President Obama Assures Veteran: I Am NOT the Lead Singer From Korn!

On Wednesday, the nation celebrated Veterans Day , and numerous public figures took time to thank the men and women of America's armed forces for their service. Yesterday, as part of the White House's week-long tribute to our nation's troops, President Obama presented Army Captain Florent Groberg with the Medal of Honor – and dropped a bombshell that's certain to shake the world of American politics to its foundation. In his speech, Obama shared the following account of the first time he met Groberg: ” He woke up on a hospital bed in a little bit of a haze. He wasn’t sure, but he thought that he was in Germany, and someone was at his bedside talking to him And he thought that it was the lead singer from the heavy metal band Korn. “Flo thought, 'What’s going on? Am I hallucinating?' But he wasn’t, it was all real…And so, today, Flo, I want to assure you that you are not hallucinating. You are actually in the White House, those cameras are on, I am not the lead singer from Korn .” Obviously, this statement is outrageous for a number of reasons. For one thing, President Obama (if that is your real name), it was your duty to inform the American people that you're not the lead singer of Korn before we twice elected you to the highest office in the land! What if those votes were based on your innovative vocal stylings on “Freak On a Leash”? Also, Korn was really more of a rap-rock outfit than a “heavy metal band.” It's an important distinction, because – as indicated by the correlation between the release of Ben Carson's hip hop track and his rise in popularity – the American people want a president who can spit bars , son. Frankly, we don't know what to believe anymore. All this time, Donald Trump's been calling for Obama's birth certificate , when all we really needed to do was take note of the President's conspicuous lack of gold records and shiny Adidas track suits to know we'd been had.

The Real Housewives of NYC: Who’s Threatening to Bail?

Hell hath no fury like a Housewife scorned. The Real Housewives of New York ‘ s Ramona Singer , Sonja Morgan and LuAnn de Lesseps are aware of how much Bethenny Frankel is making from the series ($1 million for the season), and it’s not going over well. Season eight of the franchise has already begun filming, but the three drunkateers are holding out unless Andy Cohen increases their salaries. “Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered and negotiation is definitely an art form,” Frankel said, according to Reality Tea .  “I would venture to guess that most these women are not willing to walk away, so it’s all a useless exercise in nothing.” Frankel has been seen filming with Carole Radziwill , Dorinda Medley and rumored new cast member Julianne Wainstein .   “LuAnn, Sonja and Ramona have banded together [in holding out for more],” a source told Page Six on October 24th. “They have not come to terms. The negotiations are always down to the last minute, but now the show’s started filming.” The source also told the paper that Frankel and Cohen are close, so she has a “long list” of people who could replace Singer, Sonja and de Lesseps should they walk. Thank God for fallback careers like wine and toaster cookbooks.

Erin Heatherton’s Nipple of GQ Germany of the DAy

Leonardo DiCaprio’s ex, Victoria’s Secert model, Erin Heatherton, did a a shoot she’s meant to be doing for GQ Germany, that shows off her model tits. You see, she makes a lot of money to mosey half naked, there should be a certain percentage of her work that involves her being fully naked, you know to get her the gig in the first place, and to give us something to cross reference when jerking off to her catalog pics… In fact, Victoria’s Secret, if they were smart, would do a fully nude Catalog once a year, with all their girls spread out like this saying “what happens after you buy your bitch our shitty overpriced made in Bangladesh garbage”…because it would justify their salaries, generate hype, and really give us what we want, instead of forcing us to turn to GQ Germany to get it. Here are her titties you have seen in a bra….not in a bra…I dig it.

Khloe Kardashian and Mario Lopez Confirmed as X Factor Hosts

With Kim Kardashian having already perfected the sex factor, sister Khloe is now officially in for The X Factor . TMZ reports that this Kardashian sibling will co-host Season 2 of Simon Cowell’s creation alongside former Saved by the Bell and current ab-tastic TV personality Mario Lopez. No word yet on the salaries for either star, but look for Khloe and Mario to debut next month when The X Factor goes live. Compared to expectations set by Cowell last year, the competition has been a major dud for Fox. It fails to break 10 million viewers on a weekly basis, while American Idol – even during a down season – typically doubles that number. Will Kardashian and Lopez help the series to a marked improvement? Are you excited for them as hosts?   Yes, they’re perfect! No, are you kidding?!? Whatever View Poll »

Making It Rain On Them Hoes: Sports Illustrated Has Released A List Of The Top 50 Highest Paid American Athletes! The Notable Mentions [Pics]

Yesterday, we brought you the top 15 highest-earning American athletes, but there are still a few of our favorite ballers worth mentioning. Sports Illustrated Top 50 Highest Paid American Athletes Honorable Mentions This year’s list is unique for a couple more reasons. NBA players, who have historically claimed more spots in the Fortunate 50 than any other group, had their salaries slashed by nearly 20 percent this season because of the 66-game schedule brought on by the lockout of 2011. Our findings consisted solely of salary, winnings, bonuses, endorsements and appearance fees. We consulted players’ associations, tour records, agents and news reports. Our endorsement estimates for 2012 came from Burns Entertainment & Sports Marketing, other sports-marketing executives and analysts, and agents. Salary figures were based on current or most recently completed seasons (July 1 for the NFL, which is why Drew Brees, who just signed a $100 million deal last Friday, isn’t on the list). For winnings-based sports (auto racing, golf, tennis), we used the 2011 calendar year. Boxing purses are from June 2011 through May 2012. Candidates for the U.S. 50 had to be American citizens and currently active in their sports. It’s not as those athletes that didn’t make the top 15 are hurtin’ for a buck.
