Over the weekend, three people lost their lives in a mass shooting on South Claiborne, an incident in which seven other people were also injured. A New Orleans coroner has since identified the three victims of the shooting that were killed.

Kurshaw Jackson, 38

According to Fox 8 Live, Kurshaw Jackson was one of the victims who lost their life in the shooting. Jackson was 38 at the time of his death. Family members he is said to be survived by include a twin sibling, his daughter and his mother, the last of whom has asked the suspects connected to the shooting to turn themselves in.


Taiesha Watkins, 27

According to Fox 8 Live, Taiesha Watkins was one of the victims who lost their life in the shooting. Jackson was 27 at the time of her death. Watkins was visiting the city from Houston at the time of the shooting. She is reportedly survived by a five-year-old daughter.


Jeremiah Lee, 28

According to Fox 8 Live, Jeremiah Lee was one of the victims who lost their life in the shooting. Lee was 28 at the time of his death.


What do we know about the case so far?

The identities of the seven victims who were injured in the shooting have not been released at this time.

According to Fox 8 Live, the New Orleans Police Department has said that it is currently working with the Louisiana State Police, U.S. Attorney’s office, ATF and the FBI to identify the suspect, or possible suspects, behind the shooting. Crimestoppers, ATF, and the FBI are reportedly offering a reward worth $25,000 for information in the case.


Man Reaches Into Tank At San Antonio Aquarium & Steals Shark

The San Antonio Aquarium was the scene of a bizarre crime over the weekend. According to reports, a brave male thief reached into the tank and grabbed a gray horn shark from the exhibit. The shark was approximately two-feet long and the incident happened right in the middle of the day at around 2:15 p.m.

I can’t lie, that’s pretty impressive. Sure, this is no elaborate job and you certainly wouldn’t see the Ocean’s 11 crew plotting anything like it, but the amount of courage it takes to reach inside of an aquarium to pick up a shark can’t be understated. How did they get the shark out, though? Was it put in a onesie? These are the questions we need to be answered because walking around with a shark in a stroller can’t be normal unless San Antonio is more bizarre than we all imaged.

A female suspect is also wanted in connection to the shark heist, according to the local CBS affiliate KENS5.

From the Leon Valley Police Department:

“The Leon Valley Police Department Criminal Investigations Division has been in contact with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) investigators concerning the theft of this marine animal. We are looking to the public to help us solve this case as quickly as possible so that we can hopefully recover the shark alive and get it to professionals for proper care of an animal of this type.”

Leon Valley police released a photo of the suspects leaving the aquarium with the stroller in question.

Anyone with information about the suspects or the stolen shark — which authorities hope to find alive — is being urged to contact Sgt. Eddie Gonzales at 210-812-3347.

WATCH: Georgia Southern’s Victor Cabral, Chad Lunsford Wrestle For Charity

WTOC 11

Georgia Southern defensive line coach Victor Cabral is a huge fan of professional wrestling. Cabral is always talking about his love for professional wrestling on social media and over the weekend he got his opportunity to step into the ring to help out his players.

Cabral entered the ring with tag team partner “Big Country” Clay Teston at American Premier Wrestling’s fundraiser show on Saturday night to benefit Georgia Southern’s Athletes in Action.

Cabral wasted no time selling some impressive moves, showing that he has paid attention during his years of watching legends inside of the WWE ring. As you might expect, Cabral and “Big Country” came away with the win but it wasn’t without some help.

Midway through the match, head coach Chad Lunsford interfered to stop Cabral from being struck by a chair. That’s when he turned the chair on his opponent to deliver a big blow. After the chair attack, College Football Hall of Famer Adrian Peterson made an appearance and gave the three-count to give Cabral and “Big Country” the win.

Check it out:

— Frank Sulkowski WJCL (@TheBigGuyWJCL) July 29, 2018

“I think every child at one time or another dreams of being a professional wrestler, at least all the ones I grew up with,” Cabral said, via WTOC 11. “As you get older, some guys fall off the wagon. Other guys are on it. It’s part of our lexicon. It’s pop culture.”

Here is some more footage from the action:

Let’s hope Cabral can get the Georgia Southern defensive line to play with the same enthusiasm during the upcoming season.

Georgia Southern is set to kickoff its 2018 campaign on Saturday, Sept. 1 against South Carolina State. Kickoff is set for 6:00 p.m. ET on ESPN+. The Eagles are coming off of a disappointing 2-10 season that led to the firing of Tyson Summers after a 0-6 start. Lunsford took over as interim head coach and had the interim tag removed ahead of the upcoming year.

WATCH: Stephen Colbert Calls Out Boss Leslie Moonves Over Sexual Harassment Controversy

While Stephen Colbert usually uses his time on air to make the audience laugh and shed light on the recent events in the world, on Monday, July 30, he discussed a recent controversy that struck close to home for the CBS network and he did not hold back.

Colbert was behind his desk when he began calling out his boss at the network, Leslie Moonves, who has found himself surrounded by a sexual harassment controversy that was unearthed in a New Yorker article by Ronan Farrow, who also helped expose Harvey Weinstein when the “#MeToo” movement was first gaining momentum.

The late-night host first commented on the controversy from his monologue, before expanding on his comments and calling for accountability.

“It’s strange to have to say this but powerful men taking advantage of relatively powerless employees is wrong,” Colbert said. “We know its wrong now and we knew it was wrong then. How do we know? Because the men tried to keep the story from coming out then. I believe in accountability. Everybody believes in accountability until it’s their guy, and make no mistake: Les Moonves is my guy.

“Accountability is meaningless, unless it’s for everybody, whether its the leader of a network or the leader of the free world.”

You can watch Colbert’s comments below.

