Camille Kostek has just been outted as Rob Gronkowski‘s girlfriend, sources close to the New England Patriots Tight End told TMZ.
So who is the lady who just landed the top spot on every jersey chaser’s hit list? Camille is an ex-Patriots cheerleader who left the New England Patriots Cheerleaders to explore a career as a TV reporter. In addition to cheerleading, Camille also spent time as a model (which she still seems to do) and as a music video actress.
Truthfully, we don’t condone or support what that lovable grown ass baby does with his time or his dong, but we couldn’t be more surprised at the timing. He just won a Super Bowl. He’s just hitting his stride as far as on-the-field accomplishments are concerned. Wouldn’t this party animal want to stay single as long as possible?
Netflix is adding a slew of new TV shows next month and we know the ones worth watching. Check out the list below and get ready for several long weekends in front of your computer screen.
Son’s of Anarchy April 25th
With the show finally over after seven seasons, it’s only responsible to binge-watch the entire thing from the beginning, especially now that the final season is debuting on Netflix tomorrow. If you’ve never seen Sons of Anarchy and have no idea what we’re talking about, all you have to know is that it’s about a motorcycle gang – which is awesome. Starring Ron Perlman, Charlie Hunnan, and Mrs. Peg Bundy herself, Katey Sagal, you’ll be glued to your laptop after the first episode.
Witnesses May 1st
Lesson learned: when a pair of Jehovah’s Witnesses show up at your doorstep to help you see “the truth,” don’t open the door. Two witnesses pose as religious missionaries to scout out targets – of what and why, we have no idea, but we’re guessing there’s a twisted murder plot involved. After they come face-to-face with a local cop, things get a little rough, and presumably gory. The creepy feel from the trailer is enough reason to watch the entire season in one sitting.
Longmire May 1st
Folks love crime, and Longmire feeds the soul. Wyoming Sheriff Walt Longmire is the definition of a hardass – the man stands for no injustice. But of course there’s more to the main character than just a stern face and a giant gun. His wife recently passed away and now he’s dedicated to putting his life back together. The third season will debut on Netflix May 1st, which is perfect timing considering the cast is already filming the fourth season.
Granite Flats May 15
Set in the a minuscule Colorado town during the Cold War, small town concerns, mystery, and ongoing FBI investigations plague the area’s residents. Everything is so hush hush, you have no choice but to tune in to find out what the fuss is all about – and see what the hell is going on. If that doesn’t convince you, maybe this will: Christopher Lloyd from Back to the Future is in it. BOOM.
Between May 21st
For lovers of The Walking Dead, this looks right up your alley. Starring the smokin’ Jennette McCurdy, this sci-fi thriller focuses on a town under siege from a mysterious plague that’s killing everyone under the age of 21. Why? We have no idea, but that’s obviously the best part about the weekly Netflix show.
Transporter May 22nd
A spinoff from the Transporter film franchise, the series follows the adventures of badass Frank Martin, a former Special Forces operative who now works as a freelance courier driver, known for offering his services without question. Bring on the sweet stunts and sexy femme fatales (we hope).
Graceland May 29
The USA hit debuts its first two seasons later next month after producers recently announced the show would be back for a third season. Focusing on a drug raid run by the U.S. government, undercover cops chill out on a beachside condo they lovingly refer to as Graceland. Sounds like we got into the wrong industry.
Michigan’s Battle Creek Bombers recently debuted the poptarko to fans, a classy hybrid between a poptart and a taco.
What’s in the poptarko, you ask? Well, according to the press release:
The taco is coated in maple syrup sourced from Michigan, as well as cheese. The soft shell is then wrapped around a hard corn taco shell. The taco is then built with BBQ Pulled Pork — also sourced from Michigan — and even includes a full Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Pop-Tart, which is broken in half to better fit in the taco. For toppings, the Bombers suggest real crumbled bacon, a touch of maple syrup, additional cheese, and of course — crumbled up pieces of Pop-Tarts.
Interesting. Veeerrryyyy interesting. After a few ballgame drinks we’d totally take a bite of this poptart miracle, no problem. What a we do have a problem with is the name – our first thought after saying it was “shart.”
In my search for new and different brews I am always amazed at the different flavor combinations that are out there. Yes, I love traditional brews but every now and then I love a craft beer that does something complete different by combining two, or more, different flavors. This weekend Brewworks’ Hoppy Grounds Pale Ale is What’s on Tap!
