People are very quick to judge celebrities, particularly when you’re a pop star like Nicki Minaj or Yeezy. But Kanye can sit out on this one because Nicki is the one who is raising eyebrows for all the right reasons.

On Saturday night, a fan jokingly sent Nicki a tweet, asking the the rapper if she would send him a check to cover his college fees.

Nicki responded, “Show me straight A’s that I can verify w/ur school and I’ll pay it. Who wants to join THAT contest?!?! Dead serious. Shld I set it up?”

Nicki Minaj/Twitter

Thank you, Nicki Minaj, for giving me more hope in humanity. I can’t believe I just wrote that.

Nicki received a flood of Tweets and DMs as a result of her recent public generosity. Ms. Minaj responded to more than a dozen fans, requesting that they prove their case to this badass goddess, and if they pass, they get the cash!

If they got straights As and can prove it, you’re damn right Nicki shelled out the dough. Some people asked for thousands of dollars to cover student, while others asked for financial assistance to cover tuition fees, books, and additional school supplies.

Ms. Minaj sent out a direct message to her eager Twitter followers asking for assistance. She asked for their bank information. We can confirm that she has paid at least three people. One person received $500, while another person received $800.

Richard Field & Lina Bolanos: Must-See Photos Of Murder Victims

0

After a shootout with police in South Boston, authorities uncovered a disturbing double homicide. The bodies of Dr. Richard Field and his fiancée Dr. Lina Bolanos were found in the apartment of Bampumim Teixeira. They were bound by the wrist, with their throats slit. A letter of retribution was written on the wall.

Bampumim Teixeira was transferred to a local hospital immediately after the incident. He had been shot by police, but his injuries are not life-threatening. He is a former bank robber, now accused of double homicide.

Field and Bolanos were brutally murdered. Authorities are putting together the puzzle pieces on what exactly happened in the Macallen Building.

What Happened?

Police were responding to a tip about a man with a gun on 141 Dorchester Avenue in the Macallen Building. It was just after 8 P.M. on a Friday night. When police confronted Teixeria, he reportedly fired his gun at the officers. Teixeria was only able to let out one shot, according to police.

No officers were shot, but some went to the hospital to treat minor injuries. However, Bampumim was shot and was transported to a Boston area hospital to treat his injuries.

A SWAT team found two dead bodies inside Tiexeira’s apartment; a man and a woman. Both were found in the 11th floor condominium. Each victim lived in the building. Authorities believe that Tiexeria and the victims knew each other.

“This individual had just killed two people,” said Boston Police Commissioner William Evans. “He had nothing to lose.”

The victims have been identified as Dr. Richard Field, and his fiancée, Dr. Lina Bolanos. On Friday night, in an act of desperation and fear, Dr. Field sent a text message to a friend, pleading for help. Both victims were found with their throats slit. They were bound by the hands, and blood was on the walls. According to one official, the killer had written a letter of retribution on the walls.

Bampumin Teixeira’s former girlfriend describes him as a former security guard, who had just completed a nine month sentence for robbing two banks.


Where Did This Happen?

The shootout and arrest occurred on 141 Dorchester Avenue inside the Macallen Building. This all went down in South Boston, Massachusetts.

North Shore Pain Management, left, and Mass. Eye and Ear

The two victims are Dr. Richard Field and his fiancée, Dr. Lina Bolanos.

Richard Field was a doctor at North Shore Pain Management. He was certified in interventional pain management and anesthesiology. “Dr. Field was a guiding vision at North Shore Pain Management and was instrumental in the creation of this practice,” read a statement posted by his practice. “His tragic and sudden passing leaves an inescapable void in all of us.”

Field had also worked as an attending pain physician and director of anesthesia for plastic surgery at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He once served as an instructor at Harvard University. He had also completed a fellowship in pain management at Massachusetts General Hospital

Dr. Bolanos was employed as pediatric anesthesiologist at Massachusetts Eye and Ear and an anesthesia instructor at Harvard Medical School. “Dr. Bolanos was an outstanding pediatric anesthesiologist and a wonderful colleague, in the prime of both her career and life,” said John Fernandez, president & CEO of Mass Eye and Ear, in a statement. “We will do all we can to support their families and our staff members who are processing this senseless tragedy and grieving an enormous loss.”

