Arnold Schwarzenegger, joins the Tiger Woods club of scandalous cheaters; police officers are not ready for their close-up; and if the Supreme Court must really hate the smell of weed. Is anything sacred anymore? Find out after the jump.

Tiger Woods ain't got nothing on Arnold Schwarzenegger

By now you've all heard the news that Arnold Schwarzenegger is one low-down, dirty-oh lawd stop me! So you know that Arnold fathered a child with his family's housekeeper, Mildred Patricia Baena and kept it a secret for years. The devastation that his wife, Maria Shriver and children must be experiencing is incredible yet, some commenter's fail to have any empathy. I disagree with the comment below since cheating isn't always about doing one's "job." You could swing from poles, chandeliers and be the most giving partner and get cheated on. Most often it's about the cheater and not their spouse.

"Sounds like the wife wasn't getting the job done."

Police officers are really, really camera-shy

In a trend reported by National Public Radio, police officers are trying to stop the public from using cell phone cameras to record their activity in the hopes of deterring police brutality. That's bad news since we need to record police officers more than ever as last year more than 1,500 officers were involved in excessive force complaints, according to the National Police Misconduct Statistics and Reporting Project. Here's a reaction straight from someone on the inside.

"I was a cop for nearly 35 years...It is shameful that the FOP has apparently taken the stance of supporting the criminalization of citizen monitoring of its police...The larger issue is our longstanding historical tradition of distrusting our government...and our right to police our government...Problem is, We The People have traded away too many of their freedoms since 9/11/01 in exchange for the illusion of security."

One more right taken away

If you hear the cops knocking on your door and you're on the toilet don't flush it since that could lead to them breaking down your door. Recently the U.S. Supreme Court, in an 8-1 vote, upheld the warrantless search of an apartment if police smell weed and think that you're trying to destroy incriminating evidence. This is an intense violation on personal liberties that should have everyone up in arms since cops can basically knock down a door if they simply think you're doing something illegal. The commenter below says it all while dripping sarcasm.

"Hey, I know, let's just scrap the Bill of Rights and put in its place a "Bill of Government's Right to Intrude" on the sanctity of one's home" After all, the American Citizen is just too darn stupid and we need government to protect us. Thank you Justices of the Supreme Court!! (well, except for that Ginsburg, but she is just a woman who just seems to understand the importance of the 4th Amendment and the need to restrain government's intrusive nature!)"

The iPhone is watching you; baseball dynamo, Barry Bonds is found guilty; and the oil spill keeps on affecting lives.  Try to digest it all now.

iPhone knows what you did last week

That iPhone you have in your pocket is great at storing your calendar, email and iTunes but it's also tracking and recording your every move.  According to security researchers Pete Warden and Alasdair Allan, your iPhone or iPad stores every step you take on an unencrypted file format that anyone can easily access.  Some folks are up in arms while others are immune to our increasing lack of privacy.

"Who cares. Big brother can find you just by accessing your phone records..If someone is so worried about this tracking device then leave the IPhone at home Use a pay phone, that is if you can find one ha ha"

Barry Bonds strikes out

It's been a long eight years since the case surrounding major league players' use of steroids and performance enhancing drugs began but finally there is closure.  Albeit it's not the kind of closure baseball icon, Barry Bonds wants as he has been found guilty of obstruction of justice. The jury couldn't make a determination on his three other charges including allegations of steroids usage.  The commenter below thinks it was all a waste of time and money.

"We should be pissed the fed's are wasting our money pursuing these cases, the government can lie and cheat and steal but god forbid an athlete does."

Show me the money!

The Deepwater Horizon offshore oil-drilling rig crisis is one of the world's largest environmental disasters.  It caused 11 deaths, personal injuries, has tainted the environment and left many poor.  Now those who want their payouts from oil company, BP are getting frustrated since they feel the process is too slow and cumbersome.  According to the Gulf Coast Claims Facility and the commenter below one of the issues may be that 30,414 lack proper documentation, such as bank statements, W2s or W9s to receive their claims.  Do you agree or think that the government is letting down victims of the oil spill?

"I am a claims analyst for an insurance company, so I understand the process. It has nothing to do with a wacky government, BP wanting to hold onto the money etc.; and EVERYTHING to do with people not understanding the concept of providing necessary documentation to process a claim.  "

Chris Brown has a major diva tantrum; Wyclef Jean gets "grazed" by a bullet but some don't believe him; and wrestler, Anthony Robles who was born without his right leg becomes a champion. It's a mixed bag after the jump.

Chris Brown needs help

So when you're angry do you normally throw a chair against a window and run outside with your shirt off? Well, yes if you're Chris Brown. The troubled singer had a public meltdown after getting angered by "Good Morning America," co-host, Robin Roberts for bringing up the topic of his physical assault on Rihanna during their interview. Chris has since "apologized" for his actions but few are buying it including the commenter below. It seems as if Chris needs to truly get some mental health treatment and stay away from chairs.

"I hope this is a WAKE UP call...he definitely needs new handlers for sure. I believe he thinks what he did was 'cute' not realizing it could cost him his freedom. He needs to go sit down somewhere and stop being a baby."

