Even when Justin Bieber tries to come across as nice and helpful, he can't help but sound cocky and condescending. The singer, whose new album comes out on November 13, has been revving up the public relations game of late. But he's hit a few hiccups along the way. There was the interview he walked out on , for example, although the hosts in charge of it were clearly acting like immature idiots. There was also the Norway concert he cut VERY short because some fans in the front row spilled some water and didn't let him clean it up to his liking. He then took to Instagram and shared yet another apology in which he vowed to be a better person. And Bieber isn't being a bad person in the following video, far from it. But he is giving an acoustic concert in Spain, sitting down with his guitar and with a friend and playing a melodic version of his smash hit single, “What Do You Mean?” About halfway through, however, Bieber grows a little irritated with the crowd. Yes, those in attendance are clapping along. But they are not clapping along with the beat and Justin feels a need to stop and explain this to them. Granted, the mistimed clapping may be throwing off his performance. We can see that. We could understand that. But considering the fragile state of his reputation these days, Bieber would probably be better served just keeping quiet. Watch the video below and let us know if we're being hyper sensitive and/or over-analytical here. Or if you agree that Justin Bieber is still in need of an attitude adjustment.
Nicki Minaj may not have had the year's best celebrity Halloween costume (that title goes to LeBron James as Prince ), but she's attracting plenty of attention for her fairy godmother get-up. Sadly, it's for all the wrong reasons. In a video clip that's going viral today, a visibly intoxicated Nicki points her “magic wand” at a woman in a wheelchair and roars, “I command you to walk.” Needless to say, a lot of folks didn't find the remark as funny as Nicki and her friends seemed to. Nicki has been running damage control today by tweeting at Perez Hilton (one of the first to post the footage) that the woman sitting in the wheelchair was actually a makeup artist friend of hers. “That's NOT a disabled person and u know that. Are u that desperate for attention?” Nicki tweeted. “Bitch, u knew. That's my friend in a scooter.” Some fans have countered that even if Nicki is telling the truth (a big “if,” as based on the video, it doesn't seem the woman was in on the joke), the clip is still offensive to people with physical disabilities. Before she even “casts her spell,” Nicki can be heard to remark, “Now, if only I could find Handi Man,” a reference to the disabled superhero character played by Damon Wayans on the '90s sketch show In Living Color. So regardless of whether the woman was someone that Nicki knew, Ms. Minaj was clearly having a laugh at the plight of people with disabilities, and she should probably be apologizing instead of justifying. Also, Nicki, instead of being the 4 millionth celeb to indulge Perez Hilton's trolling, maybe just take Taylor Swift's advice from last night and let it go.
Prior to the overdose that nearly cost him his life earlier this month, Lamar Odom had struggled with substance for years. Now that he’s on the mend, Khloe Kardashian has agreed to give their marriage a second chance on the condition that Odom never use drugs again . Now, it looks like Lamar might already be doing his best to break that promise. There’s been good news and bad news regarding Odom’s condition today, as it was confirmed this morning that Odom is off of dialysis , out of the ICU, and able to communicate with hospital staff. The bad news is that according to Radar Online, Odom’s improved communication abilities have led to some troubling requests from doctors: “Lamar was moved out of ICU earlier this week because of the progress that has been made. He is no longer on dialysis,” says one insider. “But there are concerns because Lamar has been asking for copious amounts of pain medication, including Oxycontin. “It’s a dilemma for the doctors because the pain has to be treated. But with Lamar’s history of substance abuse, they are trying to give him other pain medications that aren’t as powerful. However, Lamar complains that it’s not strong enough.” Opiates were among the drugs found in Lamar’s system after his overdose, so it’s not surprising that doctors are hesitant to prescribe Odom anything that could land him back at square one in terms of his addiction. Adding to the medical staff’s concerns are the reports that Odom was visited by his drug dealer earlier this week. View Slideshow: Lamar Odom: A Timeline of Tragedy
Black Diner Asked Prepay For His Meal At Oregon Restaurant A black man, Brian Eason, has filed a $100,000 lawsuit against an Oregon restaurant for discriminatory practices according to OregonLive . Eason claims he was asked by his waitress to prepay for his breakfast at Elmer’s each time he placed an order while white diners were not. “I was kind of curious about it and said ‘Well, is that new?’ And she said ‘Yes, we had a few walk-aways and my boss asked me to ask for prepayment,” Eason told The Oregonian/OregonLive on Wednesday. Eason didn’t think anything of it, he said, until he later ordered another drink and the waitress again wanted prepayment. “I said ‘This is kind of odd that I have to prepay every time I order my food and drink,’” Eason recounted. “She said, ‘I think it’s discrimination and my boss is here, and she’s forcing me to have me do this.’” Eason finished his meal and left the restaurant, but returned shortly after to ask white folks if they had been asked to do the same. Of course, they were not. Eason said that after he spoke to the white customers about whether they had to prepay, he still wasn’t sure if he was going to do anything about it. But he couldn’t sleep that night and his family encouraged him to take action, he said. “My office is right down the street there,” Eason said. “It’s a constant reminder of ‘They don’t want me in there.’” The suit seeks $100,000 in damages because Eason has “suffered loss of sleep and feelings of racial stigmatization.” Get your money, brotha! F*** Elmer’s! Image via Instagram
