U.S. Teenager Admits Killing At Least 22 People In Cross-Country Satanic Spree

Spotted on Euronews:

Just 19 and charged with murdering a man, Miranda Barbour already risks the death penalty.

Now though she has reportedly admitted killing a whole host of people across the United States as part of a Satanic cult, saying: “When I hit 22, I stopped counting”.

Psychiatric tests are to be carried out on Barbour and her
husband Elytte, 22, who is jointly charged with murdering the man in Pennsylvania.

Local newspaper “The Daily Item” says in an interview while in prison, she confessed to a six year killing spree.

“She was very well spoken, very mild mannered, very polite,” said journalist Francis Scarcella. “She was very polite and she was very just soft, very soft and she never hesitated in anything.”

In December, the couple pleaded not guilty to killing Troy LaFerrara whose body was found dumped in an alley.

Miranda Barbour has now reportedly admitted slaying the 42-year-old who is said to have answered a bogus advert she placed online, offering sex for 100 dollars.

Philip Seymour Hoffman’s (Alleged) Heroin Dealer Is Connected To Other Celebrity Overdoses

psh

From TMZ:

The accused drug dealer who allegedly sold heroin to Philip Seymour Hoffman was like the grim reaper … befriending at least 3 major celebs who all died from ODs.

Robert Vineberg was a well-known musician who surrounded himself with other artists … and counted Hoffman, Amy Winehouse and famed NYC artist Jean-Michel Basquiat among his friends.

We’re told … Basquiat and Vineberg used A LOT of heroin during the 80s in Vineberg’s apartment — the same place Hoffman visited years later to allegedly score smack. We’re told Basquiat injected the heroin with a needle. He died of a heroin OD in ’88 … after sinking into a deep depression over the death of his close friend Andy Warhol.

Vineberg was close friends with Winehouse … but there’s no proof they did drugs together. Winehouse died of acute alcohol poisoning in 2011 after years of abusing drugs.

As for Vineberg, he denies he sold PSH the heroin that killed him.

Arrest Warrant Issued For Nipsey Hussle

nipsey-hussle-1

From TMZ:

Nipsey Hussle is officially a wanted man — and it’s all because the rapper skipped court for his career … which could now be derailed by an arrest warrant.

Here’s the deal … Nipsey was charged with driving on a suspended license back in 2012, and a pretrial hearing was scheduled for Thursday afternoon … but Hussle didn’t show up.

Nip says he hired an attorney to rep him while he finished out the last leg of his tour … but the lawyer wasn’t in court either — and it pissed off the judge enough to issue a warrant for his arrest.

Diddy’s Baby Mother Is About To Lose Her House

2010 Soul Train Awards - Arrivals

From TMZ:

The gravy train appears to have come to a screeching halt for the mother of Diddy’s firstborn son — TMZ has learned, the bank is now foreclosing on her home.

According to new legal docs, Diddy purchased a swank 3-bedroom 3,215 sq. ft. house in Westchester, NY, back in 2003 for ex Misa Hylton-Brim — the mother of his first child Justin — but for some reason, the bank stopped getting payments in 2010.

According to legal docs, Diddy took out a $712,000 mortgage. As of 2010, he owed $622,518 … a sum that’s been accruing interest ever since.

The bank now wants all of its money, or else the house is going up for auction.

Chris Brown Sued For Allegedly Beating Someone Up After A Basketball Game

2013 BET Experience - Fan Fest Outdoor Day 2

From TMZ:

Chris Brown is the victim of EXTORTION … and his lawyer is about to blow the whistle on the alleged evildoer … so claims Brown’s famous lawyer.

Malcolm Ausbon filed a lawsuit against Chris, claiming the rapper and 3 of his goons beat the crap out of him during a pick-up basketball game at 24-Hour Fitness.

TMZ has obtained a letter Ausbon’s lawyer sent to Chris’ legal eagle, Mark Geragos, demanding $250,000 from Chris … OR ELSE.  As for the “or else” … the lawyer says if Brown doesn’t pay, “Mr. Ausbon is placed in a position by the LAPD where he needs to decide whether he will press charges.”

The lawyer continues, “He would rather be compensated.”

THAT, Mark Geragos tells TMZ, is EXTORTION … cleverly worded extortion, but extortion nonetheless.

Geragos says he’s going after Ausbon by filing a police report.

And, by the way, a lawyer in Geragos’ office says he met with Ausbon’s attorney back in August and the guy admitted Brown never touched his client.  Geragos’ lawyer says the other attorney said the guy who struck his client had dreadlocks and it was all captured on video.

