A Virginia Man Set The World Record For Catching A 'Frankenfish'
10 jun 2013 19:03

Excuse me while I freak the F out and curl up in a ball and wet myself, but a man in Spotsylvania County, Virginia believes that he broke a world record last week for catching a three-foot northern snakehead fish. Caleb Newton’s haul weighed in at approximately 17-pounds and six ounces, which he believes would break the world record by approximately two ounces. He told WTKR news that the catch was so big that he couldn’t even fit it into his cooler. “Haha, that’s awesome”, said his wife as she packed a suitcase and put the kids in the car when he brought it home. So why is this a big deal at all? Well, for starters, the northern snakehead fish is referred to as the “Frankenfish” less because it was lesser known SNL castmember that became a politician and more because it can walk on land. If that’s not creepy enough for you, these hideous monsters are not supposed to be in America and therefore have no natural predators. They will eat your dogs, cats, babies, arms and even each other. These fish must be stopped and there’s only one Caleb Newton.

Aaron Johnson May Kick Ass As Quicksilver In 'The Avengers 2'
10 jun 2013 18:48

Joss Whedon hinted then confirmed Quicksilver will be in The Avengers 2. Then Bryan Singer tweeted that Evan Peters would play the same character in X-Men: Days of Future Past. In another shot across the bow, Deadline reports Marvel wants Aaron Johnson (AKA Aaron Taylor-Johnson) of Kick-Ass to play Quicksilver in The Avengers 2. Johnson reportedly has scheduling conflicts and may not be able to sign on for the sequel to the highest grossing movie of all time, which would be the worst career move since Brian Dunkleman quit American Idol in the first season. Making this story a little stranger, the other Quicksilver actor Evan Peters played Aaron Johnson’s best friend in Kick-Ass. Johnson’s wife being 24 years his senior might also cause some static.* We already know what Joss Whedon thinks about May-December romances, and romances in general, and single people.

George Clooney Inspires New Fad Of 'Ball Ironing'
10 jun 2013 18:42

If you thought that “manscaping” was a strange male grooming habit that had taken the nation’s bros and dudes by storm in recent years, hold on to your marble pouches and banana hammocks. Thanks to George Clooney’s so-called jokes, a new fad called “ball-ironing” is now becoming a hot trend among Hollywood’s aspiring leading men, and if you can’t guess what that phrase means based on the name alone, then you’re sure in for a treat. According to the Daily Mail, men are now visiting cosmetic experts for a process that uses lasers to remove hairs from a man’s testicles while smoothing out the natural wrinkles.

Lady Goes Crazy, Demands Free Food At Dunkin Donuts
10 jun 2013 18:39

Unless your last name is “Kennedy” or you play lacrosse, you’ve probably had a crappy customer service job. Cashiers, waiters, baggers, phone sex hotline helpers, people love to picks fights with all of ‘em, to prove their own self-worth or because they’re horribly, horribly lonely — or both. Most folks, however, aren’t as awful as the “worst person ever,” to quote Gawker, who bitched out a poor Dunkin Donuts employee because “she didn’t get a receipt.” She’s no “c*nt punt,” but “I want the whole f*cking menu, b**ch…twice” will do in a pinch.

Game Of Thrones GIF Recap Season 3 Finale 'Mhysa'
10 jun 2013 18:33

There was no way Game of Thrones was going to top last week’s monumentally bloody “The Rains of Castamere,” and wisely, “Mhysa” didn’t even try. Instead, we got a fairly satisfying reminder that oh yeah, this character? He’s in a bad spot. And her? You best believe things aren’t looking good for her, too. It was a finale that checked in with everyone, and without adding too much information, set up new developments on old stories, like Jaime returning home as a broken man and Dany continuing on with another army in tow. Also, family is apparently very important. It was not Game of Thrones‘ finest hour, nor was it their weakest — it was a necessary next step after the events of Red Wedding, which has ramifications of all over Westeros, from the leech-ridden halls of Dragonstone to King’s Landing, where Joffrey is as happy about what transpired as Sansa is miserable. It was also an extremely dark episode. The show always takes, well, I’m not sure if the right word is “pleasure,” but it enjoys exploring the darkness of the world, where the terrors roam free, and “Mhysa,” despite its hopeful finale scene, was a cruel reminder that anyone who thinks they’re happy is just biding their time until they’re miserable again. Today, for the final GIF of Thrones until next year (talk about depressing things), I’ve ranked 15 or so characters by how f*cked they are in their current predicament. The lower the number, the worse things seem. Valar Morghulis.