Richard Field was 49-years-old at the time of his death. Lina Bolanos died at the age of 38.

‘Silicon Valley’ Stream: How To Watch Season 4, Episode 3 Online

0

Silicon Valley is back in familiar terrain after last week’s episode, as Dinesh had to hand over Piperchat to Hooli CEO Gavin Belson, leaving the boys back at square one. Thomas Middleditch’s character Richard Hendricks is still trying to find a way to create the “new internet” and it looks like he will have some help along the way. While the season looked like it would have two different story arcs, with Bachman, Dinesh, Big Head,  Gilfoyle, and Jared trying to make Piperchat successful and Hendricks creating the new internet, it seems they would rather have the whole team together than split them apart.

It will be interesting to see how this season goes, and I hope they don’t go into a repetition of each season to have the boys create something for Pied Piper, it has some success, it eventually fails, and then next season they start on a new aspect of Pied Piper. However, it will be interesting to see how successful this new internet that Richard is cooking up and how the tensions are going to rise in this season. Mike Judge seems to really keep the fire going with this show and the one thing it has not lost from last season is the comedy. The fandom of this show also does not look like it’s going anywhere soon and with good reviews coming from the first two episodes, it seems this series has not lost a beat at all. We still have seven episodes left in this season, so expect the hilarity to ensue as the boys try desperately try to find some success in Silicon Valley.

Donald Trump’s Fake News: Top 5 Untrue Stories Of The Week

You probably heard Donald Trump ranting about “fake news” or accusing specific mainstream media outlets as being full of baloney. Some may consider his blatant bad-mouthing of certain media powerhouses, such as CNN and The New York Times, as direct tell-tale signs of a brutal authoritarian. I probably shouldn’t touch this subject, but I’m a guy who believes “you can call me out on my bullsh*t and I’ll call you out for your bullsh*t, and we’ll all be the better off for it.”

All politics aside, there are stories out there that are complete bull-plop. Five false stories were widely shared on social media this week. Each story is completely ridiculous, unfounded, yet not so far fetched.

FALSE: Russia bans Jehovah’s Witnesses, so Trump prays with them in retaliation

Donald Trump Fake News: Top 5 Untrue Viral Stories Of The Week

Fact: In late April 2017, Russia’s Supreme Court banned the practices of Jehovah’s Witnesses, prohibiting the religion from operating anywhere in the world’s largest country. The Russian court cited this group as an extremist organization. The U.S. State Department condemned Russia for targeting this religious group. However, President Trump and VP Mike Pence did not respond to this court decision by praying with and consoling members of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Many of the articles that distribute this fiction include a photo of Trump and Pence attending a national prayer service the day after January’s inauguration. The fake news articles claim this photo was taken during a prayer service at the Kingdom Hall of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. WRONG!


FALSE: Boston Marathon Bomber Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev Severely Injured In Prison, May Never Walk Or Talk Again

Donald Trump Fake News: Top 5 Untrue Viral Stories Of The Week

Fact: Oh, boy, is this a load of bull-crap. A recent rumor about the Boston Marathon Bomber spread online, alleging that he suffered “massive brain trauma” in his Massachusetts’s prison cell. This social media fabrication also claims that the bomber was left in a pool of his own blood with a banana peel nearby. Prison officials said no evidence supports these claims. The story also recycled fabricated quotes from an Aryan Brotherhood member who claimed to have assaulted Tsarnaev, in a 2015 hoax article.

Sorry, folks! Tsarnaev is still in his Colorado prison, working on the appeal for his death sentence conviction stemming from the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings.


