<P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/rihanna/artist.jhtml">Rihanna</a> has raised a lot of eyebrows this week with her latest body modification: a tattoo that reads <a href="/news/articles/1677937/rihanna-tattoo-tweet-thug.jhtml">"Thug Life"</a>, in honor of late hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur. While 'Pac had the words emblazoned across his abdomen, Rihanna opted to write them across her knuckles in what appears to be glow-in-the-dark ink.
Say what you will about whether the pop princess is living the kind of rising-up-from-the-streets life Shakur was honoring by splashing the name of his cre...

“Sex and the City” actress Cynthia Nixon recently took on the role of a cancer patient for a new Broadway show called “Wit.” And get this….the 45-year-old actually shaved her head COMPLETELY BALD to make the role even more convincing!
Nixon, known for her trademark red locks, debuted the new look on “Live with Kelly” earlier this week.
“So what’s new?” Kelly Ripa quipped, obviously in reference to Nixon’s shockingly bald head.
After Kelly complimented Cynthia on the shape of her head, the actress said, “I thought it was kind of gonna be no muss-no fuss, but I have to shave it every day! It’s got kind of a five o’clock shadow, and you don’t want to go on with that. I was always kind of curious to se...

Miley “Can’t Be Tamed” Cyrus surprised her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth with a HUGE penis cake at his birthday party at Club Icon in L.A. last Saturday (Jan 21), and of course TMZ has obtained a series of (unsurprising) photos showing the former Disney star posing provocatively with the erotic birthday treat.
And just in case you were wondering … some party goers snitched to TMZ that Miley was “drinking alcohol and partying all night,” despite the fact that she’s only 19 years old, 2 years under the legal drinking age.
SMH @ everything about this situation: The penis cake. The underage drinking. The fact that Miley is dead set on proving to the world that she’s a wild child. Everything. SMDH @ EVERYTHING!
Check out the (somewhat NSFW) photos f...

And we thought sick sh*t like this only happened in the movies…
A Florida man was recently arrested and charged with murder after killing another man and eating parts of his body, including his eye and pieces of his brain!
Tyree Lincoln Smith (pictured above) was taken into custody after his cousin turned him over to authorities.
The body of Angel Gonzalez was found on the third floor of an abandoned building in the New England town, and a medical examiner ruled the cause of death as blunt force trauma.
The perp was turned over to the police by a cousin, who claims Smith turned up at her house on December 15 and said he wanted to “get blood on his hands,” before heading to the apartment building where he used to live.
The next day, he allegedly returned to his cousin&#...

Terrell Owens opens up about being a broke & unemployed athlete, his rumored suicide attempts, baby mama drama and more in the latest issue of GQ Magazine.
Read a few excerpts from his interview below:
On suicide attempts:
“The hospital released me that night. If they thought I was suicidal or I hadn’t been conscious, you ask yourself, would they have let me go that night? … But that doesn’t mean I don’t get real down. I’m human; that’s what people don’t realize. I may be a public figure, but really, I’m just like a guy who could be in your family and have some difficult things happen to him.”
On blowing $80 million dollars:
“I hate myself for letting this happen. I believed that they had my ...

Not such a Smooth criminal, eh?
Michael Jackson was recently arrested for pickpocketing at a Moscow subway station.
A 50 year-old Canadian man (who goes by the same name as the late pop star) was caught by cops stealing a wallet from a woman’s purse.
“Standing on the platform, the man stole a wallet from the purse of one of the passengers. Police officers witnessed the crime – they arrested the thief red-handed.”
Jackson was taken to the fifth police department for further investigation. The Investigative Committee of the Interior Affairs Department of the Moscow Metro filed a criminal case against the Canadian national in accordance with Part 2, Article 158 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation (Theft).

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton was selected to cover the February 2012 issue of Esquire Magazine, where he talks about political topics such as the potential Republican candidates, the Clinton Global Initiative and why he thinks President Barack Obama has the upcoming 2012 election in the bag.
Check out the highlights from the interview below!
On GOP candidates Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney:
“With someone like Newt Gingrich, it’s a different kettle of fish. Because as a private citizen he was for certain important health-care reforms and believed in climate change and believed there had to be a strong reaction to it. And now he’s just like Romney. Neither one of them can say what they believe to be true and get nominated. Romney’s still trying to figure out w...

Police in Florida say a 15-year-old girl called 911 to report that her mother was having sex with her boyfriend, and that she could hear them loud and clear.
According to the police report (obtained by The Smoking Gun), the snitch teenage girl and her mother were questioned at their Panama City home, where they had gotten into a “verbal altercation.”
Acknowledging that “there was no form of abuse or neglect in the house,” the girl (who sounds like a total nark!) told responding officers that she “felt disrespected” by her mom, and wanted to go to a local Christian children’s shelter “because she heard her mother having sex.”
The girl’s 35-year-old mother explained to police that she had invited her boyfriend over and “sometime ...

A Georgia mother was recently arrested and charged with misdemeanor cruelty for allowing her 10-year-old son to get a tattoo, according to Atlanta news station WSBTV.
Chuntera Napier of Cobb County says she just couldn’t say no to her son Gaquan when he asked her if he could get a tattoo in honor of his older brother who died after being hit by a car, and she had no idea that allowing him to do so was illegal.
“It made me feel good to know that he wanted his brother on him,” Napier said, adding that her family is still grieving the death of her 12-year-old son Malik, who was hit and killed two years ago by a teenage driver in nearby Macon County.
“My son came to me and said, ‘Mom, I want to get a tattoo with Malik on it, rest in peace.’ What do I say to a child who wants to rememb...

Craig Bellamy never had a price tag to justify when he returned to Liverpool from Manchester City in August - only a score to settle with himself after one previously unfulfilling season at Anfield.
When Bellamy left for West Ham United in 2007, his departure was largely met with the indifference reserved for a player who had given it his best shot at the club he loved but came up short.
In fact Bellamy's best shot is often remembered as the one he took at then team-mate John Arne Riise with a golf club on a team-bonding trip before a Champions League game in Barcelona, though differences were spectacularly settled as both scored in Liverpool's subsequent win at the Nou Camp.
So when Kenny Dalglish took advantage of Bellamy's broken relationship with Manchester City manager Roberto Manc...

We know your first question (like ours) might be “Who the hell is Tim Gunn?”…..but don’t worry about that too much for now.
Just try to focus on the fact that a living, breathing man actually admitted to a nearly 30-year dry spell. Yikes!
The “Project Runway” fashion guru revealed Tuesday on ABC’s daytime talk show “The Revolution” that he hasn’t been between the sheets with anyone for 29 years. That’s fine with him.
“I haven’t had sex in 29 years,” he said. “Do I feel like less of a person for it? No. Not even remotely.”
Gunn, 58, said that his “very personal” reasons for abstinence have to do with an “intense” and psychologically damaging past relationship. “My partner ended it, saying that, quite frankly, he was impatient with my sexual performance,” he said.

Having trouble with your spouse? Need something to help relieve all that extra stress from the job? Or do you just happen to be alone and looking for a little stimulation in your life?
Well we may have the perfect thing for you: the Fleshlipad Holder!
The adult toy will allow men to have sex with their iPad and supposedly has the same feeling as a real-life woman. (However, we seriously doubt that.)
According to Gizmodo, the product is currently being developed and still has to be approved.
“It’s another exciting product we have in development at the moment. We are always looking to improve our user experience and this will be a way to take it to another level. Continue watching Fleshlight.com for it.” Fleshlight COO Brian Stubin stated.
