FilmMagic/FilmMagic for Bonnaroo Arts And Music Festival Bonnaroo Attendee Found Dead At The Beloved Festival A Bonnaroo patron was found dead on Friday morning inside the festival’s campground in Manchester, Tennessee. According to reports from USA Today , the individual was identified as Michael Donivan Craddock, a Tennessee native. A spokesperson for the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office said that law enforcement responded to a medical call at the venue at around 10:30 a.m, and shortly after they arrived, authorities discovered Craddock unresponsive inside his vehicle. Officials told the publication that foul play is not suspected, and that the body was sent to Nashville for an autopsy so that they can determine the exact cause of death. Craddock’s passing marks the 13th fatalityin the history of the annual music festival, since its inception 17 years ago. The last death happened in the summer of 2015, when a 47-year-old man died from a pre-existing cardiac issue. Bonnaroo 2018 started off on Thursday and is scheduled to continue through Sunday including music from Eminem, Playboi Carti, and Future.

Aller/Getty Images Warriors Win NBA Championship And Twitter Is Hilarious Last night, the Golden State Warriors completed a 4-0 sweep of LeBron James and the men who call themselves the Cleveland Cavaliers. Although the win was rather anticlimactic as it a) took place on the Cavs home court and b) totally expected from game 1 of the NA season, NBA Twitter makes EVERYTHING more entertaining.

Image via Getty Syracuse University Suspends Racist Frat Members Indefinitely At some point the bill comes due and 16 slur spewin’ frat boys have just paid the tab. According to Refinery29 , Syracuse University has suspended 16 members of the Theta Tau fraternity for a racist video that we reported on earlier this year . In one scene of the video, a member was seen on his knees, fellating a beer can while saying: “I solemnly swear to always have hatred in my heart for n——, s—-, and most importantly the f***ing k—-.” While the frat has been permanently banned from campus, the students’ indefinite suspension will last at least until 2020 when they will all have to reapply after demonstrating gainful employment, academic progress, good citizenship, 160 hours of community service and a 12 page paper on diversity and inclusion. Seems very unlikely that any of the 16 boys will complete these tasks but we shall see. Despite this, there is always some d-bag who is willing to cape up for people who do racist things against minorities. In this case, FIRE, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education: “When a university expels students for a private roast consisting of completely protected speech, it has no business pretending that it cares about free expression,” director Ari Cohn said in a statement. “Labeling this obvious satire ‘harassment’ makes light of the actual cases of serious harassment that colleges should be looking to combat, and wastes resources that could be used to investigate real offenses. Labeling it a ‘breach of the peace’ is just stupid.” Mmmm, white tears. Tasty.

It’s called the Pooper Snooper and it’s only one stop away from being a crime scene investigation kit.

This results in 42.5 million poops everyday. Gross. You can also use the app to record bin locations just in case irresponsible pet owners have problems finding a waste basket. “The data is instantly visible on a map in the app, revealing persistent problem areas where local authorities and communities can focus their attention,” said CEO of Pooper Snooper Dave Kilbey . Some folks are already going hard as the Poop Police… I’ve just been out with my new PooperSnooper app. LOOK how many turds I spotted, some less than ten yards from a shit bin.

