Michael Jackson's family maintains his innocence as video of Neverland police raid emerges.

Yesterday, Radar released never-before-seen (by the public—the police have definitely seen them, if they're real) police reports of pornographic materials seized from Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch amid child molestation allegations against him in 2003. Meanwhile, Jackson's family continues to maintain that Jackson is innocent of the 2003 charges, of which he was acquitted in 2005. His estate issued the following statement:

Seven years ago this coming Saturday, the world lost an amazing artist and humanitarian devoted to helping children in need in all corners of the world. Michael Jackson's fans, including the Executors of his estate, prefer to remember the wonderful gifts Michael left behind instead of having to once again see his good name dragged through the mud by tabloid trash.

Everything in these reports, including what the County of Santa Barbara calls "content that appears to be obtained off the Internet or through unknown sources" is false, no doubt timed to the anniversary of Michael's passing.

Those who continue to shamelessly exploit Michael via sleazy internet "click bait" ignore that he was acquitted by a jury in 2005 on every one of the 14 salacious charges brought against him in a failed witch hunt.

Michael remains just as innocent of these smears in death as he was in life even though he isn't here to defend himself. Enough is enough.

According to Vanity Fair, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department told them the following, seemingly confirming the authenticity of some of Tuesday's revelations and casting doubt on others:

Some of the documents appear to be copies of reports that were authored by Sheriff’s Office personnel as well as evidentiary photographs taken by Sheriff’s Office personnel interspersed with content that appears to be obtained off the Internet or through unknown sources. The Sheriff’s Office did not release any of the documents and/or photographs to the media. The Sheriff’s Office released all of its reports and the photographs as part of the required discovery process to the prosecution and the defense.

Monday night, his daughter, Paris, tweeted:

And his nephew Taj tweeted:

Today, in what is presumably meant to imply further evidence against Jackson, Radar released a video of part of the police search of his home.

The video doesn't show a lot—there's a bit of the inside of Jackson's home, including a glimpse of his basement arcade and a little attic room with sloped ceilings that's set up like a kindergarten class. There are a lot of cops standing around. One of them seems to be named Opie. Also, Michael Jackson had a ton of dolls. Not as many dolls as cops in this video, but definitely a lot.

Who even knows at this point. There's no doubt that there's a lot of creepiness going on in the decor. But having evidence of creepiness wasn't enough for the prosecution to get a conviction. There may be more evidence released, but it's really unlikely that Jackson will ever ending up serving any time, mainly because he died in 2009.


And Demi Lovato's back on Twitter. That didn't last long.

Backer than ever, by popular demand. Surprise!—Demi Lovato has returned to Twitter, just one day after saying she was quitting that social media platform as well as Instagram, and just sticking with Snapchat, which happily has no comment system.

So why is she back already? Here are some guesses:

1. She's 23 years old. 23-year-olds change their minds a lot.

2. She's bored and Twitter can be fun (it can also be a pit of eternal darkness, but whatever).

3. She's got shit to say and wants her fans to hear it. Also, her fans love her and want to hear that shit.

4. She loves cursing and there's almost no better way to curse and have almost 37 million people (well, some have to be bots. Let's say 36 million) hear you.

Approximately 30 million of her followers are hiding in her pants legs.

So welcome back, Demi-who-moms-everywhere-get-mixed-up-with-Demi-Moore. It's nice to see you again.

'Game of Thrones' actor explains why Jon Snow's wolf wasn't in the battle.

Spoiler alert for Game of Thrones season 6, episode 9, "Battle of the Bastards." Duh.

The "Battle of the Bastards" is the episode of Game of Thrones no one can stop talking about (so, basically just like every other episode of Game of Thrones). Today's topic is: "Where was Jon Snow's direwolf, Ghost, during the battle?" The answer: doggy daycare. Kidding! The real answer is that Snow chose not to bring him along, on purpose. And apparently Ghost is such a wusswolf he just does whatever Snow says. Pssht.

Ghost Puppy a.k.a. your new band.

Liam Cunningham, who plays "Onion Knight" Davos Seaworth on the show, told Tech Insider: "I would prefer to have Ghost with Davos [rather] than with Jon. Even though it's his direwolf, I just like the idea of an insurance policy." He added,

Yeah that [having Ghost in the battle] would have been cool, [but] obviously a big battle like that is no place for a direwolf. They're not gonna last very long—I mean look at what happened to Wun Wun, the last of the giants.

(Oops, spoiler: RIP Wun Wun.)

In an interview with Business Insider, Miguel Sapochnik, the episode's director, explained what is perhaps the more pragmatic answer:

[Ghost] was in there in spades originally, but it's also an incredibly time consuming and expensive character to bring to life. Ultimately we had to choose between Wun-Wun and the direwolf, so the dog bit the dust.

Thankfully, what Sapochnik really means is: Wun Wun bit the dust and Ghost is fine. Unlike all the other direwolves, who are all dead (right, except maybe Arya's?) because Game of Thrones LOVES killing animals (almost as much as it loves killing people).

"HOW MANY THINGS CAN WE KILL IN THIS EPISODE?" is probably how every writers' room meeting starts, after said writers have finished drinking mugs of kitten blood. But not Ghost, not yet. He's still under contract. Probably chilling in a CGI green room somewhere, eating stale Cheez-its.

That's how direwolves eat Cheez-its.

15 celebrity kids who got wildly expensive gifts that might make up for being born famous.

If you think celebrities have it good, just wait and see how their kids live. Unlike their famous parents they didn't have to start from the bottom, audition, or display any talent whatsoever to afford fancy cars, luxury trips, or designer wardrobes. All they had to do was be born. Money and ridiculously good genetics from day one? Not freakin' fair! Here are 15 celebrity kids who are especially spoiled. Eh, they'll probably turn out fine.

