Bobbi Kristina Brown Bong Video: Released, Shocking!

Whitney Houston’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, is seen hitting the bong HARD in a 2011 video posted by the National Enquirer on its new Enquirer Plus site.
The oft-troubled 19-year-old was partying with friends who attend college in Statesboro, Ga., in March of last year, when the bong video was taken.
The Enquirer video shows Bobbi Kristina smoking marijuana out a three-foot-tall bong, inhaling the smoke so deeply that she nearly collapses coughing.
In the video, Bobbi Kristina says, “Give me the lighter,” and then lights the bong, takes a huge hit, coughs and goes back for more ... like a boss.
Bobbi Kristina Brown Bong Video“Bobbi Kristina was staying with friends at the school and brought along a big bag of pot for the party,” a source at the party said of that epic night.
“When I left at 6 a.m. the next day, she was still partying hard. Between tokes, Bobbi was drinking shots of Grey Goose and Skyy Blue vodka."
“She’s obviously a seasoned partier.  With the amount of pot and alcohol she was using, I would've passed out, but she was going strong.”
Having experimented with drugs and alcohol plenty as it is, Bobbi Kristina is said to be spiraling out of control after her mother’s tragic death this year.
Bobbi Kristina Brown was hospitalized twice in 12 hours after her mother died and was even rumored to be getting high after Whitney's funeral.
Friends and family members are very concerned about her future.
“Everyone is worried sick about Krissy ... her aunt Pat got a number of her friends and family to come to Atlanta and have a serious talk with her,” a source said.
“There were lots of tears, but Bobbi Kristina didn’t listen.”
Hopefully pseudo-stepbrother and maybe-fiance Nick Gordon and grandmother Cissy Houston can set her straight ... because Bobby Brown clearly can't.

Whitney Houston 911 Call: Released, Tragic

The 911 call placed moments after Whitney Houston's body was found in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton hotel on February 11 has just been released.
A member of the hotel security team is the person who made the call, informing the 911 operator about a "46-year-old female found in the bathroom."
The caller says he was alerted to the situation by an "irate" woman who called security from the room, but couldn't get much information from her.
A woman who first dialed security kept hanging up for whatever reason, preventing the dispatcher from giving potentially life-saving instructions faster.
Whitney Houston 911 CallListen to the Whitney Houston 911 call below:
"I'm not sure if she fell or if she was in the bathroom with the water," the hotel security employee says of Whitney Houston, who he never identifies by name.
The security team member was under the impression she was not breathing, and the 911 dispatcher sent emergency personnel there immediately.
Too late, as it turned out, as the star couldn't be revived. Whitney's official cause of death is listed as "accidental drowning," with foul play ruled out.
Heart disease and cocaine use were contributing factors, according to Houston's autopsy report, and the legendary singer may well have overdosed.
The L.A. County Coroner said Whitney's chronic use of drugs caused a narrowing of her arteries, which resulted in a cardiac event before her death.

George Zimmerman Charged With Second-Degree Murder in Trayvon Martin Case

George Zimmerman will face criminal charges in the death of Trayvon Martin.
According to a senior law enforcement quoted by CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC and the Associated Press, the neighborhood watch captain in Sanford, Fla., will be charged criminally in the February 26 case that has captivated the nation.
A legal analyst said earlier that the most likely charge would be manslaughter, but it was just announced that Zimmerman faces second-degree murder charges.

A press conference announcing the decision took place at 6 p.m. Wednesday.
Angela Corey, the special prosecutor appointed by Florida Gov. Rick Scott to look into the incident, stated earlier that she would not take the case to a grand jury.
That automatically ruled out first-degree murder as an option, but the second-degree murder charge was still on the table - and ultimately what Corey decided.
“I can tell you we absolutely did not come to this decision lightly,” Corey told reporters moments ago. “We do not prosecute by public pressure.”
Zimmerman is in custody, Corey confirmed, though she gave no additional details. CNN reports that he surrendered to local officials earlier today.
Lawyers for Zimmerman, 28, stepped down from the case Tuesday, saying he'd become uncommunicative and expressing concern for his emotional and physical well-being.

