Inglewood, California - Autoridades del cementerio de Inglewood anunciaron esta mañana que la tumba del afamado abogado criminalista Johnnie Cochran fue desecrada y que su cadáver fue removido de la tumba por nada más y nada menos que O.J. Simpson. La policía de Los Ángeles ha determinado que aparentemente luego de pagar fianza en Las Vegas por los cargos de secuestro agravado que pesan en su contra, éste manejó directamente a Los Ángeles y se robó el cuerpo. "Tenemos varios testigos empleados del cementerio que lo vieron meter el cadáver en el baúl y gritando que Johnnie lo iba a salvar de nuevo. Cuando trataron de detenerlo, éste les gritó que se alejaran, si no querían, y citamos, 'que los cortara a ellos también'. Temiendo por sus vidas, éstos se alejaron de él, y Simpson se fue del lugar con el cuerpo", informó el detective M. Fuhrman de la Policía de Los Ángeles.O.J.

I had a chance to talk with jewelry artist DeAnna Cochran, after she had just gotten an invitation to a TV interview on ABC for a show called Good Morning Texas. Tomorrow's morning show will highlight her jewelry line and her focus on "making a difference". DeAnna Cochran was my role model to start my own company, and she designed our signature Spread Sunshine charity necklace, benefiting Hope International, a non-profit adoption organization. Katja: When did you know you wanted to be a jewelry designer?DeAnna: I've had a love for jewelry since I was a child playing with my grandmother's collection of vintage costume pieces. I studied Jewelry Design and Metal Work in college but it wasn't until the birth and loss of my first son Jackson that I pursued a life as a Jewelry Artist. Katja: I am so sorry for you loss, tell us more about your son.DeAnna: Jackson was born in 2004. He was born 4 months premature and we lost him shortly after his 3-week birthday. We were blessed with anothe
Somehow, time has not accorded Eddie Cochran quite the same respect as other early rockabilly pioneers like Buddy Holly, or even Ricky Nelson or Gene Vincent. This is partially attributable to his very brief lifespan as a star: he only had a couple of big hits before dying in a car crash during a British tour in 1960. He was in the same league as the best rockabilly stars, though, with a brash, fat guitar sound that helped lay the groundwork for the power chord. He was also a good songwriter and singer, celebrating the joys of teenage life -- the parties, the music, the adolescent rebellion -- with an economic wit that bore some similarities to Chuck Berry. Cochran was more lighthearted and less ironic than Berry, though, and if his work was less consistent and not as penetrating, it was almost always exuberant.Cochran's mid-'50s beginnings in the record industry are a bit confusing. His family had moved to Southern California around 1950, and in 1955 he made his first recordings as
What’s up with all the African American and Hispanic boxers? Clearly, dogs and roosters that lost in dog and cock fights, respectively, were reincarnated as boxing promoters to get revenge. That is why Don King has that wacky fro.
A new meaning to the term “cock fight.” If I could draw, I’d draw a picture of giant roosters putting humans in a ring… they’d call it Bloodsport (but without Jean Claude Van Damme). You would laugh at that, but I can’t draw. So just picture it in your head, and laugh..
