Neverland Ranch For Sale!

The "humble abode" of Mr. Michael Jackson is now for sale.

After the massive legal woes surrounding the ranch, Jackson vowed never to live at Neverland again. He kept that promise.

TMZ is reporting that a third party took ownership of the ranch in exchange for an undisclosed sum that Michael used to pay other debts. That party is now selling to the tune of $100 million. The 2700 acre property is back to its original name, Sycamore Valley Ranch.

Check out some of the footage from the 5 minute sales video here: 

Sycamore Valley Ranch is the ultimate ranch retreat and gated estate of approx. 2,698 acres located 5 miles north of the town of Los Olivos. The main residence of approximately 12,598 sq.ft. offers 6 bedrooms, including a large first floor master suite with a private loft and two master baths.

Lastly; I am very sad to report that the amusement park that once rested on the property is no more.

Kanye vs. Taylor. Round...Who Knows??

Kanye West

Kanye West

Kanye's not finished with Taylor yet. 

When the rapper took the stage yesterday at 1Oak- favorite club of his in-laws- he went IN on Ms. Swift and a few others. Kanye ranted, "She not cool no more. She had two seconds to be cool, and she f----d it up."

The latest beef with T. Swift and Kanye stems from some of the lyrics from his new album, The Life of Pablo. On the song "Famous", Kanye refers to Swift with lines like "I made that bitch famous." 

Kanye claims that he discussed the lines with Taylor and received her approval before the album was released...a fact the singer vehemently denies.

Kanye also made some questionable comments about Beck, Macklemore and Amber Rose (no surprise there, right?)

Some believe this latest round of Kanye rants it leading towards a special release of his album, or a tour...

Some (cough cough, me) believe Mr. West should just. Shut. Up.

The Feds Want to Read Your Text Messages

There has been a great deal of discussion around the Fed's request that Apple help them "hack" one of the San Bernardino terrorist's phone. Turns out, that's not the only one they want into.

A letter filed by a lawyer representing Apple, states that a number of judges in up to 15 cases have ordered the company to help the government unlock iPhones or iPads. None of the cases involve terrorism. Apple claims that they have not yet complied.

FBI Director James Comey stated, " We simply want the chance, with a search warrant, to try to guess the terrorist's passcode without the phone essentially self-destructing and without it taking  a decade to guess correctly. That's it."

Apple CEO Tim Cook counters, "Once created, the technique could be used over and over again, on any number of devices."

This battle speaks to the larger controversy surrounding the All Writs Act.

Egypt Sentences 3-Year-Old to LIFE

Ahmed Mansour Qurani Sharara

Ahmed Mansour Qurani Sharara

An Egyptian court sentenced a young man to life on four counts of murder, eight counts of attempted murder and other miscellaneous charges (like vandalism) last week. The accused is 3-4 years old.

Ahmed Mansour Qurani Sharara was sentenced with 115 others for his "involvement" in violent protest back in 2014. The protest was to support fallen President, Mohammed Morsi.

You're probably thinking there was a glitch in the system, right? Nope. The authorities were well aware of Sharara's age. In fact, they attempted to arrest him two years ago when he was still a baby. They arrested his father instead.

Apparently there was a mixup with a 16-year-old of the same name.

While father and son are both currently free, and officials have promised that the toddler will remain so...there seems to be a bigger problem here. Human Rights groups and the United Nations have both denounced Egypt's judicial system.

Finally. The big reveal!

We've all been waiting on pins and needles for a glimpse of more than just his fingers...and here it is! Mama Kim K posted the above photo of Saint West-released first on her app- today, Monday February 22nd.

The Queen of social media chose today to pay homage to someone close to her heart. Today is her deceased father's birthday. Robert Kardashian would have been 72 today. Her son is almost three months old.

Kim captioned the photo with, "Today is my dad's birthday. I know there's nothing more in the world he would have wanted than to meet his grandchildren. So I wanted to share this pic of Saint with you all."

Adorable.

Eli Explains that Sour Face.

Eli Manning's face just as his brother clinches the win.

It was the face seen round the world...

The face that inspired a thousand memes...

The face that did not look happy as his brother sealed the deal on his Super Bowl 50 win last Sunday.

 Inspiring meme's that said things like, "This is actually just a cardboard cutout of Eli he is at home doing laundry," and "When your brother brings home a better report card than you," it was about time Eli explained himself.

TMZ caught up with the Super Bowl Champ (in his own right), and his explanation was simple.

"I was focused on whether they were going for two, and knew the defense had to step up and make some stops."

He was thinking football. Duh.

Would you like fries with your gator?

The alligator, making himself at home inside a Florida Wendy's.

You know those 911 recordings, where an angry customer calls because their favorite fast food spot is out of chicken nuggets? Well we've got them beat. 

24-year-old Joshua James was recently arrested for chucking a live, 3 1/2 foot gator through the drive-thru window of a Royal Palm Beach Wendy's back in October. According to reports and video,  James pulled up to the drive-thru, ordered a drink, then threw the gator through the window after receiving it.

Luckily no one was injured during the "alligator throw". An official was called, who eventually taped the animal's mouth shut before returning it to the wild.

Apparently, James found the reptile on the side of the road where he led him into his truck. 

Ed and Linda James, the man's parents, claim that he is just a "prankster" who was playing a joke on a friend who worked at Wendy's.

Order up.