Neil Patrick Harris' Opening Number At The Tony Awards Was Incredible
10 jun 2013 18:30

I saw someone complaining on Twitter the other day about Neil Patrick Harris hosting the Tony Awards again this year and my immediate response was: “Shut up.” Nobody bashes the NPH, people. Let’s just be clear about that upfront. But my much more rational and thought-out response to that complaint was: “Seriously, shut up.” Harris has been absolutely wonderful in his previous hosting gigs at the Tony Awards and that’s why it’s ridiculous that he hasn’t been offered a giant bag full of gold to host every awards show. Seriously, would anyone be against that? If you said, “Yes” to that hypothetical question, then I implore you to watch his opening performance from tonight’s Tony Awards show at Radio City Music Hall. Watch it right now. I’ll wait.

Pregnant Kim Kardashian Statue With No Arms Is Considered ‘Art’
09 jun 2013 20:56

From the artist who brought you Britney Spears giving birth on a bear skin rug, Angelina Jolie breastfeeding, Justin Bieber‘s cartoon character private parts, and the interactive Paris Hilton autopsy comes Daniel Edwards newest piece, ‘L.A. Fertility,’ which is basically just your standard fertility statue that looks kinda sorta like Kim Kardashian. The work features a life-size but armless Kim K., wearing a tiara and earrings that are pretty reminiscent of those she wore when she married Kris Humphries. Because sure, why not. Visitors to the LAB ART Gallery in Los Angeles where the piece is located are encouraged to rub the statue for good luck, so that … their future babies will be famous for no discernible reason? Hard to say. “People tend to look at the parts, like the creases in her armpits, or how she wore a dress that makes her look like a killer whale,” Edwards said of the media’s treatment of Kim during her pregnancy. “I’m stripping it of the details people get stuck on, so they can see the beauty.” And if you’re wondering what’s in that pregnant stone belly? Edwards has a pretty good idea about that, too.

J. Bieber Steals a Paparazzo’s Camera, Continues Descent to Thugdom
09 jun 2013 20:55

Justin Bieber is back to his old tricks again, flipping out on a paparazzo for doing his job and ordering his goons to steal the man’s camera like a respectable artist would. TMZ reports that the scuffle occurred outside The Hit music studio in Miami around 4 a.m. on Wednesday, when Justin spotted the pap and could be heard squeaking, “Grab that camera! Get that f—king camera out of here!” like the Wicked Witch commanding an army of winged monkeys. After the pap pleaded for his camera back, Justin used his Solomonic wisdom to compromise, telling the man he’d return it … kinda. “Alright, alright. I’m gonna give you your camera back. I’m gonna take your SIM card though,” he said. When the photog offered to delete the photos he’d (legally, it should be noted) taken, the Biebs refused to bend. Setting aside the fact that this was a camera — not a phone — and therefore had no SIM card, let’s not forget that stealing someone’s memory card is theft, whether if you’re a faux-thug singer or not. (Even reality stars don’t get away with that.) Police are investigating the incident, as well as another incident that allegedly went down a few hours later, in which a member of Justin’s security team choked out a different pap. Oh, and then there was that other incident with another photographer, which probably would’ve gotten ugly if arena security at a Miami Heat game hadn’t intervened. So, Justin didn’t personally steal the memory card or assault anyone, and merely influenced others to do so. But doesn’t that just make him the Charles Manson of tiny little Canadian pop stars?

James Franco Dressed Up as Janet Leigh in ‘Psycho’...No one Knows Why.
09 jun 2013 20:54

James Franco is at it again — and by that we mean he’s doing something weird for no reason, except maybe just because he can. This time around? He’s recreating the horror film ‘Psycho’ dressed as Janet Leigh in a video art exhibit called ‘Psycho Nacirema.’ On the plus side, at least he’s not making other actors dance around in fake bird poop. Again. The exhibit features Franco in a blonde wig recreating scenes from the classic Hitchcock film in bits and pieces across large video installations, with plenty of him screaming in the shower. In addition to the film references, there are also allusions to the real-life rape and murder case against silent film actor Fatty Arbuckle, who, in the early 1920s, went through three separate trials before finally being acquitted. Said Franco of the purpose behind the installation: "In this show, we go back to the original locations and images of ‘Psycho’ and alter them so that once again the viewer’s relationship with the material changes. One becomes an actor when interacting with this work. Film becomes raw material and is sculpted into new work." ‘Psycho Nacirema‘ opens on June 6 at the Pace Gallery in London. You can check out more photos below.

