    Why are they so f-cking nuts? Jesus. Isn’t there some sort of book report due for these crazy f-cks?
    Also… Upsessing? Where do they do that at?

    • Pandora says:

      Lols

    • ol cranky says:

      Thanks to a local news report of two fellows in an organization being arrested, I’ve realized that it’s not just the little kid Belieber types who have this sort of reaction to little things that seem to scandalize them. Based on FB posts to the local news station and other places, people seem are so willing to believe whatever they want to believe and attack a messenger for saying something they don’t want to hear that even adults seem to become unhinged quite easily.

    • Me Three says:

      So true. I LOVE Patrick Carney! His responses to these nuts were priceless.

  2. Sandy says:

    Both of them seem immature here.

  3. Pandora says:

    I just got bitch slapped by my 14 yr old after she heard me laughing MAO and came to see why.

    Damn, the beliebers are both obsessively homophobic AND completely illiterate, I’m SO surprised………….

  4. MissM says:

    is this real???? Young people use gay as an insult????!!!!!????? And that Bieber says nothing?????!!!

    • Incredulous says:

      Yes. The internet has caused the word gay to start shifting again and it can mean (not necessarily does mean, mind you) terrible or shoddy.

      Whether it manages to make the full transition is still to be determined. I think it won’t.

    • Amelia says:

      Ohhh, yes. Unfortunately, it was all over the place when I was at 6th form and uni.
      Smh.
      I once heard a kid say “Oh yeah? Well you’re so STRAIGHT,” to prove a point about how ridiculous it was to use gay as a slur.
      Haha, the kid he was talking to was so stunned.

    • Emily says:

      This was pretty much my reaction. Didn’t we already resolve this at least 15 years ago?

      My second reaction is: these kids are really bad at thinking up insults. Besides the homophobia, there’s no originality whatsoever. I thought the internet meant that kids would be better at insults, but way back in 1991, when I was 14, we were much more creative than this. Hopefully it’s just this group, or the fine art of tearing people to shreds verbally will be lost.

    • littlemissnaughty says:

      Please. Bieber honestly thought he deserved that Grammy nom. As if he will call his fans out on anything, they LOOOVE and support him. Money and fame doesn’t come with a brain or the least bit of moral fiber. He’s a child and his fans are really starting to offend me.

      Where are their parents??? If this was my kid, I would freak the eff out. Who raises these children who use gay as an insult?

    • Tyler says:

      It’s not homophobic. The word “gay” used to mean happy before it became synonymous with homosexuality. It now means 3 different things- happy, homosexual, and corny.

      • Hautie says:

        So true… when I was in high school… gay did mean corny.

        It was not some slur. Granted I was in high school in the 80’s.

        But I have always been puzzled by how it became a hate filled slur.

  5. judyjudy says:

    That white and purple outfit…omg …..

    • Jane says:

      Actually, purple is the color of the lights. But the outfit is still silly looking. Celebrity feuds are just dumb and this is right up there with dumb, dumb and dumber.

  6. RocketMerry says:

    It makes me feel sooooo very old that in my 20s I already am not understanding ANY of this technologic mumbo-jumbo.

    Retweet? # ? Beliebers? I’m officially old.

    • Justyna says:

      The same with me. I’m only 23 and I have no idea what is going on. The generation gap between people our age (not to mention older) and the tweens and teens is so huge that I’m sure it would be easier to find a common ground with people from the senior centre than high schoolers who are only slightly younger than us. Plus my English is far from perfect because I started learning it just few years ago as my 3rd language, but even I am horrified by the number of spelling and grammar mistakes they make (Bieber included, I’ve read some of his Tweets before). Is it on purpose because correct spelling is too mainstream or are they all just ridiculously dumb and uneducated?

      • Isa says:

        I have a twitter and i tweet. But I still have a hard time reading this mess.

