Kate is GONE!

April 22nd 2010 12:50


Okay, so maybe this isn't exactly "breaking news" but.... that's what the "more" is for in the topic. Lately, not much has been going on in the news locally in CA so, what better time than now to add some entertainment new?

For the past several years, I have been watching DWTS, not only to see the great dancing but also to see some of the worst there is! From Jerry Springer to Kim Kardashian to now... Kate Gosselin??? I'm sorry but... why is she even on the show? Aren't the non-professional partners supposed to be celebrities?

Apparently, according to some, Kate is a celebrity. What she is NOT is a good dancer. Finally, yesterday, after 5 weeks of torture having to watch her try to dance, the public realized it and finally voted her off. What a relief because, her stiffness, lack of emotion, sarcastic attitude and, not to mention, the rude way she interacted with her partner during rehearsals was more than I could bare! It was so bad at one point that her partner, Tony Dolovani, temporarily quit the show... I guess now we all know that John may not be at all to blame after all for the dissolution of their marriage!

I don't know about the rest of the viewers but, in the many seasons the show has been on the air, I've yet to see someone that seems so angry and mean. The show is supposed to be uplifting and maybe now that Kate is finally gone it will be!

The arrest comes after numerous sexual attacks were reported by women on and around the UCLA campus in the past month. UCLA police said they believe they have caught the man that is responsible for more than seven attacks on women in the area in recent weeks.

Campus police stated that Calixto Marcellana Nitro was arrested just after 6:00 p.m. Monday evening as a result of a sting operation along Westwood Boulevard.Nitro was allegedly caught trying to grope a woman's groin area and immediately arrested.

He was booked and released on suspicion of misdemeanor sexual battery.

UCLA police said they believe Nitro is responsible for seven previous attacks between March 8 and last Wednesday. Nitro's method of attack was to prey on women that were walking while talking on their cell phones and appeared to be somewhat distracted. He would wait until they approach and then grope them. The attacks occurred in the late afternoon and early evening.

Monica Beresford-Redman, the wife of prominent Hollywood producer Bruce Beresford-Redman, was found Thursday in Cancun, Mexico at the Moon Palace resort where she was on vacation with her family.

I've been following this story recently since I have a planned vacation to Mexico coming up and, I'm happy to hear this was not a random act of violence or a sign that it's unsafe to travel to Cancun

A 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit baja California Sunday afternoon at approximately 3:40pm. It his about 100 miles east of San Diego. I felt it in Los Angeles and it seemed to have gone on forever. It was a rolling motion and defnitely made everything in my house shake, along with the water in my pool outside! Mexico reported minor damage such as broken windows, pipes and temporarily loss of power. Other than that, the earthquake was not as devastating as it could have been. Fire responded to rescue guests stuck in a hotel elevator and so far only minor injuries were reported.

Three aftershocks were reported within an hour of it happening ranging between 4.3 and 5.1 in magnitude. It's reported that it was felt as far up north as Santa Barbara and as far east as Arizona