Wyclef, who shot ya?

Was he or wasn't he remains the question surrounding Wyclef Jean's alleged shot in the hand. During the height of Haiti's Presidential elections, Wyclef appeared on CNN stating that a bullet grazed him but Haiti police authorities say he was cut by glass. Some commenters believe Wyclef may be pulling a publicity stunt. Hmm, can't say I would put it past him.

"I thought much of the same thing about Wyclef's character when he was attempting to run for the President of Haiti. Some people will do almost anything to get a headline. I'm not at all surprised with these developments...this man has absolutely zero creditability!"

An unfair win?

You can't tell Anthony Robles to break a leg because he was born without his right leg and he is still a major success in sports. Anthony is now the NCAA wrestling champion in the 125-pound weight class after defeating Matt McDonough from Iowa. As inspirational as this story is not everyone thinks it was a fair match. What do you think?

"big advantage imo...he's missing 25% of his bodyweight­, so the rest of him is WAY bigger and stronger than the other wrestlers.­..plus, he's so hard to practice for...cong­rats to him though"

By Souleo Connecticut Sun Veteran and Power Forward Asjha Jones has game on and off the court. On the court her track record includes being the #4 draft pick for the WNBA. Off the court she's in the process of launching a shoe collection this March. The line is catered to women sizes 10.5 to 15, and named Takera, after Jones' middle name. She's a busy woman but made time for JimmyJazz.com to throw the ball in her court with The Questions. Read on as Ashja talks what physical situation made her shy in school, learning from losing, the sport she wishes she could secretly play and more.

In high school I was...very shy. I was 6' 2" since 12-years old and I didn't want people to notice it.

My favorite body part is...my feet. I wear a size 13 and it's given me this passion to produce shoes that fit my feet.

I didn't know my own strength until...I started my shoe line. Before that I didn't think I had the ability to step outside of my comfort zone and create my own business.

The best part of winning is...the pride you have in yourself and that others have in you.

The most valuable loss that I've experienced is...I lost two years in a row in the WNBA finals and prior to that I didn't have experience losing. So that was hard and made me work harder to make myself a better player.

Another sport I wish I were great at is...volleyball. I would be able to jump higher. I'm not a leaper like some players.

One common misconception about WNBA players that I hate is...that we are like boys and don't like to get dressed up and look like women.

One mistake I'll never make twice...listening to other people and not thinking for myself.

When I want to let loose and have fun I...go out with friends and hear music. I'm not a dancer but I like to be with people who are dancing.

For non-sports fans there are only two reasons to watch the Super Bowl: the halftime show and the commercials. Every year major corporations invest millions into developing clever, entertaining and memorable ads. The best way to increase sales is apparently through laughter as this year's commercials featured some hilarious twists. Check it out from Joan Rivers flaunting her body double (allegedly) to a beaver who saves the day.

Joan Rivers got a body like...whoa

Did you ever think you would say the words: "Damn, Joan Rivers is hot?"

How far would you go for Doritos?

There is a reason why some men in a sauna place a towel over heir heads. Apparently the temptation to stick your hands in the cookie jar can be too much to handle.

The beaver's got your back

When you need someone to hold you down don't look for your homie just find a beaver that will save your life by munching on a tree. Don't believe me? Then just check out the video.

Lil' Wayne makes prison look like a carefree retreat; a transgender athlete makes history in sports but many wonder if it's fair; marijuana smokers miss their big break; and Republicans give Democrats a run for their money. Get hip to life after the jump.

Lil' Wayne is free...so what?

When it comes to prison and hip-hop there is truly a revolving door. As T.I. heads away another rapper, Lil' Wayne comes on home. This week Lil' Wayne was released from Rikers Island after serving 8 months for weapons possession. Not only did every groupie in the world leave the bedside of Soulja Boy and rush over to Lil' Wayne but apparently most folks are celebrating his "freedom." Now forgive me and the commenter below for rolling our eyes at the fact that people are actually celebrating his release. After all if you do the crime isn't the whole point to do the time?

"I just love the way its portrayed that doing time for a crime is something to be celebrated. What a horrible image to send to the black youth."

What's gender got to do with it?

They say that just about everything under the sun has already been done, well apparently not when it comes to women's basketball. George Washington University's Kyle Allums recently made history by becoming the first openly transgender basketball player to compete in the Division 1 of the NCAA. So here's the story, Kyle was born a female but identifies as a male. To continue playing on the women's team, Kyle has decided not to attempt hormone therapy. Now, I'm all for diversity and breaking new ground but the commenter below does bring up an interesting point.

"How can you say you are a man but play on a woman's team?!! This is nonsense and he/she shouldn't be given a pass. You can't have your cake and eat it too."

Vote or don't smoke

I can't believe this happened. California weed smokers had their big chance to legalize the drug with Proposition 19 but alas they failed to get it passed. Apparently the reason why Prop 19 didn't succeed is because according to poll results conservative voters outnumbered young voters with only 13 percent of those under 30 making their voices heard. But as the commenter below notes there may be a valid reason why young voters didn't turn out.

"They were too stoned!"