Bobby Petrino Fired By University of Arkansas Over Jessica Dorrell Affair

The University of Arkansas has fired head football coach Bobby Petrino after he attempted to conceal, and later admitted to an “inappropriate relationship” with his recently hired 25-year-old employee, Jessica Dorrell.
Petrino’s relationship with Dorrell lasted a “significant” amount of time, and at one point, Petrino gave her $20,000 out of his own pocket as a “gift.”
Dorrell, a former Arkansas volleyball player (below), was hired by Petrino on March 28, only four days before both were involved in a motorcycle crash on a rural road outside the city, prompting the coach to lie but ultimately exposing Petrino's affair.

Jessica Dorrell, who reportedly called off an engagement one week before the accident, has hired a lawyer and could sue for sexual harassment.
As the story unfolded after Petrino crashed his motorcycle 10 days ago, many Arkansas faithful came to their coach’s defense, rallying to show support and pleading with the administration to forgive Petrino and move forward.
But in the end, Bobby Petrino accepted the fate he earned - dismissal.
In a statement, issued after the announcement, Petrino was contrite:

Britney Spears to Join The X Factor For $15 Million, Sources Confirm

Britney SmilesIt's actually happening. Britney Spears is going to become a judge on The X Factor, with a deal pending to pay her $15 million for the role, E! News reports.
"Both camps were going back and forth on the money but now they have finally come to agreement on the fee," says one insider with knowledge of the contract.

The source says of Trawick, who will soon gain control of her affairs:
"Jason is expected to be there every day Britney is on set. He is her rock and will help guide her through the process. He is the person she trusts the most."
When final, the deal will make Britney Spears the highest paid judge on reality TV, eclipsing Jennifer Lopez's $12 million for American Idol Season 11.

Khloe Kardashian Suffers Miscarriage ... According to Tabloid

Just two months ago, Khloe Kardashian apparently came closer than ever to becoming a mother ... only to suffer a miscarriage. According to In Touch Weekly.
The tabloid reports that the miscarriage devastated her emotionally.
Her rep denies the failed pregnancy even took place. So it goes ...
Khloe Kardashian Miscarriage?
“She’s trying to put on a brave face, but it’s so hard,” reveals a most likely fake friend of Khloé, who had been so excited by the news she was pregnant.
She’d already begun checking out prenatal yoga classes and doulas, the magazine claims, but now that it didn't work out, “She is really depressed.”
That is pretty rough. Especially after being abandoned by her man on the cover of the same magazine a week earlier. ITW really has it out for Khloe.
Seriously, we know the girl has made her struggles to have kids public, but there's no need to have Khloe Kardashian miscarry in a fake pregnancy.
Why even go there if it's not true? It's kind of wrong, and there's legit Kardashian gossip going on! Just stick with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West! They're actually dating!

Whitney Houston Death Investigation Closed; Foul Play Officially Ruled Out

Whitney Houston, Looking RoughWhitney Houston passed away from an accidental drowning, and there was no foul play involved in her death, according to the now-closed case file.
The Beverly Hills Police Department has been investigating Whitney's death since February 11, and officially closed the book on the case Wednesday.
The lack of foul play isn't really news, as the BHPD was working under the assumption of Houston's accidental death at the Beverly Hilton hotel.
Moreover, police never believed anyone took cocaine from her hotel room because they found the cocaine residue and powder inside Whitney's room.
Cocaine was a contributing factor in her death, according to the L.A. County Coroner, who published the Whitney Houston autopsy results last week.
Hopefully, her passing serves as a cautionary tale for many, including her own daughter. That Bobbi Kristina Brown bong video is a little unsettling.

