With the possible exceptions of Kendrick Lamar and Future, Drake is the most popular rapper on the planet. Every album he releases immediately breaks streaming records, and he routinely sells out arenas around the world. But the truest sign of his international stardom is the fact that a literally thirsty fan allegedly broke into his Los Angeles house to drink some water and soda from his fridge.
The Associated Press reports that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department says its deputies found 24-year-old Mesha Collins inside Drake’s home on Monday. She was allegedly discovered in a locked room, with opened water and soda bottles all around here. Nothing else was taken or disturbed in the home, according to the deputies.
Collins is being held on $100,000 bail for entering a residence with intent to steal the victim’s property.
Cereal. What started out as a Saturday morning cartoon companion has become a ubiquitous ingredient for anything that needs a pop of color, and hint of sweetness and a crunchy coating.
Sure, it’s kind of a milkshake, but there’s no ice cream in it. Just blend a basic cereal, like Corn Pops, with a bit of sugar and some cold milk and voila! Or finely grind some healthier type of cereal, like bran flakes, into a fine powder and then add that to your regular fruit smoothie or sprinkle on top of your oatmeal.
2. Make Dessert Sushi
This may sound hardcore, but it’s rather easy. Just start making some Rice Krispies treats (melt some marshmallows with butter and add cereal), then portion off some “rice” and wrap it in some type of fruit leather or Fruit Roll-Ups and top with gummy candy.
You can go either way with this recipe: add some bran flakes for a healthy breakfast, or sugar cereal for well-deserved treat. Toss in some brightly colored cereal, like Fruity Pebbles, Trix or Froot Loops, for a funfetti party in your mouth.
4. Make A “Cereal Milk” Milkshake
Take that leftover milk from your bowl of cereal and blend it with some ice cream for a cereal milk milkshake. It’s incredibly delicious and people pay big bucks for this stuff!
5. Make Cereal-Coated Frozen Bananas
This is a total kids recipe, but any adult will love these, too! Simply skewer a banana, coat in yogurt, roll in your favorite cereal, then freeze and drizzle with (or dunk into) maple syrup before eating.
6. Coat Your French Toast
Once you dip your slices of French toast into the eggwash, give them a nice roll in some Fruity Pebbles or similar cereal. Top with whipped cream and syrup and eat up! Look how easy it is to make a dessert sound “healthy” by adding the words “toast” and “cereal” to the recipe!
7. Make Tea
Yep. Froot Loops tea exists. The recipe involves pulverizing some cereal and stuffing it into a regular tea bag that’s been emptied. The bag dispenser may be the best part.
8. Make a Pie Crust
Replace graham cracker crumbs with your favorite cereal (Golden Grahams and Cinnamon Toast Crunch work great). It’s easy and it makes any pie taste better. If for no other reason, people will be trying to guess the “secret ingredient” forever.

9. Add Rice Krispies And Marshmallows To Your Brownies
The recipe involves sprinkling your brownie batter with marshmallows and then topping it with a mixture of Rice Krispies and peanut butter. You’ll never eat brownies any other way.
Celebrities are just like us: They’re humans, they (sometimes) eat food, and occasionally enjoy cannabis. That was the case Thursday during marijuana most popular day, when celebrities both known for their relationship with marijuana and those a little more underneath the cover, showed love for the leaf. Here is how your favorite celebrities enjoyed 4/20.
In 1971, five high school students in San Rafael, California,[ used the term “4:20” in connection with a plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop, based on a treasure map made by the grower. Calling themselves the Waldos, because their typical hang-out spot “was a wall outside the school”, the five students—Steve Capper, Dave Reddix, Jeffrey Noel, Larry Schwartz, and Mark Gravich —designated the Louis Pasteur statue on the grounds of San Rafael High School as their meeting place, and 4:20 pm as their meeting time.[11] The Waldos referred to this plan with the phrase “4:20 Louis”. After several failed attempts to find the crop, the group eventually shortened their phrase to “4:20”, which ultimately evolved into a code-word the teens used to refer to consuming cannabis.
Steven Hager of High Times popularized the story of the Waldos. The first High Times mention of 4:20 smoking and a 4/20 holiday appeared in May 1991 and erroneously attributed the origin of the term to a police code; this and other spurious incorrect origin stories became common. The connection to the Waldos appeared in December 1998. Hager attributed the early spread of the phrase to Grateful Dead followers —after “Waldo” Reddix became a roadie for the Grateful Dead‘s bassist, Phil Lesh —and called for 4:20 pm to be the socially accepted time of the day to consume cannabis.
Here is how your favorite celebrities enjoyed 4/20 and hopefully it give you ideas for next year!
The scandal around Denver’s furry community is absolutely wild.
Rocky Mountain Fur Con, the annual convention of furries in Colorado, was abruptly canceled. The official reason: Too many fascists.
For the unfamiliar, “furries” are generally defined as enthusiasts of anthropomorphized animals, or animals given human traits, especially in the context of cosplaying as animals. That’s a very simplified explanation of this varied, complex community.
