Telling a judge he was embarrassed, disgusted and ashamed, a former member of KC and the Sunshine Band has been sentenced in Ohio to seven years in prison for sex charges involving teen boys.
Bassist and music producer Richard Finch entered pleas of no contest in Licking County Common Pleas Court on Monday to unlawful sexual conduct with a minor and several other charges.
His voice breaking, the 56-year-old Finch apologized to a judge and the teens, saying he had little memory of the activities because he was impaired by alcohol. (via: huffingtonpost)

The search for the three missing Skelton boys took an interesting turn today.
There is still no sign of the three missing boys from Morenci. Their father is now charged with parental kidnapping. John Skelton is being held in Toledo, and he told a judge on Wednesday he is fighting extradition back to Michigan.
John Skelton showed little emotion as he was wheeled into a Lucas County courtroom Wednesday morning. He appeared before Common Pleas Court Judge Gary Cook after being arrested on charges of parental kidnapping.
“Today, he was brought before the court for the purpose of seeing whether or not he would waive extradition. He refused to waive extradition,” said Assistant Lucas County Prosecutor Jeffrey Lingo.
Skelton’s booking documents show the 39-year-old was being treated at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center in Toledo following his failed suicide attempt. Tuesday night, FBI agents showed up at his hospital room to arrest him. He was transported from the hospital to the Lucas County Jail where he remains locked up. (via: FOXDetriot)

Word broke yesterday that aspiring actor, Michael Brea, slashed his mother to death in their Brooklyn, New York home with a sword. According to the New York Daily News:
Neighbors of a Brooklyn woman savagely slashed to death by her deranged, sword-wielding son claim cops refused to enter her apartment early Tuesday despite their pleas.
When cops finally got inside the Prospect Heights home, they found Yannick Brea kneeling with fatal lacerations to her head in a blood-spattered bathroom.
The son, holding the three-foot sword and babbling about religion and repentance, was arrested in a nearby bedroom, police said.
“I could hear her groaning inside … She was still alive, but they wouldn’t go in,” said Clinton Clare, 52, who lived in the apartment below the Brea family.
Clare estimated police waited an hour before bursting into the apartment, where neighbors heard Michael Brea, 31, delivering a terrifying rant at his doomed mother.
“I heard a ‘Help me!’ shriek,” said Vernal Bent, 18, who lived in the apartment above. “Police kept knocking on the door. Knocking and knocking … All of us kept saying, ‘Open the door.’” (via: nydailynews.com)
Brea once appeared on TV series Ugly Betty. It was reported that Brea angrily screamed at his mother to “repent” before delivering the death blows.
Being an Apple fan boy and owning at least 3 black turtlenecks I was excited to see what Apple had to say today. As I do with every Apple announcement I am hitting Apple Key + R non stop to refresh the page to see what the newest and greatest is from these guys. There was a lot of hype on Monday on what the announcement might be. iOS 4.2? Verizon? Steve Jobs stepping down? Early reports said The Beatles and I was like yeah ok. When the clock stuck might night 10 AM there they were John,Paul,Ringo,and George standing on Apple.com with all their glory.
This was it? This was the announcement? Come on. All hype for nothing that great. Sorry Lauren.
Was I the only one who felt like this? My twitter stream says I was not the only one. Here are some recaps:
“Telling me The Beatles are on iTunes is like telling me Grandpa finally got a colour tv” –TUAW
“The ‘big announcement’ from iTunes was they are releasing songs from some band called the beatles? never heard of ‘em” –LessThanJr
Was this the announcement? -TravelingAnna;Yes-Me;Yawn-TravelingAnna
Apple next time just tell us and not hold out on us like this.-Craig
On Tuesday, Steven Spader, a New Hampshire teen accused of killing a woman and severely injuring her daughter during a brutal home invasion, was found guilty of first degree murder and attempted murder. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Spader, 19, was convicted of breaking into Kimberly Cates’ New Hampshire home and hacking her to death with a machete last year. Meanwhile, his friend, 19-year-old Christopher Gribble, repeatedly stabbed her 11-year-old daughter Jaimie as she tried to defend her mother. Jamie sustained serious injuries that required hours of surgery. Gribble has his court date in February.(via: modernmom.com)
This is just crazy to me. How can someone hate someone else so much to do something so brutal?
