The judge who was presiding over Lindsay Lohan\'s case about the crime of something that nobody really cares about anymore, recused herself last Friday from any and all matters related to the hearings. Giggity giggity.
A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles District Attorney told People Magazine that the prosecutor \"raised objections about the judge having hearings and conference calls without having the DAs present or being notified. It happened several times.\" More specifically, Judge Martha Revel, changed the location where Lindsay was to receive rehabilitation treatment at the last minute and didn\'t tell the prosecutor, which apparently isn\'t kosher. Personally, I only know it isn\'t because of a special Law and Order: SVU episode where a judge\'s ex-parte communications with the defendant led her to kill her daughter. Oh yeah. Cookies crumble.
Replacing Judge Revel will be Judge Elden Fox, who sentenced Winona Ryder to three years of probation and to pay Saks Fifth Avenue around $10,000 for the $5,000 worth of jeans and slouchy hats that she stole from them. It\'s too bad Fox can\'t make Lindsay give back the coke she was sniffing and the vodka she was drinking when she drove her car into something. Truthfully, I can\'t even remember what all these charges are for. She might as well have illegally de-thorned a cactus.

Jennifer Aniston Battles Bill O\'Reilly Over Parenting In The USA
In her new film The Switch, Jennifer Aniston plays an unmarried 40-year-old woman who gives up on the notion of finding Mr. Right and contracts a sperm donor to have a child. Though it was plagued by distribution drama after Disney put Miramax Films up for sale, The Switch (which co-stars Jason Bateman, Patrick Wilson, Juliette Lewis and Jeff Goldblum) is set to bow in theaters nationwide on August 20th and its looming release date has headline stealing commentator Bill O\'Reilly doing his thang.
While promoting the film, Aniston acknowledged the possibly controversial subject matter of the story, noting that \"times have changed\" and that \"women are realizing it more and more knowing that they don\'t have to settle with a man just to have that child. Love is love and family is what is around you and who is in your immediate sphere.\" Well, all-American O\'Reilly didn\'t take kindly to Jen\'s views on modern parenting and retaliated with his own scathing analysis of the state of the nuclear family.
\"She\'s throwing a message out to 12-year-olds and 13-year-olds that hey, you don\'t need a guy, you don\'t need a dad,\" O\'Reilly said on his somehow top-rated Fox News show The O\'Reilly Factor, adding that \"Aniston can hire a battery of people to help her, but she cannot hire a dad.\" Unfortunately but not unsurprisingly, O\'Reilly has twisted the statement of a well-known public figure to turn heads in his direction, since his bullheaded political views make him more irrelevant as the days go by. The public is well aware of Ms. Aniston\'s financial status and her highly-publicized relationships with some of Hollywood\'s biggest stars. Despite her comments, she hasn\'t decided to crank out a fatherless child just because physically she doesn\'t need one. She\'s been waiting for Mr. Right for years and will continue to do so because she chooses to, just like every woman has the right to choose what to do with her body.
Continuing on, Bill stressed the importance of the male presence in a child\'s life: \"I think that men get hosed all day long in the parental arena...any man who leaves their children is not a man. Let\'s make that perfectly clear. But the fathers who do try hard are under-appreciated and diminished by people like Jennifer Aniston.\" Though I agree that having a father is a wonderful thing (I don\'t know where I\'d be in life if I didn\'t have a male and female influence on my upbringing), as usual, O\'Reilly cast a web of distorted truth over Aniston\'s statement and turned it into a man-hating meditation. Not once did she say that having a mother and father isn\'t ideal, she simply told the truth about the society in which we live - where approximately 21 million children are being raised by one parent and a staggering 83 percent of those households are headed by a single mother (via SingleSpouse.com). Nor did she encourage young woman to skip marriage and go straight into motherhood. She\'s telling it like it is, something that Bill should try sometime.
While I don\'t think that Jen has lost any sleep over O\'Reilly\'s attack, the elegant actress seems to have had the last laugh as she comically responded to his negativity: \"Of course, the ideal scenario for parenting is obviously two parents of a mature age. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs on earth,\" Aniston told People magazine. \"And, of course, many women dream of finding Prince Charming (with fatherly instincts), but for those who\'ve not yet found their Bill O\'Reilly, I\'m just glad science has provided a few other options.\" Beautifully said, Jen. After all, most women I know would take a test tube over bumbling Bill any day of the week.

