ROYAL FAMILY SCANDAL ALERT! Queen Elizabeth II has been caught on camera clearly giving the infamous Nazi salute popularized by Adolf Hitler and his cronies. But there’s a pretty big catch: The incident took place in 1933. When Elizabeth was seven years old. British tabloid The Sun actually tried to make this a story in its latest issue, covering its front page with a still image from a 17-second video it obtained and writing as a headline: “Their Royal Heil nesses.” The newspaper’s official Twitter account then wrote as a message: “Secret 1933 film shows Edward VIII teaching Nazi salute to Queen.” As you might expect, many critics called out The Sun for trying to turn a child’s gesture (which took place prior to Hitler truly becoming Hitler , of course) into a scandal. “If the Queen does another Nazi Salute let me know about it. Until then…she was 7 and it didn’t even have it’s eventual context. Not news,” Ricky Gervais Tweeted in response, speaking for anyone with a brain. The comedian went on to say: “I wish all those headlines ‘Ricky Gervais defends The Queen’ more accurately read ‘Ricky Gervais defends the actions of a 7 year old child.” How has The Sun defended its actions? “These images have lain hidden for 82 years. We publish them today, knowing they do not reflect badly on our Queen, her late sister or mother in any way. “They do, however, provide a fascinating insight into the warped prejudices of Edward VIII and his friends in that bleak, paranoid, tumultuous decade.” So, really, supposedly, this is a scandal about Edward VIII and not the eventual Queen? Got it. Either way: WHO CARES?!?
Well, Shark Week 2015 has officially come and gone, but if you think the great whites and hammerheads of the world are ready to quietly swim away from the spotlight, think again. Apparently, it's still not safe to go back in the water, as Australian pro surfer Mick Fanning learned the hard way during his most recent competition. If you're the squeamish type, don't worry: Mick somehow survived the attack without injury, and there's nothing too graphic in the video above. However, if you're planning a beach vacation in the next couple weeks, you may want to skip the clip to help preserve your peace of mind. There's still no word on what prompted the attack, but we're guessing the sea beast saw the cameras and decided to advance his species by helping to promote the release of Sharknado 3 . Those toothy prima donnas really become addicted to fame lately.
You may already be familiar with the name Chet Haze. If not, prepare to be annoyed: Chet Haze: White and Purple That, friends, is the hardest rapper in the game, Chester Hanks, aka Tom Hanks’ son, aka Chet straight outta muthaf–kin’ Malibu Haze! We already knew that Chet is an embarrassment to Hanks and his wife (as he should be) but now it seems that the rest of the world is catching on to what a human facepalm this kid is. It seems Chet’s been taking a lot of flak this week, as a result of an interview on Eminem’s Sirius station in which the DJ and callers positively tore him a new one. (“You’re not Tom Hanks. You just came out of Tom Hanks’ d-ck,” is our favorite quote.) Like the rest of the world, Howard Stern found this hilarious and decided to crack a few jokes at Chet’s expense: Howard Stern on Chet Haze Actually pretty tame by Stern standards, but Chet wasn’t havin’ it, G! The former Mr. Chester Marlon Hanks went off on Stern in a lengthy Twitter rant, in which he promised the radio icon, “I am going to see you in person, and I am going to hurt you.” He went on to blast Stern’s show as “LAME FUCKING YUPPIE HUMOR!” Yes, the son of Tom Hanks’ son (whose name, again, is Chester) is calling other people yuppies. The worst part of this whole thing is that Chet Haze is fresh from rehab so he can’t even blame his idiocy on drugs. Stern has yet to publicly respond to the fact that he now has beef with the realest thug in Beverly Hills, but we imagine he’ll address Chester’s complaints on his show tomorrow. 17 Most Intelligent Rappers in the Game 1.