The organizers sent out a statement dated April 10 explaining why there would be no furry convention in Denver this year. He wrote that because of “external influences of hate, intolerance, and stubborn refusal to compromise,” the 10th year of the convention was called off.
Last month, we were faced with a sudden and drastic increase in security costs amounting to more than a third of our entire existing operating budget. This cost increase stemmed directly from the very public threats of violence against one another by members of this community, as well as the negative backlash from misinformation spread about the convention, its staff and attendees. Therefore, Rocky Mountain Fur Con 2017 is officially canceled. I will no longer continue to subject my staff and our community to the lies, hate, violence and slander that was disseminated by a small, vocal minority.
While their official statement cites rising security costs, the closure follows the controversial issues surrounding CEO Kendal Emery (Kahuki Liaru), and the “Furry Raiders” group. It has also been discovered by Flayrah that the convention’s parent company’s Federal tax-exempt status, obtained in 2009, had lapsed, and it had not filed taxes for a period of seven years, while still claiming to be a registered 501(c) non-profit.
Fans of the convention were upset by the decision to cancel. Read the full breakdown of the dramatic and scandalous end of Fur Con, here.
Those who live in states that have legalized marijuana hopefully had a blast yesterday, but we also hope they took the time to remember to think of those incarcerated for marijuana.
The last few years have been great for marijuana policy reform, especially 2016. Recreational marijuana is now legal for adult recreational use in eight states, plus Washington, D.C; medical marijuana is legal in 28 states and D.C.
However, not all people were be able to celebrate 4/20 or facilitate 4/20 celebrations by selling marijuana without fear of legal consequences. According to the U.S. Sentencing Commission, last year 26.1 percent of people who suffered federal drug offenses for marijuana were sentenced to at least a five-year mandatory minimum sentence. This statistic is disturbing when one considers that according to a Gallup Poll in October of 2016, 60 percent of Americans support marijuana legalization. This is the highest level of public support for legalizing marijuana yet, but people are still incarcerated and given criminal records for marijuana drug offenses.
A criminal record because of a drug offense can haunt the person for the rest of their life—affecting housing, employment, and student loan eligibility. The criminalization of people through drug offenses does not affect everyone equally. Institutionalized racism has long relied on marijuana to incarcerate massive numbers of people especially in Black and Latinx communities. This is despite roughly equal rates of marijuana use across racial and ethnic lines.
The war on drugs and the criminalization of marijuana is also used as a tool to wage war against immigrant communities. Simple marijuana possession was the fourth most common cause of deportation for any offense in 2013 and more than 13,000 people were deported in 2012 and 2013 for marijuana possession.
California is one state that is pioneering legislation to make sure that their state laws are respected. California’s AB 1578 just passed the public safety committee and is now set to go to the full assembly floor. This legislation will protect Californians who are operating lawfully under California state laws. AB 1578 would make it so that absent a court order, local and state agencies, including regulators and law enforcement, will not assist in any federal enforcement against state authorized medical cannabis or commercial or noncommercial marijuana activity.
While you responsibly celebrate 4/20, please think of those who cannot do the same and then take action by signing this petition. Let them know that you support marijuana legalization for recreational and medicinal purposes and that the federal prohibition on marijuana must end.

Pizza doesn’t need much to taste good. Enough toppings to give it some flavor, a great crust, and a pliable thickness is all it really takes to create a pie that’s tasty enough to save for leftovers. And while pizza does taste pretty great straight from the fridge and into one’s mouth, there’s a case to be made for reconfiguring it to make it just as attractive as when you first brought it home. Here are 11 ways to make pizza great again.
1. Stick It In A Waffle Iron
Take pizza slice. Fold pizza slice. Stick pizza slice in waffle iron. Eat pizza waffle. Serious Eats has a great recipe. And the first two minutes of this Foodbeast video is some good pizza porn.
2. Make A Pizza Frittata
The perfect recipe for when you have only a couple of slices left. Just sautee some spinach, garlic and any veggies (frozen are best) you’d like to add, then add some chopped up pieces of pie, add some eggs (enough to cover the mixture), and some cheese. Bake the whole thing. Food.com has the recipe.
3. Reheat on The Stove Top
Non-stick pan, skillet, whatever you got! Reheating a slice “slow and low” is perhaps the most superior way to warm up pizza.
4. Make A Breakfast Casserole
AllRecipes to the rescue! Cut some leftover slices into squares, place them in a baking dish, and top them with a mixture of eggs, cheese, onion, butter, garlic, oregano, and salt. Sprinkle with some Parm and red pepper flakes and bake.
Plop your pizza slice face-down on medium-high heat (if using a cast-iron pan, add a little oil) for about five minutes before flipping and cooking on the other side for a couple of minutes.
6. Microwave With A Glass Of Water
If microwaving your pizza, place a cup of water alongside your slice to create the same steaming effect as cooking your pizza on the stove. Zap for about 45 seconds and enjoy some leftover pie that looks as good as the day you met.
All you need is 2 slices of leftover pizza, an egg, milk and cheese. The recipe is from those who know pizza well: college students.
8. Two Words: Pizza Croutons
They’re super simple to make and all you need is two slices. The end result is like mini grilled cheese sandwiches. Rachael Ray has a recipe that comes with roasted tomato soup.
