Khadijah Muhammad, Waitress in Financial Trouble, Gets $1,075 Tip on $29 Bill

Khadijah Muhammad, a struggling waitress in Tennessee, received a shocking surprise at work recently from a couple whose table she’d been serving. When she saw that the family she’d just waited on left their check turned upside down on the table, she figured they had given her a poor tip … not this: She received $1,075 in gratuity for the $29.30 check, according to reports. Struggling Waitress Receives HUGE Tip Muhammad had recently returned from Ohio, where she’d rushed to be with her ailing mother who had just suffered a heart attack, reports say. Khadijah missed so much work she realized she’d need “a miracle” to pay her utility bills, she said later, and that miracle was that generous family. It’s unclear what inspired them, but what a nice story. In related news: A patron at a Nebraska Cracker Barrel recently left an 18-year-old waitress a tip of $6,000 so the young woman could remain in school. Last October, three guys from GiveBackFilms tipped a hardworking IHOP waitress $200 and filmed her reaction, which was understandbly priceless. A New Hampshire waitress who picked up a tab for furloughed military members during last year’s government shutdown was paid $10,000 by Ellen DeGeneres. The Tips For Jesus Instagram user is dropping major coin.

Caroline Lindqvist, Owen Wilson Welcome Love Child!

Owen Wilson has just become a father for the second time. Caroline Lindqvist has given birth to their son, the actor’s rep confirms to People Saturday. “I can confirm they had a baby boy on Thursday morning,” the rep says. Now that’s a joyous, elated statement if ever there were one. The baby is his first with Caroline Lindqvist , his one-time personal trainer. Owen Wilson is also dad to three-year-old Robert Ford, his son with ex-girlfriend Jade Duell . Sounds like he’s not in a relationship with Lindqvist either. “They aren’t living together, but Owen is involved [in the pregnancy]. He comes to doctor’s appointments and makes sure Caroline is doing well,” a source said. Well, that’s very good to hear at least. Congrats to the new parents!

Miley Cyrus Nude in W Magazine: See the Leaked, Eyebrow-Less Cover!

Miley Cyrus is featured on the newly-leaked cover of W magazine, and you’re never going to believe this, but girlfriend is not wearing any clothes on it! Gasp! The magazine proclaims that this is “Miley laid bare,” and it certainly is that, with the blonde-wigged singer covered only by a strategically placed pillow. The teaser also applies to her face, which is apparently eyebrow-free. No idea what’s up with that, or what in the heck “Instaglam” even means. Anyway, check out the publication’s new Miley Cyrus W cover below: The accompanying article by Ronan Farrow offers “no apologies.” Edgy!

Miley Cyrus to Justin Bieber: Pay Away Your Problems!

It has come down to this for Justin Bieber: He is now getting advice from Rob Ford and Miley Cyrus. First, the embattled, crack-smoking Mayor of Toronto, Ontario urged that we should give poor little Bieber a break because he’s only 19 , after all. Then, on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno yesterday, Miley was asked about her fellow artist and came up with an easy solution to Justin’s problems … Miley Cyrus Advises Justin Bieber “You’ve got a lot of money,” said Cyrus, who knows a thing or two about his situation. “Pay people to make sure you don’t get in trouble and party at your house!” The audience laughed… but Miley is totally right. Why is Bieber ever driving his own car? Hire a chauffeur and the guy can get as loaded as he wants to every night. Then again… Bieber is now accused of attacking a limousine driver in his native Canada. So we guess this idea wouldn’t solve all his legal issues. It may seem silly or ironic to some that the controversial singer is handing out advice to her peer, but she makes a good point in the above video: Every “crazy” thing she does is legal in California. Critics may take issue with this risque Miley Cyrus nude W cover, for instance. But when compared with vandalism and drunk driving and assault? Miles seems downright tame. Belieb it or not.

A Million Ways to Die in the West Trailer: Living Up to its Morbid Billing!

