Em Rat Cow Forgets Her Roots of the DAy

Em Rat Cow is dressed like some homeless orphan in some Charles Dickens story…layers and layers of covered the fuck up as a passive aggressive “go fuck yourself you fucking fans, I am more than just tits”… But after much thought, much analysis, much field work and interviews of people in my head…we have collectively decided – no she’s not more than tits. Sure she can want to be an actor, stealing jobs from actors, because she’s got a following on social media the producers assume mean she’ll fill seats…but you can’t jerk off in the kind of theaters her movies are shown in, at least not legally, because I’ve proven you can jerk off anywhere if they police don’t catch you, even though her skill set and talent would make you think she should be shown in the theaters you can jerk off in….but I guess her scam has kept her out of porn…but it definitely should keep her out of clothing…because when in clothing you can see how much she really doesn’t matter… The post Em Rat Cow Forgets Her Roots of the DAy appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .

Not Beliebers: Katy Perry gets booed when she suggests covering a Justin Bieber track at London show

  Katy Perry found out the hard way that not everyone shares her love for Justin Bieber when she told fans she was thinking of singing one of his songs at her gig at London’s Hammersmith Apollo on Friday The I Kissed A Girl star, 26, mused out loud that she fancied tackling one of the 17-year-old’s tunes – perhaps Baby? – during the sell-out date, but got booed and catcalled for bothering. The singer was apparently left shocked by the hostile response, and chided the audience: ‘Justin is mine and (husband) Russell’s adopted son. We love him dearly. Don’t boo him, guys. Come on.’ Katy and Justin have become good friends with Katy puckering up to congratulate him at winning four gongs at the American Music Awards last November. According to The Sun, the teen star reckons his deprived upbringing makes him an ideal candidate to play Charles Dickens’s classic character .  Good friends: Justin and Katy at last November’s American Music Awards in Los Angeles Speaking about growing up in a council flat in Canada, he confessed: ‘That place was really dirty. We had mousetraps everywhere because there were mouses – uh, mice – in the house.’ ‘I didn’t have a real bed. I slept on a blue pull-out couch in my room. We didn’t have anything in the fridge, except maybe luncheon meat for school and macaroni and cheese. I’d love to play Oliver Twist.’ In other Bieber news, his 3D concert movie Never Say Never has become the most successful ever live film, overtaking the takings of the late Michael Jackson’s This Is It.   In the U.S. alone, the film has already made $72.2 million since it’s release last month, compared to Jacko’s This Is It which grossed $72.1 million in 2009. The star was in Germany at the weekend and larked about trying on a blonde wig during filming of TV show Wetten Dass…? at a fairground in Augsburg.
