How many kids and baby mamas does Lil Wayne have?

On Katie this week Lil Wayne, an honor roll student AND high school dropout, gave an order to his fans, AND his children to finish school, even though he doesn’t regret dropping out himself. “I mean, kids, please finish high school. And all my kids, you are finishing high school!” he admonished.

Most kids don’t end up with a lucrative recording contract. It occasionally makes sense for children to drop out of school, but only like 0.000000001% of a time. Wayne revealed that it was his mother who actually suggested that he quit school and get his GED after she found out he was carrying a gun in his backpack for protection.

But back to the kids comment. Just how many children does Lil Wayne have, and who are the babies’ mothers?

Re-homing trend: Parents drop off adopted children with new parents they find online

Reuters and NBC News are investigating a disturbing trend: American parents search online for new parents for the children they adopted from other countries. When some parents clash with the new child from another culture they’ve brought to live with them, they put up “advertisements” for the children online for prospective parents to take them off their hands. Often the ads are brutally honest, describing the worst attributes of the children, or saying that they “hate” them. As it turns out, the type of people looking to take in unwanted children in an unvetted process outside the regulated system, usually don’t have the children’s best interests at heart. But as long as the right document is drawn up and signed, it’s legal, and not considered child trafficking because no money is exchanged.

VIDEO: Lady Gaga’s Wizard of Oz inspired “Applause” performance on GMA features Perez Hilton?

Lady Gaga performed a Wizard of Oz take on her “Applause” single today on GMA, and it was super cute. I’ve been afraid that Gaga’s been taking herself too seriously with ARTPOP, but this performance was so adorable, I’m back on board.

Something odd happened, though. She appears to have used a Perez Hilton look-a-like as her cowardly lion.

Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” was about chasing after ex-boyfriend Luc Carl

“Paparazzi” is one of my favorite Lady Gaga songs, and a small part of why of I like it (I mostly just like it because it’s a fun song) is because of it’s comment on fame, love, and paparazzi and tabloid culture. It could be argued that it’s from the point of view of the paparazzi, or the star, or a that it switches at some point, but for me it always seems to almost be both at the same time. Of course, all of that is in the song, but it turns out the true heart of the song, the true inspiration is Lady Gaga’s unrequited love for ex-boyfriend Luc Carl.

A ‘Reality Bites’ TV show is happening!

When I heard there was a Reality Bites TV Show in the works, I felt giddy, but I quickly realized I would only enjoy this if it starred Winona Ryder, Janeane Garofalo and Ethan Hawke. That’s impossible because the show’s concept is still about recent graduates, but recent graduates these days are about 40, so maybe it can still happen.
