Woman Arrested After Attacking Times Square Desnuda

Woman Arrested After Attacking Times Square Desnuda

On Saturday afternoon, a crazed woman attacked one of Times Square’s topless women, or desnudas, punching her and calling her a “nasty whore,” the New York Post reports. Both women were arrested.

According to the Post, Amanda Roman, 23, of the Bronx, was attacked by a woman who called herself “Russia,” but who police sources later identified as Angela Portalatin, 27. Roman was talking to a female tourist who was asking whether she would pose with her husband when Portalatin attacked her.

“I was talking to her. I asked how much is it? She said, ‘Whatever you can give,’” Donna Myer, of Florida, told the Post. “I didn’t have no money. I said, ‘Let me go to the bank.’ The girl turned around, who was walking by, and said: ‘You’re a nasty whore! You disgust me!’ Then she just came over and started beating the hell out of her!”

Myer caught the attack on video.

“Some girl from out of nowhere said, ‘You nasty! I don’t like the way you look,’ and then punched her in the face for no reason,” another tourist, Mitchell Norman, 29, told the Post. “She knocked her out of nowhere.”

“It’s like none of her business that she is walking around topless,” he said.

Earlier this month, Mark Walters, a Bank of America executive from South Carolina, was arraigned on misdemeanor assault charges after attacking a pair of desnudas who he thought had picked his pocket.

Moses Malone Is Dead At 60

Moses Malone Is Dead At 60

Moses Malone died in his sleep early this morning in Norfolk, VA. He was 60.

Malone was among the first players to go from high school straight to the pros. He was drafted by the Utah Stars and signed a seven-year, $3 million contract (with most of the money being deferred) in 1974. However, Malone would only play in the ABA for two years before the 1976 NBA-ABA merger.

At the time of the merger, Malone’s rights were held by the New Orleans Jazz, who gave them up in exchange for their 1977 first round pick. (This is criminal in retrospect. Jazz at the time were trying to surround Pete Maravich with more talent, and 1976-77 was the Pistol’s best season—he averaged 31.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists—before his rapid descent into injury the following year under a heavy workload.) Without his rights tied up by an NBA team, Malone entered the special draft for ABA players, where he was taken by Portland. But the Blazers had also acquired Maurice Lucas, and traded Malone to the Buffalo Braves for a first round pick. The team had a young Bob McAdoo and a 20-year-old Adrian Dantley, but instead of letting that core grow with Moses, the Braves (AKA, the Clippers) traded him after two games for two future firsts. At the end of his gauntlet with the cursed and the stupid, Malone wound up in Houston.

Within three seasons, in 1979, Malone won his first MVP. Two years later, he carried the Rockets to the 1981 NBA Finals, where they lost to the Celtics. The following year, he won another MVP before being traded to Philadelphia. That first season, his Fo Fo Fo Sixers won the title, dropping just one game in the postseason. Imagine this happening today. A sitting MVP, one year removed from a Finals appearance, is traded in his prime, wins another MVP, and then guarantees his new team will go undefeated to the ‘chip. It’s unthinkable. Fo Fo Fo is the greatest NBA prediction.

Moses also tackled the shit out of Larry Bird in Bird’s famous “fight” with Dr. J:

Malone was inducted to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001.

Cops: Florida Man Trying to Buy Weed Accidentally Texts Narcotics Captain

A Florida man looking to score drugs was arrested this month after police say he mistakenly texted the captain of the Martin County Sheriff’s Narcotics Unit, The Washington Post reports.

“When 29-year old William Lamberson of Port St. Lucie wanted a ‘hook up,’ he began texting friends, or so he thought,” wrote the Sheriff’s Office on Facebook. “It turns out, Lamberson’s misdial connected him to someone who knows all too much about illegal drugs.”

Cops: Florida Man Trying to Buy Weed Accidentally Texts Narcotics Captain

“Whassup. Chillin here,” said Capt. Brian Bergen in the text conversation that followed. “You got any hooks for sum blow”

“I actually do man,” Lamberson allegedly replied. “Lol”

According to police, Bergen then arranged to buy cocaine from Lamberson. From WPBF:

They agreed to meet up at a pool hall in Jensen Beach. Instead of meeting up with an old friend, Lamberson came face to face with narcotics detectives.

According to Bergen, Lamberson was perplexed and asked deputies where his buddy was.

Lamberson now faces one count of a controlled substance with intent to sell.

