But his plan hit a snag when he told British authorities he intended to work there. They said no thanks and sent him back to the United States in January, police said. That’s when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials at the airport in Newark, N.J., ran his name through a database and discovered he had been arrested in a murder in Chicago. It turned out that last year, Chicago Police detectives had questioned and released the man, Maurice Hudson, in...

Reality TV star Tila Tequila suffered facial cuts when she was pelted with rocks and bottles while performing at a music festival in Illinois early Saturday, according to a witness and a law enforcement official. "She's pretty cut up," said a performer who saw the violence at the "Gathering of the Juggalos" in rural Hardin County, Illinois. The witness asked not to be identified so that he does not anger the juggalos.

Although he swears he’s left the limelight behind to become a good father and husband, Levi Johnston looks like he’s still seeking his fifteen minutes by hanging out outside of a Hollywood hotspot! Uh-oh, Levi Johnston — are you being a bad boy? Sure looks like it! We certainly did a double take when we spotted Bristol Palin’s 20-year-old baby daddy strolling in front of West Hollywood hot spot Trousdale July 27 – especially because he isn’t legally allowed to ENTER clubs yet! Although he’s sworn up and down that what he wants most is to be a good husband...

At first glance Carline Felts didn't think anything about a flyer that was left on her door, but after a closer look she says she's offended. "That's not acceptable!" she said sternly. "I haven't seen White Trash around here." The "White Trash Party" was to be hosted by the Zen Restaurant and Bar in the Austin Ranch apartment community in The Colony, just off of the North Dallas Tollway. On one side of the flyer there's a scantily clad woman and a picture of Britney Spears on the bottom. The other side of the flyer has a shot of a...

LOUISVILLE (WHAS11) – A volunteer Census worker who made his rounds earlier this week is now accused of returning to a physically handicapped woman's home this weekend and beating her and raping her. WHAS11's Adrianna Hopkins was in Pekin, Indiana on Sunday where the crime happened, and spoke to the neighbors and friends of both the victim, and the accused. "I had no reason to be afraid or anything of him,” said Debbie Bishop. “He was just a nice ordinary person." That's what Bishop thought last Tuesday when she met Daniel Miller. The self-employed tile-layer and volunteer Census worker drove...

In an all-new interview with ET special correspondent Diane Dimond -- Levi Johnston, the father of Sarah Palin's grandson, opens up about his efforts to see his son Tripp and how he feels the Palins don't want him to be a part of his son's life. "I don't know -- They just don't want me in his life," Levi says. He says he believes this based on things his son's mother Bristol has said to him, but believes it is the former GOP vice presidential candidate who is "feeding her something."

"The Insider" breaks news that Levi Johnston is going to file for joint custody of Tripp, his son with Bristol Palin. Levi told "The Insider" he is now going to take legal action because he had trouble when trying to see his infant son over the weekend. "At the end of the month I'm going to file for joint custody of Tripp."

Levi Johnston says he's keeping some "huge" things about Sarah Palin from the public. In Part One of a two-part exclusive interview with "Early Show" co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez, which aired Wednesday, the father of Palin's grandson says, "There are some things that I have that are huge. And I haven't said them because I'm not gonna hurt her that way. " ... I have things that can, you know -- that would get her in trouble, and could hurt her. Will hurt her. But I'm not gonna go that far. You know, I mean, if I really wanted to hurt...

The media’s been pointing to the balloon boy story as the ne plus ultra of celebrity-seeking scumbaggery, but there’s an even better example around, isn’t there? Honestly, at this point, the most rational interpretation of his behavior is that he’s trying to get people to hate him. “Sounds like you really resent her now,” she asks Levi during the interview, which was taped in advance. “Well now I’ve heard all the things she’s said. You know, the Sarah Palin I knew before, it was — it was her putting on a front, it was her being fake to me and...

I saw this commercial while watching House tonight. Makes me want to puke!

Speaking to a respected Hispanic leader in KCK, Dennis Moore reportedly called decorated and disabled Marine Veteran and Congressional Opponent "White Trash" in a recent (recorded) telephone conversation. The KCK leader, who has formally supported the incumbent congressman, is supporting Daniel Gilyeat's candidacy for the Kansas 3rd District Congressional seat. Dennis Moore called the KCK man after hearing the Hispanic community leader's support had changed. Dennis Moore said he had $7 million for the campaign and could not believe the naturalized citizen was supporting "White Trash" over Moore.

Donna M. Beegle, PhD, is spending her career explaining to audiences that there is poverty in America, that the solution to poverty is education, and that too often poverty prevents people from getting educated. A few weeks ago I heard Beegle speak at the high school where I work. While the impact of most motivational speakers lasts only a few days, this one was different. You can get an idea of her qualities as a speaker from excerpts available on YouTube, and from a trailer for "Invisible Nation," a one-hour documentary about Beegle and her family that is in the...

As a snob, I have little use for the typical NASCAR-watching, foam-hat-wearing, tract-house-dwelling American lump. I find such people to be boorish, clownish, and largely incapable of rational thought. And the upper crust of the Republican Party feels the same way that I do. They detest the average American. However, at least I’m not going around pretending to be a friend of the common man. I’m open about my better-than-thou attitude, which is one of the many reasons you will never see me running for any political office. The same can’t be said for the typical GOP “representative”. He or...
