Via | HotNewHipHop Floyd Mayweather says he paid $26 million in taxes in 2015. After rumors & reports started circulating around the web on Monday that Floyd Mayweather was behind on his 2015 taxes, it turns out that’s definitely not the case or so Floyd says. Late Monday night, Floyd took to his IG to respond to […]
Alcohol withdrawal contributed to his death. In life, Ellis hid his addiction, but would have wanted it revealed in death as a “cautionary tale,” his family says.
Word to Miley Cyrus , yo. In light of this 20-year old singer getting a Rolling Stone tattoo on the bottom of her feet, Vanilla Ice has taken to Twitter and showed off his fresh ink: The words “Miley Cyru$” etched on the bottom of his hoofers. “WORD TO YOUR MOTHER !” the rapper wrote as a caption to the following image, adding “LMAO!” Is there any chance this ink is actually permanent? We doubt it. But at least Vanilla made us LOL for a couple minutes. Miley actually reference this artist in her interview with Rolling Stone, using Vanilla Ice as a cautionary tale in offering advice to Justin Bieber . “He’s trying really hard,” Miley said of Justin “People don’t take him seriously, but he really can play the drums, he really can play guitar, he really can sing. I just don’t want to see him f-ck that up, to where people think he’s Vanilla Ice. “I tell him that. Like, ‘You don’t want to become a joke. When you go out, don’t start shit. Don’t come in shirtless.’ But the thing is, I think boys are, like, seven years behind. So in his head, he’s really, like, 12.” As you might expect, Bieber’s fans didn’t take too kindly to these words. But Vanilla Ice doesn’t seem to have minded.
This Public Service Announcement is brought to you by a Drug Free THG. And the genius who created and posted this gem of a meme on Reddit: Let this comparison of Lindsay Lohan, 26 going on 50, and Patrick Stewart, 72 going on 50, serve as a cautionary tale – not that it’s the first of its kind. Exhibit B: Notable female Mean Girls cast members then and now. Exhibit C: Lindsay vs. Glee ‘s Dianna Agron , also born in 1986.
Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian have simultaneously been abandoned by the men in their lives … at least according to one ridiculous tabloid cover. Must be a slow news week, even for In Touch , because there’s pretty much no indication that Scott Disick or Lamar Odom ditched their partners. Scott partied with “club girls” while Kourt stayed home with her hormones, supposedly. Maybe so, but that’s what Scott does. It’s not incendiary. As for Khloe’s man? Lamar dumped the Mavericks , but that’s about it. What’s all the more amazing about this kover is that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are dating. Like for real. Kim Kardashian is dating Kanye West! This made-for-tabloid-drama relationship actually materialized out of thin air and ITW instead opts for bogus, less interesting stories about her sisters. That’s just poor celebrity gossip reporting, people. Poor.
Anderson Cooper just cannot keep it together sometimes. The CNN anchor, whose laughter famously got the best of him last year during a story on Gerard Depardieu (or Depard-two if you will), lost it again last night. The giggling started during a segment about Dyngus Day (a Polish holiday marking the end of Lent) and progressed to the point of sheer ridiculousness. A voiceover describing the holiday’s traditions was the tipping point. Once the words “a tap from a pussy willow branch” were uttered, AC checked out. Watch the Dyngus Day segment, followed by Anderson Cooper’s hilarious giggling display – which got so bad he had to get up and leave – below: Anderson Cooper Giggling (Dyngus Day 2012)
Whitney Houston passed away from an accidental drowning, and there was no foul play involved in her death, according to the now-closed case file. The Beverly Hills Police Department has been investigating Whitney’s death since February 11, and officially closed the book on the case Wednesday. The lack of foul play isn’t really news, as the BHPD was working under the assumption of Houston’s accidental death at the Beverly Hilton hotel. Moreover, police never believed anyone took cocaine from her hotel room because they found the cocaine residue and powder inside Whitney’s room. Cocaine was a contributing factor in her death, according to the L.A. County Coroner, who published the Whitney Houston autopsy results last week. Hopefully, her passing serves as a cautionary tale for many, including her own daughter. That Bobbi Kristina Brown bong video is a little unsettling.
Like countless other Americans, Washington Wizards swingman Chris Singleton learned that week that he did not win the Mega Millions jackpot valued at well over $400 million. Unlike his fellow citizens, however, Singleton believed he actually had a relatively decent chance… considering he purchased $10,000 worth of tickets for the drawing! Explaining on Twitter that he considered the collection of tickets to be an “investment,” the former Florida State standout added the hashtag #halfwaytoabillionaireifiwin and told followers: “If I get richer, I will change the world for the better.” That’s nice to know. Not as nice as if Singleton had simply donated the 10 grand to a food bank instead of essentially flushing it down the toilet. But hey. The guy plays for the Wizards. He’s not exactly familiar with winning game plans. Does the rookie, who is averaging 4.8 points per game, have any regrets? Nope. The only options available to him and this cash were to play Mega Millions or “blow it in the club,” he Tweeted. But is that really true? What should Chris Singleton have done with his $10,000?
The stirring 2009 documentary Waking Sleeping Beauty took us behind the scenes at Disney Animation to reveal what it’s like when good things happen to good people. But before that, there was The Sweatbox , the 2002 doc that exposed how bad things happen to good people at the notoriously demanding studio — a revelation that virtually ensured the film would never see the light of day. The crackdown worked once and may yet work in the future, but for now, YouTube has all 95 unfinished minutes available for a rare look. John-Paul Davidson and Trudie Styler were granted full access to the Disney process — the dark-arts cauldron comprising writers, directors, animators and executives — as it applied to the doomed project Kingdom of the Sun . The results featured below aren’t especially flattering (particularly to the executives), and Styler’s husband Sting walks his customary line between introspective and pretentious, but as a cautionary tale of snuffed-out Hollywood idealism alone, this one’s worth viewing.