Dear Bossip , I met a man at my job about a year ago. We will call him “Devon.” Devon was very persistent to get to know me. He would treat me to lunch every day and we would have conversations about everything. As time passed, we began to form a connection with one another. We had so much in common and we were definitely attracted to one another. I’m ashamed to say it, but, we were both in relationships. I can say that I wasn’t happy with my situation at home. I was more so comfortable than happy. I had someone I could depend on, but the love and sex were gone. I always asked Devon was he happy with his girlfriend and what was their relationship status, but he never would answer. I respected him for not telling me their business, but after a while it was like she didn’t exist. I ended my current situation at home and my ex had moved out. Devon would come over nearly every day. I believe with us spending so much time together, we both developed some sort of feelings. About 5 months had passed but we still hadn’t had sex. I’m an attractive woman and I don’t have any issues as far as dating, but I can honestly say I’ve never connected to ANY man like I have with him. It was really hard for me to walk away from that. Not to mention he had the qualities of a man that I always wanted. (Aside from cheating). We began to have a sexual relationship. The sex was amazing as well. Soon after that, we started telling each other we love each other. I never wanted nor expected him to end his relationship at home. Mainly because in the back of my mind I knew that wasn’t playing fair and I do believe in Karma. So, I guess I settled for becoming his “hook up chick.” After a while, I started to want more and I also wanted to know about his “girlfriend” just to see what she was like. So, I found her on social media. I saw pics of them hugged up. I realized the day the pics were taken he had asked to come spend time with me earlier that day. I was upset because he was really playing the role of the loving boyfriend. I tried blocking this woman out, but it was obvious he was “happy” with her. So, I decided it was finally time to leave him alone knowing I didn’t deserve that. I told him how I felt because I wanted him to know he hurt me and played with my emotions. He then claimed he just wanted to talk and showed up at my house. We didn’t have sex, instead he just held and kissed me. Like that was his way of saying he didn’t want me out of his life. I know he could have other women, but he still doesn’t want me to leave him alone. I’ve been avoiding seeing him. However, he has been making many attempts, along with calling and texting. I must admit, we had some great times and we connected. That’s what makes it hard to walk away. I love him but this situation has got me feeling so ashamed. Do I just change my number and move on? How do I heal from this? – Ms Ashamed Dear Ms. Ashamed , You’re messy! Point blank. You knowingly got involved with a co-worker who is already in a relationship. Mistake number one. You were also in a relationship, but you claim you were not happy, but comfortable. Regardless, you were already in a relationship and pursed another man. Mistake number two. You got involved with a co-worker. Mistake number three. You revealed intimate details about your relationship with “Devon,” yet, he never shared any details about his relationship with his girlfriend. Mistake number four. You were unhappy in your relationship and not once did you confide in your ex about your unhappiness. You didn’t address the issue at home, but went outside your relationship to seek solace. Mistake number five. Now, you are writing me a letter asking me to give you advice on helping you heal from this mess you made because you started sleeping with a man who had a girlfriend, and you knowingly and willingly became a side chick, so you want someone else to clean it up. Mistake number six. I want you to notice that you pursued a relationship with Devon because you were unhappy with your ex. You wanted Devon to save you from your mess. You wanted him to be your clean up man. (Yes, that is a pun, and yes, you want someone else to clean up behind the mess you keep creating.) Devon was never upfront with you about his relationship status with his girlfriend, and he was smart not too. He was playing you all along. He wanted one thing from you and he eventually got it. So, with his plan to make you his side chick, which you agreed to become, he listened to you whine and bish about your relationship, and he let you believe whatever you wanted to believe about him and his relationship. You both were in the wrong, and you both are trifling. The games you two are playing is how people get hurt physically, mentally, and emotionally. This is how diseases spread because people like you and Devon cheat on their spouses, and you don’t care about your own well-being or the people you are in relationships with. You are reckless. Immature. And, silly. Therefore, what I can tell you is that, first, you should have never gotten involved with someone you work with. Never sleep with a co-worker. Never confide in your co-worker about the intimate details of your relationship. They are your co-worker, not your friend, not your partner, and not your therapist. Second, you created this mess and decided to become his side chick. So, you knew your role and your lane. You allowed this to happen, even though you always wanted more from him. If you don’t want to be a side chick, then stop being a side chick. Third, he is not going to leave his girlfriend for you. He is not going to make you his woman. He wasn’t, isn’t, and doesn’t love you. You are fooling yourself to think he has any romantic feelings for you beyond sleeping with you on the side. He likes you, and he likes having sex with you that is why he keeps texting and calling you. He doesn’t want to give up his side chick. He is having his cake and eating it, too. Other than that, love is in your imaginary. Last, grow up! Think. Stop these childish games. Quit pursuing men who are already in relationships. He is not in love with you. You’re in love with someone who is unavailable. Why don’t you learn how to love yourself? Learn to work on you first, and stop looking for others to clean up the mess you make. Own your –ish. Take responsibility for your actions. – Terrance Dean ***(Attention all media/news outlets, if you use this story and letter, or any parts of this content for your outlets you must give credit to this site, the columnist, and his advice)*** Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

“The Flash” welcomes Firestorm back to the mix with the introduction of Jefferson “Jax” Jackson. Here’s everything that went down in “The Fury of the Firestorm.”
