Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has totally lost his mind...again.

Today he issued an "official" wager on  Los Angeles City letterhead to Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon, that has both cities shaking their collective heads tonight.

On the basketball court,  The Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers began their best of seven series for the Western Conference Championship in the NBA Playoffs over at Staples Center (Lakers won 128-107). 

Mayor V said he wanted to "introduce" some humor into what has been a divisive topic by wagering that if the Lakers beat the Suns, Villaraigosa would send the Republican candidates for California governor, Steve Poizner and Meg Whitman, over to Arizona.

If the Suns win Villaraigosa said he'd take Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, a controversial figure in the immigration debate who's been accused of racial profiling in Phoenix.

What an idiot.  Whatever happened to a box of Oranges, or a trip to Disneyland or Universal Studio's?  Why does Antonio always have to make EVERYTHING a POLITICAL ISSUE?  I can't wait for him to go back into the life of a "Private Citizen."  He has been the a nightmare as the Mayor of Los Angeles. What do you think?  Is this funny or sic humor and we should just take as "typical Antonio?"

Well it didn't take long for new racy "stripper-pole" photos of  Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih to hit the Internet.

Just 24 hours after she was crowned in Las Vegas as the new Miss USA, a radio station in her hometown of Detroit is in the middle of another American beauty pageant brew ha ha.

Mojo in the Morning (radio station) posted images of Fakih competing its 2007 "Stripper 101" contest that shows the new Miss USA with leaving very little to ones imagination. if you get my drift.

Here is the link to the really shocking pics that I do not want to post since they are very revealing

The radio station says it was all in good fun, but Mojo in the Morning wrote on its website today that Miss USA officials contacted them "requesting more photographs and information" regarding Fakih's involvement in the contest.

Here is the "official statement from Mojo In the Morning:"

"Mojo In The Morning fully supports Rimah Fakih as she represents Detroit and America in the Miss Universe contest... The radio show will not entertain requests to drag her name through the mud.  When the shows producers asked pageant officials if the images would affect Fakih's title, they wouldn't answer.

"Mojo in the Morning fully supports Rimah Fakih as she represents Detroit and America in the Miss Universe contest," a Mojo staffer emailed Celebrity Circuit. "The radio show will not entertain requests to drag her name through the mud."

So, do you think Miss USA should be "stripped" of her new title?  Or, is this what beauty pageants are all about in this new "less is more" society that we live in?  Sound off, and tell me what you think, hit my comment section below.

Black Sabbath fans all over the world are in mourning today. Ronnie James Dio, best known for his iconic wailing for Black Sabbath and, before that, Rainbow, died of stomach cancer over the weekend.  He was reported to be 67 years old. 

I remember when Black Sabbath first burst onto the scene back when I was a student at Cerritos High School back in the mid to late 1970's.  This loud, sometimes angry music, was "THE MUSIC" for an entire generation of Baby Boomers who are now in their late 40's to late 60's.

His wife Wendy Dio released the following statement:

"Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45am 16th May. Many, many friends and family were able to say their private good-byes before he peacefully passed away. Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all. We so appreciate the love and support that you have all given us. Please give us a few days of privacy to deal with this terrible loss. Please know he loved you all and his music will live on forever. -- Wendy Dio

So, today, when you turn on that Adam Lambert fellow, or that milktoast Taylor Swift, remember that Ronnie James Dio was the real deal, and today another great rock icon is gone forever.

RIP!

London Fog and Ash, UK:

Bad news.  Heathrow Airport over in London is closed AGAIN today because of the horrible volcano over in Iceland.

Yep, Europe's busiest airport closed around 10 minutes ago, due to a dense cloud of volcanic ash that is once again spewing across England from Iceland, and it could be closed until Wednesday.


The airspace over London's Heathrow Airport closed at around Midnight local time (Los Angeles) today.

A dense cloud of volcanic ash drifting from Iceland has prompted officials to close airports in northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.  No flights were allowed to and from the Isle of Man on Sunday. All three airports in Northern Ireland were closed to air traffic. The no-fly zone also included Manchester and Liverpool in northern England, as well as Prestwick in Scotland, the National Air Traffic Service said.

