Sunday a slow news day
Shares of Corinthian Colleges have fallen 23% since the for-profit educational company disclosed that the SEC is investigating them. Corinthian runs 113 colleges across the nation, with 40% of their students preparing for careers in the healthcare industry.
Whatever happened to those L.A. Times commercials that used to be the only ad we'd see on a movie screen before watching the trailers and then the movie? I miss Trish Phelan and Dr. Roatish Rao. Sorry, I digressed for a moment.
A 22 year old man leaped to his death from the third floor of a parking structure in Old Pasadena. He and a woman were going up the stairs in the five-story building when without warning, he jumped.
A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin is denying claims by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft that Putin had stolen his Super Bowl ring. Dmitry Peskov says he was right behind Putin when Kraft gave him the ring and it was definitely a gift.
The poster for the movie "The Heat", starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy was photoshopped so horribly that you can't recognize McCarthy's face.
In Baytown, Texas, a carjacker messed with the wrong mother. Dorothy Baker and her two kids got back in their van and found a carjacker in the back who threatened her kids. She fought back and eventually ran him down with the van (claiming she didn't mean to do it).
"Man of Steel" was totally invulnerable in the weekend box office wars, opening with a June record of $113.8 million (estimated). "This is the End", an apocalyptic comedy from Seth Rogen and friends was a strong second with $20.5 million. "Now You See Me", "Fast and Furious 6" and "The Purge" rounded out the top five. Opening on only five screens, "The Bling Ring" did an impressive $42,000 per screen.
Jodie Foster has listed her Hollywood Hills home at $6.399 million. She's lived there since 1997.
The Miss USA pageant is tonight and while you probably won't see it, Miss West Virginia has a brand on her upper back. A small circle was branded into her back, by choice, when she was studying abroad in Tanzania.
In Vatican City on Sunday, Pope Francis blessed thousands of...Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The riders had gathered there to celebrate the motorcycle manufacturer's 110th anniversary.

An IRS supervisor says she reviewed "Tea Party" applications for non-profit status while she was working in Washington, D.C.; which contradicts claims by the agency that their Cincinnati office was solely responsible for the "targeted monitoring".
WalMart supported Obamacare, but now a survey of their HR departments reveals they are not hiring full-time employees, preferring to hire temps instead. The practice is leading to speculation that they are doing this to avoid having to give healthcare benefits to new hires, and avoiding the fines employers face under the new law beginning next year.
Ladies (or men who carry manpurses), next time you decide to go to an NFL game, be prepared to leave your purse at home. A small clutch, or a clear plastic bag is permissible.