Asia Argento is the latest celebrity to speak out about the stunning suicide of Anthony Bourdain . But Argento’s words carry more weight than most others… because she had been dating the celebrity chef at the time of his tragic death. As previously reported, Bourdain killed himself this week while on location in France for an episode of his CNN series, Parts Unknown. He was found unresponsive in his hotel room by close friend and fellow chef Eric Ripert, with multiple outlets writing since tha Bourdain hanged himself. This is what CNN said in a statement that confirmed the awful news: It is with extraordinary sadness we can confirm the death of our friend and colleague, Anthony Bourdain. “His love of great adventure, new friends, fine food and drink and the remarkable stories of the world made him a unique storyteller. “His talents never ceased to amaze us and we will miss him very much. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughter and family at this incredibly difficult time.” Now, hours after this suicide was made public, Argento has briefly opened up about her boyfriend of several months. Wrote the actress on Twitter: “Anthony gave all of himself in everything that he did. “His brilliant, fearless spirit touched and inspired so many, and his generosity knew no bounds. “He was my love, my rock, my protector. I am beyond devastated. “My thoughts are with his family. I would ask that you respect their privacy and mine.” Argento and Bourdin did not publicize their romance very much, but the latter spoke out in praise and admiration of the former last year amidst the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal because Asia was one of the first women who accused the movie producer of rape. The actress and the late chef met on an episode of Parts Unknown that was filmed in Rome and started dating last year. Bourdain’s death has sent shockwaves through Hollywood. It took place just three days after designer Kate Spade also committed suicide ; also via hanging. French police have to People Magazine that Bourdain and Ripert were in France together while filming an installment of Bourdain’s award-winning series — and Ripert has now also issued a statement in the wake of this tragedy. It reads as follows: Anthony was a dear friend. He was an exceptional human being, so inspiring and generous. One of the great storytellers of our time who connected with so many. I wish him peace. My love and prayers are with his family, friends and loved ones. Bourdain leaves behind an 11-year old daughter. His best-selling memoir, “Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly,” led to his first television show on The Food Network, which eventually led to Parts Unknown premiering on CNN in 2013. It immediately won a Peabody Award. Bourdain was 61 years old. May he rest in peace. View Slideshow: Anthony Bourdain: Celebrities React to Shocking Suicide
The name David Leavitt might not be familiar to you, but there’s a very good chance you’ve seen his awful attempts at humor or insight clogging up your social media feeds. Many people first became aware of Leavitt when he famously thought the correct way to respond to news of the Manchester bombing that claimed 22 lives was to make jokes at the expense of Ariana Grande . “MULTIPLE CONFIRMED FATALITIES at Manchester Arena,” Leavitt tweeted. “The last time I listened to Ariana Grande I almost died too.” And folks, the rib-ticklers didn’t end there. In response to criticism, Leavitt decided to keep his “dad-joke night in the Catskills” routine going by tweeting: “Honestly, for over a year, I thought an Ariana Grande was something you ordered from Starbucks.” Leavitt was swiftly and rightly roasted to a crisp on that memorable occasion, and while most people would’ve taken their licks and happily limped back into obscurity, it seems Dave has fallen in love with his new career as a professional troll. As you’ve likely heard by now, the world awoke today to news that beloved chef, writer, and television personality Anthony Bourdain passed away . It’s difficult to think of an international celebrity who cultivated such an intimate relationship with his fans, and millions are mourning a death that feels much more personal than the passing of most public figures. So leave it to Leavitt to solidify his reputation as the world’s most tone-deaf dumbass by thinking today would be a good day to settle his long-simmering feud with Bourdain. In the wake of the Manchester incident, Bourdain was one of thousands who pointed out to Leavitt that he’s the very worst kind of person. “You, sir, are truly a steaming, gaping,” Bourdain tweeted with his trademark candor. When Anthony Bourdain describes you as a piece of anatomy he wouldn’t eat on the Mekong Delta in front of a camera crew, you know you effed up, and it seems Leavitt really took the insult to heart. “Selfishly taking your own life and hurting your friends and family makes you the steaming, gaping asshole Anthony Bourdain,” Leavitt tweeted this afternoon. He then doubled down by casusally informing his followers that Bourdain is burning in hell: “You don’t go to heaven when you kill yourself. It’s incredibly selfish. Don’t do it,” he tweeted, adding: “If you’re religious, then you believe there’s a special place in hell or purgatory for people like Anthony Bourdain who take their own lives.” Leavitt then attempted to score points on Kate Spade’s suicide , accusing the late designer of courting depression by chasing “material goods and ego boosts.” After being ratioed within an inch of his life and losing over 1,000 followers in an hour, Leavitt attempted to backtrack and play the old “actually, I’m more affected by this tragedy than you are” card. “A couple close friends have taken their lives,” he tweeted. “That’s why I’m opinionated on this.” It’s hard to know what to say when a life as big and bold as Anthony Bourdain’s ends in such a tragic fashion, so we’ll just encourage you to call the National Suicide Prevention hotline at 1-800-273-8255 if you’re plagued by thoughts of self-harm. Oh, and don’t follow David Leavitt on Twitter. That’s just sound advice for everyone. View Slideshow: Anthony Bourdain: Celebrities React to Shocking Suicide