"Heathrow flights will resume from 07:00 today. However, delays and cancellations are likely due to restrictions being applied by NATS to Heathrow's airspace. We therefore strongly advise passengers planning to fly today to contact their airline before leaving for the airport.   Thank you for your patience during this latest period of disruption."

The restrictions affecting Heathrow — as well as Gatwick, Stansted and London City airports. 

So, to my readers in the UK, thanks for this update.  Hang in there, and oh, btw, if you are planning a trip to the UK from Los Angeles or the West Coast, please check the Heathrow Airport website for all the latest news.

HISTORY AT MISS USA: Stunning Arab-American from Michigan wins crown. Rima Fakih is not your "typical" American Beauty!

It Stays In Vegas:

History was made the Miss USA Pageant Sunday night.

For the first time ever,  an Arab American has been named Miss USA, and tonight America is buzzin' about this Dearborn, Michigan beauty.

Rima Fakih, 24,  Miss Michigan beat out 50 other women to take the 2010 Miss USA title Sunday night, despite nearly falling on her face in the evening gown competition.  I love this annual event, and tonight NBC is celebrating a ratings blockbuster!

Fakih  won the pageant at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

I knew that all of the "pre-buzz" over Fakih was worth it.  She took the stage with a smile that was just as bright as any hotel marquee on the Vegas strip.

Eyebrow rose when she appeared in her orange and gold bikini, and wore a strapless white gown that resembled a wedding dress.  She got into the political fray when she said in the Interview competition that health insurance should cover birth control pills.  Yikes.  This is not your typical Miss USA.

When asked how she felt about winning the crown, she said, "Ask me after I've had a pizza."  WTF?  Pizza?  Pizza?  With that figure?

Fakih, is a Lebanese immigrant.  She celebrates both Muslim and Christian faiths and moved to the United States as a baby and was raised in New York.  She attended a Catholic school (yet she appears to support a woman's right to choose), and her family moved to Michigan in 2003.

If you  recall, the Miss USA Pageant began here in Long Beach, California back in 1952.  Tonight, Pageant officials and historians are trying to determine if Fakih is the Arab American, Muslim or immigrant to win the Miss USA title.

Fakih sold her car after graduating college in Michigan to help pay for her run in the Miss Michigan USA pageant.

She said she believed she had the title on Sunday after glancing at pageant owner Donald Trump as she awaited the results with the first runner-up, Miss Oklahoma USA Morgan Elizabeth Woolard.  "That's the same look that he gives them when he says, 'You're hired,'" on Trump's reality show "The Apprentice," she said.

Fakih replaces Miss USA 2009 Kristen Dalton and won a spot representing the United States this summer in the 2010 Miss Universe pageant. She also gets a one-year lease in a New York apartment with living expenses, an undisclosed salary (some say it is around $500,000)  and various health, professional and beauty services. 

Miss Virginia USA Samantha Evelyn Casey was the second runner-up, Miss Colorado USA Jessica Hartman was third runner-up, and Miss Maine USA Katherine Ashley Whittier was the fourth runner-up.  Miss California Nicole Johnson from nearby Westlake Villiage made the Top 10.

During the interview portion, Fakih was asked whether she thought birth control should be paid for by health insurance, and she said she believed it should because it's costly. "I believe that birth control is just like every other medication even though it's a controlled substance," Fakih said.

My top moment: Joan and Melissa Rivers backstage.  OMG.  What a riot!  Joan, you will always be my "Miss USA!"

The OC:

Lilly the Gray Whale has died today sending sadness to many here in Orange County and to her newly found fans across the world.

Lilly made local and national headlines this week when the gray whale got stuck in Dana Point Harbor, tangled in about 150 pounds of netting and tow lines. The 35-foot female grey whale was literally trapped in the local OC harbor for hours.

