Maria Gabriela Perez Busted

by Brian Hastings on August 19, 2010

Maria Gabriela Perez, the prominent Beverly hills skin artist that boasts a long list of super celebrity clients that reads like the who’s who of the entertainment world was busted for making unauthorized credit card transaction on many of her “A” list celebrity clients.

Apparently she was doing this for some time till her luck ran out. Maria Gabriela Perez is said to have racked up fake credit card charges to the tune of 200,000 dollars. Credit card scams are quite common in this world but coming across someone that was doing this to famous celebrities is rare and considering that she had a great business going on and was doing well it begs the question “What was she thinking?”

Among the many clients that were fraudulently charged were Jennifer Aniston, Liv Tyler and Melanie Griffith.  Jennifer Aniston was quoted to have said that the whole credit card thing was “not cool”.

Maria Gabriela Perez is now cooling her heels in prison and is facing potentially a long term in jail, a maximum of 25 years according to the authorities

Dr. Laura N-Word Rant Finds Support With Sarah Palin

by Brian Hastings on August 19, 2010

Embattled Dr Laura found support albeit a surprising one from former governor Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin tweeted that she would like to see Dr. Laura fight rather than give up. Dr Laura recently quit her talk show on radio after the huge outcry over her comments on the air with a caller and what is know being called the infamous Dr. Laura N-Word Rant.

It is surprising to hear Sarah Palin coming out in support of Dr. Laura Schlessinger especially considering that Dr Laura was especially scathing in her remarks regarding Sarah Palin candidature for the vice presidency during the previous elections. Dr. Laura is said to have expressed deep disappointment with Sarah Palin as a role model and questioned her motives when she came back to the Governor’s office after 5 days of delivery her fifth child and particularly when the child was diagnosed with downs syndrome.

Sarah Palin’s argument is that an individual’s first amendment right and right to free speech takes precedence and is firmly behind Dr. Laura Schlessinger. Dr. Laura Schlessinger earlier this week resigned from her radio talk show after she used the N-word eleven times live on her radio talk show with a caller.
