Her photo added to the album of celebrity mug shots, it's off to "bucolic" Camp Cupcake, where ..."Inmates take donated yarn and knit sweaters, hats, scarves and mittens for the Family Refuge Center in Lewisburg", reports Fox.

"The owner of the largest costume store in the city, Paul Blum of Abracadabra Superstore, sold his last Kerry mask for $300, a 600% markup on the $24.95 product. He had a second offer for the same amount, but couldn't lay his hands on a mask.