Moonves, who is the CEO of CBS and a CBS Corp. chairman since 2003, will remain in his role as the network investigates the sexual misconduct allegations, according to the company’s Board of Directors, who held a meeting on Monday.

A statement from the company read, “Its Board of Directors is in the process of selecting outside counsel to conduct an independent investigation. No other action was taken on this matter at today’s board meeting. Additionally, the Board determined to postpone CBS Corporation’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders that was previously scheduled to be held on August 10, 2018.”

Is Rich The Kid Dead? Cryptic Message Sends Fans Into Panic

Is Rich the Kid dead? That is a question anxious fans were left asking after a cryptic post surfaced online from the popular rapper’s social media accounts. The message read, “R.i.P Rich the Kid, 1992-2018” and was posted on his official Instagram account. Rich the Kid was born Dimitri Leslie Roger on July 13, 1992, so fans were hoping that it was not a heartbreaking announcement.

“Someone please tell me Rich The Kid isn’t dead and he just is trolling the internet rn,” one Twitter user wrote.

Another added, “If rich the kid is dead nobody talk to me for the next month tbh.”

But while there has been no confirmation about what was behind the cryptic message that left fans in a frenzy, an Instagram account that belongs to a person who describes himself as Rich the Kid’s manager said that the rapper is simply changing his name.

The message comes a couple of days after Rich the Kid blasted 300 Entertainment, his longtime label, in an Instagram video. Rich blasted the label and asked to be let out of his contract before urging other artists against signing with 300 Entertainment in the since-deleted clip.

“F*** 300 Ent., y’all suck,” Rich said. “Listen, y’all gotta let me out this damn contract. I don’t wanna be with y’all no f**king more. I told y’all, I’ll get y’all this money back. I don’t wanna be with y’all label no more. Y’all suck. Y’all is trash. Listen, young independent artists, do not sign with 300 Ent. They’re the worst label ever.”

WATCH: “VENOM”– Official Trailer 2 (VIDEO)

0
0

Sony

Tom Hardy seems to be going full Tom Hardy in this one.

The official synopsis for VENOM:

One of Marvel’s most enigmatic, complex and badass characters comes to the big screen, starring Academy Award® nominated actor Tom Hardy as the lethal protector Venom.

While Sony doesn’t necessarily have an excellent track record with comic book films outside Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2, the prospect of Tom Hardy playing the character of Eddie Brock/Venom alone has proved to be enough to pique (yes, that’s how it should be spelled) fan’s interest. And this latest trailer is yet another step in the right direction.

While I had very little hopes for this movie being a success, every passing trailer gives me a little more hope.

VENOM  is the first film in Sony’s Marvel Universe, which is entirely separate from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Similar to Universal’s failed “Dark Universe”, the success of VENOM  will likely determine whether or not Sony forges forward with that plan.

VENOM will be released in theaters on October 10, 2018.


Top 3 Must Have Fantasy Football Defenses For Your Team

0

The Jacksonville Jaguars proved how important defense can be in your fantasy football league last season. But someone is definitely going to overdraft them this year, so why not wait around and take one of these teams? They might not put up 15 points a week, but they definitely have that potential. Wait around, and pounce on one of these teams, because they’re bound to put up points this year.


Los Angeles Rams

They have the potential to be over drafted, but there’s one massive factor involved. Aaron Donald. If Aaron Donald ends his holdout and steps on the field, this already really good Rams defense becomes arguably the best in the league. They’re going to be incredibly valuable, as their defense will be among the league leaders in interceptions, and with Donald and Suh next to each other, will definitely be towards the top in sacks too. Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib will definitely go for at least five interceptions each, and keep an eye on 5thround rookie Ogbonnia Okoronkwo. He was a highly productive player in college at Oklahoma and could see some opportunities after Robert Quinn was traded in the offseason. If everything goes right for the Rams, they might be the best defense in the NFL by the end of the year.


Chicago Bears

Instagram Photo

The Bears already had an excellent defense in 2017, and then they added linebacker Roquan Smith with the eighth pick in the draft. With Leonard Floyd going into year three, after a huge leap forward in year two, he should make a name for himself around the league this year. Kyle Fuller is an emerging star in the secondary and Eddie Jackson proved he can be a playmaker at safety. Smith is going to be the biggest piece, while the Bears might not be tops in interceptions or sacks, they are great at holding teams to low yardage and point totals.


Tennessee Titans

Instagram Photo

After the signing of Malcolm Butler, and drafting Harold Landry and Rashaan Evans, the Titan defense is ready to take a huge leap forward in 2018. Landry can be a high impact player, who fell right into the Titans lap in the second round of the draft after his combine physical wasn’t where it should be. Jurrell Casey is an underrated, elite pass rusher in the NFL, and with Landry by his side, the two of them can make a huge impact. Adoree’ Jackson is an emerging star in the secondary and can learn a lot from new head coach Mike Vrabel. Kevin Byard was a first-team All-Pro selection last season, so the Titans have a defense that can truly create turnovers as well as sacks. They’re going to be a fast riser in 2018.


Uncanny Instances Where The Simpsons Predicted The Future

0
0

Giphy

For whatever reason, “The Simpsons” has a proven track record of accurately predicting the future unintentionally. Time after time, episodes air that make fun of a ridiculous event happening several years before it actually occurs. Many of the parallels seem a little far-fetched or too much of a stretch to be considered impressive, but lest that not detract from the real instances where the show has made some uncanny observations.


Defective Voting Machines

Episode: Treehouse Of Horrors #19

2008

In this episode, Homer goes to the polls to cast his vote in the 2008 presidential election. However, the voting machine appears to be defective as it keeps changing his vote from Barack Obama to John McCain. Four years later, the exact same thing happens in real life when Obama runs against Mitt Romney.


