‘Invisible Children’ Co-Founder Jason Russell Arrested!

Jason Russell became an overnight success with his video “Kony 2012” which documents the inhumane actions of Joseph Kony, the head of the Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda – otherwise know LRA. Jason’s campaign was to bring attention to Kony, who has reportedly abducted and forced approximately 66,000children to fight for the army since the rebellion began in 1986.
‘Invisible Children’ Co-Founder Jason Russell 
While the video he created touched many (myself included) and went viral, there were many out there who began to question exactly what his intentions were – and where exactly the money his foundation was receiving was being allocated.

It appears that that is the least of Jason’s worries. It has been reported that he has been detained for allegedly being drunk, vandalizing cars and masturbating in public. While no criminal charges have been made, he is being detained under a 5150 hold, which under California law allows citizens to be held for three days,according to the source.

Invisible Children CEO Ben Keesey said in a release “Jason Russell was unfortunately hospitalized yesterday suffering from exhaustion, dehydration, and malnutrition.”
Keesey said that Russell “is now receiving medical care and is focused on getting better. The past two weeks have taken a severe emotional toll on all of us, Jasonespecially, and that toll manifested itself in an unfortunate incident yesterday.”
”Jason’s passion and his work have done so much to help so many, and we are devastated to see him dealing with this personal health issue. We will always love and support Jason, and we ask that you give his entire family privacy during this difficult time.”

Pregnant Snooki hasn’t given up the GTL lifestyle just yet – at least the tanning part.

Bobbi Kristina Engaged With her Brother Nick!!!!

Bobbi Kristina Brown, the 19-year-old daughter of singers Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, was recent spotted wearing an engagement ring and many are speculating that it was given to her by her unofficial adopted 22-year-old brother Nick Gordon.
Nick Gordon and Bobbi Kristina
 Report was that Bobbi Kristina was seen with a ring on her engagement finger, a little over a month after Houston died. Houston died Feb. 11. Star magazine also reported the secret engagement and the diamond engagement ring.


These stories came days after what has been reported as very public PDA with Gordon. The two was seen showing public affection, sharing kisses and holding hands while out on an errand in the Atlanta area.


Reports are that they are also living together in Houston's Atlanta house.
TMZ has reported that Houston adopted Gordon about 10 years after his parents could no longer take care of him. He has been living in the singer's Atlanta home ever since.


"Yes, they are engaged, but the family is trying to coax her away from it," a source reportedly told People.
Nick Gordon and Bobbi Kristina 
On Friday, People also reported that another source said that Gordon asked Bobbi Kristina to marry him about a week ago. Bobbi Kristina is allegedly wearing a ring that once belonged to her mom. That source told People that he or she is uncertain if Bobbi Kristina said yes.


RadarOnline.com reported on Friday, that Bobbi Kristina told her grandmother, Cissy Houston, that she will marry Gordon.


Cissy Houston is said to be "absolutely heartsick" that Bobbi Kristina has gotten engaged.


Bobbi kristina and her Brother Nick
Here's what a source reportedly told RadarOnline about Cissy Houston's feelings toward the alleged engagement.


"This reminds her of when Whitney married Bobby Brown, whom Cissy has never approved of," the source said. "Cissy has conveyed to Krissy how upset she is, and has urged her to have a prolonged engagement. Krissy has told her grandmother that she doesn't need her blessing to marry Nick, and the more Cissy objects to the relationship, well that only cements Krissy's decision. It's just a very sad situation. Clearly, Krissy loves Nick, but she has just lost her mother, and her entire world has been turned upside down. Krissy doesn't think she needs to wait, and points to her mom's sudden death as the reason to marry Nick."

Soldier who 'shot nine sleeping Afghan children in gun rampage that left 16 dead' returns to U.S. to face trial

The U.S. soldier held in connection to a shooting rampage that claimed the lives of 16 Afghans - including nine children - has been identified as Staff Sgt Robert Bales.
The 38-year-old soldier, who arrived at a detention centre in Kansas on Friday evening, had been in Afghanistan since December, despite telling his family he did not want to return on what would be his fourth tour of duty.



