Balloon Boy Mom Admits Hoax Was Planned For Two Weeks
Posted on Oct 24, 2009 @ 03:42PM - 21 comments
Mayumi Heene admitted to sheriff's deputies that she and her husband Richard planned the now-infamous Balloon Boy hoax for two weeks.
Balloon Boy’s Mother Mayumi Heene Finally Admits Stunt Was A Hoax
That admission is contained in an affidavit sworn by sheriff's investigator Robert Heffernan, a document used to get a search warrant for the family's home.
The couple called 911 on October 15 and claimed their six-year-old son Falcon was inside a UFO-shaped helium balloon that floated away and eventually drifted 50 miles, leading to national TV coverage. When the balloon finally landed and its compartment was empty, most people assumed the child was dead.

And now Mayumi has confessed it was all a stunt to make the family more marketable for the media.
But instead of appearing on TV, Mayumi and Richard may be watching one from behind bars, as they are under investigation for both felonies and misdemeanors stemming from the incident.

The couple claimed Falcon had been hiding in the house during the balloon flight and they were unaware of that fact.
But the sherrif's affidavit states that Mayumi admitted to cops on October 17 that she and her husband lied two days earlier. Mayumi admitted, "...that the release of the flying saucer was intentional as a hoax, that she and RICHARD HEENE knew all along that FALCON was hiding in the residence. The motive for the fabricated story was to make the HEENE family more marketable for future media interest. MAYUMI described that she and RICHARD HEENE devised this hoax approximately two weeks earlier. The experimental flying saucer was specifically made to carry out this hoax. That she and RICHARD had instructed their three children to lie to authorities as well as the media regarding this hoax."
The family previously appeared on the reality show Wife Swap, and as RadarOnline.com has reported, has tried out for numerous reality shows for years.

Despite the document containing Mayumi's confession, Richard Heene is not ready to give in. His lawyer, David Lane, told the Denver Post that Mayumi's confession is meaningless. "[Mayumi's] English is not that great, first of all," Lane said.
Cops obtained Mayumi's statement after questioning her separately from her husband.

In their request for a search warrant for the home of Balloon Boy Falcon Keene, the Larimer County Sheriff's Office outlined in great detail the shocking evidence they had against the family.
Read the Search Warrant Affidavit Here!
The affidavit includes Mayumi Heene's stunning revelation that the entire episode was a "hoax" and that the "experimental flying saucer was specifically made to carry out this hoax."
The affidavit requested that law enforcement be given access to just about everything inside the Heene's "off white" with "beige trim" house: specifically computers, photographs, journals, drawings, blueprints and financial documents.
Heene Family's Shocking Lifestyle
The affidavit asserted that the search warrant should be issued because on October 15, Mayumi Heene called Larimer County Dispatch to report that her six year-old son Falcon was in a homemade flying saucer that was accidentally launched from her backyard, and that Richard Heene also called the FAA and a local TV station asking that they dispatch helicopters to track the balloon.
Falcon, of course, was not aboard the balloon and later told the cops he'd been hiding in the attic "because he was upset that his dad had yelled at him."

By October 17, the Heene story changed. According to the Affidavit, "Mayumi Heene told Your Affiant that she and Richard Heene had lied to authorities....that the release of the flying aucer was intentional as a hoax, that she and Richard Heene knew all along that Falcon was hiding in the residence. The motive for the fabricated story was to make the Heene family more marketable for future media interest."
Mayumi also admitted that "she and Richard had instructed their three children to lie to authorities as well as the media regarding this hoax."
Richard and Mayumi Heene are now facing possible felony and misdemeanor charges on their misguided caper. They may also get a bill for the cost of the search and rescue operation.

On one occasion The Pyscience Detective threatened to kill cult performer Count Smokula by brandishing a metal bar from the hood of his car because he wouldn’t help him document dust devils.

Fortunately the performer – who shared office space with Heene and wrote several popular tunes for him – managed to calm down the father-of-three before being assaulted.

Smokula told RadarOnline.com: “Richard suffered from diabetes and that was very difficult for him especially when his blood sugar levels would go down because he could become very difficult and aggressive.

“He carried an insulin kit around with him and tried to monitor his condition but he was so busy that sometimes he would forget and would have to grab a candy bar or something.
“On one occasion he threatened to kill me when I would not go and help him film a documentary about chasing dust devils in the Antelope Valley in California.

“He grabbed a metal bar from inside his car and started waving at me but I managed to calm him down although I was pretty shaken-up.”
The two men shared an office space at Westside Studios in Los Angeles for seven years and Count Smokula – who is also know as Smoky Miles – got to know Heene’s wife Mayumi Heene and their three sons very well.

He claims that her husband tried his best to deal with his diabetes in a cheerful fashion but that his condition would get him down and lead to some big mood swings.
Smokula added: “I grew to be concerned about Mayumi and their kids because Richard could be so volatile at times and they were all living in a cramped studio.
“She would do her best and just try and smile through the situation but her husband could be very difficult.

