Do you remember the “underwear bomber”? On Christmas Day in 2009, he tried to set off a bomb moments before his Amsterdam to Detroit flight landed. Where did he hide the bomb? In his underwear. Luckily, the bomb malfunctioned and brave passengers held onto him until authorities came to take him away. This attempted bombing is one of the major reasons why full-body scanners are being installed in airports across the country.

The “underwear bomber” was sentenced to life in prison on Thursday. We’re glad that no one was harmed in his attempted attack, and that justice was served. But we just have to say – he hid the bomb in his underwear? Ouch! Your bra can be a decent hiding place for some things, like money. But overall, your undergarments are not a great place to store things. Here’s our list of 8 more things we don’t suggest ever hiding in your underwear.

Shizz went down this week: Biebs has a tat, Miley is still a bird, and George Lopez cheated on his wife (the same wife who GAVE HIM HER KIDNEY) with some hookers. You know, just another week.  Anyway, while it pains me that I know so much about the lives of these people, I’m happy to report the deets for all of you. I really am a martyr. You’re welcome.

Golden Nuggets of Information

1. Lindsay Lohan has a warrant out for her arrest with a bail set for $100,000! Lindsay was supposed to appear in court this week, but instead she went to Cannes to promote her new film Deep Throat, which hasn’t even been approved yet. When it was time for her to fly home, her passport was “stolen” but the police have no record of her reporting it stolen! Lindsay sent out an email asking friends for a private jet to get her back to L.A. so she wouldn’t miss her court date, but there was no such luck. (She shoulda called Doug Reinhardt, right?) So when she gets back to the States, she’ll be in the slammer. So….that’s 1 Lohan in jail, 3 to go?

2. Bret Michaels is back in the hospital! Boo, this is bad news! Bret was experiencing numbness in the left side of his body, and doctors found a hole in his heart. The condition is treatable, but he needs to take it easy. Bret is trying to get back to his career and wants to appear on the finale of Celebrity Apprentice, however especially after his recent brain hemorrhage, homeboy needs to rest. Get on that Rock of Love bus better soon, Bret!

3. Matt Lauer and his wife, Annette, are not getting divorced despite last week’s reports that Matt was cheating. He says he did not move out, and Annette also denied the allegations. I hoped this story wasn’t true from the beginning, so I’m glad these two are trying to move past the tabloid headlines.

4. John Travolta and Kelly Preston are expecting! This is so great for them, especially after the loss of their son, Jett, last year. And the couples’ two dogs were just killed this week in a freak accident at an airport in Maine. They need some good energy in their life right now, so yay!

5. Megan Fox won’t be in Transformers 3. She claims she walked, but reps for the movie are saying she was fired. Who’s telling the truth? My bet’s on Michael Bay. They want Shia to have another love interest (pick me!) in the film, which is code for you shouldn’t say that your director was like Hitler.

Bronze Pebbles of Info

1. Jesse James is whining as he goes to court for a conflict with a clothing company. He’s asking that they leave out any evidence relating to his sex life, Sandra Bullock, etc. Dude, those things reflect your character. Get over it.

2. Amanda “Minge” Seyfried and Dominic Cooper are reportedly on a break, and he was seen partying with Lindsay Lohan in Cannes. Get back together, I beg you. But first, Dominic, get an STD test. Who knows what Lindsay’s carrying around these days?

3. Scarlett Johansson’s mom, Melanie Sloan, adopted a baby girl named Fenan from Ethiopia! How cute is that?

4. James Franco is returning to General Hospital. Hooray! I don’t know if he can’t get other work, but I will watch anything that he’s on.

5. Weekly Hotness: Jennifer Aniston looks AH-MAY-ZING in a new Smart Water ad. Brad Pitt, go kick yourself now.

How can you put Hallie and Annie in Jail?

