| Pam's story 1: 'Mom, let's kill ourselves'
On a sunny Sunday morning in early fall, Mesa police Lt. Kevin Kazmaier drove his wife and youngest son home early from church, before 12-year-old Zack could disrupt the Mormon service and embarrass his brother again. A 6-part series Today: Together in death Monday: By the book Tuesday: Troubled pasts Wednesday: I am not their servant Thursday: New hair, new underwear Friday: You dont throw people away Zack had been spiraling out of control for weeks, but no hospital would take him. Years of psychiatric medications and advancing puberty were buffeting his mind and body. He was manic, attacking brother Mike with a paper-towel rod and threatening to kill himself at every turn. Sixth grade at Field Elementary School began with such promise, but now his teachers were saying they just couldnt handle him.
Complaint Keeps Police Movin', Movin', Movin'
You just gotta know that whenever PETA, a mayor and a city attorney and stunned animals are involved, you've got a Three Stooges episode waiting to happen.Lipscomb said the incident on which the allegations are based happened two and a half years ago, beyond the statute of limitations for misdemeanors. Lipscomb added that although he has not seen it, he's "pretty much sure there is a video."Womack said he has not seen the video, but he expects a full investigation into the matter to be conducted. "The allegations brought by PETA have merit, based on information provided me by more than one person," he said.Bell said no one at PETA had seen the video, but the group believes the person who made the complaint is a reliable source. Bell declined to name the informant.So, at the time the story ran in the newspaper, neither PETA, Womack nor Lipscomb had seen the video, but they're all sure it exists.That, my friends, is how Santa Claus got started - and now he costs us each thousands of dollars a year in presents that have to be exchanged later.In the officer's defense, though, maybe the cow was non-compliant.
Britney Spears' Ex Dumped From American Idol
Britney Spears' ex-boyfriend found his pedigree counted for nothing on Thursday night when he was dumped out of American Idol. Despite Simon Cowell lavishing Robbie Carrico’s initial stab at Lynyrd Skynyrd's Simple Man as "quite good", the hopeful was one of four contestants cut from the hit show. Carrico - previously a member of Boyz N Girlz United - dated Britters in 1999, stepping out with her at the premiere of a movie. How times have changed. .

Its a little after 5:30 p.m. here in Bradenton, and I'm guessing we're going to get kicked out of the press box here any time soon (note to aspiring baseball writers - don't mess with the snowbirds who serve as ushers at these spring training venues. They may look kind and grandfatherly, but they'll mess your world up in a second if you cross them). But before that happens, here's a quick update of what happened today: 1) Shane Victorino hit a triple to right field that he probably could have stretched into an inside-the-park home run if he hadn't been held up at third. The Flyin' Hawaiian looked like he wanted to go home, but a meaningless spring training game is not the place to separate ones shoulder in pursuit of a roundtripper. Vic finished 2-for-3 on the day.
Hip-Hop Rumors: Jay-Z As Frank Lucas? Rockers Got Jokes? Can't Ban The ...
Well, actually Jay admitted that the studio didn't think he could hold down the whole sound track. I don't know for certain, but I do know that Jay really talked a lot about being able to relate to Frank's laid-back demeanor. In fact, I always felt Jay could make a great actor since I saw the video for “Streets Is Watching."
Check it out and tell me what you think.
LUPSTERGATE
People think I hate Lupie. Not true. I definitely think he disrespected A Tribe Called Quest in a number of ways. And an eye witness said he saw the Lupe man choke a girl. I didn't even make such a claim! I wrote a rumor (somebody told me about it) and later got a separate letter that said what it said.
