    Selena Gomez latest Instagram post becomes the platform’s most liked photo

    Pop singer Selena Gomez’s latest Instagram photo has become the app’s most liked image in just two weeks time, breaking former boyfriend’s, Justin Bieber, similar record.

    The photo that Gomez uploaded to the service was part of the ‘Share a Coke and a Song‘ campaign, where the gorgeous pop singer is photographed in a simple red top, flaunting her juicy red lips and thick wavy hair while sipping from a bottle of a classic Coke bottle, featuring the artist’s lyrics, “You’re the spark”, on the sticker.

    Furthermore, the photo, at the time of writing, has accumulated well over four million likes and ninety-one thousand comments from Instagram users.

    Bieber’s counterpart, which was posted three months ago, featuring a throwback of him and Gomez kissing in a pool, has achieved 3.7 million likes and a whopping one million comments.

    It is worth noting here that Gomez holds the most followed account of the Facebook-owned photo-sharing platform, at, as of now, 89.1 million followers.

    In fact, her impact  through Instagram is so significant, that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg invited Gomez to the company’s headquarters, in Palo Alto, California, thus discussing the future of the service and any potential endeavors the two can embark on.

    Furthermore, it should be mentioned here that Gomez has been too busy over the course of the last few months, due to her world tour, with the next stop scheduled to be in Jakarta, Indonesia, on July 23rd, which will be taking place in less than two weeks time.

    On a less relevant note, the third most liked picture on Instagram belongs to Kendall Jenner, star of ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians‘ reality TV show, which features Jenner lying down with her hair spread out as a crown of hearts around her head.

    Instagram confirmed that the particular post was the most liked picture of 2015.

  • Khloé Kardashian has kicked Lamar Odom out after finding Crack Pipe

    Khloé Kardashian has kicked Lamar Odom out after finding Crack Pipe

    Latest gossip reports suggest that reality TV superstar, Khloé Kardashian, has kicked her soon-to-be ex-husband Lamar Odom out of the house she rented for him while he was recovering from his overdose accident in Las Vegas.

    More specifically, the reason behind this decision lies in the fact that she found a crack pipe within the property, which proves that Odom hasn’t still managed to resolve his drug addiction, despite last year’s near-death incident.

    As TMZ has originally reported, Kardashian has been renting a $25,000 per month luxurious estate for Odom, which is located near her own home, after he was released from the hospital. Kardashian chose to rent a house for Odom in an effort to avoid having to check in with him at a rehab center.

    The 6,400 square foot pad has reportedly been on a lease that is due to end next month, which Kardashian is not planning to renew, sources close to her confirmed to TMZ.

    At the time of writing, gossip outlets report that Odom is couch-surfing and staying with friends. As Celebuzz has correctly pointed out, Odom is effectively homeless at the moment.

    Furthermore, it is also worth adding that Kardashian filed for divorce in May, since she dismissed the first one’s petition, which was filed in December 2013, just a few weeks before getting validated, due to Odom’s drug overdose in the Nevada brothel.

    The second filling includes all the details that the couple had agreed on in the first divorce, while a prenup exists as well. Besides various financial settlements, Kardashian has stated in the past that she will be legally dropping the Odom name and go back to her maiden handle.

    Kardashian has reportedly based the divorce claiming  irreconcilable differences. Since the divorce was filed in California, it will take a six-month time frame for it to become final.

  • Snapchat launches photo and video saving feature Memories

    Snapchat launches photo and video saving feature Memories

    Snapchat, the popular photo and video messaging social network, has just released a new update that allows users to save snaps on their smartphones and tablets.

    The company’s key selling point is based on the fact that photos or videos that users send to each other don’t last longer than a minute, though it seems Snapchat has taken a sudden turn around with the new addition.

    Memories, as the new feature is called, allows users to save their own Snaps or Stories to their devices, but they would have to enable the particular option before sending them to friends.