Soldier: Staff Sergeant Robert Bales, left, is the soldier alleged to have killed 16 Afghan civilians as they slept



Bales, an 11-year veteran, is said to have been plagued by various stresses stemming from his deployment, his marriage, and the fact that he had seen a friend's leg blown off the day before the massacre.
The father of two from Ohio was reported to have been drunk at the time of the alleged rampage, according to some sources.
He was also suffering from a traumatic brain injury, but this was not considered enough to disbar him from active service.
The bodies of an elderly Afghan man and a child killed in the Alkozai village of Panjwayi district are shown wrapped in blankets


A military newsletter from September 2011 featured Bales participating in a training exercise designed to improve relations between the U.S. military and Afghan civilians.
He is recorded asking a village elder: 'How's the security affecting your family?'
And after a 2007 battle in Iraq, he told a local newspaper: 'I've never been more proud to be a part of this unit than that day for the simple fact that we discriminated between the bad guys and the noncombatants and then afterward we ended up helping the people that three or four hours before were trying to kill us.


'I think that's the real difference between being an American as opposed to being a bad guy, someone who puts his family in harm's way like that.'
Two grief-stricken Afghan men look into the van where the body of a badly burned child is wrapped in a blue blanket following the shooting last weekend




Bales was stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, near Tacoma, Washington, where his family - including his children, thought to be aged three and four - remains under protection.
He was flown to an American base in Kuwait earlier this week, but on Friday evening was transferred to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas for detention ahead of a future court martial.
The Army said he was placed in his own cell, not a normal four-person bay. He will get time out of his cell for hygiene and recreational purposes and religious support.


Bales has not yet been charged over his alleged offences, nor has he been officially named by the military.
Afghan students protested this week and burnt an effigy of President Obama


His attorney, John Henry Browne, has said he plans to highlight Bales's suspected post-traumatic stress disorder, exacerbated by his witnessing an explosion the day before the alleged attack.
'We have been informed that at this small base that he was at, somebody was gravely injured the day before the alleged incident - gravely injured, and that affected all of the soldiers,' Mr Bales said.
He also said that the soldier had previously been injured twice - once sustaining a concussion and, on another occasion, requiring surgery that removed part of his foot - and he and his family thought he was done fighting and might become a military recruiter instead.

Mr Browne added: 'He wasn't thrilled about going on another deployment. He was told he wasn't going back, and then he was told he was going.'
He told reporters that he has met with the wife and other family members of the 38-year-old staff sergeant.
'They were totally shocked,' he said. 'He's never said anything antagonistic about Muslims. He's in general very mild-mannered.'
He said the family said they were unaware of any drinking problem, and described the couple's marriage as 'fabulous'.
After a Thursday visit with United States Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, pictured, Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai said NATO troops should leave rural areas and stay on military bases




Neighbours of the soldier in Lake Tapps, Washington, were surprised to hear of the allegations against Bales.
Kassie Holland, who lives next door, said she would often see Bales playing with his two kids and the family together at the modern split-level home.
'My reaction is that I'm shocked,' she said. 'I can't believe it was him. There were no signs. It's really sad. I don't want to believe that he did it.
'He always had a good attitude about being in the service. He was never really angry about it. When I heard him talk, he said, it seemed like, yeah, that's my job. That's what I do. He never expressed a lot of emotion toward it.'

Military officials say the soldier received sniper training and is assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, of the 2nd Infantry Division, which is based at Lewis-McChord.
Beau Britt, who lives across the street, said: 'For something like that to be right across the street from us is just amazing.
'I kind of sympathise for him, being gone, being sent over there four times. I can understand he's probably quite wracked mentally, so I just hope that things are justified in court. I hope it goes OK.'




Bales and his wife bought the Lake Tapps home in 2005, according to records. The home was placed on the market Monday, the day after the attack, and was listed at $229,000. Overflowing boxes were piled on the front porch, and a U.S. flag leaned against the siding.
Bales - who signed up to the military after 9/11 and served three tours of Iraq - had no prior events in his Army dossier indicating misbehaviour, according to the lawyer.
The soldier could face the death penalty if convicted of the crime, according to Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta.

