.Staten Island man allegedly steals 143 bottles of nail polish fron pharmacy, cops say
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- That’s a lot of nail polish.
Specifically, 143 bottles of the beauty product, valued at $1,256, is what prosecutors allege a Rosebank man swiped Monday from a Meiers Corners pharmacy.
Joseph Ballew, 22, of the 500 block of Tompkins Avenue, allegedly told police he snatched the nail polish to make an illegal buck.
"I do admit to stealing. Every time I take nail polish, I go to a nail salon on Port Richmond Avenue and sell it for $2 each," court papers quote him as telling cops.
Those documents don’t identify the shop to which he allegedly sells the stolen goods.
Ballew was charged with felony grand larceny and stolen-property possession, said a spokesman for District Attorney Daniel Donovan.
He’s also accused of misdemeanor counts of petit larceny and stolen-property possession.

Police officers forcibly removed Vicenzo Gavrity, of Huguenot, from near the front of the line at about 10:30 p.m., and charged him with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and obstructing governmental administration, according to court papers.
Officers observed Gavrity allegedly “raise his fists toward another” unidentified male while standing in the crowd as he advanced toward him “yelling and cursing,” according to court papers.
As the police moved barricades and entered the crowd to grab Gavrity, he tried to get away from the approaching officers as he “struggled and flailed his arms,” and yelled “[Expletive] you, I’m getting my shoes,” court papers allege.
Sneaker madness at the Staten Island Mall
At one point Police and
mall security struggle to maintain control over the thousands who were
awaiting the midnight release of the new Air Jordan sneakers.
Watch video
The scene at the mall turned ugly around 7:30 p.m. when the first thousand people in line discovered that tickets handed out earlier by a Great Kills resident thought to hold their spot as they waited hours in line for the sneaker release did not guarantee them anything since the man was not associated with the mall.
As word spread that the tickets were meaningless, hundreds from the back of the line charged to the front, and the mayhem culminated with Gavrity’s arrest.
Many people blamed poor planning for resulting in the hoopla at the Mall.
The turnout was larger than mall officials had originally planned for, said David Albertson, a spokesman for the Mall.
“We always have a plan in place,” Albertson explained. “The turn out was just more than we anticipated.”

Raekwon Unexpected Victory Cover
Rae showcases his trophy display for the cover art of his upcoming mixtape. Victory is sure sweet. Expected it when it arrives on Christmas.
R. Kelly I've Written 32 NEW Chapters of 'Trapped In the Closet'
R. Kelly needs funding -- AND QUICK -- because the singer tells TMZ he's ready to film THIRTY TWO new chapters of his legendary hip-hopera "Trapped in the Closet" ... but he needs financial backing first.
When we last saw "Trapped" ... the year was 2007 and Kelly had released 22 chapters, involving a little person who crapped his pants ... a neighbor with the spatula ... and a pimp with the stuttering problem.
Now, Kelly -- who was leaving an L.A. gym yesterday -- tells us he wants to continue the saga -- "but it costs a lot of money to do ... so we're actually looking for investors."
In the meantime, check out the end of Chapter 7 -- it's the only time we've ever heard anyone sing the word "spatula" ... and it's beautiful.
Staten Island Mall display shines light on borough's most notorious shoplifters....U MIGHT KNOW THEM
View full sizeFor
the fourth straight holiday season, the Staten Island Mall in New
Springville will be running digital billboard ads featuring the mugshots
of some of its most notorious shoplifters, in a program run by District
Attorney Daniel Donovan. For the fourth straight holiday season, the Staten Island Mall in New Springville will be running digital billboard ads featuring the mugshots of some of its most notorious shoplifters, in a program run by District Attorney Daniel Donovan.
"It’s a deterrent," Donovan said of the program today. The video is meant to send potential thieves a message — if you’re caught shoplifting, "it’s a serious crime and we’ll prosecute it."
"For the little benefit they’re going to gain by sticking something in their pockets or their coats, they’re going to pay a pretty penalty," Donovan said.
The digital ads feature five mugshots this year, and in each case, the face pictured belongs to someone who has been convicted in a shoplifting case from the Mall, Donovan said.
"These are people with multiple convictions for theft, for petit larceny," Donovan said.
One woman featured has been arrested 138 times under several names, and convicted 66 times, he said. She’s been banned from the Mall for life, he said.
The mall has barred about 270 people, some temporarily, others permanently, for a variety of reasons, though mostly for theft, according to Donovan.
Though the Mall typically sees the "same amount of incidents every year" in regards to shoplifting, the billboards still serve as a deterrent, said James M. Easley, the Mall’s senior general manager.
"It’s a very positive, long-term approach," Easley said, particularly since young customers can see, year-after-year, the mugshots of people they shouldn’t emulate.
He said he’s seen customers point to the billboards and tell their children, "See, you don’t want to be that guy."
Like in previous years, the ads are being paid for not by taxpayer dollars, but by money seized from criminal activities, Donovan said.
Common Confirms He Dissed Drake on “Sweet”…Butt, Is This Really About Serena Williams??
Specifically, this chorus:
“Y’all n—as man, you soft m—-f—kers. Yeah my man, m—-f—ker. Then come around my crib. You know where I’m from. Some ho ass n—as. Singing all around me man, la la la! You ain’t m—-f—king Frank Sinatra. Uh, lil’ bitch. Yeah, this the raw right here! This the raw right here n—a. Sweet m—-f—ker! Sweet ass bitch muthafucka!”
Seeing as how Drake channeled Sinatra all over our TVs this past August, it seemed pretty clear that line was about him. So here’s what Common told Sway this morning on Shade45.
Sway: So you’re inviting Drake into battle…
Common: Aye, he opened his mouth and said some things*, so if that’s what he wants. All that sublimal, you might as well say it now….
The verse is about me, but when you hear some of the stuff on the chorus, you can’t help but think about dude, I guess. And that’s what he felt. So yeah. At the end of the day, you fit in that category. He already embraced it, so wear it.
Common: He’s a very successful artist obviously. He’s a very talented artist too, I give credit where it’s due….but any artist can be a target…it’s just about mc-ing, when you step in there, you in the ring, baby. Especially if you say you’re the greatest. I’m on “Sweet” saying I’m the greatest too…
BUTT…..seriously, what else could be BEHIND this beef?
After the jump
..
What’s not fake is Drake’s producer Noah “40″ Shebib’s tweets:
Hmm. There is much irony in this argument. And any argument about Common not being hip hop is absurd. Even more so than a similar Drake argument (which I also think is absurd). Common has no singing voice to speak of.
Maybe all the rap cats and R&B cats could agree on something if they just noticed the 800lbs buttcheeks in the room; )
(Common x Serena Williams. Drake x Serena Williams.)
LOL. I’m surprised by all this because Common is literally one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. So just hearing him matter of fact-ly talk trash is fun. But whether you feel like his motives are right or wrong, or his personal style is softer than Drake’s…you can’t dismiss Common’s battle-tested lyrical skill.