    Snapchat mentioned in its respective blog post,

    “Memories is a new way to save Snaps and Stories on Snapchat. It’s a personal collection of your favorite moments that lives below the Camera screen. You can use Memories to create new Stories from Snaps you’ve taken, or even combine different Stories into a longer narrative! It’s fun to celebrate an anniversary or birthday by finding a new few old Snaps and stringing them together into a new Story.“

    The procedure to save a snap is very simple; all the user has to do is  tap the new save button on the lower left-hand side of the screen before sharing it with their friends. From then on, the photo or video is stored solely within the app, where you can access it and the rest of the saved photos by swiping up from the Camera.

    The Verge notes that rectangular posts are individual Snaps, while Stories are tagged with a circular shape.

    Furthermore, Snapchat has integrated Memories with a genuinely advanced searching system. Users can find a specific Snap based on time and the location where it was taken. Thanks to object recognition search, you can also look for a Snap or Story based on an element that makes it stand out, such as the ‘sea’, or the ‘sunset’.

    If you type ‘sunset’, all photos featuring the sunset will be displayed.

    When it comes to Snaps that users wants to keep to themselves, there is an option dubbed ‘My Eyes Only’, allowing to lock a Snap or Story by flagging it with the particular feature.

    To receive the update, open up your device’s application store, look for Snapchat and hit the update button.

  • 14 Years Of Mythbusters Mayhem Ending Next Season

    14 Years Of Mythbusters Mayhem Ending Next Season

    Millions of people remember when the Mythbusters made an entire cement truck virtually disappear with explosives during an episode of their show. Millions more remember poor Grant testing seasickness cures in a chair designed to produce nausea for what seemed like hours. These episodes, and many more, introduced people to a world of science that they never knew existed. Now, sadly, that journey is coming to an end.

    The Mythbusters final season will premiere January 9. The show will continue on its quest to investigate iconic moments in television and movies and urban legends during its final season. During its run, the topics have included everything from Batman’s tools to whether ducks’ quacks echo. The topics of the final episodes have not been revealed, but they are sure to include plenty of explosions, a long time staple of the show.

    Hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman have starred in the show since its premiere episode in 2003. Hyneman was actually the one who pitched the idea to Discovery. The M7 Build Team, comprised of Kari Byron, Tory Belleci, and Grant Imahara (along with several others throughout the years), was introduced in subsequent seasons.

    Seth Rogen, James Cameron, Aaron Paul, Vince Gilligan, Sophia Bush have all guest starred on the show, along with many more celebrities. Many of the stars appeared in episodes related to movies they appeared in. Numerous scientists and government officials have also guest starred on the show. President Obama was a guest star back in 2010.

    Mythbusters was one of the first shows to harness the power of the internet to increase the popularity of the show. Fans were asked to submit myths online that the show could explore. Fans could also submit issues they had with the testing used to examine the myths, resulting in a number of shows were previous myths were revisited and retested.

    Mythbusters is Discovery Channel’s longest-running series. The series has logged 248 episodes, 2950 experiments, 1050 myths, and 900 explosions throughout its run. The series was nominated for an Emmy an astounding seven times. Discovery reported that the Mythbusters library will be moving over to Discovery’s sister network in 2016.

    So what is in the future for the Mythbusters? Savage and Hyneman are reportedly involved with a spy drama project in development at CBS based on their personal experience. The duo is reported to be executive producers for the show.

  • New Details Released For Rocky Horror Picture Show Reboot

    New Details Released For Rocky Horror Picture Show Reboot

    Fox has released new details about its two-hour TV movie remake of the cult classic film The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Fox reports that the remake will be faithful to the text of the original 1973 play by Jim Sharman and Richard O’Brien, but will reimagine the story visually. The reimagined cult classic is being released to coincide with the original film’s 40 year anniversary.

    The remake will reportedly be directed and choreographed by Kenny Ortega, well-known for his work on High School Musical. Gail Berman and the 1975 film’s producer Lou Adler will serve as Executive Producers alongside Ortega. The two-hour network event from Fox will air next year in the fall. The Rocky Horror Picture Show remake will not be airing live, unlike Fox’s upcoming Grease and NBC’s musical specials.

