Nine Women Rescued From Fake Reality Show - Like Big Brother

From our "Why Didn't I Think of That?" files? A group of nine Turkish women were rescued this week from a compound where they had been keep for two months thinking they were filming a reality TV show. Hah!

Nine young women tricked into joining a fake reality show and kept isolated for two months were rescued by the gendarmerie Tuesday. The women, some as young as 16, were kept confined in a villa in the Beykoz district of Istanbul and videos of them in the house were sold over the Internet.

According to reports, the organizers of the fake show placed advertisements in newspapers that called for “contestants to compete in a reality show akin to ‘Big Brother’ that will be broadcast on FX TV” and interviewed dozens of would-be contenders.

Nine were told they were chosen and made to sign a contract that stipulated that if any of the participants left before two months were up, they would have to pay a fine of 50,000 Turkish Liras. The young women were also told they would have no contact with the outside world, including their families, for the two-month period. Dreaming of becoming television stars, they accepted all the preconditions.

Video: Open Mic Catches California Congressman's Explicit Sex Talk

Although it is hard to hear at times, this conversation is definitely NOT safe for work . . . especially if you'd like to continue working for the people! Video below.

An Orange County lawmaker who inadvertently broadcast explicit remarks about his sexual conquests over an open microphone during a lull in a Sacramento hearing abruptly resigned from office this afternoon. Assemblyman Mike Duvall (R-Yorba Linda) stepped down after legislative leaders stripped him of his committee posts this morning and launched an ethics probe of his actions.

"I am deeply saddened that my inappropriate comments have become a major distraction for my colleagues in the Assembly, who are working hard on the very serious problems facing our state," Duvall said in a written statement. "I have come to the conclusion that it would not be fair to my family, my constituents or to my friends on both sides of the aisle to remain in office. Therefore, I have decided to resign my office, effective immediately, so that the Assembly can get back to work."

Drunk Mom Arrested While Driving Kid to School, Stopped to Ask Cop for Directions

The dumbass is strong in this one, but it certainly appears that she can hold her liquor! A .29% BAC . . . first thing in the morning and she's still able to move? That's some drinkin' . . . but probably not a good idea to be drivin'.

Police in Ferndale arrested a mother on a charge of driving drunk after she asked an officer for directions to drop off her 9-year-old son at school.

Dena Ellington, 45, of Birmingham stopped her Land Rover in the parking lot of Taft Education Center at 8:40 a.m. Tuesday to ask for directions to Coolidge Intermediate School, according to Ferndale Police. A Breathalyzer test given after the officer smelled alcohol on her breath registered her blood-alcohol level at .29, more than triple Michigan’s legal limit of .08.

The officer took Ellington, who had no prior drunken driving convictions, to jail while another officer dropped her son off at school.

Teacher Convicted of Student Sex Violates Parole by Hooking Up With Kid Again

We remember this story! The cops caught Margaret De Barraicua, 34, having sex in a car with a 16-year-old boy while her toddler was in the back seat. Sounds like they let her off with a slap on the wrist and all she had to do to stay out of jail was stay away from the victim. Oops.

A former McClatchy High School teacher convicted four years ago of having sex with a 16-year-old student was arrested again last month after authorities said she resumed a relationship with her victim. Margaret De Barraicua, 34, was arrested Aug. 28 and booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail for violating her parole in connection with the 2005 conviction, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department Web site.

De Barraicua was arrested in 2005 when police said they found her having sex with a 16-year-old boy in her car behind Leonard Da Vinci Elementary School in Sacramento. Police said De Barraicua's 2-year-old son was in the backseat at the time. While police questioned her, she admitted to three other encounters with the boy.

Teacher Arrested After Student Overdoses in Her Home on . . . Marijuana?

Dude! Imagine the size of the bong you'd have to hit to OD on weed!

Actually, the article says they don't know what the kid overdosed on (too much fun, perhaps?) but either way, this is not going to earn Lori Anne Jarvis the Teacher of the Year Award . . . unless it's from the legalize pot crowd.

Jail officials say a Radford City Public School teacher is no longer being held behind bars after being arrested. New River Valley Jail authorities say 43-year-old Lori Anne Jarvis is out on bond. Police say a juvenile overdosed at her home. Jarvis is charged with possession of marijuana and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Police said the juvenile was treated at a local hospital and later released. They haven't said what the student overdosed on.

Dumbass Drunk Driver Launches Car Into Second Story of House

A drunk driver got a little bit of assistance in making his car fly.

Like a scene out of the "Dukes of Hazzard," a driver launched his SUV from the road into the second-floor of a Long Island home early Saturday.

"All hell broke loose," said homeowner John Sarli, 58, who was sleeping at the far end of his E. Moriches house when the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee crashed through the front.

"I was kind of in shock."

Suffolk County cops said Adam Clark, 20, was driving drunk when he hit a dirt berm 20 feet off E. Moriches Blvd. about 12:20 a.m.

The Jeep flew 65 feet into the grand foyer of Sarli's two-story Victorian house.
