The queen of glitter and unicorns, Kesha, needs our help, hunties. An unworn black tuxedo suit (with a tiger and a rainbow, naturally) that she plans on wearing tomorrow night (at 9PM) was stolen from her dressing room tonight. Ugh, rude!
Check out what she said on her Instagram:
This is the jacket in question:
Hope the stealer comes forward or that her team can get it back!

A clearly still-grieving Courtney Stodden looks into the camera and tells her fans that, as a tribute to the child she recently lost, she wants to make a symbolic gesture of shaving her head.
“Hi everyone. As you all know, I recently suffered a miscarriage and it’s had a huge impact on me emotionally. I’ve been thinking, and I have decided that I want to give back to my angel with a symbolic gesture, and that to me, is shaving my head. I want to step into this new chapter in my life fresh and new. So, I wanted to share it with you because you are a huge support system to me and I love you, all of you, so much. So again: Thank you for your support, and here we go…”
See the before and after pictures below. Of course, she looks beautiful with and without hair, I just hope she’s OK. Big hug from everyone at WOW, Courtney.

It was a month and a half ago, June 30, 2016, that New York-based model and Columbia University student Krit McClean boarded the F train, got off at Times Square, then climbed on top of the TKTS booth, butt naked. His crazed antics – culminating in what should have been a fatal leap onto the sidewalk – was witnessed by a crowd of tourists, policemen, and photographers, and landed him in the national spotlight. Now he sits down with the New York Post to tell what went wrong that day, and how that manic episode almost ended his life.
Via the New York Post:
It all started the week before. I became transfixed with the color yellow. I had never experienced anything so strange, but I didn’t realize anything was wrong. I’m an artist, so I channeled this feeling into painting everything in my apartment yellow. I painted my shoes, clothes and photographs yellow and made a yellow costume to wear. I also started following taxis.
I was hyper-focused. I spent hours fixated on one conversation, practicing photography, painting, reciting monologues, singing and writing poetry. I stopped eating and checking my email. I felt I had found a new religion: the religion of love and artistic expression.
My best friend, Marc Choueiri, thought there was something seriously wrong and asked me, “Are you OK?” multiple times.
I’m a student at Columbia University studying English and political science, but I was in the middle of my summer break, so I wasn’t seeing my school friends. I was taking acting classes, but I was so wrapped up in my thoughts, I didn’t know how I was coming across to others. I also became transfixed with dichotomies, like Democrats vs. Republicans, love vs. hate, female vs. male. I screamed, ‘Donald Trump!’
One night, I went home to see my family on Roosevelt Island. I tried to teach my dad, Vincent, my mom, Vipa, and older sister, Siri, about my newfound religious belief and gave them a painting lesson. My mom pleaded with me: “Please, darling, don’t go, don’t leave. Everything will be OK if you stay.”
I was working on an extensive project for the fashion magazine VMan the week I had my breakdown. I wanted to be at my best, so I quit smoking marijuana. Not until after what happened did I realize I had been self-medicating for years. Smoking helped me sleep and calmed my racing thoughts. Quitting abruptly threw off my mental balance. That whole week I slept a few hours each night, if at all. Strangely, the less sleep I got, the more energized I felt.
My paranoia heightened on June 29, the night before my Times Square show.
He continued:
It was a bright morning on June 30 when I stepped off the F train near Times Square. I had blisters all over my feet from walking barefoot and was overwhelmed with fear.
As I headed to my apartment in Hell’s Kitchen, I was in the throes of paranoia. I thought evil people were out to get me.
As I stared at the towering ads of Times Square, they started to send me subliminal messages. “Express Yourself,” read the billboard for Express jeans. I obeyed. I immediately took off my clothes. Being naked, I thought, was the most truthful way of expressing myself. It made me feel safe.
Then, I saw another “sign” — the red glow of the TKTS stairs looked like a red carpet. It beckoned me to the top. After reaching the highest step, I noticed litter on the other side of the banister, so I climbed over.
I started collecting old gum, cigarette butts and coins — and ate it all. It was my way of disposing of the garbage.
I noticed figures in blue uniforms coming toward me. They looked evil, and I was convinced they were out to get me, too. Trying to fend them off, I went back to expressing myself — this time with song and dance.
I repeated, “Yeezy, Yeezy, Yeezy just jumped over Jumpman,” and, “They smile in my face is what I don’t like,” hoping Kanye West’s lyrics would protect me. I saw him as a divine entity and his words my safeguard.
I also became transfixed with dichotomies, like Democrats vs. Republicans, love vs. hate, female vs. male. I screamed, “Donald Trump!”
I wasn’t really thinking; phrases were just coming out.
The uniformed figures started moving closer to me, and I saw a huge inflated pillow on the ground. I thought it was a trap. So I leaped from the roof of the ticket booth, 18 feet above the sidewalk, dodging what I later learned was an airbag the rescuers had set up to break my fall.
I hit the ground, but I felt no pain. It felt like I was no longer inside my body.
I pretended to be dead.
When someone grabbed me, I screamed Kanye’s nickname, “YEEEEEEEZZZYYYYYY!”
Suddenly, needles pierced my body and I started to feel sleepy.
“It’s time to go into darkness,” I told myself.

