Miss Utah Demonstrates Why We Need to Create Better Education

It’s pageant time again, which means it’s time for another young lady with Vaseline on her teeth and dreams of gaining the prestigious title of Noble Laureate Miss America instead gets to become the laughing stock of the nation by displaying an inability to answer even the most simple of questions like “What did you eat for breakfast this morning?”

When asked by NeNe Leakes (I know) about the disparity between men and women’s pay and what it says about our society, Miss Utah, Marissa Powell, managed to demonstrate perfectly why such a disparity exists yet was unable to actually answer the question; instead giving a bumbling answer that ended with the phrase: “I think, especially the men are … um … seen as the leaders of this, and so we need to see how to … create education better. So that we can solve this problem. Thank you.”

The good news is that while I can’t tell you the name of the girl who actually won last night, I’ll remember the name ‘Miss Utah’ for at least another six hours or so.

George Lucas is Old & Confused

Proving that he’s still as retarded and out of touch as he was when he decided to greenlight “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” George Lucas accidentally referenced the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) yesterday at the Daytime Emmy’s when what he really meant was the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) which gave him an award for his film about the Tuskegee Airmen, “Red Tails.”

Later, Lucas clarified his statements: “It was an honest mistake, they both have a lot of black people. Did I mention I wrote Star Wars?

Kanye Magically Appears to Deliver Kim Kardashian’s Baby

Amidst allegations that Kanye West had sexual relations with 24-year-old model Leyla Ghobadi while Kim Kardashian was pregnant with his child, the couple have attempted to present a united front to the media as a demonstration of the strength of their relationship. And by that I mean Kanye flew to Switzerland to perform a surprise show on Wednesday at a Design Miami event during Art Basel in Switzerland, leaving Kim in Los Angeles to give birth any second, which is exactly what she did.

Kim delivered a baby girl at Cedars-Sinai on Saturday after going into labor on Friday, and “sources” claim that despite missing almost every other milestone in Kim’s pregnancy, Kanye was miraculously present, appearing like Jesus for the birth of his first child which I imagine went something like this:

” I know you’re a doctor and I’mma let you do you thing, but this is the greatest baby ever born. Now someone get me some forceps and a croissant.”

Justin Bieber’s Going to Space, And For the Last Time They’re Not Leaving Him There

Power 96.1's Jingle Ball 2012 - Press Room

When I first read about this, I was hoping that the U.N was finally putting some of their *cough* influence to good use and ridding the world of Justin Bieber; hopefully, throwing in Kim-Jong Un and Bashar Assad in for good measure too.

Yes, I did just compare Justin Bieber to the world’s most tyrannical despots. No, that’s not the reason he’s going to space. Justin actually paid money to be the butt of numerous jokes about how everyone hopes he’ll be blasted into the Sun by a  Virgin Galactic commercial space flight. Via the Guardian:

Bieber and his manager Scooter Braun were revealed to have enrolled with the entrepreneur’s programme via the medium of Twitter. “‘Great to hear @justinbieber & @scooterbraun are latest @virgingalactic future astronauts. Congrats, see you up there!” tweeted Branson. Bieber replied: “Let’s shoot a music video in SPACE!!”

Perhaps witnessing the ghostly spectre of  Earth as she spins fragilely against the backdrop of space will give Justin some perspective and he’ll pull up his pants and stop acting like an insufferable twat. Or maybe the ship will blow up. Either way, it’s a win-win.

Kim Misses Kanye’s Birthday Party, But Don’t Worry, She Can Always Instagram Him

Kanye West celebrated his 36th birthday on Saturday, and since his pregnant, soon-to-be-locked-in-the-custody-battle-of-the-century, baby mama, Kim Kardashian, is in Los Angeles, Kanye had his birthday party in New York. Because God knows nothing can ruin a good time like a pregnant woman.

But Kim and Kanye are soulmates and share such a deep, transcendental relationship that Kim knew she didn’t have to be there in person to wish him happy birthday or glare disapprovingly because she can’t drink or have fun, she simply instagrammed  the above photo collage of the couple during happier times with the deeply personal and private caption:  “Happy Birthday to my best friend, the ♥ of my life, my soul!!!! I love you beyond words!” to her 8,626,209 followers. I’m sure someone passed that along to him.

Paris Jackson Attempts Suicide, Fails

File:Paris Michael Katherine Jackson.jpg

Paris Jackson reacted exactly how I expected a 15-year-old to react if they’re we’re told they weren’t allowed to attend a Marilyn Manson concert: By slashing her wrists and downing a bunch of pills. You crazy kids and your cry-for-help suicide attempts. Whatever happened to doing drugs and getting pregnant by an older ex-con?

From TMZ:

Sources with an intimate knowledge of the situation tell TMZ … Michael Jackson’s daughter called a suicide hotline and the person on the other end was alarmed enough to call 911.

Our sources say in addition to cutting her right forearm, Paris had taken a large number of Motrin pills.

We’re told once Paris was taken by stretcher to an ambulance and then transported to a nearby hospital, she was placed under a 5150 psychiatric hold for 72 hours.

She received “numerous stitches” for the cut.

Paris “threw a fit” hours before her suicide attempt when she was told she wasn’t allowed to attend an Marilyn Manson show. We’re told she ran into her room screaming and slammed the door.

Obviously, this is a cry for help, who takes Motrin to kill themselves? And a meat cleaver? Talk about dramatic. Considering Paris was raised by a man who was quite literally a zombie in a drug-induced, waking coma knowing which drugs might actually kill you and which ones won’t  shouldn’t be too hard to figure out. Propofol anyone? Sorry, too soon.

Miley Cyrus is a Drug Using, Scantily Clad Adult Now You Guys

Miley Cyrus has released her latest single, We Can’t Stop, and she’s totally edgy and hardcore now you guys. Like, did you see this album cover? She’s like practically not wearing any clothes! Have you ever seen anything like that? Like, OMG! Oh, and Miley’s into drugs now too, because she’s super cool like that. Via Huffington Post:

On the new song from her upcoming album, Cyrus sings about “dancing with molly,” which is a slang term for MDMA, and makes an obvious reference to cocaine use when she sings, “Everyone in line in the bathroom/trying to get a line in the bathroom. “

But don’t worry all you slightly concerned and uninvolved parents who might think that Miley’s influence on your children might lead them into a life of drug use and sex, this is all just a big misunderstanding. From TMZ:

A rep for the song’s producer Mike WiLL Made It tells TMZ … the whole thing is a giant misunderstanding because what Cyrus is REALLY singing is … “Dancing with MILEY.”

Oh yeah that makes sense, dancing with Miley is wayyyyy cooler and makes so much more sense than an spoiled, desperate-to-separate-from-her-Disney-past, rich kid flaunting her drug use. “Why can’t ya’ll just dag-nab take me seriously, folks?” said Miley as she took off her top and lit up a joint. “I’m old enough to make babies.”
