Conflicting Reports on Bobbi Kristina Brown

First the family is getting ready to say goodbye and now she'll die the same day her mother did.

This morning, media outlets have reported that Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, will be taken off of life support at midnight on Wednesday, February 11, which is the 3rd anniversary of her mother's death.

The 21 year-old was found face down in a bathtub on Saturday, January 31. She has been in a medically induced coma for the past 10 days.

According to Page Six, Cissy Houston, her grandmother, brought up the idea that she should be taken off of life support on the same day that her mother died. A Brown source said that it is a symbolic way to keep the mother and daughter together for eternity.

TMZ has reported that the idea came from her father, Brown, 46, who realized that there is nothing more that the doctors can do for his daughter.

Despite these reports, Us Weekly says that the plug will not be pulled at midnight. A Houston family source says there's "no truth to it at all."

 Last week on Thursday, February 5, a lawyer for Bobby Brown denied reports that the family was getting ready to say goodbye to Bobbi Kristina.

"If we issued a statement every time the media published a false report regarding this matter, that's all we would be doing 24 hours a day. This is false, just as is the vast majority of the other reporting that is currently taking place." 

What is true out of this whole ordeal is that the Brown family attended a candlelight vigil on Monday, February 9 in the evening. The gathering took place at Riverdale Town Center Amphitheatre in Georgia where hundreds of people showed up to support and pray for the health of Bobbi Kristina.

Kanye West Mocks His 2009 MTV Music Awards Stunt at the Grammys

Did Kanye just pull a… Kanye?

Singer-songwriter Beck was in for a treat when he won a Grammy for Album of the Year. The musician won the award over Beyoncé, Sam Smith, Pharell and Ed Sheeran for his Morning Phase album.

Right when Beck, 44, accepted the award from singer Prince, Kanye West walks up on stage attempting to disrupt his speech before turning to the crowd and walking back off stage.

As he turns away, he smiles.

At the MTV Music Awards in 2009, singer Taylor Swift won an award for Best Video over Beyoncé. The 37 year-old rapper walked on stage and interrupted Swift's acceptance speech to say, "Imma let you finish, but  Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time."

Six years later, the "Only One" rapper mocked his stunt and made the audience laugh. Still, was it too soon?

Naya Rivera Apologizes For Showering Comment

Some jokes can be taken the wrong way, especially when showering and race is involved.

Actress Naya Rivera apologized for a controversial joke she made while guest hosting on The View Tuesday, January 13. Co-host Nicole Wallace admitted that she showered three times a day. Rivera responded with a "theory."

"I have to say I have a theory about showering, (which) is that I think that white people shower a lot more than ethnics. I feel like showering more than once a day or everyday is such a white people thing."

The 28 year-old actress also added, "A study says, dermatologist say you are only supposed to shower once or twice every three days, so I'm right on the mark."

This stirred up a lot of anger amongst viewers who took to Twitter to express how they felt.

One person tweeted: @NayaRivera Actually, showering everyday is a hygiene thing, not a 'white people' thing. I guess it's okay to be racist when you're not white.

Another person tweeted: When YOU tell the world YOU shower every 3 days that says more about YOU not us Naya Rivera.

The following day, the Glee star guest hosted again and apologized (video down below) for her comments.

"It was supposed to be a joke, but I apologize if anyone was offended."

Bill Gates Does ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

Leave it to Bill Gates to take a challenge and make a science project out of it.

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has become extremely popular. Even famous people are taking part in the challenge. The purpose of this challenge is to raise awareness for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), a disease that attacks the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.

The challenge simply consists of pouring a bucket of ice cold water on yourself. However, when Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg nominated Bill Gates for the challenge, Gates decided to take it a step further.

In the video,  he creates a small model (below) out of sticks and paper of a red bucket above him with a string string.

After he built the model, he grabbed the rope and challenged Elon Musk, Ryan Seacrest, and Chris Anderson. 

Afterwards, he pulled the rope, dumping ice cold water over himself. Took the challenge and put a spin on it. Well done Bill Gates!
