In 2000, Angie Sanselmente Valencia was crowned as Colombia’s “Queen of Coffee.”  Since then she’s been a runway model specializing in lingerie.  Oh yeah, in her spare time?  She’s also built one of the largest drug empires in the world, according to international authorities who have issued a warrant for her arrest.  Last year, at age 30, she is believed to have quit modeling all together, moved to Argentina from her native Colombia, and started a gigantic drug cartel where she used beautiful women, all former models and beauty queens, to move large amounts of cocaine from Buenos Aires to Mexico.

We’re not talking about normal mules, either.  Valencia’s beauty queen drug runners were moving lots of product at once.  One former model was apprehended with 55 kilograms (about 121 pounds) of cocaine on her person.  When caught, she promptly blew the lid off Valencia’s clever scheme.  Each mule was paid about $2000 dollars US per shipment, and one big shipment of cocaine went out from Valencia’s warehouses every 24 hours.

This was no passing fancy; this is a serious business.  The belief is she got her inspiration from a former boyfriend, a drug kingpin in Mexico nicknamed The Monster.  And to think, some people say that models are dumb!

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