Ke$ha Ready To Face Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga At The VMAs
\'It\'s gonna be hard taking the Biebs down,\' the \'Tik Tok\' singer tells MTV News about her Best New Artist nom.
By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Christina Garibaldi
Ke$ha will storm this September\'s Video Music Awards with four nominations — she picked up three for her infectious breakthrough single \"Tik Tok,\" as well as one for \"My First Kiss,\" her duet with 3Oh!3. But the singer isn\'t quite sure she\'ll be able to wrest the Best New Artist Moonman from windswept heartthrob Justin Bieber.
\"It\'s gonna be hard taking the Biebs down,\" she told MTV News. \"It\'s gonna be hard, but my fans — we can do it!\"
Justin Bieber isn\'t Ke$ha\'s only stiff competition on September 12; the brash singer is also up for Best Female Video against heavy hitters like Lady Gaga, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift. But she hopes that her fans will party all over the ballot box and sweep her to victory.
\"I have no idea! Gaga and Beyoncé and Taylor Swift — everybody in there I respect, so it\'s kind of like I have no disses to throw,\" she said. \"That\'s a tough category. [\'Tik Tok\'] was my first video, so that really is exciting. I had no idea what I was doing. It was my first time making a video, so it\'s really kind of cool. I\'m excited to see if I and a chance, but I think we can take them. Can\'t we? I\'m down to try!\"
After she found out about the nominations, she tweeted her excitement, saying, \"I don\'t even know what to say. I\'m so grateful and thankful and stunned and excited. I can\'t even put into words actually how much this means to me ... thank you to every single one of my fans ... I\'m f---ing losing my sh--. I\'m so stoked!!!!!\"
The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on September 12 at 9 p.m. ET. Fans can go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for the winners from now through September 12.

Buying a Car With Bad Credit in Kasas City
Buying a car with bad credit doesn’t have to be a big ordeal. In fact, most times, even people with the worst possible credit can still get car loans. It doesn’t matter if you’ve had bankruptcies, foreclosures, charge-offs, repossessions, or late payments, or even all of the above. You can still get a loan most of the time for a used car or truck. You just have to know where to look for funding and know that you will most likely pay a higher interest rate than you would if you had good credit. Armed with this knowledge, you can get out there and find the perfect car loan for you and your budget. In fact, if you make all of your payments on time, your credit will actually improve.
The best place to go for buying a car with bad credit is to your local dealership that has been around for a while, has a good reputation, and works with many banks. Be sure to ask up front if the dealership has a Special Finance department because if they do not, then you need to find a dealership that does. The people working in this department understand the requirements and usually have the necessary relationships with the right people to get your loan approved. If you are having a difficult time getting a bad credit loan, make sure the person you are working with has many years of experience because it truly makes a difference in whether you can get finance or not. If you cannot get financed at one dealership, then go to another dealership and try again.
If you situation is so bad that a regular auto dealership cannot help you, then you should be able to accomplish buying a car with bad credit at a “buy here, pay here” place. These are car lots that do in-house financing. Because they finance you themselves, they don’t have to go by the often stringent bank requirements that accompany traditional loans. You’ll generally need to provide a down payment of some sort, as well as a list of personal references, and will probably be required to keep a certain amount of insurance on the car during the time it’s being financed.
Some of these car lots advertise that they will finance anyone, no matter what, as long as you have a proven, regular source of income. That’s good to know if you are buying a car with bad credit and have credit problems. In many cases, you don’t even need a job, just a source of income, be it disability income, child support, or some other kind of government benefit payment. It can be really easy to buy a car with bad credit if you’re willing to put up with higher interest rates. Best of all, in-house financing is usually only for two to three years, so you can get your car paid off quickly and own it outright, thus removing any risk of it getting taken away. In these cases, going to a car lot with in-house financing can benefit you in a variety of ways when buying a car with bad credit.
So remember, start with the traditional car dealership that has an experience person working in the Special Finance department and you’ll get a lower interest rate on your loan. If you have tried a couple different places like this and still cannot get approved for a loan, then go to the “buy here, pay here” lot and get your car and loan. Either way, buying a car with bad credit is possible so have patience and be persistent in your efforts.
