The Gift Bags For This Years Oscars Are Absolutely Ridiculous imageFlickr
As if the Oscars weren’t the subject of enough controversy already this year, the contents of the annual nominees gift bag have now been revealed.
This year, those with a chance of taking home a coveted prize will also be given the privilege of taking home over $200,000 (£138,000) worth of gifts.
According to the Independent, this year’s party bags will contain such treats as aVampire Breast Lift, an ‘arouser’ (just for the female contestants) and a 10-day trip to Israel worth $55,000 (£38,000).

Describing the gift bag, the Academy said:
Once again it is a blend of fabulous, fun and functional items meant to thrill and pamper those who may have everything money can buy but still savour the simple joy of a gift.
So, the academy as ‘on point’ as ever then…
Other prizes include a year’s worth of unlimited Audi car rentals worth $45,000 (£32,000), a 15-day walking tour of Japan worth $45,000 (£32,000) a laser skin-tightening procedure costing $5,300 (£3,700) and a Haze Dual V3 Vaporiser (a consolation for Leo?)

Just to clear things up, the Vampire Breast Lift is a procedure that uses ‘blood-derived growth factor’ injections to give you a rounder cleavage without implants – so that’s nice.
The gift bags only go to nominees in the main categories – so all the people who worked tirelessly off screen to actually bring the performances to the audience won’t be getting anything quite as nice as all that.
Mind you, having blood injected into your breasts doesn’t really sound that great…

Kanye West Reveals New Album Title, But What Does It Mean? imagePA
Kanye West just can’t seem to decide on a title for his new album, but his latest suggestion has got people talking.
The album’s already been through various incarnations already with suggested titles including So Help Me God, SWISH and Waves.
But now he has changed it yet again, to the obscure and curious initials of T.L.O.P.
It seems there is clearly some sort of meaning behind it but nobody except Kanye appears to know what that is yet…
He tweeted the latest announcement and offered tickets to ‘Season 3 and free Yeezys’ to anyone who can work out what the mysterious letters stand for.
Needless to say people have really gone all out in their efforts to decipher some meaning from it…
And of course there was the obligatory reference to that now infamous Amber Rose Twitter exchange…
Kanye has not yet revealed if anyone has come up with the right title but it’s safe to say it will probably change at least one more time before it’s finally released on February 11th.
No yeezys just yet then…

Facebook And Instagram Are Banning Private Gun Sales On Their Sites image
The madness could finally be over, as Facebook has announced it will ban private guns sales on its site following pressure from President Barack Obama for stricter firearms control.
The ban will also apply to Instagram and will stop the networks being used to conduct gun sales between private individuals, reports the Telegraph.
The new rule was brought in after Obama bypassed the U.S. congress to bring in tougher background checks for gun ownership following a series of deadly mass shootings.
The majority of people have welcomed the new controls:

Theres Now A Trump Vs Trump Debate Video Because Hes Bullsh*tted So Much image
Loudmouthed gasbag Donald Trump may be leading the polls for the Republican presidential candidacy but, if you’ve been paying attention, you might have also noticed that he has a habit of contradicting himself.
Stephen Colbert decided to make the most of that particular trait of the controversial businessman, hosting a Trump vs Trump segment on The Late Show.
Trump decided to skip Thursday night’s final Republican presidential debate on Fox, but Colbert wasn’t about to let him get away that easily, and instead oversaw his own ‘All-You-Can-Trump’ debate.
The all-Trump debate features intercut footage of Donald Trump’s various wildly contradictory statements over the years, and demonstrates just how much this guy has flip-flopped on his attitudes in order to win votes.

And the debate is fierce – while Donald believes that ‘nobody likes’ Ted Cruz, Trump says, ‘I like Ted Cruz a lot’.
While Donald ‘loves’ Iowa, Trump asks, ‘How stupid are the people of Iowa?’ By the way, he made those particular statements just two months apart, according toVox. Awkward.
Believe it or not, he actually he even apparently used to like Hillary Clinton and Megyn Kelly. Who knew?
It’s almost as if Trump changes his opinions on a regular basis whenever it suits him. Weird…

Steven Averys New Lawyer Reveals How She Plans To Prove His Innocence image
It looks like there could yet be one more twist in the tale of Making A Murderersubject Steven Avery and his bid to prove his innocence.
Avery was sentenced to life in prison without parole in 2007 for the murder of Teresa Halbach, but the smash-hit Netflix documentary has brought renewed interest in his case, with many believing he is innocent and calling for a retrial.
On Friday, NBC’s Dateline aired an episode dedicated to the case and the developments since the documentary finished, and the show featured an appearance from Avery’s new lawyer Kathleen Zellner, who explained how she plans to exonerate her client.

