It’s starting to look like Hayden Panettiere really is a hero. The popular ‘Heroes’ actress participated with other activists in trying to protect dolphins at a dolphin hunt off the coast of Japan. Now, there has apparently been a warrant issued for Hayden’s arrest. Still, the young actress said she’d do it again, to try and protect the dolphins.
Trouble began for Panettiere in October when she and other activists paddled their surfboards out in the sea to try and protect a pod of dolphins from fishermen attempting to kill them. On their way to the pod, they were stopped by a fishing boat and a man who kept thrusting a metal pole at them. The dolphins, widely believed to be the most peaceful and kind mammals in the sea, were slaughtered and Hayden appeared on television looking disheveled and crying. Further fueling the debate is the supposed health risks or lack of benefits that come from dolphin meat (it is high in mercury, which can be quite harmful). Still, fishermen say there is a market for the meat and a tradition behind the hunt.

Everybody’s favorite drug using record breaker may be ending up in the slammer instead of in the Hall of Fame books. Yes, Barry if you lie about taking steroids and they find out about it, you do get in trouble. Further insisting your innocence just makes you look bad. I mean, who else is Barry B.? It seems a little funny that his trainer just happened to have steroid injection appointments for Barry B. Bonds insists it wasn’t him. It must have been Barry Bottoms or Barry Booker. Yeah, that’s the ticket!
Unfortunately for Ba Bo….a grand jury simply didn’t believe there was another Barry B. who wasn’t him. Smart jury! There is also allegedly more proof of steroid use by Bonds, which has recently become available. As a result, he has been indicted. The charges Bonds faces include perjury and obstruction of justice. Bonds had testified before a Federal Jury that he had never used performance enhancing drugs, a claim that is being disputed.
Anyone who bulks up 240 lbs. and suddenly is a super slugger has something going on in their life. The indictment came after an intensive, four year federal investigation. Bonds not only just broke Hank Aaron’s record (unfairly) and was supposed to reign as the home run king of baseball, he was also recently let go by the San Francisco Giants. Wow…thems the breaks Barry. Guess you shouldn’t have done steroids and then lied about it, eh?

Who the hell is the judge in the Lo Ho DUI case? Furthermore, why can’t we get Kiefer Sutherland’s judge for her instead? A month or two in jail would do the junkie actress some good.
Lo Ho was ordered 4 days in jail and 10 days of community service. Allegedly, her debt has been paid as she served one day (supposedly) previously and got time counted for two of the days. As of Gossip Giants’ last Lo Ho story, she had one day left and more community service, but as of today, Lo Ho is claiming she has completed all her time served.
Her “last” day of jail time served lasted just 84 minutes. That gave her just enough time to give the sheriff a BJ and get all her fingerprinting and stuff done, too. No, we’re kidding about the BJ part (we don’t have proof of that one, but wouldn’t put it past Lindsay), but not the ‘brief’ time she spent in jail. Also, it is said she finished her 10 days of community service, but did anyone see Lindsay do more than the one day she spent working at the Red Cross?
The jailbird, Lo Ho turned herself in at the Lynwood Jail at 10:30 AM and was released by 11:54 AM. It was, after all, overcrowded, which is why she got away with serving just 84 minutes of her one day sentence. I’m sure she really learned her lesson. After being fingerprinted, having her mug shot taken, and all that other “official” jail stuff she spent a minimal amount of time in a holding cell before the sheriff at the jail let her go.