Smart Watches

Episode: Lisa’s Wedding

1995

Lisa’s Wedding, an episode where Lisa sees a fortune teller, made many correct predictions about the future. Part of the episode focuses on Lisa’s fiance, who is a savvy young man who happens to be equipped with a smartwatch. Of course, smartwatches have become some of the most popular modern-day gadgets.


Baby Translator

Episode: Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes?

1992

Homer’s half-brother Herb comes and stays with the Simpsons to get back on his feet in this episode. While he’s a guest, he develops a cry translator that he believes will make him rich. In 2016, an actual company developed an app that can tell what your baby’s cries mean with up to 95% accuracy.


Tiger Attack

Episode: Springfield

1993

Tiger performers clearly meant to resemble the legendary magic act Sigfried and Roy are mauled on stage by a tiger. Ten years later, Montecor the Tiger drags Roy off stage by his neck.


Facetime

Episode: Lisa’s Wedding

1995

Again, in “Lisa’s Wedding”, the Simpsons video call Marge from the future, using a device that unmistakably resembles a cell phone with facetime capabilities.

 


Rolling Stones Tour

Episode: Lisa’s Wedding

1995

In the same episode as before, Lisa can be seen with her futuristic boyfriend as well as a poster that reads “The Rolling Stones Steel Wheelchair Tour 2010”. While The Stones didn’t reunite in 2010, they did have a reunion tour in 2012, well within the window of time to make this prediction valid.


FIFA Scandal

Episode: You Don’t Have To Live Like A Referee

2014

One year before FIFA was exposed for its many corruption scandals, The Simpsons were making fun of what was to come. Homer becomes a referee in the World Cup and is offered multiple bribes from players to fix games, but refuses again and again. Essentially, The Simpsons shed some light on the huge amount of palm greasing that happens in soccer before it was cool.


Ferret Poodles

Episode:  Papa’s Got A Brand New Badge

2002

After becoming dissatisfied with Springfield’s police department, Homer creates his own private security company. On one of his most ridiculous investigations, he uncovers the Mob boss’ plot to glue cotton balls onto ferrets to make them resemble poodles. Obviously, it sounds completely unbelievable, but a little while later that exact scandal really happened.


Average Joe Sent To Space

Episode: Deep Space Homer

1994

Homer is selected to take place in a civilian space exploration program. He is selected because he fits the description of an “average joe,” which is exactly what the contest runners want. Critics initially disliked this plot line because they thought it was too unrealistic, but then, Oliver Knight and several other men described as “average joes” were selected for that very endeavor.

I'm through to the next round! Over 87,000 people down to 250 & now just 24 left @lynxeffect #LSALive… Wish me luck! pic.twitter.com/riAflBDTel

— Oliver Knight (@fakie540ollie) July 16, 2013


NSA Is Spying On Us All

The Simpsons Movie

2007

In perhaps the most important prediction yet, The Simpsons joked about the government spying on all Americans and listening in on their conversations. It seemed funny at the time, but in 2013, Edward Snowden famously revealed the ugly truth.


Stealing Lard

Episode: Lard Of The Dance

1998

Homer discovers that all the leftover grease from Springfield Elementary is actually worth some money, and decides to steal it to turn a profit. Groundskeeper Willie has the same idea, and they fight over who gets the grease in an epic brawl. Interestingly enough, an actual man does the same thing.


Snake Killings

Episode:  Whacking Day

1993

Whacking Day in Springfield is a beloved holiday where snakes are clubbed to death by all the residents – and a contest is held to see who can club the most snakes. It’s believable enough, but it’s still pretty ridiculous and unlikely in the real world. Until, in 2013, The Florida Fish And Wildlife Conservation Commission decided to host the Python Challenge, where residents were encouraged to “harvest” as many snakes as they can in exchange for prizes.


Three-Eyed Fish

Episode: Homer’s Odyssey

1990

Blinky is a recurring character that is just a 3-eyed fish mutated by the Springfield Nuclear Power plant. He’s fairly cartoonish, but in 2011, Blinky came to life.


9/11 ??!!

Episode: The City Of New York vs Homer Simpson

1997

To say that The Simpsons predicted 9/11 implies terrorist collusion, so that might not be exactly fair. But, The Simpsons writers’ 6th sense might have shown through in this eerie episode. In the scene below, Lisa is holding up a magazine that costs $9 right next to the twin towers. Together, a picture of 9/11 is painted. While the writers obviously deny any involvement in terrorist activity, they do admit the scene is creepy.

 


President TRUMP??!

Episode: Bart To The Future

2000

While there is a lot of misinformation regarding this prediction due to a more recent mockery of Trump’s election, The Simpsons do deserve some credit for this one nonetheless. In a glimpse into the future, Lisa becomes president and makes some uncanny statements. In the scene captured below, Lisa concedes a press conference and meets with her team where she asserts that

“As you know, we’ve inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump”

She is, of course, referring to her predecessor who left the country broke. While many Simpsons’ conspiracy theorists will back up their claims with Simpsons’ Trump footage from after he already began his claim, this is the only real piece of evidence suggesting the Simpsons may have known something before everyone else.

 


Disney Takes Over 20th-Century Fox

Episode: When You Dish Upon A Star

1998

Finally, in 1998, The Simpsons casually predicted the acquisition of FOX by Disney with this subtle clip. And just recently, shareholders approved the purchase for 71.3 Billion Dollars.


First Sentencing In Hazing Death Of Penn State Fraternity Pledge To Be Handed Down today

Ryan Burke, the first member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity at Penn State, to plead guilty in connection with the death of Timothy Piazza, will be sentenced on Tuesday, July 31.

