Ben Affleck’s Dolphin Joins Our List Of Goofy Celebrity Tattoos

We’re going to take a break from commenting on Ben Affleck’s new Justin-Bieber-as-a-mountain-man look for a little bit so we can reflect on what appears to be a new tattoo. Or at least it’s new to us. The actor flashed the ink as he took his daughters Violet and Seraphina to lunch in LA over the weekend, and to be honest we’re still trying to figure out what the hell it’s supposed to be. People keep insisting that the tat is a picture of a dolphin, but we’re not so convinced. It looks more to us like it could be one of the following:

1. The fabled Loch Ness Monster.

2. A tribute to the film Free Willy.

3. McDonald-Land character Grimace, after being run over with a steam roller.

4. A shaggy mop-top toupee.

Any suggestions, guys? But regardless of whatever it happens to be, Ben has officially joined our list of the goofiest celebrity tattoos. Check out the rest of the entries in the gallery below!

Lil Wayne’s Sizzurp Situation

Not that we didn’t already know this, but Lil Wayne is owning up to having a sizzurp addiction, which he apparently kicked last year, TMZ reports. The rapper’s confessing his problem in a documentary-style video, specifically speaking about how he used to tank up on sizzurp — which is a codeine based cough syrup — as he got more and more famous, to cope with the pressure. He got hooked initially as a kid because Pimp C, who died of an accidental overdose from the drink in 2007, used to rap about it. Pimp C was also one of Weezy‘s idols. Of quitting his habit, Wayne’s saying, “I’m not sick anymore.” We’re glad he stopped but we’re even more glad that he’s talking about it.

Did Lil Wayne Have Sex With A 16-Year-Old Fan?

Here’s some underage groupie drama for you. A Canadian teen named Sarah (who goes by Sisi) vaguely claimed via Twitter and Facebook that something went down between her and Lil Wayne. After driving to Montreal to see his concert, the 16-year-old met the Weezy and appears to have hung out with him in his tourbus. Things get fishy from there. There are texts, Facebook comments and tweets that all seem to point to some smexin’ going down (which would possibly violate LW’s parole, as Media Take Out notes), but Sisi took to YouTube (of course) on Saturday to post a video in which she denies the rumors. She also calls the rapper “one of the greatest people out there” and “the absolute best rapper alive,” which are nice things to say about someone whether you boned them or not.

We can’t quite tell what the real story is, but we’re really connectin’ with the words of wisdom her Snookified friend drops in their video. She says, “F*ck what you heard, recognize what you see.” Confusing, because what we see are photos, texts and comments that seem to point to something more than just a fan meet n’ greet. But hey, way to stick up for your friend, gurl!

 

Lil Wayne’s Party Wraps Up Because Of Pepper Spray Attack

This is one of the most crazy stories we’ve heard in a while. Lil Wayne‘s party was targeted by a pepper spraying idiot last night, who took the attack up a notch by a touch of (evil) ingenuity. The rapper was performing at a club in Montreal, Canada called La Mouche when some douche (do you see the rhyme?) decided to screw up the party. The afterparty actually — where Weezy was showing everyone a good time post his show.

This person actually put pepper spray into the air ducts of the club so it went everywhere. The whole place had to be evacuated because once it got into the ventilation system it spread like wildfire. Wayne’s people say he’s, “okay and gearing for his next stop in Toronto.” Nuts right? Who does stuff like this? We’re so glad Wayne and everyone else are okay because that has got to have been one painful party.

Lil Wayne’s Getting Sued Over “BedRock”

Yabba dabba doesn’t Weezy get a few months off without someone coming at him with a lawsuit. Looks like it’s Lil Wayne’s “BedRock” that is currently getting the rapper sued for copyright infringement. Sadly, the plaintiffs are not the concerned citizens of Fred Flintstone’s hometown, but instead Georgia production company Done Deal Enterprises. They’re accusing Weezy of stealing their song, also entitled “BedRock,” and violating their copyright by using elements of it in his version. As part of their suit, Done Deal is seeking $15 million, plus any and all baby wooly mammoths Wayne might be using as a vacuum cleaner.

This isn’t the first time Weezy has had legal troubles; Lil Wayne’s unpaid taxes and hit song “Lollipop” have been the focus of two previous lawsuits against the rapper, in the past two years alone. Lil Wayne must appear in court October 12 to respond to the suit, but considering the man can afford the world’s finest pelicans to be his washing machine, we doubt it’ll be his last time Weezy will be standing before a judge.

Lil Wayne Declined Bieber Collabo, Wants To Work With Justin Timberlake

Lil Wayne’s new album Tha Charter IV is due out August 22, but that Lil Wayne Justin Bieber collabo you’ve been dreaming about won’t be on it. “That’s my little homie now,” Wayne says about Bieber. “He texts me every night asking me to do [his] damn song. That’s my n—-, but I can’t do it.” It turns out, however, that Wayne didn’t turn down the partnership because makes no musical sense; no, it’s because Wayne doesn’t want to ruin Bieber’s nice guy image. “Like I said, I don’t want to f— his s— up,” Wayne tells XXL Mag. We’re pretty sure Bieber will be okay either way; he’s already working with Usher, Ludacris, Lil Wayne once Justin goes all Eminem after he finishes puberty…

Every though Bieber is out, there are plenty of pretty boy singer’s Wayne is dying to work with. “But like I said, I want to work with Justin Timberlake,” he explains.”That boy got a voice; that boy can sing. He needs to come back right there on Tha Carter IV.” Please, please let this kick off some Timberlake-Bieber beef. The sweetest, most polite beef, but beef nonetheless.