How does it feel to be on two professional NFL teams within less than 1 month? Must suck. Maybe if your attitude was better, teams would want to keep you around. Your talented man, common!
The Minnesota Vikings officially placed disgruntled wide receiver Randy Moss on waivers Tuesday afternoon, NFL Network insider Jason LaCanfora confirmed.
Teams will now have until 4 p.m. ET Wednesday to make a claim. Moss is owed roughly $3 million in salary if he is claimed. If he goes unclaimed, then the Vikings are responsible for his full salary and the six-time Pro Bowl pick would become an unrestricted free agent eligible to sign with any club. (via: nfl.com)
Every year we hear about The Cowboys. The Cowboys this, The Cowboys that. Well, the team from Texas with it’s new 1.3 Billion dollar stadium is 1-5 this year. After suffering a loss from the New York Giants, Wade Philips has to be worried about this job. Really now, you are running a team of Romo and company and you are 1-5.
Mr. Phillips, you never even played in the NFL! What gives you the right to be a NFL Coach? I think your 63 year old ass needs to be put to bed. You just lost fancy boy Tony Romo, now what are you going to do? I’m sure Jerry Jones is happy about all this, word on the street is he is going to call Donald Trump to say those famous words “You’re Fired!”
Junior Seau is this week’s victim. And when I say victim, he really was a victim last week. He was arrested for domestic violence after an interview with his girlfriend who explained that after a fight, he got violent. After he was released, he drove his car off a cliff in Carlsbad, California near his home.
Now, although he made a statement in January that he had played his final game, he never officially retired from the NFL. Does this mean he will make a Favre-like comeback? We all know how our site feels about Brett Favre.
Reports from the police say that Seau fell asleep behind the wheel of his car which caused him to crash. There were no reports of drugs or alcohol as being the reason for the crash. Also, that he did not try to take his own life after being arrested just hours before. (via: thenewsportalonline.com, vancouversun.com and tmz.com)
So you may be good looking, and on a hit TV show, but that gives you no right to break up a marriage. Or did he? Recently reports have surfaced that the reason why Courtney Cox and David Arquette are separating is due to the emotional bond her and Van Holt have formed while taping their television show Cougar Town.
Arquette opened up to Howard Stern on his radio show saying.
I do believe her … I truly don’t think she ever had an affair,” he said, adding that if anything perhaps they formed an “emotional” bond.
“It breaks my heart,” Arquette, 39, said of their decision to separate, adding that he is “not the one that called this [separation] in order.” “I’ve been begging Courteney to get back with me,” he later added. “She’s conflicted too.”
He said that Cox had grown tired of his immaturity and that the two hadn’t had sex in four months.
“We’re not having sex, and I completely understand,” he said during the interview, according to Us magazine. “She’s in a place of wanting to be real and emotional. She’s an emotional being. She’s an amazing woman. If it doesn’t feel right, she doesn’t feel like bonding in that way.”
Cox, 46, wants him to grow up, he added.
“She says that to me: ‘I don’t wanna be your mother anymore,’” he said. “I appreciated that. I respected that. I’ve been going to therapy. I’m trying to grow up.” (via www.cbsnews.com)
Don’t worry Courtney, if it comes out that you did have an affair, you’ll be featured in a This Woman Sucks pretty soon.
Thanks to a street vendor who was just trying to make a living selling munchies to annoying hungry tourists, police were notified of the smoking SUV in Times Square on May 1, 2010. Faisal Shahzad was arrested two days later for the attempted bombing.
U.S. District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum held her own on Tuesday morning when she told his attorney not to speak and sentenced this douche to life in prison. You tell ‘em Miriam! Faisal was granted citizenship a month prior to the attempted bombing and swore allegiance to our flag. You swore to us and didn’t mean it? Now you get to rot in jail like that scraggly old guy in Aladian.
