• 'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Has Turned Herself in to Danbury Federal Prison to Begin Serving 15-Month Sentence

    The first day of the next 15 months of Teresa Giudice's life has finally arrived. "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star turned herself in to Danbury Federal Correctional Institution at around 3 a.m. this morning, Jan. 5, accompanied by her attorney, James J. Leonard Jr. Her husband, Joe Giudice, stayed behind with the couple's four children, no doubt one of the hardest days of their lives.When asked about Giudice's mindset this morning, Leonard claims his client actually was holding up well, all things considered. He told northjersey.com that Giudice was:"Very, very strong. Very, what I would say is, very anxious to get this thing started and very anxious to get it behind her. In all of my discussions with her, her singular focus has been on her four children. She's never talked about what is this gonna be like for me. Always her concern is with her children, not with herself. We worked it out with the prison. They wanted her to report at 3 a.m. We actually got to Danbury at about a quarter to 2. Then we went and found a diner and had something to eat. We just talked and then when we were done, we went to the prison."Leonard also said the prison staff was kind to Giudice and answered her questions about visitation and phone calls. No doubt this is the start of reality finally hitting the reality star and her kids as well. Her oldest daughter, Gia Giudice, has already shown some understandable emotional cracks, and this past weekend was tough on the 13-year-old.

  • AirAsia was Not Permitted to Fly Surabaya-to-Singapore Route on Day of Crash

    As if a lost plane and over 120 missing passengers that have yet to be recovered isn't enough for AirAsia to have to handle, we're learning that the carrier could ultimately find itself in a lot of trouble or even have operations completely shuttered.

  • Renuka Reddy Bankulla was the Anesthesiologist Involved in Joan Rivers Botched Procedure

    The series of events leading up to the unexpected and untimely death of Joan Rivers are quite complicated, mainly because the staff at Yorkville Endoscopy Center have worked really hard to keep things as under wraps as possible. We have gotten the distinct impression that Melissa Rivers' legal team has been slowly but surely piecing things together themselves because very few details have been willingly handed over. The media has been all over this from the beginning because it has always seemed like malpractice was involved. Today we've learned that the anesthesiologist in that procedure room with Joan was a woman named Renuka Reddy Bankulla.

  • NYPD Officer's Turn Their Backs as Mayor De Blasio Eulogizes Officer Wenjian Liu

    NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio is going to have a real uphill battle in regaining the trust and respect of the NYPD. Tensions between officers and City Hall appear to be at an all-time high in terms of strain and while there have been calls for civility towards the mayor, it seems the NYPD is still too angry to be anything more than disrespectful. On Sunday morning, the second officer assassinated while eating lunch in his patrol car in Brooklyn a few weeks ago was finally laid to rest but not without officers turning their backs, yet again, on the Mayor.

  • O.T. Genasis's 'CoCo' Gets Video Makeover with Cars, Women, Coco [WATCH]

    O.T. Genasis burst onto the music fan's consciousness with his cocaine-inspired single "CoCo." It has caught on like wildfire, glorifying the "love for the coco." Now his single has gotten a new music video with all the hip-hop music video stereotypes of fancy cars, scantily clad and beautiful women, big boats and, of course, Genasis's beloved coco.This new, higher-budget video comes as Genasis gets signed to Busta Rhymes's Conglomerate Records and thus more resources at his disposal. There was something raw about the original, but the new clip makes the track more accessible to mainstream viewers.Filmed in some large waterfront Miami mansion, there are plenty of twerking women on Ferraris, large piles of baking soda and overly exaggerated hand gestures. He even gets his own coco cake at the end, presumably using all of that baking soda or flour in the video.As one might expect, Busta and O.T Genasis get a few celebrity cameos from DJ Khaled, surprisingly without his headphones, and Ice Cube, who just sits off to the side in a room of his own with some random woman.
