Casey Anthony Claims Video Diary Hacked – And She is PISSED!

January 10, 2012


Casey Anthony claims the video diaries that leaked online last week were stolen from her computer by a malicious hacker of unknown origin, reports say.

That’s according to a probation officer at the Florida Department of Corrections, which is overseeing Casey’s case. For check fraud. Not the murder thing.

The embattled 25-year-old made this claim during her recent meeting with her P.O., insisting someone illegally downloaded the clips off of her computer.

She then, unintentionally, returned to the public eye in this video:

A second diary surfaced a few days later, also cloaked in mystery.

Aside from the fact that it’s Casey Anthony, the diaries themselves are mundane. As part of her therapy, presumably, she discusses her daily life nowadays, adopting a dog, having her nose pierced, getting a new phone and whatnot.

Nothing remotely embarrassing or even that interesting, frankly, but according to court documents, Casey’s royally pissed the videos were stolen and her attorneys are openly promising they will come after the hacker if/when s/he is revealed.

We’d lay low if we were that person. Jose Baez doesn’t lose.

Dr. Conrad Murray: You Want Me to Pay, Too?!


Dr. Conrad Murray wants the judge in his criminal manslaughter case to deny Michael Jackson’s family restitution, arguing that MJ was responsible for his demise.

Murray was convicted and sentenced for involuntary manslaughter already. That is set in stone. However, he is still fighting the restitution the star’s family seeks.

Murray is asking for evidence the defense never received during the trial – evidence he claims could show Michael self-administered the fatal dose of Propofol.

Murray’s lawyer, J. Michael Flanagan, argues that – guilty verdict aside – in deciding how much restitution the family gets, the victim’s responsibility matters.

So Murray will concede he’s partly to blame (he can’t argue otherwise because of the conviction) but he still wants to prove that Jackson caused his own death.

The prosecution is asking for around $100 million in restitution, but the judge hasn’t decided on a figure. The level of culpability will ultimately play into that.

Once the figure is set, if Flanagan gets his way and the judge were to decide MJ was 50 percent responsible, the judge would reduce restitution by 50 percent.

Also complicating matters? Murray is pretty much broke, and if anything, Jackson’s family has profited from his death. So … the judge has a lot to ponder.

Molly Sims: Pregnant With First Child!


Molly Sims is going to be mommy Sims.

The 38-year-old model, jewelry designer and actress is expecting her first child with her new husband Scott Stuber, her rep confirmed this afternoon.

“There are simply no words to describe the feeling,” Sims wrote. “I finally get what they mean when they say pregnant women glow.”

Sims explained that a “first pregnancy is a nerve-wracking experience of course, but mostly we are just thrilled and excited. We can’t wait to meet him or her.”

Sims also shared how she broke the news to Scott Stuber, 42.

“I hijacked a fortune cookie and typed a new message so that when he opened his cookie at the end of the meal, he found out he was going to be a daddy.”

“You can only imagine how nervous I was during the entire meal – I think I ate a total of two bites – but the look of surprise and joy on his face was priceless.”

Stuber, who produced Love and Other Drugs, popped the question in May 2011. The couple married in September. Congratulations on the impending arrival!

Katie Holmes: Topless For H. Stern!


Katie Holmes poses provocatively in a new campaign for H. Stern.

What kind of clothes to does the line sell? We wouldn’t know based on the first of two images below. The wife of Tom Cruise is not exactly wearing any.

The second one gives you a better idea, fortunately (or not):

The 33-year-old actress will be featured in the line’s campaign when it launches in the U.S. this fall. She is already repping the brand in ads in Israel.

Katie’s hubby, Mission: Impossible 4 star Cruise, recently told People magazine that he falls a little bit more in love with his wife every day.

“It’s been quite an amazing five years because of her,” he shared.

With ads like this, we can see why.

Britney Spears, “Second Family” Pose For V


Team Britney Spears – literally, the singer and her management team – are featured in V magazine in a story about entertainers and their “second families.”

The team is featured in these two Britney Spears pics:

“I have worked with all of them for many, many years so it was fun to see them together again on the first day of the tour,” Brit said. “Everybody was catching up and telling all of their fun stories from the past, laughing and just having a great time.”

