Courtney Stodden’s music video is here! | Videogum

I am not embedding this music video, instead I am linking to this article that says everything needed to be said about it.

My absolute best thing about being an actor, reality star, or kid with rich parents is that there will always be some schmo that will want to help you make music. Every aspiring producer who isn’t spending their weekends hopping continents from pool party to pool party thinks that they are just one big hit away from stardom. And if they can get past the vapidity of making music for a famous person, they may have a decent shot of being propelled into the mainstream! Or hell, at least they’re gonna get paid.

Here are some of my favorite trainwrecks!

Paris Hilton - Stars Are Blind (2006)
Lindsay Lohan - Rumors (2004)
Heidi Montag - Higher (2008)
Bruce Willis - Respect Yourself (1987)
Eddie Murphy - Party All The Time (1985)
Billy Bob Thorton - Angelina [ed. note - :( ] (2001)
Corey Feldman - Honesty (1993)
Joe Pesci - Wise Guy (1998)

I found a more exhaustive list here.

Every time I accidentally type ‘haha’ with G’s, I’m subtly angry at Lady Gaga.

Think you know the difference between Arial and Helvetica? Know what makes a font serif or sans-serif? Are you a font of knowledge when it comes to fonts? Put your typesetting skills to the test.

1. A past tense and a past participle of pay¹. Grammatically correct but still infuriating enough to be totally justified in smacking a user of this word with intent to cause deep tissue bruising.

2. You may also tear off their eyebrows to make yourself a pair of tiny carpets.

ex. After you said that you “payed attention,” me and my whiffle ball bat “paid you a visit.”

A Google map search of the coordinates of what is suspected is the latest North Korean nuclear test reveals an interesting road leading to the site. The site was one of many, including prison camps , recently included on Google Maps. This site was named such because it was rumored to be where North Korea was going to conduct its latest nuclear test.

A second chart shows who's on TV talking about it.

Gun victim data from the 2010 FBI Uniform Crime Report.

The waves of press following recent horrific mass shootings in Connecticut, Colorado, and elsewhere have brought gun violence back onto the national agenda.

One thing that sometimes gets obscured in the debate, however: The victims of gun violence remain overwhelmingly African-American. Indeed, black people make up just about 13% of the population of the United States — but more than half of all victims of gun violence.

Black victims are overwhelmingly killed by handguns, and the congressional focus on semi-automatic rifles has no obvious connection to the violence plaguing cities like Chicago.

One factor in the intense focus on white victims may be who is leading the conversation. Here's a snapshot of the people talking about guns on cable news between January 29 and February 5:

(Data on cable news pertains to January 29, 2013 to February 5, 2013. In that period, 68% of the reporters and guests on MSNBC talking about guns were white; 78% on CNN; and 93% on Fox.)

He is my cat hero.

This is Caffrey, a grey Persian cat from Woking, Surrey in England.

He only has two legs — on the same side! — but he hops around like a boss anyway.

He went through some surgeries, and fought for his life. AND WON. BECAUSE HE'S A BADASS.

According to the Daily Mail, he lost one leg ten years ago in a car accident, and the other leg four months ago after developing a malignant growth.

And now he can run like the frickin' wind. You go, Caffrey.

My goodness this week has been nuts! We've had a very very sick Lily Mayo this week. She had a cold, which turned into bronchitis - fluid in her lungs. Three days with the vet getting pumped full of fluids and antibiotics and she's slowly starting to get better. If you follow me on Instagram, you've seen her sad pictures wearing the cone of sadness.  (Cone was to protect her from messing with the IV site on her leg). 
Anyways, with Lil slowly on the mend, and our stress level outta whack all week,  we've determined this weekend as a "family weekend". Basically, we don't do much other than snugs. Sometimes, you just need to sit at home for a few days and recoup. 
Here are a few finds to browse while we're snuggin' baby Lil. 
----- Do you guys read bentlily? She writes a poem a day. This one really resonated with me this week.  I've been a tornado of to-do list tackling, but now, I am le tired.
Clearly I'm not in to the Superbowl this year as I didn't even mention it in our weekend plans.  But, I am pumped for the PUPPY BOWL! Check out this year's line up. 
I couldn't take my eyes off this wedding. A true, grown-from-the-heart wedding with all the right stuff (and amazing photography!). I love weddings where it's clear that the focus is on getting married.
In the food and history realm this week, let's take a look at the influence of kitchen tools on man. In other words, "How forks gave us overbites and pots saved the toothless".
And finally, for your 90's fix, Dawson's Creek in the 1998 J. Crew catalog! -----
Wishing you a weekend of snugs! xoxo, K
p.s. Follow me on Vine! More videos coming this weekend now that Lily can move.

Koch: I wanted to get rid of New York’s graffiti problem, but I wasn’t in charge of the subways, the MTA was. I called the MTA into City Hall and told them they had to get rid of the graffiti. I presented them with a plan to do it: Kids were spray-painting train cars in the yards at night because there weren’t any fences. I told them, just put up a fence and put some dogs inside. They got scared, worried that the dogs would bite people, so I said, “OK, if you don’t want any chance of dogs biting people, get wolves.” That’s the problem with the new Liam Neeson movie, The Grey. There’s no recorded case of a wild wolf ever having bitten or attacked a single human being in North America.

I don’t believe that.
Well, it’s true. The next day Clyde Haberman of the New York Times came to me and told me he’d checked my statement and that there are records of domesticated wolves biting humans. I said, “I know that! I’m not talking about a domesticated wolf. I’m talking about wild wolves. Let’s have wild wolves protect the trains. If the wild wolves become tame, replace them with more wild ones.”

So you recommended that the MTA fight graffiti with wild wolves?
Yes.
