Soulja Boy 'charged for gun possession'

OHMYGOSSIP — Soulja Boy has reportedly been charged for gun possession.
The ‘Crank That’ rapper could face up to four years in prison if he is convicted for illegally possessing firearms found in his house last December, according to TMZ.
On Monday (23.01.17) the Los Angeles Police Department hit the 26-year-old musician with two felonies for possession of an assault weapon, after he was found with a Mini Draco AR-15 – which is illegal to own in the US state of California – and being a felon in possession of a firearm, and he has also been charged for allegedly stealing a gun from a police car.
On December 15, Soulja Boy – whose real name isDeAndre Cortez Way – was arrested for breaking the terms of his probation after police found a gun at his house.
The ‘Kiss Me Thru The Phone’ hitmaker was taken in by the LAPD after they received an anonymous tip off that he “had been threatening people online with guns” with the weapon stowed at his Hollywood Hills mansion, according to the gossip website.
After cops searched the hip-hip star’s home he was spotted at a North Hollywood police station where he had been driven to led by a patrol car.
Soulja Boy was originally to be released from his probation, which banned him from carrying weapons, at the end of December.
He was serving a 24-month parole before his arrest after he was found in possession of a loaded gun in 2014.
Soulja Boy caused concern for his well-being in August, when he posted a disturbing video on social media threatening an unknown person with a gun.
In the clip, he says: “Hey dude, f*** you and f*** Nia Riley. Stop playing me ‘fore some shooters be outside your house.”
He added: “Kill you, stop playing with me.”
Soulja Boy’s former flame Nia Riley told the gossip website at the time that he was hitting out an internet troll in the video and she would not report it to the police.
The American musician was previously arrested in 2011 in a separate case involving drugs and weapons.

Perrie Edwards' pet cat has died

OHMYGOSSIP — Perrie Edwards’ pet cat Prada has died.
The 23-year-old singer has taken to social media to pay tribute to her furry feline, who she had with her former fiancé Zayn Malik, and the blonde beauty has vowed her beloved moggy will “always” hold a dear place in her heart.
The blonde beauty – who ended her two-year engagement with the dark haired hunk in 2015 – announced the tragic news on social media, which saw her upload a sweet picture of the fluffy animal to her Instagram account.
She captioned it: “Can’t believe we had to say goodbye to this little one today! Always in my heart (sic).”
However, the ‘Pillowtalk’ hitmaker and the fellow Little Mix band members, including Jesy Nelson, 25, Jade Thirlwall, 24, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, 25, have yet to publicly reach out to grieving Perrie.
Perrie and Zayn got Prada together shortly after announcing their engagement in 2013, and introduced her to their fans on social media via a montage of pictures.
At the time, she said: “Say hello to the new member of the family, Prada 🙂 (sic)”
The ‘Shout Out To My Ex’ singer – who is currently dating 23-year-old football player Alex Oxlaide Chamberlain – previously admitted she struggled to find somewhere to live when she split from Zayn because of her pets.
She wrote in Little Mix’s book ‘Our World’: “After I split with my partner, out of the blue, I had nowhere to go, which was incredibly stressful. For a while I had no idea what to do.
“I thought about renting, but I’ve got dogs and cats, so that was no good.”

Jack Black compares Trump to Charlie Sheen

OHMYGOSSIP — Jack Black has compared President Donald Trump to “Charlie Sheen on crack”.
The ‘Polka King’ actor mocked the US leader for his “obsession with winning” and compared him to the troubled ‘Anger Management’ actor, who suffered a highly-publicised meltdown in 2011 which saw him fired from ‘Two and a Half Men’ amid bizarre public behaviour, wild partying and proclamations such as being a “warlock” with “tiger blood” who was “winning”.
Speaking during an interview at the Variety Studio presented by Orville Redenbacher at the Sundance Film Festival, he said: “We’ve got to start thinking globally. We’re going to be working together, if we’re going to survive, if the human race, if this species is going to survive.
“Yeah, America first is fine, in terms of finances, but we’ve got to stop thinking that way. It’s not a Monopoly game where the rich billionaire wins the game. It’s about the world working together, and it’s got to happen soon.”
His co-star Willie Garson then commented: “This whole concept of winning, what do you mean winning? At the expense of what? Winning, implied, is someone losing … this is insanity.”
Jack quipped in response: “Who else has been talking about winning obsessively lately? Oh yeah. Charlie Sheen. When he was on crack.”
And as his castmates and directors laughed, the 47-year-old star admitted it was a scary suggestion to think the former ‘Apprentice’ star and the ‘Young Guns’ actor were “on the same exact page”.
He joked: “Where are we where the president and Charlie Sheen are on the same exact page?”
Charlie previously blamed testosterone cream for his public outburst.
He said: “That was a very specific period of time that did feel very out-of-body and very just detached from all things real.
“I felt superhuman during some of that.
“It was a lot of highs and lows. I was taking a lot of testosterone cream, and I think I went too far with it. It was kind of like a borderline . . . not a ‘roid rage, but a ‘roid disengage.”