Republicans Gain Power

It looks like a change is gonna come. After a tight midterm elections race, Republicans gained power by taking majority control of the House and winning key governorships across the country. Thankfully, this commenter has a few rules in mind that if adhered to can bring about some much needed sanity to the political scene. As if, that will ever happen...but here's to wishful thinking.

"Democrats and Republicans - please do me this favor.. 1) Don't get cocky...2) Try to work with each other ...3) Work the PROBLEMS...4) Look at ALL options - The more options you have available to you, the better odds you have at fixing a problem - plain common sense...Promise me those 4 things and I think you'll have a lot more happy Americans in addition to me."

By Souleo When the biggest and brightest celebrities from the urban entertainment scene want to party one of the people they call is party promoter, Cedrick Pierre. As the CEO of Elite Entertainment Marketing Group, Cedrick has hosted all kinds of parties from holiday themed ones to extravagant birthday parties and in the process has partied alongside the likes of Jay-Z and Beyonce. With his drive and marketing talent he is definitely one to watch since his party doesn't seem nowhere near its end. Read on to discover how this young entrepreneur impressed Jay-Z, how Trey Songz put him in his place, dealing with the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake crisis and more.

On getting props from Jay-Z:

My favorite one would have to be a party I did with Jay-Z. It was last Halloween at the 40/40 club. I met him and I met Beyonce. Jay-Z shook my hand and said, "Thanks, you made me a lot of money today." I just found that to be something that stuck in my head for quite some time and he's never forgotten me since then. So I kind of like that.

On learning that he can't compete with Trey Songz:

The second party I did at the 40/40 was on the day before Thanksgiving which is also Trey Songz' birthday. So I had to learn the hard way that I can't compete with Trey Songz and I failed pretty hard that night. Only 500 people showed up to my party that night to a club that can hold 2,000.

On how his young age has been an obstacle to overcome:

A lot of clubbers don't hire a promoter my age because they'd rather hire a guy that has been in the game 20 or 30 years. It came to a point where you have no choice but to give me a chance and once you give me a chance, I'm not going to let you down. So I've managed to build a reputation for myself.

On the international party scene:

We've done the Dominican Republic, Acapulco, Aruba and Jamaica. For this year's Spring break we actually went on tour with MTV. Overseas they are crazier because you don't really have to worry about laws, where people can't do this or that. Everybody is free and they can do whatever they want. I'd have to say they're definitely crazy.

On how the Haiti earthquake affected his family:

I had my sister, my cousins and nephew out in Haiti and they were affected pretty bad. My nephew is actually living with me now and hopefully my sister will be coming over soon, but they managed to pick themselves up. We do our best everyday to maintain and to get by because by nature we are a strong people. But to know that your own flesh and blood is suffering-I don't think you overcome that until they are okay. So it has made me a little more motivated. Sometimes I forget how many opportunities I have in this country and it's crazy not to make the best of it.

Dwayne Wade attempts to be White and sparks a debate about race; Haiti faces another major crisis; Charlie Sheen may have to pay up for losing his cool with porn star Capri Anderson; and did President Barack Obama pull a fast one on the American people with a false terror threat?  The truth is out there.

Black or White?

NBA star, Dwayne Wade may have just created the most controversial Halloween costume of the year by putting on Whiteface to portray pop singer, Justin Timberlake.  While some folks find this to be a humorous costume others find it just plan creepy since it's not a flattering look.  But on a more serious note the main quibble as the commenter below notes is that Dwayne's costume is a double standard since a White person in Blackface would cause serious alarm.

"...it's not ok because if it was the other way around u guys would be very upset and u know it."

Haiti On the Brink

Following the major outpouring of support during the aftermath of the devastating Haiti earthquake, the country faces even more challenges.  According to the United Nations there have been 4,000 infections of the diarrheal disease cholera, more than 420 new cases and a total of 284 deaths from the disease.  The crisis situation has many wondering where did all the money go that was raised to help Haiti.

"What the heck happened to all the money that was donated and/or given by this country and others? Why aren't the reporters investigating and reporting on that story? This is not the first time billions have been given to this country only to see it get stolen and/or wasted. The money from this country would be better spent fixing things in this country."

Just Another Gold Digger?

Actor Charlie Sheen is about to face a lawsuit from porn star, Capri Anderson.  It all begins with his meltdown in a New York City hotel where he trashed the room.  Capri claims that she felt her life was in danger and that Charlie kept her in the hotel room against her will.  However, no one is really buying her story including officials who revealed no plans to file criminal charges against Charlie.  Looks like this may be just another wannabe Kat Stacks minus the irritating voice.

Who's Terrorizing Who?

The good news: a terrorist plot was averted.  The bad news: it all may have been a set-up by the government.  The latter is the response some folks are having after U.S. President Barack Obama announced that the government averted a "credible terrorist threat," involving a mail bomb plot from Yemen to Chicago that may have been aimed at blowing up flying planes.  What has some suspicious is the fact that British investigators found a package that that had been "manipulated" to look like a bomb.  And all this comes in the race for midterm elections.  Whether or not the threat was real as the commenter below notes one should always consider where the information is coming from when making a determination.

"Consider the sources. That is all."
