Breast Implants used to Identify Slain Model Jasmine Fiore

Paul Short — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 23:05:18 +0000

A spokesperson for the Orange County, CA, District Attorney’s office has told TMZ that since murdered model, Jasmine Fiore’s teeth and fingers have not been found yet, her breast implants were used to identify her remains.

Breast implants, like most medical devices or implants, have a unique serial number that is used to identify the device. That serial number is also kept on record and connected to the person’s identity to which the device is associated with. Since Fiore’s remains had the teeth and fingers removed before the body was hidden, the Coroner and police could not empherically identify the remains using dental records or finger prints.

Former reality TV star and ex-husband of Fiore, Ryan Jenkins, has been named as a suspect in her murder and is believed to have fled across the coastal Canadian border from Washington State. Jenkins is a Canadian citizen and he also has money, so he knows how to, and has the means to evade capture.

The U.S. Marshalls Service is now offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to Jenkins whereabouts.

Owners of Atlanta Hawks, Thrashers are feuding

Joshua Lobdell — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 01:39:44 +0000

As a sports Business columnist, this is a story I have been following over the past few years. What we have here is Atlanta Spirit LLC, a company owned by eight gentleman which owns the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA and the Atlanta Thrashers of the NHL as well as the arena both team play in.

The feud goes back to 2005 when the Atlanta Hawks made a deal with the Phoenix Suns. Boston based owner Steve Belkin disagreed with the deal and then asked his partners to buy him out. Since then the two sides have bickered and argued over what is 30% stake in the corporation was worth, and how the two sides should determine its current worth.

Now a Judge has stepped in and ordered that the partners operate the company under the original agreement signed before the split in 2005. He has also urged the two sides to sit down together and work out a deal to buy out the unhappy partner.

Belkin has a court ruling, that was eventually overturned, that said he should be allowed to buy the corporation form his partners at cost. He was attempting to take control of both teams an the arena for himself. In Tuesdays court ruling the Judge asked the eight partners to sit and come up with a fair way to buy out Belkin.

Alyssa Milano and David Bugliari Just Got Married!

Paul Short — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 00:29:58 +0000

Hours ago, Alyssa Milano and her long time beau, Hollywood agent David Bugliari, tied the knot in a small private ceremony at his family’s estate in New Jersey.

The newlyweds exchanged traditional wedding vows inside a wrought iron gazebo, with Alyssa wearing a custom Vera Wang wedding gown and David in a tux. Alyssa walked down the aisle carrying lily of the valley flowers to the tune of John Lennon’s “Imagine.”

Dinner was served afterwards in the garden furnished with rattan chairs and hay bales set up as cocktale tables in a large barn style tent with iron chandeliers that created a rustic, farm style atmosphere.

Bugliari proposed to Milano last December with an engagement ring made by Jim Lavi at Daniel Jewelry in La Jolla, Calif.

So romantic. Congrats to Alyssa and David. May you have a long and happy life together!

Really dumb guy attempts DIY circumcision with nail clippers

Kim LaCapria — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 13:05:52 +0000

A young British man was rushed to the hospital Tuesday morning in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, after being stupid enough to try to circumcise his own dangle with a pair of nail clippers.

Regarding the so-close-yet-so-far to a Darwin Award act, Dr. Obvious told the UK Telegraph:

“This is something we would advise men never to attempt. The results can be quite horrific and long-lasting and have quite an affect on a man’s sexual performance. Using a pair of nail clippers must have caused excruciating pain, even if he had had a few drinks beforehand.”

ORLY? I neither have a penis nor attended any kind of medical training and I could tell you that much. As for why the man attempted to give his soldier a haircut in a country that does it for free, the article was sadly mum.

Okay, attempting your own circumcision is ridiculously retarded. But didn’t he at least have an x-acto knife in his arsenal of idiocy? Could anything to hand have possibly been less effective? Perhaps a nail file…

Little known about the fate of Air France Flight 447

Kim LaCapria — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 18:47:48 +0000

French President Nicolas Sarkozy admitted that the chances of finding any survivors from missing Air France Flight 447 are “very low,” as family members and press crowded Charles de Gaulle International Airport waiting for any news on their missing loved ones.

Last known contact from Flight 447 occurred just after 9:20PM EST, transmitting a report of electrical failure before dropping off the radar. From the Associated Press, a timeline of the flight prior to its disappearance:

7:03 p.m. local time Sunday: Air France says plane left Rio de Janeiro. Brazilian Air Force says plane left at 7:30 p.m.

8:30 p.m. Sunday: last contact with Brazil air traffic control.

9 p.m. Sunday: plane entered zone of storms and high turbulence

9:14 p.m. Sunday: Air France receives automatic message indicating electrical circuit malfunction.

Midnight-1 a.m. Monday: French military radar begins searching for plane.

2:30 a.m.: Air France sets up crisis center

Air France has confirmed 228 people on board, the majority Brazilian and French. South American president of tire company Michelin, Luis Roberto Anastacio, is listed among the missing.