The Unfortunate Lives Of Hollywood's Children.
06 jun 2013 15:55

Well we all know that being a star isn't all happy times, and is actually a lot of hard work, dedication, and stress. No wonder many celebrities often struggle with drug and alcohol abuse, and often act out in unstable ways. I can imagine how the spot light of the parents has affected their poor children and unfortunately predisposed them for destructive behaviors. Here are some examples of famous kids who have gone the wrong way.

Taco Bell's Employee Criteria Really Needs A Check Up!!
04 jun 2013 16:21

Jj O'Brien Nolan, a Facebook user, posted a picture of an unidentified Taco Bell employee licking a stack of taco shells, to Taco Bell's official Facebook page. He posted this statement with the image "This sure says a lot about your employees, food treatment and what they post on the internet." The horrifying pic has taken off fast and is circulating all over internet. I can imagine the fear and frustration of the chain. Rob Poetsch, a Taco Bell spokesman, told the Daily News that the taco shells were never served to customers. "They were used for training only and in process of being thrown out, however, two employees took and posted this photo on their personal pages against policy," Poetsch said. What kind of training are they conducting with the food I wonder? He also claimed that they are conducting an investigation, and will take the appropriate actions when they find who did this. This kind of pictures make me realize once again that cooking at home is the best choice!

Seniors Prom Night Ruinied Because Of Large Breast Discrimination.

Central Kitsap High School staff didn't allow Brittany Minder into the Prom because of her large chest. She came to the event in a strapless gown and was told that she needed to cover her over the top cleavage. She felt humiliated and her prom night was ruined. Minder's parents want a public apology, because their daughter was singled out because of her physique. "All women are not created equal, and you cannot compare a gold ball to a grapefruit. It ain't gonna happen" said Kim Minder, Brittany's mom to KOMO-TV.

Can Vinegar Prevent Cervical Cancer? New Studies Look Promising.
04 jun 2013 14:11

According to the World Health Organization, there are 500,000 cases of cervical cancer and 250,000 women die from it each year. India is especially susceptible to the disease because pap smears are not available. It's the number one cancer killer of women there. However there has been a recent discovery of a very low-tech way to screen for cervical cancer, and it has been one of the top five studies presented at the meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Chicago. Swabbing a woman's cervix with vinegar can apparently show abnormal cells on the surface of the cervix within one minute. "Within just one minute, the person administering the test - using the naked eye and a light - can see if there are abnormal cells on the surface of the cervix; abnormal cells turn white, because the acid in the vinegar makes protein in the nucleus of the abnormal cells coagulate and become easily visible."

Jack White Saves Detroit Masonic Temple, Gets Theater Named After Him
04 jun 2013 14:02

Jack White has saved Detroit's Masonic Temple. Detroit news station WXYZ reports that the mystery donor who paid off the temple's outstanding $142,000 tax bill is, in fact, White. According to the Detroit News, the payment posted on May 30, four days before yesterday's June 3 deadline. According to WXYZ, when White learned that the structure-- the largest Masonic Temple in the world-- was in danger of foreclosure, he stepped in. Born and raised in Detroit, White has strong connections to the Masonic Temple, the station reports. His mother was an usher there when he was young, and he's played many shows there. Officials from the temple also say that White and his mom have a "profound love for the gothic structure." “Jack’s donation could not have come at a better time and we are eternally grateful to him for it. Jack’s magnanimous generosity and unflinching loyalty to this historic building and his Detroit roots is appreciated beyond words,” Detroit Masonic Temple Association President Roger Sobran said in a statement. Accordingly, the temple's Cathedral Theater will be renamed the Jack White Theater.

Jennifer Lawrence Is the Hottest Mutant Ever! Blue ‘X-Men’ Body Makeup
04 jun 2013 13:42

Jennifer Lawrence was spotted on the set of ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ in full mutant mode, and she’s never looked better (or bluer). Jen is reprising her role as Mystique, and this time she’s wearing a full body suit, which only requires her to wear cobalt-colored makeup from the neck up. (After the last film, she went on record saying that the arduous latex application process actually scarred her décolletage.) The new suit will take less time to put on and, most importantly, doesn’t hide any of her curves. (Priorities.) She also says they don’t be using any CGI on her in the film, which is good — because doing so is basically slapping God in the face. The new ‘X-Men’ will hit theaters next summer.

