Psy Thanks Billie Joe Armstrong For Calling Him 'The Herpes Of Music'
.jpg)
Earlier this week, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong dismissed Psy as "the herpes of music," adding that, much like viral disease, "once you think it's gone, it comes back."
Armstrong was, of course, noting the success of Psy's "Gentleman," the follow-up to his massive "Gangnam Style," though, as you can probably tell, he was none too happy that the South-Korean Sensation has escaped one-hit wonder status (and just in case it wasn't obvious, BJA added a couple of hashtags — #flareup and #please go away — just to get his point across).

FUNNY: Abenomics Bra From Triumph Seeks To Lift Japanese Economy Or At Least Japanese Bustline
The Abenomics bra is the newest concept brassiere released in fashion-crazy Tokyo, Japan by the Swiss intimates company Triumph. Branomics, the alternate name for the new design.
It’s a pretty simple concept — a gold bra that offers plenty of uplift and some red arrows pointing straight up, up, up. The inspiration is Japanese Prime Minister’s Shinzo Abe’s aggressive growth policy known as Abenomics. His aim is to reach two percent growth in two years’ time.
Well, boobs come in twos, so you can’t expect Triumph to pass up a hint like that. In addition to three toy arrows which nod to Abe’s “three arrows plan,” the Abenomics bra provides a two percent increase in volume with the help of a little extra padding.

Kim's hands were even dressed up in the print with a pair of matching gloves, and the sandals were made to match, too.
The reality TV star arrived, of course, with her 'baby daddy' Kanye West, who was dapper in a not-very-punk black suit and patent shoes.

100 LASPOTECH students donate blood
At least 100 students of Lagos State Polytechnic have participated in the just concluded voluntary blood donation exercise which took place in the Ikorodu main campus recently.
During the exercise organised in conjunction with the Lagos State Blood Transfusion committee, Nigerians were urged to donate blood voluntarily without expecting financial reward.
A member of the committee, Mr. Solomon Eka, described blood donation as an important exercise in saving lives adding, ” Nigerians should show concern when privileged to do so.”
Eka who enumerated some criteria for blood donation said, ”it is not about the donor’s size but their state of health. Before donating blood, the donor must weigh at least 50kg and the blood pressure and blood level must be normal. Also, anybody who is less than 18 or above 65 years cannot participate in the exercise. Nursing mothers and those just recovering from illness cannot donate.” he said.
At the event, blood identity cards were issued to donors to also grant their family members access to blood when they are in need of it. Mrs Sherifat Lawal, also a member of the Lagos State Blood Transfusion committee advised the students to protect themselves from HIV, hepatitis and other transmittable diseases.

Keira Knightley and James Righton are married!
After weeks of swirling rumors, it's finally official: Keira Knightley and James Righton are married!
The star-powered couple tied the knot in a small, private ceremony at the town hall in Mazan, France, near Marseilles, on Saturday, today.
Clad in a cocktail-length, ballerina-esque corseted top with a tuille skirt, a cropped Chanel jacket, ballet flats, and small flowers in her flowing hair, the actress, 28, exchanged vows with the Klaxons keyboardist in front of an intimate audience of only 11 family members and friends, according to the Daily Mail.
The groom, 29, wore a navy blue suit with a light blue tie and pocket square. The newlyweds climbed into a silver Renault Clio following the ceremony.
The couple will reportedly celebrate with a slightly larger clan of about 50 in the evening at Knightley's mother's home just outside of town. Righton's band is expected to perform.
It should come as no surprise that the event was an intimate and unfussy affair. Last November, the brunette beauty (who appears in Coco Chanel ads) told Ellen DeGeneres that she never was one of those girls who dreams of a "fantasy wedding," adding, "I don't get what the big deal is. You say, 'I do,' 'I do.' You drink a bit." But that didn't mean she wasn't feeling some nerves.
In fact, she seemed a bit overwhelmed by the process in general. "It's all quite terrifying, and I sort of looked up on the Internet, if you're getting married, what should you do? I really don't have a clue," she admitted.
One way or another, however, the "Anna Karenina" star obviously figured it out. Earlier this week, Knightley arrived in France with her mother and then was spotted greeting James at the airport. In other words, this bride-to-be was out and about on the days leading up to her ceremony, not holed up in some spa or tucked away in hiding.
Knightley and Righton were introduced in 2011 by their mutual friend, fashion personality Alexa Chung, and have been dating ever since. They got engaged just under one year ago and currently live together in their East London flat.