Kim Davis Is In Her Office With the Blinds Closed

Kim Davis Is In Her Office With the Blinds Closed

Kentucky clerk Kim Davis has found a way to have her wedding cake and eat it too: she’s back in the office collecting a paycheck but she won’t be issuing any marriage licenses to gay couples, no siree.

It’s not exactly her choice—deputy clerks have already indicated they’re going to issue the licenses over her objections—but Davis is graciously refusing to take credit for her office doing the right thing, morally and legally speaking.

http://gawker.com/kim-davis-betr...

Davis told reporters Monday, “Any unauthorized license that they issue will not have my name, my title or my authority on it. Instead, the license will state that they are issued pursuant to a federal court order.”

And despite her refusal do her job and/or treat people equally, she also insists, “I love my lord Jesus, all people and my job.”

So which of her other clerkly duties, if any, will Davis be performing today? If this picture is any indication, I’d guess taking a nap.

If you can’t beat them, don’t join them!

Little Girl Scares the Shit Out of Herself; It's OK, We've All Been There

Sometimes you’re out, wandering around a parking lot in a cute pink jacket, seemingly without a care in the world, when a dark notion suddenly falls upon you: “I have no one to blame for this but myself.” Alternatively, sometimes you’re a toddler noticing your shadow for the first time.

In either case, the result may be screaming and falling down on the pavement. We’ve all been there, kid.

John Oliver: Your Right to an Attorney Is Mostly Theoretical

0
0

In the fair, just, and wise United States legal system, arrested individuals who are unable to pay for an attorney will have one provided to them at no cost. Americans can sleep well knowing we’re not animals who would make the neediest amongst us face the full resources of the state without a trained advocate. Just kidding! Here’s John Oliver to explain why the right to an attorney is basically just a mythical unicorn that farts apple-cinnamon rainbows.

First, some states grossly exaggerate the ability to “afford an attorney.” In four of them, there are people who qualify for government food assistance, but don’t qualify for a public defender.

Assuming an attorney is appointed to you, that person is very unlikely to win your case. Public defenders are so overburdened that some are taking on hundreds or thousands of cases in a year, leaving them just minutes to prepare you for your case (in New Orleans, it’s as low as seven minutes). And in that short time, they’ll likely advise you to take a plea bargain—which is understandable, because many of their offices are underfunded and don’t have the time or staff to investigate your case and exonerate you. Cool bonus: Some of their offices are full of roaches.

When you plead guilty (and 90-95% of poor defendants do, in this situation), some states will bill you for the attorney you couldn’t afford, and maybe even make you pay the prosecutor. (In this, as in many things, Florida is the worst.)

Oliver closes out his segment with an updated, more realistic version of your Miranda rights read by TV cops from Law and Order and The Wire. And Dennis Quaid.

Hope everyone had a pleasant weekend!

Mariah Carey Has Never Run as Fast as She Does When She's CGI'd

Mariah Carey Has Never Run as Fast as She Does When She's CGI'd

So here’s something that’s precisely as insane as you’d expect: a commercial for Game of War featuring Mariah Carey. The pairing makes sense because if there’s any musician video game fans cherish it’s Mariah Carey, and if there’s any song in her canon that best fits the tone of the game, it’s her saccharine 1993 single about self-love, “Hero.”

Just kidding, none of it makes sense, including her proportions.

Mariah Carey Has Never Run as Fast as She Does When She's CGI'd

TMZ posted the commercial today. It features “Hero” and Mariah lowering a crossbow...

Mariah Carey Has Never Run as Fast as She Does When She's CGI'd

...saying a saucy line of dialogue...

Mariah Carey Has Never Run as Fast as She Does When She's CGI'd

...and then running away. That gif is already posted above, but it’s so good, I want to put it in again:

Mariah Carey Has Never Run as Fast as She Does When She's CGI'd

(I don’t think that’s her body. Come to think of it, I’m not quite sure if that’s her face either.)

Mariah replaces Kate Upton as the voluptuous celebrity dropping by the war field in the game’s ads. Everyone gets a turn eventually, I suppose. Here’s the whole commercial:


There Is Currently a Convicted Murderer Living on the Roof of a Manchester Prison

There Is Currently a Convicted Murderer Living on the Roof of a Manchester Prison

A convicted murderer climbed up an 18-foot-fence and onto the roof of Strangeways prison in Manchester, England, Sunday afternoon, and remains on the roof more than 24 hours later, apparently protesting conditions in the jail.

