Police Find Lupita Nyong’o’s Pearl-Studded Oscar Dress

Save the pearls. Update: Nyong’o’s dress was discovered Friday back in the hotel where it was originally stolen.

Update — Feb. 27, 7:35 p.m. ET: Lupita Nyong’o’s Oscar dress has been located in West Hollywood.

According to TMZ, the thief returned the dress to the hotel where it was stolen. The thief then allegedly called TMZ, revealing the location of the dress and claiming the pearls on it are fake.

TMZ reported that it called police, who found the dress back in the hotel where it was stolen.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed to NBC 4 that the dress has been found.

Original story:

The pearl-studded dress Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong’o wore to this year’s Oscars was stolen from her hotel room yesterday, TMZ reported.

Detectives are currently investigating the theft, though no arrests have been made, the LA Times reports. Police are also reportedly combing over the hotel’s surveillance footage.

No, ‘white people’s EBT’ isn’t working either; Xerox ‘glitch’ blamed

http://twitter.com/#!/kokomo0795/status/389157720894746624

Obviously no, there’s no feature of an EBT card that indicates race, but a few Twitter trolls quickly popped up to posit the idea during today’s blackout of the EBT processing system in 17 states.

http://twitter.com/#!/ITSHABEDDING/status/389172016441348096 http://twitter.com/#!/ModernLeftist/status/389149521327816704 http://twitter.com/#!/Real_change2012/status/389153005053820929

Yes on both counts.

http://twitter.com/#!/BigJebBos/status/389157086568783872 http://twitter.com/#!/kankokage/status/389181412873482240

Today’s very real shutdown of EBT processing can be traced to a “routine test of backup systems” by vendor Xerox that knocked out government-issued debit cards across the country, according to the AP. (Or maybe it was a computer system upgrade or a power failure, as CBS reported.) Whatever the cause, the race police, including “What’s the Matter with White People” author Joan Walsh, were out to shame those who would bring race into an already tense situation.

Mocking and EBT cruelty? Sure, there are trolls making jokes, but the folks on the Right have been the ones sounding the alarm bells about the perils of government dependence, while well-off Democrats pretend to be on SNAP benefits for no good reason that we can see, other than to be seen. Wanting people independent of government assistance is not cruelty.

James Foley’s family say they faced prosecution for paying ransom

ABC News, The Daily Mail and other media outlets are reporting today that the U.S government threatened to prosecute the family of James Foley for funding terrorism if the family paid Foley’s captors ransom money.

ABC News reports:

Obama administration officials repeatedly threatened the family of murdered journalist James Foley that they might face criminal charges for supporting terrorism if they paid ransom to the ISIS killers who ultimately beheaded their son, his mother and brother said this week.

“We were told that several times and we took it as a threat and it was appalling,” Foley’s mother Diane told ABC News in an interview.

She said the warnings over the summer came primarily from a highly decorated military officer serving on the White House’s National Security Council staff, which five outraged current and former officials with direct knowledge of the Foley case also recounted to ABC News in recent weeks.

“Three times he intimidated us with that message. We were horrified he would say that. He just told us we would be prosecuted. We knew we had to save our son, we had to try,” Diane Foley said.
