2 Chainz Wins Lawsuit
A federal judge in North Carolina tossed out Christine Chisholm's lawsuit. As we've reported, she sued Mr. Chainz for $5 million after he called her a "THOT" -- short for "that ho over there" -- repeatedly in a now infamous video of her backstage. The clip went viral, naturally.
In his ruling, the judge said calling someone a "THOT" does not rise to the level of "extreme or outrageous conduct." Translation: Sticks and stones might break your bones, but words ... ain't gonna get you a quick $5 mil. Sorry, THOTs.

What Happens When Hoverboads Explodes
Just five days before Thanksgiving, Jessica’s 12-year-old son opened the box containing one of this year’s most sought-after items. It was a hoverboard, one of the futuristic skateboards that are powered by lithium batteries, allowing riders to move without effort, steering with their feet.
Although Jessica had heard of injuries caused by people falling off hoverboards, she says she had never heard that a hoverboard might catch fire. But just one day after using it, Jessica’s son was charging the battery– using the charger that came with the hoverboard— when Jessica says she saw flames shooting from both ends.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission, a federal agency, tells WGNO that in the last three months, there have eight reported injuries involving hoverboards that required a trip to the emergency room. But all of the injuries were related to falls– not fires.
An agency spokesman also said that “federal rules prevent (the agency) from speaking specifically about a brand name product.” However, the CPSC “strongly encourages” consumers to report product safety issues. The Louisiana State Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the fire, and WGNO will post updates as they become available.
