By popular demand, and after garnering much criticism, a Florida county is putting the racy romance trilogy Fifty Shades of Grey back on library shelves. Before reversing its decision, the Brevard County Library System was perhaps the most prominent of the many bans of the book occurring nationwide. The county pulled 19 copies of the best-sellers from its bookshelves earlier this month, calling the popular novels by EL James “semi-pornographic.” Monday, the county announced that Fifty Shades of Grey would be available immediately through the library in response to requests from residents. Library Services Director Cathy Schweinsberg said that the library was against censorship and was reviewing its selection criteria after negative feedback. Public libraries in several states have banned the book, saying it’s too steamy or poorly written. It’s definitely the latter, though you can’t ban it for that. Bottom line: Sometimes you gotta lighten up and give the people what they want … mind-numbingly cheesy, Twilight fan fiction-inspired softcore erotica. As soon as Universal won the movie rights to the best-selling “mommy porn” trilogy, fans have partaken in an intense, ongoing fantasy casting game.

This week on Teen Mom 2, someone is changing her Facebook, someone is “living like trash,” someone and her bad BF are living in the car, and someone copes with some potentially devastating news about her baby. There was a lot to take in. Find out who dealt with what issue in THG’s +/- recap below! Jenelle Evans has been crashing with Kieffer Delp since she got thrown out of her house. Their current abode is in her car. Minus 28 . It doesn’t get more WT than that. Nice Ed Hardy seat covers, though. Jon Gosselin would be proud. Plus 5 . Signs your relationship is in trouble? While Jenelle tries to do homework in the library, Kieffer GAMBLES rather than “stare at the wall.” Dude, you live in a CAR. Minus 60 . Kief also brings booze to bowling night at Planet Fun. This guy is the personification of the word FAIL. Plus 7 , because every other BF in America looks good right now. They get into an EPIC fight in the parking lot. Change is thrown. PSAs are aired. It’d be more entertaining if it weren’t so sad and Jenelle weren’t a parent. Minus 13 . Elsewhere, Leah Messer has to take a day off from working dental assistant to take baby Ali, who’s been suffering from a developmental disorder. Doesn’t sound good. Although Ali’s cute pink glasses are working to correct her nystagmus, she needs an MRI because her optic nerves could indicate a brain abnormality. 🙁 Poor Ali. At least Ali’s twin Aleeah takes her first steps. Plus 18 . And, from what we’ve read in recent weeks, little Ali is doing better, at least, so perhaps all will be okay. Chelsea Houska agrees once again to get back together with her baby daddy Adam. Minus 9 , because of some of the nasty things he’s said about her in the past. Her plan to “use her head, not her heart” sounds good. Plus only 7 , though, because putting it into action is harder than it sounds, especially with this douchebag. To Adam’s credit, he does help out with Aubree while Chelsea recovers from knee surgery and hits the books. Gotta focus on getting that GED, baby! Plus 15 . “In 10 years … when we get married.” Plus only 3 , because while it’s surprising he threw out the M-word at all, 10 years is more than half the span of his life. Finally, Kailyn Lowry is having trouble on the home front . Not her own, her mom’s. The guy she is dating seems to be a nightmare of Kieffer proportions. Minus 30 . “Your rooms stink,” he writes K in a note. “We don’t live like – me and your mom don’t live like trash.” Who does she think she is here, Jenelle Evans ? Plus 10 . Kailyn bails on that hellhole, and after rejecting welfare, finds her own apartment! Good for her! Even if MTV clearly paid for it or made all this up, Plus 25 girl. EPISODE TOTAL: -50! SEASON TOTAL: -44!

