Bruce Paddock: Las Vegas Shooter"s Brother Arrested For Child Porn
Bruce Paddock, brother of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock, has reportedly been arrested for possession of child pornography.
TMZ is reporting that Paddock was taken into custody in North Hollywood, CA early this morning.
Authorities say the arrest is the result of a months-long investigation that began long before Stephen Paddock carried out the deadliest mass shooting in US history on October 1.
Sources say police had been unsuccessfully attempting to locate Bruce for months.
After the shooting, police reportedly received a tip that the 58-year-old was residing in an assisted living facility in California.
Paddock was apparently awaiting surgery for spinal stenosis at the time of his arrest.
According to a felony complaint, in 2014 Paddock was in possession of 600 sexually explicit photos of minors.
Paddock reportedly faces 19 counts of sexual exploitation of a child and one count of possession of child pornography.
Strangely, Bruce spoke to the press seemingly without hesitation following news that his brother had murdered 58 concertgoers and injured 546 others.
“I don’t know how he could stoop to this low point, hurting someone else. It wasn’t suicide by cop since he killed himself,” he said at the time.
“He killed a bunch of people and then killed himself so he didn’t have to face whatever it was.”
It was Bruce who revealed that that he and Stephen’s father had been a bank robber who was hunted by the FBI.
Shortly after the shooting, Bruce stated that he was “annoyed” that his brother’s crimes had brought new attention to some of his past misdeeds, including a vandalism charge for which he was sentenced to community service that he never carried out.
“I’m not proud of it,” he said. “But I never went to prison.”
Bruce also told the media that in the months leading up to the shooting, he had attempted to reconcile with his estranged brothers and mother, but was unable to do so.
I want to see if we could patch up what we destroyed so many years ago,” he said.
He added that he had only succeeded in locating his mother, “and she’s yelling at me all the time not to talk to anyone.”
We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

Khloe Kardashian to Caitlyn Jenner: Bruce Was My Second Dad!
Khloe Kardashian has had a strained relationship with Caitlyn Jenner for a few years now, but that will be explored on Sunday’s episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
In a new clip for the episode, Caitlyn and Khloe meet up to hash out their differences, and it sure looks like there are going to be some revelations.
“I just really feel like over the last year and a half we certainly have grown apart,” Jenner revealed.
“Day after day after month after month, nobody calls, nobody checks in. Just, ‘Hey, how are you doing?’ I haven’t gotten that phone call from anybody. You can’t help but sit there and think, ‘OK, is it because I transitioned? They don’t like me anymore?’ I want to know what I did wrong, what I didn’t do wrong, what I did right, and move forward.”
“I don’t necessarily want to say you did anything wrong ‘cause I don’t know if just because you didn’t do something the way maybe I would have preferred that makes it wrong,” Khloe responds.
“This family we deal with things very quickly. We don’t have time to really process a lot of things because we’re always on to the next and for me, at the time I just wasn’t at a place in my life where I really could invest in new relationships or even something that’s this heavy.”
Khloe is no doubt referring to comments Caitlyn made about Kris Jenner in her 2015 Vanity Fair cover issue.
“It was very hard for me to experience a lot of new things so quickly and still feeling like I have to protect my mom and certain things that were happening where I felt like they might not have been the most positive. But then I was also like, this isn’t even my fight to fight anymore. I have my own s–t to deal with, so why don’t you guys figure that stuff out. But I don’t think Caitlyn is a bad person at all.”
Considering the way things played out, it must have been difficult to choose sides because Caitlyn and Kris were at odds over how to address Caitlyn’s transition publicly.
Caitlyn, however, reminds Khloe that she was there when Khloe went through some of the toughest times of her life.
“But that’s 23 years of my life invested in the family and you,” Caitlyn continues.
“Being there when you have good days and bad days and all the things you go through when you’re growing up and sneaking out of the house, and I found you and stuff like that.”
Khloe was quick to point out that the lack of Caitlyn in her life has been tough and gives a glimmer of hope that the pair can actually patch things up.
“For me, you’re all I remember, Bruce was,” Khloe admits.
“So not having you in my life, it’s a huge blow because I’m like OK, my second dad, this guy that I’ve grown up with, that raised me, was taken away from me, but no one really let me have that.”
You’ll be able to find out what happens next when you watch the next episode of the E! reality series on Sunday night.

