A prominent priest busted with cocaine? That's just what happened this week when an Aymara priest was arrested with a huge amount of the drug, right after he was in the news for giving a ceremonial blessing to the Bolivian President Morales.

The drug enforcement authorities in Bolivia busted the priest with a shocking 530 pounds of the illegal and highly addictive drug that sends countless people to drug rehab. The priest claims he was tricked by some Colombians who were also arrested with him, and did not realize the drugs were present around him.

The cocaine was in the liquid form of the drug, as it often is when being transported. Said the Vice President: "He was a person who moved within the Andean religious structure. Whether he's a priest or not, if he's committed a crime, he won't get any kind of protection when he faces justice."

The stash of liquid cocaine seized in the raid was valued at $240,000. Mejillones told local media he had been tricked by the Colombians..

Is George Clooney's girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis in trouble for using cocaine? That may be the situation as another model is testifying that she say Canalis using the drug in 2007 at a nightclub in Italy.

This news came out as part of an investigation into the nightclub in Milan where Canalis and fellow models were allegedly hanging out. The other model testified as part of police efforts to find out what goes on at this club. There are no reports of Canalis suffering from drug addiction or spending time in a drug rehabilitation clinic. Drug treatment is something that is needed by many people, and many celebrities do it commonly, but there is no indication that anyone in this story has a serious problem with the drug.

Up until now, Elisabetta Canalis has been known as the gorgeous woman on the arm of George Clooney for the past year. But the Italian beauty suddenly finds herself in the news for other, far more sordid reasons: a fellow model (turned prostitute) claims she saw Canalis snort a couple lines of cocaine at a Milan nightclub in 2007. Referring to a 2007 incident at The Club, an establishment under investigation for allowing drugs and sex, Karima Menad told prosecutors two years ago: "I remember taking cocaine with Elisabetta Canalis and two others."

Al Gore continues to face heat for his alleged groping of a masseuse, but after being questioned will he now still face charges?

The former Vice President, who simultaneously both won and lost the election in 2000, has been accused of groping a masseuse that he got a massage from, but after the questioning he faced this week, he will reportedly be cleared of criminal charges.

Said a spokesperson "Mr. Gore unequivocally and emphatically denied this accusation when he first learned of its existence three years ago. He respects and appreciates the thorough and professional work of the Portland authorities and is pleased that this matter has now been resolved."

Former Vice President Al Gore was cleared Friday of allegations he groped and assaulted a masseuse in a luxury Portland hotel room in 2006, closing a case that could have tarnished the Nobel prize winner's reputation. After a four-week investigation that included interviews with Gore, masseuse Molly Hagerty, her acquaintances and hotel staff, as well as testing a pair of stained pants belonging to Hagerty, Multnomah County District Attorney Michael Schrunk said Friday there was no basis for prosecution.

Snooki spends a lot of time on camera as part of MTV's smash hit Jersey Shore, but here's one shot she'd probably rather have avoided: Snooki's mug shot after fetting arrested last week!

Nicole Polizzi aka Snooki was arrested for disorderly conduct, and as her lawyers try to get her out of this latest batch of legal trouble, her mug shot was leaked out by TMZ, and shows her looking rather frazzled and out of sorts. Apparently her arrest came after getting overly intoxicated in the daytime, and making a public display of drunkenness. There is no word yet on whether she is ready to get counseling or treatment for alcohol addiction., but binge drinking is certainly a serious matter that shouldn't be taken as a joke, even if it makes for good television.

As seen in the video below, an American man is now shackled in Panama after admitting to five murders, in a plot to take over the victims' businesses and property.

The death of the American and Panamanian citizens was said to be inspired by William Holbert's desire to worm his way into their business ventures and real estate holdings, as each of them had some involvement with tourist destinations and hostels. He befriended his victims by posing as an potential investor into their business ventures, before allegedly murdering them.

Holbert and his wife both face possible charges, and Holbert having admitted to the killings is sure to face very serious charges as he and his wife seek legal representation in Panama.

