Jenner Sisters In Their Bikinis for the Paparazzi of the Day

It’s funny that it is legal for a mother to whore out her teen daughters for the media via the paparazzi they probably brought on vacation with them. I know it isn’t as bad as whoring them out to random men for sexual favors to help pay the rent, at least not in theory, according to society norms, but I have a feeling that the damage this does, will equally fuck them up, as if they were being whored out like whores, because ultimately, you are a product of your environment, and when you realize you’re opportunistic cunt mom is making you jump through hoops to fill her own egotistical needs, dreams and bribing you by giving you anything you want, it’s as empty as when it happens in the gutter. That’s why rich girls are just like stripper trash, just in nicer clothes and hotel rooms. I guess I shouldn’t care about the mental capacity of these demon children as they run around in their demon family, but they are in bikinis, and the skinny one aspires to be a Victoria’s Secret model, you see it’s good to raise them like this, they have such depth to their dreams and potential to contribute to society. Idiots. TO SEE THE REST OF THE PICS FOLLOW THIS LINK

Martin Scorsese And HBO Team Up On Bill Clinton Documentary

Martin Scorsese is taking on the 42nd President of the United States for his next project and Bill Clinton himself is fully participating in the non-fiction film. Produced in conjunction with HBO , the film will “explore his perspectives on history, politics, culture and the world.” Scorsese will produce and direct the film. In announcing the film, Scorsese said Clinton is a “Towering figure who remains a major voice in world issues,” adding, “President Clinton continues to shape the political dialogue both here and around the world. Through intimate conversations, I hope to provide greater insight into this transcendent figure.” William Jefferson Clinton served as the 42nd U.S. President from 1993 to 2001 and was the first Democratic leader in six decades to be elected twice. He is credited with leading the U.S. to one of the longest economic expansions in American history. After leaving office, he established the William J. Clinton Foundation which aims to “improve global health, strengthen economies, promote healthier childhoods and protect the environment by fostering partnerships among governments, business, NGOs and private citizens.” “President Clinton is one of the most compelling figures of our time, whose world view and perspective, combined with his uncommon intelligence, making him a singular voice on the world stage,” said HBO CEO Richard Plepler and programming president Michael Lombardo in a joint statement. “This documentary, under Marty’s gifted direction, creates a unique opportunity for the President to reflect on myriad issues that have consumed his attention and passion throughout both his Presidency and post-Presidency.” “I am pleased that legendary director Martin Scorsese and HBO have agreed to this film,” Clinton said in a statement. “I look forward to sharing my perspective on my years as President and my work in the years since with HBO’s audience.” Martin Scorsese collaborated with the 2011 doc George Harrison: Living in the Material World . He’s also worked with the premium network with the documentary Public Speaking (2010) and the series Boardwalk Empire , in which he is an executive producer.

That Other White Meat: New Pork Investigation Finds Rampant Numbers Of Bacteria In Meat Sold In Stores!

The amount of antibiotics pumped into pigs is just plain ‘ole ridiculous! According to The Huffington Post : A new Consumer Reports investigation of pork sold in grocery stores found that a startlingly large proportion of tested meat contained one or more potentially harmful bacteria, some of which showed signs of antibiotic resistance, raising new concerns about the safety of the national pork supply. But the investigation didn’t find the pathogens traditionally associate with pork — trichinosis and salmonella — to be the most widespread problems. Instead, a whopping 69 percent of the pork chop and ground pork samples tested by the magazine contained Yersinia enterocolitica bacteria, which sickens about 100,000 people a year, many of them children. Eleven percent contained Enterococcus bacteria and 7 percent contained Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Another 4 percent contained salmonella and 3 percent contained listeria. In general, the ground pork samples were more likely to harbor pathogens than the chop samples. The overwhelming majority of the bacteria found in the samples was resistant to at least one form of antibiotic — ranging from 63 percent of the Enterococcus to 93 percent of the Staphylococcus aureus. And many of those that were resistant to one kind of antibiotic were also resistant to several others. Most experts believe that the widespread administration of non-therapeutic antibiotics in livestock — which makes animals grow more quickly than they otherwise would — contributes to the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the environment. But antibiotics aren’t the only drug given to livestock. The Consumer Reports investigators also found traces of the drug ractopamine, which promotes growth and leanness in pigs, in about a fifth of the samples tested. Ractopamine is legal and generally considered fairly safe in America, but it is banned in China, Taiwan and most of the EU, and has been associated with anxiety and restlessness among those who ingest too much. The nearly 200 samples came from major grocery chains and national brands of pork from throughout the country. Consumer Reports recommends that consumers cook all their pork to 160 degrees to ensure that the bacteria, at least, is killed. You can read the full report on the Consumer Reports website or in the January 2013 issue of the magazine. That’s just nasty…you are what you eat folks! Images via shutterstock

The Last Stand Trailer: Arnold’s Back!

