Kim Kardashian: Very Responsive in Threesome, Porn Star Alleges

Kim Kardashian posing for bikini picture after bikini picture? Not surprising.

Kim Kardashian engaging in a threesome with a male porn star and a female porn star? Okay, not all that surprising either.

That's exactly what Julian St. Jox says happened in 2001, as the adult film actor - known for such movies as 5 on 1 and Afro-Centrix 17: Butts Up - tells Star Magazine he and fellow porn star Emily Ann got it on with Kim at a swingers party over a decade ago.

Kim Kardashian Bikini Pose
According to St. Jox, the ménage à trois took place at the Wyndham hotel in Culver City and followed the unexpected arrival of a then-scarcely known Kardashian, who turned heads in a miniskirt and tank top.

"As soon as Kim walked in, everyone was looking," St. Jox tells Star. "She wasn’t known at the time at all, not like today, but for everyone who frequented these parties, she was interesting because she was a new face."

So, what happened from there?

St. Jox says Kim and her date - she was married to Damon Thomas at the time, but his presence at the event remains unconfirmed - ended up in a private room with Emily Ann. The two women started in on some intercourse and St. Jox eventually joined in.

How did it go?

“She was a little submissive, but she was good,” says the actor. “She knew what she was doing. She was very responsive to me... [and] looked like she was enjoying herself very much."

We all know what that looks like, don't we, Kim Kardashian Superstar fans?

Britney Spears-Jason Trawick Wedding: Still On!

Britney Spears is NOT experiencing cold feet and is still very much planning to wed Jason Trawick, despite a tabloid report to the contrary, sources say.

The Britney rumor was published by Us Weekly, which also proclaims Bachelorette Emily Maynard was caught cheating on Jef Holm in this week's issue.

We're finding it hard to believe either story even a little bit, at least as it stands now. Says a source close to the singer/soon-to-be X Factor judge:

Britney Spears, Fiance Picture
"There's no truth to any second thoughts about their wedding. They're fine and both look forward to working again when The X Factor gets started."

 "They've had a great summer."

Speculation about trouble between Spears and Jason Trawick swirled recently when she was photographed outside court without her engagement ring.

But, according to the source, "she was not wearing her ring because she took it off during an Elizabeth Arden [photo] shoot and Jason was holding it."

"He simply forgot to give it back until later that day."

Perfectly logical. As far as walking down the aisle goes, the insider says, the two aren't in a huge rush, and she's beyond thrilled for when they do.

"Even though Britney has been married before, she looks at her wedding to Jason as her real wedding and is so, so excited," the source says.

If we'd been married to Kevin Federline, we'd want a do-over too. Tell us what you think: Will Britney and Jason last?

Lady Gaga Flashes Boobs, Dances, Talks Life in Strange New Home Video

Attention, Prince Harry. Lady Gaga will see your nude pics, and raise you a video.

After ogling the Prince Harry naked photos currently taking the Internet by storm, the pop star tweeted, "HOLY MOTHER HARRY LOOKS FIT." Indeed.

But in typical (and much less surprising, for her) fashion, Mama Monster has gone a step further herself with a video posted on her YouTube channel.

A mellow Gaga can be seen introducing home videos taken at various times - one of which includes her flashing her breasts for the camera. Peep it:


The other video clips show her playing with her godson Zachary and rehearsing for a concert. But the third clip? Full-on Lady Gaga topless action.

Momentary, but still. Gaga can be seen hanging with her sister and mother on Christmas as she dances around lip-syncing to her song "Sheisse."

Then, without warning, she raises her loose black shirt several times ... before her mom walks out of the kitchen and starts dancing with her.

That's Lady Gaga for you. She also uses a Christmas ornament as a mic at one point in the impromptu, otherwise family-friendly dance-a-thon.

We have no further comment, other than direct you to our gallery of Lady Gaga pictures for more of her classic moments ... NSFW and otherwise.

Justin Timberlake-Jessica Biel Wedding: Location, Time Frame Revealed!

ustin Timberlake and Jessica Biel will tie the knot at a private, luxury resort in Montana this month, sources close to the couple have told Celebuzz.

The happy couple, who have been together since 2007 with the exception of a brief breakup last year, will say “I do” at Yellowstone Club in Big Sky.

Total Recall star Biel, 30, insists she’s done “almost nothing” to plan for her big day. Maybe so, but it seems someone has taken care of it for her!

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel in Love

The 13,450-acre private ski-and-golf resort has become a hub for the rich and famous, including Justin Timberlake, 31, who owns a home there.

