Thought You Should Know July 7-11th

It was reported this week that Justin Beiber was pulled over in LA by police, which was pretty embarrassing for Justin, because the reason the officer pulled him over was that he thought a 12 year old was driving the car.

The Hunger Games book trilogy is going to be made into four movies, as Lionsgate announced that the last book, “Mockingjay” will be split into two films. This really is terrific news, because today’s society, where children are reportedly more violent, really needs more movies that involve a game where kids violently kill each other.

During a performance in the UK, Rihanna's wardrobe malfunctioned according to some media outlets. Although, I’m pretty sure this “malfunction” only revealed just as much skin, or less, as Rihanna’s attire normally does.

During a performance in the UK, Rihanna suffered from a wardrobe malfunction, which begs the question, “Was ‘Where Have You Been’ a song for a better costume designer?”

A study conducted by the University of Wisconsin found that the amount of time spent on Facebook is not linked to causing depression. The study's sample, however, did not include people who post song lyrics from Adele or “like” The Notebook and are listed as "single."

On July 18^th, the world will celebrate the first photograph ever that was posted on the internet. Fortunately, the picture was not of male genitalia or lolcats. Unfortunately, it is proof that the 90s need never return.

Alice Van Ness was fired from her job as a yoga instructor at Facebook’s Menlo Park campus. Van Ness discouraged the use of smart phones in her class. In Facebook’s defense, the firing is justifable, because students were unable to check-in to their location when updating their status to, “Totally focused on yoga. Learning the acrobatic half-moon pose. Namaste” while simultaneously uploading a photo.

Adam Lambert is reportedly a contender for a potential job as a judge on American Idol. I’m just glad the show’s getting back to its roots and finding a judge who will both wear a too-tight black T-shirt and behave in such a way that confuses people.

A man in Pennsylvania was arrested for breaking into a Subway restaurant and stealing bags of chips. Police found the man by following a trail of chips that he had dropped. In the man’s defense, he was really affected by the Hansel and Gretel episode of “Once Upon A Time.”

In Wisconsin, after a waitress brought a man a piece of cake on his birthday at the request of his friends to cheer him up, the man pulled a gun out and told them to “back up off me.” In the man’s defense, he was depressed because he just found out he has celiac disease.
