She was definitely holdin them thangs!! A Playboy Playmate was jailed after trying to board a plane with a loaded gun. Glamour model Shanna Marie McLaughlin, who was Playboy’s Miss July 2010, was arrested at Orlando International Airport on Monday evening after agents searched her bag and found a revolver. When she put the duffle through an x-ray machine at security, a TSA official spotted the weapon and called police. She claimed the weapon belonged to her boyfriend, according to police. Miss McLaughlin, who was headed to Los Angeles, was jailed on a charge of carrying a firearm in a place prohibited by law. The gun, a .45 caliber Colt revolver loaded with six hollow-point bullets, was immediately confiscated. Authorities said the Playmate, who has been released from jail, has a valid permit to carry a concealed weapon. Yeah, yeah, it wasn’t yours but you have a concealed weapons license…SMH Source
Seriously, who chooses these people they want us to entrust our children to??? The principal of a Brooklyn high school for new immigrants had five students do hard labor moving furniture for her instead of doing schoolwork — a daylong field trip from hell that included kids being tossed around in the back of a U-Haul truck, The Post has learned. It’s at least the second time that Altagracia Liciaga, principal of Multicultural HS in Cypress Hills, has been investigated for allegedly outrageous behavior toward her students. Liciaga had sent the students on the dangerous excursion to a Midtown warehouse to pick up school furniture, with three of the teens sitting in the box truck’s dark cargo hold for both legs of the round trip, which each lasted 1½ hours. While two students sat up front in the cab of the truck with a student aide driving, the other three were forced to ride in back — including one teen who tied himself down with a scarf to keep from bouncing around like a pinball. “I thought the trip was very dangerous,” said one of the teens, who like most kids at Multicultural HS is a recently arrived Spanish speaker. “In the back, there [were no seat belts] for us. If I had known that ahead of time, I wouldn’t have gone.” No permission slips were filled out by parents for the unscheduled trip, teachers said. The student, who did not want to be identified for fear of retribution, said he stepped up when Liciaga was seeking volunteers because he likes to help out and because he assumed the errand wouldn’t take long. Instead, he and the four other students left the school before 10 a.m. on Dec. 14, hauled more than a dozen heavy cabinets into the truck and returned to the school after 3 p.m. After they had unloaded all the cargo on the third floor of the school, Liciaga thanked them by giving them tacos. Wait. Tacos, though? SMDH. A city Department of Education spokeswoman told The Post that Liciaga had been reprimanded. “The allegation regarding the furniture was substantiated, and the principal received a letter of reprimand,” the rep said. Wow. And you know the kids’ parents don’t know they can demand better for their children. Source

Let the folks in Hollyweird tell it, if you don’t like something about yourself, pay somebody to “fix” it. Plastic surgeons and celebrities go hand-in-hand like, well, celebrities and re-hab clinics, but we digress. For as long as anyone can remember there have been a myriad of star actors, singers, and TV personalities that have gone under the knife to make alterations to their self-conscious bodies. Peep the following pages to see some of the most popular operations that doctors make big gwap from. Source
Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “On the come up”… Sex sells, duh. And, apparently, during an economic recession, sex-related sales—from Trojan condoms to wine and chocolate—have been particularly hot. “At a time when unemployment is high and bank account balances are low, people are passing the time by getting busy,” Stefan Dallakian, the owner of Paris Intimates – an online sex toy distributor—told me. It’s estimated that the sex-toy business is a $15 billion industry. As the U.S. economy has worsened, Dallakian said that he has seen sales for sex toys skyrocket. At a time when the average consumer has less disposable income, Dallakian actually said that the Return On Investment, or ROI, has been quite high. Some models even come with a 10-year warranty, which he said, “works out to less than a penny per use, which makes it a much better investment than the stock market.” It used to be that sex toys were only sold in specialty stores, but the shift to online purchasing has also boosted sales due to a key ingredient: anonymity. “People no longer have to drive to the porn store and make a face-to-face purchase,” Dallakian said. “Online ordering with discreet shipping saves you the embarrassment of exposing your kinks to strangers, and there’s absolutely zero risk of running into somebody you know while shopping.” As an added bonus to discreet shopping, ordering online is often cheaper and offers a wider selection of products. While there are numerous offerings for a thrill on a budget (“sex toys are like shoes: there are lots for men, tons for women and a handful for both,” Dallakian said), customers with bigger wallets can find toys at higher price points as well. One such product, which Dallakian calls “the Bentley of vibrators at the price of a well-equipped Hyundai,” uses medical grade silicone in its premium design. Made by a Swedish company, the toy, which is worth several hundred dollars, can now be purchased online for $125. In difficult times people do what they have to, to find a little piece of happiness. If that means making more whoopee, then so be it! Source
