Adam Levine Marries Behati Prinsloo In Front Of Robert Downey Jr., Others
Adam Levine, alleged Sexiest Man Alive and person who knows you think he's a douchebag, is now married to Behati Prinsloo. According to People, the couple tied the knot in Mexico on Saturday night, July 19th, in front of an intimate group of approximately 275 guests, which included Robert Downey Jr.
Levine, 35, and Prinsloo, 25, got engaged in June of 2013 after dating for a year. While preparing for their wedding, Levine spoke openly about being ready to settle down. "I definitely feel like I'm sitting in the chair I'm supposed to be sitting in right now," he told People. "It all feels very natural."
E! News reports that Levine "looked dapper in a fitted tux," while Prinsloo wore a white Marchesa gown. The couple, who is headed to South America for their honeymoon, received no gifts from Robert Downey Jr. or anyone else, having requested that guests donate to the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.
There is no report as to whether "She Will be Loved" was played on infinite loop at the reception, but it probably was.

Weird Al's 'Lame Claim To Fame' Stop Motion Video Name-Drops Celebrities He Almost Knows
Continuing his video-per-day Internet takeover, Weird Al presents us with some Sunday mandatory fun in his latest release, "Lame Claim to Fame."
Paired with a neat stop motion video, Weird Al jabs at people's celebrity obsession, pointing out that standing behind Steven Seagal in the checkout line, or using the bathroom stall next to Jonah Hill doesn't make one friends. He even gets a little meta when he makes a reference to the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. The song is written in the style of Southern Culture on the Skids.

Alcoholism and drug addiction are curable diseases
Notes from Indian Country:
By Tim Giago (Nanwica Kciji)
A body is found behind the ice cream parlor on W. Main Street, just around the corner from the office of the Native Sun News and the first thing that goes through the minds of all of our employees as they report to work and see the yellow tape roping off the area is: I wonder if it is an Indian?
Yes, it was and it happened to be the son of a longtime friend of mine who passed away several years ago from complications of diabetes. His name was Myron Rock and the body they found was that of his son Myron Rock, Jr. And the man accused of killing him was also Lakota.
Ninety-five percent of the more than 20,000 Native Americans living off the reservation in Rapid City are hard-working and law abiding citizens. It deeply wounds all of us when things like this happens because it is a reflection upon all of us as Native Americans and we know that the average white citizen of Rapid City think that most of us are of the same caliber. We don't know the circumstances of the killing. We only know that Mr. Rock was beaten to death and that alcohol was a contributing factor.
But it seems to us that these terrible happenings are occurring with much more frequency. Indians are involved in street fights, stabbings, homicidal car accidents that involve drunken drivers and deadly domestic violence that reflect poorly upon all of the Lakota people residing in Rapid City.
The number one contributor to nearly all of these gruesome and deadly events is alcohol and drugs.
The Pine Ridge Reservation recently held an election to determine whether the sale of alcohol should be approved on the reservation. The majority of voters said "YES." We wonder if the consequences would be similar to what we are now seeing in Rapid City where alcohol is readily available. That is a hard question to answer because although the sale of alcohol on the Pine Ridge Reservation has been restricted, the incidence of alcohol related auto accidents and domestic violence due to the consumption of alcohol are still far above the average simply because those choosing to indulge in the consumption of alcohol and drugs can find these products readily available on and off of the reservation.
It all comes down to the point that it is the individual Native American who must take the responsibility of not consuming alcohol or using drugs. For years my newspapers have been editorializing that a massive influx of money must be available to the health providers to create a cadre of trained professionals to attack this deadly problem from the ground up. There is no other solution. The consumption of alcohol and the use of drugs is a disease and it must be attacked as a disease. Locking Native Americans up in jails and prisons does not cure the problem, but may even contribute to it. One does not cure a disease by locking up the sick person. One cures a disease by going to the root of the problem and finding a cure for it.
There have been many good Lakota who saw this problem as a disease and attempted to cure it; people like Melvin "Dickie" Brewer and Glen Three Stars fought it with all of their might, but it seems they could never secure the adequate funding to give it the all-out effort needed to kill the disease. They only got crumbs to fight it with and you can't cure an ingrained disease with crumbs.
And so once more we turn to the Indian Health Service and to the President of the United States himself to please, please send your experts out to Indian Country and give them the tools to cure the disease (alcoholism and drug addiction) that are the number one destroyers of Native Americans. With a massive effort, the job can be accomplished.
We are sick and tired of seeing the lives of our friends and family members demolished because of a curable disease. And the criminal actions of those Native Americans addicted to these diseases are a continued embarrassment to all Native Americans. And if alcohol addiction is not genetic to Native Americans I don't know what is.

Wall Street Journal's Facebook Page Hacked
The Wall Street Journal's Facebook page was hacked by an unknown source Sunday morning.
The hacker made false claims that a U.S. Air Force One crash had occurred. The post came on the heels of the Malaysian Airlines plane that was shot down on Thursday, killing all 298 people on board.
A second hacked post said that Vice President Joe Biden was set to address the nation regarding the crash.
The Wall Street Journal eventually deleted the posts and informed its readers that it had been "compromised."
The hacking was reminiscent of a similar incident in April 2013, when the Associated Press' Twitter account was hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army. The tweet claimed that President Obama was injured after two explosions hit the White House. This past December, the Washington Post was also hacked, compromising employee usernames, passwords and other personal information.

Khloe Kardashian And Scott Disick Take A Bath Together
Here we have a photo of Khloe Kardashian and Scott Disick taking a bath together. He's wearing a life vest, she's wearing a lifeguard bathing suit. It's all a hilarious joke about bubble baths not being as big as the ocean, get it? Oh, no, you don't get it? Us either, really. There are a lot of inexplicable things about this photo, like why is there a microphone? And where is Kourtney? Or, as US Weekly asked, "Splish, splash, they were taking a bath?" That is a good bath, though. The bubble density looks particularly fluffy, so you do have to commend them or the hired help that probably drew the bath for that.