It already housed a party for the couple who celebrated their New Year’s engagement with a party for 40 friends and family earlier this year.

Now the place will become the venue for something even bigger as Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel make it official in style - their style.

“They have vacationed there many times before both in summer and winter and absolutely adore the location,” said one family source.

“It’s away from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood and it’s absolutely beautiful there ... The laid back lodge feel is totally their vibe.”

Reddit Marriage Proposal: Austin Photographer Captures Magical Moment Online

Joel Bush proposed to girlfriend Jennifer Orr the other night on the state capital grounds in Austin, Texas, with no one around but the two of them.

So he thought.

Photographer Patrick Lu happened upon the couple, took some amazing candid shots of the moment and them posted them on Austin's Reddit.

Hoping to share them with the newly-engaged couple (Jen said yes, thank god), he wrote, “Did any of you propose at the capital last night?”

Marriage Proposal Reddit

Lu received 1,400 "up" votes (the most ever in that sub-reddit), but didn't even need to track down his mystery man: Bush himself found the post.

“The thread found me through friends,” Bush said, adding that he's active in the Austin tech meetup scene, so “I’m not surprised it found me.”

Bush says he unwittingly got the best of both worlds, with a private moment shared by just the two of them, yet fantastic photos to cherish forever.

Lu said Reddit was a logical spot to look for the soon-to-be-newlyweds.

Lady Gaga Wedding Dress Photo With Vera Wang: What the ...

Why is Lady Gaga trying on wedding dresses with Vera Wang?

The singer was spotted at the famed designer's New York City wedding boutique Tuesday, trying on opulent white gowns and veils with two girlfriends.

Check out the photo that surfaced online shortly thereafter ...

Lady Gaga, Vera Wang Wedding Dress

It's not what you think. She and her boyfriend are doing great lately - see pic of Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney naked - but she's not the one getting hitched.

Her best friend is. Supposedly.

A photo was first uploaded by Vie Luxe International CEO Marjorie Gubelmann (a businesswoman who works with Vera Wang) to her Instagram account.

Later, Gaga shared the image on her Little Monsters site, writing, “It’s my best friends wedding she made us try on dresses! BRIDESMAIDS VERA Baby.”

Fair enough. Whatever the occasion, do you think the mermaid Vera Wang - Kim Kardashian’s silhouette and designer of choice - suits Lady Gaga well?

Jeffrey Ross on James Holmes Roast Joke: Not Really Sorry

During the taping of Comedy Central's roast of Roseanne Barr Sunday, Jeffrey Ross turned to Seth Greene and congratulated him on a "really big night." Why?

"You haven’t gotten this much attention since you shot all those people in Aurora," the comedian joked in reference to alleged killer James Holmes, adding:

“I’m kidding! You’re nothing like James Holmes. At least he’s doing something in a movie theater that people remember.”

Yeah. How did he respond to the obvious backlash?

Jeffrey Ross Joe Paterno Photo

Ross admitted that “Yes, I crossed a line" but that this is "what the roasts are all about. That’s what Roseanne is about ... unapologetic comedy."

"If I had held back, I would have done her a disservice."

As for Ross' disservice to the Colorado shooting victims, producer Jonas Larsen has already said the jokes will be cut from the August 12 telecast.

If Ross is at all sorry, he's not exactly showing it.

"In these particular times - it is important to exercise freedom of speech,” he added. “Comedians are apologizing a lot. I am not saying that is right or wrong."

"But it scares me when I start second guessing myself. I wanted to put it out there and remind people what America is about, and on some level, what roasts are about.”

“When I was a kid I said whatever I wanted. It was one of my favorite things about America,” he added. “So now I feel like I am a big kid.”

As for his second most controversial move of the night - dressing like disgraced Penn State football coach Joe Paterno - Ross said he doesn’t care.

What do you think of Ross' jokes about James Holmes?

Randy Travis Arrested for DWI, Retaliation; Found Naked by Cops

Randy Travis may wanna lay off the booze for awhile.

The country music legend was arrested for the second time this year in an alcohol-related incident. See his mug shots from last night, and February, below:

Randy Travis Mug ShotRandy Travis Mugshot

Following a booking in February for public intoxication outside a Baptist church, Travis was taken into custody last night in Texas following a single-car accident.

Authorities tells TMZ the singer was arrested right before midnight on suspicion of DWI. He had minor cuts and bruises on his body and was also charged with "retaliation and obstruction" after verbally threatening to "shoot and kill" a cop.