BuzzFeed, bless their hearts, has screen grabbed a dozen or so images from last night’s Men’s Diving competition, where the scores cover their bathing suit regions so as to look like censor bars. It’s all very sexy. It alllllmost makes up for the boner-killing shootouts to Christ the Savior from American hunks David Boudia and Steele Johnson.

A British Suicide Squad fan (or former fan, shall we say) is threatening to sue Warner Bros. and DC for featuring scenes in trailers that do not appear in the actual movie – specifically some kick-ass Jared Leto scenes that were PROMISED, and seemed positively pivotal, only to end up on the cutting room floor.
BlackPanther2016 explains that he drove 300 miles to London to see the movie, only to learn that Suicide Squad barely featured the Joker. The fan apparently complained to the theater about the “unjust act” and requested a refund, but was kicked out of the venue instead.
Here’s the full post:
Movie Trailers are like food menus, they give you a preview of what your gonna get. If you look at a McDonald’s menu and you choose to get your favourite burger, presented/showcased in a nice picture with pickles, chicken, mild cheese (you’re favourite, in-fact…that’s the only reason you’re getting this burger…because you love mild cheese). So you use your hard worked money to pay for this burger, you get the burger, but only to find out that…this isn’t the burger you ordered. Yes it has pickles and chicken…but…it doesn’t have mild cheese…it has regular cheese.
“Suicide Squad” trailers showcased several SPECIFIC Joker scenes that I had to pay for the whole movie just so that I can go watch those SPECIFIC SCENES that WB/DC had advertised in their trailers and TV spots. These scenes are: When Joker banged his head on his car window, when Joker says, ‘’let me show you my toys’’, when Joker punchs the roof of his car, when Joker drops a bomb with his face all messed up and says, ‘’BYE BYE!’’. Non of these scenes were in the movie. I drove 300 miles to London to go watch these specific scenes they had explicitly advertised in their TV ads…and they didn’t show them to me. Adding to this, they were also 2 specific Katana scenes they advertised that were also the reason I wanted to go watch the movie. These scenes were: Katana’s eyes going black, and a slow motion shot of her and her sword taking souls…in a smokey kind of style. These scenes were advertised several times in the 1st trailer and many TV ads…but they didn’t show it to me in the movie. I wasted alot of money paying and travelling to go watch this movie because of these specific scenes they had advertised to me and all of us saying, ‘’hey, check out our preview! this will all be in our movie, come watch it on the 5th!!’’. All lies. I told the theatre about this unjust act and said I didn’t get what I came here to see…can I have my money back. They laughed at me and kicked me out. So I’m now taking this to court. I want my refund, the trauma of being embarrassed as I was being kicked out and people laughing at me for wanting my refund, and also the 160 pounds of fuel money I used to drive to London from Scotland.
If you advertise something…give me what you have advertised. Period. This is becoming a habbit with movie studios, showing epic scenes in trailers…but their never shown in the movies. It’s unjust.
I just want to say, join me if you feel the same way. Let’s stop this nonsense of false bullshitery…and don’t let them bribe you with their ‘’deluxe premium special directors gold extended edition supreme cut’’ nonsense. You should get what they advertised as their first theatre showing and what you have paid for based on what they have showed you in their advertisements.
He’s not wrong though. It’s called bait and switch and more and more trailers these daycare featuring scenes not included in the movie. As one HuffPo commenter pointed out: “You shouldn’t be able to say, ‘hey heres our movie, you should see it because of these clips, look how awesome it is’ Then once you take the bait, completely change shit up.”
Here, here.
I hope BlackPanther2016 makes a FORTUNE, and studios stop this insidious practice AT ONCE.

Gorgeous trans icon Gigi Gorgeous, social media superstar and Kylie Jenner BFF, is currently being detained at the Dubai airport because she “used to be a man.”
According to TMZ, she was stopped at Immigration by an officer who was she is transgender. “You cannot come into the country,” he said.
Gigi was born Gregory Lazzarato, but says her passport has been updated since she transitioned … it now reads “Gigi Loren.”
Airport police have a different story. They say the passport describes her as male and the passport photo shows Gigi as a male. Gigi tells us that’s simply not true.
We did some checking … in Dubai the “imitation of women by men” is illegal, and violators face up to a year in jail.
She says they still have her passport, and she’s trying to get out of the country.

