Your nature perforated the abrasive organ pumps Spray painted everything known to man, Stream rushed through and all out into Something Whilst the crackling stare down sun snuck Through our windows boarded up He hit your flint face and it sparked. And I bellowed and you parked We reached Marfa. One honest day up on this freedom pole Devils not done digging He’s speaking in tongues all along the pan handle And this pining erosion is getting dust in My eyes And I’m drunk on your morsels And so I look down the line Your every twitch hand drum salute Salutes mine … What say you,readers?

Teresa Giudice Faces New Fraud Charges

Make that 41 fraud charges for Teresa Giudice. With The Real Housewives of New Jersey star and her husband already facing up to 30 years in prison as the result of allegations over forged bankruptcy documents, U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman now says two new counts have been tacked on. They result from a $361,250 mortgage that Teresa took out in 2005. “In the course of obtaining the loan, she and Giuseppe Giudice prepared a loan application which falsely stated that Teresa Giudice was employed as a realtor and that she had a monthly salary of $15,000,” Fishman said. “Teresa Giudice was not employed outside the home at the time.” Teresa and Joe will answer this latest charge in a Newark court Wednesday. They pleaded not guilty in August to the 39 other charges. The federal indictment accuses the Giudices of exaggerating their income by faking her employment history while applying for various loans. The couple supposedly failed to disclose rental and business income after filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2009. They are free on $500,000 bond, but has to give up their passports and will face a trial some time in 2014. If convicted, the Giudices face up to three decades years in jail and a $1 million fine.

Charlie Sheen: Off the Hook For Gag Order Violation, "Anus Brain" Tweet

Charlie Sheen was summoned into an L.A. courtroom after tweeting insults about the judge handling his kids’ custody case, but was let off the hook. The actor called the judge “anus brain” and his former wife an “Adderall snorting husk” after Brooke Mueller’s brother Scott was awarded guardianship. Despite a gag order barring him from slamming his ex in public, or talking about the case at all for that matter, Charlie will not be prosecuted for the stunt. The judge thinks it may turn the court into even more of a “circus” and just wants things to die down. Charlie, meanwhile, wants other stuff to die. Sheen tweeted Brooke a picture of a cake with a grenade in it after Brooke lost her battle to win a restraining order keeping him from coming near her. The 48-year-old actor tweeted: “So lemme see if I got this straight …” “My twin boys are now in harm’s way and in grave danger, being ‘raised’ by a gaggle of incompetent and lascivious marionettes all ruled and fooled by an Adderall snorting husk called Brooke.” “And guess what CPS and ‘I’m Italian’ judge anus-brain ,” he went on. “You may have gagged me temporarily, but mark my unspoken words, anything happens to my boys, and you will get to know me, know who I truly am, a loving father.” Despite being warned that he faced jail if he broke the order, Sheen defiantly wrote: “If this means being jailed for loving and trying to protect my children, go for it.” “I have as many friends on the inside as I do out here. My passion WILL NOT be silenced. You are all standing in my way. I’d recommend a shift in your geography.” It is believed that Brooke Mueller, who struggled with drug abuse in the past, begged a judge for custody after Denise Richards “turned her boys against her.” It was eventually granted after she put her brother Scott forward to look after the boys. They will live with him for the time being, NOT under the same roof as Brooke. Richards who has two young daughters with Sheen, wrote a letter to the court detailing alleged behavioral problems and mood swings of Bob and Max, 4. Sheen has repeatedly accused his ex (Brooke) of endangering the kids. Charlie Sheen: Should he get custody of the kids instead?   Yes! At least he’s got it together more than Brooke! No! He’s self-obsessed and out of control! View Poll »

Dakota Johnson on Fifty Shades of Grey: Bring on the Boning!

Dakota Johnson says she knew she wanted to play Anastasia Steele in Fifty Shades of Grey even before she read the popular erotic novel trilogy. Her resolve only strengthened once she had a chance to. “I just really understand it,” Johnson said of the coveted role she’s been given. “I think it’s an incredible love story , and that’s why it’s affected so many people.” “Erica [author E.L. James] did a really good job of explaining how that can happen, you have this chemical pull to someone. The sex makes it perfect.” “Sometimes you feel a little bit naughty, and that’s okay.” The actress, whose parents are Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, says no one except her boyfriend, actor Jordan Masterson, knew she was even up for the part. When Dakota Johnson got the role, she was at a friend’s apartment. “The phone rang, and I remember looking out of this apartment to an apartment across the street.” “And I was looking at all of these people in their windows. And I thought, ‘How funny would it be if I were watching people having sex right now?'” “They said, ‘You got the offer,’ and I couldn’t speak,” she continues. “I was just so relieved. I was crying and crying. Water was literally squirting out of my eyes.” “And there’s this giant Doberman Pincher laying on the bed next to me. And he just slowly fell asleep. It was so special and [this dog] didn’t give a f–k about me.” A lot of people will give a f–k about her role as the student who begins a sexually adventurous relationship with billionaire Christian Grey ( Jamie Dornan ). The release of the much anticipated Fifty Shades of Grey movie has been pushed back to February 2015, but production begins next month in Vancouver.

Candy Crush Saga Turns One Year Old, Distracts 500 Million People!

