10 Year Old Escape Artist
Semaj Booker, the Tacoma 10-year-old who talked his way onto two Southwest Airlines flights without tickets last year, nearly got away with it again.
According to the Transportation Security Administration, Semaj made it through the security screening area at Sea-Tac Airport early Tuesday morning and was on the ramp to a Sacramento-bound plane before being apprehended.
Port of Seattle police escorted Semaj out of the airport and placed him in protective custody at 6:35 a.m., said Perry Cooper, spokesman for the port.
Semaj received international attention last year with a similar stunt. That time, he successfully talked himself aboard two Southwest Airlines flights and made it to Texas to see his grandfather
The day before, Semaj had stolen his neighbor’s car and led police on a high-speed chase on Highway 512, stopping only when the car’s engine blew because he had the transmission in second gear.
OK, someone get this kid a therapist!

Miley is in Big Trouble AGAIN!
Uh oh! Less than a month after Miley Cyrus made headlines by appearing topless in Vanity Fair, racy photos of the Hannah Montana star have again hit the net.
The shots, supposedly sent by the 15-year-old to her then-boyfriend Nick Jonas, could not have surface at a more sensitive time for the young star.
It’s unlikely Hannah Montana producers, Disney, will be happy about the newly circulated photos, after their heavy-handed reaction to the comparatively tasteful Vanity Fair shoot.

He'll Pay $5,000 for a Wife?
WELLS, Maine — Are you a female between the ages of 23 and 43, an outdoor type with a sense of humor, and looking for love? And, oh yes, could you use $5,000?
Charles Haeberle could be looking for you.
The 39-year-old Key West, Fla., transplant has been in Maine for six years, hoping to meet Ms. Right.
"I dated a few girls here and there. They were very nice, but they weren't the girl. I'm just searching for what everyone's searching for — a girl I can spend the rest of my life with."
Now he's ready to put his money where is heart is. Haeberle, a Wells resident and general manager of the Lodge at Kennebunk, took out an ad last week in the York Weekly offering $5,000 to the woman he marries.
So far, the York Weekly ad has generated only four responses. He also put the ad on www.craigslist.org, and is having more success there, although "we're just in the e-mail stage now."
He said if this latest effort doesn't work, he'll probably leave Maine.
Any Takers???

PBR Casket
Custom caskets can be pretty cool. They give a glimpse of what was really important in a person's life. In this case, 67 year old Bill Bramanti of Chicago Heights has prepared his casket with the defining element of his life: BEER.
"Rather than let his custom casket gather dust in the back room of some funeral home, Bramanti is using it. Shortly after getting it home, he filled it with ice and his favorite brew and threw a big party for his friends..."
