The Weekend is Brought to You The Llama Song

We don't know why this song is 10 hours long, but since it's the weekend and it's still freezing outside... enjoy. (PS: If donkeys are more your style, check out the Donkey Song.) In the meantime, take a look (or a second look) at what you might've missed this week.

• A woman stabbed her uncle's girlfriend to death because she was 19 and he was 50-something.
• Fake butt doctor Black Madam took the stand in her murder trial and claimed she was only trying to improve women self esteem by injecting them with industrial silicone and Krazy Glue. Then she spilled some juice tea: Amber Rose and Chris Brown's girlfriend are walking around with fake butts because she was the person who injected them with fake silicone. Plus, she extorted a real doctor for years!

Cheating Wife, Lover Get Stuck Together During Sex

Sometimes these stories out of Africa are so fantastical we don't even believe them, but and however....

A cheating wife's tryst with her toy boy lover turned out to be an agonising clinch after her vagina went into spasm – literally making the pair inseparable. Sasha Ngema, 34, thought she would take advantage while her husband was away and have a sneaky romp with her 22-year-old lover Sol Qoboza at a rented flat in Johannesburg, South Africa. But the passionate encounter ended up being a torturous affair, according to reports on the local press. And the more they screamed the more the crowds from outside could not resist trying to catch a glimpse of the unfortunate coupling. Neighbor Priscilla Ndlovu, 34, said: "At first I thought it was just the screams of sexual pleasure, but it turned out to be screams for help. I knocked on the door to see if everything was OK, and when I went in I saw him lying on top of her sobbing as she screamed to be freed." Police eventually arrived and had to disperse the 2,000 strong crowd with pepper spray who were shouting: "We want to see them! Show us the cheaters!" Rumors quickly spread that her husband, Neil, 42, had used a witch doctor to curse her. The spell – known as a muthi – is designed to ensure anyone who is not the husband who attempts to have sex with the woman will remain stuck until the husband returns to have his revenge.

'Hot Felon' Jeremy Meeks is Getting Ripped in Prison in Preparation for Modeling, Acting Career

Jeremy Meeks, the convicted felon who became Internet famous last year after his mugshot went viral, says he's looking forward to a career in modeling and acting after his release from prison.

“Hot Convict” Jeremy Meeks says he’s eager to serve out his sentence and is looking ahead to starting a career in modeling and acting. “I’m in a place where I will be able to provide for my family and really change my life,” Meeks told ABC News from a Nevada prison. “I never thought that everyone in the world would recognize me for my looks, so I feel extremely blessed and very thankful.” [...] Meeks is now working with agent Jim Jordan of White Cross Management and said he plans to take full advantage of his viral fame. In preparation for his release and foray into modeling, Meeks said that he is working on getting ripped. “I eat healthy. I do a lot of push-ups, pull-ups, dips, burpees, and I stay very active,” he said. Meeks said he wants to try his hand at both modeling and acting. “I wish I could be on a show like 'Sons of Anarchy,'” said Meeks. Jordan is confident Meeks’ notoriety can propel him into a successful career. “There is a sea of opportunities waiting for him,” Jordon said, who is working to set Meeks up with “modeling agencies around the world, endorsement deals and reality show interests.” As for that mug shot, Meeks said he wasn't intentionally giving his best “blue steel” for the picture. “I was just thinking about missing my family,” he said. “I was really thinking about my son a lot at that moment, that was the only thing that was on my mind.” Until then, Meeks said he is keeping his head down and relying on backing from the outside. “I've got a lot of support my family, my friends, and from my fans -- I get hundreds and hundreds of letters every month. I’m very thankful for all the support I've been getting,” Meeks said.

The 30-year-old was arrested last June in a gang crackdown in Stockton, California, and pleaded guilty in November to one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Last January, he was sentenced to 27 months in prison and ordered to participate in a substance abuse treatment program while incarcerated. He's hoping to be released early (this November), factoring time served and credit for good behavior.

The Republican Party Is For the Birds

We rarely cover politics here, but what happened tonight in Washington is just embarrassing -- for the country!