Roads have been closed and prisoners are on lockdown in their cells, but Stuart Horner remains on the roof, from which he’s started to tear off loose pieces. During his protest, he’s also stripped down to his boxers, danced around and yelled things like “100 percent reoffender!” to his fellow inmates below.

“Go on, Stuart!” they yelled back, according to the Guardian.

Horner, 35, is in his third year of a 27-year sentence. He was convicted in 2012 of murdering his uncle with a shotgun after a family dispute.

He’s vowed to remain on the roof for 40 days and 40 nights, reports the Manchester Evening News, which has been providing minute-by-minute coverage of everything Horner’s doing, even when he’s just reading a newspaper (or, a minute later, “kicking back” and reading a newspaper). The roof is surrounded by a prison yard, so although Horner was able to climb a fence to access it (apparently cutting himself in the process), he doesn’t have any way of getting off the Strangeways grounds.

Horner’s complaints about conditions inside Strangeways are legitimate, though, according to one former inmate who told the M.E.N., “Prisons are rife with drugs and illegal mobile phones. The treatment of prisoners is inhumane and disgraceful with many of the wings locked down for 23 hours with little or no exercise. The prison officers used to say they simply didn’t have the numbers to control us. I strongly believe there will be riots.”

Horner’s mother has asked him to end his protest, saying she thinks his actions will “achieve nothing,” and negotiators sent his sister up to the roof in a cherry-picker Monday evening in an attempt to talk him down.

Strangeways was partially destroyed in a 1990 prison riot that lasted 25 days and killed 2. It began with a rooftop protest, and ended with police snatch squads storming the prison.

Presumably, Manchester police and prison officials are hoping not to do that again.

Unless You Love Bug Bites, You Might Want to Avoid the Times Square AMC Theater

Unless You Love Bug Bites, You Might Want to Avoid the Times Square AMC Theater

Listen, I know we’re all excited about seeing The Transporter Refueled and Maze Runner: Scorch Trials (???) this weekend, but we might have to watch that double feature somewhere besides our favorite movie theater in our favorite New York City neighborhood. According to multiple disturbing reports, the Times Square AMC Empire 25 is infested with bugs.

The swollen elbow above belongs to Cindy Feng, a moviegoer who recently published that photo, along with the following message, on the theater chain’s Facebook page.

—-WARNING TO PEOPLE IN NEW YORK—-

I’m not sure about the other locations but please please please DON’T GO TO THE TIMES SQUARE LOCATION AMC. It is called AMC Empire 25, they have many bad reviews and I was not aware of this until now. They gave me bed bugs and now I have to burn my house down and clothes. BEWARE IM TELLING YOU.

For what it’s worth, Feng’s sores don’t exactly resemble bedbug bites, which “are usually smaller, almost like zits, and they’re generally in a row of three or so,” says a Gawker employee and reluctant bedbug expert who I won’t name here to avoid subjecting him to leper-style ostracism. “It’s worse than an STD,” he added. So maybe it isn’t bedbugs at AMC, but consider the alternatives. Mosquitos? Spiders? No thank you.

Over the weekend, we heard from a Gawker reader named Joseph Matoske who found bites after seeing a movie at AMC Friday night with his girlfriend. Immediately after getting home, “we noticed we were both itchy and covered in bug bites,” Matoske wrote.

Matoske also reached out to Gothamist, and told them that he’s been in touch with an AMC representative “who claims they’re going to close down that section of the theatre.”

An AMC spokesperson told Gawker that the theater is investigating the complaints. “At AMC, we take aggressive, proactive steps, including regular inspections and inspections any time a bed bug is suspected. If any inspection comes back positive, the affected area is treated the same day by a third-party expert pest control company,” spokesman Ryan Noonan wrote in an email. “Out of an abundance of caution, increased proactive inspections are continuing at this location.”

Noonan did not immediately respond to an inquiry about whether AMC’s inspections have turned up any bugs, and an employee who answered the phone at the theater this afternoon said that all of its screens remain open.

