'Hot for Teacher' lawsuit, A "Hot for Teacher" lawsuit was filed against a college in Michigan and it has little to do with the popular Van Halen song. According to Fox News on March 15, a student sued Oakland University for banning him for writing an essay based on the lyrics to the popular song. According to the "Hot for Teacher" lawsuit, 57-year-old Joseph Corlett turned in an assignment calling for students to write "raw things, a personal diary that maybe we wouldn't want anyone to read." Corlett chose a topic that has been a curious taboo for years, a student's infatuation with their teacher. In the "raw" journal entry, Corlett wrote that one teacher reminded him of Ginger from the popular classic television series "Gilligan's Island" and another was hot, and not just because she was pregnant with a "bun in her oven." The teacher was offended and showed it to the dean who then expelled Corlett for th

Allen Stanford could finally begin getting back some of what they lost in the next few months, after a recovery process that has dragged on for more than four years. Investors — some of whom lost their life savings — will see only a pittance of what they put into the scheme. But the process got a boost this week as parties that had been battling each other for control of about $300 million in frozen foreign bank accounts and other assets once owned by Stanford reached an agreement to work together......theoaklandpress. “The freeing up of funds ... is a good thing,” Angela Shaw, a Dallas-area woman who founded the Stanford Victims Coalition after three generations of her family lost $4.5 million in the fraud, said Friday.

Palin mocks Obama and Rove

Former GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin mocked President Obama, GOP consultant Karl Rove and the mainstream media in a folksy speech to a gathering of conservative activists outside Washington Saturday. During her address to the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, Palin accused Obama of failing to lead, instead maintaining a permanent campaign approach of demonizing the opposition. True leadership, she said, means "ending the poisonous practice of treating members of different social, ethnic and religious groups as different electorates, pandered to with different promises." If all men are created equal, as the Declaration of Independence states, Palin said, then there are "no Hispanic issues or African-American issues or women's issues — there are only American issues." The former Alaska governor also mocked Obama's proposals for stricter gun rules, tying the issue to conspiracy theories about the president's own citizenship. &q

Bill Walton ESPN joke

Bill Walton ESPN joke, It's the Pac 12 Tournament and Bill Walton is ending the year with a bang.  The redhead has had a glorious return to the broadcast booth working games for the Pac 12 Network and ESPN this year after being sidelined due to health reasons.  Walton was in rare form today, even by his Grateful Dead infused high standards, so much so that the Pac 12 actually sent a press release with some of his best quotes from the early action.  But those were nothing compared to what Walton said coming out of commercial with the Pac 12 mascots coming out of a limousine.  It was worthy of a double take, a spit take, and any other _____ take you could muster.  Bill Walton made a joke about being in the limosuine with ESPN's shiny new NFL analyst Ray Lewis, who just happens to have a bit of history with limos: "I was way in the back with Ray Lewis and it was unbelievable how much fun, oh my gosh, how many people were in there!"

That isn’t really me,” Styles says in the November. “But I am quite flirty — maybe I’m too flirty.

Cruise, Cher dated, Tom Cruise And Cher Dated?

Hollywood sure is weird sometimes. So weird, in fact, that it produced one of the world's most bizarre couples, Tom Cruise and Cher, back in the '80s. It took the couple about two decades to come clean about their relationship, when Cher went on "Good Morning America" and said Cruise "was not a Scientologist when they were seeing each other" and continued on to describe him as "just the most adorable man you can imagine." In 20 years, Katie Holmes is bound to do the same.

Sheen's daughter, Making Charlie Sheen mad is a bad idea. And bullying Charlie Sheen's daughter is apparently a very bad idea. The girl's former school has unfortunately learned this after the actor called for supporters to smear dog poop on the school in protest. The source of this rather insane protest is a bullying incident involving Sheen's 9-year-old daughter, Sam. The actor alleges that another girl bullied Sam last year. Because of the bullying, Sheen and ex-wife Denise Richards removed their daughter from the school in March 2012. Now, Sheen is ready to go on the offensive against what he considers the improper handling of the incident by the Viewpoint School of Calabasas, California. As Sheen explained to TMZ.com, "There's no statute of limitations on bullying... [the school] should be ashamed of itself for allowing the bullying to go on and try to hide it." Sheen also alleges that the school accused his daughter of being a liar in the situation.