Bordering on dysfunction, Congress passed a one-week bill late Friday night to avert a partial shutdown of the Homeland Security Department, as leaders in both political parties quelled a revolt by House conservatives furious that the measure left President Barack Obama's immigration policy intact. The final vote of a long day and night was a bipartisan 357-60 in the House, a little more than an hour after the Senate cleared the measure without so much as a roll call. That sent the legislation to the White House for Obama's signature, and capped a day of bruising political battles and rhetoric to match. "You have made a mess," House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said at one point to Republicans, as recriminations filled the House chamber and the midnight deadline neared for a partial shutdown of an agency with major anti-terrorism responsibilities. Even some Republicans readily agreed. "There are terrorist attacks all over world and we're talking about closing down Homeland Security. This is like living in world of crazy people," tweeted Rep. Peter King of New York, a former chairman of the Homeland Security Committee. Hours after conservatives joined with Democrats to vote down a three-week funding measure, 224-203, the Senate presented a one-week alternative to keep open the agency, which has responsibility for border control as well as anti-terrorist measures. That amounted to a take-it-or-leave it offer less than three hours before the deadline. Some Republican opponents -- members of a "Freedom Caucus" -- sat together in the chamber as the vote total mounted in the legislation's favor. This time, Pelosi urged her rank-and-file to support the short-term measure, saying it would lead to passage next week of a bill to fund the agency through the Sept. 30 end of the budget year without immigration add-ons. Aides to Speaker John Boehner promptly said there had been no such promise made. Taken together, the day's roller-coaster events at the Capitol underscored the difficulty Republicans have had so far this year in translating last fall's election gains into legislative accomplishment -- a step its own leaders say is necessary to establish the party's credentials as a responsible, governing party. Republicans gained control of the Senate in November's balloting, and emerged with their largest House majority in more than 70 years. Further demonstrating GOP woes, House GOP leaders abruptly called off a vote on a major education bill that had attracted significant opposition from conservatives as well as Democrats and the White House. Aides attributed that decision to the need to work separately on rounding up enough votes to pass the funding measure for Homeland Security. For their part, tea party conservatives in the House unflinchingly defended their actions. "It does not make any difference whether the funding is for three weeks, three months or a full fiscal year. If it's illegal, it's illegal," said Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala. He referred to a pair of immigration directives issued by Obama. The first, in 2012, lifted the threat of deportation from many immigrants brought to the country illegally as youngsters. Another order last fall applied to millions more who are in the United States unlawfully. The unexpected House defeat of a three-week spending bill was accomplished by 52 conservatives upset by the deletion of the immigration provisions, alongside solid opposition from Democrats who wanted the agency funded through Sept. 30. That set an unpredictable chain of events in motion. Homeland Security officials circulated a lengthy contingency plan indicating that about 30,000 employees could expect to be furloughed without passage of funding legislation. Then the White House announced Obama had spoken with Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid. Moments later, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky strode onto the Senate floor and swiftly gained approval for the seven-day measure. The Senate had waited all day to play its part in the funding of the agency. Earlier, a largely symbolic attempt to advance legislation that would repeal Obama's immigration directive of last fall failed on a vote of 57-42, three short of the 60 required. That separate proposal was "commonsense legislation that would protect our democracy from the egregious example of executive overreach we saw in November," said McConnell, who successfully led his rank and file in recent days to a decision to pass Homeland Security legislation without immigration-related provisions. Some House Republicans said the entire strategy of passing a short-term measure and seeking negotiations on a longer-term bill that included changes in Obama's immigration policy was flawed. They noted that Senate Democrats had demonstrated their ability to block any challenges to Obama's immigration policies, and that the president had vowed to veto them in any event. "Some folks just have a harder time facing political reality than others," said Rep. Charlie Dent, R-Pa., speaking of other Republicans.

Republicans and Democrats (and all politicians, for that matter) need to do what's best for the country, not what's best for them to get re-elected. FACTS: Obamacare is the law of the land and will not be repealed. The president's executive actions on immigration will not be withdrawn, so everyone (read: Republicans) needs to stop being divisive and find ways to bring people together. PS: The America people don't want to go to war with Iran or any other nation or entity in the Middle East so quit trying to make that happen.

Kelly Osbourne Leaves 'Fashion Police'

Days after "Fashion Police" co-host Kelly Osbourne threatened to quit the show following a scandal involving co-host Giuliana Rancic and Disney star Zendaya Coleman, she quit OR, as we believe to true, she was fired. "Kelly Osbourne is departing E!'s 'Fashion Police' to pursue other opportunities, and we would like to thank her for her many contributions to the series over the past five years," the network confirmed in a statement. “'Fashion Police' will return, as scheduled, on Friday, March 30th at 9 p.m. and no decisions have been made on her replacement." The Internet became offended after Monday’s episode when Giuliana critiqued Zendaya’s faux dreadlocks on the red carpet at the Academy Awards, saying she felt that the 18-year-old actress smelled like “patchouli oil” and “weed.” Zendaya immediately called out the implied racial stereotype as “ignorant.” “There is already a harsh criticism of African American hair in society without the help of ignorant people who choose to judge others based on the curl of their hair,” she wrote in a long Instagram message. Kelly, who said nothing on the show when Giuliana made the comment, started tweeting up a storm when the criticism arrived fast and harsh the following day. ”I DO NOT CONDONE RACISM SO AS A RSULT OF THIS IM SEREIOULSY QUESTIONONIG STAYING ON THE SHOW!” she wrote. The Internet lit up with harsh criticism against Giuliana, who apologized on Twitter saying she meant it as a critique of “bohemian chic” style: “Had NOTHING to do with race and NEVER would!!!” She also offered an apology the next night on “E! News,” and told “Access Hollywood” that she didn’t even write the joke herself. Zendaya accepted it the apology with another lengthy Instagram statement. “Giuliana, I appreciate your apology and I’m glad it was a learning experience for you and for the network,” she wrote. “I hope that others negatively affected by her words can also find it in their hearts to accept her apology as well.” As far as "Fashion Police" goes, we hope E! just cancels it as most people hoped following Joan Rivers' death, because the show sucks now. Sorry.

Fake Butt Doctor Claims Amber Rose, Chris Brown's Girlfriend Were Regular Clients

As predicted, there was more tea spilled at the murder trial of Padge-Victoria Windslowe aka "Black Madam," when she took the stand for the second day of testimony. Yesterday, Black Madam, who's on trial for murdering a British dancer in 2011 after illegal buttock enhancement surgery at a pumping party, told the jury she performed this illegal and deadly operations because she wanted to help people. Today she told the jury she injected industrial strength silicone into the backside of Amber Rose during her two-year relationship with Kanye West and "Chris Brown's girlfriend." She didn't name names, but the only girlfriends we are aware the convicted felon has/had are Rihanna and Karrueche Tran. Girl!

