Operation Deactivation

The State of Cali is pushin’ a bill that would not only punish the smuggler  but the ’smugglee’ of contraband cellphones.   The bill pushed by Alex Padilla, D-Cali, wants to punish smugglers -employees or visitors- for smugglin’ cellphones into the pen.   They call it a threat to public safety.  They call it “Operation Deactivation.“

 Now there are some who don’t see too much harm with  inmates checkin’ and updatin’ Facebook pages (yep. they have those too, and got 200+ friends! -the police don’t know how late they really are…)  and browsin’ the internet, makin’  calls to loved ones for commissary money…

The Feds see that shyt a lot differently.

“We don’t just suspect, we know that cell phones are being used by inmates to commit all sorts of crimes.  To intimidate witnesses, to terrorize rape victims, to plan escapes from prison, to coordinate attacks on guards; the list goes on and on.”

They claim they already got Federal indictments on murders and drug deals orchestrated from behind bars via celly… This law includes takin’  6 months ‘good time’ from the inmates caught with the phone. ’   Facilitate a crime’  on that  mofo,  and you might be addin’ two -to-five on it.  You bring it in to your man or homie?    Six months in prison, and a fine up to $5G’s-per phone.     Prison employees caught with they pants down, would only get fined  (Aint that a bia??)   

They mad.  They say they confiscated 10-ThouWow+  cellphones in Cali prisons alone, in 2010.  They got 271 more from the C.O.’s    They not havin’ it. Operation Deactivate that’s what they call they lil ‘monitorin’ system- was testin ’ in one Cali pen (they wouldn’t disclose which…),  and said they detected 250 devices tryin’  to access the internet, or tryin’ to access an outside trunk (PacBell lingo for “outside line”).    Another ‘pilot program’  detected 4000 transmissions from 480 unauthorized cells in a 24 hr period. 

  Mofo’s is accessin’ they asses off!~

South Carolina is on a misson too.   Recently saw a blurb about them crackin’  down on “Inmate Facebook Access” (they have a code name for this too!)   IDK- I guess if I was the parent/brother/sister/cousin/aintee/Uncle Leroy/homie/lover/friend of a murder vic, I wouldn’t want to run up on the person who killed my love one,  smilin’ at me  on FB, and playin’ “Crime City”

 (^*shrugs*^)

I’m jus’ sayin’…

The Prince is Back!

Now that I have your attention- not ‘that’ one…

This boy is prettier than most women...

Y’all know I ♥ me some Prince Poppycock (a.k.a. John Andrew Quale)!   Went all out when the show was on.   When he was on America’s Got Talent  I so wanted him to win, and when he didn’t, (I was mad, but…I liked Michael Grimm too.)   I couldn’t wait to see where he would pop up next.

The Prince has Popped Up!

Bergdorf Goodman-that store I will never be able to afford even a bra-strap in- unveiled its holiday windows last week, and fresh off his bein’ named Honorary Mayor of West Hollywood (Yep!), he appears as “Master of Ceremonies“!

This guy is just 4-2-Much!

Check out flics of the windows and some awesome ones of  The Prince!

Okay-somebody already emailed me and asked me if this dude was gay.  Yes he is.  Openly.  And he’s single.

 Satisfied?

The Stupid HR Mgr and Social Networkin’

See, this is exactly why people have to stop postin’  their entire life stories on sites like Facebook and Twitter.  The wrong people might see it…

A woman in Staten Isle, NY decided to perp a fraud and then brought the whole thing crashin’ down,  amongst other things, on FB.   Rebecca Thybulle handed her boss a copy of a court jury summons, that instructed her to call a number that will tell her when and where to report.  The next day Becky didn’t show up for work and on the third day called her boss sayin’ she was ‘picked for jury duty on a vehicular homicide case.  Bytch was gone for EIGHT entire days.

She is the Human Resources Manager at the Amboy Road offices of   the Children’s Home Intervention Programs, a state-funded program for autistic kids.

What busted the dummy was that she left evidence to the fact she had changed the date and name on the actual summons.  Sittin’ right out on her desk.  It was issued to her father,  Robert,  who lives at the same address.   A month ago.

She also had the summons come from Richmond County,  instead of the state.  The state normally issue court summons, idiot.