It’s not the first time AMC has encountered bug problems: the Times Square location temporarily closed after employees found bedbugs in the seats and a patron complained about bites in 2010, and several other moviegoers have reported being bitten between now and then. “BED BUGS BEWARE THEY HAVE BED BUGSSSSSSSSSS...IF YOU GO THERE ALOT YOU HAVE A RISK OF BRINGING BED BUGS TO YOUR HOUSE SPREAD THE WORD BE CAREFUL THIS THEATER IS KNOW TO HAVE BED BUGS” a woman who identified herself as a former employee wrote on the Times Square AMC’s Google Plus page earlier this year.

“Almost every single time I went there to watch movies, I always gain contact with bed bugs” another attendee wrote on the page in 2013. Stop going there, man! There’s another theater literally right across the street.

Just yesterday, a woman named Onika Slocum tweeted that she’d been bitten as well.

Whatever the bugs are, it’s probably best to stay away for now.

If you want to stop paying your cable company $100/month for channels you don’t watch, it might be time to cut the cord.

Delta State University Professor Shot and Killed While Sitting in His Office

Delta State University Professor Shot and Killed While Sitting in His Office

A professor at Delta State University was killed Monday by an active shooter on the school’s campus.

According to the AP, the professor was sitting in his office in an on campus building called Jobe Hall when he was shot.

Officials have so far declined to identify the professor, who was pronounced dead earlier this afternoon. Via the AP:

Murray Roark, a deputy coroner in Bolivar County, says the professor killed Monday was a white man in his 50s. He would not identify the professor, who was killed in an office inside Jobe Hall.

University spokeswoman Jennifer Farish also declined to identify the dead person, saying it was still an “active situation.” It’s unclear whether anyone else is wounded.

It’s still unclear whether the professor was targeted or whether the shooter has been identified or apprehended—though it seems unlikely: the campus is still on lockdown.

Update 3:30 p.m.

The professor has been identified as Ethan A. Schmidt, an assistant professor of American history, the New York Times reports.

How Bespectacled Doofus Rick Perry Fooled Every Dumb Pundit in America

Rick Perry, a doofus, became the first Republican presidential candidate to drop out of the 2016 race on Friday. After failing to raise enough money to pay his campaign staffers, and faced with the prospect of spending his second nationally televised debate at the equivalent of kids’ table, the former governor of Texas had little choice but to bow out.

The 2016 race was not Perry’s first rodeo, nor was it the first time he lost a rodeo in a humiliating fashion. So why is it that after Perry’s embarrassing 2012 campaign, and before his embarrassing 2016 campaign, it became hip, in the political press, to declare that Rick Perry was now a serious man with a legitimate shot at the presidency?

“Everything Is Aligned”

Mesmerized by Mr. Texas’s new glasses, Time columnist Zeke Miller asked in the summer of 2013, “Can Anyone Stop Rick Perry In 2016?”

As we now know, the answer to that question turned out to be, “yes, anyone — literally anyone at all — could stop him.” At the time, that was apparently not clear. Miller argued:

It looks like everything is aligned for Rick Perry to be the Republican nominee for president in 2016.

He’ll be a 14-year retired governor of a prosperous state with a long list of accomplishments following on a former Senator who has demonstrated difficulty managing the federal government. He can start his campaign early this time and has his back condition under control (so no pain, or painkillers). He’s run for president once before—a tried and true way to build name recognition. And there’s been a Texan on the ticket in six of the last 14 presidential cycles—and there were two in 1988. He’s a prodigious fundraiser, tapping into Texas wealth like no other.

In the real world, Perry the “prodigious fundraiser” couldn’t keep up with his rivals, especially the much more prodigious Jeb Bush, and he stopped paying his campaign staffers weeks ago, due to lack of funds.

“The New Rick Perry”

Miller was not the only pundit to swallow Perry’s “second chance” rhetoric. In August 2014, National Journal’s Michelle Cottle published an almost fawning profile of the candidate with the headline, “The New Rick Perry.” After twelve paragraphs on Perry’s glasses and how he came to wear them, Cottle went on to argue that Rick Perry had all the right stuff to win in 2016.

“If he runs again, Perry isn’t go­ing to be a di­let­tante cam­paign­er,” she wrote. Per Cottle, Perry was working hard (he went to Iowa more than once!); he stopped taking the “back pain medication” that he blamed for his fateful 2012 debate fuck-up; and also: “one Perry asset that was largely ob­scured in 2012 is just how charm­ing he can be one-on-one.”

Perhaps Rick Perry’s one percent of support in most polls represents the total number of voters who had a chance to spend some one-on-one time with Rick Perry. He didn’t seem to charm anyone else.

