Bruce Jenner May Or May Not Want To Be A Woman
Spotted on Perez Hilton:
We’ve seen some pretty bizarre cover stories in our time, but this one might just take the cake! And it’s not even The National Enquirer!!
There’s obviously nothing wrong with being transgendered, but now Star magazine has taken it upon themselves to “expose” Bruce Jenner amidst all the reports of his separation from Kris!
Talk about a rumor!! Yeesh!!According to their sources, this is the real reason behind their split and why Kris felt okay to say she regretted her divorce from Robert Kardashian. Their cover story further explains their accusations, reporting:
“Bruce has a feminine side. He likes growing his hair out, likes getting manicures and pedicures and won’t leave his house without his diamond earrings. And he’s obsessed with plucking his eyebrows! Kris has told Bruce that she will reveal his secret if he doesn’t go along with her plans about their split or their show.”
2014 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Nominees Released (Video)
You can head here to check out the list and vote for who you think should make the cut amongsst next year’s nominees. From USA Today, where you can check out a breakdown of who’s nominated:
Twenty-five years after asking fans if they could feel the band’s “love buzz,” Nirvana is nominated for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.
It’s the first year that the influential grunge rockers have been eligible for consideration, joining the ranks of other first-time nominees such as Linda Ronstadt, Peter Gabriel, Hall & Oates and Yes.
Also on the ballot are returning favorites from last year such as Chic, Deep Purple and The Meters, along with hip-hop luminaries N.W.A. and LL Cool J.
It’s a diverse field, one that will likely see fan support swell behind beloved acts such as Kiss and Nirvana, and spark debates over the inclusion of Chic and Hall & Oates, who may not seem like textbook examples of rock artists. “This year’s nominees represent the broad definition of ‘rock ‘n’ roll’ and include an array of artists whose fans are deeply passionate about the possibility of induction,” says Joel Peresman, president and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation.
For a second year, the public will be given a chance to participate in the selection process, and can cast votes through Dec. 10…the top five artists, as selected by the masses, will make up a fans’ ballot, a single vote in choosing the 2014 inductees.
An artist or band becomes eligible for a nomination 25 years after releasing a debut single or album, meaning that the 2014 nominees released their first recording no later than 1988.
Inductees will be determined by the hall’s voting body of roughly 600 artists, historians and music industry professionals. The performers who receive the highest number of votes will be inducted April 10 in New York.

The Game Gives His Opinion On What Rappers He Could Knock Out
Vlad Tv reports:
Following the airing of the BET Hip Hop Awards on Tuesday night, Game let his feelings be known about the cypher part. He stated that without TDE, the whole cypher lineup would’ve been whack.
“If it wasn’t for TDE sh*t woulda been a**. #WestSideGotIt,” tweeted Game. “Never held my tonnage. Never will…Y’all love these n*ggas today..Jump on a new n*gga d*ck tomorrow. I been here, 5 albums…ALL PLATINUM.”
He then went on to diss several rappers, including 40 Glocc, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, and even Gucci Mane, stating he could knock out each one.
Though the cyphers definitely irritated him, it seems like a “late” delivery pizza was the source of his real frustration. Check out the tweets above.

Adrian Peterson Has Another Secret Child
TMZ reports:
We’ve confirmed … the child is a 3-month-old little girl who’s living with her mom in Minnesota.
Sources close to the situation tell us the child’s last name on her birth certificate is listed as “Peterson.”
On the day Peterson’s 2-year-old son Ty passed away, the mother of AP’s 4th child posted an emotional message on her Facebook page about the situation.
“Today has been a long day finding out my [daughter’s] brother passed away and knowing that she never even got to meet him.”
Sources connected to the situation tell us … the mother of AP’s 4th child first met the NFL star while serving him as a VIP waitress at a place called Seven — a steakhouse, sushi joint and ultralounge all wrapped in one.
It’s unclear how involved Adrian has been in the child’s life — but the mother recently posted a photo showing the child decked out in Minnesota Vikings gear, so we’re guessing they’re cool
