Rosa Parks, We Thank You Posted: 01 Dec 2010 05:58 AM PST On December 1, 1955 Rosa Parks, with one single act of ‘defiance’ that would launch the Montgomery Bus Boycott, became the first lady of the Civil Rights Movement. Many of us grew up with the notion that Parks simply didn’t want to give up her seat because she was tired from work. But as she revealed in her autobiography “My Story,” she knew very well what her decision to disobey bus driver James Blake would mean something. “People always say that I didn’t give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn’t true. I was not tired physically, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day. I was not old, although some people have an image of me as being old then. I was forty-two. No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.” When Parks refused to give up her seat, a police officer arrested her. As the officer took her away, she recalled that she asked, “Why do you push us around?” The officer’s response as she remembered it was, “I don’t know, but the law’s the law, and you’re under arrest.” She later said, “I only knew that, as I was being arrested, that it was the very last time that I would ever ride in humiliation of this kind.” We thank you, Rosa Parks, for helping change the world.

Caption This… Kardashians With Books Edition Posted: 01 Dec 2010 05:23 AM PST Seriously, we actually think the photog who took these wanted us to come up with funny captions. So we thought we’d leave the comedy writing to you. What were Kim, Khloe and Kourtney thinking as they signed copies of “Kardashian Konfidential” in NYC yesterday? And how come we couldn’t find a single copy of Kourtney by herself with a book???

Some Morning Sacrifice: Alicia Keys Is Dead For “Keep A Child Alive” Posted: 01 Dec 2010 02:15 AM PST Earlier this week, we posted how Alicia Keys has inspired Facebook and Twitter-whoring celebrities to quit their social media habits for a good cause… Of course Kim Kardashian was the first to drop her ad, but here is A. Keys-Dean’s… Are you feelin it???

Jesus Take The Wheel: Aryan Nation Supporter “Wild Bill” Holds Prostitute Captive In Closet For 10 Days, Rapes 18 Times Posted: 01 Dec 2010 02:10 AM PST What kind of sick f*ck does something like this??? Held captive in a closet for 10 days and raped 18 times, a young woman says two things kept her alive: complying with "Wild Bill's" strange demands – and thinking about seeing her two small children again. "He would let me out only when he wanted to talk to me, rape me, feed me or bathe me," the 22-year-old woman told The Enquirer on Monday, after city police announced they had arrested William Hobert Manis, 44, on 18 rape charges and a kidnapping count. A friend of Manis, Mike Hamilton of Milford, says supporters are trying to post his $200,000 bond – and they don't believe the accusations. "There is no way he could've held anybody hostage without us knowing," Hamilton said. He and others visited Manis' Campbell Avenue repeatedly throughout the 10-day period of the alleged crimes, he said. But authorities say evidence backs up the woman's account of her bizarre confinement – and she described how Manis kept it secret. As he hung out with friends, Manis kept her bound, gagged and under orders not to shift her position at all – or face consequences. "He would hog-tie me, and tell me not to move. When he came back, if he saw I had changed position at all, he would strip me naked and put me in the attic – and it was as cold in there as it was outside," she said. "That was my punishment." Hamilton police Capt. Joe Murray said the incident is one of the worst he can recall in his 31-year career. Butler County Assistant Prosecutor Jason Phillabaum said that, based on what police have told prosecutors, there is ample evidence to proceed against Manis – and that the case deserves "focused attention and aggressive prosecution." In 1996-97, Manis served Ohio prison time for aggravated assault. Earlier, he was locked up for nonviolent crimes in North Carolina. In 1992, Hamilton police arrested Manis on four counts of rape and a kidnapping – charges Middletown police had filed – but that case was dismissed. Manis is linked to the white supremacist group Aryan Nations, Hamilton police said – and his accuser says Manis described his alignment with that group. The woman admits she met Manis as she trolled gritty East Avenue, prostituting herself to support her drug habit. She hopes to convince other young women: "It ain't worth it being out there on the streets. … I'm done with it." When Manis walked up to her Nov. 16, he seemed "totally normal," she said. The two chatted as they walked to his rented home in the city's historic district. Soon after arriving, Manis turned violent, she said, and tried to shove his knit cap into her mouth. At 160 pounds and 5-feet-8, Manis outweighed the 5-foot-4 woman by about 35 pounds. He overtook her, whacked her in the head with a pair of handcuffs, restraining her and binding her mouth with tape, she said. Blood poured from gashes in her face, she said. Manis noticed she couldn't breathe, she said, so he removed the tape and replaced it a rope and sock. She learned to abide by his rules: "I was not allowed to speak. If I spoke, I got punched." Manis would remove the gag from her mouth to allow her to drink soda pop and water. Every second day, he would ration out spaghetti, Ramen noodles and chili. While she ate, Manis spouted off political and social ideology. He made her urinate on herself and would wash her body, she said, to ensure its cleanliness. "He was very obsessed with things being clean," she said. She marked how many days had passed by noticing daylight spilling through the cracks of the closet door each morning. "I was scared to go to sleep at night because I needed to be aware of what was going on at all times," she said. "I thought there was a chance he would kill me every day." She wasn't sure how she would survive, she just knew she had to. On Friday, she pounced on the one chance to escape. In his haste to meet the landlord for a furnace repair, Manis forgot to take his usual precaution: nailing the closet door shut. After the woman heard no nail being driven, she tried the door and got it to open. She opened a front window and leapt two stories to the ground, landing hard on her backside. Still cuffed at the wrists and ankles, the woman struggled to her feet and shuffled to the house next door. That neighbor, who called 911 around 3:30 p.m. Friday, told a dispatcher: "You need to get a police officer to our house like now. "We just had a handcuffed girl come through our door, and is in pretty tough shape. … She said she got out from the house next door." The woman knew she was safe – and headed back to her little ones. "I didn't care if I was going to be paralyzed by making that jump – I was coming home to my kids," she said. As for Manis, she's convinced the evidence will keep him locked up. "What he did to me – 18 counts of rape and a kidnapping, that ain't no joke," she said. "He ain't getting out no time soon." Interesting story. First of all, we hope this experience allows this woman to realize that being a prostitute is NOT what’s up, especially being the mother of 2 small children. Secondly, SMH at this guy sounding super crazy!! This is the first time we’ve heard of someone feeding and cleaning their captives. Source