    Fox has also announced the choice of who will play the iconic lead character, Dr. Frank-N-Furter, in the Rocky Horror Picture Show reboot. Dr. Frank-N-Furter is a highly sexualized mad scientist who hails from Transexual, Transylvania. Orange Is The New Black’s Laverne Cox will reportedly be playing the role that Tim Curry originally made famous. Cox will create her own version of the character instead of attempting to recreate Curry’s aggressive, over the top persona.

    Today, Cox is Hollywood’s most popular transgender personality since RuPaul. She recently made history as the first openly transgendered person to be nominated for an Emmy award for her portrayal of Sophia Burset on Orange Is The New Black. She has been featured in roles on both The Mindy Project and Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce, and she is also attached to the current CBS pilot Doubt.

    Many Rocky Horror Picture Show fans have reported that they are excited to see their beloved film reimagined. The musical comedy has spawned regular midnight singalong screenings and a Broadway spin off in the 40 years since it was released in theaters. The original story follows sweethearts Janet Weiss and Brad Majors, who stumble upon Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s annual science convention showcasing the birth of ‘Rocky Horror’ — a fit, attractive man created solely to fulfill Frank’s desires. The 1975 original movie quickly became a cult classic, with local art house theaters across the nation screening the film complete with live actors acting out the movie beneath the screen.

  • Plus Size Fashion Getting More Attention From Designers

    plus sizePlus size women have long felt ignored by the fashion industry. “Plus” was treated like a dirty word in the fashion world, causing shame and confusion for those who didn’t fit the skinny, tall standard fashion designers kept pushing at us. Few major retailers and boutiques made clothes for plus size consumers and the ones that did hid their plus size offerings in separate sections or basements.

    Plus size is commonly considered between sizes 14 and 32, according to data from Plunkett Research. For the stores that stock plus size fashion, the stock is often so minimal that most sizes sell out quickly, making it difficult for customers to find items in their size. Brands like Michael Kors and Gap offer up to about a size 20, but in many cases the clothing in those sizes can only be found online. The perception among many was that designers welcomed plus size customers’ money, but not their presence in stores.

    Today, a new trend is emerging with more fashion designers turning their focus to the plus size market. Designers are focusing on plus size fashion that makes the buyer feel good about wearing it. The trend is not surprising as plus size consumers have become the majority. Plus size women now account for 67 percent of the population. The average size of a woman in the western world today is a size 14. In the United States alone, plus size clothing is now a $17.5 billion market.

    As plus size fashion becomes more common, more people are flocking to the designers that have embraced the fact that not everyone can be a size 2. There are many people who want to spend their money on plus size fashion but don’t know where to go. Many of the designers that only made clothing for those size 8 and below are finding that they are missing out on a significant portion of the market.

    Brands need to stop thinking that everyone who is bigger wants to hide it and start creating plus size fashion that the wearers can be proud of. The “Pink the Runway” fashion show, created by Crystal Carmen and Laura Mazurek and taking place at the Le Meridien Hotel on Oct. 30, features 30 plus size models in styles from local and national designers. There’s also a documentary coming out next year called “Straight/Curve” that questions whether size zero will remain the norm and talks about plus models as pioneers. More dialog about plus size fashion will hopefully encourage more designers to shift their focus to fashion that everyone can wear.

  • 6 Great Halloween Movies To Watch With Your Kids

    6 Great Halloween Movies To Watch With Your Kids

    When watching Halloween movies with your kids, you want to stay away from too much gore, visuals of possession, or an abundance of creepy imagery. Fortunately, there are many Halloween movies that fit this criteria that you can enjoy with your children. Here are 6 great Halloween movies that your kids can enjoy with you. All of the movies on the list are rated PG-13 or lower.

    The Addams Family

    America’s first family of creepiness lets it all hang out in this dramatic and humorous film. Anjelica Houston, Raul Julia, and Christopher Lloyd take the pumpkin flavored cake in their roles as the main characters of the movie, creating an odd, but non-scary vibe that is sure to leave your kids enthralled.

