94 Year Old Arizona Man Arrested For Sexual Indecency With A Vacuum Cleaner

Here comes something just completely weird for everyone:

A 94-year-old Payson man has been arrested, after being accused of molesting several young children and a bizarre case of public sexual indecency you won’t believe.

94-year-old Dale Warren Graham was arrested last Thursday after a 3-week investigation that started with a public sexual indecency report.

Police say Graham was found in someone else’s garage with a running vacuum cleaner attached to the front of his pants.

As the investigation unfolded, detectives determined that Graham had contact with young children and had inappropriately touched two of them.

Police are asking that more victims come forward. The potential victims’ ages range from 8 to 17 years.

Graham was arrested for public sexual indecency, aggravated assault, and child molestation.

Payson is northeast of Phoenix. Graham has lived there since 2004.  [My FOX Phoenix]

The most obvious question to me is why does he have to go to someone else’s house to use a vacuum cleaner?  Wouldn’t it just be easier to use your own?  Than again this guy is a pervert so maybe he gets some thrill out of using other people’s vacuum cleaners?

Goood Samaritan Brings Missing Albuquerque Cat Back From Chicago

Here is a nice story coming out of New Mexico:

No one knows how a tabby cat named Charles traveled the 1,300 miles from his New Mexico home to Chicago, but he’s set for a complimentary flight home on American Airlines in a carrier donated by an Albuquerque business.Charles disappeared about eight months ago while his owner was out of town and a friend was caring for him.

“Oh, I was crushed, and I found out while I was away volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, and I was so upset because I was in New Orleans so there was nothing I could do,” said Robin Alex, of Albuquerque.

Then earlier this week, Alex received a call telling her Chicago Animal Care and Control had picked up her wandering cat as a stray. Staffers reached out to Alex after finding that Charles had a tracking microchip embedded between his shoulder blades, said the agency’s executive director, Cherie Travis.

But Alex said she could not afford the round-trip ticket to Chicago to bring Charles home, so she was afraid he might be euthanized.

Enter fellow Albuquerque resident Lucien Sims. Sims said he has a tabby cat who strongly resembles Charles, and was moved when his mother sent him an online story about Alex and her pet.  [Associated Press]

Corey Worthington May Lose Acting Gig Due to Criminal Complaint

Here is a guy I haven’t heard much about lately who rocketed to fame in Australia as a “party pest” and now is trying to make a US debut:

PARTY pest Corey Worthington has allegedly failed to curb his wild ways, charged with smashing a former friend’s car.

Chris Oscuro, 19, alleges Worthington spat on his car and attacked it with a bed post outside his Cranbourne West house in March.

The mechanic told the Herald Sun he believed Worthington was now worried the criminal damages charge would jeopardise his dreams of Hollywood stardom.

Worthington has reportedly won a role in a US film, Life in the Fastlane, due to start filming later this year.

Worthington appeared at Frankston Magistrates’ Court yesterday sporting a black hairdo instead of his trademark bleached blond mop, to have the case adjourned.

Frankston detectives were waiting for him at the court and questioned him over another matter for several hours as part of a continuing investigation. No charges have been laid in relation to that investigation.

Mr Oscuro said he and Worthington fell out over a girl last year after becoming friends before his infamous 2008 party, which grabbed international headlines.  [Herald-Sun]

Worthington has been out of work ever since his 15 minutes of fame ended and now it appears he has actually found work and may lose it due to his stupidity.

It Is Now A Fact, Women Drive Better Than Men

If anyone doubts this claim well than read this article and judge for yourself:

FINALLY the age-old myth has been busted: women are better drivers than men. There’s no argument. And the gap between the two is widening. The latest crash statistics from the RTA show men are four times more likely to be behind the wheel in a fatal accident than women.

In 2009 there were 469 men controlling vehicles involved in fatal crashes, which was up 2.3 per cent on the previous three-year average.

Women, on the other hand, are improving, with 118 of the opposite sex behind the wheel of a vehicle involved in a fatal accident last year – a decline of almost two per cent from 2006-08.

Across all crashes the news is even worse for men. Of all the prangs in 2008 – a staggering 73,669 in NSW – men were driving in 45,329 of the accidents.

At the latest count by the RTA, there were about the same number of licences held by both sexes, with 2.8 million male drivers and 2.3 million women.