Lilly was eventually cut free and she began to set out to sea to join the annual whale migration to the cold waters of Alaska

But, nature took its toll on Lily and today she returned to the local harbor area where she was stuck, and and has died.  She washed up on a Dana Point beachfront.  Hundreds of fans are currently going to see Lilly at this beach site.

Members of the rescue team that cut away the entanglements Wednesday told local newspapers that they guessed that Lilly was juvenile whale, around 1 or 2 years old.  The netting that was strung through its mouth may have prevented it from eating.

Gray whales, which typically live to about 60, scoop their food — primarily krill — from the ocean's bottom and filter it through mouth structures called baleen. (Yep, I know my whales....lol).  They migrate between Baja California lagoons, where they calve in the winter, and the waters off Alaska, and Lilly apparently was left behind by her pod.

So Lilly, RIP, girl! 

You made the world around us a little brighter this week!

Hawaiian Gardens. CA:

If you drink and drive in Hawaiian Gardens tonight (Friday) or are driving without a valid California Driver's License and Proof of Insurance, consider this your warning.  If you are driving buzzed tonight, you will probably end up in handcuffs.

Personnel from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Risk Management Bureau will be conducting a DUI/CDL Checkpoint on Friday, May 14, 2010 from 6 PM until approximately 2 AM will be conducted in the City of Hawaiian Gardens. 

The actual loaction is not being annouced, only that it will be within the Hawaiian Gardens city limits. This is in an effort to reduce the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol involved crashes.

DUI checkpoints are conducted to identify offenders and get them off the street, as well as educate the public on the dangers of impaired driving.

All too often, members of our community are senselessly injured or killed on local roadways by impaired drivers. This DUI/CDL checkpoint is an effort to reduce those tragedies, as well as insuring drivers posses a valid driver’s license.

A major component of these checkpoints is to increase awareness of the dangers or impaired driving and to encourage sober designated drivers.

Long Beach, CA

Two suspects remain at large after a bank robbery in Laguna Hills, and one of them have been caught on the 405 Freeway at Woodruff Avenue south of Willow Avenue at the 405 Freeway in Long Beach.

The freeway is on fire at the present time after law enforcement deployed tear gas in a wooded area off the freeway. CNN and all of the local news channels here in Los Angeles are covering this Breaking News story.

The suspect vehicle was stopped northbound on the 405 freeway at the Woodruff exit in Long Beach, where an officer-involved shooting occurred.

The CHP officer reported that the vehicle has bullet holes in the doors and so it is safe to assume that shots were fired by the officer.

One suspect, an adult black male, fled on foot and remains at large. CHP and LBPD officers have set up a perimeter in the east Long Beach neighborhood to search for him.   One of the suspects may be a woman, and a local neighborhood is on lock down, including a school.

The entire area is shutdown.  If you are in the area of Willow and Woodruff STAY INSIDE!  Several local schools are on lockdown including Millikan High School, St. Joseph's High School, and several local elemetary schools.

Some witnesses have reported seeing the suspect on foot near the Carson exit at the 605 Freeway, perhaps in Hawaiian Gardens while other reports have said that the suspect is in Cypress. Officers are still trying to determine which reports are true and currently advise residents to lock their doors.

So, if you see anyone in your neighborhood who looks like these two suspects, call 911.  Police want everyone in this part of our community to take caution and to remain indoors.  BE SAFE!

JAMES HALSTEAD: Orange County Man Sentenced to Over 10 Years in Federal Prison for Role in $61 Million Ponzi Scheme. Judge David O. Carter throws the book at the guy. THANKS JUDGE DAVE!

SANTA ANA, CA—An Orange County resident has been sentenced to 121 months in federal prison for participating in a fraudulent investment scheme with an Orange County attorney that took in more than $61 million before it crashed and caused approximately 140 investors to suffer more than $20 million in losses.


