Rihanna‘s gracing the cover of Fader‘s 100th issue and we couldn’t be more stoked about it.

The badass popstar took the photo herself (as you can see in the cover), and looks pretty damn good. Orchestrated by the magazine’s contributing photographer Renata Raksha, the shoot lasted for an entire day in Los Angeles, California. Which is awesome, of course – the more photos, the merrier.

Accompanied by several sexy photos is an interview with the Barbadian beauty, where she only allowed the interviewer to ask her five questions. Now that is badass.

5 Must Eat Places in College Station, Texas

To kind of continue my trend of things around College Station, this week I’ve decided to give you all insight on the 5 places you need to go eat at if you ever find yourself in the Brazos Valley. Being a hotspot for college action, there are plenty of quality, affordable places to chow down from breakfast to late night. But not all of them are worthy of your time.

Before I start this off, you should know that these restaurants are in no particular order.

Texas A&M Bars: Top 5 Best Places In College Station

Hullabaloos

Hullaballoo Diner

We We Love It: Hullaballo is one of my favorite breakfast spots, and the lunch menu is stacked too. It has been featured on the Food Network and even Guy Fieri loves this place. It sits a few miles outside of town, and is nothing more than an old rail car with a bar and some booths. You will not walk away disappointed.


Remnant of Nawlins

Remnant of Nawlins’

Why We Love It: Now this place is a diamond in the rough. You walk into this gas station on the corner of Holleman and Welsh and wonder what the hell have I gotten myself into. Well I’ll tell you that you will experience the best Cajun home-cooked meal you’ve ever had before in your life. Trust me.


Koppe Bridge Café

Koppe Bridge Café

Why We Love It: Koppe Bridge is everything you would expect a restaurant to be in College Station. It’s got old rustic oil sign and neon lights everywhere. The walls are old rustic wooden boards and the tables are all carved in. It’s really a great atmosphere. They have also been voted the best burger in Burger in the Brazos Valley for the past 20 years. It is indeed that great.


Fuego

Fuego Tortilla Grill

Why We Love It: Fuego is one of the best spots to go to around 3am on a Saturday night. It used to be a 24 hour a day 7 day a week operations till a few weeks ago, but they are still open 6 days a week at all times of the day.  Pretty much everything they have is great. It taste even better when you’re hammered with all your friends after a wild night.

Lil Dicky Save Dat Money Documentary

Remember that epic “Save Date Money” music video that Lil Dicky put out? Good, because it only came out two weeks ago.

WATCH: Lil Dicky "Save Dat Money" Music Video

As promised, along with the actual video itself Lil Dicky also put out a 20-minute documentary completely covering how the hell he got away with spending absolutely zero cash. Is anyone at all surprised that getting past the $350 cover charge at the club was the hardest thing to do?

The final tally? Absolutely no money whatsoever, with exception to the snacks he bought for the flight. Tack on the fact that he made $600 for that ridiculous Venmo hat, he came out in the green.

NBA 2K16

With the NBA preseason about to tip off, two contenders have stepped onto the court, with your gaming budget as the target of a loose-ball scramble. Juggernaut NBA 2K16, shaking off a rough year plagued with server problems, takes on fallen giant NBA Live 16, which is attempting to make up lost ground after years of embarrassment. There’s plenty of new stuff out there for those who aren’t interested in hoops. Surefire blockbuster Skylanders Superchargers, which introduces vehicles to its arsenal, is at the top of the list.

There are also some impressive exclusive for handheld systems, with Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer ready to move in to your 3DS, and the oddball cult favorite Persona 4: Dancing All Night giving you a reason to dust off your Vita.

Reviews by Phil Villarreal. Phil is an authorblogger and Twitterer. Publishers provided review copies.

Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer

Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer

(3DS, $40, Everyone)

You could dismiss Animal Crossing games as Nintendo’s version of virtual dollhosues, but that would be missing the point. You get what you put into Nitnendo’s city builders, which allow you to flex your creativity and organizational skills to put together your master vision. Happy Home Designer, a spinoff of the mainline series, has a more narrow focus than the typical village builder, sticking with interior design rather than master planning. You take jobs from various villagers and do whatever it takes to match their visions with an arsenal of tools and modifiers available.

