Brazilian Team Signs Murderer People are outraged over a Brazilian soccer club that just signed a goalie with a murderous past. Bruno Fernandes de Souza signed with the Boa Esporte Soccer Club on Monday, prompting WTF’s all over the world. Bruno Fernandes Des Souza was convicted in 2010 of hiring a friend to murder his girlfriend and then feeding her body to live dogs. According to AP , is sentence was supposed to be for 22 years, but he was released on the grounds his appeal in a higher court was languishing. Souza responded to critics and those who are fearful of him in an ESPN Brazil press conference “People run from me because of what happened in the past.” He added, “Boa is opening the doors (for me). I’m very happy, motivated.” Sponsors have threatened to drop support from the team, unless Boa Esporte drops Souza, ASAP. Wikipedia Image
Sometimes people who have the most in common have trouble getting along for the simple reason that they each see their worst qualities reflected in one another. It’s probably why Quentin Tarantino has beef with fellow fast-talking movie geek Spike Lee. It might even be have something to do with the fact that Donald Trump hates fellow rage-aholic white guy Alec Baldwin so much more than all the other comics who roast him. And it’s definitely the reason that Vanderpump Rules’ resident d-bag Jax Taylor can’t get along with fellow reality douche Nick Viall: As you probably know by now, Viall got engaged to Vanessa Grimaldi on last night’s season finale of The Bachelor. But while Vanessa may have fallen head-over-heels for Nick, it seems Jax would rather give him a heel to the head. It seems the famous-ish bros butted heads at a recent event to promote a mutual friend’s new hotel/nightclub venture. According to Taylor, he asked Viall to pose for a pic to help promote the business, and Nick rudely refused. “I go, ‘First of all, buddy, don’t toot your own horn, I have no f—ing idea who you are,’” Jax recently told Bravo’s Daily Dish blog. Hilariously, Jax proceeded to go off on Viall for, of all things, starring on a “disposable reality show”: “I know you’re on The Bachelor — okay, good for you, great,” Taylor said. “You’re on a disposable reality show that you’ll be gone in five minutes and no one will know who you are, so you want to get your five minutes of fame in now.” In case he hadn’t already made his feelings perfectly clear, Jax added: “I just think he’s a d-bag,” Yes, when this is the same Jax Taylor who, despite pulling in over half a million a year, still gets arrested for stealing sunglesses . The same Jax who regularly claims ownership of his girlfriend’s boobs because he paid for her breast implants. When that guy is calling you a d-bag, it may be time to re-assess your own douchiness. Hopefully Vanessa is going into this thing with her eyes wide open… View Slideshow: Vanessa Grimaldi: The Bachelor Favorite!!
Eventually, you’ll be familiar with El Chapo from the inevitable Netflix series based on his exploits, but in case you can’t wait that long, here’s a run-down: Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was digging tunnels in Mexico long before the Donald hatched his cartoon supervillain plan to build a border wall. The infamous drug lord escaped from prison twice before being recaptured and extradited to the United States. As if that’s not Hollywood enough, it was actor Sean Penn who inadvertently led police to El Chapo after interviewing the head of the Sinaloa Cartel for a piece in Rolling Stone. These days, Guzman’s life is considerably less glamorous. The 62-year-old is currently being held in solitary confinement in New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Complex. Sources say Guzman is confined to a “closet-sized” cell 23 hours a day, five days a week. He’s permitted to leave the cell for one hour each weekday so that he can work out on a treadmill or stationary bike to prevent his muscles from atrophying. Chapo’s lawyers are in court this week arguing that the treatment is inhumane, and petitioning for their client to be relocated to the facility’s general population wing. It’s a tough sell for a couple of reasons: 1. Chapo is a two-time escapee, and if prison officials are no doubt concerned that he’ll try again. 2. Chapo is an A-list celebrity in the crime world, a fact that could make him an esay target for inmates with something to prove. Interestingly, insiders tell TMZ that Guzman isn’t all that concerned with the upcoming trial that will likely land him behind bars for the rest of his life. Instead, he’s reportedly more focused on his celebrity status . “He regularly asks his lawyers, ‘What are they saying about me?’ He’s very concerned about his image,” says a source inside the prison. Of course, he needn’t worry too much, as a story like his probably won’t go too much longer without being adapted for the screen. View Slideshow: 19 Celebrities Who May Have Killed People It’s a thorny issue, because on one hand, El Chapo is a murderous gangster who’s devastated whole communities, and thus, probably doesn’t deserve to be celebrated. But on the other hand, the guy had to spend two days hanging out with Sean Penn. So when you think about it, he’s really already suffered enough.
