… Yeah, I know where I stand in the game,” Dondero says. “[It] doesn’t mean I’m not gonna keep playing. I didn’t think I had another song in me, but here we go again. They just crept up and wouldn’t leave me alone, wouldn’t let me sleep. I don’t even know where the hell they came from or remember how they got here.”
The songs come from Dondero’s own life. On a never-ending tour and living out of his car, Dondero has long trudged through the detritus of humanity, turning his acute observations and experiences into sometimes twisted tales. It’s a world populated by raving drunks, bored strippers, the perpetually broke and lonelyhearted. Dondero exposes this backroads landscape and all its emotional land mines on Number Zero With a Bullet. With each listen, it stands out as his sharpest and most inspired work.

Janine, however, is allowed to keep Sunny with her for the rest of the summer until school starts in Texas in August. She will be allowed to visit her and is entitled to spend at least one weekend per month with Sunny in California. She can be with her for the majority of the holidays, too.
Jesse has recently bought a $2 million house near Sandra Bullock’s place in Austin and plans to shift very soon.
Jesse didn’t comment on the verdict after he came out of courtroom, but his lawyer John Schilling was rather cruel on his estimate of Lindemulder and her habits.
“She is an admitted drug addict, stripper, criminal and porn actress, who has moved nine times in the past five years. The only stability she has had was when she was in prison for six months,” Schilling was quoted as saying by RadarOnline.

Travis County prosecutors won an early victory today in the battle over how much recently revealed problems at the Austin Police Department’s DNA lab will affect criminal prosecutions.
The win came when state District Judge Charlie Baird denied motions for a new trial filed by two men sentenced to decades in prison in May for aggravated robbery.
Joseph Foley, 34, and Michael Cooper, 35, were convicted in part based on DNA evidence found near the scene of a July 16, 2009, home robbery that linked them to the crime. The evidence, including gloves and a bandana, corroborated a co-defendant’s testimony that the men followed two women they thought were strippers from Sugar’s Uptown Cabaret to a nearby house, where they beat, shot and robbed some of the people inside.
Linda Icenhauer-Ramirez and Kiele Linroth Pace, lawyers for Cooper and Foley respectively, argued that the men should have received prior to trial a February memorandum in which Cecily Hamilton, then a police DNA analyst, revealed alleged problems with the lab.

Cavallari ‘molested’ By Las Vegas Stripper
November 30th, 2009
THE HILLS star KRISTIN CAVALLARI has unhappy memories of her last trip to Las Vegas – she was ‘molested’ by a stripper. The TV star was filming in a “ghetto” strip club when one of the naked ladies onstage decided to make her part of the act.
Bullock moved out of their Los Angeles home and purchased properties in Austin and New Orleans – the birthplace of her adopted seven-month-old son Louis.
This move to Austin puts James – father of three – closer to Bullock, which is exactly how he wants it to be, according to sources close to him.
However, James has publicly been hiding behind the notion that he’s moving to Texas for business purposes.
The West Coast Choppers boss owns a custom car business, called Austin Speed Shop, in the town of Austin.
Bullock has stated in the past that Austin is one of her favourite places, and it’s a town full of memories of happier times for James and Bullock.
A time before explicit details of James multiple infidelities with tattooed strippers emerged.

Lance Armstrong organised a team bonding party attended by strippers: Floyd Landis
Sydney: The three-week Tour de France race was rocked with more controversy involving seven-time champion Lance Armstrong, with claims of personal nature being made against him by former teammate Floyd Landis.
Landis, who was stripped of his 2006 Tour title for failing a dope test and who recently admitted lying about drug use while accusing Armstrong and a number of other cyclists of cheating, told the Wall Street Journal that Armstrong organised a team bonding party attended by strippers at which cocaine was used.
Armstrong’s lawyer in a statement has denied these new claims, and Armstrong himself has recently said that Landis is a habitual liar who had no credibility.
The newspaper article elaborates on alleged doping practices by Armstrong, his teammates and their coterie of trainers and medical staff – from alleged blood doping to the sale of brand new bikes for cash to fund the doping system that Landis claims was in place at their team that was then sponsored by US Postal Services.
Landis, who was stripped of the 2006 Tour de France title for doping, gave the Wall Street Journal new details about his use of banned doping products in a story published at the weekend and accused Armstrong and his teammates of receiving blood transfusions during the 2004 Tour.
In a statement sent to Associated Press through his manager before the start of the Tour de France in the Dutch port of Rotterdam, seven-time Tour winner Armstrong described Landis’s claims as “a carton of sour milk: once you take the first sip, you don’t have to drink the rest to know it has all gone bad.”
Landis told the newspaper that some of the bikes provided to Armstrong’s team were sold to help the US Postal team fund his doping program. He also alleged Armstrong organised a team bonding party attended by strippers at which cocaine was used.
Rotterdam boasts a temperamental ‘micro-climate’ and in the half an hour prior to the start of today’s stage, we saw a downpour, a burst of sunlight, some drizzle, a chilly wind and then a humid patch.
It proceeded to rain steadily for the best part of two hours, before drying up as the big guns set off. This meant that the stage was very much a raffle in terms of who copped the worst of the conditions. Bradley Wiggins and Andy Schleck were just a few who lucked out and posted disappointing times.
Lance Armstrong was in menacing touch today, finishing fourth overall and just shading his chief nemesis Alberto Contador. The last few days have seen him accused of being a drug cheat, with a penchant for strippers and cocaine and a disdain for stop signs and speed limits.

This might sound outlandish, but “motorised doping” has become a hot topic. An unnamed French rider claimed to have heard a “strange noise” rumbling from Cancellara’s bike, while a YouTube video showing how it could be done has 2.6 million views. It is serious enough for the International Cycling Union to have decided to scan bikes randomly before each stage in the 2010 Tour. When asked to respond, Cancellara spluttered: “It’s so stupid, I’m speechless.”
Cancellara also showed his superstitious side, with his intention of riding the whole of the three-week Tour wearing his bib, No13, upside down because he thinks the number might otherwise bring bad luck.
Doping of a more conventional nature was also on the agenda as the Wall Street Journal published further allegations from Floyd Landis, the disgraced 2006 Tour “winner” and former team-mate of Armstrong. His claims range from Armstrong entertaining strippers and personally supplying Landis with testosterone patches in front of his wife, to detailed descriptions of blood transfusions that have the pace and subterfuge of film plots.
