Renault Zoe Z.E Concept… “This looks a little like a mini frig?” -funk flex
Fun fact: Renault had ideas of giving its new electric vehicle the name Zoe Z.E., but a French lawyer who represents a group of parents who have daughters named Zoe attempted to stop Renault from doing so. However, a French judge agreed with the car company claiming that the term “Zoe” is a common noun not specifically reserved for humans.

Kat Stacks Officially Turned Over to Immigration Officials!!
Sayonara sucka! BOSSIP has confirmed that Rat Kat Stacks has been turned over to immigration officials in Tennessee. As we reported earlier this week, police said she had a 90% chance of getting deported and it’s seeming more and more likely! A rep for the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office said Kat was released from the Nashville Correctional Development Center For Females into the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Officers. The infamous groupie had been in the facility since her arrest on Friday. Because Kat has been convicted of multiple crimes in the past, she is being held until her immigration trial instead of common procedure of being released on bond until such time. Let’s see what happens!! @MarisaMendez
California Judge Forced to Resign After Filming In Court to Make an Audition Tape (trying to be like Judge Judy SMH!!)
Judge Deanne Salcido of San Diego will be resigning in five days and will no longer be able to hold judicial office after she allowed her courtroom to be filmed as part of an audition for a reality show. Uh…isn’t it common sense that’d you’d PROBABLY have to get that cleared first? The panel of judges, lawyers and members of the public said the judge’s “audition” made a “mockery of the judicial system and gave the unseemly impression that she was playing to the cameras.” Apparently Salcido, who has been a judge since 2002, shopped around a video of her courtroom proceedings, whch were filmed by the husband of a bailiff. Things people do for a little fame!! SMH!! @MarisaMendez
Audi Quattro Concept Could See Production
The Audi Quattro concept revealed at the Paris auto show is being seriously considered as a high-priced, low-volume boutique production car. “I want to do it,” Volkswagen Group CEO Martin Winterkorn told Motor Trend. It would cost the equivalent of $560 million to develop the new body onto an existing RS 5 chassis. He envisions the Quattro as a full range of cars with different engines, and a global annual volume of about 35,000 to keep the price affordable.
