Steve-O Jumps Off London Bridge Tower, Detained By Cops

by

Steve-O did some extreme sightseeing in London, England, on Thursday, July 6th. The Jackass stuntman, all clad in Union Jack streetwear and a British flag umbrella, counted “One, Two, Three” before jumping from one of the London Bridge Towers into the River Thames. A few screaming fans were in attendance for the impromptu stunt…as were the London police. Once he made it to shore, the cops arrested and detained Steve-O for the unsanctioned stunt.

The London police allowed him to change his shirt and escorted him to a cop car through a throng of people. Some fans started chanting Steve-O’s name as he talked with the British fuzz. In the middle of his getting detained, he plugged his comedy show, which he was filming while in the U.K. “We just opened up tickets for the late show on July 14th at the Hackney Empire,” he says to the camera. “It’s the taping of my Bucket List special. Be there!” He then got put into a police car.

Why Did Steve-O Jump Off The London Bridge?

This stunt was clearly part of the Bucket List special Steve-O’s filming in London. TMZ got footage of the stunt and the subsequent detaining of the infamous stunt star, showing just how unfazed he is about the whole ordeal. Perhaps there is some sort of agreement between his production crew and English officials on the legality of the stunt. However, the police informed Steve-O that they were afraid his stunt would cause others to do the same for suicidal purposes. They weren’t concerned about the filming of the bridge leap as much as they were about British public health.

Steve-O said that they let him go eventually. And while he spent some time in a cop car, it didn’t compare to the half-minute he spent in the Thames. He called the river absolutely filthy, which won’t mix well with a new tattoo he just got above the knee. And this isn’t the first jump he’s done in England. He also leaped off a double-decker bus onto the pavement, making for a tougher landing than a dirty river.

Wiz Khalifa Reveals He Recently Suffered A Pelvis Injury

by

On Friday, June 23, Wiz Khalifa let his fans know what he’d been up to the last couple of days…and it doesn’t sound too fun. The 35-year-old rapper sent out a few Tweets letting the world know he suffered a small tear in the cartilage of his pelvis. While we know he practices martial arts, we’re not sure if his training is the reason for this latest physical setback. “Told the lady I ain’t need no help then proceeded to f*ck my back up,” Wiz said on social media. “This sh*t f*ckin hurts and pain medicine ain’t helping.”

Videos of Wiz Khalifa show him in black Calvin Klein boxer briefs and black kinesiology tape running up and down his lower back. Using two canes, he shows his fans that rehabilitation for this injury involves slowly walking to regain overall physical stability. He’s taking this injury seriously and cautiously, reportedly watching movies and applying remedies so that the swelling in his lower back goes down. Wiz Khalifa updated the masses on Saturday, showing himself walking faster than before. “Ima finna have super hips after this,” he said.

Fans have flooded social media, offering support from afar as the rapper continues to heal. The “Black and Yellow” star appreciated the love, helping fuel his recovery process. Wiz Khalifa got into professional fighting back in 2021. He invested in the Professional Fighters League (PFL) and became an advisor to the budding sports league. Again, we are not sure if his mixed martial arts training has anything to do with his pelvic cartilage tear. But one can speculate it might be a contributing factor.

This injury comes on the heels of a rare public appearance by Wiz alongside his ex-partner Amber Rose. The two co-parents were at their 10-year-old son Sebastian’s fourth-grade graduation. The ex-couple was married for a little over a year in 2013/2014 and shares joint custody of Sebastian. Wiz Khalifa’s current girlfriend, Aimee Aguilar, was also in attendance. For now, the rapper is subjugated to his bed, letting his pelvis and lower back heal so he can get back to doing what he loves.

Billie Eilish Claims Rihanna Is The “Hottest Person To Ever Exist”

by

Young musical artist Billie Eilish is doling out love in droves. While she showed her adoration for Megan Thee Stallion earlier in the year, she now turns her attention to hip-hop superstar Rihanna. And she isn’t the only hype girl. Rapper Latto showered Rihanna with praise as well. Speaking to Vogue due to the launch of her newest perfume fragrance, Eilish No. 2, Billie touched on not only Rihanna’s awe-inspiring aura but her own style as well. “I don’t need to always prove to everyone that I’m a tomboy,” she said. “Like, that is what I am, but I also am this kind of girl.”

