Michael Brea Suspected of Decapitating Mother with a Samurai Sword

A news by 4usnews:This is as bizarre and as heinous a story as we could possibly imagine.

Michael Brea, a small-time actor who once appeared on Ugly Betty, has been taken into custody for allegedly chopping off the head of his mother with a samurai sword.

Michael Brea Picture

According to police reports, cops arrived to an "extremely bloody" scene at Brea's Brooklyn home around 2:20 this morning and found the actor holding a bible. They had to subdue him via taser.

A neighbor recounted events, as he/she heard them, to WPIX 11: "I hear [Brea] chasing [his mother] through the house and he's just saying a bunch of [Bible] passages like, 'Repent, Repent, Repent.' I heard him chasing her through the house and I heard a loud scream and so I have my father call the cops."

The victim was found with her head sliced off. At the moment, Brea is undergoing a psychiatric evaluation and then will be handed over to the NYPD.

Tony Parker Files to Divorce Eva Longoria

Tony Parker has filed to divorce Eva Longoria, even though the reverse had already taken place. This could very well mean a legal showdown in the making.

Tony's divorce petition was filed in Texas. Eva filed for divorce earlier in the week in Los Angeles, setting up a battle over where the couple's case is heard.

Texas divorces can be handled fast, in as little as 60 days. It's unclear if Tony Parker's Erin Barry sexting would be a lesser factor in one state or another.....

Tony's stated reason: "The marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities between Petitioner and Respondent that destroys legitimate ends of the marriage and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation."

Interestingly, they have a prenup, but in Tony's petition he writes, "Petitioner believes Petitioner and Respondent will enter an agreement for the division of their estate."

Since they've already signed a prenup, the word will is puzzling.

Kody Brown, Sister Wives Still Under Investigation

TLC's Sister Wives has been picked up for a second season. Whether prosecutors in Utah throw a wrench into it with bigamy charges remains to be seen.

Kody Brown and his four wives have come under scrutiny from law enforcement and members of their own community for broadcasting their lives on TV.

The Browns have been under investigation for two months - and counting.

The TLC Sister Wives

"We're in no rush to get this filed," says Donna Kelly, a deputy county attorney for Utah County. "You can expect a decision in the next 60 to 90 days."

Although polygamy is illegal, officials rarely get involved due to the sheer number of cases in Utah unless there's child abuse, incest, abuse or fraud.

"We don't go looking for cases like this," says Kelly. "But the Browns have definitely made it easier for us by admitting to felonies on national TV."

Kody recently wed Robyn Sullivan on Sister Wives, upping the wife tally to four. What do you think? Should the Sister Wives cast be prosecuted.....

No Decision in Mel Gibson Custody Case...

The judge in Mel Gibson's custody battle with Oksana Grigorieva postponed a decision until he hears more from both parties, which won't happen until December.

Both parties appeared in court yesterday not no decision was reached. Mel moved to strip Oksana of custody of their daughter, Lucia, and she was on the stand...

Mel believes her recent interview on Larry King proves her main goal is perpetrating a smear campaign against him and not acting in the best interests of Lucia.

Moksana.Mel claims he has photos that prove Oksana lied about the abuse she says she suffered at his hands. Grigorieva claims she and Lucia were hurt by Mel in January.

The custody fight is concurrent with investigations into Mel for domestic violence and Oksana for extortion, neither of which has resulted in any charges.

Dancing With the Stars: Jennifer Grey Makes Case For Crown Will Bristol Palin Win Anyway.

A News By 4usnews:Jennifer Grey has been a front-runner and fan favorite all season on Dancing With the Stars and was perfect - seriously, ALL 10s - in her final dances Monday.

Will that be enough to defeat Bristol Palin? You never know.

Bristol, Jennifer and Kyle Massey competed in two rounds of the Dancing with the Stars finals - a redemption dance of the judges' choosing, and freestyle. Jennifer and partner Derek Hough outclassed everyone. Now it's in voters' hands.It's very possible, given what the producers said yesterday about how the judges' scores factor into the overall totals, they were trying to pad Jennifer's lead hard core....