Her clients testified that Black Madam Padge-Victoria Windslowe boasted of doing buttocks enhancement injections on celebrities but said privacy rules would not let her name names. On Friday, in Windslowe's second day of testimony in her Philadelphia murder trial in the 2011 death of a British dancer who went to her for silicone injections, Windslowe abandoned the privacy rules and the names started dropping. Model, hip-hop artist and Philly native Amber Rose came for silicone injections, Windslowe testified, and left "a walking billboard" for the quality of her work. Windslowe said Rose told her friends and soon a stream of celebrities or their significant others of the moment were setting up appointments. Chris Brown's girlfriend got some injections and rapper and "American Idol" judge Nicki Minaj was supposed to but never made it. Details were sketchy, such as the name of Brown's girlfriend, or exactly when and where Windslowe performed the procedures. Questioned by Assistant District Attorney Carlos Vega, Windslowe said she injected the 31-year-old Rose when she was dating rapper Kanye West. Vega feigned surprise and asked Windslowe why a woman dating a multimillionaire would choose a woman who performs buttocks injections in hotel rooms rather than a famous plastic surgeon? "I'm the best," replied Windslowe, who has said she was called the "Michelangelo of buttocks injections." Rose's representative could not immediately be reached for comment.

At this point, Black Madam has nothing to lose -- since she will eventually be found guilty of murder -- so she needs to name ALL names.

You know what, this Boynton Beach man ↑↑↑ was so over it.

After being spurned by his niece for a ride to the liquor store, a Boynton Beach man decided he should burn something: his house, according to authorities. Inspectors from the Division of the State Fire Marshal said Jerome Clemons, 44, did just that. He was arrested Wednesday. On Dec. 14, Clemons — who had already been drinking — asked his niece for a ride to the liquor store, according to a report from the agency. She told investigators she told him "No" and they got into an argument. To avoid further confrontation, the woman said she left the house. Not long afterward, Clemons' brother arrived at the house. He told investigators Clemons was standing out on the porch mumbling to himself about being "tired of it all," according to the report. His brother started making dinner and went out to see if Clemons was OK. Then, he saw a huge flame burning at the northeast corner of the house. Clemons' brother was able to extinguish the fire with a hose. Officials said the structural damage was minimal, but a garbage container and an all-terrain vehicle were slightly damaged. Boynton Beach fire officials later found Clemons walking down the street with a large burn on his forearm. Investigators determined Clemons poured gasoline against the wall outside and on the all-terrain vehicle and lit the fire while his brother was inside. Clemons had left the hospital before Boynton Beach police were able to detain him. He is charged with arson and is being held at the Palm Beach County Jail without bail.

83-year-old Lady Busted For Stealing Live Lobsters From Grocery Store For a Month

An 83-year-old woman is facing shoplifting charges for her part in a shoplifting ring that stole live lobsters from an Atlanta grocery store. According to police, surveillance video from the Great Wall Supermarket showed Luciana Vonberman stuffing live lobsters into her purse at least three times within 23 days. Luciana could be seen with her back to the camera sitting in a mobile cart at the store, while her son, Jason Vonberman, takes a bag of lobsters out of his cart to put them in his mother's purse while another woman (Yong Chen) served as a lookout. Store employees called police, who confronted the trio while exiting the store. When an officer looked in her purse, he says he found two containers of oysters and a bag of ginger on top of other items. While issuing Luciana a citation for misdemeanor shoplifting, police say she begged to go to the restroom, where removed six live lobsters from her purse and placed them into the trash. Authorities did not arrest Luciana because she was in poor health, instead giving her, her son and Yong warnings. They were all told to never set foot in the supermarket again. An arrest warrant was later issued for Jason Vonberman, who remains at-large.

Fake Butt Doc on Trial For Murder: 'I Just Wanted to Help People With Self-Esteem Issues'

We have been waiting for this day. What day is that you ask? The day Padge-Victoria Windslowe -- who is on trial for murdering Claudia Aderotimi, a 20-year-old British dancer in 2011, when she injected industrial silicone and Krazy glue into her buttocks at a pumping party -- took the stand in her own defense. She is as self-deluded as she is crafty.

