Colin Kroll, CEO and Co-Founder of HQ Trivia, Dead of Apparent Overdose

Colin Kroll, the co-founder and CEO of HQ Trivia, was found dead early Sunday morning in his Manhattan apartment. He was 35 years old. According to TMZ, Kroll’s girlfriend called police and asked for someone to check on Kroll after she grew concerned because she could not get in touch with him. Cops then went to Kroll’s’s downtown Manhattan residence, entered… and discovered Kroll’s body in his bedroom. He was face down and there was drug paraphernalia nearby. It is believed that he died of an overdose. At this point (before any tests have been run, we ought to note), law enforcement officials think Kroll passed away due to a mixture of cocaine and heroin. Kroll was named CEO of HQ Trivia in 2015. A year earlier, he was fired from Twitter after he was determined to be a “bad manager,” most notably because female employees alleged his behavior made them uncomfortable. However, no sexual harassment claims were ever filed. Kroll was also the co-founder of Vine and served as the General Manager of this company/platform between 2013 and 2014. Morever, he was the Chief Technology Officer for Jetsetter. Prior to that role, Kroll worked as the Engineering Manager at Yahoo between 2007 to 2009. Here is the official NYPD statement on the incident: On Sunday, December 16, 2018 at 0018 hours, police responded to a 911 call for a wellness check at 56 Spring Street within the confines of the 5th Precinct. Upon arrival, officers discovered a 35-year-old male unconscious and unresponsive in a bedroom. EMS responded and pronounced the individual deceased on scene. The investigation is ongoing and the Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death. HQ Trivia is a live quiz app; it was launched in August of 2017 and was one of iPhone’s 10 most-downloaded apps in January of this year. At the moment, however, it has fallen down to somewhere between 250 and 500. Representatives for HQ Trivia were not immediately available to comment. Kroll does not leave behind any kids. May he rest in peace. We’ll update this story with more news as it breaks. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam

Mark Zuckerberg: Shirtless Pic Leaked on Facebook!

A photo of a topless Mark Zuckerberg was leaked to the Internet today, fueling rumors that his privacy functions may have just failed epically, That, or someone’s gonna be getting unfriended by the CEO real fast. The shirtless pic was only up briefly before being deleted, but a screen grab of it – with commentary – is making the online rounds . Pretty funny. Here’s Mark in the undated photo with some friends (presumably): The photo of Zuckerberg topless first surfaced on image-sharing site Imgur. The poster there claims it was “accidentally posted” by Boz, a.k.a. Facebook Director of Engineering Andrew Bosworth, who can be seen on the far right. Boz allegedly took it down “seconds later,” but on the Internet, that can be more than long enough for someone to see it and pass it along to others. At least he looks like he’s having a good time.

Jeffrey Ross on James Holmes Roast Joke: Not Really Sorry

During the taping of Comedy Central’s roast of Roseanne Barr Sunday, Jeffrey Ross turned to Seth Greene and congratulated him on a “really big night.” Why? “You haven’t gotten this much attention since you shot all those people in Aurora,” the comedian joked in reference to alleged killer James Holmes, adding: “I’m kidding! You’re nothing like James Holmes. At least he’s doing something in a movie theater that people remember.” Yeah. How did he respond to the obvious backlash? Ross admitted that “Yes, I crossed a line” but that this is “what the roasts are all about. That’s what Roseanne is about … unapologetic comedy.” “If I had held back, I would have done her a disservice.” As for Ross’ disservice to the Colorado shooting victims, producer Jonas Larsen has already said the jokes will be cut from the August 12 telecast. If Ross is at all sorry, he’s not exactly showing it. “In these particular times – it is important to exercise freedom of speech,” he added. “Comedians are apologizing a lot. I am not saying that is right or wrong.” “But it scares me when I start second guessing myself. I wanted to put it out there and remind people what America is about, and on some level, what roasts are about.” “When I was a kid I said whatever I wanted. It was one of my favorite things about America,” he added. “So now I feel like I am a big kid.” As for his second most controversial move of the night – dressing like disgraced Penn State football coach Joe Paterno – Ross said he doesn’t care . What do you think of Ross’ jokes about James Holmes?