My source here is kind of sketchy, but I’m inclined to believe her. Sandie Crisp, better known to as The Goddess Bunny (of Obey the Walrus fame), has been living in a skilled nursing home in Inglewood, California – the SAME nursing home that Roz Kelly of Happy Days fame reportedly lives in. Sandy took to Facebook today to announce that Roz had passed away, at age 73. No other media outlets are reporting this yet. Not Wikipedia, not IMDB, nobody on Twitter, and no blogs. But Sandie writes:
Roz Kelly past (sic) away today at the age of 73 better known as Pinky Tuskadarow on Happy Days as Fonzie ‘s girlfriend. She was also in Lords of FlatBush , and many more television shows
I’m just passing along her post. If Roz is, indeed, alive and well, I’m terribly sorry.
TMZ, will you do a little sleuthing here and get to the bottom of this?
In addition to her iconic role as Fonzie’s girlfriend Pink Tuscadaro, Roz guest starred in New Year’s Evil and The Lords of Flatbush, and guest starred in a number of ’70s era TV shows including Starsky & Hutch, Match Game, The Paul Lynde Halloween Special, Baretta, Kojak, The Love Boat, The Dukes of Hazzard, Charlie’s Angels, and Fantasy Island.
Her later years were turbulent. Reports Wikipedia:
On November 29, 1998, she was arrested for firing a 12-gauge shotgun into the living room window of a neighbor’s house after a car alarm woke her up;[5] she also shot the neighbor’s car and another car nearby. The neighbor was not home at the time. She pleaded no contest to the charge of firing into the house and was sentenced to three years’ felony probation on October 20, 2000. Kelly was also ordered to receive psychiatric counseling and pay restitution as ordered by the probation department.
On October 27, 2000, she was sentenced to 120 days in jail after pleading “no contest” to charges stemming from an August 20, 2000, arrest for hitting a man with her cane.[7] She was given credit for the 98 days that she had already spent in jail awaiting sentencing, thus avoiding having to spend any more time in jail.
Listed under “Personal Quotes” on her IMDB page is this gem:
“I hear that some people think I’m abrasive. I’m just myself. Sure I talk loud once in a while, but that doesn’t mean people can chew me up and spit me out.”

The unidentified young man who climbed Trump Tower today for over two hours was just pulled in to safety. He did it to get Donald Trump‘s attention. He posted this YouTube video yesterday to explain.
The video, is titled “Message to Mr. Trump (why I climbed your tower)” and says,
“I’m an independent researcher seeking a private audience with you to discuss an important manner. The reason I climbed your tower was to get your attention. If I sought this via conventional means, I would be much less likely to have success, because you are a busy man with many responsibilities.
As for anyone else who’s watching,” the man continues, “please help this video go viral so that it gets to Mr. Trump and be sure to get out and vote for Mr. Trump in the 2016 election.”
According to CNN’s Shimon Prokupecz, the man climbing Trump Tower told police that his name is “Steve” and that he’s from Virginia.
Watch.

Voguing Ballroom DJ, icon and Qween Beat record label founder MikeQ is forever turning out fierce tracks for your dance floor life…and here’s another one! Get Sum is a tribute to the late house producer and vocalist Romanthony. Before his death, the two were collaborating on a new house music piece that never got finished…until now. Get Sum takes samples from First Choice’s classic 1977 Disco hit Let No Man Put Asunder, original stems provided by Romanthony, and a total re-imagining by MikeQ. Check out the final result below, and get Get Sum, available on the QWEENDOM compilation, out August 12! (via The Fader)
MikeQ:
“I want to say I started talking to Anthony in 2011; we had a mutual friend DJ Mary Mac in New Jersey who is also currently Madonna’s tour DJ. After he emailed me, I learned that he frequently popped into the live Vogue Knights stream I had going around that time, and he then let me know how inspired he was by the culture.
After a few weeks of talking, he sent me a track he said he had started that was specifically built off his inspiration of what he had seen. I immediately fell In love with it. He had already built most of it, but it was only a draft. Once I had the stems I pretty much broke the entire track down part for part, revamped the samples, and rebuilt the entire track with my added touch, extended and finished it. Due to his 2013 passing, he unfortunately would never get to hear the finished product. This track is his dedication to the ballroom culture and mine to him.”

Seems that Adele & superstar Barbra Streisand met up while in Los Angeles last week to discuss plans for a collaboration. The British superstar, who is currently on the North American leg of her world tour and according a source told the Daily Star Sunday,
“This could easily become one of the most important and lucrative collaborations in modern music history. And they are both very much up for it. Despite the huge gulf in age and their different genres, both have said they would love to get together in the studio and record a duets album.
The feeling is that the tracks would most likely be new versions of their own best-known numbers with maybe one or two new songs added to the mix.”
Despite the fact that both stars have crazy schedules, they are both on board to make something happen, similar in style to Lady Gaga’s recent collaboration with Tony Benett. (via Evening Standard)