In the 43 years since birth, Forest Leon Gordon has undergone one transition after another. There was the 1994 change from man to woman and the new name Padge-Victoria Windslowe; her 1999 baptism as "Genevieve" (French pronunciation) by the late Philadelphia Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua; her identity as Gothic hip-hop entertainer "Black Madam" and provider of illegal body enhancement as the self-styled "Michelangelo of buttocks injections." On Thursday, Windslowe transitioned again, taking center stage as first witness for the defense in her murder trial in the 2011 death of a dancer who underwent one of her silicone buttocks injections. Windslowe told a Philadelphia Common Pleas Court jury of six men and six women that what the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania called illegal she called a mission to bring buttocks enhancement to the masses, people who could not afford overpriced "American rock-star doctors." "I just tried to do the best, the best job I could," Windslowe testified during almost two hours on the witness stand. "I just wanted to help people, a lot of people with self-esteem issues . . . I loved being around the girls, they called me their fairy godmother." Her lawyer, David S. Rudenstein, told the jury in his Feb. 19 opening statement that Windslowe would testify that she believed the silicone liquid she injected into her clients was safe, and that she had used it on herself and her friends without harm. Windslowe acknowledged that the liquid silicone she bought from a Texas supplier was not medical grade but said "it was nontoxic. I was told you could drink it. That's why it's in me." Windslowe said she took the silicone lubricant and emulsified it with water to create a substance she called "hydrogel." She said she found that it held up better than injected body fat or medical-grade silicone, which she said was absorbed or disappeared in the body after injection. "I loved the way it worked," she added. "I felt like I was getting my money's worth." [...] Windslowe acknowledged that she had no formal medical training but insisted she knew what she was doing. Windslowe said she was taught to do buttocks injections by a nurse in Washington Heights in Upper Manhattan who had given her silicone injections. Although her clients testified that she had told them she was a "nurse-practitioner," Windslowe denied it. She said she worked for a time for a doctor in Bangkok, Thailand, who treated her during her gender transition. And she said she was taught how to use a hypodermic needle to aspirate tissue by a suburban Philadelphia doctor with whom she had an affair in 1993 and maintained contact with over the years - a fact that doctor strongly denied in testimony Tuesday. "I would hope [my clients] believed I knew what I was doing because I thought I knew what I was doing," Windslowe said. Windslowe strode to the witness stand in high heels, in a black dress and long black coat, hair pulled back and made up like a model. Her outfit came after two days of warnings by Judge Rose Marie DeFino-Nastasi that her blouses were too sheer or too revealing. At the end of the day - after ordering Windslowe to change out of an earlier blouse before Thursday's trial session began - the judge warned Windslowe to wear a similar ensemble Friday, whe she resumes her direct testimony. Windslowe remained self-assured through most of her testimony Thursday although she was overcome when she recalled how the woman who arranged for Aderotimi's procedure called her the next day and told her about the death. "She said, 'It's RIP baby, RIP,' and the way she said it was just coldly indifferent. It sounded so cold. That RIP rang through my soul for four years to the date," Windslowe said.

She'll be back on the stand tomorrow. We can't wait to hear what foolishness she'll spew then -- before she's convicted.

Lady Stole $25K From Little League Then 'Accidentally' Spent it on Fast Food, Cigarettes

A 50-year-old mother of six who embezzled more than $25,000 from her children's Southeast Portland Little League was sentenced Thursday to 45 days in jail and ordered to pay back the money she stole.

Lonnie Annette Reedy was so trusted by other parents that she became president of Taborvilla Little League, but investigators believe she was secretly frittering away the youth organization's money on fast food, airline tickets and other personal items from 2007 to 2013, investigators say. The money that Reedy took was hard-earned by kids selling candy bars and pepperoni sticks door to door, concession-stand profits, registration fees, sponsorships from local businesses and tournament proceeds, said Shawna Bolles, now president of the youth baseball organization. Bolles said Little League's board had asked Reedy repeatedly to provide printed records of the organization's financial accounts, but Reedy kept making excuses for why she couldn't produce them. After about a year of excuses, Bolles said she went to the bank herself and asked for a printout of account activity. That's when Bolles discovered that Reedy had been stealing, Bolles said. Bolles said she later learned that Reedy used it to go shopping at a nail salon, discount cigarette store, fast-food restaurants and more. Reedy also bought airline tickets for relatives and made a purchase from a home-shopping TV network on a Little League card, claiming that was an accident, Bolles said. "It's really hard to accept that she only received 45 days, but we're grateful that she received something," Bolles said. "We're grateful that it's over because it's been a very stressful 13 months for the league." [...] Authorities say she stole at least $25,000 over seven years but she was accused only of thefts in 2012 and 2013 because the statute of limitations was up on some of the previous thefts. In addition to jail time, Multnomah County Circuit Judge Greg Silver sentenced Reedy to three years of formal probation, 240 hours of community service and a drug evaluation and possible treatment. As part of her plea agreement, the judge placed three years of restrictions on Reedy: She must notify all potential employers of her theft convictions and she can't work in a position involving the handling of money without her probation officer's permission.

That option still only allows men or women, but users can click both options, one option or neither option. They can also hide it entirely.

This Lady Wants $1 Million a Month in Child Support

We don't know who this woman is, but clearly isn't... from this planet.

A multibillionaire hedge fund owner could be on the hook for nearly $1 million a month in child support -– including staggering sums for a private jet, vacations and stationery -– according to newly filed court documents in an Illinois case that threatens to be one of the biggest divorce settlements in the country. Ken Griffin filed for divorce last year from his wife Anne after 11 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple is the parents of three children, ages 2, 4 and 7. In those court filings, Ken Griffin says his estranged wife reported how much it costs to raise their children each month, including $14,000 for food, $300,000 for a private jet, $160,000 for vacations and $2,000 for stationery. [Plus: $8,000 for gifts, $60,000 for a private staff. And she wanted $450,000 for a St. Bart's vacation over winter break.] According to Illinois law, children of divorce are entitled to continue the lifestyle they enjoyed during the marriage. A spokesperson for Dias Griffin told ABC News that her husband is trying to avoid his financial responsibilities to his family. But Griffin said in court papers that he already pays for virtually “every expense related to the children,” and that his estranged wife simply wants him to "continue funding her lifestyle." The marriage included five homes, access to two private airplanes, a household staff and 24/7 security services for the children. Dias Griffin is also asking a judge to throw out her prenuptial agreement, which she says entitles her to only 1 percent of her husband’s estimated $5 billion estate -– or around $50 million. She says she signed the document under duress the day before the couple's 2003 wedding in Chicago. Griffin is the founder of the Chicago-based Citadel LLC.

