Scarlett Johansson Should Get $66K For Hacking
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Photos,
According to the sentencing recommendation filed by the US State's Attorney's Office, the Avengers actress is entitled to that amount after having her privacy invaded.
The federal court recommended only $7,500 for Christina Aguilera who was also a victim when naked images were obtained by Christopher. The Voice judge's amount came about because although her email was hacked, she never had to deal with a website posting her nude photographs like Scarlett.
However, the state's attorney finds it "unlikely," given his employment record, that the hacker will be able to "repay any significant amount to the victims." Therefore, they are also asking for a "high-end" prison sentence of 71 months. Apparently he took naked images of Christina from her stylist's email account and Scarlett's from emails she sent to her then husband Ryan Reynolds.

Gareth Crosskey was tracked down in an investigation by the FBI and the British Met Police after he posed as Selena's stepfather Brian Teefey - the administrator of the page - and wrote to him claiming he had seen personal emails between Selena and her boyfriend Justin Bieber in January 2011. He also claimed to have personal exchanges with Selena and her friend Demi Lovato.
Gareth, 21, pleaded guilty of two offenses against the Computer Misuses Act at Southwark Crown Court and Judge John Price claimed Selena "deserved" her privacy.
"You are clever with a computer and you hacked into the private part of somebody's Facebook account. Selena Gomez has a Facebook account on which she has six million friends. They have permission to get into part of the account and you hacked into a private part by getting the email password. People deserve privacy and should not have their private correspondence made public," he said, according to The Sun.

Sarah Palin and the Email Read ‘Round the World
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Breaking News,
A bizarre series of events have culminated to create a few new truths in this year’s political race to the White House: one, Sarah Palin seems to have something to hide; two, the microscope under which Palin lives just got amped up; and three, Palin is truly one of the biggest celebrities in the world…for now. How will this change John McCain’s celebrity attack ads? Not at all - yet one more reason his campaign is completely and totally derailed, failing spectacularly to connect with the American public on any real level.
The thing is, potential President John McCain isn’t news. Hell, the man isn’t even relevant. Today, the media revolves around Sarah Palin. Maybe tomorrow, too. Palin is now the subject of inspection and Internet interrogation, her every move to be dissected and discussed. When the private email of a very public figure becomes a matter of public record, what else do you expect?
