Amanda Bynes isn’t happy with a new set of paparazzi pics, and said on Twitter that she will sue anyone who dares to publish the “morphed” image. “OH MY GOD! THAT’S NOT ME!” wrote the image-obsessed 27-year-old. “They morphed my face onto someone with a different face shape!” “I’m suing any site/magazine that shares that image!” It’s not clear which Amanda Bynes photos she’s talking about, but in the interest of making her happy/not getting sued, we have used one of her Twitpics here. A sexy one, we might add! Threatening legal action isn’t new for Bynes, who recently threatened to sue In Touch for “morphing photos of my face onto someone’s body to ruin my life!” In Touch denied altering the images, but no matter. She also encouraged celebrity gossip magazines to reach out to her directly … or pay the price. “You CAN NOT talk about someone you don’t know!” she tweeted. “All Magazines: Contact Me Personally! I’m sick of your insanity!” Amanda’s reasoning is simple, if you stop and think about it: “You can’t state something about me by hearing it through someone I don’t know/met once and never spoke to again who now claims to still know me enough to check MY brain and search inside it and find a developed at 27 mental illness without getting a huge lawsuit at your office.” Noted.
A 13-year-old New Orleans-area boy is charged with second-degree murder in his five-year-old sister’s death – using moves he learned from WWE wrestling. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office confirmed the death in a news release. “The 13-year-old reported he started to wrestle with the victim and practiced WWE-style wrestling moves on the 5-year-old,” Col. John Fortunato said. Those moves allegedly included slamming the girl on a bed , punching her in the stomach, jumping on her and striking her with his elbow, repeatedly. A coroner’s investigation later found that the young girl died of multiple injuries, including broken ribs, lacerations of the liver and internal bleeding. In a statement released the same day, WWE offered condolences to the victim’s family but warned against attributing the death to its industry: “Authorities have already charged the accused with second-degree murder and determined that this was not an accidental death due to a wrestling move.” WWE continued, “As in similar cases, criminal intent to harm and a lack of parental supervision have been the factors resulting in a tragic death.” The girl was identified as Viloude Louis, of Terrytown, La., and the boy had been left to babysit the girl by his stepmother when the alleged beating occurred. Afterward, the girl later complained of a stomach ache. When she stopped breathing, the boy called 911. Emergency responders could not revive her. The boy was taken to a juvenile facility and booked on second-degree murder charges after he was interviewed by homicide Detective Matt Vasquez. The detective said the boy told him that he knew the wrestling moves on TV were fake, but he was smiling and appeared to enjoy talking about them. “The 13-year-old continued by saying the victim complained that she was hurting, but he continued to slam, punch and elbow her for an additional 2-3 minutes.” He only stopped the attack “when his mother called him on the phone to check on he and the victim,” sheriff’s officials said in the news release.
I don’t usually do many posts on Amy Adams , mostly because I think she’s kind of boring and I’m always mixing her up with the redhead from The Office . But obviously I had her way wrong, because these pictures of Amy sightseeing in Italy are anything but boring. Maybe she’s just getting into the European way of life, but I hope Amy brings this bra-less act back home with her. I might have to start following her career more closely just in case. And remembering her name. Photos: WENN.com
These shootings are getting crazier and crazier. Four People Killed Inside Office Building According to The NY Daily News Four people have been killed inside of an office building in St. Louis in what appears to be a murder-suicide, officials said Wednesday. Two men and two women were shot dead around 1:40 p.m. Wednesday afternoon in the Cherokee Place Business Incubator, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Police Capt. Michael Sack said that the man had gotten in an argument that quickly escalated and said he drew out a semi-automatic weapon, shooting two woman and another man before then shooting himself. The victims, whose identities are being withheld pending notification of next-of-kin were in their 40s and 50s, Sacks said. The St. Louis police captain said that it was unclear if the shooting was premeditated. “We don’t know if this was a thing that carried over into today or was initiated today,” he said. The Cherokee Place Business Incubator is a decade-old project to allow small businesses to flourish in the neighborhood. But as bigger retailers fled to the suburbs, the area struggled. At least a dozen police officers rushed to the complex between Ohio and Iowa Avenues, sealing off the area. Witnesses told FOX2now that three people were taken from the office in handcuffs, but were later released, as police discovered them to be witnesses. Police have said that Wednesday’s violent attack was targeted, though they have not yet released the business or businesses where the shootings took place. According to public records, the converted movie theater holds several small businesses, including a day-care facility and a bank. The shooting occurred between the Marine Villa and Soulard neighborhoods of the city, south of downtown St. Louis. A call to the St. Louis Police Department was not immediately returned. Murder-suicides are so selfish. If you want to kill yourself cool, but to take another person out is phucked up.