Previous Animal Crossing games have had online connectivity, but Happy Home Designer is Nintendo’s most open-ended and aggressive move to form a virtual community in the series. You can upload your best designs and download the work of others, rating the offerings in various categories. If you want to dive even deeper, you can share photos of your creations through an integrated photo service that lets you post your work on social media. There’s also connectivity with Nintendo’s Amiibo action figures and accompanying cards, which let you load characters into your weird little houses. This is thoroughly and unashamedly a game for the most extreme Nintedorks.


 

NBA 2K16

NBA 2K16

(Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3, $60, Everyone 10+)

The developers at Visual Concepts are never afraid to disrupt the status quo by pulling in guest celebrities and going off in wild new directions. In the past, that’s meant dedicating a mode to the careers of NBA legends, employing hip-hop artists as producers and focusing on Olympic hoops. This year, the gimmick involves enlisting Spike Lee to direct a dramatic side mode. The Hoop Dreams-style package, dubbed Livin’ Da Dream, has you guide a player from high school, through college, draft day and the launch of a pro career. Previous sports games have had similar modes, but never with anything close to the level of writing and production value here. The publisher could have easily spun the mode off into its own stand-alone title.

On the court, there aren’t as many changes. For most of the last decade, Visual Concepts has had a stranglehold on the most natural and free-flowing virtual basketball in the land. This season, the developers smoothed things out by recording 10,000 new animations, as well as eliminating the need for many pre-programmed collisions by modifying the physics in the engine. Now the angle and timing players collide factors in more to whether shots are released and bodies hit the floor. As usual, there is plenty here to pay tribute to not only the modern game, but the past, with 12 legendary teams from the past available. Last year’s game suffered from online server problems that were ironed out after a month or so. This year’s game appears to have avoided the rocky start in the early going.


NBA Live 16

NBA Live 16

(Xbox One, PS4, $60, Everyone)

EA Sports has either dominated the market or held steady in most every sport, but had suffered an embarrassing slump in basketball for the past several years. Last season was a triumph of sorts only because NBA Live 15 was a competent, though unimaginative, game of basketball. Now that the team has generated a little confidence and establish some solid mechanics, it’s able to flex out for a fuller-featured effort that’s more of a competitor for the 2K juggernaut.

An emphasis on streetball takes over this time out, combining the best aspects of the old NBA Street franchise. You can put a team together and take on teams with pros in pickup games on the asphalt in courts around the country. Customization options abound, letting you deck out your player with authentic gear and tattoos. The basketball action has lost its stiffness, and is now a more fluid, free-flowing game, bolstered by touch-passes and hot-key on-the-fly play calling. There are still bugs to work out. There’s a possibly cool feature that allows you to scan in your face via a smartphone app and upload it for the player you create in the game, but I couldn’t get it to work after several tries. Also, a corrupt save file eliminated hours of my progress, forcing me to restart. If an update can solve those issues, NBA Live 16 could be a contender.


Persona 4 Dancing All Night

Persona 4: Dancing All Night

(Vita, $50, Teen)

The quirky JRPG is no stranger to wacky, nonsensical spinoffs. After Persona 4 Arena, which took the core group of emo, monster-summoning teens and plopped them into a graphic novel/fighting game combo, Dancing All Night swipes the rhythm-game format of Elite Beat Agents. The story, which fills in holes and expands on the mythos of the confusing, twist-filled story from the mainline Persona games, is interrupted by button-tapping dance numbers, which call on you to nail the timing and rhythm of scrolling notes in order to advance.

The result is the video game equivalent of an off-Broadway musical, with the ridiculous show-stoppers expanding the oddball story. The poor, neglected Vita is an excellent home for the game, with its large, bright touchscreen making it easy and fun to tap the screen prompts. If you want to see it on a much bigger screen, the game is also compatible with PlayStation TV. Since so few people own either system, it’s disappointing that the game isn’t available on the PS4. A stylus-friendly 3DS port would also be welcome.


