Bizarre news out of Wisconsin today, as two 12-year-old girls stabbed a classmate as a result of their obsession with a popular Internet meme. “Slender Man” is character created by Eric Knudsen that first appeared on the comedy website Something Awful in 2009. Slender Man Stabbing Report The character was meant to be a sort of Blair Witch-style prank on the Internet, and fans were asked to manipulate photographs, accompany them with made-up backstories and post them on websites as though they were real. Sadly, the unnamed pre-teens in Waukesha, Wisconsin didn’t understand that the Slender Man story was intended to be a sort of crowd-sourced work of fiction. When they were questioned by police after stabbing their friend 19 times, the girls reportedly stated that they hoped to commit a murder in hopes of becoming “proxies” or acolytes of Slender Man. The girls are now being held in a juvenile detention center and will reportedly be charged as adults. The attorney for one of the girls has stated that his client is mentally ill, and unable to distinguish fantasy from reality. Despite being left in the woods to die, the victim of the stabbing is expected to recover.
A 61-year-old Minnesota man is accused of pulling a gun on a neighbor who was teaching his seven-year-old daughter how to ride a bike … seriously. Gary Drake faces alleged second-degree assault and terroristic threat charges after he pointed a shotgun at his neighbor and threatened to kill him. The charges against Drake indicate that when observing the bike-riding lesson being administered, he began vocally critiquing the father’s tactics. Man Pulls Gun on Bike-Riding Neighbor, Daughter The father said, “I’ve got it.” That’s when Drake allegedly said, “If you don’t like my advice, get off my street.” The dad told Drake he “doesn’t own the street.” Drake appeared to get angrier and went inside his home, according to reports, but he wasn’t anywhere near done with this bike-riding nuisance. Reads the insane criminal complaint : “As the father and daughter were making their way away from Drake’s house, he came back outside with a shotgun and threatened to kill the father.” “Drake’s wife came outside, pulled the gun away and physically dragged Drake inside. Drake went outside again and told the father he was going to kill him.” When officers came and arrested Drake, he said, “Maybe next time I should have shot him.” He also said he had been drinking all day, but that didn’t influence him. Drake’s wife, for her part, told police he pointed a gun at the man and she tried to stop him. She gave up Drake’s shotgun to police, voluntarily. The father is still shaken by the encounter. Neighbors were surprised that Drake, a well-known neighbor, had threatened someone with a gun, FOX 9 reports. No word on what he specifically wanted the daughter to do differently regarding her bike, or whether she and the dad have adopted any of the pointers.

With Chris Brown released from jail this morning, one of the first things he plans to do is reunite with girlfriend Karrueche Tran, one of the few constants in his troubled life. Karrueche’s apparently got some big plans for the singer’s first night home, too. Karrueche Tran: Chris Brown Plaything! 1. Karrueche Tran, Chris Brown Selfie Karrueche Tran and Chris Brown team up on the most disgusting selfie of all time. “To let Karrueche tell it, she’s going to lock his a– up, bathe him for hours and just forget about the outside world,” according to an alleged source. “He just wants to have his freedom,” the insider added, stating the obvious, “To be honest, it kinda sounds strange that she’d want to bathe him for hours.” Compared to the bathroom conditions he’s been subjected to lately, though … “It’s probably going to be amazing for a person who’s been using prison/rehab showers for the better part of a year,” the Brown observer notes. “He doesn’t want to be around anyone, just his family and Kae and he wants to be at home doing nothing. He misses his couches, his bed, f–k, his shower!” Locked up since March, “you can tell by the look on his puppy dog face that he’s sad and tired. He looks and feels like f–k and we all want that to change.” As for whether things actually will change? His camp is optimistic. Chris has “finally learned his lesson,” the source finished. Chris Brown: Out of Jail! Here’s hoping that’s true for his sake, and society’s. The singer is still awaiting trial on assault charges in D.C., so he is far from out of the woods. Not only does he face more jail time for that criminal act if convicted, it could lead to an additional probation violation in the Rihanna assault case. He was sentenced to 131 days in jail just last month, but was cut loose early after serving two-plus months already and months in rehab before that. Despite him getting kicked out of rehab and jailed , of course. People close to Chris say he sounded like “he’d just given up on life” while in prison, and that “everybody that knows him can’t believe he’s still alive.” Chris has already Tweeted since being cut loose. He says: Humbled and Blessed Back to the Music and the Fans Thank you GOD GOD had no comment as of press time. 25 Pics of Chris Brown Thuggin’ It! 1.

