The drug dealer motto is, “Don’t get high off your own supply.” Which doesn’t mean buy your own! It means don’t do drugs! There’s a serious conflict of interest! Now here we are in the case of another type of hypocrisy. A top attorney in California, the DISTRICT ATTORNEY, gets busted for cocaine possession? How hypocritical can you be?
The office Deputy District Attorney David Shubert holds is a position of excellence, pride and honesty that should stand for something other than bustin’ Bruno Mars and Paris Hilton for their drug possession and making a name for yourself. Now that his credibility is shot and he’s been locked out of his office, I bet he used their drugs or wish he had them? The stuff that was confiscated from Mars and Hilton probably never made into evidence–except enough to bust them.
Shubert has people in low places that were giving him a hook up at a crack den in Vegas when they were spotted, chased, and apprehended. Now, he’s losing his job and preparing to be in the cell next to Paris and ‘nem. Oops! Paris isn’t even in the pen, she’s out on good behavior. I guess it’s lonely at the bottom too. Don’t drop the soap Shubert! Read here for more of this ridiculous guy.
Mary Harvey has been ordered to shut up! A Texas judge recently ruled that Mary Harvey can no longer talk about her ex-husband Steve Harvey. No more you tube videos, Facebooking, tweeting or MySpace about her ex. The court hearing also proved that Mary wasn’t left destitute and homeless by her ex-husband. In fact, records proved she was getting $40,000 a month, got three houses in a divorce settlement and she voluntarily put her son on a plane sending him to be with his dad. The Harveys are due back in court March 10th. Mary Harvey created a firestorm when she went public with allegations of mistreatment by Steve Harvey. Steve always said the truth will prevail, but a lot of damage has already been done. Why would Mary Harvey go to these great lengths only to be embarrassed in the end because she was lying? Mary Harvey fell into the trap of getting used by other people who had an axe to grind against Steve Harvey. Steve Harvey has been on a roll with his best selling books, TV shows (Family Feud and Steve Harvey Project) and he is happily married to his current wife Marjorie. Check him out on the new issue of Jet magazine. Mary Harvey is going to have to move on with her life and stay away from people who only want to use her for their own agenda.

of who they are. It this fair hell no, but with the first sentence, money talks. Folks this
is the justice system in America, if you don’t realize it by now.
Now for the article:
A judge sent Lindsay Lohan back to jail Friday after she failed a drug test, and the troubled starlet could stay there for nearly month.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elden S. Fox did not set bail and Lohan was taken into custody immediately after the hearing at the Beverly Hills courthouse.
Fox set Lohan’s next court appearance for Oct. 22. It will be Lohan’s third jail stint for a three-year-old drug and drunken driving case filed after a pair of high-profile arrests in 2007.
Her previous stays at a women’s jail in a Los Angeles suburb lasted 84 minutes and 14 days.
Lohan acknowledged failing a court-ordered drug screening last week in a series of Twitter postings.
Lohan arrived at the Beverly Hills courthouse Friday about 10 minutes before the hearing was set to start, wearing sunglasses and accompanied by her mother, Dina. Her father, Michael Lohan, arrived earlier.
It was the “Mean Girls” star’s first appearance before Fox, who had said at a previous hearing he would sentence her to a month in jail for each drug test she skipped or failed.
The actress wasn’t present for that hearing, which was held hours after her release from rehab.
Lohan has twice been released early to overcrowding, with her longest jail stay a 14-day stint on a 90-day sentence earlier this summer.
Lohan seemed to acknowledge an addiction problem after news of her positive drug test broke last week.
Former NFL tight end Shannon Sharpe is taking a leave of absence from his NFL analyst gig at CBS amid allegations of sexual assault against him.
“I have decided to step aside from the NFL Today show until this matter is resolved,” Sharpe said in a statement released today.
Atlanta’s Fulton County Superior Court granted a temporary restraining order against Sharpe following a petition filed by Michele Bundy, who claims the ex-athlete threatened her life and forced her into sex.
