@AstronomicalKid gets a deal

[via]

"Former “X Factor” contestant Astro, who locked horns with show creator Simon Cowell, has inked a record deal with Epic, the Daily News has learned. “It’s amazing. It feels great,” the 15-year-old Brooklyn rap phenom said. “It’s like a dream. . . . I can finally say I’m working on my album.” It’s no coincidence that the chairman and CEO of Epic Records is L.A. Reid, one of the judges on the show. Reid served as Astro’s mentor on the show. Astro, whose real name is Brian Bradley, made it to the top 10 of the popular Fox television talent show — and not without clashing with Cowell. Astro, who was among the final seven contestants, drew flak for his cocky attitude. He even refused to perform when he was on the verge of being voted off the show, and talked back to Cowell while shedding some tears. He would later apologize. Despite his actions, the rapper’s popularity continued to soar. He now has nearly 200,000 followers on Twitter. "I owe it to all my fans," said Astro."[via]

I could probably download his music. Only if he made a Justin Bieber diss. Ooohh snap, son!

Millet Flour

"Michelle Williams, she was on Dawson’s Creek and a few movies since then. Anyway, she’s moved up to my area ( Sullivan County NY ), and makes appearances around here sometimes. Anyway, she came into a healthfood store I work at, and we’re a small town, small inventory type of store; and we didn’t have enough of what she was looking for (millet flour) so she ordered it. Now, ordinarily, when customers order something specific, we take a down payment. When I told her this, she refused, and said she’d rather pay in full later. I thought, shes loaded, she’s good for it. Well we ordered all her millet flour and she never came! We paid just about $300 upfront from our supplier company, and Nik, I don’t know if Shayne is into healthfood, but she may know what millet flour is, and it’s very hard to sell!! Just thought I’d blast this mediocre actress (at best) for the $300 that cut a week and a half’s pay from my check." [via] She needs to be antiqued with that Millet Flour.

Gawker Slams Press? (Nik Richie's Daughter)

"Sorry, But Babies Are Ugly" Oh, you probably don't think so. You probably think that your baby is "cute." Sure. Do you think a worm is cute? No. Your baby basically looks like a worm with a face and a couple legs. It's fairly hideous. I'm sure that your baby could very well grow up to be a cute child, or even a cute adult. But right now it is just a shriveled, crying, drooling, bald mess. If you saw a homeless man exhibiting the exact same physical traits as your baby, you would cross the street in disgust. Your hormones have you fooled. We're giving you the hard truth here. What are you going to do, widely distribute this post on all of your parenting message boards and newsletters and "social media" sites until countless thousands of readers flood into its comment section, inflating our readership statistics with their outpouring of rage? Go ahead, do your worst. We can take it. Your baby is ugly. Your baby? Your baby. Your ugly baby. G...

Addicted to porn

OCTOBER 7–A Minnesota teenager arrested for burglarizing a neighbor’s home told cops that she sought to steal cash and household items to help pay for her pornography addiction, according to a police report. Amanda Owens, 18, was nabbed this week for allegedly squeezing through the doggy door to get into Darin Pake’s home in East Bethel. Pake told Anoka County Sheriff’s Office deputies that he set up a hidden camera after his home had been burglarized several times last week. On Monday, the camera recorded Owens slipping into Pake’s home around 8 AM. “The defendant is seen walking throughout the house, rummaging through Mr. Pake’s things,” according to a probable cause statement. When questioned by investigators, Owens reportedly copped to entering Pake’s home on several occasions (via the doggy door) and stealing a jar of money and a camera, which she planned to pawn. The teenager, deputies noted, “stated she is addicted to pornography and purchased 20 to 30 DVD’s and owed money, t...
