It is very disappointing that the entire Amanda Bynes situation has continued to play out for as long as it has. This is not a person who cannot afford help. She has amassed a $5.7 Million fortune. She has been in a treatment facility. She has been to court. She continues to walk the streets of LA living off of gift cards that her parents deliver to a court-appointed lawyer. She has no power. She cannot even hire an attorney to defend her. And still she continues to draw headlines still.
Republican Congressman Cries Foul in Virginia Elections
In a story run by the Huffington Post, Republican Scott Rigell explains his case. The issue is that he seems to think that the electronic voting machines are rigged. Whether they are or not, the time to cry foul over rigged ballots was back when Al Gore, the snore was running against whatshisbucketplucket. You might remember the dimpled chads. It was highly thought, back then, that the election was rigged. We certainly did not hear any Republican complaining in 2008 that there might have been a problem with the election. Even the State Department of Elections has stated that they have received complaints from the dear sweet Republican Rigell’s office than from voters in Virginia. Speaking of over using public resources it would be nice if this much energy went into balancing the national budget or providing resources to deal with Ebola. Squeaky Wheel or just a cry baby? You decide.
Atlanta Braves Dynamic Due Join Together in Winning the Golden Glove Awards
Major League Baseball welcomed Jason Heyward and Andrelton Simmons into the Golden Glove winners club. The awards for both of these outstanding players continue to be impressive. Last week the dynamic duo took home Fielding Bible Awards too. Whether you are an Atlanta Braves fan or not celebrate the achievement of two players who have kept their noses clean and continue to advance the art of baseball. In a year where major league sports has been stained with spousal abuse, racism, and social crimes like shoplifting, it is nice just to celebrate a pair of guys who got it all right.
Selena Gomez STUNS FANS: Anything for Attention Singer Calls Police for Invisible Intruder
Seriously in the land of modern technology songstress Selena Gomez reports possible intruder for the third time. Fed up police tell the spaced out Gomez to just lock your door. The problem starts when Gomez returns home to find her front door unlocked. In a panic, because drama sells, she calls the PD insisting someone is in her mansion. When the police respond they find nobody there. Nothing is missing. No sign of forced entry. Um hello! The fourth time and there will be a fourth time because drama sells, should cost her $1M in fines. How crazy can you be if you cannot remember to lock your door in the LA area? The mega songstress should hire a doorman.
NASCAR SHOCKING BRAWL: Brad Keselowski Gets Clocked by Jeff Gordon
Yesterday at the AAA Texas 500 Keselowski tried to take it three wide coming out of a caution and clipped Jeff Gordon’s 24 car. The result was a spin-out and yet another caution. This is the second week in a row that Keselowski has been involved in some sort of altercation following an NASCAR race. Last week Matt Kenseth tried to clean Keselowski’s clock too. The overly aggressive Miller Lite driver, Brad Keselowski needs to take a chill pill. We all understand that this is a sport and that the stakes are high. There is also driver etiquette and going three wide from white to green is not the way to make friends at NASCAR especially when you are not on the last lap of the race. -15 for Keselowski.
Psychotic Amanda Bynes Loose on Hollywood Streets – Breaking News
Released into the custody of her parents, Amanda Bynes escapes and has been spotted roaming the streets of Hollywood. Bynes was recently an inpatient in a psych facility, but despite rumors remains under the conseratorship of her parents.
That is a sad situation because Amanda Bynes claimed that her father had molested her. There have been no immediate details about whether those claims are true or not. What is clear is that Amanda hates her parents, and those are the only two people who have stood in the way of her lunatic rampage. Is she dangerous? Probably. She is reported to be delusional. She was in an LA court today to plead her case that the conservatorship be removed. Because she has been deemed medically unfit to care for herself, the poor girl was not able to hire a lawyer.
RN Kaci Hickox Flaunts Public Welfare Over Potential Ebola Infection
While Kaci Hickox has remained negative for Ebola, she is not out of the woods. The virus is known to lay dormant and appear up to 21 days after contact with a host. Despite her medical background as a Registered Nurse, Hickox continues to do as she pleases, including going for a bike ride in Maine.
Actors and Degrees – Shocking News
Ask anyone about their favorite actor, and of course they’ll almost certainly be able to relate what their current gig is, who they’re dating, married to or divorced from, any scandals they’ve been involved in recently, and a myriad other personal details. But ask about their fave performer’s academic credentials and the result will likely be a blank look. That’s because people assume, if they think about it at all, that a professional actor’s academic training will have been in the field of, well, acting. Maybe at the NYC High School for the Performing Arts or the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
But the truth is that many famous thespians have degrees in fields that are about as far removed from acting as can be. Here six stars of the silver screen with surprising college degrees.
Celebrities Often Have Backgrounds You’d Never Have Guessed
Amelia Earhart Mystery SOLVED – Breaking News
The fate of aviatrix Amelia Earhart has fascinated investigators and historians since she and her navigator Fred Noonan disappeared without a trace over the Pacific Ocean in 1937, on the last leg of a historic round-the-world flight.
Now new evidence has been found which adds credence to one of the leading theories of what happened to the pair.
The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery, or TIGHAR, a group which has been investigating the mystery for years, has reported the discovery on a tiny atoll called Nikumaroro of a square of aluminum sheeting that they say most likely came from Earhart’s Lockheed Electra aircraft.
Joan Rivers Murdered? – Shocking NEW Evidence
While no charges have been filed, the daughter of the late Joan Rivers, Melissa Rivers has retained powerhouse legal eagles to set the stage for a lawsuit that will be filed next month. The lawsuit is expected to be a medical malpractice case pitting the lawyer against lawyer in what could turn out to be a case worth millions of dollars. Personally, the late Joan Rivers was so consumed with surgery that her estate should be paying the doctors for the opportunity to die in the place she apparently loved the most, the surgical ward at a surgical clinic. Over the years, the poor woman’s face has been twerked more times than Miley Cyrus. The two, Joan and Melissa have always reminded me of two show business orphans, destined to do the more deplorable work to find enough food to eat. I was not a fan. Frankly, the whole case should be laughed out of court. When you have as many surgeries as Joan has had, the risks are there.
Glee Star Jane Lynch: Gives Up Half in Divorce Court – Breaking Entertainment News
Jane Lynch and Lara Embry’s lesbian marriage came to an abrupt end in divorce court as ex wife Embry walks away with millions. The public document for their property settlement lists the spoils of war. This was one of the first same-sex-divorces of this calibre to end it divorce. Just like with straight couples, the other half gets half. Half of the bank account, half of retirement, half of the royalties from shows such as Glee. Oddly, Lara Ebry is a psychologist so you would think that the couple would have wanted to work out the issues of their hard won marriage before just dividing assets.
Amanda Bynes Court Ordered to Remain in Psych Hospital – Family SHOCKER
The 72-hour stay was extended for two weeks, and now her psychologists have asked for a court order to keep her as an inpatient for another 30 days. That has not stopped Amanda from trying to leave. She wants out, but her doctors have all the goods, and the judge agreed that poor Ms Bynes is too mental to be responsible enough to take care of herself. Now, it gets a little crazy. The parents had a court ordered conservatorship over Amanda. This would be the same parents, as in the dad, who Amanda claims sexually molested her. Thankfully, her parents have declined to seek another conservatorship over Amanda. That means that it is likely that the poor thing will be institutionalized for quite some time. What is an actress to do? I wonder if Angelina Jolie is following this case?
Ray & Janay Rice Halloween SHOCKER – Classless Costumes Being Made
Fall is in the air and it’s a welcome, refreshing change from the hot, scorching summer of yesterday. Pumpkin lattes, fall festivals, and football frenzy are in the air. Many are welcoming cooler temperatures and watching the changing of the leaves. Fall is certainly a welcomed change.
However, something else is in the air, and the stench of it threatens to spoil this season’s festivities. As many gear up to celebrate Halloween, choosing the perfect costume or pumpkin to carve, mapping out their favorite trick-or-treat route, or scheming to prank friends and family, other traditions are being spun, and, quite frankly, those choosing to participate in this manner are showing a level of maturity lower than that of a unharvested sweet potato.
Kurt Sutter Sons Of Anarchy Star – BREAKING MEDICAL UPDATE

