Kanye West Paying BIG BUCKS To Be With Kim Kardashian For Pregnancy Check-Ups!

Posted: 21 Apr 2013 12:58 PM PDT

He may not have been physically with her for 85 days during her pregnancy, but despite reports that suggest otherwise, it certainly sounds as though Kanye West's number one priority, above all else, is his lady love Kim Kardashian and their child-to-be!

According to new reports, while the rapper has been incredibly busy with work-related obligations over the past few months, he has made it to all of the reality starlet's doctor's appointments...and because he's working in Paris right now, it's costing him a pretty penny to do so!

Yeah. Like $100,000 worth of pennies.

Sources reveal that Yeezy has been so involved in Kim's check-ups, he's even reached out to doctors well in advance to ensure that he can work his schedule around the check-ups!

So far, he's taken THREE SEPARATE trips via private jet from Paris to El Lay to do just that!

Doesn't that just melt your heart a little bit?

Seriously! We ADORE hearing what an attentive daddy-to-be Kanye is!

Between this and the unexpected divorce settlement this week, we think Kim is one seriously lucky lady!

All the best, you guys!

Darren Criss Revises Call Me Maybe To Take A Stand Against DOMA At The GLAAD Media Awards!

Posted: 21 Apr 2013 12:31 PM PDT

There were MANY wonderful, inspirational moments from last night's 2013 GLAAD Media Awards - including an-always HIGHlarious Jennifer Lawrence and a powerful speech from President Bill Clinton while accepting the Advocate for Change Award - but none tickled our ear buds and drive for progress more than the incomparable Darren Criss!

The Glee hearthrob took the stage early on in the evening to delight attendees with a musical performance, and surprisingly enough, he chose to revise the lyrics of the Carly Rae Jepsen smash Call Me Maybe to accommodate a much bigger issue than unrequited teenage love - and call for the end of DOMA and Prop. 8!

Hear the clever, yet powerful re-worked number (above)!

Just AH-MAY-ZING, isn't it?!

Thanks for taking a stand, Darren! EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL!

Justin Bieber TWEETS - And DELETES - Photo With Selena Gomez!

Posted: 21 Apr 2013 11:24 AM PDT

Well, THIS certainly supports the reports that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are full-blown BACK TOGETHER!

...at least, we THINK it idoes!

After witnesses saw the on-again/off-again couple acting very much ON AGAIN yesterday in Norway, where the Biebs is currently performing concert dates on his Believe World Tour, the pint-sized pop sensation took to his Instagram account to post a picture of he and his sometimes-lady love looking all sorts of ADORABLE...but then almost IMMEDIATELY took it down!

But don't worry!

We've got it right here for you (above)!

Very inneresting, wouldn't you say?!

Look at happy they obviously are! But perhaps they've decided that if they are going to give this romance another go, they should try to keep it private!

Understandable! But WE STILL WANT TO KNOW, guys!

What's the deal? Are U back together or not?!

NEW Details From Boston Bombings And Manhunt: Suspect #2 To Be Charged Today!

Posted: 21 Apr 2013 10:23 AM PDT

Despite all the reports from classmates and friends that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, was unlikely to be involved in any sort of extremist activity, new information about the 19-year-old seems to indicate that he and his brother, the now deceased Tamerlan, lived a shocking double life.

According to reports, the elder Tsarnaev's behavior changed drastically in the last three or four years, and upon returning from an extended trip to Russia in August of 2012, posted multiple videos to his private YouTube page featuring a militant Islamic group in his native Chechnya area, known as Imarat Kavkaz.

However, according to Watertown Police Chief Edward Deveau:

"From what I know right now, these two acted together and alone. I think we have to be ever vigilant, and we're learning as we go along, but as far as this little cell -- this little group -- I think we got our guys."

Meanwhile, his younger brother, Dzhokar, remains unable to speak in the hospital, where he is "intubated and sedated" as new reports reveal he suffered a throat injury during the 24-hour manhunt and shoot-out that occurred between Thursday and Friday, during which it's now been revealed that pair hijacked a Mercedes, ADMITTED to the driver that they were behind the bombings while hurling explosives at authorities, INCLUDING handguns, riles, and six pressure cooker bombs similar to what they used on Monday.

Given the severity of his actions, Dzhokhar is expected to be formally charged today by a judge at his hospital bedside, both for both federal terrorism - which could result in the death penalty - and state murder charges.

As New York Senator Charles Schumer says:

"Given the facts that I've seen, it would be appropriate to use the death penalty in this case and I hope they would apply it in federal court."

We suppose only time will tell what's to come next, but we just sincerely hope that all the authorities involved are able to gather as much information from this young man as possible, and use it to ensure that travesties of this scale are prevented in the future.

Our heart stays with during this impossibly difficult time, Boston.

Gunfire At Denver 4/20 Celebration Leaves Three People And Dog Injured!