FALSE: Rock Star/Conservative Icon Ted Nugent Killed In Hunting Accident

Fact: On April 19th, Ted Nugent visited the White House with Sarah Palin and Kid Rock. Soon after, fabricated rumors surfaced online claiming that Nugent had died in a hunting accident. This fake news first appeared in TheLastLineOfDefense.org on April 28th. To that web site’s credit, they provide a disclaimer on each article, informing their audience that what we’re reading is “satirical.”

The same day that this false news story spread, Nugent went on Facebook Live and called this tale “a dirty lie” and said that his family was “quite distraught” over the hoax.


FALSE: Next Star Wars movie to be filmed near (insert city here), hundreds of extras needed

Fact: Falsified casting calls were published on multiple sites resembling local affiliate TV stations. Each fake casting ad was re-published, interchanging the names of cities across North America, including Wichita, Kansas; Virginia Beach, Virginia; and Barrie, Ontario. This big steaming pile of baloney said that a new Star Wars film is looking for a sh*t load of extras (not in those words exactly). The only Star Wars movie currently in production is a spinoff film about Han Solo, which began principal photograph in January near London.


FALSE: President Donald Trump signs a visa-free travel policy for (insert country here)

Win McNamee/Getty Images

Fact: A fake-ass story from usa-television.com and other sites claim that Trump signed executive orders giving visa waivers to citizens from several different countries, including Lithuania, Ethiopia, and the Philippines. These reports are almost identical in nature, except that each report may differ by name of country, and none are among the 38 countries on the State Department’s Visa Waiver program list. These reports have been denied by U.S. embassies in some of the countries that were named in the hoax.

Army Veteran Arrested For Murdering Her Dog Commits Suicide

North Carolina police are investigating the possible suicide of Army veteran Marinna Rollins who was charged with shooting her service dog last month. Fayetteville Police Lieutenant Todd Joyce said that investigators believe that 23-year-old Rollins killed herself.

North Carolina police are investigating the possible suicide of Army veteran Marinna Rollins, who was charged with shooting her service dog last month. Fayetteville Police Lieutenant Todd Joyce said that investigators believe that 23-year-old Rollins killed herself.

While Joyce declined to disclose what evidence detectives found, he did say that police were called to Rollins’ apartment around 3:00 A.M. on Sunday, May 7, after her body was found by friends who were having trouble contacting her.

Last month, Rollins and her boyfriend Jarren Heng, 25, were charged with cruelty to animals after investigators say they tied the dog to a tree and shot it multiple times with a rifle.

Cumberland County District Attorney Clark Reaves said the couple could be heard laughing on a video recording they made as the dog was killed. The video was later posted to Facebook.

Via WNCN:

The dog, named “Cumboui,” was shot with a rifle, court documents say. Rollins’ estranged husband, Matt Dyer, a Fort Bragg soldier, adopted the dog, then named “Huey,” before being deployed to Korea for a year.

Dyer says that, although he and Rollins were separated, she agreed to care for Huey during his deployment. Dyer told CBS North Carolina that during his deployment, Rollins got Huey certified as an emotional support dog.

Deputies also said there is video evidence in the dog shooting case the DA’s office said it will use. A close friend of Rollins’ uploaded video of the shooting to Facebook, saying they hoped it would get attention leading to punishment.

When confronted by Animal Control officers, the pair said that the dog cost $75 a week to feed and had some health issues.

Rollins’ suicide comes just nine days before the couple was scheduled to appear back in court. Furthermore, animals rights activists had scheduled a protest to be held outside the courthouse the day of the hearing, May 16.

University Of Mississippi Says 7000 Bodies Are Buried On Campus

University officials believe at least 7,000 bodies could be buried on the University of Mississippi Medical Center campus.

According to the University of Mississippi, the bodies are former patients of the state’s first mental institution. Furthermore, they say that underground radar revealed that coffins stretch 20 acres across campus where the school wants to develop.

However, Ole Miss school officials have run into an issue in exhuming the bodies as The Clarion-Call Ledger reported that it could cost $3,000 to exhume and rebury each body, an effort that could cost the university up to $21 million.

