Saturday Fluffernutter: The Making a Tweet of Myself Edition
All the fluffy news about those nutty celebrities
Bad week for the Beib. After a number of mini scandals, such as showing up at his hotel shirtless (and pants around his thighs, savant like), getting kicked out of a London Hotel for trying to sneak underage friends in to his 19th birthday party and showing late for a concert, Justin Beiber took to twitter to spout off. He comes off sounding like a spoiled brat, upset by all the good fortune that has befallen him.
“… judge me on the facts, judge me on the music…” tweeted the twit. OK, I’ll bite: the fact is, your music sucks.
Now, tweet off, and take your bad haircut and low hanging pants with you.
Kevin “Elmo” Clash, puppeteer and accused child diddler, has asked that three complaints of inappropriate sexual conduct be thrown out of court. His lawyers filed a motion last Friday in Manhattan asking the complaints be dismissed due to statute of limitations having expired.
Because nothing says not guilty like a technicality. Let’s hope the judge says no, and either the three now adult men or Clash can have their day in court.
From the quality = repetition file:
Fresh off her Oscar for singing the James Bond theme Skyfall, Adele has been contracted to do the theme song for…. the next Bond film.
Canadian Rap-tor Drake caused a stir this week when he dropped, literally, $50,000 at a Charlotte strip club.
The entertainer apparently showed at the Cameo nightclub with his posse and “Basketball Wives LA star” (that’s a joke, surely) Draya Michelle. According to TMZ, Drake pulled out a box of cash and made it rain money inside the club. Pictures from the club show patrons standing in an inch of dollar bills.
Canadians, who claim Drake as their own, are left wondering, where did we go wrong? And why doesn’t he blow that $50,000 somewhere locally, like say, the Airport Strip?
Justin Beiber update. Beiber passed out after his London show Thursday, and was taken to hospital for observation.
We know this because he tweeted a picture of him lying in a hospital bed… shirtless and with the sheets low enough to show an inch of underwear. Sigh.
Oh, oh, trouble at Boy Scout camp. Canadian “singer” Carly Rae Jepsen has pulled out from performing at the National Summer Jamboree in West Virginia this July. Jepsen is upset about the Boy Scouts position on gay rights, which is they are not 100% all in for them, and has cancelled the previously agreed to performance. While Jepsen is big on gay rights, her concept of contractual obligation seems to leave something to be desired.
The real question is, however, what is the Boy Scouts doing booking a 27-year old who dresses like a slutty school girl?
Very bad news this week from TV’s Rhoda, Valerie Harper. Harper has announced she has terminal brain cancer, with months left to live.
Harper played Mary Tyler Moore’s neighbour, Rhoda for four years, before moving on to her own show for another five years. In 2009 Harper was diagnosed with lung cancer. The new diagnosis is for “leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, a rare condition that occurs when cancer cells spread into the fluid-filled membrane surrounding the brain.”
Stompin’ Tom Connors (1936-2013).
Canadian music icon Stompin’ Tom Connors passed this week at his home in Peterborough. Connors was a true folk singer, writing and performing songs about average people and small Canadian towns. He accompanied himself by stomping his booted foot on a piece of plywood, hence the sobriquet “Stompin'”
Connors, who was born in Newfoundland, raised in PEI and spent the majority of his adult life living in Ontario, was a strongly Canadian patriot. Connors was 77-years old and died of natural causes. He left a message for his fans, written in his last days which was posted on his website after his passing.
