Wearing a custom-designed Monique Lhuillier blush-hued gown with a Chantilly lace corset bodice and full tulle A-line skirt, Witherspoon, 35, “wowed,” says a guest. “She took your breath away.” Reese Witherspoon#39;s country-elegant March 26 wedding to Pennsylvania native Jim Toth, 40, mixed her Southern roots with inspiration from her 1920s ranch estate. “Timeless California architecture, rustic materials and beautiful gardens,” says a pal, gave the actress the perfect storybook setting for h
A young lady who was jealous and enraged about the fact that her ex-boyfriend had moved on , has been charged for trying to hire a hitman to kill his new lover with stolen credit cards from Paypal: Marissa Mark, 28, from Allentown, Pennsylvania is alleged to have hired Essam Ahmed Eid through his amateurish website www.hitmanforhire.net. She wanted him to kill Anne Royston for $37,000 in 2006. She is accused of paying a $19,000 deposit with three stolen credit cards through website PayPal. Marissa Mark, left, is accused of hiring Las Vegas poker dealer Essam Eid, left, through his website www.hitmanforhire.net to kill her ex-boyfriend’s new lover. The shoddy website said: ‘Whether you are trying to put an end to a domestic dispute or eliminate your business competitors, we have the solution for you’. The hire-a-hitman website, which has since been taken down, said: ‘Assassinations are the most practical solutions to common problems. Thanks to the Internet, ordering a hit has never been easier. We manage a network of freelance assassins, available to kill at a moment’s notice.’ Court documents show that PayPal refused to transfer the money Mark allegedly paid from three stolen credit cards, meaning Eid never received any money. According to FBI accounts and court documents, Royston – who worked as a loan broker – was first contacted by Eid in September 2006 under the pretence of wanting to refinance his house. He visited her officers in Woodland Hills, California with one of his two wives, Theresa Engle, posing as his assistant, and told her ‘Somebody wants your head. Somebody wants you killed and they hate you a lot.’ He said he decided against killing her because she reminded him of his own daughter and she could save her life and see Mark dead by settling the balance of the contract. In this current case Mark was arrested in Jersey City, New Jersey and transferred to Allentown, Pennsylvania where she appeared in court charged with conspiracy, identity theft and other counts. She was granted bail on a $150,000 bond. There are rumours that the events could be turning into a movie. www.hitmanforhire.net??? This isht is crazy and needs to be a movie….real talk!!! Source
Perverts… Police in Pennsylvania say a 34-year-old man with an extensive criminal history has been arrested for allegedly trading tattoos for sex with a 14-year-old girl. Investigators say Walter Meyerle had repeated sexual contact with the girl at his home in Morrisville and other locations over the last year. Bucks County District Attorney David Heckler told CBS affiliate KYW that they don’t usually publicize child sex cases, but in this case they want to get the word out about Meyerle. “We have reason to believe that Mr. Meyerle may have many more victims in the lower Bucks area or even well beyond that,” Heckler told the station, adding that Meyerle met the girl through his relationship with her aunt. Heckler says both the aunt and the girl’s mother went to police after noticing the girl had a tattoo in her pelvic area. Heckler told KYW that Meyerle is believed to have a tattoo studio in his home and told the girl during the course of their year-long relationship that he would give her the tattoo in exchange for various sex acts. Police have set his bail at $1 million. Why can’t people just f*ck people their own age?? SMH. Source
Pennsylvania dance duo are set to take the stage at SXSW and Miami’s Ultra Music Festival. By Adam Stewart Designer Drugs Photo: MTV It’s been a long road for Pennsylvania electronic duo Designer Drugs, but for Michael Vincent Patrick and Theodore Paul Nelson, that’s half the fun. Having been making music together for well over 10 years, the duo recently debuted their second album, Hardcore/Softcore, on Ultra Records and have been thrust into the ever-expanding American dance-music audience. Now, on the heels of the album’s second single, “Through the Prism,” featuring rapper and fellow Brooklynite Cerebral Vortex, Designer Drugs are poised to bring their unique brand of grind-house electronic to the masses Thursday night (March 17) at Austin, Texas’ South by Southwest, followed by a huge set on the Live Stage at Ultra Music Festival in Miami on March 25. “We started doing a lot of remixes and just trying to make a specific kind of music,” Patrick told MTV News. “But now, with the album, we are just doing whatever we want and making more of an electronic album.” “We had, like, a hundred songs and riffs,” Nelson added. “And we just basically picked ones we thought were the best for the album and put them all on. We didn’t really have a good idea of what we wanted to accomplish, but it ended up being what it was and we were pretty happy with it at the end.” Kicking things off with the first single “Drop Down,” a wobbly synth monster reminiscent of an edgy Prodigy-esque sound garnished with Gregorian chants, the vibe DD bring to the dance-music game is unique and captivating. Hardcore/Softcore brings the art of an album back to the table, melding full-length tracks with melodic interludes. “I think it kind of helped to tell a story for this album, but we didn’t plan it,” Patrick said. “Nothing for this album was really planned. It all kind of happened; we wrote all the music and then kind of linked it together.” “We just thought, ‘This sounded cool, but let’s not make it an entire song; let’s just kind of put it in there and see what happens,’ ” Nelson added. “But we do listen to a lot of old classic-rock stuff, too, like Pink Floyd and all that other stuff. So there was a little bit of influence from there.” Will you be catching Designer Drugs on the Live Stage of Ultra Music Festival in Miami? Let us know in the comments below!

