ByStarcasm Staff

Taylor Swift has made it her thing to write about the men she’s dated, and the people in her life, in her confessional songs; even going as far as to leave clues to who they are about in the liner notes of her CDs (There’s a good ploy to keep getting people to buy traditional CDs Taylor!)

PHOTO Kim Kardashian in a see-thru leopard Halloween costume

ByStarcasm Staff

It’s that time of year again! Nothing says Halloween like Kim Kardashian in a ridiculously over-the-top sexy costume, and that’s exactly what we got earlier today when Kim shared this photo of herself in a form-fitting leopard costume along with the caption, “Rawwwr!!! Halloween Costume shopping.” Kim Kardashian is no stranger to catsuits, having worn a leopard bodysuit for Halloween in 2010, but this one is a bit unique because it has a sheer front panel which will remind everyone that Kim has an awful lot of T to go with her awful lot of A! (Actually, the spelling on that should be “aweful.”) PLUS! See our humble recommendation for Kim’s costume this year!

Shark Tank: How did Mark Cuban make his money?

ByRuby Turpin

The opening sequence of Shark Tank gives just a little information about each of the venture capitalists that stand between the show’s hopeful entrepreneurs and the big time.
