Again, no words… except… When are they going to start calling this guy a “thug?” Or maybe that label is only reserved for those the same color as Richard Sherman?
This pic was taken on Saturday, as Bieber enjoyed a Super Bowl party.
New York’s Mayor Bill de Blasio took his family to 42nd Street today – renamed Super Bowl Ave – and unleashed a series of taunts on his high afro son Dante after the two took a slide down the 6 stories Toboggan Run.
“Score one for the older generation,” the mayor said in excitement after the two raced down the slide and what appeared to be a win. “Victory for the parents! You got nothing! You got height and you got hair, but you got nothing else!”
The family, along with members of de Blasio’s administration took multiple rides on the slide with the mayor taunting all the way.
Continuing his monopoly on twentysomething nostalgia, Jimmy Fallon brought in three of the most beloved early ’90s father figures on Wednesday night to help sing away his Tonight Show transition blues.
Bob Saget, John Stamos, and Dave Coulier reprised their Full House roles — as Danny Tanner, Jesse Katsopolis, and Joey Gladstone, respectively — and the whole thing was so adorable, you might even forget that they were comforting a 39-year-old comedian dressed in children’s pajamas and sitting on a bed framed by four gigantic pencils (a la Michelle Tanner).
The guys also reenacted some of their signature Full House tag lines:
Two Bieber stories in a row? Wow.
Less than a week after getting arrested in Miami, the 19-year-old is back in his native Canada following a jaunt down to Panama—and he has run smack back into legal trouble.
Bieber is going to be charged with assault in connection with an incident reportedly involving his entourage, who were being investigated for allegedly roughing up a limo driver after the group attended a Toronto Maple Leafs game on Dec. 29, according to CBC News.
Legal reps for Bieber have not been available for comment, but we were told that Bieber was expected at the police station to turn himself in at around 6 p.m. local time.
Per the CBC, he will be officially charged at the 52 Division station and given a notice to appear at a later date.
So we all know about the website set up by the White House encouraging Americans to voice their opinion on matters important to them. Any petition that garners 100,000 signers would, according to the White House, get an official response.
The petition to deport Justin Bieber has already passed the 100,000 signatures requirement. So if you’re a fan of the misguided entertainer or if you call yourself a “belieber,” then maybe it’s time to start worrying.
Or maybe not.
Some people would do anything to be famous, that 15 minutes of fame is what they call it. Well veteran weatherman Jim Cantore, wrapping up his report on Winter Storm Leon, put an end to this youngster’s tryouts at stardom real fast, punctuating it with a knee to the unsuspecting prankster’s midsection.
Cantore was at the College of Charleston campus in South Carolina and you can see his attention was diverted for a split second before the hollering youngster makes his move, running full speed toward the weatherman.
Without missing a beat, Cantore simply raised his right knee, providing a rather hard surface for the fame seeker to run into. With him out of the way, Mr. Cantore finished up his thought on the weather storm, as if this sort of thing happened all the time.
“Obviously, here at the College of Charleston they are already having a good time,” Cantore said, as he finished up his report.

I’m not sure what to make of this, but here is a video of Vin Diesel, a big time Hollywood star currently playing a major role in the Fast and Furious series, “dancing” to Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse” and Beyonce’s “Drunk In Love”… and he did this act for 7 freaking minutes!
I know he was aware that the camera was on, cause the guy is actively playing the role of someone being filmed, looking into the lens of the recording device and singing… YES SINGING! Diesel then posted the video on his Facebook page for the world and all of his 63 million fans to see.
I’m just doing my small part in bringing this video to the world.
I have no other words for this one. Watch!
The Grammys last night broke a rule. No, not the joining of rapper Kendrick Lamar and Imagine Dragons as they did something never done before – perform a rap song in the form of heavy metal, or is it performing heavy metal in the form of a rap song. Whatever it was, it was amazing, and it was a first according to host LL Cool J.
See it again below. I promise to get into the conservative outrage after the video.
Wow. That was freaking amazing!
But so was the second rule that the Grammys broke last night, and the ourtrage today by the conservatives shows just how big a deal this rule was. Apparently, there was a rule that said never marry gays at the Grammys. That rule is no more as Queen Latifah presided over the joining together of 34 couples. And conservatives are flipping out!
The headline at The Drudge Report this morning spoke of “THE GAYMMYS,” and Twitter was overrun with people discussing the ceremony officiated by Queen Latifah during Macklemore’s performance of the same-sex marriage anthem “Same Love.”
At the conservative site Free Republic, a commenter who confessed to “see[ing] gays at the store” complained about how “[t]hey take every venue, every event, and have to gay it.” Another prayed that “the hands of the demented who applauded this sickeness rot off at their limp wrists.”
Those on the left generally applauded the ceremony. Hemant Mehta, the Friendly Atheist, tweeted:
Gay couples just got mass-married and now robots are embracing each other. All those conservatives’ nightmares have come true. #GRAMMYs

The ceremony.