Charlie Puth was star struck when he first met Harry Styles

OHMYGOSSIP — Charlie Puth was star struck when he first met Harry Styles.
The 25-year-old musician caught a glimpse of the One Direction hunk when he was first signing his record deal, and got so nervous at the sight of the 22-year-old singer that he lost his appetite and “couldn’t even concentrate” on tucking into his meal at Sushi Park on Sunset Boulevard, California.
Speaking about his encounter with the star, the ‘We Don’t Talk Anymore’ hitmaker said: “When I first came to sign my record deal in Los Angeles. I was having a meeting with the record label in a Sushi restaurant called Sushi Park on Sunset Boulevard and Harry Styles walked in with my now-friend Jeff Azoff. I couldn’t even concentrate on eating, I was so star struck.”
And Charlie then made the situation more awkward as he tweeted his sighting, which led to a swarm of paparazzi and fans of the ‘History’ singer flocking to catch a glimpse of the British star.
He added: “But I ended up during the dinner tweeting, not at Harry, but just tweeting like, ‘wow I can’t believe Harry Styles just walked into my sushi restaurant!’ And then this influx of paparazzi and fans just from that tweet came in, so I was pretty embarrassed.”
However, Charlie has admitted Harry hasn’t held a grudge against him, but often brings up the moment every now and again to torment him.
He told MTV.co.uk: “We joke about it now.
“[Harry] pokes fun at me now like ‘You’re not going to tweet that we’re at this trailer now are you?!'”

Channing Tatum is finding learning to play piano brutal

OHMYGOSSIP — Channing Tatum is finding learning to play piano “brutal”.
The 36-year-old actor – who made a New Year’s resolution to “learn new things” – is now on the hunt for a professional tutor as he fears his attempts to teach himself the instrument are not going to get him to the standard he wants.
However, while he’s questioning his own abilities, Channing opted to “shame himself” by showing his fans what he’s learned already.
Speaking in a video posted on his social media accounts, he explained: “I’m going to shame myself into getting better by showing you, where I’m at. Two and a half weeks into learning how to play the piano. Bare with me, this is going to be brutal.”
He captioned the image: “Hahaha! Keeping my New Year’s resolution to “learn new things”. But teaching myself piano is brutal. Got to get some legit lessons soon.”
However, fans were impressed by the ‘Magic Mike XXL’ actor’s efforts at tapping out Beethoven’s ‘Für Elise’.
One user, lainey_d, wrote: “That’s good for a beginner! (sic)”
With another fan named baarbs_ramos adding: “OMG! I’m loving with that! (sic)”
A third user named trudih73 branded his wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum “lucky”, she wrote: “I think you did a wonderful job since your teaching yourself but it don’t hurt that your gorgeous self is playing it either lol your wife is a lucky woman.”
Channing – who has three-year-old daughter Everly with Jenna – previously admitted he has a habit of practicing things until “a point that is probably unhealthy”, especially if he’s nervous.
Discussing having to sing and dance in ‘Hail Caesar!’, he said: “I spent about three months preparing. It’s the most I’ve ever prepped for a six-minute section in a movie.
“We went over Christmas and New Year’s [in 2014], so I had all that time to let it gestate. I let it sink into my bones over the holiday break.
“When I’m nervous about something, I drill it to a point that is probably unhealthy, but as long as it works even halfway, I’m happy at the end of the torturous day.”