Burke, 21, pleaded guilty last month to four counts of hazing and five counts related to unlawful acts involving liquor. The Scranton resident is just one of more than 20 members of the now-closed fraternity to face criminal charges over the February 2017 death of Timothy Piazza

Piazza passed away on February 4, 2017, after suffering a fractured skull and severe abdominal injuries from a fall during pledge night activities at the Beta Theta Pi house at Penn State. During the night, Piazza’s blood-alcohol level went “from a zero to as high as a .36”

Last November, Burke was originally charged with involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, simple assault and reckless endangerment, however, the attorney general’s office dropped the most serious charges in April.

via NBC:

Court documents say Burke was an active participant in the bid acceptance night events at the fraternity, including providing alcohol to Piazza and others who had just signed up as pledges. Burke was the rush chairman and in charge of recruiting new members. A prosecution sentencing memo filed last week said Burke lined up the pledges single-file and marched them into the basement, “where the alcohol-fueled hazing would ensue.”

The memo says Burke walked around the basement with a bottle of vodka for the pledges in one hand, supplying Piazza and three others with vodka over a 10-minute period. The hazing counts and four of the five alcohol violations relate to those events. Burke also pleaded guilty to underage drinking.

After Piazza fell down the basement stairs and had to be carried to a first-floor sofa, Burke “appeared unconcerned,” prosecutors wrote.

“He is seen playfully hoisting a girl over his shoulders, jumping on the sofa next to Piazza, and then rolling over and on top of Piazza as he is getting up before leaving the room. He leaves Piazza to be dealt with by others,” according to the sentencing memo.

Piazza’s death spurred a cascade of changes in the Penn State Greek life community and across the country. The school levied hard sanctions against greek life focused on hazing. These changes altered the rules for how fraternities and sororities can recruit members and host social events with alcohol. Beta Theta Pi was also permanently banned from Penn State.

Ever Wondered Why We Haven’t Gotten A Third ‘National Treasure’? Here’s Why

0

National Treasure is what we in the biz call a (modern) “cult classic” — but what is a cult classic, exactly?

A cult classic is a movie that has a “dedicated, passionate fanbase, an elaborate subculture that engages in repeated viewings, quoting dialogue, and audience participation.” Cult classics don’t necessarily have to be well-known, successful, or even objectively “good” films — they just need to be loved. And, boy, National Treasure is loved.

Partly because of its preposterous premise but mainly because of Nicolas Cage, National Treasure strikes a chord with millennials the way “Africa” by Toto does: it is a piece of pop culture that has transformed into a living meme. However, while the internet and meme culture was powerful enough to convince Weezer to cover “Africa”, will they be able to convince Disney to make a new National Treasure?

While speaking with Collider, director Jon Turtletaub dished on why Mickey Mouse hasn’t greenlit a third National Treasure movie and why it’s unlikely that they will anytime soon:

“When National Treasure first got made, there was a lot more money to go around. Everybody got paid nicely. The problem with getting the third one made isn’t the people who are getting paid saying, ‘I’m not doing it unless you pay me a lot!’ It’s really that Disney feels they have other films they want to make that they think will make them more money. I think they’re wrong. I think they’re right about the movies they’re making; they’re obviously doing a really good job at making great films. I just think this would be one of them, and they don’t quite realize how much the Internet is begging for a third National Treasure.”

And while you’re here, I’d be remiss not to include one of my favorite YouTube videos ever, four-straight minutes of Nicolas Cage losing his shit:

Conor McGregor vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov Date: ‘It’s Close’

It appears all but certain that Conor McGregor vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov is going to happen when “The Notorious” officially returns to action. The former two-division UFC champion has been out of action after taking a hiatus to box Floyd Mayweather and then dealing with some legal issues, but with those behind him he is ready to get back in the cage.

When he does, UFC president Dana White said current lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is the most likely opponent.

“I think Khabib is a massive fight with Conor,” White said following UFC 225. “I think that’s the fight to happen right now. Listen, if Georges St-Pierre wants to move to 155, prove he can make it and fight the No. 1 contender down there. Then absolutely I’d do it.”

McGregor seemed to echo that point when speaking to TMZ recently and hinted that the fight could be right around the corner. According to McGregor, the two sides are finalizing a deal.

“Yes, very close,” McGregor said. “It’s not official, but very close.” He added that the fight could take place by the end of the year, “I believe so, I hope so.”

As for where the fight will take place, Madison Square Garden is an intriguing option but the Irishman believes it will be held in Las Vegas.

To close out the year, the UFC will be holding pay-per-view events in Vegas on Oct. 6 (UFC 229) and Dec. 29 (UFC 232). If the promotion wants to end the year on a high note and build momentum for 2019 when their new television deal with ESPN kicks in, UFC 232 would be the best option. McGregor last fought in November 2016 when he knocked out Eddie Alvarez to win the UFC lightweight championship.

The Best Jokes From The Comedy Central Roast Of Bruce Willis

Another year, another roast, another Jeff Ross costume. Comedy Central’s “Roast of Bruce Willis” filmed on July 14 and premiered on July 29. This year provided us with the expected levels of savagery and reminders of bizarre celebrity incidents that no one has talked about since the ’90s. In case you missed it, here were some of the best lines from everyone on the dais.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

JGL isn’t the best roaster, but as a host he had about the same influence on the room as a warm glass of milk, and it oddly worked for him. That being said, he was able to deliver some funny quips when he wasn’t busy balancing the pH levels on stage:

  • “Dennis may be the only person on the planet who is able to prevent a nuclear war, so I guess this is goodbye.”
  • “Bruce Willis is what you get when you isolate the white part of Dwayne The Rock Johnson.”
  • (To Bruce Willis): “We want you to have a good time tonight, but don’t get too comfortable up here because later we’re going to be replacing you with Ashton Kutcher.” After some hootin’ and hollerin’ from the audience, he continued, “relax, relax. Bruce gets along with him fine, he was even at Ashton and Demi’s wedding. His gift was a toaster and $90 million.”
  • “They call [Dennis Rodman] the worm because he’s always on the sidewalk after it rains.”