What a nightmare . Man Left Without Nose After Botched Plastic Surgery According to Fox 23 A New York man living in Tulsa went to get a nose job with a well-established Tulsa plastic surgeon and five years later does not have a nose. Vishal Thakkar got a divorce and in 2006 he admittedly made a vain decision. “I decided to do something selfish,” said Thakkar, sitting in his attorney’s office in South Tulsa. Dr. Angelo Cuzalina is known across Green County for his plastic surgery. The Oklahoma Medical Board does not show any complaints in his history. He is listed as president of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery. “I had the first surgery and suffered some breathing problems, nothing too bad, but it made it hard to exercise and sleep,” said Thakkar. He went back, again and again. Between 2006 and 2007 he had eight surgeries. He then left Tulsa until 2011 and came back for more surgeries. He had several infections. Finally, during a surgery, Thakkar says Cuzalina cut off his nose. “He told me that there was an infection in there and since I was on the operating table and unconscious he had to make the decision,” said Thakkar. Before another surgery, Thakkar told FOX23 News he told Cuzalina a nurse and the doctor’s office manager, to not take anything from his ears, like cartilage for the surgery he was about to have. “I woke up with pain behind my ear and I said to the nurses, what part of ‘Under no circumstances do not touch my ears, do you not understand?’” said Thakkar. Later, Thakkar said, Cuzalina emailed him. “In the email he apologized,” he said. During another surgery, Thakkar said the doctor ran out of ear cartilage. “So he cut into my rib cage for cartilage, I didn’t know it then, but I do not believe he is licensed for that kind of surgery!” “By the time I am able to breathe without pain and have a human-looking nose, I will have had 30 surgeries on my face thanks to Angelo Cuzalina.” He has spoken to other plastic surgeons. “There is no way I am going to live like this. It is worse than being dead. Other surgeons told me that, Vishal, your case is so bad it is unheard of, you must be treated by someone at the top of this field,” said Thakkar. On August 31st, 2012 Cuzalina sent Thakkar a form stating he will no longer work on him, “… you are considered medically unstable. Because of your ongoing threats and harassment against my staff, my practice, and me personally…” the statement read. It was around this time Thakkar told FOX23 News, he learned Cuzalina was recording their audio and video without letting Thakkar know that was happening during his visits to the office. “In December of 2011, in the medical record he (Dr. Cuzalina) wrote I am suicidal, but at the same time the medication he is giving me it could easily kill a couple human beings,” said Thakkar. “I have more than 3,000 injections, pain pills and stuff so my liver is pretty much fried,” said Thakkar. Could you imagine living without a nose? At least you wouldn’t get too big for your britches and start “smelling yourself.”
I’m surprised I haven’t yet done a post on Australian hip hop recording artist Iggy Azalea , because as you can see girl is pretty cute and has a serious big booty. Also her video “Work” has the best lap dance scene in a music video ever. Anyway, make sure to check it out but be warned, if you’re at your office, you’ll have an extremely hard time standing up afterwards. Enjoy.