The Governator is back. Okay, he’s been back for a little while (for insight on his latest role, The Expendables 2 review at Movie Fanatic offers an in-depth analysis), but The Last Stand marks Arnold Schwarzenegger’s first lead role since be became Governor of California in 2003. Does he still have it?

Rage Against the Machine: Raging Against Paul Ryan!

Republican Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan has cited Rage Against the Machine as one of his favorite bands in a number of interviews. According to band member Tom Morello, the admiration is far from mutual. In a blistering Rolling Stone op-ed , Morello absolutely BLASTS Mitt Romney’s VP pick as “the embodiment of the machine our music rages against.” Morello compares Ryan’s appreciation of RATM to N.J. Gov. Chris Christie’s liking for Bruce Springsteen … or Charles Manson’s love for The Beatles. Painting him as “antithetical” to progress, Morello lambasts the Congressman’s “guiding vision of shifting revenue more radically to the one percent.” He goes on to observe that Paul Ryan has plenty of “rage,” but claims it’s “A rage against women, a rage against immigrants, a rage against workers, a rage against gays, a rage against the poor, a rage against the environment.” Ouch. The Grammy-winning guitarist has a history of outspoken activism, but he’s far from alone in wanting to separate his music from the GOP ticket. Wednesday, Silversun Pickups tore into Mitt Romney for playing their hit “Panic Switch” at an event … and joked that the title symbolizes his campaign. Sorry, Mitt and Paul. There’s always Ted Nugent and Dave Mustaine . Presidential election 2012 : [Photos: WENN.com]

Eddie Van Halen Explains Postponed Tour Dates

‘We bit off more than we could chew,’ Van Halen guitarist tells USA Today. By Kara Warner Eddie Van Halen Photo: Frazer Harrison/ Getty Images So what’s the real story behind those canceled Van Halen concerts? Fans have been speculating about the band’s cryptic announcement about the postponed dates last month , and thanks to Eddie Van Halen’s recent interview with USA Today, we have an answer. “We bit off more than we could chew,” Eddie Van Halen told the newspaper frankly. “This record took a lot out of us. And we went on tour earlier than we wanted to so we could play Madison Square Garden [in March, before the venue’s scheduled renovation], and that threw the schedule out of whack.” Van Halen said a lot of the canceled dates on their A Different Kind of Truth Tour were in cities they’d already played. “So in November, we’ll hit Japan, and in the New Year, we’ll possibly do something special,” he teased. “But I can’t talk about it.” Something he could talk about were rumors that the band had to cancel their concert dates because their members, particularly fiery frontman David Lee Roth, were fighting again, which Van Halen straight-up denied. “Dave’s the same as he’s always been, funny, witty,” Van Halen said of Roth. “Sometimes I can only take that in small doses, because he just goes on and on,” he added with a laugh. “But Dave always lands on his feet.” The reunion tour with Roth and Van Halen’s 21-year-old son Wolfgang kicked off February 18 and will play a total of 40 shows on this leg.

Mac Miller, Pharrell Making A ‘Political Statement’ On Pink Slime?

‘That sounds tight. What the f— is ‘pink slime’?,’ Miller said when Pharrell suggested the name for his EP. By Nadeska Alexis, with reporting by Rya Backer Mac Miller Photo: MTV News During Mac Miller ‘s recent visit to “RapFix Live,” he dropped some hints about his upcoming EP Pink Slime. But now the cat’s out of the bag as it’s been revealed that Pharrell will co-pilot the project. MTV News caught up with Miller at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Tennessee, where he chatted about recording with Skateboard P and dreaming up the EP’s title. The Pittsburgh rapper released the first Pink Slime single, “Onaroll,” on June 5 and performed it for the first time at Bonnaroo just a few days later. Before hitting the stage, he opened up about the collaborative project, admitting that he was nervous to record with Pharrell at first. “Pharrell is a very creative person with everything he does,” Mac said, detailing one of their recording sessions. “We did this one record called ‘Dreams,’ and he was like, ‘I’ma rap on this.’ So he goes outside for 20 minutes and he just comes back, gets in the booth and raps. I don’t know what he did in those 20 minutes, but he just went out and came back in with no paper, no anything, and just had a verse ready.” As far as the name of the project, that was Pharrell’s brainchild as well. “It was his idea. I was at a loss for names,” Mac admits. “I was on tour and I was talking to him and he’s like, ‘I got the name — it’s Pink Slime. ‘ I was like, ‘That sounds tight. What the f— is “pink slime”?’ He’s like, ‘Pink slime is the fake meat they use at McDonald’s,’ and I was like, ‘Cool, man.’ ” From there, the Blue Slide Park rapper got a little bit silly about the deeper meaning in the title. “The meaning is that there is so much filth and ammonia in the world and we’re just speaking on how we need to clean up the environment,” he joked. “The message is … we pay for a Big Mac, maybe give me some good beef in there. It’s really a political statement we’re making.” There’s no confirmed release date for Pink Slime just yet. Related Artists Mac Miller Pharrell Williams