“Perry’s Biggest Advantage”

Elsewhere, David Frum at The Atlantic and Adam Wollner at National Journal argued that Perry’s military experience and foreign policy “expertise” would set him apart from the 2016 crowd.

“[T]here is one item in Perry’s back­ground that makes him a rar­ity in the pres­id­en­tial race: his mil­it­ary ser­vice,” Wollner noted in a piece tied to Perry’s official campaign announcement. He argued that this would help his 2016 chances by publishing several quotes from Perry’s campaign manager and Perry supporters saying that this would help his 2016 chances.

Frum’s take, published in October 2014, was that Perry’s “biggest advantage in 2016” would be his foreign policy credentials. You see, “unlike many Washington-based competitors for the foreign-policy-hawk vote, Perry has not left any fingerprints on the budget plans that are cutting the Army and Marines to their smallest size since 1940.”

Perry did not get the chance to tout this accomplishment, because his poll numbers never afforded him an invitation to a prime time GOP debate.

“Political Resurrection”

Kate Nocera at Buzzfeed and Dana Bash at CNN predicted in the summer of 2014 that the border crisis would be Perry’s “second act.” Sources “close to Perry” told Nocera that publicly pushing to secure the border would give Perry “the chance to change the subject from his ‘oops’ moments and remind people why they thought he had a good shot before his 2012 dreams were derailed.”

Bash predicted that Perry’s tactic of calling out President Obama could be “political resurrection.” At a congressional hearing in July 2014, Perry said, with his typical complexity: “My message to President Obama is to secure this border, Mr. President. Finally address this issue and secure this border.”

And the crowd went wild! (Perhaps.) But on immigration, Perry would be outflanked by the conspicuous racism of Donald Trump. It turned out GOP voters much prefer a television personality loudly advocating ethnic cleansing to a career politician promising merely to secure the border.

“Bespectacled and More Sober”

Pundits’ predictions that Perry would lead the 2016 field were ultimately based on feeling. He’s charming; he seems serious; he’s from Texas; Texas feels rich; something something Air Force vet. Where did all these positive feelings about Rick Perry, that were so absent during 2012, come from?

In August 2014, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin put it simply: Rick Perry had the look.

He was “looking defiant and in command” during a TV appearance to discuss his indictment, Rubin noted. He seemed “well-positioned for a second run.” Yes, Rick Perry looked different:

Even before the spurious indictment, Perry, bespectacled and more sober than his 2012 incarnation, was already showing he was not the candidate who ran last time around.

:)

Rick Perry seemed like a serious candidate to our nation’s political experts because he was wearing glasses.

Jack White and Patrick Carney Allegedly Squash Lame as Hell Beef

Jack White and Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney are in a feud because Jack White is mad that Patrick Carney plays blues also. Please keep reading for an update on their beef.

BEEF: Both white men; both play notably blues-inspired rock.
EVIDENCE OF BEEF: Last year, Jack White called Black Keys singer, Dan Auerbach, an “asshole,” in an email that was subsequently leaked, after finding out their children may attend the same school:

“That’s a possible 12 fucking years I’m going to have to be sitting in kids chairs next to that asshole. He gets yet another free reign to follow me around and copy me and push himself into my world.”

Jack White also talked about the Black Keys in a 2014 Rolling Stone cover story:

“There are kids at school who dress like everybody else, because they don’t know what to do, and there are musicians like that, too. I’ll hear TV commercials where the music’s ripping off sounds of mine, to the point I think it’s me. Half the time, it’s the Black Keys...”

DATE OF MOST RECENT MANIFESTATION OF BEEF: September 13, 2015.
LOCATION OF MOST RECENT MANIFESTATION OF BEEF: New York City, New York.
CAUSE OF BEEF MANIFESTATION: According to Carney, Jack White approached him in a bar and tried to “fight” him. According to White, who spoke to EW:

“Nobody tried to fight you, Patrick. Nobody touched you or ‘bullied’ you. You were asked a question you couldn’t answer so you walked away. So quit whining to the Internet and speak face to face like a human being. End of story.”

It sounds like it was probably a reasonable question, yes? A simple query between boring dorks. Patrick Carney, why won’t you tell Jack White what time it is? Patrick Carney, why won’t you tell Jack White what beers are on tap—is it because you can’t?! Patrick Carney—why won’t you tell Jack White where you purchased your leather jacket? Surely you don’t think you and Jack White will show up to the same event wearing the same leather jacket and, if that is your worry, you can decide to check in with each other. Jack White can text you “leather jacket” if he is wearing the leather jacket, and you can always have first dibs. OK?

