NJ School Trying To Fire Crystal Gunns


ABCNews.com:
An aide at a New Jersey elementary school and a local YMCA is described by one parent as "an excellent role model," but others say someone who played the roles the woman has shouldn't be working with young children.

It turns out that Louisa Tuck, a cafeteria and playground aide at D'Ippolito Elementary School in Vineland, N.J., used to be an adult film star who went by the name of Crystal Gunns.

She was hired as a part-time aide in June, but school officials learned about her past only recently.

When district officials found out, according to ABC News Philadelphia affiliate WPVI-TV, they talked to their lawyers about what they could do but they were told they didn't have any cause to fire her.

A district lawyer reportedly said that there was nothing illegal about Tuck's Web site, photo spreads and movies.

Nothing illegal? Anyone in New Jersey ever heard of child endangerment? I mean this woman is literally nude all over the internet. I'm all for anyone whose serious about making up for past mistakes, but if she's sincere why would she choose to work around kids?

Myanmar Court Gives Comedian 45 Years For Helping Cyclone Relief


AP:
Myanmar's courts continued a crackdown on activists Friday, handing out a 45-year prison sentence to a comedian who went to the delta to help cyclone victims and criticized the junta's slow relief response.

Comedian and activist Zarganar, whose birth name is Maung Thura, was among at least 100 people to receive sentences of two to 65 years since early November. Many of the trials were held in closed sessions, sometimes without defense lawyers or family present.

The military government's wave of harsh sentences has been condemned worldwide by Western governments and human rights groups. They contend that the sentences make a mockery of the ruling junta's professed plan to restore democracy with a 2010 election.

The government holds more than 2,100 political prisoners, up sharply from nearly 1,200 in June 2007 — before last year's pro-democracy demonstrations, according to international human rights groups.

Monks inspired and led protests that the army violently suppressed in September 2007. The authorities began their crackdown by raiding several monasteries in Yangon in the middle of the night and hauling away monks.

Damn, guess the next time I hear somebody complaining about free speech in this country I can send then a copy of this story.

Tourette's Syndrome And The N-word



Funny and sad at the same time. She better be really careful 'cause you just know one day she's gonna say it around the wrong, angry, Black woman who is going to turn around and slap the shit out of her.

The one-hit wonder (unless she makes another song about kissing girls again, of course) literally makes a fool of herself at some Latin awards show.

DJ AM To Perform At Jay-Z Gig


MTV.com:
DJ AM who, along with Travis Barker, was one of the only survivors of a plane crash last month — is on the mend after sustaining second- and third-degree burns to his face and left arm. The DJ seems to be recuperating relatively quickly, as he's been tapped to perform with Jay-Z in Hollywood Wednesday night.

According to his publicist, Jenni Weinman, AM will serve as the rapper's DJ during his set, which will mark the reopening of the Palladium Theater. While Weinman couldn't provide a complete list of Jay's tour dates, she did say AM would be accompanying the rapper on the road to act as his DJ for the entire tour.

Jay-Z has only two other dates scheduled on his calendar: October 16 in Houston and October 25 in Charlottesville, Virginia.

AM (born Adam Goldstein) told People magazine that the gig with Jay, whom he called "the greatest rapper in the world," is "the biggest thing that's happened in my career."

AM was released from an Atlanta burn center less than a week after the September 19 crash, and doctors expect he and Barker will eventually make full recoveries.

Certainly sooner than expected, but great news nonetheless.

Will.I.Am Has A Black Girlfriend???


Damn, who woulda thunk, this corny mofo bangin' a sista?!? But then this pic from MTO.com isn't really that conclusive since they're not holding hands or kissing or anything. For all we know that could be his sister or something.

Paul Newman R.I.P.

Damn. Paul Newman, one of my favorite actors of all-time, passed away today after a long battle with cancer.

My favorite Paul Newman scene remains this, from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid:





Newman was not only a great actor but a humanitarian who did lots for charities. R.I.P.

Funkmaster Flex Airs Out R. Kelly



I've always liked Flex, not just for his show, but his willingness to matter-of-factly air people out that need it (like he did Benzino a few years back, calling him the "worst rapper ever" amongst other truths/insults). So it's good to see Flex get at Robert like this, now if someone could get him his own TV show.