Queen Jailed For Playing With 14-year-old Boy's Bird While He Slept

This queen ↑↑↑ is a sicko.

When her 14-year-old son began locking his bedroom door at night and shoving his bed against it, a Jonesboro mom knew there was a problem. When she asked him why he was doing this, the boy reportedly replied that 24-year-old Robert Wayne Jamison was keeping him awake at night trying to play with his “bird.” The mom explained to Detective Mike Branscum of the Jonesboro Police Department that “bird” was the term her 2 sons used to describe their genitals. According to court records, Jamison had been living with the family for 4 years. The victim told investigators Jamison would sleep on the couch in the living room. Then, when everyone went to sleep at night, Jamison would come into his room. The boy stated on 3 different occasions Jamison pulled his pajama bottoms down while he slept and fondled him, the affidavit stated. Each time the victim would awake and tell Jamison to get out of his room. Court documents stated Jamison moved out of the residence before the alleged abuse was revealed. Detectives contacted the Arkansas Child Abuse Hotline and an investigator with Arkansas State Police interviewed the victim. The boy reportedly told the investigator the same story he had given his mother. On January 7, Craighead County District Judge Keith Blackman found probable cause to charge Jamison with felony sexual assault-second degree and issued a warrant for his arrest.

Police responded to the 700 block of Norris Avenue Tuesday evening after being tipped off that three bodies were inside the home. Wednesday morning, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department's Violent Criminal Apprehension Team arrested 19-year-old Emmanuel Jesus Rangel (pictured, below) and charged him with three counts of first-degree murder. Police identified the victims Wednesday morning as former 'ANTM' contestant Mirjana Puhar, 19, Jusmar Isiah Gonzaga-Garcia, 21, and 23-year-old Jonathan Cosme Alvarado. Authorities say their preliminary investigation indicated the victims and the suspect are known to one another, and the shooting was drug-related. CMPD says Rangel also faces charges in connection with the murder of Rosool Jaleel Harrell, 22, over the weekend in Matthews. Matthews Police say two other suspects, who are in custody in Harris County, Texas, also face charges in the shooting at the Microtel on Matthews Mint Hill Road on Sunday; Edward Sanchez, 19, is charged with first-degree murder; Emily Ann Isaacs, 18, is charged with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder.

Lady Fined For Screaming Bible Verses Outside Homes, On City Streets

Martha Nagbe from Lisbon, North Dakota called the media because she was recently ordered to pay $150 in fines for “unnecessary noise." According to the chief of police, citizens have complained of Martha praying too loudly on city sidewalks and several neighbors have complained that they have been awaken by Martha "standing outside of their house shouting...for a lengthy period of time." Martha, whose husband is a pastor, believes she has the right to do whatever she wants to because this is America and laws and her neighbors' right to quiet enjoyment don't matter. "I can't stop. I'm trusting God," she says. “We all need prayers and great she’s out there praying for all of us, but it’s just the volume of her voice,” the police chief, counters. Amen.

Fake Butt Doctor Blackmailed Real Doctor For Years

The trial for Padge Victoria Windslowe, aka Black Madam -- who's charged with murdering a British student by injecting silicone and Krazy glue into her backside -- got a lil interesting today when her former lover, er, client took the stand. James Taterka, a gastroenterologist, told the court he never ordered the 58 gallons of industrial-grade silicone liquid Black Madam had shipped to his medical office nor did he ever train her how to inject substances into the body or help her obtain other supplies. He did admit, however, to a 3-month affair with the illegal butt doc and told the court she blackmailed him over the affair and demanded thousands of dollars.

In questioning Taterka, defense lawyer David S. Rudenstein focused on the history of the relationship between Taterka and Windslowe and whether the doctor was embarrassed because he began the affair when Windslowe, who is transgender, was then "in transition" from man to woman. "An affair is an affair," Taterka replied. "I cheated on my wife and I didn't want her to know about it." Taterka said he met Windslowe through an adult personal ad when she was a prostitute. The affair continued for three months before Taterka said he ended it. But every few years, he continued, Windslowe would call and he saw her five more times over the years. A few meetings ended in sex, he said, but inevitably Windslowe would ask for money and increasingly with what Taterka called "veiled threats." Taterka said he bought her a used Lexus, gave her $10,000 on one occasion and another $5,000 later to help her get a sound stage for her dream of a recording career as a Gothic hip-hop artist. When he balked at paying money, Taterka said, there were calls to his wife, threats to post an embarrassing video of him on YouTube and postings on his son's Facebook page. Then there was a posting on the Buzzfeed Internet site showing Taterka's photo under the headline "Bad Doctor." "The Philadelphia medical community will be shocked when they learn the doctor trained and supplied and loved the Black Madam," the Buzzfeed post read. "It was humiliating and terrifying," said Taterka, who said he hired an Internet reputation repair company to counter Windslowe's posts with positive postings about him. Ultimately, after Windslowe was arrested in February 2012, Taterka said he received two text messages from her. One asked for $17,000 to cover legal fees and the other $75,000 to bail her out of jail. Taterka said he never responded to either message. "This has been a continuing nightmare for me," he added.