Charles Krauthammer, the long-time conservative columnist and television pundit, informed readers on Friday morning that he is confronting an aggressive form of cancer. He says he will be dead within the next few weeks. “My doctors tell me their best estimate is that I have only a few weeks left to live,” Krauthammer wrote very simply in The Washington Post earlier today. Krauthammer passed along this devastating piece of news in a short, matter-of-fact note on the website of the aforementioned newspaper, for which he’s worked as a columnist since 1984. “I leave this life with no regrets,” Krauthammer added in the farewell message, which has been making the Internet rounds all day. He continued: “It was a wonderful life — full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living. “I am sad to leave, but I leave with the knowledge that I lived the life that I intended.” That’s a pretty amazing and admirable attitude for anyone to have, considering what Krauthammer is facing right now. Krauthammer has also worked as commentator for Fox News over the past few years. However, he was forced to step away from both the newspaper and the cable network last August for surgery to remove what he called at the time “a cancerous tumor in my abdomen.” It appeared at one point as if the cancer was in remission, but Krauthammer confirmed on Friday that this positive news was only temporary. “Recent tests have revealed that the cancer has returned,” he wrote. “There was no sign of it as recently as a month ago, which means it is aggressive and spreading rapidly.” In his note to readers, Krauthammer thanked co-workers, readers, and viewers “who have made my career possible and given consequence to my life’s work.” He added: “I believe that the pursuit of truth and right ideas through honest debate and rigorous argument is a noble undertaking. “I am grateful to have played a small role in the conversations that have helped guide this extraordinary nation’s destiny.” A handful of folks in the world of TV and politics have also chimed in after learning of this tragic news. For example, Rupert Murdoch, the executive chairman of Fox News, said in a statement Friday afternoon: Charles has been a profound source of personal and intellectual inspiration for all of us at Fox News. His always principled stand on the most important issues of our time has been a guiding star in an often turbulent world, a world that has too many superficial thinkers vulnerable to the ebb and flow of fashion, and a world that, unfortunately, has only one Charles Krauthammer. H is words, his ideas, his dignity and his integrity will resonate within our society and within me for many, many years to come. And Vice President Mike Pence Tweeted the following: Karen and I were saddened to learn that Charles @krauthammer, a man we greatly admire, is nearing the end of his extraordinary life. His wit, his wisdom, and his tireless defense of Western values have made an indelible mark on the minds of millions of Americans.
Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley may not belong together. We know this statement may come as a shock to some, but we just really get the impression that this Jersey Shore cast member and his on-again/off-again/on-again girlfriend really ought to be off again. For good. We’ve arrived at this bold conclusion following multiple reports that Ronnie and Jen got into a fight on Thursday in Las Vegas. Like, an actual physical fight. According to Us Weekly, the intense disagreement got underway after Harley showed up in Las Vegas, where Ronnie is filming scenes for the new season of Jersey Shore. This was not a planned visit… and it quickly deteriorated into a gigantic and very ugly mess. “ Ronnie and Jen have been fighting over their daughter,” an insider tells Us Weekly, elaboraring as follows: “Ronnie has been filming the show in Vegas the last couple of days and Jen wouldn’t tell him where their daughter is. She showed up to the hotel where they were filming. “Jen lunged, spit and shoved Ronnie. Hotel security got involved, who then called the Las Vegas police department.” Does this sounds a tad bit insane? Yes. But remember: Ronnie and Jen engaged in a vicious social media argument just a few weeks ago, one that entailed Ronnie labeling his estranged lover a ” cum dumpster ” and Harley responding by saying Ronnie was a “coke head” and awful father. (Yes, father . Ronnie and Jen welcomed a daughter together in early April. God help us all.) This war of words nearly broke the entire Internet and you can read all about it here: View Slideshow: Ronnie Magro Brawls with Girlfriend on Instagram Live, Apologizes to Fans After Breakup Somehow, some way, for the sake of their child we guess, Ronnie and Jen chose to stay together and battle through their personal demons and numerous obstacles. But it sounds as if their relationship is about to be tested once again. “When police got to the hotel, they couldn’t find Jen,” the Us Weekly insider adds. “She left the hotel at that point. They are still trying to find her for questioning.” This source also says that spitting on someone in Las Vegas is considered a misdemeanor, which is sort of hilarious. Isn’t someone spit on in Las Vegas about once per hour? Meanwhile, a follow-up to this initial story claims that Ortiz-Magro and Harley were arguing was the death of their dog. We’ll let the tabloid insider explain what allegedly transpired: “Their pit bull died. That’s part of why they were fighting. “Jen was supposed to be taking care of the dogs when he was away filming, and Ronnie came home to their house and found the dog dead in the pool.” Yikes. Going back to their back-and-forth in late April, the duo exchanged insults on social media and both accused each other of cheating… and then appeared to get into an actual brawl on Instagram Live. “Put your hands on me again! Put your f-cking hands on me again, I dare you!” Ronnie yelled in the livestream that was captured by fans and shared on Twitter.

