Brimfield Police Chief's Open Letter to Kanye West

2013-12-13T19:46:00.000-06:00

Attention seeker aka Kanye West blasted crap ignorantly as he always does but this time he got a well deserved response from Brimfield Police Department Chief David Oliver.

Oliver’s post quickly went viral, collecting more than 90,009 shares and 123,000 likes.

Kanye’s latest set of dumb statements came during an interview on the Saturday Night Online radio show where he compared himself to a soldier saying he risks his life everyday on stage to perform!! Ummm...Mr. West really??
He said "I'm just giving of my body on the stage and putting my life at risk, literally," West said. “And if I slipped … You never know. And I think about it. I think about my family and I'm like ‘Wow, this is like being a police officer or something, in war or something.’”

Police Chief Oliver decided to defend our men and women in uniform by writing the letter below:
Brimfield Police Department

Dear Kanye West,
I am honored to be writing such an important star. I am a mere Internet sensation. I’m not sure I am worthy to address you, although the Huffington Post did say I was “Humorous and Insanely Popular.” I don't pay much attention to those things. Anyway, please excuse my interference in your life for a quick second.

I read your interview and also watched it on video. You said:
...“I’m just giving of my body on the stage and putting my life at risk, literally.….and I think about it. I think about my family and I’m like, wow, this is like being a police officer or something, in war or something.”

I want to thank you for putting your life on the line for all of us every day. I know that being a rapper is tough work. I have tried to rap, and it is very difficult to keep up with the pulse of the rhyme flow…although when Ice Ice Baby comes on the radio, I can usually keep up with ol’ Vanilla. Anywho, your job is just some very dangerous work. Most people don't consider... if you rap really fast, without a chance to inhale, you could pass out and hit your head.

That last paragraph was covered in sarcasm. I’m letting you know, just so you do not think I agree with your very ignorant assessment of your career (or any other performer)as it relates to a person in the military or a police officer’s service. You sir, are as misguided as they come. I do have a suggestion for you. Since you are accustomed to danger, from your life as an international rapper, I am strongly encouraging you immediately abandon you career as a super star and join the military. After joining, I would like you to volunteer to be deployed in Afghanistan or one of the numerous other forward locations where our men an women are currently serving. When the Taliban starts shooting at you, perhaps you could stand up and let the words flow. It could be something like “I’m Kanye West, wearing a flak vest.” I’m sure they would just drop weapons and surrender. You could quite possibly end all wars, just from the enemy being star-struck.

Your line of thinking is part of the problem in the world today….which include entertainers thinking they are something more than just entertainers. I know it is supply and demand and the demand for your services is high. I get economics. What I do not get is you EVER comparing what you do for a living to our heroic military members, who are always in harm’s way… and my brother and sister police officers who have to go to work carrying weapons and wearing a bullet-proof vest to protect themselves.

Check yourself, before you wreck yourself….Chief Oliver.

....Drops the Mic! ( I added that part, lol)

2013-07-17T22:55:00.000-05:00

An Irish Taxi Driver who couldn't get to his destination because of people street dancing at Juke Nismo Party decided to join in the fun and danced to Get Lucky.

This party seems to be organized by Nissan themselves, who brought a couple of Juke Nismos stuffed with speakers to the show.
Rather than throw a tantrum or road rage, he made do with the situation and had fun. That's what life is about; turning bad situations into good ones. We should learn from him.

South Africa, Nigeria agree on visa waiver for officials

2013-06-23T14:07:00.000-05:00

South Africa and Nigeria have agreed to a visa waiver for officials of both countries. Key word being OFFICIALS not every Nigerian who wants to go 'hustle' there, lol.

The visa waiver was one of nine agreements signed between officials of both countries, during President Goodluck Jonathan’s visit to the former apartheid enclave. The other pacts cover oil and gas, power, defence and communication.

President Jacob Zuma yesterday said more than 100 South African companies were doing business in Nigeria across several industries. “To date, over 100 companies are doing business in Nigeria, with the biggest investment being in the telecommunications sector,” Zuma said in a speech to welcome Jonathan to South Africa.
“We welcome the participation of South African business in other sectors in Nigeria as well, such as engineering, construction, media, banking, retail, hospitality, oil and gas exploration and services.” Last year, South Africa received 73,282 Nigerian tourists, representing 13.8 percent increase compared with the 64,402 who visited in 2011, said Zuma. “Our records indicate that Nigerian tourists contributed a total of R720 million to the South African economy last year. To boost tourism links further, South Africa is in the process of opening a tourism office in Lagos.

