Brad Pitt Attacked

+Brad Pitt was attacked in Hollywood. Brad Pitt almost got face-planted by an infamous Ukrainian prankster who rushed the movie star Wednesday outside the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles. The hunky heartthrob had arrived late with his family to the premiere of Angelina Jolie’s “Maleficient,” which also stars their 4-year-old daughter Vivienne as a young Aurora.


Pitt was strolling the red carpet when 25-year-old Vitalii Sediuk — wearing maroon pants, a dark jacket and casual loafers — leapt over the security barrier and tried to get his hands on one of the world’s most famous kissers. Sediuk ended up facedown over a security barrier — checkered underwear exposed — as security grabbed him and hauled him away from Pitt.
The Ukrainian prankster was detained by the Los Angeles police and faced a misdemeanor battery charge. He is being held on $20,000 bail. Pitt was later seen laughing over the incident as he continued on his way into the theater.
This incident marks the Sediuk’s fourth celebrity prank of the year. Earlier this month, he tried to crawl under the back of America Ferrera‘s dress at the ‘How to Train a Dragon 2′ screening at the Cannes Film Festival.

His first prank of 2014 came in January, when he hugged Bradley Cooper’s crotch on the red carpet of the Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. In February of this year, he made the same move on Leonardo DiCaprio‘s crotch at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. In February 2013, the 25-year-old appeared onstage to crash Adele’s acceptance speech at the Grammys. He was charged with trespassing and spent the night in jail.

Sisters Gang Raped And Hung

A group of men, including at least two police officers, raped and killed two teenage sisters in rural India then hung their bodies from a mango tree, authorities said Thursday, announcing the arrests of four men. Villagers found the girls’ bodies hanging from the tree Wednesday morning, hours after they disappeared from fields near their home in Katra village in Uttar Pradesh state, police Superintendent Atul Saxena said. The girls, who were 14 and 15, had gone into the fields because there was no toilet in their home.

Hundreds of angry villagers stayed next to the tree for the rest of Wednesday, silently protesting alleged police inaction in the case. Indian TV footage showed the villagers sitting under the girls’ bodies as they swung in the wind, and preventing authorities from taking them down from the tree until the suspects were arrested.

The villagers accused the chief of the local police station of ignoring a complaint by the girls’ father Tuesday night that the girls were missing. The station chief has since been suspended. The family belongs to the Dalit community, also called “untouchables” and considered the lowest rung in India’s age-old caste system.

India tightened its anti-rape laws last year, making gang rape punishable by the death penalty, even in cases where the victim survives. The new laws came after the fatal gang rape of a 23-year-old woman on a moving bus in New Delhi that triggered nationwide protests.

Records show a rape is committed every 22 minutes in India, a nation of 1.2 billion people. Activists say that number is low because of an entrenched culture of tolerance for sexual violence, which leads many cases to go unreported. Women are often pressed by family or police to stay quiet about sexual assault, experts say, and those who do report cases are often subjected to public ridicule or social stigma.

Apple Buys Beats Conformation

The official Beats By Dre Twitter account confirmed reports of the deal being official with a simple, clever tweet. +Applenws has bought Beats from +Dr Dre. The business deal that sent both the business and hip-hop world into a frantic frenzy has officially gone through, despite reports surfacing over the weekend of several snags, including a citation of premature announcemenet, that put the deal in jeopardy. 

Dr. Dre & Jimmy Iovine both became Apple executives, as the cellphone and software company officially acquires Beat Music for a whopping 3 billion dollars (2.6 billion in cash, 400 million in equities), and they pose alongside Apple CEO Tim Cook, and another Apple executive in charge of internet services, Eddy Cue, in an era-defining photograph.

John Janick, who has already practically been running Interscope’s day-to-day operations (according to a Billboard report), is Jimmy Iovine’s hand-picked successor at Interscope, and once Iovine has made his full transition from label exec to Apple power-player, Janick will be handed the reigns of one of music’s most powerful and successful labels, especially as of late.