On the pour Gizmo Brewworks’ (Raleigh, NC) Hoppy Grounds Pale Ale looks like a traditional pale ale, golden in color with visible carbonation. Even on first sip there is a nice 1-2 taste of both hops and fruit. But then the coffee, hence the name “Grounds,” kicks in and it is an awesome surprise! (I admit I ordered the brew not reading the name but by asking the bartender if anything new was on tap. I was told the name and thought the “grounds” was a nod to the field/farm where the hops were grown. So the coffee notes were a pleasant surprise.) As I drank the beer I began to like the combination more and more.
Because of the different flavors and the relatively low ABV (5.4%) Hoppy Grounds is really a beer that can be enjoyed at anytime and with any dish. I would not order anything too powerful in fear of missing out on all of the beer’s deliciousness. A grilled fish and even light pasta would be perfect. However you cannot go wrong when enjoying a new brew!
Cheers!

The first photo of Jared Leto as The Joker in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie is out, and it’s officially supposed to be celebrating the 75th anniversary of The Joker. We just think Suicide Squad director David Ayer knew how crappy this thing looks, and decided to dump the first pic while we were all distracted by Bruce Jenner…
Yeah, what is this? We don’t like to show off our geekiness, but this is one crappy Joker. For one thing, why does The Joker have a “Ha Ha Ha” tattoo that’s like a t-shirt that a Joker fan would buy at the mall? Actually, this Joker looks like the biggest Joker geek in the world. Check out that “J” that’s supposed to be like a teardrop tattoo. This Joker is one trendy joker, dude.
We can’t even stand the idea of discussing that emo “Damaged” tattoo or those dopey teeth. Yeesh. We’re not unforgiving geeks. We even conceded that the latest Fantastic Four trailer looks kind of cool. But this is just pathetic.
Now we’re dreading what they’re going to do with Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. That character really is a Joker fan. Maybe she’ll have “Ha Ha Ha” tattooed on the side of her face. That’s possible. The DC empire is obviously out to screw up anything they can.
David Blaine visited Harrison Ford’s place to do a magic trick–and that’s cool, because we were wondering just the other day what David Blaine was doing nowadays. He used to be everywhere with his big stunts, but now he’s pushing something called Real or Magic. That’s where this scene is from, and it’s worth watching just for Harrison’s amazing reaction to a trick that isn’t really that great.
We also like this clip because it reminds us of watching David Blaine getting his start in NYC nightclubs. He’d walk up to different celebs in the VIP lounge and do some kind of similar trick. We’re not saying that Blaine isn’t a really good magician. We’re just saying that he got a lot of influential early fans by impressing them with tricks that could’ve been better.
We think that the celebs were just amazed to get entertained for a change, instead of being expected to be all charming or witty. Hey, it worked for the guy–and we get this kind of fun video, so we’re sure not complaining…
Jerry Seinfeld went retro for David Letterman with his final appearance on The Late Show last night, as he recreated his first standup routine from when he guested with Dave on Late Night back in the ’80s. We guess NBC didn’t own that as intellectual property. Anyway, it’s not like Seinfeld has ever done a lot of cutting-edge political humor, although there are a few fun moments of nostalgia here.
Also, we’re guessing that Seinfeld had an old VHS tape of the routine. He retired all of his old standup several years ago, so it’s not like he’s just been updating his routine with Chipotle references instead of McDonald’s.
Also, it’s cool to see a special performance that wasn’t a music act. We’ve already looked at John Mayer doing “American Pie” at Letterman’s request. Last night was Jason Isbell & Amanda Shires paying tribute to Warren Zevon with a cover of the late Letterman favorite’s “Mutineer.” We’ve added that below, too.
Anyway, Seinfeld was already a top standup when he showed up on the Late Night for the first time. His career got bigger, though. In fact, there was a billion dollars worth of comedy talent on that stage when those two sat down to talk afterwards. We’re not going to worry about Letterman’s retirement…
It was a pretty fun week for trailers, with Johnny Depp looking gangsteriffic in Black Mass and Chris Pratt running with raptors in Jurassic World. We’re also ready to get suckered again byM. Night Shyamalan with The Visit. But there were a few more fun films giving us a sneak peek, so check out with some of the more forgotten flicks from this past week…
The Overnight
We understand being a little suspicious about a movie billed as “Sundance’s best sex comedy,” but The Overnight really plays more like a major-studio cringefest. Adam Scott and Taylor Schilling star as new L.A. residents who end up up on a weird playdate with parents Jason Schwartzman and Judith Godrèche. The trailer gives you a pretty good idea of the weirdness that entails, but you’ll marvel at the parts that couldn’t be shown in the trailer….