    Nightmare Before Christmas

    All hail the Pumpkin King. The movie gives you two holidays for the price of one, with the creepy and dark Halloween town offsetting the vibrant beauty of the Christmas world. The movie has stunning stop-action graphics and amazing music that will stay in your head long after the movie ends.

    It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

    This Halloween classic is more of a television special than an actual movie, but that doesn’t stop it from being one of the most watched Halloween movies year after year. Originally released in 1966, the movie follows the Peanuts gang as they prepare for trick-or-treating while Linus stakes out the local pumpkin patch for the arrival of the Great Pumpkin. With a run-time of roughly 25 minutes, it is a great choice for younger kids with short attention spans.

    The Corpse Bride

    Tim Burton made the underworld an exciting place where people are reunited with their dead pets and ghosts throw cool parties in The Corpse Bride. The animated love story follows shy groom who inadvertently marries a recently deceased girl when practicing his wedding vows in her presence. Danny Elfman created a magical musical score for the movie and the color drained palette enhances the movie’s desolate feel.

    Buffy The Vampire Slayer

    This PG-13 classic features funny one-liners, ’90s fashion, and Kristy Swanson kicking butt. The Buffy The Vampire Slayer story follows a high school cheerleader that discovers she is the latest in a long line of vampire hunters. She struggles against her fate at first, but eventually learns to embrace her vampire-killing destiny.

    Hocus Pocus

    When three witch sisters are resurrected on Halloween night, none of the children of Salem are safe. It is up to three brave kids and an immortal cat to defeat the witches and send them back to the beyond. Bette Midler gives an awesome performance as Winifred the witch.

  • Prenup Doesn’t Protect Kaley Cuoco From Spousal Support Claim

    Prenup Doesn’t Protect Kaley Cuoco From Spousal Support Claim

    Kaley Cuoco may have just realized that her divorce from estranged husband Ryan Sweeting will be more difficult than first thought. The popular actress has reportedly been served with papers from her husband’s attorney that he will be seeking spousal support despite the signing of a prenuptial agreement before their marriage. Kaley Cuoco is estimated to be worth about $45 million, while her husband has an estimated net worth of about $2 million.

    “The Big Bang Theory” star, 29, married Sweeting, a professional tennis player, after a whirlwind romance, tying the knot on New Year’s Eve, 2013. Cuoco told Cosmopolitan in April 2014, “I admit it happened fast, but that’s who I am. When we met, I knew he was the one.” A source close to the actress told Us Weekly, “It’s only been three months but she knows Ryan is the one. When you know, you know.” They married in a lavish ceremony on a ranch in southern California.

    In September, Cuoco announced she was divorcing Sweeting after less than two years of marriage. A statement from her rep said, “Kaley Cuoco and Ryan Sweeting have mutually decided to end their marriage. They ask for privacy at this time. No further statement will be issued regarding this matter.” Her divorce documents revealed the couple had signed a prenuptial agreement. The exact amount of spousal support requested has not been disclosed. The couple have no children together.

    Cuoco attempted to shut down speculation she and her husband were having marriage problems in the months leading up to their split. Prior to the announcement of their separation, Cuoco removed all photos of Sweeting from her social media accounts and Sweeting similarly removed photos from his Instagram account and disabled his Facebook page. The pair last attended a public event together on September 10.

    Since her split from Sweeting, Kaley Cuoco has been rumored to be dating her Big Bang Theory co-star, former boyfriend and on-screen husband, Johnny Galecki, 40, whom she previously dated for two years. Some even speculated that her relationship with Galecki was responsible for the demise of her marriage. However, both Cuoco and Galecki have taken to social media claiming that their relationship is just a friendship. Cuoco posted a photo of her and Galecki giving each other a fist bump on Instagram on Oct. 14, while he posted similar friendly photos on his Instagram the same day.

  • Lamar Odom Faces Long Recovery After Hospital Discharge

    Lamar Odom Faces Long Recovery After Hospital Discharge

    Lamar Odom has been deemed well enough to leave the Las Vegas hospital where he was rushed after being found unconscious at a Nevada brothel last week. However, he faces a long recovery process before he can once again be deemed in good health. The former Los Angeles Lakers player was discharged from the Sunrise Hospital & Medical center Monday evening and transported to a Los Angeles-area hospital by helicopter to continue his recovery.

