1 day ago
Trayvon Martin photos and texts were released by the defense team of George Zimmerman, painting the deceased in a less-than-flattering light.
With that, controversy surrounding the high-profile case has resumed.
Data released from Martin’s phone includes texts with a friend regarding fighting, smoking pot and being forced to move out of his mother’s house.
Martin, who was killed last year at age 17, spoke of trouble at school. His phone contained photos of a gun and what looks to be a marijuana plant.
A hearing next week will decide if the data can be used at the trial of

6 days ago
Bradley Cooper is still stuck in a 70′s look gone really wrong as he continues filming his latest movie. It used to be called the Untitled David O. Russell Project and ‘Abscam’: now it’s called ‘American Hustle.’ Co-star Amy Adams is rocking the 70s style, too, but it’s not as bad for her. Well, it’s not as bad for her hair-wise. Style-wise… yikes, can a neckline GO much lower? LOL Jennifer Lawrence, Christian Bale, Jeremy Renner, and Robert De Niro also star in this movie. Here’s what it’s about:
The 1970s-set true story of a con artist and his partner in crime, who were forced to work

The Hangover Part III Trailer: NSFW!
1 week ago
The new The Hangover Part III red band trailer is here!
It looks a lot like today’s Last Vegas trailer, only with young people (that’s a joke).
The first part of the trailer is a recap of the first two films, though that mostly consists of Zach Galifianakis’ Wolfpack speech and a naked Ken Jeong. Take a look:
The Hangover Part III Trailer – Red BandGalifianakis returns along with Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Justin Bartha for the final installment of the raunchy comedy franchise.
This time, they are forced by a crime boss to return to Vegas and find Chow.

Amy’s Baking Company Blames Facebook Rant on Hackers, No One Buying It
1 week ago
The Facebook page of an Arizona bakery became a national story after the owners of Amy’s Baking Company were featured on Gordon Ramsay’s FOX show.
But the insane-seeming duo now says they had nothing to do with the EPIC rants that followed their Kitchen Nightmares appearance, which was ridiculed online.
Instead, they’re playing the “hacking” card.
The couple’s behavior on the show was beyond bad – it was even too much for Ramsay, who walked out before renovations in the May 10 episode.
The Scottsdale, Ariz., establishment was accused of stealing tips from employees, selling

Arizona Cop Gives Bike to Kid Who Walks Nine Miles to Work
1 week ago
Phoenix, Ariz., police officer Natalie Simonick recently spotted a teenager who was walking down the street in a desolate neighborhood late at night.
When she asked him what he was doing, Christian Felix, 18, said he missed the bus, so he was walking the nine miles home from his job at McDonald’s.
Simonick, 46, offered him a ride home, and became increasingly impressed. Felix didn’t drink or smoke, and had never been in trouble with the police.
She asked why he didn’t ride a bike home, and when he replied that he didn’t own a bike, and had never learned to ride one, she gave him

AP, IRS and Benghazi Scandals: Will They Torpedo Obama Administration Agenda?
1 week ago
President Barack Obama finds himself dealing with three separate scandals in a confluence of events that could threaten his second-term agenda.
He was already in damage control mode and trying to dismiss GOP criticism of his administration’s handling of September’s deadly Benghazi attacks.
Now, the Internal Revenue Service has been under scrutiny for targeting conservative groups – a surprising admission that Obama vocally criticized.
And meanwhile, a third scandal erupted after the Associated Press revealed that the Justice Department had secretly obtained its phone

O.J. Simpson Requests New Trial, Claims Lawyer Botched Robbery Case
1 week ago
O.J. Simpson made his request for a new trial today, claiming the lawyer who represented him in his kidnapping and robbery case screwed him over.
Guy will seriously never go away it seems.
Simpson appeared in court wearing a blue jail uniform; his hair was shorter and grayer than it was during a previous court appearance in 2008.
He’s also not wasting away in jail. Just saying. Guy must have the premium meal plan in there or something, because wow. Letting himself go.
Anyway, he entered the courtroom in handcuffs, flanked by security guards and nodded and raised his eyebrows to

Gun Violence Declining in U.S. While People Think It’s Rising, Studies Suggest
2 weeks ago
Gun violence has actually plunged in the U.S. since its peak in the middle of the 1990s, according to two new studies of government data.
At the same time, a majority of Americans believe it is on the rise.
Gun crime statistics are comprised of murders, assaults, robberies and other crimes, and the Pew Research Center found that they’re down overall.
In less than two decades, the gun murder rate has been nearly cut in half, their research suggested, while other gun crimes fell even more sharply.
This parallels a broader drop in violent crimes committed with or without guns,

Jodi Arias convicted of first-degree murder: will she get the death penalty?
2 weeks ago
You know how I really don’t like to cover the true-crime stuff, right? I guess I’m missing that (oh so American) gene of “enjoying the minutiae of endless, highly publicized court cases”. But we covered some of the Amanda Knox stuff, so let’s talk about Jodi Arias. Jodi Arias was accused of killing her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander in a really excessively brutal murder in 2008. Jodi’s story changed several times, but during her trial, she settled into a version of the story in which she admitted killing Alexander, but she claims it was self-defense because he was abusing her.
Well,

Hero neighbor who saved kidnapped girls: give them reward money, I have a job
2 weeks ago
Yesterday we saw the amazing, sad but funny interview with Charles Ramsey, the Cleveland man who is being lauded as a hero for rescuing three kidnapped women and a child being held captive in his next door neighbor’s home. Ramsey described to a news crew how he kicked out the front door of the home belonging to his next door neighbor, Ariel Castro, after he heard a woman screaming and begging to get out. The woman came out with a young daughter and told him that she was trapped there, and that her name was Amanda Berry. It didn’t occur to Charles until he called 911 that Amanda Berry was
