Wanted Man Arrested While Playing Pokemon Go Outside Police Station

Pokemon Go has been responsible for a number of injuries (below) and at least one existential crisis (also below) since it broke on to the national scene this summer.


And now it has also been responsible for an arrest.



Say hello to William Wilcox.


He was taken into custody on Thursday morning for an outstanding arrest warrant after authorities in Milford, Michigan saw him playing Pokemon Go outside of the station, which also serves as a Pokemon gym.


“He made our job much easier for us that day,” Milford Police Chief Thomas Lindberg told a Fox affiliate in Detroit.


Officers explained that the 24-year-old Wilcox was wearing pajama pants and standing near a flagpole when they recognized his face due to a rap sheet that includes a 2014 conviction for receiving stolen property.


Officials proceeded to look into their records and found out Wilcox was wanted on a misdemeanor warrant for a failure to appear on a breaking and entering charge.


As a result, Wilcox was taken into custody without incident just as he was attempting to catch a character at the flagpole.


“He either forgot that he had a warrant out for his arrest or was just ignoring it thinking nothing will happen,” Lindburg told WXYZ TV.


“I think he was more upset that he had to stop playing the game.”


On the bright side, the cops probably saved Wilcox from injury…



They also may have saved him from analyzing how his life has fallen apart in such a manner…



As hilarious as this story is, not every Pokemon Go story has prompted a room full of laughter.


Especially not any Pokemon Go story that involves people going to a Nazi concentration camp to play the game.


That is very uncool.

Megyn Kelly Accuses Roger Ailes of Sexual Harassment

Last week, TV personality Gretchen Carlson filed a lawsuit in which she accused Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes of sexual harassment.


Several Fox News Channel employees came to Ailes’ defense, but Megyn Kelly – arguably the network’s most well-liked on-air talent – was noticeably silent on the matter. Now we may know why.



According to a newly-published report in New York magazine, Kelly recently “told investigators that Ailes made unwanted sexual advances toward her about ten years ago when she was a young correspondent at Fox.”


Sources claim that Kelly “described her harassment by Ailes in detail” when asked about her working relationship with her longtime boss.


 The situation is quickly developing into a full-blown scandal for one of the most-watched networks.


Carlson claims she was fired from FNC last month as a result of her refusal to comply with Ailes’ sexual demands.


She also says fellow on-air correspondent Steve Doocy has a history of sexual harassment that’s well-known among the network’s female staff.


Parent company 21st Century Fox responded to Carlson’s claims with the following statement:


“We take these matters seriously. While we have full confidence in Mr. Ailes and Mr. Doocy, who have served the company brilliantly for over two decades, we have commenced an internal review of the matter.”


It was to investigators hired by 21st Century Fox that Kelly reportedly made her allegations.


Even before her recent feud with Donald Trump, Kelly was one of the network’s most high-profile personalities.


Viewed as likable and somewhat moderate even by those who don’t agree with her political views, Kelly has consistently been the network’s first choice for conducting high-profile interviews.


Many believe the statements she allegedly made to investigators will mean the end of Ailes’ career.


We’ll have updates on this story as more information becomes available.


Blac Chyna: Baby Name and Gender Revealed?!

Considering how frequently she’s been accused of getting engaged and knocked up as an elaborate publicity stunt Blac Chyna’s pregnancy has been a surprisingly low-key affair.



Sure, we’re seen occasional photos of Blac’s bump, and she’s certainly been no stranger to social media in recent months, but it hasn’t been the all-out media blitz that so many expected.


Of course, it’s possible she’s just saving all the good stuff for the Rob and Blac reality show, which is, of course, filming now.


If that’s the case, Blac might be a little pissed at her father, Eric Holland, who recently gave a revealing interview to Now magazine in which he spilled some details that had previously been kept under wraps.


“For Angie, the most important thing is that the baby is healthy,” Holland told the mag.


“They were really excited when it kicked for the first time.”


Then he dropped the real bombshell:


“Rob and I have had some one-on-one time,” Holland said. “All I can is, he’s excited about the prospect of a boy.”


That’s not a full-on confirmation on its own, but Holland kept the “she’s having a boy talk” going, saying:


“I said to Rob, ‘I know you’re just going to keep going with Angie until you have more than one boy, right?’ and he laughed. It wouldn’t surprise me if they went on to have four or more kids.”


Perhaps sensing that Eric is a veritable font of baby knowledge, the interviewer pressed on, asking if there’s any truth to the rumors that ChyRo plan to name the kid after Rob’s father, Robert Kardashian, Sr.


“They’ve chosen a name but they’ve not told anyone what it is,” Holland said. “They want to wait until the baby is born.”


So it’s gonna be a boy named Rob III. Got it.


Macaulay Culkin: Not On Heroin, But High On Life!

He’s doing great, everyone.  Nothing to worry about.



Macaulay Culkin addressed rumors of drug use in an interview with The Guardian, assuring concerned fans that he’s healthy, happy and living his best life.


The France-based Culkin, now 35, doesn’t understand why the public is so fascinated with him.


“I was thinking about this the other day – I’d crossed the wrong street, picked up a tail, suddenly there’s a crush of 20 paparazzi,” he said.


“Then people with cameraphones get involved. I don’t think I’m worthy of that.”


Back in 2012, a photo of Culkin looking gaunt and pale made the rounds on the internet after he and Mila Kunis broke up, and concerned fans of the former child star.


Do they have reason to be alarmed?



“Not necessarily. Of course, when silly stuff is going on – but no, I was not pounding six grand of heroin every month or whatever,” Culkin explained.


“The thing that bugged me was tabloids wrapping it all in this weird guise of concern. No, you’re trying to shift papers.”


These days, Culkin is more into music, though he has lent himself to a few projects in the past few years (most recently, Zoolander 2).  He’s also signed to star in a few international commercials, once of which features two meerkats who treat him as though he’s still young Kevin McAllister.


Coming from a past as turbulent as his (a heavily-scrutinized friendship with the late Michael Jackson, emancipating himself from his parents at 14), does Culkin have any regrets?


“It’s allowed me to become the person I am, and I like me, so I wouldn’t change a thing. Not having to do anything for my dinner, financially, lets me treat every gig like it’s the last,” Culkin said.


“If it is, I’d think: Culkin, you had a good run.”
