Karma and I Have Stuff in Common

Yes, we are both bitches. Also, I can levitate.  However, unlike me who just tends to nag, Karma is as subtle as playing pizzicato with a jackhammer on a Stradivarius. Take today’s example:

Durham police arrested Duke lacrosse accuser Crystal Gale Mangum, 33, late Wednesday after she allegedly assaulted her boyfriend, set his clothes on fire in a bathtub and threatened to stab him.

First rule of “D-list” celebrity notoriety: when you have been caught lying, STFU and disappear. Do NOT bring more attention to yourself. Especially after writing a book best classified as a pityfest. Or bad fiction.

Police charged her with attempted first-degree murder, five counts of arson, assault and battery, communicating threats, three counts of misdemeanor child abuse, injury to personal property, identity theft and resisting a public officer.

Looks like Ms. Magnum is moving on up! Not only did she beat up and throw things at her boyfriend, threaten his life, and set his clothes on fire, she did so after the police responded to the domestic disturbance call, no doubt placed by one of the three children present. But what about that “identity theft” charge??

Officers said Mangum gave them a fake name, “Marella Mangum,” and age, prompting the identity theft charge. She also resisted the officers who responded to the scene, according to police documents.

A bit late to think of that, don’t you think??

Her bond was set at $1 million. Mangum has been appointed a public defender and is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 22.

Well, maybe she can ask Mike Nifong to represent her. I hear he needs a job.