Not that she didn't deserve her perfect 10s, but after Audrina, Rick and most recently Brandy were voted off, you know the pros are pulling for Grey to take this thing.

On the flip side, Bristol's scores were on the high side too, but in proportion to how they scored both Jennifer Kyle. Here's a breakdown of last night, round by round...

Gabriel Aubry: Kourtside with Kim Kardashian!

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors 117-89 last night. Not exactly a surprising result, considering the talent gap between these two teams.

But Gabriel Aubry and Kim Kardashian made sure fans were taken aback by at least one development: these two sat courtside at the game, embracing the camera at every opportunity, as evidenced below:Aubry split from Halle Berry in April, following four years of dating. He and the actress are the parents of a daughter, Nahla, and have remained friendly since the break-up.....

Kim, meanwhile, claims to be happy on her own - but it wouldn't be surprising if she's dabbling in a bit of Canadian cuteness while single. What do you think of these two as a couple......

Jessica Simpson Recalls Eric Johnson Proposal!!!

Tears of joy. They flowed from the face of Jessica Simpson after Eric Johnson, her boyfriend of less than six months, proposed to her November 11.

Opening up about her recent engagement during a Monday appearance on The Early Show, Simpson called Johnson's proposal "a total surprise."

"I had to sit on his knee; I was too shocked to really get what was happening."Eric Johnson will soon become Mr. Jessica Simpson.

What was her reaction when Johnson, a Yale graduate and former NFL tight end, presented her with a ruby, diamond and gold Neil Lane sparkler?

"I first said 'Yes!'" Simpson told Harry Smith, giggling. "I didn't even try the ring on for 5 minutes," she adds. "I just sat there and cried with him."

Guess she didn't pay for it herself then.

She says she loves that Johnson went the unconventional route with her new sparkler, choosing the ruby, her birthstone, to make it stand out.

"I've already done the traditional thing," she sniffed of her ring from first husband Nick Lachey, who's also newly engaged to Vanessa Minnillo.

"I wanted to do something that was different."

She says Eric "had a plan a long time ago" to propose. "He had a [sit-down] with my mom and dad about it... He was a gentleman about it."

Eric is "the best man in my life... He is really thoughtful. Keeps me very centered. [He always] makes me feel like my feet are on the ground.'"

"He's the most special part of my life and my day."

All together now ...

Mason Dash Disick is Okay!

Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick received a scare on Friday night.

Following an allergic reaction to peanut butter, the couple called 911 and was advised to bring son Mason to a New York City hospital. Fortunately, there was no real damage and the family returned home after just a brief visit.It will take more than peanut butter and an attention-starved mother to bring Mason Dash down!!!

Kourtney blogged about the incident today, shooting down reports that blew the incident out of proportion and writing: "I learned such a lesson with this…to always follow my instincts and call 911. Always better safe than sorry.....

"The creepy part is…WHO took those pictures and video I’ve seen online from outside our house?"

We can't say for certain, Kourt. But such are the consequences when you turn your private life into a television show.....

Insane Producer Swears: Michael Jackson is ALIVE!

Music producer Teddy Riley has serious issues ... with the fact that people just ASSUME Michael Jackson is dead. Come on, people, it's a conspiracy!

Riley, who worked with MJ all the way to the end - or WAS it the end?! - has reignited a conspiracy theory after Tweeting that he believes he's alive.

Where is he? How would he possibly live in secret even if he did fake his own death successfully? Why would he abandon his kids? Not explained.Wherever Michael Jackson is, Teddy Riley wishes him the best.

Riley worked with MJ on his Dangerous album and produced the (possibly) late singer's controversial song "Breaking News" on his upcoming Sony album.

Riley wrote, "If people can think Elvis is still alive why the F#*@ I cant [sic] think Michael is still alive." Truly, no one can argue that kind of sage wisdom.

