LeAnn Rimes Performs at Anti-Bullying Concert, Gets Emotional on Stage

LeAnn Rimes took a stance against bullying at the Friend Movement’s Anti-Bullying Benefit Concert in L.A. Monday night, at times getting very emotional. The country star was the featured performer at the concert, where she told the audience how she takes her fair share of bullying on social media. She has two words for the haters, at the end of the day: “Screw them!” LeAnn Rimes Gets Emotional on Stage LeAnn, who performed her hit “Can’t Stop The Moonlight” and Elton John’s “Rocket Man,” is such an amazing talent. Rimes was introduc ed by Lizzie Velasquez. Cruelly, some have dubbed Lizzie “The World’s Ugliest Woman,” but she overcame bullying – and an extremely rare medical disorder – to become a motivational speaker. LeAnn later tweeted a picture of them together: “Lizzie Velasquez is the most inspiring woman!!! So honored to have met her,” she wrote of meeting Velasquez, who endured years and years of bullying. Hopefully, we can all learn something from her example.

Death Valley Temperatures: Holy Crap That’s Hot!

No offense to Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy, but The Heat has nothing on the actual heat punishing the southwest for the better part of a week. Death Valley, Calif., broke the all-time record for June highs Sunday at 129. You read that correctly. One hundred and effing twenty nine degrees. Hey, at least it’s “cooling off” later this week … THG NOTE : If you’re anywhere near Death Valley … we question your sanity and any sort of warning we could issue is probably a waste of space anyway. But the extreme temps have also hit places where people actually live. Las Vegas, Phoenix and parts of Southern California have been pushing 120. Speaking of hot, that’s about how many Kate Upton photos THG has! Summer. It’s not all bad.
