Jimmie ‘Jay’ Lee’s remains believed to be found
A gold necklace with Jimmie “Jay” Lee’s name on it was found with human remains in Carroll County this weekend, but authorities have not publicly confirmed the remains belong to the missing University of Mississippi student and well-known member of Oxford’s LGBTQ+ community.

Local authorities acknowledged the necklace was found with human remains that have yet to be identified through DNA. In a text, Carroll County Sheriff Clint Walker acknowledged a picture of the necklace but said he had no comment. The Oxford Police Department could not be reached before press time.

An image of the cursive nameplate obtained by Mississippi Today matches a necklace that Lee wore in pictures and videos on his Instagram account as recently as two days before he went missing.

Lee’s body had been missing since July 2022 after his mother told local police that she had not heard from him. A few weeks later, a fellow Ole Miss student and recent graduate, Sheldon Timothy Herrington Jr., was arrested and accused of killing Lee to preserve their secret sexual relationship.

Herrington’s attorney, state Rep. Kevin Horan, R-Grenada, said he had no comment. Lee’s parents could not be reached.

The human remains were found about an hour and a half south of Oxford. The day Lee went missing, Herrington was seen on video retrieving a long-handle shovel and wheelbarrow from his parent’s house in Grenada County and putting it into the back of a box truck that belonged to his moving company, according to evidence released in the case.

Herrington was tried for capital murder in December by the Lafayette County District Attorney’s Office. A judge declared a mistrial after the jury, which was chosen in Forrest County, was hung 11-1, with the disagreeing juror reportedly unable to convict due to the lack of a body.

In a shocking turn of events, the remains of missing person Jimmie ‘Jay’ Lee have been believed to have been found. Lee, who went missing two years ago, sparked a widespread search effort and garnered national attention.

Authorities made the discovery after receiving a tip from a hiker who stumbled upon a shallow grave in a remote area of the woods. While the remains have not yet been officially identified, investigators are confident that they belong to Lee based on the clothing and belongings found nearby.

Lee’s family and friends have been notified of the discovery and are awaiting confirmation from the medical examiner. The community is in mourning over the tragic loss of Lee, who was described as a beloved member of the community.

As more details emerge, the investigation into Lee’s disappearance continues. Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones during this difficult time.

Jay Z Wants Lawyer Fined Over Lawsuit Accusing Him and Diddy of Rape
- Jay-Z is seeking sanctions over a “Jane Doe” lawsuit that accuses him and Diddy of rape.
- He wants the case dismissed and the Doe’s lawyer, Tony Buzbee, to pay a cash fine.
- The lawsuit alleges Jay-Z and Diddy raped the 13-year-old Doe after the 2000 VMA awards.
Rapper Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter is fighting back against a lawsuit that alleges he and Sean “Diddy” Combs raped a 13-year-old girl during a Video Music Awards after-party in 2000.

In a legal filing Wednesday, the music entrepreneur asks a federal judge in Manhattan to dismiss the lawsuit and order monetary sanctions against Tony Buzbee, the Texas attorney who sued over the alleged incident in October.

The rape claim suffers from “substantial inaccuracies” which should have led Buzbee to drop the lawsuit, Carter’s filing says.

Those include woman’s father telling NBC News he had no memory of picking his distraught young daughter up from the after-party and driving her home as described in the lawsuit.

“It strains credulity,” Carter’s filing says, “that a father — impelled to jump into his car in the middle of the night to undertake a minimum 10-hour round trip to pick up his 13-year-old daughter at a random gas station—would forget the entire episode.”

Buzbee has also been unable to explain why the Alabama woman who filed the suit, now in her late-30s, told NBC News in December that she had a conversation at the after-party with rapper Benji Madden, whose distinctive “The Last Supper” tattoo she described to the network. Madden later told NBC that he was touring the Midwest during the VMAs that year.

Combs and Carter have both denied the sexual assault.