Posted: 21 Apr 2013 09:39 AM PDT

Yet again, what was supposed to be a happy, peaceful occasion has been marred by unnecessary and thoughtless violence.

During "4/20" pot rally in Denver's Civic Center Park yesterday, where over ten thousand stoners had gathered to celebrate the first year that marijuana is legalized for recreational use in the state of Colorado, multiple gunshots were fired, leaving three people and a dog injured, and countless others fleeing in terror.

According to local reporter Russell Haythorn, the crowd heard "four to five shots fired" around 5pm, while Lil' Flip was performing, and a man and woman between 20-30, were shot in the leg, while a juvenile and dog belonging to one of the victims were both grazed.

According to 28-year-old attendee Travis Craig, who rushed to help a victim by using his belt to apply a tourniquet to his leg:

"I saw him fall, grabbing his leg. He was just screaming that he was in pain, and wanted to know where his girlfriend was. She was OK. And then the cops showed up real quick, like, less than a minute. They put him on ambulance and left."

Police are now on the look-out for two suspects, described as a light-complexioned African American man, projected to be 6 feet tall and 180 pounds, who was wearing a gray hoodie, black pants and a blue Carolina baseball hat. The second was an African American man in a checkered black and white shirt.

Police spokesman Sonny Jackson says:

"Everybody in this world has a camera nowadays, so if anybody has any pictures that might assist us, we'd like those as well."

We just do not understand what is going on in this country anymore.

For all of those people injured or affected in any way by this horrific event, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

We just hope authorities are able to quickly apprehend the individuals responsible, and they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Jennifer Lawrence Honors President Clinton At The 2013 GLAAD Media Awards! All Of List Night's Winners HERE!

Posted: 21 Apr 2013 09:19 AM PDT

What an INCREDIBLE night!

The 2013 GLAAD Media Awards were held last night at the JW Marriott in El Lay, where the likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio, Charlize Theron, Betty White, Darren Criss, and host Drew Barrymore honored films like Perks of Being A Wallflower, shows like The New Normal, and the former leader of the free world himself, Bill Clinton, for the advancements they've made toward promoting equality and progress for for the LGBT community!

And who better to introduce the ex-President with the Advocate for Change Award than the always HIGHlarious and charming J-Law?!

The Academy Award-winning starlet, who hit the stage Harvey Weinstein and First Daughter alum Chelsea Clinton, apparently flubbed Bill's name during her speech, but the Commander-in-Chief took it in stride, and while accepting his honor, even joked:

"I don't know why Harvey made Jennifer do that. She really was like 2-years-old when I became president. I met her backstage and she looked like she was touring the Museum of Natural History."

"It's sort of humbling when you get to be my age when your child knows more than you do about everything. Chelsea and her gay friends have modeled to me how we should all treat each other regardless of our sexual orientation or any other artificial difference that divides us. Many of them come and join us every Thanksgiving for a meal. I have grown very attached to them. And over the years, I was forced to confront the fact that people who oppose equal rights for gays in the marriage sphere are basically acting out of concern for their own identity, not out of respect for anyone else. You are the agents of change. I got this award tonight, because I was the object of your affection - or not, as the case may be. My daughter led me to support the marriage equality law in New York when we were debating it, and to oppose North Carolina's denial of marriage equality, and to do all these other things. So I want to thank her too. Thank you, GLAAD. Thank you, Chelsea."

AH-MAY-ZING!

We hope that the rest of the evening was filled with just as many laughs, good times, and a shared passion for progress!

Congratulations to all the winners, which are listed for your viewing pleasure, along with both Jennifer and President Clinton's speeches...AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Texas Fertilizer Plant Had 270 TONS Of Dangerous Explosives Inside It!

Posted: 21 Apr 2013 08:01 AM PDT

This just makes all of the death, injury and destruction all the more senseless, as it's now clear that this horrific accident could have been prevented.

We were devastated Wednesday night when a massive explosion in a fertilizer plant leveled the town of West, Texas, leaving at least 14 dead and countless others hospitalized.

While there's still no clear explanation for what happened, early suspicions were that plant caught on fire because of industrial reasons, and now, it's being reported that those reasons involve the utterly RIDICULOUS and illegal amount of ammonium nitrate being housed there!

Federal officials at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security regulate that fertilizer plants disclose amounts of the substance over 400 pounds, as it can be used to make bombs. West Fertilizer had 270 TONS, which means that it was 1350 times over the limit.

Worse yet?

As Representative Bennie Thompson explains:

"This facility was known to have chemicals well above the threshold amount to be regulated under the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards Act (CFATS), yet we understand that DHS did not even know the plant existed until it blew up."

Un-effing-believable.

Is there anything else that can be said, when this kind of flagrant disregard for the public's safety ruins the lives of so many?

Our heart goes out to everyone affected by this unspeakable tragedy.
