Derrick Stokes you should receive the dumbest criminal award
Derrick Stokes should receive the dumbest criminal award for still being in Memphis. How do you get a second chance at freedom and only get as far as the Relax Inn on Third?
The man has managed to get sentenced to life and walk out of the Jail twice and he could not make it past the state line! He was on the run for 30 days before he was caught the first time. The second time it was less than a week.

So it was not enough for his father and brother who tried to help him by getting him a room. But his dumb ass brother goes down to 201 poplar complaining about how he was arrested and finds out that he has another warrant against himself. So he gets arrested again!
Now Bobby Partee tells where his brother is, and now him and his father are locked up with a $250,000 bond. Why did’nt his father and brother get him a bus ticket or since they were helping him, why not just put him in the trunk of the car and take him to Mexico?
Its sad that this whole family should receive the award!!!!

Mr. Hito, Japanese professional wrestler,died he was 67
Katsuji Adachi (安達勝治 Adachi Katsuji) better known as Mr. Hito, died he was 67. Mr. Hiti was a Japanese professional wrestler who competed in North American and Japanese regional promotions from the 1950s until the mid-1980s. Most notably, he was the tag team partner of Mr. Moto (who was one of the earliest Japanese “heels“) while wrestling in National Wrestling Alliance regional territories during the late 1950s.
He is perhaps best known for his work in Stu Hart‘s Stampede Wrestling, where he won multiple championship titles. He is also highly regarded by Bret Hart as his most significant trainer alongside Kazuo Sakurada (a.k.a. Mr. Sakurada), who he trained with extensively in Stu Hart’s “Dungeon.” [1]
| (April 25, 1942 – April 20, 2010), |
Katsuji Adachi made his debut in 1956, at the age of 14. A mainstay of the Japan Wrestling Association during the 1960s, he lost to Haruka Eigen at the Kawasaki Stadium on July 1, 1969.[2] The following year, Adachi appeared in the JWA New Year Champion Series in January 1970 [3] and the Golden Series [4] in July before leaving the country to compete in North America during the early 1970s.
As Tokyo Joe, he and Kung Fu Lee were managed by Percival A. Friend in NWA Central States in 1973.[5] The following year, he was one of three Japanese wrestlers along with Kung Fu Lee and Jumbo Tsuruta who participated in a 12-man battle royal on April 7, 1974. Held in the Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis, Missouri, the event also included André the Giant, Bobo Brazil, Bill Miller, Billy Red Lyons, Black Angus Campbell, Reggie Parks, Frank Valois, Billy Howard and Dory Funk, Jr. who eventually won the event.[6]
Hito saw great success as a tag team wrestler in Stampede Wrestling in Calgary, winning the NWA International Tag Team Championship (Calgary version) eight times. During this time, as part of Big Bad John‘s “army” with King Curtis Iaukea and John Quinn, he feuded with “Cowboy” Dan Kroffat, Larry Lane and Mark Lewin after attacking the then 60-year-old Stu Hart who had been handcuffed to the ring ropes.[7]
His first win took place in 1975 with partner John Quinn, but the titles were then vacated. To reclaim them that same year, Hito teamed with Gil Hayes to win a tag team tournament. The following year, he and Higo “Animal” Hamaguchi won the titles. Then Michel Martel helped him gain his fourth tag title victory in 1977. Two years passed until he gained his fifth and sixth titles with Mr. Sakurada, winning and losing the titles against the likes of Bret and Keith Hart, Dory Funk Jr., and Leo Burke. Hito then pursued singles competition. He and Mr. Sakaruda would also have a short stint in Championship Wrestling from Florida in late 1979 [8] and World Class Championship Wrestling the following year,[9] winning the tag team titles in both promotions.
Hito won his first Stampede North American Heavyweight Championship on September 18, 1981 from David Schultz, only to lose it back the following month. His second title reign lasted from November 6, 1981 until March 19 the following year, in which he was forced to vacate it due injuries resulting from an automobile accident in early 1982. While driving to a show in Lethbridge with Bruce Hart, Jim Neidhart, Gerry Morrow and a Stampede road hand, he had suffered facial injuries as well as a broken wrist and a dislocated knee after hitting the back tires of semi-trailer as it was pulling into a roadside gas station.[10]
In March 11, 1983, Hito won his eighth NWA International Tag Team Championship with Jim Neidhart in Calgary, Alberta. They would win them one last time from Mike Shaw and Mike Miller the same year. In 1986, after 30 years in the ring, he retired from in-ring competition and remained to be Stu Hart’s right-hand man in the Dungeon.
