For as much money as consumers spend on products to make us smell good, you’d think…well you’d think more people would smell good. Nope. We’re living among some stank folk.

Emerald Catron — Sat, 01 Sep 2012 15:00:39 +0000

Every day you should find something to be grateful for.

Although the idea that Tim Storms could do that if he wanted to probably adds to the excitement of seeing him in concert.

Rihanna Unfollows Chris Brown on Twitter

Jessica Sager — Fri, 11 May 2012 17:45:18 +0000

Rihanna has some interesting priorities. The ‘Where Have You Been’ singer, who’s been ill enough to get hooked up to an IV lately, has finally cut off social media contact with ex Chris Brown. It wasn’t the fact that he beat her until she was bruised and bloody back in ’09 that did the trick, nor was it his heavily photographed romance with current flame Karrueche Tran.

What did it take for Rihanna to leave Breezy’s Twitter be? It was a thinly-veiled diss track.
