Oui! Oui! Oui! Whereas we deep-fried Americans are inclined to lounge behind computers and blog angrily ("I'ma break this fuckin' MacBook, y'all!!!1!) when news about Angelina Jolie and her ubiquitous brood overtakes all the other headlines, those fabulous Frenchman take to the fucking rues and let the world know they're pissed:
Protestors began picketing outside of the Fondation Lenval hospital this week, where the [Jolie-Pitt] twins were born on Saturday.
… Nice residents are upset the mayor has failed to address the case of a local murder victim in lieu of celebrating the American movie stars and their new additions.
Following the birth, Mayor Christian Estrosi showed off the children's birth certificates on the steps of the hospital, describing the birth of Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline as "a pride to Nice and all its citizens."
Vive la France!

By now everyone's heard about this nut in California who beat a toddler to death on the side of a road because he believed the one-year-old boy was filled with demons, right? Yes, OK: sad, shocking, disgusting—all of it. But did anyone else read that three or four cars of people pulled over to survey the incident before NOT DOING A FUCKING THING TO STOP THIS ASSHOLE FROM KICKING A BABY TO DEATH!!!!!!! This according to a police officer who arrived after the boy was dead:
What we got from witnesses is he was punching, slapping, kicking, stomping, shaking … They tried to intervene and get involved, but their efforts really didn't have an effect. The suspect was engaged in what he was doing. He just pushed them off and went back to it.
Um, really? They tried but the suspect was "too engaged" to be stopped? Wow. Allow me to quote the immortal Yoda here: "Do, or do not. There is no 'try.'" Got that, people? If you and two or three carloads of others see an unarmed man smashing a toddler into the pavement, everyone needs to get out of the fucking Hyundais and pile on the guy. If he's strong enough to push all of you off, then someone should hit him in the head with a tire iron until he stops moving. Then call the cops.
What the fuck is wrong with people? Is everyone really this scared?

A Plano, Texas steroids dealer has learned the hard way that it's a bad idea to fuck with the lives of undereducated, strong millionaires amped up on mood-altering drugs.
David Jacobs and girlfriend Amanda Jo Earhart-Savell were found shot to death in Jacobs' Plano home yesterday, just 15 days after Jacobs met with NFL security officials and gave them the names of players he said bought steroids from him.
At the time of the couple's murder, Jacobs was on probation and cleaning up his life after pleading guilty last year to conspiring to possess with intent to distribute anabolic steroids.
In the wake of Nick Hogan's eight-month jail sentence for felony reckless driving, sister Brooke took to her MySpace to speak out against the entire situation. Because — let's be honest — writing about how the justice system is flawed on the No. 1 site for pedophiles is going to cause some shake-ups. Brooke insists no one knows the real story and even goes on to insult Nick's passenger who nearly lost his life in the accident. If that's not going to win over the general public, we don't know what will.
The entire diatribe, after the jump.
Suge Knight, founder of Death Row Records and probable assassin of Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace, is set to star in a new project about his life and work called Unfinished Business. According to preview above, Unfinished Business will present viewers with eye-opening portrayals of Knight et al's strange business practices, which include threats, humiliation and acts of violence. (Not that these are unorthodox business methods, but rarely is the cruelty so straightforward.) Exactly what Unfinished Business is – reality series? direct to DVD documentary? minstrel show? – is unclear and unexplained in the video.
If you know what the hell Unfinished Business is, let us know. And everyone stay out of Suge Knight's way. He is not a nice man.
LAW & ORDER SENTENCED HIM WEEKS AGO "A construction worker has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of actress Adrienne Shelly, star of films such as Waitress and The Unbelievable Truth. District Attorney Robert Morgenthau said Diego Pillco had admitted killing her when she caught him stealing her wallet at her Manhattan apartment. Pillco, originally from Ecuador, could face up to 25 years in prison. He has waived his right to appeal and will be sentenced in March."
Dutch student Joran van der Sloot is backpedaling now that investigators into the 2005 Aruba disappearance of Natalee Holloway have tapes in which he confesses to disposing of the girl's dead body.
In hidden camera footage gathered by Dutch journalist Peter R de Vries, van der Sloot says that he and Holloway had sex, and that afterwards she began convulsing and died in his arms. Rather than call the police, van der Sloot says he asked a friend to pick him up in a boat and help him dump her corpse into the ocean.
With the confession now in the hands of prosecutors and press, van der Sloot says he was lying to "impress" the private investigator who had posed as a drug dealer to befriend him. While we fail to see what's impressive about finding a watery grave for a teenage girl who just offered you her innocence, we are in awe of the balls on this fucking guy.
THE YEAR OF IRRATIONAL DRINKING With 2007 skidding to a close, yet another entitled dick got behind the wheel of a car after having a few too many, thus adding to this year's already extensive list of celebrity drunk drivers. And this one ruined lives other than his own: "…Jim Leyritz, a member of the New York Yankees championship teams in the 1990s, is being held at Broward County Jail in Florida, after being arrested for allegedly driving under the influence and causing the death of a woman driving the other car in a collision."

…it was the unbreakable Hayden Panettiere who threatened to "kill" a staffer from Us Weekly over something she wrote about her in a recent issue. (Sources have since confirmed that it was this item that had HP's barely legal panties in a bunch.) Just when it looked like Hayden was about to pull a Sylar on said reporter's skull, her quick-thinking publicist grabbed her and scolded, "Not on the red carpet."
Nice thinking, publicist! Save the murderous threats for when that ho is alone in the bathroom—then it's on. And you make her never forget how hard those little legs can kick when toyed with in the funny papers.
More of this alleged thug under here.

Remember when everyone was so disgusted and outraged about OJ's book that the project's scapegoats were summarily fired and bookstores were refusing to carry it? Surprise: It turns out that people actually aren't that repulsed by it, as the book is seeing tremendous sales. This means big profits for big business, all based on big killings, which, of course, everyone still finds reprehensible.

Following what must have been a daunting two month investigation filled with God knows how many trips to Starbucks, Entertainment Tonight has broken the news that there may – or, y'know, may not – be a hit out on Kevin Federline. In fact, they're sure of it.
ET has several reliable sources that the FBI and LAPD are investigating legitimate leads on a contract hit on KEVIN FEDERLINE's life.
Multiple sources tell ET that the FBI made attempts to contact Federline to inform him of the potential danger.
When contacted, the FBI told us that the bureau cannot confirm or deny an investigation.
We're not sure who nor why someone wants Kevin Federline dead – or how it could be that the FBI is having a difficult time making contact with him – but this alleged contract killing begs the question: Wouldn't it be a far worse punishment to let him live?