Candy Crush Saga turns one year old today. In that time, it has been downloaded more than half a billion times and played more than 151 billion times. That’s about 200 times per download! If you’re familiar with the mobile game, you’re likely not surprised by those totals. You know you contribute to them. Candy Crush DOMINATING in Revenue, Life Its combination of strategy, cool design, vibrant colors, and availability via Android and Windows phones and tablets has fueled the Candy Crush craze . Still, its success is staggering. Why does Candy Crush Saga achieve so much, given its similarities to other time-consuming, mind-numbing distractions? Tommy Palm, head developer at King, cites humanity’s affinity for candy, color, and interesting shapes. The simpler things go a long way, apparently. Additionally, constantly updated content keeps its users engaged and addicted. After starting with just one level last year, the game has 544 as of now. When users know they can keep on playing, literally forever, there is zero impetus to put it down. Except drained batteries … which are also improving! Palm also cites social integration as a success factor, noting that 1 in 23 Facebook users “Like” the Candy Crush page, and many actively engage. It’s also free to download, which always sucks you in, even as it offers endless in-game upgrades and perks that require payment – and they get it. Heavily addicted Candy Crush-ers are reportedly forking over hardcore for those perks. CNN Money lists the company’s valuation around $5 billion. While Palm admits that “all games have a natural lifespan,” foreshadowing that even the Candy Crush Saga sugar rush will subside … not today. Or tomorrow, or next month, or probably next year. It’s just so addictive and sweet, don’t you agree? How many levels have you made it to? Discuss!

Random Ridiculousness: 20-Year-Old Sorority Girl Popped By One-Time After Police Mistake Her Sparkling Water For Beer

This doesn’t make any damn sense. Sorority Girl Wrongly Locked Up According to Mail Online A college student who was buying sparkling water, ice cream and cookie dough for a sorority fundraiser spent a night in jail after authorities mistook the bottles for a 12-pack of beer. Elizabeth Daly, a 20-year-old University of Virginia student, said she was ‘terrified’ when a group of plainclothes state Alcoholic Beverage Control agents approached her car in the dark. Having just attended an evening vigil on campus where women shared stories of their experiences with sexual assault, Miss Daly, who was with her college roommate, said she ‘panicked’ when she saw the men and drove off, before being arrested and charged with three felonies. ‘They were showing unidentifiable badges after they approached us, but we became frightened, as they were not in anything close to a uniform,’ Miss Daly, 20 recalled last week in a written account of the April 11 incident. ‘I couldn’t put my windows down unless I started my car, and when I started my car, they began yelling to not move the car, not to start the car. They began trying to break the windows. My roommates and I were … terrified,’ she explained. Police say one of the agents, who had mistaken Miss Daly’s purchase of LaCroix sparkling water from the Harris Teeter in the Barracks Road Shopping Center, for a pack of beer, jumped on the hood of her car. Miss Daly claims that one drew a gun. After fleeing the parking lot in the SUV and ‘grazing’ two of the plainclothes officers, Miss Daly said she called 911 to report the attack, and also confirm the identities of the officers. Another Alcoholic Beverage Control agent in a police vehicle pulled over the car, where Miss Daly was arrested and charged with assaulting a police officer. Charges have since been dropped against the student, with Charlottesville Commonwealth’s Attorney Dave Chapman telling The Daily Progess that ‘it wouldn’t be right’ to prosecute the case. The case is currently under review by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Bureau of Law Enforcement, a state-run agency whose mission is to safely and responsibly administer the sale and consumption of alcohol. ‘This has been an extremely trying experience,’ said Miss Daly. ‘It is something to this day I cannot understand or believe has come to this point.’ Maybe the police were trying to meet a quota…we smell a lawsuit.

Shook Ones: Residents In Predominantly Black Detroit Neighborhood Say They’re Scared To Go To Church For Fear Of Homes Being Burglarized

Detroit Residents In Crime Ridden-Neighborhood Say They Feel Like Prisoners In Their Homes A group of residents living in a crime-ridden and predominantly black Detroit neighborhood say they often feel like prisoners in their own homes and are afraid to even leave to go to church. via News One You would think going to church wouldn’t pose a security risk, but some Detroiters beg to differ. On city’s West Side, between Seven and Eight Mile Roads near Telegraph, rests a tight-knit community that has grown tired of vagrants who frequent a park near their homes. On any given day or night, street walkers], drug dealers and other trouble makers can be seen hanging out in Fargo-Fenton Playground. Too often, they leave behind syringes, liquor bottles, and used condoms, according to one resident interview by Fox 2 News Detroit. Other residents told the television station that they believe the shady people hanging around the park are connected to a string of recent home break-ins in the neighborhood–especially during church hours. Here is more of what some residents told Fox 2 about break-ins during church hours: “Come home and find that their windows have been pried open,” said a resident. “You don’t know who’s going to attack you next.” “Your hands are tied basically as a citizen. You really are at the mercy of the criminals.” “We have to defend ourselves against the criminals who want to just singly take over,” said another neighbor. “People are afraid, and they’re getting older, and the kids are now beginning to move them away.” “We’re being targeted when we go to church. Come home and everything should be fine, but when you come home and everything you’ve worked hard for is ripped apart and then you’ve got to pay to repair the damage that was done to your home, it will deter you from going because you want to try to protect what you have because no one else is going to do it for you.” This is a shame. We really have to do better….NOW.