Skylanders Superchargers

Skylanders Superchargers

(Xbox One, PS4, Wii U, Xbox 360, PS3, $75, Everyone 10+)

The fifth entry in the pioneering toys-to-life series continues to innovate while dreaming up devious ways to get you to buy more and more expensive action figures. The new facet of Superchargers is vehicles, which change the paradigm in the manner of the Batmobile-focused Batman: Arkham Knight by making missions more expansive, fast-paced and shooting-focused. You pair a Skylander figure  — as with previous games, all Skylanders are compatible with the new game — with a ride, then experiment with the way the hero’s weapons modify the car’s handling and weaponry. Certain pairings lead to a supercharge, which grants you special abilities that let you mow down enemies with ease.

Although the Skylanders series lacks characters with the name recognition from rival Disney Infinity, it remains the winner in level design, storytelling and mission flow. Rather than mire itself in level creation and item unlocks, the focus sticks with a humorous story with traditional bosses and puzzles. The drop-in, drop-out offline multiplayer makes it easy to switch from solo action to co-op, but the downside is that you may find yourself yearning to fly solo more often because the vehicle portions of the game make the experience lame for player two, who is relegated to aiming a cursor and shooting stuff onscreen. One welcome change is the game’s openness. Unlike other Skylanders games, this one doesn’t lock down certain areas unless you have the right characters. That means you can see everything the game has to offer without buying any extra characters other than those that come in the box, making the starter pack a worthy investment instead of just a down payment.

Demi Lovato is heating up this month’s cover of Complex magazine a bit differently than Khloe Kardashian did back in October.

Rather than getting sweaty and pumping iron, controversial pop star Demi Lovato can be found wearing barely any clothes and sitting on an inflatable banana, looking a bit like the classic pinup girl for the demented.

Demi Lovato: 22 Hottest Photos of the Pop Star

AKA, we dig it.

Aside from her other photos, which essentially show her getting pretty crazy with some really lucky balloons, Lovato discusses how proud she is of her new curves after years of struggling with body issues.

“When [the Kardashians] came into the spotlight, they kind of revolutionized what beauty was when it came to body shapes. For so long, it was the heroin-chic ’90s supermodel thing, and I feel like, when the Kardashians came into the picture, people started to look at it because it was different. They were like, ’You know what? That’s actually really beautiful,” she explained. “From then, I noticed that Beyoncé was thicker, and Nicki Minaj is thicker. When I say thick—like when I call my thighs thick—I love it. I think it’s a good thing. Watching them really helped me learn to accept my body image, too.”

And we love it too. Check out her hot photo shoot below and read the full interview on Complex.com.

Best College Professors
The University of Mississippi has the best professors in the country, according to students on the website Rate My Professors, a site which allows students to review their college instructors based on their helpfulness, easiness, and hotness.

According to Huffington Post,

Rate My Professors combines the average rating for professors at the schools with an overall school rating, and they only use schools with at least 30 rated professors and 30 campus ratings. It is entirely determined on reviews from students. The website used a “five-point Likert scale as well as a binary scoring system for students to rate professors,” Rate My Professors said.

The Five Best GWU Bars In Washington DC

Best College Bars GW

Living in DC isn’t the typical college experience, with there being an almost unlimited number of options available for when the mood to drink hits. Depending on which night of the week it is, and what mental state you’re in, there are several places in DC which have become GW favorites.

Madhatter Washington DC

1. Madhatter

(1319 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20036)

Located by Dupont Circle, Madhatter plays on the Alice and Wonderland theme. However, this is not why GW students know the bar. In fact, the most enticing aspect about the place is there Thursday night dollar beers. Being able to get a beer for less than $5 is a rarity in DC, so being able to get five for that same price is hard to say no to. The bar also serves “Hats”, which is essentially jungle juice in a large plastic hat. Despite the hangover the next day, it’s always a good time and definitely worth a try.