You Can Now Pick Up Packages While Eating the Disgusting Food at the Waffle House

The Waffle House is not one our favorite places. Not only because they have roaches but also because the food is terrible. Starting today, however, the restaurant has thrown its hat into the shipping business, competing with the likes of FedEx, UPS and the United States Post Office. They hope to become the "Uber of package delivery."

Waffle House is working with a company called Roadie Inc to launch a new delivery service with Waffle House restaurants serving as dropoff points. Basically, customers will use Roadie’s app to find drivers already heading towards their packages’ destination. Those drivers will then deliver the mail to Waffle House locations, where the intended recipient can retrieve it. For their trouble, drivers get a free waffle when they download the app and a free drink when they make a delivery. “For the last 60 years, Waffle House has been a place for travelers and a preferred meeting place for our customers,” said Walt Ehmer, CEO of Waffle House, in a statement. “Roadie combines the two making it easy for senders and drivers who love waffles to meet at the nearest Waffle House. And who doesn’t love waffles?”

source: Fortune

According to the companies, any insured driver can sign up to be a Roadie driver after meeting certain safety criteria and passing a background check. "Senders" can select a Roadie driver to deliver their item. The price of a gig can range anywhere between $8 and $200, based on distance, item size and urgency. Roadie's insurance covers items up to $500, which is more than typical standard shipping insurance of $100.

About That $20

Man Jailed After Acting Out Scenes From 'Fifty Shades of Grey' on an Unwilling Participant

A 19-year-old freshman studying bio-nuclear engineering at the University of Illinois at Chicago was arrested and charged with felony aggravated criminal sexual assault. According to prosecutors, Mohammad Hossain assaulted a 19-year-old classmate student on Saturday. He told police he was re-enacting scenes from the film "50 Shades of Grey."

Prosecutors said Hossain and the woman went to Hossain's dorm room at about 5:30 p.m. Saturday. The two had "previously been intimate" but were not dating, said Assistant State's Attorney Sarah Karr. Once inside his dorm, in the 900 block of West Harrison Street, Hossain allegedly asked the woman to remove her clothing and she did, keeping on her bra and underwear, Karr said. He then bound her hands above her head and to a bed with a belt, used another belt to bind her legs and stuffed a necktie into her mouth, Karr said. Hossain used a knit cap to cover the woman's eyes, Karr said, and removed the woman's bra and underwear. He then began striking the woman with a belt. After hitting her several times, the woman told Hossain he was hurting her, told him to stop, "and began shaking her head and crying," said Karr. Hossain continued striking the woman — including with his fists, according to an arrest report — and she managed to get one arm, and then another, free. But he then held her arms behind her back and sexually assaulted her as she continued to plead for him to stop, according to Karr. Hossain's roommate came home soon after the assault and, prosecutors said, Hossain held the door shut to prevent him from entering. The woman then left and told another person what happened, then called police. Police arrested Hossain later that night in another dorm building in the 700 block of South Halsted Street, according to an arrest report. He was interviewed by UIC detectives and, according to Karr, admitted assaulting the woman and "doing something wrong." He allegedly told police he and the woman were re-enacting scenes from "50 Shades of Grey."

'He Just Went From Being a Police Officer to Being a Butt,' Says Woman Suing Police For Police Brutality

Last January, Tyesha Calhoun of Riverside, California was driving a car when she was hit by a drunk driver. Instead of calling 911, she called her family. Cops soon arrived at the seen anyway and, according to her, one of the officers "went from being a police officer to being a butt." Fearing for her safety, she say she called 911 and that's when the officer told her to shut up. When she decided to leave the scene, Tyesha says the officer snatched her hair and slammed her to the ground, punched her in the face and called her a "black bitch." She now has a nasty leg injury and is suing the police department for $10 million. For its part, the Riverside Police Department denies any wrongdoing and released 3 hours of dashcam videos and audio recordings to support their position.

This Man Plans to Sue Jack In The Box Because Worker 'Threw Drink at Him'

Last Saturday evening, Adrian Duncan says he ordered a meal in the drive-thru of a Jack In The Box restaurant in Houston when he got into an argument with the cashier over the price of his order. "I was like, 'Well why are you talking to me like that?' And she was like, 'Because you're coming around here asking me about a price,'" Adrain told the local NBC affiliate. "I said, 'Well that's not right. You don't talk to a customer like that.' I asked her what was her problem and that's when she hauled off and threw the drink at me." The large Dr Pepper with ice landed in his "$30,000 car." Adrian feels "humiliated" and is suffering from emotional distress, so obviously he's planning to sue. Obviously. HA! Cops are investigating the incident as a potential assault. HA! (PS: Jack in the Box says it was an accident and, even though there is no surveillance video of incident, everyone should talk their word for it. PPS: How You Doin, Adrain. Allriiiggghhht.)

What's That Smell?!

Indiana State Police say an Interstate 65 exit ramp in White County was closed Thursday afternoon after two tons of fecal matter spilled on the roadway. Police believe a tanker accidentally spilled the raw sewage, which was 6 to 8 inches deep in places on the ramp. Since it's freezing everywhere, the ankle-deep waste quickly froze, causing a "causing a toxic poopsicle, as well as a traffic hazard." Cops were unsuccessful in finding the drive responsible, the driver of the truck but were unsuccessful. It is likely the driver won't even realize he lost the load until he gets to a wastewater treatment plant.

