Hollywood is the Gift that Keeps on Giving

It's that time of year where celebrities tried to be on their best behaviour but ultimately failed. On the top of this years naughty list we find R. Kelly who walked out of an interview when his past sexual abuse was mentioned resulting in a painfully awkward exit but not to be out done Bill Cosby said he planned to counter sue several of his sexual assault accusers for defamation. Tom Hardy didn't make any friends either when he pissed off journalists making them wait 4 hours for an interview while Limp Bizkit lead singer Fred Durst discovered he has been banned from entering the Ukraine.

While some celeb's ran into issues others just had bad luck with Johnny Depp being named as the most overpaid actor according to Forbes but even he had a better week than Steve Harvey who handed the Miss Universe crown to the wrong contestant and had to awkwardly apologize for the mistake.

Santa's Naughty Spreadsheet

The business world kept chugging along with the festive season fast approaching but when it came to the naughty or nice list it seems there was an oversupply of naughty this week.

We begin with the Fed raising interest rates due to an improving American economy for the first time in a long time showing promise. Alas things only get worse from here onwards after it was discovered that government agencies had spent a whopping $4.4billion to promote themselves under the Obama administration. But it wasn't just organizations in the news, individuals made headlines with a security guard being arrested for stealing $5million worth of diamonds after they were accidentally thrown out and Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer on the hot seat for a lavish $7million Great Gatsby inspired party even with news of major restructuring at the business. But at the top of the naughty list was the Pharmaceutical CEO who made headlines earlier in the year for raising the prices of AIDS drugs. Martin Shkreli was arrested this week by the FBI for running a ponzi scheme and securities fraud.

Individuals in the News

Time named their Person of the Year with German Chancellor Angela Merkel taking the prize even though she was up against controversial figures like ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Donald Trump. Speaking of Trump, Donald Trump made the headlines with his continued attack on Muslims pushing for bans on Muslims entering the United States. Mr Trumps continued vilification of Muslims has also lead to petitions from the UK to ban his entry.

In other news it was revealed that the pharmaceutical CEO Martin Shkreli who made headlines for raising the price of a AIDS drugs astronomically had bought the sole copy of Wu-Tang Clan's album for $2 million. Lastly there was buzz this week that the secretive creator of Bitcoin had been found this week in Australia.

Shooting Deaths on the Rise

This week we look at gun related crimes, from Oscar Pistorious to mass shootings in the US.

Oscar Pistorious

We begin with Oscar Pistorious who was found guilty of murder this week after a state appeal called into questions his original case. He will be sentenced in the original trial court.

Mass Shootings

The United States suffered multiple mass shootings in the space of a week with a crazed gunman shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic to a couple shooting at an office party. The Planned Parenthood shooting was carried out by Robert Lewis Dear who was described by neighbours as "calm, but crazy" and was later reported to have said "no more baby parts" after he killed 3 and wounded 9.

The mass shooting in San Bernardino was carried out by Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik who killed 14 and wounded more before being killed by police.
