- Nothing quite like whoring your way to fame, eh Courtney
Love? The egomaniacal lead singer of Hole has made plenty of outrageous claims
over the years, but when she says that many grunge-era hits were written about
her, it might be less about self-confidence and more about the many rockers
she’s hooked up with over the years. According to Love, she dated so many
singers in grunge bands that it was inevitable many songs would be written
about her. She was famously married to/leeched off the career of Nirvana
frontman Kurt Cobain before his death in 1994 and also had a relationship with
Smashing Pumpkins singer Billy Corgan. She has admitted to being a fan of
satellite radio station Sirius XM’s show Lithium, named after a Nirvana hit,
and the station apparently feeds her narcissism. “I listen to Lithium, which is
like all of the ‘90s songs and a lot of them are actually about me, which is
interesting,” Love not-so-humble-bragged. “There’s so many Smashing Pumpkins
songs about me, there’s a Bush song about me…I remember I used to date this
movie star in the ‘90s and we were listening to KROQ. Of six songs in a row,
five of them were about me. I told him that, and he was ‘No, they aren’t!’ I
was: ‘Yeah, they are. I dated every one of those guys, dude.’” The last album
Hole released was ‘Nobody’s Daughter’ in 2010, but all love has done musically
since then is support pop singer Lana Del Rey on a tour of small theaters last
year, something she admitted was a bit rough on that bloated ego of hers………
- Donald Trump, here’s a country where you and your asinine
ideas might actually be welcome. Hungary just might heart itself some Trump, at
least based on Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s promise to build a new, "massive"
fence on its southern borders to defend against a possible surge in the number
of migrants. If that promise sounds familiar, it’s because Hungary's prime
minister is channeling his best Human Pumpkin Candidate and chasing earlier
comments calling migrants “poison” by saying on state radio that there may soon
be a "greater need for security" and the fortified barrier would be
able to stop "several hundreds of thousands of people," if needed. Oh,
and just like Trump, Orban didn’t offer any specifics in terms of when the wall
would be built or how such an insane project would possibly happen. Orban did
say the surge could take place if, for example, Turkey allows the millions of
refugees living there to leave for Western Europe. Oh, and xenophobic fans of
building border walls also might recall that Hungary built fences protected
with razor wire on its southern borders with Serbia and Croatia last year, when
nearly 400,000 people passed through the country on their way west. So eastern
Europe is seemingly on a wall-building kick and when Trump loses the
presidential election here in a few months, he might need somewhere to go to
get away from it all. Romania could clearly be that place……..
- He’s fighting what appears to be a losing battle to retain
his spot as the San Francisco 49ers’ starting quarterback, but that didn’t stop
Colin Kaepernick from taking a bold, controversial step at his team’s preseason
game against the Green Bay Packers. Kaepernick refused to stand during the
national anthem prior to the game, citing his views on the country's treatment
of racial minorities. "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag
for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," Kaepernick
said. “To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part
to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid
leave and getting away with murder." That was a direct shot at police
involved in shootings across the country
and will likely rankle some of the officers who are involved with security at
49ers home games, which is why the team issued a statement acknowledging that
Kaepernick sat on the team's bench during the national anthem while insisting
that it’s “an opportunity to honor our country and reflect on the great
liberties we are afforded as its citizens.” The league issued a statement in
which it said players are not required to stand during the anthem, but
Kaepernick said he did not tell the team he was planning to protest the
national anthem. "This is not something that I am going to run by
anybody," he said. "I am not looking for approval.” He may not be
looking for approval, but he is still looking to be an NFL starting quarterback
and his play on the field during the game didn’t help him much in that
respect……..
- Either the world’s biggest guacamole party was in the
works or thieves will steal literally anything they believe they can sell for a
few quick bucks. It’s hard to know which is true, but what we do know is that two
men have been charged with trespassing and theft after allegedly stealing
avocados from a Hawaiian orchard. Max Mattos of Keaau and Kawika Nobriga of
Pahoa were arrested after a theft occurred at an orchard off Highway 132 in
Kapoho. According to police, the owner of the orchard confronted two men and a
woman in a pickup truck on his property and blocked the truck from leaving
after spotting about 80 pounds of avocados in the bed of the truck. Mattos and
Nobringa were clearly not as smooth or swift as they thought they were, or they
needed to pick a better partner in crime than Sabrina Jaeger of Pahoa, who was
also arrested on a bench warrant and charged with contempt of court. Many
crimes leave the world wondering what those responsible for them were thinking,
but this definitely ranks high on the list because anyone who steals 80 pounds of
avocados then needs a plan for what they’re going to do with 80 pounds of
avocados before they go rotten. Now that they’re behind bars and facing
criminal charges, it’s a question this criminal outfit won't have to answer………
