Taylor Swift pulls her music from nine-year-old-girl by Unknown Friday, November 21, 2014 - 0

The Shake It Off singer has said NO to low-royalty streaming services and now she is saying NO to a nine–year-old fan

On a school night last week, singer Taylor Swift barged into the bedroom of nine-year-old Ella Frank of Bristol, RI and pulled all her CD’s from the young girl’s bookshelf and then stormed out.  Now little Ella is calling desperately for the return of her Taylor Swift CD collection from the woman who recorded the music.

“Those CD’s were a gift from my Nana”, said Ella. “She bought them for me because she doesn’t know what streaming is – even though I showed her how it works like a million times and forget about explaining to her what an iTunes gift card is”. 

The trouble arose when Swift found out through social media that Ella had been sharing her CD’s with people ever since she pulled her music from streaming services.  Ella was freely sharing her Swift CD collection with her mom Valerie, a few school friends, their moms and school cafeteria worker Doris S. “Before Taylor took her CD’s back, I was thinking about sharing them with a few more people and charging a small fee”, said Ella. To that Swift had this to say, “WTF”!

This Woman Asked 11 Alien Civilizations To Photoshop Her Face To Examine Intergalactic Beauty Standards by Unknown Friday, November 14, 2014 - 0

By Marcia Baker, WICF

Milky Way, Universe — Maggie Gordon is a 24-year-old journalist who lives in Wichita, Kansas. She sent a photo of herself to 11 different alien civilizations with the simple request to "make me beautiful".

The idea came from the widespread use of Photoshop to alter images to achieve often unrealistic beauty standards, but seeing beauty vary across the universe makes that standard even more illusive.

The results she got from this experiment provide further evidence that the standards of beauty are very much subjective and vary greatly from planet to planet.

Here are what professional photo retouchers from places like Yautja Prime, Brodo Asogi, and Romulus think beautiful looks like.

Actor Corey Feldman, 43, Found in His Apartment, Still Alive by Unknown Tuesday, November 11, 2014 - 1

Corey reassures fans by giving them the 'thumbs up' 

ACTOR COREY FELDMAN IS ALIVE AND WELL!


By Marcia Baker, WICF


Los Angeles, CA — Fans and neighbors were shocked to learn that on Monday, November 10th, 2014, actor Corey Feldman was still alive and in good health.

"I couldn't believe it it when I heard", said Heather Cannavaro, 39, of Silverlake. "I think back to the little kid from Stand By Me and the Goonies and it just takes me back to my youth. It reminds me of what a promising performance River Phoenix gave and what an amazing comeback Josh Brolin has made with his career in the last few years. I can't believe that innocent little kid I vaguely remember is now still out there, just living his life."

Firefighters broke down Feldman's door after repeatedly knocking and calling out to him. "All we could hear what the sound of the shower running and an unidentified individual yelling back "Just a minute, let me put on a robe" and "I'll be right there."

When authorities finally entered Feldman's apartment, he was found not nude, standing in the living room, like "what the fuck is going on here? What are you doing?"

"I could not believe my eyes", said firefighter Donald Reynolds, who was at the scene. "Usually, when we enter an actor's home, they're face-down and nude on the bed, or nude and hanging in the closet, or nude on the bathroom floor by the toilet.  To see him just standing there and alive like that..." he continued, shaking his head, "is something I'll never forget."

Firefighter Adam Stauer reported that upon entering the apartment, they immediately questioned Feldman. We asked him "Are you the housekeeper? Where is Feldman's body? When did you last see him alive?" He responded "I am Corey Feldman. What the fuck is going on?"

A third emergency worker is currently on suspension for leaking photos from the scene of the actor looking confused and annoyed.

Los Angeles Medical Examiner Joanna Sullivan made the following statement: "Between his close friendship with Corey Haim, his bananas audio commentary on the Goonies DVD, and all the weird Michael Jackson stuff, I was sure he was deceased. I was halfway through filling out his death certificate when they called and were like 'Actually, he's fine'."

Repeated calls to Feldman's agent were not returned, but Feldman had this to say: "I'm totally fine. But I think the fire department should replace my door."

Feldman is reportedly working steadily in film and television and last appeared in the 2013 film Zero Dark Dirty, alongside Mark Metcalf and Daniel Baldwin, who as of press time, are also still alive.