Lena Dunham worships Rihanna

OHMYGOSSIP — Lena Dunham worships Rihanna “like Jesus”.
The ‘Girls’ creator claims the ‘Work’ hitmaker is her “greatest passion” in life and she has an almost religious devotion to the Bajan beauty.
She said: “She is my greatest passion in life. The way I feel about Rihanna is like the way some people, straight-up, feel about Jesus.”
The 30-year-old actress – who suffers from endometriosis, a condition where small pieces of the womb lining are found outside the womb – admitted she and partner Jack Antonoff are hoping to start a family once she has enjoyed a long period of good health and their career commitments don’t get in the way.
She told Stella magazine: “We would love to have children. We just need to make sure we are doing it at a time where it’s not like, ‘Congratulations on your baby’, and he’s like, ‘I’m going to Australia for seven months’.
“Pregnancy is a huge physical change, and I have had such a raw experience with my body in my 20s that nothing could make me happier than just having a year of dancing around in my new, healthy body.”
Though Lena and her 32-year-old musician partner are very happy together, she is pleased they don’t feel any “pressure” to get married.
She said: “It’s not that I am against marriage in any way, but I do like the fact that we have placed zero pressure on ourselves about it.”
And the actress insisted she isn’t worried about getting older – just not “developing” as a person.
She said: “I have such youthful parents, who are still so engaged with the work that they make, so I never see ageing as scary.
“What stresses me out is not getting older; it’s the idea of not developing, of being stuck.”

Jeremy Renner's film advice to Elizabeth Olsen

OHMYGOSSIP — Jeremy Renner stopped Elizabeth Olsen feeling “overwhelmed” on the ‘Avengers’ set.
The 27-year-old actress worked alongside the actor in the ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’, in which she portrayed Wanda Maximoff and Scarlet Witch and he Clint Barton, and has admitted she would have been plagued with anxiety if he wasn’t for his advice.
Speaking to Vulture, she said: “My first day filming on ‘…Ultron’, I was with Jeremy and we were ushering like 400 extras or something and I was really overwhelmed and Jeremy in a very simple way broke down a very human goal about why he’s there, what he’s doing and where his goal was and really simplified it for me.”
The pair have also worked together on ‘Captain America: Civil War’ and most recently ‘Wind River’ and it seems their friendship extends further than just co-stars.
The 46-year-old hunk – who was previously married to Sonni Pacheco for less than a year – set tongues wagging over the weekend when he planted a kiss on Elizabeth at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival on Sunday (22.01.17) in Park City, Utah, during an interview.
The talented duo were being grilled on their roles in ‘Wind River’, which sees the brunette beauty play Jane Banner and Jeremy portray Cory Lambert, when the actor thought it would be hilarious to undermine everything his beautiful co-star has said.
He then giggled, planted a friendly kiss on her cheek and told her: “I love you.”
This isn’t the first time the pair have been romantically linked as rumours started to swirl a few years back before she was said to be dating her co-star Tom Hiddleston.
However, after weeks of speculation, Elizabeth – who is the sister of twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen – poured cold water on the rumours and stated they were friends.

Kim Kardashian West to launch Kimoji stores

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West plans to open Kimoji stores.
The ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star’s company have filed documents to expand her famous graphic-based brand to include retail outlets which would sell apparel, stickers, make-up bags, jewellery, accessories and other items.
Sources told TMZ plans are currently in the early stages but it is likely the 36-year-old beauty will follow in the footsteps of her husband Kanye West and half-sister Kylie Jenner and launch a global range of pop-up shops.
At present, the Kimoji brand is currently only available online.
In December, the brunette beauty – who has kids North, three, and Saint, 13 months, with Kanye – broke her social media hiatus to upload a raunchy twerking video to promote the new Kimoji merchandise range.
Included in the range is a selection of underwear pieces with ‘savage’ written on the waistband, FML fur slides, T-shirts, socks, phone accessories, and air fresheners to name but a few of the items available, priced from $6 to $65 (£4-£52).
The video of an underwear clad Kim was uploaded to her verified Kimoji merchandise Instagram account and marked the first time the star has been seen on social media since she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris in October.
Since the robbery, Kim has been adopting and embracing a more “humble” lifestyle.
A source said recently: “Kim is back to work and filming ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’. The new year has brought with it many challenges, but she has a new attitude and a fresh approach to how she is handling her career. Gone are the days of flashy bling, now it’s about a more humble lifestyle.”