Lifetime Is Making an Anna Nicole Smith Biopic Because Someone Has To!
04 jun 2013 13:40

Even though the Liz Taylor biopic ‘Liz & Dick’ was a colossal flop, television network Lifetime is sticking with the celebrity true-stories game, this time with a made-for-TV movie about the late Anna Nicole Smith. The trailer (above) features Agnus Brucker embodying Smith as she pops pills, drinks, gets naked, parties, wears clown makeup and fails as a mother to her young son Daniel. Which just might make this film about the former Playboy Playmate’s life way more accurate than 2007′s straight-to-DVD ‘The Anna Nicole Smith Story.’ The film also stars Martin Landau as Smith’s millionaire husband J. Howard Marshall, Cary Elwes as Marshall’s son, and Adam Goldberg as Smith’s attorney and friend Howard K. Stern. (No, not that Howard Stern.) Judging from the trailer alone, ‘American Psycho’ director Mary Harron is ready and willing to give us plenty of boobs, booze and bad decisions — but sadly, no songs from Huey Lewis. ‘Anna Nicole Smith’ airs June 29th on Lifetime. Get your drinking games ready.

That Woman Miguel Kicked In the Face May Have Suffered Brain Damage
04 jun 2013 13:39

Remember that time at the Billboard Awards when Khyati Shah, who innocently went to see Taylor Swift and possibly throw rotten tomatoes at Justin Bieber, ended up being kicked squarely in the head by singer Miguel? So does she, and she’s not doing so hot. Shah’s lawyer, Vip Bhola, spoke to TMZ and explained that even though his client seemed okay at the time, that didn’t last long: “Some of the difficulties she’s experiencing are cognitive in nature and lead to suspicion of a neurological head injury.” Because that’s what happens when R&B singers unexpectedly slam your head into the sharp corners of stages. According to Bhola, the Billboard folks’ only remedy at the time of the injury was to offer Shah an ice pack when she should have been taken to the hospital instead. Khyati is currently awaiting the results (expected next week) of a neurological test. If it’s bad, there could be a suit in the works. And, hey, maybe Miguel should get a neurological test, too. After all, jumping towards a crowd of people at full speed in pointy, heeled shoes isn’t exactly the mark of someone operating at high levels of rationality.

Kim Kardashian & Kris Humphries Are (Finally) Officially Divorced
04 jun 2013 13:37

A year and a half after separating and countless tumultuous legal battles later, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are finally divorced. The pair reached a settlement back in April, and E! News obtained a copy of the final judgment handed down Monday, June 3, in a Los Angeles Superior Court. The dissolution of marriage means that, in the eyes of the state, their cash grab marriage is terminated and both are considered “single persons” once more. Kim and Kris signed written agreements about division of assets and spousal support, but those were kept under wraps. We’re guessing that even though they’re both filthy rich, Kim tossed a little cash at Humphries to make him and his annulment demands go away before she and Kanye West have their daughter next month. Regardless, at the ripe old age of 32, Kim is now twice-divorced — she was married to record producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004. And judging from his recollections, she’s leaving quite a trail of bitter in her wake.

10 GIFs That Prove Penélope Cruz Should Be Next Bond Girl
04 jun 2013 13:03

This may SHOCK you, but: sometimes, producers will cast younger women to hook up with older men. It’s true. Bérénice Marlohe and Tonia Sotiropoulou, the two Bond girls in Skyfall, starring the 45-year-old Daniel Craig, are 34 and 25 years old, respectively. Very rarely has Bond shacked up with someone “age-appropriate,” which is why so many people are rejoicing the news of 39-year-old Penélope Cruz possibly starring in “Bond 24.” We’re fine with this because — as anyone who’s seen Vicky Cristina Barcelona, The Girl of Your Dreams, Blow, or any of her numerous films with Pedro Almodóvar can attest to — Penélope Cruz is a wonderful actress. She even makes bad films watchable, with the exception of Nine, because even if Nine was recast with dancing corgis, it would still be terrible. Here are 10 GIF that prove she is amazing.

Trailer: Kick-Ass 2 international red-band trailer

I loved Kick-Ass, but it didn’t bode well when the sequel lost original director Matthew Vaughn and picked up some dude I’d never heard of. Now the international red-band trailer is out, and it has all the things you love from the original – Aaron Taylor-Johnson wearing too many layers of shirts, Chloe Moretz cursing like a high school football coach, sexualized teenagers, and over-the-top violence – PLUS, it throws in Jim Carrey and Christopher Mintz-Plasse in an even more ridiculous costume for good measure. I’m intrigued, I just worry this might be too subtle and minimalist to connect with broader audiences.

