It's nowhere near October, but one ensemble is already on track to be named the most controversial Halloween costume of 2015.

Social media users were out in full force on Monday criticizing several Halloween retailers for offering a Caitlyn Jenner costume reminiscent of the former-athlete's Vanity Fair cover earlier this year.

While Jenner's supporters condemned the costume as "transphobic" and "disgusting" on Twitter, Spirit Halloween, a retailer that carries the costume, defended the getup.

"At Spirit Halloween, we create a wide range of costumes that are often based upon celebrities, public figures, heroes and superheroes," said Lisa Barr, senior director of marking at Spirit Halloween. "We feel that Caitlyn Jenner is all of the above and that she should be celebrated. The Caitlyn Jenner costume reflects just that."
 
'Star Trek' actor gets 'horse semen' in divorce settlement

William Shatner really likes horses.

So much so that he will take ownership of "all horse semen" from his beloved animals as part of his divorce settlement.
According to court documents obtained by People , Shatner and his ex-wife, Elizabeth Shatner, divided their assets, including their homes and animals, Tuesday.
The 88-year-old "Star Trek" actor will get to keep two horses and two dogs, as well as ownership of "all horse semen" and horse equipment used for breeding the animals.

Shatner also gets to keep their California home and ranch.
His ex-wife, meanwhile, will get their homes in Malibu, California, and Versailles, Kentucky.
Shatner filed for divorce in December after more than 18 years of marriage.

Well, I did want to read something that's not about Megxit, Coronavirus, or Democrats cannibalizing themselves....

Britney Spears' son, Jayden Federline, went on a rant, calling his grandpa, Jamie Spears, horrible names and also saying his mom may never sing again.
Jayden went on Instagram Live Tuesday and made it pretty clear ... he's spending way more time with his dad, Kevin Federline, than Britney. He said at one point, "I'm gonna visit her in like a couple weeks cause I'm with my dad right now. I'm doing pretty good."

MY GRANDPA'S A D***
The 13-year-old went on to lambaste Jamie Spears, Britney's conservator for more than 12 years, saying, "He's a pretty big d***. He's pretty f***ing g**. He can go die."
Remember ... Jamie and Jayden's older brother, Sean, got into a physical altercation last August. Jamie temporarily stepped down as Britney's personal conservator but remained the conservator of her estate.
Jayden said he likes Britney's boyfriend, Sam, and loves his dad, saying, "My dad's literally Jesus."

And, he says if he gets 5,000 Instagram followers he'll tell his entire story ... "That stuff will come out in the future when I get pretty popular."
And, then there's this ... Jayden's confirming a story we broke months ago ... that Britney's career is on ice and she may -- we say may -- never perform again. Jayden said, "Actually, I haven't seen her doing a lot of music at all. I remember one time I asked her, 'Mom, what happened to your music? And she was like 'I dunno honey I think I might just quit it.' And I was like, 'what? What are you saying? You know how much bank you make off that stuff?'"
 
Do we like Pat Buchanan here? I know some of you probably hate this guy. If you are a Trump supporter, you probably like him and don't realize it since Bannon more or less lifted Buchanan's populism wholesale.

So here's a new op-ed fresh from the tap: https://buchanan.org/blog/will-joe-kick-it-away-again-138252

Give the old man a click, I'm not gonna archive this one.

The controversial conservatorship of Britney Spears has returned to the spotlight after it was reported her time with her sons has been reduced under the new guidelines.
Britney's dad was appointed her conservator and made legally responsible for handling her finances and important life decisions.








It was implemented after the former teen star experienced several mental breakdowns in 2008 - including being committed to a psychiatric ward twice - and the conservatorship continues to remain in place 13 years later.
Under the arrangement, Britney has no legal control over her estate, or financial and personal assets.

Last week, the pop star was reported to be 'angry' after hearing custody of her two sons was being reduced from 50 to 30 per cent.
It came after her son Jayden accused his grandfather Jamie of assault and his father Kevin Federline obtained a restraining order against him.

Kevin then asked a judge to alter their previous shared arrangement, leaving Britney with less time with her boys, according to US Weekly.

“You may not know this about me, but I am strong, and stand up for what I want!” she said in April.
Her attorney Stanton Stein, whom Jamie Spears hired after the #FreeBritney movement took off, denied the idea that the singer had been coerced in any way.
“She’s always involved in every career and business decision,” he said. “Period.”

So basically, some weird homos who couldn't care less about Miss Spears's best interests, and her presumably poorly parented sons, are conspiring to make sure that said sons spend more time with their worthless wigger dad and less time with any sort of positive male role model?

How very Ammurrica.
 
I don't ever have to look beyond local media for fucked up news. Apparently we're bringing back child exorcism now.

 
Burning calories: pig starts farm fire by excreting pedometer
Seventy-five square metres of farm near Leeds set alight after copper in pedometer battery reacted with dung and dry hay

Firefighters in North Yorkshire have tackled a blaze that broke out after a pig swallowed a pedometer which then combusted in its pen after excretion.

The fire crews were called to a blaze covering 75 square metres at four pigpens in Bramham, near Leeds, on Saturday afternoon.

The North Yorkshire fire and rescue service said the fire was caused by “nature taking its course” and copper from the pedometer battery reacting with dry hay and the pigpen’s contents.

The pedometer was being used to prove the animal was free range and had been taken off one of its fellow pigs.
No animals were harmed as a result of the fire.

“Should be an oink not a tweet,” said the fire service on social media. “A hosereel was used to extinguish the fire and save the bacon.”