Nikki Glaser

  • (To Martha): “Seriously, congratulations on getting that Thai soccer team out of your vagina…and into your sweatshops.”
  • (To Joseph Gordon Levitt): “I bet you eat pussy, but only with the crust cut off first.”
  • “Ed looks to me like if a marionette became a boy and that boy became an asshole.”

Kevin Pollack

  • The highlight of Pollack’s time was definitely his spot-on Christopher Walken impression, which turned into a bit about the Bruce Willis-backed restaurant franchise Planet Hollywood. “Walken” expressed his gratitude to Willis for being crucial in the establishment of his favorite restaurant (and planet); “Thank you, Bruce Willis, for having the vision and the courage to ask ‘hey! Who wouldn’t want to eat $40 potato skins in a booth next to the hat from Billy Bathgate?”

Cybill Shepherd

  • “Lil Rel, I’m glad you’re here because I’ve been meaning to apologize for calling the police about your barbeque.”
  • “I had the honor of playing Martha in two separate movies. I did my best, but the only one to truly capture Martha Stewart was the FBI.”

Lil Rel Howery

Lil Rel came up with a crumbled up piece of paper looking like he forgot to memorize his ninth-grade Spanish presentation, and it showed. Still, he was able to work in a few good lines.

  • (To Willis and Ross): “Y’all two bald white motherfuc*ers look crazy as fu*k. Both of look like your on two different stages of cancer.”

Edward Norton

Ed dominated this roast. Everything that came out of his mouth was a highlight. It was obvious early in that Norton and Willis are real friends who love each other, not just showbiz associates, but Norton still thinks he’s an off-his-rocker diva. Here are just a few of the memorable things Ed had to say about his bald-headed buddy:

  • “Can I say things like, ‘The #MeToo movement is ruining natural sexual dynamics,’ while I’m wearing a Make America Great Again hat and then go blow up a helicopter of Mexican extras dressed up as Middle Eastern terrorists, call that a twofer, and still have a bunch of liberal Hollywood agents call my agent the next morning and say they want to be in the Edward Norton business? I most definitely cannot.”
  • Norton told the audience that Bruce opted out of living in a van with the cast of Moonrise Kingdom (Bill Murray and all) during production to rent out the Carnegie mansion. “When Wes said, ‘do you think Bruce understands that I really want this to be like repertory theater group?’ I said,  ‘shut the fu*k up you long-haired pussy, that’s a fu*king movie star!'”  
  • “You have a perfect dick head.”
  • Just when we thought that Norton was closing on a sentimental note, he spun it last minute and said, “I love you, or maybe I’m a very good actor and I’m just acting when I say that. You wouldn’t know the difference, and that’s the reason I love you.”

Martha Stewart

  • “If you had told me back in the ’90s that Dennis Rodman would be negotiating a nuclear arms agreement in 2018, I would have said, ‘Dennis Rodman is alive in 2018?’”
  • “Dom, I know your career never really took off, but if you just keep doing what you’ve been doing, I’m sure you’ll eventually be discovered…by your landlord two weeks after your heart attack.”
  • “Nikki Glaser, you have it all – the name of a professional porn star and the body of an amateur porn star. You know I’m a big supporter of the Me Too Movement. But remember, Nikki, “me too” shouldn’t just be what a guy says to his friend when he tells him he had sex with Nikki Glaser.”

Dom Irrera

  • Dom Irrera had great timing and made some hilariously accurate ad-libs about Edward Norton: “I’ve never seen anybody roast somebody else and talk about themselves with that kind of sincerity. What an arrogant motherfuc*er he is, Jesus Christ. I’d like to beat the fu*k out of him. This skinny little prick, I met him in the hall and he fu*kin’ blew me off. I never liked your work, I never liked you, and I gotta tell you, it’s an honor to meet you.” He later added, “he dated Courtney Love, but he never became famous enough to have him murdered.”
  • “Jeff just bought a new house and staffed it with three personal chefs. The first two died of exhaustion.”

Dennis Rodman

Everything about this was surreal, and that’s only what wasn’t edited out. The consensus is that Rodman bombed, but he still got out some bizarre zingers.

  • “If one more person calls Joseph a pu*sy again, I’m going to lick him for 20 minutes.” (Hopefully, this is also his reaction to criticism for a certain asshole-less dictator. Kimmy’s skin does always suspiciously silky smooth.)
  • “Cybill Shepherd, it sounds like a disease that you get when you’re fu*king a sheep.”

Demi Moore

Willis’s ex-wife came out as a surprise guest, and her refreshingly playful demeanor kept the room fun and her daughters hysterically laughing at their table. Unsurprisingly, all the time she spent with Bruce over the last few decades provided her with plenty of material.

  • “Every Christmas, right after he would have the girls go make him his special coffee with ‘medicine,’ I mean, he would come down the chimney in the wife-beater T-shirt, waving that gun saying ‘Yippee-ki-yay, motherfu*kers!'”
  • “Scout wouldn’t say anything, but just last week he offered her $1,000 to change his diaper”
  • “He got his career-breaking moment in Pulp Fiction. It seemed really odd at the time, I mean he’s a big action star doing a little indie film, but Bruce went over to Harvey Weinstein’s hotel, and I don’t know. He came back swinging that ball gag, and, man, he said, ‘I got the part!” 
  • “I just looked at our marriage like The Sixth Sense, you were dead the whole time!” 

Jeff Ross

The roastmaster himself is at it again with more golden one-liners than we can list.

