Snippet Of Rihanna's Tell All Interview
ABC's highly anticipated 20/20 interview with Rihanna airs tomorrow night at 9, but they aired about 5 minutes of it this morning. Check it out.
This guy is NOT the sharpest tool in the shed.... AT ALL
Ben Welbourn (right) saved John Richardson (left) and his wife from their burning home.... But it later emerged he started the fire himself
I bet he thought his plan was foolproof LOL.... Instead of quitting while he was still ahead, Ben Welbourn, 19, just couldn't help himself.
The Telegraph reported that Welbourn, who was twice hailed as a lifesaver after he rescued people from their burning homes, was exposed as a serial arsonist who started the fires in the first place.
In July, he was praised for rescuing Gina and John Richardson from their bungalow in Bilborough, Notts, and even braved the flames to run back inside and bring out the couple's 15-year-old dog. Two weeks later, the teenager displayed his pyromania "heroics" again when he woke 89 year old Fay Florio to tell her her home was on fire and led her from the blaze.
After the first fire, Welbourn was showered with adoration, but when his face again appeared in the local newspapers for a second arson, a suspicious neighbour suspected him for his previous "heroics" and contacted the fire service.
An investigation was launched, and Welbourn was arrested and charged. He pleaded guilty to two counts of arson and was sentenced to four years in jail.
5-year-old Romanian boy is Guiness Book of World Records' strongest child
*Blank stare*....
Now this is just amazing.... at 5 years old, how many of us can boast that we had a six-pack? Giuliano Stroe was recently inducted into the Guinness World Records, and if you watch the video below, there can be no question about his world record. The boy is a freak of nature, and I mean that in the nicest way possible. According to NYDailyNews.com, Giuliano has been training since he was 2 in the town in Italy where his family lives.
One word: Gifted
His father, Julian Stroe, told the Daily Mail newspaper "He has been going to the gym with me ever since he was born. I always took him with me when I went training." (Forgive me, but that doesn't sound right at all.)
Even though Giuliano is CLEARLY much stronger and more muscular than average, Stroe insists that his son's workout schedule isn't excessive....
"He is never allowed to practice on his own. He is only a child, and if he gets tired, we go and play," he said. (Yeah, play with the benchpress machine.)
Let's just give him the benefit of the doubt and hope that he isn't Joe Jackson-ing his son in order to make money.
Chris Brown "I Can Transform Ya"
Oh Chris...
So Chris Breezy is apparently missing Rihanna. Check out the video that he posted of them during happier times. Awwww.
TMI, Tracy Morgan
In a recent interview with playboy, Tracy Morgan got a bit too personal when he let the world know of his love for anal sex. Freaky much? Check the excerpt and see for yourself."I like fucking ass! Ain’t nothin’ like the butthole. The ass is a delicacy, goddamn it. I’d put hot sauce on it. When you eat the brown hole, that’s when her toes do this. [sticks legs out and curls toes] You got to be willing to do anything to please your woman, to satisfy her. I didn’t invent it. You think I was the first one to think of having anal sex with a girl? Hell, no. I’m quite sure Adam fucked Eve in the ass. In the Garden of Eden he tore her ass up, and she was screaming like a motherfucker."
Ok, then.
Power of Prayer
This is just amazing. Angela Montez, a check cashing clerk at a store in Louisiana had the scare of her life on Monday when a young man, identified as 23-year-old Gregory L. Smith entered the store, jumped over the counter, pointed a gun at her and demanded money. Angela started to pray and eventually got the would-be robber to talk to her, admitting that he had a young daughter, and he feared that he would soon be homeless. Watch the video.
Jail time for Weezy?
Looks like everyone's favorite syrup-sipping rapper might be headed to jail soon. The 27-year-old Lil Wayne is expected to accept an 8-month bid in jail for an alleged incident back in 2007 where a .40-caliber loaded pistol was found on his tour bus. According to All Hip Hop.com, if Wayne doesn't accept the plea, he can spend up to 15 years in Prison.
First Lady Fab
According to Mrs Obama, "One of our goals was to focus on the importance of educating our kids about healthy eating. So it wasn't just about planting a garden."