Apple's iRadio Might Be Coming As Soon As Next Week
03 jun 2013 19:39

Apple and the music labels have been squabbling over the royalties of iRadio, Apple’s would-be Pandora killer. Apparently the music companies are a little sick of bending to Apple’s every whim and want more money for themselves. And Apple is willing to pay it to just get the damn service launched already. Yes, Apple is apparently hoping to debut it next week as part of their Worldwide Developer’s Conference, or WWDC. You know it better as “one of the two times a year Apple announces stuff I care about.” iRadio seems to be the centerpiece: "…Apple is said to be eager to get the licenses in time to unveil the service — nicknamed iRadio by the technology press — at its annual developers conference, which begins June 10 in San Francisco. Apple has signed a deal with the Universal Music Group for its recorded music rights, but not for music publishing — the part of the business that deals with songwriting. Over the weekend, Apple also signed a deal with the Warner Music Group for both rights." Without iRadio, it honestly doesn’t seem like Apple has all that much. Rumors hold that it’s largely going to be about their laptops and operating systems, and honestly, there’s a limit to how exciting people will find iOS 7. Considering that both Amazon and Google are also getting into this act, the sooner Apple gets iRadio up and running, the better.

'The Last Of Us' Has Multiplayer. Here's How It Works.
03 jun 2013 19:04

You wouldn’t know it from most of the pre-release coverage, but 'The Last of Us' has a mutliplayer mode, and it seems like it’s going to be quite ambitious. Basically, you’ll join one of two factions and then your goal is survive for “12 weeks”. Every mutliplayer bout counts as a “day”, so you can do the math on how long it will take to finish the mode. The goal of each match (aside from murdering the opposing team of course) is to collect resources, which can either be used as supplies for your refugee camp, or armor/weapon upgrades and ammo. You can also completely customize your character’s appearance, outfit and loadout. So yeah, there’s a cool metagame going on here — the actual shootery gameplay on the other hand, looks a little bit more standard. Not bad mind you, just not mind-blowing. Hit the jump for a bit of leaked multiplayer footage…

Michael Douglas Says Oral Sex Can Both Cause and Cure Throat Cancer
03 jun 2013 18:57

Back in 2010, Michael Douglas was diagnosed with Stage 4 throat cancer, and while most people thought it was due to a longtime cocktail of cigarettes and booze, Douglas is now going on the record saying it was actually caused by the sexually-transmitted disease HPV, which he contracted during some marathon rounds of administering oral sex. He’s a real giver, that one. Douglas admitted to the Guardian, “I did worry [at the time] if the stress caused by my son’s incarceration didn’t help trigger it. But yeah, it’s a sexually transmitted disease that causes cancer. And if you have it, cunnilingus is also the best cure for it.” Not ones to just take someone’s word for it (even someone who played Liberace so convincingly), the Guardian sought the medial expertise of neck surgeon Mahesh Kumar, who told the paper, “It has been established beyond reasonable doubt that the HPV type 16 is the causative agent in oropharyngeal cancer.” That said, he didn’t think HPV was the sole cause of Douglas’ cancer, nor is more oral sex the cure for it: “Maybe he thinks that more exposure to the virus will boost his immune system. But medically, that just doesn’t make sense.” After having chemo, Douglas has been cancer-free for two years now and is optimistic he will remain so, as this type of cancer only has a 5 percent chance of returning. Meaning Michael Douglas is once again free to, uh, be as cunning with his lingus as he likes.

Beyonce Doesn’t Appreciate Attempts to Airbrush Her Hotness

Beyonce is easily one of the most beautiful people on the planet, so the idea that anyone needs to retouch her whatsoever is pretty preposterous. And Bey got really (Sasha) fierce when she found out H&M wanted to retouch her bikini photos. A source told The Sun, “When Beyonce found out they had edited the way her body really looked, she hit the roof. She’s a true diva and was furious that she had been given such a snubbing. Her people refused to give the pictures the green light so H&M were forced to use the originals.” Um, have you seen these pictures? What in God’s name could they have tried to improve? “As with all campaigns there are discussions on which images should be used,” a rep for the retailer admitted. “Both H&M and Beyonce are very happy with the final result.” So is every other hot-blooded human on Earth.

