USC, F for Effort in Covering up Shakespeare Blunder
USC is standing firm … it purposely spelled Shakespeare’s name on a new statue without all 3 “e”s … but maybe someone should inform the registrar’s office. We weren’t buying that USC didn’t want to buy a vowel to properly spell Shakespeare’s…

Brad Pitt: I"m Covering Up ALL My Angelina Jolie Tattoos!
Brad Pitt’s life can be divided into the pre- and post-Angie eras.
Pre-Jolie Brad projected an every man vibe, even though he was far more wealthy and attractive than 99.9% of the other every men.
After he got together with Jolie, however, some noticeable changes in the Pitt persona occurred almost immediately.
Some were good – Brad seemed to become more socially conscious, more willing to speak his mind on political matters, and less likely to pop up on NBC sitcoms that were nowhere near as good as Seinfeld, no matter what your one friend says.
Some changes, however, were a bit more confusing.
Brad took on a more serious, “actorly” vibe in interviews.
He began gravitating toward more capital “I” Important projects, and adopting a style of dress that can best be described as Depp-light.
And of course, there were the tattoos.
Angelina’s tattoos have been on frequent display since the early days of her fame, but if Brad had tatts pre-Angie, they were always covered up.
After he started dating Jolie, Pitt quickly became rather heavily-inked, and many of his tats pay tribute to the mother of his children.
According to reports from several media outlets, Brad has Angie’s birthday scrawled on his “groin,” some “squiggles” on his back that Jolie doodled while they were lying naked in bed, matching ink from a Thai monk meant to “bind them spiritually,” and the geographical coordinates of Angie’s birthday.
If you’ve been anywhere near the Internet or a supermarket checkout line in the past eight months, then you’re no doubt aware that Pitt and Jolie are getting divorced.
Not only that, Brad says he’s sober now after decades of substance abuse.
So it’s no great shock that he’d want to put the past away and move on as quickly as possible.
Not surprisingly, he considers removing or covering up all his Angie tattoos as part of that process.
“He’s making appointments to remove the tattoos he got for Angie,” one insider tells Star magazine.
“He’s ready for a fresh start and wants that reflected on his skin.”
The source adds:
“It’s going to take at least a year to get rid of them, and they’ll leave scars,” adds the source.
“He may just cover them up, but he has so many about Angie, he’ll end up needing a lot of huge pieces.”
So, new ink, new Brad?
Maybe he’ll even get back to dating third-rate sitcom stars.
We hear Kaley Cuoco is available.
And by that we mean she’s dating someone, but she’d probably make herself available for Brad freakin’ Pitt, ya know?

Harry Styles: BLASTED for Covering Kanye West Song
Harry Styles is trying to carve out a solo career for himself, similar to the way Zayn Malik did in 2016, but his career has already hit a snag.
That snag comes in the form of Kanye West. Now, we"re not saying they"re friends or anything, but Styles opted to cover the track, "Ultralight Beams."
This event occurred during Harry"s first-ever solo show at London"s Garage Nightclub on Saturday night.
The reason you"re probably scratching your head wondering why this is the first you"re hearing of the show is because it was announced on the same day.
We can just imagine how upset you are that you did not get to attend. Don"t worry. We have you covered with a video of the performance.
Harry"s take on the song sounds surprisingly alright, and while people at the event seemed to be playing along with it, Twitter was not entirely impressed with it.
When one user praised the performance, a user fired back and likened the sound to ear cancer.
"People actually think this is good? I have ear cancer from listening to this."
We get it, some people don"t like one of their favorite songs being covered, but still, it"s hardly a nice way to vent frustration.
Interestingly, even some of Harry"s fans found the surprising number to be a little bit dull.
"I love harry, but i"m not feeling this cover. White people really don"t need to make indie/rock covers of songs by rap artists."
We wonder how Taylor Swift feels about her ex-boyfriend singing a song that was made by her enemy, Kanye West.
Yes, we"re still not over that feud.
Harry shocked the internet and released his self-titled debut album on Friday. Unlike his performance of "Ultralight Bean," it is poised to be a success, with critics taking a shine to it.
Styles rose to fame on the seventh season of The X Factor U.K. after being put in a group when he was eliminated from the show as a solo contestant.
One Direction subsequently became one of the biggest bands on the planet, but the band decided to take a hiatus last year to embark on solo opportunities.
Will they really get back together, or will their solo opportunities keep them apart?
Have a look at the full performance below.