CAUSE OF BEEF SQUASH: They talked for an hour Jack’s cool. All good.

All right, then.

500 Days of Kristin, Day 232: "I'm Very Petite" - Kristin  

Since she published her landmark advice column “Best Bathing Suit for Different Body Types” on the Official Kristin Cavallari App for iPhone and Android, Kristin Cavallari has made one thing clear: she considers herself to be petite. She’s not curvy; she’s not small-breasted; she’s not “pear shape.”

La dame est petite.

Here is a direct quote from “Best Bathing Suit for Different Body Types,” by Kristin Cavallari: “Petite: This is me.”

Today, in an exclusive interview with PerezHilton.com about “life, work, fashion, and her upcoming book Balancing In Heels,” Kristin further proved her ability to self-assess. From Perez:

On her go-to sexy outfit: Any form fitting dress. I’m very petite and get swallowed in clothes easily so I need to show off the bump to have any sort of shape. A dress with a pair of heels and I’m feeling pretty good!

Pretty very teeny tiny good.


This has been 500 Days of Kristin.

Pewdiepie Is Making A TV Show

Pewdiepie Is Making A TV Show

Things seem pretty weird for YouTube’s biggest star right now.

For months, Pewdiepie has been teasing a big THING happening this fall. In August, he said that whatever was coming up was going to force him to upload less often to his channel—from two videos a day, to one video a day (at least for the month of September.)

Last weekend, Pewdiepie flew into LA—and subsequently got featured on gossip website TMZ. TMZ wrote that it had heard reports that Pewds was in town to shoot a TV show. In response, Pewdiepie uploaded a video where he actually admitted that a TV show was what he was teasing beforehand:

You can also see him act bemused at his appearance on TMZ, a website that also reports on stars like Rihanna and Justin Bieber. But this is just the reality of things right now: Pewdiepie is a celebrity, and his following is probably bigger than more traditional film stars. It’s a different sort of celebrity, of course. One that doesn’t get mobbed by paparazzi or fans when in Los Angeles, as you can see in his own video.

“I can’t really say too much of what I’m doing [in Hollywood],” Pewdiepie said. “People are worried it’s going to leak into the media too soon.”

Today, Pewdiepie uploaded another vlog that actually showed some brief scenes from the set of the TV show (fast-forward to the 3 minute mark):

You see Pewdiepie go up to a bus and jokingly say, “I’m Pewdiepie. How can you not know me?” while a camera crew records. He then shows footage near the big Hollywood sign in LA, and says that the show’s intro is going to have famous landmarks in it.

“The more I remember what happened today, the more I’m weirded out,” Pewdiepie reflects at the end of the video.

Curiously, Pewdiepie also mentions that his monthly YouTube views have been going down “for a long time.” Given that, it’s not surprising to hear that he is branching out into things like TV shows and writing books. He’s gotta strike while the iron is hot, as it were.

So far, there aren’t many concrete details regarding Pewdiepie’s TV show. He does seem excited about it, at least, even if he seems a bit out of his element:


Don't Underestimate the Black Box Office

Don't Underestimate the Black Box Office

The new David M. Rosenthal thriller, The Perfect Guy, follows the story of a young, accomplished lobbyist named Leah, who has arrived at a crossroads in her love life: David, her longterm boyfriend, begins to doubt their future together. Leah is distraught—that is, until Carter comes along. Carter is, at first, the consummate gentleman: kind, good-looking, affectionate. But as these stories often go, he turns out to be the opposite of Leah’s dreams; he’s a psychopath who begins to obsessively stalk her. The Perfect Guy is a typical Hollywood thriller—except for two things: it features a majority-black cast and, perhaps even more surprisingly, it features a black woman in the lead role.

The film debuted this past weekend in theaters across the country, topping the North American box office. Out-performing horror flick The Visit (the first good movie by M. Night Shyamalan is a very long time) and defying all expectations, it raked in $25.8 million. The success of The Perfect Guy marks the fifth consecutive week in which a film focused on the interiority of black life commanded the US box office. In previous weeks, Straight Outta Compton, a biopic about rap group NWA, and War Room, a family-oriented Christian drama, held the top spots.