A “Lil Positivity”: Yeezy Is A Do-Gooder, Not A Douchebag…”Spontaneously” Wraps Christmas Gifts For Foster Children In NYC Posted: 01 Dec 2010 02:07 AM PST Via TMZ: Kanye West spent 90 minutes gift wrapping presents for foster kids today at a charity event in NYC — but he didn’t do it for the publicity … he did it because he happened to be in the area and he felt like helping out. Sources tell TMZ West was not scheduled to attend the New Yorkers for Children’s 8th annual “Wrap to Rap” event at the Ainsworth in NYC this afternoon … but around 6:00 PM, he strolled right in and asked if he could help out. We’re told some people at the event asked West why he decided to roll in — and Kanye explained he simply felt compelled to lend a hand because he believed it was a good cause. Our sources say West cheerfully wrapped some of the 2,000 gifts that were donated by Wal-Mart … and then quietly slipped out the back. How non-douchebag-ish of Ye! Way to spread the holiday cheer.

Lacefronts & Lipgloss: 22 Year-Old Abusive Mother Who Must Report To Jail Each Week Makes Sure Her Mug Shot Game Is On Point!!! Posted: 01 Dec 2010 01:48 AM PST This is the most random ridiculousness ish we’ve seen all week!!! If you didn’t already know Kaylin Ransom was a hairdresser, you might have been able to figure it out from her mug shots – all 28 of them.Under a unique plea deal for felony battery and child abuse, the 22-year-old Ocala, Florida woman has been spending her weekends in jail for the past six months. The arrangement requires Ransom to report to the Lake County jail each Friday afternoon for a fresh 48-hour stint behind bars. Every time she reports, the Lake County Sheriff’s office takes a new booking photo – and Ransom preps for her weekly date with the photographer by paying special attention to her hair, nails, lip gloss and make-up. In the 28 mug shots logged since May, Ransom can be seen in a dizzying and ever-changing array of hairstyles. In May, Ransom pleaded no contest to three counts of battery and child abuse without great bodily harm. Ransom allegedly attacked a woman with a baseball bat and threw her children out of a car. She was sentenced to 90 days in jail, of which she has now served 56. Ransom told the Orlando Sentinel that reporting to the jail in Tavares, Florida every week is stressful. “Mentally, it kills you because you have to turn yourself in,” Ransom told the paper. “In those two days, you probably think about more than someone who’s been confined for years.” Ransom says she spends her time behind bars thinking “about how to better myself as a mother and sister.” What in the heezy?? This broad seriously has the wrong idea about life…real talk, especially if she’s acting like her weekly trip to the joint is a damn “Glamor Shots” photo shoot. Source