A fan then wrote to him: "Akon said he believes Michael is in hiding and will be coming back one day. Im curious to know what ya think bout that."

His take: "AKON IS MY FRIEND AND WE THINK ALIKE." Enough said.....

A Royal Wedding Date: Coming Soon...

No date has been announced, but multiple sources confirm there's a good chance the nuptials take place in late April.

"There is a date they have in mind, and it's a case of working it out with the relevant parties," a spokesman said.

But why April? A couple of reasons stand out:

1. It would be well ahead of polo season, a sport in which William participates.
2. It would take place after Easter and the preceding period of Lent, which the Queen seriously observes.

As for Middleton's life these days, she continues to meet with senior staffers. They're helping her settle into the unique, specialized atmosphere or royal life/protocol. Says an insider, making a major understatement:

"She will have all sorts of preparations in the run-up to the wedding

David Arquette Parties in Miami, Denies Flipping of Any Lids

Yes, David Arquette partied in Miami all weekend, living it up at the Fontainebleau, dancing the night away at LIV nightclub and being "surrounded by women" all evening, a witness reports.

And, yes, the recently-separated actor Tweeted photos of himself in Florida, including one of him with a male friend that reads "Enjoying a little gay dance [party]."

And, okay, Jasmine Waltz went on record last week with a less-than-flattering description of her time in bed with Arquette.

Still, the actor has a message for everyone: CHILL..I know people think I've flipped my lid but I haven't," Arquette Tweeted Saturday. "I'm cool. Listen to Bob Marley's "Soul Rebel" you'll know where I'm comin' from..

Or just look at the pictures above. The guy looks like he's doing okay to us, doesn't he.....

Taylor Swift went Back to December at last night's American Music Awards.

The country singer picked up a major trophy and also serenaded fans with a rendition of one of her "Speak Now" singles. What did you think of the performance...

Swift also debuted a new hairstyle at the event, posing backstage before and after the show with bangs and a noticeable absence of curls. It looks like the artist is aiming for a more mature look, which is appropriate if she really is dating a certain older man...

Classmates: Willow Palin is a Binge-Drinking, Curfew-Breaking Drug Dealer

Willow Palin's homophobic Facebook rant? That was nothing.

According to some narc classmates, Sarah Palin's 16-year-old daughter is an out-of-control party animal who once brokered a drug deal ... at 1 a.m.!

One in the morning! Sarah, do you know where your children are?!Several former peers of the 16-year-old have gone on record telling Life & Style that Willow "chugged" vodka at a party took part in a "1 a.m. drug deal."

Surprisingly, Tre is not among the narcs quoted by the tabloid.

Lance Nezaticky says he watched Willow Palin take part in a late-night drug deal in a deserted Target parking lot in her hometown of Wasilla, Alaska.

He watched as a male driver pulled up, with Willow riding shotgun. The driver bought $20 worth of marijuana, says Nezaticky, then handed it to Willow.....

It was definitely her, Nezaticky says. "There's no question. I had met her before."

After buying roughly two grams of pot, Willow and her companion drove off. "Willow had been told that the pot was really good stuff," Nezaticky recalls.

Another peer, Matt Scott, shockingly reveals that in October 2009, Willow hid herself away at a party and took swigs straight from a bottle of liquor.

Truly staggering revelations, these.

Imran Chaudhry, who was also at the party, confirms an underage Willow was guzzling vodka: "I saw her drinking from a bottle of Monarch," he says.

"She was chugging it pretty hard."

Hey, what's she gonna do, sip that crap......

Clinton Yunker Dating Amber Portwood!

A News By 4usnews:Fresh off being served with felony battery charges, and having temporarily lost her baby because her life is in such disarray, Amber Portwood is dating again.

Clinton Yunker is the name of the brave soul willing to go there, and he's described by Hollywood Life as "a young dad, a drinker, and an MMA fighter."