1. Brooklyn Beckham

If your parents are David and Victoria Beckham, you won't just get sneakers for your birthday, you'll get $1500 Yeezys delivered by Kanye West himself. Clearly Brooklyn's outgrown the $50,000 designer treehouse he and his siblings got a few years ago.

Thanks Kanye for the yeezys

2. Suri Cruise

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have spared no expense when it comes to pampering their little princess. In 2013, Daddy reportedly spent $7 million on a private jet for Suri's 7th birthday. Tom better keep cranking out those Mission Impossible movies to keep this little girl living the lifestyle she's used to.

My sweetie ❤️ #setlife #gratitude

3. Blue Ivy Carter

Jay-Z and Beyonce’s baby girl is as spoiled as she is cute. When she turned one, her famous parents reportedly dropped over $200,000 on a birthday party she won't be able to remember. They even spent $80,000 on a custom-made diamond-encrusted Barbie doll. Now there's a Barbie who's setting unrealistic expectations.

4. Justin Combs

If your dad is Puff Daddy then of course you're going to get a car when you turn 16. The question is what kind? Justin Combs got hooked up with a $360,000 Maybach. NBD

5. Reginae Carter

Lil Wayne's daughter got the star treatment for her 16th birthday. Her party was so lush, it had a whole episode of MTV's My Super Sweet 16 devoted to it. Highlights included a performance by Nicki Minaj and a gift from her daddy of not one, but two luxury cars—a BMW and a Ferrari. Dang, need to get adopted by Lil Wayne now!

Thanks mommy and daddy ✨ I love you guys more than life I swear ❤️ #HappyBirthdaytoMe

6. Kendall Jenner

If you're looking for another reason to hate this family, just know that Kris Jenner bought her daughter Kendall a $90,000 Range Rover when she turned 16 in 2011. The whole clan continues to be spoiled, as they constantly remind everyone on social media.

7. Baby Chanel

Ice-T and Coco's baby is insanely cute. You'd have to rob a bank (or star in a hundred Law and Order SVU episodes) to be able to afford her infant wardrobe budget. Everyone can track her tiny fashions on her very own Instagram and Twitter accounts, just try not to get too insanely jealous that a newborn has Louboutin shoes and you don't.

8. Monroe and Moroccan Cannon

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's twins have been showered with gifts since before they were even born. Mariah reportedly spent $20,000 on each of their cribs. Roc and Rowe (best nicknames ever) had a first Birthday bash that was a lavish black tie affair in Paris. The spoiling has continued through all five years of their lives and will likely get turned up a notch now that they are about to have a billionaire step-dad.

9. Max and Emme Muñiz​

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's twins are living the good life to say the least. At birth, they had an entire wing of a house to themselves, as well as 600-thread-count Egyptian cotton crib linens, diamond-encrusted rattles, and a Shetland pony each. Not too shabby.

My idea of a Perfect afternoon... #snuggles #coconuts #LOVE

10. North West

It's no secret that Kanye and Kim spoil their kids. In fact, North West might be the most spoiled baby in Hollywood. She had a personal chef, body guards and $50,000 half-carat earrings all before she turned two. Her life sounds perfect until you remember how much time she has to spend with the Kardashians.

Thank you @disneyland for making all of my princess dreams come true today!

11. Jaden Smith

Will and Jada give their charmingly strange kids Jaden and Willow lots of freedom and lots of presents. Young Jaden was spotted walking around with $5,000 worth of Cartier rings in his hair because of course he was.

12. Louis Bullock

Sandra Bullock's adopted son, Louis can teach his new sister all about being a celebrity kid. When he was just a wee one, his diapers were transported in a $1,000 monogrammed Louis Vuitton diaper bag. At age one(!), he became an art collector when Sandra's agents gave him Andy Warhol's iconic "Peaches" print, which cost $14,000.

13. Coco Arquette

David Arquette wisely gave his 10-year-old daughter with Courtney Cox an $11,500 ring. That's cool. 10 year-olds are always super careful and never lose anything.

My big baby Coco!

14. Prince George and Princess Charlotte

Unlike the other child celebs on this list, little George is real life royalty. Naturally he's showered with gifts by everyone, including world leaders. Among the hundreds of gifts he amassed last year one was a $20,000 playhouse. Perfect for pretend high tea. His lil sis Princess Charlotte isn't being ignored either. She received a boatload of fancy gifts for her christening, including a $44,000 gold rattle. Don't even get started on their adorable little outfits.

15. Justin Bieber

The Biebs is definitely rich enough to buy his own over-the-top swag, but it's the thought that counts. On his 18th Birthday, the singer's manager surprised him with a Fisker Karma (that's a $100,000 sports car) on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. Dang, all Justin's Dad gave him was that Tweet about being proud of his dong.

Frank Ocean wrote a short, beautiful blog post about the Orlando shootings.

Singer Frank Ocean wrote a brief but extremely thought-provoking blog post about the Orlando shooting that left 49 people dead at an LGBTQ+ nightclub earlier this month. Ocean, who is queer (don't worry, that is no longer an offensive word), opened up about his sexuality on his Tumblr back in 2012, saying that coming out made him a "free man." He returned to Tumblr to pen the deeply personal essay, that in one short paragraph beautifully discusses a range of topics from homophobic violence, to religion, to transphobia. Here, in full, is the post.

