Kim Kardashian Defends Video Game, Blames Parents for Lack of Credit Card Control

Kim Kardashian sat across from Matt Lauer this morning on Today, confirming that North West has grown, that she’s in a “mama’s girl” phase and that, yes, she’ll have a second child at some point. Kim also talked in detail about her video game, following complaints that kids are spending too much money trying to emulate her expensive lifestyle online. Author Ayelet Waldman especially took Kim and her family to task, referring to the Kardashians as “evil” and “vile” after her son spent hundreds of dollars playing Kim Kardashian Hollywood. “You just have to make sure that your parental controls are all set,” Kim told Lauer. “I think you just have to be responsible, and don’t have your credit card linked to where your kid can just spend if they want to, or ask permission.” Okay. That’s actually perfectly reasonable. Kardashian also said that half-sister Kylie Jenner spent $300 on the game, though she can afford it and a lot of that money goes back into her family’s bank account. So… yeah. “It’s just a fun little game, kind of like when people get into Candy Crush so much,” Kim added in defense of the game. “It’s just something fun to do.” You know, like watching the Kim Kardashian sex tape . We get it. Kim Kardashian Video Game: A Player’s Guide 1. The Kim Kardashian Video Game Congratulations! You’re Kim Kardashian! Minus 200.

Helen Flanagan in Some Lingerie for Some Magazine of the Day

I don’t know why I am fascinated by Helen Flanagan’s story…she was a soap star in the UK, who may not have been all that famous but was on TV, which is more famous than most of the girls I follow on Instagram…and instead of pursuing that career…you know since she was already on TV and it would theoretically be easy to get more work in TV…she decided to strip down in magazines and become a Glamour model…something I can’t imagine pays better than being on TV…because I am convinced these girls who are all average looking at best…do it for the attention and stamp of approval that leads to richer and more famous boyfriends…since their public profile is more than what it was when they were just working as a cocktail waitress…but I am not complaining, any reason from Daddy Issues to credit card debt to get a girl half naked is a win for me…

My love and devotion for Justin started when I had my Youtube…

My love and devotion for Justin started when I had my Youtube account to communicate with friends back in sixth grade, and a subscriber of mine sent me the link of Justin’s ‘One Time’ music video. As soon as I saw it, I fell into complete love. I spent the next four years of my life, hanging up posters all around my room, making sure I never missed a talk show he was interviewed on & watching him on Youtube videos. I couldn’t make it to his first concert tour when he came to Columbus but that didn’t stop me from believing that I could see him in the future. When Justin added more shows to his Believe tour,  Columbus, Ohio was one of the stops. I was so excited to tried to get tickets. I begged my mom to let me stay home from school to buy them. She was a little skeptical at first. “Jaclyn, tickets from Ticketmaster are hard to get, I don’t know if I want you missing school for that reason.” But I had faith that I could get tickets. After an hour, my mom finally agreed to let me stay home. The next morning, I woke up and went online and sat there and waited. I clicked “JUSTIN BIEBER VIP MEET AND GREET EXPERIENCE” and I got the tickets! I ran screaming and crying to my mom and she was so happy and grabbed the laptop and started filling our info out. I was watching the timer and I was so nervous. Finally it was the last step, we were filling out our credit card info and we clicked on “Authorize.” While Ticketmaster was authorizing our credit card, our time ran out and my tickets were gone forever. I have never been so upset in my life. I was upset for the next couples months. Then on June 18th, I was on my way to a One Direction concert (my sister really likes them) and I was ranting about my M&G tickets that were taken away from me. My mom started smiling at me and I was very confused. Then she looks at me and says, “I bought you some meet and greet tickets the other day. YOU ARE GOING TO MEET JUSTIN.” I didn’t believe her. I was in such shock. Then a month later, on July 12th it was the big day. I got all ready and we drove up to Columbus. After anxiously sitting in the VIP lounge, it was finally time to go backstage and meet Justin. I waited in line, behind the curtains for about 30 minutes. Finally, after 4 years of looking up to someone so perfect, it was finally time for me to walk behind the curtain, and have my life changed forever. I walked into the curtain and there he was. Standing there all perfect with his black snapback with an orange diamond on it and a black tank-top. “I love you,” I said to him. Still in disbelief that I had met him. “Well I love you too” he replied. WHAT. Justin Bieber just told me he loved me. He gestured me to come closer and we took our picture. “Can I please have a hug?” I asked. He grabbed me and squeezed me so tight. I will NEVER forget that hug or the way it felt. That was a perfect moment. A special moment. The moment I will never forget. Read more here: My love and devotion for Justin started when I had my Youtube…