The red band trailer for Seth MacFarlane’s absurdist comedy-western A Million Ways to Die in the West has arrived, and it’s as zany as you think it is. The film, as advertised, show us plenty of ways to meet an early demise, be it getting pummeled by a block of ice, shot in a duel, impaled by a bull, OD’ing, etc. Check it out below, but be forewarned … it’s from Seth MacFarlane! Like the Shakira-Rihanna music video from earlier, it’s NSFW to put it mildly: A Million Ways to Die in the West Trailer MacFarlane directed, produced, co-wrote and stars in the film as a cowardly sheep farmer who backs out of a gunfight and loses his lady love (Amanda Seyfried). However, he falls for a new love interest (Charlize Theron) who helps him find courage but brings baggage in the form of an outlaw husband (Liam Neeson). For those who find MacFarlane’s comedy genius, A Million Ways to Die is sure to be a crowd pleaser. For those who don’t care for it … well, it is what it is! Follow the link to watch Family Guy online for all the classic episodes Seth has written over the years, or watch Ted online for his most recent film creation. That stuffed bear has one memorably foul mouth.

Anna Gordy Gaye Dies; Singer’s Ex-Wife, Motown Founder’s Sister Was 92

Anna Gordy Gaye, Marvin Gaye’s ex-wife and the older sister of Motown founder Berry Gordy, passed away this morning in Los Angeles. She was 92. She died inside her home from natural causes, according to reports. Family members discovered that Anna had passed away around 3 a.m. Friday. Anna and Marvin Gaye got married in 1964, and she was a huge influence on his career, co-writing two hits on his classic “What’s Going On” album. Marvin Gay also said his hit song “Pride and Joy” was inspired by his courtship of Anna back in the ’60s. The couple eventually divorced in 1977. She is survived by one child, son Marvin Gaye III. Despite a marriage that fizzled out and was at times turbulent, the two remained close after they split up, and Gaye’s death in 1984 devastated Anna. When Gaye was honored with induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Gordy attended and accepted Gaye’s induction. Anna Gordy made her last appearance with her famous brother Berry, who founded Motown Records, at a red carpet event where Berry was honored, in 2008.

Police Officer Investigated For Trying to Snap Justin Bieber Jailhouse Pic

A South Florida officer is under investigation after attempting to take a photo of Justin Bieber while the star was in custody on DUI and other charges. Miami Beach police Sgt. Bobby Hernandez confirmed Friday that a female officer is being investigated for possible conduct unbecoming an officer. Punishments can range from a verbal reprimand to termination. The name of the officer trying to sneak a Justin Bieber photo has not been revealed. Bieber was arrested January 23 during what cops describe as an illegal street drag race, though whether he was actually drug racing is debatable. In addition to driving under the influence, the troubled 19-year-old pop singer was charged with resisting arrest and having an invalid driver’s license. Bieber, who was in a car with Chantel Jeffries , pleaded not guilty to all charges. Police say the officer attempted to photograph him while he was in a temporary holding cell, and a higher-ranking officer intervened to stop the attempt. His mug shots, meanwhile, were released by police, and quickly went viral: 37 Scandalous Celebrity Mug Shots Open Slideshow 1.

Seinfeld Reunion: Will It Finally Happen?

Break out the cereal and get in line for some soup… a Seinfeld reunion might actually be taken place! Earlier this week, Jerry Seinfeld and Jason Alexander were spotted at Tom’s Restaurant, the setting of many meals and jokes throughout the storied history of this sitcom. Were they filming a commercial An episode of Jerry’s Web series? “It’s neither, but it is not… not those things either. It’s a secret project,” Jerry mysteriously said today during an interview with WFAN in New York. What could it be? Will we have a new set of Seinfeld quotes to celebrate? The comedian would only tease the following: Other cast members are involved in the project. Shooting is complete. It is over 60 seconds in length. Alexander is portraying George Constanza; Jerry is NOT playing himself. Larry David is involved, but not in front of the camera. It will air “very, very soon.” No filming took place in Jerry’s apartment. It was likely a one-time deal. In whatever form this takes, do you want to see a Seinfeld reunion?   Eh, sure OF COURSE! Absolutely! YES! View Poll »