Jay Z Splits From Longtime Business Partner

Jay Z has ended his partnership with John Meneilly, a man he once called his ‘consigliere.’
On to the next one. Jay Z and Solange Knowles may have (publicly at least) squashed whatever beef led to their now-infamous elevator brawl, but Hova and his longtime business manager are over.

Music industry insiders exclusively tell Confidenti@l that Jay Z has cut ties with John Meneilly, who helped build the “Empire State” rapper’s empire. Music industry insiders tell Confidenti@l that news of Meneilly’s departure started making the rounds shortly before Memorial Day weekend.

The former Provident Financial executive is largely credited with navigating the rise of the Rocawear clothing line, which Jay Z sold off for $200 million in 2007 while maintaining marketing and licensing rights. Meneilly is also credited as one of the architects behind Jay Z’s huge deal with Samsung last year, which instantly moved a million copies of the rapper’s “Magna Carta Holy Grail.” Meneilly was also a chief player at Roc Nation, which has grown from a record label to a talent management group that reps Yankee CC Sabathia and former Bronx Bomber Robinson Cano.

The “99 Problems” rapper is having a rough couple of weeks for sure. In addition to a surveillance video that went public of his sister-in-law pummeling him after the Met Ball gala in mid-May, photos of Jay and Bey sufaced in the Hamptons last weekend while his “Watch the Throne” collaborator Kanye West was marrying Kim Kardashian in Europe. Jay Z is also being sued for $7 million by an artist who says the rapper ripped off his Roc-A-Fella records logo design in 1995. Jay Z’s legal team is trying to postpone that case while Mr. and Mrs. Carter are on tour this summer.

Former Microsoft CEO To Buy Clippers For $2 Billion

Former Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer won a frenetic bidding war for ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers, with his $2-billion offer setting a record price for an NBA team, The Times has learned. Ballmer, who was chief executive of Microsoft for 14 years, was chosen over competitors that included Los Angeles-based investors Tony Ressler and Steve Karsh and a group that included David Geffen and executives from the Guggenheim Group, the Chicago-based owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The sale price is almost four times the highest previous NBA franchise sale price — the $550 million paid earlier this month for the Milwaukee Bucks. It is second only to the Dodgers’ 2012 sale for $2.1 billion as the highest price for any sports team in North America. The prospective sale by Clippers co-owner Shelly Sterling comes five days ahead of an NBA hearing to oust her family from ownership following a controversy in which Donald Sterling insulted African-Americans in a secret audio recording.

The tentative deal still must receive the blessing of her husband, Donald Sterling, who has waxed and waned on the question of whether he would allow his wife to sell the team he has controlled for more than three decades. The deal also needs the eventual approval of 29 other NBA owners, but is expected to clear that hurdle as long as Ballmer reaffirms his pledge to keep the team in Los Angeles and not move it to Seattle, where he lives.

Why They Hating


Kind of like the photo say above, "before you ask someone why they hate you, ask your why should you even care." Some people hate each other because they grow up feeling insecure, "small" and vulnerable, whether because of parenting, poverty, 'karma', or randomness. Yes people do hate other people..Even though this is wrong.

There was a recent problem with me at work selling movies on the job, so someone took it upon themselves to tell the front office on me. After that, I find out there selling movies now too. Like really, how small do you get.

To be honest... people don't hate each other for no reason. Some would say, "we don't hate each other, It is just that we have been misunderstood by each other."  I never really get why people dislike each other so much. Yet people in the past have done things to hurt me but its not like I hate them.

There are more that ten rap groups in the city of Lima, Ohio, but none of them know how to sell their music digitally but me. So when i'm asked about it, I tell them "the game is to be sold, not to be told." It's not that i'm holding a secret back from them, its just thats my way of making my studio stand out from the rest of them.