James Gandolfini is dead

2013-06-19T19:40:00.000-05:00

Oh My Freaking Goodness!!!! I can't believe James Gandolfini aka Tony Soprano is DEAD!?!! I still find it hard to believe he's gone FOREVER!!

James Gandolfini aka Tony Soprano

News report:
"James Gandolfini, who played mobster Tony Soprano on HBO's seminal drama "The Sopranos," died suddenly today at the age of 51.
Gandolfini was traveling in Italy on vacation when he fell ill; conflicting reports have him suffering either a heart attack or a stroke. He is survived by his wife, Deborah Lin, and an eight-month-old daughter, Liliana, as well as a son, Michael, from a previous marriage.

HBO confirmed his death in a statement: "We're all in shock and feeling immeasurable sadness at the loss of a beloved member of our family. He was a special man, a great talent, but more importantly a gentle and loving person who treated everyone no matter their title or position with equal respect. He touched so many of us over the years with his humor, his warmth, and his humility. Our hearts go out to his wife and children during this terrible time. He will be deeply missed by all of us."

Baby Sold on Facebook

2013-04-24T22:21:00.000-05:00

A businessman in India was recently caught as he attempted to buy a stolen baby on Facebook.

The man paid 800,000 rupes, or approximately $14,749, for the child. The kidnapped baby was being sold because of actions taken by the newborn’s grandfather.

According to local authorities, Feroz Khan kidnapped his grandson from the boy’s mom in Ludhiana, Punjab, India The grandfather told his daughter that her child was stillborn. The grandfather then sold the baby to a nurse who sold the child to a lab technician.

That lab technician, Gurpreet Singh, followed up the kidnapping by posting a picture of the 3-day-old boy on Facebook. Eventually, businessman Amit Kumar offered to purchase the newborn.

The baby’s mother became suspicious when her father gave her some of the cash from the sale.
Shortly after realizing what had happened, police tracked down and arrested Khan, his accomplice, and both of the hospital employees who initially purchased the newborn child.

Kumar is also facing charges for his part in the purchase of the kidnapped baby.

According to police, Khan sold the baby because he wanted to arrange a second marriage for his daughter. The girl’s dad believed she would not find a new husband if she was already raising a child. The child’s father abandoned his family before the birth.

Khan and the two hospital employees could face up to seven years in prison if found guilty.
Sadly, this is not the first time we have reported on a child being sold on Facebook. As previously stated, a mom in the United States tried to sell her two children for a measly $4,000.

Facebook actively monitors its network for illegal activities and routinely reports those activities to local police. Story from The Inquisitr.

Venezuela turns prisons into posh resort

2013-04-03T19:01:00.001-05:00

One prison in Venezuela has turned its penal system into a party system. The notorious San Antonio prison on the Venezuelan island of Margarita opened last Thursday a nightclub for inmates compete with lights, DJs and even strippers in a purported attempt reduce violence among inmates.
Admission to the so-called “Yacht Club” is free for inmates and their guests, usually invited through social networks and smart phones. Besides the scantily clad dancers and booming beats, the 600-person capacity club also has art, a light show and -- something not common in Venezuelan prisons -- air conditioning. The San Antonio prison is allegedly run by a drug trafficker called Teofilo Rodríguez, alias "El Conejo," or "Rabbit," and the prison itself has earned a reputation across the country for being well-armed and lavishly decorated with a palm-tree lined swimming pool and a cock fighting ring, according to a report by the Latin American news website InSight Crime

Rape Victim Sentenced To 100 Lashes

2013-02-27T18:03:00.001-06:00

A 15-year-old alleged rape victim in the Maldives has been sentenced to 100 lashes and eight months under house arrest for engaging in premarital sex.

The girl admitted having consensual sex with a man in an incident unrelated to the rape.

Sex outside of marriage is illegal under the Islamic law of the island nation.

