Jill Zarin Trashes Lady Gaga in Wake of Super Bowl Halftime Show: What a Plastic Phony!

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Over the past few days, you’ve likely heard a lot of criticism in the wake of Bad Bunny performing at halftime of Super Bowl LX.

President Donald Trump, for example?

Not a fan of the Puerto Rican sensation.

Now, however, The Real Housewives of New York City star Jill Zarin has turned her attention to the woman who briefly joined Bad Bunny on the field of Levi’s Stadium this past Sunday night.

“Lady Gaga got a facelift. I didn’t recognize her. I literally had to Google her face to see who it was because we all couldn’t agree who it was,” Zarin wrote on social media after the performance. “That was kind of fun in the middle of halftime. At least it gave us something to do because it was so hard to watch.”

(For the record Gaga has not spoken about getting a facelift, while Zarin underwent one in 2024.)

Zarin, of course, is pretty much the only person on the planet who supposedly didn’t recognize Gaga right away. But whatever. She can hate all she wants.

Elsewhere, the reality star also had harsh words for Bad Bunny.

“It was the worst halftime show ever,” Zarin said in a since-deleted video later reposted via X by a fan.

“I just don’t think it was appropriate to have it in Spanish, and, quite frankly … grabbing his G [groin] area … I think it was totally inappropriate.

“You’ve got all these young kids watching the Super Bowl, and he doesn’t have to be grabbing himself every five seconds because he’s so insecure. Seriously.”

Zarin is also pretty much the only person on the planet who thinks Bad Bunny is insecure.

UPDATE: Zarin has been fired for these remarks.

“I don’t speak Spanish. I would’ve liked to have known the words he was saying,” Zarin went on.

“To me, it looked like a political statement because there were literally no white people in the entire thing. I’m not taking a side, one way or the other … I think it was an ICE thing. I think that the NFL sold out, and it’s very sad.”

Yeah. We’re pretty sure you are taking a side, Jill.

As many have been doing all week when it comes to Bad Bunny.

Relatedly, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Taylor Armstrong was also unhappy with what she witnessed at the game.

“Were you entertained? I am embarrassed for the NFL and Apple for the Super Bowl halftime show totally in Spanish with a Cuban flag!!” Armstrong wrote alongside an image.

Four Children Charged with Murder After Man’s Fatal Beating

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Earlier this year, a 51-year-old man was horribly beaten.

Days after the seemingly random attack, he died in a Rhode Island hospital.

Police have arrested four children, who are now facing charges — including murder.

They’re not even teenagers yet. The community has a lot of questions about why this happened.

Even had it not been fatal, this would have been a brutal crime

On January 19, police responded to a report of a violent assault.

Witnesses told police that they had observed multiple young people attacking a man.

The youths in question allegedly attacked the man, knocking him to the ground and then proceeding to kick and punch him repeatedly.

These assailants then left the scene.

Authorities transported the victim, 51-year-old Rony Alonzo, to a nearby hospital.

In the wake of the violent attack, investigators began video canvassing the area.

(Almost everywhere in public areas, particularly in cities and neighborhoods, is under surveillance. That is only one of many reasons, some would argue, to not commit a homicide)

The video canvassing paid off.

Investigators were able to identify four possible suspects. Unfortunately, the good news stops there.

The alleged assailants are all children — not even teenagers. Three are 12. One is only 11.

What began as an assault charge turned into a murder case

According to authorities, three were taken into custody for allegedly throwing rocks at cars. The fourth was arrested after investigators obtained and executed a warrant.

This is when the story goes from awful to, somehow, even worse.

On January 23, Alonzo died in the hospital from his injuries.

The medical examiner performed an autopsy, determining that his cause of death was blunt force trauma.

The four tween suspects, who were already facing charges, are now facing upgraded charges.

Prosecutors are bringing a case of murder and conspiracy to commit felony assault against all four as a result of the fatal beating.

The Providence Police Department says that two of the children were arraigned in family court on January 27.

The other two were awaiting arraignment at that time.

According to WJAR, authorities have of course not released the names of the suspects because of their ages.

Allegedly, the children admitted to their roles in the assault during their interviews with police. (This should, as always, be taken with a grain of salt — particularly when it comes to minors in police custody)

Our thoughts are with Alonzo’s family and loved ones

Nearly half of the states do not have a minimum threshold age at which minors can be tried as adults. Rhode Island is one of them.

For now, our (limited!) understanding of the RI legal system is that this trial will be in family court unless the Rhode Island attorney general or the family court judge decide otherwise.

As for the victim, Alonzo immigrated from Guatemala to the United States 30 years ago.

There is no known motive for the attack against him, despite social media commenters speculating that anti-immigrant rhetoric may have motivated a possible hate crime.

Authorities are still conducting an investigation. This is a devastating tragedy for Alonzo and for his loved ones.

Nancy Guthrie: Masked Man Seen Outside Her Door In New Surveillance Photos

Reading Time: 2 minutes

We have an important update in the ongoing search for Nancy Guthrie.

As we previously reported, the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie disappeared from her home on Sunday, February 1, and she has not been seen or heard from since.

Now, the FBI has released a chilling photo of a masked man standing outside her door on the night that she went missing.