REVIEW: 21 Jump Street Is Half Brilliant, Half a Mess, But Tatum and Hill Shine

There’s a peculiar kind of pleasure to be found in watching Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, in 21 Jump Street , horsing around and generally acting like doofuses for our amusement. As rookie cops assigned to patrol — by bicycle — a city park, they’re more than ready to prove their tough-guy status: When they spot a bunch of biker guys experiencing the joys of cannabis beneath a tree, they strut toward the gang in their shorts and bike helmets, but not before flipping their kickstands down with a mighty thwack . Later, Hill says a fervent prayer in the Catholic church that serves as headquarters for the undercover unit to which the duo has been assigned, its sign outside reading, in mistranslated Korean, “Aroma of Christ Church.” Hill kneels in front of the crucifix, beginning his urgent plea with the words, “Hey, Korean Jesus…” That irreverent riff captures the tone of the whole picture — it’s a ramshackle thing, a goof on the idea that anyone might actually care about a movie based on an old TV show, or that anyone might actually care about a movie at all. For the first half, at least, 21 Jump Street gives us reason to care. In recent years, the mania for turning old TV shows into movies has waned — a good thing, particularly given the ungodly mess known as The Green Hornet . Still, movies inspired by TV shows are coming back with a tiny vengeance — we have Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows , to name just one, to look forward to later this spring. And for now, 21 Jump Street is a small puff of fresh air simply because it’s not, like umpteen other releases coming down the pike, based on a comic-book series. Instead, its inspiration is a show that made its debut on the then-fledgling Fox Network in 1987 (and also helped launch the career of Johnny Depp, long before he became buried under Burton’s makeup or obscured by pirate-y facial hair), although this 21 Jump Street has its own distinct, goofy flavor. The movie opens in 2005, when Schmidt (Hill) and Jenko (Tatum) are still high school students. Schmidt is the smart, shlubby, unpopular one — he’s an Eminem nut with a crop of bottle-blond hair, which could be sort of cool if his braces didn’t ruin the whole effect. Jenko is the dumb, sleepy-eyed jock with lank, shaggy hair. When the school principal informs him that he can’t go to the prom and that it’s “time to pay the piper,” he squints at her dimly and murmurs, “I should pay who?” Fast-forward a few years, and these two have become first police academy buddies (Jenko, recognizing he could use some help in the smarts department, latches onto Schmidt) and then rookie officers. After botching that aforementioned pot bust, the two are reassigned to an undercover unit — headed by a hard-ass, and very funny, Ice Cube — in which their job is to pose as teenagers and find the source of a drug that’s sweeping the local high school. 21 Jump Street is at its best when directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller — the guys behind the much-loved 2009 Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs — just let Hill and Tatum run with the patent ridiculousness of the setup. (The script is by Michael Bacall, from a story by Bacall and Hill.) Hill is reasonably funny and relaxed here; even when he’s playing the loser-sadsack, he radiates more confidence than he has in the past, instead of just relying on shtick. He still has that unassuming, “Who, me?” demeanor, but he’s more fully in control of it than ever before. And Tatum, who has already proved to be a marvelous dramatic actor even in throwaway pictures like Dear John (he also recently starred in the megahit The Vow ), has the kind of comic timing that’s deceptively laid-back and sharp at the same time. His Jenko comes off as an easygoing galoot, which makes the idiot-savant observations he comes up with that much funnier. Schmidt, upon his return to high school, notes that all the things that made him uncool in his own high-school days (caring about the environment, being tolerant) have now become hip. Jenko agrees, and he doesn’t like it, looking for a place to lay the blame: “I know the cause. It’s Glee ,” he says definitively, like a Sherlock Holmes who’s spent too much time parked in front of the tube. Together Hill and Tatum are so much fun to watch that it’s disappointing when the story around them becomes overly cluttered and convoluted. To say 21 Jump Street loses the plot isn’t quite accurate: It’s a pretty loose-limbed affair from the get-go. But Lord and Miller insist on turning it into an action film, complete with elaborate car chases and shootouts that betray the spirit of silliness they laid out at the beginning. 21 Jump Street falters when it becomes too ambitious. Its finest moments — as when Schmidt and Jenko sternly forbid a bratty kid from feeding ducks in the park, which causes him to immediately (what else?) feed the ducks — are the ones that feel unplanned and tossed-off. In those moments, 21 Jump Street shows a kind of wayward, pigeon-toed brilliance. Maybe that particular brand of half-assed genius is too evanescent to survive a whole movie. Then again, half an ass is better than none. Follow Stephanie Zacharek on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .
