ByAsa Hawks

Miley Cyrus is still all everyone is talking (and meme-ing about) after her memorable performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards during which she basically filmed a live sex tape with Robin Thicke and a foam hand while over-sized teddy bears watched on.

PHOTO Gold Rush’s Todd Hoffman without a beard

ByAsa Hawks

Before the bearded Robertson men of Duck Dynasty took the world (and Walmarts) by storm, there was another batch of bushy-mugged reality show relatives whose chinny-chin-chins never saw the light of day — Jack and Todd Hoffman of Discovery’s Gold Rush and Gold Rush South America. You can see Jack Hoffman without his Santa worthy white beard thanks to photos of him as a young man in the military, but Todd is a completely different story — his Facebook-Page-inspiring goatee is so inexorably linked to Todd’s visage some have pondered if perhaps he wasn’t born with it. It’s time to rest your weary imagination, folks! Thanks to the magic of Photoshop, we have the world’s first picture of Todd with nothing more than a five o’clock shadow adorning his chin!

Rapper 2 Chainz and ten others were arrested early this morning after their tour bus was stopped by police in Oklahoma City right around midnight for a busted tail light.