Police were investigating allegations that the girl had been raped by her stepfather when they uncovered the evidence.
The girl's stepfather is facing 25 years in prison for the rape and allegedly killing a baby conceived from it.
Despite condemnation from the UN and Amnesty International, court officials have said the flogging will be carried out once the girl turns 18.
The Maldivian government has urged the courts to show leniency towards the girl, describing her as "traumatised" by the rape.
It is not known whether the her partner will also be charged with having premarital sex.
Last September, a 16-year-old Maldivian girl was sentenced to public flogging after she confessed to premarital sex. Her partner received a 10 year prison sentence.
The Indian Ocean nation is home to almost 330,000 people, and all of its citizens belong to the Muslim faith.

The public practise of any religion other than Islam is prohibited under Maldivian law.

Janet Jackson Is Married

2013-02-25T13:45:00.003-06:00

Janet Jackson is now married!!

Janet Jackson, 46, and Qatari businessman, Wissam Al Mana, tied the knot last year, the couple's rep confirmed to PEOPLE today, Monday, Feb. 25 2013.

"The rumours regarding an extravagant wedding are simply not true," they told ET Online, which broke the official wedding news. "Last year we were married in a quiet, private, and beautiful ceremony."

The couple adds, "Our wedding gifts to one another were contributions to our respective favourite children's charities."

They further stated:

"We would appreciate that our privacy is respected and that we are allowed this time for celebration and joy," the two said in their statement, signing off, "With love, Wissam and Janet"

This is a third marriage for Jackson, 46, who was previously wed to James DeBarge and René Elizondo, Jr.

I guess congratulations are in order. :-)

Massachusetts boy's rap videos spark child abuse investigation

2013-02-25T13:28:00.000-06:00

Massachusetts authorities say they have lodged child abuse and neglect complaints against a man whose 9-year-old son appears in sexually suggestive rap videos posted online.

Police in Brockton said Sunday they are also informing state child welfare officials about the videos that feature fourth-grader Luie Rivera Jr., who goes by the stage name Lil Poopy.

Watch the video after the cut.

The videos show the boy slapping a woman's buttocks, engaging in sexually suggestive dances and glorifying drug use and materialism.

Lt. David Dickinson told The Enterprise that the videos are "a bit much for a 9-year old."
Police started investigating after a feature story on the boy appeared in the paper.
His father, Luis Rivera, said his son is simply acting and not doing anything wrong. He said he plans to contact his lawyer.

Check out the video below, the little boy isn't that much bad of a rapper, lol.

MC Hammer arrested

2013-02-24T20:34:00.000-06:00

Rapper MC Hammer launched a string of tweets Saturday with his side of the story two days after he was arrested in northern California for allegedly obstructing an officer.

Among his tweets, Hammer said, apparently referring to the arresting officer, that he was asked whether he was on parole or probation before the man tried to pull him out of his vehicle Thursday night.

Police in Dublin, east of Oakland, said Hammer was in a vehicle with expired registration and he was not the registered owner.

"After asking Hammer who the registered owner was he became very argumentative and refused to answer the officer's questions," police spokesman Herb Walters wrote Saturday evening in an e-mail to CNN. I wasn't there but I think it's BS cos Hammer said he was profiled by the officer and I believe him.

Hammer began his tweets Saturday with "chubby elvis looking dude was tapping on my car window, I rolled down the window and he said 'Are you on parole or probation?'

Oscar Pistorius' brother arrested for murder

2013-02-24T03:51:00.000-06:00

Carl Pistorius is accused in the 2010 death of a female motorcyclist, Pistorius family attorney Kenny Oldwage said. Culpable homicide refers to "unlawful negligent killing," South African police say.

Prosecutors say Carl Pistorius was driving recklessly in Vanderbijlpark, South Africa, when he crashed with the motorcyclist in the daytime. Oldwage disputes allegations that his client was driving recklessly and said the motorcyclist rode into Carl Pistorius' vehicle.

"Carl deeply regrets the accident. Blood tests conducted by the police at the time proved that he had not been under the influence of alcohol, confirming that it was a tragic road accident after the deceased collided with Carl's car," a statement from the Pistorius family said.

The motorcyclist died in a hospital a couple of days after the accident, Oldwage said.

Carl Pistorius was initially scheduled to go on trial Thursday -- during the middle of his brother's four day bail hearing.

The trial has been rescheduled for the end of March. His case could be over before his brother's murder trial is scheduled to start in June.

Carl Pistorius was a fixture at his younger brother's bail hearing last week, handing Oscar tissues as the 26-year-old sobbed uncontrollably in court.