Good thing, too, because when you're in a relationship with Amber Portwood, you tend to receive a beatdown every so often. Just ask Gary Shirley.After plowing through a slew of young men in Anderson, Ind., Amber has zeroed in on Yunker, himself the father of a two-year-old daughter. Will it last?

Well the mixed martial arts fighter is nicknamed “Daddy Long Legs,” he's been in four official bouts, and according to these photos, enjoys Budweiser.

In short, we have no effing clue. But if fighting and drinking are two of his pastimes, he may have found his soul mate in Amber Portwood. Sorry Gary....

Detailing his dedication to theater in high school and working its way through his battle with Kris Allen, all the way up until the aforementioned AMA scandal and subsequent Glam Nation tour, the program is a must-watch for Lambert lovers..."

Von Maur plans Joliet store, won't open in New Lenox

A news by yahoofreeshop:Von Maur has signed a letter of intent to open a store at a proposed mega-mall in Joliet, while the upscale department store chain has decided against a store at a proposed center in nearby New Lenox.

The Davenport, Iowa-based chain is planning a two-story, 150,000-square-foot Von Maur that would be a key anchor for the massive Bridge Street Town Centre in Joliet. The proposed $1-billion development at the northeast corner of interstates 80 and 55 is to include 1.7 million square feet of retail along with hotels, housing and some office buildings.

"We feel like we can really make this a regional store," James von Maur, president of the family-owned retailer, says in an interview. "As our momentum picked up with Joliet, our momentum with New Lenox waned ... I feel like the Joliet location will be able to serve those customers because of the easy access from I-80."

The decision comes as a big blow for the Birches of New Lenox, a 1.1 million-square-foot mall proposed by Cleveland-based Forest City Enterprises Inc. Because of the slowdown in the retail and housing markets, the mall's opening was already pushed back a year to 2011.

Related story: Mega-malls stalled; Slowdown imperils Will County projects

A local developer working with Forest City on the project had said Von Maur had agreed to purchase its site there. But Mr. von Maur says the retailer never signed a letter of intent for the Birches project, and never had a binding contract there.

A Forest City spokeswoman and local executive didn't return calls seeking comment.

Mr. von Maur says the company remains "very much committed" to another big, proposed Will County mall: The Shops at the Polo Club in Plainfield. Sources say the retailer has a lease at the proposed 628,000-square-foot center, but that the project's developer has few other leases signed and could lose Von Maur if it doesn't get enough other retailers on board soon.

A spokeswoman for the Polo Club developer, Memphis, Tenn.-based Poag & McEwen, said in an e-mail, "Our deal with Von Maur is firm. They have a totally binding commitment with us." The mall's opening was pushed back to spring 2010 from fall 2009.

Mr. von Maur acknowledged that the retailer's contract with Poag has certain leasing benchmarks the developer must meet, but he declined to provide details.

Von Maur has three stores in Chicago. Its first location here, in the Yorktown shopping center in Lombard, opened in 1994 and is the top-grossing store among Von Maur's 22 locations, which are scattered throughout the Midwest.

The ambitious Bridge Street project is to break ground early next year and open in 2010, Beverly Hills, Calif.-based developer O&S Holdings LLC says. O&S has also previously announced an 18-screen Regal Cinema has agreed to open at the center.

"Getting Von Maur was critical," says O&S co-founder Gary Safady.

Mr. von Maur says the stores in Joliet and Plainfield would be closer together than is typical for department stores, but that he believes both can prosper.

"We think the area around there is really going to fill in," he says. "Chicago is growing so fast."

Of course, there's also a chance that only one of the projects will come to fruition — particularly considering the retail market and struggling economy. Even if both do materialize, Von Maur could still opt to open just one of the locations, says John Melaniphy, president of Melaniphy & Associates Inc., a Chicago-based retail site consultancy.

"I think it's unlikely that both will happen," Mr. Melaniphy says. "They're too close together. It's going to come down to where the specialty stores go. . . .Von Maur will go where they go."