I read in the paper that my brothers are being thrown from rooftops blindfolded with their hands tied behind their backs for violating sharia law. I heard the crowds stone these fallen men if they move after they hit the ground. I heard it’s in the name of God. I heard my pastor speak for God too, quoting scripture from his book. Words like abomination popped off my skin like hot grease as he went on to describe a lake of fire that God wanted me in. I heard on the news that the aftermath of a hate crime left piles of bodies on a dance floor this month. I heard the gunman feigned dead among all the people he killed. I heard the news say he was one of us. I was six years old when I heard my dad call our transgender waitress a faggot as he dragged me out a neighborhood diner saying we wouldn’t be served because she was dirty. That was the last afternoon I saw my father and the first time I heard that word, I think, although it wouldn’t shock me if it wasn’t. Many hate us and wish we didn’t exist. Many are annoyed by our wanting to be married like everyone else or use the correct restroom like everyone else. Many don’t see anything wrong with passing down the same old values that send thousands of kids into suicidal depression each year. So we say pride and we express love for who and what we are. Because who else will in earnest? I daydream on the idea that maybe all this barbarism and all these transgressions against ourselves is an equal and opposite reaction to something better happening in this world, some great swelling wave of openness and wakefulness out here. Reality by comparison looks grey, as in neither black nor white but also bleak. We are all God’s children, I heard. I left my siblings out of it and spoke with my maker directly and I think he sounds a lot like myself. If I being myself were more awesome at being detached from my own story in a way I being myself never could be. I wanna know what others hear, I’m scared to know but I wanna know what everyone hears when they talk to God. Do the insane hear the voice distorted? Do the indoctrinated hear another voice entirely?

Ocean's last album, Channel Orange, was released in 2012, and touched upon themes of being queer and Christian. Ocean broke barriers by being open about his sexuality in the hip-hop world.

'Game of Thrones' spoiler: the main cast's salaries could fill the Iron Bank.

Season 7 of Game of Thrones is good news for everyone because the show is amazing and addicting. It's better news for the show's main stars because they'll be making a butt-ton of money off the upcoming episodes. Deadline is reporting that some key actors will be making at least $500,000 per episode, which is $200,000 more than they're getting for each season 6 show.

Gazing at that pile of money.

There are a few caveats to this new round of contract negotiations. For starters, there's no guarantee that the actors will survive to see the end of the season or season 8, which hasn't been confirmed but will very likely happen.

The pay raise only concerns Kit Harington, Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. Other actors (like Maisie Williams) have apparently not yet ironed out their contracts. Read into that what you will you fanatic theorists.

Good luck not dying!

Seasons 7 and 8 won't include quite as many episodes according to Variety. The upcoming season will have only seven episodes compared to the usual 10, whereas the final (but unconfirmed) season will only have six episodes. That means whoever makes it to the end of the show is looking at around $6,500,000 for 13 episodes. Not a bad reward for surviving death.

13 real-life bachelor party horror stories to remind you men are gross.

There are certain classic elements of a bachelor party: bros, alcohol, the occasional sex worker. This, combined with the expectation for the groom-to-be to behave like a complete jackass because it’s his “last night of freedom,” can often lead to some really bad choices. These redditors bravely shared their stories of bachelor parties gone wrong.

And chips. You gotta have chips.

1. CrazyPlatosaw some bad rubbing at a bachelor party that’s not the usual bad rubbing at a bachelor party.

I have a friend who had his bachelor party last year. Two of his friends (who were both friendly to each other, but were naturally aggressive and volatile) rubbed each other the wrong way during the first few hours and got into a massive fight. They had to be broken up and sent home. They'd only had time to get one round of drinks at this point.

2. Before you break a glass at your wedding, do like they did at this bachelor party Kejorivwent to and break a bunch of your bones.

I was a groomsmen in a wedding where the bachelor party was a week from the wedding. Groom got so drunk and fell off a deck 3 floors up. Broke both of his wrists and had to have his head shaved so he could get stitches above his right ear. The bride and her family were thrilled. My buddy really hasnt gotten drunk since. This was 4 yeara ago. Ill scan the wedding picture when I have a chance.

3. Of course we all want to hear more of this story from markovitch1928, but it’s far more badass to just say the one part and let it hang there for a while.

We were arrested by the Russian police while walking across a military airfield

4. Take it from EpicSchwinn: make sure you get a makeup artist at your wedding who can cover up massive head wounds.

I nearly missed my wedding for alcohol poisoning/concussion. I drank a fifth of Bullitt, shared a fifth of SoCo with my best man and my groomsmen and I split a 30 rack and a handle of Jack Daniels. I blacked out pretty badly and had a head injury. I passed out not too long after that and in my sleep I was gyrating on the floor. I was cold and my breathing was irregular. They all passed out too.

I woke up like 4 hours before the wedding in a pile of vomit and blood. I drove still drunk to my house. It took 2 hours to shower and get dressed. I had to stop at the gas station to buy some Gatorade. I showed up to to the wedding an hour before the ceremony. Luckily my father in law thought it was hilarious and my wife never knew how bad it was. A groomsman's girlfriend did such a good makeup job on my still bloody forehead that nobody knew. I wasn't sober until I was on the stage watching the bridesmaids come in.

Never ever ever have your bachelor party the night before.

5. DrGameSurgery got his friend so drunk, he forgot that he was a doctor and that he could probably tell if his leg was broken or not.

Doctor here, one of my best friends from med school was getting married. During his stag party he got completely smashed and passed out. We thought it would be hilarious to put his leg in a plaster cast. When he woke up the next morning we told him he'd broken his leg and would be in a cast for 6 weeks. He ended up having his wedding and going on his honeymoon with his leg in plaster. He thought it was hilarious when he got back and we told him, his wife not so much...

6. UrbanGimli went to a carny bachelor party. To say any more would ruin it.

One of my best friends brothers was getting married. He was in his early 40's. Bit of a Neanderthal but whatever, they rent an old beat up veterans hall for his party. I get there and I can tell its not really my crowd as it was full of people who made it to their 40's but still worked as carnies, vending folk at ball games, burger flippers- I grab a beer and find the few friends I did know who were also hanging out on the fringes.