Talk about random ridiculousness. A woman who got out of her car on I-285 was struck by several vehicles and killed early Sunday morning, Cobb police said. Police identified the victim as Yasmel Garcia-Victoria, 23, of Norcross. Police said Garcia-Victoria was driving westbound on I-285 near Cobb Parkway and engaged in an argument with 38-year-old Michael Swetell, also of Norcross, when Swetell pulled the emergency brake, causing the 2002 Honda Civic to come to an abrupt halt in the emergency lane. Both occupants left the vehicle and continued to argue, police said. Garcia-Victoria was struck in the right travel lane by multiple vehicles. Only one driver stopped to report the accident. Garcia-Victoria died at the scene. Swetell drove to a Waffle House on Atlanta Road at about 3:40 a.m. and sought assistance, investigators said. Cobb police arrived and took Swetell into custody. After questioning he was charged with involuntary manslaughter, reckless conduct, concealing a death, tampering with evidence and DUI. SMDH at all those cars hitting her and not stopping. SMH at this whole situation… Source
Did they really think they could pull this off? An inmate who tried to hide in a suitcase to escape jail was sent packing back to his cell, Mexican authorities said. The man, aided by his 19-year-old common law wife, was busted as she tried to wheel him out of a prison in Chetumal in the Caribbean state of Quintana Roo, police said. Juan Ramirez Tijerina’s bungled prison break followed his conjugal visit with Maria del Mar Arjona. Tijerina is serving a 20-year stretch for illegal weapons possession stemming from a conviction in 2007. Police said Arjona looked nervous as she struggled to pull the suitcase, which also looked to be unusually heavy. When officers stopped her and opened the case, they found Tijerina curled up in the fetal position. Arjona now faces prison time for her role in the attempted escape, authorities said. Silly girl! Now she’s going to prison too! Give it up to the horny toads … they get an ‘A’ for effort. Comedy! Source

This broad must be the White celebrity female version of Keyser Söze : “protected by the Devil on high” when it comes to her criminal activity. Her house arrest for constantly violating probabtion and being a thieving drunk/powderhead is officially over. And if you’re trying to remember how much time it’s been since she was sentenced: 35 days. That’s shorter than the amount of summer school a kid gets for failing high school math! A source confirms to E! News that Lohan has had her ankle bracelet removed and is now free to leave her Venice, Calif. residence. Separately, Lindsay’s rep tells E!: “I spoke with her yesterday and she told me she is eager to return to fulfilling her community service obligation which she has been unable to perform during house arrest.” For Lohan, who hasn’t been seen on the big screen since her blink-and-you-missed-it cameo in 2010′s action film Machete, that “obligation” includes mopping floors at the L.A. County Morgue. Lohan was originally sentenced to 120 days in prison for violating her probation after she was charged with felony grand theft for allegedly swiping a $2,500 necklace. Those charges were later reduced to a misdemeanor for which she pleaded no contest. However due to the fact that Lohan’s a non-violent offender, she was eligible to complete her term by spending 35 days in home confinement to reduce jail overcrowding, her movements tracked by an ankle monitor. There was speculation last week that she might end up back in the clink however after she flunked a random alcohol test on June 13. But after being ordered back to court last week, the judge said the incident did not constitute a probation violation. WHAT. The hell??? At least she’s not all the way off the hook. While her time in home detention has come to an end, the actress still has to complete 480 hours of community service that includes 360 hours working at the Downtown Women’s Center in L.A. and another 120 hours performing janitorial duties at the L.A. County Morgue. The community service must be completed within a year and Lohan is due back in court for a progress report on July 21. We don’t even understand why they still waste time and taxpayer money to bring this broad to court when she never ever ever gets punished for real. Souce