Retirement and death
Around 2003, Adachi moved back to Osaka, Japan, to work at his sister’s okonomiyaki restaurant. In 2005, he moved back to Calgary. In August 2006, he made a guest appearance for Hiroshi Hase‘s retirement ceremony.
According to Bret Hart, Adachi was one of Stu Hart’s most trusted foremen and reliable workers in the heyday of Stampede Wrestling; Bret’s DVD set also features rare footage of Adachi and Sakurada squashing him. He has credited Adachi as being one of his greatest mentors, stating, “People often say to me, where would wrestling be without Bret Hart. But my answer to that is, where would Bret Hart be without Mr. Hito.”
Adachi died on April 20, 2010. His cause of death is related to diabetes, which he had suffered from for several years and it caused the amputation of his right leg in October 2009.

Jon Gosselin to drop bitter custody
In a shocking twist of events, Jon Gosselin is playing nice with his ex-wife.
According to TMZ.com, the octodad is planning to drop his custody and child support lawsuit against ex Kate Gosselin.
He has reportedly hired a new lawyer since firing his former attorney, Anthony List, the man who called Kate an “absentee mom” and filed legal papers on behalf of Jon seeking full custody of their kids.
“Jon has retained a new lawyer and they’re now trying to work out an arrangement that is both private and between themselves,” a source told E! Online.
Since there is a noticeably large difference between Jon and Kate’s income, the exes are reportedly working together to revise the custody and child support agreement that is currently in action.
Jon, 32, has been paying $20,000 a month in child support to his ex-wife, who reportedly earned $200,000 for her stint on “Dancing with the Stars.”
If Jon does not withdraw his petition against Kate, 35, the exes will be ordered to attend a parenting class titled “Children in the Middle,” TMZ reports.
The three-hour session is reportedly required for all parents who are involved in custody battles in Berks County, PA.
Though they wouldn’t have to attend the class together, both parties would be required to complete the course by June 8.
The Gosselin children were recently cleared by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry to appear with their mom in a series of new TLC specials titled “Kate Plus 8,” according to the Associated Press. Jon is rumored to be trying to get his own show from the network.

Who is Luther R. Campbell?
Who is Luther R. Campbell? The world know his as Luke Skyywalker, Uncle Luke or Luke. He is a record label owner, rap performer (taking the non-rapping role of promoter), and actor. He is perhaps best known as a one-time member and leader of 2 Live Crew, and star of his own show, Luke’s Parental Advisory. As a result of one of the group’s songs, which used a parody of Roy Orbison‘s “Oh, Pretty Woman” Campbell was party to Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. which was argued in front of the US Supreme Court.
Campbell’s was born December 22, 1960 work as a performer can be characterised as Southern Rap; most of it is part of the Miami Bass sub-genre. The sexual content of his group’s lyrics caused controversy and led to legal cases. Usually, Campbell does not rap but rather shouts or chants—very often in a call and response manner, with him calling and the crowd responding. He was not an original member of the 2 Live Crew, only joining them after their first steps as a California rap crew. Only through Campbell did they become “Southern” rappers.
Campbell ran Luke Records, which shortened its name from Luke Skyywalker Records after George Lucas filed a legal case against them for infringing on the name of his Star Wars character, Luke Skywalker.
Luke actually began as a concert promoter in Miami, bringing all the hot rap groups of the early 1980s to the city. In 1985, 2 Live Crew’s initial single (2 Live AKA Beat Box) was a smash hit on the South Florida club circuit, so Luke brought them from California to Miami for a performance. He took a special interest in the group and began managing them, and only after he saw a lack of stage presence in the front men did he insert himself into the group as their “hype man”.
Luke’s first solo LP, Banned in the USA, was basically a 2 Live Crew record, yet he did not offer royalties to the group for creating the album; rather, a small flat fee was paid. When 2 Live Crew’s contracts with Luke Records ended in 1991, the group’s producer (and Luke Records’ in-house producer for the entire label) Mr. Mixx left the group and returned to California. However, the group did decide to do a sequel to their biggest album. Initially, Luke employed the label’s second string producers The O.D.S. to produce the album, but it was not turning into the group’s vision, so Luke recruited Mr. Mixx to return and produce the album as an independent producer (T-Shirt and Khakis Productions).
