Justin Bieber Molests Fan? Bogus Rumor, People

This morning, everyone seems to be searching for "Justin Bieber Molests Fan," thanks to a nasty combination of web rumormongering and the teen sensation innocently posting a photo showing him in handcuffs.

Bieber posted a photo from the set of CSI of himself in jail jumpsuit and handcuffs on Sunday, tweeting that he was a "bad man" and how he had "such a great day" during his first TV acting gig. Little did he know that his perp walk photo would go from TV to salacious web rumor in just minutes.

Before Bieber knew it, a Twitter rumor was born, and "Justin Bieber Molests Fan" was number one on Google Trends.

Web rumors are nothing new for Bieber. Just last month, a similar hoax was spreading around claiming the 16-year-old was converting to Scientology and was also a holocaust denier. That, much like today's rumor du jour, was totally unfounded and untrue.

Roto Alert: Cliff Lee Headed to Texas; Justin Smoak to Seattle

When it looked like a Cliff Lee-to-New York deal was just about complete, the baseball world was ready to let out a collective groan. "The Yankees did it again." Instead, the Texas Rangers swooped in and grabbed Lee, trading for the All-Star pitcher on Friday in a six-player deal. Acquiring one of baseball's best pitchers via trade never comes cheap, and this time was no exception, as the Rangers had to pony up rookie slugger Justin Smoak to land Lee.

Fantasy baseball owners are likely bemoaning the deal on both sides. Lee was having an outstanding year in Seattle, pitching home games in a park that has always been very forgiving for pitchers. Smoak was set up to spend the next six years (or more) in a great hitting environment and a great lineup in Texas. Now, Lee heads to a hitters' park while Smoak ships off to a pitchers' park. Should you trade for either of these guys, or get rid of them in a hurry?

First off, Lee doesn't require a "sky is falling" mentality just cause he's moved to a worse park. He's in the middle of an amazing season, having struck out 89 batters in 103.2 innings while walking six guys. Yes, you read that correctly -- six! He does have an excellent 2.47 ERA and 0.95 WHIP at home, but he also has a 2.24 ERA and 0.94 WHIP on the road. His dominance clearly isn't due to the park he calls home. With his elite stuff on the mound, Lee will be fine in Texas, just as he would have been fine in New York or any other stadium. If you can take advantage of a Lee owner's panic at the move to Arlington, do it immediately.

The best thing you can say about Smoak is that he's done just as much damage on the road this year as he has at home. Unfortunately, that's about all you can say. Smoak's likely to hit for less power playing half his games in Seattle than he would have in Texas. Also, he'll have to deal with a playing time crunch between him, Russell Branyan and Casey Kotchman. That could have spelled doom for Smoak's fantasy season, as he's hitting just .139/.207/.266 against lefties and would be prime for a platoon. Lucky for him, Branyan and Kotchman are both lefties and neither are doing anything against left-handers themselves.

Of course, the Mariners could decide to send Smoak down to the minor leagues while Branyan plays out his contract. If that happens, Smoak can obviously be dumped in fantasy leagues. Even if it doesn't happen, he shouldn't be in the lineup in normal one-1B, no-CI leagues, and his value as a corner infielder in other leagues has dropped. For re-draft leagues, I'd cross my fingers that he has a great first week after the All-Star Break, then I'd deal him away for any kind of value. Dynasty leaguers with Smoak (myself among them) have a tough decision ahead. I think he has enough talent to eventually be successful, so I'd hang on to the youngster for now and see how he progresses. Obviously, Lee should be grasped dearly to the chest of his fantasy owners, Texas Ranger or no.

Justin Rose of England captured his first career U.S. PGA Tour title with a three-shot victory over Rickie Fowler at golf’s Memorial Tournament.

Rose, 29, trailed the 21-year-old Fowler by four strokes entering the final round and closed with a 6-under-par 66 at Jack Nicklaus’s Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio.

Rose, who is 66th in the world golf ranking, finished 18- under for the tournament and receives $1.08 million. Rose’s five previous titles came outside the U.S., where he had five top-10 finishes in the past three years, including a runner-up showing at the Memorial in 2008.