Borderline successful R&B artist and legendary Kim Kardashian sex tape co-star Ray J insists he has a good explanation for his arrest over the weekend. Ray J was arrested after an altercation at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel and charged with breaking a police car window and spitting at an officer as well. Where to begin. Police were apparently dispatched to the swanky hotel bar after a girl complained Ray J was playing grab-ass with her and she wasn’t happy. Responding officers concluded any ass-touching on Ray’s part was accidental, so he was actually in the clear … until he was asked to leave anyway. He did not do so, as Ray J feels the allegation was made up by hotel management to get him out of the bar because he and his friends were too loud. After throwing a fit and declining to depart, the cops took him into custody. Ray J and Joan Rivers Sex Tape Parody Since the star has spent tens of thousands of dollars there in the past year alone (his Joan Rivers sex tape spoof was filmed there), he felt disrespected. Ray also denies that he spit on anyone, but admits kicking in the cop car window after he began to feel ” very claustrophobic” inside and needed fresh air. Granted, most of us don’t smash the window when we feel cramped or carsick and need some air, but hey. At least it wasn’t meant to be personal. The quasi-celebrity was booked for trespassing, vandalism, resisting arrest, and battery on a police officer. He did not appear concerned as he left jail. Probably because he hit it first. Or fifth, but who’s counting: 9 Guys Who Got it in with Kim Kardashian 1. T.J. Jackson T.J. Jackson, Michael’s nephew, was Kim’s first love. It’s believed that he was her “first” in the physical sense as well.
Selena Gomez continues to take her power back, or however she likes to phrase it when she poses for sexy photos begging for attention on Instagram. The singer hit up Katy Perry‘s London concert on May 31 with friends Cara Delevingne, Georgia May Jagger, Suki Waterhouse and DJ Mary Charteris. The latter shared a provocative picture of Selena in the bathtub, flaunting her toned stomach, touching her chest and pursing her lips … check, please! Okay, so it’s not AS risque as that description makes it sound. But still: Is this her form of subtle payback to Justin Bieber for the continuous string of sexy photos and videos he’s been posting online since their recent split? Probably. She says she doesn’t want Justin back , but we have doubts. Gomez has reportedly been devastated lately about her roller coaster relationship with Bieber, to the point where she’s had trouble eating and sleeping. Yes, Justin Bieber has that kind of effect on another woman, and not in the sense that she has trouble eating because his actions make her sick. In any case, it appears that the singer had a fun girls night out at least. Charteris appropriately captioned the photo of Gomez: “Looking totally babe-iliciuous in your marble bath @selenagomez. #greeblings #fuuuuuuun.” Babe-ilicious indeed. Hopefully there’s more where this came from. Unless she’s serious about becoming a born again virgin … which we sort of doubt. Why? Previously, Selena Gomez and Niall Horan were spotted in London, so there’s that. Virginal or not, maybe she’s moving on from the Bieb after all? Show Justin what he’s missing, girl … and never look back. Selena Gomez Instagram Photos 1. Selena Gomez Bikini Instagram Photo Selena Gomez rocks a bikini in this Instagram photo. She says in the caption that she is “taking” her “power” back.
Talk about giving new meaning to the word “crunch!” In the following video, an overweight individual digs into a slice of pizza while working out his abs, either proving that he’s seriously rushed for time or really doesn’t understand the concept of exercise. There’s little else to really say about the video, except that Jillian Michaels likely just fainted, stood up… and fainted again. Man Eats Pizza WHILE Working Out Dude, even Jessica Simpson knows how to lose weight. And she doesn’t know the difference between chicken and tuna. We’d tell you to shape up… but you’d likely inhale an entire pie while doing so.

Tovar Rascon, a 33-year old “banda” musician, was shot and killed at a restaurant in Mexico City last night. The Phoenix native was dining inside Ciudad Obregon, according to The Associated Press, when two gunmen entered and show him at close range. He died on the way to the hospital. It’s tragically not unusual for singers in Mexico to be murdered, but these victims typically perform “narcocorridos” that celebrate the exploits of drug traffickers; or have ties to local gangs. In 2013, for example, South Texas crooner Jesus “Chuy” Quintanilla shot in the head near Mission, Texas. His ballads often referenced the Mexican drug cartel. Torbellino, however, was best known for love songs. He had been scheduled to perform tonight at the Obregon Expo. Celebrities We Lost in 2014 1. Philip Seymour Hoffman R.I.P. Philip Seymour Hoffman (1967-2014). He will forever be missed!
