Levi must pay child support to Bristol Palin

It's amazing how one election can separate you from Alaska's first family and 'The Maury Show'





Pay babydaddy, pay!

A judge ordered Levi Johnston to cough up 14 months of back child support Thursday for the toddler son he had with Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol in December 2008.

The retroactive amount has not yet been finalized. It will be tied to the new monthly support Johnston must pay going forward - a figure the judge is expected to order once she reviews his overdue financial records.

Bristol Palin is asking for about $1,700 a month and a retroactive lump sum of $19,232.

'Growing Pains' actor Andrew Koenig found dead

VANCOUVER — More than a week after scouring the city for missing American actor Andrew Koenig, friends who had organized their own search discovered the 41-year-old man's body in the vast urban park that he favored when he lived here more than 10 years ago.

Walter Koenig, also an actor known for his role as Chekov on the original Star Trek series, said his son's body was found Thursday by friends in Stanley Park.

"Our son took his own life," Koenig said, struggling to maintain his composure. "He was obviously in a lot of pain."

Koenig, flanked by his wife, Judith, said their son, known for his role as Richard "Boner" Stabone on the popular 1980s TV series Growing Pains, was in the midst of a life-long struggle with depression.

Top Treasury Official Backs Off Promise To Stem Foreclosure Crisis, Signature Initiative May Fall Short

"Obama" is a Kenyan word for "Hoover"




A top Treasury Department official indicated Thursday that the Obama administration's signature foreclosure-prevention initiative may not deliver on its promise to help three to four million troubled homeowners permanently reduce their monthly payments.

Under questioning by a Congressional panel, Phyllis Caldwell, chief of Treasury's Homeownership Preservation Office, would not repeat previous assurances about the Home Affordable Modification Program.

Through January, only about 116,000 homeowners have received permanent modifications, resulting in average monthly savings of more than $500. The program was launched last year. Wall Street analysts, mortgage experts and homeowner advocates have criticized the program for its slow progress. Treasury and White House officials have, in the past, repeatedly stressed that the plan would eventually meet its goal of helping three to four million borrowers by 2012.

Citigroup Says Feds Ordered 7 Day Restriction On Bank Withdrawals

Buy gold and put it under your mattress




A new advisory being sent by America’s third largest bank to its account holders has stoked fears that major financial institutions could be preparing for old fashioned bank runs if the economy takes a turn for the worse.

Originally reported by John Carney over at the Business Insider website, Citigroup is sending the following information to customers along with their bank statements.

“Effective April 1, 2010, we reserve the right to require (7) days advance notice before permitting a withdrawal from all checking accounts. While we do not currently exercise this right and have not exercised it in the past, we are required by law to notify you of this change.”

An almost identical advisory to the one being sent out can be read on page 22 of Citbank’s Client Manual effective January 1, 2010, which can be read here from Citibank’s own website.

“We reserve the right to require seven (7) days advance notice before permitting a withdrawal from all checking, savings and money market accounts. We currently do not exercise this right and have not exercised it in the past,” states the manual.

CoOlDiGgY celebrates Black History Month: Stacey Dash

She got us through "Clueless" with our manhood still intact

French husbands 'may be tagged'

In a nation of 65 million, 160 wives (or .001 percent) get killed by husbands and every guy is suspect to being "tagged?" And this is NOT for convicts, it's for "those likely." No wonder the world hates France




Men seen as likely to be violent towards their wives could be forced to wear an electronic tag under a law being debated by the French parliament.

The tag would have to be worn by men who have received a court order to stay away from their partner.

The proposal is part of a draft law on conjugal violence. It has cross-party support and is expected to pass easily.

According to the government, around 160 women in France are murdered by their husbands or partners.

Parliament is also considering outlawing psychological violence in the home, because it is seen by many as a precursor to physical violence.

When "Idols" clash: Simon vs Ellen

You shouldn't care but you do. You disappoint us




Simon Cowell and Ellen DeGeneres flat out don't get along, and the tension is building ... this according to multiple "American Idol" sources.

Our insiders say Simon and Ellen aren't even trying to hide it. Ellen can't stand what she believes is Simon's cruelty toward contestants. And, we're told, Simon actually enjoys pissing Ellen off with his blistering critiques.

People working on the show last night tell TMZ ... it was apparent on and off camera ... Simon's tolerance level for the contestants was at an all-time low, and he knew it was making Ellen uncomfortable but clearly didn't care. As one insider put it, "He was intentionally pushing her buttons."

It all started badly when Simon showed up late for Ellen's first week of "A.I." taping and made her wait around. Producers separated the two -- who began the season sitting side-by-side -- but the tension has gotten worse.