Word on the street is that this Superbowl party is going to be one helluva soiree, what happened to our invite Barry O!?!? The guest list for President Barack Obama’s White House Super Bowl party includes entertainers Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony as well as elected leaders from Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Obama said he’d go to the Super Bowl in Arlington, Texas, if the Bears won the NFC title against the Green Bay Packers. But his team lost and the Packers are taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. A White House spokesman said Thursday that about 100 people have been invited, including White House staff, family and friends and other members of Congress. Among those expected to attend are Attorney General Eric Holder, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Sens. Pat Toomey and Robert Casey Jr. of Pennsylvania and congressman Reid Ribble of Wisconsin. Former Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle, Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett were also expected. In a news release, Barrett said he and his 18-year-old son, Tommy, will bring gift baskets made by Milwaukee companies Usinger’s Sausage and Klement’s Sausage. Watching the Packers win the Super Bowl with Obama, whom he called the Bears’ fan in chief, will be “particularly satisfying,” Barrett said. Obama previously said he wouldn’t take sides in the Super Bowl. But he visited Penn State University on Thursday and told a crowd, ”I’ve got some love for the Steelers.” Obama visited Manitowoc, Wis., on Jan. 26 and received several Packers jerseys as gifts, including one signed by Packers cornerback Charles Woodson. Woodson wrote: ”See you at the White House. Go Packers.” Maybe our invite just got lost in the mail due to the weather. Yeah, that’s what happened… Source
A distracted Pennsylvania woman fell in a fountain at the mall because she was texting so feverishly. That’s hilarious, as is the fact that she’s now suing the mall! Oh yes, Cathy Cruz Marrero feels the mall is at fault for not helping her. She claims she could’ve been badly hurt and the security guards should’ve helped. Instead, they laughed. As will you, when you watch this greatness here: Woman Texts, Falls In Fountain “I’m just like dumbfounded. All I kept saying was, ‘I fell. I fell. I fell in the fountain. I fell in the fountain,'” said Marrero. Yes. You sure did, there, Cath . Marrero has hired a lawyer to pursue legal action. The investigation is ongoing at the mall as to who leaked the video online. Whoever it was, thank you!
The Sarah Palin stalker wants the world to know he’s innocent. His hilarious, dubious explanation? Sarah texted him first! The father of 19-year-old Shawn Christy says that back in 2009, his son began receiving “ominous” text messages from an unknown number. The person sending the texts dropped several hints about her identity, including that she’s from Alaska and works in politics … obviously, it was Sarah Palin. Why would Palin contact some random guy in Pennsylvania? Shawn’s dad couldn’t explain that part, but they alerted the FBI about these mystery texts. The bureau didn’t investigate Sarah, instead turning on Shawn, gathering evidence against him to secure the restraining order that he’s still under. Shawn’s dad says they’ve spent thousands fighting the protective order to no avail and have since been forced to declare bankruptcy. Really, guys? Why do you need a restraining order against Sarah Palin lifted? Just don’t go near her. Besides, Sarah would just Facebook you anyway. Texts? Come on.