Zoolander 2 leads Razzie nominations

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Zoolander 2’ leads the Golden Raspberry Awards nominations with nine.
The fashion follow-up – which was deemed a “15-years-too-late sequel” by awards bosses – has the dubious honour of being branded one of the year’s worst movies, while comic book blockbuster ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ is close behind with eight nods.

They said: “The crop of cinematic crap in 2016 was so extensive that this year’s 37th annual Razzie Awards is expanding the number of nominees from the usual five to an unprecedented six contenders in each of its nine worst achievement in film categories.”
Other notable nominations included Dinesh D’Souza – as himself – for worst actor for documentary ‘Hillary’s America’ and 2014 Worst Actress winner Tyler Perry, who is again nominated for the award thanks to his role in ‘Boo! A Medea Halloween’.
The Worst Onscreen Combination nominees also include Johnny Depp and his “Vomituously Vibrant Costume” from ‘Alice Through the Looking Glass’, “The Entire Cast of Once Respected Actors” from ‘Collateral Beauty’ – which starred Will Smith, Edward Norton, Keira Knightley, Michael Pena, Naomie Harris, Jacob Latimore, Kate Winslet and Dame Helen Mirren – Tyler and “That Same Old Worn Out Wig” from ‘Boo!

Peter Andre struggling to cope with son Theo's screaming

OHMYGOSSIP — Peter Andre’s baby son screams so much, he doesn’t want more children.
The 43-year-old singer – who has Junior 11, and Princess, nine, with ex-wife Katie Price and Amelia, three, and two-month-old Theodore, with wife Emily – previously said he was hoping to expand his family even further in the near future, but after the newest addition to the household has proven to be more challenging than his older sister, the ‘Mysterious Girl’ hitmaker is having second thoughts.
He said: “I’m not as tolerant with the screaming as I used to be!
“Perhaps it’s because I’m older, but my patience is a little less these days. Having Theo is still a wonderful joy, although I may have to retract my earlier statement that I couldn’t wait to have another baby by the end of 2017!
“As a baby, Millie was calm and relaxed; a dream child. My friend Carl, who never wanted kids, told us he changed his mind after meeting her. And when Theo was born, I was like ‘Of course, we are going to have another baby’, but now I’m thinking maybe we should wait a second.”
However, Emily, 27, insists the disruption to the household is “worth it” and is sure Peter will change his mind again as the youngster gets older.
She told HELLO! magazine in a joint interview with her spouse: “It’s true,w e led a harmonious life in our calm, quiet house, with everything sorted.
“Then Theo comes along and starts screaming constantly. The other kids are thinking, ‘What’s going on here?’
“But whenever we look at his sweet little face, we know he’s worth it. As soon as Pete starts taking him out and playing rough and tumble, I just know he’ll want more kids.”

Justin Bieber sells his Ferrari at auction

OHMYGOSSIP — Justin Bieber has sold his Ferrari 458 for $434,500 at auction.
The ‘Sorry’ hitmaker unloaded the spectacular vehicle at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Arizona on Saturday (21.01.17), where he and the auctioneer gave prospective buyers an insight into the car’s history.
The Ferrari is, in fact, the same vehicle Justin’s friend Lil Twist was driving on January 1, 2013, when a photographer was struck and killed by another car as he tried to follow the singer.
And Justin is reportedly donating all the money he has raised through the auction to charity.
A source said: “Justin is going to donate the proceeds from the auction to charity. He hasn’t decided which one yet, but it will likely be either Pencils of Promise, City of Hope or Children’s Miracle Network – maybe even a combination of the three.”
The insider said Justin has unfairly developed a bad reputation over the years, despite all of the generous things he does.
The source told Hollywood Life: “Justin gets such a bad rap but he has a heart of gold. He does so much to give back, and to help those in need, but people never care about that, all they focus on is the times he messes up.
“Honestly, people have no idea how much Justin does for various different charities. He has a huge heart and never stops giving.”
This comes shortly after the chart-topping star said he “can’t listen” to The Weeknd’s music and described it as “wack”.
The ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ hitmaker has been spotted romancing his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez in recent weeks – and Justin clearly isn’t a fan.
Asked if he listens to The Weeknd’s music, he said: “Hell no I can’t listen to a Weeknd song! That s**t’s wack.”

