Off The Hook: Trey Songz Avoids Time In The Slammer For Allegedly Getting Slap Happy With A NY Pole Dancer

Them strippers will get you in trouble. Trey Songz Off The Hook In Assault Case According to TMZ Trey Songz is officially off the hook in his strip club assault case … after prosecutors decided they couldn’t prove the rapper smacked a woman in the face WITH CASH during an album release party last August … TMZ has learned. We broke the story … Songz was arrested for assault in NY after a woman at Club Perfection told cops Trey threw a “sum of United States currency” at her face, “causing substantial pain to her left eye.” It’s unclear if the woman was a stripper … or just one of those sexy waitresses that don’t get naked (so disappointing, right?). Officials investigated the incident … and ultimately determined they couldn’t prove he did anything illegal, so Trey is in the clear. But the Queens D.A.’s office tells TMZ … even if Trey did throw cash, “There would be no clear case of misconduct. There was just no high level of recklessness.” We glad Trey is off the hook, cause somebody was going to toss that salad in jail. Continue reading

Ho Sit Down: Fox News Host Megyn Kelly Says Eric Holder’s Denunciation Of Violence Against Muslims Could Be Seen As Offensive

For some people ignorance is just in their DNA. Fox News Host Says Eric Holder’s Remarks Could Be Offensive According to Raw Story U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s denunciation of violence against Muslims during a speech to the Anti-Defamation League could be seen as offensive, according to Fox News host Megyn Kelly. Though the vast majority of his speech focused on the ADL’s importance in fighting hate crimes, some conservatives have become outraged that Holder denounced “misguided acts of retaliation” against Muslims. Kelly addressed the issue during a segment on Monday. “He is speaking to the Anti-Defamation League, which is a group that fights anti-Semitism and he is lecturing that group on how they can’t be bigoted, and we can’t be ignorant, and we can’t have a backlash against Muslims,” Kelly said. “I mean, the context could be perceived by some to be somewhat offensive, that the Attorney General is perceiving the folks in front of him or others in this country are now getting ready to put on their bigoted clothes and go out there and exercise their ignorance as opposed to expressing outrage at the fact that we were attacked by two guys who apparently are followers of radical Islam.” Kelly’s guest, Julian Epstein, completely dismissed her concerns, stating that nobody at the ADL thought Holder’s remarks were offensive. He noted Muslim Americans and mosques frequently faced attacks following high-profile terror attacks like the Boston Marathon bombing. But Kelly was skeptical that Muslims in the United States were threatened, citing the lack of news coverage of such events. Following the Boston Marathon bombing earlier this month, frequent Fox News guest Erik Rush called for all Muslims to be killed. Three days later, a man assaulted a Muslim woman in Boston and screamed, “Fuck you Muslims! You are terrorists!” The FBI has investigated more than 800 hate crimes against Muslims — and those perceived to be Muslim — since 9/11. Do you think when people are given a public platform it magnifies their racism? Fox News

Ish Just Keeps Getting Weirder: Boston Bomber Ex Says “He Took My Virginity, Tried To Brainwash Me, And Slapped Me”

The Boston bomber had been coo coo for coco puffs for a long time! Boston Bomber’s Ex Says Bomber Tried To Brainwash Her According to The Sun An ex-girlfriend of dead Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev has told how he tried to brainwash her into becoming a Muslim fanatic who hated America. Nadine Ascencao, 24, said Tamerlan made her wear an Islamic hijab and pray to Allah and slapped her when she wore Western clothes. But she was so blindly in love with the handsome boxer who had taken her virginity, she did her utmost to make him happy. Nadine said: “I went to his mosque a couple of times and even looked into converting to make him happy. I thought, ‘This is crazy’ — but I still did it for him. “Tamerlan had taken my virginity and said he loved me because I was pure and hadn’t been with any other guys. I was in love and scared he’d leave me if I didn’t do what he said. Looking back I had a lucky escape.” Tamerlan, 26, who with 19-year-old brother Dzhokhar killed three people and injured 260 when they exploded two bombs at the Boston marathon, started dating Nadine in 2006 when she was 17. During their three-year relationship she watched him change from a smoking, party-loving teenager into a violent extremist. She said: “One minute he’s this funny, normal guy who liked boxing and having fun, the next he is praying four times a day, watching Islamic videos and talking insane nonsense. “He became extremely religious and tried to brainwash me to follow Islam. Tamerlan said I couldn’t be with him unless I became a Muslim. He wanted me to hate America like he did. They say once you get in the mind the body follows. Mind control is real people. AP