      • Justyna says:

        Isa – I have a Twitter too (I follow, don’t Tweet) but I can’t understand the point in what some people use it for. All those stupid trends, hashtags, memes, actions, groups like Beliebers and mostly the fact that 13-year old girls are sending death treaths and cursing other people like old sailors for saying anything bad about their idol. They will regret it someday. I’m laughing at myself for the things I’ve done 10 years ago and I was a foolish teenager as well, but at least I’ve never insulted strangers on a public forum (gay as an insult, really?) and other people cannot find the evidence of my stupidity now. Imagine the embarassment when 10 years from now someone will find all the ridiculous stuff they posted and use it against them.

  7. Layale says:

    I think it’s so ironic that Bieber has an anti-bullying video, but then proceeds to suggest violence against someone. After which, his fans use “gay” as a slur. Who’s bullying now?

  8. garvels says:

    The Bieber fans and the Swift fans are certainly over the top when it comes to social media. I thought this was soooo funny.

    • claire says:

      And the Gaga fans and most certainly the Chris Brown fans.

      • Georg says:

        Don’t forget the Rihanna navy! They insult that new artist Rita Ora simply because she looks slightly like Rihanna but has a better voice.

  9. Kim says:

    He better be careful those twelve year olds threaten to kill Selena Gomez when they started dating

  10. Rita says:

    I like the music of, “The Black Keys”. Not really important but I thought I would mention it.

  11. Samigirl says:

    The story of that guy slapping the toddler on the airplane makes my BLOOD BOIL. I would be in jail right next to him for assault had he dared touched my baby!

    • Hannah Young says:

      Me, too, Samigirl! I’d be sitting right next to you for punching that racist piece of sh*t to an inch of his life.

    • Kim says:

      Radaronline is reporting he was fired from his job yesterday also he could go to jail for assaulting child.He assaulted a GF a few years ago

    • L says:

      Not to mention calling a 18 month old a ‘n— baby’. I’d be all over anyone that did that period, let alone my own kid.

  12. BennyJenny says:

    That’s an Aronofsky baby…

  13. Mia 4S says:

    Yuck, I mean I was pretty unbearable as a teenager (most of us were) but at least I was never an illiterate homophobe. Or at least I hope those messages were from teenagers!

  14. & says:

    It takes some kind of douchebaggery to slap a baby and call it the n-word. I would have gone all bjork on that b****.

  15. Kim says:

    I see Charlize also invited Handler to her party .Hopefully she won’t make racist comments about Louis or Jackson.All in jest of course because she loves the Blacks and The Asians(Chelsea’s words)

    • lisa2 says:

      She has always been in my top 5. After I found out about this friendship. Well she is not in my top 5. Lost respect for someone that could be friend with this woman on any level.

      JMO.. and there you go

  16. TheOneAndOnlyOnly says:

    If you haven’t seen the black keys live do yourself a favor and see them; my son and his friends introduced me to them several years ago before they really blew up; they’ve paid their dues for years and can say anything they want in my book about this talentless little girl and his tone deaf fans; and what the HELL is he wearing in that last pic – oversized long winter underwear. David Cassidy was Mozart compared to this twerp.

  17. Blue says:

    Someone needs to hand these children a book or dictionary. My gosh they are ignorant.

  18. Agnes says:

    It’s sad to see that the word “gay” is intended as a slur/offense/put-down with the kids these days. Very sad.

    • Layale says:

      Agreed! I had naively thought we (in the general sense) were moving past that. This bit of news shocked me back into a sad reality. : /

  19. Thiajoka says:

    I have so loved the Biebergate this past week that I’ve followed it daily and LMFAO the entire time, especially when Patrick changed his Twitter page.

    I bet Michelle raised her eyebrow really high at the president off to play golf with Tiger Woods. I know I would have.

    • Kim says:

      Whats the difference in playing golf with Tiger or with President Clinton or half of Congress.They are all cheaters.Well not half of Congress maybe a third.

