A fellow inmate at Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood,Adidas, Calif. claims that the newly-incarcerated starlet is getting “special treatment” and a “special room” during her stay — and her new neighbors are none too pleased.
But a spokesman for L.A.’s sheriff’s department insists “She’s being treated like any other inmate in her classification. There’s no special treatment at all.”
“She’s getting special treatment,” Debra Sickels, a recently-released prisoner in contact with other inmates told New York’s Daily News. “Some inmates were getting pissy over it.”

Fed faces more congressional scrutiny – Ed hardy h
Rep. Barney Frank,Ed hardy hats, D-Mass., who is chairing the negotiating committee, was not ready to embrace Dodd’s 5 percent threshold.
Instead,Abercrombie bags, House Democrats are recommending that bankers who sit on the Fed’s regional bank boards be denied a vote on presidents of the regional boards.
Critics of greater congressional oversight of the Fed have argued it would threaten the central bank’s independence.
WASHINGTON – Looking to peer deeper into Federal Reserve activities, House and Senate lawmakers negotiating a massive financial regulation bill agreed Wednesday to expand congressional scrutiny of the nation’s central bank.
Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd, D-Conn., was ready to drop a provision in the Senate bill that would require the president to appoint the head of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. There are 12 regional Fed banks, but most of the largest banks in the country are supervised by the New York Fed.
Separately, senators and House members were negotiating how much authority to give shareholders of publicly owned companies to nominate candidates for corporate boards of directors. Dodd proposed that only shareholders who have owned 5 percent or more of a company’s outstanding shares for at least two years would have the right to nominate directors.
To allay Fed fears about the expanded audit, lawmakers agreed to delay the public release of details of emergency transactions by one year. Other transactions would be disclosed after two years.
This week, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg sent lawmakers a letter opposing the Lincoln measure, saying it would cost the city jobs and increase profits and market share for foreign competitors.
“The Fed is going to be a lot more transparent, a lot more subject to review,” said Rep. Melvin Watt, D-N.C.
Corporations fiercely oppose the proposal and Republicans unsuccessfully moved to strike it from the legislation. If shareholders gain that right, Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., warned, “directors will be responding to the whim of the day.”
The panel is bridging differences between House and Senate versions of a sweeping overhaul of the rules that govern Wall Street. Wednesday’s agreement would authorize the Government Accountability Office to audit emergency Fed infusions to financial institutions, low-cost loans the Fed provides to banks, and the purchase and sale of securities that the Fed undertakes to set monetary policy.
One of the stickiest issues centers on a proposal in the Senate bill, inserted by Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., that would force banks to spin off their derivatives business to subsidiaries. Banks oppose it and the issue has raised concerns among members of the New York congressional delegation that it damage the region’s economy.
Senators on a panel assembling a final regulatory bill accepted a House plan that would permit Congress’ investigative arm to examine the central bank’s most significant transactions.
The audit provision was one of the few solid agreements on a day otherwise marked by offers and counteroffers between House and Senate negotiators. Democrats, who hold majorities in both chambers, want to get a final bill to President Barack Obama by July 4.
The overall legislation aims to prevent a recurrence of the 2008 financial meltdown by requiring more government attention to potential risks in the financial system. Among the still unresolved issues before the House-Senate panel are key questions on how far to restrain bank activities and how to regulate the complex securities known as derivatives.
“Five percent is a lot to have to own in a company to be able to get involved,” he said.

SPRINGDALE — Another family-owned business in downtown Springdale is saying good-bye. Rick’s Shoe Store is closing after 33 years of full-service shoe sales.
“It’s a sign of the times in this weak economy and changes in the way people shop,” said Stephenie Ricker Davis. “The mom and pop-owned small stores are a dying breed.”
She and husband Jason took over as store owners in 2000 when her father, Rick, retired. The store employs one other clerk besides Davis, a close family friend.
It’s a bittersweet time for Davis, who has fond memories of playing in the store windows imitating a waving mannequin from age 6, when her dad bought the shoe business and changed the name to Rick’s.
There has a steady stream of customers shopping at Rick’s in recent days after the “going out of business” sign went up outside.
With discounts between 30 and 60 percent, more than half of her inventory is gone from the past week or so, she said.