Mammoth Blood Found In A Well Preserved Carcass! Is Cloning On The Horizon?
30 may 2013 14:58

Researchers from the Northeast Federal University in Yakutsk found a well preserved 10,000-year-old female mammoth carcass buried in ice on the Lyakhovsky Islands. When scientists poked the frozen body with a pick dark blood flowed out, which shocked everyone. "The fragments of muscle tissues, which we've found out of the body, have a natural red color of fresh meat. The reason for such preservation is that the lower part of the body was underlying in pure ice," said Semyon Grigoriev, the head of the expedition and of the university's Mammoth Museum. How exciting is that? May be we'll get to see a live mammoth after all. Cloning could be on the way.

A suspicious letter that was sent to the the White House and addressed to President Barack Obama was intercepted by the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force for investigation. The Secret Service said that this letter was similar to letters sent to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and a gun-control group he founded. It also contained a small amount of poison called ricin, which when inhaled, ingested or injected even in small amounts can kill a person within 48 hours causing failure of the circulatory and respiratory systems and to which there is no antidote.

Mammoth Blood Still Liquid
30 may 2013 01:27

Russian scientists have announced the recovery of well-preserved woolly mammoth blood and tissue from a 10,000-year-old female carcass found on the New Siberian Islands off the coast of Siberia. The Russian scientists and their partners from the South Korean Sooam Biotech Research Foundation hope to use the blood and tissue to clone a woolly mammoth. The Russian team was astonished to find the blood in a liquid state, despite that fact that the carcass was surrounded by ice. They theorize that the blood may contain a kind of natural antifreeze.

Exclusive Preview: 'Quantum And Woody' #1
28 may 2013 14:50

Valiant has been regularly impressing us with their reboot of the entire line of books, ranging from the surprisingly touching Harbinger to the struggles with memory and honor in Bloodshot. So needless to say, they're bringing back... the world's worst superhero team, Quantum and Woody. With James Asmus writing and Tom Fowler at the helm for art, Christopher Priest's original concept has largely stayed intact, but with a few... twists you may not expect. But the original idea is still: Quantum is a man who believes in justice, integrity, and honor, a shining beacon of a superhero. Woody, meanwhile, is an idiot. They are, of course, friends. But even friends can squabble sometimes, and, in this exclusive preview, we get an idea of just how out of hand it gets...

Tom Waits Joined The Rolling Stones For Concert
28 may 2013 13:37

The last time Tom Waits went on a tour that didn’t involve the acronym “PEHDTSCKJMBA” (which stood for each of the tour’s stops, i.e. Phoenix, El Paso, Houston, Dallas, etc., obviously) was back in 2006, when he hit the road behind his wonderful Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards compilation. And before that, 2004. Waits rarely travels anymore, possibly because it’d be impossible for him to fit his garage full of rusty instruments into the tour bus, but more likely because he doesn’t need to. He spent nearly all of the 1970s and much of the 1980s traveling from Cleveland to Akron, and no one, be they in their 20s or 60s, should ever have to do that more than once. So it was a treat when Waits joined a bunch of other near-senior citizens, the Rolling Stones, on-stage during their stop in Oakland last night. They performed a growling rendition of “Little Red Rooster,” one that Howlin’ Wolf would have loved, assuming he could have heard it over the sound of his laughter at Mick’s struts.

Carrie Underwood Donates $1 Million to Oklahoma Tornado Relief Efforts
28 may 2013 13:19

Carrie Underwood has a somewhat inexplicable reputation as an ice queen, something she vehemently denies. And she may well have proved it by warming a lot of hearts with a huge charitable gesture. The ‘American Idol’ alum and Checotah, Okla. native donated a whopping $1 million — yes, million — to relief efforts following the devastating tornadoes in her home state. Oklahoma, particularly areas around Oklahoma City, suffered at least 24 deaths, including children, and massive destruction to homes and businesses following several F5 twisters. “I have watched the devastation in my home state of Oklahoma over the past several days with great sadness,” Underwood said in a press release (via News OK). “With the help of my fans who attended my concerts over the past year, we can offer the Red Cross a little extra help in comforting those affected by the recent tornadoes.” The $1 million donation was derived from Underwood’s concert proceeds from her now awkwardly titled Blown Away tour. This wasn’t the first time she gave away a big chunk of concert change, either — earlier in her tour she dropped coin on Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. The Red Cross, obviously, couldn’t be more thrilled. “The impact of the tornadoes in Oklahoma and the Midwest was devastating and the road to recovery will be long for many families,” the organization said in a statement. “Through the generosity of Carrie, the American Red Cross can quickly respond with shelter, food and comfort now, and with lasting help as they move toward recovery.” Doesn’t sound like sociopath behavior, now does it?
