Transgender Woman Drops $99,000 to Look Like Blow-Up Sex Doll

A massage therapist from Minneapolis has spent an estimated $99,000 on platic surgery in an effort to look as fake as possible.

"I love to look plastic -- most people hate me for my extreme appearance but it fuels me to get more work done," said 38-year-old Katella Dash, according to the Mirror. "I think I do have an obsession with plastic surgery, but being over the top and extreme feels normal to me. The look I am going for is a walking blow-up sex doll -- it's about as fake a person as you can be."

Dash, who was born male, started her transformation at age 23 when she underwent gender reassignment surgery in Thailand.

The plastic surgery enthusiast currently has H breasts, but her goal is a massive size M.

"Right now, the only thing stop-ping me going to a size L or M is that no surgeons in the U.S. are willing to operate on me," she said, according to the Daily Mail. "I have gone abroad for surgery before so I might have to do it again."

Sneakerfreaker.com

One sure fire way to give an Air Jordan silhouette an iron clad seal of sneakerhead approval is by bestowing it with a “Wolf Grey” colorway and the latest to join the club is the Air Jordan 3.

The sneakers smooth and tumbled leather upper gets doused in the neutral tone which makes the black accents feel even more lush than usual. The real kicker comes in the form of black elephant print paneling with metallic silver laying in the cracks of the material. Overall this is one of the more stunning uses of the “Wolf Grey” colorway that we have seen in a while.

These are going to have the streets on smash when they drop but unfortunately Nike doesn’t have a release date on the books yet for the model. While we wait however peruse the gallery and let us know if you are as excited about the Air Jordan 3 “Wolf Grey” as we are.

Man Learns That Taunting Cops w/ Weed on Instagram Is Bad Idea

A 30-year-old South Carolina man discovered the hard way that flipping off the local sheriff while holding a blunt and then posting the pic to Instagram may not be a wise decision.

Jeremy Clayton kicked off a fateful chain of events after posting a photo on the site, which appears to show a hand holding a half-smoked joint and flipping off an online photo of Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott.

A concerned citizen sent the photo to Sheriff Lott, who then put his Drug Suppression Team on the case.

Undercover deputies successfully purchased marijuana from Clayton on three separate occasions. When police busted down Clayton's door, they arrested him and 24-year-old Margaret Rogers.

Clayton was charged with distribution of marijuana and possession with intent to distribute, and Rogers was charged with possession.

Clayton makes no secret about his love of herb. His Instagram and Facebook pages are loaded with pics of him smoking weed and showing it off for the camera.

You can check out the pic that put Clayton on the sheriff's radar up top.

Raf Simons x adidas Originals Stan Smith Pack

Sneakerfreaker.com

Belgian designer Raf Simons brings his high fashion sensibilities to a well loved classic with this spin on the popular adidas Originals Stan Smith.

For this collaboration the pair gets dressed in an interesting textured leather upper that foregoes laces in favor of two velcro straps. The sneaker comes in either black or off white and both pairs play a bold racing stripe that runs from tongue to toe while the heel tab hots pinstripes with the same complimenting colors.

These are already on shelves at very select adidas Originals retailers so finding them may be a bit tricky if you aren’t in a major metropolitan area. Thankfully the Internet brings far flung stores that do carry them like No. 74 Berlin a mere mouse click away.

Charlie Wilson Explains Why He Tells Kanye West to 'Sit Down and Be Quiet' [VIDEO]

Most people can’t tell Kanye West nothing, unless they’re Charlie Wilson. The legendary singer and ‘Bound 2′ collaborator says that he doesn’t stroke the fiery rapper’s ego and when necessary, sometimes even tells him to “sit down and be quiet.”

“When he does something wrong, I’m the first one to tell him that he’s wrong, ‘Sit down and be quiet,’” Wilson shared in an interview with Hip Hollywood. “I’m not patting him on his back… I don’t care if you don’t like it or not.”

The crooner didn’t mince words when it comes to the controversial Mr. West and kept it 100 on how he deals with the MC’s infamous ego. “I don’t embrace some of the things that he does, and some of the stuff he does, I do embrace, which is music. He’s good at that. Sometimes it gets a little out of hand, and sometimes he just says, ‘I’m gonna do this kind of music just to inspire people.’ OK then say that.”

Wilson and West joined forces for ‘Bound 2′ last year, a song featured on the rhymer’s ‘Yeezus’ album.

Chris Brown Chills With Lil Wayne, Tyga in 'Loyal' Video

In the fun clip, directed by Brown himself, the singer hangs out with his day-one homies (aka “his true friends”) at Universal City Walk. Fellow R&B buddies who appear in the clip include Trey Songz, Usher and Ty Dolla $ign, who co-wrote the song.

But Tyga out-stunts them all as he appears in the video with a pet baby tiger on a leash.

Now that Brown is in jail, his oft-delayed album maybe get postponed again. But currently, the embattled singer’s LP, ‘X,’ is due to hit stores on May 5.

23 Year Old Catfished Teen Boys, May be Pregnant by 13 Year Old (@azfamily)

23 Year Old Anna Hernandez is accused of lying about her age online in an attempt to seduce teenage boys.

According to police, Hernandez met a 13 year old boy at Desert Sky Mall in Phoenix, AZ and later told him on Facebook that she was 14 years old. A few days after that, the two had sex and carried on a 6 month relationship.

In February, that boy's mother contacted police, saying she had discovered Hernandez's real age. The mother claims Hernandez gave her son an STD and admitted to it when confronted. Hernandez then revealed to the mother that she was pregnant, though that has yet to be confirmed. According to AZ Family, she now faces charges of sexual conduct with a minor, child molestation, unlawful age misrepresentation, and an adult posing as a minor for a sexual conduct.

Police say she has been masquerading as a 15 year old to at least 10 teenage boys online, and believe there is at least one more under age victim. According to a court document, Hernandez showed no remorse when talking to police about the allegations. Police say she admitted to preferring younger boys rather than men her own age but did not explain why.