The girls show up ..tease everyone and go into a rest room to change. They ask the bachelor to go into the room with them. They come out ten minutes later, his face is red, he is happy.

They set up for a chair dance. The dancer tries this scissor maneuver over the bachelor that goes horrible wrong. Her stiletto heel gouges him in the cheek. Blood is running down his face, he jumps up, throws her across the room screaming obscenities at her. His face has this long 5 inch gash that ends at his cheek bone. This is two days before his wedding.

He loses it.

Goes after her, she starts running, her dance partner is screaming and throwing chairs at him. Everyone is trying to stop the bachelor. Her outside man comes running from out of nowhere -big NFL linebacker type and knocks the bachelor to the ground, grabs the girls around their waist and runs out the door. Everyone starts chasing after them (Except us, we're stunned) and surrounds their car and starts kicking it, smashing it with chairs, beer cans. They peel out of the parking lot crunching the undercarriage because they drive over a cement parking block. Sparks everywhere ...I'm glad they made it out of there ...but what a mess....

The bride was furious, of course. They postponed the wedding. I thought it was going to be called off but I heard they got married after his face healed up.

7. This story from manbearbatmanillustrates how 90 percent of people get pink eye.

At my buddy's bachelor party his married friend had a prostitute sit on his face and fart on it. I know it's not the groom but he later got pink eye and his wife was trying to figure out how he got pink eye lol

8. Just like RedElectric, we’ve all got that one uncle who gets stabbed a lot.

Well not me personally, but apparently at my fathers bachelor party my there was a giant brawl for some reason and my uncle got stabbed. The stabber was subsequently beat to within an inch of his life. The bar was closed for three months due to the damage. Fun times!

9. This checks off an item on Bumblebee96’s bucket list.

Well apparently at Dad's bachelor party he went around with a bucket to get tips so the Stripper who was hired would put her clothes back on. At the same time the strippers manager who was also her Mother was yelling out commentary about what the girl should do.

10. This party story from funky_duck has everything. A May-December romance, incestuous grinding, and of course, lobsters.

It was a joint bachelor/bachelorette party. The bride was 50-something and the groom was 20-something. Some sexy music came on at the club and the bride's daughter, in her 20's, began to sexy dance with her mom. Like grinding her ass into her crotch. It was weird.

Also the bride's daughter's ex-boyfriend was there (for some reason) and (for some reason) he was armed. She began to make out with a friend of mine, in front of the ex, and I figured it was about an 80% chance of a murder happening.

It was a fun night.

Edit: Also I forgot to add that the ex-boyfriend won a live lobster and carried it around until it died.

11. It’s not a good party unless it makes the 11 o’clock news. Right, skippy100?

My brother in laws party made it on to the local news... Some people ate too many mushrooms and 7 ended up in hospital, one went through a plate glass window and got cup up fairly bad.

So of course the ambulance officers call the police who do a drug raid on the house.

12. Hey, here’s a bachelor party thatreally did make the news!

Some guys In Norfolk, England were getting ready to take a sailboat out for one of their mates' "stag do" (as bachelor parties are called in England), when they noticed a cop car was stuck in some mud. So all 16 British bros got together and got it unstuck from the muck.

13. And here’s another one!

In 2015, a man in Wales got really drunk at a bachelor party. His friends pranked him hard while he was passed out. In an extreme variation of drawing male genitalia on his face, they instead tattooed glasses on his face. Get it? Permanent beer goggles. LOL?


Calysta Bevier's 'Fight Song' performance thaws Simon Cowell's frozen heart on 'America's Got Talent.'

America's Got Talent has had a lot of great auditions this year, but Calysta Bevier takes the cake because she's a 16-year-old stage 3 ovarian cancer survivor and an incredible, perfect singer. Plus, she's rather endearing when she's interacting with the judges. Listen to her sing "Fight Song."

Bevier's performance sounded like a professionally produced track.

The confusingly good rendition earned a Golden Buzzer from Simon Cowell, which the judges and host Nick Cannon can only give out once. That means that Simon Cowell has a heart and Bevier will soon be a star.

Beautiful smiles all around.

Bevier isn't exactly a stranger to TV. She was on Ellen at the end of last year, where she performed with Rachel Platten, the original singer of "Fight Song."

Bevier sounded good there, too.

Falling in love might bring out the best in people, but planning a wedding brings out the absolute worst. People wrapped up in the wedding-industrial complex—from planners, to singers, to tuxedo fitters—shared crazy their scariest wedding horror stories on Reddit, revealing that not matter how much madness you see at the wedding, it gets even crazier behind the scenes.

1. Sillykitty1990's client claimed 365 days to herself.

A bride once called having a melt down because her friend got engaged as well and was planning to get married in the same year as she was... Apparently it was her special year and not just a day. She threw a huge fit that this girl was only getting married to "steal her thunder"... Yes, because no one else can have a life at the same time as you. Her friends date wasn't even in the same month or season. Hers was in October and her friends was in June.... Brides sometimes don't think rationally.

2. Groomzillas are real, and BANNEDFROMALAMO's friend has the bruises to prove it.

Friend is a photographer. Does weddings. Got punched in the face by the groom because the groom decided that the photographer was "taking too many photos of the bride."

Weddings seem to bring out the worst in humanity.

3. Tywy90's story is indeed colorful.

I'm booking a wedding at my store. Young couple comes in and is picking stuff out. As usual the guy is pretty i don't care about things. Brides are never happy about this attitude.

We go through for a bit, but when it comes to picking vest styles they get into a huge argument right in front of me and my colleague. Eventually the Groom throws up his hands and says "if we can't decide what Colors then we just shouldn't get married!" And walks out the door and leaves in his car.