Via Clarion-Call Ledger:

Now UMMC is studying the cheaper alternative of handling those exhumations in-house, at a cost of $400,000 a year for at least eight years. It also would create a memorial that would preserve the remains with a visitors center and a lab that could be used to study the remains as well as the remnants of clothing and coffins.

Ralph Didlake, who oversees UMMC’s Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities, believes the lab would be the first of its kind in the nation — giving researchers insight into life in the asylum in the 1800s and early 1900s.

The asylum was constructed in 1855. The Clarion-Call Ledger reported that of the 1,376 patients who were admitted between 1855 and 1877, more than one in five patients died.

According to the report, the asylum eventually moved in 1935 to its current location of the State Hospital at Whitfield, Mississippi. Back in 2013, school officials discovered 66 coffins while starting constructing a road on the campus. By 2014, 1,000 more coffins were found when the school was constructing a parking garage.

Ole Miss school officials now believe there are apporixmately 7,000 coffins in the area.


How Many Years Should They Give This Dude Who RKO’d An Elderly Woman?

0

These are the articles I fear the most, because it’s articles like these where I’m most likely to say something wildly stupid out of anger and get myself into some serious trouble. So, with that said, give me a couple minutes to compose myself:

Shocking video uploaded to LiveLeak (because where else?) shows an elderly woman and her dog being straight assaulted by a group of 20-year-olds. No word on where the video was shot, although to me, I imagine this is what hell looks like.

The unidentified woman, who was walking her two dogs, appeared to ask the group to turn down their music. As she approaches the group, who are thought to be in their late teens or early 20s, a woman is heard in the background yelling, ‘Throw her in!’

Then, an unidentified man steps in front of her and picks her up as they both fall to the ground. While it’s unclear if the dude accidentally slipped and fell with the woman in his arms or if he intentionally slammed her down, the fact that he would grab an elderly stranger is enough to make me hope he’s buried under the jail.

After they fell, instead of profusely apologizing and turning down the music like a decent human being, the man gets up, grabs the woman by her shirt and her leg, and throws her into the pool.

It is unclear when and where the video takes place and if the woman sustained any injuries.

Don’t worry, though: If I know anything about the internet, this video will go viral QUICKLY and this scumbag will be served swift justice.

Colorado Cop Caught Reenacting Car Search For Body Camera

0

Seth Jensen

The District Attorney’s office of Pueblo, Colorado, dropped felony drug and weapons charges against Joseph Cajar after officer Seth Jensen admitted to staging body camera footage of a search of Cajar’s car.

What Happened?

In November 2016, Cajar’s car was pulled over and searched by Jensen. According to authorities, Jensen unearthed seven grams of heroin and a firearm in the vehicle. Cajar was arrested, charged and detained pending trial.

However, following a preliminary hearing in March, Jensen texted Pueblo’s deputy district attorney, Anne Mayer, admitted that the body camera footage submitted as evidence was fake, Gizmodo reported.

The Pueblo Chieftain obtained text messages that Mayer wrote. They included: “You’ll have to watch your body cam before the motions to make sure the report and the camera are the same.”

Jensen replied: “For the search, the body cam shows different than the report because it was. Prior to turning my body cam on I conducted the search. Once I found the s—, I stepped back, called, then activated my body cam and walked the courts through it.”

Mayer then answered: “What was in the report? If not you’ve got to write a supplement explaining that your body cam was off during the search and the body cam that does exist is a reenactment.”

Jensen admitted to conducting his search prior to turning on his body camera, and said that once weapons and drugs were found, he called over another officer and turned on his camera to reenact the search.

Cajar’s attorney wrote a letter to The Pueblo Chieftain, saying: “All indications in the discovery and during his testimony at the preliminary hearing indicated the body camera footage actually represented the sequence of events as they developed regarding the search.”

The attorney said that Jensen sounds “surprised” throughout the footage, which ARS Technica obtained, misleading the viewer to believe it was his initial search.

The case has now been dismissed and Jensen’s actions are under investigation to see if he violated policy.