Around 100 children from local elementary schools attended the event as well as some parents. In keeping with the Healthy Kids theme, chefs Koren Grieveson, Todd Gray and dietitian Ellie Krieger were there to whip up some healthy meals for the kiddies such as sweet and zesty popcorn and zucchini quesadillas.
The first lady mingled with the kids by running an obstacle course, spinning 142 times on the hula hoop and playing double dutch. Fun times for a good cause. Isn't she just fab?
*Blank stare*
Why does this seem like it's supposed to be a parody (when we all know its not)? I thought a trailer was supposed to pique one's interest, and leave them wanting more. The comments on the video aren't even complimentary, so I know I'm not the only one who is questioning the film. The makers of this film did me a favor so hats off to them! I won't be paying to watch this nonsense.
I think they did themselves more bad than good by letting me see this "exclusive scene".... Movie of the year? NEGATIVE!
Video: Obama calling Kanye a jackass
In the previous post, we had audio of President Obama calling Kanye West a jackass during an off the record statement. This is further proof that the environment was indeed a relaxed one. Let's cut the president some slack indeed. Still priceless though.
You KNOW things are bad when President Obama chimes in and calls you a jackass
That's right, the world's favourite American has given his two cents on the Kanye West VMA rant where he embarrassed 19-year-old Taylor Swift. Check the audio below.
What has Kanye West done? Can Mr. West come back from this? His chances ain't lookin' good at all. To be fair to
President Obama, this should never have been released, not just because it was an off the record statement, but also
because he was clearly in a relaxed environment - not a professional one. I hope that people don't take this too seriously
and start jumping on his back.
If the YouTube player (above) fails to work, go to TMZ for another link to the audio. In TMZ we trust lol.
Do you believe Kanye?
After his douche-worthy outburst at the VMAs on Sunday night, Kanye West took to Jay Leno's show last night to apologize. Although the apology wasn't planned, he let Jay Leno know that he wanted to talk before he performed "Run This Town" with Jay-Z and Rihanna. (See the VMA outburst below.)
I must admit, he looked and sounded sincere especially when Leno asked him what his mother would have said if she were alive. Let's see if this incident will relieve Kanye of a chunk of his big ego. Bad pun intended.
Artist Spotlight: Drake
What is so special about Drake is that he managed to generate considerable buzz – without the aid of a record label, and had industry heavy hitters like Lil' Wayne, Kanye West and Jay-Z all vying for an opportunity to work with him. His hit single “Best I Ever Had” was arguably the best song of summer 2009. Between June and July, the track sold 600,000 digital downloads and topped three separate pop charts.
Currently signed to Lil Wayne’s management Hip Hop Since 1978, he was involved in major bidding wars with Universal Motown, Warner Music Group, and Atlantic Records. He eventually signed a lucrative record deal with Aspire/Young Money/Cash Money Records in June and took home a hefty $2 million advance.
Despite his mother being an educator, Drake never graduated from high school. However, he showed determination despite adversity from very early in his career, and perhaps that is the reason why he is as successful as he is today. With no backing whatsoever, he released his first mixtape back in 2006, appropriately titled “Room for improvement.” This was succeeded by his other mixtapes “Comeback Season” and “So Far Gone.” His debut album “Thank Me Later” is expected to be released next February.
Kanyeeee! No you didn't!
Way to ruin Taylor Swift's big night at the VMA awards.
When Taylor was on stage making her acceptance speech for winning Best Female Video award, Kanye ran out onto the stage and took the microphone from her to give a shout-out to Beyonce, one of the other nominees.
"Taylor, I'm really happy for you. I'll let you finish," Kanye told an obviously stunned Taylor. "But Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time ... one of the best videos of all time!"
The camera showed a stunned Beyonce in the audience, mouth open in disbelief at what she was seeing. And poor Taylor stood by speechless before some in the audience began to boo Kanye as he left the stage.

Kanye why would you do that? Yes Beyonce had a great video but Taylor Swift is a young'in in the industry. Beyonce has won soooo many awards and losing this award would not have done anything to her or her confidence. To embarrass someone infront of the whole world is ridiculous. I love Taylor Swift and she had a beautiful video. You GOOO Taylor Swift!