“He had a Jeckyl and Hyde type personality because he could be very kind too – I remember one time he fitted a dimmer switch at my home and didn’t charge me anything.
“I just hope he comes through this whole episode unscathed and that his family can move forward – maybe they will get a break-out of all of this publicity.
“But being a diabetic was definitely a hindrance to Richard because he always tried to do a lot to get ahead for himself and his family despite of his illness.”
A medical expert confirmed to RadarOnline.com that diabetics who do not consistently regulate their insulin can exhibit very strange and potentially violent behavior.

The trouble keeps mounting for Richard Heene. After gaining notoriety for allegedly orchestrating a hoax using his son, a former business colleague has slammed Heene for claiming the credit for theme songs used in ill fated television shows.
Documents Prove Smokula Wrote the Songs

“We shared an office and studio together for seven years at Westside Casting in Los Angeles,” reveals Smokula. “Richard started living at the studio with his family and he was desperate to make a living for them. He begged me to save his life, so, I came up with the music for his projects and I would like to get some recognition for that."

The duo did write one song together: Create A Dream. "He had some creative input and we wrote the lyrics together.” The music was copyrighted by Smokula and registered with his label Meson Music BMI and he claims the only input that Heene had was to play some drums on The Psyience Detectives.

“Heene was a unique, eccentric and troubled individual at times and he was always making rockets and other weird inventions," he adds. “He definitely wanted to become famous and after appearing on Wife Swap his ego seemed to get out of control a little." As for Heene's wife Mayumi who recently hired her own attorney: "she was a very hard working person who could edit really well." While the children were "chaotic" at times, they were "basically good kids."
While Smokula wants credit for the songs, he feels pity for his former colleague: “I feel a little sorry for Richard because the whole world seems to want to stick it to the guy when he just wanted to make money and feed his family."
Meet The Lamas Family!
Posted on Oct 18, 2009 @ 10:09AM - 1 comment
The latest Hollywood family to get their own reality show is Lorenzo Lamas and his crazy children as featured on Leave It To Lamas on E! (Sundays at 10:30pm/9:30c). At the helm of the show is his hard-partying daughter Shayne and estranged son A.J. We also get the pleasure of meeting Shayne and A.J.'s crazy, menopausal mom Michele Smith (now divorced from Lorenzo, of course) and her daughter (Shayne and A.J.'s half-sister) Dakota by her other ex-husband Craig Pike. Dakota lives with Shayne and A.J. and is technically the "grounded" one of the siblings.
This is a Hollywood family we're talking about so complication is key. We don't want things to get too confusing for you so here are some pertinent facts on each Lamas and extended family as featured on the show!
Lorenzo
Who wasn't attracted to the sexy Falcon Crest in the 80s? This sexy soap star has always made the ladies swoon in TV and movie roles ranging from Grease to Renegade. He's still acting and most recently can be seen in the soon to be cult classic Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus (co-starring former pop diva Deborah Gibson). He's four times divorced but his ex-wife (and Renegade co-star) Shauna Sand has given him the most grief as rumors abound that she was cheating on Lorenzo with his son A.J. Needless to say, this has caused a riff in their relationship that unfolds on Leave It To Lamas.
Shayne
Remember The Bachelor: London Calling with Matt Grant as the single guy looking for love? Well, he proposed to Shayne with his final rose but sadly their engagement wilted just as quickly as that lower. It's okay. Shayne, now 23 years old, has moved on. She's not just the glue that holds her nutty family together (she desperately wants her dad and brother to reconcile) but she's an aspiring actress herself. She's appeared on General Hospital and is hungry to book more. When she's not acting, Shayne is definitely not sitting around feeling sorry for herself. She's a wild child that knows how to party!
A.J.
He's the most controversial member of the Lamas family as he attempts to shoot down rumors that he seduced his step-mom Shauna while she was still married to his dad. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Just like his dad, A.J.'s appeared on soaps (As The World Turns), models a bit and is trying to launch a bigger, more successful acting career. And hence the rumors about his step-mom-he's also a notorious partier and ladies man!
Michele Smith
She's one of the two family members featured on the show sans the Lamas last name. Michele is the ex-wife of Lorenzo (she had A.J. and Shayne with him) and is also the mother to Dakota Pike. Michele met Lorenzo on the set of Falcon's Crest where she was the show's publicist! Her lot in life these days seems to be staying cool (she's going through "the change") and driving her kids crazy by meddling in their whirlwind lives!
Dakota Pike
She's not a Lamas either but she's A.J. and Shayne's half-sister and roommate and their voice of reason (she's younger but constantly needs to reel A.J. and Shayne back to in to reality). Dakota's tried her hand at Hollywood too-she won her first beauty pageant at just two and half years old! Since then, she's gone on to do some modeling and some acting here and there too.

The Jackson family is torn over whether to include Michael Jackson's three children, Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket in their upcoming A&E reality TV show, The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty.
Rebbie Jackson, Michael's oldest sister, will not be appearing on the show and feels the late Thriller singer would have strongly opposed his children being featured on it. Janet Jackson is alright with having the children on the show, according to reports.
