American Idol Power Poll: The Super 6

Six contestants remain on American Idol Season 12. And Lazaro Arbos is somehow still one of them. With just a few weeks remaining in the competition – and ratings dwindling by the week – we present our latest Power Poll, counting down from number-six to number-one. Can you guess who is holding down last place? 6: Lazaro Arbos : We’re kind of over his nice guy shtick. As the last man standing, he just can’t hold a candle to the girls. In fact, we’re not entirely sure how he’s still here at all. 5. Amber Holcomb : Amber has an amazing voice and legs for days, but she’s not showing much in the way of personality. Just who is Amber? 4. Janelle Arthur : She’s a sweetheart with a throwback twang which definitely makes her appealing, but she’s suffering from the bad song choice plague. In the end, that’s going to cost her like it almost did last week. 3. Angie Miller : The sole wannabe rocker in the competition, she seems a little confused sometimes. She seemed at home on “Bring Me To Life” and has proven time and again, with the exception of “Shop Around,” that she’s definitely got some vocal chops to be reckoned with. 1 & 2. Candice Glover and Kree Harrison : There’s no denying that these two are the stars of American Idol season 12. While they’re goals are different musical genres, these girls can sing anything the producers throw at them. Time and again they’re professional, polished, and awesome.

Facebook Mom Blocked Over Breastfeeding Pics; Company Apologizes Amid Backlash

Facebook has blocked a mom over breastfeeding photos uploaded to a page she runs for new mothers, setting off a firestorm of debate and controversy. Kristy Kemp runs the support site Breastfeeding Mama Talk, which has drawn more than 4,300 fans, one of whom uploaded nursing images (below). Facebook reportedly responded by blocking Kemp, locking her out of the page she created and removing the image, which it said “violated” company policy. But a closer reading of the Facebook community standards makes this action seem dubious, and sparked backlash. Facebook rules for photos read: “Facebook has a strict policy against the sharing of pornographic content and any explicitly sexual content where a minor is involved. We also impose limitations on the display of nudity.” “We aspire to respect people’s right to share content of personal importance, whether those are photos of a sculpture like Michelangelo’s David or family photos of a child breastfeeding.” Yes, breastfeeding is specifically mentioned in the policy. As such, Kristy Kemp pressed the issue. After her 24-hour lockout ended, she immediately uploaded a photo of another mom breastfeeding her baby. It was also taken down in short order. Kemp told Fox40 : “It’s not right. I’m trying to do good for mothers and I’m getting kicked off for posting pictures of the most beautiful act a mother can do her for kid. It’s not right.” The issue of breastfeeding photos has come up before. Last year Facebook blocked mom Emma Kwasnica for uploading photos of herself breastfeeding. After the incident blew up, Facebook sent a clarification, nebulously citing a difference between some photos and those displaying a fully exposed breast. In Kemp’s case, media attention around the issue worked to her benefit after she was blocked. Facebook reinstated her account with an apology. No word if Facebook Home or the Facebook phone will carry a similarly confusing breastfeeding policy … but you can count on plenty of arbitrariness.

Ya Big Dummies! 60 Plus Harlem Gangsters Arrested Over Incriminating Tweets, Facebook Posts, And YouTube Videos!

Damn they’re dumb…smmfh More Than 60 Harlem Gangsters Arrested Over Twitter, Facebook, And YouTube Posts Via NYPost These alleged gang bangers love the social media — and so do the cops and prosecutors who busted them. East Harlem has been cleared of 63 dangerous gangsters who openly incriminated themselves in slang-filled, misspelled postings on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, officials said today in announcing the takedown of three rival drug and gun rings. Some of the thugs even posted photos of themselves holding guns, officials said. “God forgives I don’t … somebody gotta die,” one alleged member of the gang “Air It Out,” posted on Facebook, according to the massive conspiracy indictments unsealed today. “I’m 2 Glocks strapped, rolling down 112th Madison, 116 this is the New Iraq,” boasted another alleged AIO member. “I’ll give u $300 if u clap a Trill or Whoadey before October,” another alleged Air It Out gangster promised, using the slang for shoot. The alleged members of “Air It Out,” “True Money Gang–” or “Trillas” and “Whoadey” — 18 of whom remain at large — have collectively notched three murders and some 30 shootings, officials said. The evidence against them — amassed by the Manhattan DA’s Violent Criminal Enterprise Unit, the NYPD’s Gang Division, and cops from the 23rd and 25th precincts and PSA5 — included dangerous surveillance and gun seizures conducted over the course of three years. According to the report, investigators even created a dictionary of slang terms that gang members used to communicate about criminal activities. A “2&5 train” is a .25 caliber gun, according to a two page glossary provided to reporters today. “Air it,” “dump on,” “pop a bottle” and “play the flute” all mean fire a gun, the list says. A gun itself can be a “biscuit, a “bitch,” a “blamer,” a “clickety,” a “drum set,” a “flocka,” a “girlfriend,” a “grip,” an “instrument,” a “ratchet,” “little piece of metal,” a “shorty,” a “speaker,” a “toy,” a “utensil,” and, more oddly, a “flamingo” or a “sandwich.” Cops are “boys,” money is “bread,” a pal is a “cro,” and bullets are “food,” “gas,” “sea shellz,” or “electricity.” Murder? That’s to “rock to sleep early,” the glossary says. “There is a lot of social networking and investigation using the Internet that all of us use now in law enforcement,” Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance said. “The Internet is our 21st Century crime scene.” These ninjas are BEYOND stupid, but we guess you can’t expect much common sense from criminals.

