These boys are heroes!! Teenagers Save Kidnapped Girl From Pedophile Two teenage boys are being hailed as heroes after they chased a car carrying a kidnapped girl — on their bicycles. Via CNN reports: Five-year-old Jocelyn Rojas was playing in her front yard in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, when she vanished Thursday afternoon. Authorities believe she was abducted by a man who lured her by offering ice cream. For two hours, neighbors and police scoured the area and asked if anyone had seen her. Temar Boggs, 15, and his friend took off on their bicycles to search. About a half-mile away, they spotted Jocelyn in a sedan. But the driver was elusive. “Every time we’d go down the street, he’d turn back around, and then … we’ll follow him,” Temar told CNN affiliate WGAL. The two teens chased the alleged kidnapper on their bikes for 15 heart-pounding minutes. The driver apparently knew he was being followed and gave up. “He stopped at the end of the hill and let her out, and she ran to me and said that she needed her mom,” Temar said. Jocelyn’s relatives and neighbors took turns hugging Temar. “He’s our hero. There is just no words to say,” Jocelyn’s grandmother Tracey Clay said. Police are looking for the suspect, described as a white male between 50 and 70 years old. He was driving a reddish-purple or maroon car with round taillights, WGAL reported. The man was wearing green shoes, green pants and a red-and-white striped shirt. He walked with a limp. Although the suspect remains at large, Temar feels good about finding Jocelyn. “I just feel like I did something very accomplishing today,” the teen said. The girl’s family couldn’t agree more. This is one of those times where the word hero actually applies. Ordinary people under extra ordinary circumstances doing extraordinary things. Well done boys, you have restored some faith in humanity lost in the noise this weekend, and you saved a child from a terrible fate.
We’re not gonna front — Vashtie Kola is “Someone We Actually Like” but so is Pharrell and we hear great things about his fiancée Helen. So… when we received a tip accusing Kola of homewrecking we were pretty shocked. Check out these claims and tell us if you think they seem realistic: So I’m not sure if anyone close to Pharell that written in about this. But lately Pharrell’s relationship with Helen has been really rocky all due to his ex Vashtie Kola. Vashtie has not stopped “communicating” with Pharrell since they broke up. For a long time after the break up they were hooking up, even when she had a boyfriend (who is still her boyfriend mind you though she has never not once said she has a bf) and back when Pharrell was first dating Helen. To this day, Vashtie is constantly hitting up Pharrell, checking in on him, emailing him, and asking him for help with her career. He feels bad because he was her true love and now he is having a family with someone else so he will to this day put her on for most of her career moves. He funds a lot of her Violette line, gave her the supreme look on Karmaloop which he is creative direct of, and lets her collaborate on a lot of BBC stuff still. Not to mention throws videos her way, and connects her with huge huge brands. She could never get on her own. She is a serious clinger. And its causing a rift in Helen and Pharrell’s relationship because Helen just wants her to leave her man alone and let them start a family. BBC still will blog posts about Vashtie, Vashtie stays close with BBC employees and its just like – girl move on and let Helen and Pharrell start a life together. Its disrespectful at this point. Here are pics from this weekend, Vashtie and BBC execs at Pusha T’s store opening (who was originally Pharrell’s artist) ..subliminal tweets which she always does for Pharrell. It’s like move on. You have your own man. Pharrell has his own thing. But she’ll constantly do anything to be connected with him – working with his friends, his artists, showing up at his store, collabing with BBC. But did you see her at the BBC 10 year reunion – no bc Pharrell was there that would be too obvious. Its all just so sketchy. She is so slimy. Downtown’s Sweetheart ..right. More like homewrecker. Does this seem like reaching to you guys? A lot of folks are still friendly and helpful when it comes to their exes. Just look at Diddy and J.Lo.

A pair of Golden State Warriors fans, on their way home from Oracle Arena after their team was eliminated from the NBA Playoffs, were killed in a shooting Thursday night. Christopher Beardon and Terrance Marks were headed home in a white Porsche Panamera when someone in a SUV pulled alongside their vehicle on Interstate 880 and opened fire with a semi-automatic. Beardon – who was behind the wheel – was killed by the gunfire; Marks was hit by an oncoming car after the Porsche hit a guardrail and he either fled or was ejected. He was also shot in the drive-by. Police are asking other fans in attendance for help and studying surveillance video in an attempt to narrow down the suspect list. They do not believe it was a random act of road rage.