Area 51
So the guy who made Paranormal Activity ran out and made another low-budget found-footage film in 2008–and then it sat on the shelf for years, despite Paranormal Activity making all kinds of money and launching a franchise. Let’s assume it’s a conspiracy, since Area 51 is about kids who shoot some video while running around the notorious government property that supposedly houses UFOs of some sort. Anyway, this is what some folks have been waiting for…
Barely Lethal
This one isn’t going to movie theaters–and seems to be a DirecTV production, so it’s all the more baffling to see Jessica Alba and Samuel L. Jackson in this movie about teen spy Hailee Steinfeld. We know that Mr. Jackson works a lot, but this is so much like Kingsmen: The Secret Service that we’re mainly wonderig if he’s even reading the scripts before signing on….
Mega Shark vs. Kolossus
From the makers of Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus, and the (not so good) Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark comes the latest movie in which a Mega Shark has to go up against a cool creation. This time, it’s a pretty cool twist with Russians reactivating an old Cold War experiment that would’ve been too outdated to be in Pacific Rim–but looks fun while heading to Syfy…
Six players have now been suspended over the big brawl between the Kansas City Royals and Chicago White Sox on Thursday–which kind of eclipsed this whole Floyd Mayweather/Manny Pacquiao thing that’s still going on tonight.
Now the week’s wildest fighters include Kansas City Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura. He has a seven-game suspension, mostly because he’s already been on his worst behavior even before he got heated up with Chicago’s Adam Eaton.
And, yes, it’s true that Eaton kind of started things by mouthing off to Ventura after the guy threw the Sox star a quick pitch. The league still feels that Ventura was really the problem, and Eaton isn’t facing any penalties.
The same can’t be said for KC’s Edinson Volquez, who jumped into the action and won a five-game suspension–which he can share with White Sox pitchers Jeff Samardzija and Chris Sale. Watch the video below, and it seems like Samardzija got off easy. He’s really a clear instigator.
Sale probably got hit (relatively) hard over reportedly trying to bust into the Royals clubhouse after he got ejected from the game. That’s officially a rumor, but Sale sure isn’t rushing to discuss any details.
And we also have the Lorenzo Cain and pitcher Kelvin Herrera of the Royals each getting two games off–and Herrera is already trying to get out of a five-game suspension for aiming a ball at Oakland’s Brett Lawrie last weekend. Hey, Ventura got in trouble during that game, too.
We don’t have a snide remark about Lorenzo Cain because it’s hard to judge his involvement. It looks to us like Samardzija really went after the guy. Decide for yourself–and enjoy the play-by-play announcers who don’t hide their disgust…
The body of missing Indiana University student Hannah Wilson was found on Friday, and now Bloomington resident Daniel Messel has been arrested on a preliminary charge of murder. Davis was a 22-year-old psychology major and Gamma Phi Beta sorority sister.
IU postponed several events yesterday in the wake of Hannah’s death, including celebrations that were part of the college’s annual Little 500 bicycle race. The Indiana Daily Student has coverage of Messel’s previous encounters with the police.
Gamma Phi Beta international president Krista Davis issued the following statement…
The entire Gamma Phi Beta family mourns the tragic loss of Hannah. She was a sister, friend, and cherished member who will be genuinely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Hannah’s friends, family and the women of Beta Phi Chapter.
There were riots in Baltimore last night, but all of our nation’s news media were busy celebrating themselves at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. That’s when they get to hang out with a lot of celebrities who want to look smart by hanging out with star-struck reporters. It’s pretty hateful during a quiet night, and even worse when reporters are all dolled up while–just 40 miles away–the people of Baltimore are trapped in the Camden Yards ballpark because the cops won’t let them out amongst the violence in the streets.
But the important thing is that President Obama got to play “Weekend Update” onstage in front of his admirers, and Keegan-Michael Key (of our beloved Key & Peele) showed up to make the moment a little less embarrassing and a lot more hip as Luther the Anger Translator. Check it out, unless you’re in Baltimore and still cleaning up glass…
Things got violent last night in Baltimore with more riots against police…um, violence. Things weren’t safe for news reporters, either. It’s like rioters have no respect for journalists nowadays. [photo: Alex Wong/Getty]
Consider this footage from the Ruptly news agency, as a producer checking out Baltimore’s mayhem suddenly has her purse liberated by some protesters. We’ll give her credit for going after the thieves in this thrilling video with an instant justice ending…
Yeah, good thing the cops were there. Things didn’t go so well for the activist who was filming the Ferguson riots and had his iPhone 6 stolen. Actually, Bassem Masri went on to say that he believed it was “a police agitator” who was responsible for his iPhone being seized. Let’s look back at that moment, too–and see if you think Bassem was right…
We know that we’ve already complained about the shallowness of the 2015 White House Correspondents Dinner as a place where news reporters mingle with celebs – but we will admit that there’s a case to be made for mingling with the likes of Chrissy Teigen. [photo: Michael Loccisano/Getty]
You’ll also want to admire Tamron Hall for really flaunting her bod as a news correspondent, while Carla Gugino brought some MILFish glamour to the night. And we’re also tossing in a shot of Katie Couric showing off some thigh in what looks more like a drunken night out in a country club. We’re not saying it’s sexy, but that also sums up the White House Correspondents Dinner…
There have been 22 bodies recovered from Mt. Everest after the avalanches that rocked Nepal this weekend–according to the Nepal Home Ministry. This video is from some survivors who managed to not get buried under tons of snow. We’re not sure how things worked out in their favor, though.