As someone who loves crackwhores like Tara Reid loves LA and London, because I have have had some of the best sexual experiences with greasy, unshowered, haggard, women in soiled clothing….at least in terms of cost…cuz I figure skinny, emaciated, desperate, down on her luck, dirty and addicted to a variety of substances leads to more bang for my buck…so to me these pics of Tara Reid are more promising than any Red Carpet or glamorous event I’ve seen her attend, it’s even better than any VIP spring break party that hasn’t ended in the last decade she’s been caught up in, because I know under this sweatshirt are fake tits, and a hurting soul, who is going to make the wrong choices to get herself back to that happy place she was once at…and these damaged bitches always do that through sex…it’s a basic human need and only a small step away to the whoring of herself she’s used to…. Seriously, I’d totally bang Tara Reid from these pics in a back alley for 40 dollars tax in and you would too and I think that’s really what we need to focus on when we see such a mess of a human…
I guess we’re already talking about Halloween now that summer is over. That’s depressing, except that Halloween brings out the fucking sluts and not just the obvious sluts you can easily identify on the street, in the club, at school….but Halloween digs deep into a bitch to find her inner slut, leading to the most tame bitch who works the Library harder than any cock, to be half naked and I love sluts….. I also love Candice Swanepoel, I’m sure it is real love, you know since I’ve never met her, have no interest in meeting her, and really just enjoy looking at her in picture, cuz I don’t have to hear her run her stupid spoiled model mouth, and I’ve never jerked off to her pics, cuz they are corporate and tame, but she is hot and easy on the eye and if that’s not real love, if that doesn’t define the burning emotion you feel for someone you would die for, then I don’t know what love is, but I want you to show me…but only if you have nice tits.
Death toll from weekend’s storm rises to 40, as flooding continues in some East Coast states. By Gil Kaufman Sebastian Bach Photo: FilmMagic With the death toll from Hurricane Irene rising to 40, five million homes in the dark as of Monday and towns up and down the East Coast still struggling to hold back floodwaters, the cleanup from the storm is expected to take weeks, if not months. One of the people who will have to put the pieces back together is Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach , whose New Jersey home was destroyed by flooding from the hurricane. The 43-year-old hair-metal vocalist lamented the loss in a lengthy Facebook post, in which he said that not only was the dwelling destroyed, but also that the storm had taken away some one-of-a-kind rock artifacts. “I am numb, in shock, & devastated to report that my home of 21 years, my house featured on ‘MTV Cribs,’ has been destroyed, condemned, & deemed uninhabitable due to the extreme flooding courtesy of Hurricane Irene,” Bach wrote. “In the 2 decades I have lived in this home, there has never been a single drop of water in the basement or anywhere else in the structure. Now Irene has overflowed the reservoir adjacent to my house. The surging waters have snapped the bridge in half next to my house & sent the bridge straight into my garage, knocking the house off of its foundation.” Bach said he was told he could not pump the water out due to fears of electrocution. Among the “irreplaceable” items lost: KISS Gargoyles from the 1979 tour, a KISS pinball machine, Skid Row master tapes, master tapes from Oh Say Can You Scream and “boxes & boxes” of original Skid Row memorabilia, from the band’s first tour to their most recent that Bach said no one else had. “I had a library in the basement with every single magazine that had Skid Row on the cover,” he lamented. “This library took up a big part of the basement. All of this is lost now. We will salvage what we can of course. But how I wish there was a reason to do a box set or something before Hurricane Irene hit. Nobody cared. Now it’s too late. Don’t know what you got till it’s gone, indeed.” Some of his other treasures, such as his father’s artwork — including a 16-foot tall mural from the band’s Slave to the Grind album, were safe after being moved upstairs, but Bach said he hasn’t been allowed back in the house yet to assess the damage because the foundation had “crumbled” and the structure could collapse at any time. “This has really taught me that the best things in life are indeed ‘free,’ ” he concluded. “What makes me happy is that my children & ex wife are safe. My dad’s art is unharmed. No one got hurt. My scrapbooks of memories of my life are dry & safe.” And, after 25 years of calling New Jersey home, Bach said he’s packing it in and permanently moving West. “I will always love New Jersey, but now there is literally nothing left for me here except memories of a past life,” he said. “Hello, Los Angeles. Hello, New Life. Here I am. It’s time for a new start. Like I have a choice.” Related Artists Sebastian Bach
We see the word “nerd” as a term of endearment. In fact, if loving nerds is wrong we don’t want to be right. A nerd is someone who stayed on his/her intellectual grind, regardless of negative peer pressure. Nerds burned the midnight oil in the library while everyone else was at the party. They toiled to earn multiple degrees and academic accolades. As a result, they are leaders, innovators and thinkers who are taking us all to the next level in science, medicine, and civil rights. Their smarts make them sexy, interesting and admirable. Here are 4 nerds that we just love to pieces. ( Continue… )
