In the aeon it’s taken for her to release her debut album ‘Broke With Expensive Taste’ (of which an official release date is STILL yet to be confirmed), Azealia Banks has most certainly kept her motormouth busy on & off the track. Last year’s ‘Fantasea’ mixtape scooped the rap vixen clusters of radio airplay worldwide, whilst more recently Baauer‘s ”Harlem Shake” and The Strokes‘ ”Barely Legal” were given the certified Banks treatment, roping in hordes of online attention. Although no shortage of fresh material has contributed marginally to her name being upheld by the music press, it’s the online feuds with the likes of fellow femme fatale Angel Haze, Brit rock legends The Stone Roses and hip-hop hotshot A$AP Rocky that have kept her from fading into the depths of cultural obsolescence, albeit in an arguably unprofessional manner.

With her nonchalant behaivour beginning to outweigh the impact of her music, many have cast doubt as to whether or not the songs that comprise her debut will be able to overshadow her ability to engage in petty fights. Today, however, cleared the air of uncertainty surrounding the troublesome braggart, with the video for her highly-anticipated lead single ”Yung Rapunxel” finally surfacing. Depicting Banks as a ghoulish, triple-mouthed monster in-between scenes of defiantly confronting a squad of riot police, its musical accompaniment is not as instantaneously memorable as her breakout smash ”212” was, but what the track lacks in melodic attributes it makes up for with its pulverising sense of urgency. Firing affirmative rhyming couplets over a haywire hip-house beat, the controversial rapper casually dares the world to step up to her plateau before delivering a truly terrifying screech-laden chorus that slams a definitive layer of meaning on top of the term ‘witch-hop’.

Whilst there might be more than a trickle of irony in the song’s line ”So tired of all the drama”, particularly as Banks is usually the first to incite a quarrel, it’s difficult to deny that with the arrival of ”Yung Rapunxel” comes an angst-ridden reminder that there’s a vigorous bite that comes with the incessant bark. Azealia Banks is baying for blood, and if her album measures up to the aggressive quirk of its forerunning single, she’ll undoubtedly get what she desires.

During an interview with 

“For any media outlet that listens to this interview, don’t ask me s**t about that man when I come up there,” Drake told hip-hop journalist Elliott Wilson on his “Keep It Thoro” internet radio show, referring to Chris. “Leave that man alone and stop preying on his insecurities man.“

Drake then dissed Chris more about his relationship with Rihanna, whom he dated after she broke up with Chris.

“His insecurities are the fact that I make better music than him, that I’m more popping than him and that at one point in life the woman that he loves fell into my lap,” he said. “I did what a real n—a would do and treated her with respect. So she’s not out there talking down on me.“

Drake continued that he’s done talking about Chris in the press, and expressed how annoying it is to answer questions about their feud.

“All them things combined create an individual that comes up to your radio station and is just gonna do dumb s**t,” he said. “It shouldn’t be about tearing that man down. It shouldn’t be about wanting to see me and him tear each other down. We have an issue and it’s either gonna drag out or maybe in 10 years we’ll laugh about it over drinks, just let us solve that s**t.“

He added, ”I feel for him too. Every interview he does, they talk about me. It is what it is. I’m focused on this album and everything else that’s going on. I’m not thinking about that man…or that girl. … At the end of the day, we are just two guys and a girl. We are regular people, too. You shouldn’t care that much.“

How did Chris respond? Shortly after the interview aired, he tweeted ”Lol,” presumably in response to Drake’s comments.

Why does it feel like this?
I feel thankful and blessed and hopeful..
but scared and unsure and undeserving.
perhaps undeserving isn’t the right word.
But what Aaron is feeling right now isn’t right. Not that it’s confusing… but why? Why, when we are apart we long for eachother…want to be togther…forever..
But here we are, together. That spark of happiness seeming like it is fizzling out on his part. I don’t want it to be like that. It can’t be.
What do i do when i can’t help him?
It hurts..
It kills me inside..

I’m not going to sleep if he has nightmares. And i don’t want to smile, or feel a little ounce of joy if he doesn’t.
That’s that.

Goodnight Aaron <3

     “Brother Ben,” Anthony said. “Where in hell have you been?”

     Ben looked over at Tom, smiling. The two were sharing a bottle of Beech Fork whisky.

     “Why, me and Tom was over on Twelve Pole lookin’ at some timber,” he said. “Why? Did I miss some more shootin’?”

     “No,” Anthony said. “But you’re gettin’ the blame for what happened to Al and Hollene.”

     Ben laughed out loud.

     “Is that so?” he said. “Who in the hell would say such a thing?”

     “Henderson and his boys,” Ant said.

     “That sounds about right,” Ben said.

