Crimes and Misdemeanors

WILL THE REAL OSCAR PISTORIUS PLEASE STAND UP

Photo: Facebook
The case against Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius gets more powerful every day. The prosecution says that on the night he shot his girlfriend, neighbors allegedly heard the sound of a woman screaming. Silence followed, and then gunshots. And more screams. Oscar’s claim that he didn’t know that Reeva Steenkamp was in his bathroom and thought he was shooting a intruder, gets flimsier every day. The athlete’s testosterone fueled arrogance and jealousy destroyed two lives and we predict in the light of such evidence against him, he will make some sort of deal. It would be gratifying to finally hear him tell the truth.

Crimes and Misdemeanors David Bowie Marijuana Mugshot

DAVID BOWIE IN HIS “GOLDEN YEARS”

This is not an album cover – it’s a mug shot! One of the best ever. In 1976 David Bowie, 28, was on his Thin White Duke tour in America and enjoying the success of his hit “Golden Years.” When he arrived in Rochester, New York, he and Iggy Pop were arrested for possession of half a pound of marijuana. David pleaded “not guilty” and was described as very polite. Don’t know the outcome, but the show in Rochester DID go on…

Crimes and Misdemeanors Emmanuelle Seigner Equal Rights Roman Polanski Women

ROMAN POLANSKI HAS A REAL PROBLEM WITH WOMEN

As if Roman Polanski weren’t revolting enough – he is now in Cannes declaring that equality for women is “purely idiotic.” He goes on to say that the birth control pill “masculinizes women and chases away romance.”(THIS from a man who admitted to having unlawful sex with a 13 year old minor!) Like some old curmudgeon he smugly implies that men won’t open doors or buy flowers for women who are equal. As if equal pay and rights have ANYTHING to do with romance or manners! (Above, Polanski, 79, and his wife Emmanuelle Seigner, 46, who towers above him, in spite of his shoe lifts.)

Crimes and Misdemeanors Lawsuit Murder Robert Blake

ROBERT BLAKE: GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER ISN’T ALL IT’S CRACKED UP TO BE

Like OJ, Robert Blake was acquitted of murdering his nefarious wife Bonny Lee Bakley, but found guilty when her family filed a wrongful death lawsuit. (Remember, Bonny was a hustler who married at least 10 times.) It’s now twelve years since Bakley was shot, and a settlement was finally reached. According to the National Enquirer, former Baretta star Blake, 79, is supposed to pay Bakley’s children around two million dollars. How he‘ll come up with the money is questionable – he doesn’t work. Blake is a sad and solitary figure often photographed having coffee alone at Starbucks in his neighborhood.

Crimes and Misdemeanors Paul Hogan Taxes

PAUL HOGAN SAYS HIS ACCOUNTANT STOLE $35 MILLION DOLLARS THAT HE HAD HIDDEN

We were amused to see that Crocodile Dundee star Paul Hogan got caught hiding 34 million dollars in a Swiss bank account to avoid paying taxes when his financial advisor stole it all! According to The Huffington Post, the Australian actor’s sneaky tax evasion backfired when his co-conspirator accountant absconded with the funds. The accountant’s tax firm is linked to the biggest tax evasion scheme in Australia, and Hogan has been dragged into it. Paul probably isn’t sweating it – last time the tax collector nabbed him (3 years ago) he owed a staggering $150 million in taxes and penalties!

Behind the Candelabra Crimes and Misdemeanors Liberace Scott Thorson

LIBERACE’S EX-BOYFRIEND SCOTT THORSON IS SITTING IN JAIL

Leave it to the Enquirer to dig up some dirt on Liberace’s boyfriend Scott Thorson right before the HBO movie “Behind the Candelabra” is scheduled to air in May. Thorson was Liberace’s boyfriend and wrote the book about Liberace on which the movie is based. He might be in jail when the movie airs – but not for drugs this time. Thorson (who now uses the name Jess Marlowe) was arrested in Reno after he “found” a wallet containing credit cards and promptly used them to run up bills all around town. Thorson, who is suffering from anal cancer, says the “Candelabra” cast and crew ignored him when he visited the set. (Above, Scott Thorson’s mug shot)

Booze Crimes and Misdemeanors Gerard Depardieu Scooter

GERARD DEPARDIEU NO LONGER HAS THE OOH LA LA FACTOR

Former French ladies man Gerard Depardieu, 63, was arrested in Paris for falling off his scooter in a drunken stupor. We’ve always been a fan and it’s alarming how he seems to be neglecting his health. He was also arrested a few months ago for punching another driver after a scooter collision. Of course, last year he was nabbed on Air France for peeing in the aisle when he wasn’t allowed to use the bathroom during take-off. This former leading man has indulged himself into playing character roles.

Crimes and Misdemeanors Gay Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Honey Boo Boo Uncle Poodle

HONEY BOO BOO’S UNCLE POODLE IS NOT A REDNECK GAY ROLE MODEL

Honey Boo Boo made her gay uncle Marvin Lee Thompson, 29, famous overnight because she dubbed him “Uncle Poodle.” Alana “Honey Boo Boo” has always been surrounded by gays in the beauty pageant business and she affectionately calls them “Poodles.” Lee is the younger brother of Alana’s dad “Sugar Bear” and surprisingly, he has a rap sheet to match his redneck family! Leave it to The Enquirer to dig up FIVE mug shots of Uncle Poodle from various crimes like credit card fraud, theft, and driving offenses. Uncle Poodle may be somewhat better groomed than his redneck family, but he has the same bad habits.

Book Crimes and Misdemeanors Rape Roman Polanski Samantha Geimer Tell Alls

ROMAN POLANSKI’S RAPE VICTIM IS WRITING A BOOK AND IT’S ABOUT TIME

#romanpolanski #janetcharlton

Can’t imagine why it took so long, but the woman who was raped by the loathsome Roman Polanski in 1977 when she was 13 has signed a deal to write a book about the appalling story. Samantha Geimer has publicly “forgiven” Polanski in the past but many people are still appalled by the details of the crime. “Rosemary’s Baby” director Polanski plied an aspiring 13 year old with champagne and quaaludes and raped her at Jack Nicholson’s house. Granted, this happens in Hollywood all too often, but she was THIRTEEN. Polanski was indicted on 6 felony counts and ended up serving only 42 days in prison for “psychiatric observation.” When he was released, he feared further punishment and fled back to France. What was WRONG with the legal system in those days? Who got paid off for all this leniency? Hopefully Samantha and her lawyer, who’s collaborating with her, will point the finger of guilt where it belongs.

Crimes and Misdemeanors Murder Obese TLC Weight

FEARLESS TLC IS TAKING IT ONE STEP BEYOND: CAN YOUR STOMACH BEAR IT?

#halftonkiller #janetcharlton

The National Enquirer should be ashamed. TLC has stolen their sensational tabloid investigation ideas and they are building a hugely successful (if somewhat tasteless) network on it. The Enquirer should have had a tabloid network of their own YEARS ago. We thought Honey Boo Boo and the siamese twins Abby and Brittany were startling, but this new special “Half-Ton Killer,” telling the story of a grotesquely obese woman charged with squashing a little girl is beyond belief. Be warned: this is a scary video
