Okay, so you’ve devoured Maureen Orth’s Vanity Fair cover story on Scientology’s work-intensive but ill-fated attempt to pair Tom Cruise with Scientologist actress Nazanin Boniadi — a name that will launch a thousand late-night talk-show jokes. Now check out the elegant Boniadi’s sexy Nespresso ad with George Clooney , an overseas commercial that should also launch a thousand late-night talk show jokes. Once you’ve watched the clip below, imagine poor Ms. Boniadi scrubbing toilets and hawking copies of L. Ron Hubbard’s Dianetics on the street as, Orth reports, part of her punishment for revealing the whole Tom Cruise-psychodrama to a fellow Scientologist frenemy. (Well, she’s described as a “friend” in the Vanity Fair story, but what kind of friend turns around an narcs on someone who’s obviously distressed.) I don’t know about you, but thinking about the exotic Boniadi tearfully hunched over a commode makes me very sad, and I think it’s only right to beseech the gallant Mr. Clooney to swoop in and rescue his commercial co-star, preferably by motorcycle.

The aftermath… Penn State Face Massive Penalties As A Result Of Child Sex Abuse Scandal Penn State will have to pay up and sit out as consequences for the actions of their peen-pandering former football coaching staff hit the University hard. The NCAA has slammed Penn State with an unprecedented series of penalties, including a $60 million fine and the loss of all coach Joe Paterno’s victories from 1998-2011, in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Other sanctions include a four-year ban on bowl games, and the loss of 20 scholarships per year over four years. NCAA President Mark Emmert announced the staggering sanctions Monday at a news conference in Indianapolis. Though the NCAA stopped short of imposing the “death penalty” – shutting down the Nittany Lions’ program completely – the punishment is still crippling for a team that is trying to start over with a new coach and a new outlook. Sandusky, a former Penn State defensive coordinator, was found guilty in June of sexually abusing young boys, sometimes on campus. Does the punishment fit the crime? Source
Justin Bieber was pulled over on Friday and cited for excessive speeding . It’s not exactly his first traffic violation , either. But there is another side to the reckless story, as witnesses confirm Bieber was being trailed by multiple members of the paparazzi at the time of his ticket. In an attempt to curtail the chase, he even dialed 911 not long after receiving his punishment. “I have like five cars following me,” Bieber told the operator. “”They’re the ones that are driving recklessly now, I’m just trying to like not have them be on my tail right now.” The funniest part of the exchange? When Bieber tries explain the kind of car he’s driving (“Ummm… a Fisker”), which actually invokes a giggle from the woman on the other end. If only she knew to whom she was actually speaking, huh? LISTEN NOW:
This is just nasty !!!! A 16-year-old student was suspended after allegedly giving a classmate a cupcake laced with his “man juice”, Minneapolis City Pages reports: St. Paul police spokesman Sgt. Paul Paulos told the Pioneer Press the boy gave cupcakes to “quite a few people” on May 9, but “only one supposedly had spunk.” Unfortunately, the unlucky classmate ingested the baked good, so authorities are unable to confirm the allegations. On the day following his suspension, police say the student took to Twitter to express his outrage at the punishment — threatening to burn down Principal Dan Mesick’s house. “It’s under investigation by police, and we can’t comment,” St. Paul Public Schools spokeswoman Toya Stewart Downey told the paper. The student has since withdrawn from the school district. What type of disgusting mess is this?!? This sick little scumbag was passing out “creamy cupcakes” and then when he got caught, threatened to burn the principal’s house to the ground? We have place where this little heathen will get his fill of some “nutty treats”…. Jail! Source

