Willie Nelson Cited for Drug Possession

BREAUX BRIDGE, La.[AP] -- Willie Nelson and several members of his band were issued misdemeanor citations for drug possession early today during a traffic stop in Saint Martin Parish.

The traffic stop was conducted on Interstate 10 near Breaux Bridge.

Trooper Willie Williams says troopers smelled a strong odor of marijuana when the driver opened the bus door.

During a search of the bus, Williams say approximately 1 1/2 pounds of marijuana and approximately 2/10 of a pound of mushrooms were located on the bus.

The 73-year-old Nelson of Spicewood, Texas; 59-year-old Tony Sizemore of Saint Cloud, Fla.; 75-year-old Bobbie Nelson of Briarcliff, Texas; 54-year-old Gates Moore of Austin, Texas; and 50-year-old David Anderson of Dallas, Texas were issued citations for possession of mushrooms and possession of marijuana and released.

"Rachael Ray Show" potentially annoying

rachelray.jpg
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Carefully tailored to service the soccer mom crowd racing between work and kids and shopping, "The Rachael Ray Show" is a syndicated daytime talk show-cum-pep rally targeting viewers who are double-parked.

It moves along in energetic rat-a-tat-tat style via a series of manic Rachael McNuggets that casts Oprah's very own handpicked youngster as a whirlwind of hyperkinetic charisma. Indeed, the opening hour depicts the former host of Food Network's wildly popular "30-Minute Meals" as a woman in need of Ritalin to slow it down, modulate her pitch and try a little less hard. Ray has an inherent likability and is certainly easy on the eyes, but she doesn't talk to us so much as screams and she might want to consider taking a more leisurely approach. As it is, it's all she can do to keep from using the adoring audience as her mosh pit.

Happy to be here after spending the past five years "talking to vegetables," Ray emerges to a cool, loftlike brick set (it spins!) and hip R&B theme music. She quickly (everything here is quick) pours herself a cup of completely unnecessary coffee that she sips while reminiscing at the set's kitchen table. Ray's occasionally squeaky voice is even more adorably anxious than usual, but the crowd clearly already views her as royalty on Day 1 -- screaming wildly with her every breathless piece of jabber. She packs a lot of show -- too much, actually -- into the kickoff that's punctuated by her cuddly asides designed to establish a connection with Jane America.

See Rachael skydive with a viewer determined to overcome her fear. See Rachael prepare a meal in just seven minutes. See Rachael talk live with a viewer over the Internet. Now see Rachael sharing the stage with first guest Diane Sawyer, who looks typically fabulous but appears somewhat flummoxed by the ball of exuberance bouncing around her. Sawyer also utters the phrase "slut shoes," which would seem to indicate that she, too, was trying too hard.

Interstitials leading in and out of the commercial breaks feature viewer questions and revelations such as the best way to toss a salad if you lack a salad spinner: Put it in the washing machine and hit "Spin." Seriously. And there's a sizable emphasis here on cooking (no surprise). For Ray's sake, the hope would be that the repasts are low caffeine. Queen Oprah herself is scheduled to arrive today to anoint her latest offspring with her presence and use that reflected glow to create another Nielsen monster a la Dr. Phil.

"The Rachael Ray Show" is clearly being positioned as the next generation of "Martha Stewart Living," the difference of course being the fresh scrubbed girl-next-door beauty of the thirtysomething host and the injection of high-intensity joie de vivre. It's likely that Ray will tone down the tempo to merely rapid as she settles into the big chair, though she probably will never have the effortless bearing that Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie O'Donnell brought to the stage. Breaking from the gate, she skirts the fine line between endearing and annoying and could tip either way.

Paris Hilton: No More Singing

00hilton.jpg
[Fox News] - Well, it was a fun idea while it lasted. But Paris Hilton’s debut album has sold a paltry 120,000 copies. It’s already pretty much off the charts, too. With new releases from Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson, and other big actual recording stars, Paris’ foray into the music business is about to become a Trivial Pursuit question.

