Juvie Program Takes Bad Girls To Women's Prison To Scare Them Straight

A documentary from 2004 about female teenage juvenile delinquents called Girls In Trouble reran on MSNBC recently. The film takes a look at the practices of different facilities and the measures they take to try to keep girls from returning to the system as adults. One district has a program that takes juvie girls on a tour of a women's prison, and puts them in the hands of the inmates there, who are more than happy to scare the shit out them. And athough the program is controversial, since the inmates alternate between angrily screaming and catcalling the girls, if the girl in the clip above is any indication, it seems to be somewhat effective.

Marion Cotillard: 911 Is A Joke

  • Oscar winner Marion Cotillard has conspiracy theories! She questions the attack on the World Trade Center towers: "We see other towers of the same kind being hit by planes. There was a tower, I believe it was in Spain, which burned for 24 hours. It never collapsed. None of these towers collapsed. And there (in New York), in a few minutes, the whole thing collapsed." Plus! She doubts Neil Armstrong! "Did a man really walk on the moon? I saw plenty of documentaries on it, and I really wondered," she says. "I don't believe all they tell me, that's for sure."

  • Jennifer Lopez has indeed, as previously reported, named her twins Max and Emme. A reader points out that those were the names of the kids in the cartoon Dragon Tales. WTF? [CNN, YouTube]
  • Colin Farrell is hooked on Russian steam baths. "There's something very basic about rubbing honey on your skin and going steaming with a bunch of strange Russian men," he says. Well, it's healthier than drugs and alcohol, for sure. [UPI]

Latest by Marscinema: I love how instead of proving me wrong, people just say "facts" that they know, and mention words that I didn't even use...I don't know the difference between "molten" and "melted"...do you? Maybe you could explain how that refutes my more »

Posting Porn On Your Enemy's Messageboard Is The New Catfight In The Cafeteria!

Over at WWD, there's a story on the storm brewing around dueling teen-magazine messageboards. Although YM folded in 2004, YM.com is alive and well, because that magazine's subscribers were moved to the Teen Vogue database. Since then, things have gotten, well, a little scratchy! To wit: A YM poster called Teen Vogue readers "rich girls mostly who don't give a blank about anyone but themselves and their credit cards." Then, a Teen Vogue poster wrote "the YMers don't have a heart, they are jealous of us because we have style, and they do not." Me-ouch! More »

Latest by YMer: We're not that mean---promise. We're all in a whirl because WWD actually acknowledged our petty message boards. I think it's pretty funny that someone like Anna Wintour could have read that. more »