Tonight’s Mad Men was another episode mostly about the differences between Pete and Don. This season has really been hitting those differences hard on the noggin, so something is bound to happen to resolve that tension. ” A Tale of Two Cities ” is played out over a backdrop of the Chicago riots at the 1968 Democratic Convention. Mad Men has been employing this tactic – using real-life political unrest to highlight the uncertainty and turbulence in the characters’ lives – very heavily all season. So what exactly is the personal uncertainty and turbulence? Well, it’s plentiful. While Don packs up to head to California with Roger and Harry, the unwavering instability of the new company continues. Joan scores an accidental meeting with a man at Avon, Ginsberg lashes out against Jim Cutler, and Bob continues his creepy quest for relevance. While she thinks she was on a date, Joan ends up being in a position to pitch the company to a potential client. Hoping to land Avon herself, she is reluctant to go to Ted with the news. When Peggy insists she do just that, Ted hands the account over to Pete. The one man most critical of Joan’s position with the company, and how she got there. Joan ends up going behind Pete’s back to hold the meeting without him. Just one more notch on the Screw Pete Belt. Of course this enrages Pete, who takes it to Ted. While Ted seems concerned about the situation, Pete’s insistence that if people like Joan are going to start handling meetings like Avon, well then, Pete’s job will become obsolete, ends up being accidentally hilarious. Peggy helps Joan out by faking a phone call from Avon, and Ted dismisses the issue. Poor Pete. He tries so hard, but he is so absolutely doomed. Meanwhile, Don’s lack of effort or concern is on full display in the Golden State. The trio’s meeting with Sunkist does not go well, but they don’t seem to mind. They hit a party “in the Hills” and forget the whole thing. While there, Don gets sucked into smoking hash by a pretty young lady (anything for a pretty young lady), causing hallucinations of Megan, who gives him permission to cheat, and tells him she quit her job, and that she’s pregnant. Looks like Donny Boy resents Megan’s miscarriage. Don wakes up form the hallucination being resuscitated by Roger, after having fallen into the pool. The whole trip ends up being just another careless playdate for Don and Roger. They arrive back to the office to a midst a giant sea change. Ginsburg more or less lost the Manischwitz account, Chevy is moving forward with SCDPCGC, and Cutler has put Bob on the account, and Pete is livid about Joan’s insubordination. But Don simply couldn’t care less. He simply fixes himself a drink. Don is so unencumbered by concern for his job or the company that when Ted and Cutler suggest a name for the Company that excludes him (along with themselves and Pete), he instantly says fine. Welcome to Sterling Cooper & Partners. This scene so perfectly spells out how the ship goes down. Don will be to drunk to even notice. He’ll drift slowly into his watery grave. Pete will be panicking. He’ll be kicking and screaming and treading water for days, until a shark bites his legs off and he bleeds out. Of course, that may all change with the final image of A Tale of Two Cities , as Pete sits down and takes a couple puffs of pot. Will this really be a “drugs turn the uptight guy into a hippie” story? Let’s hope not. OTHER NOTES: What is the deal with Bob? He continues to be as mysterious as all get out. He seems like a guy who just wandered in one day and nobody noticed he hadn’t always been there. The season’s progression seems to suggest that Bob may soon trump Pete at SC&P, and that he’s got a lot of skeletons in his closet. Ginsberg is such a great character. He’s both complex and instantly gratifying all at once, and with not all that much screen time. That’s rare for a supporting character. His meltdown this week was really great. It was cool to see two women taking a meeting, something that never would have happened when the show started.