The writing was on the wall Joan Rivers Pronounced Dead At Mt Sinai Hospital Via Variety Raunchy, gravelly-voiced and self-deprecating comedian Joan Rivers, who rose from Greenwich Village standup to occasional host of “The Tonight Show” and star of TV’s “Fashion Police,” died Thursday after going into cardiac arrest during a medical procedure on Sept. 3. She was 81. “She passed peacefully at 1:17pm surrounded by family and close friends,” her daughter, Melissa, said in a statement. “My mother’s greatest joy in life was to make people laugh. Although that is difficult to do right now, I know her final wish would be that we return to laughing soon.” Rivers had been admitted to New York’s Mt. Sinai hospital after she stopped breathing during a procedure on her vocal cords at a New York Clinic, and was placed in a medically-induced coma to assess her condition. A petite blonde firebrand, the always-wry Rivers, known for the catchphrase “Can we talk?,” was a pioneering confessional female comic, lampooning her personal life (her parents, her marriage, her plastic surgery) on TV and in clubs for more than five decades. Whatever the gig — permanent replacement host on “The Tonight Show,” co-host of “Fashion Police,” her own varied syndicated talkshows, Vegas engagements, bestselling nonfiction books, often biting commentator on awards’ show arrivals along with daughter Melissa and even QVC saleswoman — the petite, feisty Rivers was never far out of the spotlight. Her biting comedy, ability to ad-lib effortlessly in any situation and sheer moxie endeared her to generations of television viewers. She was the ultimate yenta, the quintessential kibbitzer — a talent exemplified in her scathing commentary on E!’s “Fashion Police.” Rivers started co-hosting the show in 2010 along with Giuliana Rancic, Kelly Osbourne and George Kotsiopoulos. While many have lacked any sort of empathy for Joan and her family, she will certainly be missed by many Hollyweird and and beyond. Rest In Peace, Joan Rivers. Image via WENN
No wonder they don’t want cell phones and cameras around… Missouri Officer Suspended After Threatening To Kill Peaceful Protester SMH. If this is the kind of footage rolling in with photos and recording on such restriction , imagine what isn’t being caught on film in Ferguson each day… Peep the video here: And another protester’s perspective here: Via MailOnline : An unnamed police officer from St. Ann, Missouri, has been relieved of duty and suspended indefinitely after he was caught on camera pointing an assault rifle at a protester, in Ferguson, on Tuesday night. The officer was supposed to part of the effort to keep peace, but instead two separate videos uploaded to YouTube on Wednesday show him pointing a semi-automatic assault rifle at protestors and shouting: ‘I will f****** kill you.’ The incident happened just before midnight on Tuesday during the latest of several protests that have followed the August 9 shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a Ferguson police officer. On the video, a man is heard saying, ‘Oh my God! Gun raised!’ as the officer approaches. The identity of the man who shot the video is not known. ‘My hands are up, bro! My hands are up!’ the man said. The officer walks near the man with his gun pointed and appears to say, ‘I will f****** kill you.’ Another protestor then asks the officer to identify himself. ‘What’s your name, sir?’ he asks. ‘Go f*** yourself,’ the officer replies. In another video, protestors can be heard shouting at the officer to lower his weapon. St. Louis County police spokesman Brian Schellman said a county police sergeant took immediate action, telling the officer to lower the weapon and escorting him from the area. The officer was suspended indefinitely on Wednesday afternoon. ‘A St. Ann Police Officer pointed a semi-automatic assault rifle at a peaceful protestor after a verbal exchange. ‘It was at this time a St. Louis County Police Sergeant walked over and immediately took action, forcing the officer to lower the weapon, and escorting him away from the area,’ said a statement from the county police department. ‘The unified command strongly feel these actions are inappropriate, and not indicative of the officers who have worked daily, to keep the peace.’ At lease Officer Go-Fawk-Yourself was taken off duty…so we’re told. But how many more are on the grounds like him? These cops are getting drunk with power and seem to feel that they ARE the law rather than the protectors/enforcers of it.
Remember when Ron Artest changed his name to Metta World Peace and everyone thought it was the height of ridiculousness? Well, today the former New York Knicks forward set out to prove that when you’re dealing with Mr. World Peace, things can always get more absurd. Having been released by the Knicks at the end of last season, Metta is currently starting for the Sichuan Blue Whales of the Chinese Basketball Association. Earlier this week, World Peace informed his Twitter followers that he’d reveal his “new Chinese name” in the near future. Unfortunately for The Panda, a Chinese newspaper nearly beat him to the punch: “New high-profile import playing for CBA club Sichuan Blue Whales is known as Ron Artest but intends to change his name to ‘Panda Friend,'” reported China Daily . Thankfully, The Panda was quick to debunk that ridiculous rumor: “Guys my chinese is not “Panda Friend,” it’s “The Pandas Friend,” he tweeted today. Thank God he sorted that out. “Panda Friend” sounds like some sort of crazy person’s name. No word yet on why Mr. Friend chose to leave out the apostrophe. Maybe he was worried it would make him look ridiculous.