However: the melody lingers on like bad fish. The costs on Paris are said to be ridiculously high, probably around $1 million considering travel, video, and dog food. The album itself was also costly, with production fees usually seen on albums by ahem actual recording artists.

For Warner Bros., that’s not great news as they head into the fourth quarter. The label has no CDs with its name on it anywhere on the chart except for the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ now fallen recent album. While competitors like Universal Music and Sony BMG barrel head with one top 10 release after another, Warner’s remains stricken by a failure to launch.

Sentence welcomed for girl who cried rape

[icwales.com.uk] - A voluntary organisation today welcomed the detainment of a teenager for crying rape.

Cinzia Sannino, 18, of Llanishen, Cardiff, was locked up for six months at Cardiff Crown Court after she admitted making false allegations.

In December, following a night out, the teenager had entertained four men in a Cardiff Bay flat with a private lap dance – which was filmed on a mobile phone.

But she later claimed to police that she had been raped after asking officers for a lift home.

Prosecutor Chris Lewis last week told the court how the men were kept in police custody for 36 hours – but the video of the lap dance was produced to prove the men's innocence.

Sannino withdrew the complaint and admitted to carrying out an act intended to pervert the course of justice.


The court heard she had been drinking alcohol and could not remember much about what happened.


She was sentenced to six months in a young offenders institution by Mr Justice Roderick Evans last Friday.


A spokeswoman for the voluntary False Allegations Support Organisation (FASO) today welcomed the punishment.


She said: "Up to now girls who falsely accuse have had nothing done to them.


"I would welcome this course of action because at the moment there are too many people jumping on the bandwagon as they are aware they can get compensation for false accusations.


"It's not fair on the girls who have actually been raped.


"The police often waste their time looking into cases like this when there are girls out there who have actually been raped."


She added: "I'm happy that the deterrent that has been there all the time is beginning to be used because very few, up until now, have been taken to court."


Earlier this month a man jailed for five years for a sex attack had his conviction quashed after fresh evidence pointed to his "victim" being a liar.


Warren Blackwell, 36, of Byfield Road, Woodford Halse, Northamptonshire, was found guilty at Northampton Crown Court in October 1999 of indecently assaulting the woman.


The woman claimed that she was attacked in the early hours of New Year's Day 1999 after leaving a party at a social club.


Mr Blackwell was jailed for three years and, in March 2002, the Court of Appeal refused his application for permission to appeal and increased his sentence to five years following an application by the Attorney General.


In June 2004, the Criminal Cases Review Commission, which investigates possible miscarriages of justice, asked Northamptonshire Police to assist in reviewing the case and the conviction was subsequently referred back.


In the Court of Appeal, Lady Justice Hallett, Mr Justice Silber and Mr Justice Tugendhat declared Mr Blackwell's conviction "unsafe" in the light of the Commission's report, which referred to new evidence relating to the credibility of the complainant.

Variety 'spices up' sex lives

[News.com.au] - Women who have sex with other women and those who expand their sexual repertoire are more likely to have orgasms, an Australian study has found.

The latest findings from the nation's largest sexuality survey unveiled today shed new light on the relationship between what lovers do in the sack and whether they experience orgasm.

The sex snapshot, based on interviews with more than 19,000 people, shows that standard intercourse is by far the most common sexual practice.

About 95 per cent of those interviewed engaged in the act in their last sexual encounter, while 75 per cent also had some kind of "manual stimulation".

One quarter had received oral sex and only one per cent had anal sex.

The study, published in the latest Journal of Sex Research, shows that 31.1 per cent of women having heterosexual sex in their last encounter did not have an orgasm, compared to 24 per cent of those involved in lesbian sex.

Only 5.2 per cent of men did not orgasm.

The researchers, from Melbourne's La Trobe University and the Universities of Sydney and New South Wales, said they were surprised at the "extreme discrepancies" between men and women.

One explanation, says co-author Chris Rissel, is the heavy concentration on intercourse – more "effective" for men – as the "central, almost compulsory sexual practice" for heterosexuals.