But business
is business. "A.I." is beating the Olympics, and ratings for Ellen's show skyrocketed last week. In Hollywood, contempt has its upside.

'Toyota Defense' Might Rescue Jailed Minnesota Man

Ever since his 1996 Toyota Camry shot up an interstate ramp, plowing into the back of an Oldsmobile in a horrific crash that killed three people, Koua Fong Lee insisted he had done everything he could to stop the car.

A jury didn't believe him, and a judge sentenced him to eight years in prison. But now, new revelations of safety problems with Toyotas have Lee pressing to get his case reopened and his freedom restored. Relatives of the victims — who condemned Lee at his sentencing three years ago — now believe he is innocent and are planning to sue Toyota. The prosecutor who sent Lee to prison said he thinks the case merits another look.

"I know 100 percent in my heart that I took my foot off the gas and that I was stepping on the brakes as hard as possible," Lee said in an interview Wednesday at the state prison in Lino Lakes. "When the brakes were looked at and we were told that nothing was wrong with the brakes, I was shocked."

NFL COMBINE: What's Important, What's Not

Nearly 350 prospects for April’s NFL Draft will descend on Indianapolis for the annual scouting combine. In year’s past, much of the first and second round talent declines to participate in some or all of the physical drills, preferring to wait until their school’s Pro Day on campus. They like to run on a surface they’re accustomed to or to give a nagging injury just a little more time to heal. This combine looks to be different as very few players, other than quarterbacks, have refused to participate in their position drills. Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy are both rehabbing shoulder injuries and won’t throw. Tim Tebow is currently undergoing a drastic change to his throwing motion under the watchful eye of several personal coaches. He will throw on campus March 17. With so many juniors figuring into the mix, very few position players are refusing to go all out in every drill.

Teams send an army of coaches, scouts, trainers, personnel people, doctors and the general manager in an attempt to be everywhere over the six days. I read the Vikings are sending 48 people to the combine. If every team sends that many people, that works out to almost 5 teams reps for each draftable prospect. One would think that would pretty much cover everything right? Wrong, that’s how guys like Priest Holmes, James Harrison, Antonio Gates, Wes Welker, Brian Waters and Donald Driver all went undrafted, it’s not an exact science. Last season a guy I touted leading up to the combine, Sebastian Vollmer, wasn’t even invited to attend. In April, he was New England’s 2nd round selection and Vollmer started 11 games, playing both offensive tackle spots. Scouting and drafting is much harder than it looks.

'Tort Reform' Means Less Accountability For The Medical Profession

One of those ideas that look good on a bumper sticker but sucks when the doctor accidentally amputates the wrong leg




President Obama is widely expected to toss Republicans a bone at Thursday's health care summit, by publicly embracing what's known as "tort reform."

By tort reform, Republicans and medical professionals mean caps on non-economic punitive damages in lawsuits where patients or their survivors have proven in court that they were the victims of gross medical malpractice.

Proponents have long dominated the framing of the issue with their arguments that tort reform will lead to lower health care costs and will free doctors from practicing defensive medicine. But that narrative is flawed. And it completely neglects how punitive damages essentially the only way that patients have of holding medical professionals and organizations accountable when they kill, maim or injure people through their negligence, ignorance or even malice.

Unanswered Questions in the Paterson Mess

Governor Paterson: screwing up more before 9am than you do all week




Of course we all want to know what Gov. David Paterson knew about the accusations against his aide, David Johnson, and when.

If Paterson's State Police Superintendent admits he knew about these accusations the day after the alleged incident on Halloween, did he not tell his boss?

Why did the State Police get involved in a Bronx domestic violence case?

Why did David Paterson speak to David Johnson's ex girlfriend on the phone?

The timing of the governor's Feb. 7 phone conversation with the ex seems quite suspicious because it took place a day after the New York Times visited her home and on the eve of her next scheduled court date, to which she never showed up.
At the time, there were rumors wildly circulating that Johnson's ex was dishing to the press about Paterson and women in the executive mansion. Turns out that does not appear to have been her role in this story.

James Cameron: Why The Na'vi Have Breasts!

Because EVERYTHING should have breasts. Spoons, ceiling fans, even ducks




James Lipton taped an episode of Inside the Actors Studio last week with the “king of the world” himself, Avatar director James Cameron. Uinterview has a sneak peek at what you can expect. In quite possibly the most awkward moment of the night, Lipton asked about the physical characteristics of the movie's alien women. "Why do the Na'vi have breasts?" Lipton inquired with the straightest face in Hollywood.

Once the audience’s laughter subsided, Cameron paused from laughing and responded, "Because this is a movie for human people." The crowd roared again. Cameron went on to explain further his philosophy of the Na'vi character design. He boiled it down to: "Let’s focus on things that can create otherness that are not off-putting."