Nicole Kidman: I love being maternal

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicole Kidman loves being maternal.
The 49-year-old actress – who shares an adopted son and daughter with ex-husband Tom Cruise, and two biological daughters with her current husband Keith Urban – has admitted she relishes the challenges of motherhood, but has come to realise she can’t “take care of everybody”.
Nicole explained: “There is just the joy of being a mother; whether it’s being an adoptive, biological, or foster mother, or a mother figure.
“Keith’s always saying I’m so maternal. I like that. I am the eldest child in my family and so a lot of times the eldest child wants to take care of everybody.
“But I have had to learn that I can’t take care of everybody. But a strong pull in my life is my maternal force and I love it. I think when you reach a certain age you go, ‘I wish I had more children’.”
Nicole revealed she is especially keen to stay fit and healthy for the benefit of her two youngest children, eight-year-old daughter Sunday and six-year-old daughter Faith.
The Oscar-winning actress said: “My two youngest children I have had much later in life and I would just like to be around for a lot longer so I can protect them and love them.
“That is probably my driving force right now, to stay healthy and vibrant so I can be around.”
Nicole said she is determined to protect her daughters until they are old enough to fight their own battles in life.
The ‘Lion’ star told the Express newspaper: “Any mother will tell you this: I just want to protect them from the world right now. They are little, so you are always thinking about them.
“One of the big things in life as a woman is not getting yourself lost in that, being able to say, ‘I will do my things’, while at the same time the driving force is, ‘How do I protect them?’ It’s bigger than the fear of disease, it’s a primal instinct.”

Tom Hardy lost £2m on BBC drama Taboo

OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Hardy lost £2 million making his new BBC1 drama ‘Taboo’.
The 39-year-old hunk created Taboo Productions Ltd to handle the finances for the eight-part series, which he wrote, produced and starred in – but his first solo venture has transpired to be a financial flop.
A source said: “These new figures will make stark reading for Tom.
“No matter who you are or how much money you’re worth, £2 million is a lot of money to simply throw away.
“This is the first major TV drama Tom has overseen himself. He has written it, produced it and starred in it, so he was always going to come up against some difficulties.”
Accounts show that Tom spent as much as £10.4 million on ‘Taboo’, while its income reached £8.4 million, meaning Tom took a sizeable financial hit on making the show.
However, the Hollywood star still hopes to recoup more money through DVD and digital sales, while he can also sell the rights abroad.
The source told The Sun newspaper: “Tom will hope to eventually make the money back through DVD sales, downloads, streaming and syndication rights.
“As well as being aired in the UK and in the US, ‘Taboo’ has already been sold around the world in the likes of Spain, Portugal and Russia.”
Tom came up with the idea for ‘Taboo’ along with his dad Edward ‘Chips’ Hardy, and Sir Ridley Scott agreed to direct the project after the BBC purchased the rights.
Although the show has proven to be a financial flop thus far, plans are already in place to make a second series.
The drama has attracted relatively modest viewing figures, but is actually among the most-watched shows on the BBC iPlayer, the broadcaster’s catch-up service.

Mariah Carey's space cake celebration

OHMYGOSSIP — Mariah Carey celebrated the end of her European tour with a “space cake”.
The ‘Hero’ hitmaker was urged to unwind in Amsterdam by her creative director Anthony Burrell so she indulged in a “really nice treat” – a cannabis-laced brownie – at the Bulldog Cafe in the city, and quickly got the giggles.
She said on her docuseries ‘Mariah’s World’: “Am I eating this — what??
“…They have really fun places (in Amsterdam), especially this cafe, and it’s the Bulldog Cafe, and they have these, like, really nice treats there that you can buy and you look at the menu, and we don’t have that in America.”
And the 46-year-old singer was left amused when one of her dancers ended up “f***ed up” from their treats.
The dancer, Shaun, told the group: “I smell the cold. Oh my goodness, oh s**t!”
While Shaun was in denial about what was going on, Mariah advised him: “Why won’t you allow yourself to be high? Everybody else can clearly see that you are f***ed up!”
Elsewhere on the show, Mariah treated her now-boyfriend Bryan Tanaka to a lap dance on stage in a bid to persuade him to stay on the tour after he quit – officially due to a fractured kneecap though he also admitted on camera he was feeling “pretty confused” about his connection with the singer and her relationship with then-fiance James Packer.
After quitting by text, Mariah resolved to persuade him to stay and had him brought out on stage during her gig.
The dancer exclaimed: “I’m freakin’ out! “What the heck is going on? I feel pretty nervous, pretty shocked…I got a lot of energy going on, fluttering through my body.”
After the raunchy performance, the ‘We Belong Together’ hitmaker called Bryan a “really special person” and admitted she didn’t want him to leave.
He said afterwards: “It was pretty amazing. That moment when I got to go on stage for a second, it was a special moment in time for Mariah and myself. I felt like no one really understood what I was going through and just to get that little extra love from Mariah…I’m not gonna lie it made me feel a lot better.
“At the end of the day, I’m extremely happy that Mariah’s in my life. So if it just is that, it’s great, I’d rather have that than nothing at all. I don’t wanna go home! I wanna stay here.”