Anderson Cooper Giggles Uncontrollably During Dyngus Day Segment, Walks Off Set [VIDEO]

Anderson Cooper just cannot keep it together sometimes.
The CNN anchor, whose laughter famously got the best of him last year during a story on Gerard Depardieu (or Depard-two if you will), lost it again last night.
Anderson Cooper Giggling (Dyngus Day 2012)The giggling started during a segment about Dyngus Day (a Polish holiday marking the end of Lent) and progressed to the point of sheer ridiculousness.
A voiceover describing the holiday's traditions was the tipping point. Once the words "a tap from a pussy willow branch" were uttered, AC checked out.
Watch the Dyngus Day segment, followed by Anderson Cooper's hilarious giggling display - which got so bad he had to get up and leave - below:

LOL Trailer: Miley Cyrus Struggles With Relationships!

LOL TrailerAside from a few Twitter-fueled Miley Cyrus anorexic rumors, things are going well for the star lately. She's got a hot career and a hotter guy in Liam Hemsworth.
Miles is having a tougher go of it in her new movie, however.
In LOL (seriously, that's the name), Cyrus stars as Lola (or Lol, for short, seriously), a high schooler navigating through peer pressures of romance and friendship.
Lol breaks up with her BF after he reveals he's been seeing someone else, battles her rival (Ashley Greene) and sees her grades slip. That's just in the trailer, too!
Watch the preview for this modern day piece of cinematic brilliance, which also stars Demi Moore as the mother to Cyrus' frequently sad-facing character, here:

The Hunger Games Sequel: Gary Ross Out as Director

Gary Ross and The Hunger Games have parted ways.
Ross' exit was all but confirmed last week, but he's released a statement explaining why he decided to discontinue his work with the famous trilogy:
"Despite recent speculation in the media, and after difficult but sincere consideration, I have decided not to direct Catching Fire," said Ross (below, right).
The Hunger Games Cast, Director
"As a writer and a director, I simply don't have the time I need to write and prep the movie I would want to make because of the fixed and tight production schedule."
"I loved making The Hunger Games. It was the happiest experience of my professional life. Lionsgate was supportive in a manner that few directors ever experience."
"They empowered me to make the film I wanted to make and backed the movie in a way that requires no explanation beyond the remarkable results."
"And contrary to what has been reported, negotiations with Lionsgate have not been problematic. They have also been very understanding of this difficult decision."

James Franco Sings "I Love You Like a Love Song" to Selena Gomez

From the set of Spring Breakers comes this viral video of James Franco, looking like Kevin Federline pre-obesity and lip-syncing to "I Love You Like a Love Song."
The actor was captured serenading the pop singer, his co-star in the upcoming film, while she shot a scene in the back seat of the car. Not distracting at all.
Not the highest quality video of all time, but if nothing else, it's James Franco, in cornrows, rocking out to Selena Gomez. That's hilarious enough:

Leah Messer: Fed Up With Critics

Getting pregnant and married as a teenager certainly has its challenges, and Teen Mom 2's Leah Messer is apparently fed up with some of her critics.
Leah has received backlash for getting knocked up, getting married, getting divorced and now getting married again. She even got jumped recently.
Sad Leah Messer"People are ignorant," the newly-hitched 19-year-old tweeted recently, lashing out and explaining why she no longer looks at her mentions on Twitter.
Leah Messer married Jeremy Calvert last week at the Catlettsburg Wedding Chapel in Ashland, Kentucky. It's the second marriage for the youngster.
She has twin daughters, Aleeah and Aliannah, with Corey Simms.
Not everyone is thrilled for Leah, however and some fans have chastised the reality star not just for her actions, but for not responding to messages.
She's had just about enough in any case.
"So many immature and inconsiderate people out yhrtr. If you're one of those please #growup," she tweeted from her @TM2LeahDawn account.
Leah has more than 450,000 Twitter fans, some of whom presumably don't hate her, so there might be some supporters in there too. Just saying.