El Rey DC

2. El Rey

(919 U St NW, Washington, DC 20001)

Right in the heart of everything on DC’s U Street corridor, El Rey is the perfect place to start or finish your night. With a huge patio in the back containing a room-long bar, it is always busy every Friday and Saturday. The atmosphere is more relaxed than other bars, but provides a great setting to talk to friends, or even make some new ones. Their margaritas are also a must try. The bar also has a kitchen which is open until the bar closes, which is great for picking up some drunk nachos for the way home.


The Brixton Washington DC

3. The Brixton

(901 U St NW, Washington, DC 20001)

Just down the road from El Rey, The Brixton has pretty much everything you want in a night out. The first floor “British Pub” setting is pretty relaxed, with seating booths and a bar. The second floor lounge basically turns into a club every weekend, playing the perfect music for when the whiskey-gingers hit and you feel the need to dance. Finally, the roof deck is the ideal location to hangout, or fill up your drink from either of the two bars. This place is busy every weekend, and like I said, there is something for everyone here.


Chinese Disco

4. Chinese Disco

(3251 Prospect St NW, Georgetown, WA 20007)

A relatively new attraction for the likes of both GW and Georgetown students, Chinese Disco is the perfect place to go if you want something more lively than a bar, but less expensive that a club. A live DJ plays every Friday and Saturday, often accompanied by a live saxophone player, who plays music until the early hours. The bar also hosts numerous college and NFL football watching parties, and provides drinks deals during the games. All in all, Chinese Disco has definitely jumped onto the radar of GW students in the past few months.


Madams Organ

5. Madam’s Organ

(2461 18th St NW, Washington, DC 20009)

Madam’s Organ, which is located in DC’s Adams Morgan district (get it), plays live music seven nights a week, has a couple of pool tables, and has a roof deck with a Tiki bar. Definitely a more relaxed place than the others listed, but again is somewhere worth checking out. The bar has awesome drinks served out of mason jars, and the music is always on point. Another plus about this bar is that it is just a short walk from Jumbo slice pizza, which is where every night of drinking should end.

Demi Lovato has had one hell of a 2015. To prove it, let me provide you with a little anecdote:

I have been Team Selena for a long, long time. I’m talking like, 7 or 8 years now. I remember back in my freshman year of high school (2007) I would watch Selena on that Disney Wizards show and turn to my boys saying, “This chick is gonna be the finest thing on earth one day.” And guess what? I was pretty much right.

But who’s hotter than Selena Gomez these days? I’ll tell you who: Demi Lovato.

The “Cool For The Summer” popstar has taken on a new edgy vibe that everyone seems to be enjoying. Especially me – I am now officially Team Demi.

After looking through this gallery, I’m sure you will be too.


Orlando Bar Giving Away Free Beer Until UCF Wins

Sometimes, it pays to lose.

Sports bar The Basement Orlando is offering free beers to its patrons until UCF actually wins a game. Not exactly motivating, but whatever! Shell out the free brews!

According to TMZ,

A sports bar near the UCF campus called The Basement Orlando is offering free brews during UCF’s game this weekend against Tulane. The team is currently 0-4, and the bar’s marketing honcho Jake Whitcare says they thought this would boost fan morale.

Whitcare tells us, they’ll be serving up domestic kegs totally gratis until the UCF Knights win a game. He says they’re in this for the long haul — as in 0-12, if it comes to that.

Great idea, Whitcare! Keep up the losing, UCF!

Game of Thrones Movie Details
Brace yourselves Game of Thrones fans, a movie is apparently in the works.

Writer George R.R. Martin recently let slip that a Game of Thrones movie is set to premiere after the show ends. However he is not expected to be part of the project.

During an interview with Ibnlive.com, Martin stated,

“There will be a movie but I will not be involved. I have too much to do. That is something HBO and (executive producers) DB (D.B. Weiss) and David (Benioff) are dealing with. I have two more books to finish and I still have so much to do. The pressure is on. I am such a slow writer and the fans get upset that I don’t write faster.”

The show is expected to go for eight seasons.