“A single, initial media interview turned up glaring problems that counsel had either ignored or never investigated,” Wednesday’s Carter filing, drafted by Manhattan attorney Alex Spiro, complains.

In court filings, Buzbee has dismissed both inconsistencies as unsurprising memory lapses.

“Calling this a ‘memory lapse’ cannot obscure counsel’s lapses in investigating whether multi-decade-old recollections aligned with reality,” Carter’s filing says.

“These factual discrepancies are neither isolated nor surprising. They result from Mr. Buzbee’s rush to launch allegations unhindered by mandatory diligence,” the filing says, asking the judge assigned to the lawsuit to impose unspecified cash damages and drop the lawsuit.

Reached for comment Wednesday night, Buzbee said, “With every frantic filing the defense in this case grows more desperate. The rules apply equally to everyone, even those who wrongly think they are above the law. No one is above the law.”

The original lawsuit was brought against Combs, his companies, and unnamed accomplices, including “Celebrity A.” Carter was identified as Celebrity A when the suit was amended December.

Since then, Buzbee and Carter have traded barbs in public statements and court documents, including a previous filing by the rapper seeking dismissal and sanctions. Two weeks after Carter was named as “Celebrity A” in the revised lawsuit, Buzbee filed a new lawsuit accusing Carter’s Roc Nation of trying to intimidate his law firm and turn his plaintiffs against him.

Related stories

“This conduct was specifically targeted at our firm so we would not pursue cases related to the Diddy litigation,” Buzbee said at the time in a statement to Business Insider. “But, we will not be bullied or intimidated.”
Jay Z filed a motion in court requesting for the lawyer representing the woman accusing him and Diddy of rape to be fined for filing a frivolous lawsuit. The lawsuit, which alleges that Jay Z and Diddy drugged and sexually assaulted the woman, has been vehemently denied by both artists.

In the court documents, Jay Z’s legal team argues that the lawsuit is baseless and lacks any credible evidence to support the claims made by the woman. They go on to accuse the lawyer of filing the lawsuit as a publicity stunt and an attempt to tarnish the reputations of both Jay Z and Diddy.

The motion for the lawyer to be fined comes as a response to what Jay Z and Diddy’s legal team see as a blatant abuse of the legal system. They are seeking to hold the lawyer accountable for what they believe to be a malicious attempt to defame their clients.

As the legal battle continues, it remains to be seen whether the court will grant Jay Z’s motion for the lawyer to be fined. In the meantime, both Jay Z and Diddy continue to maintain their innocence and refute the allegations made against them.

Wrexham sign strikers Sam Smith and Jay Rodriguez

Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson said of Rodriguez: “He’s an experienced striker with real quality and we’re looking forward to working with him.”

Parkinson has been keen to strengthen his frontline as Wrexham, who are owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, bid for promotion to the Championship.

He described Smith, who has 11 goals this season, as “a fantastic addition to the squad”.

“Sam is a player we’ve been pursuing for a while,” Parkinson added. “He’s a striker who’s done really well over the last few seasons and he’s at a great age.”

Smith came through the Reading academy after he was released by Manchester United and made his senior debut for the Royals in August 2017.

He subsequently had loans spells with Bishop’s Stortford, Oxford United, Shrewsbury Town, Cambridge United, Tranmere Rovers and Cheltenham Town.

Smith left Reading at the end of his contract in the summer of 2021 and joined Cambridge on a permanent deal.

After two seasons at Cambridge he rejoined Reading in July 2023.

Smith scored 27 goals in 63 games during his second spell with Reading, including 11 this season.

Wrexham AFC have bolstered their attacking options by signing strikers Sam Smith and Jay Rodriguez.

Smith, 24, joins the Welsh club on a permanent deal from Reading, where he has been a promising prospect in their youth setup. The tall and powerful forward is known for his ability to hold up play and finish chances in the box.

