Today In The USA

Those giggling ‘Barbie Bandit’ bank robbers, Ashley Miller and Heather Johnston, are back in the news.

On Monday, Miller and Johnston were sentenced, along with accomplice Benny Herman Allen III, a now former employee of the Bank of America in Acworth, Georgia which the girls knocked off.

Ashley Miller convicted of theft and drug distribution, was sentenced to the maximum of 10 years. She will be required to do two years in the joint and the remainder on probation. Miller also must pay at least $2,500 in restitution.

Heather Lyn Johnston, who pleaded guilty to robbery and drug use charges in August, got off easier, a lot easier, as she was sentenced to 10 years probation with community service, a minimum $2,000 fine and $2,500 in restitution.

Allen, the “inside man” on the bank heist was sentenced to the 10-year maximum. He’s required to serve five years behind bars and pay $2,500 in restitution.

So this pretty much wraps up the case of the “Barbie Bandits”, America’s most infamous air-head strippers turned bank robbers.

The picture. Oh, okay…

Read it at One ‘Barbie Bandit’ gets jail, the other probation and figure they should have stuck to stripping…

Get used to hearing and reading the name Ashley Alexandra Dupre.

According to the New York Times, Ashley Alexandra Dupre has been “outed” as the gal at the center of the prostitution scandal that has taken down New York Governor Eliot Spitzer.

According to the New York Times, Dupre is “Kristen” and has already made a court appearance in the scandal, has a lawyer and a budding singing career that just may get a major boost from taking out a sitting governor.

In any case, one can read all about it at Details Emerge On N.Y. Gov’s Call Girl and wonder if she’s worth $4,000 a night plus a governorship…

And here she is:

Former Miss Nevada USA Katie Rees booted by Miss USA officials in late 2006 after some provocative photos surfaced on the internet has now been busted in Vegas after she allegedly elbowed and kicked officers who pulled her over on a traffic violation.

Rees was cuffed and stuffed early Wednesday morning on a whole-lotta misdemeanor offenses including resisting a police officer, driving with suspended license plates, driving on a suspended license and speeding.

Oh well, at least she had her clothes on at the time…

Anyhow, you can read it at Metro: Ex-Miss Nev. Assaulted Police and figure she will get time off for “good behavior”, especially if they get to take pictures…

You know, pictures sorta’ like those that cause the Miss USA folks to strip Katie of her crown.

Pictures like these from the folks over at TMZ or if you like over here at Katie Rees Photos dot Org which shows a lot more of Miss Katie than does TMZ…
