:: Nate Lyless commented on Rih’s #R8 era on Rihanna’s Free Freddie Gray Concert Was Blocked By Baltimore Police: “I don’t know what is exactly going on with her, the thing is Kanye has totally brainwashed since the beginning of this yet-not-existent era and i still don’t know if she is gonna be back properly”

:: Luke Palm is over Tidal on Madonna Still Thinks Tidal Is Going To Happen: “‘… the general view that Tidal is just a money-making scheme to further line the pockets of multi-millionaires.’ Absolutely true, and now with Apple Music, it’s bye bye Miss American Pie to Tidal. Geez, Tidal, just drop the sh**…”

:: Jay commented on Zayn‘s new career move on Zayn Malik Is Now Signed To RCA Records: “His tweets seem very disrespectful towards One Direction. Kind of biting the hand that feeds you type of thing.

Yep.”

:: Lastly, DavidSask wrapped with this gem on Louis Tomlinson Ripped Off Liam Payne’s Shirt At One Direction Concert In Minneapolis: Watch: “Amping up the gay fan fic further as always!”
