In a matter of days, A.J. Clemente has gone from reporting the news to being the news. The North Dakota anchor was fired after one broadcast due to an incident in which he uttered back-to-back curse words in his first moments on air. He was subsequently the subject of a David Letterman Top 10 list and he appeared this morning on Today . A.J. Clemente Curses on Air Clemente told Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie that watching the snafu was “gut-wrenching” and he makes no excuses for what happened. “It’s inexcusable, first, to even say those words,” he said. “Fireball shot came right out of my mouth.” A.J. also understands why he is now out of a job. “I fully expected that they would fire me,” he said. “I even called my news director after and apologized again. They did [what they had to do]. No animosity at all.” Clemente will be a guest on The Late Show this evening, and from there? He says he doesn’t have any exact professional plans. “I’m looking forward, moving forward,” he told the hosts. “You got to have a tough skin in this business, and it’s good to laugh at yourself.” Sounds like advice Lauer could benefit from as well.
A hacker group issued an ultimatum to the U.S. government today, demanding America declare war on North Korea or the White House would explode. The hacker group that took responsibility for exposing the private financial information of Michelle Obama and many other celebrities is behind this, too. The hackers have also swatted Diddy, Ryan Seacrest, Justin Timberlake, Paris Hilton, Chris Brown, Tom Cruise, Rihanna and others in recent weeks. Contacted authorities through 911, the group threatened to detonate eight bombs around the White House perimeter if President Obama did not comply. He had 24 hours to declare war, they claimed. This was related to the bogus Associated Press’ twitter account saying there were two explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured. He is not. There were no bombs on the premises, though the AP tweet did send the stock market plummeting for a couple of minutes amid the chaos. The White House quickly discredited this as an “errant tweet,” however the hackers are claiming credit for hacking AP’s twitter and posting the message. It appears that this is yet another case of swatting – calling in a phony threat and getting a SWAT team involved – and perhaps the biggest of its kind.
A.J. Clemente has been fired by from his news anchoring job at KFYR in Bismarck, North Dakota. After one broadcast. For uttering back-to-back curses as the first words anyone heard him say on air. The snafu took place last night and was followed by an anxious, especially awkward introduction by Clementine, who at least took his ousting in stride. A.J. Clemente Curses on Air “Rookie mistake. I’m a free agent,” Clementine Tweeted today. “Can’t help but laugh at myself and stay positive. Wish i didnt trip over my ‘Freaking Shoes’ out of the gate.” We wish A.J. the best of luck going forward. And thank him for making our day with this clip.
Slick Willy says the gays have Chelsea to thank for his endorsement of marriage equality . Via Page Six reports : Bill Clinton was honored at the GLAAD Media Awards for his gay rights advocacy as well as his endorsement for same-sex marriage on Saturday. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, the former President credits his daughter for changing his mind. The former President said during his acceptance speech that his daughter “has had a profound impact on the way I see the world. It’s sort of humbling when you get to be my age when your child knows more than you do about everything.” “Chelsea and her gay friends have modeled to me how we should all treat each other regardless of our sexual orientation or any other artificial difference that divides us,” said the honoree. “Many of them come and join us every Thanksgiving for a meal. I have grown very attached to them.” “And over the years, I was forced to confront the fact that people who oppose equal rights for gays in the marriage sphere are basically acting out of concern for their own identity, not out of respect for anyone else.” Clinton’s view on marriage equality changed substantially over the years. During his presidency, he signed the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which denies federal benefits to same-sex couples. “I want to keep working on this until not only is DOMA no longer the law of the land, but until all people — no matter where they live — can marry the people they love,” Clinton told the crowd. He has since called his approval of that law one of his biggest mistakes as President and has urged the Supreme Court to strike the law down. “You are the agents of change. I got this award tonight, because I was the object of your affection – or not, as the case may be,” he added. “My daughter led me to support the marriage equality law in New York when we were debating it, and to oppose North Carolina’s denial of marriage equality, and to do all these other things. So I want to thank her too. Thank you, GLAAD. Thank you, Chelsea.” “Whenever we turn away from treating someone with the dignity and honor and the respect that we would like accorded to ourselves, we have to face the fact it’s about us,” Clinton concluded. Where do you stand on marriage equality? How long do you think til everybody’s kids do like Chelsea and get their parents to “get with the times?” SplashNews
