An Emmy and Grammy-award winning composer who wrote music for "Sesame Street"
was arraigned on charges of coercing a child "to engage in sexually explicit
conduct" in South Carolina on Monday. Fernando Rivas, 59, a Cuban-born musician
educated at New York's Julliard School, was arrested on April 19 after an
investigation led police to his Charleston home. Police discovered photographs
of a 4-year-old girl naked and "restrained in handcuffs and other bondage-type
devices," according to Charleston's Post and Courier. Rivas admitted to
handcuffing the child, taking the photos and emailing them to two other
individuals. Rivas won a Grammy award for Best Children's Album in 1998 for work
on "Elmopalooza." He also composed the musical "Selena, Forever" about the
tragic life of singer Selena.

(I believe) Trying to deflect criticism from herself after a 72 day marriage
after a multi-million dollar wedding, Kim Kardashian tells Us Weekly that Kris
Humphries was the reason for the break up. Reportedly,  Kardashian's hubby loved
the perks of being married to a well known celebrity and started making demands
for free stuff and special treatment wherever he went.in New York and Los
Angeles. It's also being said that he was verbally abusive to Kim tearing her
down in front of others and calling her stupid.  Perhaps the worst offense was
that he called her a "fat ass" and then would scope out other women at clubs.
One source said that when Kim asked her husband to skip the nights out in favor
of quality time, "He would tell her she was acting like too much of a wife and
'get over it."

Rex replied with a curse. Ryan apologized and accepted the fine. "I won't appeal
it," he says.