The silver lining for the star? At least this arrest wasn't captured on video.

UPDATE: Sources now say Travis was completely naked when cops arrived at the crash scene. He also refused a breathalyzer.

Kathie Lee Gifford to Parents of Drug Addicts: You're FAILURES!

Kathie Lee Gifford is facing some heavy criticism from fans after strongly implying to Family Circle magazine that parents of drug addicts are failures.

The quote in question, from her recent interview:

"I'm not a perfect mom, but my kids haven't been arrested, in rehab or kicked out of school, so I must be doing something right!"

Her implication, intentionally are not, is that the parents of kids who have been arrested, in rehab or kicked out of school are not doing it right.

Kathie Lee Gifford Photo

Many of Kathie Lee Gifford's fans are, predictably, far from pleased and telling her off as a result, posting blistering rebukes on her Facebook page.

"Well Kathy, here is a pic of my little brother who we lost at the age of 33 yrs old due to a DISEASE called DRUG ADDICTION," wrote one fan.

"I find it funny we were both raised by the same woman called MOM ... I am NOT an ADDICT and NEVER was ... Poor parenting?? Gimme a break."

Another went right after the talk show host, saying: "Shame on you Kathie Lee Gifford, shame on you. You are a thoughtless human being."

"You know the first thing they teach in counseling for loved ones of addicts? The three C's; you DIDN'T cause it, you CAN'T cure it, and you CAN'T control it."

"Poor parenting?? I'm glad you never had to face any of your babies drowning in a disease they could not be cured from."

And on and on and on. Kathie Lee - who also made news recently for asking Martin Short about his late wife - may not have meant to suggest this about all parents of troubled children, but she nonetheless did, and she's hearing about it.

Blake Fielder-Civil: Comatose, on Life Support After Overdose!

Amy Winehouse's ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, is on life support and in a coma after suffering an alleged overdose on Friday, according to UK news reports.

Blake, whose history of substance abuse is well documented, was found by his girlfriend, Sarah Aspin, choking in bed Friday and was rushed to a local hospital.

He reportedly suffered multiple organ failure and has been placed on life support in a medically-induced coma in the West Yorkshire, England medical facility.

Blake and Wino

Sarah Aspin claims Blake Fielder-Civil arrived home late on Thursday "slurring words and staggering," and she feared that "he was on something."

Aspin and Blake have one 15-month-old son together.

Fielder-Civil and Amy Winehouse, who were married for two years until 2009, had an turbulent and tabloid-dominated relationship, to put it mildly.

In an out of jail for assault, burglary and firearm possession in recent years, Blake was widely considered to be the chanteuse's chief enabler.

Amy died in July 2011, a tragedy many believe could have been prevented had it not been for years of addiction aided and abetted by Blake.

That's nowhere on the mind of her family today, however.

Amy's father, Mitch, took to Twitter Thursday to express his concern over Fielder-Civil's health, writing,
"Terrible news about Blake this morning."

"Remember Amy loved him. Let's pray for his recovery."

Chad Johnson Arrested For Domestic Violence, Accused of HEAD-BUTTING Evelyn Lozada

Chad Johnson (formerly Chad Ochocinco) was arrested last night for domestic violence. The alleged victim was his wife, Basketball Wives' Evelyn Lozada.

The NFL star is accused of head-butting Lozada during an argument.

Police arrived at the scene to find her with lacerations on her forehead; Lozada went to the hospital for treatment. Crazy. So what started the incident?

Chad Johnson (Ochocinco) Mug Shot

According to TMZ, the fight started over condoms in Chad's car. Seriously.

Evelyn Lozada apparently found a receipt for them (not sure which brand or what size) in the couple's
Maserati and confronted him about it.

An argument broke out and Chad head-butted Evelyn. The football star reportedly told the cops he butted heads with his wife by accident.

Johnson was in custody in Davie, Fla., as of 8:45 p.m. last night and will have to go before a judge before he can be released on bond.

It's possible he could be there until tomorrow morning. Stay tuned.

Lozada married Chad Ochocinco - who changed his named back to Johnson so his wife wouldn't have to take the name Ochocinco - on July 4.

For what it's worth, the couple briefly called off their wedding earlier this year, allegedly amid rumors of his cheating, before reconciling.

Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux engaged


 

NEW YORK (AP) — Jennifer Aniston is ready to marry again: The actress is engaged to screenwriter and actor Justin Theroux.