    • Emily says:

      I would be perfectly happy for my husband to play golf with Tiger Woods. (I’d want to come along, but to play golf, not act as chaperone, because I married a man, not a little boy.) Tiger Woods cheated on his wife with consenting adult women — he’s not a rapist, not racist, not violent, doesn’t endanger others while driving, doesn’t chase teenage girls, and doesn’t take performance-enhancing drugs. I’m not saying I’d be his best friend, but he does not deserve the scorn that’s been heaped on him.

      • Thiajoka says:

        I’ll reply to Emily and Kim in this same response.

        Mostly that was just a joke and I clearly don’t take this matter nearly as seriously as either of you do.

        I do disagree with many recurring comments on this website promoting the constant, very strong opinion from many members that all cheaters are always cheaters, so don’t lump me in with them when I just made an offbeat joke.

        What’s the difference between Clinton and Woods? Well, I’ll let the thought police on here guide you on that one–I have no opinion except to say that it might be a bit harder for the ex-president to get away with stuff due to secret service. But maybe not.

        Now, let’s all take a breath and get back to our lovely Mondays, shall we?

  20. Heather says:

    Belieber: “Get a life and stop UPsessing over Justin”

    OMG the irony…wow.

    • Kim says:

      I am not up on all the texting/twitter lingo what does that mean? Also I just read Cancer survivor Ethon and his GF Jenna from the Survivor show split after ten years.

  21. jwoolman says:

    I was reading the comments on the Carney/Bieber story on TMZ and it seems his preteen fans wandered over there to spit at Carney also. The odd thing is that Carney didn’t really say anything awful – some pap asked him about Bieber not getting a Grammy, and he quite rightly pointed out that Bieber was already rich and should be happy about that. TMZ’s headline claiming the guy said Bieber “didn’t deserve” a Grammy seemed quite a stretch from the actual quotes, which I interpreted as just meaning Bieber was already rich and famous, getting a Grammy wouldn’t add to that. He was being polite and avoiding trashing the guy’s music, obviously they have non-overlapping audiences so there’s no competition between them. Did people really expect Bieber to get a Grammy? He’s good but still very young, hasn’t yet grown out of a very limited, very young non-discriminating audience. He has a few years to prove himself with a wider audience, if he doesn’t die in a flaming car wreck first. Anyway- Bieber actually got his young fans into attack mode with his stupid inflammatory “joke” that Carney should be slapped. He should have laughed it off, and admitted the guy was right, he doesn’t need a Grammy right now to get more rich or more famous. Bieber is just too immature himself to have a clue about such things, but he’s 18 and that’s allowed. Loved the way Carney responded to the onslaught by putting Bieber’s picture on his own profile! With predictable results – the young Bieberites just frothed at the mouth even more. The kids were almost cute the way they tried to pretend they “used to be fans of Carney” but were dropping him since his “attack” on their beloved Bieber. Honestly, I doubt any of them knew who Carney was until they were whipped up into a frenzy by TMZ’s typical misleading attempt at “reporting”. TMZ headlines often don’t match the story very well.

    • PinkG says:

      TMZ is a joke. They are instigators and benefactors of payola. Harvey is just a nasty little twerp.

    • Adrien says:

      He said that “Grammys should be about music not money and that Justin has lots of money” or something like that. It’s actually a hidden insult. He was insinuating that Beibs does not deserve a Grammy and just be contented not having one because he’s super rich.

  22. Nance says:

    Beiber fans use “gay” as a slur to person and this person is not Beiber? Beliebers stop give us munition like that. It’s funny AND sad.

  23. akua says:

    Okay, first read the Vin Diesel line as “balled” instead of “ballad” lol, was confused for a second 🙂

  24. skuddles says:

    Happy Birthday Yoko! 80… wow.

  25. Runs with Scissors says:

    Looks like Natalie Portman dyed her hair to match her son’s?

  26. Moi says:

    Oh my goodness, we have another Brad Pitt on the way. Toddler girls get ready! So cute!

  27. Lexie says:

    bieber fans notwithstanding, the black keys guy seems like a douche.