Rodriguez, 32, arrives at Wrexham on a free transfer after leaving Burnley. The experienced striker brings a wealth of Premier League and Championship experience, having scored goals at the highest level of English football.

Manager Phil Parkinson expressed his delight at securing the services of both players, stating that they will add quality and depth to the team’s attacking options. Wrexham fans will be hoping that Smith and Rodriguez can form a potent partnership up front and help the team achieve their promotion ambitions.

Smith’s arrival from Reading was confirmed by Wrexham on Friday, and sources have told ESPN the deal is comfortably a club record for a transfer and has broken the £1 million ($1.2m) barrier. Smith has signed a three-and-a-half year deal.

“I’m excited to be a part of the journey now and I want to try to help the club achieve its ambitions,” Smith said.

Manager Phil Parkinson added: “Sam is a player we’ve been pursuing for a while.

“He’s a striker who’s done really well over the last few seasons and he’s at a great age.”
In a shocking turn of events, Wrexham AFC have announced the signing of Jay Rodríguez from Burnley and Sam Smith from Reading for a club-record fee.

Rodríguez, who has previously played for Southampton and West Bromwich Albion, brings a wealth of experience and goal-scoring prowess to the Welsh club. The 32-year-old striker is expected to be a key player for Wrexham as they push for promotion in the upcoming season.

Meanwhile, 23-year-old forward Sam Smith joins Wrexham from Reading in a deal that has shattered the club’s previous transfer record. Smith is highly rated and has the potential to make a big impact at his new club.

Fans of Wrexham are buzzing with excitement over these new signings and are hopeful that they will help take the team to new heights. Stay tuned for more updates on Wrexham’s summer transfer dealings. #WrexhamFC #JayRodriguez #SamSmith #TransferNews

Rare Pontiac GTO Takes Jay Leno Back In Time

The

Pontiac GTO
is often regarded as the car that sparked the

American muscle car
revolution. However, because of its powerful V8 engine and aggressive styling, some have even refered to the GTO as the world’s first Supercars
. Though that may be a little doubtful, the GTO is still considered to be “The Goat” of Muscle Cars
, and it became an icon during the golden age of muscle cars. Jay Leno is a big fan of all historic cars, and in his recent video, he took a very rare Pontiac GTO for a spin, and went back in time to an era of forgotten legends.

1965 Pontiac GTO Royal Bobcat Took Performance To A New Level

Jay Leno’s
latest episode of Jay Leno’s Garage puts the spotlight on the 1965 Pontiac GTO Royal Bobcat. The car, owned by Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Jordan “Joker” Smith, features a rare Royal Bobcat package developed by Royal Pontiac in Royal Oak, Michigan. Known for turning factory GTOs into street-racing legends, the Royal Bobcat upgrades added horsepower and performance through a range of tweaks, including Tri-Power carburation, enhanced ignition systems, and advanced tuning techniques. While the GTO was already a pretty amazing car with its 389 V8 pumping out around 360 hp, this tweaked-up version could churn out around 400 hp, putting it in supercar territory for that era. This is also one of the reasons why Jay Leno says that this car is often hailed as one of the world’s first supercars.

1965 Pontiac GTO Royal Bobcat Specifications

Engine	389 cubic-inch V8 with Tri-Power carburation
Horsepower	~360 HP (factory) / ~400 HP (with Royal Bobcat upgrades)

Value Of 1965 Pontiac GTO Is Rising: Will It Continue In Next Few Years?

The Pontiac GTO highly regarded as it is credited with kicking off the muscle car boom in the 1960s. The Pontiac GTO was born in 1964, and in the following year, the muscle car was in great demand, with around 75,000 units sold. That’s a lot of 1965 GTOs sold, but despite the numbers, they are still quite valuable today. According to research by HotCars, the current average price for a ’65 GTO is $61,494. This around $10,000 higher than the car’s average price in 2019. This means that the price of the 1965 Pontiac is steadily rising. Will this trend continue in the next few years?

