The Lochte Apology

screenshot-heavyeditorial.files.wordpress.com 2016-08-19 14-23-24 So Lochte says he wasn't "totally candid" with his initial story about being robbed at gunpoint while in Brazil last weekend.  That's putting it mildly. He and his fellow swimmers said police pulled their cab over, dragged them out at gunpoint, forced them to the ground and robbed them of $400.  What we know now is that the US Olympians were at a gas station in Rio, when for whatever reason, they kicked a bathroom door in. This caused security to round them up and force them to sit on a...

Did Amy Schumer Reveal Her Show is Ending?

  screenshot-cdn1.thr.com 2016-08-18 03-35-28  Amy Schumer was inundated on her twitter account last night by people calling for the comedian to fire a writer on her Inside Amy Schumer show, because of comments he made about rape victims on his own twitter page. Writer Kurt Metzger has upset a lot of people when he slammed rape victims for not reporting the assault when it happens. Metzger was more or less defending a fellow comedians (who he says he does not know) right to due process before people assume claims of rape from several women are true. S...

The Olsen Twins Have a Type