However, by the time of the album’s completion, they sought to make it appear as if the group was totally intact. Shortly after, all members of the group drew up a lawsuit against Luke for unpaid royalties, which member Fresh Kid Ice backed out of and revamped a new 2 Live Crew with Luke in 1994. Finally a settlement was reached for the remaining plaintiffs. Shortly after this, label-mate MC Shy D would effectively sue Luke Records for $1.2 million dollars in unpaid royalties. The judge in the case, a former musician himself, verbally stated that he wanted to make an example of Luke.
Luke released a solo record (technically, his first) in 1991 entitled I Wanna Rock (also known as Doo Doo Brown), but he remained true to his call and response style rather than rapping, and hired outside producers. The song is seen as a pivotal point in Miami Bass, sparking what some call its third wave. He released it on the heels of the final 2 Live Crew album, going so far as to stop promotion on their album while the 2 Live Crew single “Pop that Coochie” was still in the charts. It is suggested that Luke wanted his solo song to be seen as the next 2 Live Crew single, despite not having rights to the group’s name.
Luke Records filed for bankruptcy in the mid-1990s. Former Luke Records’ Chief Financial Officer Lil Joe Weinstein acquired the Luke Records catalog, and reunified the original three members of 2 Live Crew without Luke during the mid-1990s to release music on Lil Joe Records. Some suggest Lil Joe deliberately forced Luke Records into bankruptcy over unpaid loans between the two men.
Campbell was also infamous in the late 1980s–early 1990s for his association with the University of Miami Hurricanes football team. Campbell told The Miami Herald that he offered “bounties” to Miami players for scoring touchdowns, intercepting passes, sacking quarterbacks, and knocking opposing players out of games. In 1993, he also once threatened to go public with various violations by the University of Miami‘s athletic department, specifically their football program, if Ryan Collins, an African-American player, wasn’t named their starting quarterback for that season.
Campbell was interviewed about his involvement with the Miami Hurricanes for the documentary The U, which premiered December 12th, 2009 on ESPN.
Lil Jon (who used to produce Miami Bass records) has a vocal style not too dissimilar from Luke—in any case, they both (normally) do not rap and use guest rappers. Crunk music may be seen as the heir of Campbell’s brand of Miami bass—both lyrically and musically.
Luke’s latest album, My Life & Freaky Times, was released in March 2006 and featured Trick Daddy, Petey Pablo, Jacki-O, Pitbull, Dirtbag, and Big Tigger to name a few. The first singles serviced to radio and the clubs from the compilation album were “Holla At Cha Homeboy”, featuring Pitbull & Petey Pablo, and the reggaeton-leaning “Pop That” by Plan B and Rey Chester Secretweapon.[1]
Campbell appeared in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories as DJ Luke for the hip-hop station Fresh 105 FM. Campbell hosts a sports talk show on Miami’s 790 The Ticket with former football player Terry Kirby on Saturdays.
Luke has recently entered the adult film industry and cites on his MySpace page the need to clean up the “sometimes amateurish new courtship of Hip-Hop and Adult Entertainment”.[1] He produced the Adult Entertainment movie “Luke’s Bachelor Party” in 2007.
In December 2007 Campbell launched The Luke Entertainment Group and took the company public trading under the symbol LKEN on Pink Sheets. As of September 3, 2008, its current price is $0.01 per share.[2] With this launching of Luke Entertainment Campbell had bought an oil company with the stock trading symbol of FPPL. Luther Campbell is also a legendary DJ member of the The Worldwide DJ organization, The Core DJ’s.
Luther Campbell is born of Bahamian parents and has four brothers living in various areas. He also has five children from previous relationships. He married lawyer Kristin Thompson on July 19, 2008 in Dallas, Texas.

Who is Ramón Bautista Ortega?
Who is Ramón Bautista Ortega? He is a famous Argentine singer and actor who is much better known as Palito Ortega. Ortega reached international fame, particularly in Latin America and Spain, during the 1960s, when Rock and Roll music became prevalent among teenagers in the region.
