Jared Fogle Prison Attacker: The Pedophile Deserved It!

Approximately one year after he beat Jared Fogle nearly to death, the man responsible for bludgeoning this disgraced former Subway spokesman has finally spoken out. In the following letter, he explains why Fogle deserved what happened to him. First, however, a refresher: In November of 2015, Fogle was sentenced to 15 years behind bars after an investigation determined that he often partook in some truly reprehensible behavior. According to authorities, Fogle texted over a dozen victims (all of them minors), offering to pay them money for various sex acts, often receiving illicit photos from several of the young girls.   A raid of his home turned up child pornography on Fogle’s computer, while court documents stated he had traveled between Indiana and New York City several times between 2010 and 2013 to pay for sex with teenage girls. Like we said: truly reprehensible behavior. With such strong evidence against him, Fogle didn’t even go to trial. He pleaded guilty in late 2015, hoping to reach a deal with prosecutors that would result in only five years in jail. But a judge saw things differently. Hence the 15-year punishment. Fast forward to January of last year and reports that Fogle was savagely beaten in the prison yard. According to a TMZ report in March, James Nigg – a 60-year-old serving numerous year on a weapons charge – reportedly pushed Fogle while outside with him and then repeatedly punched him in the face. Shortly after news of this assault went viral, family members of Nigg’s said they were not surprised by the confrontation. Nigg had reportedly been complaining about the presence of child molesters in the minimum security prison for awhile… and he simply could not handle such a famous one being in his presence. Now, in a letter obtained by TMZ, Nigg has basically confirmed this assertion. In the message, Nigg says “Jared is [a] hero” to other pedophiles in prison, writing in disgust: “You would not believe how arrogant Jared was. He hired bodyguards and the other child molesters looked at him as if he was a god.” This perception was altered, briefly at least, when Nigg left Fogle with a bloody nose, swollen face and scratches on his neck early last year. Following his pummeling of Fogle, Nigg was moved to an Oklahoma prison. He says he’s since “lost good times [that is, time off his sentence] and spent many months in the hole, plus the loss of commissary and email” due to the actions he took against Fogle. Still, “I have no regrets,” Nigg concludes.

So we’ll just stop writing words now in that case.

El Chapo From Prison: Hey, Am I Still Famous?

Eventually, you’ll be familiar with El Chapo from the inevitable Netflix series based on his exploits, but in case you can’t wait that long, here’s a run-down: Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was digging tunnels in Mexico long before the Donald hatched his cartoon supervillain plan to build a border wall. The infamous drug lord escaped from prison twice  before being recaptured and extradited to the United States. As if that’s not Hollywood enough, it was actor Sean Penn who inadvertently led police to El Chapo after interviewing the head of the Sinaloa Cartel for a piece in Rolling Stone. These days, Guzman’s life is considerably less glamorous. The 62-year-old is currently being held in solitary confinement in New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Complex. Sources say Guzman is confined to a “closet-sized” cell 23 hours a day, five days a week. He’s permitted to leave the cell for one hour each weekday so that he can work out on a treadmill or stationary bike to prevent his muscles from atrophying. Chapo’s lawyers are in court this week arguing that the treatment is inhumane, and petitioning for their client to be relocated to the facility’s general population wing. It’s a tough sell for a couple of reasons: 1. Chapo is a two-time escapee, and if prison officials are no doubt concerned that he’ll try again. 2. Chapo is an A-list celebrity in the crime world, a fact that could make him an esay target for inmates with something to prove. Interestingly, insiders tell TMZ that Guzman isn’t all that concerned with the upcoming trial that will likely land him behind bars for the rest of his life. Instead, he’s reportedly more focused on his celebrity status . “He regularly asks his lawyers, ‘What are they saying about me?’ He’s very concerned about his image,” says a source inside the prison. Of course, he needn’t worry too much, as a story like his probably won’t go too much longer without being adapted for the screen. View Slideshow: 19 Celebrities Who May Have Killed People It’s a thorny issue, because on one hand, El Chapo is a murderous gangster who’s devastated whole communities, and thus, probably doesn’t deserve to be celebrated. But on the other hand, the guy had to spend two days hanging out with Sean Penn. So when you think about it, he’s really already suffered enough.

