Por dios… Teenage Girl Could Be Deported For Selling Weed Brownies At School Via CBS-Sacramento A Yuba City teenager is in danger of being deported after she tried to raise money for a prom dress by selling pot-laced brownies. Saira Munoz wanted to go to prom, but when she didn’t have money for a dress, she became an entrepreneur. “People make mistakes,” said Carlos Robles, a friend of the teen. But this mistake landed the River Valley High School student in handcuffs. Munoz, 18 at the time, decided to put on a school bake sale. There was an extra ingredient in her brownies: marijuana. She hired a fellow student to sell her brownies. She done turned her damn school into “The Carter” Her pot ploy fell apart when a student got sick and needed to be rushed to the hospital by ambulance. “I was hurt, because she got arrested, and nobody wanted to see somebody we cared about go away,” Robles said. Because Munoz hired a fellow student, she was charged with employing a minor to sell marijuana—a felony. Robles went to school with Munoz at River Valley High and remains friends with her. “She was just a very positive person,” he said. “I just don’t like the turnout of this,” he said. A judge sentenced her to four years probation on Monday and nine days in jail with credit for time served. Sounds like a reasonable punishment, but it actually gets worse Munoz also learned during her sentencing that she could be heading back home to Mexico. She came to the United States with temporary permission in 2000. After the Sutter County Probation Department called the feds about her conviction, she could now be deported. “No, there’s people that deserve to be deported, and she just wasn’t one of them,” Robles said. “There’s people that do way worse.” We get that she must have really wanted to go to prom, but she could have sold something legal to make money, lacing the brownies with that green yahmean just wasn’t real smart.
Hate it or love it ?? O.J. Mayo Buys $1.8 Million Milwaukee House Via Realtor O.J. Mayo’s contract with the Milwaukee Bucks runs all of three seasons, but that didn’t stop the talented NBA guard from putting down roots in Wisconsin. If nothing else, Mayo will be living comfortably during his stay in Brew City. The 26-year-old guard recently made a big-time purchase, picking up a five-acre property in the River Hills suburb of Milwaukee. Built in 1995, the home is a modern take on the Prairie School style and incorporates classic Prairie attributes such as horizontal lines, inlaid windows and a prominently pitched roof. It has five bedrooms, five bathrooms, two fireplaces and over 9,000 square feet of living space. The first floor has a kitchen with a breakfast room that flows into an outdoor living room. Downstairs, a finished lower level has been converted into a recreational mecca of sorts and comes complete with a separate kitchen and bar, various game rooms, a movie theater and a sportsman’s room. Records show that Mayo paid $1.8 million for the home in late September. The property, located just 10 minutes north of the Harris Bradley Center, originally came to market in early January with a price tag of roughly $2 million. Images via Realtor

How they try to stick Ri Ri for her paper? River Island Stands By Rihanna Oh they trying to phuck with the scrilla…phuck outta here. Real talk, there are so many real threats to children out there….let Ri Ri be great. According to 3am “Rihanna has been contracted to design a range of adult clothes which are sold exclusively by River Island. She is not the face of River Island or its spokesperson in any way. As with all our collaborations, her views are her own.” “River Island is proud to support many charities including DrugFAM which does invaluable work supporting the families of people with addictions and will continue to do so.” We smell an epic Rihanna ether moment in 5,4,3,2,1…..