A jailed U.S. man has admitted killing five other Americans so he could take over their businesses and other properties in a Panamanian resort area, a government prosecutor said Saturday. The man's wife refused to talk with investigators and asked for legal assistance from the U.S. Embassy, the official said. The embassy was closed Saturday and U.S. officials could not be located for comment. The couple, William Dathan Holbert and Laura Michelle Reese, were arrested earlier this week when they tried to enter Nicaragua from Costa Rica.

Even though she died years ago, the death of Anna Nicole Smith is still causing controversy, as trail is about to begin for the doctors and attorney who are said to have mistreated Anna Nicole in the days leading up to her tragic death of a drug overdose.

The two doctors and attorney boyfriendare both facing charges as the trial starts up this month, but each deny any wrong doing, with one of the two doctors insisting he is only being persecuted for being Aisan and homosexual. He is accused of misusing is powers as a medical doctor to provide treatment that was not in the best interest of Ms. Smith. The allegation is that they illegally prescribed opiates and sedatives to the patient Anna Nicole, who tried drug rehabilitation programs to get over her addiction but sadly did not get to overcome her problems.

Attorneys were setting the stage for the trial of two doctors and the attorney boyfriend of the late Anna Nicole Smith, arguing about what evidence will be allowed in court. In a hearing Friday, defense attorneys plan to oppose the use of photos of Smith and her psychiatrist nude in a hot tub and a controversial video of Smith in clown face makeup. Prosecutors say she appears to be drugged. Other motions include prosecutors' opposition to one doctor's claim that he is being prosecuted because he is gay and East Indian.

For centuries scientists, religious figures and regular folks have all wondered about the missing link in the evolutionary chain between apes and humans. But now for the first time in decades there is a new link, that scientists believe may solve the mystery of how we evolved.

The find was in the cradle of civilization, South Africa, where a 9 year old boy fossil was found, whose bones are said to be over two million years old! He is very well preserved and expected to provide a great deal of scientific insight into how mankind evolved.

Said one scientist about the South African site: "There's probably nowhere else on planet Earth that has a denser, better record of human origins than this land right here," See the link below for a video with more on this big news.

Where do we come from? That's often the first question a child asks and it has bedevilled scientists for centuries. Well, today we're a little bit closer to answering it. This past Thursday it was announced - with great fanfare - that the remains of a nine-year-old boy were found in South Africa. He is almost two million years old. He's being called "Sediba," which means "source," and he stands somewhere on the road between ape and human.... He belongs to a previously unidentified species and anthropologists will be studying him for decades.

Rob Lowe has parlayed his late-season appearance on "Parks & Recreation" into a full-time gig.

But Lowe has carved out a late-career niche playing smarmy corporate pricks to perfection, "Parks & Rec" has done a remarkable job of rebooting itself after a miserable first season and the news comes via the Twitter feed of writer Michael Schur, aka Ken Tremendous, former founding contributory of Fire Joe Morgan, which still stands as one of the greatest blogs in the medium's brief history.

A controversial decision from the Senate this week, as they decided to double the penalty for making pot brownies, compared to regular marijuana.

Dianne Feinstein's Saving Kids from Dangerous Drugs Act of 2009 was passed unanimously, under the dubious logic that marijuana edibles pose a greater threat to children. The edibles are commonly used by those who seek marijuana for its medicinal purposes, as it is widely believed to help with glaucoma, chronic pain, stress and many other ailments and conditions.

Many are strongly criticizing the bill, including the foredoglake blog who said: "More people are arrested for marijuana possession than any violent crime combined. Blacks and Latinos are unfairly targeted with marijuana arrests; while whites make up a third of marijuana users, relatively few are in prison..." and these laws just add to those disparities.

Last night the United States Senate voted to double the penalties for the nation's newest existential threat: brownies made with marijuana! The Senate unanimously passed Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)'s "Saving Kids from Dangerous Drugs Act of 2009″ (S. 258) that targets pot brownies and other marijuana edibles preferred by some medical marijuana patients. The bill next moves to the House; if it passes that chamber, anyone making pot brownies or similar products could be subject to double the fines and jail time for regular marijuana.