    Lamar Odom’s transfer to L.A. was dependent upon his condition remaining stable. He was reportedly in a coma for days before awaking to see his estranged wife Khloe Kardashian at his side. Reports are now saying that he can speak in full sentences and is able swallow and eat food on his own.

    Lamar Odom is still being treated for aspiration pneumonia and he is still on dialysis due to kidney failure. While he is able to move his arms and legs, he is not able to stand up, even with assistance. The athlete is no longer wearing an oxygen mask and his breathing is improving, but the reduction of oxygen in his body lasted so long that there may be some cognitive issues to deal with. The reports say that Odom’s health is improving day to day, but he is going to need a lot of rehab in the coming months.

    Lamar Odom is a former high school basketball star who went on to win two N.B.A. titles with the Los Angeles Lakers. His private struggles with relationships and drugs were played out on reality television for the whole world to see. He married Khloe Kardashian, already a reality TV celebrity, a month after they met. Their marriage and its demise were chronicled for the masses on her show “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.”

    Many of the people close to him feared that something like this would eventually happen to him. When he was traded from the Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks in December 2011, his friends said that he took it hard. The estrangement from his wife over his partying habits also contributed to his downward spiral. In August 2013, he was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving and allegations of drug use have surfaced repeatedly. When he was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel, few who knew him were surprised, but all were saddened.

  • YouTube Stardom Brings Millions To Top Personalities

    YouTube Stardom Brings Millions To Top Personalities

    The most popular YouTube personalities have made millions doing what they do. The YouTube filmmakers, who are often directors, producers, and actors all rolled into one, have made their money commenting on video games, providing comedy, giving beauty tips, and even dancing while playing the violin. Their efforts have attracted millions of fans, and their money.

    Felix Kjellberg, better known as PewDiePie on YouTube, has managed to accumulate nearly 40 million subscribers by providing expletive-heavy commentary as he plays popular video games. The 25-year-old Swede has been named the top-earning YouTube star on the planet, earning $12 million on a pretax basis over the past year. His popularity has prompted advertisers to pay top dollar to have their products featured in his videos.

    Forbes recently released its first-ever ranking of the top-paid YouTube personalities, disclosing how much they make from their YouTube channels. The data, which lists earnings before subtracting management fees and taxes, comes from Nielsen, IMDB and other sources. Forbes also interviewed agents, managers, lawyers, industry insiders and the stars to ensure that its information was complete. The minimum to make the list was $2.5 million in pretax earnings for the year ending June 1, 2015.

    Most of the earnings come from advertisements, including sponsored ads , integrated content and automatic previews. A few have their own product lines and four have books out or in the pipeline. Video games seems to be the most popular path to making it big on YouTube, but comedians have also found YouTube to be a lucrative calling. Half of the top-earning channels on Forbes’ list feature sketch comedy, stand-up routines or pranks.

    Rhett & Link, the Rhett McLaughlin and Charles Lincoln Neal III duo, made $4.5 million with their comedy videos through various sponsored content deals. Smosh, brainchild of childhood best friends Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla, earned $8.5 million and secured a movie deal. Lilly Singh, known to her YouTube fans as Superwoman, earned $2.5 million over the past year with her jokes and recently embarked on a 25-city world tour.

    In the ten years since its founding, YouTube has minted dozens of millionaires under the age of 30. As more young people migrate to mobile devices for their entertainment, advertisers are increasingly looking to YouTube and its popular personalities to get the word out about their products. The barrier to entry is low, meaning just about anyone could become a YouTube star if they are dedicated and willing to work at expanding their own unique brand.

  • Oprah Wants More To Join Weight Watchers After Her Success

    Oprah Wants More To Join Weight Watchers After Her Success

    Oprah-Winfrey-Weight-WatchersOprah’s successful Weight Watchers weight loss has prompted her to encourage more people to join the service. Oprah has long shown an interest in health issues and dieting programs, often struggling with her own weight over the years. Now, it appears that she believes Weight Watchers has the solution for those struggling with weight loss.