Metta World Peace has been very quiet over the last few weeks. Eerily quiet, in fact. Ever since he delivered the People’s Elbow to James Harden’s head during a largely meaningless Los Angeles Lakers versus OKC Thunder showdown (and got suspended for it), Peace has seemed content staying out of the limelight and waiting for his punishment to run its course. Unfortunately, that silence left folks with… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Opposing Views Discovery Date : 08/05/2012 03:59 Number of articles : 3
What the hell is this piece of isht smiling for??? Ex-NYPD Cops Sentenced To 75 Years For Sexually Assaulting Woman At Gunpoint Former cop Michael Pena, convicted of terrorizing and sexually assaulting a Manhattan school teacher at gunpoint, will be 103 years old when he gets his first shot at parole. Pena, 27, got hit Monday with a 75-year-to-life sentence which means that he will likely die in prison. The sentence brought a rare smile to the face of the 25-year-old victim, who was outraged when the same jury that convicted Pena of sexual assault deadlocked on whether he actually raped her. “That day was supposed to be a new beginning for me,” the nervous victim told the court in a high-pitched voice before Pena was sentenced. “My life has been shattered.” She said Pena destroyed forever her sense of security and independence. “This has impacted every single aspect of my life,” she said. “He used his weapon and basically destructed my life with the choice he made that day.” The soon-to-be inmate offered a half-a$$ed apology after the verdict was handed down. “I’m deeply sorry for my conduct last August and the pain it caused.” Pena paused for a moment and then resumed speaking. “I deserve my punishment,” he said. “I will always carry the shame and burden of my actions. I have no explanation for what happened that day.” With cops like these, who needs criminals?? Source
You know you are already wondering if the police were called, since they look all white: In the wake of this week’s junior varsity tournament baseball game that ended in a brawl, parents said eight JV players have been suspended and kicked off the Yuba City High School team. Officials at Yuba City Unified School District would not confirm the punishment meted out so far, but parents said they’ve spoken among themselves and many think the punishment was too extreme. “Was our pitcher wrong? Absolutely. Nobody is denying that. However, are our boys supposed to sit back while their whole dugout comes and tackles our pitcher?,” asked parent Stacy Todd, referring to the moment in the game when the pitcher for the Yuba City team threw a baseball at the first base coach after he’d allegedly called the pitcher’s mother an insulting name. Todd’s son Camryn was suspended for five days for admitting he’d thrown a punch during the fracas. She said her son did not expect to be banned from baseball for the season. “He’s devastated. He had no idea he would be kicked off the team,” Todd said. Several students at Yuba City High School said they had mixed feelings about the punishment. “I think he was just defending his mom, but I don’t think he needed to go that far as to throw the ball and rush on the coach,” Yuba City High freshman Lissette Luney said. Meanwhile, veteran umpire Sarjeet Singh said officials have to keep control of a game. “Basically, you have to see those things coming,” Singh said. “Sometimes you don’t, you don’t. But, I feel at the high school level you can see it coming.” RELATED STORY: Districts investigate brawl at youth baseball game Monday’s game at Granite Bay between Del Campo and Yuba City ended in a fight, which for a time was posted on YouTube. In the video, it appears that members of the Yuba City team charge onto the field and fighting erupts. “The administration and adults are ultimately responsible for what occurred on the baseball field,” Singh said. “They have to assume responsibility for the situation and dish out punishment as needed.” Some parents said they believe part of the blame lies on the officiating. There was only one umpire working the game, the normal number for JV baseball. “Certainly, the more adults the better,” San Juan Unified School District spokesperson Trent Allen said. “But, you do have multiple coaches, you have the ump and you hopefully have caring parents, hopefully setting a good example for students.” Although, in the video, a person who appears to be a parent is clearly seen running onto the field. “They’re trying to help,” Singh said. “But, really they’re just fueling the fire… Between the lines, no parent belongs on a baseball diamond!” Investigations by both the Yuba City Unified School District and San Juan Unified School District are underway. If warranted, punishment could range from a single game suspension to expulsion from school. “The consequences that are at hand for this kind of thing would be suspension from school, suspension from the team, being removed from the team, being placed up for expulsion,” Yuba City Unified School District Superintendent Nancy Aaberg said. “Any of our players who came out of the dugout and threw punches would certainly face disciplinary action,” Allen said. “And then, of course, we’ll look at how our adults behaved as well.” Image And Source News10/KXTV More On Bossip!

Yes you read that right. Fortunately the kid lived, but he did suffer second and third degree burns all over his body cuz this monster thought it was a fitting punishment for a one and a half-year-old child. A California father convicted of holding his son in a hot oven to teach him a lesson was sentenced Friday to one year in jail. Gregory Colver Jr., 21, originally maintained he had been asleep while his 17-month-old child wandered into the kitchen, turned the oven on and climbed inside, hurting himself. The boy suffered second- and third-degree burns that doctors concluded were caused by a “hot, linear object,” District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. However investigators poked deeper into the story when Colver’s account didn’t match up with his girlfriend’s, the child’s mother, who was at work when the incident happened, KGO-TV reported. Colver, arrested on Dec. 30, ended up confessing to police that he had held the child in the oven purposefully to teach him the dangers of a hot oven. His lawyer later said that confession was false and the child’s burns were the result of an accident. Police ultimately determined Colver had been making a pizza in the oven when the child began “banging his hand” against the door, Wagstaffe said, according to the Chronicle. Colver retaliated by holding the boy in the oven, feet first. When he tried to wriggle out of his father’s grasp, he fell onto the hot surface inside and burned his legs. Colver was convicted in July of felony child endangerment and child cruelty. He was given credit for time served on Friday, and will therefore only have to spend roughly two more months in jail. The young father was also sentenced to five years of supervised probation and will have to attend parenting classes and counseling. TWO MONTHS??? This guy must be related to Casey Anthony or something, or her future soulmate because they sound like a perfect match. Eff a jail sentence period, this guy needs to have his sack roasted over the hot fiery pits of hell for eternity. Source