“It is about being careful. Women are better drivers because they are more cautious,” said high performance driving instructor Amy Boatwright.  [The Daily Telegraph]

Jay Leno to Exit Primetime TV Slot On NBC

This news sucks because I liked watching Jay Leno at 9PM because the 10:35 slot is just too late for me to stay up and watch since I have to go to work so early in the morning:

NBC host Jay Leno is going back to late nights after a low-rated experiment in prime time, the network announced Sunday.

Leno’s prime-time talk show, which debuted in September, “didn’t meet affiliates’ needs,” said Jeff Gaspin, chairman of NBC Universal Television Entertainment.

The program will go off the air February 12, when the 2010 Winter Olympics begin.

The network is now negotiating with Leno and its current late-night hosts, Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Fallon, to decide who ends up with which time slot, Gaspin said.

The goal is to keep all three hosts, but nothing was a done deal as of Sunday, he said.

O’Brien took over NBC’s flagship “Tonight Show” when Leno moved to the 10 p.m. slot in September. Fallon took over O’Brien’s former show, “Late Night.” Gaspin said the new plan is for Leno to take over a shortened “Tonight Show,” with O’Brien moving back to “Late Night” at midnight and Fallon hosting a new show at 1 a.m.  [CNN]

Pretty much football, The Biggest Loser, and Leno was the only things I watched on NBC.  With football almost over and Leno moving to a new time slot it looks like The Biggest Loser is the only NBC show I will be watching.

Did the Right Person Win Survivor Samoa?

Did anyone see Survivor Samoa?  The winner was the 26 year old Natalie White who is obviously quite a nice person, which paid off in the finals because without a doubt her co-finalist Russell was the better player, but made too many enemies to win a vote against Natalie.

What is interesting though is that Russell won the fan favorite voting and the $100,000 prize that comes with that and on the USA Today site he is winning the voting there as well as the most deserving winner of Survivor.  Personally I think we haven’t seen the last of Russell because the next Survivor beginning in February is a Heroes Vs. Villians show composed of past Survivor participants.  I think for sure that Russell will be asked to participate on the villians team.  Hopefully he agrees because he was pretty funny to watch this year.

Mile High Flight Attendant Lisa Cherie Robertson Pleads Guilty to Hiding Money

Here is yet another update in the continuing pathetic story that is the Mile High Flight Attendant:

A FORMER airline flight attendant who infamously had “mile-high” sex with actor Ralph Fiennes in a Qantas toilet hid a $201,000 windfall she made for selling her kiss-and-tell story to a British tabloid and 60 Minutes.

Sacked stewardess, ex-undercover policewoman, onetime call-girl and undischarged bankrupt, Lisa Cherie Robertson, wiped away tears after pleading guilty yesterday to concealing the funds from trustees who were chasing her over debts of $460,000.

Blonde, statuesque and trembling, Robertson faced Melbourne Magistrates’ Court where her “15 minutes of fame” was retold and the court heard she existed now as a “hermit trying to live down her past”.

Robertson, 41, also pleaded guilty to attempting to leave Australia for a Thai holiday despite a ban on international travel as a bankrupt. She had suffered from depression since disarming another policeman who shot and killed a fellow officer in NSW, defence lawyer Sue Macgregor told the court.

After leaving the force, she sued NSW police but lost the case and was ordered to pay the Crown’s $300,000 legal costs, sending her bankrupt, the court heard.

But after getting paid for her Fiennes sex story in 2007, Robertson put the funds into an international account. Ms Macgregor said she was later conned of the money.

Magistrate Phillip Goldberg, noting Robertson had been warned at the time she sold her story that money from the media deal was to be handed over to the trustee, ordered she be assessed for a community-based order and return to court next Tuesday.  [The Daily Telegraph]

Tiger Woods Alleged Affair with Hostess Rachel Uchitel In Australia Led to Accident

The media must just be salivating over this story, this is probably at least one whole week of headlines for them:

TIGER Woods crashed his car after fighting with his wife over reports he’s been having an affair with a hostess he recently met up with in Australia, it’s been claimed.

TMZ are reporting the world’s No.1 golfer and his model wife clashed over internet dispatches claiming Woods and sexy Manhattan hostess Rachel Uchitel recently hooked up in Melbourne where he was playing the Australian Masters.

It was first reported that Woods’s wife Elin Nordegren used a golf club to smash out the back window and help get him out of his SUV after he mysteriously crashed it overnight into a neighbour’s fire hydrant.

But the story has taken a new twist with TMZ reporting the couple had a heated argument where, according to a source, she scratched his face up.

The site said Woods beat a hasty retreat but his wife followed behind with a golf club. As Tiger drove away from their luxury Florida home, she struck the vehicle several times with the club.