  • “Bruce, we all wish you luck with your lawsuit against the Blue Man Group.”
  • “I met Rumer, your daughter. I guess that’s the name your mom gives you when she’s not 100 percent sure who your father is.”
  • “I’d make fun of you for your political aspirations, but the last time I did that the fu*ker actually became president.”
  • “All night people are saying I look like [Bruce], but Cybill Shepherd looks like Bruce Jenner Willis. And Lil Rel looks like Bruce What You Talkin’ Bout Willis.”
  • “How the fu*k are you a movie star? You look like a bouncer at a nursing home!”
  • “Bruce Willis wants an Oscar so bad he’s slowly turning into one.”
  • “Bruce Willis looks like Elmer Fudd if he hunted shitty scripts instead of wascally wabbits,”
  • “Joseph starred in 3rd Rock from the Sun and Dennis Rodman smoked three rocks in front of his son.” 
  • “You think Kim Jong-Un is a nice guy, and he thinks you’re Scottie Pippen.”
  • “My pal Lil Rel is here. So happy for you buddy, so happy. Congrats on all your success and your newest film Angry Birds 2. Good to see you’re not selling out. What do you play, Jim Crow?” 
  • Ross closed with, “I can’t wait to see your next project, Die Hard 6: Natural Causes.”  

Bruce Willis

  • “[Ed Norton has] rubbed more people the wrong way than Harvey Weinstein.”
  • “An Italian job is also when you titty fu*k Don Irrera.”
  • “[Kevin Pollack] made more money doing Arnold Schwarzenegger than his maid.”
  • The legend delivered a perfect line to close off the evening: “I did this roast for one reason and for one reason only — to settle something once and for all. Now, please, listen very carefully. Die Hard is not a Christmas movie, it’s a Bruce Willis movie. So yippie-ki-yay to all of you motherfu*kers.” 

An Internet Icon Has Fallen On (Self-Inflicted) Hard Times

This — this right here — is why the internet exists. Not for free information, not for social media, not for connecting with other people across the globe, not even for porn — but for memes. And more specifically, for the rise and fall of memes.

Meet “Lucky Luciano”, a seemingly regular, albeit douchy, college-aged kid who went viral for the following photo:

Why did it go viral? I haven’t the slightest clue. The internet is an unpredictable wasteland with no rhyme or reason so don’t even bother searching for an explanation (unless you want to delve into this website that actually explains the history of memes). All you need to know is that the kid from these memes:

has gotten himself into just a bittttt of trouble:

FREE MY IDOL pic.twitter.com/gCjyqUpY2v

— ….. @ TMLSS (@Anti) July 30, 2018

But for what, you ask? Well, a laundry list of drug charges. Lucky Luciano, whose last name appears to be Wolfe, has been charged with Possession of Cocaine, Possession of Cannabis with Intent to Sell, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and an additional license plate-related offense.

 

Waittttt, you’re telling me that a white college kid with the Macklemore haircut got caught with weed and cocaine? No kidding?

The kid — who swears this is just some “BS” — even launched a GoFundMe.

via GoFundMe:

I recently got arrested over BS. I was followed, stalked and detained unlawfully by officers who found trying to ruin my life. They found this funny, amusing and tormented me the entire time. I sat in jail and was given no bond, my charges were upped dishonestly, and slapped with a bunch of costs. I am making this GoFundMe for the sole purpose of legal costs, court fees, bail money, most importantly trying to hire a lawyer and suing the officers for the unfairness and horrible behavior that was displayed against me. Anything helps and you are very much appreciated. Thank you all!

At the very least, you gotta respect Lucky Luciano’s commitment to douchebaggery. It’s his brand now, may as well run with it.


It’s Probably Time To Cancel Your MoviePass Subscription

In a struggle for survival, MoviePass will be hiking up monthly rates from $10 to $14.95 and will be further limiting access to blockbusters. The changes will come into force within 30 days.

MoviePass stirred up excitement amongst movie lovers by offering up an unparalleled deal: a movie a day for just $10 a month. Especially for broke college students without the funds to watch new releases in theaters, this offer was too good to pass up – or question the sustainability of, for that matter.

But alas, all that glitters is not gold. On the morning of July 31, MoviePass announced that the service will now cost $14.95 a month and some hit flicks will be “limited in their availability” to MoviePass users during the first two weeks of their release. The exact nature of these limitations is unclear.

For some customers, this news comes as no surprise. Users have reported that some pictures, such as Mission: Impossible — Fallout, have been unavailable through the service. Theater blackouts and surge pricing have also ruffled the feathers of subscribers.

via Time:

To stem the cash drain, MoviePass has imposed surge pricing. Some film fans posted photos of themselves in near-empty theaters after having paid the levy. Even midday, weekday screenings of pictures that have been in theaters for weeks have been subject to price hikes of as much as $6. Last week, older movies like “Skyscraper” were subject to fees at non-peak hours.

In response to a customer query via its Twitter feed, Moviepass said that as the surcharge “is calculated by the demand of the film holistically, some theaters may be fuller than others.”

Helios and Matheson, MoviePass’s parent company, hoped that major studios and theaters would sign on to share the financial burden of their outlandish promise, but no such deals have come to fruition.

According to regulatory filings, the company has been spending $20 million to $40 million every month on their three million subscribers. On July 27, the company borrowed a whopping $5 million in cash to purchase movie tickets, which they have been paying for at full price. By July 29, company stock fell below $1-per share.

If you have a MoviePass subscription, this is the time to decide if you want to pull out now or sink with the ship.