Aniston's rep, Stephen Huvane, confirmed the engagement Sunday night to The Associated Press. It was first reported by People.com.

Forty-one-year-old Theroux — whose screenwriting credits include "Tropic Thunder," ''Iron Man 2" and "Rock of Ages" — popped the question on Friday, which was also his birthday.

The two both appeared in the comedy "Wanderlust," also starring Paul Rudd, earlier this year.

This will be 43-year-old Aniston's second marriage and Theroux's first. Her union with Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 — and their subsequent divorce — became rich material for the tabloids. After her marriage ended, she was in high-profile relationships with Vince Vaughn and John Mayer.

USS Porter Collides With Oil Tanker in Persian Gulf


USS Porter Collides With Oil Tanker in Persian Gulf (ABC News)

The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Porter suffered significant damage after colliding with an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday.

The USS Porter was passing through the Strait of Hormuz into the Persian Gulf.

The Japanese-owned, Panamanian flagged tanker M/V Otowasan was coming the other way, just entering the Strait of Hormuz, and the two crashed into one another.

The shipping lanes are very narrow, about two miles wide in each lane. The crash left a hole in the side of the destroyer but no injuries were reported.

The damage is all above the water-line, so there is no danger that the ship will sink, but likely sustained water damage because the fire control system would have activated.

The USS Porter is headed to a port a called Jebel Ali in the UAE.

Pa. woman accused of killing fiance on wedding day

HOKENDAUQUA, Pa. (AP) — An eastern Pennsylvania woman who was supposed to be spending her first full day as a newlywed was instead in jail Sunday, accused of killing her fiance hours before they were to get married, authorities said.

Na Cola Darcel Franklin, 31, was charged with criminal homicide in Saturday morning stabbing death of Billy Rafeal Brewster, 36, in their Whitehall Township apartment.

At her arraignment by video from jail Saturday, Franklin — apparently unable to grasp that he was dead — pleaded to the judge, "You got to check again!" according to the Morning Call newspaper in Allentown.
After District Judge Donna Butler told her that Brewster had been pronounced dead earlier, Franklin wailed and covered her face in her hands.

"I want my family back," she said, rocking gently back and forth. "I want to go home."
When asked if she understood the homicide charge, Franklin wept and choked out the words one at a time.

"I ... did ... not ... kill ... him ... on ... purpose," she said, according to the newspaper.

Franklin and Brewster were to be married at 10 a.m. Saturday, but police said they were called to the apartment shortly after 2 a.m. Saturday and found Brewster bleeding from the torso as he lay on the landing outside his apartment. He was pronounced dead a little over an hour later at a hospital, District Attorney Jim Martin said.

The Lehigh County coroner's office said a preliminary investigation revealed two stab wounds that resulted in a punctured heart.

Neighbor Steve Engel said the pastor who was supposed to perform the ceremony came to the building after not being able to reach the couple, and others who were apparently going to the wedding also showed up at the building throughout the day.

Ryan tears up at Wisconsin rally: ‘My veins run with cheese’




WAUKESHA, Wis.—Rep. Paul Ryan wiped away tears as he made his first appearance as Mitt Romney's running mate in his home state, telling a crowd of 10,000 people here that the upcoming election is a "special moment" not just for him, but for the country.

Arriving here at an early evening rally, Romney and Ryan made what can only be described as a movie star entrance, riding in on the Romney campaign bus and then making their way through the crowd to the soundtrack of the movie, "Air Force One."

Upon taking the stage, Ryan become visibly emotional, wiping his eyes. He blew kisses to the crowd. His first words on the stump were, "Hi, Mom."

Joking that half the crowd were his relatives, Ryan talked up his Midwestern roots and his love for his home state.

"My veins run with cheese, bratwurst, and a little Spotted Cow and some Millers," Ryan said, his voice cracking with emotion. "I even think ice fishing is interesting."

But soon, Ryan returned the role he's quickly adapted in two days of campaigning with Romney—a defender of his running mate's legacy and leadership and an attack dog on President Barack Obama's policies.

He trashed Obama for failing to turn the country around and insisted the future of the nation is at stake this November.

"It is our duty to save the American dream for our children," Ryan said.

Taking the stage moments later, Romney said he had gotten tears in his eyes watching the "welcome" the crowd here had given his potential VP. But moments later, Romney was interrupted by a protestor, whom the GOP candidate publicly scolded from the stage as he was escorted out of the event for not having "respect" to allow others to voice their opinions.

