Kwame Kilpatrick

Kwame Kilpatrick regained his freedom early Tuesday morning, emerging from jail after a 99-day sentence and stepping back onto the streets of the city he once ruled as mayor The 38-year-old Kilpatrick, about 25 pounds lighter than when he entered jail at the end of October, left the downtown Detroit facility wearing a dark suit just after 12:30 a.m.

Flanked by a number of men, several dressed in fedoras and long coats, Kilpatrick then was rushed to a waiting blue Chevrolet Suburban. The Democrat waved from behind tinted windows as he was whisked away as part of a multi-vehicle caravan Kilpatrick made no statements to the media during his release, upon the orders of new defense attorney Willie E. Gary.

It's been more than a year since a text-messaging sex scandal started the long process that ended in Kilpatrick's arrest, plea, jailing and release. Now, the man who quickly rose from a state representative to mayor of a city of 900,000 people simply is looking for work Kilpatrick was expected to meet with state probation officials before heading to a job interview Wednesday with an unnamed company at an undisclosed location in Texas.

Jennifer Hudson Lip Sync

Jennifer Hudson Lip Sync used the Super Bowl stage for two very different performances Sunday night: he proved he's still The Boss with an electric halftime show, while Hudson showed she's ready to return to the spotlight after the slayings of three family members Springsteen and his E Street Band had turned down numerous invitations to play the halftime show.


Springsteen then threw himself into his four-song set, a highly anticipated series of songs that had Las Vegas oddsmakers taking bets on which tunes he'd select. He opened with "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out," and worked in one of his trademark across-the-stage knee slides The move wasn't without risk: He slid into one of the on-stage cameras, and seemed to be winded when he transitioned into "Born to Run.

Next up was his newest piece, "Working on a Dream," which was backed by a choir. He then closed out with a playful version of "Glory Days" that fittingly altered the lyrics to fit the occasion: Springsteen's old high school buddy was "a big football player" instead of "baseball," and threw a "Hail Mary" instead of a "speed ball the crowd as the show came to an end, looking at their watches as the clock wound down.

Mike Phelps

Mike Phelps screwed up In the adult world it happens and the screwer upper is the one responsible for his or her actions. I think Mike took the first big step in taking responsibility for his actions by admitting that it was in fact him. Now, everyone needs to back off of the negative media coverage and give him a chance to make his redemption.


Mikes face never has to be shown on this one. A beach shot. Pan in to a hand stuffing a pipe (in a concealed manner) into a pocket on a pair of Brumada shorts. Pan in to the same thing on a few different bathing suits. Pan into the same thing on a man (with Mikes body) attempting to do the same thing and then tossing it in a trash can. The logo…. No room for misguidance… or something.

Michael Phelps admitted the pictures of him hitting a bong were real. And he may loose his contracts because of his poor judgment. And right now in this date and time I think that is the impediment of wrong for Corporate America to threaten an American Icon. Yes he was wrong. Yes he used VERY bad judgment.
