the mental capacity” to understand the nature of the proceedings or the consequences. Assuming that’s true, and you have to believe it is based on what we know about Amanda Bynes ‘ actions in the past 18 months, it’s both amazing and sad. The judge transferred the matter to the mental health court. Amanda Bynes Faces Long-Term Hospitalization According to TMZ, it’s likely the bong-tossing case will likely end in a plea bargain and be dropped altogether, thus making her competency a moot point. The DUI case could be a different story, as the case against her is stronger and the alleged crime more serious. In any case, she’s not being tried anytime soon.

Jesus Take The Wheel: Father Kills Wife And Three Children Before Shooting Himself In Murder-Suicide

The epitome of a bad father . Father Kills Wife and Three Children Then Kills Himself If he wanted to take out himself then fine, but to kill three innocent children and his wife is just selfish. According to Mail Online A couple and their three children have been found dead inside their Texas home in what police now believe is an apparent murder-suicide. The father of the slain children, Israel Alvarez, was arrested on a domestic assault charge less than two weeks before his body and that of his wife Guadalupe Ronquillo-Ovalle and their three young children were discovered. Alvarez’s father was the one to call police on Sunday night and report the slaying inside the family’s home in Rice, a town about 40 miles south of Dallas. The five bodies were all found with gunshots in their abdomens, and police are still awaiting autopsies as they try to determine who fired the fatal shots. Navarro County Sheriff Elmer Tanner said a rifle was found at the home. Investigators were trying to determine when the shootings took place, Tanner said, saying the children, ages 4, 8 and 12, were in school Thursday afternoon but missed classes Friday. Given the nature of the crime scene and Alverez’s criminal history, police do not believe that the killer is on the loose. ‘We have not seen anything yet that makes us think we need to go outside this location,’ Sheriff Tanner said early into the investigation. Alvarez was arrested September 11 on a misdemeanor family violence charge for pushing Ronquillo-Ovalle and taking away her phone because he thought she was talking to another man, she told deputies. ‘I don’t care where you are. Any time there’s five losses of lives in one location, that’s shocking and traumatic. ‘It doesn’t make any difference where you are. It’s a horrible, horrible thing to see, witness or be a part of. ‘As far as looking for a suspect, what I’m saying at this point in time is that we are concentrati.ng our efforts on the investigation at the residence.’ So sad.