LittleBits Teams Up With NASA

+littlebitz has teamed up with +NASA to teach youngsters about space travel. littleBits is an opensource library of electronic modules that snap together with magnets for prototyping, learning and fun. Without a way for people to openly share and iterate on each other’s work without fear of repercussion.

Along with others in the fledgling open hardware industry, Bdeir helped to launch the first Open Hardware Summit in 2010, where hundreds of attendees converged on New York City to not only showcase their own open-source projects, but to provide input on the future of open hardware design.

As a figure in the open-source community, Bdier also actively worked on what would become Open Source Hardware Definition 1.0, which remains the foundation for open-source hardware guidelines. The definition gives freedom to inventors who wish to tweak, expand, or otherwise use designs that bear the open-source hardware logo, and is one of the single greatest steps toward an open hardware future so far.

Mykki Blanco Arrested

Gay rapper +Mykki Blanco has just been arrested in Portugal for being gay. Blanco sent a statement to Noisey, explaining that the arrest occurred after he got into an argument with a taxi stand employee, who he claims was treating him unfairly. When he went to a police officer for help, the police officer allegedly called him a homophobic slur. Mykki told the officer to “go f— himself” and was promptly arrested afterwards.

Gay rapper Mykki Blanco has been gaining widespread appeal across the globe with his buzz worthy albums. But while touring in Portugal this week, the rapper was shown anything but praise and love when he was arrested at the Lisbon airport. More than racism or even homophobia (which was also a factor) I realized that class matters and that an upwardly mobile black man isn’t something people always want to see.

Tennessee Brings Back The Electric Chair

Rumors are that Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam has signed a bill into law allowing the state to electrocute death row inmates in the event prisons are unable to obtain lethal injection drugs. In a related report by The Inquisitr, the state of Utah is considering bringing back firing squad executions for their death penalty because it’s considerably cheaper than lethal injection and other methods. But some people also say it’s a better way to go.

The electric chair legislation overwhelmingly passed both the Tennessee House (68 to 13) and Senate (23 to 3) back in April, but Republican Governor Bill Haslam only recent signed the bill into law. A Vanderbilt University poll on the death penalty found that 56 percent of voters in Tennessee support the electric chair, while 37 percent are against it.

The reason the electric chair bill came up in the first place is because states are finding it increasingly harder to obtain the right mix of drugs required for the lethal injection from suppliers after Europe led a boycott against drugs used to enforce the death penalty. Senator Ken Yager said it had become “a real concern that we could find ourselves in a position that if the chemicals were unavailable to us that we would not be able to carry out the sentence.”

The impetus for bringing back the execution chair was created by the recent botched execution in Oklahoma where the inmate was said to be “tortured to death.” Witnesses say the man suffered for 43 minutes after the drugs were administered, writhing and clenching his teeth in pain, but eventually died of a collapsed vein instead of the drugs.

According to Richard Dieter, the president of the Death Penalty Information Center, the difference between Tennessee and the eight other states with electric chair laws is that other states give inmates an option on whether they should be executed to death.

Woman Found Ten Years Later

A woman who disappeared as a teenager a decade ago was reunited with her family after she went to police and told them her mother’s ex-boyfriend drugged and kidnapped her in 2004, forced her to marry him and fathered her child.

Isidro Garcia, 41, of Bell Gardens, was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping for rape, lewd acts with a minor and false imprisonment, the Santa Ana Police Department said. Police described a decade during which the woman — abused mentally, physically and sexually by her captor — was moved at least four times and given multiple fake identities to hide her from family and authorities.

According to police, Garcia told her that if she tried to contact her family, the police would deport her to Mexico and that he was her only hope. She was locked up at first, but she eventually began to lead what appeared from the outside to be a normal life.

Neighbors were stunned, describing the couple as seemingly happy. They doted on their young daughter and liked to host parties at their apartment in the working-class community of Bell Gardens, about 20 miles from where she originally disappeared.
