Here’s Two Deer Casually Crossing The Golden Gate Bridge At Rush Hour

by 33 mins ago

In San Francisco last night (September 5), traffic was slowed to a halt for commuters crossing the Golden Gate Bridge—but it wasn’t due to gridlock. This time, the slow pace was caused by a couple of deer who decided to use the bridge for their own outing!

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the California Highway Patrol received a call about the deer around 5:24 p.m. But by the time they arrived around 6 p.m., the two animals had already trotted their way across, toward whatever evening plans their Friday night held.

All the images show the commuters carefully slowing down to make sure the deer go unscathed. So, what might be the real story here is that a bunch of Friday night commuters were showing compassion!

Sometimes it takes a little nudge from the animal kingdom to help us get our priorities in order. Getting home quick is important sure, but not at the expense of these two adorable, unsuspecting deer.

Here’s a windy clip of the two on their journey across the bridge:

Happy travels my dears (had to)!

Katy Perry Is Bringing Charli XCX On Her Prismatic Tour, AKA Making All Of Our Dreams Come True

by 30 mins ago

We should’ve known this incredible news was coming when Katy Perry and Charli XCX were hamming it up at the VMAs, but it still comes as a wonderful surprise!

Katy Perry announced Twitter that her opener for the Prismatic tour’s upcoming European dates will be none other than Charli XCX.

Yup, we told you she’s an artist to watch.

Here they are chilling at the VMAs with Riff Raff and Sam Smith—Charli caption the Insta “Get ready….. ;)” and now we know why.

Katy is well-known for taking pop stars on the rise on tour with her for that opening slot, last year she brought both Tegan & Sara and country breakout star Kacey Musgraves out. Needless to say—none of these artists could fill an arena on their own, at least not yet—but touring with Katy gives them exposure to a whole new audience.

Let’s hope this chance gives the “Boom Clap” singer the chance to prove that she’s just as big as on her own as the hooks on Iggy Azalea‘s “Fancy” and Icona Pop‘s “I Love It.” If her sophomore album Sucker out October TK is any indication, she’s more than ready to be a full blown pop star.

Here’s the dates that Charli will join Katy:

February 16 – Barcelona: Palau Saint Jordi
February 17 – Montpellier: Park Suite Arena
February 20 – Lyon: Halle Tony Garnier
February 21 – Milan: Mediolanum Forum
February 23 – Prague: O2 Arena

A Guy Was Sent To Prison For Calling And Texting His Ex Over 20,000 Times

by 12 mins ago

Hey, there’s holding onto the past, and then there’s clutching it with an ice-cold-death-grip until you’re forced by the law to let go.

In France, The Guardian reports that a 33-year-old man will serve time in prison for texting and calling his ex-girlfriend approximately 21,807 times over a 10-month period.

Let me do some quick math… that’s an average of 73 calls or texts a day, and with 24 hours in a day that’s about 3 times an hour. How did he even have enough time to do other stuff?

After his girlfriend, a unnamed 32-year-old schoolteacher, broke off their relationship in 2011, the defendant was unable to cope with her decision. The unnamed defendant has been previously hospitalized for depression, but at the hearing in Lyon on Thursday (September 4), he took responsibility for his actions.

The man was calling and demanding that his ex-girlfriend thank him for the repairs or offer compensation for the work he did on their shared apartment, but now, even he must admit that “it was stupid.”

“At the time, my logic was that until she returns the money… or at least says thank you, I would not stop the calls,” he said at the hearing. “I tell myself, with hindsight, that it was stupid.”

Manuella Spee, lawyer for the victim, explained the measures her client took to shake off the unwanted communication.

“She tried to block her line, but he phoned her parents instead and her workplace,” Spee explained.

During a meeting held with a mediator, ...

Bruce Springsteen Will Make His Acting Debut On Netflix’s ‘Lilyhammer’

by 12 hours ago

The Boss can act?

We’ll all soon find out the answer to that question when Bruce Springsteen makes his acting debut next season on the Netflix original series, “Lilyhammer.”

The show stars E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt, who plays a mobster relocated to Lillehammer, Norway by the Federal Witness Protection Program after he testified against his mob boss. Tony Sirico of “The Sopranos” is also reportedly involved with the show.

Deadline Hollywood reports that the Born In The U.S.A. rocker will guest star as a mortuary owner on the show’s third season.

Diehard Springsteen fans, of course, will recall that the 64-year old legend played himself in the movie, “High Fidelity.”

The difference here, though, is the fact that this will mark the first time the multiple Grammy winner will play an actual fictional character.

We can’t wait to see Bruce in action on the small screen! We’re sure he’ll rock the role.

Ariana Grande Honors Her Grandfather With Emotional Performance Of ‘My Everything’

by 6 mins ago

Ariana Grande recently lost her grandfather to cancer, so it felt extra emotional when she performed “My Everything” at the annual Stand Up To Cancer fundraiser today (September 5).

The title track from her album is already a song fraught with loss and love, but it was palpable that Ariana felt something deeper tonight while she belted out the notes. She also let her followers know she was supporting the cause:

After performing the song with a live orchestra, she tweeted about sobbing her eyes out—it was clearly a trying night for the 21-year-old singer.

Losing anyone is hard, but Arianators took to Twitter to comfort her.

Watch her lovely, emotional rendition below. If you’ve lost anyone yourself, this will undoubtedly move you.


Kudos to Ariana for donating her time and talent to such a great organization.

Eminem Breaks Guinness World Record With ‘Rap God’

by 25 mins ago

Think it’s hard to break the Guinness Book of World Records mark for most words in a hit single? You better believe it is!

But, hey, that’s child’s play for “Rap God” Eminem, who fires off multi-layered, complex rhymes faster than a Gatling gun.

According to Billboard, the legendary Detroit rapper will be added to the record books for spitting an insane 1,560 words in 6 minutes and 4 seconds on the standout track from his The Marshall Mathers LP 2 album.

You remember how twisted your tongue got when trying to recite the lyrics, right?

“Me, I’m a product of Rakim, Lakim/Shabazz, Tupac N/ W.A., Cube, hey Doc, Ren/ Yella, Eazy, thank you, they got Slim/ Inspired enough to one day grow up, blow up, and be in a position/ To meet Run-DMC induct them into the motherf—in’ Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,” Em raps in the song’s extremely intricate second verse.

Congratulations, Eminem, you’ve blazed yet another trail for rap Stans to follow!

Snoop Dogg Teased His New Collaboration With Pharrell—Listen

by 13 mins ago

It’s not exactly a secret that Snoop Dogg and Pharrell Williams share a special sonic kinship with classic collaborative singles like “Beautiful” and “Drop It Like It’s Hot” under their belt.

So our level of excitement today (September 5) when the Doggfather previewed a snippet of an unreleased track featuring himself and Skateboard P in a vlog was off the charts! Flanked by longtime partner-in-rhyme Kurupt in what appears to be a home-based media room, the legendary MC smoothly lip-synched the lyrics to the Pharrell collab.

“I do my thang, my planet’s Krypton/home of the freaks, come get yo MoonRocks, I am a G,” he raps before his cohort sings the hook.

Thirty seconds in, though, Snoop reaches back to cut the music to thwart any potential leaks.

“That’s enough of that music,” he says. “I can’t let you hear all that sh-t cause you be done put the sh-t out. Yo ass got a verse and a half.”

Judging by what he let us hear, it’s safe to assume the dynamic duo have another banger on their hands. Take a look at the extremely “green” clip here.
