Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora may face child endangerment
charges stemming from his arrest in Southern California for
alleged drunken driving, police said.
Sambora had his 10-year-old daughter Ava, a second juvenile
and a woman in his Hummer when he was arrested Tuesday night
for allegedly driving under the influence, Laguna Beach,
Calif., police sources told TMZ.com.
Sambora has not been charged with endangerment. However,
the Laguna Beach Police Department is "actively
investigating" in the incident.
The rock star reportedly was pulled over shortly before
11 p.m. after he was seen driving erratically. Sambora
failed several field sobriety tests and was detained for
DUI, police said.
He also is said to have chosen to take a blood test rather
than a Breathalyzer test.
Laguna Beach Police Department Sgt. Jason Kravetz told
TMZ.com, "At this point, there's no indication of drugs."
Sambora, who went to rehab twice last year, was released
from police custody early Wednesday morning, the report
said.
Ava's mother is actress Heather Locklear.
What do you feel should happen to Richie Sambora for
driving drunk and having his daughter in the car?

Man pleads guilty to radio station scam
A man pleaded guilty in a Pittsburgh court to posing as a
radio station employee to scam pedestrians out of their
money. Alan Carter McDonald pleaded guilty to theft by
deception after he admitted to scamming 14 people out of
amounts ranging from $20 to $170 between June 2006 and
September 2007, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported
Wednesday. Authorities said McDonald approached his
victims on the street and told them he was giving away
prizes on behalf of WXDX-FM, 105.9 "the X," and all they
had to do was pay shipping costs. "He's actually pretty
smart and he's personable. He'd walk up to these strangers
and ask them for money," said Assistant Public Defender
Sumner Parker, who served as McDonald's attorney. He was
sentenced to consecutive two-year probation terms for each
of the theft counts and ordered to pay $1,775 restitution.
He was also ordered to undergo drug screening after he also
pleaded guilty to possessing a small amount of heroin.

Court papers: Plaintiff born male
A New York billionaire accused in a lawsuit of taking
advantage of an underage model claims the girl was not born
female and was 18 when they talked. Lawyers for Jeffrey
Epstein said in papers filed in the New York Supreme Court
that Ava Cordero, who claims in her suit that Epstein
pressured her into a sexual relationship when she was
underage, was born Maximillian Cordero in 1983, making her
18-years-old at the time of phone calls that she claims
support her case, the New York Post reported Wednesday.
Cordero's suit "is entirely untenable because the factual
predicate for the actions -- that Cordero was under 17 at
the time of the alleged events -- cannot be true," the court
papers said. "Cordero was already 18 at the time of the
phone calls." Sources close to Cordero confirmed that she
was born male, but has lived as a woman and taken hormone
treatments since her early teens, the Post said.

always prepared. Containing twelve (12) candles, in both tapers
and votives, the holder is both stylish and functional. Can be
used as a decorative item on a coffee table, in your dining

But what is probably the BEST feature is the price... at just

great and thoughtful gift.

'Deal' error gives vicar second chance
A vicar appearing on the British version of "Deal or No
Deal" received a miraculous second chance at the jackpot
after a box was mistakenly left empty. The box, which was
supposed to contain 250,000 pounds -- about $500,000 -- was
found to be empty after it was chosen by contestant David
Schofield, a vicar at St Luke's Church in Dukinfield,
England, The Daily Mail reported Wednesday. The show said
the error, the first in game history, occurred when the
independent adjudicator accidentally neglected to put the
money into the box. Schofield, who said his "guardian
angel" must have been watching out for him, was given a
second chance at the jackpot after the boxes were
reshuffled. Show producers were mum about how the game
turned out for the vicar, whose episode is scheduled to
air Wednesday. However, Schofield offered a hint at the
outcome: "I did do very, very nicely. I didn't have any sum
in mind when I went on the show," he said.

Do you think Senator Clinton is the most transparent figure
in the public eye?
"That is a joke right!"
"A lot about her is already known yes, but most
transparent figure...ah no!"
"I can see through her."
