Earlier today the newly appointed Pope Francis addressed the entire College of Cardinals, in the first of a series of formal events to really accept the former Argentinean Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s new position and name. He asked the church to “not cede to the bitterness and pessimism that the devil offers us every day." Instead, it must "find new ways to spread the word of God to every corner of the world." Though it was clearly a rousing speech, the media is mainly only paying attention to one thing: Pope Francis straight up stumbled while standing from his throne. Read More »
Dave Grohl is known as a talented drummer, guitarist, singer and humorist. His musical career has spanned 2 decades and has been incredibly entertaining to follow.

Nevada Lawmaker, Joe Hogan, is set to introduce a bill to the state Assembly today that for the legalization of marijuana.

Justin Bieber is not having a good month. He had a bad birthday, was late to his own concert, fainted on stage, had a scuffle with paparazzi, and now his hamster has died! Well to be fair, it was his old hamster that he gave as a gift to big time Belieber Tori McClure almost four months ago after having the pet rodent for about one and a half months. Pac was a big hit on the “Believe” tour meet and greets, and became an Internet sensation. He even had his own Twitter account. But alas, Pac has passed on and (probably) enjoyed his short stint in the spotlight. Read More »
Steve Carell is making the rounds this week to promote his new film The Incredible Burt Wonderstone and he stopped by ESPN’s “Sportscenter” long enough to reintroduce fans to his character Brick Tamland of Anchorman fame. This is a nice treat for fans considering the sequel to the popular comedy is due out soon and “Brick Tamland” was the role that made Carell a household name. In Anchorman, Brick was a slow newscaster who said very random things that have become iconic catch phrases to this day. Carell was challenged to deliver some off of the top of his head during the show’s “top plays” segment and it certainly garners a ton of laughs from all involved. Read More »

Last night pop star Taylor Swift kicked off her "Red Tour" in Omaha, Nebraska, complete with at least 10 costume changes, some of which have made it seem that the 23-year-old singer is trying to ditch her "good girl" image for a more mature look. Among these outfit changes, Swift was seen sporting a sexy black corset-like jumpsuit, showing off her long legs with little left to the imagination. Of course another outfit involved the main theme of "Red," showing off how fierce the "I Knew You Were Trouble" singer has become. Luckily there seems to have been no mention of Harry Styles in any way during last night's performance, but there are still 6 more months left of the long-awaited tour. That is plenty of time for some great Swift controversy that we are all so used to now. Read More »

It seems like marriage proposals are getting more and more elaborate these days. When this young Polish woman went to a movie theater to see a film, she was probably not expecting to see her face flash across the screen, let alone her boyfriend acting out some intense action scenes. About two years ago, a man made a fake romantic comedy trailer that turned into a proposal, but this Polish fellow took it to the next step by adding a layer of suspense. He even spliced in some scary clips from movies like The Grey and The Bourne Ultimatum to make it seem more like a real trailer. Though most of the video is in Polish, you still feel the suspense throughout this engagement. Read More »

After x-rays came back showing the sprain, Bryant became irate with Jones, calling his playing "dirty and dangerous." Read More »

The judge has ruled that a new trial is necessary and that he did not properly instruct the jury. Apparently the 9-3 decision was not based on whether pregnancy discrimination was a significant reason in the producers' judgment to keep Cochran from rejoining the cast after the birth of her child.
