Lawyer to Casey Anthony Video Diary Hacker: You’re Gonna Pay!

January 9, 2012


Casey Anthony’s attorney, Jose Baez, says the recent release of her video diaries was NOT intentional and he plans to go after whoever leaked the private videos.

Jose told Geraldo Rivera that the alleged invasion of privacy is “criminal.”

Casey was acquitted of murder charges last summer and “should be able to go on with her life,” Baez says, adding that he is extremely upset about all of this.

“I think this is outrageous that this is happening. I think it’s criminal.”

If he finds out who leaked the Casey Anthony video diaries (below), Jose says he plans to push officials to prosecute the alleged thief to the “fullest extent of the law.”

An anonymous Twitterer posted what appear to be private video messages recorded by Casey Anthony in her Florida residence, where she is serving probation.

A second recording surfaced after the initial, longer release. Here’s both:

Beyonce, Jay-Z Issue Statement on Daughter’s Birth


In a statement released just a few hours ago, Beyonce and Jay-Z officially confirmed that she gave birth to baby girl, Blue Ivy Carter, on Saturday.

Jay and Bey say Saturday was the best day ever for them.

“Her birth was emotional and extremely peaceful, we are in heaven. She was delivered naturally at a healthy 7 lbs and it was the best experience of both of our lives.”

“We are thankful to everyone for all your prayers, well wishes, love and support.”

Jay-Z released “Glory” – a new song he wrote as a tribute to baby Blue, and which even features her at the end – online earlier today. It’s a cool song, and so sweet.

Congratulations again to the happy couple!

He may cook meth on Breaking Bad, but Emmy winner Aaron Paul cooked up a far more legal, more romantic plan over New Year’s:

He proposed to girlfriend Lauren Parsekian – and she accepted!

“I’m so happy and excited and honored to share my life with the most amazing man on the planet,” the 24-year old co-CEO of Finding Kind Productions wrote on Facebook today, flashing her engagement ring for all to see.

TLC Star Ami James Opens Up About His Personal Oasis

Ami_James_2_01092012.jpg

“Living in both worlds is kind of a blessing,” says celebrity tattoo artist and TLC star Ami James, who divides his time between NYC (where his hit reality show, NY INK, is taped) and South Beach, Florida, where his real home — and his heart — is.

“I love it here,” says Ami, a Florida native who can often be found hanging poolside or chilling out in his tropical backyard where he paints and daydreams. “When I’m out here, the birds are singing, you don’t hear horns honking or sirens blaring, you’re totally away from the hustle and bustle of the world. It’s great,” he says.

NY INK airs Thursday nights at 9pm on TLC.

AnnaLynne McCord Tweets Topless Photo


Unlike other celebrity nude photo leaks, AnnaLynne McCord can’t blame this one on a hacker.

On January 5, the 90210 actress actually Tweeted a picture of herself topless to follower @meganraee, who, according to our crack research term, is a Colorado native named Megan Lujan.

McCord included the message “This is for you… You rock! Xxx” to the fan and attached the following photo, which she later cropped to not include any bare breasts:

It’s unknown why Lujan rocks and what prompted McCord to send out an image of herself half-naked.

But THG is happy to rock, roll and everything in between if it means we can be next on AnnaLynne’s list.

Republican Debate Highlights: Ron Paul Edition!


Some viewers of Sunday’s Republican debate remarked that the coverage of said debate sorely lacked for Ron Paul, who is running second in New Hampshire polls.

With that in mind, we present a video montage that should more than make up for that – highlights from Sunday morning’s NBC/Facebook debate, Ron Paul style!

Despite being more or less dismissed by many pundits as having no chance at the White House, Paul finished a strong third in Iowa and may top that in New Hampshire.

His message strikes a chord with a motivated section of the electorate. The only question is whether he can grow it. Check out some of the candidate’s answers Sunday:

Justin Bieber Talks About Haters, To God


Days after getting a permanent body marker of his Lord and Savior, Justin Bieber has gone on record with his feelings about God and religion.

In the latest issue of V, Justin says his faith may be private – well, except for that new tattoo – but that doesn’t make it any less real or important.

“A lot of people who are religious, I think they get lost,” Bieber tells the magazine. “They go to church just to go to church. I’m not trying to disrespect them, but for me, I focus more on praying and talking to Him. I don’t have to go to church.”

An interesting take.

Bieber also compares himself to undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather, but fortunately for any personal reasons.

“Now that I’m on top, everyone wants to bring me down,” he says. “Everyone’s trying to tug at me and take my spot. Like Floyd Mayweather, he’s the best boxer in the world. Now he is a champion. Every time he goes to a fight now, people are like, ‘He’s going to lose this time.’”

Hmmm… We’re not really familiar with these critics that are supposedly aiming to take Justin down, the guy is really as beloved as any celebrity out there. What do you think of this combative side to Bieber?

Jay-Z Releases “Glory” Featuring Blue Ivy Carter!


“I’ll paint the sky Blue, my greatest creation is you.” – Jay-Z to Blue Ivy Carter

It’s only fitting that after Beyonce gave birth to the world’s most anticipated baby in … well, a long time, Jay-Z has come up with the greatest baby gift ever.

After Bey welcomed the couple’s daughter Saturday, Jay has made a delivery of his own: A song titled “Glory,” which he released on his blog Life+Times.

The soul-inflected song is an ode to newly born Blue Ivy Carter, who makes her world music debut with an adorable bit of gentle crying at the end.

The song’s other guest vocalist is Pharrell Williams. Take a listen below!

Snoop Dogg Arrested For Marijuana Possession


Snoop Dogg was arrested in Texas this weekend after an actual dog uncovered marijuana on his tour bus at a border patrol checkpoint in Sierra Blanca.

Willie Nelson got popped for weed in the same small back in 2010.

Ironic, seeing as Snoop went off against cops in 2010 for arresting the country singer at the time, claiming, “They better leave Willie the f**k alone.”

Snoop Dogg on 4/20

Snoop Dogg on April 20 of last year. And probably most days of last year.

In Snoop’s case, the border patrol ran a standard inspection of the bus, when the K-9 agent alerted its human bosses to a possible hit in a waste basket in the back.

Sure enough, border patrol agents claim they found a red prescription bottle with several joints inside. We’re told the bottle contained under a half-ounce of weed.

Officials say Snoop Dogg admitted the dope was his, and that he has prescription for cannabis in California. There is a zero tolerance policy for weed in Texas, however.

Snoop was issued a citation for misdemeanor drug possession and released. If convicted on the drug charge, the 40-year-old could face up to 180 days in jail.

NOTE: Somewhere, Ron Paul is shaking his head over this violation of the D-O-double-gizzle’s civil liberties. NOTE #2: Not really, but he would legalize the sticky-icky fo sho.
