Source: Jessica Alexander/Future Image/WENN.com / WENN Mac Miller is heavy on the press run to promote his fifth studio album Swimming , and that includes the requisite in-studio performance with NPR’s Tiny Desk . Miller ran through a funky, subdued three-song set, which was the first time he’s performed the records from his new LP in front of an audience. Miller opened up his set with Swimming ‘s first single, “Small World,” backed by Stephen “Thundercat” Bruner on the bass, Alexander “Justus” West on guitar, Javad Day on keys, Joseph Cleveland on bass, Kendall Lewis on drums, and a special string appearance from Robin Fay-Massie on violin, YaShauna Swan on second violin, Lelia Walker on viola, and Melaine Hsu on cello. With Miller largely taking the lead on all vocals, he got a little bridge help from Thundercat on his second song, “What’s The Use” to great effect for the album’s upbeat third single. The set ends with the triumphant “2009” and Miller had the good fortune of getting some last-minute help with the string section, showering the quartet of women for filling in for him as he couldn’t travel with a string section.

‘California needs to catch up,’ one gay-marriage supporter says. By Kara Warner Photo: Spencer Platt/Getty Images LOS ANGELES — As the celebrations continued in New York on Saturday (June 25) for the passage of the same-sex marriage bill , many Americans were just waking up to and learning of the news. Expressing similar ecstatic emotions to those expressed by New Yorkers, many California residents spoke to MTV News about their enthusiasm for the bill’s passage. “I think it’s the next step for states,” John Stoeckly told MTV News after New York became the sixth and most populous state to legalize same-sex marriage. “I think people should be happy about it. I think California is probably going to be the next state that makes that step.” “You love who you love, you can’t really help that,” Samantha Capatosto said of her support for same-sex marriage. “I think it mean that they don’t let people get married, my aunt can’t get married, and I’m sad about that. She lives in Florida.” “You can’t help who you love, be with who you want to be with!” Jackie Mossberg chimed in. Both young ladies, along with friend Lauren Vigil, agreed that they feel like same-sex marriage will soon be legal nation-wide. “All the states are slowly letting gay marriage become legal,” Vigil said. “I think [California is] kind of stubborn,” Capatosto added. “But maybe it will happen.” California courts made same-sex marriage legal in 2008 before the passage of Proposition 8 that year negated the ruling. The law has been overturned by the U.S. District court and is now pending a decision by the California Supreme Court. California resident Orlando Soria was equally excited about the news, but offered a more cautiously optimistic opinion. “It seems like it keeps going back and forth between things being legal and not legal,” he pointed out. “New York is sort of a vanguard state, so it seems that the rest of the country will eventually go that direction, but we have no idea. In a year they could be like, ‘Oh that’s illegal again.’ Part of me thinks it’s very exciting for now, especially after Prop 8, but it’s hard to get fully excited about this stuff because you never know what’s going to happen. I don’t know. I should just be excited, but at the same time I’m excited with trepidation.” Soria went on to say that the most surprising aspect of the news was learning that the bill was passed for all of New York State, not just New York City. “New York State is kind of conservative. I lived in upstate New York for four years, and it was very different from the city,” he said. “That’s amazing to think that crazy conservative New York state passed something that California has yet to. It’s nuts.” Rebekah Nazarian’s response to the news was that “California needs to catch up. Big ups to New York for taking the lead in being the biggest state to allow same sex marriage, ” she said. “This is one time I don’t mind being a follower, and I hope soon too California can be proud of the same beautiful accomplishment.” Share your reactions to New York’s same-sex marriage bill on Facebook.

I have never seen so much excitement over a fat chick’s big tits before Kim Kardashian hit the scene and I realize why and that’s because she’s a proportionate fat chick, who looks like she’s got an hour glass figure like some modern day Marilyn Monroe after Marilyn rolled around in pig shit back home at the farm and grew a set of testicles. It’s like the fat attached itself in the right place andthe illusion that she’s not fat, as long as she’s posing in the picture alone, or with someone in shoulder pads or a fat suit, but the second you put her next to a normal sized girl or sideways, you’ll see just how many late night snacks she’s been eating all these years, but after taking the lead of my tit loving friend who never discriminated against tits strictly based on what they were attached to, so long as they were nice, Kim Kardashian’s got some seriously rockin’ tits and here are the pics she took for her website, because everyone knows tits get clicks….
