Melissa King Video: How Much Did She Get Paid?

The would-be Miss Delaware Teen USA must have been really hard up for cash, or really bored, because the infamous Melissa King video only paid her $1,500. Melissa King initially denied she’s the one in the XXX video that made the rounds last week, though she later sort of admitted it in a series of re-Tweets. The guys behind the adult site, GirlsDoPorn (dot) com, also posted a release form on their website, in which Melissa identifies herself by name. So it’s totally her. Not that this wasn’t essentially clear already. The truly amazing things about this – beyond the basic, obvious fact that the gorgeous Miss Delaware Teen USA starred in a PORN movie – are that: She said her motive was money , yet she only earned a modest $1,500 Melissa reached out to the site about doing a sex video, not vice versa She wanted to do more , but GDP passed, calling her debut “frigid” Yes … the porn site declined to ask her back for round two. Melissa King Video Melissa King may have been interested in the idea at first, but apparently when it came down to the actual sex, she wasn’t feeling it. So no sequel. The irony? If she wanted to do more porn right now, sites would bend over backwards to have her, but they probably couldn’t afford her anymore. YouPorn offered her $250,000 to be the face of their site – and she doesn’t even have to have sex for that gig! Talk about a shift in market valuation. She resigned as Miss Teen Delaware after the scandal broke, but if Kim Kardashian is any indication, this isn’t a career-ender. Could be the contrary! Meanwhile, GirlsDoPorn says traffic has been so high since the news broke about Melissa King that they had to invest in additional server power.

Meat Loaf Destroys America the Beautiful at Mitt Romney Campaign Stop

It’s official: Mitt Romney no longer sings the world’s worst version of “America the Beautiful.” A few months after this candidate embarrassed himself with a rendition of that patriotic track, Meat Loaf took the stage at a campaign event in Ohio alongside Romney, John Rich and Randy Owens and free-styled about halfway through the song. The result? A total trainwreck, and a Mitt Romney who looked more mortified than he would be in front of a convention for women’s rights… Meat Loaf Butchers America the Beautiful Note to Mr. Loaf: Listen to Lea Michele . That is how you sing “America the Beautiful.”

Justin Timberlake Apologizes for "Distasteful" Wedding Video

Justin Timberlake has posted an open letter on his website to both apologize for a wedding video that made the rounds on the Internet this week, and also to clarify a few points regarding it. The video in question depicts homeless people wishing Justin and his new bride, Jessica Biel, well on their nuptials – and many have reacted harshly to the mockery of the subjects on film. Justin Timberlake Wedding Video “I think we can all agree that it was distasteful,” Timberlake writes, adding: “I was always taught that we as people, no matter what your race, sex, or stature may be, are equal.” JT goes on to say: The video was NOT actually shown at the wedding. He had “ZERO” contribution to it. His friends behind it are “good people” who simply showed a “lapse in judgment” in this case. Concludes the artist: “I do understand the reaction and, by association, I am holding myself accountable. “Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my thoughts. It really is a blessing to be able to speak directly to my true fans so that you can know exactly where I stand.”

Must Read: How Touré Failed Hip-Hop AND America

On July 14th, the Washington Post published a piece by Touré titled “How America And Hip-Hop Failed Each Other.” Touré’s editorial quickly made the rounds through the Hip-Hop blogosphere. I personally read it and have to say that I have a few issues with his article. The data that Touré used regarding the war on drugs, the incarceration rates, unemployment rates and the books he brings into the discussion to help hammer home his conclusion was not the problem… Continue

Chris Brown, Drake Crews In Brawl At NYC Club

NYPD confirm they were called to scene of a fight at W.I.P. but no arrests were made. By Rebecca Thomas Drake and Chris Brown Photo: Rappers stay schemin’. And if the reports are to be believed, R&B singers do too. After hitting up the Maybach Music Group listening party in the Bronx, Young Money rapper Drake headed to New York’s SoHo, where his camp reportedly got into an altercation with Chris Brown’s crew on Wednesday night. According to TMZ , the NYPD has confirmed that Drizzy and Breezy got into a fight at W.I.P. nightclub, where bottles were allegedly thrown. A photo posted to Brown’s Instagram showing the singer sporting a bloody gash on his chin quickly made the rounds on Thursday (June 14). But Breezy’s timeline had been sanitized entirely at press time. Drake and Brown have been the subject of rumors, particularly in recent months, as buzz built that the two were fighting over Rihanna. Brown’s long-term relationship with the Bajan singer imploded after he assaulted her in 2009, but they continued to be linked to each other. Drake has spoken in song about his own fleeting romantic encounter with Rihanna; the pair were spotted out together during Memorial Day weekend in Miami. Five people were injured in last night’s brawl, before the New York City Police Department were called in the early morning hours, around 4 a.m. TMZ reported that Brown and Drake were not at the club when police arrived; no arrests were made.

Werner Herzog Talks One Shot, Tom Cruise: ‘He Means Business’

Renowned for his prolific, fearless filmmaking, Werner Herzog is in fact nothing if not a polymath: Opera director , guerrilla film-school proprietor , diarist and author , septi-continental gadabout , and actor for hire (among other interests). It’s this latter quality that he and I discussed briefly today as he made the rounds for his new capital-punishment doc Into the Abyss — a diametric opposite to the biggest onscreen gig he’s taken to date.