Bales had completed 20 hours of anger-management counseling following a 2002 arrest at a Tacoma hotel for investigation of assault. Browne said the case involved a woman other than Bales' wife, whom he married in 2005.
Records also associated with Bales show that in 2009 he had a hit-and-run charge dismissed in municipal court in Sumner.
Mr Browne's resumé includes defending notorious serial killer Ted Bundy and Colton Harris-Moore, the 'Barefoot Bandit'. Bales specifically asked that he should represent him.
A high-ranking U.S. official told The New York Times on Thursday: 'When it all comes out, it will be a combination of stress, alcohol and domestic issues - he just snapped'.
Nine of the 16 killed by the lone U.S. Army staff sergeant were children, and three were women.
Villagers have described him stalking from house to house in the middle of the night, opening fire on sleeping families and then burning some of the dead bodies.
Mr Browne said he knew little of the facts of the shooting, but disputed reports that a combination of alcohol, stress and domestic issues caused him to snap.
This photo appears to show Bales, left, participating in a training exercise before his deployment to Afghanistan in December
The soldier is suspected of going on a shooting rampage in villages near his base in southern Afghanistan early Sunday, killing nine children and seven other civilians and then burning some of their bodies.
Some villagers told officials they heard shooting from different directions, but many others said they only saw a single soldier. NATO insists the soldier acted alone.


Fort Lewis-McChord is about 45 miles south of Seattle and home to about 100,000 military and civilian personnel.
A former soldier out of Fort Lewis shot and injured a Salt Lake City police officer in 2010, and on January 1, a 24-year-old Iraq War veteran shot and killed a Mount Rainier National Park ranger.
Afgan gathering after the incident


Four Lewis-McChord soldiers were convicted in the deliberate thrill killings of three Afghan civilians in 2010.
The military newspaper Stars and Stripes called it 'the most troubled base in the military' that year.
The shooting, which followed a controversial Quran-burning incident involving U.S. soldiers, has outraged Afghan officials.

Beti B has finally a name

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had a baby girl on November 16, 2011. Four months later, she finally has a name - Aaradhya Bachchan.
There was a lot of curiosity and speculation about the name of the Bachchan granddaughter, but the family refrained from revealing her name. 



She was christened 'Beti B' in the media for lack of a better name, and now that's a monicker that will stay with her for life. Aaradhya's name was registered two days ago. Remember, you read it here first!

Madonna Blasted By Government of Malawi

Madonna got slammed by the Malawi government on Tuesday.The singer, who adopted two children from the poor African country, recently announced that she wants to build 10 schools there.
Madonna
But Malawi officials are now sounding off on the Material Girl, who last year scrapped plans for a girls’ school near the capital of Lilongwe.Malawi’s Ministry of Education spokeswoman Lindiwe Chide said the government is “fed up” with Madonna, who allegedly never informed the government before she abandoned the academy.


“Now she decides to announce that she plans to build 10 schools without getting authority from us again,” said Chide, adding, “We now feel like this is all about propping up her global image and not in our interest.”


Chide griped, “She has no mandate to decide where she wants to build a school because she doesn’t know our needs and where we want new schools… she first needed to consult us, get permission from us before doing anything.”

American Idol Contestant Jermaine Jones to Be Kicked Off For Hiding Criminal Past

Cops Investigating Lindsay Lohan Hit-and-Run

Lindsay Lohan struck someone while driving away from a club early this morning, and then fled the scene, but it looks like no charges will be filed.
The 25-year-old actress was in her new Porsche when she left the Sayers Club in Hollywood just after midnight when the scene became chaotic.
She was driving out of the parking lot when she was blocked by Fun and Entertainment photographers and bystanders around the nearby Hookah Lounge.

Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay made contact with the manager of the Hookah Lounge with her car and then peeled out, prompting a police investigation ... we thought.
Cops were called, came to the scene and interviewed people inside the Hookah Lounge - including the manager who was struck - and then left.

