Clifford ain’t ’bout to tolerate no disrespec’ patnah! T.I. Angry That His Likeness And Hip Hop Is Associated With Boston Bombing According to TMZ reports : T.I. is pissed … telling TMZ he has no connection to the hip hop website frequented by dead Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev … a site that prominently featured the rapper’s mug. T.I. had no idea his pictures were posted — he’d never even HEARD of Real-HipHop.com — and he’s upset that the hip hop genre is now connected to the bombers. “Hip hop narrates the activity and conditions of our culture,” he tells us. “It doesn’t create them.” T.I. is frustrated: “Hip hop ain’t never been about hurting innocent people,” T.I. said. He feels Boston “was a horrible tragedy and my prayers go out to the families involved.” Seriously though, we’re with The Kang on this one. What the FAWK does the fact that Tamerlan listened to rap music have to do with the murder of innocent people?! Sounds like another way for the media to connect people of color to terrorism …SMMFH Image via TMZ
Justin’s time in London over tour has been so over-exaggerated by the media. 85% of his trip was great, just certain nights paps were out of line and downright disrespectful. Clearly the culture barrier was a bit of a shock to certain people but everything he did here was fully acceptable, and the majority of rumours that went around were all false. My favourite experience of the Believe Tour was the early morning of Justin’s birthday. I had one goal for tour and that was to wish him a happy birthday and I got to do just that. The day before, I had finished college at lunchtime so I met up with Shanice to check out want was happening at the hotel, as it had become routine for Justin to come back to London after every show in the UK. He should have been back that day but when we got to the hotel, the crew were leaving for their second show in Birmingham. Scrappy told us that there had been a coach crash on the motorway so Justin’s bus couldn’t get back to London so he stayed on the out skirts of Birmingham that night, but would be back tonight after the show. We asked what time and he said, “The show ends at 10:30 and its a 2 hour 30 minute drive. Do the math!” We were really excited and then we just chatted with him, Dan and Yael before they had to leave. After that we went home and told everyone to be at the hotel for midnight and to make sure to bring all our birthday presents. When we got to the hotel there were a few other fans, paps and loads of barriers up around the entrance. While we waited, we had to be sure that all our gifts were ready. It had hit 1 a.m. and a few of the guys were writing out their birthday cards and then I got a phone call from Maggie saying that she was on the bus at the traffic lights and Justin tour bus was right in front of hers. The road was really clear so it was literally just the tour bus as it came up to the drive. Everyone was silent and getting ready as the bus parked up at the entrance. The door of the bus opened and everyone started singing happy birthday. It had literally just been minutes into his birthday so it was a really cute moment. I went and stood next to the door and Dustin jumped out and was like, “Give me all your gifts and stuff.” He took all the fan’s presents and cards and put them in the hotel. He came back to get Justin off the bus and literally the second he got off, he turned towards the fans and I swear I just stood there in shock. All that was going round was “Ommmmg he’s shirtless, breathe, breathe.” Justin turned towards me. I swear he must of thought I was insane with my mouth just hanging open catching flies. He took a picture with a fan and ran inside. He was outside for no more than 30 seconds so I have no idea why the media even ran with that story. We knew as it was his birthday he would come out again, so we just waited around for another hour or so. Most people went home but the paparazzi stayed and we knew there’s no way they’re ruining this for him. We went round to the garage and we saw Dustin with the bat in his hand that Shannon and Maggie had put in Justin’s birthday bag. We were like, “Omg Justin opened the presents.” He gave it to Justin as he got into the Maybach with Bei. We were like “Yes the paps ain’t get nothing tonight.” As the cars pulled out of the garage, the paps started to get onto their motorbikes to follow Justin so went behind the last car and formed like a human chain so that their motorcycles couldn’t get past us and couldn’t follow him. The next thing you know, Justin rolled his window down, put his head out of the car and