And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

What a Hot Mess: Another Informercial Star Dead

Geez what is it with these infomercial stars dying all of a sudden?  Remember Bill Mays?  I think everyone can relate to these sales pitches on television in one way or the other.  Either your parents have bought into some of them, or you were hoping to become rich by buying into some ridiculous program that would bring you riches beyond your wildest dreams.

Well, Don Lapre, the star of those "tiny classified ads" committed suicide inside an Arizona jail cell this past Sunday.  According to TMZ, he accomplished this task by "self-mutilation" and when the officers found him, there was a "large amount of blood" in his cell.  

Lapre was recently charged with conspiracy, mail fraud and wire fraud in his latest "Greatest Vitamin in The World" snake oil scam.  He walked off with $52 million buckaroos and screwing thousands of consumers. 

What a shame and yes,  What a Hot Mess!

Okay, tried watching the video and I can't see how he could have possibly made all that money. First off, no one buys newspapers anymore so how the hell are you going to sell so many ads? Secondly, this guy's voice is annoying. No charm like that of Billy Mays, and if I had to hear his ass say the words "tiny classified ads" one more time....

well.....

he's dead now so I guess there's not much left to do about it. Oh well.