Bobbi Kristina's Breathing Tube Removed

Doctors have removed Bobbi Kristina's breathing tube to help prevent infection, but her condition has not changed, according to family members. The 21-year-old daughter of the late Whitney Houston was found face down in a bathtub full of water on January 31 at her Roswell, Georgia, residence.

Almost three weeks after she was found unresponsive in a bathtub, Bobbi Kristina Brown is still fighting for her life. Doctors have removed her breathing tube, two sources close to the family told CNN on Thursday, one day after the procedure supposedly took place. Brown, daughter of late singing star Whitney Houston, will now be ventilated through a hole in her throat. "This is an indication that the patient will need this for weeks and months to come, as opposed to hours and days," said CNN's chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta. He said the move lowers the risk of infection and is standard procedure. Brown, 21, remains in a medically induced coma at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. Doctors are attempting to slowly lift her coma, according to sources close to the family. The extent of her injuries is not known.

Illegal Butt Injections Murder Suspect Tells Judge She's 'Michelangelo of Buttocks Injections'

In 2011, a British student died after attending a pumping party inside a Philadelphia hotel room hosted by this tranny ↑↑↑, who injected industrial silicone and Krazy Glue into the student's butt. Victoria Windslowe, who's known as "Black Madam," is currently on trial for that murder and during a last-minute pretrial hearing this morning, she took the stand and told the judge she was known as the "Michelangelo of buttocks injections."

"A lot of people came to me. ... My work spoke for itself," Windslowe, 43, told Judge Rose Marie DeFino-Nastasi. The hearing was about whether Assistant District Attorneys Carlos Vega and Bridget Kirn may present evidence of "prior bad acts" - buttocks enhancements that went bad before the 2011 death of British exotic dancer Claudia Aderotimi. Windslowe testified that she knew nothing about the hospitalization of a New York woman after a 2008 incident where she injected silicone into four women in a Philadelphia hotel room. And she maintained that the cosmetic enhancement she performed were safe: "It's an art, it's body sculpting. God blessed my hands with everything I touched," Windslowe testified. The judge allowed the prosecutors to use the evidence of the 2008 incident and the lawyers are to begin opening statements later this morning. On Wednesday, in another pretrial proceeding, DeFino-Nastasi denied a defense motion to abort the trial because of the absence of a key prosecution witness. The judge ruled that the 2012 preliminary hearing testimony of witness Theresa Gyamfi may instead be read to the trial jury. Defense attorney David S. Rudenstein had argued that prosecutors did not tell him until Wednesday morning that Gyamfi, a British citizen, refused to return to the United States to testify in Windslowe's trial. Moreover, Rudenstein said, prosecutors had known about Gyamfi's refusal to return as far back as last April, when his illness forced postponement of the trial. Windslowe, who has been imprisoned on $750,000 bail since her arrest in February 2012, was effervescent as ever during Wednesday's hearing hearing. She flirted with prosecutor Vega and afterward cooed at Rudenstein, "I'm very happy with you Mr. Rudenstein; you made my day a delight." "Well, that's good," deadpanned Rudenstein. Kirn said they worked with the FBI and got Scotland Yard to go to Gyamfi's London home to try to convince her to change her mind without success. Scotland Yard officials said they had no authority to compel a witness to go to another country to testify - even if all expenses were paid. Kirn said her last contact with Gyamfi was a Feb. 5 e-mail exchange in which she said Gyamfi wrote: "I think I will pray that all will go well. I'm leaving everything in the Lord's hands and I will not be willing to travel." Vega argued against delaying the trial. He noted that, at the Oct. 10, 2012 preliminary hearing, the judge gave Windslowe's then-attorney extra latitude in questioning Gyamfi. Vega said he worried then that Gyamfi might refuse to travel or could become seriously ill or die because she also received silicone injections to enhance her buttocks at one of Windslowe's so-called "pumping parties." Gyamfi testified at the preliminary hearing that she was present on Feb. 11, 2011 when 20-year-old exotic dancer Claudia Aderotimi received a silicone injection in her buttocks. Moments later, Gyamfi testified, Aderotimi began complaining of a growing pain in her chest. Twelve hours later, Aderotimi, who had traveled from London to a Philadelphia hotel room for the injection, was dead. In addition to third-degree murder in Aderotimi's death, Windslowe is charged with aggravated assault for an injection she gave 23-year-old exotic dancer Shurkia King on Feb. 19, 2012 at a pumping party at an East Germantown home. King wound up hospitalized, vomiting blood and struggling to breathe. Doctors found that silicone injected into her buttocks had migrated in her body and fragments were in her heart and lungs. Though she has no medical training, Windslowe - once a "gothic hip-hop performer who called herself Black Madam" - she allegedly charged $1,000 to $1,800 per injection for illegal buttocks enhancements.

