Drake thrashes Rolling Stone magazine

Drake a few days ago thrashed Rolling Stone magazine for replacing him on its cover with actor Philip Seymour Hoffman who recently passed away from a drug overdose. The mag. was supposed to use Drake for its cover but Philip passed away and they changed the cover the last minute.
As soon as the issue hit the stands, a disappointed Drake lashed out on Twitter. He also denied calling Bars on Kanye's album Yeezus 'questionable'.



 

After his rants, he deleted his tweets and apologized for his outburst. See his statement below...

I completely support and agree with Rolling Stone replacing me on the cover with the legendary Philip Seymour Hoffman. He is one of the most incredible actors of our time and a man that deserves to be immortalized by this publication."
"My frustration stemmed from the way it was executed. The circumstances at hand are completely justifiable (on the magazine’s behalf), but I was not able to salvage my story or my photos and that was devastating. They ran the issue without giving me a choice to be in it or not. I would have waited until it was my time because I understand the magnitude of the cover they chose but I just wasn't given that option and that made me feel violated. I apologize to anybody who took my initial comments out of context because in no way would I ever want to offend the Hoffman family or see myself as bigger than that moment."

World's Most Inked Couplles, With More Than Three-Quarters Of Their Bodies Covered

Comfortable in their own skin: The couple say they don't care what other people think about them
He has 90 per cent of his body covered in tattoos. She a mere 65 per cent.
And with some 50 piercings between them, it's no surprise Gabriela and Victor Peralta are a match made in heaven.
The Argentinian lovebirds are the world's most modified couple with a total of 77 bodily alterations that also include four microdermals, 11 body implants, five dental implants, four ear expanders, two ear bolts and one forked tongue.
And they hold the official Guinness World Record for the most modified married couple to prove it.
Gabriela, 42, and Victor, 43, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, have been together for 13 years and say they are 'perfect' for each other.
Victor said: 'We spent Valentine's Day together, we prepared a meal together and I was able to share the day with my Queen, Gaby.
'We met 18 years ago, we are perfect for each other and we love each other very much.We both have lots of tattoos and modifications and we continue to get them - we don't really care what other people think.'
Victor got his first tattoo at the age of 13, the word 'f***' across his fingers, and Gabriela's was a red rose on her chest which has since been covered up.
He has been a professional piercer for 20 years and Gabriela had been a piercer and body modifier for six years.
 Tat's the way we like it: The couple also have a total of 77 bodily alterations including 50 piercings, four microdermals, 11 body implants, five dental implants, four ear expanders, two ear bolts and one forked tongue
 Lifelong passion: Victor got his first tattoo at the age of 13, the word 'f***' across his fingers, while Gabriela's was a red rose on her chest which has since been covered up Comfortable in their own skin: The couple say they don't care what other people think about them

Bruce Jenner Quitting keeping up with the kardashians Show

0212-bruce-jenner-x-kardashians
Bruce Jenner wants NOTHING to do with Hollywood, and that includes his own reality show ... TMZ has learned.
Sources connected to both the Kardashian family and the production tell TMZ ... Bruce will NOT come back for another season of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" if the network picks it up.  The family is currently shooting the last installment of the series ... and even if it gets renewed we're told Bruce wants out.
Bruce now reluctantly takes part in the show ... but only when it's absolutely necessary.  Whenever possible he'll shoot his scenes in Malibu -- where he now lives.
We're told Bruce has a clear vision of his life as soon as the season ends ... golfing, spending time with his kids -- off camera -- flying helicopters and riding motorcycles.  
Our sources say his kids have become a real priority -- Bruce wants to cement the relationship with his sons that he never had when they were growing up.  The relationship is much better than it was but he wants to continue to strengthen it.
And finally ... Malibu is and will continue to be home base.  Calabasas and Hollywood are part of his past life.