Meanwhile,  this rocket scientist is postin’  on FB, “Bmore bound” and  ”Off to Fogo de Chao then going to see Kevin Hart perform.”  Fogo de Chao is a Brazilian restaurant, and Kevin Hart is a comedian who was performin’  in Baltimore (“Bmore”) that night.   She even said on FB that she didn’t see the show because it was sold out!  What a clod…

She was arrested when she came tippin’ up into her office  the 9th day,  like everything was peachy.

 FB pic. And yeah,  she DID bust herself out on the page!

Now she’s facin’ 14 years in the slammer for two counts each of second-degree forgery and second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument.   She even tried to justify her lil faus pas by sayin’ “I needed to take some personal time off.   My boss would not allow me to without a good excuse, and even then would badger you about it.”    Compared to 14 years in prison?  Badger me any day.

It’s not like she needed this shyt.   Her plate is already full.  In about 3 weeks, she’s bein’ sentenced for attempted grand larceny-the theft of $6400-  from a company she worked at as payroll manager.  She was convicted in 2002 of skimmin’ $25Thou-Wow off the books of a home for the elderly, where she was also the payroll manager.

She has two problems.  One, she can’t seem to keep her hands off other folks money, and two, she has absolutely no common sense , what so ever.

Po’ thang.

She’s got a lot of time to think about it.

Team Poppycock

I’m  not a huge fan of America’s Got Talent; if I’m channel surfin’  and run across something that catches my eye, I will watch.  This is not a show I rush home to see. 

‘But this Prince Poppycock is the reason I’ve been watchin’  this current competition.  This guy is flamboyant, outrageous, and very ‘campy’.  This guy is the Male(?) version of Lady Gaga (Sharon Osborne made that distinction).  I think he is somethin’ else! 

Prince Poppycock is the alter ego of a Los Angeles store clerk, 32 yr old John Quale. 

From his Myspace  page:

“In 2006 Prince Poppycock was born.    At the time John was studying Opera,  and had just completed learning the Figaro aria, ‘Largo al Factotum’. When a friend asked John to perform the aria at her nightclub there was only one stipulation: he must wear a wig.   John decided to perform as a powdered-wigged baroque dandy, and highlight how the song was about being a fabulous hairdresser (it really is!).     Prince Poppycock was born!”

You really came a long way, baby!

In real life , John is actually a  nice lookin’ guy.   He was raised on a horse farm in VA.  He’s a singer and songwriter, havin’ been singin’ since he was 11.  He spent his summers  attending  the  prestigious Interlochen Arts Camp,  a competitive performing arts program of the Interlochen Center for the Arts,  and performin’  and tourin’  with musicals and choirs thru his high school and college years.  He even sang with and wrote for the pop band Endora.   His solo debut album is now available on iTunes, and he is currently workin’  on a “Poppycock” debut album. 

not bad...

The winner of the show will earn a headlinin’ show at Caesar’s Palace in Vegas and a $1Milli in cold cash.   Though he was eliminated tonight (dammit!),  this is one act that surely belongs in Vegas.     His website  is awesome!

Whatever he does, I’m gone on his look, and waitin’ to see what’s next for The Prince.

Team Poppycock, I’m in!

*THIS JUST IN*:   The America’s Got Talent winner for 2010 is Michael Grimm.   He sang  ”Me and Bobby McGee”, one of my Janis Joplin favs with Jewel.  If it was gonna be anybody other than The Prince, I wanted it to be him. 

From the start he had said that, if he won, he wanted to use some of his prize money to help his grandparents, who raised him and lost everything in Hurricane Katrina.   He plans to give them a new home.   Bless his heart

Yay, Michael!

dGb!

MySpace Sexy? (Caution: ‘Chickenhead’ Flic!)

Now see, this is when Chicken Head-Dom goes wild  and  falls off the map. 

A bit of advice:   Next time you tryin’ to be sexy, DO NOT GO INTO THE LATRINE, CHICKENHEAD!  That is not a photo-friendly place to snap ‘sexy’ pics, unless some high-powered ad firm is involved with props n’ shyt. 