Ever heard of an underwater river? That's what scientists in Britain say they have discovered, with the find of an undersea river that even has its own waterfalls and roaring rapids.

The river is made of denser saltier water than the rest of the sea it is in, and thus can cut through the water as a regular river would on land. According to one scientist, "The water in the channels is denser than the surrounding seawater because it has higher salinity and is carrying so much sediment. It flows down the sea shelf and out into the abyssal plain much like a river on land,"

The salt water river flows from the Bosphorus, which I got to visit once on a trip to Istanbul., a beautiful body of water that puts the Hudson river to shame, for sure.

Undersea River Discovered

Researchers say they've discovered an underwater river flowing along the bottom of the Black Sea, complete with rapids and waterfalls. British scientists say if found on land it would be the sixth largest river in the world in terms of the amount of water flowing through it, the Daily Telegraph reported Saturday. The river of highly salty water flows along a deep channel at the bottom of the Black Sea, creating riverbanks and flood plains much like a river found on land, researchers from the University of Leeds said.

Are you ready to see Steve Carell and Sandra Bullock together? If so, scroll down and behold for yourself, as they both step in to star in The Abstinence teacher.

Both are well qualified to teach about abstinence, after Bullock saw her husband's sex life go so horribly wrong, and Carell found fame as the 40-year-old Virgin. Bullock is more beloved than ever coming off of her Oscar victory for the Blind Side movie, and also won sympathy for the marriage troubles and divorce settlement she had to deal with after her husband cheated on her.

The new Abstinence Teacher movie is by the producers of Little Miss Sunshine, and will take a comical take on Abstinence and sex ed as it explores the life of a modern family.

A third baby for the legendary pregnant man? That's the latest news from Thomas Beatie, who made news last year as the "pregnant man" and is now set to have baby #3, according to a new report.

Beatie was born female, but went through ten years of sex reassignment therapy to complete a sex change. He had a successful childbirth in 2008 and another in 2009. And is now building a happy family even if its not a traditional one. More power to him, I say!

Hopefully more transgender Americans can follow the same path, and have proper health insurance and medical care to cover it just as everyone else does.

Bad news for all the Star Wars fans out there? According to the director George Lucas, the anticipated Stars TV show may be on hold, possibly forever!

Lucas has been planning for years to do a live action version of Star Wars on TV, that told the story of what went on between the first trilogy and the second one, basically everything that happened between when Luke Skywalker was born and when we met him in the original Star Wars.

But now Lucas says they may not be able to pull off the show with the money available for such a TV show: "The live action TV show is kind of on hold because we have scripts, but we don't know how to do them. They literally are Star Wars, only we're going to have to try to do them at a tenth the cost. And it's a huge challenge, a lot bigger than what we thought it was gonna be."

How much does it cost to die? The answer might shock you, as seen in the 60 Minutes segment last night that showed how Medicare is paying huge amounts of money for the last moments of people's lives.

The medical care and treatment provided to Americans in the last two months of their lives amounted to a whopping $55 billion in doctor and hospital bills paid be Medicare.

Said one expert, "This is the way so many Americans die. Something like 18 to 20 percent of Americans spend their last days in an ICU. And, you know, it's extremely expensive. It's uncomfortable. Many times they have to be sedated so that they don't reflexively pull out a tube, or sometimes their hands are restrained. This has become almost the medical last rites for people as they die."

$50 Billion Last Year, 8/8/2010 (60 Minutes Shocker)
cbs

Every medical study ever conducted has concluded that 100 percent of all Americans will eventually die. This comes as no great surprise, but the amount of money being spent at the very end of people's lives probably will. Last year, Medicare paid $55 billion just for doctor and hospital bills during the last two months of patients' lives. That's more than the budget for the Department of Homeland Security, or the Department of Education. And it has been estimated that 20 to 30 percent of these medical expenses may have had no meaningful impact. Most of the bills are paid for by the federal government with few or no questions asked.

I have been to visit Istanbul, Turkey as a tourist destiination and was impressed by how welcoming it was, and how friendly and relatable the Muslim country was, but fot the biggest remaining Christian church their patriarch says its not all cake and roses there.

