TMZ Is Actual Garbage-Here's Why

After the events that transpired this weekend, I think we all should agree on this one

TMZ Is Actual Garbage-Here's Why

Okay, don't get me wrong I think journalism is a great thing. It helps our country be well informed on current topics and it helps us get our little dose of gossip every once and a while but what happened this weekend...It crossed a line in my opinion.

After Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi's tragic death on Sunday, the family hadn't even been informed yet and TMZ reported FALSE information about his death. They reported initially that it was only Kobe that died when there were 7 other people on that helicopter and they didn't know all the details before blasting the internet with the news.

There is a clear lack of empathy for the people's lives that were impacted by these deaths and it makes me SO angry. Who do they think they are releasing information knowing that the families of these people hadn't been notified? It's garbage. I couldn't imagine hearing that my family members were killed in an accident on some stupid tabloid before hearing from the police. I wouldn't even believe it at first and would probably call my family members to joke about it. Then realize slowly that they were right... This wasn't a joking matter and TMZ took this information and didn't think about anything but the money they'd make from being the first to break the news when they didn't have all the information.

Are you kidding? Again, these are people's lives. Celebrities always seem larger than life and untouchable to many people but they are still people! They still have families and friends and people who know them well. I couldn't even imagine what his wife and three daughters are going through as well as the families of the other people who died in the helicopter crash. I just don't understand why making a quick buck is more important than having empathy for the family and friends of the deceased. I get it we live in a capitalist society... but still, it doesn't make what happened right in any way.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

Ancient Roman Kings: 7 Leaders of Early Rome

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.