Ryan Lochte: What Is He Covering Up?
By now, you’ve almost certainly heard about the ridiculous international incident that’s being referred to on social media as #LochteGate, or by the much more clever nom de scandal #LochMess.
But in case you’ve had water in your ears for the past 48 hours, here’s a rundown of the events that led us up to this point:
On Sunday, Lochte told reporters that he and three other swimmers were robbed at gunpoint while returning to Rio’s Olympic Village after a night of partying.
Interestingly, in his version of events, Lochte courageously stood up to the thieves, who, he claimed, initially masqueraded as police officers.
On Wednesday, reports began to circulate online indicating that Lochte may have been lying about the incident when he spoke to police and reporters.
Rio officials were issued a warrant granting them the authority to seize the passports of Lochte and the other three swimmers, Jimmy Feigen, Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz.
Unfortunately for police, Lochte and Feigen had already fled the country, leaving just Conger and Bentz to be detained.
Once authorities determined that Conger and Bentz’s accounts differed significantly from Lochte and Feigen’s, the story of what investigators believe really happened emerged:
Surveillance footage from the night of the incident appears to show the swimmers involved in some sort of verbal altercation at a gas station.
Authorities now say Lochte and company fought a security guard and vandalized property at the gas station and fled before police arrived.
But by the next morning, the incident seemed to have been all but forgotten about, so why would Lochte tell such an elaborate lie on television and to police?
Well, there are a number of theories, but none of them answer every question.
Some say the swimmers are being honest about certain aspects of the story.
The security guards were off-duty prison guards and at least one of them was reportedly carrying a gun.
Perhaps due to the language barrier, the swimmers may have believed they were being shaken down for money.
However, Brazilian officials aren’t buying that explanation and say the US swimmers may have had a number of different reasons for misleading the public.
“At least one of the athletes may have had a motive for telling a story that wasn’t true,” says Fernando Veloso, the Civil Police chief for the state of Rio de Janeiro.
Veloso adds that a cab driver “who gave a ride to two Brazilian women who had left the same party and discussed having romantic encounters with the swimmers.”
So Lochte lied in order to throw some over-eager swim groupies off his trail? Seems a bit desperate.
The New York Times reports that the swimmers were partying with members of Rio’s “old money elite” on the night of the incident, and things may have gotten a bit pricey.
So pricey, in fact, that someone – possibly Lochte’s mother – received an alert that somebody was withdrawing vast sums of cash with the swimmer’s card in the wee hours of the morning.
Perhaps the 32-year-old Olympian lied to his mom and then proceeded to botch the situation in truly Costanza-esque fashion?
It sounds a tad ridiculous, but then again, so does everything about #LochMess.
As for legal consequences, it looks as though the only real punishment will come to the swimmers’ egos and reputations.
An unnamed Brazilian judge assured the Times that making a false statement to police in Rio is “not that serious” and “results in very little punishment.”
We’re sure somewhere, Ryan Lochte can be heard to remark, “Jeah!”

Tori Spelling: Covering Dean McDermott"s Child Support Payments?!
Lots of famous people have experienced financial troubles over the years, but they usually wind up “celebrity broke,” which means they downgrade from a Bentley to a Benz.
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott, on the other hand, have gone full-blown, regular folk, broke-ass broke, and as you might expect, Tori – who was born into a fabulously wealthy family and began pulling in 7-figure salaries while still in her teens – isn’t coping very well.
Last week, we learned that Tori is being sued by American Express for defaulting on her credit card.
Embarrassingly, court documents reveal that Spelling hasn’t made a payment on her outstanding balance of $ 38,000 since June, when she wrote a $ 1,000 check to the company and it bounced.
Yesterday, we reported that Tori and Dean made a major real estate downgrade, leaving their home in posh Calabasas for a rental property in middle class Encino.
Tori’s mom Candy reportedly paid for the relocation, but she’s stated that she will not pay Tori and Dean’s debts.
That includes Tori’s AmEx bill – and Dean’s back child support.
Yes, according to Radar Online, Tori recently suffered the indignity of foregoing her own expenses in order to cut a $ 45,000 check to Dean’s ex-wife, Mary Jo Eustace.
“Tori is paying for everything,” a source close to the situation tells the site.
The insider adds that “Tori is not happy with Dean,” and she’s been openly wondering “why she stays with him.”
Dean’s son Jack is now living with Tori and Dean, so for the time being, they won’t have to make any further payments to Eustace.
But we imagine it’s getting pretty cramped in those new Encino digs.

Gil Bates: Bringing Up Bates Dad Accused of Covering Up Sex Crimes
Last week, we reported Institute for Basic Life Principles founder Bill Gothard is being sued by five former employees who claim they were sexually harassed by Gothard during their time with the IBLP.
Gothard is best known to the public as a friend and mentor of the Duggar family. Now, another close Duggar associate is being implicated in the scandal:
According to Radar Online, Bringing Up Bates star Gil Bates is also being sued for allegedly helping to cover up the abuse.
Bates is reportedly one of six defendants to be named in the suit for assisting Gothard with his systematic abuse of dozens of female employees over the course of several decades.
Like Gothard, Bates is best known as a longtime friend of Jim Bob Duggar and a famous follower of the controversial Quiverfull movement that’s espoused by the Duggar clan.
Like Jim Bob, Gil Bates is both the patriarch of a family of 19 and the star of a basic cable reality show. The Bates family’s Bringing Up Bates currently airs on UP TV.
In recent months, it’s been rumored that Gil’s son Lawson Bates is “courting” Jinger Duggar – Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s 21-year-old daughter.
The Duggar family has yet to respond to the accusations against Bates.
Though they are not directly involved in Bates’ alleged wrongdoing, it’s certainly an unwelcome situation for a family that’s been repeatedly rocked by scandal this year.