0 Nadya Suleman Decries Death Threats, Vandalism

Fist Bump OctomomNadya Suleman is opening up about the recent death threats and violence - some moron smashing her car window - she's encountered since going on welfare.
Nadya talked to E! News about the other night, when she started hearing some unusual noises outside of her home, but decided not call the police.
"I was jet-lagged and tired," Octomom says. "But I felt something was wrong. I was pretty scared, so I checked on the kids, checked the front of the house."
"Morning came and neighbors came while I was cooking. They said, 'Your car window is all smashed.' It dawned on me that was what I had heard."
"I'm blessed with those neighbors who told me. They look out for us."
When she went to investigate the damage, she didn't even notice a strange note at first: "I didn't notice any paper until my daughter found it," she says.
Nadya guesses that someone smashed the window and threw the paper, containing a threatening message, inside, as part of a "never-ending cycle."
Surprisingly, Octomom didn't want to file a police report because she hoped to maintain her privacy, something she's never held dear in the past.
"I can't stand the media attention and wanted to make everything private," Nadya insists. "My manager told me to report it. My dad reported it."

Seal: Gearing Up For Heidi Klum Divorce Battle?

Seal has filed his response to Heidi Klum's divorce petition, and it looks like he's got a bone to pick regarding the couple's financial and custody situation.
Heidi and SealHeidi claims there's a postnuptial agreement, which means there are no joint or community assets. But Seal's papers make no mention of the postnup.
How much is on the line? Heidi is worth an estimated $70 million. Seal is worth around $15 million. So potentially a lot, depending on how it's settled.
Interestingly, Seal is asking for joint physical custody of their four kids, while Heidi wants primary physical custody, with Seal getting visitation rights.
Heidi almost always has the kids when Seal is away, and given that he's away a lot on tour, giving her primary physical custody seemed like a no-brainer.
She isn't trying to block him from visitation, either, but who knows what goes on behind closed doors, or when there are divorce lawyers involved.
Seal also wants the judge to deny spousal support to Heidi, and vice versa. Given both of their fortunes, it's likely neither is entitled to support.
As for the date of separation, Seal is non-committal. He says it hasn't been determined. Heidi claims the date of separation was January 19, 2012.
That's just two days before their surprising split became public.

Dancing With the Stars Results: Who's Out Now?

Was the third elimination on Dancing With the Stars a surprise?
With Martina Navratilova double faulting her way out first and Jack Wagner behind her, all bets were off as to who would exit stage left Tuesday.
Was it Gladys Knight and partner Tristan MacManus sent packing? Or was it another set of bottom three regulars, Gavin DeGraw and partner Karina Smirnoff?
Turns out it was neither of those tandems.
Sherri Shepherd and Val Chmerkovskiy
In the most shocking results night this spring, Sherri Shepherd and Val Chmerkovskiy, and Roshon Fegan and Chelsie Hightower were at the bottom.
"All of us are in total shock," judge Len Goodman said. "This is beyond ... The standard is so high, anyone can be in jeopardy, anyone can be safe."
In the end, Sherri and Val were eliminated.
"I just want to say thank you for letting me live a dream I've always had," the talk show host said. "I had the most amazing partner, Val Chmerkovskiy."
"That thing that scares you the most ... run towards it because it's so amazing on the other side ... I had the most amazing time on this show."
Roshon and Chelsie will be back next week to compete in the top nine. You tell us: Did Sherri deserve to be voted off Dancing With the Stars?

Usher Dead? No, Just Shirtless

Usher is NOT dead, despite Twitter reports to the contrary.
The star is alive and well ... and really ripped, apparently!
The R&B sensation became the latest "victim" of the lame and morbid trend of creating fake celebrity death stories and watching the rumors spread like wildfire online.
Way to go, hoax starters and people re-tweeting them! You really proved your point, or something! Anyway, Usher quickly assured us there's no need to worry:
Usher Shirtless Photo
"I must've died and went to heaven... Alive and cold kickin ass!!" he tweeted, along with a photo showing off his shirtless, buff bod, adding: "Livin' Legend!"
Now that's how you refute a death hoax.

