smoking blunts and twerking on stage with her dancers. Guests
included Wayne Cone and Victoria's Secret model Stella

The Real Housewives of Atlanta apparently doesn’t need NeNe
Leakes to dish out the drama. A fight reportedly broke out
during filming between co-stars PORSHA WILLIAMS and
CYNTHIA BAILEY. It started with verbal fisticuffs and quickly
escalated until Cynthia kicked Porsha in the stomach while
wearing high heels. While neither woman plans to press charges,
Cynthia could be demoted or fired from the show. This isn't
Williams' first on-air brawl as you may recall she was charged
with battery last year after getting into a fight with Kenya Moore
while taping the reunion special.
Former WWF superstar JIMMY SNUKA found himself in a
steel cage yesterday and it wasn’t for a death match. Snuka was
arrested in connection with the 1983 death of his then-girlfriend
Nancy Argentino. During the original investigation, Snuka told
investigators that she injured her head while the two were
fooling around outside of their motel room in Allentown,
Pennsylvania when he pushed her and she fell. However, in his
2012 autobiography, "Superfly: The Jimmy Snuka Story," he
wrote that Nancy slipped and fell while going to the bathroom at
a rest stop. Police reopened the case and have now determined
there’s enough evidence to prove Snuka was responsible. Snuka
is free after posting bail.

that comedian JON RUDNITSKY would become a Not Ready

what’s now being learned isn’t all the good. A check of his

IDRIS ELBA has been mentioned to take over the role of James

created a big fuss online, forcing Horowitz to clarify his
remarks. He said it was nothing racial, and he only meant that
Elba was known for his grittier roles.

Apple hasn't OK'd and unlock various settings. For those people,
the Key Raider can also lock their phones, forcing the owners to

According to a new study, daily marijuana use among college
students is at its highest rate in 35 years. In fact, last year, for the
first time ever, pot smoking surpassed cigarette smoking. The
study also found ecstasy and cocaine use are rising, but alcohol
consumption is declining. Figures show that 5.9 percent of
college students smoke marijuana at least 20 times each month,
which works out to one-in-17 students. One of the reasons pot
use is up and alcohol is down is that booze is perceived to be the
more harmful of the two.

moderate drinkers tripled their risk. They did say that their

are the biggest influence on their decision whether to drink.

on the checkout counter at a local Wal-Mart and later called to
see if they had it. Apparently Wal-Mart employee Markeisha
Lashay Burwell was unaware of the store’s surveillance cameras
as the video showed her taking the phone. Markeisha told
officers she wasn’t sure if she had the phone, but if she did, it
would be in her car. That’s where officers found the phone,
although Rosi’s photos and contacts were deleted. Markeisha
admitted to deleting the photos and contacts and hiding it in her
car with the intention of keeping it. Her bail was set at $2,000,
which is much more expensive than a typical phone.
