Artie Lange: Back In Jail, Reportedly Near Death

The tragic saga of Artie Lange took another sad turn today when the troubled comic was arrested after violating his probation by failing a court-ordered drug test. According to TMZ, Lange tested positive for cocaine and morphine and was taken into custody following a court appearance in Essex County, New Jersey on Wednesday afternoon. Lange’s long battle with substance abuse has been well documented, and sadly, his brushes with the law have become more frequent in recent years. In 2017, Lange pled guilty to heroin possession , and it seems he’s been caught in a downward spiral ever since. In December of 2018, Lange’s fans and loved ones experienced a glimmer of hope when the 50-year-old announced that he had completed in-patient rehab and entered a long-term outpatient treatment program. The comic even vowed to use his talents to help others by doing one show a month for which all proceeds would go to toward helping a fellow addict attend rehab. “Guys I will tweet about this once. Today in court they drug tested me,” a hopeful Lange tweeted on December 14. “For the last decade or more they’d have found both Heroin and Cocaine.  With the help of in my eyes a miracle legal medication called Suboxen I tested negative for Heroin. I haven’t used Heroin in 41 days…” Unfortunately, that optimism proved to be short-lived. Lange’s reps confirmed last night that the comic has been forced to cancel his upcoming shows following a bad day in court. “Excuse any show advertisements.. starting today, Artie will be undergoing a long term treatment program, he loves and respects his fans,” read a tweet from Lange’s account. “Updates coming soon.. and it’s time – TeamLange” Today, the account tweeted that Lange is being held without bail, but adds that that’s not necessarily a bad thing: “The comments made by Arties lawyer have been taken out of context.. Artie was not arrested and sent to jail,” the tweet read. “They are holding him a few days to sober up before transferring him to a long term treatment facility, Artie needs us to be with him, not against him- TeamLange” As many have pointed out, the claim that Lange has not been sent to jail is somewhat meaningless, as he’s sure to be sent to a holding center once he’s fully detoxed. Back in June of 2018, Lange predicted that drug court and four years of probation may prove to be too much for him: “The judge was very fair! But 4 yrs probation is a long time. I am gonna try my best,” Lange tweeted. “If I end up in jail for yrs  let my life be a lesson to you kids battling Heroin. I had everything! And more. I traded it for powder. Don’t make that mistake. Ur better than that.  & I love u!!” We join millions of fans in wishing Artie all the best in his recovery.

What In The El Chapo? Florida Sinkhole Turned Out To Be Underground Tunnel To A Bank 

Source: Getty / Getty The world is officially turning into a Sci-Fi movie by the day. FBI officials have just discovered that a sinkhole just north of Miami, Florida is actually an unfinished 150-foot-long tunnel to a bank across the street. Here’s a look at the underground tunnel leading up to a Florida bank – discovered when police responded to a possible sinkhole. The FBI says it’s about 50 yards long and just 2-4 feet wide. The attempted bank burglary on @ABCWorldNews pic.twitter.com/34i17BKYru — Victor Oquendo (@VictorOquendo) January 30, 2019 Agent Leverock told reporters that the tunnel was so narrow “a person would have to lie on his or her stomach to navigate it.” According to the FBI news release , Inside or near the tunnel, investigators found a wagon that had likely been used to haul dirt, as well as a power generator and a winch, which can be used to haul heavy loads. “Everybody here is just shaking their heads,” Agent Leverock said. “They could’ve been going for the A.T.M., they could’ve been going for the vault.” Police are still baffled and investigating the mysterious tunnel. No arrests have been made.

Pubic Display Of Affection: Austin Police Pop Dingy Derelict For Power-Drilling Her Puddycat In Public,

Source: Kristina Strasunske / Getty Woman Arrested For Maturbating Publicly Masturbates In Back Of Cop Car If you’re horny, just do it, ride it, my pony. Those are the words of iconic American panty-purser Ginuwine, but its just a song, not life advice. Unfortunately, people like 26-year-old Dovie Nickels might have a difficult time understanding that. According to NYPost , police in Austin, Texas arrested Nickels for indecent exposure, what was she indecently exposing? Allow us to tell you… Police responded to a complaint from the JW Marriott Austin Hotel about 5:20 p.m. Tuesday about a woman across the street “holding a silver object” against her privates “with her legs straight up in the air, spread open,” according to the arrest affidavit. The hotel employee added that he could hear the woman “making moaning noises”. When he approached her to tell her to stop, she went to a bar next door where she continued her masturbatory mission. When police arrived at the bar where Nickels was double-clicking her mouse, she tried to play it off by putting her hands on the table, but officers noticed that she wasn’t wearing any pants. Even after being arrested Nickels reportedly continued to masturbate in the back of the cop car. At what point do you decide that getting a nut just isn’t worth it? SMH.

