• Ferguson Protesters Pepper-Sprayed for Infiltrating STL Police HQ

    We may have closed the book on 2014, but that does not mean the tension between Ferguson, Missouri, protesters and St. Louis, Missouri, police officers is over — not by any means. Instead, a group of 75 protesters proved last night, Dec. 31, 2014, that the racially charged divide is going to be an issue that follows us into this new year, 2015. The protesters served a literal eviction notice to St. Louis police officers late last night and many found themselves either pepper-sprayed or arrested. As part of their "March to the Arch" protest, several members of the group purposely went into the lobby of STL police headquarters and then proceeded to read off a list of demands and they posted hundreds of eviction notices on the outside of the building for alleged police brutality. Nineteen protesters were eventually arrested, primarily because they were laying in the middle of the road blocking the flow of traffic. The group had originally intended to occupy the area of the headquarters for four hours to commemorate how long Michael Brown lied dead in the street after being shot by Darren Wilson.

  • Amanda Bynes Reportedly Off Meds, but Lucid, Back on Track

    Just a few short months ago we were talking about how Amanda Bynes' parents had all but given up on her. They had literally washed their hands of trying to help her get her life under control and were done with the court battles over hospitalizing the once popular actress. In fact Bynes parents packed their bags and left California all-together to be closer to their other, saner daughter. After a few months of acting out and racking up another DUI, Bynes is reportedly doing much better.

  • 'RHONJ's' Teresa Giudice is Losing It, Believes Her Phones are Tapped by the Feds

    Teresa Giudice has only two short weeks of freedom left before she has to report to a prison camp in Connecticut and as the days wind down the fallen reality star is certainly struggling. We already told you that earlier this week the Feds actually raided the Giudice's mansion in New Jersey because they seem to be completely incapable of following the rules that the court has laid out for them. Teresa and her husband, Joe Giudice still owe over $214K in restitution and they were required to submit a payment plan. When they neglected to do so federal agents moved in and took cash, valuables and even the kids Christmas presents to auction off in an attempt to settle the debt. Now we're hearing that Teresa believes the government is watching and listening in on everything that she says and does.

  • It Looks Like Charles Manson Has Married Afton Burton, 26

    Charles Manson may be serving a life sentence in a California prison for being the ringleader of a cult and ultimately responsible for the deaths of seven people, but that has not stopped him from apparently getting married. Afton Burton is a 26-year-old woman who became obsessed with the mass-murderer while still a teenager. She eventually left her home in Illinois in order to reside near him in California and spends her days working on ways to try and secure Manson's freedom. The couple recently filed for a marriage license and just yesterday Burton was spotted wearing what looks like a plain wedding band. After applying for their license, Manson and Afton had 90 days to carry out an actual wedding ceremony, but they were at the mercy of the prison. It would have to either be on one of Manson's regular visiting days or else a holiday such as Thanksgiving. There is no confirmation that the couple actually exchanged vows, but the ring was not on Burton's finger before this weekend, which makes things a bit more interesting.

  • Jimmy Fallon Has Been Named 'EW' 2014 Entertainer of the Year

    A few days after we all flip our calendars to December, it begins: the year-end best and worst of everything lists that pop up in nearly every major publication. It only makes sense that "Entertainment Weekly" would be leading the pack with its selections of the biggest hits and most epic fails of the year. Its selection for the 2014 Entertainer of the Year is Jimmy Fallon, and really, can anyone even begin to offer up a valid argument against "EW's" selection? Fallon took over "The Tonight Show's" hosting duties from Jay Leno just as the Sochi Olympics were wrapping up, and he kind of did the unthinkable. Fallon's ratings were really high for his first few nights at the helm of "The Tonight Show," and then they got better. Not even a year into his new gig and his ratings are better than Leno's were even in his much-hyped final weeks on NBC. So what is the secret to Fallon's groundbreaking success?

  • Amanda Bynes Bought Cartier for Complete Strangers, Family Awarded Conservatorship Again

    Yesterday we told you there was a chance that Amanda Bynes's parents would not be attempting to gain a conservatorship over their daughter's assets because they did not want to make things even worse than they already are. It has been more than two weeks since Bynes was basically tricked onto a plane surrounded by people who would eventually deliver her safely to an inpatient psychiatric facility and the former actress is still furious. Well, yesterday her parents decided to protect her assets and did in another conservatorship over Bynes — buying Cartier jewelry for complete strangers did not help matters.

  • Penalty Retrial Jury to Be Seated Next Week in Jodi Arias Trial as Defense Team Fights to Get Death Penalty Off the Table

    Selecting a jury in the penalty retrial of convicted murderer Jodi Arias has been easier than many first anticipated. Arias was found guilty of murdering her on-again/off-again boyfriend Travis Alexander in June 2008. Arias changed her story several times while on trial, but what was clear was that stabbing Alexander 30 times, slitting his throat and then shooting the victim seemed like a display of overkill rather than self-defense. Jurors originally agreed and convicted Arias, but then the case went sideways during the first penalty phase. Some 300 potential jurors were interviewed for the second shot at a penalty phase in Arias's case, and the official panel is expected to be seated Tuesday, Oct. 21. Her defense team is fighting to get the death penalty off the table.
