Justin Bieber’s Ex-Girlfriend Jasmine Villegas Threatened with Death by Crazy Stalker

Friday, August 5, 2011

Wow, big problems for Justin Bieber’s old girlfriend Jasmine Villegas.

TMZ is reporting that Villegas has gone to police to obtain a restraining order against thirty-three year old Steven Cintron who allegedly tried to pay some hit man $5,000 to have her killed. Not cool.

Cintron has sent her thousands of twitter messages and uploaded tons of YouTube videos threatening her life, family, and career.

Villegas says,

"In a couple of the videos, he has appeared holding deadly weapons, i.e. a gun, machete knives stating that he was going to find me, rape me, and kill me. He also threatened my little brother, my parents, and my current boyfriend.”

The singer has been scared to death ever since the problem started and finally decided it was time to call in the police when Cintron started threatening not just Villegas – but also her family and friends.

At one point, Cintron sent her a video showing her personal appearance and concert schedule saying,

"You're dead Jasmine. I swear to God I'm going to kill you. I will blow your f***ing head off bitch."

A judge in Los Angeles agreed there was a threat, and signed a restraining order barring Steven from getting within 100 feet of the singer, her family, her friends, or co-workers.

He was also banned from sending her any type of communication including phone, email, twitter, Facebook or YouTube.

Villegas, a 16 year old budding musician, is busy with her music career and has released her latest single "Natural" off her album "All These Boys".

Villegas is also an aspiring actress and was featured in Bieber’s music video “Baby” – she was the one he kissed in the dance off in the bowling alley.

She has also appeared in the TV shows “That’s So Raven”, “The Nine”, and “My Wife and Kids”.

Jasmine was forefront in internet rumors last month when news spread that Bieber and Selena Gomez had split because Justin was caught sending text message to Villegas.

The rumors were false and later determined to be just a hoax.

However, last year photos were snapped of a then 16 year old Justin Bieber kissing Jasmine in the back of a car on the way to a performance and it started a worldwide panic amongst his fans – and an angry backlash against Villegas.

So, I guess young celebrities can indeed have grown up troubles.

Be safe out there kids!

Antonio Banderas Bizarre Film “The Skin I Live In” Shocks Cannes – Video

Sunday, May 22, 2011

We all know the Cannes Film Festival is a place for the Hollywood elite to rub shoulders and sell movies.

We also know that sometimes these smaller hard hitting films never see the light of day.

This year, mega star Antonio Banderas and writer producer Pedro Almodóvar were at Cannes to unveil Pedro’s latest film project “The Skin I live In”.

Okay, so how bad could it be?

It’s not so much bad as it is graphic in nature and spirit.

The story goes like this:

Banderas plays the role of Robert Ledgard, a brilliant surgeon with a beautiful young doughter. His daughter is brutally raped by a man, and the young girl ends up killing herself due to the traumatic event. And Banderas cuts off, and preserves her face.

Okay, so far it’s not that bad right?

Later in the film, Banderas tracks down and kidnaps the man who raped his daughter. But instead of turning him over to the police, or killing him out of a crime of passion, he does the most shocking thing ever imaginable for a plot.

He gives the man a sex change and transplants the face of his daughter onto him. To make matters worse, he rapes the man and has sex with him – as a woman – now wearing his daughters face.

Told you.

IMDB describes the film as being based on Thierry Jonquet's novel "Mygale", a revenge tale that tells the story of a plastic surgeon on the hunt for the men who raped his daughter.

But viewers at the Cannes film festival became a bit shocked during the screening and started to walk out due to the graphic nature of the plot.

One group of Americans that had been flown to Cannes, all expenses paid by the director, left in the middle of the film and never returned.

One U.S. citizen who left during the screening said,

"It was the fact that the victim was supposed to look like the doctor's daughter. I couldn't stop picturing the girl in the beginning of the movie when he was in bed with her, with him, later."

The movie is expected to be released in the United States in November 2011.

This is NOT a chick flick, so guys, don’t plan to take your date to see it or she may never look at you the same way again.

Khloe Kardashian Comes Under Fire For Insensitive Rape Comment

Tuesday, January 11, 2011

Completely understandable! She needs to understand that using that term the way she did is unacceptable!
Khloe Kardashian recently compared the new security precautions being taken in airports to being raped, and in response, many organizations and advocates for victim's rights are lashing out the reality star for her insensitivity!
Jazmin Robles, of the Santa Barbara Rape Crisis Center, explains:


I think it was an ill-informed thing for her to say. It was a very strong comment to make because rape is defined as ‘forceful penetration’ and a lot of young women look up to celebrities like the Kardashians. We are all about educating people about rape at our Center and by using the word in this context it blurs the issue as to what it actually constitutes. Maybe Khloe Kardashian is not educated enough on this subject to be talking about it in the context of airport security.”
Attorney Gloria Allred also says:

Rape is a crime of violence. I believe that the word should not be used loosely to describe security measures at airports or at any other place. I think that many victims of sexual assault who have been the true victims of men who committed that violent crime against them and who have been forced to suffer the physical and emotional harm that results from that crime would be insulted that the term would be used in the way that Ms. Kardashian used it. Words matter and the word ‘rape’ should be used with caution and with great respect for the victims who have been forced to endure it. It is completely inappropriate to use that word for scans or pat downs at airports.”
Jessica M. Cavey, of the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, also agreed with the previous sentiments:

We do take exception to the use of the word ‘rape’ to describe airport security procedures, because that is both unfair to security personnel who have a different purpose for touching people; and it also minimizes the experience of an actual rape, which is a very severe and traumatic form of violence.
All very well-spoken!
We're not sure if Khloe was just trying to be funny, or she honestly didn't realize how inappropriate she was being, but we sincerely hope that realizes that throwing the word rape around is not to be taken lightly, and that she puts more thought into what she says next time.
Furthermore, it's important that everyone tries to take more thought when speaking, especially on a public platform.
It may not seem like a big deal to some, but for many, those words and what they mean have had a devastating and permanent impact on their lives.
Thoughts??
