Crimes and Misdemeanors

GEORGE SANTOS: DENY EVERYTHING AND FORGE AHEAD!

 

Sometimes we just can’t resist a good piece of political gossip and let’s face it, disgraced NY Congressman George Santos seems to always have something new for us  to dish about.  According to a Washington DC source, George’s latest scheme is a real doozy. As the ethics committee wades through his alleged and  numerous crimes, George is prepared to SWITCH political parties from Republican to Democrat in a last ditch effort to save his seat! George’s reasoning is as convoluted as his resume, but the source explains George feels he might be able to hold onto his seat with his “plan.”

WILLIAM H MACY DODGED A BULLET

Can you IMAGINE what’s been going on at the home of Shameless star William H Macy and his wife Felicity Huffman since the college admission cheating scandal broke? For unknown reasons, William was not charged and he’s probably been waiting for the other shoe to fall. So far Felicity has pled guilty and could still serve up to 10 months in prison, but most likely less. Since prosecutors consider the amount of money involved in the crime, Felicity’s $15,000 is significantly less than Lori Loughlin’s $500,000, so things are looking grim for Loughlin. Macy celebrated his freedom by stocking up on plants and potting soil at his local nursery.

LORI LOUGHLIN’S “RICH PEOPLES PROBLEMS” JUST GOT WORSE!

Lori Loughlin looked very cute and composed for her first appearance before the judge in a federal courthouse in Boston today. Her charges, of course, are that she bribed and cheated to get her daughter admitted to elite colleges. (Felicity Huffman wore a black suit and looked a bit less confident.) Lori cannot leave the country and she has lost her development deal at Lifetime, but the REALLY bad news is that her odds of doing time in prison for her crime are getting higher. She COULD be sentenced to 5 years for her felonies, but it’s predicted that she is most likely to serve from 6 months to 2 years. Prosecutors want to set an example and treat her like a criminal of average means.

BELLA HADID: FATHER DOESN’T ALWAYS KNOW BEST

Real estate developer Mohamed Hadid might not be the nice guy you thought he was. Being the father of two of the most spectacular models – Bella Hadid (above) and Gigi Hadid – has brought him considerable notoriety. But now he’s had criminal charges filed against him for repeatedly ignoring LA’s zoning and planning rules while building a gargantuan mega-mansion in Bel-Air that has the neighbors furious. The house is too big and too tall and hangs over the edge of a hill, threatening the houses below. Wealthy developers have been flaunting the rules and using teams of lawyers to stall court proceedings for the past decade or so. We suspect there’s plenty of payola going on too. Right now the fate of the 100 million dollar-plus mansion is up in the air, as is Hadid’s freedom.

AMY WINEHOUSE’S LOW-LIFE EXHUSBAND IS IN TROUBLE AGAIN

Remember Amy Winehouse’s attractively sleazy ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil? Just as you suspected, he probably IS bad to the bone. Even Amy admitted that her blind love for Blake “didn’t do her any favors.” (He introduced her to heroin.) Blake, 34, is still up to no good. Currently he’s on the run from the cops. He skipped bail after being accused of stealing a barmaid’s purse at a Leeds pub. He was identified on the security camera.

NICK GORDON MUST BE SHAKING IN HIS BOOTS

The sad story of Bobbi Kristina Brown is finally over. Wait a minute- no- it’s definitely NOT over. In fact, the investigation into her opportunistic boyfriend’s involvement is just beginning. Nick Gordon has been accused of roughing Kristina up and stealing her money. Was he involved in her death? We’re guessing that police don’t have a lot of proof or he’d already be charged with something. The autopsy might reveal all. The Browns and the Houstons want justice. Certainly, probing crime shows like Dateline or 20-20 will be documenting every lurid detail. (Above, Bobbi Kristina and her dad Bobby Brown in happier times)

JUDD APATOW IS NO FAN OF BILL COSBY – AND YOU SHOULDN’T BE EITHER!

Is producer/director
Judd Apatow the last decent guy in Hollywood? He is certainly OUR hero of the day. When Eddie Murphy refused to play Bill Cosby in an unflattering skit on the Saturday Night Live special, SOME people were actually impressed! Piers Morgan DID express admiration on Twitter for Eddie “not wanting to kick Cosby when he’s down.” Judd Apatow slammed them both saying “That’s not loyalty- it’s choosing to support a rich rapist over 30 victims.” And when Cosby tweeted a thank you to Eddie for his support, Apatow wrote “It’s important that when our friends rape people that we support them and do not mock them for raping.” We say THANK YOU, Judd Apatow!

TERESA GUIDICE: IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE!

Real-Housewivesterecut

Why did Teresa Giudice check into federal prison in the middle of the night? Clearly, she didn’t want paparazzi to catch her without her heavy makeup, false eyelashes, and fake hair. It’s quite possible that the table-flipping reality star will learn NOT to act on her impulses while she’s locked up. And she’ll observe how the other half lives, up close. So it won’t be time wasted. We’re guessing that the other inmates will find her quite entertaining and treat her like a celebrity if she doesn’t whine too much. If ONLY they allowed reality TV cameras in prison!

MARK WAHLBERG SAYS HE WANTS TO BE A ROLE MODEL

Mark Wahlberg wants to be pardoned for an assault that landed him in jail when he was 16, presumably because he is reformed. But that might not be the case. While high on drugs, Wahlberg whacked a Vietnamese man in the head with a heavy stick in an attempt to steal two cases of beer he was carrying, in his Massachusetts hometown. He was also verbally and racially abusive. It turns out the man did not lose an eye from the beating, but Mark served 45 days in jail. He was a bully. Now he wants the incident removed from his record, but he has never apologized to his victim. Actually Mark wants the felony removed because he wants to open a chain of restaurants (Wahlburgers) with his brothers, and some states won’t allow felons to do so. So maybe he hasn’t changed all that much.

BILL COSBY HAS THE ENQUIRER ON HIS SIDE

92781PCN_Cosby07(1)cut

Stephen Collins must be thrilled that Bill Cosby’s sex scandal came along and knocked him off the front pages. Collins was fired from a movie, lost a role on the hit show Scandal, and even reruns of his series 7thHeaven were discontinued (and all the actors are losing residuals.) Sad, but his own taped confession destroyed his career. Collins will not be prosecuted for his “crimes” because the statute of limitations has expired. The same law holds true for Cosby, because these now-mature women are claiming he violated them when they were young actresses. Stories about Cosby taking sexual advantage of young women have been circulating since the 70’s. Back in the day, The Enquirer made a deal with Bill – they wouldn’t write about the women if he would cooperate and give them scoops and exclusive interviews. Hence, we’re betting The Enquirer will present Cosby’s side of the story.