By Hollywood standards, all three films surpassed opening-weekend predictions. War Room, which had a production budget of $3 million, has already garnered $39 million domestically. Straight Outta Compton, which many expected to do well, has faired even better than out-of-touch studio executives anticipated; with a production budget of $28 million, the film has made $180 million worldwide in the four weeks since its debut (this, despite all the uproar that surrounded the accuracy of the F. Gary Gray-helmed feature). The success of these films are all the more astonishing given that summer is typically the time when comic-book blockbusters dominate theaters, from 1980’s Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (opening weekend: $10.8 million) to 2008’s The Dark Knight ($158 million) to Marvel’s endless onslaught of Robert Downey Jr-assisted superhero hits.

By non-Hollywood standards, the success of The Perfect Guy, Straight Outta Compton, and War Room is less surprising. Audiences of color have long yearned for visions that mirror their reality, their everydayness on the silver screen—even if it is a relationship thriller (the audience for The Perfect Guy was 60 percent black and 70 percent female). I remember coming of age in the 90s with images of blackness, in its varying splendor and imperfection, being reflected back at me: this ranged from Spike Lee’s early joints (School Daze, Mo Betta Blues, Crooklyn) to Eddie Murphy’s staggering run that began in the 1980s (Harlem Nights, Boomerang, The Nutty Professor). These were people I knew.

Not unlike this weekend, Murphy’s Coming to America—a 1988 film about an African prince who travels to New York City in search of love—debuted during summer and topped the box office, amassing $21 million its first weekend and dethroning the wildly popular Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which had been released the week before. Here was a film not grounded in race, but one that chronicled the travails of a twenty-something man hungering for independence and in search of The Perfect Woman. It was the typical love story remixed for Hollywood screens.

http://gawker.com/black-enough-1...

Which brings me to my point: not every black movie needs to be about race, and the sustained dominance of The Perfect Guy, Straight Outta Compton, and War Room is a reminder of that fact. Hollywood shouldn’t underestimate the power of the black box office—by which I mean, the economic potential of black movie-goers and the types of movies they want to see. It’s no longer surprising, or it shouldn’t be anyway, when movies like this do well. Not every film catered to a black audience—or any non-white group, for that matter—needs to be A Movie About Race (although, films like Dear White People are appreciated). There is often more power, for instance, in displaying the obstacles one teenage girl battles as she attempts to etch herself into the world (Pariah), or by simply showcasing the firm determination of friendship when old skeletons suddenly make themselves known (The Best Man). In these worlds, blackness is a default, not the butt of a joke or the root of a problem.

These three films are just the most recent examples in a long history of black films succeeding because they displayed an image of blackness that was not overtly race-specific. They weren’t the first to succeed on their own terms. And they won’t be the last.

Socialite Offers Ex-Husband a Special Wedding Gift: Wallpaper Made From His New Wife's Skin

Socialite Offers Ex-Husband a Special Wedding Gift: Wallpaper Made From His New Wife's Skin

A wealthy socialite who’s evidently having a hard time coming to terms with the dissolution of her marriage reportedly offered to skin her ex-husband’s new wife alive—for wallpapering purposes.

According to the New York PostNew York’s number one news source for crazy rich people doing crazy things—Nirit Resnick Varenbut and Josh Resnick divorced in 2012. The ensuing three years have, according to court documents, been a whirlwind of homicidal threats, Hamptons surveillance, and increasingly unhinged Facebook postings.

http://gawker.com/lawsuit-rich-d...

Resnick, a managing partner at Jericho Capital, married his current spouse, food writer Danyelle Freeman, the same year as his divorce from Varenbut. Ralph Lauren was reportedly in attendance, as was his daughter Lauren Bush. Not invited? Varenbut, who—if court filings are to be believed—has been exacting her revenge ever since the divorce.

Last summer, the East Hampton Star reports, she went so far as to rent an East Hampton home to better stalk her ex—despite an order of protection barring her from contacting him and his new family.

The restraining order specifically referenced threats made on Facebook, which were detailed in recent court filings, published by the Post:

The socialite ex-wife of a Manhattan hedge-fund boss launched a vicious harassment campaign against his current spouse, threatening to flay her and turn her into “wallpaper,” court documents and sources say.

“I want you to hurt, hurt, hurt,” Nirit Resnick Varenbut allegedly told her ex, Josh Resnick, in a post on the Facebook page of his second wife, online food writer Danyelle Freeman.