Freaky Florida Crazies: 21-Year-Old Babysitter Popped For Having Sex With 11-Year-Old Boy Under Her Care

Woman Arrested For Having Sex With 11-Year-Old Boy Under Her Care SMH at these pedophiles!!!! Via NY Daily News: A Florida woman allegedly had sex with the 11-year-old child she was hired to babysit. Megan Nicole Hayes, 21, was arrested Thursday on felony charges for the sexual battery of a child under the age of 12. The young woman is intellectually challenged and does not know right from wrong, her father told local media. He later informed the Orlando Sentinel that the family is not interested in addressing the media anymore. The Cocoa Police Department told station WKMG that Hayes confessed to the sexual abuse that occurred May 27 in the coastal city of Cocoa. Hayes, from the city of Rockledge, is being held without bond at the Brevard County Jail. She was arrested back in February on credit card fraud and petty theft charges, court records show. Hmmmmm…would you let someone intellectually challenged take care of your kids?? Orlando Sentinel Continue reading

Oscars E-Voting Too Hard For Tech-Illiterate Academy Members, Also Get Off My Lawn

According to THR ‘s Scott Feinberg, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences ‘ newfangled online voting system, implemented this year to make it easier for members to hand Anne Hathaway that statuette and such, is doing just the opposite . Voters can’t remember their passwords, web security is questionable, and important papers are being mistakenly tossed in the trash like annoying credit card offers. “It’s probably more difficult for members to log on than it is for hackers,” said one Oscars voter. Wait a second guys: This could be great. Who needs a Brett Ratner — this could be just what the Oscars need to finally jazz and youthen things up! Granted, it’s a real problem. Who knows how many ballots won’t be cast, or how e-apathy will decimate voter turnout? HOW WILL BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL GET ALL THE OSCARS?? Oh, I kid. And not to be ageist but as Feinberg points out, as we well know, the Academy skews older — a concern he and other pundits had when the e-voting change was announced: At the time, some (me included) speculated that the change might be too much too soon, particularly because “more than a few members don’t even have computers and/or know how to use the Internet.” (The median age of the Academy’s 5,765 members, according to a recent study, is 62.) [UPDATE: It’s worth pointing to Movie City News ‘s David Poland, who suggests that the Academy’s senior members are merely scapegoats for a flawed system.] I’m sure the Academy will figure it out, extend a deadline, put a few more volunteers on the HelpDesk lines. And I’m positive the media hubbub won’t attract the internet attention of those insidious hackers out there. The Dark Knight Rises , Avengers , Project X — your Oscar chances just skyrocketed! I leave you with these actual real quotes from Oscar voters, via Feinberg: “My son had to show me that I was done voting and what to press in order to submit. … The whole site was a little bit confusing. … I imagine some of the less technologically savvy Academy members might be struggling with this. … It would be an obvious target [for hackers]. … I’m not convinced that it’s exactly the Fort Knox of sites. It’s probably more difficult for members to log on than it is for hackers!” “Listen, I don’t do anything online. You know, I don’t even have a computer. I’m writing my next book in longhand with drawings in notebooks!” “I still haven’t voted. I couldn’t remember my password, so [after a few tries] they locked me out of it. Once they lock you out of it, you can’t get back in, so you have to get a whole new password and everything, so I did that… I called the help line, and I asked them to walk me through it, and they were very polite and friendly, but you could just hear in the girl’s voice that I was not the only one complaining that day. … And then they said you can’t vote for 24 hours. … I have heard from several [fellow members] that it’s been a disaster and they wanted to give up because they couldn’t navigate the system. It wasn’t even letting them in, requiring dual passwords and all this nonsense. … It’s easier to break into the CIA*.” *Not that this voter would seem to know from experience. Read the full report over at THR and let’s get to predicting what the 2012 Oscars will look like once our new haxorz overlords take over. [ THR ] Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter .
