They were hardly 21 years of age and only had one album, but officials at the highest levels of Irish Government were actively investigatingThe Sex Pistols for pulling apart the fabric of civilization.
Yesterday the government released papers detailing an investigation into how to best deal with the "obscene" Sex Pistols. When speaking of "Never Mind The Bullocks, Here's The Sex Pistols," the state police said “The title on the sleeve… would indicate that the contents of the record is obscene.”
They contemplated serious action against the band, and every record store carrying the album. In the end though, when the Sex Pistols won an indecency battle in British courts, the Irish decided to drop the case.
The band hardly made it around much longer anyways.
As you probably already have heard, Mark Cuban was busted for insider trading his Mamma.com stock. He sold his shares in Mamma immediately after learning some jibber jabber relating to the company. Basically Mamma was diluting Cuban's and other investors stake in the company, or something like that. So Cuban did what any reasonable pirate would do and sell every last one of his shares in the company before everyone else found out about this tomfoolery. Unfortunately for Mark, the Government found out. Cuban only saved himself $750,000 by exiting asap. He's worth $2 billion so I don't think it really mattered to him that much. He sits around in sweatpants and blogs all day though. He needs shit to do, like insider trade. Anyways, so he's blogging about it now. Even though the government is getting the last laugh one more time and not letting him write that much. Hahaha. So here's what he has to say:
The SEC
"I wish I could say more, but I will have to leave it to this, and let the judicial process do its job."
“I am disappointed that the Commission chose to bring this case based upon its Enforcement staff’s win-at-any-cost ambitions. The staff’s process was result-oriented, facts be damned. The government’s claims are false and they will be proven to be so.”
Heather Locklear will probably get off pretty easy after getting arrested for driving under the influence this weekend. Heather luckily didn't have any booze in her. Fistfulls of prescription drugs are thought to be the reason she was "driving erractically in a parking lot," according to TMZ.
She did make it out of the parking lot, but pulled over before police actually saw her driving. Smart! They arrested her anyways. If you want to see some pictures of her getting frisked by the cops, I think laughed at a little, and the cuffs thrown on her then click ----> here.
Skwerl is the guy who posted those Guns n Roses songs online and was arrested by the FBI for it. Then Slash said he "hopes he rots in jail." Now Skwerl is out of jail on bail and asking for help in this pretty serious criminal case. Well not really help. More like money. He's pretty much fucked. Here's what he said on his blog:
"Hi everyone. As you are all undoubtedly aware, I was arrested at gunpoint last Wednesday by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and I am now facing a federal criminal charge by the United States Government of copyright infringement..."
"As a result, many old friends, new enemies, creepy strangers and reporters have been cramping my style; Asking questions, offering to help, threatening to injure / kill me, wishing me luck, wishing that I rot in jail for the rest of my life, hiding in my bushes, et cetera."
"I am trying to take full responsibility for my predicament. I consider the burden of legal fees ultimately mine to bear; I have independently raised the funds required to retain my attorney. However, it has definitely been by far the biggest expense I have ever faced in my entire life, and my resources are very limited while formidable costs shall continue to pile up. It’s beyond daunting, being a single independent citizen facing a full-force prosecution by the most powerful government in the world."
I'm so glad I never got any illegal Guns N Roses songs.
Remember this megafan. This guy painted himself up like a tard to look like the joker and then started stealing posters and crap from the movie theater. According to The Smoking Gun the 20-year-old future 40-year-old virgin "went to the Three Rivers Cinema multiplex in costume as the Joker. According to cops, he was charged with larceny and malicious destruction of property, and had to pose for booking photos in and out of character."
Pathetic? Just a little. Mommy's going to be pissed. Oh yeah - where the f##k do you find a purple suit like that?!?
So as you all probably no already Shia LeBeouf was arrested for drunk driving this weekend after he rolled his truck in an intersection, and he didn't take off running after. Which is pretty smart but surprising. The video above is his flipped pick-up in the middle of the street. So anyways, according to TMZ it went down somewhat like this:
"Around 2:45 AM, then the sound of Shia's truck rolling over. The witness said he heard what he thought was a girl screaming "Fuck," among other things.
When he got down to scene, Shia was already out of the car and the female riding with him was crawling out of the driver's side of the truck. The truck was smoking, making noise and still running. The driver of the other car was also out of the car by this time.
Shia and the female stood over by a wall while people were checking to see if everyone was okay. The witness said unlike most of the wrecks he's seen in the dangerous intersection, no one was cursing or yelling at each other. It took the cops 4-5 minutes to arrive at the scene.
Two ambulances -- along with one fire truck -- showed up, and all parties involved walked to an ambulance unassisted. There were no breathalyzers or tests done at the scene."
Yeah I don't really know what to say about all these drunkys driving around. Just walk! It's fun anyways.
Christian Bale says his mom and sister are nuts! Well not really, but he says he's innocent of abusing them in a hotel room. And he's sure of it! Like Batman once said, "In the end, veracity and rectitude always triumph." I have no clue what that means but Batman said it, so of course it's true! Christian even turned himself into jail early to clear things up. Why? Well, he's Batman and like Batman said, "Better three hours too soon than a minute too late." Plus Batman can't be bothered with this sitting in jail stuff. Remember: "No time to tarry, lest we forget, lives are at stake."
Ok enough Batman quotes. Christian's spokesperson really says this:"Christian Bale attended a London police station today, on a voluntary basis, in order to assist with an allegation that had been made against him to the police by his mother and sister. Mr. Bale, who denies the allegation, co-operated throughout, gave his account in full of the events in question and has left the station without any charge being made against him by the police. At this time, there will be no further comment by Mr. Bale."
So far no one knows what pissed mom off. But I do know if mommy sent me to jail for something dumb she's getting no mother's day card next year. Ok maybe I could forgive. She's mom!
He might look all nice and friendly shaking hands with a kangaroo, but he'll sick the police on your ass! Roling Stone says a man who leaked nine songs from the Chinese Democracy album got surprise visit from the FBI at his job. And then they wanted to go to his house. Blogger Kevin Skwerl who publishes Antiquiet is the guy who posted the songs:
“It was kind of an ambush. When I came back from lunch they were waiting in the lobby for me. It’s a little creepy they know where I work.”
Then they went to search his house:
“I wasn’t sure if they were going to come by with a warrant and trash the place, like in the movies.”
They didn't. They just asked for the files and left. Then a guy from the record label called and made him take everything down, which he did. And that's the end.
There's no party like an I just off of rape charges party! Rikki Rockett isn't being charged with rape anymore so he's throwing a motorcycle rally and concert. It's only $11 and they're serving hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, cole slaw and beans! No rapists, and food. The best party in town!