“I want to be the one who skins her alive. I can make wallpaper out of her.”

And more recently:

Varenbut lashed out again last month, telling Freeman she would “rot in hell” for posing in a Facebook photo with her son, court documents say.

“Josh Resnick married someone more evil than himself,” she allegedly wrote in a Facebook post.

The rich: they are different from you and me—they’re fucking insane!

Crabs Smoking Cigarettes: An Unfortunate Trend

Crabs Smoking Cigarettes: An Unfortunate Trend

A crab smoking a cigarette. To you this might sound like a funny intersection of human and crustacean; a comical delight destined for dorm room poster and tumblr blog. A viral image out of Philadelphia, however, paints a darker picture.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable death and disease for human beings in the United States. And for crabs? Sadly, the data just isn’t out there for tobacco-related death and disease among crabs.

This is, no doubt, part of the problem.

An image of a Philadelphia crab resident smoking a cigarette “went viral” this weekend, after it was posted to Reddit:

A crab—lonely, away from its fellow crabs—wandering North Philadelphia with a cigarette in its little crab claw, under cover of night. A harrowing scene. Maybe he was in the Fishtown area of North Philadelphia, to visit my friends Matt and Megan. Maybe he was in the Fairmount area of North Philadelphia, to visit someone else’s friends. No matter where he was, it’s clear that he had not yet met up with any friends, and was instead wandering alone, drunken?, high??, in North Philadelphia, and he was, yes, as you can plainly see: smoking a cigarette.

A funny joke, a sexy crab habit—or a dangerous trend?

This is not the first cigarette-smoking crab to “delight” the Internet with its degradation. You can find many images of crabs “smoking cigarettes” on the popular crab Tumblr “Crabs with cigarettes.” This page glamorizes the image of crabs—clearly manipulated, in many cases, by human intervention—smoking cigarettes. (There is also a subreddit dedicated to these photos.)

This popular YouTube clip is similarly manipulated to push our deadly habit upon our sexually dimorphic friends:

Yes, these crabs look cool as hell. Yes, they are sexy. But what of the longterm effects? What of the disease—the death?

You might think, “Yes, it is a funny joke to put a cigarette into a crab’s claw as if he is ‘smoking’ the cigarette, but have any crabs really picked up the habit? Is there any evidence that this has caused real change in crab smoking habits, beyond that filthy Philadelphia crab who, no doubt, would be on a dangerous path no matter what images he was subjected to while surfing the Internet?”

No.

I don’t have any more evidence.

Do you? If you do, please leave your pictures of crabs with cigarettes in the comments.

NYC Bus Driver Arrested for Allegedly Getting Drunk and Driving Bus on His Day Off

NYC Bus Driver Arrested for Allegedly Getting Drunk and Driving Bus on His Day Off

A New York City bus driver named Alexander Copeland was arrested Sunday for allegedly taking a drunken joyride down Long Island’s Northern State Parkway. Copeland was off-duty at the time and was not authorized to be driving the bus at all, much less driving it hammered.

Police stopped Copeland near exit 32, in Westbury, after several drivers made 911 calls about his erratic driving, CBS New York reports. A Metropolitan Transit Authority spokesperson told CBS that the bus was taken from somewhere near the MTA bus depot in Jamaica, Queens, where Copeland works, and which sits 15 miles west of the spot where he was stopped. Copeland blew a .20 blood-alcohol content reading before the arrest—more than twice the legal limit—according to the police.

The idea of a drunk person careening down the parkway in a mammoth city bus is scary enough without considering that Copeland is responsible for the lives of countless passengers and pedestrians in New York when he’s on duty. Ten people were killed in crashes involving city buses last year, according to the New York Times.

In June, the union representing bus drivers staged protests against a city law that holds drivers accountable for crashes involving pedestrians in crosswalks who have the right of way. The union agitated for an amendment to the law exempting city bus drivers from punishment in such crashes, arguing that following it strictly would cause delays. The New York State Senate passed a bill the same month that would protect bus drivers who kill pedestrians and cyclists from immediate arrest; fortunately, it died in the state assembly.

Getting people to work on time is not nearly as important as making sure they don’t die. Bus drivers, like everyone else on the road, are humans who are liable to commit the occasional (or frequent!) extremely bad decision, as Alexander Copeland’s case shows. They should be subject to the same safety laws as everyone else on the road, too.