We just know this is some seriously scary footage–that’s possibly NSFW because of (foreign) language, but we’re not going to blame these climbers for using bad words. If this had been a COED expedition, it would look like we’d lost audio, because only dogs could hear our loud-pitched shrieks…
There are always some things that sports collectors want over other items. That would include anything that involves Michael Jordan. A pair of his shoes went up for auction this past weekend and were advertised as the earliest NBA-worn shoes by the Chicago Bulls legend. The shoes were sold for $71,553 and were called Air Ships instead of Air Jordans.
It is quite the catch for the winner of the auction to be able to get these shoes from arguably the greatest player in NBA history. The fact that they aren’t Air Jordans is something very interesting however. He didn’t wear Air Jordans right away during his rookie season in 1984-85 as Nike was working on his signature shoe so he wore their Air Ships instead.
The Air Jordans didn’t come to the retail market until March of 1985 so these shoes that were up for auction were definitely one of a kind. Collectors will continue to be on the lookout for anything Jordan-related and who knows what the next item will be or how much it will go for during an auction. It is likely that this is the last time that Air Ships will come up though.
After starring in Thirteen, a near unrealistic autobiographical depiction of the actress’s life as a 13-year-old, Nikki Reed has been on the brain.
Since airing out her debaucherous adolescence, Reed snagged a reoccuring role in the teen drama series The O.C., then played leading character Rosalie Hale in the Twilight series. A hot vampire, she was.
Next on the horizon for the actress is several 2015 projects – including a film titled The Sunday Horse where she’ll play alongside William Shatner – and a honeymoon. Reed recently married The Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder – how fitting.
A female “comedian” “discovered” a two-way mirror in the women’s bathroom in Chicago bar Cigars and Stripes. She recorded a video of the whole discovery for you to get upset about.
OK, so at first the whole thing does seem really, really sketchy. But there’s legitimate explanation for the whole thing. The bar celebrates Halloween by hanging a witches head on the inside of the mirror in an attempt to scare the bejeezus out of the female patrons. It’s also apparently unlocked 24/7 and only has one entrance–which is through the stall. This fact has been known for over five years.
Of course, don’t tell that to the hundreds of people who’ve started leaving one star reviews on the bar’s Yelp page.
To the owner Ronnie Lotz’s credit, he’s taking this whole thing in stride and has gone on the record saying that any publicity is good publicity.
We’re not going to spend much time on @TamaleRocks, the woman who recorded the video because she’s already getting her fifteen seconds of fame but anytime you have to remind someone that you’re a comedian numerous times within a 1:23 video, you’re not doing it right.
According to an awesome new study from the UK’s Anglia Ruskin University, people who are having more sex are making more money. Finally, the world makes sense!
According to the overall findings, those having sex twice a week earn 4.5% more money than those not getting laid at all. According to Esquire,
In addition, the researchers found that men who aren’t having sex earn 1.3 percent less that those who are. The study, which looked at data from 7,500 Greek nationals, also found that employees with health problems are less sexually active, leading researchers to suggest that more sex equals happier workers. The results, however, did not establish whether more sex actually improved work performance, or whether those who are getting lucky at home also just happen to get lucky during bonus time.
Regardless, facts are facts! Everyone should be having more sex – it’s good for your soul and your wallet. Bring on the gold.
Professor Irwin Horowitz at Texas A&M at Galveston just went ahead and failed his entire Strategic Management Class, citing the entire classroom’s behavior as reasoning. In a lengthy email sent to the class, Irwin claimed that “until now, I have never in my capacity as an academic ever encountered a class as completely disgraceful and disrespectful as this. Not even close.”
Surprisingly, and thankfully for those students, Texas A&M is not backing up Professor Irwin.