Laura Prepon wants small wedding

OHMYGOSSIP — Laura Prepon wants a “really small wedding”.
The ‘Orange is the New Black’ actress got engaged to actor Ben Foster, 36, last year after just a few months of dating, but they are already starting to plan their nuptials and doing their best not to get into arguments over the guest list.
She said: “We want a really small wedding but we have a lot of people that we love and care about.
“It’s weird, [but] apparently doing the list for your wedding is a whole thing that could cause some issues.
“[The ‘Orange is the New Black’] cast alone is like 50 people.”
But the 36-year-old star admitted their respective work commitments are making it difficult to set a date.
She told E! News: “He’s going off to do two movies. I just wrapped last week. It’s just, you know, scheduling. It’s a lot.”
However, Laura couldn’t be happier with the ‘Hell or High Water’ actor.
She gushed: “I’m happy. It’s amazing. He’s the love of my life.”
One person who will be hoping for an invitation to the wedding is the couple’s mutual friend Ashton Kutcher.
When their engagement was revealed after Laura sported her ring at the ‘Girl on the Train’ premiere last October, the ‘Two and a Half Men’ actor admitted he wasn’t happy they hadn’t told him their happy news directly.
He said: “She just announced this engagement, and I had to find out in the news! And she’s my friend! And it’s not just a random engagement. It’s an engagement to another friend of mine! So I’m double upset that neither of them told me! I got off the plane in New York like, ‘What?'”
And the 38-year-old star – who has kids Wyatt, two, and Dimitri, three months, with wife Mila Kunis – admitted it was even more of a shock as Laura had been so surprised to learn of his relationship with their former ‘That 70s Show’ co-star.
He added: “When Mila and I got engaged, she was like, ‘What? This is crazy! You guys, it was like 20 years ago. You were friends and no one saw this coming, and now you’re engaged and I have to find out this way’. They were friends 20 years ago! They’re all my friends, and everybody’s hooking up, and it’s weird!”

The 43-year-old photographer has underlined his love for the ‘Careless Whisper’ hitmaker in a new Instagram post, which is a photograph of a Facebook status from 2016 in which he gushes about his life with George.
The original post, which is dated January 17, 2016, reads: “The truth about me is and I’m really sorry to say but I am the happiest person I know and the luckiest person I know… xxxx (sic)”
Fadi captioned the image: “I miss him so bloody much .x (sic)”
George was found dead at his home on Christmas Day (25.12.16), aged 53, and the cause of his death is still to be determined.
However, the chart-topping pop star’s cousin Andros Georgiou recently criticised Fadi and claimed there is something suspicious about the circumstances surrounding the singer’s passing.
Andros wrote on Facebook: “I have been trying to hold back on this tweet I saw nearly 10 days ago but the more I am reading and the more I am finding out about Fadi I just can’t keep my mouth shut any longer No 1 he was never with Yog 24 hours a day they never lived together he lived in one of Yogs houses in Regents Park ? And even if they were, WHY were they not together on Christmas Eve ? and WHY did he sleep in the car ? Too many questions have come up.
“One thing is for sure this was not an act of suicide. He should of been looked after by his so called friends ! if I was around this would never of happened and I have to live with that the rest of my life I am so very sad as I am sure you all are as well, I have to pray that the police come to the conclusion I have and justice will be served.
