Paris Hilton's Boyfriend Faces Criminal Charges


Finally we got something on Paris Hilton but it's not that hot. Her boyfriend, Cy Waits, faces criminal charges for driving under the influence of marijuana.

According to Boston.com, Waits was charged with being under the influence of marijuana as well as charges of possession of marijuana and driving under the influence. Now if he’s convicted, then Cy would be behind bars for at least 4 years.

This incident happened on August 27, 2010. The police officer was suspicious. He could smell a vapor trail of marijuana coming from the SUV which was being driven by her boyfriend. A vehicle search turned up the remains of a moist marijuana cigarette. The officer found 0.8 grams of cocaine; in fact it fell out of Paris Hilton’s purse as she reached for her lip balm after the traffic stop. But Paris Hilton very innocently told the police that she thought it was gum rather than cocaine & it was her friend’s purse. I never thought she could use her brain cells. And I can’t say it about everyone, but crème de la crème won’t forgive me if I don’t mention that it was a Chanel purse.

Anyway, both of them were arrested, but Hilton is just being banned from 2 Wynn resorts & she’s also serving a year of probation. But Cy has committed a serious crime. Although drug possession is often a misdemeanor, it is a felony in Nevada to use or be under the influence of any illegal drug. Moreover, he failed sobriety tests at the time as well as the toxicology report.

However, the attorney of Waits is denying the charges.

"We are looking forward to vigorously defending the matter," Chesnoff (his attorney)said. "At this point it is just an allegation."

Now we just have to wait & find out whether Cy gets away with it or not.

Yeah, this is the same inseparable couple. They can’t think of spending a minute without each other. Maybe it’s all the more fun when they have cocaine, marijuana & other such stuff with them.

Wait's arraignment is scheduled for Feb. 17 in Las Vegas Justice Court.

Just William star targeted by stalker on Facebook



Child actor Daniel Roche, who played Just William in the recent BBC1 series, has been targeted by an internet stalker who set up a fake Facebook page in his name. But when Daniel’s mother asked Facebook to take the page down they failed to act – until The Mail on Sunday stepped in.

Well this has been the usual story of FB. They do nothing till the media steps in.

A fake page was also created in the name of 8 year old Isabella who played Violet Elizabth Bott in Just William. Daniel’s mom discovered about her son’s fake page when Isabella’s mother told her. Although Isabella’s parents somehow managed to persuade FB to delete that page, but when Daniel’s parents contacted FB, nothing was done.

Scotland Yard also failed to act after Mrs Roche complained to a police station in North London. But Scotland Yard said it had ‘no knowledge’ of a complaint having been made by Mrs Roche. Very weird!

Last year, the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre attacked Facebook for refusing to install a panic button which would allow users to report inappropriate behaviour on the site directly to CEOP.

A Facebook spokeswoman said:

‘It’s against Facebook’s rules to use a fake name or operate under a false identity and we provide our users with the tools to report anyone they think is doing this via report links on every page of our site.

These tools enable people to flag exactly why they are reporting someone, for example an inappropriate picture or a fake profile, and we urge all our users to make sure they are aware of how to use these reporting tools correctly.’

I don’t think any action is ever taken on FB. It’s only when the media gets in the picture, they delete pages or fake ids. They may have provided options, but it’s all useless. In fact a time comes when a person is so used to these fake ids that he/she stops complaining about them. Moreover, stalkers also confuse themselves as admirers, which is of course very amusing, as long as it’s not happening to you. It sounds like a broken record but FB never takes any action. Instead of wasting time on fake ids, it’s better to ignore them.

Social networking is so much fun. You get to meet people from all over the world. But it's not just FB, even other sites face the same problem. There are always people who want to abuse & invade the privacy of others. It doesn't matter what is their problem.

Mysterious Death


Yesterday I heard this story about a boy who is believed to have died after falling from a plane on the rooftop of a house in Al-Faisal Town. He was 19 year old but he hasn’t been identified as yet. Police said that they sent his fingerprints to NADRA for verification, but the officials of NADRA are denying that they got any specimen. Moreover, doctors haven’t conducted autopsy as yet.

Police haven’t registered an FIR. They suspect the boy was a contractual employee at the airport who tried to flee to Dubai by hiding in the wheels of a plane. The boy is said to have fallen from a height of about 700 to 100 feet.This sounds quite depressing. Someone must have been too desperate to get out of this country. Poverty can make one take such dangerous steps.

His body was found on the rooftop of Haji Afzal’s house. First he heard the rumble of a plane, which was followed by a loud thud on the rooftop. It’s a nightmare to discover a dead body on your rooftop. The police is investigating the authenticity of Afzal’s claim. But I don’t think anyone will invent this kind of story.

The skull of the boy was broken; both his arms & legs had fractured. He hands were blackened with grease & oil. 3 flights had taken off from the airport when this body was found. Although he was wearing the uniform of a cargo boy, but none of the crew members of the 3 flights is reported missing.

This is indeed a very mysterious death. Why would anyone do this to himself? Stowing away in a plane is nothing short of madness. But naturally the circumstances of the boy must have forced him. It also points out that people don’t have anyone to talk to or maybe when they talk, people tell them they have no sense. I find this story very saddening. He was only 19 year old, but he didn’t have any guidance whatsoever. He must have felt so frustrated that he was willing to take this kind of risk. What a painful death it must have been!

May his soul rest in peace!

Jo Yeates' Facebook friends are asked for DNA samples as calls for mass screening grow



Detectives hunting the killer of Joanna Yeates are taking DNA samples from her Facebook friends.

They are swabbing dozens of people across Britain as calls for mass screening in her home city grow.

Those targeted include men who live more than 100 miles from the murder scene.

Officers are convinced that Miss Yeates, who was missing for eight days before her body was found a short drive from her home on Christmas Day, was killed by someone she knew.

The landscape architect had up to 200 friends on the website. Police are also asking for background information about her life and her relationship with her boyfriend Greg Reardon.

Police are also studying phone records after it emerged from one of Jo's friends that she sent her last text at 8.20pm.

Jo invited Matthew Wood out for a drink in the message but because he was at a Christmas party he didn't reply until 9.20pm. He told The Sun of his subsequent anguish at the fact that Jo didn't reply, but police hope the new information will help them determine what time she was strangled.

Police forces in other parts of the country are assisting with taking the DNA samples and conducting interviews.

One of Miss Yeates’s friends, who lives more than 100 miles from Bristol and had not seen the 25-year-old for several weeks, had a swab taken from the inside of his cheek last week.

As for her relationship with Greg, it was solid, they were happy and a great couple.

It is now 24 days since Miss Yeates was last seen alive.

Avon and Somerset Police insist they are ‘happy’ with the progress of the investigation.

But a source said: ‘A meeting has been called at the highest level to address major concerns.

‘There is a growing feeling that the inquiry team has too many young detectives on it. The longer the investigation goes on, the bigger the need for some old hands and detectives with 25 or so years of experience.’

Miss Yeates was last seen alive on December 17, when she was out for a drink with friends.

Her landlord Christopher Jefferies, 65, was arrested on suspicion of her murder and released on police bail. He denies any involvement.