According to Business Insider, Zellner said she believes advances in forensic testing could be the key to proving Avery’s innocence – just as it was with his wrongful imprisonment from 1985 to 2003 for sexual assault.
Speaking in her first TV interview since taking the case, Zellner said:
Generally, since 2007, there have been significant advances in forensic testing. The clearest way to do this is with scientific testing. Am I going to tell you exactly what it is? I am not. But it’s been a long time. There was a lot of evidence that wasn’t tested.
Zellner, who has also been pretty vocal on social media since taking on Avery’s case, added on NBC’s Today show this morning that she expects to have the results from those forensic tests within the month, at which point things will get very interesting indeed.

Avery’s former attorney Dean Strang was also featured on the Dateline special, reiterating his belief that Avery is innocent.
He added:
From the evidence I’ve looked at I think he is innocent. I think he certainly was not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt under the evidence that was presented.
We can’t help but wonder if those in the Manitowoc County Police Department are sweating a little bit after this latest development in the case.

This Guy Has Explained How Every Adam Sandler Movie Is Connected image
Shawn Kohne seriously knows his Adam Sandler films. Perhaps too well. Definitely too well.
He has gone to some lengths – some extreme lengths – in his quest to show how every Adam Sandler movie is connected.

According to Mashable, it all started while Shawn was watching 50 First Dates and noticed that a line connected the film to another Sandler movie, Tommy Boy – and the Sandlerverse was born.
Shawn told Mashable in an email:
After that it was just the process of literally watching EVERY Sandler and Happy Madison Production looking for connections.
After posting his video to YouTube and Twitter, Kohne happened to grab the attention of Adam Sandler’s writer, Tim Herlihy.
“Obviously I couldn’t find connections in the movies not mentioned in the video,” Kohne said.
However, he was incredibly excited to hear from Herlihy and had even noted connections between movies that Herlihy hadn’t even considered:
To not only hear from the man, but [for him] to point out something he didn’t even know about…THAT sure does make you feel good.
That’s also why I left the Sandlerverse open for anyone else to add on to it at the end.

As for whether Kohne will continue to make these connections himself, he told Mashable: 
There is only so much time I can give to one idea before I actually start to lose my mind, ya know.
Yeah, we can tell Shawn. If anything is going to drive you insane it’s watching the awfulness Adam Sandler has been making recently…

This Guy Has Explained How Every Adam Sandler Movie Is Connected

Remember this incredible video a few months ago when an unlikely friendship blossomed between a tiger and goat?
The clip – which was taken in the Primorsky Safari Park in Russia – saw the big cat refuse to hunt his next meal, leaving staff at the safari park ‘stunned’.
Cupid, the Siberian tiger, was booted out of his shelter by the cheeky goat – later named Timur – who occupied his bed when he entered the enclosure, forcing Cupid onto the roof.
Cue the awws. But not everyone is a fan of this cute tale of friendship and Russian lawyer Alexei Krestianov, from Novosibirsk, is one of them.
In a pretty lengthy rant on Facebook, Krestianov says that all coverage of Timur and Cupid should be banned because it could make kids want to be gay. Just, wow. I have no words.
He actually thinks that all goat/tiger relations coverages falls under Russia’s infamous ‘anti-gay propaganda’ law. His Facebook post is a copy of a letter to the General Prosecutor’s Office in which he calls for future stories to be banned.

With Russia’s pretty piss poor stance on LGBT rights,  it was only a matter of time that some lunatic would generally think this. You’ve got to despair really, because that’s a totally normal thing to think about a tiger and goat, obviously.
The bullshit this guy is coming out with seems worthless for now, as the park announced that the two have been temporarily separated so the goat can undergo vet care.
