The confetti tossed during Macy’s Parade was said to be confidential police documents, which contained incident reports, social security numbers, information about undercover officers and even banking information for police employees, several international news sites reported on November 24, 2012.

WPIX reports said, the confidential documents that were shredded are from the Nassau County Police Department.

It was discovered by Ethan Finkelstein and his friend who were watching the parade at 65th Street and Central Park West. A strip of confetti was reportedly stuck onto Ethan’s friend’s coat.

“It landed on her shoulder and it says ‘SSN’ and it’s written like a social security number, and we’re like, ‘That’s really bizarre.’ There are phone numbers, addresses, more social security numbers, license plate numbers and then we find all these incident reports from police,” Finkelstein told PIX11 News as quoted in a report.

Meanwhile, Nassau County Police Department (NCPD) Inspector Kenneth Lack said in a report that investigation will be conducted regarding the matter and they will review their procedures in disposing sensitive documents.

Furthermore, a police spokesman was quoted saying in a report that it was "too early" in the probe to confirm the validity of the documents.

On the other hand, Macy’s released a statement that they are using “commercially manufactured, multicolored confetti not shredded, homemade or printed paper of any kind in the parade and they are not aware of where that confetti comes from, as it is not something the parade distributes or uses.”

Charlie Sheen gave Lindsay Lohan a $100,000 check to cover her tax debt, celebrity news sites reported on Sunday, November 25, 2012.

According to TMZ, Lohan received the $100,000 check from Sheen, “all out of the goodness of his heart.” Reports said that Sheen and Lohan became close friends while on the set of “Scary Movie 5” last September. TMZ‘s source said that during their bonding period, the two celebrities talked about everything, and at one point, Lohan mentioned her tax problems.

Sheen reportedly offered Lohan a check but Lohan refused. However, sources close to Lohan told TMZ that last week, Lohan‘s manager received the $100,000 check.

The money was immediately applied to Lohan‘s outstanding tax bill, TMZ added.

According to TMZ, Charlie Sheen‘s $100,000 check cut Lohan‘s tax debt by nearly a half.

Four-time overall champion Lindsey Vonn ended up in 21st place. Vonn‘s performance was reportedly affected by an intestinal problem caused by a stomach bug.

Based on customers review on Walmart.com, this product is a great value for the price and a nice product.

“I recently purchased this tablet for my 3 year old son for his birthday because I did not want to pay $200 for the nabi II and to keep him off of my ipad. This tablet was also a replacement for the visual land that I purchased and returned because it was running way too slow. This tablet works great. The internet is fast. You have access to the google play store to download apps from the android market. The only issue that I had was that I couldn’t download netflix because of a recent update that they had. I phoned double technology and they were able to send me the file I needed via e-mail and it was downloaded staight to the tablet and works wonders. The technical support was really nice and responded fast to my request. Now my son and I are both happy because he can watch his favorite cartoons and I have access to my ipad. It also has a camera so he can snap away like he used to on my ipad,” a customer’s review on the product as quoted from Walmart.com.

Additional information about the product specifications and item description can be found at Walmart.com. Product availability, promotions and prices may vary between stores and online. Walmart's Cyber Monday event will be a Cyber Week Specials, which will end until December 2.
