According to MTV news Police have arrested a 23-year-old New Jersey man in connection with Saturday morning’s hit-and-run death of two-time “American Idol” contestant Alexis Cohen. The Asbury Park Journal reports that Daniel Bark was arrested at 6 p.m. on Sunday and charged with causing Cohen’s death by reckless driving and then leaving the scene of a collision. If convicted in Cohen’s death, Bark could serve 10 to 15 years in jail. He is currently being held in the Ocean County Jail in Toms River on $35,000 bail.

Its great that they found who did this but it doesnt bring back our quirky creepo Alexis. Hopefully she’s in a better place annoying blessing others with her voice.

The best part of American idol, besides anytime that Paula speaks because you know you’re gonna get something drugged up and incoherent, the audition process has lost one of it’s greats. Alexis Cohen, 25-year-old former two-time “American Idol” contestant has been struck and killed by a car in a New Jersey shore town.

Deputy Chief Michael Mohel of the Ocean County Prosecutors Office says an autopsy indicated she suffered chest, head and abdominal injuries, which led them to believe that she was struck by a vehicle. Mohel says investigators are seeking more information about the collision. Cohen auditioned in Philadelphia for the popular Fox singing competition in August 2007, and the episode was aired in January 2008. She tried out again during the show’s eighth season.

This is pretty sad. My favorite part of American Idol is when you get the crazies in the beginning that know they’re stars. Alexis was a bit different though, yes she knew she was very talented, but she was an old cat lady in the making and it’s sad to see her go. I’ve included one of her audition segments from Idol, and yes during the video Simon Cowell says she looks like William Defoe , yes it was funny and slightly true,so enjoy because she would’ve wanted us to laugh…..tokes go out to her family and her pets…

In a month where we lost Infommercial icon Billy Mays, the commercial industry mourns another loss today, the Taco Bell chihuahua Gidget had to be euthanized yesterday after suffering a massive stroke late Tuesday in her trainers home in Santa Clarita, she was 15 years old. Gidget appeared as the mascot in the Taco Bell commercials from 1997-2000 and was the only dog used to film the quote “Yo quiero Taco Bell”. Gidget also was featured in “Legally Blonde 2″ A few tokes in memory of Gidget. I think I’ll go get a crunchy taco today and yell something crazy at the drive-thru person then when they ask me what i’ve said, i’ll tell them that it was Gidget the taco bell dog using me as a conduit and he wants you to slip a carmel apple empanada in the bag for him…but i’m not so sure it will work…

According to the Dallas Morning news, Police are investigating a multiple shooting reported on the Texas Southern University campus. Currently there is now word on the identities or the conditions of thoss who have been shot. The shooting took place at an event Wednesday night hosted by city council member Peter Brown, who is running for mayor.

KTRK-TV in Houston reports Houston police say four people in all were shot at three different locations within a block, one on campus and two off campus.It’s so bizzaro world to me that things ike this are still happening in the world at a time when what we really all we really need is togetherness, we joke around and talk a lot of shit about people, but it’s all in good fun, …the national ecoonomy is in the shitter, swine flu is rapidly spreading and people still wanna run around shooting innocent people….this is America, I love this country but some of our people need a fuckin wake up call…Our respects go out to the families of the deceased its pretty unfortunate that they had to loose their loved ones in such a tragic way, we can only hope that authorities can find who ever is responsible very soon

Well the shit has certainly hit the fan…In what is beginning to feel like a movie being drawn out before the world there’s new news related to the King of Pop’s death. Early this morning DEA agents were in Houston, TX  to serve Murray with a search warrant for his medical office in the city. Among the items that were seized were a digital image of the doctor’s hard drive and 21 files from the computer itself.

“We reviewed the warrant and remained on the premises while the search was being executed,” says Murray’s lawyer Ed Chernoff in a statement. “The search warrant authorized law enforcement to search for and seize items, including documents, they believed constituted evidence of the offense of manslaughter.”

This is soooo bananas. I want to believe that MJ just died from taking a medication that he shouldn’t have, since we know that diprovan was found in his home and that he was the person who made the choices to put certain things in his body. To think that his death could be manslaughter that is voluntary is something that I just don’t want to think about now. Dr. Murray is one shady fuckin character and we don’t like him or Rupert Everett for talking crazy about MJ  just for publicity. Yes Rupert, a few more people will know your name now, but they still wont pay 10 bucks to see any of the shitty films that you’re in.

p.s……Rupert, nice work that you had done on your face…..NOT

Chris “beat her down” Brown has finally made a last attempt to save his career set the record straight about how sorry he really is about the incident that occurred in February when he assaulted Rhianna. Last month, Brown plead guilty to felony assault in a plea bargain with prosecutors, sparring him jail time. As part of the deal, he was sentenced to five years probation and six months of community labor to be served in Virginia. He will also complete a year of domestic violence classes, and pay fines.

In the video Chris which seriously doesn’t seem very genuine Chris notes that he cannot go into detail as to what specifically happened and that he is not making the video as a forum to spit out excuses. Possibly if he showed some compassion and a bit of regret from the beginning of the whirlwind that surrounded both he and Rhianna directly following the incident, maybe people wouldn’t have branded him a monster. Then there is the video that he made previous to this one which also addresses the incident, but in a slightly different light: in the first video that brown made, he makes sure that people know, “I’m not a monster, i love my fans, you know the truth.” Hmmmm those statements don’t sound like they are coming from someone who had just been arrested for felony assault? Well the most recent “apology” video is posted above so draw your own conclusions, but we’ve made up our minds…..Chris who???

Sad news today……..a stage being built for Madonna’s “Sticky and Sweet” tour in the port city Marseille in France collapsed today leaving one dead and six more people injured according to the fire department. 2 of the injuries were serious and all the people injured were brought to near area hospitals. The stage at the Stade Velodrome stadium broke apart and fell on several workers. The identities of the dead and injured workers were not released yet as they are still trying to contact their families. The cause of the collapse isn’t certain but the area was cordoned off after the accident. The concert was set for Sunday but has been canceled after the stage collapse. This blunt goes out to the workers injured, the worker who died, and their families.

Madonna, who’s highly upset with what happened, issued a statement saying, “I am devastated to have just received this tragic news, my prayers go out to those who were injured and their families, along with my deepest sympathy to all those affected by this heartbreaking news.”