Bolitics: Rep. Louie Gohmert Comes For Barack Obama ” This Administration Has So Many Muslim Brotherhood Members That Have Influence, That They Are Making The Wrong Decisions For America”

People just won’t let this Muslim thing go! Louie Gohmert Makes Muslim Accusations Against White House According to Raw Story Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) revisited the anti-Muslim accusations lobbied by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MI) last year in a radio interview, Think Progress reported on Saturday. “Radical Islam is at war with us,” Gohmert said in an interview on Thursday with World Net Daily radio. “Thank God for the moderates that don’t approve of what’s being done. But this administration has so many Muslim Brotherhood members that have influence that they just are making wrong decisions for America.” Attorney General Eric Holder, Gohmert said, spent more time “trying to help terrorists than trying to corral them” before assuming his current post, which he said was demonstrated by the reading of Miranda rights on Monday to Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. “It’s very clear to everybody but this administration that radical Islam is at war against us,” Gohmert said. “I’m hoping that either this administration will wake up or a new one will come in at the next election, before irreparable damage is done.” Gohmert did not cite any sources for his allegations, which resemble Bachmann’s accusations in July 2012 that Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) and Huma Abedin, a former deputy chief of staff for then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, had a “long record” of association with Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi’s party. The two congress members were part of a group of lawmakers that sent letters to officials at the Homeland Security, Justice, State and Defense departments calling for an investigation into a “potential Muslim Brotherhood infiltration.” Later that year, however, Bachmann said the letters were only “asking questions.” The letters were quickly criticized by other Republicans like Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who called them “specious and degrading.” But Gohmert came to Bachmann’s defense, saying McCain and other “numbnuts” like House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) should have read the letters before calling them into question. If members in your party don’t believe the Muslim allegations, then why continue to pursue it? AP

Come On Now: Boston Bomb Mom Says Attack Was “Fake” And “Blood On Boylston Street Was Paint”

Mom at some point you have to wake up from the fog. Boston Bombers’ Mom Calls Bombing Fake According to The NY Post The father of the two Boston bombing suspects said Thursday that he is leaving Russia for the United States in the next day or two, but their mother said she was still thinking it over. Zubeidat Tsarnaev told CNN that she believed the terror attack was staged, calling it “a show.” “That’s what I want to know, because everybody’s talking about it — that this is a show, that’s what I want to know. That’s what I want to understand,” she said. The mother told the network she had watched a video about the conspiracy theory and said she hadn’t seen images from the bombings. The mother wildly claimed the blood on Boylston Street was paint but then cried for the victims of the brutal blasts. “I really feel sorry for all of them. Really feel sorry for all of them.” The parents of Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev returned last year to Dagestan, one of several predominantly Muslim provinces in southern Russia, where they lived briefly before moving to the US a decade ago. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, who was killed in a gun battle with police, spent six months last year in Russia’s Caucasus, which has been ravaged for years by an insurgency led by religious extremists. They say a mother’s love is unconditional, but we think this mother’s love is just plain delusional. AP

Try And Try Again: Amanda Knox Opens Up About Facing Murder Charges For A Second Time

