 * No Trial for Teen in Dad's Murder Plot**

An eighteen year old from Houston was arrested for plotting to kill her father. Ashley Shamp was charged with “ solicitation of capital murder in a 2009 case where her father was not injured.” Her father had bailed her out of jail. Also, the mother of Shamp was arrested back in November for hiring her daughter's ex-boyfriend to kill her husbands. Also, Ashley Shamp apparently texted her friend Nathaniel Blake about him killing her father. Shamp was offering Blake $20,000 to kill her father. Blake had contacted the police. Shamp's attorney says the teen's mother had sent the texts. Shamp is in jail and has a bail of $75,000.

I personally can't believe this. For one, a teenager was plotting to kill her father and she had offered $20,000 for a friend to kill her father. If that's the case, I think it's very fair that she gets out in jail. Also, the fact that her mother is involved, that shocks me even more. What could this father possibly have done to upset these ladies so much? [[http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/movie_reviews/b166796_reviews_lightning_thief_herculean_bore.html|

Peter's opinion of the film was less than satisfactory. He believed that the actors were to generic, for one. He also went on about how Chris Columbus, the director, didn't do too great of a job. In his own words, "[The stars] have been saddled with roles that //need// charming and charismatic performances. Having to watch Percy go from mopey teen to angsty demigod teen just isn't very interesting." With that in mind, he saw how a few popular actors/actresses were playing some of the Gods. He was pleased with a few of those choices. He did give a verh brief plot synopsis. But, while doing so, he didn't sound to pleased through his writing. All in all, Peter Paras didn't like this particular movie.

But, from my point of view, I must differ. For one, the storyline, if it followed the book, is very interesting! There hasn't been a movie about the Greek Gods in a long while. Also, I did my fair share of research on the actors and actresses on te movie, the book isone of my favorites..I had to make sure they weren't going to do me wrong! The lead actor, Logan Lerman(Percy Jackson) was in Hoot and The Butterfly Effect both were he gave a stellar performance. I don't know were this guy got all this bad acting from![] February 2, 2010 By: Gossip Cop Unusual Event
 * OOPS! Taylor Swift drops Grammy Award**

Taylor Swift dropped one of her Grammy's in front of a large group of photographers. Her Grammy had shattered to pieces. But, on the up side, the Grammy's she was posing with weren't the actual Grammy she would receive. The “fake Grammy's” she was posing with were just stand in's. Swift's legit awards won't be in Nashville for a few weeks. The difference between them are the fact that the real Grammy's have the winner's name engraved on it. Swift apparently was a bit freaked out due to the fact that she thought she destroyed one of her Grammy's. But, thankfully, someone told her that Mary J. Blige had done the same thing. Word is, is the man who put the awards in Swift's arms didn't balance them very well.

Seriously? They go in depth into the fact that someone had a clumsy moment and dropped something. Sure, it's a Grammy, but still. I don't really think that this is that big of a deal. Shouldn't people be more worried about other things in the world rather than Taylor Swift accidentally dropping something?

Man In Coffin Found To Be Alive Thanks To Keepsakes

No Author stated.

International.

A Polish man was going to be buried alive if his wife and Son-In-Law hadn't wanted to have a few keepsakes. The wife wanted her husband's chain around his neck and the Son-In-Law wanted his watch. Whenever the Son-In-Law reached for the watch and felt a pulse. They immediately rushed the man to the hospital were he was put into intensive care. Wysluchato, the man who was burring him, was scared that if he had buried him..what would have happened? Thankfully, the man is alive and well now!

That is so awesome! This seriously makes me wonder, what would have happened if the family didn't want the keepsakes? What if Wysluchato had gone ahead and buried the man? I think these are questions we can all ask ourselves. Thank goodness there was a pulse found.

REPORT: Cop Was Drunk, Speeding.

By: Alice Wolke Kalthoff Date: Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2010

LOCAL

A Plano policeman, Officer Ray Wildes, was driving drunk and hit fellow police man, Officer Foale. Last week, Wildes was speeding off duty on the service road of the Central Expressway at Legacy Drive. At approx. 2:40AM when he ran a red light. Wildes had blood alcohol content of .11. When the legal limit in Texas is only .08. Both Wildes and Foale are in Medical Center of Plano. they both have serious injuries. Plano police are still investigating this crime.

I think this is ridiculous. Aren't cops supposed to set examples for everyone else? I think that he should have been more careful. Maybe a designated driver would have helped.
