Remember last week when IKEA recalled some meatballs for containing horsemeat, even though horse is a kind of meat, so technically they were still balls of meat, i.e. "meatballs"? Today the Swedish furniture behemoth recalled some almond cakes after tests revealed they contained a bacteria normally found in poop.
Ever since 22-year-old Lawrence Reed, pictured at left, was found driving—and subsequently crashing—33-year-old Marco McMillian's SUV on a highway in Tennessee last week, news outlets have been trying to piece together exactly how the two men knew each other. McMillian, an openly gay candidate for mayor in Clarksdale, Mississippi, was found dead near the Mississippi River after Reed pointed police to his body, prompting many to immediately presume McMillian's death was a hate crime (a black gay man being murdered by bigots in Mississippi wouldn't be much of a stretch). Yet as more details emerge, McMillian's killing seems to be less about a targeted hate attack and more about a relationship that soured.
Lee Daniels' upcoming historical drama The Butler was bound to be weird given Daniels' guiding hand (have you seen his The Paperboy, and did you like when Nicole Kidman peed on Zac Efron?), the casting (Robin Williams is Eisenhower, John Cusack is Nixon, Nancy Regan is Jane Fonda, oops I mean Jane Fonda is Nancy Regan) and Mariah Carey's turban. Now, count on it to be weird and creepy because Terence Howard recently started frothing at the mouth to Next Movie about playing the love interest of Oprah Winfrey's character, Gloria Gaines:
This must be one those "how long can you last" videos: A painfully flow-less Christian teen spitting h-ate-ful rhymes about homosexuality in a video entitled "Rated T for Tolerance."
Convicted fraudster and mother-looter Anthony Marshall was caught attempting to scam party-goers celebrating the building of the Titanic II. Marshall tried to hawk a century-old Astor family heirloom—one that he said was worn by his grandfather John Jacob Astor IV when he died aboard the Titanic in 1912. Turns out, the watch that Marshall was trying to sell never boarded the Titanic.
Every time she opens her mouth to speak, Taylor Swift, an antique doll brought to life by black magic, becomes more and more terrifying.
Women. They're dying younger. What is up with that, ladies?
The idea of drones over New York City have inspired art projects and a rap song. Now they may be a reality too. The FAA is investigating a report from an Alitalia passenger jet of a drone spotting over Brooklyn, as he approached JFK airport in Queens. "We saw a drone, ad drone aircraft," the pilot told controllers, according to audio played on Good Morning America, below.
A day after Oberlin College canceled classes when a month of racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic graffiti graffiti culminated in the early-morning sighting of a figure wearing Ku Klux Klan robes, an Oberlin police spokesman suggested that the report of the KKK figure may have been mistaken, and that the college had already identified the vandals responsible for the hate graffiti.
"1 IN 10 YALE STUDENTS SAY THEY'VE BEEN PAID FOR SEX..." tweeted internet behemoth Matt Drudge just a minute ago. Yikes! Drudge, who is commonly understood to be gay, links out to a report on the blog of anti-Yale crusader Nathan Harden, who looks more or less exactly the way you'd expect a guy obsessed with the amount of sex on the Yale campus to look.