“I’ve had a few close calls over time and you start to sometimes wonder why you can’t get it done,” Rose, who was playing his 162nd PGA Tour event, said in a televised interview. “It’s nice to have the hard work pay off.”

Fowler, a rookie making his 24th PGA Tour start, finished 15-under after a final-round 73.

Bo Van Pelt and Ricky Barnes tied for third place at 12- under par, one shot better than Phil Mickelson, Ryan Moore and Tim Petrovic.

Defending champion Tiger Woods tied for 19th at 6-under in his first event following a three-week layoff due to a neck injury. He shot rounds of 72, 69, 69 and 72 in his final tune-up before the U.S. Open.

The PGA Tour next moves to Memphis, Tennessee, for the $5.6 million St. Jude Classic at TPC Southwind from June 10-13. It’s the final event before the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach Golf Links in California. The season’s second major championship begins June 17.

Justin Frye Exposed in Kendra Wilkinson Video Tape Scandal

Kendra Wilkinson and her ex-boyfriend Justin Frye are in the whole explicit movie scandal together, as RadarOnline revealed today. In spite of the fact that Kendra has loudly declaimed any involvement in this tape being released, and protested its sale…it turns out that she gets up to 50% of the proceeds, and that Justin Frye was paid $100,000 for the tape by Vivid Entertainment.
Apparently, Kendra and Justin Frye made this tape together, then she left it behind when she went to live in the Hefner mansion. Whoopsie! Never leave tapes like that behind!
Waiting until Kendra became famous and the price would be at its highest, Justin Frye sold the tape — but Kendra gets as much as half of the money made on sales. So hopefully this doesn’t cost her marriage and family, as it surely won’t be enough money to make up for that!

Ashley Olsen & Justin Bartha’s Plane Grounded By Cockpit Fire

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Ashley Olsen and her boyfriend, “Hangover” star Justin Bartha, were passengers on a flight that was suddenly grounded on Sunday night after a fire broke out in the cockpit.

The couple was aboard United Flight 27, en route from New York to Los Angeles, when it was forced to make an emergency landing at Dulles International Airport, outside Washington D.C.

An Access Hollywood source was also aboard the flight and recounted the harrowing experience.

“I was in the back of the plane and it started to smell like smoke or maybe a burning rubber smell and we didn’t know what it was,” the source told Access. “And then the pilot came on and said, ‘This is not a standard procedure…we’ll be making a landing at Dulles, and the situation is under control.’ Everybody in the back of the plane was a little bit freaked out.”

The source said a flight attendant was seen getting a fire extinguisher and bringing it towards the front of the plane. The flight attendant then told the passengers, “Everybody calm down, it’s fine, it’s fine…it’s OK.”

As the plane prepared to land, the source said fire trucks could be seen “all over the runway.”

Access’ source said firefighters then boarded the plane and told the passengers and crew, “the fire is out.”

Passengers then left the plane and made their way to the airport terminal, where the source said a first-class passenger explained that when the flight attendant opened the door that they were able to see flames in the cockpit of the plane.

Ashley and Justin were spotted in the terminal with the rest of the plane’s passengers. The actress was seen sitting with a dog in her lap. She appeared somewhat shaken by the events, but seemed to be relieved.

When Access’s source boarded a make-up flight on Monday from Dulles to Los Angeles, Ashley and Justin were spotted in the first class section of the plane. The actress was wearing a large hat and sunglasses

Access’ source stressed that the crew of United Flight 27 acted heroically in the face of a crisis.

“They saved our lives,” the source said.

Los Angeles based publicist Phil Lobel, who was also on the flight, echoed the source’s statement about the crew’s fine work, telling Access, “We are thankful for the skills of the flight crews — especially the pilots that landed us without being [able] to see anything through the cracked windshield. [They] got us home safely.”

On Monday, the FAA released a statement saying that the fire was contained by the time the flight landed and the cause has yet to be determined.