According to the report, "Because we are here before this country becomes a Muslim country, much earlier. Since ever. Since the very beginning," the patriarch explained. Asked since the beginning of what, Patriarch Bartholomew said, "Of the foundation of our church, of the Church of Constantinople."

Would it surprise you to learn that one of the world's most important Christian leaders, second only to the pope, lives in a country where 99 percent of the population is Muslim? His name is Bartholomew, and he is the patriarch of 300 million Orthodox Christians. He lives in Istanbul, Turkey, the latest in a line of patriarchs who have resided there since before there was a Turkey, since the centuries following the death of Jesus Christ. That's when Istanbul was called Constantinople and was the most important city in the Christian world.

Of all things to happen in Las Vegas, who would believe this? A new movement in the town where anything goes is singling out hula hoops as a public menace that needs to be banned.

The tourist destination known for its casinos, resort hotels and many concerts and other attractions (as well as legalized escorts), has decided that the epidemic hula hoop usage in the Fremont Street Experience area has begun to disrupt traffic and cause a public nuisance.

Said one local, "The argument they use is that free speech is bad for business and we need to protect business. The courts have repeatedly said that while business is important, it cannot trump constitutional rights. I don't know how much clearer they can make it."

This is a city where tourists are welcome to wander certain streets with open bottles of alcohol, where the phone books contain hundreds of color page ads for "escorts" and where gambling is so ubiquitous that slot machines appear in most 7-Elevens. Yet the Las Vegas City Council is now zeroing in on halting a new public menace: Hula-Hoops. OK, not all Hula-Hooping. Specifically, city leaders later this month may ban the use of the usually plastic, hip-gyrating equipment on a five-block pedestrian mall known as the Fremont Street Experience in the city's downtown core because, they argue, their use obstructs traffic flow and causes public disruptions.

As girls in America enter puberty more early than ever, concerns are rising about the health issues that come with it, including what might be an increased risk of breast cancer.

This earlier puberty can make girls develop health problems that require medical treatment from the doctor later in life. It is causing girls to grow breasts as early as 7 or 8, increasing the risk of breast cancer and endometrial cancer.

According to the New York Times, "Studies suggest that earlier puberty, as measured by the age at first menstruation, can slightly increase the risk of breast cancer, probably because it results in longer lifetime exposure to the hormones estrogen and progesterone, which can feed some tumors."

Early Puberty, Breast Cancer Link?
health.usnews

New evidence suggests that girls really are growing up too quickly. American girls are hitting puberty earlier than ever, developing breasts at ages 7 or 8 instead of the traditional 10 or 11 years old. That's worrisome because early puberty has been linked to an increased risk of breast and endometrial cancer, as well as a greater tendency toward low self-esteem and poor body image, according to a report published Monday in Pediatrics. Researchers at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center examined more than 1,200 girls and found that 15 percent showed signs of breast development at age 7.

One of the top-searched stories today involves Steven Slater, the JetBlue flight attendant who caused a stir on his last flight.

An altercation ensued, Slater was injured, and then he basically lost it. The JetBlue employee let loose an expletive-rich tirade on the intercom, then made a dramatic exit down the emergency chute, beer in hand. Voila! Instant folk hero. So what other quitting stories have gone viral in the past? I found 5 that might just inspire others to do the same:

As Pakistan recovers from a huge natural disaster, a flood that wiped out vast sections of the country leaving countless people dead and homeless, Angelina Jolie is one of the public figures leading the charge to get humanitarian aid to the country.

A stunning 20 million people have been displaced by the flooding, and so much real estate will have to be rebuilt, it will surely take decades to recover and millions and millions of dollars.

Jolie is urging people to remember Pakistan in the months and years to come, as they need to for Haiti and other places that are in the long term stages of recovery from a disaster. Angelina Jolie is one of the biggest movie stars, and with her husband Brad Pitt is also on the cutting edge of humanitarian and activist work among celebrities.

