Roundup: Ozzy Osbourne Urinated on the Alamo 33 Years Ago, Donald Trump's SNL Ratings & Teddy Atlas's Fiery Pep Talk
By Jason McIntyre
Sandra Kubicka, kind of a big deal on Instagram … Minnesota woman smashes beer mug in the face of another woman at Applebee’s for not speaking English … watch a man fall off a cruise ship at the :27 mark (warning: Kind of scary) … “Ozzy Osbourne arrives in San Antonio to apologize for urinating on the Alamo” … kids admit lying to police about finding needles in their Halloween candy … extremely powerful read: “five Vietnamese-American journalists were killed between 1981 and 1990” … make sure to read the part about reporting “what’s popular” vs “what’s news” … drunk moron in Kentucky walks up to cop, insists he is in Ohio, gets arrested, then attempts to bribe the officer … co-stars of “The Voice” Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton dumped their respective spouses and are now dating … monster Donald Trump ratings on Saturday Night Live … a judge in Texas was shot in her driveway this weekend … 12 cars in Mississippi swallowed by massive sinkhole in Mississippi …