On top of this, men want sex more than women, so in long-term relationships women commonly give away "freebies", he said.

The research, part of the Australian Study of Health and Relationships, clearly showed that the more sexual practices a women engages in the more likelihood she has of orgasm.

For example, less than half of women who had standard intercourse on its own had an orgasm.

But those who added two variations to the repertoire had up to 90 per cent "success".

Prof Rissel said these findings challenge old fashioned attitudes to women's sexuality that blame the individual if she is unable to have an orgasm.

"Much of the research on female difficulties with orgasm or with heterosexual sex in general has focused more on indirect causes, such as upbringing, attitudes, religion, marital adjustment, anxiety, previous traumatic experience," rather than form of stimulation received, the authors wrote.

They said recent attempts had been made to "medicalise" women's sexual difficulties to create a market for female Viagra.

But their findings show that "the sexual stimulation delivered to women in the typical, rigidly-scripted heterosexual interaction has more to do with whether they reach orgasm (and we suspect, enjoy sex) than with more obscure and distant causes".

Former Ohio State Star Maurice Clarett Agrees to Plead Guilty

Signs 31/2 year contract to play for the Cons.

COLUMBUS OH [AP]— Former Ohio State football star Maurice Clarett agreed Monday to plead guilty to aggravated robbery and carrying a concealed weapon. The deal would send him to prison for at least 3 1/2 years and end two criminal cases against him.

The agreement was announced by Judge David Fais on the day jury selection was to begin in a case in which Clarett is accused of holding up two people outside a bar.

The concealed weapon charge was from his August arrest after a highway chase with police who found four loaded guns in Clarett's sport utility vehicle after they spiked the tires. Police used pepper spray to subdue and handcuff Clarett, who was wearing a bulletproof vest.

The deal called for a 7 1/2-year sentence with release possible after 3 1/2 years. The 22-year-old player also agreed to serve five years of probation after the prison sentence.

Clarett said he understood he was pleading guilty and reversing his earlier innocent plea.

"I'd like to apologize for my behavior, and I accept the time that was given to me," he said.

After the deal was announced, he looked over at his mother who was sobbing and holding his 8-week-old daughter while sitting next to his girlfriend.

Assistant Prosecutor Tim Mitchell said the plea deal is consistent with how his office handles similar cases.

"Anyone else would have gone to prison. He's not getting any special treatment," Mitchell said.

"As robberies go it wasn't as bad as some I've seen."

Defense attorneys left the courtroom without commenting.

After the police-chase incident, Clarett was charged with two counts of failure to comply with an order from a police officer and improper handling of a firearm, in addition to the concealed-weapon charge.

The case generated such intense media coverage Clarett's attorneys asked the court to pay for a public opinion poll to determine if an impartial jury could be seated for the robbery trial. Fais denied the request.

Clarett scored the winning touchdown in the second overtime of the Fiesta Bowl to lead Ohio State to the 2002 national championship, but that was the last game he played for the Buckeyes.

After dropping out of Ohio State, he lost a U.S. Supreme Court case challenging the NFL's requirement that players wait three years after high school before turning pro. The Denver Broncos made Clarett a surprise third-round pick in the NFL's 2005 draft but cut him during the preseason.

Arresting development when Pack loses

packerslogo.jpg Green Bay WI [Chicago Tribune] - Nearly 50 percent more people are arrested on average at Lambeau Field when the Packers lose than when they win, according to a newspaper analysis. The Green Bay Press-Gazette analyzed arrests from 94 of the 107 games at Lambeau Field between August 1996 and January 2006. The newspaper found that when the Packers win, an average of 5.8 people are arrested, compared with 9.08 when they lose. Al Timmerman, retired Green Bay Police operations commander who formerly oversaw Lambeau Field tactics, said the difference is tied directly to the mood of the crowd. "When the Packers lost, the fans drank more and they became more unruly," he said. "When the team is losing and they're down, everyone is down in the dumps, and the beer was flowing a little bit better." When the Bears visit, arrests average 9.1 per game--win or lose.
