Meet Robert. He's 23, lives in the small town of Oakland, Tenn., and loves to eat plastic bags. Especially newspaper bags.
"I start off my day by eating a whole bag," he tells us. "The first taste of that plastic in the morning is the best part of my day."
Robert goes on to explain that each color of plastic bag has its own taste and texture. Blue bags are his favorite because they're "chewy," they're "malleable," and most importantly, they're "just delicious."
One Broncos fan who was so confident his team was going to win the Super Bowl went out and got a "XLVIII Champs" tattoo featuring the NFL team's logo. This man now has a mistake that will follow him for the rest of his life, which seems fitting considering how badly the Broncos lost the big game.

Mariah Carey sizzles even when she’s not trying. The diva shared a hot photo of herself wearing a gold-colored bikini this week, on what she calls a “bad hair day.”
Posted up against a railing, the songstress flaunts her figure in a halter top paired with a silky wrap around her waist.
“Working in my most favorite environment clearly having a bad hair day.. Haaaaaa,” Mimi captioned the photo. The bikini seems to be a favorite outfit for the 43-year-old. Late last year, she posed in a red bathing suit while vacationing in Aspen. “Warming up for the hottub moments!” she shared on Instagram, displaying a big grin.
The mother of two, whose 14th album, ‘The Art of Letting Go,’ is set for release this year, has become known for her barely-there outfits, often finding herself on the so-called “worst dressed” lists.
Hey, if you got it, flaunt it.

Willie the Kid is back to achieve absolute greatness with his latest single, ‘Avalon.’ The track features Long Island rhymer Roc Marciano and a familiar sample.
Produced by Wu-Tang Clan affiliate Bronze Nazareth, the song uses David McCallum’s 1967’s orchestral tune ‘The Edge,’ which Dr. Dre famously sampled on ‘The Next Episode’ from ‘The Chronic 2001′ album. The throwback sound provides enough soul and warmth for Willie the Kid and Marcberg to spit their cold-blooded rhymes.
“Lawfully wedded to this paper that I’m making / Banking / I’m brave enough to be creative / But I accumulate like a native / Trying to blend with the cadence / Abide by the rules, fuck the latest trend,” raps Willie the Kid.
Then Marciano comes through and relays his bullet-riddled verse, spitting, “The watch is Swiss / These rhymes these are hieroglyphs / Glide from the cliff / It’s rare I fire and miss / I usually hit the bull’s eyeris.”
Yes, there’s lots of rappity rapping going on here but it’s creative enough to hold your attention for three minutes.
Willie the Kid is set to release his new project ‘The Living Daylights’ on Feb. 11. The collection boasts guest features from Sean Price, Young Dirty Bastard, Sun God, Boldy James, Sha Stimuli and others. You can pre-order the album on iTunes.
The ‘Living Daylights’ Tracklist:
1. ‘Overture’
2. ‘Avalon’ (Featuring Roc Marciano)

Drake continues to get deeper in the style game and this time, he’s heading towards high fashion. The rapper is partnering with upscale French retailer Colette for a new October’s Very Own (OVO) collaboration.
The collection arrives Feb. 17 according to an official flyer announcing the partnership. The ‘Nothing Was the Same’ creator will stop by Colette’s store in Paris to promote the new clothing on Feb. 24, which is incidentally right before Paris Fashion Week begins.
This release comes on the heels of several other fashion launches from Drake. The Toronto native recently announced his signature OVO Jordan Brand shoe line with Nike — a sample of the sneaker sold for $100,000 on eBay. He’s also held pop-up shops in cities like New York to sell gear around his ‘Nothing Was the Same’ album.
The Twitterverse ignited after Joe Namath took to the field at Super Bowl XLVIII rocking a serious fur coat. As the football great stepped out for the coin toss, his over-the-top style became an instant trending topic. Memes began popping up left and right good naturedly ribbing Namath and calling him an old school pimp. Plenty of folks weighed in with Tweets as well.
Peep a few of the memes and tweets up top.

Miguel‘s girl is easy to please. She’s looking for “someone real” and “someone true” on his new song ‘Simplethings,’ which rests on the new soundtrack for the HBO series ‘Girls.’
‘Simplethings,’ while flexing some heavy, but steady, distorted guitars, finds the object of Miguel’s affection longing for exactly that — the simple things. “I don’t want a model / I don’t want a movie star / I want you to win my heart,” he sings of what she wants in her man.
You’ll also find out that the simple things consist of someone to smoke herb with. “Smoke with me, baby,” Miguel belts out.
The singer is currently at work on the follow-up to the critically acclaimed album ‘Kaleidoscope Dream.’ Jessie Ware and J. Cole have reported already collaborated with the Grammy award-winning artist for the project.

