Gaga Tells Hollywood Bowl She Would Have Said ‘Fuck You’ To Anyone Who Told Her She Would One Day Perform For the Clintons

Although Lady Gaga’s performance at the Hollywood Bowl last night was full of sexual innuendo and she was singing at a (belated) celebration of Bill Clinton’s birthday, it would be a stretch to call it Gaga’s Marilyn moment . “I always wanted to have one, and I was hoping that it didn’t involve pills and a strand of pearls,” Gaga joked more › See the article here: Gaga Tells Hollywood Bowl She Would Have Said ‘Fuck You’ To Anyone Who Told Her She Would One Day Perform For the Clintons

WikiLeaks Julian Assange ‘Occupy’ Shocker

October 16, 2011
WikiLeaks Julian Assange ‘Occupy’ Shocker

WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange made a shocking public appearance amid thousands of ‘Occupy’ protesters and hundreds of media cameras. At the London ‘Occupy’ protest, an offshoot of Occupy Wall Street sponsored by Anonymous , a sea of protesters pressed behind a line of riot cops in defiance. It was then that Julian Assange suddenly materialized before thousands of shocked protesters. The massive crowd erupted in cheers, stunned by the sudden public appearance of the WikiLeaks founder in supposed exile. The controversial international figure spoke to the demonstrators. “Like all of you, I have had difficulties getting in here today, but there are many people who haven’t yet been able to get through,” Julian Assange told the protesters. “This movement is not about the destruction of law, it is about the construction of law,” Assange continued. “I just wanted to say, we are all individuals.” The crowd of awe-struck ‘Occupy’ protesters cheered as WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange tossed handfuls of candy to the stunned crowd, then quickly disappeared.

Spot-Checking at Locked Metro TAP Turnstiles Yields 53 Citations & 5 Arrests

Who’s got a ticket to ride? Metro’s fare gate lockdown is producing interesting results as the agency determines approximately what percentage of passengers are using paper tickets as opposed to TAP cards. This four-week effort aids in Metro’s mission to get the TAP system and turnstile entry secured and running. Metro officials are spot-checking passengers’ tickets as they get off the Red and Purple Lines. more › Read more here: Spot-Checking at Locked Metro TAP Turnstiles Yields 53 Citations & 5 Arrests

iSwoon for iPhone 4S, Thanks to Apple Store at 3rd Street Promenade

My one stop was at the Apple store located along Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica. I’d read tweets claiming the store promised they had ordered ample supplies to last the entire day and that there were only 80 people in line. Only 80 people. I arrived at the store at 10:45am, my heart dropping when I noticed the line had vanished. “The line’s right over there,” said a helpful Apple employee, pointing me towards a feasible line of cattle hopeful consumers. more › Go here to see the original: iSwoon for iPhone 4S, Thanks to Apple Store at 3rd Street Promenade

Murdoch Mocked in San Francisco

October 15, 2011

A keynote speech by News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch was hijacked several times by Occupy Wall Street hecklers in San Francisco, California. The shocked audience at the Palace Hotel included leaders of business, politics and education, who were suddenly surprised by screaming OWS activists dressed as Sesame Street characters. Rupert Murdoch was in San Francisco for an annual summit held by the Foundation for Excellence in Education , a nonprofit headed by former Governor Jeb Bush . The media billionaire was speaking on the subject of joining education and technology but was repeatedly interrupted by hecklers and mockers in the swanky Grand Ballroom. The FOX News mogul had to resume his speech, over and over, due to the disruptions by the well-dressed protesters who yelled, “Occupy Sesame Street!” — some of them with character masks from the children’s TV program. Many wonder if the whole thing was a set-up designed to discredit the Occupy Wall Street movement as childish. Critics note how there were conveniently-placed cameramen and photographers to quickly turn around and film each protester “right on cue.” They insist that the “actors” were too old and too educated to be real OWS activists. The add that Rupert Murdoch himself appeared to anticipate each outburst, then laugh it all off with, “A little controversy makes things a little more interesting.” Real activists or fake?