Rob Kardashian Net Worth: Has Dream’s Dad Blown All His Cash?!

For a while there, it looked like Rob Kardashian was on the verge of a comeback. After months spent in hiding, indulging in substance abuse and compulsive overeating, Rob executed an impressive turnaround, landing himself a fiancee, a daughter, and a reality show in the process. With the help of Blac Chyna Rob lost weight , rebuilt his business, and re-entered society. Unfortunately, lasting change takes time, and looking back, we should’ve known Rob’s redemption would be short-lived, if only because it happened so quickly. These days, Rob and Blac have broken up , and they’re said to be locked in an ugly custody battle over 4-month-old Dream Kardashian. Not surprisingly, their reality series, Rob & Chyna has been canceled , because it’s hard to film a show about two people who refuse to be in the same room together. Perhaps most troublingly, Rob’s mother froze his checking accounts after being notified that he had been spending money at an alarming rate. Some sources close to the family took his excessive spending as a sign that Rob is back on drugs. Others believe he’s merely funneling cash to Blac without his mother’s knowledge. Either way, the situation seems to have raised an important question among fans: Just how much money is Rob worth these days, anyway? At the end of 2016, Rob’s net worth was estimated at around $6 million. Of course, at the time, he had recently wrapped filming on the first (and only) season of Rob & Chyna, and his Arthur George collection of novelty socks was once again selling after years of lying dormant. (For a long time the Rob’s business’ website was completely blank.) Unfortunately, as far as future income goes, Rob’s prospects are looking pretty bleak. Obviously his show is a thing of the past, sock sales are rumored to have slumped, and insiders say he’s back on the outs with several members of his family and thus, won’t be participating in much Keeping Up With the Kardashians Season 13. (Yes, KUWTK has really been on the air that long.) All of this comes at a time when Rob will likely soon be shelling out major bucks for child support. Blac Chyna is well-off, but her net worth is estimated to be less than half of Rob’s, and her career path is looking a treacherous, as well. Sounds like now would be a good time for Rob to make nice with his more cash-savvy mother and sisters.

Angelina Jolie: Has She Found a New Man?!?

According to a recent report, Angelina Jolie has always been very jealous of Amal Clooney . According to an even more recent report, however, Angelina Jolie is giving Brad Pitt an especially hurtful reason to be very jealous at the moment. Because she’s allegedly moved on to another man. Yes, already. The actress, of course, filed for divorce from the actor on September 19, four days after some kind of altercation between Pitt and 15-year old son Maddox on board a private airplane. Jolie cited “irreconcilable differences” in her legal papers, with rumors ever since stating that she and Pitt have disagreed for a long time over the best way to raise their six children. Simply put, sources have said, Jolie doesn’t think Pitt is a good father. But does she think a new mystery boyfriend is a good match for her and her family, mere months after ending her marriage to Pitt? Earlier this month, the 41-year-old superstar took her kids – Maddox, 15; Pax; 13; Zahara,;12; Shiloh; 10; and 8-year-old twins, Knox and Vivienne – to Cambodia. According to Radar Online sources, Jolie was spotted in that country with an unidentified “hunk,” someone who was “caught sneaking out of her hotel at one point.” Moreover, this man has already met all of the famous ex-couple’s children and has been “spoiling the kids with gifts,” Radar writes. “Brad will hit the roof when he finds out about this!” a source tells the website, adding: “He’s barely allowed to speak to his own children, then Angelina takes them halfway around the world, and now she’s letting some guy buy them trinkets?” It’s true, at least part of that statement: For several weeks after Jolie filed to divorce Pitt, an investigation was conducted to determine whether or not Pitt physically assaulted Maddox during the aforementioned plane confrontation. The FBI even got involved. In the end, however, there was not sufficient evidence for charges to be brought against Pitt, who has since been granted time to hang out with his kids. He and Jolie remain in a legal dispute over how they will handle custody once the divorce is finalized, however. View Slideshow: 13 Reasons Angelina Jolie is the Antichrist “We are a family and we will always be a family, and we will get through this time and hopefully be a stronger family for it,” Jolie told the BBC late last month in her first interview since the Split Heard ‘Round the World. She went on to say that Pitt is a wonderful father . Jolie had no comment about any replacement for Pitt in her bed or in the lives of her children, though. We don’t expect her to speak out on this rumor any time soon, either. “Angelina is desperate to put on a united front and send a message to the world her family doesn’t need Brad!” the Radar insider claims. It really does remain incredible that things have come to this, don’t you agree? Did you ever envision Pitt and Jolie breaking up? Let alone breaking up in such a controversial fashion? We don’t pretend to know who did what in this relationship. We’d rather not choose a side when so much is up in the air. All we can say is that we hope Jolie and Pitt overlook whatever personal animosity or bitterness may exist between them, for one very good reason. Actually, for six very good reasons: their children. The well-being of these kids is all that should matter at this moment, and in all future moments, and we really hope the stars arrive at an amicable divorce agreement with this in mind.