The Real Housewives of New Jersey gave us a confrontation between “Gym Rats.” We recap the foul mouthed tirades and insults in THG’s +/- review! Honestly, if you are buying a book from any of the Real Housewives for marriage advice, you should probably just file the divorce papers now. Or admit yourself to the nearest asylum because that’s just crazy. Minus 22 . Still, I’m sure Melissa Gorga ‘s book on having a happy marriage will sell with words of wisdom from husband Joe like, “The sex is important.” Sort of gives credence to Filomena Guidice’s words when she basically says that Melissa dresses like a prostitute. Maybe Joe picks out her clothes. Plus 10 to the publishers…who actually expect Melissa to write a little something before she starts cashing the checks. Right now that bible on marriage is looking more like a pamphlet. But Minus 18 for pushing her to add stories about her philandering father who was killed in a car accident when she was a teenager. Is it more heart they’re looking for…or more salaciousness? The entire cast of the show swears they’re done with Teresa Guidice but why can’t they stop talking about her. Minus 9. And if Jacqueline is wondering if Teresa’s a sociopath, then what the heck is Rosie? The woman can’t hold a conversation for more than five minutes without screaming and causing a ridiculous scene…even at her niece’s birthday party. One moment Victoria is giving a very sweet speech about sharing her birthday with her father, “the first man I ever loved.” And plus 15 to her. The girl seems to possess more tact and sense than most of her family. Moments later we hear Rosie spouting, “Take it up the ass, Teresa” and “I’m going to speak my mind. I don’t give a sh*t..” Minus 30 . I don’t mind her speaking her mind but does she have to sound like a foul mouthed truck driver every time she does it? You can’t blame Teresa for ruining that party. She wasn’t even there. The only people not talking about Teresa seem to be Caroline Manzo’s sons. Chris and Albie have a new venture. Imagine that people didn’t want to drink black water. Go figure. They’re opening their own restaurant in Hoboken called Little Town NJ. They’re following in their father’s footsteps and you now what…best of luck to them. Plus 10. But let’s get back to the gym. Where does Teresa get that incredibly gaudy work out wear? And you can tell that she’s serious about working out by her long flowing hair and full makeup. If you missed it, yes. I’m being sarcastic. Minus 9. Then T spots her brother across the room and things turn bad quick. Joe reminds Teresa of every horrible thing she’s said about his wife…which she mostly denies. Then he brings Teresa’s husband into it. At first I wanted to call foul but since Teresa’s always bashing his wife I guess turn around is fair play but when he threw out, “I respect my wife. I don’t call my wife a c**t” I began to think he’d gone too far. Minus 13. But it was Teresa who made laugh when she shot back with, “He didn’t call me that to my face.” So it’s OK if her husband calls her the C word to other people then. Maybe Melissa should write the down for her book. That’s just … incredibly sad. Minus 35 . I think that water bottle is the first thing Teresa has thrown all season. Plus 12 . It’s good to have things get back to normal. Somehow I don’t see a happy family reunion any time in the near future. EPISODE TOTAL: -89! SEASON TOTAL: – 166!

Aerialist Nik Wallenda completed a tightrope walk a quarter mile over the Little Colorado River Gorge near the Grand Canyon in Arizona on Sunday. Wallenda, of the renowned Flying Wallendas, performed the stunt on a two-inch-thick steel cable, 1,500 feet above the river on the Navajo Nation. Nik Wallenda Grand Canyon Walk He took just more than 22 minutes to complete the tightrope walk, pausing and crouching twice as winds whipped around him and the rope swayed. Nik Wallenda didn’t wear any sort of harness and stepped slowly and steady throughout, murmuring prayers to Jesus almost constantly along the way. “Thank you Lord. Thank you for calming that cable, God,” he said at one point about 13 minutes into the walk, when things got particularly harrowing. The event was broadcast live on the Discovery Channel (above). Winds had been expected to be around 30 m.p.h. Wallenda said they were “unpredictable” and that dust had accumulated on his contact lenses. “It was way more windy, and it took every bit of me to stay focused the entire time,” said the 34-year-old Sarasota, Fla., resident and daredevil. Nik is no stranger to high-wire stunts. His great-grandfather, Karl Wallenda, fell during a performance in Puerto Rico and died at the age of 73. Several other family members, including a cousin and an uncle, have perished while performing wire walking attempts such as his on Sunday. Nik Wallenda is still here, fortunately, having grown up performing with his family and dreamed of crossing the Grand Canyon since he was a teen. Sunday’s stunt comes a year after Nik Wallenda traversed Niagara Falls and earned a seventh Guinness world record … this one may take the cake. Where do you go from here? The event was touted as a walk across the Grand Canyon, an area held sacred by many American Indian tribes, though it was actually just nearby. Some local residents believe Wallenda and Discovery didn’t accurately pinpoint the location … but come on, that was a pretty impressive tightrope walk!
