Madonna Points Gun to Head on Stage in London

Madonna. Is she a revolutionary, provocative entertainer? Or an aging act desperate for attention? This question has been posed over the last couple weeks, as the Material Girl has gone to unusually extreme lengths on stage during various concerts. She mooned a crowd in Rome. She purposely slipped a nip in Istanbul. She cried in Berlin . She’s facing a lawsuit for flashing a Swastika over the face of a politician in Paris. And, last night in London, she pulled out a gun and pointed it at her cranium during the single “Gang Bang.” Following the controversy over Lindsay Lohan’s recent gun-toting spread – the national suicide hotline referred to that act as “grossly irresponsible,” considering the troubled individuals who pull the trigger in real life – it’s safe to assume Madonna will also come under fire now for the maneuver. Should she? What do you make of this loaded gesture?

Beast Zuckerberg: The World’s Richest (and Possibly Cutest) Dog

Guests at the surprise wedding of Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan wedding first saw the bride in her beautiful white gown , accompanied by the couple’s dog, Beast. The 1-year-old Puli, an Internet celebrity in his own right (he has 570,000 Facebook fans), wore his shaggy Hungarian sheepdog hair pinned up over his eyes. Check out the photo of Beast and Chan in her wedding dress : Beast first joined Chan and Zuckerberg in their Palo Alto, Calif., house last year, a month after he was born. He has since pooped on Zuckerberg’s rug, visited the Facebook offices, and met the Dog Whisperer , Cesar Millan, among other milestones. Most of all, he has become an important and meaningful member of the family. Both Zuckerberg and Chan , known as Dad and Mom on Beast’s page, feature their beloved dog in the cover photos of their personal Facebook pages. Walking mom down the aisle to marry dad? Doesn’t get better than that.

Madonna Covers Lady Gaga in Concert: A Diss or a Tribute?

Madonna recently went out of her way to once again not-so-subtly remind everyone that she is, in fact, in a sense, an older version of Lady Gaga. The queen of pop was performing “Express Yourself” at a rehearsal in Tel Aviv, Israel when she suddenly trotted out a cover of “Born This Way.” Of course, the two tracks blended seamlessly, reviving debate over whether Lady Gaga ripped off Madonna with her 2011 smash hit single. Madonna Covers Born This Way Although she stayed mum on Gaga’s song for some time, Madge eventually referred to it as “reductive” and undoubtedly influenced by her earlier work. There is no actual feud here, but the whole thing seems to have an air of condescension, as if Madonna is wielding the cover over her head. Or, on the other hand, is Madonna merely winking at the controversy while celebrating the younger performer and the highest form of flattery? Tell us what you think in the comments below.

Sunny Leone’s New Movie Jism 2 Is NOT a Porn [PIC]

Indo-Canadian actress Sunny Leone is breast known as a Penthouse Pet of the Year and as a Vivid contract girl, so we weren’t surprised to read that she’d been cast in Jism 2 . The shocking part? Jism 2 is not a porn. It’s a Bollywood horror flick, and Leone was cast by producer Mahesh Bratt , who says he was unaware of Sunny’s pornographic past ( suuuuuuure he was) when he recruited her for the role. However, since then Sunny’s risque resume has shocked the socially conservative Indian public, and other names, such as non-nude Bollywood starlet Mallika Sherawat , have been rumored as replacements. The producers of Jism 2 have wisely capitalized on the controversy as a marketing opportunity, and this week released an ambiguous, erotic promo poster (above) that cleverly disguises the actress’s face. Seemingly unaware of the double entendre, tabloids across the subcontinent printed the picture with the screaming headline “Whose Jism Is That?!” And that, Skin fans, is the rest of the story. Turn up the heat with spicy pics of Sunny Leone after the jump!

I kind of got him at a weak and vulnerable point I guess you could say. We really didn’t discuss her. How was he as a boyfriend? Great, a good boyfriend. All the rumors or whatever they have against him, I never witnessed any of that so I saw a different Chris Brown.

Chelsea Handler: No Regrets Over Angelina Jolie Bashing

Chelsea Handler referred to Angelina Jolie by a few very ugly words this weekend during a stand-up routine in New Jersey. Addressing the controversy on her talk show last night, the comedian said she had no regrets over bashing the actress, but she did have a response for those that assumed the insults were a result of Handler’s friendship with Jennifer Aniston. “I’ve been making fun of Angelina Jolie since she made out with her brother!” Handler said, bring up Jolie’s awkward kiss with James Haven at the 2000 Oscars. Are you on Team Chelsea or Team Angelina? Has Handler, who is clearly dating 50 Cent , learned anything from this experience? Only that she may need fresh material. “[I need] to write some new jokes,” she said.

Body scanner saved 35,000 ‘naked’ images | ZDNet

This is very shocking stuff: At the heart of the controversy over “body scanners” is a promise: The images of our naked bodies will never be public. U.S. Marshals in a Florida Federal courthouse saved 35,000 images on their scanner. These are those images. A Gizmodo investigation has revealed 100 of the photographs saved by the Gen 2 millimeter wave scanner from Brijot Imaging Systems, Inc., obtained by a FOIA request after it was recently revealed that U.S. Marshals operating the machine in the Orlando, Florida courthouse had improperly-perhaps illegally-saved images of the scans of public servants and private citizens. So much for not being able to store, print, transmit or save the image. If you believe that, you’ll believe anything … idiots.

Ron Paul on Ground Zero Mosque Demagogy

A very good debate happened on MSNBC last night regarding the utter non-issue of the Ground Zero mosque controversy. Like him or not, Ron Paul exposes the neoconservative motives behind the vitriol against this mosque. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ6Hzf0x1vk&feature=player_embedded# ! “Is the controversy over building a mosque near ground zero a grand distraction or a grand opportunity? Or is it, once again, grandiose demagoguery?” “It has been said, “Nero fiddled while Rome burned.” Are we not overly preoccupied with this controversy, now being used in various ways by grandstanding politicians? It looks to me like the politicians are “fiddling while the economy burns.”” The statement continues here: http://www.ronpaul.com/2010-08-20/ron-paul-sunshine-patriots-stop-your-demagogy-… added by: ScottyT
