WHY DO WE CARE?Model Tyra Banks, tired of a rumor that she had breast implants, decided to prove to her television show audience that her breasts are “real.” She had a plastic surgeon come on stage and perform a live sonogram of her breasts to prove there were no implants. Dr. Garth Fisher declared her breasts “au natural.”This breaking news is right up there with the runaway bride story and the ongoing saga of Jen and Brad.MAKING A DEAL WITH DRUGSAfter Brian Nichols grabbed a deputy’s gun and shot his way out of the courthouse in Fulton County, Ga., killing four people, he took Ashley Smith as his hostage. When Smith eventually convinced him to surrender, the national media hailed her a hero.Smith told police she had convinced Nichols to surrender by reading excerpts from “The Purpose-Driven Life” and discussions about God. Smith now has her own book out (of course) about how she really coerced Nichols to give it up. The truth: She gave him her supply of crystal methamphetamine. She admits to a methamphetamine addiction and taking the drugs just hours before she was taken hostage. Smith actually prepared the drug for Nichols. The now “clean” (she says) Smith said, “God led me to do that.” God also must have led her to the $70,000 reward – enough to get her ongoing drug counseling.HOW STUPIDA masked intruder awakened 10-year-old twin girls around midnight in their home in Vienna, Va. The man went straight to the girl’s bedroom, grabbed one of the girls and tried to gag her, which woke her sister. The two girls, who had been taking martial arts lessons, responded just as they were told to in class, according to the police report.The ruckus woke their parents, and their father dashed to their side and beat the intruder with a table lamp. However, he escaped but the girls’ mother recognized his voice. The intruder was the girls Tae Kwan Do instructor. Police arrested him and he admitted to the break in. Police noted his face was badly bruised.Hmmm … lousy defender but a darn good teacher.All of the above from www.thisistrue.com