Amanda Knox Verdict: GUILTY of Murder, Sentenced to 28 Years

An Italian court has returned a verdict in the third trial of Amanda Knox and her former boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, in the 2007 death of Meredeth Kercher: Knox was found guilty of the crime for the second time in the notorious case. Amanda was sentenced to 28 years and six months in jail, though it’s rather unclear if she’ll ever serve even a day of that. More on that in a second. The first two trials produced flip-flop verdicts of guilty then innocent for Knox and Sollecito, who were acquitted on appeal in 2011 after four years in custody. An appeals court found that important evidence regarding blood and DNA had been handled improperly by investigators, leading to the released of the duo. But Italy’s supreme court, called the Court of Cassation, dismissed that ruling based on what it said was key evidence that had been omitted during the appeal. A new trial, at which Amanda Knox did not appear, began in 2013. The three-day deliberations were closely watched as jurors were tasked with either confirming or overturn the initial guilty verdict “as if the acquittal never happened.” Jurors deliberated into the night before delivering the guilty verdict that comes as a blow to Knox and Sollecito, who can lodge a further appeal with the Supreme Court. So what comes next for the 26-year-old media sensation? Amanda Knox Photos: Through the Years Open Slideshow 1. Amanda Knox Photograph What a beautiful Amanda Knox photograph! View As List 1.

Amanda Knox on Good Morning America Amanda Knox on Good Morning America in 2013. She’s speaking out for the first time. 18. Amanda Knox Lifetime Movie Trailer The trailer for Amanda Knox: Trial in Italy. Hayden Panettiere stars in the Lifetime film. Knox’s situation is complicated by her absence. Experts say it is unlikely Italy will seek extradition until a verdict is finalized, a process that can take a year. She told Italian state TV in an interview earlier this month that she would wait for the verdict at her mother’s house in Washington “with my heart in my throat.” Knox’s absence does not formally hurt her case since she had been freed by a court and defendants in Italy are not required to appear at their trials. However, judge Alessandro Nencini reacted sternly to her emailed statement, noting that defendants have a right to be heard if they appear in person. Some experts say it is unlikely Knox will return to Italy. Ever. Because U.S. law dictates that a person cannot be tried twice on the same charge, she is likely to fight extradition on those grounds if Italy seeks it. Sollecito, meanwhile, did appear at the trial and faces arrest.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Faces Death Penalty if Convicted By U.S., Attorney General Announces

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will face the death penalty for his role in the Boston Marathon bombing if the U.S. has its way, Attorney General Eric Holder saod today. He was arrested for the blasts last April that killed three people, injured more than 260 others, and sent a wave of shock and fear through Massachusetts. Prosecutors notified a federal judge in Boston today of the decision. Death Penalty For Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Sought “After consideration of the relevant facts, the applicable regulations and the submissions made by the defendant’s counsel,” Holder said in a statement . “I have determined that the United States will seek the death penalty in this matter. The nature of the conduct at issue and the resultant harm compel this decision.” With the authorization, the U.S. attorney’s office can move forward in requesting a trial date. The death penalty can also now be a factor in any plea negotiations. Tsarnaev, 20, faces 30 federal charges for setting off the April 15 bombs that plunged the region into terror for five days, until his arrest in Watertown, Mass. His older brother and alleged accomplice, Tamerlan, 26, was killed in a firefight with police the night before Dzhokhar was caught in a massive manhunt . Krystle Campbell, 29, Lingzi Lu, 23, and Martin Richard, 8, were killed at the site of the marathon bombing; incredibly, the toll was not much higher. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev also faces state charges in the fatal shooting of MIT Police Officer Sean Collier, who authorities say he murdered as he tried to flee the area. Prosecutors said  they would seek the death penalty for 16 of the charges Tsarnaev faces, and they would prove the following factors, as required by law: That the killings and injuries were intentional That Tsarnaev willingly took part in the acts that resulted in death That he knew they could end in death The prosecutors also cited other factors that would allow for the death penalty: That death occurred during the commission of another crime That the crime itself created a grave risk of death That there was planning involved That there were multiple killings and vulnerable victims That there was a “heinous, cruel and depraved manner of committing the offense” Time will tell what sentence he actually receives, and how the trial process will play out, but at least on paper, he certainly checks all the boxes.