It turns out LiLo may have been the one who called police to protect herself from the paparazzi, and that's why cops showed up in the first place.

The manager may not have suffered an injury, but if he did, Lindsay could be charged with a hit and run (not to mention a probation violation).

For now, it looks like case closed, as no one has complained of an injury, however it could be reopened if the person struck presses charges.



Kim Kardashian Tweets Topless Pic

Kim shared this sexy photo with her millions of followers — but we think she had one particular tweeter in mind.
Some people count sheep when they can’t fall asleep, while others — like Kim Kardashian – choose to tweet topless pictures of themselves, instead. “Can’t sleep tonight…” Kim tweeted March 13, along with the above photo. And even though her tweet wasn’t directed at anyone in particular, we’ve got a feeling she wanted a certain ex-boyfriend to take notice.

Rumors of Kim getting back together with Reggie Bush have been swirling ever since she announced her divorce from Kris Humphries in Oct. 2011. Khloe Kardashian even said in a recent interview that she’d love to see “the Bush and the Tush” reunite.

Former Big Brother housemate Rodrigo Lopes has revealed that he’s now living life as a woman, and is planning to undergo gender reassignment surgery!The Brazilian – who finished fifth in the show’s tenth series 2009, aged 23 – told Heat magazine all about his new female persona, named Rebekah Shelton.
Rodrigo Lopes
“[Rebekah] is a very modern woman. She likes to pay her own way and not have doors opened for her. She’s flirty, but would never go home with someone on the first date.
“She’s much madder than I could ever be – once, she tried to take her high heel and throw it in a man’s face.”

Talking about his future as Rebekah, he said: “I’m looking into hormone treatment. The doctor tells you that you should live as a woman for a year before you make any big decision about surgery, so that’s what I’m doing. 




“I’m still worried about my parents in Brazil and whether or not they would accept me. It’s hard for me. It’s not an easy decision or a joke.

“I’m becoming more sure every day. But it wouldn’t make that much difference. I’m not that masculine.”

Patrick was recovering and feeling well enough to postdetails on Twitter and photos on WhoSay and Instagram, including a picture of a nasty cut to his backside.

Patrick Schwarzenegger Hospitalized 
"Little ski accident today," Patrick told his Twitter followers. "Some bruises and stiches down back and but (sic). Thanks to sun valley doctors for everything."

Bin Laden WAS NOT buried at sea, but flown to the U.S. for cremation at secret location, claims intelligence boss in leaked email

The fate of Osama bin Laden's remains have been called into question after emails leaked from an intelligence analysis firm say the body of the terror leader was actually sent to the U.S. for cremation.
Osama Bin Laden
Terrorist: Osama bin Laden was killed on May 1, 2011 in the now-famous raid by Navy SEAL Team Six at his secret Pakistan compoundAccording to the emails, the Al Qaeda boss was shot and killed during the famous Navy SEAL Team Six raid on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, was transported back to the U.S. and cremated.
Burial: After bin Laden was killed, the Obama administration said his body was buried at sea off the USS Carl Vinson, pictured here, in accordance with Islamic tradition
The emails were allegedly obtained by the hacker group Anonymous from Stratfor, an organisation dealing with analysis of intelligence and geopolitical analysis. It's also known as the 'Shadow CIA'. 
Viewing the raid: President Obama and his key staffers watch the Navy SEAL mission at Osama bin Laden's compound in this White House photo
Last week, Anonymous announced that it had gotten access to 2.7million of the firm’s confidential correspondences, and said they could provide 'the smoking gun for a number of crimes'.
The hackers said Stratfor, based in Austin, Texas, were 'clueless' when it came to database security.
After bin Laden was killed in the famous raid in Pakistan on May 2 2011, the Obama administration said his body was buried at sea off the USS Carl Vinson - in accordance with Islamic tradition.
On TV: Bin Laden is shown watching himself on television in this video frame grab released by the U.S. Pentagon May 7, 2011, six days after his death

But in a particular set of emails given to WikiLeaks, the firm’s vice president for intelligence, Fred Burton, says he doubts the official White House version of what happened to bin Laden's body.