Kanye West "amoureux" de Kim Kardashian ? À en croire sa dernière chanson, c'est le cas !


Kim Kardashian, Kanye WestKanye West a toujours le dernier mot.
Dans sa dernière chanson intitulée "Theraflu" et à laquelle DJ Khaled participe, le rappeur met les choses au clair concernant sa supposée relation avec Kim Kardashian.
"J'admets que je suis tombé amoureux de Kim environ au même moment où elle est tombée amoureuse de lui", dit-il en rappant, faisant sans doute référence à Kris Humphries. "Hé, c'est cool, fais ce que t'as à faire/Heureusement que je n'ai pas demandé à Jay de le virer de l'équipe." (Jay-Z est actionnaire minoritaire des New Jersey Nets, l'équipe de Kris)
Il prouve également qu'il n'éprouve pas de rancune envers Wiz Khalifa, le fiancé de son ex-petite amie, Amber Rose. "Le seul homme que je respecte, c'est Wiz", dit-il.
Même si "Theraflu" a été diffusée pour la première fois sur Hot 97 (une radio américaine de hip-hop et de R&B) mercredi, vous aurez du mal à la réentendre ces jours-ci. Le groupe Universal Music a bloqué la diffusion de la chanson sur toutes les plates-formes puisqu'elle a été divulguée sans autorisation.

Miley Cyrus Slams Anorexia Rumors

If you haven't already noticed, not only has Miley Cyrus been looking fierce, but she's also sporting a slimmed-down figure as of late.
Thanks to Pilates and a gluten-free diet, the former Hannah Montana star has seriously toned up and she's not afraid to show off that abtastic belly in a bevy of crop tops.
But after tweeting a photo on Sunday, haters harshed on Miley's slim-down, calling her anorexic and way too thin.
So, has the adorable babe and role model to thousands taken her weight war one step too far?
We think not. But first a quick recap of the sitch that sparked the hate:
Miley tweeted a photo of herself with a bag of Carl's Jr. on Sunday with the caption, "I can't eat it. So I'm just gonna smell the s--t out of it! My mouth is LITERALLY watering." Critics immediately took to Twitter, slamming Miley and calling her anorexic for denying herself the fast food since she's been looking so thin.
Miles quickly fired back, revealed she has a gluten allergy and insisted, "It's not about weight it's about health."
And while we're proud of Cyrus for sticking up to her haters, we're concerned with the obsession over Miley's frame.
'Cause this is hardly the first time Miles has jumped to her bod's defense. Back in November, critics slammed the Disney star for sporting a fuller figure—YouTube videos even surfaced with titles like "Miley Cyrus is 213 pounds."
Again, Miley took to Twitter insisting she loves herself and adores being shaped like a woman (we're sure BF Liam Hemsworth agrees). Not to mention, Miley is only 19 years old—an age where a woman's body is still developing, meaning fluctuation is not only expected it's downright natural for the young star.
So clearly, Miley can't win the Hollywood weight wars (even though she hasn't given up the fight), but we worry the insults are taking a toll on the fresh-faced beauty. After all, the Tinseltown pressure sent her Disney teen counterpart Demi Lovato straight to rehab for an eating disorder, cutting and self-esteem issues.
And although Miley has a strong support system with her fam and her loyal BF, we have to wonder how much pressure the gal can take in the spotlight.
Perhaps leaving Hollywood (as Miley recently threatened) is the only option left?
Let's seriously hope not—H'Wood wouldn't be the same without the silly Miley we love.
What say you Awful readers? How should Miley respond to the endless criticism? Do you think she's slimmed down too much?
Sound off below!
