A Utah mother was charged this week with one count of felony child abuse after she allegedly yanked out some of her 7-year-old son’s teeth in a Wal-Mart bathroom earlier this year.
Authorities say the charge stems from an April 2 incident in which 47-year-old Jeannine Isom went to Wal-Mart, purchased hand sanitizer and needle nose pliers and took her son to the bathroom. While there, investigators claim, she pulled out two of his teeth with the pliers.
“It wasn’t just a parent trying to get rid of a kid’s lose tooth,” Deputy Utah County, Utah, Attorney Christine Scott tells People.

Dale Price of American Fork, Utah chooses to let his son, Rain, know just how much he loves him in a very special way: by dressing up in a different costume every day and waving to his son as he rides away in the school bus. No, he literally dresses up in a different costume (“No recycling of costumes, that’s the rule,” Dale says) every day, which is probably awesome for his son, considering Dad has come out of the house dressed up like a terrifying clown, a blushing bride, and Batgirl. For real. On second thought, it’s probably only awesome for us, actually. Although, to be fair, on the same blog in which he chronicles his costume changes, Dale also reserves a space for readers to donate to Rain’s college fund and therapy bill. Makes sense. In all, Dale wore 170 costumes over the course of Rain’s school year.

Actor William Baldwin and his singer wife Chynna Phillips have been hit with demands from U.S. tax officials after allegedly running up debts more than $180,000. The couple, who married in 1995, owe both state and federal taxes, according to public records obtained by The Detroit News.
A tax lien for $39,561 was filed by the state of California against the couple on March 19, 2009 in Los Angeles, while the Internal Revenue Service is seeking $148,401 from the pair.
Profesionally, William Baldwin started his career by becoming a fashion model. He then made his acting debut when he starred opposite Cindy Crawford in 1995 film "Fair Game." Some movies in which he has starred include "American Fork", "Adrift in Manhattan", "A Plumm Summer" and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall".

Comedies with heart are a weakness of mine. For instance, “World’s Greatest Dad,” while extremely crude and unusual, is impossibly sweet and heartfelt, as is Hal Haberman and Jeremy Passmore’s grossly underrated 2006 superhero flick “Special.” This may explain why I’m drawn to Chris Bowman’s upcoming feature-length debut “Humble Pie” (aka “American Fork”), which is written by “Sasquatch Gang” co-star Hubbel Palmer. What’s more, it’s produced by Jeremy Coon, one of the cinematic wizards behind the creation of “Napoleon Dynamite,” a film that I could literally watch over and over again, nonstop, until the end of time. I kid you not. One of the more interesting aspects of the film is the presence of William Baldwin, who seems to be doing his best Alec Baldwin impersonation. It’s amusing if nothing else. The official synopsis lies below: At nearly 400 pounds, Tracy Orbison (Hubbel Palmer) is a wide target.

2009 is about to end with a bang, though probably not the apocalyptic kind predicted in the long-awaited adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" or Chris Smith's terrifying doc "Collapse," though those will both be playing at your local arthouse. Instead, audiences will be able to enjoy a winter of wildly different indie film offerings to reflect the wildly different tastes of moviegoers as we leave one decade and move into another. (There are also many different ways to watch them, as you can tell from our Anywhere But a Movie Theater section.)
From November through January, there will be musicals ("Nine"), comedies (Broken Lizard's "The Slammin' Salmon") and stop-motion animated wonderments ("A Town Called Panic") to entertain and new films from Michael Haneke, Pedro Almodóvar, Richard Linklater, Terry Gilliam and Werner Herzog to ponder. And if new movies aren't necessarily doing the trick, you can always cozy...

Four teenagers in American Fork, Utah were recently cited by police for being disorderly in public after they rapped their order at a McDonald's drive-thru window. Could this be the next Footloose? (Or, more accurately, the next next Footloose?) I think it could be. Follow me a second: The four boys were under the thrall of all those endless YouTube videos, both homemade and professional, of people rapping orders at various fast-food drive-thru windows. So they performed their own little rap and what happens? The not-at-all-charmed worker called the cops, saying she felt her "safety" was at risk, and the...

'Weirdsville' to launch Slamdance fest
NEW YORK -- Boasting such quintessentially irreverent features as American Zombie and American Fork, the 13th annual Slamdance Film Festival announced its lineup of competitive features and special screenings Tuesday.
The screwball comedy Weirdsville from veteran cult director Allan Moyle (Pump Up the Volume) launches the fest Jan. 18 as the Opening Night Gala film. Scott Speedman, Wes Bentley and Taryn Manning star in what fest programers describe as "the story of two junkies on the run from a satanic cult, a cabal of midget knights, a vengeful drug dealer and a mouse."
Programers say a record 3,600-plus films were submitted this year to fill less than 100 slots, up from more than 3,000 submitted last year.
"What sets Slamdance's program apart this year is a passionate combination that offers a high level of entertainment, social and commercial value," said fest president and co-founder Peter Baxter. "In most ways the program represents the spirit of the Slamdance id. This 13-year-old teenager breaks rules, has stayed true to its roots and embodies the spirit of independent creativity."
Each of the ten narrative and ten documentary films is made by a first-time feature director with budgets of $1 million or less.
