1. Rio de Janeiro is the Olympic City of 2016

BELOW: That's a giant Jesus stature overlooking Rio. Over 50,000 people flooded the streets after the news of Rio's victory. People flaunted posters of the above Jesus with the slogan: Rio Loves You (Get it... sounds like: Jesus Loves You).







[The star power of Michelle, Barack, and Oprah couldn't bring the Olympics to their home city of Chicago, which was booted in the first round of consideration. I heard the Olympic Committee are big Taylor Swift fans... On a lighter, and more significant note, Rio is planting over 3,000 tree's to offset the carbon that will be emitted during the games and its construction. Maybe they forgot to mention all of the other tree's being chopped as apart of their rain forest intervention campaign. Today, Brazil has the 10th largest economy in the world, which is expected to be the fifth by the time 2016 roles around. Just so everyone is clear, California used to be the fifth largest economy. Brazil is also one of the worlds leading oil exporters. This will also be the first Olympic game in South America (DANNGGGG!).]








2. FAME KILLS IS DEAD.


[RIP to the tour and my dreams. Only a few days after tickets going on sale, the Gaga/West Collabo tour has been 86'd. Everyone recalls "Yeezy-Gate" at the VMA's, and in response West said he needed to take some time off, I just wasn't aware that it would be at my expense... Take your time boo-boo, you just better make it up to me. Lady Gaga was planning another tour which was to start after Fame Kills, but she is now planning for that tour to replace what Fame Killed.