Billie Eilish continues: “I’m also feminine, and I’m also sexy, and I’m also cute, and I’m also just like, none of the above, and I’m just me.” With RiRi as a role model, Billie is finding ways to remove fan negativity from her life. She uses baths, big dogs, and family time as methods of focusing on what’s important in her life. As she enters the perfume scene with a splash, she wants to shed some of that tomboy essence, a defining feature at the beginning of her music career. Being everything and nothing at the same time allows Eilish to transcend identity while still being able to play in all the arenas.

Billie Eilish not only has a new fragrance out. She’s advocating for less body shaming and feeling more comfortable in her own skin. “I like myself more than I used to, and I’m more interested in how I feel than how they feel,” the singer admitted. “But then also that might be a load of bullsh*t because it still hurts my feelings like a [sonofab*tch].” She last played in concert in December of last year. Her most recent venture is acting; she played a cult leader character in Amazon Prime’s Swarm, which came out in March.

As for Rihanna, she receives this Billie Eilish praise in the midst of her second pregnancy. After dominating the Apple Music Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show, she has since gone to multiple fashion shows and musical events, including being name-dropped as A$AP Rocky’s “beautiful wife” at a Spotify Beach Concert in Paris. Safe to say, Rihanna’s basking in the spotlight without having to do too much at the moment. Both women are crushing it in their respective fields, and even beyond.

Andrew Tate Claims He May Have Been Poisoned

by

Andrew Tate has quickly become one of the most controversial people on social media. However, this controversial title is most certainly deserved. Overall, he has said some horrendous stuff on his various platforms. Moreover, he is being accused of sex trafficking and still has an ongoing case in Romania. In fact, Tate was in prison for a few months alongside his brother Tristan. Now, however, he is back home and on house arrest. During this time, he has made sure to make plenty of posts on social media for the fans he has left.

In fact, earlier today, Andrew Tate took to Twitter where he claimed that he may have been poisoned. “Face Swollen. Blood pressure is through the roof,” he wrote. “Skins on fire. Hard to breathe. Some sort of severe reaction or poison. Only had coffee and water so far today. All appeared in the last 5mins.” Additionally, he posted a photo of his face which appeared to be all swollen. This led to some concern from his fans. Moreover, his manager had to take over his Twitter and deliver a message.

Andrew Tate Deleted His Tweets

“Andrew is not allergic to anything,” the manager wrote. “This has never happened before. Has only had water and coffee today. Either an insect bite or some matrix attack insanity in his bottled water. He’s refusing doctors and is focusing on tea and breathing. Will keep you all updated.” Since that time, there has been no update on Andrew Tate and his condition. Instead, all of his tweets about the situation have been deleted. Seems like a false alarm. Either way, this was a bizarre situation that had many Twitter users scratching their heads.

Andrew Tate’s whole schtick has largely relied on the idea that there is a Matrix out there. Overall, it is a silly notion and he has been rightfully clowned for it. However, he has plenty of fanboys who adore his every move. No matter what he does, that will never change. Let us know your thoughts on this situation, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the world.

Wale Is Not Answering Your FaceTime Calls

by

Don’t try to FaceTime Wale. Don’t even try to call him on the phone. The rapper has revealed that he refuses to answer calls due to his introverted nature. Wale, who is now 38 years old, says that he feels overwhelmed by the calls. It may seem like an insignificant comment, but it says a lot about how the cultural climate has shifted in terms of mental health and boundaries. For many, Wale likely included, there was a time when not answering a phone call or a text immediately was considered extremely rude. It didn’t matter if you were busy or overwhelmed. That’s just the way it was. Now, with mental health having become such a popular topic of conversation, it seems that many find it easier to express themselves freely. Wale is just one of many artists that have begun openly speaking about their mental health and setting boundaries publicly.

Since the advent of the age of constant communication and instant gratification, it seems pretty clear that mental health has taken a sharp decline for many, many people. Having to always be “on” affects everyone, celebrity or not. This is largely in part due to things like social media and cell phones, which have allowed us to be watched and communicated with at all times. In the past, you may have been able to take some time to think about what you wanted to say before you said it. Now, if you don’t reply to a message or speak out on an issue quickly enough, you’re maligned for it. FaceTime is yet another avenue of communication that expects you to be ready to speak face-to-face at all times. Luckily, the conversation is changing, and more and more people are speaking out on the effects of these technological advancements on mental health.

