We've admired the Wee Ninja from Shawnimals ever since we were looking for a visual to go with posts about the Staten Island Ninja Burglar. Wee Ninja is actually not a criminal in Shawn Smith's Ninjatown - Wee Ninjas only train, harvest Stealth Wheart, and fight the Wee Devils (or something along those lines). And now it turns out that there's an event at My Plastic Heart on Forsyth Street this Friday, Keep it......

He did not say what happened after that, but said that the police had focused on him because of his past. "I'm a likely suspect because I have a criminal background and......

The NYPD's Major Case Squad just busted the guys who tried to extort Anthony and Jennifer Lopez for $1 million in return for Anthony's laptop and wedding video. Apparently ex-con Tito Moses and Steven Wortman got a hold of Anthony's goods and called Access Hollywood to sell them. The The Post reports that Access Hollywood contacted the Major Case Squad;......
