Fyre Fallout: Ja Rule & Billy McFarland Sued For $100 Million Over Festival Disaster

WELP! Ja Rule And Billy McFarland Sued For $100 Million Over Fyre Festival After the disaster that was Fyre Festival, Ja Rule and his co-organizer are unsurprisingly facing a massive lawsuit. Ja and Billy McFarland are facing a $100 million class-action lawsuit via celebrity attorney Mark Geragos. According to Variety, Geragos was acting on behalf of client Daniel Jung in California on Sunday, accusing the organizers of fraud and creating a “dangerous and panicked situation.” “The festival’s lack of adequate food, water, shelter and medical care created a dangerous and panicked situation among attendees — suddenly finding themselves stranded on a remote island without basic provisions — that was closer to The Hunger Games or Lord of the Flies than Coachella,” states the suit. Jung told his attorney that he spent $2,000 on his music festival ticket and airfare only to suffer and “survive on bare rations, little more than bread and a slice of cheese, and was forced to try to escape the elements in the only shelter provided by Defendants: small clusters of ‘FEMA tents,’ exposed on a sand bar, that were soaked and battered by wind and rain” reports Variety. In addition to the $100 million suit, Ja and McFarland have reportedly been banned by the Bahamas Ministry Of Tourism from having any more festivals in the island nation.

A Lil Positivity: 40 Homeless Chicago Students Thrown Their First-Ever ‘Dream’ Prom

A lil positivity… Homeless Chicago Students Given A Prom Two Illinois non-profits are making national headlines for a recent selfless act. Teen Living Programs Chicago and Sisterhood of the Traveling Heart recently held a “dream prom” for 40 homeless Chicago students that included donated dresses and tuxedos. ABC News reports: About 40 homeless students in Chicago got something Saturday many of them thought would never come — a chance to attend prom. Jalisa Thurston was one of those students. “This prom is amazing because I didn’t ever go to prom,” she told ABC News. Thurston, 23, who is set to return to school later this year, said she never attended her high school prom after being kicked out of school for “some bad choices” and a subsequent pregnancy. On Saturday, she got a chance to wear a donated off-white two-piece evening gown thanks to a prom, held by two local non-profits Teen Living Programs Chicago, which serves homeless youth ages 14-24, and Sisterhood of the Traveling Heart, which centers on girls and teens around the world. It was the first time the prom was held for the organizations. “I feel like I’m getting married,” Thurston said. “I’m glad I met [TLP Chicago] because they’re wonderful.” The room where the prom was held on the lower level of Life Center Church of God in Christ in Chicago was decorated in navy blue and white. Along with a candy table, there was also a cake and cupcake stand. A prom queen and king were crowned — after getting recommendations from the students’ social workers — and some students even performed. Several local and national organizations provided donations, allowing the men to be outfitted with tuxedos and the women received complimentary hair styling and make-up application. “They all looked so nice,” Kamelah Muhammad, one of the organizers who came up with the idea, told ABC News. Wow! What an awesome story! Kudos to these two organizations for giving back and making dreams come true!

Selena Gomez Does The 2015 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

So this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show may have been a real disappointment as far as I was concerned, but at least the night wasn’t a total bust. Because the organizers managed to do at least one thing right: they got Selena Gomez to perform, and she put on one hell of a show. Just to be clear, I didn’t hear what song she did, I’m just talking about her outfit. And if you ask me, I’d say this was probably Selena’s best show of the year. Enjoy. » view all 13 photos Photos: WENN.com

Playmate Of The Year Kennedy Summers Busts Out

In case you forgot to set your DVRs, apparently it was the 41st annual Daytime Emmy awards over the weekend, which I’m pretty sure means a bunch of soap stars and morning TV show hosts got together to celebrate another year of entertaining old folks, shut-ins, and people who leave the TV on for their pets. And for some reason, Kennedy Summers showed up too, who you might remember better as 2014′s Playboy Playmate of the Year. I guess the organizers wanted to make sure to celebrate what the rest of us actually watch during the day too. Enjoy. Photos: WENN.com

Kimberley Garner’s Sexy Leg Show

I’m well aware that my Twitter girlfriend Kimberley Garner here isn’t exactly stacked in the front meat department, but you all know that I don’t care and love her anyway, because I’m not shallow like that. And more importantly, because she’s got a killer set of stems. So here’s Kimberley at the gala screening of something called Stag and I can’t believe she didn’t invite me as her date. Hmm. I think we might need to go to Twitter couples therapy. That’s a thing, right? » view all 19 photos Photos: WENN.com

Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace’s Funbags Are Out Of Control

Now I think I’m starting to get why I wasn’t invited to this Stag red carpet: because another one of my Twitter girlfriends was there too, busty British reality star Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace . I guess the organizers probably just didn’t want things to get awkward between us and Kimberley Garner , which I completely understand. I’m guessing they also wouldn’t have wanted me motorboating Aisleyene right there on the red carpet either, so it’s probably all for the best. Because it would’ve been awfully difficult to control myself. I mean, just look at those things! Well, actually, you probably already are. So I guess just keep looking at them then, and enjoy. » view all 16 photos Photos: WENN.com , FameFlynet

Kate Upton Forgot Something!

Looks like there was yet another big celebrity party I wasn’t invited to last night, because I can’t be trusted to follow dress code or around hot models and an open bar. This time, it was the 30th annual Night of Stars, and speaking of dress code, I think Kate Upton must’ve missed something in the invitation. Because as good as those funbags look stuffed into a tight dress, everybody knows her cleavage is the real star here. And I’m probably just as bummed as the organizers that she didn’t bring it. Who can’t be trusted now, huh? » view all 12 photos Photos:  PacificCoastNews