James Halstead, 63, of Tustin, was sentenced late last night by United States District Judge David O. Carter. In addition to the prison term, Judge Carter ordered Halstead to pay $14,525,993 in restitution, which represents the amount of losses directly attributed to Halstead.
BTW...
I use to do campaign work for "Judge Dave" back when he ran against Congressman B-1 Bob Dornan in the mid 1980's here in the Cerritos/West Orange County area.    I am SO SO glad that we have GOOD FEDERAL JUDGES like DAVE CARTER keeping the world around us safer!  We need more "David Carters" as Judges....!

Anyway, back to the case.....on September 28, 2009, Halstead pleaded guilty to wire fraud and mail fraud, admitting that he worked with an Irvine attorney, Jeanne Rowzee, 50, to bilk victims who thought they were investing in public investments in private entities (PIPEs) and money market programs. Halstead and Rowzee promised returns of 25 percent to 35 percent every three to four months.

JAMES HALSTEAD
Heading to the Slammer....on it!
Halstead and Halstead solicited investments in PIPEs as short-term bridge loans to companies that were in the process of obtaining equity financing for growth. Victims were told that their money would be used to fund the short-term loans, and Halstead and Rowzee claimed they had never lost money in this type of investment. Halstead and Rowzee told victims that Rowzee was an experienced securities attorney and had previously worked for the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In reality, the victims’ money was never invested. Halstead and Rowzee instead used the money to make Ponzi payments to some investors and to support their lavish lifestyles. According to court documents, Halstead used $191,005 of victim-investors’ money to buy a Ferrari, more than $1 million to purchase a home for himself in the Las Vegas area, and $162,350 to buy a Porsche.

When he pleaded guilty last fall, Halstead also admitted defrauding a Newport Beach man by offering phony investments in insurance premium funding. Instead of using the money to fund insurance premiums for third parties, Halstead used the money for his own enrichment.

When she pleaded guilty in October 2008 to conspiracy and securities fraud, Rowzee admitted that the PIPEs scheme was a fraud, and that claims to investors – regarding the existence of the PIPEs, her experience as a securities lawyer, that she personally performed due diligence on each PIPE, and that they had never lost any money – were false. Rowzee is scheduled to be sentenced by United States District Judge Andrew J. Guilford on December 13, at which time she faces a statutory maximum sentence of 15 years in federal prison.

The investigation into the PIPE scheme run by Halstead and Rowzee began when victims of the scheme reported the fraud to the FBI’s Orange County office. The investigation into Halstead and Rowzee was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which received assistance from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Check out the video of Chance singing and performing the song on a piano at a Sixth Grade Festival at Cheyenne Middle School in Edmond, Oklahoma and compare it to Lady Gaga's original tune.  At my 6th Grade Talent Show over at Carmenita Junior High School here in Cerritos back in 1970, I was "good enough" to be a "stage hand" so this guy totally rocks in my book.

Wait and see.  This clip will be seen by over 100,000,000 people all over the Globe within a couple of weeks.  Move over Susan Boyle, Grayson is on the BLOG!

First of all, I love the Miss USA Pageant.  I never miss this annual American tradition.  But this year, I want everyone to watch with better interest. DVR's get ready for action.

The contestants this year are wearing fish net stockings, corset's, g-stings, lacy thongs, and that nearly nothing else.

This year is not about the "all-American girl next door." 

It's about sex, sex and more sex, and some are thinking this year could be a RATINGS EXPLOSION!

Contestants are shedding off almost everything in hopes of earning top scores. 

Take Miss California Nicole Michele Johnson.  Gulp.  Look at her...? There she is.  All of her.  Yep.  Nothing left for the imagination.

So, wake up America, and get ready for Miss USA.

The 59th-annual competition will be broadcast live from Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas this Sunday, May 16 from 7-9 p.m. ET.

The telecast will feature performances by multi-platinum country music superstar Trace Adkins and pop rock band Boys Like Girls (BLG), as well as color commentary by Joan and Melissa Rivers. Curtis Stone and Natalie Morales will serve as Co-Hosts for the event and my Melissa and Joan Rivers will serve as "Commentators."  OMG.  Thank GAWD for Joan and Melissa!  This will be HUGE!
