Ariana Grande New Album Cover of the Day

Ariana Grande may be a bit of a brown Christina Aguilera cunt, trained by Disney pretty fucking hard and capable of really navigating this entertainment industry…. The fascinating thing about her is that a pornstar told me she was a fucking whore, like a really full fledged dirty sex fuck everyone whore,…because the pornstar shared a dude with her…and had scoop…and when a pornstar calls you a dirtbag…you know you’re dirty….and I guess you’d also have answers to why she exists, whether she can sing or not, a lot of people can sing and don’t end up where she is…and that’s annoying us in all she does, especially her song.. The other fascinating thing about her is that she called America as whole fat pigs as she raped a donut like it was her and she was a Disney Exec.. She shat on an entire fucking nation of patriotic people…and all she had to do was apologize and everyone – forgave her… They didn’t slaughter her, destroy her career, probably because they also think America as a whore are a bunch of fat fucking pigs… These are apparently promo pics for some bullshit new album… The post Ariana Grande New Album Cover of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .

Rick Ross Shooting: Who Tried to Off the Rapper?

Details of this morning’s Rick Ross shooting are still sketchy at this time, and it’s not like the rapper hasn’t been in this situation before. So who tried to kill him? Police in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., are gathering surveillance footage from the scene where Ross crashed his car after being targeted in a drive-by shooting . While driving with his girlfriend Shateria L. Moragne-el, Ross smashed his Rolls-Royce into an apartment building in attempt to flee from bullets fired at him. Security cameras at a building across the street were rolling this morning, and police are hoping they may get a glimpse at the shooter and/or the vehicle. As of now, no suspects have been identified and no arrests made. So who tried to take out Rick Ross? It could be anyone … especially given the hip-hop figure’s propensity for trouble. In the past five years alone: YouTube entertainer DJ Vlad sued Ross for assault and battery; Vlad claimed Ross organized an ambush of him at the 2008 Ozone Awards. Ross started an ongoing feud with rapper 50 Cent because he supposedly “looked at him the wrong way” at the BET Awards. One-time drug kingpin “Freeway” Ricky Ross sued Rick Ross for using his name, filing a copyright infringement lawsuit in Federal Court. A body of a known armed robbery convict and auto thief, identified as Gregory Paul Nesbitt, was found outside of Ross’ house in 2012. Shots were fired during his fight with Young Jeezy at the 2012 BET Hip Hop Awards, an incident that was partially caught on video. Most recently, and perhaps most relevantly, Ross received a death threat from Gangster Disciples , a Chicago gang, earlier this winter. Who do you think was behind the Rick Ross shooting?

Britney Spears on Mexico Trip: Best Birthday EVER!

In the wake of reports about Jason Trawick’s alleged abuse of Britney Spears , the star and her camp are doing all they can to paint a picture of happiness. Right after the scandal broke, Trawick whisked her off to a private, $5,000 a night villa in Conchas Chinas, Mexico, to mark her 29th birthday last week. The duo denies and shrugs off the abuse rumor, with her telling Us , “My birthday weekend away with Jason was amazing. Best birthday of my life!” Are Britney Spears and Jason Trawick really happy? Are we getting the whole truth about what happened between the lovebirds? [Photo: Pacific Coast News] There have been several theories, ranging from the star’s camp planting the rumor to generate buzz for her new album to Team Spears laboring to cover it up. Some think the Mexican getaway was merely a publicity stunt designed to make the troubled couple appear happy. In truth, some say the superstar is trapped. “Britney is a cash cow,” an insider says . “Her parents and management are trying to keep the scandal under wraps so it doesn’t affect her career – or the paychecks.” What we don’t understand is why, even if Britney Spears supposedly called Jason Alexander to vent about the abuse by Trawick, he would record the call. Was he looking to sell her out for money? And did he edit it himself? Why did experts conclude the tape was doctored ? Did Star know it was doctored? If abuse did take place, we can understand why Brit would not want it to go public, but why stay with Jason and go through this charade afterward? The whole thing is very suspicious. Tell us what you think.

Rielle Hunter Wants to Marry John Edwards Now

As friends and family mourning the death of Elizabeth Edwards, one celebrity news site waited a whole 12 hours before working the Rielle Huner angle. The infamous mistress of John Edwards hopes she and the former Democratic presidential candidate can get married now, according to Radar Online . A source close to Rielle Hunter says she “has been very patient” and “believes that John is her soul mate, and thinks they are going to get married.” Rielle Hunter in her bizarre GQ photo spread earlier this year . To those who applauded her courage in dealing with John, who cheated on her and knocked up Rielle while Elizabeth battled cancer, this won’t go over well. At the time of Elizabeth Edwards’ death , she was estranged from John. Radar ‘s source revealed that Hunter has been closely watching Elizabeth’s situation. “She doesn’t care about anyone but herself. She’s been selfish and horrible this whole time, no matter what else has been said about her,” the source said. THG NOTE : That’s pretty much all we’ve said about her . Hunter currently lives in a home paid for by John Edwards. She lives there with their young daughter Quinn, the child John adamantly denied was his . The National Enquirer busted him visiting Rielle and Quinn in a Beverly Hills hotel in 2008, after he lost the Democratic nomination to Barack Obama. As for how Rielle will respond publicly to the news that Elizabeth has passed away, the source said they doubted what she said would be heartfelt. She never expressed regret for her role in the scandal, even denying she was a home wrecker and basically blaming Elizabeth for John straying. Basically, don’t expect a lot of sympathy now. “She will say some nice things about Elizabeth, but only if it makes her look good,” the source said. How Rielle Hunter could possibly look good, we don’t know.

Oxford Atlas of the World, 17th Edition (Book Review)

Photo taken by Michael Graham Richard, used with permission of Oxford University Press What a Fascinating Planet! Maybe it’s my geeky side, but I’ve always liked encyclopedias and atlases. When I was younger, I spent hours looking for one thing but reading about 15 others things on the way there (kind of what Wikipedia makes people do now, with all those tempting links sprinkled in each entry), so I was happy to be offered a review copy of the 17th edition of the Oxford Atlas of the World. But this large and high-quality book isn’t just a dry compilation of maps, it… Read the full story on TreeHugger