This is a video of Kanye's selfish outburst. There is no recovering from this one Kanye - you are officially a jackass.
Texas Southern University's Police Department suspends employee after MLK Building robbery
Texas Southern University's Police Department chief announced the resignation of one employee and the suspension of another, due to their "dereliction of duty" during Thursday's MLK building robbery.
Above: TSU Police Chief Roger Byars
The burglary, which is the THIRD such incident to occur in the MLK building in 3 months, has placed the school's police department under further scrutiny after its failure to prevent theft to both the MLK building and other buildings across the campus.
New Artist: Jaicko
Jaicko Lawrence: One of the few Barbadians to carve a path to the International music scene
I've witnessed Jaicko's passion for music, and I have to say that he really deserves the rewards he is getting for all his hard work so far. For YEARS, he has been working diligently at his skill, undergoing deliberate transformations over the years (all that without losing his hair). Congratulations to him for the record deal, and the first single. Watch the video for his single "Oh Yeah" below.
The first line of the second verse was funny. I was thinking to myself, "at least he noticed."
Miami Herald: Cuba faces toilet paper shortage
Precious commodity?
Who would've imagined this? With the global economy being the way it is, I thought that other things would become scarce, but Cuba has redefined bizarre, by being the first country to suffer from a toilet paper drought in recent years. (Honestly, I have a hunch that they're probably the first country to ever suffer such a plight.) This makes me wonder what is wrong with the food in Cuba. After all, why else would there be such a bizarre shortage in the country?
The Miami Herald reported:
There's good news and bad news in Cuba.
The bad news: There's a shortage of toilet paper, and officials in Havana say it will not ease until the end of the year.
The good news: Day-old copies of the Communist party's newspaper Granma, a traditional substitute, are available for less than a U.S. penny. And that's six to eight full, if rough, pages per day.
Just for laughs Part 3
This is hilarious (to me anyways), but it wouldn't be remotely amusing if experienced in real life. I'm warning you, it's sexually suggestive, but it is not in any way explicit. It is a legitimate commercial.
So I was doing my regular internet surfing, when I stumbled upon a topic which I thought was totally crazy, because the poster was questioning whether Google is racist. Sounds crazy right? I thought the same thing, but the screenshot photo he posted (see below) was funny.
Security officials' heads need to start rolling at TSU
For the umpteenth time, the security at Texas Southern University was breached when the School of Communications' Martin Luther King building was burgled late last night or early this morning. Not only were the building's HDTV monitors stolen for the second time in 3 months, but the dean's office was somehow hit by the theft spree.
What makes this latest incident ridiculous is the fact that there were alarms and cameras throughout the building which were fully functional, but the official(s) responsible for ensuring security on the campus reportedly took TWO hours to respond to the alarms.
After the Trae Day shooting at the campus during the summer, President Rudley issued a statement pledging an improvement and increase of the university's security personnel and facilities. In his statement, Rudley said:

After the Trae Day shooting at the campus during the summer, President Rudley issued a statement pledging an improvement and increase of the university's security personnel and facilities. In his statement, Rudley said:
During the past year, we have made the following improvements to our security systems:
- increased lighting across the campus, both the interior and the perimeter areas
- increased video surveillance cameras across campus, including new sites around the perimeter of the university
- increased police presence and patrols during peak hours
- increased foot patrols across the campus
added bicycle patrols - provided continuous inspection of the emergency call boxes to ensure functionality
- provided escort services for students, faculty, staff and visitors
- increased building access security measures
- increased specialized training for all police officers, including criminal investigation training, and training for police leadership through the FBI National Academy.
My honest opinion is that the University's Department of Safety needs to undergo a radical revamp, because it is inexplicable how often the security officials have failed to be proactive where violence on the campus is concerned. There is no point sugar-coating the incident and making it seem like an issue which can be easily rectified.
Beginning of the end?.... Mexico decriminalizes small-scale drug possession
The Associated Press - Mexico decriminalized small amounts of marijuana, cocaine and heroin on Friday — a move that prosecutors say makes sense even in the midst of the government's grueling battle against drug traffickers.