Hot tub Bible study??? WTF??? Youth Pastor In Texas Arrested For Sex Abuse In Hot Tub With Teen Via CBS DFW-Local A former North Texas youth pastor has been accused of having an improper contact with a 16-year old girl. Garland police arrested Joshua Earls earlier this week. Investigators confirmed that Earls, 28, had been the youth pastor at Arapaho Baptist Church for about four years. He resigned from the position in July of 2012. Garland police spokesman Officer Joe Harn said, “We don’t know all the reasoning behind his resignation, but yes, we just recently found out about this case.” David Alvey, a spokesperson for Arapaho Road Baptist Church, says church leaders weer shocked to learn about the allegations two weeks ago. He says the girl’s family is devastated. “It’s very painful, very painful. They’re hurting. This was a sacred trust that was betrayed.” Police say the girl’s parents discovered the problem when they found inappropriate pictures on her cell phone. In an affidavit, police say during a bible study swim party last April or May, Earls was sitting next to the girl in a hot tub when he grabbed her hand and put it in his swim trunks. Detectives say the current accusations are part of an active investigation, but they worry other children, who were preyed on, have not come forward. “The church is in the process and has started this week in contacting and letting parents and youth know what has gone on,” Harn explained. “Detectives do suspect that there are other victims.” As it stands, police believe any possible victims were all female and under the age of 17. Apparently perverts run in the family… In addition to Joshua Earls, detectives are now calling his younger brother, Jordan Earls, a person of interest in the cases. Police say they have some questions for Jordan Earls, 24, about other possible inappropriate contact with children at Arapaho Baptist. Jordan Earls now lives in South Carolina, but when he resided in North Texas was listed as an adult volunteer at the church. Jordan Earls is currently in jail on unrelated charge. They need to take both of these muhfuggas into a field and put them down. Image via Garland Police/Florence County Sheriffs Department

North Korea is so trendy now, so it would only make sense that so are their female soldiers, you know, stickin’ it to function footwear when they march, and doing what most Korean women I know do, slut out in 5 inch heels, but I guess that’s only because the only Korean women I know work at rub and tugs. I don’t know, I guess the good news for North Korea is that the men aren’t wearing 5 inch heels, because that would probably lower their intimidation factor by alot, not that I don’t fear men in heels, especially when I bump into them in back alleys ready to rape, but because the rest of the world find that shit pansy cuz they’ve never been raped by a man in heels. All this to say, I like this uniform, and like any dictator, I’d be doing the same thing, only my female soldiers would be in crotchless panties..

My name is Lauren and I’m from North East England. I fell in love with Justin after watching him sing Ne-Yo’s ‘So Sick’ on YouTube. I became obsessed. I started a small collection of posters and merchandise which eventually became a massive one. I went to see ‘Never Say Never,’ and realized I needed tickets for the My World tour ASAP. I came home, went online and booked tickets for the show in Newcastle, 22 days before the show! I was so exited and determined to meet him afterwards, even though I didn’t have meet and greets. The day came and the show was amazing! However, I never managed to meet him. I thought that was it, I couldn’t wait for his next tour. So 1 year later, I heard news of the Believe Tour. I was so exited that I would have another chance of meeting Justin. I booked my tickets for a show that got cancelled. I was gutted, as I managed to even get front row! Despite that, I booked for another show in Manchester. Finally the day came and I was again sure I was going to meet him that night. I was so close to him performing, but I failed to meet him again. I entered the BieberFever contest 3 days before the winners would be announced for another show. I was constantly refreshing my emails on my phone, but nothing. I had butterflies and then I saw, “CONGRATULATIONS LAUREN!” I burst out into tears, hysterical. I ran down the stairs and shouted to my mum that I’d won! She was crying too with happiness for me as she knew how much it meant to me! I told my friend who I was taking on the phone with and she was crying just as bad as me! She came straight to my house and we booked train tickets to Birmingham which was where the show was! February 28, 2013 was the best day of my life. When we got to the arena, we went round the back and saw his tour buses, it became real. I looked to the stage door and Scooter was there! We ran over and he was in a rush, to even see him made my cry! We got photos and he left. The time came when we could go and collect our wristbands. Once we were in like to meet Justin, I was prepared to wait all day, all week, all year for this one moment! We couldn’t stay for the show even though we had paid because we had to catch our train but I’d seen it a week before so it was fine. Dan Kanter was there talking to some fans! I kept seeing flashes behind the tent where Justin was and to think I was in the same room as him made me start crying. Luckily I got to be in a group of only four. I walked through the curtain and there he was, looking perfect. He looked like a doll, he was so flawless! I was hysterical. I walked over to Justin and he hugged me and said, “Aw, don’t cry sweetie!” This made me cry loads more, he called me sweetie! I managed to stand next to him in the photo. After the picture, I began to walk out the room in floods of tears. JUSTIN BIEBER JUST HAD HIS ARM AROUND ME, AND MINE WAS AROUND HIM. Was this real? I shouted, “I love you” and he shouted, “Love you too!” This made my whole life! On the train home, it still felt like a dream to me. I feel so blessed and lucky to have had this experience. Haters told me it would never happen and guess what, it did! Dreams do come true. Never say never and believe that it will happen. This has made my whole life, it’s complete. I cant wait for his next tour, hopefully I’ll meet him again! Thank you Justin and BieberFever for making my dreams a reality! I am so grateful! Read the original: My name is Lauren and I’m from North East England. I fell in…