Source: photo: WENN After missing out on making the Hall of Fame his first go ’round, Terrell Owens has been chosen to be enshrined in that building in Canton, Ohio. However, he’s not impressed with that feat anymore. At least not enough to attend his own ceremony. In an act of defiance (and pettiness), Terrell Owens has chosen to skip his induction into the Hall of Fame for a celebration of his own according to ESPN . “While I am incredibly appreciative of this opportunity, I have made the decision to publicly decline my invitation to attend the induction ceremony in Canton,” Owens said in a statement released Thursday. “… After visiting Canton earlier this year, I came to the realization that I wish to celebrate what will be one of the most memorable days of my life, elsewhere.” Um, ok. While TO’s decision reeks of resentment and bitterness, HOF president David Baker respects Owen’s choice to not attend. “We are disappointed but will respect Terrell’s decision not to participate in the enshrinement,” Hall of Fame president David Baker said in a statement. “While unprecedented, the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the nearly 5,000 volunteers and the entire community are committed to celebrating the excellence of the Class of 2018 that will kick off the NFL’s 99th season.” The ceremony will take place on August 4th in Canton, Ohio, which leaves Owen’s a lot of time to change his mind, but from the looks of things he seems ready to live with a big regret just to make a point. At least he took the time to congratulate everyone else who made it to legendary status. “I wish to congratulate all past, current and future inductees,” Owens said in the statement. “It is quite an honor to be part of such elite company. This honor is something that I will cherish forever.” It’s not too late to get over your own ego, TO. Just sayin.’
Source: NurPhoto / Getty Instagram just released a new update. NO, it’s not in regards to making your timeline chronological again, but it is something users have been asking for. Well sort of. Instagram @mention sharing which will now allow users to re-share Instastories but there is a catch though, you have to be tagged in the post. This marks the first time Instagram has publicly announced they have been considering the feature. They did test a regram button, but this version of re-sharing in this limited capacity is as close to a regram button users will get for now. Here is how the new feature will work as broken down Instagram on its blog : “When someone mentions you in their story, you receive a notification in your Direct message thread with that person — now, you’ll see an option to add that content to your own story. Tap it to see that story as a sticker – you can scale, rotate and position it and add creative tools like text or stickers on to it as well. When your followers see your story, the original poster’s username will appear and will be tappable, so people can explore your friend’s profile as well. Only public accounts can have their stories shared.” Source: Instagram / Instagram The latest update comes on the heels of reports of Instagram entertaining the idea of hour-long videos and adding a mute feature . This news though is more welcoming because it’s a feature that was honestly wanted. We still are waiting for the company to announce they plan on making our timelines great again by fixing the algorithm. We thought we were heading in that direction back in March when they announced “Newer Posts” will show in your feed more often. The @mention sharing update is officially live on both iOS and Android versions of the Instagram app. — Photo: NurPhoto / Getty/Instagram