Well, Lindsay Lohan is at it again… or is she?  Following her DUI in August 2007, Lohan was ordered to attend alcohol education classes weekly.  Now, in violation of her probation, it is reported that she has been attending every 21 days instead.  A court hearing set for May 20 will determine if she will have to serve jail time because of the violation.  The sad part is: this time, she didn’t actually do anything.  Of course failing to adhere to court orders is cause for punishment, but does Lilo really deserve to be put behind bars because of infrequent attendance?  After endless drama with her father and everything headed her way, I actually feel bad for her.  We all remember the adorable little red-head in “The Parent Trap” who was talented enough to play the roles of both Hallie and Annie, imitating an English accent only half of the time.  She really was a talented actress and showed so much potential.  Even in later years, her roles in “Freaky Friday” and “Mean Girls” were well portrayed.  She had proven herself different from other talent-less Hollywood cokeheads; she really had a lot going for her.  Obviously experimentation with drugs and alcohol was her choice, but it is impossible to know the kind of pressure celebrities like Lindsay face while in the spotlight all of the time.  At this point, the media looks for excuses to push her even further down into a whole.  Only the hearing can decide her fate, but hopefully she will be shown some slack and the chance to make positive changes in her life.

A 14-year-old New Jersey girl was arrested after posting nude pictures of herself on her Myspace profile in an attempt to tease her boyfriend. The charge? Distributing child pornography.

Three Pennsylvania teens face similar charges after sending some seriously dirty texts.

Yikes! I’ve been known to send what I suppose some could classify as a dirty text every now and then, and while it’s not illegal being I am an adult who can do whatever she pleases with her unlimited text plan, I can’t help but sympathize with these girls.

We all make stupid decisions when we’re in love…or lust.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children claims to have “seen a rise in cases of teenagers who, because of severe bad judgment or downright stupidity, place semi-nude or nude photos of themselves on the web or send racy cell phone pictures of themselves to friends.” I agree that this was really, really bad judgment (I mean, these girls do know that texts can be forwarded, right?), but is jail time really going to help them understand where they went wrong?

We’ve all made some pretty stupid decisions growing up. One instance at summer camp in 5th grade comes to mind. Let’s just say it involved a phone-sex hot line, a pay phone and a very serious game of truth or dare gone awry. Thank god our parents were called instead of the police, or I’d be in a hell of a lot more trouble than having my allowance taken away.

Even as adults we continue to make poor decisions (every weekend) and pray to god they don’t catch up with us. Binge drinking, hooking up with strangers, meeting people off the internet… and then posting all the incriminating photos on Facebook. Photos that automatically get shared with far more people than a simple text.

Photos that can easily come back to haunt us…

The point is, there are plenty of ways to punish someone (like letting the situation pan out and letting embarassment set in) and jail time seems a bit too harsh for a little adolescent naivety. Do you really think a 14-year-old girl who sends a naughty pic of herself to her super-serious middle school BF deserves the same fate as T.I.?

And, let’s be honest for a moment here, isn’t music by Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers punishment enough for today’s youth? I’m just sayin’…

What do you think? Should we punish kids for stupidity?

We thought it was only appropriate, then, to honor these fallen celebrities. For without them we would never know the repercussions of driving drunk, grabbing the breast of an underage girl, or buying and selling drugs from the back of a limo. These celebrities have taken the fall so we don’t have to. It’s as if they are channeling Jesus and sacrificing themselves for our sins.

Ok, maybe not. But their mugshot pictures are pretty badass.

There is really nothing better than seeing an ultra glamorous superstar looking like a hot mess at the police station. Especially when that superstar is strung out on some really strong sh*t. So, we took it upon ourselves to pull our Top 10 Celebrity Mugshots together for your amusement. Scroll through, enjoy, and practice your voting skills for this year’s election by choosing your favorite to win the 2008 CollegeCandy Mugshot of the Year award. (There is really no prize, award ceremony, or thank-you speech, but we still want to know which hot tranny mess is your favorite.)