Captured on MySpace: 

 It isn’t enough that the bathroom is a mess and her clothes are piled on the floor.   If you must use the bathroom as a set for sexy pics , please flush the toilet, dayummit!  Didnt you notice that huge log floatin in the bowl  BEFORE you uploaded the flic??  

This is not cute or attractive.

jus’ nasty!~

Brandy & Ray J’s Step Brother?

C-Dove

I’m cruisin’ the net this mornin’, and ran up on a story on urbanworld.com that ‘suggests’ that Mr. Norwood (Brandy and Ray J’s dad) has an illegitimate son, who goes by the name C-Dove.

On this dude’s MySpace page, he calls them out in the ‘About Me” section:

“Danyelle Demetrious Brown (A.K.A.) C-Dove, Born May 6, 1975, at University of Chicago, Lying In Hospital Chicago, Illinois, to his mother Lynetta Brown and his father Willie Ray Norwood Jr.   Both parents were raised in, and, are from Greenwood, Mississippi.   He is the only child that his mother has…”

Brandy and Ray J’s alledged half-brother has even made a video recently, challenging his ‘siblings’ to do a DNA test to prove that they are related.  In the video, ‘C-Dove’ urges his family to meet him in Downtown Atlanta in May to ‘settle the whole situation’ so everybody knows the truth once and for all.   When asked in the video why he does not appear in his younger siblings’ reality show,  C-Dove says he feel that they might be ‘threatened’ by him.

He claims that Ray-J already acknowledges him as his brother, but it is the media who are putting doubts in his head, telling him ‘not to trust that guy’. 

To me the guys looks and sounds like Ray J (check the pics on MySpace).  Favors Mr. Norwood too.   I’m wonderin’ why they don’t just come clean and get on with it…?

Blast From The Past: Floetry~“Gettin’ Late…”

::~Floetry*::

 

These are absolutely MY GURLS!   

These two chicks appeared on the scene from England with they own lil style! 

~Floetry, consistin’ of  Marsha Ambrosius (“the Songstress“) -she looks like my baby sis, Aquila, and Natalie Stewart (“the Floacist“),  are two friends who met attending Brits Performing Arts School.   

 In 1997, Marsha  and Nat began writin’ songs and playin’ shows in and around London.   Three years later, they moved to America.    To me they did the dayumm thang!.     

The Talkin’  Headz say that Nat was  replaced with somebody name Amanda Diva,  for tours in 2007, and then ~Floetry  just faded off into the sunset.    :-(    

 Marsha  later signed as a solo artist to Dr. Dre’s  Aftermath Entertainment.     Heard nothin’ new of Nat…but she’s on MySpace with some coo-ass shy.   ”She Luv ♦Like…”   is off the deep end… 

I’m tellin’ U~~~ 

I’m “addin’ as a friend” as we speak!~♦ 

That’s all I know… 

“Floetic” (the CD this song is on!) went Gold,  and is still the  “gol-darn”  shyt, part’ na!~ 

 

::I dare you to say it isnt!::

Bangin’ Online?

Ole-skool crime meets new technology.  Gang members in NY are using Twitter to organize street fights and other shady dealin’s. 

One investigator recently warned that the fortification of OMG and LOL has been infiltrated by violent crews waging turf wars. Investigators did a basic search for OYG ( Original Young Gangsters, a crew started on Twitter!) or Jeff Mobb, a gang based in the Jefferson Houses in East Harlem, and found this exchange: “I knoe bitches from oyg that would dead mob yah s–t in harlem,” (one girl wrote in a series of tweets tryin to call out a rival for a fight.)

Twitter helped volunteers at a local outreach center stop a street war, after they saw the Get Money Boys, based in the St. Nicholas Houses on W. 127 St., NY, exchanging threats with Goodfellas and The New Dons, based just a few blocks north. “They were threatening to go and hurt two people,” said the director,who sent staff out to find the tweeters.

Police are on it tho.  Story I read says that, thru monitorin’ Twitter (and Myspace!), they have managed to head off a few incidents that could have been major, and continue to beef up their own technolgy and awareness about whats happenin’ on these sites.   Task forces are using the social networking sites as a crime-fightin’ tool.   Sorta like they did with the perverted child molestors (I guess these will end up as episodes of Cops eventually…)

Lawd.  They gang-bangin’ online now.  What is the world really comin’ to?