     He guzzled a shot.

     “Now I might shoot Al Brumfield,” he said. “But I sure as hell ain’t goin’ to shoot Hollene.”

     “Well, I didn’t think so,” Ant said. “I told Andy you’d never do somethin’ like that.”

     “Andy, huh?” Ben said, taking another drink.

     “Yeah,” Ant said. “Andy come by to see me, lookin’ for you. He was askin’ about it.”

     “Is that so?” Ben said.

     Ant shook his head.

     “He said we need to go see about Hollene.”

     “Horseshit!” Ben said. “I ain’t goin’ over there. Them people hate me. They think I’m the devil.”

     “That’s what I said,” Ant said.

     “Am I right?” Ben said.

     “I’d say you are,” Ant said. “I don’t blame you one bit for holdin’ a grudge.”

      Ben poured another shot and then drank it.

     “Well by god,” Ben said. “If Henderson and his bunch are blamin’ me for Hollene gettin’ hurt, you can be sure they’ll come after me.”

     “Why hell Ben, they done did,” Ant said, almost amused.

     “What?”

     “Ain’t you been home yet?” Ant asked.

     “No.”

     Ant snickered.

     “Why, just a few days ago, somebody set fire to your porch,” he said.

     “Son of a bitch,” Ben said.

     Tom Maggard laughed out loud.

     The three men drank way into the night, growing comfortable in the little shack, discussing the ambush and related troubles that were, with each passing day, escalating into something awful.

     “Tell me this, little brother,” Ant finally said, after numerous drinks. “Did you have anything do with the Brumfield shootin’?”

     Ben laughed.

     “No Ant,” he said. “But I think I know who did.”

     Ben told Ant that a war was coming to Harts Creek – a war that would likely result in the extermination of the Brumfields and their friends. He said he had no part in any of it but that it might provide him an opportunity to settle some old scores. It was dangerous times, to be sure. But with the help of his family and friends, he would come out of it all right. For protection, he had ordered sixteen rifles – eight .32 Winchesters and eight .38 Winchesters – all 1873 models. In essence, when the Dingesses came calling for him again, as he knew they would, they would find a small unit of men more than ready to defend itself.

Former porn star Jenna Jameson used a brass knuckle iPhone case when she beat up her assistant in a California salon over the weekend according to reports.

Jameson, 39, was charged with battery after allegedly assaulting her assistant, Britney Markham, with the accessory turned weapon following accusations she had stolen from her.

Markham claims the mother of two entered a Newport Beach salon on Saturday yelling at her, hours before planning to celebrate her 39th birthday at Heat Ultra Lounge in Anaheim that night.

Similar style:  Britney Markham, left, appears to own the same iPhone case, having posed in several pictures with the item that’s sold online for around $15

She allegedly used the case to punch her assistant in the stomach and back while yelling ‘I’ll f***ing kill you,’ TMZ reports.

Photos on a personal website belonging to Markham show that she too owns a brass knuckle iPhone case, replicating a weapon that is banned in the state of California.

Markham was hospitalized for her injuries, however not preventing her and Jameson from launching a Twitter feud they’ve since both deleted according to reports.

‘Wow just got robbed by a friend @britneymarkham she accused me of gusting her and then broke into my home and took everything,’ Jameson allegedly wrote on Twitter before deleting it on Sunday night.

Charged: Jenna Jameson, who was planning on celebrating her 39th birthday that night, was arrested and charged with battery

Markham later posted a video of herself in a hospital bed following the assault, according to The Bert Show, captioning it: ‘This is what you did to me and u accuse me of stealing.’

That video has since been removed as well.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Markham has since filed a restraining order against Jameson who was released from custody on Sunday.

Jameson, whose birthday was officially Tuesday, has been in a relationship with mix martial arts fighter Tito Ortiz since 2006. He is the father of her four-year-old twin boys.

Last May, Jameson was charged with drunken driving after she crashed her car into a light pole.

She suffered minor injuries, but refused treatment.

In April 2010, Ortiz was arrested and charged with felony domestic abuse against Jameson. She was later seen in public with a bandage on her arm.

Ortiz subsequently said Jameson was addicted to pain pills and had been acting erratically.

Both parties later recanted their stories.

At some point early in 1355, the laborer Pons Gasin of Marseilles killed a woman named Alazais Borgona. The peace act that arose from this killing does not tell us why. What it does tell us is that the killing marked the birth of a great hatred between Alazais’s kinfolk and Pons. The notary who wrote the act, Peire Aycart, had no word comparable to the German word faida and its cognates or the Italian vendetta to describe a structural relationship of animosity of this kind. Instead, he used the classical Latin word inimicitia, meaning “enmity” or “hatred,” quite literally, “unfriendship” or “unkinship.” . . . On 4 April 1355 the hostile parties met in the convent of the Augustinians of Marseilles in the presence of several leading citizens of Marseilles, and unfriendship turned to friendship as the two parties exchanged the kiss of peace and sealed the contract with a marriage.

