Karl Rove announced today that he would be resigning later this month on August 31st. Rove will leave his White House chief of staff position as one of the few remaining members of George W. Bush's original cabinet members that followed him to the White House in 2001. He is known as a bare-knuckle politician who holds the title of being Bush's longest-serving and closest aide. During the announcement today Rove's voice broke many times, betraying the obvious emotional undertow that the announcement had. George W. Bush stood behind his aide the entire time, patting him on the back encouragingly.A bridge that was currently under construction in central China collapsed today killing 14 and injuring 22. The bridge, which spanned the Jiantuo River, was built as a terrorist attraction. Construction workers were removing scaffolding from the structure when it randomly collapsed on Monday. 65 people remain missing from the collapse, most of which were local farmers who had been recruited...

The speculation on Lindsay Lohan's location has finally ended. TMZ.com has managed to locate the red-headed starlet is currently undergoing treatments at Cirque in Orem, Utah (above image) which is considered to be the most hardcore rehab facility in the U.S. The facility is run by Mormons who reports that Lindsay has been a "model patient" and is receiving no special treatment whatsoever. Sources inside of the facility are reporting that Lindsay has been attending 12-step meetings very day as well as other group therapy sessions. She is not in a private room and instead has two roommates. When not sleeping or in meetings she can be found cleaning dishes, toilets and doing laundry. Word also has it that before Lindsay admitted herself to Cirque she underwent an intense medical detox program for eight days. Cleaning toilets, dishes, doing laundry and not partying every night...apparently the best medicine for an out of control actress is living like a normal person.Speaking of peopl...

After much speculation, David Beckham actually played a full game (ok, just 20 minutes) with the LA Galaxy team yesterday in Washington, D.C. The Galaxy lost the game 1-0 but won plenty of media attention because of Beckham's play and the fact that he did most of it shirtless. Over 47,000 soccer fans packed RFK stadium last night, causing the largest crowd in the arena since 2001. Fans, both male and female, went crazy the second Beckham began to remove his top. After the game Beckham had this to say:"The huge display of approval puts [into perspective] all the frustration I've had since I arrived at the Galaxy of not being able to train with the players, stepping out and seeing the reaction.""It's a big step forward for me tonight, getting 20 minutes. I was happy with that."This is rumor, first and foremost, so don't go blabbing it to all the idiots at the water cooler just yet. According to OK! Magazine, Lindsay Lohan may be pregnant. One of Lindsay's close friends has appare...

Motiveless Crime Announcements
2007-08-10 06:32:00
I'm sure plenty of readers have noticed that Motiveless Crime has been on autopilot lately. I'm to blame for this mainly because of personal issues that are of no consequence to this forum's following. Our subscribers have grown, as have the returning visitors, which is a sign that we are hitting a mark with what is posted here. At the same time there will always be room for growth. After testing out a number of blog additions, including widgets and segments, many changes are coming in the next day.After much consideration the MyBlogLog addition to the site has been removed. It appears that this interesting idea at interactive social networking is a bit too involved for most readers and it has therefore been removed to lower the clutter in the right pane.Eventually the site will be moving into a new template, but that is still in the air. The Digg button that had formerly been placed in the top right hand corner of every post has now been removed entirely and has been replaced wi...

Paris Hilton has told People Magazine that she believes Nicole Richie will be "the best mom ever." Mothers of the world unite! The devil has stripped you of your pride and put you below Nicole-the-no-talent-Richie! First of all, Nicole can barely eat enough food to keep her skin hanging on her body, much less enough to feed the child inside of her. Also, look at the father, obviously she has no taste. And if being the best mother in the world means hiring multiple nannies so that you can go out partying while your child cries for you in the night, then Britney Spears is already the best mom in the world.David Beckham may, I repeat MAY, play in tonight's LA Galaxy in Washington, D.C. Yesterday Beckham was seen practicing in Washington's DFK Stadium and then he held a press conference to discuss his injury where he stated that his ankle "is looking up. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel." Of course he also left a backdoor clause (Tom Cruise, calm down--that isn't what I m...

It is getting harder and harder to type out those roman numerals on the end of this segment. I'm starting to consider cutting them simply to make my life that much simpler. In case you are just joining us, this is Some thing Before Bed, a nightly segment that supplies something fun, dramatic or just plain entertaining on a regular basis. You never know what you might get here, so enjoy.Ironically this humorous video made me wish that Bush really did want to go after zombies. At least then we would know who the real enemy is. And besides, if they are brain-eating zombies, doesn't that make George safe? Having a brain is a prerequisite for being victimized by the walking dead. Or so I've heard...Hilarious and so true.Check this site, called Symbaloo, which sort of amalgamates major useful internet tools from search engines to translators and everything in between and put them all in a classy and intuitive web grid.Motiveless Crime is on the rise.

