That Time Two Billionaires Got Into A Fistfight Over Miranda Kerr

Take it away, Michael Bluth! Toddler-faced supermodel (yes ladies, it hurt me to type that) and shameless money hunter Miranda Kerr was the subject of a knock-down, drag-out brawl in the middle of the street on Sunday. According to The Daily Mail, the fight happened outside the home of one of Kerr’s current fuck pieces, billionaire businessman and amateur Shrek impersonator James Packer.

It all started when James’s best friend since childhood, billionaire businessman David Gyngell, showed up at his house in Sydney to confront him over his decision to leave his wife of nearly 7 years for the billionaire bloodhound. The two started arguing, which naturally turned into punching, then full-on fighting on the front lawn in their sweatpants. Thank god there was a pap lurking nearby in the bushes, because The Daily Mail has some truly beautiful pictures of those two middle-aged rich assholes rassling around like children. Eventually the two were pulled apart by bodyguards and were each fined $500 by police for ‘offensive behavior’.

I know these two dudes have enough money to buy all of us 6 times over, but fighting in your sweatpants on your front lawn is the definition of TRASH. And all because James wanted to remove his married dick from his wife and stick it in Miranda Kerr? Good lord. By the way, Florida would like a word with you, James and David. Showing up at your best friend’s house on a Sunday afternoon in a pair of sweatpants and kicking their ass on the front lawn over a girl who makes a living taking pictures in her underwear is kind of their thing.

Open Post: Hosted By 50 Cent Narrating Basement Baby’s Beat Down Video

The worst thing about the elevator video of Basement Baby busting some Real Housewives of the Basement shit on Jay-Z is that there’s absolutely no audio, because I want my ringtone to be a clip of Basement Baby shouting, “I’ve got your 100th problem right here, Jigga,” at BeyonceBot’s hard drive hums in the background. So Two Quarters did everyone a favor and narrated that shit, because what else does have to do? I bet 50 Cent is really good at playing Barbies. Fuck that Marcy shit, this is Houston!

Awww, How Cute – Baby’s First Pony Ride

“Ugh, I can’t believe I have to carry this little shit around on my back all day. Couldn’t I be sent to the glue factory instead? I don’t care if I get moldy carrots for a week, I’m going to throw him the first chance I get.” – That pissed off-looking horse.

Just like most little girls his age, Justin Bieber is at that stage where he’s gone horse crazy, and after begging and pleading with his Mom and promising to put away all his My Little Ponies and return all the Saddle Club books he borrowed from the library and make his bed every day for two weeks (and because he could use some cheering up after getting booed at the Clippers game on Sunday) she let him ride real-live horses in Toluca Lake, CA with a couple of his closest friends and bodyguards. I hope someone brought a camera; it’s a big day in a little boy’s life when he’s finally old enough to graduate from the coin-operated pony ride in front of the grocery store.

All jokes aside though, where was PETA when that little shithead climbed on top of that poor horse? Forcing a horse to carry Justin Bieber’s smug baby-douche ass up and down the dusty trail should be considered animal abuse. Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the ponies?!?

Here’s more of Baby Bieber looking like the 3rd runner up in a Vanilla Ice look-alike contest at the County Fair:

‘Gotham’ Producers Promise That The Joker Will Appear On The Batman Prequel Series

Entertainment Weekly magazine sat down with Gotham showrunner Bruno Heller to talk about one of the most-anticipated new TV shows of the fall season and in their discussion, the subject of the villainous character The Joker came up. As you may know, young versions of The Penguin, Catwoman, The Riddler and Poison Ivy will be introduced when Gotham debuts later this year but Heller promises that The Joker will appear on the show, too … at some point. Because The Joker is the greatest of Batman‘s Rogues Gallery of Villains (and, IMHO, the greatest comic book villain of all time), great care must be taken for his arrival on Gotham to be perfect. But he is coming … we can count on that.

Which Batman characters are you likely to introduce this season?
Obviously, the Penguin, Riddler, young Catwoman, Alfred. Possibly Harvey Dent. Poison Ivy. Um … and then there will be others, but I hate to — I’m so used to doing a police procedural, so I’m used to telling, “Next week he’s going to go there.” With this, it’s very much storytelling. So I would be remiss to tell you who will show up when. I will say we’re not going to skimp on giving people the characters they want and expect from Gotham. But when and how they’re going to show up is half the fun. Penguin is one of those guys that, as soon as you see him, you go, “Oh, that’s the Penguin.” It would be hard to disguise him as somebody else.

So you might stealth introduce somebody who later becomes somebody else.
Exactly. Because we’re starting way before these villains even themselves knew they were villains. Some of them started out as good guys. So there will be a lot of that.

You mentioned The Killing Joke. So you’ll bring in The Joker?
He’s the crown jewel of the Batman villains. He will be brought in with great care and a lot of thought.

Some feel Heath Ledger’s performance was so iconic it would be a mistake to try to do that character again so soon.
I’ve written scenes for Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony and Cleopatra. So while that is a serious and valid note, you can’t get into doing this without going there. That was a wonderful performance and — apart from everything else — wonderful make-up. And we should try to live up to that. It will be a different character. It’s certainly going to be more Heath Ledger than Cesar Romero. But like I say, all of these people are real people with feelings and emotions and history and parents. I just build from that.

The full interview can be read HERE. I’m hopeful that Gotham will turn out to be a great show and yes, of course, they have to introduce The Joker … maybe as the cliffhanger at the end of season 1 of the show? It’s silly to think that you can’t do the Joker as a character again because of Heath Ledger‘s portrayal. Hell, we’ve already got a new Batman in Ben Affleck even tho everyone is still pretty much in love with Christian Bale‘s performance as the Dark Knight. These characters are iconic and the can find new life over and over again. I just hope they do it right. I’m excited to see how Gotham will turn out. I can’t wait for its debut this fall.