The word inimicitia and its cognate enmitas occur frequently in the judicial records and notarial peace acts of late-medieval Marseilles, somewhat more often but in essentially the same context as two other words used to describe hatred, the classical Latin odium and the late Latin rancor. Although the semantic field covered by this quartet overlaps with another moral sentiment, namely, anger or wrath, conveyed by the words ira and furor, the two sentiments were often used in distinct ways, both in Marseilles and in other sources from the Latin Middle Ages. “Hatred,” as Robert Bartlett has pointed out, was a conventional term of medieval secular jurisprudence used to describe an enduring public relationship between two adversaries. “Anger,” in contrast, was generally used to describe a short-term and hence repairable rage, something that could break out between members of a kin group, real or fictive, who normally love one another-brothers and sisters, parents and children, lords and vassals, or God and his people. In moral literature, hatred was typically paired with love, whereas anger was paired with patience.

I’m fascinated by the notion of persistent structures of unfriendship, and by the love/hate, patience/anger pairings. I like the notion of anger as a “repairable” problem internal to a persistent relationship. It never occurred to me that these were terms relevant to jurisprudence.

Drake was a child actor on the Nickelodeon show Drake and Josh and can be currently seen as a contestant on ABC’s diving reality show Splash. He also has a music career but not near the magnitude of Justin Bieber’s.

So that brings us to Twitter.

Drake is in a very heated Twitter war with Justin Bieber fans (Beliebers.) Just take a look at the Tweets below:

“Before I try to beat up the paparazzi I make sure my mascara is perfect!” -Justin Bieber twitter.com/DrakeBell/stat…

How does Justin get his lips so shiny? twitter.com/DrakeBell/stat…

— Drake Bell (@DrakeBell) April 7, 2013

— Drake Bell (@DrakeBell) April 6, 2013

Hey @justinbieber this is a cool pic of you twitter.com/DrakeBell/stat…

I hear marky mark is really upset that @justinbieber stole his look! The 90′s called Justin. They want it back twitter.com/DrakeBell/stat…

— Drake Bell (@DrakeBell) March 24, 2013

I love how the beliebers say haha Drake where is your KCA?! I show them a wall full and they say..”Those are only from nickelodeon lol” ????

— Drake Bell (@DrakeBell) March 24, 2013

Guys get over it! I don’t “hate” Justin bieber!! His fans are the problem!! I’ve never said he was gay or had no talent! It is his fans!!!!

— Drake Bell (@DrakeBell) March 22, 2013

The replies to his Tweets were so awful, I couldn’t put them into this post. However, you can view them by CLICKING HERE.

I saw this ad while I was on the tram and couldn’t make a decent picture. So I took it from the web. It still counts…

When I saw it, I was a bit shocked. I interpreted it as an expression of the stereotypical feud between the two countries.

But when I looked for the picture on the web, I saw this TV-commercial.

Then the ad makes more sense… And then I learnt that the commercial was originally in English and the cookies are now ‘conquering’ France. So that’s why they translated the commercial into French.

So it’s just a bit of self-mockery and not as bad as I thought at the beginning. My mistake…

(April 2013 challenge)

Right. So Drake Bell is a 26 year old male, he is with the company Nickelodeon (or was). If you watched Nickelodeon during the 2000-2009 period, you might of seen Drake and Josh. Well Drake Bell from that TV show was on Twitter one day and he decided to post a very funny photo (in my opinion) of Justin Bieber, and it was photoshopped, so it looked like he was wearing makeup. Many beliebers then hit the scene and commented on Drake. I’ll quote a few, shall I?

NO ONE LIKES YOU DIE!

Now my opinion; I 100% agree with Drake. Drake was tweeting things like “Beliebers have named Justins p£n*s. Disgusting” Well guess what? I totally agree. Who in the world nicknames a p£n*s?!
Considering the fans are a bunch of 5-15 year olds, I don’t think they should be hearing that language. And the way some fans react. If someone dissed my favourite singer or band, I wouldn’t freak out. It’s not a big deal. In this world you know someone will dislike this person, so I don’t let it bother me.

Now my short opinion on JB: He’s gone downhill recently. Millions of stories flooding around saying he’s doing bad things and it’s not good for him atall. And another thing, he thinks hes all cool and hard by sagging his pants and saying “swag.” Well let me tell you something Justin, Swag is not a cool word it just makes you look like an ass to be honest.