NOTE: Jason Trawick, Brit’s fiance, used to be her agent as well.

Rihanna Goes Behind the Scenes of “Battleship”


Rihanna is soldiering into 2012.

The 23-year-old singer just posted an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at her upcoming, action packed film Battleship on her official YouTube channel.

Rih plays resident weapons officer Raikes in the film, and says she learned the ropes for it by shadowing an actual member of the United States Navy.

“I watched her and I just really lived and breathed in her mindset and tried to really get into her character,” Rihanna says. Check out the video below:

Andy Cohen Defends Inclusion of Russell Armstrong on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills


Andy Cohen faced the press/fire this week at the Television Critics Association, answering questions about the new season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and, specifically, why Russell Armstrong has been featured despite his suicide in August.

“He was given the option to not come back or come back and he chose to come back,” Cohen said. “He had spoken to producers a lot vocally about how it had helped his business being on the show, so you know, I can’t speak to that.”

In an interview prior to the new season airing, Armstrong referred to the show as phony BS, warning that producers edit every action and every conversation.

Did they ever considering cutting him entirely from the show, following his death?

“We had many discussions, as you can imagine, for a long time about how to do the serious discussions,” said Cohen. “And I think what emerged is the story of a woman trying to extricate herself from a bad, broken marriage in which she was unhappy and in which domestic violence played a part. And that was the story that wound up emerging from the season.”

That, and very high ratings, of course.

Kate Gosselin Cruise: The Worst Idea Ever


There is a Kate Gosselin cruise. Yes, a cruise featuring Kate Gosselin herself. This summer. Offered by Royal Caribbean, which is like a major cruise line.

On August 12-19, if you are so inclined, you can set sail with Kate on a ship for between $1,900 and $3,175. A small price to pay for a brush with … wait.

The trip starts in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., moving on to Jamaica, Cozumel, etc. Kate will be available for Q&A sessions, photo ops, crafts and cocktail parties!

Better vacation: This or a week in Pyongyang?

Katie G

The hilarious thing is that Kate Gosselin, for all her good qualities (there must be some, we’re thinking) is basically famous for yelling, being a grating harpy, insisting on having things her way, seeking attention and emasculating her then-husband.

Just want you want to be around … on VACATION.

Are people actually interested in things like this? Is it actually a selling point to go on a celebrity cruise? Or one with Kate Gosselin for that matter?

Seriously, tell us. And if the answer is yes, just spend August working instead. Some nice overtime pay has to be better than Mai Tais with the TLC banshee.

Dixville Notch Kicks Off New Hampshire Primary With Tie!


Dixville Notch has cast its ballots in the New Hampshire primary. If the tiny village is anything like the rest of the state (which it’s not), this is gonna be close!

Voters in the hamlet famed for casting the first ballots in the US’ first primary found themselves in a 2-2 tie between Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman.

Coming in second with one vote apiece were Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul.

For the Democrats, President Barack Obama received three votes.

Voting in NH

The nine residents who cast their ballots in Dixville Notch at daybreak include three registered Republicans, two registered Democrats, and four independents.

Those voters also represent the town’s entire population. Talk about turnout!

Rush Limbaugh: Dems WANT Mitt to Win!


Are Democrats salivating at facing the guy winning – or at least perceived, by the media, to have the best chance of winning – the Republican presidential race?

Yes, Rush Limbaugh says.

The radio host is one of several prominent Republicans who believe the party would stand a better chance with a less vanilla candidate – and Democrats know it.

“The Democrats are afraid of any candidate they have sought to destroy. You can start with Sarah Palin, you can move on to Santorum. Any – any conservative who shows any interest – the Democrats set out to destroy,” he said.

“That’s who they’re genuinely afraid of. They are not hammering Mitt Romney at all, and (Democratic strategist) Donna Brazile let the cat out of the bag. Don’t doubt me.”

Do you agree with Limbaugh’s point? Makes you wonder if Ron Paul were leading polls, how the White House and other prominent Dems would react.