Lil Wayne’s Pants Stay Up By A Miracle

Do you see something that we don’t? Wires hanging down? Suspenders? No, right? Then how the hell are Lil Wayne‘s pants staying up! Whoever was on that beach (in Miami) probably became extremely well acquainted with his boxers, whether they liked it or not. Hey we get it, don’t rag on us for going on about someone’s personal style. We’re cool with that. We’re just marveling at the mechanics of how his shorts aren’t eating sand. One hand’s busy handling his very pretty mystery lady, perhaps it’s the other hand that is securing the pocket? Nada. As seen in the gallery below, that’s not it. Weezy, you’ve foxed us all!

Lil Wayne Owes IRS $5 Million, Could Just Put His Grill In The Mail


Look, plenty of people try to hide their earnings from the Feds. Of course, 99% of them don’t have teeth made out diamonds and an internationally successful rap career. According to reports, Lil Wayne’s unpaid taxes currently total over $5 million dollars, or $5,610,034 to be exact. Reportedly Wayne owes $3,335,077.95 dating back to 2008, and $2,258,956.04 for income earned in 2009. It’s not Yeezy’s fault though. It’s probably hard to get to his W-2s when they’re buried under a pile of cash and jewel-encrusted orthodontia.

Wayne, of course, isn’t the only high roller who might have accidentally forgotten to report his earnings for years on end; Val Kilmer and Marc Anthonys’ tax woes and Wesley Snipes’ jail time are just a few examples. What, could the government not break a billion dollar bill? Given that he just got out last fall, we’re guessing that for Lil Wayne, prison time is just not an option. If you’re personally invested in helping Yeezy out of a jam, you could step up and buy his $12.9 million mansion in Miami, currently for sale. You might have to get the smoke steam-cleaned out of the rugs, but you’re guaranteed to find a ruby-studded retainer caught between the couch and the wall in at least one room.

Lil Wayne Shares Prison Tales With Someone Who’s Been There: Paris Hilton

Turns out Paris Hilton and Lil Wayne have more in common then just looking fierce in orange. In Interview Magazine, Hilton identifies with Lil Wayne’s prison time, like how good it feels to walk out of your cell and back into your fabulous mansion. “For me it was okay, because it just meant that I was alone with my thoughts,” the rapper said about his time inside, the result of a gun-related charge in 2007. “I had to do 24 nights in solitary,” Hilton commiserated, a precautionary measure taken when Hilton served time for violating probation in 2007. We imagine it was harder for Paris. Not because she pampered, but because when she’s alone with her thoughts it’s just the sound of chihuahuas barking over an sick house beat.

“Words cannot explain,” Wayne says when asked how happy he is to be free. “Yeah, I know how you feel,” Hilton agrees “It’s the best feeling in the world when you come out.” We guess we’ve never realized how much the rapper and the heiress have in common: both wear thousands of dollars worth of jewelry, both have weird voices that we suspect they drop whenever the press is out of earshot, and both know how to make a shiv out of toothbrush and a scratched CD single of “Stars Are Blind.” Good thing they’ve been seen in the same room, or else we’d have started getting suspicious.

Celebrities Flock Court-Side To Watch The NBA All-Star Game

Sunday night, the NBA All-Star game court-side at the Staples Center in L.A was studded with celebrities. Rihanna put on a raunchy show singing a medley of her hits with guest performers Drake and Kanye West. She spent the rest of the game chilling with one very happy Justin Bieber while Lenny Kravitz sat one space away. It was also Rihanna’s birthday yesterday so can we please have a chorus of Happy Birthday RiRi!

Right by the Biebs and a flame haired Rih’, were superstar couple Jay-Z and a gorgeous Beyonce, who had the sexiest pair of crystal Christian Louboutin skyscraper pumps on. They looked super-relaxed while chowing down on nachos, so screw the rumors that Jay-and-Bey are separating. They weren’t the only ones snacking while watching the game. Rick Fox and Eliza Dushku chowed down too. Ellen Pompeo and her husband Chris Ivery were watching from the crowds as well. What? No court-side tickets, guys?

Also, in one of the oddest seating arrangements ever, Lil Wayne was sitting next to Maria Shriver, who were a couple of seats away from John Legend and girlfriend-supermodel Chrissy Teigen. The Chicago Bulls mascot , Benny the Bull, got lucky, getting Teigen to sit on his lap while Legend took pictures. Looking far more serious were P Diddy and Nick Cannon who sat together. Shriver wasn’t around without her husband, in case you’re wondering. Arnold Schwarzenegger was around chatting with Gene Simmons.