What Time Is It? Daylight Saving Time 2017 Arrives, Rocks America to its Core

In an absolutely stunning and unprecedented turn of events, Daylight Saving Time 2017 shook the nation to its core Sunday morning. As a result, rattled citizens across this great country are taking to their computers, phones and friends to ask the all-important question: “What Time Is It?” Seriously. This is an actual thing going on. The trending topics on Google at this moment on the 12th day of March include “Daylight Savings Time,” “What Time is It?” and “Local Time.” It’s chaos out there in America, people. Earlier this morning, for the first time since 2016, U.S. residents (Arizona, Hawaii and P.R. excluded … lucky) were hit with a jarring reality: The need to set their clocks forward. By one hour. No more, no less. Jaws? Hitting the ground. Fear not, though. Breathe. We’ve got this, people. We got it. If we band together, we can not only come to grips with this, but thrive. THG has provided a helpful  Daylight Saving Time 2017  visual aid to assist you and keep you on an even emotional keel today. See above. You’re welcome. While the time change costs us an hour of sleep, evenings will be noticeably brighter, a reminder that spring is just around the corner. The sun will set around 7 p.m. or later in most of the U.S., meaning no more commuting home in the dark and more hours to be outside. Cities on the western edge of time zones will enjoy the latest sunsets, as they always do, but must also endure the darkest mornings. One of the biggest arguments against Daylight Saving Time is the reduction in light in the mornings, especially with kids going to school. Of course, the Earth is still moving in the right direction, and the sun will continue to rise earlier and earlier for the next three months. The arrival of spring means that daylight is now increasing at its most rapid pace of the year, so the mornings won’t be dark for long. By mid-April, sunrise will have “caught up” to where it was before DST, so you’ll have that extra hour of evening light and then some. If you don’t like it? Well, you’re probably giving this way too much thought, but we have some reassuring news for you just the same. Just wait 7.75 months and ride this thing on out. Come November 5, you can go back to Standard Time and pretend this never happened. See below:

Saturday Night Live: Alec Baldwin Does Trump in the Alien Apocalypse!