A man who stole a woman’s purse mistakenly ran through a glass door at an Australian mall, then managed to get away even after he was left knocked out, according to video from Reuters. The video shows a man running through a corrider, through the glass and lying face down for several moments. Initially, bystanders who were unaware the situation tried to help, Reuters says, but an alleged accomplice eventually dragged him to a car, Reuters says. A tattoo-shop owner tried to intervene and hold the suspect, but he let go when he was threatened with a gun, the video says. And he still got away? azcentral.com
Is the NFL ready for an openly gay football player ? Chris Clemons Says It Would Be ‘Selfish’ For NFL Player To Be Gay VIa HuffPo reports: There has never been an openly gay player in the NFL, and Seattle Seahawks defensive end Chris Clemons thinks it might be best if it stays that way. In a series of tweets on Tuesday, Clemons said he didn’t think it would be a good idea for a player to come out of the closet while playing professional football, although he insisted he wasn’t homophobic. “Who on Gods earth is this person saying he’s coming out of the closet in the NFL?” tweeted Clemons. Speculation about the possibility of a professional football player coming out picked up this week after a report by Mike Freeman of CBS Sports. “Based on interviews over the past several weeks with current and former players, I’m told that a current gay NFL player is strongly considering coming out publicly within the next few months — and after doing so, the player would attempt to continue his career,” wrote Freeman. He added that the player believes it is “now time for someone to take this step” but is worried about the reaction of homophobic fans. Clemons then explained that he wasn’t against playing with a gay teammate, but he thought coming out of the closet would be a “selfish act” by the player in question. He then added: This is the new homophobic argument- gays are selfish for foisting their lifestyle choices on us. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! Do you think the NFL and sports world are ready for gay players?? Twitter
A Marine killed a male and female colleague in a shooting at Quantico, a military base in northern Virginia, before killing himself, according to reports. The tragedy began with a shooting around 11 p.m. Thursday that left one dead at Marine Base Quantico, base spokesman Lt. Agustin Solivan said. That shooting led to a standoff between authorities and the suspect, who was barricaded in barracks at the base. Authorities entered early Friday. They found the suspect dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound along with a second victim. Solivan did not say what prompted authorities to enter the barracks. No names were immediately released but Solivan said the suspect and both victims were Marines. Authorities believe the suspect was a staff member at the officer candidate school. Solivan said the shooting was isolated and there were no other casualties. The base was on lockdown after the shooting but the lockdown was lifted early Friday. During the lockdown, residents were warned over a loudspeaker to stay inside. About 37 miles south of D.C., Quantico also home to the FBI’s training academy. In 2010, it was one of several targets of an ex-Marine reservist who, during five nighttime shootings, fired on military targets including the Pentagon.
So buff and so strong… We’re hearing stories that his locked up lifestyle has changed O.J. Simpson . He done changed his mind about women! According to National Enquirer reports : AFTER nearly five years behind bars, O.J. SIMPSON’s bizarre behavior has some of his close friends worried that the former football great has gone gay! “I don’t know what’s happened to O.J.,” an insider told The ENQUIRER. “He used to be Mr. Macho – a diehard ladies’ man. He preferred the really fine sexy blondes, but being surrounded by only men has changed him. “Now O.J. has way too much interest in guys, and he likes to show off his body to the hardened felons when they exercise in the prison yard. He’s doesn’t even talk about women, just about guys. “It doesn’t sound to me like he’s straight anymore!” Once a notorious skirt-chaser, Simpson was convicted in 2008 for robbing memorabilia dealers at gunpoint the year before. Not long after the conviction, the 65-year-old gridiron great was sent to Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada to serve a 9- to 33-year prison sentence. He isn’t eligible for parole until 2017. After the recent Super Bowl, the insider says O.J. called him – but he seemed more interested in the way the players looked than what happened in the game! “He couldn’t stop talking about Baltimore Ravens receiver Anquan Boldin,” noted the source. He said, ‘Anquan is my man! What a great looking guy!’ “Clearly, he wasn’t admiring Boldin just for his football skills. He kept going on about him and some of the other players in a tone that sounded sexual to me. “That alone wouldn’t make me worry, but O.J. also spends a large part of his time in prison lifting weights. Though his hair is graying, he’s built up his body to where he is really muscular.” Incredibly, Simpson puts on a one-man show for fellow inmates when they go to exercise. “He’s like a God to the other inmates,” said the insider. “He prances around flexing his muscles, wearing only a pair of gym shorts. “He spends hours in the gym trying to look as good as those guys in the muscle magazines. He works out with several inmates who are really built.” Perhaps the biggest tip-off that O.J. may now be playing for the other side is his choice of prison companions, according to the source. He says the former ladies’ man hangs out with a group of openly gay men known as “The Girls.” “WHENEVER HE’S LET out into the prison yard, he stays with them,” revealed the insider. “He says, ‘The Girls treat me like I was a king!’ “He claims they flirt with him and even give him massages. Some even call him ‘DJ’ – short for ‘Daddy Juice.’ ” O.J. has used “The Girls” as his personal posse for years now, added the insider. “He says he has even gifted a few of the ‘girls’ with candy bars, sodas and toiletries from the prison canteen,” continued the insider. “I’ve asked O.J. why he doesn’t talk about women anymore, but he just laughs it off. He says, ‘Man, what do you think I am? You’ve known me for many years. C’mon, get off all this. There ain’t no women in here! Of course I talk about guys. We’re all guys in here.’ “But I can’t help being concerned about O.J. He certainly isn’t the same man he was before being locked up.” The insider is not alone in his concerns. A source who’s been close to Simpson for 15 years confided to The ENQUIRER: “It wouldn’t surprise me if he has gone gay. “O.J. is doing the best he can living in the prison world surrounded by men. I don’t know if he has become gay. He always loved women and was a lusty lover, but anything can happen to a man behind bars. He has to be the center of attention wherever he is, and in prison he still plays that game. He is the star and has all the other prisoners looking up to him.” The source added that the only time O.J. previously seemed sexually interested in a man was years ago in a nightclub in Miami’s South Beach, where he swooned for 6-foot-2 professional drag queen Elaine Lancaster. Even after he was told she was a he, O.J. still wouldn’t give up the chase! As O.J. gazed longingly at the curvy blonde, one of his companions recalls him saying: “With something that beautiful, who cares?” Well, well, well. He has been in jail a long time riiiiiight?