The news broke as Kurt instagrammed photos of his rebellious appendix. He is said to be recovering well and will likely be released in a day or two. This medical emergency is not expected to interrupt shooting for Sons of Anarchy.
Mama June SHOCKER: “I Love A Child Molester So What”
By David Stillwell
As the news for this continues to break, TLC cancelled the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo show because of reports that Mama June was dating a convicted child molester. What is wrong with mothers? I thought that a mom’s first responsibility was to her children’s protection. Apparently that is not true in the Honey Boo Boo household. The famous child star has been exposed to one of the lowest and vilest of criminals, a child molester. Seriously, the Child Protective Services needs to get involved before this man involves himself with Honey Boo Boo.
Governor Chris Christie Frees Kaci Hickox from Ebola Prison – New Jersey Political News
So two things. First, is this the vision of what anyone who is suspected of being at risk for Ebola is prone to undergo? Second, where is the line drawn between patient rights and public safety?
Kaci Hickox is a nurse who works with Doctors Without Borders and who has been treating patients who have Ebola in Sierra Leone. After returning to the US nurse, Hickox was detained and quarantined for three days in an isolation tent inside of a New Jersey hospital, according to the New York Times.

The World Without Old Blue Eyes: The Legend of Frank Sinatra

“I detest bad manners. If people are polite, I am. They shouldn’t try to get away with not being polite to me.”— Francis Albert Sinatra
May 14th, 2014, marked the 16th anniversary of the passing of Music Icon Francis Albert Sinatra at the age of 82. As an avid fan who grew up to the sounds and stories of Sinatra from my late Father, Alvin Berkwitt, who collected his albums, worked rooms that he played at the Fountainbleau Hotel on Miami Beach, and watched all of his movies, I didn’t learn to really appreciate what Frank did for the world. It would hit me on my 22nd year on Planet Earth back in 1990, while stationed in Italy, and it hit me like a ton of bricks.