The girl starts crying in our store while we are just bewildered. My colleague asked if she was ok. She said she was having someone come pick her up and walked out the door crying.

Never saw them again. Hands down a famous story in our store.

4. ClassicJenny has the perfect pitch for the sequel to J.Lo's movie The Wedding Planner.

I'm not a wedding planner, but I do work in the industry and my friend is the wedding planner I'm telling this story about.

He is a good looking, straight male that has an amazing eye for design and detail. He can do everything from wedding dress design and execution, flowers, you name it. And his services are not cheap.

He had a bride who called him up a few days before her wedding and told him she couldn't go through with the wedding because she was in love with someone else. The conversation went something like this:

Bride: "I can't marry him, I just don't love him anymore, I think I'm in love with someone else!"

Him: "What do you mean you're in love with someone else!? Your wedding is in 5 days!"

Bride: "Well.... I'm in love with you. You just GET me! I've never met anyone else like you!"

Him: "...Do you know how much your parents are paying me to get you?!"

She ended up getting married 5 days later and it was never mentioned again.

5. Toronto_Planner has met some surprisingly un-polite Canadians.

I am a wedding/special event planner in Toronto. I own my own planning company, and I have been in the industry for about 8 years.

I have so many horror stories that I don't know which to choose.

1. I had a bride that openly spoke utter and complete shit about the grooms family (in front of his face). She would say that they were "crazy, unclassy and annoying", and come the wedding, her family was actually the hardest family I ever had to deal with, and the grooms family was absolutely lovely. On top of all this, the bride yelled at all of the vendors all day, resulting in the videographers leaving after just 1 hour of shooting, the photographer cried in the bathroom, and the groom and the brides cousins apologized to me for her behaviour all night.

2. I had one horrible bride who I planned an amazing wedding for. She raved about how much she loved the food all evening, but the day after the wedding, she wrote a bad review about the caterer on yelp, and told me she wouldn't remove it unless they gave her a discount. She's a horrible person.

3. I had one horrific couple that didn't care about anyone. The groom was 30 minutes late for the ceremony, but it was no big deal, because the bride was 2 hours late. After the ceremony, we had to shorten cocktails to make up for lost time. The couple got wasted in their limo, and both ended up falling asleep. They were both so late for their own reception, that I had the venue serve dinner without them. Their parents were furious. The brides parents left early, and the couple didn't arrive until 11 at night. Half of their guests left before they arrived, and they yelled at me for allowing dinner to start before their arrival. (This was a 400 guest wedding)

4. I had a really high strung groom who yelled at a one of his young guests (the kid was 12) for sitting out of his assigned seat, and told the kid and his parents to leave. Later at night, the brides father (who was single) made out with one of the bridesmaids, and the groom punched him. We had to call an ambulance, and the groom was arrested.

6. AnaphylacticHippo's story has the Ex Factor.

I have extensive experience as an events coordinator, including private events such as weddings.

The worst I've personally witnessed had a grooms baby mama (and ex fiancé) come to the reception uninvited. She grabbed the wedding cake, chucked it at the newlyweds, and began screaming how he was a deadbeat dad while she grabbed table wine bottles that she smashed on the ground. Everyone was stunned in shock at first, but the ex fiancé was ultimately restrained by the groomsmen. We called the police, and she was charged with assault, assault with a weapon (from waving around a wine bottle and clocking a groomsman,) and destruction of private property (both from the couple and the venue.) What a charmer. In the end, the parents of the groom asked me to arrange a lovely (and secret) private dinner for the newlyweds and their bridal party to make up for the fiasco.

Tl;dr: Psycho baby mama showed up, destroyed reception. So, not quite bridezilla, but the groom dodged marrying one.

7. M39w7h saw a bridezilla who bites.

I work as a Hotel Manager and we see bridezillas all the time.

The worst was when a bride was so upset that she couldn't fit all of her bridesmaids on one shuttle back from the reception (they took two vans on a 10 minute trip back to the hotel and it only seats 12) that she tried to physically assault the driver.

He left her on the side of the road when she tried to bite him.

The kicker? When the groom found out and came to get her- she was acting so crazy he went to pick her up with her parents and when they found her trudging back down the highway and heard her sh-tty attitude they left her there too. x3

8. The cops are invited to the weddings at unverifiedscrobbler1's place.

1. The groom got mega plastered and smashed a bottle of cognac on the dance floor and literally tried to set in on fire. The function supervisor tried to tell him very politely that he couldn't and he got a it upset about that and started screaming "this is my wedding and if I want to burn this place down I will" cops were called.

2. It was speeches time and another wedding and bride gets up to say a few things about how her deceased mother was an inspiration to her etc. general heartfelt wedding stuff. Her father stands up after and had a few words to say. "You ungrateful little cunt, you're the spitting image of your dead mother. Never thanking me for anything. I paid $40k for this and I don't even get a mention. Fuck you and your dirt husband." Security stepped in at this point and tried to calm him down so he takes a swing at security and get kicked out. Cops were called

9. Salad dressing viscosity is important business, bebemochi.

We had a groom come to his tasting, which consisted of the least expensive (but still quite nice) menu. He immediately declared that one salad dressing was "too runny" (ranch) while the other was "too thick" (blue cheese) and it only went downhill from there. He argued about everything from the shade of the napkins to the temperature of the room. His fiancee did not care about a single thing.

10. Okistheplacetobe's bride had a busy second trimester.

I had a bride rent our facility for her "classy" wedding. She was a Bitch with a capital B. She refused to make eye contact with any staff member, got people's attention by snapping her fingers at them, and made a complete and total fool of herself when she and her groom showed up plastered to the reception. A rumor had started to spread that she was pregnant, which is why they were getting married. She furiously denied this in a speech to everyone gathered at the wedding. The baby was born five months later, a healthy 10 lbs.