Officer Seth Jensen

Officer Seth Jensen is a cop in Pueblo, Colorado, who pulled over Joseph Cajar last November. Cajar was unable to provide his registration or insurance for the car, resulting in the car being towed. When the vehicle was searched at the tow years, Jensen found nearly seven grams of heroin and a gun. Jensen’s body cam was not turned on, however, so he reenacted the search with the video recording.

The DA’s office was forced to drop the charges.

WATCH: Pittsburgh Police Officer Kick And Knee Man In Head During Arrest

Nathan Stanley III

Twitter/@MistakeMakerDJT

A video of Pittsburgh police officer Raymond Toomey kicking and kneeing a downed man, identified as Nathan Stanley III, in the head during an arrest early Sunday has surfaced. The video has prompted an investigation from the police department.

What Happened?

Witness Damian Trott captured the 10-second video around 2:00 A.M. Sunday outside a bar at 1500 E. Carson St. while celebrating his graduation from Youngstown State University with his girlfriend. The video shows two officers atop a man identified as Nathan Stanley III during a struggle, with one cop holding him down as the other knees Stanley in the head and then kicks him in the face.

“It was disturbing,” Trott, 24, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “They had him held down. The man was defenseless.”

Trott told WPXI that he did not know why Stanley was being arrested or what took place before he started filming. The officers were reportedly responding to the bar after bouncers said Stanley had a gun and threatened to “shoot y’all up,” according to a criminal complaint filed by police.

Officer Raymond Toomey said he found Stanley at the bar with a “strong odor” of alcohol and slurred speech. Toomey began to arrest Stanley when Stanley attempted to reach for his waistband with his right hand, causing the officer to believe he was going for a gun. Toomey said Stanley resisted arrest and tried to choke him as a second officer arrived. Toomey said he punched Stanley twice in the torso and twice in the face while trying to handcuff him. Once Stanley was on the ground, Toomey also admitted to kneeing and kicking him in the face, saying the suspect was “still attempting to reach for his waistband.

WPXI reports that the criminal complain does not indicate that a gun was found.

Stanley was ultimately handcuffed and charged with aggravated assault, public drunkenness and disorderly conduct. He was released after posting $10,000 bail and is set to appear in court on May 18.

“An investigation will be conducted into the incident,” Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Sonya Toler told WPXI. “Anyone who witnessed or has information about what occurred is encouraged to contact the city of Pittsburgh Office of Municipal Investigation.”

Trott said he posted the video so that police officers and citizens can build “a better relationship.”

“This is all about holding officers accountable for their actions the way they hold citizens accountable for theirs,” he said. “I want the video to be beneficial.”


Nathan Stanley III

Nathan Stanley III has been IDed as the man being kicked and kneed in the face by Pittsburgh police officer Raymond Toomey in a video posted to Twitter early Sunday. Bouncers at the bar Stanley was at claimed he had a gun and threatened to “shoot y’all up.”

According to reports, Nicassio broke up with her fiancé last week and began acting irrationally on Saturday, May 6, when her parents tried to put her in a car to take her to the hospital.

According to an affidavit by county Detective James Fitzgerald, Dr. Nicassio’s wife told police that their daughter had been through “a bad break-up,” and that the couple had been trying to persuade her to let them take her to a hospital.

The wife, Sandra Nicassio, told officers that when they tried to get their daughter into a vehicle, she grabbed a knife. When her father tried to take the knife, she stabbed him, Mrs. Nicassio said, according to the affidavit.

Christina Nicassio consented to an interview, according to the affidavit, and indicated that she broke up with her fiance a week earlier.

Twitter Bans Martin Shkreli For Life; Strike Major Blow Against Trolls

The world is in need of some good news. Health care is is being detonated (again), Wall Street’s restrictions are slipping (again) and the Cleveland Browns were praised for their strategy in the 2017 NFL Draft. Clearly, something is very, very wrong in the world. But that’s why this news is so delightful.