The Mental Health Movement

Wale's Instagram Story

On his Instagram stories, Wale made it clear that he has no intention of taking FaceTime calls anymore. It was a refreshingly candid post that represents what a large majority of people have been feeling in regard to these types of communication. In the story, which he signed off as “overwhelmed introvert”, Wale said, “Don’t ever FaceTime me. Please and thank u. My phone is broke and even if it’s new it’s broke… FaceTime don’t work. Thank you.”

Wale is not the only celebrity that’s making headlines for speaking out on his mental health and boundaries this week. Andre Drummond, player for the Chicago Bulls, has also announced that he is taking a break from all social media and changing his number due to mental health issues. Recently, many others have done the same. The Game, Selena Gomez, Killer Mike, and SZA are just a few of the big names that have spoken publicly about mental health. With any luck, the movement will be taken more seriously as more people in the public eye continue to talk about it. What are your thoughts on the movement to prioritize mental health? Sound off in the comments below.

Elon Musk Claims Twitter Is Now Worth Way Less Than What He Paid For It

by

When Elon Musk swooped in to buy Twitter a few months ago, a lot of people laughed at him. Overall, Musk is far from the most popular person in the world. While he certainly does have an army of sycophants on Twitter, there are many who take issue with his business practices. Moreover, his behavior on social media is oftentimes that of a divorced dad with too much time on his hands. That said, perhaps it isn’t so surprising that he would want to be the owner of a platform that is known for housing the chronically online.

Either way, he bought the platform for a grand total of $44 billion. At the time, many felt as though he was grossly overpaying for the platform. After all, Twitter is not meant to be a huge cash cow. However, his meme offer put him in a precarious position, and he was forced to acquire the company. Since then, Twitter has only gotten worse. A horrific For You page, increased levels of racism, and Twitter Blue have made the website almost inhospitable. Consequently, the company is now experiencing major losses in its evaluation.

Elon Musk State Of The Union

According to TMZ, a memo from Elon addressed to Twitter employees claims that the company is now only worth upwards of $20 billion. When you do the math, you realize that Elon Musk has lost over half of his investment. Although, Musk doesn’t seem too concerned right now. He believes that Twitter would have gone bankrupt if it were not for him. This is quite a bold statement, however, it isn’t that surprising when you consider how only a select few are crazy enough to pay to use Twitter.

It remains to be seen how Musk will be able to turn the company around, if at all. Advertisers are already running for the hills in regard to Twitter as content moderation has been pitiful. In Musk’s eyes though, he is the best CEO to ever exist. If only we all could have such visions of ourselves.

Pentagon Claims Aliens Have Been Sending Probes Since 2017

by

Whether you believe in aliens or not does not matter. The government is fully on board with the idea that they are going to come and possibly invade us. On March 7, the Pentagon released a report. Unlike their usual reports, this one has caught the public eye. The reason for it being that they are straight-up saying that aliens exist and have been sending mini-probes since 2017.

The AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office) was renamed from the Airborne Object Identification and Management Group (AOIMSG) in 2022 and was given a new mission to detect and identify unidentified stuff near military bases and satellites, specifically things that can go from one terrain to another. What they claim to have discovered literally sounds like a science fiction novel.

Aliens Are Real, Apparently

In 2017, there was a quarter-mile-long object found by astronomer Robert Weryk named Oumuamua. It was named after the Hawaiian word for scout because it was discovered in the Haleakalā Observatory in Hawaii. Oumuamua acts very strangely for an object from outer space, as we currently understand it. It is able to move away from the sun without a cometary tail. There are a couple of theories on why this is the case that does not involve aliens. However, nothing is proven yet. The object is currently on its way out of our solar system.

In the report, penned by Sean Kirkpatrick, the director of the AARO, claims that the Oumuamua is an alien mothership that is sending mini-probes to the planets in our solar system. This is like how NASA does planetary exploration. The reason why astronauts have not been able to see these mini-probes is that they are too small. They do not reflect enough light for our telescopes to see them. The AARO claims that there are not actually any aliens in the mothership and that it is all being operated by an AI. Kirkpatrick ends the insane report with a reminder of why they are needed. “AARO provides the opportunity to integrate and resolve threats and hazards to the US, while also offering increased transparency to the American people and reducing the stigma.”