NASA Curiosity Rover Lands Safely on Mars

We now pause from reporting on Ryan Lochte’s abs and Michael Phelps’ girlfriend Megan Rossee to bring you some important news that should make any American proud: Curiosity, NASA’s long-touted plutonium-powered rover, made a picture perfect landing on Mars today and etched its name in space exploration history. Earlier Monday, the agency released a photograph taken by its Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter showing the rover still encased in the descent capsule. Shortly after, it touched down on the planet’s surface. During the early hours of the morning, the rover, about the size of a small car, was lowered at the end of 25-foot-long cables into a Martian crater. Over the years, NASA’s orbiter taken about 120 photographs of the crater in preparation for the rover, with left Earth more than eight months ago. “But I really think this is the coolest one,” Sarah Milkovich, a NASA scientist who works with the orbiter camera, said during a news conference. “What’s amazing about it is the miracle of this engineering ,” said John P. Grotzinger, the scientist who spearheaded the groundbreaking project. The rover ushers in a new era of exploration that could turn up evidence that Mars once boasted the ingredients for life – or might even still. NASA and administration officials were also quick to laud the mission amid criticism that the agency has become a bureaucracy long past its prime. “If anybody has been harboring doubts about the status of U.S. leadership in space,“ John P. Holdren, the president’s science adviser, said. “There’s a one-ton, automobile-size piece of American ingenuity, and it’s sitting on the surface of Mars right now.” One can only imagine what wonders it will discover on the red planet. U-S-A! U-S-A!

Lake Bell Hot For Maxim of the Day

Maxim hates me…. Back in the day, when the internet wasn’t dominated by the mainstream media, but the mainstream media was trying to get traction on the shit, Maxim came to me and paid me to link them for as long as they needed me to link them, because I had more traffic than they did….and then one day they reached a point where they figured they were good and didn’t need people like me so they stopped. So in taking away my drinking money, I got really fucking mad, and decided to laugh at these fuckers as much as I could as they faded into obscurity and bankruptcy….cuz they just couldn’t compete cuz their concept is dated… That was until today, when I came across this shoot with Lake Bell, which is probably the single hottest shoot they’ve done in the last 5 years of their demise…they had shitty celebs in shitty poses and it just wasn’t appealing or racy or even interesting to look at…even though that was their whole competitive advantage…access to these fucking bitches…and photographers was all they had going for them….so is this an accident, or does Maxim have one more push in them…who knows or cares…I just know in the next 10 minutes…I’m gonna have a takedown notice…cuz Maxim isn’t a fan of mine.

Adriana Lima Bikini Model on the Beach

More mom’s need to take this Adriana Lima bitch’s lead and not let pregnancy ruin them from being jerked off to…..but for some reason…90 percent of mom’s just don’t fully bounce back cuz they lack motivation…maybe it is cuz they don’t have million dollar modeling contracts and a lifestyle to maintaing….maybe it is cuz they didn’t sell their soul to the devil Victoria’s Secret corporation who will kill off her family if she doesn’t sort her shit out….you know cuz they made her and can take it all away from her….maybe it is cuz average women just don’t have the right genes…but I like the think it’s all laziness….sure they’ll say they don’t sleep, they don’t have a team of nurses, they don’t have the millions in the bank to hire the best trainers and chefs, but I say that’s all just excuses…. That said, I did see a hot mom in a bikini in the park with her kid yesterday, I’m talking ripped body, but I’m pretty sure she was just a stripper and I was drunk, horny and always way more open minded in real life than I am on the internet… Either way, here’s some Lima beans….that may or may not be implants…you never know with the engineering that goes into a Victoria’s Secret bra that makes all bitches look like they have implant cleavage…but they are fantastic either way…