    Oprah is putting her money where her mouth is, investing enough to buy 10 percent of the company’s stock, joining its board, and announcing that she will serve as an adviser to the company. According to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing, Oprah made a total investment of $43.2 million in the company, buying her shares at $6.79 apiece. Oprah also has options to acquire an additional 5 percent stake in the company.

    According to deal terms filed with the SEC, none of her shares can be sold in the first two years after purchase. After that, a tiered plan comes into effect where she can sell up to 15 percent of her shares in the third year, up to 30 percent in the fourth year, and up to 60 percent in the fifth year. After that, she has the right to sell all of her shares at will.

    Oprah’s investment comes after a positive personal experience with the company’s weight-loss program. In a statement, Oprah said, “Weight Watchers has given me the tools to begin to make the lasting shift that I and so many of us who are struggling with weight have longed for. I believe in the program so much I decided to invest in the company and partner in its evolution.”

    Weight Watchers saw its stock soar after the news of Oprah’s investment was made public. The dieting company’s stock has been in a prolonged slump for years. The company’s stock had lost 72 percent of its value just this year before the investment by Oprah was announced. Investors flocked to Weight Watchers shares after the announcement, sending the stock up 86 percent to $12.60 at 10:25 a.m. Monday.

    Weight Watchers has been in the midst of a slump as dieting has gone digital in recent years. Between 2011 and 2014, Weight Watchers’ total revenue fell 19 percent from $1.84 billion to $1.48 billion. An increasing number of people interested in dieting are using their smartphones to count calories with applications or have shifted from counting caloric intake to focusing on healthy eating.

    Fewer people are showing interest in Weight Watchers’ famous group meetings, where experts and colleagues share dieting tips. In 2014, roughly 800,000 members attended Weight Watchers meetings and 1.5 million people subscribed to the company’s online products.

    Weight Watchers recently announced an expansion of its brand’s focus to a general emphasis on healthier, happier living. The company has also attempted to turn around its business by investing in a new digital consultation service called Personal Coaching and investing in personalized accounts that sync with activity-tracking devices, such as FitBit.

  • Audience To Be Nude For Miley Cyrus Naked Concert

    Audience To Be Nude For Miley Cyrus Naked Concert

    mileycyrusWould you shed your clothes for a concert? That’s what Miley Cyrus is requesting of the audience of her upcoming naked concert with the Flaming Lips’. During the concert, the singer plans to be completely nude. The members of the Flaming Lips’ have agreed to be nude as well. To attend the show, the audience members must also lose the clothing.

    Wayne Coyne, the Flaming Lips’ front man, confirmed plans for the naked concert on Instagram. The image accompanying the announcement was a split image of Cyrus and the band members seemingly unclothed. They won’t be the first artists to get naked for a concert. The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Erykah Badu have also performed unclothed.

    The Instagram announcement also revealed that white stuff that apparently looks like milk will be spewed everywhere during the concert. Portions of the concert will be filmed for Cyrus’s upcoming video for her “Milky Milky Milk” single.

    Nudity has not appeared to be a problem for Miley Cyrus for quite some time now. The popular “Wrecking Ball” singer is well-known for posting racy photos online. She also flashed her nipples during her hosting stint at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards.

    Cyrus and Coyne formerly collaborated on the NSFW “Superfreak” music video. They have also collaborated on multiple songs, including a cover of the Beatles “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds. The best friends sport matching tattoos in honor of Cyrus’s late dog, Floyd.

    Despite their strong friendship, Cyrus says that there is nothing sexual about her relationship with Coyne. She previously told the New York Times, “ I am 100 percent in love with Wayne and Wayne is in love with me, but it’s nothing sexual in any way.” There is a 31-year age difference between the 53-year-old rocker and the 22-year-old singer.

    The date, time, and location for the naked concert have not yet been announced, but many believe that it will occur during Cyrus and the Flaming Lips’ upcoming six-date club tour kicking off in Chicago on November 19. Cyrus revealed the concert tour with the Flaming Lips’ earlier this month on The Tonight Show.