11. Madmaxine's color scheme is comedy gold.

I'm watching a shit show unfold as we speak. The wedding isn't until November, but the bride is already the most zilla of anything I've ever encountered. Hailing from the great Midwest, this bride has decided that everyone needs to fly down the New Orleans for the wedding. Her soon to be in-laws are a pretty large family, but only the guys are allowed to be in the wedding. The women are just supposed to hang out and do nothing while the wedding party parades around town all week. Not a huge deal, but still annoying to pay for a trip you can't even spend with your whole family.

But here's where it gets good. The bride emailed the dress specifications to all the ladies.

1. Blush/Champagne/Gold/Taupe family

2. Floor length dress

3. Can be shimmery/sparkly/sequinned

4. Column/empire waist/sheath shape - no mermaid style

5. No white/gray/ivory/silver

6. No color blocking

7. Try to stay away from lace

8. *See bottom of email for inspiration photos

Should I note that these women are not in her wedding party at all, but guests?

12. Abqkat sees a lot suiting people up.

Obligatory "not a wedding planner," but worked at a tuxedo shop for ~10 years in high school, and then college. So many come to mind, many of the typical 'bridezilla persuasion,' but notably:

  • The groom and bride that (while booking their tuxedos) had an awkward moment regarding kids. He said that "aw, that'd be a nice name for a son" and she was shocked and insisted that kids weren't in her future. Awkward.

  • Recovering alcoholic engaged to a woman that insisted on an open bar, and got blackout drunk at the reception. That can't be good.

  • A groom who made more than a few "jokes" about not wanting to get married and how she's making him. They lasted 8 months.

  • A bridesmaid that continually hit on me. I was flattered, but, alas, am not a lesbian.

  • A WoW themed wedding - nothing wrong with this one, they're both lovely people and still married, I just thought that was a clever homage to their hobby and meet-story

  • A bride that was 5-months along that refused to acknowledge the bump (er, a little bit of weight gain that she'll lose by the wedding, in her words) or have her dress taken out. That was a tough one to navigate, and literally no one (her family or his included) cared at all that she was pregnant. Bizarre.

  • The mother-of-the-bride that was taking bets at the reception on how long it'd last

  • The name callers. Miserable people. Remember the birthing suite that Rachel and Ross shared with that couple? Yeah, like that.

... I have had a lot of memorable weddings from that job. Being a fly on the wall at weddings is an interesting experience!

Rihanna brought to tears by audience knowing her lyrics. No, it wasn't 'Work.'

Rihanna broke into tears at her Dublin concert on Tuesday while the audience sang along with her to "Love the Way You Lie." RiRi is currently in Ireland for her ANTI World Tour. She simply couldn't handle the fact that the fans knew every single lyric to the song.

RTE reports that she acknowledged her emotion and thanked the crowd:

I only have ever in my life heard an audience of people scream so loud that they sound like one voice and that only happens in Ireland, in Dublin... Thank you so much.

Here's video from the performance. She pretty much loses it immediately:

If the crowd really wanted to impress her, they should have sung along to one of her fast-tempo Caribbean jams, like "Pond de Replay."

Jamie Lynn Spears reveals how she didn't let being a pregnant teen turn her into 'Teen Mom.'

Just after Jamie Lynn Spears' character Zoey on Zoey 101 graduated Pacific Coast Academy, the actress found out that she was pregnant. Now 25, the younger sister of pop star Britney opened up in People magazine about finding out that she was pregnant in a gas station bathroom.

"My biggest concern was, 'Oh my goodness, I need to tell my mother and father and my family,'" she says. The baby's father was her then-boyfriend Casey Aldridge, with whom she broke up two years later.

As a Nickelodeon star, Spears felt a lot of pressure to set an example for her fans. "I was on a Nickelodeon show, so I felt responsible for what these young girls were gonna think looking up to me," she says. "I put myself in an adult situation, so I needed to handle it like an adult. My age was never an excuse for me."

Spears was committed to overcoming the teen mom stigma. She gave birth to her daughter MaddieBriann on June 19, 2008, and since then, has mostly stayed away from the public eye to focus on raising her daughter. She moved to Nashville, and found creative collaborators in the country songwriting community. After working on honing her voice, she is jumping back into the scene, with a country music album and a TLC documentary special.

She's working on making it as a country singer, her style more similar to Carrie Underwood than to her sister.

While she's committed to giving her daughter a normal upbringing, she does admit there are perks to Maddie having a famous mom and an über-famous aunt. The family all went to the Billboard Music Awards to see Aunt Britney receive the Icon award, and Maddie, was "just like any other little kid [would be in that situation]. She's like, 'Hey, am I gonna get to see Fifth Harmony?' or 'Oh my gosh, Ariana Grande is gonna be here!'"

While having a kid as a kid presented a lot of challenges, Spears said it helped her find her voice as a singer.

Dude learns the hard way not to gobble the excess cereal that falls on your shirt.

Every single piece of cereal is precious, but if you're going to treat each Sugar Smack like a piece of gold, at least look at it before you plop it in your mouth. A redditor posted his gruesome tale to the infamous subreddit "Today I Fucked Up." As usual, the title is absolutely crucial to the brief tragicomedy.

"TIFU by eating a crumb off of my shirt"

... without looking down first.

Plain and simple, I was eating dry cereal out of a bowl with my hands and dropped one on my shirt. I reached down, eyes focused on Reddit is Fun, picked up the piece and put it in my mouth and chewed. An awful taste and a weird texture later, I spat the object out to realize it was one of those damn stink bugs and happened to be crawing up my shirt at the wrong place and the wrong time.

