Donna Summer Died At Age 63

5 time Grammy winner, queen of disco, Donna Summer, passed away at the age of 63 on May 17th. The Boston-born singer has always been considered one of the biggest influences in the disco era of the late 70's and paved the way for the future dance-oriented female singers of later generations. Donna Summer embodied the label of 'diva' without presenting as one, and continued to record dance and R&B music for decades.

Justin Bieber Slimed.... Toxic Ingestion

Justin Bieber was one of the several celebrities 'slimed' at the annual Kid's Choice Awards this past weekend. Traditionally, slime flows quite freely at the awards show, and celebrities that are receiving the green dumping are often in on the joke and prepared for it. But in this case, Bieber forgot the "must remember rule" of getting slimed - do not open your mouth when the slime pours. Unfortunately for Bieber, he forgot this rule and had his mouth opened when slimed. The result was the ingestion of the toxic slime that is known for impacting vocal chords and loss of hair, as well as a temporary reduction in height and personality. No word on whether or not the performer will file a lawsuit against the person in charge of dumping the slime (identified as a disgruntled Nickelodeon worker who was recently demoted from usher to slime dumper).