This Valentine’s Day, why not dine like Beyonce and Jay Z? A New York restaurant is offering a menu inspired by the power couple‘s music and lifestyle.
Brucie, an Italian restaurant in Brooklyn, is celebrating V-Day with a themed menu that includes such dishes as Blue Ivy, which includes smoked blue potatoes, chiriboga blue cheese, trout roe and watercress ($16). A meal named after Bey and Jay’s daughter? Now that’s clout.
There’s also Oysters Rocafella ($16) — inspired by Hov’s former record label — and a dish that comes from a line in Beyonce’s popular song ‘Drunk in Love,’ Surf Board, a mix of deviled bone marrow, root vegetables and bone broth bathtub.
Make sure to try the pastas like I am Pasta Fierce, a pappardelle with a spicy puttanesca sauce ($24), and Jay-Ziti ($19).
Check out the full menu below and make reservations to eat in the spirit of Beyonce and Jay Z here.
Weaves can look fantastic if they're attached by somebody who knows what the hell they're doing, but all too often we see ladies out there looking like they attached the hair themselves while standing in a dark closet with one hand tied behind their backs. In other cases, the weave is just so outrageous and over-the-top that you gotta wonder what the owner was thinking.
As testament to all the hideous weaves out there, we've gathered a few that really stand out for their advanced level of struggle.
Check 'em out up top.

In this throwback clip from Rugged Entertainment's Peter Spirer, Biggie recalls his experiences at the Jack The Rapper Music Convention, and says his primary motivation to attend was to meet women. However, the chance to listen to all kinds of new unreleased hip hop was a big plus as well.
"When I first went to Jack The Rapper it was just a place where we could see a whole bunch of b*tches and sh*t," the Brooklyn rapper admitted before adding, "You get to hear a lot of music before it come out...n**gas just trying to pump their sh*t, it's cool."
Biggie feels the convention can be a great opportunity for up-and-comers to get their music heard as long as they go about it the right way and don't come at the established artists too aggressively.
Chris Brown may be in serious trouble after pics surfaced of the singer allegedly hanging out at a Super Bowl party thrown by good friend Trey Songz. Breezy has only left his court-ordered rehab once before back in December after receiving permission to attend an Xmas Toy Drive with boo Karrueche Tran.
MStarz reports there's a 15-second Instagram video showing Brown partying with Trey Songz. The video shows Trey and his buddies partying in L.A. for the Super Bowl and Brown can be seen.
The Virginia-born singer's rehab stint isn't over until February 19, so it's not apparant as to why he would be at a Super Bowl party and away from the rehab campus.
Whle the video and most of the pics have since been deleted, you can see a couple up top.

T-Pain addresses a previous comparison he made concerning Ray J after seeing his sex tape with Kim Kardashian, which led into a conversation about people being homophobic. The "Up Down" rapper believes that "if you aren't gay, then gay things shouldn't bother you."
The conversation then turns to T-Pain's gay assistant, which the rapper says has made other people uncomfortable to approach him in the club or any time they are together. He believes that there is so much homophobia in hip-hop that it stops people from working with talented artists like Frank Ocean, which T-Pain says is "terrible, because they need Frank Ocean on the song." The Florida native adds that he doesn't work with anyone who's homophobic in the business and who cut others off over the way they want to live their lives.
Action Bronson is a likable rapper with a rotund figure. But make no mistake: The man will get physical if someone approaches his performance space the wrong way, even if that someone is part of security.
The Queens, N.Y., native was onstage rapping ‘Amadu Diablo’ in Portland, Ore., and decided to close the song by sparking up a joint. Marijuana still isn’t legal in the city, so a security guard decided to take action. He did go a bit overboard by putting his hands around Action Bronson’s neck, however.
Bronson thought so too, and retaliated by repeatedly shoving the guard to the ground as the show ended. The rapper’s rebellion was of course met with cheers from the crowd.
It was all in a night’s fun, according to Bronson.
Bronsolino also famously body-slammed two audience members on different occasions when they decided to storm the stage uninvited. He also put another audience member on timeout for throwing a cigarette at him. So basically, Bronson will turn a performance stage into a WWE ring if he’s crossed.
Wu-Tang Clan member Raekwon once described New Balance sneakers as “vehicles for your feet.” Although the brand is often associated with streetwear (thanks to collaborations with Ronnie Fieg to Stussy), the Massachsetts-based company also makes athletic shoes for runners. In a couple of days, New Balance will release their Blue Tab collection for Spring/Summer 2014.
The pack features the M890v3, the MR1400 and the MRC1600 sneaker models, which were designed for active runners. All of them come in an all-black silhouette with the REVlite foam technology that is 30 percent lighter than traditional running shoe foams. There’s also 3M detailing on the kicks for night time/early morning protection on the road.
All of the pairs are complemented with the “Blue Tab” signature that acknowledges New Balance’s commitment to style, performance and functionality.
You can buy the full collection at various retailers like U.K. sneaker webstore size? on Feb. 7. Check out the photos below.

Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah was automatically ejected in the third quarter after picking up his second technical foul of the game, and he proceeded to snap on the three referees nearby, individually pointing at each and screaming "F**k you!" before being escorted off the floor Monday night.
Noah apologized after the 99-70 loss to Sacramento, the Kings' first win in eight games.

Drake has shown his father Dennis love by getting his mug permanently tattooed onto his body. The "Worst Behavior" rapper shared a photo of his new ink on Instagram with the caption, "mini portrait of my father."
But unfortunately for Drake, not everyone is feeling the love. Twitter users began clowning the rapper for the tattoo. Many were in particular judgmental of the size of the tattoo, with one user writing "Drake tattoo the size of a birthmark and he wanna Instagram it smh."