was waving the bat like, “Block the paps.” We let the cars go as far as possible without getting followed but at some point we had to let the chain go or we would get run over by other cars. At this point we were so pumped with adrenaline. We knew we had to keep this up. We had no idea what club he went to so we quickly checked nearby ones. He wasn’t there so we started thinking of other ones. Shannon was like, “Let’s check out Club 55 or After 2am known as BLC.” It was a short walk. We got to the club – jackpot, the Maybach and Rolls Royces were all parked out front. We have no idea how the paps found him so we told the lady at the front that we basically want to make sure that the paps don’t get any pictures of Justin and she said she would signal us when Justin was coming out. He wasn’t even in the club that long the women told Adele, and Jess that he was coming out. The Maybach pulled up to the entrance and the paps lined the gates of the club ready to get their shots. We spread out on each side, around the car lining it. The second we saw Dustin leave the club, we threw every blanket we had over the paps cameras. They were so shocked and some of them even dropped their cameras. Justin was shocked, and he walked back and forth to take the piss out of them knowing they couldn’t get any shots of him. The security from the club was trying to get us to stop but Dustin was like, “Let them do want they got to do, they’re helping.” He jumped into his car. The paparazzi were legit trying to fight us. As long we kept them distracted while Justin snuck away, that was fine by us. The cars drove away before the paps had even picked up their cameras. We got the job done so we went back to the hotel and we waited until he got back. The whole area was silent. Me and Mags were having a nap on each other (half the girls went to McDonalds quickly so unfortunately they missed it) and then all you heard was the loudest music ever and his car turned the corner. Justin’s car pulled up to the garage with the window down and Dustin and Mikey got out and was trying to organize people. When it was my turn to speak to Justin, he grabbed my hand and I said, “Happy Birthday Justin. Hope you had a great night so far,” and he squeezed my hand and was like, “Thank you babe. I had great night and I saw what you guys did back there, thank you.” Bei was like, “Yall are crazy!” I couldn’t even concentrate on what Bei said and Justin was just smiling. He was trying to get Lindi to take a picture but it was so cramped and Dustin tried his best to calm everyone down but Justin could only take a few pics because people weren’t listening. That is the end to a crazy morning and probably my favourite time meeting Justin. -@shay16_xo See the article here: Justin’s time in London over tour has been so over-exaggerated…

Nobody wants to pay for a Casey Anthony interview, but one man will pay her to never, ever do one. James Schober is offering $10K to buy her silence. For the rest of her life. According to new court documents filed in Casey Anthony’s bankruptcy case, she is almost $800K in the hole and has less than $1K to her name. This is because no matter how much our country loves gossip and notorious figures, no one is willing to go there with Casey. Except James Schober. He’s offering a relatively modest ten grand for the exclusive rights to Casey’s life story, but not to make it into a book or a movie or anything like that. The man claims he wants to own the rights solely so he can “prevent Ms. Anthony or others from publishing or profiting from her story in the future.” He’s just a random guy with no ties to Anthony or her family. The trustee handling her bankruptcy case has been tasked with identifying anything that can be used to pay off the money Casey Anthony owes. That’s how this was revealed, and while there’s no way a judge will agree to the offer, it’s still pretty great. If only they could force her to accept. Time will tell if she ever gets a better offer …
Amidst rumors that she has split from Liam Hemsworth , Miley Cyrus took to Twitter yesterday and seemingly shot down any talk of a break-up. “Lies took over the world,” the young star posted. “Facts don’t really hold value anymore!” Cyrus also stopped by Kat Von D’s office and had that famous tattoo artist etch some new ink on her right forearm. It’s a miniature version of DaVinci’s anatomical heart. Check it out here, courtesy of Von D’s Instagram account: What does all of this mean in terms of Miley’s engagement to Liam Hemsworth , who allegedly made out with January Jones at a party last month? Your guess is as good as ours.