    The tour will also come to Detroit, Washington DC, New York, Philadelphia, and Boston during its run. The tour is in support of her new album, “Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz,” which is available to stream online for free.

    The hospitalization of Lamar Odom has affected a number of current and former basketball pros, with some of them taking to Twitter to voice their support and others traveling to Nevada to visit him in the hospital. Kobe Bryant reportedly left immediately after a Los Angeles Lakers preseason game to travel to the Nevada hospital to see his friend and former teammate in the hospital. Odom and Bryant were teammates for seven seasons from 2004 to 2011. Several other members of the Lakers have also traveled to Nevada to support Odom.

    Lamar Odom was a top-tier NBA talent and a two-time champion. He is also one of the most universally beloved teammates in the league. Those who know him describe him as sensitive, funny, genuine, and engaging. Dwayne Wade said he was praying for his friend to pull through, a sentiment echoed by Eric Gordon, Nick Young, and Paul Pierce.

    Odom was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel on Tuesday afternoon. The sheriff’s department in Las Vegas reported that a call for an unresponsive male at the Love Ranch came in at 3:15pm. Paramedics treated the male at the scene before he was taken to a nearby hospital. An investigation into the incident has been launched, but what was found, if anything, has not been disclosed.

    Sources from the ranch have reported that Lamar Odom arrived at the ranch on Saturday and had been partying with the girls for days. On Tuesday afternoon, a woman went into the room he rented in the VIP suites and found him unconscious. The woman alerted the manager, who called 9-1-1 and went to see it aid could be rendered. The manager reportedly saw a mucus-type liquid coming out of Odom’s mouth and nose.

    Medical personnel wanted to airlift Odom for treatment, but his 6’10” frame was too large to fit in the helicopter so he was transported by ground instead. Sources are reporting that the former basketball player is in a coma and is having serious medical issues with his heart, lungs, and kidneys. He is reportedly breathing with the assistance of machines and is considered to be in critical condition. His estranged wife Khloe Kardashian is reportedly at his bedside.

    Odom’s troubles with drugs have been well documented over the past four years, culminating in his high profile divorce case with reality star Khloe Kardashian. Odom hasn’t played in an NBA game since May of 2013.

  • Presidential Campaign Music Raises Artists’ Ire

    Presidential Campaign Music Raises Artists’ Ire

    Presidential campaigns are carefully choreographed affairs where every detail of a candidate’s image is examined and enhanced to show them in the best light. The clothing the candidate wears, the strategically placed supporters, and the music used for entrances and exits from the stage are all cautiously selected by a team of campaign staffers.

    Sometimes, problems occur when the politician, or their staff, does not inform the musicians that they intend to use their music as part of their campaign. The gaffes are typically blamed on campaign staffers lack of knowledge about the applicable rules. There is also a legal gray area over licensing rules for music in political campaigns.

    It seems like it would be easy for politicians to avoid using songs that will get them publicly shamed by musicians. It tends to occur every presidential campaign season. The musicians that created these songs are not always happy to find out that a presidential campaign is using their song during their events.

    Neil Young complained to the Donald Trump campaign in June over its use of his song “Rockin’ In The U.S.A.” at a campaign event. Then, last month at a rally opposing President Obama’s deal with Iran, Trump took the stage with “It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” by R.E.M. playing over the sound system in the background.

    The members of the band quickly took to social media to angrily denounce Trump’s use of the song at the rally. An official statement from the band says that the band’s members “do not authorize or condone the use of our music at this political event, and do ask that these candidates cease and desist from doing so.”

    Last weekend, Trump was dinged by another artist for using music in his campaign without permission. Steven Tyler, the lead singer of Aerosmith, had his lawyer send a cease and desist letter to Trump’s campaign threatening legal action if he continued to use the band’s 1973 hit “Dream On” at his events.

    The letter stated, “If Trump for President does not comply with our demands, our client will be forced to pursue any and all legal or equitable remedies which our client may have against you.” Subsequent reports have stated that Tyler and Trump have spoken and Trump has agreed to no longer use the song.
