Never let anyone tell you that it’s not real out here in these streets. It just got real, son. The Star-Banner of Ocala (via WhatIFeelIsHot) is reporting that two managers of a Domino’s Pizza restaurant in Lake City, in north-central Florida (and WHERE ELSE, really?), have been charged with burning down a rival Papa John’s location. The motive? Police say one of the men admitted that he believed with his competitor out of the way, more pizza lovers would flock to his restaurant. The Papa John’s was gutted in the Oct. 20 fire. Both men – Sean Everett Davidson, 23, and Bryan David Sullivan, 22 – were booked on an…Read more

Alright, whether you are a Belieber or not, do you think it’s fair to put Justin Bieber behind bars for up to five years because he got his start singing songs by other people on YouTube? No way! But a new bill that’s getting passed around Congress, S.978, would make it a felony to post videos that contain copyright-infringing music. It’s not just Bieber who has been a party to this trend, but thousands of aspiring musicians and even just kids having fun. Still, Bieber is certainly the biggest star these days who has his career thanks to YouTube, but if the bill had been passed, he could have faced…Read more

The CBS Eye, one of the most successful and identifiable symbols in history, turns 60 today. The Eye, which was first introduced during the Network’s station breaks on Saturday, October 20, 1951, will be celebrated today on-air and on CBS.com and CBSNews.com. By 1951, CBS Television had seized the broadcasting spotlight, debuting “I Love Lucy” among other shows that year, and CBS President Frank Stanton felt the time had come for a distinct identity for CBS Television by means of establishing an on-air symbol. The man behind the design, Bill Golden, was inspired while driving through Pennsylvania Dutch country. He was intrigued by the hex symbols that resembled the human…Read more

It may have been a long time since most people last listened to a cassette tape, but the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) just gave cassettes a crushing blow. No longer will “cassette tape” be included in the Concise edition of the OED. “It was so past its prime that it was not worth keeping it in,” editor-at-large Jesse Sheidlower told USA Today. To make matters a bit worse for those put off by the removal decision, words like “retweet,” “cyberbullying,” “sexting” and “mankini” are being added. Seriously, mankini? “Cassette tape” will, however, still remain in the extremely large unabridged version of the OED. While it’s true that cassette tapes aren’t a best seller…Read more

I saw the TMZ heading, “Youuuuuuuu got arrested”, and died laughing. However, I’m sure the rap super star doesn’t have much to laugh about right now. According to TMZ, Soulja boy was arrested at 3:15 AM, for a traffic violation. But Police had more than a traffic violation on their hands. The cops told TMZ that there was “a substantial amount of marijuana and cash inside the vehicle”. The Washington Post says that were also guns inside the vehicle, but regardless, the arrest was “smooth and cordial”. The 21-year-old rapper is currently being held in Carroll County Jail until his hearing on Tuesday.This speeding ticket turned drug bust could mean…Read more

Should Hollywood give Mel Gibson another chance? Robert Downey Jr. seems to think so. The Iron Man star turned his American Cinematheque tribute into an attempt to rescue the former A-lister’s career at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Friday night. During Gibson’s presentation at the star-studded event, he recalled being warned about hiring Downey for Air America in 1990 due to Downey’s tumultuous private life. Downey always credited Gibson for giving him a second chance during his struggle with substance abuse. After accepting his award, Downey spoke about his past and asked the crowded ballroom to give Gibson a break. “Unless you are without sin—and if you are, you are…Read more

The Ellen Degeneres Show is easily one of the best and most exciting daytime talk shows around and yesterday, something happened that has got the whole world talking! We saw the second Nicki Minaj… and she’s only eight years old! Eight-year old Sophia Grace and her five-year-old cousin Rosie came on the show to sing and dance to Nicki Minaj’s hit “Super Bass” after Ellen had heard about their YouTube video that has garnered over 7 million views where they perform the same song. The two girls are absolutely adorable in their pink tiaras and tutus as Sophia raps and sings with the prowess of… well… Nicki Minaj. But perhaps…Read more

Since 1995, Superman fanatic Herbert Chavez has undergone multiple cosmetic surgeries on his lips, chins, and thighs in order to increase is likeness to the Man of Steel. Chavez also received rhinoplasty to transform his nose to look more like the late Christopher Reeeves’ and took injections to lighten his skin. Despite his resemblance to Superman, Chavez is no Clark Kent. The avid comic book fan is a self-proclaimed pageant trainer and possesses a large amount of Superman memorabilia, but lacks the ability to fly and shoot heat-ray lasers from his eyes. The Filipino’s neighbors are supportive of Chavez’s act because he keeps the children entertained and teaches them positive morals….Read more