A protection hearing is scheduled for Monday, Sept 20.
Prosecutors hoping to nail former Liberian president Charles Taylor for war crimes at a U.N.-backed court have asked judges to subpoena supermodel Naomi Campbell as a witness, reports the Associated Press. In a motion filed Thursday, prosecutors say they want Campbell to testify about uncut diamonds Taylor allegedly gave to her in South Africa in 1997. They say the runway diva told prosecutors through her lawyer that she was “concerned for her safety” and “did not want to involve herself in the case.”
Prosecutors claim Taylor gave arms and ammunition to brutal rebels during Sierra Leone’s civil war in exchange for diamonds. He denies the allegations. The prosecution is also seeking testimony from Mia Farrow, who claims Campbell told her about the alleged diamond gift. Farrow said she and Campbell were both guests at the home of South African president Nelson Mandela, where Taylor was also visiting. She said Campbell described in detail a middle of the night visit from two of Taylor’s men. “She said during the night, some men had knocked at her door and she, half asleep, had opened the door and it was representatives of President Charles Taylor and that they had given her a huge diamond,” Farrow told ABC News. “We were like, ‘oh my gosh.’”
If you ever testify in court, you might wish you could have been as sharp as this policeman. He was being cross-examined by a defense attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine the police officer’s credibility…
Q: ‘Officer — did you see my client fleeing the scene?’
A: ‘No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away.’
Q: ‘Officer — who provided this description?’
A: ‘The officer who responded to the scene.’
Q: ‘A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?’
A: ‘Yes, sir. With my life.’
Q: ‘With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?’
A: ‘Yes sir, we do!’
Q: ‘And do you have a locker in the room?’
A: ‘Yes sir, I do.’
Q: ‘And do you have a lock on your locker?’
A: ‘Yes sir.’
Q: ‘Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with these same officers?’
A: ‘You see, sir — we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.’
The courtroom EXPLODED with laughter, and a prompt recess was called. The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year’s ‘Best Comeback’ line — and we think he’ll win.

was asked if he thought
there was room for forgiveness
toward the people who have harbored
and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated
the 9/11 attacks on America .
His answer was classic Schwarzkopf.
The General said, ” I believe that forgiving them is God’s function.
OUR job is to arrange the meeting. ” AMEN
More Details Emerge. People magazine has more details of the events leading to the death of plus size model Mia Amber Davis, though an official cause of death is still pending. Davis went to a Los Angeles clinic this week for surgery on her knee to ease pain from an old basketball injury exacerbated by wearing high heels and playing tennis. But after what was supposed to be a routine procedure on Monday, she complained of dizziness and had to be transported to Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Medical Center. At about 9 a.m. on Tuesday she was pronounced dead. “She seemed fine leading up to the procedure,” says Craig Harvey, chief investigator for the L.A. County Coroner. “She had no prior complaints and no significant prior medical history.” Davis’s sudden and mysterious death at age 36 stunned her family, including husband Michael Yard, and rocked the fashion industry, where Davis was a highly respected and influential plus-sized model based in New York. She also worked as an actress, appearing in “Road Trip.” “We’re really heartbroken,” says Madeline Jones, editor of PLUS Model Magazine. “We feel like our whole world collapsed. And the plus-sized industry is never going to be the same. She was such an advocate for plus-sized women. Wherever she went she was made up from head to toe, not a hair out of place. She loved herself. She looked good and felt good.” The cause of death remains unknown. Results of an autopsy are pending, and reports that a blot clot was to blame are “simply speculation,” says Davis’s cousin, Mignon Moore, a UCLA sociology professor. “We are absolutely heartbroken and devastated by the abruptness and tragic loss of Mia Amber,” her family says in a statement released by Moore. “She was a role model for people of all colors, shapes and sizes. She was a shining star and always encouraged others to live out their dreams.” In Road Trip in 2000, a 300-pound Davis appeared in what was played as a comedic love scene with super skinny D.J. Qualls.