9. Put An Egg On It
When you figure out your method of reheating, poach or fry an egg and place it atop your slice for an impressive looking brunch.
Grab that leftover pizza, reheat it, cut into cheese stick length chunks, place on a pan, cookie sheet or even in loaf pans, add cheese (mozzarella is a good choice), add some slices of pepperoni (optional), cook at 400-degrees for about 8-10 minutes or until everything is gooey. Eat. This is almost like eating a plate of poutine.
So chances are you’ll never have to fight a shark. Whether you’re splashing close to shore during your Spring Break vacations or scuba-diving off-shore, it’s very unlikely that you’ll find yourself in a shark fight.
If you do, however, former member of SEAL Team Six and trained survival expert Clint Emerson has some tips for you. As he explains in this Business Insider video, sharks will want to swim below you then strike upwards. As throwing punches in the water move in “slow motion,” as Emerson says, you still have some options. Your movement will be highly decreased so any commotion you cause will likely do more harm than good, drawing the shark’s interest.
To defend yourself, you’ll want to target the shark’s eyes, squeezing your thumbs into its sockets, or dig deep into the shark’s gills, literally trying to rip them out. Anything you have on you, from flippers to surfboard, use as a weapon.
Emerson also did another video for Business Insider describing how to defend yourself if you find yourself in a dog fight. Yes, an actual dog fight.
He suggests wrapping your shirt or jacket around vital areas of your body to reduce possible damage to yourself. Emerson warns that you only want to bear the outer part of your forearm, or else you expose some major arteries. You’ll want to target the dog’s snout, as it’s a large target and you’ll likely be under serious stress in the moment. If you’re able to strike underneath the dogs arms, it’s a highly sensitive area for the animal.
You’re eight years old, you’ve just watched several hours of driving instruction videos on YouTube, and you’ve got your parents’ car keys. What do you do? McDonald’s!
Strap your kid sister into the passenger seat and motor it to the nearest McDonald’s drive-thru, duh.
That’s what two children in East Palestine, Ohio, did with their Sunday evening. While their parents were sleeping, the pair snuck out and stole their car, driving it to the Mickey D’s for cheeseburgers.
The boy just wanted to buy a cheeseburger at the Market Street restaurant, according to police. “He looked up videos on YouTube on how to drive,” said officer Koehler, who adds that witnesses say the boy followed the rules of the road, stopping for lights and keeping within speed limits.
Arrests and citations for driving under the influence of marijuana in Colorado were down 33.2 percent in the first three months of 2017 compared to the same time period last year, the Denver Postreports.
According to the Colorado State Patrol, 155 people were cited for marijuana-use-only impairment while driving from January to March of 2017; in comparison, 232 were cited from January to March of 2016. Fifty people were cited for alcohol and marijuana use over the same time period in 2017, compared with 69 from last year.
But Colorado officials remain concerned about the 55 percent of Colorado marijuana users who said in a survey that they believe it’s safe to drive while high. Fifty percent of the people surveyed who used marijuana in the past 30 days also said they’d driven while buzzed.
“We’re still troubled by fact that marijuana users are still telling us they routinely drive high,” Colorado Department of Transportation spokesman Sam Cole told the Post. “We’re pleased with the awareness, but we’re not so pleased with the behaviors that are actually happening.”
The Colorado State Patrol also seemed hesitant to celebrate the decrease. “Are the citations going down? Yeah, but is the number of people using marijuana and then driving going down? I don’t know how to quantify that,” Nate Reid, a CSP spokesman, told the Post. “This is just after the officer stop. This isn’t post-conviction or after they may have been arrested.”
“I read it and basically the only nice thing she had to say was that I was great socially at a party one time …. Everything she says is all made up. Why does everything have to be that Kris is such a bitch and an a–hole?”
In an excerpt of the forthcoming book released on Wednesday, Caitlyn, 67, claims of the longtime marriage, “I tell Kris about my gender issues before I make love to her. This will always be a subject of dispute between us. She insists that she was taken by surprise by my ultimate transition to Caitlyn, which obviously means in her mind that she did not know enough.”
“I was curious and said, ‘What the hell is going on?’ She said, ‘You just would never understand,’” the reality matriarch recalled. “And then, all through the book, ‘Kris knew. Kris knew before I even made love to her.’ I’m like, ‘What?’”
Kris also stewed, “I’ve never been so angry and disappointed in somebody in my whole life.”
Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian Have A Flirty Date Night
Reconciliation rumors are swirling after the Rob & Chyna stars were seen enjoying flirty date night together on Wednesday night (Apr. 19, 2017).
Leaving baby Dream at home, the parents — who are currently living together despite splitting earlier this year — went for a dinner-for-two at the newly opened TAO in Hollywood. Rocking a purple wig, Chyna wore white leggings and a matching top with a denim jacket, while Kardashian kept things casual in a green goodie, dark bottoms, and a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball cap.
In a Snapchat video shared by Chyna, her former fiancé was seen with his hand on her lap. Reciprocating the affections, the 28-year-old model placed her hand over his.