Top 5 Unforgettable College Football Games Of All Time

Unforgettable College Football Games

College Football has been around since 1869 when Rutgers and Princeton played the first official game in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Rutgers won the game 6-4 and since then, they haven’t won much. Back to the main point now. College Football has given fans over the years a number of games that they will never forget. Some of these games even bring experiences and memories that people share with their kids and grandkids years down the road. That’s the beauty of the sport. With that being said, let’s take a look at five of the most memorable College Football games in history.

5. Penn State 14 Miami 10 (1987)

I was born 12 years, five months, and eight days later, but this is still one of my favorite games to re-watch. NBC moved the game to January 2nd in a primetime slot and the hype surrounding the game was unlike anything people had ever seen before. The Hurricanes entered the game as the clear-cut number one team annihilating every team in their path. Penn State won games with its stout defense and its hard-hitting linebackers and defensive backs.

The Hurricanes stepped off the plane in Tempe, Arizona wearing army fatigues because “they were going to war.” Well, we saw how that went. The electricity in the stadium that night could be felt all around the country. Miami wide receiver Michael Irvin had shot his mouth off to Penn State linebacker Shan Conlan saying that their defensive backs weren’t very big. Conlan simply replied: “You haven’t been hit by them yet.”

I’m just going to keep this as simple as possible. This game turned College Football upside down twice and shook it like an absolute rag doll. Everything you could have imagined happening happened and my god it was absolutely beautiful in every single way, shape, and form.

Once the game started, it seemed as if Miami would rip Penn State’s heads off. The Lions had an answer for the Canes. Heisman Trophy winner Vinny Testaverde was the Miami ringleader and the Penn State defense threw as many things at Testaverde as they could. The Lions’ defense threw about 150 different looks at Testaverde throughout the game and he had no idea how to react.

Penn State safety Ray Isom laid the lumber on Michael Irvin on a pass over the middle causing Irvin to fumble the ball. That’s when the Lions sent the message that they were there to play and they were not backing down. Testaverde was frustrated the entire night and his fourth interception led to a touchdown drive that gave Penn State a 14-10 lead.

Miami had one final chance to take the lead but the Penn State’s Pete Giftopolous picked off Testaverde one more time at the goal line with nine seconds left to preserve the win for the Nittany Lions. The Hurricanes were clearly the better team on paper but they underestimated the toughness and stubborn behavior of the Nittany Lions. For the Glory of Old State!


4. Auburn 34 Alabama 28 (2013)

This game was absolutely fantastic and the play simply known as “kick six” was etched into College Football lore forever. The SEC West title was on the line and Alabama was looking for its third straight national title. Auburn was 3-9 the season before and they were looking to prove that the 2012 season was just a fluke. Auburn needed a win against Alabama and in the conference title game alongside an Ohio State loss in the Big Ten Championship to play for the National Championship. Well, everything fell into place.

Auburn tied the game at 28 with 39 seconds left after Nick Marshall threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Sammie Coates. The next Alabama possession, T.J. Yeldon broke free on a 24-yard run and was knocked out of bounds. Time had supposedly expired but replay showed that there was one second left. Nick Saban sent his freshman kicker, Adam Griffith, on the field to try a 57-yard field goal.

Chris Davis was planted under the goalpost in case of the kick falling short. In that case, he could return. Griffith got a solid boot into the ball but it fell short and to the right. Davis fielded the kick and sprinted out of the end zone. He had a convoy of blockers down the sideline and darted back to the middle of the field. It had seemed as if Davis was untouched. 109 yards later, Auburn had won the game on one of the most dramatic plays in College Football history. Auburn won, and Alabama’s title hopes were gone.


3. Boise State 43 Oklahoma 42 OT (2007)

Number 68’s facial expression says it all. This was the textbook definition of David v. Goliath. Oklahoma was led by Adrian Peterson and they were expected to absolutely beat the brakes off of a Boise State team that came from the WAC. Boise showed that they were for real after building a 28-10 lead but that 18 point advantage evaporated rather quickly. Adrian Peterson took over from that point on and the game was later tied at 28.

Boise State quarterback Jared Zabransky was intercepted by Marcus Walker with 1:02 and Walker returned that interception for a touchdown to give the Sooners a 35-28 lead. People thought the game was over. It wasn’t even remotely close to being over. On fourth down and eighteen, the Broncos successfully completed the hook-and-ladder trick play and the end was result was a touchdown with seven seconds remaining. The game was tied at 35 and overtime was next.

In overtime, Oklahoma made quick work of Boise’s defense and took a 42-35 lead on yet another Adrian Peterson run. The Broncos got the ball back and were faced with yet another do or die fourth down and two from the six. Zabaransk rolled out into the slot and Vinny Perretta lined up as the quarterback. Perretta took the snap, rolled to his right, and found Derek Schouman in the end zone for the touchdown. Boise had enough and decided to go for two and the win.

Zabransky took the snap, faked a throw to the right, and handed the ball off to Ian Johnson behind his back in a play known as the Statue of Liberty. Johnson had a convoy of blockers to his left and he raced to the end zone to give Boise State its biggest win in school history and easily one of the most dramatic bowl endings in the 2000’s era.


2. Miami 31 Nebraska 30 (1984)

Instagram Photo

In 1982, Nebraska won the Orange Bowl but a 27-24 loss to eventual national champion Penn State destroyed their chances of making the title game. The Cornhuskers destroyed every team in their path in 1983 and were poised to win. In a return trip to the Orange Bowl, Nebraska faced the Miami Hurricanes. The Hurricanes were ranked fifth and had other ideas for the game.

Heisman Trophy winner Mike Rozier was expected to run all over all Miami’s defense but he was kept in check. Miami raced out to a 17-0 lead and it had seemed as if the game was decided. Nebraska came roaring back and they pulled the game to within one with 48 seconds left after Jeff Smith took an option pitch from quarterback Turner Gill and raced to the end zone on fourth down.

