Charlie Sheen’s Car Stolen And Crashed

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comFebruary 5, 2010 //

You are looking at Charlie Sheen‘s SUV crashed 100 feet below Mulholland Drive. No, Charlie was not in the car at the time. At 4 a.m. this morning, he got a call from OnStar saying that the vehicle had crashed and the airbags opened. Charlie had a security guard check, and—shocker—the car had, in fact, been stolen. Luckily, no one was in it when it crashed—the fire department checked with an infrared light. Which means that we’re able to joke about the situation. I’m kind of imagining Denise Richards putting a rock on the gas pedal and laughing while it flew past the guard rail. Or maybe a cousin of Brooke Mueller’s is to blame? Today is the day Charlie’s being charged with felony menacing and misdemeanor assault after allegedly holding a knife to Brooke’s throat. [TMZ] Keep reading »

Male Model Accused Of Offering Sex To Cops

Lauren PanarielloFebruary 5, 2010 //

It turns out that women aren’t the only ones who try to weasel their way out of a ticket. Nick Snider, who was Forbes’ 5th most successful male model in 2008, was arrested on Monday in Arkansas after drunkenly causing a domestic disturbance. Once in the patrol car (after he informed the arresting officers that he was “a very famous model”), Snider told one of the deputies, “If you stop I’ll suck your d**k and balls if you let me go.” As if this wasn’t bad enough, the Prada model continued to offer oral sex in exchange for his release to the booking jailer. Snider was charged with three misdemeanors, including attempting to illegally influence a public servant. Take it from the ladies, Nick: next time just start crying. [Huffington Post] Keep reading »

5 Reasons To Fear Teenage Girls

adminFebruary 2, 2010 //

Yesterday, 15-year-old Tylar Witt pleaded not guilty to murdering her mother, Joanne Witt, last June in Northern California. The teenage girl says she was insane when she drugged her mother and boyfriend, 20-year-old Steven Colver, and stabbed her mom 20 times before slitting her throat. Apparently, Joanne had brought Tylar’s diary to the sheriff’s department, using it as evidence to accuse Colver of statutory rape. [People]

It’s not often that a 15-year-old girl is on trial for murder. And I say there is something especially scary about that—maybe because I’ve been a teenage girl and remember how scary girl fights were and how brutal mean girls could be. After the jump, a few other murderous teenage girls. Keep reading »

Help Put The Butt Bandit Behind Bars

Ami AngelowiczDecember 23, 2009 //


OK, I’m still trying to get over my disgust of foot fetishes, but getting off on sniffing a stranger’s butt? Grosser than gross. A man in the U.K. is wanted by authorities for repeated counts of aggravated butt-sniffing. The “butt bandit” (that’s my new name for him) stalks his victims in grocery store aisles and while they are comparing labels, he silently brings nose to ass for a sniff. Noooo! Watch him in action as he is caught committing multiple acts of butt-sniffery on this supermarket surveillance tape. The “butt bandit” is considered armed (with a nose) and dangerous to all unsuspecting butts no matter size, shape, gender, or smelliness. This behavior is OK for dogs, but not at all for humans.

Grand Theft Fashion: Heiress Casey Johnson Accused Of Burglarizing Model’s Home

Jessica GoldbergDecember 1, 2009 //

Model Jasmine Lennard came home to her Hollywood home after six weeks away to find her apartment trashed, her closet and jewelry box ransacked, and a used vibrator in her bed. Nice, right? Especially after all the cautionary stories about celebrity burglary victims lately. Then Jasmine got a text from her friend, Courtenay Semel. “There’s a problem, Jaz. Casey Johnson just got into bed with me and she is wearing your underwear …You need to call police. There are documents here, your shoes and your clothing—you need to call the police.”

Casey Johnson is a semi-boldfaced name — heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune and daughter of New York Jets owner Robert Wood “Woody” Johnson. She’s made herself a gossip column fixture for accusing her aunt of seducing her boyfriend and having a fiery relationship with her on-and-off-again girlfriend Courtenay, who once set fire to her hair.

Diapered Astronaut Gets Slap On Wrist In Court

Jessica GoldbergNovember 11, 2009 //

Remember Lisa Nowak, the astronaut turned would-be kidnapper? She stole a car to race to Florida, wearing a diaper so she wouldn’t have to stop since she was in such a hurry to put on a wig and mace her romantic rival, Air Force Captain Colleen Shipman. Well, Lisa just went to court. She originally faced felony charges, like attempted kidnapping, which could have gotten her life in prison, but the charges were reduced to misdemeanor battery and burglary of an automobile. And a judge also took it easy on her, only sentencing Lisa to a year of probation and requiring her to send an apology letter to Colleen, promising to stay far, far away. Colleen is now married to the man Lisa attacked her over, and since the happy couple lost their jobs in the fallout from the incident, they moved to Alaska to freelance. All’s well that ends well?

A Convicted Sex Offender Tells His Side Of The Story In Vanity Fair

Nikki DowlingNovember 5, 2009 //

The December issue of Vanity Fair contains a pretty shocking article called “A Crime Of Shadows.” The piece is about a convicted sex offender named “J” who was coaxed by Pennsylvania detective Michele Deery into meeting for sex in a parking lot. While this is not a crime, Deery had posed in a chat room as “Heather,” a mother with two kids and she made it very clear to J that she wanted her young children—who she said were ages 8 and 11—to be involved. Deery and J had quite a lot of nasty back-and-forth before their meeting, where a bunch of cops, not a mother and her two kids, showed up and slapped J with a slew of charges, landing him time in prison. But what about his side of the story? That’s what this piece focuses on. Keep reading »

Car Crashes Into Couple’s Bedroom While They Sleep

Ami AngelowiczOctober 29, 2009 //

What is the worst possible way to be woken up from your slumber at 4 a.m.? By a car crashing into your bed! No, this is not a cockamamie plot from a Hollywood action film; this is a real-life nightmare. Last week, University of Nevada students Kristin Palmer and Trent Wood were sleeping soundly when they were awoken by a car crashing through their bedroom window. At first they thought it was an earthquake, but soon discovered it was a car when they were engulfed in motor fluid and metal. Fearing an explosion or permanent paralyzation, they waited anxiously at first, and then they tried to stay calm while emergency workers freed them with chainsaws. Miraculously, they were able to wiggle out from under the car and did not sustain any serious injuries. How? They say they owe it to the saggy-ness of their bed—it prevented their bodies from being crushed.