Romney then turned the attack against Obama, telling the crowd here that the president will do "everything in his power to make this the lowest, meanest, most negative campaign in American history."

"Mr. President," Romney snapped, "Take your campaign out of the gutter. Let's talk about the real issues America faces."

The GOP candidate looked as fired up as he's ever appeared on the campaign trail—and it's a moment likely to surface in an upcoming campaign ad. As Ryan and Romney spoke here, a production crew was filming the event using large crane cams which slowly panned over the crowd during the entire 30-minute event.

T-ara’s Soyeon Injured from Car Accident


T-ara’s Soyeon Injured from Car Accident

T-ara’s Soyeon has been involved in a car accident. On August 13 at approximately 5:50AM, her car slipped on the rainy road and hit the guardrail twice before flipping on its side on the Kyungbu Highway. She was on her way to Busan to film her drama KBS’sHaeundae Lovers.”

Soyeon, her manager, and  two stylists were in the vehicle. Immediately following the accident, they were taken to the emergency room and to receive treatment, CT and X-ray scans.

According to the police, the vehicle in front of Soyeon’s suddenly braked. In response, Soyeon’s manager also braked, but the slippery roads caused the latter to spin into a skid and crash into the rails.

A representative of Core Contents Media stated, “Luckily, Soyeon didn’t suffer any major injuries. She feels pain in her neck, shoulders, and back. Her filming schedule for ‘Haeundae Lovers’ has been cancelled. Following the accident, she was sent to a hospital in Gumi. As soon as the test results come out, we plan to move her to Seoul to undergo more tests.

How will Obama’s deferred action plan affect the economy?




As many as 1.76 million young people could benefit from the Obama administration's deferred action program, which gives illegal immigrants who were brought to the country as children relief from deportation and a temporary work permit. But what will the influx of new legal workers mean for the U.S. economy and government coffers?

Starting next Wednesday, the deferred action program lets people aged 30 years old or younger who were brought to the country when they were children apply for a two-year work permit and temporary legal status. (Applicants can't apply for permanent legal status or citizenship.) The Migration Policy Institute (MPI) estimates that about 620,000 adults ages 18 to 30 would meet the requirements--the rest of the 1.76 million illegal immigrants who qualify are under 18. Eighty thousand of the potential applicants have a bachelor's or associates degree already, and another 140,000 are currently enrolled in college.

While no formal estimates of the economic impact yet exist, Jeanne Batalova, who studies the program as part of her work at MPI, believes that the net effect will be positive. The program most likely will result in increased tax revenues because authorized workers are less apt to be paid under the table. These new, legal workers will thus be more prone to pay into Social Security and Medicare, programs they will probably never have access to unless Congress passes an immigration reform bill.

"When people work legally it creates better opportunities for everyone because it reduces the likelihood that employers will be turning to undocumented workers," Batalova said.

The lure of a work permit may also encourage more immigrants to stay in school and get their high school diploma, which would also mean higher future wages (and thus, higher tax revenues) than if they dropped out. And for the 220,000 young illegal immigrants who already have an associate's or bachelor's degree or are on their way to one, the work permit will probably help them get a better, higher-paying job that's more aligned with their skill level.

Overall, Batalova would expect that the new permits would have little effect on people who are already legally working, mostly because the number of permits is small compared to the total workforce, and because 60 percent of the eligible illegal immigrant adults are already working.

"While there might be some negative impact on individual people...we don't expect to see a drastic impact on a certain group or in a certain geographic location," she said.

But not everyone agrees with this assessment. Steve Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies tells Yahoo News that because the majority of those eligible for the work permits do not have a college degree he expects their legal status will have little impact on tax revenue. The reason: Lesser-educated workers tend to have lower incomes on average. "By legalizing them you might get more money for Social Security, but [you] might pay more out in [low-income tax credits]," he said.

The work permits will make it harder for American citizens who don't have a college degree--a group that already faces a high unemployment rate--to compete for jobs, says Camarota. The Center on Immigration Studies advocates for reduced legal immigration levels and encouraging illegal immigrants to leave the country through more aggressive enforcement of existing laws.

The administrative costs of the program are less clear. The Department of Homeland Security could need to hire as many as 1,400 new staff to handle the volume of applications, according to the Associated Press; but administration officials told reporters last week that they expect the $465 application fee to cover the costs.

McKayla Maroney is NOT Impressed!

McKayla Maroney's brutally honest, unmoved reaction after winning the silver medal and not the gold in the Olympic individual vault competition earlier this week has spawned a hilarious Internet meme starring the American gymnast.

