Tito Torbellino Killed in Mexico; Singer Was 33 Years Old

Tovar Rascon, a 33-year old “banda” musician, was shot and killed at a restaurant in Mexico City last night. The Phoenix native was dining inside Ciudad Obregon, according to The Associated Press, when two gunmen entered and show him at close range. He died on the way to the hospital. It’s tragically not unusual for singers in Mexico to be murdered, but these victims typically perform “narcocorridos” that celebrate the exploits of drug traffickers; or have ties to local gangs. In 2013, for example, South Texas crooner Jesus “Chuy” Quintanilla shot in the head near Mission, Texas. His ballads often referenced the Mexican drug cartel. Torbellino, however, was best known for love songs. He had been scheduled to perform tonight at the Obregon Expo. Celebrities We Lost in 2014 1. Philip Seymour Hoffman R.I.P. Philip Seymour Hoffman (1967-2014). He will forever be missed!

Scout Willis Defends Topless Instagram Protest: I Love My Breasts!

Earlier this week, Scout Willis protested Instagram’s no-nudity policy in the most awesome fashion imaginable. The daughter of Bruce and Demi took a topless stroll through NYC and posted photos of her boob-tastic adventures on Twitter. We’re not sure how Scout’s actions were supposed to force Instagram’s hand, and Scout probably couldn’t tell you either, but as believers in the power of online nudity, we proudly support Scout’s efforts and we’re happy to hear she doesn’t regret one nipply moment of her protest. “It was one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had,” says Scout in an interview with The Voice . “It completely changed my relationship with my body.” “I love my breasts so much,” she added. “I don’t feel like wearing a bra.” Toplessness has been legal in New York City for over 20 years and Scout says the point of her semi-nude jaunt was to highlight the ridiculousness of the fact that exposed breasts are legal in one of the world’s largest cities, but not on Instagram. So how did New Yorkers react to the sight of John McClane’s daughter strutting around Manhattan with her twins on display? “People were really blase about it,” says Scout.   So apparently the goal is to get Instagram to be as apathetic about Scout’s boobs as the average New Yorker.  Only time will tell if she can achieve her goal, but while you wait for this compelling drama to play out, have a look at the Rihanna topless photos that helped alert Scout to this pressing cause: Rihanna Lui Magazine Photos 1.

Michael Lohan: Cooling His Ass in Solitary, Trying to Call Kim Granatelle Collect

Michael Lohan is still cooling his rear end in solitary confinement in a Florida jail after being denied bail last weekend, but he has been allowed to make calls. Collect calls. Which people apparently don’t answer. A recording of a call he attempted to place to one of his many flames – Kim Granatelle, from The Real Housewives of New Jersey – was obtained this morning. Michael Lohan Collect Call She didn’t actually answer the phone and let the call go to her voicemail. Probably wise. Mike is in solitary for his repeated harassment of ex Kate Major. “Kim has spoken with Michael who told her he was in a lot of pain,” said Kim’s friend , Tom Murro, who shared the recording (hopefully with her knowledge). Keep in mind that he’s in pain from jumping off a balcony and landing in a freaking tree while attempting to avoid the cops. Not prime sympathy material. In an ironic twist, Michael and daughter Lindsay Lohan may be in jail at the same time, albeit on different coasts. LiLo must turn herself in by next week. She’ll likely get sprung faster , however, since she has better lawyers. And isn’t charged with injuring or threatening to kill someone, or resisting arrest.

Cory Smoot, Gwar Guitarist, Dies on Tour

Cory Smoot, guitarist for the costumed heavy metal band Gwar, was found dead Thursday after a concert in Minneapolis in the midst of a six-week tour. According to Fox News, Cory Smoot’s body was discovered on the rock group’s tour bus just before it was due to cross the border north into Canada. Here’s Smoot and Gwar playing what would be his final show Nov. 2: Cory Smoot and Gwar in Concert Gwar’s frontman, David Brockie, said in a statement: “It is with a sense of profound loss and tragedy that the members of Gwar announce the passing of their longtime guitarist and beloved friend Cory Smoot.” “Cory was found deceased this morning as the band prepared for a border crossing. At this point we are just dealing with the loss of our dear friend and brother, one of the most talented guitar players in metal today.” Smoot, who was 34, assumed the onstage alias of Flattus Maximus when he joined the Intergalactic Mutant Overlords in 2002 and had been with them since. Famed for its freaky horror costumes, metal anthems and stage antics like dousing fans in fake blood since 1984, Gwar played Late Night last week. Despite Smoot’s unexpected passing, his bandmates say the show must go on. Gwar plans to remain out on the road and play Friday in Edmonton.

Man Breaks World Hugging Record

A 51-year-old Ohio man has embraced the Valentine's Day spirit faster than anyone before, giving 7,777 hugs in 24 hours for a new world record. Jeff Ondash, who sought the squeezes under the costumed alter ego Teddy McHuggin, broke the record Saturday night outside the Paris Las Vegas hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip. “When you hug somebody, they all walk away from each other smiling,” Ondash said. “They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away; a hug a day — it's just fun.” Ondash said he wanted to become the world's hugging champion to raise money for the American Heart Association during American Heart month. The cause is important to him because his brother and father both died relatively young because of heart problems, he said. His daughter Carlie, who tallied her father's hugs with a manual counter at the start of his attempt on Friday, came up with his pseudonym to make his spectacle a bit more fun. The previous record of 5,000 hugs in one day was set last year by Siobhan O'Connor in Dublin, Ireland, Guinness spokesman Philip Robertson said. To break O'Connor's mark, Ondash needed more than 208 hugs per hour — or about 3 1/2 hugs per minute. Ondash logged just over 700 hugs during his first hour of embraces on Friday night. added by: Manatee_man