TL;DR: chewed a stink bug

It's worse when you see the Wikipedia picture of a stink bug.

Mmm.

Probably more nutritional value than a Frosted Flake, but a little too much oozing in the offing.

The reason the Kardashian sisters warmed up to Blac Chyna is surprisingly sympathetic.

It is no secret that the Kardashian sisters are not huge fans of their brother Rob's fiancé, Blac Chyna, who definitely is not just marrying into the family to capitalize off their famous name, no way. There are a ton of reasons why the Kardashians aren't huge Chyna fans, including the fact that she has a baby with Kylie's ex Tyga and is BFF's with Kanye's ex, Amber Rose. Despite it all, People is now reporting that the Kardashian sisters have decided to welcome Blac Chyna into the family with semi-open, reluctant arms because they feel that Chyna's relationship with their brother may have saved his life.

Here's a graph to help you navigate the weirdly incestuous situation.

Rob disappeared from the spotlight for about three years and gained over 100 pounds, and his sisters were definitely concerned for his mental and physical well-being. Thanks to Chyna's good influence, the male Kardashian is slowly making his way back into the public eye as he continues to lose weight under her boot-camp like exercise routines that he chronicles on social media. An insider source told People, "The girls literally thought Rob was going to die. They feel like Chyna saved him."

💪🏽 Chy is training me

A video posted by ROBERT KARDASHIAN (@robkardashian) on

In fact, Rob is feeling so good that he agreed to a docu-series about his life with Chyna, called Rob & Chyna(you all must be so excited to hate-watch).

So congrats to Rob for embracing a healthier lifestyle and congrats to Chyna for successfully infiltrating the Kardashian kamp, but we will see how long this kumbaya lasts. The Kardashians know damn well that families who function normally and get along don't get ratings.


Guy suspicious that his housekeeper's stealing discovers she's actually stealing his wife.

Over in Reddit's relationships forum, 36-year-old feelingveryconfused is feeling very confused because his housekeeper has been hooking up with his wife of nine years. Now he needs to find a new housekeeper. And maybe a new wife.

Train wreck/car crash/general disaster you can't look away from coming up ahead.

At first, it simply seemed like the housekeeper was stealing, which would've been a welcome discovery compared to the truth.

Our housekeeper is a 25 year old LPN student at a local college. She came highly recommended by a pastor friend of mine who had used her to clean their house for a few years before he moved. She is an excellent housekeeper, no problems there.

About a month ago I noticed that my seiko watch was missing. I looked for it for a whole week, and then magically it appeared back on the dresser the day she cleaned. I questioned her about it and she said she found it behind the dresser, however, I remember looking behind the dresser very well because ... well I assumed thats where it would have fallen.

There were other things over the last year that got moved around or suspiciously missing but then reappeared but you get the idea. I was so sure that I had looked behind the dresser I decided to set up a trail camera kind of nestled behind a bookshelf overlooking our bedroom, and more importantly, all of our expensive stuff like jewelry and handgun (yes in a small locked handgun safe)

Turns out, this camera was a good or terrible idea, depending on how you look at it and feel about hidden cameras.

The camera has been up for 2 weeks now, and last week (she cleans on mondays) and I noticed her spend a curious amount of time in our closet, but otherwise nothing out of the ordinary. Its also just picture mode so its hard to tell exactly whats going on.

When I got home that night I checked the closet and could see that she appeared to have moved our "toy" bag if that makes sense., everything appeared to be clean, so I had no idea if she had actually messed with anything inside or not.

Oh, she's messing with something.

I decided to wait and see if anything more concrete would surface. This week, I went out of town monday morning (06/20) for a 1 night business trip, and I got back late last night. After everyone was in bed I took the card out of the camera and checked the pictures.

What I saw made we want to throw up. You can see her come in and start cleaning, and then after about 30 minutes there's another picture of her going into the closet, and then coming back out with the toy bag. She lays on my bed, right where my wife usually sleeps, and starts to play with a vibrating egg. Its hard to tell exact toys because of the resolution, but this one has a cord so Im pretty sure. The next thing I see is my wife walk in, and sit on the bed. If she was surprised I couldn't tell from the pictures.

My heart started pounding. I am thinking that my wife just caught her in the act! Why hasn't she told me about this???? It looks like they just talk for a bit. Then, the housekeeper leans over and the next picture shows her head between my wifes legs.

There are 6 pictures of this, and some that show toys being used.

At no time was there any kissing, but I could have missed it. Just purely sexual. All total there were 57 pictures, but only about 15 of them were related to this. Its really hard to piece the whole story together with pictures (there's a 1 minute delay on the camera between pics, plus it has to be triggered by motion)

Seems to be this guy's 29-year-old wife and the housekeeper are having an affair. Obviously this is Reddit so you never really know what's real or not, but if the above account is legitimate, there's really only one conclusion to draw.

Feelingveryconfused believes this situation is slightly muddled because the couple has talked about a threesome.

I am feeling so confused. I love my wife. She is an awesome person and I don't know of any infidelity in our relationship. I also HATE the fact that I found this whole episode to be arousing yet made me want to vomit.

I know I have to address it, I just don't know what to say. The truth is, she has fantasized about being with a woman and we have actually talked about having a woman join us if we could find the right one.

But not like this!

Am i overreacting???​

tl;dr: Thought housekeeper was stealing, instead found her looting my wife. I am feeling incredibly confused, betrayed and aroused. I don't know WTF to do.

Can't really help you there, feelingveryconfused, though it still sounds like your wife is cheating on you.

Hm, considering that this guy caught his housekeeper going down on his wife and his first reaction was to ask for help on Reddit, this does not appear to be a case of overreacting.