I’ll see you in my next post!
Bye x

I just realized after writing the title for this post, that “The Fence” could be many things. It could be a person who sells stolen goods. It could be someone who is particularly good with a foil, sabre or epee. Or it could be some sort of structure that defines boundaries between properties.   I am not talking about stolen goods today. And I hope that it does not come down to a challenge with Foils (I’d lose). Most of my neighbors are nice and distant; on all sides but one. There is a fence between my property and my neighbors’ property at the bottom of the hill.

In purchasing this little place about a year ago, I was not aware that I also purchased THE FEUD. THE FEUD involves THE FENCE and all things connected to THE FENCE. THE FENCE is a run-down, sorry looking bit of old rural wood. Since I now own the property on THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE, it seems that I also own THE FENCE and THE FEUD.

A year ago, when I moved into this fixer, I dropped cookies off to my all neighbors in person. THE FEUD neighbor was not home, so I left them in her screen door with a cheery note. I didn’t want to eat the cookies myself before I had a chance to give them to her in person.

Well, last week we had a severe hail, wind and rainstorm. And now THE FENCE between our properties has begun to fall in earnest. Half of it has determinedly pitched her way, half of it is stubbornly slumped mine. No one knows who put THE FENCE up. It has clearly been there way too long.

Since there is nothing in anyone’s paperwork regarding THE FENCE, I approached her yesterday with the idea of replacing THE FENCE with something cute. I told her that I would post on Craigslist to see if I could find someone to barter with for labor. All that we would have to split, I said, is material costs; hopefully not ‘fenced’ materials.

Her explosion of temper and words after I unveiled my idea is currently unrivaled by any talk show host. I am happy she did not have a saber or a foil. Until that moment, standing on her porch awash in the backlash of her FEUD, I didn’t even know it was a FEUD. As she took a breath to readjust her assault, I took that moment to exit, stage left. As I hastily departed, behind me floated the words, “And your damn cookies made a mess on my porch because of the cat.” The cookies were left a year ago. It took me a moment to even remember what cookies she was talking about yesterday.

I see that today she has a ‘For Sale’ sign in her yard. I guess THE FEUD about THE FENCE was too much for her. This probably means that I have to pay for THE FENCE replacement myself. Anyone want old fence wood for barter or trade?

(stars right away at 11 seconds, and tails off at 1:50)

Shots fired from the Beads! Hinting that her and Andrews don’t like each other. That Andrews paid for her million plus twitter followers. Look, America needs this feud to go somewhere this time. Last time this went down this is all that happened: Beadle was asked about Andrews’ rise in popularity after the Peephole Fiasco and was quoted saying “funny that all worked out.” Clearly saying that she got Kardashian-type fame from that video. But that’s all that came from it.

Now that Beadle and Andrews are at different news organizations and not ESPN, I think it’s time to take the gloves off. Andrews needs to fire back. Both parties could benefit. Beadle could get to those 1million followers and Andrews could stay relevant while college football is out-of-season. It’s a win-win. Maybe they could do a reality show? Those ratings would be through the roof. I’m surprised E! hasn’t already contacted them about it.

But when you make a comment about Adele and her weight, you take on a name…and it’s not a nice one.

During an interview in February Rivers made a comment about how Adele should have named her hit song “Rolling In The Deep” a different title…”Rolling In The Deep Fried Chicken.”

Recently, she revealed that Adele wanted an apology and Rivers commented on her weight again, stating that Adele is very wealthy and she should just “calm down or lose weight.”

She went on to say,  ”And she wanted an apology – so I took an ad out on her a**. I said, ‘You are not fat’, and then I had room left for a lot of other ads. Let’s face reality – she’s fat.”

Comedian Adam Hills blasted Rivers on her comment when he stated that Adele is one of the few women in entertainment that he would want his daughter to look up to.

He also added that Rivers has spent more money on her face to reconstruct it to hide her insecurities, than the director of Life of Pi did to get the tiger for the film. (Not sure what the second part meant, but the first part is a really bad burn!)

Don’t worry Adele, Twitter came to your rescue:

You know what @joan_rivers atleast Adele isn’t plastic like you. She’s real and doesn’t need to change a thing, she’s beautiful in every way

— Laura-Rae Paloma (@LauraaRaee1) April 2, 2013

find it hilarious that joan rivers is mocking adele about her weight even though joan has the worst plastic surgery going

— donnie darko (@vidlerontheroof) March 30, 2013

Joan Rivers making Adele fat jokes -This woman seriously needs to retire. Think before you speak Rivers!

— Thomas Mikhail (@DarkHorse_93) March 30, 2013

Joan Rivers. I love you. But any more comments about Adele’s weight, and I’m gonna have to come after you…
