Cop Who Killed Mike Brown Went Into Hiding With Family After Shooting According to Mediaite reports: Ferguson police this morning identified the police officer who shot Michael Brown as Darren Wilson. And when reporters knocked on the door of Wilson’s residence today, they discovered he apparently left town days ago. USA Today reports that no one answered at his home, and a cop watching the house said “Wilson and his family left days ago.” They also got testimonials from neighbors, including this woman’s description of Wilson: A neighbor, who did not want to be identified, said that Wilson had moved into the neighborhood less than a year ago. She described him as ” tall and slim” and that she would see him walking his dog in the neighborhood of mostly single-story brick homes. She said she didn’t know he was the cop until this morning when Crestwood police informed residents that he was involved and the neighborhood would be getting attention. According to the Ferguson police chief’s comments earlier today, Wilson was unaware that Brown was a robbery suspect when he confronted him. SMH. Do you think Wilson had no other option but to leave town, considering the outrage in Ferguson following Mike Brown’s death?

Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada made an unexpected announcement on The Colbert Report: A new Captain America is coming to town. A very new Captain America, that is. Sam Wilson, Captain America’s veteran partner The Falcon, will be replacing Steve Rogers this fall in the comic book series. Wilson will officially take over the shield in “All-New Captain America #1,” which will be penned by Rick Remender and Stuart Immonen. Colbert asked Quesada about the fact that Wilson black, to which the CCO replied. “I don’t see colors.” The host, naturally, then shot back: “If you don’t see colors, how do you do comic books?” Wilson was created by Stan Lee and Gene Colan and first appeared in 1969’s Captain America #117. At the time, he was the only African-American superhero in mainstream comics. Fast forward many decades and the character debuted on the big screen earlier this year in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. “I’ve been having a lot of fun writing Sam,” Remender told a Marvel.com. “It’s a completely different attitude. The fact that he’s not a soldier shifts things up a bit. Sam’s not going to be Steve. Steve can be very rigid. That can be kind of joyless at times, whereas Sam is absolutely not that.” What do you think, readers? Do you care that Captain America is now black? Yes, he should be white. No, good for him.

You big dummy. Mother Steals From The IRS According to Mail Online A mother of three, who taunted authorities to catch her as she stole about $20 million from the IRS, has been jailed for 21 years. Rashia Wilson, who pleaded guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft earlier this year, admitted to stealing more than $3 million but the figure is believed to be much higher. Tampa police were first alerted to the fraud in 2010 when they noticed a drop in drug dealing in the area. As Wilson, who became known as the ‘First Lady of tax fraud’ was sentenced on Tuesday, she was denied the chance to hug her three children, aged between 2 and 12, good-bye, according to the Tampa Bay Times. ‘She knew what she was doing was wrong. She reveled in the fact that it was wrong,’ U.S. District Judge James. S. Moody Jr. said. The 27-year-old, who also pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm, had boasted on Facebook that she was untouchable. ‘I’m Rashia, the queen of IRS tax fraud,’ the post stated. ‘I’m a millionaire for the record, so if U think indicting me will B easy it won’t, I promise you! U need more than black and white to hold me down N that’s to da rat who went N told, as if 1st lady don’t have da TPD under her spell. I run Tampa right now.’ A psychologist brought in to testify for the defense argued the Facebook post was a sign of Wilson’s bi-polar disorder, which made her liable to brag. When will people learn to not brag about their illegal activities on these social-networking sites. Ignorance stays winning. Continue reading →

Host Rebel Wilson paid homage to her Australian roots as she hammered out a musical number to begin the 2013 MTV Movie Awards Sunday night. The actress began in an Aussie-themed hot pink track suit – with koalas imprinted over her breasts – before stripping down to a black leather cat suit. She belted out Eminem’s “Lose Yourself,” Alicia Keys’ “Girl on Fire” and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ “Thrift Shop” in the process. Watch the highlights below: Rebel Wilson MTV Movie Awards Intro 2013 (FULL) As she closed out the opening musical performance, an Australian flag fell down across the stage’s back video screen. But she wasn’t done there. The comedian then stopped to take a break and wiped herself down with a towel, while a topless man sporting a six-pack brought her a bottle of water. She thanked “hunky,” before a larger shirtless man appeared to bring her chocolate, at which point Wilson took a bite and took time to thank “chunky.” Finally, she introduced herself to the audience … who appeared stunned. After all, how often do you see something like that go down? Grade Rebel Wilson as MTV Movie Awards host : Awesome Pretty good Okay I guess Not impressive Sucked View Poll »
