You've got your stylin' T-shirts and celebrities have theirs. The difference: You're stuck with your "Gettin' lucky in Kentucky" shirt for months, if not years, while Hollywood types typically discard theirs after one or two uses -- which sometimes is a good thing. RedEye rounds up the bad, the good and the totally awesome star shirts from the past two weeks.
Sylvester Stallone: Sure, it's a long-sleeved shirt, but between the skull and the wings, we're not sure what's going on here.
Brandon Molale: Yes, that's John Rambo on the shirt, with a shining beacon in his hair.
Jermaine Dupri: Going for some old-school cred with a shirt from La Coka Nostra, the rap-rock group that includes former members of House of Pain.
Adrian Grenier: Hard to tell which eye is more intense -- Grenier's or the one of his shirt.
Jack Black: Black rocked a true muscle tee promoting his movie "Derek".
Paris Hilton: When you can rock a shirt with your own picture on it, you've officially crossed over from the ridiculous to the ridiculously awesome.

A Rembrandt man was sentenced April 15th in Buena Vista County District Court to 50 years in prison for sexually abusing a female teenager.
Last month, a jury found Cory Wernimont, 36, guilty of five of six counts of third-degree sexual abuse of a 15-year-old girl. Alleged assault occurred Aug. 7, 2012, at Wernimont's 510th Street home.
During the sentencing, the victim's family read three statements.
In the victim's written letter, read by Centers Against Abuse and Sexual Assault County Coordinator Jenny Ahlers, the girl described Wernimont as a "second father."
"It has been hard to cope," the teenager wrote, admitting that she attempted suicide and was briefly admitted to the Cherokee Mental Health Institute following the incident. "There has been so much pain."
According to the victim's older sister, ensuing circumstances have proven "nerve-wracking" and "stressful."
"I hope my sister, my family and I get justice after all we have been through," she said.
As she read, the victim's mother alternated between looking at Wernimont and her written statement.
"What Cory has taken away can never be returned," she said, as she described her family's descent into a "pit of anger and despair."
Wernimont, dressed in a navy blazer, jeans and black cowboy boots, did not appear to respond when addressed by the victim's family members. When prompted by Carr, he responded softly, almost inaudibly.
Two groups of individuals representing family and friends of the defendant and the victim sat on opposite sides of the courtroom, and remained silent throughout proceedings; however, following adjournment, the victim's family members and friends hugged each other.
While good behavior could warrant an early release, Judge Patrick Carr ordered Wernimont to consecutively serve the maximum sentence of five, not-to-exceed 10-year prison terms and to pay a $5,000 fine plus 35 percent surcharge.
Subsequently, the defendant also agreed to a five-year no-contact order with the child victim, mandatory listing with the Iowa Sex Offender Registry and lifetime parole restrictions.
Carr's judgment was based on a sentencing agreement, a first for County Attorney Dave Patton.
"There were discussions with victims and families before both trials, regarding what they would perceive as a good result," he told the Pilot-Tribune. "In cases like this, most don't understand how traumatic an experience it is to have to go through this personally invasive and embarrassing experience."
A second case, where Wernimont is accused of 60 counts of third-degree sexual abuse of a second teenage female, has been dismissed for now, but could be reinstated in the event Wernimont attempts to re-file.
"As a middle-aged man, I don't even pretend to understand, but we believe sending him away for not-to-exceed 50 years was a great result," the county attorney said.
Following the trial, Wernimont will be sent to the Iowa Medical and Classification Center in Oakdale.
Per Iowa law, an appeal can be filed within 30 days. Since the charges are not forcible felonies, Patton said Wernimont will have the right to post a $100,000 bond while out on appeal.

High school graduates have a great opportunity to get more scholarships, this one being from the Town of Drumheller.
"It's for people who are graduating from high school and going on to post secondary education. It's a $500 scholarship based over four years, so if you win the first year you need to just bring me your re-enrolment and your passing grades for the rest of the three years," stated Judy Quintin-Arvidson, Community Services Coordinator for the Town of Drumheller.
Quintin-Arvidson expressed that there is a lot of great kids who are going on to further their education. Some years they receive tons of applications, but some years they don't.
"I have the applications here (Town of Drumheller) and online as well. You can go right to our announcements page and it will take you right to the application form," she noted.
The scholarship is handed out at the Celebration of Excellence, which is coming up on April 8.
"Although I do have an extended date of March 31 to get your applications in, they should be in sooner than later because it doesn't give my committee very much time to chose a winner," Quintin-Arvidson outlined.
For the online application, follow this link.

Jul 24, 2017
by Eurocupbasketball.com
ratiopharm Ulm added a new player to its backcourt by inking guard Toure Murry to a one-year deal with an option for another season, the club announced Monday. Murry (1.96 meters, 27 years old) arrives from Yesilgiresun Belediye, where he averaged 8.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and three assists in six Turkish League games last season. He started his career with Rio Grande of the D-League and also played for New York, Washington and Utah of the NBA, as well as for Erie Bay, Sioux Falls, Texas and Idaho of the D-League. He has won the D-League title twice - with Rio Grande in 2013 and with Sioux Falls in 2016. Murry also helped Wichita State University win the NIT Championship in 2011. He is set to make his 7DAYS EuroCup debut with Ulm in the upcoming season.

Anti-bullying campaign hits schools
The mother of a young girl hospitalised after a bullying attack is behind a project aiming to put a stop to the torment.
Former teacher Nicole Price has joined forces with several community group leaders to develop the anti-bullying programme Stand By Me supported by the Ministry of Social Development's Te Punanga Haumaru Fund.
The plan takes a holistic approach to support the bullied, the bully and the bystander.
Schools, including Onepoto Primary, Northcote Intermediate and Hato Petera College, will be involved in the pilot.
North Shore Family Violence Prevention Network co-ordinator Deb Humphries says the programme is unique because it works both inside and outside the school.
"We are ensuring there are support networks for kids at every stage and by working with the bystander we are equipping those with a social concern to intervene safely, to step up and speak out," she says.
Ms Price says parents and teachers are at a loss over how to combat what has become an epidemic.
A Victoria University researcher found that 94 per cent of staff surveyed had witnessed bullying in their schools.
Almost half said instances of verbal bullying were brought to their attention weekly and that cyber bullying was mostly carried out by girls aged 11 to 14.
"I became involved when a close family friend lost their child to suicide from bullying at just 10 years old," Ms Price says.
"My own daughter was later bullied and ended up in hospital after a physical attack. She slipped through the cracks.
"I became extremely frustrated at the lack of support."
Ms Price says her daughter endured six months of cyber bullying even after moving schools. It's 24/7 abuse.
"They can't escape it. These young people are living in a constant state of anxiety and it's not healthy," she says.
Bullying has evolved so much that adults are often ill-equipped to manage it, she says.
"As parents the instinct is to take the technology away from them, but they can access it at libraries, schools or friends' places."
Some websites allow blocking and reporting of abuse but victims seem to have an irresistible desire to see what is being said about them, Stand By Me community liaison officer Sue Hobbs says.
"It's almost like the fear of not knowing is worse," she says.
Third party reporting stations at public leisure centres and libraries will be a key feature of the project.
"There's always that fear of being seen as a nark.
"The reporting stations will be a lifeline, where young people and parents can speak to someone removed from the situation."
Trained staff and youth leaders will be free to chat at set times throughout the week.
Ms Hobbs says an initiative like Stand By Me is crucial to preventing more victims.
"The damage is lifelong.
"The reality is it incites suicide and even abusive relationships down the track.
"It's time we put a stop to it."