Bruce Springsteen Plays Duet with Luckiest Fan Ever
For the record, Bruce Springsteen is probably a big fan of school.
We"re sure he"d encourage every young person to attend many years of school and graduate from both high school and college.
However, 14-year old Nathan Testa was in attendance at The Boss’ show at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre last Thursday when he held up a sign saying he had skipped school to be there.
Through his homemade sign, Nathan also said he wanted to play “Growin’ Up” with Springsteen, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
“Do you know the song? You do?” Springsteen asked from the stage. “You know it on guitar? You do? Come on up!”
And go on up Testa did, only played the track with Springsteen and the E Street Band, but even received a few lessons in how to hold the guitar like a true rock star.
Internet users have been quick to note that Testa also joined Springsteen on stage four years ago, at the age of 11, to sing “Waitin’ On A Sunny Day.”
Does that mean this latest stunt was staged?
Or is Testa the luckiest person on the face of the planet?
Either way, watch the fun duet below:

Bruce Springsteen on Donald Trump: Be Afraid, America!
Believe it or not, we’re just 17 days away from the inauguration of Donald Trump as 45th President of the United States.
Like tens of million of other Americans, you may be feeling that we’re truly living in the darkest timeline, and there’s little cause for hope, and well … you’re absolutely right.
(Sorry if we got your hopes up there.)
But this is America, dammit.
It’s the only country in the world where people say the name of the country followed by “dammit.”
No matter how far Putin has his hand up our president’s ass, we’ve still got plenty to be proud of:
Free refills on fountain drinks, constant Seinfeld reruns in syndication, and of course … Bruce Springsteen.
In case you’re one of those Millennials, always listening to the trap music on your Air Pods, allow us to offer you this crash course on the Boss:
He’s indisputably the greatest American that’s ever lived.
Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration, but we think it’s safe to say that Springsteen will one day be featured on our futuristic currency, in .GIF form, doing the Carlton with Courteney Cox in the “Dancing in the Dark” video.
Because he understands what it means to be a true patriot and he has balls the size of the Garden State, Springsteen has not shied away from harshly criticizing Trump.
Bruce appeared on Marc Maron’s always-brilliant WTF podcast this week to share his feelings in the lead-up to the Orange One seizing power with his tiny, tiny little girl hands.
Predictably, he didn’t let the Donald off easy:
“I’ve felt disgust before, but never the kind of fear that you feel now,” Springsteen told Maron.
“It’s as simple as the fear of is someone simply competent enough to do this particular job?
“Forget about where they are ideologically. Do they simply have the pure competence to be put in the position of such responsibility?”
Springsteen went on to share his belief that a Trump presidency could well have a permanent and terrifying on our nation’s culture:
“When you let that genie out of the bottle — bigotry, racism, intolerance — they don’t go back in the bottle that easily if they go back in at all,” Springsteen said.
“Whether it’s a rise in hate crimes, people feeling they have license to speak and behave in ways that previously were considered un-American and are un-American.
That’s what he’s appealing to. My fears are that those things find a place in ordinary, civil society and the country changes in a way that is unrecognizable, and we become estranged.”
Springsteen concluded his thoughts on Trump by stating that in spite of everything, he still believes Americans are really good at heart:
“I still believe in its ideals, and I’m going to do my best to play my very, very small part in maintaining those things,” he said.
If you’re quiet, you can almost hear the president-elect’s miniscule thumbs clacking out his 140-character reply. Sad!