Rihanna and Kate Moss' racy V magazine

2013-02-23T18:40:00.000-06:00

RIHANNA has termed her racy V magazine photoshoot with Kate Moss "a big deal". The singer stars in a set of saucy images with the British supermodel for V magazine.

More pics when you continue

Last November snaps from the shoot were leaked on the internet after Rihanna's Instagram account was hacked. The Barbadian beauty deleted the pictures when she realised what had happened, but says it proves how desirable they are.

"I was so bummed because I thought they were so sick. It goes to show how badly people wanted this cover. I guess it was as big a deal to them as it was to me!"

Rihanna explained to V magazine. "We received requests from all over the world for the rights to reproduce the pics, but weren't ready to give them up or the story behind them, until now."

The Diamonds singer, 25, and British fashion icon, 39, took turns stripping off for the Mario Testino shoot.

In the issue which hits news-stands on February 28, the bad girls of the music and fashion worlds pose in a sexy, S&M-themed shoot.

The publication has a dual cover, one with the supermodel being naked and the other with Rihanna unclothed.

Prince Michael Jackson lands his first job

2013-02-23T18:27:00.000-06:00

Michael Jackson’s eldest son Prince has landed the plum job as a special correspondent at "Entertainment Tonight." During an interview with his new employer, Prince said he's "looking to become well-rounded as a producer, director, screenwriter, and actor.”

The 16-year-old announced his new gig on the show during a segment Monday night, and went on to interview James Franco, Zach Braff and director Sam Raimi about their upcoming film Oz the Great and Powerful.

Prince Michael also played the role of the interviewee with Entertainment Tonight’s Brooke Anderson, his new colleague, who asked about his own relationship with his father.

“My father raised me right,” the younger Jackson replied when Anderson commented on his maturity. He went on to talk about how he often watched films with his father with the sound off, in order to better understand the moviemaking.
Now Jacko Jr. is hardly the first celeb to get by in Hollywood on his famous lineage. But has "ET" gone too far in hiring a kid whose main claim to fame is moonwalking in his father’s shadow?

Nope, I dont think so. His Dad already paved an easy way/life for him, why not take advantage of it? Lol.

Sarah Savage, Johnny Manziel’s girlfriend

2013-02-23T16:55:00.001-06:00

Sarah Savage posted a racy bikini photo on her Instagram account Thursday evening and if you didn’t hate Manziel before, you definitely do now, lol.

Savage, a model and a student at Texas A&M, added this to the bottom of the photo “Can't wait to be back on the beach #15days,” which is probably a nod to spring break. Cant wait for spring break...whoop whoop!!

Johnny Manziel who is an SEC quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner 2012 is sure having a great albeit his gf Savage. Manziel, who is taking online classes this semester to stay out of the chaos of being on campus, has posted photos of himself at NBA games, casinos and Super Bowl parties, but very few of those photos have Savage in them. Oh well. :-)

Kendra Wilkinson Baskett and Kate Gosselin on Celebrity Wife Swap

2013-02-23T16:33:00.000-06:00

Kendra Wilkinson Baskett couldn't wait to do "Celebrity Wife Swap." Then she found out who she was swapping with: Kate Gosselin, single mom to eight kids.

Kendra, who's appeared in "Playboy" and on "The Girls Next Door," is married to former NFL-er Hank Baskett and lives with him, their four-year-old son Hank IV, and a fulltime housekeeper and nanny, Rosa. Hank is very involved around the house and likes to cook for Kendra and set up her girls' nights.

When Yahoo! spoke to Kendra, she sounded positive about the experience, saying she "got so excited" about going on the show, because "I love the feeling of stepping out of your comfort zone and doing something off. I think that's the way to live your life, is to be thrown off a little bit." She was into the idea of living "in someone else's life" for a week; she's "all about the social experiments."

But as experiments go, a week with eight children is practically the Manhattan Project, and when Kendra found out whose house she was headed to, she "lost it. I wanted to run out."

She wasn't the only one, evidently; Kendra reported that "there was some tension and drama" between Kate Gosselin and Hank. She didn't want to speak for them, because she wasn't there, but it sounds like Kate doesn't entirely approve of the Basketts' laid-back lifestyle, or what Kendra describes as her "Southern California" attitude. (Or, we're guessing, of Kendra herself, who laughed that Kate didn't get "why a woman like me deserves a man like that.") We'll have to find out whether Kate passed any judgments, but we know Hank didn't sell Kendra out. "All I know is, my husband said, 'I stuck up for you.'"