Jolie: "vital that people help Pakistan's flood victims and not surrender to compassion fatigue"
usatoday

Angelina Jolie says it's vital that people help Pakistan's flood victims and not surrender to compassion fatigue. The floods have displaced 20 million people, but donations are below those for catastrophes like the Haitian earthquake or the Asian tsunami. Jolie said she understood that "it is getting hard for people -- they see Haiti, they see these other events ... and they get exhausted by the time another big one rolls around." But she said Pakistanis face "mass death, mass displacement, and this situation is going to get worse." Jolie has visited Haiti, Iraq and other countries as a U.N. goodwill ambassador.

Many people were excited to hear that Angelina Jolie was reportedly playing Marilyn Monroe in an upcoming movie, but it turns out the fans have been bamboozled.

The LA Times has the official word that Jolie will not be playing the legendary Monroe in a new movie that is based on a biography of Marilyn's dog. She had reportedly beat out Scarlett Johannson and Christina Hendricks from Mad Men, who seems like a perfect choice if this ever does really happen.

Angelina Jolie will NOT (will?) play Marilyn Monroe

Well, it seems sort of obvious when you put it that way. The LA Times' Ministry of Gossip has confirmed that Angelina Jolie is not attached to star as Marilyn Monroe in the adaptation of author Andrew O'Hagan's novel The Life And Opinions Of Maf The Dog, And Of His Friend Marilyn Monroe. The Daily Mail reported that O'Hagan (Be Near Me) had recently revealed that Jolie had beat out Scarlett Johansson and Christina Hendricks for the role. His novel, well-received in the UK and hitting US shelves in December, is told from the perspective of Marilyn's beloved pet Mafia Honey (Maf for short), a gift from Frank Sinatra in 1960.

A man in Florida was arrested and jailed this week, for adding his ex-wife on Facebook!

The man had been in a not so healthy relationship with his wife, apparently, leading to divorce lawyers setting up a contentious split that ultimately included the wife getting a restraining order.

Nowadays restraining orders naturally have to adjust to new technology, and can include contact through social media. Pretty ridiculous for him to make the request, really, but I bet he didn't think he'd wind up in jail for it! Next time you should respect her boundaries.

Jailed for Facebook Friend Request!
sfgate

There is maybe - maybe - one person in my life I never really want to hear from again. OK, maybe two. If either of these people were to contact me I'd probably blog about it delete their voicemail/e-mail/Facebook friend request and move on. That's not the case for a Florida woman who filed charges against her ex-husband after he asked to be her "friend" on Facebook. Why the strong reaction? She had a restraining order against the man and, in her eyes, no contact including any and all social networking.

Jailed for Facebook Friend Request!

As seen in the mugshot linked below, a plumber named Harry Bruder has been arrested in Florida, for the crime of sending a friend request to his ex-wife on Facebook!

Harry Bruder's relationship with his wife took some bad turns, leading to divorce lawyers setting up a divorce, AND then the wife getting a restraining order. So since restraining orders nowadays also have to include social media, he was violating the order by violating her space on Facebook. He also even admitted to changing her Yahoo! email password.

After hearing of the counseling sessions he now has to attend, and the other punishment he faces, Bruder posted on his own Facebook "today my future x wife thinks she won but the real winner is me for i know the truth she is nothing but a lying emotionally disturbed woman who needs help to handle previous abusive relationship."

Harry Bruder, Plumber: Facebook Bandit!

When Carole Bruder filed a restraining order against her estranged husband Harry, she had every reason to believe that her soon-to-be ex-hubby would never dare contact her again. Apparently, though, Harry didn't think that Facebook friend requests fell under the legal definition of "contact." According to a Pasco County Sheriff's Office report obtained by the Smoking Gun, the 54-year-old plumber from Florida has admitted to contacting his wife twice on Facebook within the past month -- a clear violation, investigators argue, of a court-ordered domestic violence injunction that bars him from making contact.

For years hoarding was a secret shame, a destructive and addictive habit that plagued many Americans but was rarely talked about. Now though, with reality TV shows and websites shedding light on it, obsessive hoarding seems to be going mainstream?