Charlie Sheen urged his fans to deface his daughter’s former school earlier this week, and officials at the school want to see him prosecuted as a result. Sheen encouraged fans to exact revenge on the school after it did nothing to address a bullying situation involving his 9-year-old daughter Sam. Specifically, the 47-year-old actor suggested people start egging the place, toilet papering it and/or hucking dog feces at the building. Good times. Charlie removed Sam, his daughter with Denise Richards, from the Viewpoint School last May; it’s unclear why he waited until now to go off about it. The parents and administrators, in any case, and needless to say, are pissed at Charlie’s antics, fearing fans may actually act on the call to fecal arms. Several parents at the Viewpoint School say a meeting was held Thursday night to address Sheen’s Twitter rant; some want him to be prosecuted. As far as they’re concerned, Sheen has demonstrated that he is not only a credible threat to act upon his threats but a violent person as well. Parents say he’s threatened to shoot people, beat up Brooke Mueller , held a knife to her throat, shot Kelly Preston, and trapped a hooker in his hotel room . You know, among many other things. Sheen was never prosecuted for most of that, but needless to say, his track record is less than … sterling. Officials are lobbying to have him investigated for criminal threats as well as inciting violence and have contacted authorities about his nefarious plot. Probably overreacting a little. He had to be kidding … okay, maybe not.
Josh Duggar is making headlines. But, for once, it’s not for because he’s expecting another child . The reality star and committed pro-creator is considering an executive position with the Family Research Council, a move that is not sitting well with GLADD President Herndon Graddick. “Family Research Council is without a doubt one of our country’s most dangerous hate groups, led by the most anti-gay man in America, Tony Perkins,” Graddick told E! News Friday. The FRC lists its agenda as the advancement of “faith, family and freedom in public policy and the culture from a Christian worldview.” It supports marriage as only between “one man and one woman.” “Not only has Perkins compared gay people to terrorists, he also supports the ludicrous idea that gay youth should be subjected to harmful therapies that aim to make them straight,” Graddick said. “Unlike the Duggars, Perkins isn’t about family values, he’s about anti-gay hate.” Josh is the eldest son of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. He took part in ProLifeCon, the organization’s pro-life social-media forum, in January. This may be one feud that not even the Duggars Tater Tot Casserole recipe can mend.
This week on Teen Mom 2, Leah Messer decided that she maybe wants Jeremy Calvert back after all, while Jenelle Evans decided to get fake boobs. Kailyn Lowry continued her feud with baby daddy Jo Rivera, as Chelsea Houska continued being unaware that Adam Lind is a deadbeat loser. Read all about it in THG’s official Teen Mom 2 recap! Just one week ago, Leah Messer told Jeremy Calvert she was going to counseling with Corey Simms. Jer moved out, their engagement seemingly off. Surprisingly, he decides to meet up with Corey about this. Even more surprisingly, they have a civil conversation. They both fear that no matter who she chooses, she is going to be unsure of herself and change her mind a few months down the road. Yup. Plus 20 . Both love Leah Messer , but both fear being left in the dust by her. Corey, in a watershed moment for him, tells Jeremy there is no one better for Leah or the girls than him – Jeremy, that is. Plus 80 for that comment. When Leah tries to get Corey to commit to a counseling session, she doesn’t think he’s into it, which makes her think twice about this idea. Minus 50 . “I can tell you’re not very serious about this,” Leah tells Corey. He says he was … but now is not so sure. Simms may be right in his take on Calvert. “I’m going to call it quits for you because you’re not serious,” Leah says, seemingly breaking up with Corey for good. Then she calls Jeremy back. Will he pick up? Somehow we have a feeling he will . Plus 50 . Chelsea Houska had kept her protection-free boning of Adam Lind a secret from her mom, but finally tells her. Mom was not happy, but not too unhappy. “Why didn’t you insist he wear something?” she asks. Minus 100 for this not occurring to Chelsea, or frankly anyone on this show, and Minus 200 for hooking up with him regardless, as mom also notes. She goes back on her Mirena IUD, for what that’s worth. Then tragedy strikes. Chelsea learns that the owners of the house she’s renting are selling it and she has to move. She breaks down in tears. Come on girl. Minus 50 . You can handle life. A little? Plus 100 for the rock that is her dad Randy Houska, who says he’ll do what he can to help, and looks up places for Chelsea and Aubree to live. Chelsea wonders what it must be like to be Adam, a single dad without a care. Yet somehow does not think of Adam as the asshat that he is. Minus 150 . Kailyn Lowry and Jo Rivera are back in court, but she has even bigger concerns as he gets his own place just two blocks away from GF Vee Torres. Jo insists he will only take care of Isaac over at his parents’ house, but Kailyn worries Vee will be a negative influence and wants to take him to court. Jo is livid that she prefers to deal with him in court, not in person, and for good reason. Generally this is not the way to forge any amicable consensus. Minus 50 . Jenelle Evans is insecure about her body and wants breast implants. Why spend money or time on her son when she can get some fake boobs? Minus 250 . She thinks she looks like a “12-year-old” boy with her flat chest, especially in a bikini. We’ve seen Jenelle Evans nude , and wouldn’t go that far. Also, what does it matter anyway? Shouldn’t she focus on staying healthy and happy and being a good mother to her son? Apparently all non-factors. Luckily, the voice of reason, ex-BF Kieffer Delp, is against the fake boobs. Plus 50 . Until he tells her to do what she wants, though he’ll miss the old boobs. Minus 50 . Mom Barbara Evans is anti-implants too. “It’s fake, Jenelle,” she states. Plus 100 . At least Babs knows that she’s just gonna get them anyway, so she just insists Jenelle stay away from Jace during recovery. Priorities, right? EPISODE TOTAL: -500! SEASON TOTAL: -1,710!