Let's be real with ourselves for a minute: if anyone could bring on an actual apocalypse, like an honest to goodness, for real apocalypse, it would be Donald Trump, right? His amount of power plus his amount of ignorance … it's just not that hard to imagine. And, according to this glorious skit Saturday Night Live aired last night, it could happen sooner than we think. Yes, Alec Baldwin brought his half-hilarious, half-terrifying Trump impression back to SNL last night, and instead of poking fun at something ridiculous the president has already done, they looked to the future. One year into the future, specifically, which is when they predict “aliens from the planet Zorblatt 9” will land on earth and kill us all. An Army troop is gathered, determined to save the human race from the aliens, who are quickly destroying the world. But before they begin their mission, Trump has some words to share. He rambles for a moment — so true to real life, right? — and someone asks him what they should do. Trump's response? “We are going to bring coal back.” Is it funny or tragic? Then again, isn't that always the question? Baldwin's Trump throws in an Arnold Schwarzenegger jab , a reference to “fake news,” and he even manages to work in a racist joke! Check out the possible future of our country in the video below:

Scarlett Johansson Channels Ivanka Trump on SNL

Scarlett Johansson isn't having the greatest time in life right now — she's just filed for divorce from her husband , Romain Dauriac, and it looks like there's going to be quite the custody battle for their three-year-old daughter. But even though Scarlett may be going through an inner struggle, she's still a professional. And right now, that means that she was still able to absolutely kill it as the host for Saturday Night Live last night. For one of her skits, she did a little perfume ad. But not only that … she did a perfume ad as Ivanka Trump. “Every man knows her name,” the voiceover for the ad begins. “Every woman knows her face. When she walks into a room, all eyes are on her.” “She's Ivanka.” Cue Scarlett's pouty-lipped, vacant-eyed impression of Ivanka. And it only gets better from there. The perfume, as it turns out, is called Complicit. Amazing, right? “A feminist,” the voiceover continues. “An advocate. A champion for women, like … huh?” “She's loyal, devoted, but probably should have bounced after the whole Access Hollywood bus thing . Oh well.” “Complicit,” the ad finishes. “The fragrance for the woman who could stop all of this, but won't.” Let Scarlett make you cry with tears of laughter (and just regular tears) in the video below:

Game of Thrones Season 7: Premiere Date Announced!

Summer is coming. Doesn’t exactly have the same ring to it, does it? But it remains true, and with summer will come the return of the most popular show on television. Via a Facebook Live “event” that was really just a block of ice slowly melting away to reveal a date, HBO announced today that Game of Thrones Season 7 will premiere on July 16, 2017 . Mark your calendars. Set your DVR. And plan all vacations accordingly. The network has also unveiled the first official poster for this beloved series, which will debut in July for the first time in show history. The teaser image – first seen this week at the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas – evokes a pair of the the iconic fantasy series’ favorite themes: Fire (typically represented by Daenerys and her “children,” of course). Ice (most commonly associated with northern son Jon Snow). What might this mean? You’re guess is as good as ours. But it’s safe to assume that Dany and Jon will finally meet this season. What else do we know at this time about Game of Thrones Season 7? According to a script that allegedly leaked , fans can look forward to the following storylines. (Consider yourselves SPOILER WARNED.) Jon Snow and Daenerys spend a great deal of the season together at Dragonstone. Arya and Sansa will be reunited, with the former essentially acting as a killing machine at this point. Under orders from Sana, Arya will kill Littlefinger. Cersei will be pregnant (no word yet on the identity of the father) and will form an alliance with Euron Greyjoy to do battle against Jon and Dany. Sam, Gilly and Bran will piece together that Jon Snow the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. Jon will head north of the Wall to capture a wight and bring it back as evidence of the very dangerous threat that exists there. Oh, and The Night’s King will actually possesses Dany’s dragon Viserion and turn him into an ice dragon that destroys the fall. WHOA! This all should be taken with a grain of salt the size of Tyrion’s ego, of course. But it all sounds rather epic. No official announcement has been made, meanwhile, but Game of Thrones is expected to come to an end after Season 8. We have no idea what we’ll do on Sunday nights after that. We really don’t want to think about it. View Slideshow: Game of Thrones Season 7: How Many Episodes Are Left? What’s Jon Snow’s Real Name? And Other Questions