Distracted, Woods then hit the fire hydrant and then hit a tree.  [The Daily Telegraph]

Here is the link to the TMZ posting in question.

Apparently this woman Rachel Uchitel has told people they are having an affair and are in love. Here is a pictures of Ms. Uchitel:

Yeah she is pretty hot but she isn’t hotter than Woods’ wife.

Anyway here is a profile Uchitel from SF Gate:

BlackBook.com has an extensive description of this smoking hot “prime mover”, written in 2008 BT (Before Tiger). 34-year-old Rachel Uchitel is described as a ‘Hamptons diva’ who is the Director of VIP Services at Pink Elephant in Southampton, NY. Pink Elephant is an expensive, exclusive club known for its Hollywood patrons, celeb sitings, and lounge couches. She says the Four Seasons in Chiang Mai Thailand is her favorite place in the World and is regularly seen at what I call “business social events” like club openings and fundraiders.

Uchitel’s a nightclub executive and use to the World of celebs, high rollers, expensive cars and long nights. At the time of the Blackbook.com  profile her two favorite men were Ozzy Osbourne and Rudy Giuliani – her dogs, a affenpinscher and a brussels griffin.

In her Blackbook.com profile Rachel claims she doesn’t “kiss and tell” about the men she’s been linked with and doesn’t like her name being “dragged in the mud”. But Hollywood Gossip has her in an affair with first David Boreanaz (star of the TV show Bones), then Tiger Woods, both men rich and married with children.

But in the case of Woods, Hollywood Gossip claims she openly admitted to an affair with him, something she didn’t do in the case of David Boreanaz.  [San Francisco Gate]

As the profile shows Rachel Uchitel has alleged affairs with celebrities before, but has never admitted to one until now.  The only “proof” of an affair is that someone in the media saw her enter the same hotel in Melbourne that Tiger was staying at while he was playing in the Australian Masters.  She then exited a few hours later.  I don’t think this proves an affair because this woman could just be a publicity hound who entered the hotel, had lunch, hung out, and then exited again after tipping off the media.  We live in the age of balloon boy and White House party crashers all hoping to get reality TV deals.  How can we be sure this woman isn’t trying the same thing?

Britney Spears Criticized for Lip Synching Down Under

You know I can’t feel bad for people losing their money for a supar performance from Britney Spears when they were dumb enough in the first place to buy these tickets fully knowing this woman’s track record:

BRITNEY Spears was holed up in a Perth hotel yesterday as the row over her lip-synching concerts threatened to derail her Australian tour, The Sunday Telegraph reports.

Fans walked out after only three songs at Perth’s Burswood Dome on Friday, upset by her lacklustre performance.

Many claimed her show was not worth the $200 they had paid.

The lip-synch controversy has dogged Spears since she arrived in Australia and made headlines around the world, including on US TV’s CNN.

Adding to Spears’ woes, media companies, including News Limited, refused to photograph the concert after being asked to sign restrictive agreements by her management. None were imposed on video journalists.

Spears mimed most of her songs on stage, singing only on ballads.

Among fans who walked out early was Amanda Hawlet, 22, who drove from home two hours away and spent almost $500 on a weekend to see Britney.

She left only half an hour into the action, angry at the miming.

“I want my money back or I want her to sing properly,” she said. “The ticket cost me $200 and she lip-synched the whole thing.

“It’s cost me half a week’s wage and you’ve got bills to pay, but you look forward to this concert, it’s a night out - and what do you get? Nothing. It was a waste of $200 - I could have got four pairs of shoes for that.”  [The Sunday Telegraph]

I guess she should have bought the shoes.

For their part Spears’ concert promoter is saying this all nothing but lies!

Australian Super Model Miranda Kerr is the 9th Highest Paid Model in the World

I have never realized how much money super models make:

The first Aussie to join the Victoria’s Secret cast, Miranda Kerr earns $3M per year with big contracts like XOXO clothing. And earlier this year, she lent her legendary dimples to help those affected by the Australian bush fires as a participant in the Australia Unites fundraiser. Miranda’s style is decidedly the girliest on the list. Her pink ruffle dress and Vuitton handbag are just one example.  [Yahoo Shine]

Click the link to see the full Top 10 list, but Miranda Kerr makes chump change when compared to the highest paid model on the list. Still $3 million a year is good money if you can make it.  So good on her.

By the way readers may remember that Miranda is a big advocate of protecting wild koalas which is something I respect about Miranda Kerr.