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

To give you a little background, it all started in 2002 when music critic Jim DeRogatis was given a video by a currently unnamed source featuring what appeared to be R. Kelly giving an allegedly underage girl money, then getting a BJ from her, having sex with her, and pissing on her. DeRogatis broke the story in the Chicago Sun-Times, and shortly thereafter R. Kelly was charged with soliciting a minor for child pornography, seven counts of videotaping the acts, and seven counts of producing child pornography. Now, six years after the initial indictment, the trial has begun and it’s like the sexy remix of the O.J. Simpson trial.

Proceedings began in late May with a viewing of the tape so the jurors could see exactly what they’re working with. What they saw was a half hour long video featuring a man that looks a hell of a lot like R. Kelly and a girl that looks a hell of a lot like the alleged victim doing things that are definitely not legal for a 31-year-old man and a 14-year-old girl to do together. However, both Kelly and the girl claim that the individuals in the video are not them, and the defense’s major claim is that the tape is part of an elaborate scheme by the girl’s family to extort money from the singer.

The interesting thing about this claim is that not all of the members of the victim’s family can agree that the girl on the tape is her. While Shonna, Leroy, and Charlotte Edwards (uncle, cousin, and aunt, respectively) deny that the girl on the tape is the alleged victim, four other relatives, including Stephanie “Sparkle” Edwards, a former protégé of Kelly’s, say that their relative and the girl on the tape are most certainly one in the same. This allegation is also backed up by the girl’s former BFF Simha Jamison (who, BTW, said she recognized the girl on the video by her mullet haircut) and by Lisa Van Allen, who claims that she was involved in numerous videotaped threesomes with Kelly and the victim.

Kelly’s former assistant Lindsay Perryman also identified the alleged victim as the girl in the video, and the man as her employer. She said she recognized the girl from back in the day when she would hang out at the studio after school doing her homework and babysitting the singer’s children.

And then there’s the mole.

In a few scenes, a large mole can be seen on the lower back of the man in the video – police photos of Kelly’s naked torso reveal that he has a mole on his back in the same location. While this would seem to be pretty cut and dry evidence that the man in the video is Kelly, the defense retaliated by having a forensic video expert come in and break the film down frame by frame, showing that sometimes the mole is there, and then other times it isn’t. The expert contested that the mole isn’t a mole at all, but rather an “artifact” from poor lighting and recording equipment.

Not convinced yet that the trial is a total madhouse? Have I mentioned that the alleged victim is Kelly’s guitarist’s daughter and the singer’s goddaughter? Or that a fan broke in to the courthouse to scream “Free R. Kelly!” at the jurors? Or that one of Kelly’s lawyers actually referenced the movie magic of the Wayans brother’s Little Man when talking about how the film footage could be doctored? If you haven’t been keeping track of this story, I suggest you start. It’s enough to make you think twice about your would-be amateur porn videos. And love for R. Kelly. And, of course, pissing on kids.

Well, Nick Hogan is saying otherwise.

What? He’s trying to tell us that jail is like…bad?!

According to a report in Page Six:

“‘Nick’s doing really bad. He’s struggling to even form a sentence,’ one friend said. ‘They have him in a cell by himself, isolated from the general population, because of threats. He didn’t understand how awful jail really is until now.’”

So there you have it; jail sucks. Well, now I guess Nick will know for the next time he decides to race his Toyota Supra while drunk, leaving his friend in a permanent coma. And shouldn’t he be thrilled he’s in a cell by himself, isolated from the other inmates? I’d count myself lucky to be roommate-less and alone in jail. It could be so, so much worse.

Dude, your friend is in a coma forever because of YOU. You’re in jail for a measly 8 months and you have the nerve to complain about it? Maybe you should take this time to quietly meditate on what you did and stop acting like you’re too good for jail. You destroyed a life and in 8 months, you’ll have your own charmed one back.

I think you’re pretty damn lucky.
