A federal jury in Brooklyn, N.Y., has convicted former pharmaceutical executive and "pharma bro" Martin Shkreli of securities fraud. He was found guilty Friday on three counts — two counts of securities fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud — out of a total of eight counts. Shkreli is best known for increasing the price of a life-saving drug for people with AIDS by 5,000 percent, from $13.50 to $750 per pill, when he was head of Turing Pharmaceuticals. Shkreli has not been sentenced and faces up to 20 years in prison, as WSHU's Charles Lane tells our Newscast unit. Still, he declared victory when he was acquitted of what he termed the most "important charges." "After the verdict was read, Shkreli and his lawyer said they were pleased and anticipated a light sentencing with minimal fines and no jail time," Lane reported. "During the trial, Shkreli openly mocked prosecutors and ultimately never took the stand in his de...

Michelle Carter, the young woman convicted of involuntary manslaughter after she sent text messages to her boyfriend urging him to kill himself, was sentenced to 2 and a half years in prison Thursday. Carter, 20, was found guilty in June of encouraging her 18-year-old boyfriend, Conrad Roy, to take his own life three years ago. Roy killed himself on July 12, 2014, by inhaling carbon monoxide produced by a water pump in his truck. The teen — who had a history of mental illness and had previously attempted suicide — got out of the truck because he was "scared," but Carter urged him to "get back in," according to text messages she exchanged with her friends. Carter won't begin her prison sentence until all state appeals have been exhausted, however, after Judge Lawrence Moniz granted her defense lawyer's motion to stay her incarceration until the appeals move through the Massachusetts court system. If she does serve prison time, she will likely serve...

Sixteen years after the original film taught us that “liter” is French for “give me some f*cking cola,” Super Troopers 2 is officially finished. Kevin Heffernan (Farva) posted an update on Broken Lizard’s website on Wednesday, informing the record-breaking $4.4 million worth of fans who helped fund the project that “we’ve officially finished the editing/post production process. Huzzah!” Huzzah, indeed. Time to celebrate with a delicious snozberry-tini. “We’ve posted about how we’ve been doing test screenings already and some folks were confused how we do that if the film was not technically done,” Heffernan wrote. “It’s important to do those screenings before everything is locked in, so we can see what works and what doesn’t, what jokes play and what jokes suck, and then make adjustments accordingly. But at some point you have to stop that process and lock everything in. The sound mix and the color correction mark the end of that process. Both are exciting, not just because they are th...

A cantora e drag queen Pabllo Vittar foi ignorada por um jornalista durante entrevista para a divulgação do clipe de Sua cara, ao lado de Anitta. Durante a festa Combatchy, na The Week do Rio de Janeiro, as cantoras receberam a imprensa nacional para comentar a produção para o single de Major Lazer, lançada no domigo (30). O repórter Amin Khader, da Record, ficou de costas para Pabllo e foi interrompido por Anitta, que tentava incluir a drag queen na entrevista. O momento foi registrado na live do Instagram Stories da própria Pabllo. Amin Khader fez várias perguntas direcionadas somente a Anitta e virou de costas para Pabllo. Incomodada, a cantora carioca pediu: "Você pode se posicionar aqui, olha, para nós duas". O jornalista justificou que iria gravar com Pabllo em seguida. Nas redes sociais, os fãs de Anitta e Pabllo criticaram o comportamento do jornalista brasileiro. "Acha lindo o que você fez hoje com @pabllovittar? Isso não é de profissional viu. Às vezes g...

After the Manchester bombing attack, which left 22 dead, the American pop star was condemned by bigots and contrarians like Piers Morgan, former BNP leader Nick Griffinand Milo Yiannopoulos. One US pastor even claimed that the One Last Time singer, who he called “pro-sodomy,” could be more dangerous than the terrorist who killed innocent children at her concert. But it turns out that for Ariana, who captured Britain’s collective heart during the One Love Manchester concert, this was not the first time she has been forced to face ridiculous, off-the-wall criticism. A clip of her 2015 interview with Los Angeles radio station KPWR has resurfaced this week, and has lit up the internet on its way to going viral. Self-defined “bisexual fangirl” Kyia posted the video, calling the star “a feminist icon,” and once it was reposted by an Ariana fan account, it picked up more than 13,000 retweets and favourites. The One Last Time singer was faced with a b...

Patients appreciate his frank talk about gay sex, ass prep, and proper douching. Sexperts have weighed in on all the common questions about anal, but Goldstein knows a thing or two. Do gay men over-douche? What about painful anal fissures? We’re answering them all with The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex. When You Know You’re a Bottom You can’t say how it happened. Maybe you started topping, then met a guy in college who you fell in love with. One problem: he was a total top. After a painful, messy first attempt, you tried again. And again. One day the flip switched and you came from getting fucked. Many queer men say they’ve grown versatile with age and experience. But considering the time it takes to hone bottoming or topping skills, plus all the social stigmas and challenges these roles contain, it’...