Fawk cancer !! Sisters Kicked Out Mall For Anti-Cancer Apparel Sisters Takia and Tasha Clark were kicked out from a King of Prussia, Pa., mall after reportedly refusing to remove their hats, which read “F**K CANCER,” with the letter ‘C’ replaced by the breast cancer awareness pink ribbon symbol. The young women rocked the hats in support of their mother, Jackie Underwood who lost her battle with the disease. Via NewsOne reports: As the sisters were shopping at the mall, along with another sister, Makia Underwood (pictured left); friends; and relatives for a funeral dress for Zakia’s 9-year-old daughter, they were approached by a security guard. The security guard ordered the women to remove their hats. Zakia, 29, obliged the guard but her stubborn sister told the officer she needed to see proof in writing as to why she could not sport her hat. Zakia, who says she became suddenly fueled by her sister’s strong spirit which was so reminiscent of their mom, decided to put her hat back on. The security guard, who allegedly appeared combative toward the women, said, according to Zakia, “‘Since you don’t want to take your hat off, you can leave my mall.’ He stood there while we ate, and [he] threatened to call the cops.” Zakia then went on to tell Philly.com that seven security guards descended upon them as they ate their meals. “I was very embarrassed,” she said. “My daughter was so scared; she was crying.” According to the sisters, they were all escorted to the mall’s administrative office, where they were met by police who had been summoned by the security guards. Sister Makia also joined the women in the office soon after. According to Zakia, “The [police] officer said, ‘I find it offensive that you even have that hat that says ‘F— CANCER.’ It’s their mall, they want you out, you have to get out.’” The women were escorted out to their vehicles to ensure that they would leave the property. We’ve all seen much worst written or embroidered on shirts and caps plenty of times in our life. Normally, you’d think security or whoever gave them the boot would have told them to turn the material inside out but not rather just kick them out like that. SMH!!! The women have planned a rally today at 7 p.m. at the mall’s entrance near Nordstrom. The event was originally supposed go be a protest for the women were treated but has now turned into an awareness rally against the dreaded disease.
A Desoto County,MS judge has issued an arrest warrant for Rapper ‘Tim Dog’ who is supposed to be dead. Tim Dog, or Timothy Blair, was convicted of swindling a Southhaven women in 2011, but it was reported he died in February. Hernando Prosecutor Steven Jubera says if Tim Dog is alive, he’s pulling of the greatest scam ever in the history of hip hop. And if he’s alive, he’s also going to jail. “I need proof,” said Jubera. Proof is not easy to get when it comes to Blair. “Come to New York and see who gets robbed,” says his lyrics. Tim was known in the 90s for his song about Compton and more recently for his swindling ways. “I believe he was so angry that he had to pay me back,” said Victim Esther Pilgrim, who lost money to Blair after meeting him on an online dating site. Pilgrim, who fought to get Blair convicted, now believes Tim Dog’s pulling off his biggest scam yet. “This is amusing to him, she said. Pilgrim believes the rapper, reported dead in February, is really alive. The prosecutor who convicted him, agrees. “I need proof,” said Jubera. “I need a death certificate showing that’s he’s dead because as far as I’m concerned, he’s alive.” Jubera, with the Desoto County DA’s Office, filed a petition with a judge Tuesday To have Tim Dog’s probation revoked. The rapper was supposed to be making monthly payments to the courts after being convicted of grand larceny, but stopped paying when he was reported “dead.” Information about his death, however, is lacking in Rolling Stone Magazine and other publications that reported it. “Nobody said where he died, nobody said where he was buried, which is very odd for an obituary,” he said. In fact, even one of Tim Dog’s closest hip hop colleagues Ced Gee tells News Channel 3 that he refused to speak at Blair’s funeral because Tim Dog’s family could not produce a death certificate. Ced Gee believes after that, the funeral never happened. News Channel 3 also used a private investigator, who found no death records anywhere for Timothy Blair. If he’s alive, investigators say they plan to find him. “At the bare minimum he would get arrested and sit in jail until his court hearing,” said Jubera. The rapper owes $19 thousand in restitution to Pilgrim. Prosecutor Jubera says he will drop the arrest warrant, if Tim Dog’s family members can come forward and show proof of his death. youtube Continue reading →