Meanwhile, back at the Gosselins', Kendra was determined to make a good impression. Calling that time a "whirlwind," she told us her goal for the week: "I truly, truly wanted those eight kids to really respect me." Not to think of Kendra as a second mom, necessarily, but it took "a lot of work" to get the kids to trust her.

She's a fighter, though, she says, and she kept at it. She wanted the experience to be good for everyone, and she wanted "these kids to know me, and to know my heart" -- not least because of the trash-talk they might have heard about her posing nude, "'she's stupid,' you know, all that bad stuff that's about me."

"Every minute on the dot is something that they have to do," Kendra told us. "I was just thrown into the deep end ... like, 'Here, go cook for eight kids, now! Go, go!' I'm like, 'What? What? What do I do, where do I start?'" But she learned a lot, and she says we'll "like the outcome.

Watch the preview here:

"Celebrity Wife Swap" starts its second season Tuesday, 2/26 at 8 PM on ABC.

Kindergarten Teacher and School Nurse arrested in Murder for Hire Plot

2013-02-23T16:19:00.000-06:00

A Virginia elementary school teacher and a school nurse are facing charges in what police are calling a murder-for-hire plot.

Angela Nolen, a 47-year-old kindergarten teacher, was arrested Wednesday for allegedly plotting to hire a hit man to kill her ex-husband for $8,000. According to police, Nolen's friend 37-year-old Cathy Bennett, a school nurse, worked with Nolen to find a hit man.

According to the Franklin County Sheriff's Office, Nolen's plan unraveled when she gave a police officer, working under cover as a hit man, an up-front fee of $4,000 to kill her ex-husband, 63-year-old Paul Strickler.

Strickler, who is the father of Nolen's 7-year-old daughter, told the Roanoke Times he had been working on a deal to sell his house to Nolen.

"If I was dead, she would not have to give me the money," he told the Roanoke Times. "That scares the H-E-L-L out of me. I'm just so glad that the state police found out about this and uncovered it."

Strickler's attorney, Stephen Meddy, said his client was "distraught" when he heard about the alleged plot and that the couple's divorce proceedings had raised no red flags. Nolen had full custody of their daughter before her arrest.

According to The Franklin News-Post, Nolen had filed a protective order against her ex-husband in October 2012.

Franklin County Superintendent Mark Church, who oversees the school system where the two women work, tried to reassure parents and students that no one in the school was threatened.

Franklin County Commonwealth Attorney Tim Allen said the prosecution would ask for at least a $75,000 bond for Bennett at the school nurse's bond hearing.

Man killed on Vegas strip identified as rapper Kenny Clutch

2013-02-21T17:20:00.000-06:00

LAS VEGAS -- A rapper from Oakland who was killed in a shooting and fiery crash Thursday on the Las Vegas Strip glorified the gangsta lifestyle in his videos, but family and associates say Ken Cherry was nothing like the image he portrayed.

Cherry, 27, who rapped under the name Kenny Clutch, died after someone in a black Range Rover shot at him about 4:20 a.m. Thursday on the Las Vegas Strip, police said. The shooting started a chain-reaction crash in which two others were killed and six were wounded, police said.

Two men in a black Range Rover shot Cherry as he drove a gray Maserati down Las Vegas Boulevard early Thursday, police said.

After he was shot, Cherry accelerated down the street and sped through a red light, striking a cab at the intersection of Flamingo Road. The cab burst into flames, killing the cabdriver and a female passenger, police said.
The Clark County Coroner's Office hasn't identified the cabdriver and the woman passenger. Family members identified the driver as Michael Boldon, 62, a Michigan native who moved to Vegas about 1 1/2 years ago, and the passenger as Washington state resident Sandi Sutton.Three more cars and a utility truck collided at the crossroads, which is home to Bellagio, Caesars Palace and Bally's, leaving six other people injured as the Range Rover sped off, police said.

The crumpled gray Maserati came to rest several feet away from the incinerated taxi. Cherry was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Police said previously that they believe the violence was prompted by an earlier altercation at a hotel. Authorities are still searching for the Range Rover with dark tinted windows and custom rims that set off the fiery crash. Police said a passenger in the Maserati was cooperating with the investigation.

Clutch had three children.
