Lil Wayne has a knack for making it rain. This is unquestioned. No matter the timing, no matter the circumstances, the rapper wants to throw dat cash! Hey, when you gots insane amounts of bank, flaunt it. With that in mind, The Chive created this amazing photo gallery of Weezy making it rain in all sorts of interesting situations … ones you might not typically associate as the most natural fits for his notorious strip club behavior.

Someone’s gotta lighten the mood: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton looks understandably shocked, but the rainmaker does what he’s gotta do. Follow the link above for a dozen more of these gems.
The Bachelor stars Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson are determined to make this thing work in spite of all the negativity – and they appear to be succeeding. At least in the immediate aftermath of The Bachelor bloodbath. Once host-pimp Chris Harrison coughed up and Ben re-issued the $80,000 Neil Lane ring to Courtney on the After The Final Rose special, they turned a corner. Courtney says that despite the bumps in the road over the last few months, things are progressing nicely and she’s nothing but optimistic for the future. “We try not to pay attention to it,” Courtney said this week of the tabloid scrutiny. “I guess positive stories don’t sell, so no one wants to run the truth.” However, it hasn’t been all nude photo scandals , cheating rumors and hating. The general public, Court says, has been quite supportive in recent weeks: “I just spent the weekend with Ben in San Francisco and people kept coming up, offering words of encouragement. So, things seem to be getting better.” Courtney Robertson reiterated that she believes Ben did not cheat, saying “at the end of the day, if I didn’t trust him, I wouldn’t be with him, period.” “He trusted and believed in the real me. This has been the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through, but I’d do it again in a heartbeat. I found Ben; he made everything worth it.” On the topic of moving in together, she says, “I’m hopeful it will happen by summer. We’re not in a rush, but neither of us wants to be in a long distance relationship.” “For now, we have a lot of fun, little trips planned. But I do love San Francisco and can definitely see myself having a happy life there with Ben.” As for Ben’s sister Julia, who Tweeted the pic above of their recent double date, she says they “talk all the time and she’s really helped me get through this.” What do you think? Starting to come around? Just a little? Will Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson last?

“If you’re traveling at 80 mph, how long will you take you to go 80 miles?” If you were ever wondering where blonde jokes originated, this video of an adorable but logically challenged gal named Chelsea should explain it fairly easily. We didn’t think that the concept of miles per hour was quite so complicated, but Chels apparently has the complexities all figured out … at least in her own mind: Blonde Explains MPH You know, upon further review, she’s probably over-thinking it. It will take them at least five hours to travel 80 miles after she makes her jackass of a husband pull over so she can beat him senseless for humiliating her on YouTube.