I swear that some people have a lack of foresight. There is clearly a lack of logic in the development, and the Mexican officials have failed to foresee that the legalized "small amounts" will gradually and unofficially increase in size, and soon people will be trafficking this contraband across the border, and into the United States of America, starting with Texas. Thanks Mexico.... you have single-handedly conceded the World's defeat to drug cartels and pushers.
Oh what do we have here? It seems like Mexico is getting support from their American neighbors (or at least A neighbor). Former federal anti-drug agent Terry Nelson spoke about how legalizing and regulating all drugs can be used as a tactic to bankrupt violent drug cartels. Either this is wishful thinking, or he genuinely thinks that we're going to get suckered into believing that garbage. To put this into perspective, the Mexican government, and people like Nelson are essentially saying that if you can't beat them, join them. Way to go! Needless to say, I am being sarcastic, and I truly think that this is the dumbest piece of news I have heard in a while. Seth McFarlane (Family Guy) and the SNL writers must be teemed with ideas for spoofs of not just the situation, but videos like the one with the former current anti-turned-pro-drug agent Terry Nelson.
Usain Bolt.... the best ever.... breaks 200m World Record AGAIN!!
19.19.... Simply stunning....
Barbados' Ryan Brathwaite wins 110 m hurdles at IAAF World Championships!!
Ryan Brathwaite, 110 metres World Champion
As a Barbadian, I am proud of this man's achievements. I am even more proud of his humility before the race (unlike the other athletes who were trying too hard to display comfort), and his restraint after finding out that he was in the top 3, was impressive.
After he found out that he was the confirmed winner, there wasn't anything inappropriate about his celebration either, and I truly commend him, because he worked extremely hard from age-group level to reach where he is right now. He is still young, and I hope he uses this as a spring board to achieve greater things - like an Olympic gold medal.
Watch the race below.
Let's have a round of applause for Barney Frank!!
Rep. Barney Frank: a true realist.
Huffington Post reported that a constituent asked Barney Frank at his town hall meeting, "Why are you supporting this Nazi policy?," referring to President Obama's health policy. Frank asked the woman "On what planet do you spend most of your time?" and then then aptly described her insinuation as "vile, contemptible nonsense."
Priceless quote of the day:
"Trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table." - Barney Frank
Pure randomness....
Above: Mason Storm's lastest work, Supper at Emmaus, goes on exhibition at Gallery90. The painting, an adaptation of a classic 1601 Caravaggio masterpiece, shows Jesus and disciples feasting on McDonalds and Coca-Cola. (Taken from Telegraph Pics of the day)
I can't imagine what this guy was thinking when he did this. I'm still trying to decide whether or not this painting is blasphemous. If I had his artistic ability I'm not sure if I would use it to make a parody like this.
In all my years....
The sister on the far right is the only one here who seems to share my sentiments.... Her face is priceless.... She doesn't even seem interested
Meet Suman Khatun. I have no remorse for saying that this girl AND her parents need to be punished.
"Aww, but she is only 5 years old Ty, why would you punish her?" I will punish her because she knows what she is doing,
and she rebels (at FIVE-YEARS-OLD) in order to get food.
In just one week, she devours over 10 kilograms of rice, 24 eggs, six litres of milk and five kilos of potatoes.
There are times when you must bite the bullet and just do what is right - put "little" Suman on a treadmill and make her walk. Giving into the pressure which a FIVE-YEAR-OLD exerts, is damning and indicative of the parents' lack of competence.
Look at her go.... Her family (barring her sister) is shameless for letting this hit the media
The Telegraph reported that the girl's mother, Belly Bibi, said "When she is not fed she cries, shouts, screams and has even thrown rocks at us."
Oh dear.... I can't even comment on this one.... Oh wait, I can.... Who gets acne at FIVE-YEARS-OLD?
With all that is currently happening in the world.... why is THIS an issue?
Seems like a perfectly normal photo of the Obama family disembarking a plane to go on VACATION during the summer, right?.... Some people beg to differ.