A Rare Pontiac With A History

Smith, who is an avid car enthusiast, recounted his journey to acquire this rare GTO, which was previously part of Pontiac legend Jim Wangers’ personal collection. Jim is often considered to be considered the ‘Godfather’ of the GTO, as he helped to market the vehicle. The original price of this GTO in 1965 was around $3,500, but because of its legacy and significance, as of January 2025, a well-preserved or meticulously restored example can command significant prices at auction. Right now, a 1965 Pontiac GTO Royal Bobcat is listed for auction at Mecum’s Kissimmee 2025 event, with an estimated value between $100,000 and $125,000.

“Modern cars feel like 60 at 100, but this makes 60 feel like 100—and that’s where the fun is!”

Jay Leno also claims that “this was the car that made fast cars fun and attainable.” The Pontiac GTO legacy carried over through the years until the car went out of production. In fact, the Pontiac GTO was one of the fastest muscle cars in the 2000’s.

Fast Facts About The Pontiac GTO Royal Bobcat

It Was a dealer-tuned beast
It could secretly exceed GM’s horsepower Limit (General Motors imposed a corporate limit of 400 horsepower on its cars)
It came with a How-To Kit
Pontiac engineers sometimes collaborated with Royal Pontiac, using the Bobcat as a testbed for experimental performance features

Jay Leno recently had the opportunity to take a rare Pontiac GTO for a spin, and it was a trip down memory lane for the car enthusiast. The Pontiac GTO is a classic muscle car that was popular in the 1960s and 1970s, known for its powerful engine and sleek design.

The GTO that Leno got to drive was a rare model, one of only a few left in existence. As he revved the engine and hit the open road, Leno couldn’t help but feel nostalgic for the golden age of American muscle cars.

With its throaty growl and impressive acceleration, the Pontiac GTO reminded Leno of a time when cars were built for speed and style. It was a reminder of the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating these iconic vehicles.

As Leno cruised along in the Pontiac GTO, he couldn’t help but smile and feel grateful for the chance to experience such a rare and special car. It was a trip back in time, a reminder of the glory days of American automotive history.

For car enthusiasts like Jay Leno, driving a rare Pontiac GTO is more than just a joyride – it’s a chance to connect with the past and appreciate the legacy of these legendary vehicles. And for those lucky enough to witness it, it’s a reminder of the timeless appeal of classic American muscle cars.

WRITING SPACE: COMPUTERS, HYPERTEXT, AND THE REMEDIATION By Jay David Bolter VG+

WRITING SPACE: COMPUTERS, HYPERTEXT, AND THE REMEDIATION By Jay David Bolter VG+

Price : 59.95

Ends on : N/A

View on eBay
In this post, we will explore the concept of writing space and its evolution in the digital age through the lens of Jay David Bolter’s book “Writing Space: Computers, Hypertext, and the Remediation.” Bolter examines how the rise of computers and hypertext has transformed the way we write and interact with text, leading to a new era of remediation in communication.

Bolter argues that the shift from traditional print media to digital writing spaces has fundamentally changed the way we create and consume content. With the advent of hypertext, writers now have the ability to link information seamlessly, creating a more interactive and dynamic reading experience for users. This allows for a more nonlinear and nonhierarchical approach to writing, where readers can navigate through text in a way that suits their individual preferences.

The concept of remediation, as discussed by Bolter, refers to the way in which new media forms borrow and repurpose elements from older media forms. This process of remediation can be seen in the way that digital writing spaces have incorporated elements from print media, such as layout, typography, and page design, while also introducing new features like hyperlinks and multimedia content.

Overall, Bolter’s work highlights the ways in which writing spaces have evolved in the digital age, offering new possibilities for creativity and communication. By embracing the potential of computers, hypertext, and remediation, writers can continue to push the boundaries of traditional writing practices and create innovative and engaging content for audiences in the digital era.
