Mmmm... Walmart booty.
A man has been booked with video voyeurism after admitting to photographing the backsides of unsuspecting women while they shopped at a Walmart near Covington, Louisiana.
He's baaaack!
Well, look who it is: former Dior designer, John Galliano, at LAX. If you recall, Dior canned Galliano in February for drunken, anti-semitic rants. Look who's on the receiving end now. You can clearly hear someone in the airport call him a "f*cking racist."

Let's hope Galliano's rehab stay was successful.
New Mexico Spares the Rod
Mother Nature Network - New Mexico narrowly banned corporal punishment in its schools, joining 30 other U.S. states that have already outlawed the practice.
"The decision on whether or not to use corporal punishment on a child is one that is best left to a parent," said Gov. Susana Martinez, who signed a bill banning the practice.
The ban passed in the House by a vote of 36 to 31 and in the Senate 22 to 17.
Birthday Betch
Shannen Doherty is 40 today. It's probably safe to assume that she isn't happy about it. She's probably raging mad right this very minute, hurling whatever fragile items she can get her claws on at the walls her Malibu manse. I feel sorry for the housekeeper. She's likely suffering the brunt of it. Poor thing. A moment of silence for her, please. Amen.

Louboutin Sees Red, Sues YSL
Famed shoe designer Christian Louboutin is suing Yves Saint Laurent for trademark infringement because YSL is selling red-soled shoes, which Louboutin insists is his creation.
Louboutin registered his red outer sole with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in 1997, however, it's not clear if the trademark covers all red-soled shoes. Shoes from the YSL spring 2011 collection also feature green, purple and navy soles.
In the suit, filed in Manhattan, Louboutin asks the judge to impose $1 million in damages and order YSL to stop manufacturing similar shoe designs.
Shoe wars! Wonder who will win?

Applebee's Serves Toddler Margarita in Sippy Cup!
FoxNews.com - A 15-month-old boy was rushed to a hospital after he was accidentally served alcohol in a kids' meal at a Michigan Applebee’s, MyFoxDetroit.com reports.
Taylor Dill-Reese, the boy’s mother, said her son started acting strangely Friday at the Madison Heights restaurant after drinking from his sippy cup what she thought was apple juice. When Dill-Reese tasted the drink, it turns out it was margarita mix, according to MyFoxDetroit.com.
The boy was taken to the hospital, where he was examined by doctors. The family later learned the boy’s alcohol level was .10 – over the legal limit for an adult driver. The boy was later checked out of the hospital.
"Nobody at the table ordered alcoholic drinks," Dill-Reese told the station. "So, he definitely shouldn't have received one."

Australian shoppers hit with 'try-on' charges!
News.com.au - Retailers are slugging shoppers with fitting fees to stop them using their "change rooms" to try on garments that they then buy online.
Customers at some ski shops are being slugged a $50 "fitting fee" to try on ski boots.
The charge is refunded if they buy a pair of ski boots in-store, in a trend likely to be mimicked by other specialist retailers hard-hit by internet discounting.
"Bricks and mortar" retailers want the Federal Government to abolish a tax break for overseas retailers, who do not have to pay the 10 per cent goods and services tax or import duties of 10 to 15 per cent on items costing less than $1000.
Assistant Treasurer Bill Shorten told a fashion importer this week that traditional retailers still have the advantage of customer service.
"Competition is about more than just the price," Mr Shorten wrote in a letter to International Fashion Group managing director David Mendels.
"Consumers might be able to find something cheaper online, but they won't have access to personal service or advice.

I'm fairly certain they don't, in fact, smell like teen spirit. They might, however, smell like three-day coke bender sweat, plenty o' cigarettes and expensive French parfum.

Sheen Loses in NYC
Another dud night for Chuck.
This time, it was Radio City Music Hall. Again, Sheen received boos, heckling, etc.
He ended the show 30 minutes early with this closer, "I love you, New York... you're the best crowd ever. Well, some of you."