Rest in power Maya. Maya Angelou 911 Call Released Just before Maya Angelou’s passing , her distraught caretaker called 911 to ask for help. TMZ reports: Maya Angelou had informed her staff she did NOT want to be resuscitated in the event of her death … this according to the caretaker who called 911. The caretaker called 911 to report Maya’s death — but told the operator she was hesitant to perform CPR because the famed poet had previously been crystal clear … when she passed, don’t try to bring her back. The operator tells the caretaker to perform CPR regardless — because Maya didn’t have a “Do Not Resuscitate” order — and the caretaker complied … to no avail. As we reported, Angelou passed away Wednesday at the age of 86. Unfortunately your browser does not support IFrames. So sad, her caretaker was obviously torn between honoring her wishes and wanting to help.
Did Sundy ‘s boyfriend put his hands on Brandi at the reunion? Star Brandi Maxiell Says Sundy Carter’s 20-Year-Old Boyfriend Attacked Her The ‘Basketball Wives LA’ Reunion special that aired earlier this week was filled with more drama than you could shake a stick at. Stars Sundy Carter and Brandi Maxiell beefed for most of the special until Brandi stood up and charged towards Sundy, causing people from the audience to add to the chaos too. Brandi and Malaysia’s supporters hopped on the stage ready to catch fade in their honor, including Sundy’s college aged boyfriend who ran on stage to defend his granny girlfriend. Jackie Christie talked about the fight with The Home of Hip Hop and said Sundy’s boyfriend attacked Brandi: “It was a free-for-all. People were fighting, Sundy’s boyfriend grabbed Brandi up, you know, and told her ‘you’re not going to touch her.’ She was cursing at him; it was crazy. People were fighting, camera guys got hit by accident trying to film. It was an all out brawl pretty much.” “It was just everybody, everywhere. Then all of a sudden, they made the whole audience get out and went ballistic, and was like, ‘everyone needs to leave – this is uncalled for, this is intolerable’. Shed Media, everybody, VH1, everybody was very on point in getting the audience out of there. It had become a very hostile situation pretty quickly, but I didn’t actually see any physical violence, I just seen that it was chaos. Things flying through the air and people screaming and all kinds of stuff. Yeah, it was straight chaos! I couldn’t believe it – I was so happy Chani [Chantel] decided not to attend because I would have been trying to protect my daughter, protect myself, help Sundy, you know, keep the peace, because that was my whole intent.” Brandi took to her Twitter after the incident and confirmed the fight: Another audience member confirmed the attack: Well, you know what they say: “You are who you attract” and clearly Sundy is dating a trash bird just like herself!

Being able to write my own Bieber experience is a dream come true. My name is Amelia, I am 16 years old and I can finally say after years of waiting, I have met my lifesaver. On Friday the 29th of November 2013 I was stalking for Justin around the city but there were no leads and Justin and the crew weren’t coming down from there hotel. A few hours later I went to Pattie’s book signing and thankfully to my friend from Twitter, I was the third person to meet her and I got to meet her again after! It was so nice meeting Pattie. She was so sweet, small and pretty. After meeting her I went to the Believe Tour for night one! To say it was amazing was an understatement, the whole show has been put together with so much hard work and dedication. The concert was unforgettable I loved it. The next day however (Saturday the 30th) was going to be so much better. I went stalking and again had no luck. I went home and started to get ready for my Believe Tour MEET & GREET. Soon I was in a fast moving line, with Justin standing right behind a curtain. He was perfection. Justin was so flawless, perfect and sweet. It all happened so fast, I can hardly remember it but I did get to say, “I love you.” The few seconds I was standing next to Justin has made my life complete. After meeting Justin I rushed to the show and eventually got to be front row to see my baby perform. I thought the night before was amazing but that night was the best night of my life! Justin was less than a metre away from me for half the concert and I still can’t believe it happened. Not to mention being able to witness Justin singing ‘Hold Tight’ for the first time ever live. These have been the most amazing experience that I worked hard and waited for. Every belieber can meet him, if you work hard and never give up I promise! -Amelia (@AussiieBelieber) Read the rest here: Being able to write my own Bieber experience is a dream come…