This is silly. I am not interested in Demi Lovato. I am a firm believer that she would have died back when she had a little drug addiction and pretended to be bipolar…before figuring she could use that to justify her love of her chubby body, but more important, to exploit gay people, and sexuality, by calling a group of gay men “Confident Bitches”….because she’s committed to the Fag Hagging…in the most generic way.. She is from Disney. Never trust one of those Nazis.. So along with her trying to get the gay market, singing her shitty fucking song, she had two half naked male dancers, one with a giant boner…hilarious troll…that may or may not have been her doing…he looks like Wilmer Valderamma…so you never know…#mexicans be crazy, or they’ll pretend to be crazy as the foundation of their whole marketing campaign..and brand…because it allows flexibility in their look, their weight, and their overall attitude of love your body and love whoever you want to love…like she is rumored to have loved Miley in a sex tape from Nashville… Those Disney girls are fucking crazy…Never trust one of those Nazis.. The post Gay Penis VS Demi Lovato of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .
A week ago, The Real Housewives of Orange County stars came together and made generally nice on the first half of their Season 10 reunion. On last night’s The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 Episode 21 , or part two of the reunion special, did the fit finally hit the shan? Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 Episode 21 Online There are certainly plenty of fireworks to look forward to when you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online . We’ll just say that. Among the topics on deck here in the second inning: Is Jim Edmonds really as big of a d–k as he seems on TV? Has Shannon Beador ever run into David’s mistress? Does Vicki Gunvalson know what a “circle jerk” is? Did Brooks try to show Briana his d–k?! We’re sensing a certain theme with these people. Rookie of the Year Meghan King Edmonds’ marriage has been a hot topic this idea, but she revealed that she and former MLB star Jim have a prenup. That, she says, was entirely her idea. Meghan didn’t want Jim, or his children, to ever feel this was about money, or that she was somehow out to take something that was theirs. Pretty big of young Megan, honestly. Not so big? Jim snapping at her in condescending fashion more than once this season. “I wasn’t really ready for TV to catch everything,” Jim said. Meghan defended her husband, and their relationship, which was strained by Jim’s post-baseball broadcasting career and its major travel obligations. She said she doesn’t let him get away with treating her like this, and though some of what we saw were low points, on the whole it’s “not our marriage.” We’ll buy that … we think. Vicki Gunvalson-Meghan King Edmonds Fight on The Real Housewives of Orange County Shannon Beador, meanwhile? Her own marital troubles – her husband’s affair, their estrangement, attempts at counseling and reconciliation – have played out regularly on camera. She said she never would have thought she would be the kind of person to stay in a relationship after the other person cheated, but here she is. For good reason. They’re in a good place, she insists, and Shannon says she will do anything to keep her family together. Not that it’s been easy. The “other woman” is still in their social circles, apparently. “‘David, look at her and compare, look what you got here,'” she said she told him once. Finally, after so long defending her relationship with Brooks Ayers, Vicki Gunvalson seemed resigned to letting people think whatever they want. With Brooks threatening to sue Vicki , she wasn’t about to sell him out – if she even wanted to – but her tone was more somber than we’re used to. As for why they broke up? Vicki did not say she thought Ayers was faking cancer or not faking cancer, but admitted daughter Briana Culberson’s disapproval was a big factor. Brooks Ayers vs. Briana Wolfsmith-Culberson Culberson then joined the reunion party to recall the story of how Brooks hit on Briana at Gunvalson’s birthday party, back when Culberson was pregnant. Ayers, allegedly, offered to show Culberson his penis, saying he was nicknamed “Girth Brooks.” (This first came up on the reunion two years ago.) Brooks, for his part, appeared in a separate interview with host Andy Cohen and accused Briana of manipulating – and mooching from – her mom. “This guy is a filthy piece of s–t,” Culberson responded after watching that footage, and we have a feeling next week’s part three will be AAB, ATT. All About Brooks, All The Time.