Ortega was born March 8, 1941 in Tucumán, Argentina to a very poor family, and he had to work from a very young age, selling newspapers and finding a job at a store. But his real passion was music, as he had been dreaming of becoming a singer since he was a small boy. As a teenager, Ortega was a big admirer of Elvis Presley.
In 1956, Ortega moved to Buenos Aires, where he wound up selling coffee on the city’s parks, corners and streets. He used his work as a coffee seller to get into show business: eventually, he set up a coffee selling spot near Buenos Aires’ television channel seven. This worked well for Ortega, as many entertainers would stop by to buy coffee from his stand, and he got to personally know some of the best known Argentine musicians of the era. Ortega also worked near a radio station named “Belgrano”, where many of the singers he met while selling coffee near the television station would recognize him and form a bond with the young star in the making.
Ortega became friends with members of a famous group named “Carlinhos y su Banda“. He learned how to play drums during band practices, and, eventually, he joined the group.
A period of wild success across South America followed for the band, with Ortega being one of their most popular members. Ortega enjoyed fame so much that he left the group to follow a solo career, confident that the recognition the group had given him would guarantee him solid success as a solo artist.
His first solo album, “La Edad del Amor” (“The Age of Love”), was recorded under the artistic name of Nery Nelson. This album, as well as the next one (“Yo no Quiero”, translated to “I don’t Want To”), was not a hit. Both albums were recorded in Mendoza with a low budget and no recording company to back them up. Ortega also used the artistic nickname of Tony Varano for some of his live shows at the time, and he became a member of “The Lyons” when the Argentine rock legend, lead singer Peter Rock, left the band. His interests, however, remained in being a successful solo singer, and he left “The Lyons” within months of joining that band.
Ortega met songwriter Dino Ramos in 1962; this would prove important in Ortega’s career as Ramos would write a large number of Ortega’s hits. By 1963, in the midst of Argentina’s own “new wave” (La nueva ola) movement (such movements were taking place in many countries, such as England, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the United States, among other countries), Ortega began to become a television regular, as he was featured multiple times on a popular Canal 11 show of the time, “Club del Clan” (“Clan’s Club”). It shall be pointed out that the word clan in Spanish has nothing to do with racist groups; “clan” has the same meaning as “group” in Spanish.
Also in 1963, Ortega signed with RCA, where he began recording immediately.
His television appearances led to a career in cinema. Ortega made multiple films in Argentina at the time, becoming a teen idol as a consequence. He acted and sang in those films, and he shared the big screen with many of Argentina’s most important actors and actresses of the time.
Palito Ortega would travel extensively through the rest of the 1960s and the 1970s. He went on to make albums in Mexico, Italy, England and even in Nashville. All of these recordings were done for RCA.
As the years passed, Ortega logically lost his status as a teen idol, and he slowed down his television and movie appearances, as well as his album recordings. He did, however, become a successful music promoter, and in 1981, he produced a show for Frank Sinatra in Argentina.
Ortega took into consideration the state of the economy in Argentina as well as the military dictatorship of the time before moving with his wife and six children to Miami, which by the middle 1980s was becoming a mecca for Latino entertainers. Ortega joined the likes of Iris Chacón, Charytín, Celia Cruz, Gloria Estefan, Julio Iglesias and others as a resident of the south Florida city. In 1986, Ortega sang the United States national anthem before the world middleweight championship boxing fight between Marvin Hagler and John Mugabi.
Ortega retired from show business for a while after that, focusing on his career as a businessman and eyeing a career as a politician instead. He witnessed as two of his children (son Emanuel and daughter Julieta) dedicated themselves to follow in their father’s footsteps as entertainers, and, with Emanuel moving to Mexico, Ortega decided to return to Argentina. Ortega was elected Governor of Tucumán Province in 1991, and governed as a close ally of President Carlos Menem. Aligned with Menem’s free market policies, he privatized the Bank of Tucumán and the Provincial Electric Authority, moves which helped cost him approval. Ortega declined to run for re-election in 1995. The Justicialist Party nominated him for his country’s vice-presidency in 1999, but his party lost the general elections that year.
In 2002, Ortega began to tour as a singer again. In 2004, his son, Emanuel, began to enjoy mild success as an actor and singer in Mexico.