The photos come courtesy of an X (formerly Twitter) post from FBI Director Kash Patel.

“New images in the search for Nancy Guthrie,” Patel’s tweet began.

“Over the last eight days, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department have been working closely with our private sector partners to continue to recover any images or video footage from Nancy Guthrie’s home that may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors — including the removal of recording devices,” he continued, adding:

“The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems. Working with our partners — as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance.

“Anyone with information, please contact 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit http://tips.fbi.gov,” Patel concluded.

Nancy Guthrie is still missing, several days after being taken from her home.

Several media outlets received ransom notes in which people claiming to be Nancy’s kidnappers promised her safe return in exchange for $6 million in Bitcoin.

The letters contained two deadlines, both of which have now come and gone.

The FBI says they are “not aware of any continued communication between the Guthrie family and suspected kidnappers,” and the Bitcoin account remains empty.

The Guthries have stated that they’re willing to work with the kidnappers and pay for Nancy’s return, but they need evidence that she’s still alive and well.

“We received your message and we understand,” Savannah said in her latest video.

“We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”

The family has not yet publicly reacted to the release of today’s photos.

“For more than a week, FBI agents, analysts and professional staff have worked around the clock to reunite Nancy Guthrie with her family,” FBI Phoenix spokesperson Connor Hagan said in a statement obtained by  People.

“Additional personnel from FBI field offices across the nation continue to deploy to Tucson. We are currently operating a 24-hour command post that includes crisis management experts, analytic support and investigative teams. But we still need the public’s help.”

Our thoughts are with Nancy Guthrie’s loved ones as they continue their search.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Bonnie Blue Sets a New Record for Unprotected Sex: ‘I Wanted Men Who Wanted to Be a …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

That’s one way to get into the Valentine’s Day spirit!

The one and only Bonnie Blue has set another record, she says.

On the heels of her recent arrest in Indonesia, the headline-chasing sex worker was clearly feeling a little risky.

It’s been just over a year since she allegedly slept with 1,057 men in just 12 hours. How did she top that?

A new record just dropped!

Please do not try this at home.

We’re not saying that to shame anyone. Professional sex workers have been injured trying to match Bonnie’s achievements.

That doesn’t reflect poorly on these would-be overachievers, any more than being worse at swimming than Michael Phelps is an insult to other swimmers. People are, genuinely, just built differently.

According to 26-year-old Bonnie, whose real name is Tia Billinger, she had unprotected sex with around 400 men on Saturday, February 7.

Her press release to Us Weekly reported that the previous record was Ariana Jollee in 2004 — having unprotected sex with a mere 65 men. (Those aren’t rookie numbers, but they don’t match Bonnie’s crowning achievement, either)

In January 2025, Bonnie broke the world record with over 1,000 men at Lord Davenport’s mansion, an 18th Century mansion at 33 Portland Place.

(EdwardDavenport himself is a convicted fraudster, but it’s worth noting that the property already has a reputation for The King’s Speech and for orgies)

She chose the same venue for this unprotected sexual encounter.

According to the report, some of her gentlemen callers waited in line for seven hours or longer in order to take part in the record-smashing smashing.

However, Bonnie thought ahead, providing refreshments. We hope that the catering included plenty of fluids. For hydration, we mean.

She wanted ‘the strongest swimmers’

“I was concerned I’d drown with the amount of fluids I had planned to consume, and did consume by the end of the day,” Blue joked.

In terms of lining up her short-term suitors for this session of what one might call advanced speed-dating, she had specific qualifications in mind.

“I wanted the men who wanted to be a dad the most, with the strongest swimmers, to get a fast pass to the front of the queue,” Bonnie shared.

Beyond ticket sales from those who wanted to vie for a chance to impregnate her, it’s unclear how she gauged who best qualified.

However, we know that Bonnie previously delayed the event until her body was in a more receptive mood. That is to say, until she was ovulating.

Last year, OnlyFans star Lily Phillips announced her pregnancy after bedding 100 men.

(She later admitted that this was a stunt)

Lily also allegedly broke Bonnie’s record last summer by sleeping with 1,113 men in a 12-hour span.

With that in mind, we need to take some of Bonnie’s statements with a grain of salt.

She is a sex worker, yes. But she is also a provocateur — intentionally making headlines with incendiary statements in order to get a reaction. Maybe it’s good business.

Bonnie Blue gets ready.

Maybe she doesn’t have to be such a polarized topic

At this point, we should acknowledge that women like Bonnie and Lily are sometimes seen as cultural touchstones.

Though we admire their hard work as professionals, they’re not heroes. And though some may disparage them for being sex workers, that doesn’t make them villains.

(We’d say “they’re not villains,” but Bonnie’s willing association with the likes of Andrew Tate makes that a difficult statement. Marketing yourself to the worst scum of the manosphere is a choice)

In reality, they’re hustlers — trying to make a larger-than-life splash because there are a lot of talented sex workers in the world, and making a name for yourself is usually a matter of luck.

Sex is not inherently good or bad. Pleasure is good, bringing joy to yourself and others is good. Sending yourself to the hospital, less so.

But seriously, please know your body’s limits. Unless you’re a professional trying to set a record, surely a dozen or so partners in one day is enough for most occasions.