Twitter has permanently banned former pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli from the social media platform. Shkreli has been at the forefront of incidents such as jacking up the price for AIDS medicine and harassing journalists while being an all around pretentious D-bag. Finally, Twitter put an official end to his clownishness. The social media company has temporarily suspended Shkreli for harassing Teen Vogue‘s Lauren Duca, and now they’ve gone whole hog.

Shkreli, thinking he’s slick, attempted to direct followers to a new account @TrashyTheCat, but Twitter is no fool. They shut that s— down in a moment, so he tried again with a new account.

And again, Twitter was on him like white on rice.

On top of his Twitter shenanigans, Shkreli’s legal troubles are from over. He’s currently out on $5 million bail after being arrested in 2015 for securities fraud. His trial is scheduled to begin this June. What’s more, the ex-pharma bro apparently leaked early tracks from Lil Wayne’s upcoming Tha Carter V.

Shkreli first leaked a small morsel of the record back in December, but promised not to do so again following the threat of legal action. Clearly, he can’t get help but to be a major D-bag.

Thanks, Shkreli, for cheering us up today with your lifetime Twitter ban.

Chris Bosh Is Being Sued By Porn Tycoons Over Gross Condition Of His Los Angeles Mansion

When I woke up this morning, I certainly didn’t expect to write an article about Chris Bosh being sued by porn moguls. But that’s the beauty of the blog game, you never know what kind of absurd stories you’re going to run into next.

Colette and Brigham Field are the founders of porn company X-Art, which is obviously a name that I’ve never heard of before today. The smut tycoons rented a gigantic Los Angeles mansion owned by Bosh back in December of 2016 for the hefty price tag of $138,000. This large sum of money was to cover the security deposit and the first month’s rent for the property.

But unlike the Fields’ videos, this story would not have a happy ending. Via TMZ Sports, here are all of the details on the lawsuit.

Problem is … the Fields say shortly after moving in, they noticed crazy toxic mold, leaks, plumbing issues, rat droppings … and worst of all — the Internet access was horrible!!

The Fields say it was so bad they “had to seek medical assistance for sickness and rashes that they suffered from the time when the mold could be seen and smelled.”

In the lawsuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court and obtained by TMZ Sports, the Fields say they tried to get their security deposit back but the Boshes refused … and have since let other people stay in the home.

They’re demanding the $92k deposit back plus unspecified damages. We reached out to the Boshes for comment, but no word back.

Bosh has been renting out this property since October of 2015, so he might have gotten lazy with the upkeep over the years. Or maybe, he really is a Brazzers guy after all.


Chicago Gang Members Teamed With Police To Track Down Suspect Involved In Shooting Of Two Cops

The Chicago Police Department received help from an unlikely source in tracking down and apprehending Angel Gomez in connection to last week’s shooting of two on-duty officers. Members of a Chicago street gang teamed with authorities to help lead them to Gomez, 18.

What Happened?

Several members of the La Raza street gang provided information that helped police to identify a driver and a shooter who they said pulled up alongside two plainclothes officers last Tuesday and opened fire with a military-style rifle, hitting one officer in the arm and hip and the other in the back, according to the department.

Police arrested and charged Angel Gomez, 18, the suspected driver, with two counts of attempted murder, according to department officials.

Police said that the two male officers, who were driving a covert Chicago PD van in the city’s south side when they were attacked, were mistaken for rival gang members. No current evidence suggests that the suspects knew the victims were police officers.

“Everybody in the gang knew at that point that these gang members did not shoot rival gang members, they shot officers,” Chicago Police Commander Brendan Deenihan said referring to the La Raza members at a press conference on Sunday. “At that point, these individuals cooperated with us and we were able to identify the driver and the shooter.”

Gomez, who was out on a previous gun charge from January, confessed and was charged as an adult, Deenihan said.

Police are still searching for the suspected shooter, who was also identified by the street gang.

“We are still looking for the shooter at this time,” Deenihan said. “It’s a very active and ongoing investigation.

Deenihan did say that a police dog located the attack weapon, which was buried in a wooded area.