A U.S. attack in Baghdad has left over 30 people dead in Sadr City, a slum section of the capital that is heavily populated by Shiites. The strike was aimed at a militia group believed to be hiding in the area that has connection to Iran. Twelve suspects have been arrested during the raid while an additional 11 dead and 15 wounded. Hospitals in the area claim that numerous civilians have been killed yet U.S. military denies this, saying that only militants were among the dead, though the attack was largely aerial. Baghdad is currently experiencing an influx of Shiite pilgrims trekking to a mosque in the area for a yearly ritual.A major storm hit New York City early this morning drenching the region in torrential rains that poured into the subway transit system, effectively paralyzing the city. Major intersections were flooded, causing land transportation to lock down while electricity was cut off to thousands of homes for the bulk of the day. The storm also caused a tornado that whi...

Take at the NYC World Trade Center Site. I saw this wall not too long ago and it appears that the messages only continue to grow. Of course the "WAKE UP USA!!" now stands out above the rest.

If you are like me you have probably wondered at some point where that cocky kid from The Client ended up. Well Brad Renfro grew up and developed a taste for grand theft. Renfro was arrested in Florida in August of 2000 after he and a friend decided to steal a yacht from a Ft. Lauderdale dock. Renfro, who was 18 at the time, pleaded out of the charges and was sentenced to two years of probation and had to pay the yacht's owner over $4000 in damages.Motiveless Crime is on the rise.

With Lindsay Lohan in hiding and Paris Hilton doing the whole reformed bit, tabloids have had to turn to the remaining two wild children of Hollywood: Nicole Richie and Britney Spears . Of course Richie is supposedly all reformed too, now that she is with child. I could spend a lot of time posting pictures of her eating (yes, actual food) but I've never found that freaky, no-talent, ugly beast of interest. Therefore, we are left with Britney.Britney Spears hit a parked car the other day and luckily there was plenty of photogs there to catch it. And even better than that is the video that also came of it:First, notice that she is driving with one hand, the other is too busy holding some rat-animal that she probably found eating garbage in her bedroom. At the beginning of the video I was somewhat shocked to hear photographers asking Britney is she was ok and even more shocked when she responded nicely and said "I'm a braniac!" Eventually she asked the photogs if she had hurt her car,...

It has been a rather long day, which was only lengthened when there wasn't enough juicy celebrity gossip to warrant a full Guilty Pleasures segment. The news wasn't even that interesting. But, onwards and upwards.Come on, before you think its a little too creepy, notice the ice cream that dropped the head off of his serving of children. Well I think it's funny.This dude needs to calm down. Being that invested (no pun intended) in the stock market is not only ridiculous but also detrimental to one's health. Imagine his blood pressure. Imagine his poor wife.As a rule, I hate punctuation games but this one was too good.Sarah Jessica Parker can't seem to let go of Paris or Carrie Bradshaw. Apparently someone allowed her to make her own perfume and its all I can do to turn on the TV and avoid her ugly foot-face plugging the stink or the myriad of Garnier products that she is the spokesperson for.

Kid Rock (aka Robert James Ritchie) was arrested in Nashville in February 2005 for misdemeanor assault after he got involved in a fight with a DJ at a strip club in the area. Ritchie has two prior arrests, both in Michigan, one in 1991 and the other in 1997 (neither of which are easily researched).Luckily Kid Rock isn't much of a big name anymore. It was somewhat sad when he somehow climbed the ranks of pop music and established that trailer park trash can be celebrated for lackluster accomplishments. Kid Rock was married to Pam Anderson, which only lowers his class level. Somehow he has managed to keep making music and is slated to release a new album in October of this year.Motiveless Crime is on the rise.

Rush Limbaugh turned himself into he Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office in April 2006 for doctor shopping. Investigators found that the 55-year-old had moved from doctor to doctor, attaining numerous prescriptions for powerful painkillers such as OxyContin.Florida prosecutors eventually settled for addiction counseling where the conservative radio star won't be charged with a felony if he stays clean for 18 months and avoids being arrested again. Limbaugh was also slammed with $30,000 in fines and court costs. The agreement also requires that Limbaugh never own a gun and submit to random drug testing. The ironic part is the Limbaugh has spent years telling his listeners that illegal drug attainment, in any form, is wrong and that he believes anyone who breaks the law should go to jail. Shouldn't you be in jail Mr. Limbaugh? I know the world would be a better place if you were.

Lindsay Lohan's apparent disappearance after her last DUI has had me concerned. I don't really care if she is getting help for her issues but I do miss knowing where she is 24/7. That may sound stalkerish, but I'm not the one following her. Rumors have finally begun to solidify concerning where she is now but I still wonder where she has been for the past week or so. Word initially had it that Lindsay had jetted off to Long Island to stay at her mother's house there. Of course this is probably the worst choice considering that Dina Lohan is obviously the X-factor for Lindsay's drug abuse. The rumor was started when a ton of Lohan's crap was delivered to the house after reports came in that Lindsay and her younger sister were rumored to be on a plane together. Yet somehow there are no pictures of the flight, no witnesses, nothing. And we all know that photogs love to hang out at LAX (the airport, not the club) waiting for any jet-setting celebs. How is Lindsay staying so under ...
