American Pickers’ Danielle Colby reveals she was sexually molested as a child, in abusive relationships as an adult

ByAsa Hawks

Just after announcing she was launching the first annual Iowa Burlesque Festival, American Pickers star Danielle Colby (who dances burlesque under the name Dannie Diesel) responded to criticisms received online with a lengthy heartfelt response explaining why she finds burlesque dancing beautiful and empowering. Although she obviously has no problems “shaking her sugar” on stage, Danielle doesn’t usually like to share details about her personal life, but her reservations seem to go out the window as talks openly about her Jehovah’s Witnesses upbringing, being sexually molested as a child (along with her sister), and being in abusive relationships as an adult.

PHOTO Farrah Abraham gets ‘MOM’ tattoo in honor of herself

ByAsa Hawks

It’s TGIF y’all! And by TGIF of course I mean “Thank God I’m Farrah,” which appears to be the message of Farrah Abraham’s new tattoo. The former Teen Mom showed off her new ankle ink (inkle?) yesterday, revealing a colorful floral background with a bright red heart, over top of which is a banner that reads “MOM.” Now, the “MOM” tattoo is perhaps the most common of all tattoos, but leave it to Farrah to make it a rare oddity by putting it in a rather unexpected self-centered context.

Why don’t the people on Snake Salvation die when they’re bitten by snakes?

ByStarcasm Staff

NatGeo’s Snake Salvation is reality show that’s hard to turn away from. It follows the leaders of two churches in the south who abide by the signs listed in March 16:17-18. As well as laying on hands of the sick and casting out demons, the verses also say that if you believe in Jesus, you can drink poison and not get hurt, and handle serpents and not be harmed. On the show three people have been bitten and survived so far. Is their recovery the work of God, or are the snakes they’re handling dangerous, but not necessarily deadly?

Sir Anthony Hopkins to Bryan Cranston: “Best acting I have seen – ever.”

ByDarren O

Sir Anthony Hopkins is widely considered one of the greatest actors in cinematic history. In a 2005 poll, Hopkins was selected as the greatest British actor of all time. If you want to get more modern, Hopkins comes in at #8 on IMDB’s list of the greatest 100 actors of all time from anywhere. What I’m trying to say is that Hopkins’ credentials are pretty top-notch so when he shares an opinion about the profession of acting people tend to listen. In a remarkable fan letter from Hopkins to Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston, the living legend exalted the latter’s performance as Walter White using a heaping, helping load of superlatives that you’ve got to read to believe.