Miami led 31-30 and Nebraska coach Tom Osbourne was throwing all of his chips into the center of the table. He didn’t want to settle for a tie and he wanted to win that National Championship more than anything. Turner Gill took the snap, rolled to his right and looked for Jeff Smith. Miami defensive back Kenny Calhoun got his hand on the ball and knocked it away. Miami ended up hanging on to its 31-30 lead and won the game.

With No. 2 Texas losing the Cotton Bowl, No.3 Auburn barely escaping the Sugar bowl, and No. 4 Illinois getting clobbered in the Rose Bowl, the No.5 Hurricanes were named the National Champions and the rest of the 1980’s were dominated by the Canes. Osbourne had to wait another 11 years for his first national title and he got it after beating Miami in the 1995 Orange Bowl. Imagine a Penn State and Nebraska national title during the 1994 season. I’d put my money on Penn State in that game and it wouldn’t even be close.


1. Texas 41 USC 38 (2006)

Instagram Photo

If you don’t think that this game is number one, you’re wrong. Two giants on College Football’s biggest stage in the “Grand Daddy of Them All.”  USC and Texas were No. 1 and No. 2 respectively and there was star-power on each side. USC was led by Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, LenDale White, and Dwayne Jarrett. Texas was led quarterback Vince Young, Jamaal Charles, Billy Pittman, and Limas Sweed.

This game also had a much bigger purpose for broadcaster Keith Jackson. It was his final game in the booth and his voice has been linked to the glory days of College Football. When you hear his voice, you know it’s football season and it just gets you in the mood at any time.

USC was the clear favorite in the game and they were riding a 34 game winning streak. Even though Texas was extremely talented, the Trojans were expected to come out on top when the night was finished. The Trojans led 16-10 at the half and extended their lead to 38-26 in the fourth quarter. 38-26 then became 38-33. USC had a chance to run out the clock but LenDale White was stopped on a fourth and two turning the ball back over to the Longhorns.

Young marched the Horns down the field and they were faced with a fourth and five with 26 seconds left. Young rolled to his right and raced to the end zone to give Texas an improbable 39-38 lead with 19 seconds left. After a two-point conversion, Texas led 41-38 and they could smell the roses. A last gasp by USC fell short and the Horns had upset the perennial giant in USC and ended their 34 game winning streak.

Florida Football Players Reportedly Involved With Local Gambler “Tay Bang”

According to reports, six University of Florida Gators football players are facing university disciplinary action after an on-campus confrontation with a Gainesville-area gambler named Devante’ “Tay Bang” Zachery and his associates.

The players facing discipline are wide receivers Kadarius Toney, Tyrie Cleveland and Rick Wells, defensive tackle Kyree Campbell, tight end Kemore Gamble and quarterback Emory Jones.

Various reports indicate that Zachery, an employee at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, told the Gainesville Police Department that he gave Gator football players discounts on rental vehicles.

via Orlando Sentinel:

Tensions would escalate during May 28 confrontation on campus when two Gators brandished Airsoft guns resembling assault rifles. According to a campus police report, a baseball bat, frying pan and rocks also were brought to a fight that left six UF players facing a review by the student conduct board.

Zachery filed a report last week with the Gainesville Police Department that gave further details on the fractious relationship with the Gators.

In the report, Zachery told GPD he had a good relationship with Lewis and linebacker Vosean Joseph and would give UF players discounts at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, where Zachery worked. If true, this could violate NCAA rules.

This is not the first time that the University of Florida football team has faced discipline heading into the season as the football team suspended ten players for their 2017 season opener against the University of Michigan.

Those 10 students were suspended for making improper charges on their university student IDs at the school bookstore and then selling those items for cash.

The university released the following statement about the incident through spokesman Steve McClain:

“We understand GPD has followed up last week’s UPD report with a background report that has Devante Zachery (aka Tay Bangs) as its primary source. “We are not aware if there will be any additional information provided by GPD on this matter. Anytime we get information involving our student-athletes we look into it.”

WWE SmackDown Live Stream: How To Watch ‘SmackDown’ Online – 07/31/18

Last night Raw dropped a bombshell in the form of Brock Lesnar laying waste to everyone in the ring, including his own manager Paul Heyman. The Blue brand will get its chance to settle some old scores tonight in Tampa. The championship scene is taking shape and some social media beef will be settled tonight. And what will happen to the Miz if Daniel Bryan gets his hand on him tonight? Here is how and where to watch SmackDown Live.

Tonight SmackDown Live will be in the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

The women’s division will be addressing a lot of bad blood tonight. Becky Lynch and Carmella already know they are foes on August 19 for the SmackDown Live Women’s Championship at SummerSlam but the women won’t want to wait that long to get their hands on each other. The Princess of Staten of Island and the Lass Kicker have a disdain that won’t wait.

Lana and Zelina Vega, however, have kindled a new dislike for each other. After trading barbs over social media The Ravishing Russian will get a chance to get her hands on Vega on SmackDown. Vega, normally the mouthpiece for Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas, will get a chance to show her words aren’t the only thing that can destroy you.

The men’s championship scene will see some drama of its own. Samoa Joe will be going after AJ Styles championship at SummerSlam but the two are not strangers. The former TNA superstars will want to try and gain an upper hand on the other before the PPV. We also will see The Bar take on The Usos in the tournament to decide the number one contender for the SmackDown Live Tag Team Championships

Daniel Bryan and The Miz’s hatred for each other only grows every week. After using a baby doll last week to deceive Bryan, The Miz can expect Bryan to be on the prowl. Bryan has been wanting a shot at The Miz since the famous promo he cut against him while he was still in forced retirement. Bringing dirty tricks and family into it is only going to make Bryan angrier… The Miz should be prepared.