“The dog followed the scent and actually found this rifle buried,” Deenihan said. “This rifle was obviously buried and hidden because these guys wanted to come back and get it.”

A Chicago Police Department spokesperson posted images on Twitter of the suspected vehicle, a black mini van, with several bullet holes in it. The department revealed that the officers were wearing protective vests at the time of the attack and were able to return fire at the vehicle.

Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson acknowledged the city’s concerning gun violence on Sunday.

“We just have to absolutely do something about this gun violence,” Johnson said while speaking at Sunday’s press conference. “If these individuals, these maniacs, will shoot at the police officers like that, do you think that they really care about shooting at an average citizen in the city? The answer is no.”


Chicago Violence

Chicago saw more than 700 homicides in 2016, more than any other major U.S. city. In an effort to combat the rising violence, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has hired around 1,000 new employees in the police department.

In 2015, Chicago logged around 470 homicides.

The Man Narrating This Denny’s Fight Needs To Be Given An Emmy Or Something

You know what makes a good fight video, a great fight video? It isn’t camera work or high-impact knockouts. It isn’t a clear winner and a clear loser. No, what takes fight videos to the next level is… commentary. And this video has hilarious commentary in spades.

If the Dodgers haven’t found their replacement for Vin Scully yet, I think I may have found their man.

Now, you might find yourself feeling like the voice you hear in the video is a little familiar. And if you’ve been on Instagram in the last three months, I’m here to tell you that it is a familiar voice. It’s this f*cking guy:

How these two viral video stars just so happened to be at a Denny’s where a viral fight was breaking out is beyond me, but I’m going to take it easy on being too woke and just assume that it was a wonderful coincidence.

Penn State Frat Brother Says He Tried To Get Help For Timothy Piazza But Was Ignored

Kordel Davis was a former member of Penn State University’s Beta Theta Pi chapter. He was present at the frat house during the hazing rituals that took the life of 19-year-old pledge Timothy Piazza on February 3.

In an interview today with Good Morning America, Davis revealed that he tried to get help for Piazza, but he was ignored by his brothers. Despite Davis’ pleas and Piazza clearly needing medical treatment, the fraternity refused to take Piazza to the hospital.

Watch Davis’ heartbreaking interview with Robin Roberts in the video below.

“Preventable tragedy” is a spot-on phrase to describe the death of Piazza. It’s devastating to know that Piazza could still be here today if somebody looked out for him. Piazza’s passing shows how important it is to stand up for yourself if you know something is wrong.

Davis is not one of the 18 brothers who are facing charges for the death of Piazza.

Adam Devine hosted Sunday’s 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards, making now a perfect time to tell you about his gorgeous girlfriend Chloe Bridges. You may recognize Bridges from the popular show Pretty Little Liars, or from any number of Instagram posts featuring the couple who reportedly met in 2015.

Devine told People he does his best to keep Bridges happy:

I do my best to not get too deep in the doghouse. I’m still a child to where I think that, like, attacking her with smooches is the best way to do it. You know, I haven’t really done anything that’ll get me in trouble, so usually my aggressive smooch-attack will get me out of most trouble. So far so good.

In addition to playing Sydney Driscoll on PLL, Bridges has also appeared in movies such as 90210Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam and The Carrie Diaries. She’s set to have a role in the upcoming VH1 drama series Daytime Divas as well.

Bridges told Talk Nerdy With Us all about her guilty pleasures, saying:

I’m a nerd about the TV shows I watch, but probably the thing I am nerdiest about is Harry Potter. I’m trying to tone it down, because I’ve recently found that there are some generation gaps in certain things. Everyone my age, for sure, they’ll get my Harry Potter references. Sometimes I’ll be talking to people who are like ten years older than me and they won’t know what I’m talking about and I’m like, “Dang it! That was a great reference and you didn’t understand.” I’m trying to tone it down a little bit, but no, everything pretty much makes me think of Harry Potter.

Be sure to check out all of Bridge’s gorgeous photos above.
