Shoe thrown at Hillary Clinton during speech

LAS VEGAS : A woman was taken into custody after throwing what she described as a shoe at Hillary Clinton during a Las Vegas speech.

The incident happened moments after Clinton took the stage Thursday at an Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries meeting at the Mandalay Bay hotel-casino.

Clinton, a possible presidential contender in 2016, ducked but did not appear to be hit by the object, and then joked about the incident.

Security ushered out a woman who said she threw a shoe but didn´t identify herself to reporters or explain the action.

Authorities said the woman would be arrested. The former U.S. secretary of state and Democratic senator from New York has been traveling the country giving paid speeches to industry organizations and appearing before key Democratic Party constituents.

Shruti Haasan Wants Her Co-star Thrown Out?

Shruti Haasan is presently shooting for Anees Bazmee's Welcome Back in Dubai. She will be seen sharing the screen space with John Abraham. However, Shruti is not quite pleased with Anees' decision of introducing Shiney Ahuja into the movie.

 

Shiney was charged in a rape case in 2009 and subsequently he was sentenced to seven years in prison. However, his criminal background doesn't seem to have bothered the director. "Shiney will be doing Welcome Back, in which he has an important role. It is not a guest or cameo appearance. He has never done this kind of a role. I felt he was apt for the role, and hence I called him up and he agreed to do it. He is quite excited about this project," said Bazmee to a leading tabloid.

 

Shruti has reportedly expressed her displeasure over his casting and wrote an email to the director stating that she was not happy with Shiney's presence. Moreover, she also said that the director failed to consult her about the casting of Shiney in the film.