Bibb remembers the Springdale establishment all they way back to when the space was Lichlyter’s Clothing Store where she shopped a child. “It was a five and dime ran by Willard Walker before that,” she said.
Davis said the business’ niche was offering hard-to-find sizes and widths to loyal customers like Bibb. But in recent years vendors had favored larger volume buyers and it was hard to get the pricing she needed to turn a profit.
Davis joked that Bibb had just gotten a better price on the sandals than the store did at the wholesale market.
Big box discount stores, expanding department store chains and online offerings have cut into the marketshare of small family-owned shoe stores for the past few years, but Davis said the last year or so was by far the roughest.
“We typically invested about $30,000 in new inventory annually, but it didn’t happen this year,” Davis said.
“Rick’s has succumbed to downtown issues that have affected dozens of businesses over time and it’s not just happening in Springdale,” said Perry Webb, CEO of the Springdale Chamber of Commerce. “Rick’s are also a victim of the changing model for the way people shop for shoes. Having to compete on price is tough when your model is full-service.”
He said the family had plenty to be proud of running an honorable 33-year business. He is sad to see the end of another nostalgic Springdale staple.
Davis said she has no regrets about taking over the business nine years ago. “And I can see myself working in the shoe business for someone else when the time comes,” she said.
SAS, a beloved shoe brand carried at Rick’s, will be offered elsewhere in the region in near future, Davis said. Davis said she would relish the opportunity to manage an SAS store if there is an offer.
Rick Ricker owns the Rick’s Store building, and the space will be leased or sold once the shoe inventory is liquidated
‘Luxury casual’ store opens in Paramus
Ed Hardy/Christian Audigier, a retail chain born of the collaboration between a tattoo artist and a fashion trendsetter, will open its first New Jersey store today at Westfield Garden State Plaza in Paramus.
The 1,700-square-foot store is a leasing coup for the mall, which has been focusing in recent years on attracting what the shopping center describes as “fashion forward” retailers not found in competing malls. The Ed Hardy brand sells what could be called “luxury casual wear,” with T-shirts that sell for $80 to $175 and $300 hoodies.
The Plaza won out over The Mall at Short Hills for the chain’s first New Jersey location because the Paramus mall had “a bigger mix of stores,” according to Philip del Rio, director of stores for Ed Hardy/Christian Audigier.
They also wanted the more economically and culturally diverse clientele of the Plaza.
“We’re perceived luxury,” del Rio said. “We’re not Gucci. We’re not Louis Vuitton. We don’t pretend to be. We’re looking for that customer that wants to spend a little bit more but wants something trendy — isn’t just looking for something high end.”
The Plaza, he said, also is “a little bit more of an international destination” than Short Hills and also “has more of an urban flair, and that’s what we do well.”
The Plaza store is the chain’s 24th store in the United States. The Culver City, Calif.-based company also is planning to open an outlet store at the Jersey Shore Premium Outlets center in Tinton Falls in July.
Ed Hardy clothing is based on the tattoo designs of Don Ed Hardy, a California-based tattoo artist who creates designs with rock-and-roll, surfing and hot rodding themes. The Ed Hardy stores are part of the fashion empire of Christian Audigier, a fashion and licensing guru who has created nine clothing and accessories brands and holds 60 licenses for products ranging from jewelry, skateboards and vodka to air fresheners. He also has lent his name and design sense to “Christian Audigier: The Nightclub” at the Treasure Island casino in Las Vegas.
Audigier, 50, became a fashion phenomenon about a decade ago when he built sales for the Von Dutch clothing brand by creating a fashion trend for trucker hats — peaked-brimmed, mesh-backed caps — after celebrities such as Ashton Kutcher were seen wearing Von Dutch caps.
He’s also used celebrity fans such as Madonna to propel sales of Ed Hardy merchandise. Britney Spears and Kanye West have been spotted wearing the tattoo T-shirts.
Audigier debuted the Ed Hardy brand as a wholesale business in 2004 and opened the first Ed Hardy retail store in 2007. The company has enjoyed rapid growth, opening 24 stores in less than two years, with another five store openings planned by the end of this year. According to figures from the privately held company, sales grew to over $80 million in 2007 from $10 million two years earlier.
The Plaza store will have both the Ed Hardy and Christian Audigier names on the storefront, as the company switches to a new store concept that embraces several of its fashion brands, del Rio said.
