Toni Braxton Loses Songs After Being Outbid By Someone In Order To Close Bankruptcy Case!

Oh shizzzz!

We thought Toni Braxton‘s bankruptcy case was settled after closing the book on some issues, but it seems one majorly sucky thing resulted from it.

While fighting to end her bankruptcy case, she reportedly agreed to an offer that would give her the chance to keep 27 of her songs if she bought them back for $ 20,000. The only issue was that other people were allowed to outbid her.

And outbid they did as one man, Ross M. Klein, bought the selection of songs for twice what Toni was paying.

The songs he reportedly bought include You’re Making Me High, How Many Ways, and Always, but it is believed Un-Break My Heart is not included, which is great because it’s our fave!

This whole thing might make Toni totes sadsie, but at least she can put the bankruptcy case behind her!

Carry on, gurl!

Caroline Criado-Perez: twitter trolls and narks show us how police bigotry works

PA 17140636 Caroline Criado Perez: twitter trolls and narks show us how police bigotry works

DO the police use an even hand when confronting the Twitter mob in full cry? When Caroline Criado-Perez decried the Bank of England decided to replace Elizabeth Fry with Winston Churchill on new £5 notes – this meant no women, save for The Queens, were on bank notes – she and others who campaigned for equality on folding money brought about a change of heart.

The Bank of England governor, Mark Carney, caved in to pressure and announced that Jane Austen is going on the £10 note.

This brought Criado-Perez to attention of the Twitter brains trust, some of whom called for her to be raped and murdered.

 

Today Scotland Yard said an idiot has been arrested:

“A 21-year-old man has today been arrested in the Manchester area on suspicion of harassment offences. The arrest is in connection with an allegation of malicious communications received by officers in Camden on Thursday, July 25.”

She told Sky News:

“It’s just not acceptable and more than that it’s actually a crime and Twitter needs to take it seriously and the police need to take it seriously.”

Labour’s shadow home secretary and shadow minister for women Yvette Cooper has written to the head of Twitter in the UK. She is “deeply concerned by the handling of serious and violent threats of abuse and rape”:

” … Despite the scale and seriousness of these threats, the official response from Twitter continues to be extremely weak – simply directing Caroline away from Twitter towards the police, and, belatedly, directing users to abuse reporting forms on Twitter.

” … I urge you to go further and ensure that Twitter carries out a full review of all its policies on abusive behaviour, threats and crimes, including more help for Twitter users who experience abuse, a clear complaints process and clear action from Twitter to tackle this kind of persecution.”

But Cooper never did complain when Emma West was targeted. West was the Croydon Tram Lady, the young mother captured on camera belching our racial abuse on public transport. She was wrong; dealt with by the courts. But what of those on twitter who wanted her killed and gang raped? Nothing. The police did not act. You see, West was a bigot. She was also unhinged – an unwell woman. But she said racist things so, it follows that the anti-racist police do nothing to protect her.

Liam Stacey was another pillock who said racist things on Twitter. He was jailed. The tweeters who called for him to be physically hurt and raped were not.

Liam Stacey was sent to prison for 56 days. In sentencing Stacey, district judge John Charles opined:

At that moment, not just the footballer’s family, not just the footballing world, but the whole world were literally praying for his life. Your comments aggravated this situation.”

A racist tweet could do that. The Beak added:

 ”I have no choice but to impose an immediate custodial sentence to reflect the public outrage at what you have done.”

Forget the crime and rule of law. Public outrage is the sentencing gage.

Jordan Blackshaw, 20, from Northwich Town, and Perry Sutcliffe-Keenan, 22, of Latchford, Warrington, were sentenced at Chester crown court to four years prison after admitting using Facebook to try to organise riots. No trouble resulted from their call to arms. But the fashion was for the police and justice system to crack down on rioters. So they went to jail. As yet, demanding that Emma West be deported to Africa and murdered is ok.

The panicky post-Stephen Lawrence police will deal with racists. They will deal with an educated woman who can operate an online petition and speak well to the media. But they will not protect an ill, white working class ill woman who says racist things.  If you are gong to get the Tweeters to act as police narks and grass up the dickheads who say stupid and ugly things online, you need to get them all. If you don’t it just looks like the police are using these trolls to do their PR. Which they are…

The Austen note will be issued within a year of the Churchill £5 note, which is targeted for issue during 2016.

In a stroke of genius that’s aligned with the novels, we can see that the blue-themed set of posters will be publicizing the Victory Tour.

Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) are to embark on this tour as commitment to the Capital after winning at the Hunger Games.

Along the way, Katniss will be catching drift of a rebellion, though the Capitol is seemingly in control as President Snow and his cohorts prepare for the 75th Annual Hunger Games, also known as The Quarter Quell.

The tournament’s held every 25 years – hence its name – which is like an “all-star edition” of all previous winners. The stakes are much higher, definitely.

One of the tributes includes Finnick Odair (Sam Claflin), whose promo image is his first meeting with Katniss.

“He offered me a sugar cube and asked to know all my secrets,” says Katniss in the novel.

Selena Gomez Keeps The 21st Birthday Party Train Rolling With Her Girlfriends!

21 is certainly a big birthday, so you’ve gotta do it up right!

And Selena Gomez has certainly done that as she’s been celebrating all week.

The party train rolled on this weekend as Selenita stepped out last night with her girlfriends – yup, no Justin Bieber – for dinner at Boa in El Lay. But that wasn’t all because the group then headed to Bootsy Bellows where they likely got their groove on!

It’s rumored they had a table, spent the night dancing, and didn’t leave until closing time. Now that is a 21 year old right there!

But the crazy thing is that this isn’t even her BIG birthday celebration because she’s supposedly going back out tonight for a gypsy-themed party!

Damn, girl, even most 21-year-olds can’t keep up with all that!

HAYDEN PANETTIERE Hayden Hits The Town!

Hayden Panettiere Leaves Aventine in Hollywood

Hayden Panettiere stepped out for a night on the town last night! Paparazzi caught up with the ‘Nashville‘ star as she left Aventine Bar and Restaurant in Hollywood. I have a hard time believing Hayden stepped out solo. Perhaps her boyfriend (and rumored fiance) Wladimir Klitschko was feeling camera shy?

Hayden and Wladimir were seen vacationing in Europe earlier this summer, so their reunion seems to be going strong. Hayden is probably gearing up to return to work, since it’s almost August. ‘Nashville’ probably starts shooting next month. I REFUSE to ask “Where did the summer go?” just yet, however. As far as I’m concerned, we still have a month! Is the summer 2013 passing by fast for you?