A California lawyer named David Wohl may be Lindsay Lohan’s best chance to stay out of jail, and he’s trying to come on board her legal team before trial. Wohl wants to join New York attorney Mark Heller – who the judge reamed out as incompetent – when Lindsay’s case comes before the court March 18. The judge told Heller at a pretrial hearing to either bring in a California defense attorney who has a clue, or have LiLo waive her right to competent representation. Michael Lohan found Wohl, who’s practiced criminal defense law for 25 years and has offices in Orange County, and he is ready and willing to help. Wohl, who has handled cases ranging from shoplifting to murder over his career, has been in daily contact with Heller about the Lindsay Lohan case. LiLo hasn’t given Wohl her stamp of approval … yet. But even if she doesn’t, TMZ reports that MiLo has asked the attorney to show up in court with Heller anyway to force the issue, so stay tuned there. The actress is looking at up to eight months in jail for lying to police and violating probation. So far, overtures toward a plea deal have been rebuffed. One could still be struck at any time before the trial date, or even during the trial, if she actually agrees to go to rehab and get the help she needs. Don’t hold your breath for that scenario, though. Would require Lindsay Lohan using her brain, making a logical decision and being at all self-aware. Will she go to jail?! Yes. Her luck is running out and she’s going crazy! No! She always finds a way to get out of it! View Poll »
Who will succeed Pope Benedict XVI as the head of the Roman Catholic Church? No one will know until the white smoke comes out the conclave room chimney. That hasn’t stopped Vatican followers from rampantly speculating, however, and The College of Cardinals has no shortage of factors – and candidates – to consider. Below are some of the key figures of the world’s biggest church whose names have emerged from experts as potential candidates to become the next Pope: The top-secret conclave kicks off today. The Cardinals will undoubtedly consider … Cardinal Angelo Scola, 71: He’s the archbishop of Milan, a good launching pad, and the former Patriarch of Venice, which has produced many a papal candidate. Cardinal Marc Ouellet, 68: A frontrunner, the former archbishop of Quebec, who heads the Congregation of Bishops, also speaks six languages. Cardinal Leonardo Sandri, 69: Born in Argentina to Italian parents, Sandri was No. 2 in the Vatican Secretary of State’s office under Pope John Paul II. Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, 70: The Italian-born president of the Pontifical Council for Culture, Ravasi is seen as both media-savvy and hugely popular. Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, 70: The archbishop of Genoa is well-connected, having served twice as the president of the Italian bishop’s conference. Cardinal Peter Turkson, 64: The first Ghanaian cardinal, he’s president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace and the Vatican’s point man on Catholicism in Africa. Cardinal Odilo Scherer, 63: Born in Brazil to parents of German extraction, Scherer’s edge is geography; he hails from a region that is home to half the world’s Catholics. Cardinal Timothy Dolan, 63: The head of the archdiocese of New York is seen as one of the Vatican’s most popular figures – charismatic, camera-ready and conservative. Who do you think will be the next Pope? Cardinal Angelo Scola Cardinal Marc Ouellet Cardinal Leonardo Sandri Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco Cardinal Peter Turkson Cardinal Odilo Scherer Cardinal Timothy Dolan Someone else View Poll »
