Police Capture iPad Thief Who Ripped Off Man’s Finger
A thug who ripped off a man’s finger during a brazen daylight iPad heist is in police custody.
Brandon D. Smith, 20, was arrested during a routine traffic stop early Saturday. Police say Smith was one of two men who stalked the victim, 59-year-old Bill Jordan, after he purchased a $500 iPad from the Apple store at the Cherry Creek mall in Denver, Colorado on April 15th.
Mall surveillance video shows the two thieves following Jordan as he walked down a flight of stairs holding a white plastic bag with its knotted cord wrapped around his fingers. Jordan said he wound the bag’s cord around his fingers as a precaution so he wouldn’t drop the pricey machine.
The video shows Jordan leaving the mall through an exit to a parking deck when Smith quickly walks up behind him, snatches the bag and runs off. As Smith yanked the bag, the cord tightened on Jordan’s pinky finger ripping the tip of his finger off along with the tendons, ligaments and muscle, leaving only the exposed bone.
A surgeon later amputated part of Jordan’s pinky finger. Smith is being held in the Denver County jail on charges of robbery and second-degree assault.
Thanks to tips called in from the public, Denver police already knew who they were looking for when they rolled up on Smith’s car at 1:14 am Saturday. His mother must be so proud of him.
Their Words, Not Mine…
LOL! Amber Rose looks like a walking cartoon caricature of herself!
From X17Online:
Kudos to Amber Rose for having the balls to flaunt her curves in a nude unitard at Guys & Dolls last night, but maybe next time she should be more careful about her nylons? Runs in your stockings aren’t sexy … even if you’re Lindsay Lohan or Miley Cyrus.
It’s A Boy!
Congratulations to my attorney, Precious Anderson-Scott, and her hubby, Kashka Scott, who welcomed their first child, a boy, on Friday, April 23 at 6:30 pm! The baby’s name is Jackson Worth Scott and he weighed in at a bouncing 7 lbs, 11.5 oz. Mommy and baby are doing just fine. I will post pics of the beautiful baby shower soon.
My most heartfelt appreciation and respect goes out to Precious for her diligence in keeping other high powered attorneys and their celebrity clientele off my back so I can continue to bring you the celeb gossip and news that you love!

Celebrity Seed: Quincy Brown
Kim Porter’s son and Sean Combs’ stepson, rapper Quincy Brown, was spotted sitting poolside at a Miami Beach hotel with a bevy of beauties including singer Teairra Marie (right) and rapper Hazel-E in the foreground (I’ve never heard of her either). As you know, Quincy’s biological father is singer-turned-radio jock Al B. Sure.
I’m told that young Quincy, who goes by the rap moniker “iQ”, was in town to host a birthday party for rapper Hazel-E. So he’s being paid to host gigs and he doesn’t even have an album out yet? When is somebody going to pay me to host a party? I need the money.
More after the break!
Celebs Out & About
I realize this is asking a lot, but can Pseudo singer Cassie put out a hit record so we can notice her for something other than just her lame hairstyle? Cass attended the ‘I Love Africa’ private send off dinner for the Riviera to Africa Run for Aids Awareness hosted by Diamond Information Center at The National Arts Club in NYC yesterday.
Rapper Drake performed live during day 2 of the 41st annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in New Orleans yesterday. I wonder if he got paid $100,000 for the gig?
Rapper Fabolous performed at the Power Live event at the Highline Ballroom with The Dream and Omarion in NYC over the weekend.
