Steve-O: Sentenced to 30 Days in Jail for SeaWorld Stunt

Back in August, Steve-O was arrested after perpetrating a bizarre hoax designed to call attention to the mistreatment of animals at SeaWorld theme parks.

The 41-year-old Jackass star climbed a 100-foot crane in Hollywood while carrying a giant orca balloon with the message “#SeaWorldSucks” written on its side.

Once he reached the top, Steve-O began setting off fireworks in order to capture the attention of drivers and pedestrians.

More than 30 police officers and several fire trucks were called to the scene due to reports of a possible suicide attempt.

Once he climbed down, Steve-O was arrested for trespassing, setting off a firework without a permit, and conspiracy to commit a crime.

The eccentric TV star and stuntman was found guilty, and today he was sentenced to 30 days behind bars.

“Some of the resources on this hoax could have been devoted to a real emergency,” Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart said in an interview.

Steve-O also received 36 months probation and a $ 500 fine. In a statement posted on social media, he stated that he’s happy to serve the time if it means bringing more attention to his cause:

“Considering I’ve become a clean and sober, dog-rescuing vegan, I must say I’m ready to go to jail — not just because it will bring so much attention to the plight of orcas in captivity, but because it’s nice to let people know I haven’t lost my edge.

“What can I say, I’m a jackass. I mean, if your goal is to make a statement about captivity, you may as well get yourself locked up.”

Given some of the things we’ve seen Steve-O do over the years, we imagine 30 days behind bars won’t present him with much of a challenge.

Caitlyn Jenner: On Drugs at Time of Fatal Car Crash?!

Back in February, Caitlyn Jenner was involved in a car accident that left seven injured and claimed the life of a 69-year-old woman named Kim Howe.

After a lengthy investigation, it was determined that Jenner would not face charges for the accident, even though footage from the accident reveals that he was at least partially to blame for multi-car pile-up, and may have been driving negligently.

Of course, just because Caitlyn was cleared of criminal charges, that doesn’t mean she won’t wind up in court.

Howe’s family plans to sue Jenner for wrongful death, and they’re leveling some serious accusations at the 65-year-old reality star.

According to TMZ, Howe’s stepchildren are now claiming that Caitlyn was on drugs at the time of the accident. 

Police tested Jenner after the crash and determined that she was not impaired.

However, Howe’s family claims that new information has come to light, and they now have reason to believe that Jenner was under the influence of prescription drugs that impaired his ability to drive.

Jenner has repeatedly refused to discuss the matter publicly, but he has stated in the past that he doesn’t use recreational drugs of any kind.

There’s no word yet on whether the Howe’s suit against Jenner will end up in court, or if the former Olympian will simply choose to settle.

Awesome Parents Dress Son as Elsa for Halloween

Remember that supportive father who proudly bought his son a Barbie doll?

Paul Henson and Ashley Ramage have now gone one impressive step further.

The parents of three-year old Caiden shared a picture on Facebook this week of their son’s Halloween costume, surprising friends and family members with the reveal that Caiden will be trick-or-treating as Elsa from Frozen.

Yes, Elsa is a girl. Yes, Caiden is a boy. Got a problem with that?!?

The toddler’s parents do not.

“It’s important for children to know that their parents will stand by them no matter what,” Paul explains to The Huffington Post.

“Ashley and I will do whatever it takes to keep our son happy and not take his innocence and imagination from him.”

Amen, Ramage basically says, adding that parents should never stifle the growth or development of their kids via gender-based thinking.

“I want other parents to realize that gender stereotypes are taught and learned behaviors,” she says.

“At three years old, kids are still developing, exploring and discovering. As parents we shouldn’t discourage their individuality.”

What do you think, readers? Is this progressing parenting that has gone too far?

Or progressive parenting that ought to be applauded?