Lady Gaga: Tearful Testimony In Kesha Rape Lawsuit Revealed

Back in 2016,  Kesha alleged that she had been raped by Dr. Luke, an A-list music producer who has worked with just about every big name in pop over the course of his career. The allegations never resulted in any criminal charges, but Kesha’s lawsuit against Luke and his subsequent countersuit have led to countless headlines and many hours of sworn testimony. At least two of Luke’s other high-profile collaborators have provided depositions thus far. Back in November, testimony from Katy Perry revealed that while she sympathized with Kesha, she denied the singer’s claims that she had also been raped by Luke . Documents that were unsealed that same week revealed that Lady Gaga provided emotional support to Kesha as she grappled with the decision to go public with her allegations. Gaga’s testimony was made public this week, and while the singer says she was never assaulted by Luke, her sympathy for her fellow abuse survivor is obvious. Before she began her testimony, Gaga’s lawyer revealed that whole episode “has proved to be a trigger event” for her. “[S]he has experienced in the past few hours some PTSD reactions which is causing some trauma and emotional reactivity,” he said. “So she is crying now the record will reflect.” From there, Gaga recounted meeting with Kesha not long after Luke’s alleged attack. “What we discussed was what I recall was her immense sadness and depression and fear,” Gaga recalled. “She was visibly very different than when I had seen her before, and — but I can’t say specifically what exactly we spoke about. I just recall that it was emotional, and I wanted to be there for her.” Gaga went on to reveal what Kesha later told her about the assault. “She told me that he used power and manipulation in some fashion or some type of verbiage,” Gaga recalled. “I am not repeating exactly the words that came out of her mouth, but that he used power and manipulation to control her, and that she had been given a happy pill, that he offered her something and that she took it, and that she woke up and didn’t remember, and that’s what she told me.” Asked if she felt that Kesha’s claims would damage Luke’s reputation, Gaga aptly pointed out that there are bigger things at stake here than one man’s reputation: “Reputation, if you are asking about his reputation in the world, I don’t feel at liberty to speak for the entire world,” the singer stated. “So if you are asking what my view is of his reputation, I made my view of him and his reputation when I saw her in that back room. That was an image that — of something that happened to me, and I felt and knew in my heart that she was telling the truth, and I believe her.” Asked why Kesha would come forward after initially remaining quiet about the alleged assault, Gaga became irate:  “And when this happens in this industry, it is kept extremely secret, and it is compounded by contracts and manipulative power scenarios that actually include this very situation that we are all in right now,” she told the court. “Why on earth would this girl tell the entire world that this happened? Why on earth? Do you know what it’s like for survivors? Do you know what it’s like to tell people? “Don’t you roll your eyes at me,” she told an attorney for Luke. “You should be ashamed of yourself.” The outcome of Kesha and Luke’s competing lawsuits remains to be seen, but whatever the case, Gaga in many others have made it clear that they will no longer be intimidated into silence by powerful men.  View Slideshow: Kesha’s Legal Battle: 23 Celebs Who Joined the #FreeKesha Movement

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap: Jennifer Aydin Threatens to STAB Melissa Gorga