Here's the Juicy, Detailed Police Report from Warren Sapp's Solicitation Arrest

Earlier this month former NFL analyst Warren Sapp was in Phoenix to cover the Super Bowl, but he ended up in jail and lost in job in one fell swoop. The 42-year-old was arrested and charged with soliciting prostitution and two counts of assault. Now, details about that night have been released by the police in this report. According to investigators, Warren was in the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Phoenix on Feb. 2 at the bar when he struck up a conversation with 23-year-old Britney Osborne and 34-year-old Quying Jamie Boyd, who claimed to be dancers at a popular Las Vegas strip club. Warren, along with one is co-workers invited the woman back to his room. Warren's co-worker left a short time later and the women said they were dancing for Warren when he gave each of them $300 for sex. Britney immediately got to her knees and started to give Warren a professional, which he recorded on his cellphone. Quying told police she refused to partake and Warren told her if she's not going to do anything, she needed to leave. She gathered her belongings and went to the bathroom to hide out until Britney was done. However, a few minutes later she heard Warren and Britney arguing. When Quying went back into the room, she claimed Warren "tackled" them and physically pushed both of them out of the room. According to the report, Britney (who was wearing a Seahawks jersey and yoga pants) had scratch marks to her forearms. In his interview with investigators, Warren admitted he "gave each girl $300, brand new hundred dollar bills." He claimed an argument ensued because the women wanted more money for intercourse and he felt he didn't need to pay them anymore, so he asked them to leave. He said Britney spit in his face, so he gathered their clothing in a pile and told them to get out. He denied assaulting the women.

The complete report is below, but here are some tidbits.

Doctoral Student Creates Tattoo Removal Cream

Alec Falkenham, a 27-year-old PhD student at Canada's Dalhousie University has developed a topical cream that he says will make tattoo ink eventually fade away at a nominal price. "When comparing it to laser-based tattoo removal, in which you see the burns, the scarring, the blisters, in this case, we've designed a drug that doesn't really have much off-target effect," he told the CBC. "We're not targeting any of the normal skin cells, so you won't see a lot of inflammation. In fact, based on the process that we're actually using, we don't think there will be any inflammation at all and it would actually be anti-inflammatory."

During tattooing, ink is injected into the skin. The ink initiates an immune response, and cells called "macrophages" move into the area and "eat up" the ink. The macrophages carry some of the ink to the body's lymph nodes. But some of those macrophages that are filled with ink stay put, embedded in the skin. That's what makes the tattoo visible under the skin. Falkenham's topical cream works by targeting the macrophages that have remained at the site of the tattoo. New macrophages move in to consume the previously pigment-filled macrophages and then migrate to the lymph nodes, eventually taking all the dye with them. There's no injection and no inflammation, and Falkenham says the tattoo should fade away.

Alec says the cream, which will cost $4.50 CAD per treatment, is best for tattoos that are more than two years old. He doesn't yet many applications will be required to completely fade a tattoo, nor does he know when the product will become available, as he;'s still seeking more funding for research.

Cops Are Tapping Your Cellphone Without Your Knowledge

While this might not come as surprise, law enforcement agencies across the country are tapping your cellphone on a daily basis without a search warrant or you knowing. According to report by KSLA, these law enforcement agencies are accessing your contacts, call lists and text messages. So, how do they do it? Your cellphone is programmed to automatically connect to the strongest nearby cell tower. A device known as an International Mobile Subscriber Identity Catcher, or IMSI catcher, can pretend to be a legitimate cell phone tower and let the cops quickly search large numbers of cellphones in the area. It can sometimes be mounted in a police vehicle, or even in an airplane flying overhead. These devices go by several names, including Kingfish, Stingray, Harpoon, and Hailstorm. In Louisiana, cops say they use this technology for "urban search and rescue." Whatever that means. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to prevent cops from tapping your cell phone -- aside from not owning a cellphone.

Judge Orders Woman to Write Letters to Man Who Beat Her, Slit Her Throat

A British woman who was tortured for seven hours and had her throat slashed in front of her twin sons has been forced to write to her attacker, and could face jail herself if she refuses. According to reports, Natalie Allman, 29, feared for her life as she was battered with a dumb-bell and required reconstructive surgery after evil Jason Hughes, 42, left her with deep lacerations on her neck. He also tried to suffocate her with a pillow. Natalie survived the horrific attack, which left her with eight wounds to her head and five broken bones in her face. Jason was ­sentenced to nine years in 2012 to 9 years in prison for the assault.

But now a judge has ordered Ms Allman must send three letters a year to Hughes, updating him on their five-year-old boys, including photographs, every Easter, September and December. The order has been made under parental rights laws, and if Ms Allman does not comply she will be in contempt of court, and could be imprisoned. Ms Allman said: "We are the victims, not him. I thought he was going to kill me that night for no reason and my boys saw that. They were terrified. "'I'm so angry that the law still defends his parental rights and that he is still being allowed to control us from behind bars. "I couldn't believe it. I could end up being split up from my children and sent to prison when he was the one who attacked me. I'm the one being treated like a criminal."'.... On February 3, 2011, as Ms Allman lay in bed, Hughes launched the terrifying seven-hour attack on his ex, attempting to smother her with a pillow before repeatedly bludgeoning her with a dumb bell. Ms Allman had told Winchester Crown Court how she had woken up to find Hughes sitting astride her hitting her with the weight. He then used the blade from a mini-tool to slash a 20cm-long cut across her throat, narrowly missing her major artery by a few millimetres. Hughes, who had received training with bayonets and knives as part of his Army training, only let Ms Allman call an ambulance seven hours later. When officers arrived at the home they found the couple's terrified sons, then two, in bed with their mother and covered in blood. She was rushed to Hereford Hospital and Hughes was arrested by officers at the scene.... Defending Hughes, Abigail Nixon said if Hughes had intended to kill Natalie then he could have done so because of his military training. Ms Nixon said: "His intention was to cause a hideous scar she could not hide if she had dressed up to look pretty. "'He was trying to make her look ugly to other men."