Delusional Barbie: Nicki Minaj Fights Back At ‘American Idol’ Haters And Says She’s A ‘Spectacular’ Judge

Nicki Minaj says she’s NEVER had a bad American Idol moment… Nicki Minaj Says She Was A Good American Idol Via RadarOnline reports: As far as Nicki Minaj is concerned she’s “spectacular” as a judge on American Idol! In a press conference call, Miss Jia was asked what her worst Idol moment had been so far. And the 30-year-old Starships singer was less than modest with her response. “My best and worst Idol moments? I don’t have a worst Idol moment. I’ve been spectacular,” Nicki boasted. She continued: “Yes, I am going to toot my own horn. And then my best moment is every single moment. I’ll toot it again!” Minaj also revealed that she was a little fearful sitting on the judging panel of the Fox reality TV hit. Her main concern was that she was coming off as a mean judge when everyone else was being too nice to the contestants. “I didn’t know what to expect going in to the show. I was so nervous,” she said. “I had a lot of anxiety. I felt like, ‘Okay, I know everybody’s just going to hate me. There were moments in the audition process that I would say to the producers, ‘I can’t do this anymore. If everyone is going to give a good critique and I’m going to be the only one being honest, then America is going to hate me. I’m going to be seen as mean.’ And the producers said, ‘Nicki, trust us, America is going to appreciate the honesty.’ And that’s all I had to go on.” As RadarOnline.com previously reported, as the TV ratings for America Idol continue to plummet, the hatred towards Nicki is intensifying. Wednesday night’s episode of the one-time popular reality TV favorite pulled in just 11 million viewers –the lowest figures for an Idol show EVER. And judging by the Facebook page, ‘Ok: Remove Nicki Minaj From American Idol’ it’s clear to see who is turning viewers off. “I can’t watch my favorite show anymore…her arrogance, ignorance, stupid comments that have NOTHING to do with constructive criticism, and the lack of respect the brat displays every week. What a bad choice to replace Jennifer (Lopez),” Robert Deans wrote. “Nicki’s voice box needs to be removed,” said Nick Sharp. While Steven Pappas took his criticism further, admitting: “Sorry, but I just really, REALLY wanna punch her square in the face! I think that would probably make me feel best!” Umm, ok Nicki.

Victoria Rays’ Unknown Side Boob

I’ve never heard of this Victoria Rays chick before, and I’m not sure anyone else has either, since my plumber has more Twitter followers than she does. But I consider myself something of a hottie talent scout, and Victoria is showing off some A-plus side boob here. Judging from that and the pics I grabbed off her Facebook page because I’m not a stalker, I’m just doing a little thing called “research,” I think Victoria could blow up big with a little help. I also think I might have a chance with her before she becomes famous though. So go ahead and enjoy these pictures, just don’t tell your friends about them until after I make my move on Twitter. » view all 13 photos Photos: WENN.com

Race Matters: 13 Dark-Skinned NY Parks Department Employees Paid $165,000 Settlements For Being Transferred From Their Positions For Light-Skinned And White Folks!

Dark-skinned, light-skinned, Asian, and White women… Parks Department Workers Paid $165,000 Settlement For Racist Transfer Practices Via NYDailyNews The city will pay thousands of dollars to dark-skinned Parks Department workers who claim they were transferred out of tony Battery Park City in favor of white and light-skinned staffers amid threats and veiled complaints that they were too aggressive. The workers filed a discrimination suit after the March 2011 transfers — which came after months of escalating tensions between the mostly minority agents and some residents of the ritzy enclave. Racist signs and graffiti calling the Public Enforcement Patrol officers “thugs,” “pigs” and “n—–s” started popping up on benches and walls, according to the suit filed by 13 workers. The Parks Department wrongfully transferred eight dark-skinned workers out and brought in eight white, Asian or light-skinned Hispanics after the Battery Park City Authority — a private trust that pays the city $2 million for 31 PEP workers on its 32 acres — complained that some officers were too aggressive in ticketing residents, the suit charged. Residents of the waterfront neighborhood were pleased when PEP workers ticketed visitors — but annoyed when they got tickets for the same petty violations, said Charles St. Louis, a retired NYPD officer and PEP agent who is a plaintiff in the suit. What part of the game is THAT?! The city admitted no wrongdoing in the February agreement of $165,000 — $8,000 to each of the dark-skinned workers, plus the same payment to the replacement workers, who charged they were unwittingly put in the middle of a hostile situation. One black worker, George Parker, 62, will get a payment of $14,000 because a white resident went after him in a fury after another park worker questioned why his dog was off-leash. “I’ve been around a bit in my time, even Birmingham, Ala., and I’ve not seen much that was as bad as Battery Park City,” said Parker. “I got a lot of ‘I pay your salary’ and ‘You work for me’ when I tried to enforce the rules.” PEP worker Keshun Anderson, 40, said she was once called a “f—ing n—–” by the white resident who fought with Parker. And people still have the nerve to call this a “post-racial America” Sheeeeeeeeeeeit…SMMFH Image via Facebook
