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.

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.