But in a particular set of emails given to WikiLeaks, the firm’s vice president for intelligence, Fred Burton, says he doubts the official White House version of what happened to bin Laden's body.
Stratfor’s vice-president for intelligence, Fred Burton, says the body was 'bound for Dover, [Delaware] on [a] CIA plane' and 'onward to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Bethesda [Maryland]'.
The claims are sure to stoke conspiracy theorists, especially since the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology that Burton refers to closed its doors on September 15, 2011, four months after bin Laden's death.

In another email, Burton said: 'If body dumped at sea, which I doubt, the touch is very Adolph Eichman like. The Tribe did the same thing with the Nazi's ashes'.
'Eichmann was seen alive for many months on trial before being sentenced to death and executed. No one wanted a monument to him so they cremated him.'

In a February 27 statement, Stratfor said: In December, thieves compromised Stratfor's data systems and stole a large number of company emails, along with other private information of Stratfor readers, subscribers and employees. Those stolen emails apparently will be published by Wikileaks. This is a deplorable, unfortunate - and illegal - breach of privacy.

“I start crying and deal with it, but then I hear her voice again: ‘Keep moving’,” she said.


Patricia spoke next, saying that she thought drugs might eventually play a role in her death.


“The handwriting was on the wall,” she said. “I would be kidding myself otherwise. But things were really changing with her.”

“She loved Krissy with everything she had, and was trying to make things right with her,” she said.


Her brother Gary Houston also spoke, saying he was shocked to hear that Whitney’s life was taken so soon.


“I never thought anything like this would happen,” he said. “I never thought it would be like this, but it always crosses your mind that this can happen.”


He also spoke on behalf of his mother Cissy Houston, who declined to participate in the interview.


“I think she’s doing better now,” he said. “But she lost her only daughter. The gift came through her and it’s rough for her.”

Harry Pokes Fun at Brother Prince William in Brazil

Prince Harry goofily donned a mask of his brother Prince William as he took part in a mile-long fun-run Saturday.
Prince Harry
 He was given it by another runner among a group who'd decided to don royal masks, and he flipped it on during the six-minute run.
 The unplanned moment, which an aide said would give his brother a "laugh," came during the first event of a sporty morning on the Praia do Flamengo beach, in the shadow of Rio de Janeiro's magnificent Sugar Loaf Mountain.
 After a visit to Jamaica, Harry, 27, is in Brazil to highlight British interests and support his charitable causes. On Friday night, he was welcomed by a samba band and then boarded a cable car to the top of Sugar Loaf to attend a party with Brazilian celebrities and politicians.
 "Everything about Rio makes you want to dance," he said. He added: "I'm just glad my brother isn't here, because he might do it, and that would not be cool."

Taylor Swift Made $35.7 Million In 2011 — Beat Lady Gaga, Katy Perry & Adele

You’d never know it by the way she acts, but Taylor Swift was the #1 earner on Billboard’s 2012 Music Money Makers list, beating out all the other famous singing divas! Unbelievable!
 Taylor Swift acts like your average super talented, down to earth, well-raised 22-year-old girl, but she’s actually the most financially successful musician in the world, according to Billboard’s 2012 Music Money Makers list.

 In fact, the country crooner made an estimated $35,719,902 in 2011 alone, BEFORE sponsorships. That’s more than Lady Gaga made in 2010 when she was the top earner.
 This year, our girl Taylor made more than Gaga — who was in fourth place this year with $25,353,039,Adele — who was tenth with $13,081,909 AND Katy Perry – who was fourteenth and made $11,969,426. Pretty darn impressive if you ask us!
 So where’s all this money from? Most of it was from her Speak Now tour, which was widely successful, but Taylor also made big bucks off her album and from royalties, since she wrote all the songs on the record. Congrats on your success, Taylor! If anyone deserves it, it’s you. You’ve stayed grounded and humble — and we appreciate that!