Redditors have so far chimed in to say that this guy should talk to his wife and fire the housekeeper. In the comments, feelingveryconfused added that divorce isn't on his mind, but betrayal is.

If this were a guy, I think I would probably be raged beyond asking for advice on reddit advice forums. But its such a strange feeling. There's not really any jealousy feelings, just a bit of anger and this strange feeling of sadness because I might have gone along with this had I know about it ahead of time. I just feel betrayed.

At this point, feelingveryconfused has decided that emotionally he can only handle shooting his cheating wife a text about her getting served by the housekeeper. Perhaps that doesn't seem like the best way to address their relationship, but it's 2016, guys. Human relationships won't take place in person again anytime soon.

Wife leaves husband bathroom mirror notes that are sweet in an extremely mean way.

A tweet by St. Louis-based photographer Michael B. Thomas has gone viral in the past week for giving the whole world a new relationship goal. As Thomas shared, his wife likes to leave notes for him taped to their bathroom mirror. But because his wife is also his best friend, those notes are less tender and more ball-busty than you might expect.

The notes read:

You look dusty

Your hairline is uneven

You ain't even that cute!

Now that's a great marriage. Even if Thomas's hairline is uneven, that smile on his face is solid gold. The internet certainly thinks so—his picture has been retweeted more than 17,000 times in only four days. As for what his wife thinks of her newfound viral fame, you can probably guess.

This woman needs to be on TV.

Claudia Jordan takes back her comments on Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes. She 'misspoke.'

For a short period of time, the world could revel in the love between Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx because Foxx's friend, Claudia Jordan, outed the couple on the podcast Allegedly with Theo Von & Matthew Cole Weiss. Now she's saying it was all lies, all of it. Nothing is true, love is fake.

Not pictured: Jamie Foxx pressuring Jordan to take it all back.

More specifically, Jordan told Entertainment Tonight, “I have no knowledge of Jamie with Katie, at all. I've never seen them together. He's never told me he's dating her.” Jordan really tried to dig herself out of this hole, most likely after Jamie Foxx called her up.

Jordan was apologetic that she had to retract her interesting piece of gossip. "Sorry to not have this bombshell story, but I cannot confirm that." She claimed she "misspoke" when she said Foxx "is very happy" with Holmes.

"Misspoke" doesn't sound like the right word to use here. "Betrayed my friend's secret" is a more suitable phrase.

Honestly, all this confirms is that Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx really don't want people to know they're together, if they are. Why do they not wish for the paparazzi to film them enjoying their private life?

Prince Harry had the cutest way of crushing the dreams of a little girl who proposed to him.

Prince Harry was at a rugby skills workshop for kids in Edgeley, England, on Tuesday, where he greeted fans and received a marriage proposal from a six-year-old girl named Lottie. According to People, she made her motivations clear and simple when she said "I want to marry you. I want to be a princess." Not a bad plan, and she knows what she wants.

Harry declined the proposal, and squashed the idea of fairy tales, saying: "You don't want that – there's too big an age gap. You've been reading a lot of books."

Good for Harry. When he finally settles down, it sounds like he will marry a woman his own age, just like his brother William.

Here's Prince Harry showing off his rugby skills with some kids and the England Under 20s team, which must have at least partly inspired Lottie's proposal:

Pregnant side chick texts the wrong person, crazy memes and frustration ensue.

An Imgur gallery posted on Sunday by someone going by the username "OddOod" shows the back and forth between a pregnant woman and another person who the aforementioned pregnant woman thinks is her baby daddy's girlfriend, but who actually is not. Still following? There's not a whole lot of behind-the-screengrabs information on this exchange, but it's a funny one.

Initially, the pregnant woman texts, "I just thought id [sic] should tell you. Youre [sic] boyfriend made me pregnant."

The recipient, who has no idea who this woman is, texts back "Oh no! Which boyfriend?" The unnamed pregnant woman (who will henceforth be referred to as PW) texts back, "What do you mean which boyfriend? [Curse word] this is serious!" Not to the recipient, it's not. Far from it, actually.

So the recipient starts texting back pictures of various famous Sams, like Sam from Lord of the Rings and Sam from Game of Thrones.

Clearly it is not any of those Sams.

PW assumes the reason "Sam's girlfriend" (who is definitely not Sam's girlfriend) is not taking the situation seriously is that Sam is a bad dater, and his girlfriend is "crazy" to stay with him. And therefore she is now involved in a text fight with a crazy person.

The recipient takes a few moments to correct PW's terrible grammar, and to point out that the "food places" PW mentioned are usually just called "restaurants." But if Sam is really low enough, he probably hasn't been taking PW to actual restaurants, so maybe that's not a fair assessment.

When PW gets fed up with the recipient and asks if she "has" Sam, she finds out that unfortunately Sam's locked in the "boot" (or "trunk" for those of you not in England) of the recipient's car.

The "Your sarcasm is so perfect they think you're serious" meme is not really apt here, since there's not really any perfect sarcasm going on. But whatever.

Aaaannnd at this point, PW finally realizes she's probably got the wrong number. Oh, you think?

PW apologizes, but then calls the recipient a "psycho" when he/she maintains that Sam is still locked in the car. Probably without any food or water, even! Why isn't she more worried about Sam?! Oh, right, because he's a tool.

Well, at least PW managed to use the correct version of "you're" this time. So that's an improvement. No trouble spelling "bitch" either.

So, moral of the story: if you're going to get knocked up by a guy who has a girlfriend, double check the phone number before you start texting her the unfortunate news. And also, if you sleep with a guy who has a girlfriend, don't be surprised when he doesn't care that he's knocked you up. Or when he takes you to bad "food places."