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is not the best series in the franchise.  There, we said it.  However, the show does pack a punch when it comes to the fights between the ladies, and Wednesday’s installment gave us a fight that even Teresa Giudice was probably proud of.  Hell, it found Jennifer Aydin breaking a win glass and threatening to stab Melissa Gorga.  Oh yes, it was one for the books, and it’s time to unpack what went down.  All of the ladies were engaged in yet another brutal argument, and insults were being hurled as patrons of the restaurant looked on in horror.  “If I throw a f***ing glass you’re gonna know it,” Jennifer screamed, as she smashed a wine glass and held it up at Melissa.  “You’ve got the wrong f***ing girl, I’m telling you that,” said Melissa who was ready for a fight with her new enemy.  Teresa then screamed “No, no, no” as the screen faded. Oh yes, we were left on a cliffhanger of epic proportions.  But how did we get to this point?  Let’s run down what came before it.  The two women who were friends before the incident only started arguing when Melissa thought Jennifer threw wine at her when their castmates were fighting earlier.  Danielle and Margaret were the ones to start fighting. They’ve been at it for weeks, and while it’s draining, it’s providing the show with some much-needed drama.  Always the one to cross lines as though they are going out of fashion, Danielle started to bash Margaret’s relationship with her kids.  “If you spent a little time with your kids maybe they’d still be here – maybe you’d see your grandkids and maybe, just maybe, you’d have a relationship with them,” Danielle yelled across the table, but Melissa butted in: “Kids are off limits, Danielle!” Margaret did not let that one lie, and called Danielle “an old dog with no new tricks,” but Danielle continued to stick the knife in, yelling: “They are not around you – get over it!”  What happened next was Margaret losing her cool, so she doused Danielle with her glass of wine as though she would explode like a demon.  “You f***ing c***,” retorted Danielle as her makeup ran down her face, and she had to be restrained by a security guard.  Poor Danielle was only trying to emerge from the “friend of a housewife” status, and we think she made a good attempt.  “She is vile. She’s dead to me. I’m done with this,” Margaret muttered as she walked off.  “There’s an unwritten law in this group: You do not talk about people’s children,” Dolores Catania quipped of the whole scenario. “Had Danielle talked about my children she would have no teeth left. When kids come into the picture, it’s no holds barred,” Dolores continued. Then there was Jennifer and Margaret, who brought their New Jersey beef on vacation.  The fight was apparently about the necklace the housewives bought for Teresa.  “You know what Margaret, you’re used to an environment of cheating. Your mother f***ed someone for 15 years – I get it!” Jen screamed as the ladies locked horns again.  “That’s why your husband sleeps in the f***ing poolhouse,” Margaret clapped back. Jen maintained that her relationship was fine and that her husband could sleep wherever he wanted.  “I know, whether it’s in his girlfriend’s bed or not,” said Margaret with an evil grin, adding:  “Word on the street.” Jen had enough and exited the table, but not before screeching: “Shut the f*** up with that!” “I know nothing about your marriage. I said that to hurt you,” Margaret admitted when Jen returned.  “I said things to hurt you too,” Jen revealed in a somewhat sincere moment. “We’re just both p***ed off.” Elsewhere on this eventful installment, Teresa aired her thoughts on Joe’s return from prison.  “I’ll be excited when he’s home. He said, ”I’m gonna be so far up your a** – I’m gonna do everything with you,’; and I’m like, ‘Oh no!'”,’ she laughed. “It’s also nerve-wracking because I am more independent now. And If I don’t like something – even my dad says, ‘If they don’t do what you say, tell them to go f*** themselves.’ When he comes home, then we’ll see how it is. “Obviously, I know I’m a different person. I think he’s definitely gonna be a different person,” Teresa added. Melissa had her own two cents to share on the whole mess that is Teresa’s marriage.  “Obviously, we’re all waiting and hopeful that they’ll all be together as a family again very soon. But the elephant in the room is that that might not happen,” she said in a confessional.  What are your thoughts on all the action?

Ben Affleck: Officially OUT as Batman!

It’s been a rollercoaster week for old Beantown Bennie, aka Ben Affleck, aka the Artist Formerly Known as Batfleck. On the plus side, Tahmmy Touchdown and the rest fackin’ Pats are likely to cruise to yet another Super Bowl victory on Sunday, thus prompting yet another duck boat parade at which the line between celebration and relapse is sure to become blurred to the point of invisibility. But sadly, Ben’s Sam Adams-fueled mirth is sure to be tinged with sorrow, as just like a young Bruce Wayne, Affleck has unexpectedly lost that which means the most to him and must now brood and vape for the rest of his days. Warner Bros. announced this week that it’s scheduled the release of the next installment in its Batman franchise for June of 2021. And it looks as though the project will not feature Ben as the Caped Crusader. Affleck essentially confirmed the news on Wednesday when he retweeted an article reporting that the project would go forward with director Matt Reeves, but without Ben. That means that despite being cast as Batman way back in 2013, Affleck will exit the role without ever having starred in a film in which he received sole top billing. Ben donned the cape and cowl for Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad , and Justice League , all of which were ensemble efforts — and none of which were particularly well-received by critics. The news of Affleck leaving the role comes as both a surprise and a disappointment to many fans of superhero films. While the initial decision to cast Ben as Bruce Wayne was met with widespread skepticism, many applauded Affleck’s plan to direct himself in a standalone Batman film . The sheer, Welles-rivaling ambition of the project was enough to elicit optimism, and many were eager to see the Oscar winner’s take on one of Hollywood’s most iconic characters. It’s still unclear exactly when and why those plans went off the rails, but it’s believed that Affleck’s tumultuous personal life played a role. Multiple rehab stints, a highly-publicized divorce from Jennifer Garner , and allegations of inappropriate behavior left the public with an image of Ben as a guy who fights rumors, not crime. Affleck’s decision to step away from DC’s ambitious cinematic universe seems to have come in stages. In 2017, Affleck announced that he would not be directing his own Batman film, revealing in a statement that he felt doing so would compromise his acting ability. “It has become clear that I cannot do both jobs to the level they require,” he said at the time. The decision to resign from the role completely seems to have come about during Affleck’s most recent stint in rehab , and many believe it was prompted by his desire to focus on recovery. We crack the occasional joke at Ben’s expense here, but he’s an immense talent, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors, both personal and professional. That said, we hope his Pats get steamrolled by the Rams on Sunday. Hey, Ben lives in LA now, it’s a win-win for the guy. View Slideshow: Shauna Sexton: Get to Know the Playmate Banging Ben Affleck!

