America we've got a problem. Our female teachers can't keep their hands off their male students. In the last several years there has been case after case involving affairs between students and teachers.
The latest such case involves 38-year old Michelle McCutchan, who has taken wh*ring to a whole new level and probably assured her daughter will be going to therapy for quite a long time.
McCutchan, an elementary school teacher from Checotah. Oklahoma stands accused of making at least 2 sex tapes with her daughter's 16-year old boyfriend.
Police were tipped off by one of the boy's relatives.
Upon questioning McCutchan admitted to making the sex tapes, as well as having several other encounters with the teen during a 5 month affair according to the Daily Mail.

The teen is a sophomore at Checota High School. McCutchan is a fifth grade teacher at Marshall Elementary School.
McCutchan was charged Tuesday with two counts of second-degree rape and one count of sodomy. She was released on $5000 bond. She could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

It may have taken longer than some expected, but in the end if J. Cole's new album is quality work that's all people will remember.

The news is great for Cole's fans who have been patiently waiting for his album. The rapper says he's gearing up to do promo work for the single and album.
"We finally married a single and we picked it, so that's next week. There's no more holdup," Cole assured. "As of next week, you'll see me on full-fledged promo mode."
Adult Swim’s upfront presentation “Owns the 9ight” was the hottest ticket you couldn’t buy thanks to Jay-Z, who provided the evening’s entertainment as the network announced its 2011-2012 lineup.

A man who won a $2 million dollar lottery jackpot is still collecting food stamps and he could care less what anybody thinks about it.
Leroy Fick of Bay County, Michigan won the "Make Me Rich" lottery last June. After taxes he took home about $850,000. The state wants him off food stamps, but the Department of Human Services says "lump sum" payments are assets, not income - leaving Fick eligible to still receive help from the government.
"If the state has got a problem with their laws they should fix them," Fick said defiantly. "If I'm eligible, I'm eligible right?"
Fick's attorney John Wilson says his client bought a used Audi and a house with part of the money and invested the rest. According to eligibility rules qualifies for state assistance of "far less than $5,000 for the year."
Gisgie Davila Gendreau, a state human services department spokeswoman said "we are actively seeking a change to the food assistance policy, which is a federal policy, to ensure that those who are truly needy qualify,"
Democratic state representative Charles Brunner thinks the state needs to change their bridge card laws right away.
"It outrages me that a guy that drives a brand new Audi -- has a million dollars in the bank essentially, can still qualify for food stamps -- that's wrong," Brunner told WEYI.
For his part Fick isn't at all worried, and aside from unwanted media attention he's ok with continuing to leach off the state.
"If you're going to ... try to make me feel bad, you aren't going to do it," Fick told WNEM.

Newt Gingrich's run for the White House in 2012 is off to a rocky start.
The Republican from Georgia bombed in his appearance on 'Meet The Press' Sunday when he criticized fellow Republican Paul Ryan's Medicare-cutting budget plan as "right-wing social engineering."
Gingrich later apologized for the comments, only to have an Iowa voter chastise him on camera for being "an embarrassment to the party." Suggesting he get out of the presidential race before he made a "bigger fool" of himself.
To top things off - a gay protester crashed Gingrich's book signing on Tuesday in Minneapolis by dumping a box full of glitter on him.
"Feel the rainbow, Newt. Stop the hate. Stop anti-gay politics. It's dividing our country and it's not fixing our economy," the protester said before being escorted away by security.
