ABC Reporter Arrested in Denver Taking Pictures of Senators, Big Donors (http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/MoneyTrail/story?id=5668622)

Police in Denver arrested an ABC News producer on august 27, 2008, as he and a camera crew were attempting to take pictures on a public sidewalk of Democratic senators and VIP donors leaving a private meeting at the Brown Palace Hotel.

A cigar-smoking Denver police sergeant, accompanied by a team of five other officers, first put his hands on Eslocker's neck, then twisted the producer's arm behind him to put on handcuffs.

The sheriff's officer is seen telling Eslocker the sidewalk is owned by the hotel. Later, he is seen pushing Eslocker off the sidewalk into oncoming traffic, forcing him to the other side of the street.

When it comes to dating a rock star, you gotta be careful.  The erratic behavior and huge egos alone make it hard to deal with some of them.  And Denise Richards found out the hard way how unpredictable musicians can be.

It turns out that when Bon Jovi guitar legend Richie Sambora broke up with Denise during their romantic Hawaii vacation, she had been expecting a marriage proposal.  Boy was she wrong!

Dobson accuses Obama of fruitcake views of constitution.

Mr. Dobson’s remarks focused on a June 28, 2006, speech in which Mr. Obama, in Washington, mentioned passages from the Bible that he suggested were in conflict with present-day practices. Mr. Dobson made his criticisms shortly after Joshua Dubois, the Obama campaign’s religious affairs director, offered to meet with Focus on the Family leaders and suggested to some people that Mr. Dobson was nervous about Mr. Obama’s willingness to compete with Republicans for the evangelical vote.

And according to LATimes "And by the way, who asked him?"

In January on a radio program Dobson told the host he could not support Sen. John McCain either because of the restrictions of the McCain-Feingold bill and new proposals, supported by and named for McCain, to limit the ability of groups such as Focus to reach constituents with action messages on pending legislation.

 

Christian leader says Obama distorting the Bible

Dobson, who has previously said he will not vote for McCain because of his past support for stem cell research, on Tuesday said the Arizona senator wasn't doing enough to stop gay marriage in his home state.

The comments by broadcaster James Dobson are among the sharpest religious attacks to date on the Illinois senator, who will face Republican John McCain in the November election.

Polls show evangelicals are slowly moving away from the Republican Party, though Obama's support of abortion rights and gay rights are likely to give pause to many.

17 Teenage Girls Made Pregnancy Pact

From: Time.com

As summer vacation begins, 17 girls at Gloucester High School are expecting babies—more than four times the number of pregnancies the 1,200-student school had last year. Some adults dismissed the statistic as a blip. Others blamed hit movies like Juno and Knocked Up for glamorizing young unwed mothers. But principal Joseph Sullivan knows at least part of the reason there's been such a spike in teen pregnancies in this Massachusetts fishing town. School officials started looking into the matter as early as October after an unusual number of girls began filing into the school clinic to find out if they were pregnant. By May, several students had returned multiple times to get pregnancy tests, and on hearing the results, "some girls seemed more upset when they weren't pregnant than when they were," Sullivan says. All it took was a few simple questions before nearly half the expecting students, none older than 16, confessed to making a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together. Then the story got worse. "We found out one of the fathers is a 24-year-old homeless guy," the principal says, shaking his head.

Derrick Barry: Britney Spears Impersonator on America's Got Talent, June 17, 2008

Say what? That's a dude . . . and he's in better shape than the really Britney Spears. The guy's name is Derrick Barry and shocked the judges on America's Got Talent when he/she walked out on stage and gave his performance. Former TV hunk David Hasselhoff is obviously smitten . . . and confused sexually by what he sees. In the end, they vote Derrick on to the next round in Las Vegas and the crowd goes wild!

Victoria Secret sued over thong

from http://ktla.trb.com/news/ktla-victoria-secret-thong,0,2288145.story

A Los Angeles woman is suing lingerie-maker Victoria's Secret, claiming she was injured by one of the company's defective thongs.
Macrida Patterson, 52, says she was attempting to try on the thong when a decorative metallic piece flew off the garment and struck her in the eye.
Patterson says Victoria's Secret is at fault for the injury she received last month because the product was "defective."
Patterson's attorney, Jason Buccat, chalked the problem up to a "design error."
The garment in question is called the "low-rise v-string" from the Victoria's Secret Sexy Little Thing line.
Patterson said the defective underwear caused her permanent corneal damage, and that she had to miss several days of work to get it treated.
Her attorney said the injury will affect Patterson for the rest of her life.
Victoria's Secret requested to examine the underwear that caused the injury, but Patterson's attorney denied the request.