Alright so obviously, we’re all about this. Game of Thrones, on the big screen?! Sign us up. But if it’s anything like the whole Entourage mess – an awesome show which translated into a seriously terrible movie – we want no part of it.

Don’t mess with us, Martin!

Dr Dre Net Worth Today

Dr. Dre’s net worth is a widely discussed topic. Ever since Apple acquired his headphone company, Beats, for $3.2 billion, it was reported that Dr. Dre had become the first hip hop artist to achieve a net worth of $1 billion. But is that really true? And if not, how much exactly is Dr. Dre’s net worth?

Dr. Dre’s Net Worth as of 2015: $750 Million

Dr. Dre is not just one of the most successful entertainers in the world, but one of the world’s most successful people. Period. Following his pioneering of the legendary hip hop group N.W.A., and subsequent launch of one of the most famous record labels of all time, Death Row Records, Dr. Dre turned his focus to business. He is now the CEO of both Aftermath Entertainment and Beats Electronics. In fact, according to Forbes, Dr. Dre has astoundingly tripled his net worth since 2011. But how did this troubled kid from Compton become one of the most successful men in America? We take a look back at all the major events that got Dr. Dre to this point.


1985 – 1991

Dr. Dre 1980s Worth

1985: Dr Dre. met aspiring rapper Antoine Carraby, later to become member DJ Yella of N.W.A.


Dr Dre NWA

1986: Dre met rapper O’Shea Jackson—nicknamed Ice Cube—who collaborated with Dr. Dre to record songs for Ruthless Records, a rap record label run by local rapper Eazy-E. Dre, Ice Cub, and Eazy-E would go on to form the foundation of gangsta rap group N.W.A.


dr-dre-net-worth-1988

August 9, 1988: N.W.A.’s debut album, Straight Outta Compton, is released. It has been considered groundbreaking by music writers and has had an enormous impact on the evolution of West Coast hip hop. Straight Outta Compton redefined the direction of hip hop, which resulted in lyrics concerning the gangster lifestyle becoming the driving force in sales figures.


dr-dre-net-worth-1991

May 28, 1991: N.W.A.’s second album, EFIL4ZAGGIN, is released.

1991: After a dispute with Eazy-E, Dre left the N.W.A. at the peak of its popularity in 1991. Later that year, Dre and former body guard Suge Knight founded Death Row Records: Artists signed to the label included The D.O.C.  Snoop Dogg, Tupac Shakur, The Outlawz, The Lady of Rage, MC Hammer and others.


1992 – 1996

dr-dre-net-worth-1992

December 15, 1992: Dr Dre’s critically acclaimed debut solo album, The Chronic, is released.

dr-dre-net-worth-1994

December 28, 1995: Dr. Dre and Tupac’s smash hit, California Love, is released. This song was both Dr. Dre’s, and Tupac’s, first song to top the Billboard Hot 100.

dr-dre-net-worth-1996

1996: In March of 1996, Dr. Dre left Death Row Records amidst a contract dispute and growing concerns that label boss Suge Knight was corrupt, financially dishonest and out of control. Later in 1996, Dr. Dre would found Aftermath Entertainment. It operates as a subsidiary of, and is distributed through, Universal Music Group’s Interscope Records. Current acts include Dr. Dre himself, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Jon Connor and Justus with former acts including 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, The Game, Raekwon, Eve, Rakim and many others.

November 26, 1996: The first album produced by Aftermath Entertainment, Dr. Dre Presents: The Aftermath, is released. 


1998 – 2000

Dr Dre Net Worth 1999

1998: Jimmy Iovine, the head of Aftermath’s parent label Interscope, suggested that Dr. Dre sign Eminem, a rapper from Detroit. Eminem went to Los Angeles to compete in the 1997 Rap Olympics (an annual, nationwide battle rap competition). He placed second, and Interscope Records staff in attendance sent a copy of the Slim Shady EP to company CEO Jimmy Iovine. Iovine played the tape for Dr. Dre. Dre recalled, “In my entire career in the music industry, I have never found anything from a demo tape or a CD. When Jimmy played this, I said, ‘Find him. Now.'” Although he was criticized by associates for hiring a white rapper, Dre was confident in his decision: “I don’t give a fuck if you’re purple; if you can kick it, I’m working with you.”