The aircraft, an Airbus A330, has not been located and a cause for the disaster has not yet been pinpointed. François Brouse of Air France indicated lightning as a likely cause of the crash.

Confirmed: Missing Air France Flight 447 has Crashed in the Atlantic

Paul Short — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 14:06:54 +0000

The missing Air France flight en-route from Rio de Janerio to Paris has been confirmed by Air France to have gone down in the Atlantic ocean, with little chance of any survivors. The following statement from Air France CEO, Pierre-Henri Gourgeon was released to the press a short time ago.

Air France regrets to confirm the disappearance of flight AF 447 flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris-Charles de Gaulle, scheduled to arrive at 11:10am local time today, as announced to the press by Air France CEO, Pierre-Henri Gourgeon.

The Airbus A330-200, registration F-GZCP, left Rio on 31 May at 7:03pm local time (12:03am in Paris).

The aircraft hit a zone of stormy weather with strong turbulence at 2am this morning (universal time), i.e. 4am in Paris. An automatic message was received from the aircraft at 2:14am (4 :14am in Paris) indicating a failure in the electric circuit a long way from the coast.

The Brazilian, African, Spanish and French air traffic control centres all tried to make contact with flight AF 447 but to no avail. The French military air traffic control centre tried to detect the aircraft but did not succeed.

216 passengers were on board: 126 men, 82 women, 7 children and one infant.

There were 12 flight crew members: 3 pilots and 9 flight attendants.

The flight captain had a record of 11,000 flight hours and had already flown 1,700 hours on Airbus A330/A340s.

Of the two first officers, one had flown 3,000 flight hours (800 of which on the Airbus A330/A340) and the other 6,600 (2,600 on the Airbus A330/A340).

The aircraft was powered by General Electric CF6-80E engines.

The aircraft had totalled 18,870 flight hours and went into service on 18 April 2005.

Its last maintenance check in the hangar took place on 16 April 2009.

Air France fully shares the anxiety and distress of the families concerned. The families are being taken care of in a specially reserved area of Paris-Charles de Gaulle Terminal 2.

One person found, two NFL players still lost at sea

Duncan Riley — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 23:07:55 +0000

Nick Schuyler, one of four people missing at sea along with NFL Players Corey Smith, Marquis Cooper has been found alive.

Schuyler was found clinging to the overturned 21 foot boat owned by Smith Monday afternoon, 35 miles off Florida in the Gulf of Mexico.

Schuyler told the Coast Guard that the boat flipped over during a storm on Saturday night and the four clung to the boat hull, but later became seperated. In one glimmer of hope: Schuyler said the still missing men were wearing life preservers.

Schuyler is being treated for hypothermia at Tampa General Hospital and is listed in serious but stable condition.

The coast guard continues to search for the missing NFL players lost at sea.

Insanity: Men Climbing on High Voltage Live Power Lines in Faraday Suits

Duncan Riley — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 18:00:09 +0000

The following footage apparently comes from a Discovery special and shows maintenance workers climbing along high voltage live power lines in nothing more than faraday suits.

The science behind the suits is oddly sound, so they are safe from a charge, but even if we accept the idea that 50,000 volt power lines (or stronger) can’t be shut down for inspection, the helicopter ride to the lines, or even the way they slide along them is completely and utterly insane.

You Know You’re Out of Line When Brooke Hogan Disapproves

Meieli Sawyer — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:24:20 +0000

Brooke Hogan’s most recent interview with E!’s Michael Yo revealed that she isn’t entirely okay with her mother’s 19-year-old boy toy– surprised? While I’m sure jailed brother Nick is glad to be out from under the radar, Linda Hogan is going to be pissed about her daughter’s mighty public airing of dirty laundry:

I’m totally freaked out. I personally don’t like it at all or condone it, but she’s my mom, so I have to show her support. … I went to school with [my mom’s new boyfriend]. He was a grade under me. Me and Nick know him well. Me and Nick are two years apart, and he was right between us (in school).

I thought we were one of the normal Hollywood families. It’s crazy watching it all fall apart, but I hope for the best.

Just like her quickly-erased MySpace diatribes, I bet Brooke Hogan now wishes that she could make this interview disappear.

The Speidis Make 3 Mill in Two Years

Meieli Sawyer — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 18:54:47 +0000

Would you do something ridiculous for 3 million dollars? I would: ruin my fashion sense, make me say stupid things, even make me sing if I’ll be getting a payout like that. I suppose that puts me in the same boat as Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt of The Hills, who have more or less sold out and cashed in.

According to In Touch Weekly, the couples’ major appearances, photo shoots, and “business deals” have led to their sizable 1.5 mill a year salary.

“We are trying to entertain in every aspect of our lives,” Heidi confirmed in the In Touch blog.

Perhaps In Touch should review how much of their income was generated by tabloids alone. . . including their own. Nothing can beat the Spencer-Heidi-US Weekly threesome, though. Is everything they do a “cover story”?!

Um, don’t answer that.