Charlamagne Responds To Kanye West’s Rant

You knew that Charlamagne was going to respond to Kanye West following his latest rant.

If Kanye wants to do radio interviews and he doesn’t want the host to talk, he might as well just do video blogs. I just want him to calm down and not get high blood pressure. And Kim, please go buy Kanye some chocolates or some flowers, some balloons for Valentines, please. He’s acting like a single bitter bitch right now. I just wanna know, where was all that when he was here on The Breakfast Club. How can y’all respect that? How did you get mad after the fact? If you felt that way, you sat here in the studio for over an hour and didn’t say none of that. But now, 3 or 4 months later you’re ranting about me again.

Michael Dunn Found Guilty On 4 Of 5 Counts; Mistrial Declared On Murder Charge

From CNN:

The Florida jury in the case of Michael Dunn found him guilty on four charges, including three for attempted second-degree murder, but they couldn’t reach a verdict on the most significant charge — first-degree murder in the death of Jordan Davis.

After the decisions in the “loud music” trial were read at about 7 p.m. Saturday in court, Judge Russell Healey — who moments before had said that the jury had reached a verdict on all counts — declared a mistrial on the murder count.

That possibility had floated around since 4:45 p.m. Saturday, when the 12 jurors sent a note saying they’d decided on four of the five counts that Dunn faces. But they hadn’t unanimously reached a verdict “on count 1 or any of the lesser included offenses related to it.”

Count 1 is first-degree murder in the shooting death of 17-year-old Davis, who like the other teenagers in that SUV was black.

The fact that Dunn is white began a major talking point throughout the case, with some comparing the case to the shooting death of teenager Trayvon Martin about 120 miles south in Sanford, Florida.

Jurors could have decided not to convict Dunn on that charge but instead find him guilty on lesser charges such as manslaughter. Or they could have acquitted him altogether on this count.

With the hung jury, State Attorney Angela Corey said prosecutors would press for a new trial in Duval County on the murder charge.

“Justice for Jordan Davis is as important as it is for any victim,” Corey said.

Even without a final decision on that count — and pending defense appeals — Dunn appears set to face a lengthy prison term.

The jury convicted him on three counts — one for each of the other teens in the SUV — of attempted second-degree murder. Dunn was also found “guilty of shooting … as charged in the indictment,” according to the jury’s decision read out in court.

Prosecutor Erin Wolfson explained Saturday night that each attempted second-degree murder conviction carries a minimum sentence of at least 20 years. There’s also a 15-year sentence possible on the shooting conviction.

Earlier Saturday, Healey acknowledged that the jury of four white women, two black women, four white men, an Asian woman and a Hispanic man was “struggling, obviously.”

“But it’s not for want of trying to reconcile all of this,” he said then. “I think we’ve got some analytical people in there who are trying to do just that — trying to analyze this from every possible angle.”

As this decision became clear Saturday night — and the other guilty verdicts were read out — Dunn looked ahead solemnly, with a frown.

Lucia McBath said — even without a decision on the murder count tied to Davis, her son — her family is “so very happy to have just a little bit of closure.”

“It’s sad for Mr. Dunn that he will live the rest of his life in that sense of torment, and I will pray for him,” McBath said. “And I’ve asked my family to pray for him.”

@YoungThugWorld Has Signed To Cash Money (According to @MassAppeal)

In a new write-up for Mass Appeal, Brian Padilla claims that Young Thug has signed to Cash Money, after some speculation.  Thug had previously mentioned Cash Money and Future’s label Freebandz, but since Lil Wayne is his favorite rapper, this should come as no surprise.  You can read more below or head over to MassAppeal.com,  if you want the whole piece;

But he did perk up when I asked him if he officially signed to Cash Money. “Yo, is it official now? Are you signed to Cash Money?” Young Thug immediately turned away from about 50 flashing lights, searched for the dude who asked him what seemed to be the dumbest question in the world, and said, “Yeah. I signed.” Hearing this made my night, my weekend, my fucking year. Cash Money is a perfect place for Thug to grow, remain sexually elusive, and best of all make music with the dudes running hip hop right now. Drake, Young Thug, Lil Wayne all in one studio. I’m going to let you think on that while I pick up the pieces of my skull.

Young Thug telling me he signed to Cash Money doesn’t make it 100%, but it’s the first time we’re hearing anything definitive on the matter from the dude himself.