Why is it that people are so conveniently conservative? I am sure that there is much more to be scoffed at in a land where pornography legally exists. In the Obama family, as far as their daily attire is concerned, I see a perfectly acceptable group of people who are representing the average person. With the temperatures as high as they are, why would anyone disapprove of her choice to wear shorts?!
It baffles me.
Michael Jackson's doctor Conrad Murray speaks out via YouTube
This guy has some nerve! Not only did Dr. Conrad Murray NOT apologize to the Jackson family for their loss, but in his Chris Brown-inspired public address, he thanked people for their support (....support?!) *LMAO*. He confidently said that he had "faith the truth will prevail," so only time will tell whether the "truth" will help clear his name, or pile on further embarrassment. TMZ says the video was arranged by Murray's publicist, so the doc might not be as dumb as people think after all, because he had the common sense to recognize that he is in over his head. Check out the address below.
Murray's financial woes before taking his $150,000 per month job (working for Jackson) have been highlighted by CNN,
raising more question marks about his motives, because Jackson would have been more help to him alive than dead. As it
turns out, Murray wasn't even working long enough to receive any payment from the singer before his untimely death.
With all things considered, it is no longer possible to predict how this case will go, so I'm just gonna wait and see
precisely what drug killed the singer, before pointing fingers at Houston's most famous doctor.
Usain Bolt.... the best ever!!
Asafa Powell is my personal favourite, but I have to give credit where it's due. Usain Bolt is without doubt the best sprinter in the world, and he has fast become the best to ever participate in the sport. At the Olympics, he ran 9.69 after slowing down to celebrate.... Here, he ran 9.58 running INTO the wind, after his customary slow start! I can't wait to see the day when he reaches his peak.
I've followed Bolt from his CARIFTA days, and it was no surprise to see him achieve these inexplicable speeds after he ironed out his technique for the highest level. He started out as a 200 and 400 meters runner, but has now evolved into a 100 meter dash sprinter who in my opinion, is still stronger at the aforementioned disciplines. Unless Bolt suffers injury or presses a self destruct button on his career *cough* steroids *cough*, none of these current sprinters will be able to rub shoulders with him (literally).
Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Mark McLeod.... Miley Cyrus' stalker
Above: Mark McLeod.... I'm still on the fence, unsure whether to laugh at this guy or be sickened by his bizzare obsession.
I'm not alone in saying that 53-year-old Mark McLeod is WRONG on every level for stalking Miley Cyrus, the 16-year-old Hannah Montana actress.
The BBC reported that McLeod, who claims to be secretly engaged to Cyrus, "was arrested after trying to contact the Hannah Montana actress on a film set near Savannah, Georgia."
According to the Telegraph, Tybee Island police chief Jim Price said "He (McLeod) was asking for Miley and going up and knocking on some doors" of beach homes near the set."
Price said "The security guards recognized him. In fact, he went up to the security guards and asked them 'Is Miley around?"'
The psycho apparently claimed he and Cyrus met 18 months earlier and that she had accepted his marriage proposal. He is said to have told police that Cyrus' father approved of their relationship and that Cyrus had sent him "secret messages" through her TV show. *crickets*
Barbadian singer Livvi Franc releases video for new single
Livvi Franc - Barbados' latest International female artist, and perhaps the most naturally gifted and versatile.
Jive Records' rising star Olivia Waithe, better known as Livvi Franc, recently released the video for her first single "I'm that B.I.T.C.H." featuring Reggaeton artist Pitbull. Check out the song, or watch the video below.
Cross your fingers that her album gets released this summer as reportedly planned, because time is running out.
This is what we call a blonde moment....
Small town girl turned BB Star: Jordan Lloyd
Meet Jordan Lloyd. She is a reality TV star due to her appearances on the show Big Brother, where her candid personality endears her to viewers of the show.
Below is an outtake of the show (it wasn't aired on TV.... Thank God) but it aired online via the 24-hour live feed which shows what goes on in the house. That explains how this piece of footage was acquired.
I can only surmise that Jordan is "cute" because of her obvious good looks, as well as her down-to-earthness and honesty about not being the most intelligent. I must say however, that I kinda feel for her. I was made to understand that she is extremely nice, but even with that in mind, it is my opinion that being this daft can only "cute" for so long.