The full email has been copied here:
I have been a professor in university settings for over 20 years now. I have been taught managerial strategy by Michael Porter himself at Harvard many years ago, and have taught the course and published in tangential areas for my entire career. I have taught this class at many academic institutions, undergrad, graduate, nationally and internationally. This includes addressing the entire body of students and faculty at Annapolis’ Foreign Affairs Conference on C3I research, the University of Maryland (where I taught U.S. Navy maritime undergraduate students from the 7th Fleet in Yokosuka Naval Base in this exact course in Business Strategy), University of Minnesota, University of Texas School of Public Health, Baylor College of Medicine, the Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery. Additionally, I served as Executive Directorship and Interim Chair of Business Ethics at the University of St. Thomas to assist them successfully attain AACSB accreditation–which institution that was (and is) run by an ex-General under which the West Point Honor Code was used, and is the same as your own; so it is a code of honor that I am intamitely familiar. All that said, until now, I have never in my capacity as an academic ever encountered a class as completely disgraceful and disrespectful as this. Not even close.
Briefly, but not a complete set of examples, since teaching this course, I have seen cheating, been told by students to “chill out,” “get out of my space,” “go back and teach” refuse to leave the room after being told to do so following inappropriate conduct, called a “fucking moron” several times by a student to my face, had gone through numerous student hearings, had to change exams because students were using the testing center to take photos of make-up exams and share with their friends, have had students subsequently cheat by signing in for another, students not showing up but claiming they did, listened to many hurtful and untrue rumors about myself, my wife and other colleagues in MARA, been caught between fights between students and student groups, felt the need to have police protection in our class and another following it, had grades given with the most careful of analysis first attempted to be rebuked to Dr. Mileski, and when turned down, to Dr. Louchouarn.
Many of you were very proud to flash those new Aggie rings upon reaching the graduation stage. However, Texas A&M holds students to a very high Honor Code. It is the very backbone and represents the principles that bond Aggies for a lifetime and make your degree so special. Unfortunately, I have seen no such “honor” in my class. Just the opposite. Backstabbing, game playing, cheating, lying, fighting. In my 20 years of teaching I have never seen nor taught a class with less honor than this. This class is an embarrassment in general, and fully out of line with the Honor Code purported by Texas A&M. The work in the class has been sub-par, and students set to graduate cannot even demonstrate the competence of being able to figure out how many apples are needed to break-even from a driveway operation. I have given a surprise quiz in class, and no one passed, not one, due to a lack of study. When asked, it is clear that no one has read the assigned readings as required. The stress from this class has further damaged my back injury to the point of needing to begin regular therapy again.
None of you, in my opinion, given the behavior in this class deserve to pass, or graduate to become an “Aggie” as you do not in any way embody the honor that the University holds graduates should have within their personal character. It is thus for these reasons why I am officially walking away from this course. I am frankly and completely disgusted. You all lack the honor and maturity to live up to the standards that Texas A&M holds, and the competence and/or desire to do the quality work necessary to pass the course just on a grade level. I am still receiving emails for me to allocate my time to “help” as there are many who have realized that with a week left they may not receive a passing grade on class merit. Therefore, I refuse to take any more abuse from this class whatsoever. It is my professional opinion based on experience that there is no one in this course that deserves to pass. This is most unfortunate because I prided my entire career in seeing how my students went on to succeed, and help them along the way, as my own legacy as a teacher–far beyond any publications or academic honors that to me were always secondary to my students.
For the above reasons I will no longer be teaching the course, and all are being awarded a failing grade. I’m sure many of you will line up to appeal, and claim the above “unjust” “unfair” and the other such terms in your victim lexicons, just as you do when you receive grades you do not like (“didn’t deserve.”) And from what I’ve seen, the school pays but lip service to their honor code, so it’s likely many of you will attempt such appeals. I don’t care as I am completely removing myself from the circus that you all in tandem made for yourselves. It is beyond my imagination that any single one of you can look back at this class and take pride in your work–it’s all about the instrumentality of receiving your degree not the intrinsic meaning of it as a real measure of esteem and accomplishment; but to that end, I refuse to play a part. This is a complete disgrace to your school, the A&M Honor Code, those honorably holding A&M degrees, to your families who supported you, and ultimately to yourselves.
Surfers, rejoice: the pestering and persistent “you need to get a real job” conversation won’t put a damper on your prime wave-catching hours thanks to Quicksilver Japan. The company’s latest style expedition pays tribute to those not looking to compromise their playtime with finding a job, something we can totally get behind.
They’re called True Wetsuits and they’re pretty f*cking fly:
Each part of the suit is made out of 2mm neoprene, making them completely waterproof. Everything about them is pretty gnarly, except for the astronomical price tag of $2,500. But let’s be real – not having to wear an actual suit is pretty priceless.