Beyoncé Partners With British Royal Family For #BeyGood Campaign

beyuk

Spotted on Digital Spy:

Beyoncé has teamed up with The Prince’s Trust to launch a new charity campaign.

The #BeyGood campaign will tie in with the UK dates of the star’s ‘Mrs Carter World Tour‘ and aims to raise funds for the youth charity.

Concert-goers who support the cause, which aims to help disadvantaged young people across the UK, will be given a #BeyGood sticker and the chance to have their seat upgraded to an exclusive VIP area.

Fans can earn a sticker by making a £3 donation to The Prince’s Trust by text or online, purchasing a #BeyGood t-shirt, or bringing used items of clothing to a donation site at the venues.

Beyoncé said: “As a young child I was blessed to have the support of my family who encouraged me to reach for my goals. So many young people don’t have this.

“I am honored to partner the #BeyGood campaign with The Prince’s Trust to help young people beat the odds and create better lives for themselves.”

Chief Executive of The Prince’s Trust Martina Milburn added: “We are very proud that Beyoncé has partnered with The Prince’s Trust through her #BeyGood campaign.

“As a longstanding ambassador of our charity, Beyoncé understands that, every day in the UK, young people are facing not only unemployment but also the devastating effects of homelessness, addiction, poverty, bullying and poor mental health.

“All of these hardships can leave them feeling that life isn’t worth living. It is up to us to help them get their lives back on track and the funds raised through the #BeyGood campaign will help us to do that.”

Justin Bieber May Or May Not Have Given Selena Gomez An STD

bieber4f-1-web

From Hollywood Life:

Selena Gomez not only had to deal with Justin Bieber‘s up and down behavior and infidelity, she thought he might have given her a sexually transmitted disease, according to a report in Life & Style magazine.

The once inseparable couple have been going through some incredibly difficult times. Selena, who recently entered rehab in early January 2013, had been trying to find a way to cope with Justin’s cheating ways.

“Selena has had issues with anxiety for a while,” the insider says. “And she’s still dealing with them. It started when Justin was cheating on her — one big breaking point was that she thought he gave her an STD and got tested.”

It’s unclear what the results were but at least she’s recognizing that she deserves better!

Birdman To Throw $500,000 Birthday Party; Could He Be Signing Young Thug?

From TMZ:

Birdman’s on a mission to throw one of the most insane 45th birthday parties known to mankind — a “Half a Milly” bash — filled with endless champagne, naked models, the entire Young Money crew … and his $7 MILLION car collection.

The party’s set to go down in New Orleans Saturday night — in the middle of NBA All-Star Weekend. Birdman rented out a private venue … which he’s renamed “Birdman’s New Era Voodoo Lounge.”

In addition to 30 body-painted naked models, 700 clothed models will be on hand — lubricated by 150 cases of GTV vodka, $100,000 of Belaire Rosé, and 20 cases of some anti-hangover cocktail.

Birdman’s shipping in his $7 million car collection from Miami … including his red Bugatti, white Bugatti, 2 Maybachs, and 3 tour buses.

The guest list is sick — party host JJ Jones tells us, James Harden, Paul George, Blake Griffin, Shaq, and Kenny Smith are coming … as well as Young Money rappers Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj, and more.

If that’s not cool enough — the original Cash Money crew’s expected to get together for the first time in nearly a decade … including Mystikal, Turk, Juvenile, and Mannie Fresh.

We reached out to Birdman for comment — he tells us, “Yeah, my party is going to be epic.”

Sidenote: I’ve noticed that Young Thug has been hanging around him quite a bit (Birdman has also shown mad support for the rapper through social networking at the very least)…..could that mean something, or am I reaching?

Mathew Knowles’ Son Is Reportedly On Food Stamps Due To Lack Of Father’s Child Support

0214-sandra-wright-knowles-card-1

From TMZ:

Beyonce’s dad is so far behind on child support payments for his illegitimate kid … his baby mama is destitute and has to use food stamps to survive.

We’re told Alexsandra Wright hasn’t seen any money from Mathew Knowles since we posted our story back in December — when he allegedly owed $24K. We’re told he now owes $32,135.90.

Wright — whose son is Beyonce’s half-brother — is now on public assistance … and gets $300 a month on a state-issued EBT card to pay for food and other expenses.

Sources tell us Wright went to court for help … but the judge is noodling over exactly what to do.

As we previously reported … Knowles insists he’s not a deadbeat dad … and has blamed a clerical error for the delinquency.