If you missed it, here's McKayla's expression:

McKayla is Not Impressed

Hey, you can't blame a girl for her high standards, or for wearing her heart (and look of disappointed apathy) on her sleeve. She just expects better.

This demanding philosophy extends to all facets of Maroney's life, it turns out.

According to a new Tumblr created in honor of the exacting vault queen, McKayla is not impressed by the well-endowed U.S. rowing team either ...

McKayla, Rowers
... or the 2011 Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton ...

McKayla, Royals
... or the courageous band of Marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima ...

McKayla on Iwo Jima
... or you getting into Washington State. Can you say safety school??!

Stevie J of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta: Punched By Joseline ... AND Mimi!

Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star Stevie J probably should stop two-timing Joseline and Mimi, or at least routinely rubbing this fact in both of their faces.

Last night in L.A., baby mama Mimi hit him in the face after he made a joke about Joseline, his on/off piece on the side, getting in a fight with Mimi.

Stevie J and Joseline's questionable relationship has played out on the VH1 reality show ... at one point she went after him pretty hard as well.

Check out that infamous clip, during "couples therapy," below:


The moral of the story here? Don't brag about the other woman you're sleeping with ... or bring her to any sort of counseling with you. Or watch VH1.

James Holmes Dubbed Mentally Ill by Defense Team

James Holmes made another appearance in court today, as a hearing was held to listen to arguments from media outlets who believe a judge should unseal various documents related to the July 20 movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado.
Both sides - the prosecution and the defense - actually prefer to keep these documents away from the public while the case is pending.
James Holmes Photograph
But while a decision was not made regarding that issue, Holmes' attorneys did show their hand a bit:
They asked for prosecutors and investigators turn over every shred of evidence in their possession in order for the alleged killer's legal team to make a determination.
"We cannot begin to assess the nature and the depth of Mr. Holmes' mental illness until we receive full disclosure of all the documents," a lawyer told the judge, hinting they will pursue an insanity defense.
Holmes faces 24 counts of first-degree murder. The state has not revealed yet whether it plans to ask for the death penalty.

Yesung reveals that Super Junior doesn’t think Siwon is the most popular in the group




On the July 23rd episode of Mnet‘s ‘Beatles Code 2‘, Yesung revealed that the Super Junior members did not consider Siwon to be the most popular in the group.

The MCs began the segment by asking the members what they thought the secret to their popularity was, to which Eunhyuk and Shindong replied much to the amusement of the studio, “Because we’re handsome.”
Eunhyuk added, “Out of Super Junior, Siwon is the most handsome.”

Yesung actually began shaking his head upon Eunhyuk’s statement and said instead, “Everyone says that Siwon is the most handsome, which I also agree with, but he’s not that popular.”

Surprised, the MCs asked back, “What do you mean he’s not popular?” Yesung replied, “If you take a vote within Super Junior, he always ends up in the bottom half.”

The other members agreed and nodded when Eunhyuk continued, “I always rank at the top within Super Junior votes.”

Yesung couldn’t help but shake his head to that as well, claiming that Eunhyuk actually ranked in the middle and that it was himself who always ranked in the top two or three. The other members teased him by shouting in disagreement.

SISTAR’s Soyu accidentally injures Boom during the first recording of ‘All the K-Pop’






MBC Music‘s new TV show ‘All the K-Pop‘ has unveiled some behind-the-scenes stories of their first filming!

The first recording took place on July 31st with SISTAR as the special guests. Unfortunately for main MC Boom, he suffered an injury to the forehead when member Soyu accidentally threw a picture card at his forehead. The segment they featured on called for the girls to stick picture magnets of themselves on a girl group ranking chart. While trying to stick hers, Soyu accidentally missed and threw it at Boom’s head instead.

Boom’s forehead immediately swelled and a visible cut was seen, shocking the set. However, Boom didn’t let the injury get to him, and responded in a comical way bringing laughter on set.

He assured the SISTAR members that he was fine by jokingly stating, “If I had been hit just a bit lower, I would’ve had to get surgery done on my precious nose again. I cannot lend my nose to medical powers again!”

After stopping the blood and getting his cut treated, he stated, “There’s a saying that if you see a ghost or blood on your first recording, the program will hit daebak. I think, thanks to Soyu, our program will indeed hit daebak.”

The segment was concluded in a friendly manner with Soyu and the other SISTAR members tending to Boom’s wound.