Soulja Boy Explains That The World Is Cruel

by

Soulja Boy went online for a stream recently and explained why he does not open up about his personal life. He knows that the internet does not care about how he feels about things, so he does not tell them. The philosophy that he has for his personal emotions is one of existential nihilism. That is to say, he does not believe that any one person is special. The only reason people listen to him is because of his music and his money.

Soulja Boy started the stream by talking about how you can’t talk about your emotions on the internet. He tells his audience that the world is cruel and unforgiving and that strangers online will make fun of you for your traumas. Soulja Boy also talks about how people call him cocky. He explains that he covers his emotions with his cockiness while flexing his pile of cash that is next to him, implying that the only thing that actually matters in the world is money. Money is the only thing that has any intrinsic value to it. The more you have, the more that you matter to the world. This is standard fare for existential nihilism. When nothing has inherent value, you focus on what has external value, which is money.

Soulja Boy Thinks Nobody Matters

Soulja Boy also explains that the reason he does not get mad at the world for being a cruel and unforgiving place is that he knows that everyone is going through their own issues. Everyone has their own issues that they are not telling the world. As such, we all just focus on making money to avoid said issues.

He finishes the conversation by talking about why he does not do interviews very often. Whenever he does do them, they go viral. As such, there is nothing personal about them. They are pure entertainment, so he will treat them as such while he focuses on getting money. The existential nihilist believes that the world is cruel and unforgiving because we are all insignificant in the grand scheme of things. As such, the only thing that matters is enjoying your time alive and slightly changing the few things that can be controlled, such as money.

Busta Rhymes Throws Drink At Woman Who Grabbed His Butt, She Responds

by

Fans are often known to push boundaries, but Busta Rhymes wasn’t having it with a woman who grabbed him. The Rap legend is a relatively unproblematic figure in Hip Hop, and he’s not the type to unleash on supporters. However, a video surfaced on showing an unfortunate encounter that reportedly occurred yesterday (February 13) while Bus was in Las Vegas.

According to reports, Busta was at the Las Vegas Convention Center for the MAGIC Fashion Trade Show. In the brief video, he can be seen making his way through a small crowd with his team flanking both sides. Then, a woman comes up behind him and quickly grabs his behind. The rapper swings around, looking visibly upset, and immediately throws his drink.

The woman looked as if she was smiling or laughing before the drink toss. However, her later reaction wasn’t caught on tape, but she reportedly spoke with The Shade Room about the altercation. She was identified as Nikita Mathis, owner of Platinum Plus Fashions Boutique. Additionally, Mathis insisted that she didn’t intend to touch Busta inappropriately and was only excited to see the Rap icon.

“I didn’t mean to touch his behind honestly I was just happy to meet him and wanted a pic,” she further said. “Been a long time fan I admit I shouldn’t have touch him at all but he’s BUSTA I felt like I could possibly get a pic.” Still, Mathis’s explanation was criticized by people who claimed she shouldn’t have touched the rapper at all.

Nike Sues Lululemon For Patent Infringement Over 4 Shoe Designs

by

A legal team that isn’t getting any rest these days is the one working for Nike. The famed brand has taken several companies to court over the years, and according to CNBC, Lululemon is the latest to face a lawsuit. We recently reported that Nike was gearing up to face off against BAPE after it was alleged the latter company copied designs.

In its most recent lawsuit, the company claimed Lululemon is guilty of patent infringement in relation to its “Chargefeel Mid, Chargefeel Low, Blissfeel and Strongfeel shoes.”

Nike further alleged it has “suffered economic harm and irreparable injury” due to Lululemon selling similar styles of shoes. They detailed the alleged copied elements, including “knitted elements, webbed areas and tubular structures on the footwear.”

Meanwhile, Lululemon has issued a statement denying any wrongdoing.

“Nike’s claims are unjustified, and we look forward to proving our case in court,” a Lululemon spokesperson said.

This isn’t the first time Nike and Lululemon have been at odds. The swoosh company previously filed a lawsuit this time last year. They accused Lululemon of “infringing on six patents” related to its “at-home Mirror fitness device” along with apps.

That case is ongoing. Nike is seeking unspecified damages in this most recent case. Lululemon has faced a slew of backlash over the years related to its practices, controversial prints on shirts, or statement made by high-level executives.
