Sources say she is finally getting it through her air-filled head that one way or the next, she’ll end up behind bars following her grand theft arrest.

Behind the Keith Olbermann Firing: What Went Down? What’s Next For Host?
2 years ago
In the 36 hours since the surprise announcement that MSNBC fired Keith Olbermann, his abrupt exit from a network he helped transform has raised questions.
Why fire a guy with such undisputed value to the network, a figure who – love him or hate him – became one of the best-known figures of the cable news era?
Insiders say no single event got him axed, but for all his eloquence, on-air presence and broadcasting skill, Olbermann was just too difficult to work with.
According to the Washington Post, Olbermann often clashed with his employers, condemning – often publicly – directives with

Mean Girls is one of the best comedies of its generation.
The 2004 film catapulted Rachel McAdams to stardom, proved that Lindsay Lohan can actually be funny and jump-started the writing career of Tina Fey, who used the movie as a springboard to 30 Rock.
So it’s with a heavy heart that we post the following trailer for Mean Girls 2, a direct-to-video sequel that doesn’t feature any of the original’s leading ladies. Take a look now at the latest example of Hollywood being totally out of fresh ideas:

Heidi Montag separates and moves out of home shared with Spencer Pratt

(HMG) – As much as they were two peas in a pod in some ways, I could see the writing on the wall on this one. White Wolf and Running Bear are no more. TMZ got the scoop first that Heidi Montag has separated from husband Spencer Pratt. Not long ago Heidi had hired Malibu psychic Aiden Chase to replace Spencer Pratt as her business manger. It didn’t last long as she fired him two weeks later, but it was perhaps a cry for independence a week or so ago. Since then there were reports that Spencer was literally keeping Heidi on a short leash, only allowing her out three times in the past
