Jacob Anthonisen, Lindsay Lohan Pal, Implicated in Murder Investigation

Jacob Anthonisen, an art dealer and friend of Lindsay Lohan and other stars, is currently being sought in a murder investigation, according to Radar Online . The 37-year-old, who runs with the likes of Emile Hirsch, Mickey Avalon, Taryn Manning and Lady Victoria Hervey, has been named a person of interest . On June 9, a decomposing body was found in the back of a Cadillac Escalade registered to Jacob Anthonisen in a parking lot in West Hollywood, Calif. The remains were identified on Thursday as Steven John Simmons – Jacob’s stepbrother – and the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the chest . “He has been involved with some very dangerous people in the past, and we are worried that they have something to do with this,” a close pal said. Anthonisen, who owns The Peanut Gallery in L.A., has been missing since May 31. “At this point, everyone is just hoping he is alive and well,” a pal said. “But it’s no secret that he served time in prison for drugs, so it’s something to consider here. The circumstances lead us to believe drugs played a role.” Anthonisen has something of a troubled past, having served two years in prison from 2003-2005. He was convinced on drug-related charges in Arizona.

Tony Parker: Hurt in Chris Brown-Drake Melee!

Tony Parker of the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs was apparently collateral damage in the wild fight between Chris Brown, Drake and their entourages Wednesday. Eva Longoria’s ex suffered a serious eye injury! Parker was inside club W.i.P in NYC Wednesday when bottles and fists began to fly in a Chris Brown-Drake fight that began as a war of words, but got physical, and ugly. So ugly, Parker’s career was close to being jeopardized. Parker addressed the media and said he got shards of glass in his eye during the melee. He will recover, but it was VERY close to being VERY bad. “I was there with a bunch of friends when a fight broke out,” the All-Star point guard recalled. “They started to throw bottles about. I got it all.” “My cornea has been touched. I can’t do anything for seven days. But I was lucky. The injury won’t prevent me from competing the Olympics.” We’re glad to hear that and wish the Frenchman a speedy recovery. As for the main instigator? It looks like a gang-sign flashing posse member .

According to the docs, Mathis says even though her ex “is willing to take the risk of terrorism,” she doesn’t think a child “should be willingly taken to a place of promised danger.” If you recall … the NBA star and Mathis have been embroiled in a nasty custody battle for awhile … and Bosh says this latest skirmish is another example of Mathis trying to keep him from his daughter. A judge ordered the issue to be decided by a Parenting Coordinator … but there’s no word yet on the outcome. What the hell is up with these mothers that want to keep their children away from good fathers?! Shout out to Chris Bosh and Gabriel Aubry, this too shall pass gentlemen…smh Image via Redeye

Sierra LaMar Presumed Murdered, Antolin Garcia-Torres Arrested

Sierra LaMar, a 15-year-old Northern California high school cheerleader who disappeared in March, is believed to have been murdered , and Antolin Garcia-Torres has been arrested in connection with the crime, police say. LaMar, who was last seen on the way to the bus stop, is believed to have been kidnapped by Garcia-Torres, according to authorities who arrested him. “We believe this is the worst kind of crime – a stranger abduction of a young girl,” Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith told reporters Tuesday. Deepening the mystery is the fact that the body of Sierra LaMar has not been found and authorities have not said how or when she was killed. Smith says only that police have “strong facts” LaMar was murdered. In any case, Antolin Garcia-Torres, 21, was arrested Monday at a Safeway supermarket in Morgan Hill, Calif., 70 miles southeast of San Francisco. He was booked for investigation of murder and kidnapping based on evidence that included DNA, says Smith, who did not elaborate any further. At the news conference, Sierra’s mother begged Garcia-Torres to “come forward and say where she is, and end this nightmare for us as a family.” Garcia-Torres’ sister says police have arrested the wrong man. “It’s not him,” Lucero Garcia tells the San Jose Mercury News in response to the arrest. “It feels like we’re in a movie right now, an unfair movie.”

Jones, whose real first name is Lori, has been looking online, but she admitted on HBO’s Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel that she hasn’t had too much luck . The biggest detriment, she says? Her virginity. Lolo Jones Behind the Scenes “It’s something, a gift I want to give my husband,” the 29-year-old hurdler says. “This journey has been hard. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.” “Harder than training for the Olympics. Harder than studying for college has been staying a virgin before marriage. I’ve been tempted.” She says she’s even considered its impact on her sport: “I’ve had guys tell me … ‘Hey, you know, if you have sex, it’ll help you run faster.'” Lolo Jones didn’t buy that suggestions, she says, despite how much she wants that gold medal. She then says, “If you marry me, then yeah.”

Hilary Duff’s Tasty Big Funbags Come Out

Here’s Hilary Duff out running some new mommy errands in some tight pants and sexy heels. She looks good, still a little softer than I like her, but I’m alright with a little meat on the bones from time to time. I thought that celebrities were supposed to lose all the baby weight in like a week or two, that’s why they’re celebrities. I guess I can let it slide, I’m enjoying those extra large funbags she’s lugging around with her these days. Yes!

Velvet Sky Hottest Baseball Player Ever

So I guess I’m to understand that this Velvet Sky chick can probably kick my ass right? Ya, I can see that, but that doesn’t scare me in the least. I normally pay extra for that kind of thing. Bring it. Anyhow, here she is showing off a pretty tight body in one of the hottest women’s softball uniforms I’ve ever seen. Maybe if real teams wore this kind of thing women’s softball would still be in the olympics. Just a thought.