Meanwhile, thousands die yearly at the hands of someone weilding a gun. Yet these same conservatives fight tooth and nail to deny sensible regulations, thus, keeping the death rate as high as possible.
Only in America.
In 1986, when Muhammad Ali Jr. was 14 years old, his father, the greatest boxer alive, picked up the teen for a visit.
“We got in the car, and I said I needed to stop for something to eat,” Ali Jr. recalls. “By the time I came back out, he was gone.”
Ali Jr. called his father’s new wife, Lonnie, and said, “Daddy left me up here. I don’t know why he left me.” She said she’d tell him as soon as he arrived home.
“He turned the car around and came back to pick me up,” Ali Jr. says. “I said, ‘Daddy, why did you leave me?’ He said, ‘I kind of forgot you were in the car.’ ”
Ali Jr. remembers it sadly, the moment when his dad’s Parkinson’s became apparent.
“That was the first time I actually realized something was wrong with him,” he said.
Now 41, nearly destitute and living in the dangerous Chicago neighborhood of West Englewood, Ali Jr. fears his father has now forgotten him for good — and the boxing great’s wife, Lonnie, is keeping him from even saying a proper goodbye.
“If I saw my father right now, I’d say I love you, I miss you, and I want you to see your grandkids,” says Muhammad Jr., who lives in a two-bedroom hovel he shares with his wife, Shaakira, and two children, Ameera, 6, and Shakera, 5.
“I wished before my dad got really sick, I could have had that father-son relationship, but that’s impossible now. I wish I could have made up for lost time. But it doesn’t break my heart anymore. It’s been broken so many times I’m used to it by now.”
Muhammad Jr. was born in 1972 in Philadelphia to Ali, then 30, and actress Belinda Boyd, who was 17. Muhammad Jr. can’t remember ever enjoying a family meal together. Mostly, his grandparents raised him, as his father was busy boxing and his mom was acting in films.
He grew up with three sisters — Maryum and twins Jamillah and Rasheda — but when they were infants, Ali began an affair with Veronica Porsche, who became his second wife in 1977.
The kids still saw their dad, and Junior fondly remembers those days as an extended family.
“My father used to do magic tricks. He’d have a handkerchief that he’d make into a cane; he’d then make it disappear. His card tricks were really good. He was such a comical person. My father liked to wear masks and scare people. He liked to have people on the edge of their seats.
“We used to go to Pennsylvania where he had a training camp, and he’d do tricks on stage. We all went. It was all the family, including my stepsisters Leila and Hana. We’d get on the Bluebird Winnebago bus and go up to see him,” Muhammad Jr. says.
“We stayed in log cabins, ride horses, watch him train, jump ropes and eat all the time as a family. He had a great cook.
“But I never went to any boxing matches apart from one when he fought Leon Spinks, and I just remember he kept on smiling even though he was getting hit a lot.
“He never wanted me to be a fighter. He said, ‘Don’t get into it if you don’t know what you’re doing, as it’s dangerous.’
“I used to see him all the time when I was a child. He made sure he was there, would get all the siblings together, and never kept us a secret from each other. I was proud of my daddy. Fame and fortune meant nothing, I just saw him as my daddy.”
But being Muhammad Ali Jr. had its pitfalls. Although his dad was conquering the world for a third time in 1978, his son was battling on the playground.
“You may think having Muhammad Ali as your dad is great, but I had problems. People wanted to pick fights. School was hell. They wanted to see if I was like my father. I’d get bullied all the time. Girls would only get with me because of my father, not because of me. Nothing was as it seemed. I didn’t know who really loved me. People just used me so they could get a glimpse of my dad. Some people didn’t like it that my dad was black or didn’t go to war. We had to fight all his battles.
“It meant my grandparents sheltered me a lot. Dad didn’t know, as he wasn’t around every day. I felt in some ways like I never had a childhood.
“I’d say my father was good and bad. The reason I say that is because my father never really spent time with me. Whenever we had time, he spent it with his daughters rather than me. Even in the only picture I have of all the family together, they’re all wrapped close, and I’m far out to the left. I felt like the outcast. I still do,” Muhammad Jr. sobs.
A gay artist from Russia has created a flipped image in response to the controversial photo of Garage Magazine’s white, female editor-in-chief sitting on a “black woman” chair.
The Russian editor-in-chief of Garage magazine, Dasha Zhukova, came under fire for an editorial photo showing her seated atop a chair designed to look like a black woman with a belt around her waist and thighs and her legs up in the air.
The photo, which offended many, began circulating on Monday, Jan. 20, which was Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Zhukova eventually apologized and called the decision to appear with such a racially insensitive piece of art “regrettable.” She also reasoned that designer Bjarne Melgaard’s actual intent was a “commentary on gender and racial politics.”
But, some did not find the apology sufficient.
