Bully pulpit

Cameron Hamilton, mayor of Porterville, Calif., had some advice for people who are bullied: “grow a pair.”  After sparking a national outcry, Hamilton later took to CNN to complain about the masses of people harrassing and abusing him for his beliefs. Yes, really. Small town politics are just so charming, aren’t they?

Coming down

Rapper Wiz Khalifa was arrested for marijuana possession in El Paso, Texas, because, well, duh. It’s just surprising that it took this long. Wiz smokes weed so brazenly, it raises questions about whether he realizes that it’s actually illegal to smoke and possess the stuff. Wiz, unperturbed, took a selfie in jail. Mellow.

Million Dollar Voice

A clip of Morgan Freeman talking with his voice pitched up by helium  went viral this week, proving Morgan Freeman thinks his voice is as awesome as the rest of us do. If we were Morgan Freeman, we wouldn’t stop with helium. We’d experiment with auto-tune, a talk box and a mouth full of peanut butter too.

Money shot

Rapper T.I., in a bout of poor judgment, took a swing at welterweight champion Floyd “Money” Mayweather this weekend over inappropriate associations between he and T.I.’s wife. It’s one thing to feud with Ludacris, but it’s another thing to pick a fight with a guy WHO HAS LITERALLY NEVER LOST A FIGHT.