For a while there, it looked like Rob Kardashian was on the verge of a comeback. After months spent in hiding, indulging in substance abuse and compulsive overeating, Rob executed an impressive turnaround, landing himself a fiancee, a daughter, and a reality show in the process. With the help of Blac Chyna Rob lost weight , rebuilt his business, and re-entered society. Unfortunately, lasting change takes time, and looking back, we should’ve known Rob’s redemption would be short-lived, if only because it happened so quickly. These days, Rob and Blac have broken up , and they’re said to be locked in an ugly custody battle over 4-month-old Dream Kardashian. Not surprisingly, their reality series, Rob & Chyna has been canceled , because it’s hard to film a show about two people who refuse to be in the same room together. Perhaps most troublingly, Rob’s mother froze his checking accounts after being notified that he had been spending money at an alarming rate. Some sources close to the family took his excessive spending as a sign that Rob is back on drugs. Others believe he’s merely funneling cash to Blac without his mother’s knowledge. Either way, the situation seems to have raised an important question among fans: Just how much money is Rob worth these days, anyway? At the end of 2016, Rob’s net worth was estimated at around $6 million. Of course, at the time, he had recently wrapped filming on the first (and only) season of Rob & Chyna, and his Arthur George collection of novelty socks was once again selling after years of lying dormant. (For a long time the Rob’s business’ website was completely blank.) Unfortunately, as far as future income goes, Rob’s prospects are looking pretty bleak. Obviously his show is a thing of the past, sock sales are rumored to have slumped, and insiders say he’s back on the outs with several members of his family and thus, won’t be participating in much Keeping Up With the Kardashians Season 13. (Yes, KUWTK has really been on the air that long.) All of this comes at a time when Rob will likely soon be shelling out major bucks for child support. Blac Chyna is well-off, but her net worth is estimated to be less than half of Rob’s, and her career path is looking a treacherous, as well. Sounds like now would be a good time for Rob to make nice with his more cash-savvy mother and sisters.

In some respects, the Duggars are an open book. They’ve starred in two reality series that both put their personal lives front and center, and all of the Duggars who are married (and thus permitted to use social media) enjoy offering regular updates to their millions of followers. But for all their talent with commodifying the most mundane aspects of their day-to-day routines, the Duggars are just as skilled at keeping the more unseemly aspects of their lives under wraps. The biggest skeleton in Duggar’s closet, of course, goes by the name of Josh. The Josh Duggar sex scandals were so vile that many are still (justifiably) astonished that the family was granted a second shot at reality stardom. These days, Counting On producers go to almost comical lengths to keep Josh off camera , even adding face-obscuring lens flares in post-production like a bunch of J.J. Abramses on Adderall. But they can’t completely deny the existence of Josh, which is why he’s still represented on the family’s official website: That’s Josh’s entry in the Duggar family “scrapbook” and as the folks at Refinery 29 pointed out, there’s all types of weird and wild sh-t going on here. Where to begin? For starters, Josh hasn’t worked at the Family Research Council in almost two years. Seems the conservative think tank wasn’t too thrilled with the revelation Josh molested four of his sisters . Go figure. Despite the fact that Josh’s relationship with the FRC didn’t exactly end amicably, his profile pic appears to be him at some sort of event hosted by the organization. Anyway, these days Josh’s career prospects are in the gutter, which leads us to the other weird-as-hell tidbit here: Under future plans, Josh simply put down a question mark. Is he saying he doesn’t have any plans? Did his scandal throw him into such disarray that he’s been forced to torch his blueprints for the future? Isn’t Jesus supposed to be walking with him on a beach and directing him toward the next lucrative business venture or something? Whatever the case, at least Josh isn’t alone in aimlessness: Yes, Jana Duggar also can’t manage to come up with a single aspiration, thus indicating a lack of ambition that might be charming if she were a teenage Doc Marten enthusiast named Daria, but is a little weird coming from a 27-year-old who prides herself on her work ethic. It might not seem all that unusual to leave that section blank, but given how carefully the Duggars cultivate their public images it’s sort of a glaring omission. Like, it’s really not that hard to come up with one thing you want to do in the future, and giving voice to their goals would help the Duggars maintain the myth that they’re normal, well-rounded people. Hell, we could do it for them! Okay, Josh likes Frito chili pie, so why doesn’t he say that his goals for the future are to eat more Frito chili pie and refrain from groping any of his siblings? There! Problem solved! View Slideshow: Josh Duggar Sex Scandal Timeline: How His Family’s Empire Crumbled
Gilbert Arenas Crowns Nicki Minaj ‘Queen Of Rap’ Like most of you…Gilbert has some thoughts and opinions on the Nicki Remy beef …and he decided to share those in Nicki’s comment section on Instagram today. According to Gilbert’s logic, a non-charting street rapper who hasn’t even been relevant in the game for nearly a decade doesn’t even have the room or place to swipe at an artist on Nicki’s level. Not only because it isn’t a fair fight…but also because they don’t even run in the same musical circles. The way Gil sees it…mainstream hip hop is meant to be enjoyed anyway. After all, artists like Missy Elliott and Lauren Hill never had to battle street rappers to be on top… Furthermore, Gilbert says Remy has essentially shot herself in the foot with this move. If she ever wanted to top a chart — despite saying that doesn’t matter to her — she’d have little hope of it now after firing at one of the industry’s most connected mainstream artists … Then it basically devolved into typical Gil territory after that. Anyway, what do you think? Does he have a point?

SMH @ The end and them not passing Trump the spliff. Youtube/TMZ