Amanda Knox set down with People Magazine for an exclusive interviewing as she faces murder charges for a second time in Italy. Amanda Knox Opens Up About Facing Murder Charges For a Second Time According to People She’s been free since 2011, but Amanda Knox – who spent four years in Italian prison for murder – still faces moments of crippling anxiety, she tells PEOPLE Magazine exclusively. During an emotional, candid and wide-ranging interview, which took place in her mother’s Seattle home over several days, Knox, 25, details her odyssey from carefree American college student in Perugia, Italy, to convicted murderer confined to a cell for four years for allegedly killing her roommate, British student Meredith Kercher. “When Meredith was murdered and I was arrested, it was so shocking. It was paralyzing. Everything toppled,” says Knox, who also shares the overwhelming joy of being set free after an appeals court overturned the charges in 2011. Although these days she is back at college, dating her hometown boyfriend and relishing every minute she spends with her large and loving family, she is still haunted by the ordeal. “Things creep up on me and all of a sudden I’m overwhelmed by the feeling of helplessness and that desperation and fear to even hope,” she says. “Just that can make my heart race and makes me paralyzed until I can breathe it away.” Do you think Amanda Knox can beat a murder rap for a second time?

Lauryn Hill Claims She Didn’t Pay Taxes Because She "Withdrew From Society"

Lauryn Hill claims the reason she stiffed the United States on massive tax bills for years is essentially the same reason she fell off the map after the ’90s. Fear. Lauryn filed legal document asking for mercy before her sentencing later this month, claiming there was a reason she failed to file tax returns from 2005-07. Hill has already pleaded guilty and faces several years in prison. Her hilarious excuse for not reporting $1.8M in earnings? She stopped paying “when she withdrew from society at large due to what she perceived as manipulation and very real threats to herself and her family.” She’s not specific about the threats, but it’s a new explanation for her abrupt disappearance from the music scene after her rise to fame, if nothing else. Lauryn’s asking the court to consider other factors and to give her probation instead, citing that she can pay off the debt much faster if she’s not in jail. A judge will rule April 22.

Grief-Stricken Sandy Hook Parents Deliver President Obama’s Weekly Address Begging For Gun Control Reform [Video]

Get your tissues ready… Francine Wheeler Delivers President Obama’s Weekly Address Asking For Gun Control Reform Via HuffingtonPost The mother of a 6-year-old boy killed in the Connecticut school shooting used the opportunity to fill in for President Barack Obama during the weekly radio and Internet address to make a personal plea from the White House for action to combat gun violence. “Thousands of other families across the United States are also drowning in our grief,” said Francine Wheeler, choking back tears in the address broadcast Saturday. “Please help us do something before our tragedy becomes your tragedy.” Ben Wheeler was among the 20 first-graders and six adults killed in the Dec. 14 attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. Francine Wheeler was the first person to deliver the address other than Obama or Vice President Joe Biden since the two took office in 2009. Her husband, David Wheeler, sat silently next to her as she made the recording in the White House Library. Both wore the small green pins that have become a symbol of the shooting. You can watch Francine’s address in its entirety below. R.I.P. Ben Wheeler

Doin’ The Butt: Swamp Eel Removed From Man’s Blow-Hole After Getting Stuck Chewing Through His Colon

YIKES! Imagine these up your… Eel Removed From Man’s Colon Via HuffPo reports: A man in China’s southeastern Guangdong province admitted himself to a local hospital after he reportedly got a live eel stuck inside him. According to British tabloid The Sun, the man inserted the 20-inch-long Asian swamp eel into his anus after seeing it done in a porn movie, and he had to endure all-night surgery to have it extracted. According to a HuffPost translation of a blogger’s post on Chinese message board forum Mop.com, the eel reportedly chewed through the man’s colon, perforating his large intestine, and became stuck in his body cavity. A graphic X-ray image (seen below) shows how far inside the eel was when the man came in for treatment. Medical team members reportedly said the eel, which was “simply trying to find its way out,” was alive when removed but died shortly thereafter. According to The Sun, the man is still recovering at the hospital and might face animal cruelty charges. The Asian swamp eel — also known as the rice eel or rice paddy eel — is a snake-shaped fish that is commonly sold live at food markets in East Asian countries. Although this type of eel is known as an invasive species in parts of the United States, this isn’t the first time that it’s made its way into (ahem) foreign habitats. He was trying to cop a f- eel.