Dr Dre Net Worth 2001

November 16, 1999: Almost seven years since his debut album, Dr. Dre’s sophomore effort, 2001, is released.  The album was highly successful, charting at number two on the Billboard 200 charts and has since been certified six times platinum, validating a recurring theme on the album: Dr. Dre was still a force to be reckoned with, despite the lack of major releases in the previous few years.


Dr Dre Net Worth In 2000

May 23, 2000: Eminem’s seminal album, the Dr. Dre produced The Marshall Mathers LP, was released. The album sold more than 1.76 million copies in the US in the first week alone, becoming the fastest-selling studio album by any solo artist in American music history.[4] In 2001, the album won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album and was nominated for Album of the Year. The album was certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America in March 2011 for shipping 10 million copies in the United States.


2002

Dr. Dre Net Worth 2002

On March 7, 2011, the album was certified ten-times-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, making it Eminem’s second album to receive a Diamond certification in the United States. Since its release in 2002 the album has sold 11,500,000 copies in the United States and more than 30 million copies worldwide.

Booty Call Texts

Everyone in the world has sent booty call text messages for one reason: they work. If both parties know what’s up and have nothing to lose, why not get together for some no-strings-attached late night pillow talk?

The difficulty only starts setting in once one party starts becoming too attached… or when one party texts the completely wrong number. That’s when things go horribly wrong or right, depending on who you ask.

Facebook Profile News

To keep Facebook relevant, the social media platform is making some pretty huge changers to its users’ profiles.

Facebook will be making five big changes and for a few lucky users, some will be able to test them out today. The expected changes are as follows:

  1. The option to pin Featured Photos to the top of the profile
  2. Temporary profile pics
  3. Easier visibility controls for About info including a new 100 character Bio field
  4. A mobile-centric design with centered profile photos plus big sections for photos and friends
  5. The ability to use a 7-second looping video as your profile pic.

Considering how much Snapchat and GIFs have taken over our lives, we totally see what they’re doing here.

Facebook’s project manager Aigerim Shorman tells describes the new design as a highlighter for “what’s going on in [the user’s] life, what’s important to them now in more expressive ways.”
Facebook GIF changes
Here’s a little breakdown of what you can expect:

Profile Videos

Soon you’ll be able to click on your profile photo and upload a new profile video. You tap the record button and can shoot for up to 7 seconds with sound. The looping video will auto-play without sound (unless clicked) on your profile (similar to an Instagram video) and the feed story about you uploading it. A still cover image you select will appear everywhere else, such as the small thumbnail that appears next to your News Feed stories.

Featured Photos

Now instead of having one featured image, you’ll be able to select up to five. They will appear pinned to a section at the top of your profile. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love photos?! That’s the biggest reason for all of your friend requests, and you know it.

Facebook New Featured Photos

Temporary Profile Photos

In case you’re interested in promoting a cause of some sort, this new feature will come in handy. It lets you select a profile pic, but have yours revert to your old pic after a set number of hours, days, or weeks.

Visibility Controls & Bio

Facebook is a now adding in-line privacy controls to the big About information fields that appear at the top of your profile. Those set to public will now appear immediately on the profile below your profile pic, rather than buried in the About section. You’ll also be able to describe yourself in words with a new 100-character Bio field.

Temporary FB Profile Pics

Mobile Design

Facebook has built a new mobile design, making profiles more aesthetically pleasing and easier to read. It puts the profile pic and video at the center of the screen.

“We wanted a perfect future, and f*ck… we got it. I wanted to be a killing machine, and they made me one.”

WOOOOOOOOOOO! If that doesn’t get you jacked up for the new COD, I don’t know what will. Call Of Duty is a stable of male culture, particularly those my age.

Check out this trailer for Call of Duty Black Ops II and get pumped up for the newest franchise entry.

Call of Duty: Black Ops III will be released on November 6, 2015, for Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, and Microsoft Windows.