‘LHHMIAS2’ Recap: Pretty Ricky Still Can’t Get Right

Read the original here:

Source: Apega/WENN / WENN Veronica Vega is back on tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Miami . She’s determined to take control of her career after chatting with Polow Da Don. She’s tired of people having the wrong idea about her and wants to move past the controversy of “Pay Me,” the drama with Amara La Negra, etc. Luckily for her, Trick Daddy has taken a liking to her (not like that)  and wants to help. He set her up with an interview with Nore’s podcast, Drink Champs . Later on in the episode, she goes on the show and actually does well despite the fact that they pulled no punches with their line of questioning. Good for her. Bobby Lytes meets with his mom for advice. He wants to know if he should sign with Trina or go with Clear Vision Group. There are pros and cons for both. Trina said she wants to wait on having him sign paperwork and first sees how he does with putting out a single. Clear Vision group is ready to go full speed ahead. His mother says to go with Trina since she’s family and has more experience. Bobby Lytes has some thinking to do. Later on, he decides to sign with Clear Vision. We already knew he’d make the more controversial decision. Trina didn’t even know that deal was on the table. She definitely won’t be happy. Miami Tip had a meeting with Jullian and Amara La Negra and decided to be messy and bring Jessie Woo along. You already know Jessie didn’t hold back about how she thinks Jullian was feeding her ideas to Amara La Negra. Eventually, this ends in drama (of course). Jessie said she heard Amara was going around saying she was going to beat her arse then says that Amara’s mother, cousins and everyone can get it. We all know Amara doesn’t play about her mother so she pretends she’s actually going to pop off on Jessie but that tight Love and Hip-Hop Miami security swoops in and handles that. Then Amara acts all disappointed in herself, talking about how she doesn’t want to stoop to Jessie’s level, but she’s tired of people coming for her. Jullian talks her off the ledge and reminds her of her success and all the good things coming up. Baby Blue reached out to his father, Big Blue, to come back into the mix and whip Pretty Ricky back into shape. That sounds good in theory, but in practice, Big Blue isn’t even on good terms with the rest of Pretty Ricky, including his other son, Spectacular. As a matter of fact, Spectacular didn’t even invite him to his wedding. It’s also important to note that Spectacular didn’t even ask Baby Blue to be his best man. Basically, the rest of the group feels like Big Blue did not manage their money well. So let’s fast forward to the end of the episode. It’s the big chat with Big Blue and the rest of Pretty Ricky. Slick ‘Em start going in on Big Blue about finances first. Slick ‘Em said he’s still financially messed up from the group and doesn’t even have a bank account. Big Blue refuses to take responsibility for that. Then Spectacular chimes in and says that Pretty Ricky never got paid for all the touring they did. Then Big Blue tries to flip it on him and says that Spectacular has been making money off Pretty Ricky’s social media and shouldn’t talk. This is a mess. Spectacular starts yelling at his pops because he wishes he would just take responsibility for their financial ruin but Big Blue doesn’t like the way Spectacular is talking so now he and Spec go at it. These brothers legit threaten to beat each other up and that’s where the episode ends. We know security won’t let this go down but it’s high time for them to get a therapist. Where’s Dr. Jeff Gardere when we need him. RELATED POSTS ‘LHHMIAS2’ Recap: Shay Pops Off On Jojo For Breaking Girl Code ‘LHHMIAS2’ Recap: Trina Mediates A Peace Talk Between Joy And Shay