People used to think that these citizens who suffer through insanely cluttered existences were just lazy or something, but now more knowledge is being spread, and hopefully it means more people seeking therapy, counseling and treatment for this psychological problem.

Said one expert, "The general public thinks these people are just slobs or lazy, but actually most of the time it's because . . . of not wanting to waste things, and so wanting to make the right decision about a thing that it becomes overwhelming and they keep it."

Obsessive Hoarding, Mainstream Now?

Extreme hoarding behavior (when people obsessively accumulate things) has often been thought of as a sub-set of symptoms for obsessive-compulsive disorder. However, there has been increased discussion about hoarding being a mental disorder all its own. The Boston Globe recently had the best mainstream press article on the topic that I have ever read, touching the roots of the problem, associated personality traits, and current treatment.

Lindsay Lohan is getting lucky once again, as she is reportedly ready to get released from rehab even earlier than expected.

The troubled actress recently served a much shorter prison term than expected, for troubles that arose from her alleged alcohol and substance abuse problems, and now it looks like she will serve less than expected in the rehab as well.

As much as we love celebrity drama from Hollywood, some of the best stories come from celebs who have stayed together for years and years, without even getting married!

As we see start after star spending millions on divorce lawyers, family counseling, child support payments and prenuptial agreements, many couples who never tied the knot at all have continued to have happy and strong ties with each other.

The most famous of all, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, sadly did break up recently after over 20 years, but there are still many others who never bought that engagement ring but still stay together, like Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell.

So going through the slideshow, I did a little lexical inventory of what the baby mama/baby daddy get called and find it interesting that there's a difference, even though I can't figure out who gets to be called what. It's either "boyfriend/girlfriend" (for example, Halle Berry's, Matthew McConaughey's, Jamie Lynn Spears', Alba's, Nicole Richie's) or "longtime boyfriend/girlfriend" (Mark Wahlberg's). Only the Tim Robbins/Susan Sarandon industrial complex is referred to in terms of "partner."Brad and Angelina get to be called "a couple." Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher are spared the girlfriend/boyfriend tag, too, either because they're both actors or because, as their slide indicates, he proposed to her years ago. Any unmarried couples out there want to chime in with terminological ideas for the celebrity press?

Blame it on the A-a-a-a-a-adderall?

Sources close to Lindsay Lohan are reporting that thedrug Adderall may be causing a lot of her recent troubles, after she was mistakenly diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

The troubled actress recently served jail time for troubles that arose from her alleged alcohol and substance abuse problems, and now new reports suggest Adderall may be at the root of these problems.

Adderall is a prescription medication for ADHD, a drug that is also used by many young people to aid them with studying and concentration, and misused very often with negative effects on mental health.

Lindsay Lohan Adderall Shocker?

Lindsay Lohan's Adderall addiction has been well documented at this point, but it may all be the result of a medical misdiagnosis and largely responsible for her increasingly erratic behavior over the past several months (or years). Doctors at UCLA Medical Center, where she is currently in rehab, believe Lindsay was misdiagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). At some point, Lohan was given Adderall to treat the affliction, which experts such as Dr. Joe Haraszti, an L.A. addiction specialist, say she doesn't have. According to Haraszti, people who take Adderall when they don't actually need it can experience severe side effects - similar to using cocaine or meth.

As Mel Gibson struggles to recover from the disastrous wreckage of his relationship with his baby's mother, new details have emerged about their negotiations for a child support agreement.

According to sources, Gibson hopes that he will be paying 6k a month in child support, in the agreement he has reached with Oksana Grigorieva, who has made Gibson's reputation plummet with the leak of tapes she recorded, that show him hatefully abusing her with many shocking epithets.

For someone who makes as much money as Gibson, the $6,000 is taken by many as a shockingly low figure, and one that may be hotly contested by divorce lawyers, It remains to be seen whether this will stand up in court.

According to RadarOnline.com, Mel's lawyers insist some of Oksana's requests - such as he pays for bodyguards - are unnecessary as Lucia is still just a baby. In contrast, they argue the money he spends on himself is necessary for his living expenses and doesn't include luxuries such as his private jet.
