XOXO.

Jenny Humphrey

Even when she was sweet "Little J" she was annoying. But by the time she turned into "gothic barbie," she managed to destroy Nate and Serena's, and Blair and Chuck's relationships. We're so thankful for Momsen's music career only because it got her wretched character off the show.

Beatrice Grimaldi

Irrelevant and annoying, Beatrice tried to ruin Blair's chance at happiness. While we agree that the marriage will likely be a disaster, Beatrice gained no sympathy.

Maureen Vanderbilt

Yet another lady who tried to save yet another doomed relationship, while managing to irritate us all. Her attempts at manipulation and power were weak in comparison to the rest of the show.

Russell Thorpe

His last appearance involved him trying to burn Blair alive in a house... Need we say more?

Singer/Rapper Tink Released A Haunting Song About Police Brutality

≪ Previous: 21 Reasons City Apartment Hunting Tests The Limits Of Your Humanity

The Timbaland-produced “Tell The Children” is one more way musicians have spoken out on the events in Ferguson .

This is Tink, the prodigiously talented rapper and singer who became Timbaland's new protégé this year.

Facebook: 507021099348104

The song opens with a monologue and faint repetitions of "don't shoot", "tell the children to watch out", and "keep running". It'll hit a raw nerve.

You can hear eerie echoes of Lauryn Hill's “Doo Wop (That Thing)” in the Timbaland-tapped composition. Faint gunshot soundbytes are added throughout.

But the words speak for themselves: “He was more afraid of him when he the one with the piece?” ... "Badge is a pass to do whatever / So now we livin’ in fear of the people here to protect us."

“What has been lost is the intimacy, the fun, the attraction, the exploration of a new partner or pleasing a partner in a new way.”

Jessica Drake: The reason I chose to create my series is because I saw a need for realistic sex education out there. I wanted to create a sort of hybrid between porn and sex-ed; to show people the difference between sex in porn and off-camera sex. And I wanted to provide knowledge and inspiration, and get people turned on.

Steven St. Croix: I think a large portion of the consumers of adult material would like some of the name talent to speak about sex in a way where one can learn to be a better participant.

Say yes to pumpkin and no to nutmeg!

It's OK for your best bud to have a little nibble of turkey, just make sure it's "boneless and well-cooked."

Turkey skin is fatty and difficult for your pet to digest, so it's best to ditch the skin if your pet is snacking on a bit of turkey.

Pumpkin actually has a ton of health benefits for your pet, including contributing to their digestive health and preventing obesity.

Make sure there isn't any nutmeg in your recipe if your pup has a bite of pumpkin or sweet potato.

In small amounts, nutmeg can cause a mild stomachache, but in large amounts it can cause "hallucinations, disorientation, increased heart rate, high blood pressure, dry mouth, abdominal pain, and possibly seizures."

Well, this is just lovely.

For 24 days, TD Bank surprised 24 of its customers with $30,000 and 24 hours to do one thing: #MakeTodayMatter.

Earlier this year, TD Bank gave its customers life-changing surprises from trips to Disneyland and meetings with their sports heroes.

This time around, the bank spot-polled some of its customers across North America about what they would do to give back to their communities if they had the money.

They then identified 24 of the most inspirational ideas and surprised those customers with the resources to make their dream come true.

Open your wallet. Now close it. You’re not going to need it today.

New York City can bleed your bank account dry in a matter of days. From nights spent painting the town in the Meatpacking District to grabbing a quick lunch in Midtown, it is easy to rack up a painstakingly high tab.

I have embarked on a quest to spend $0 through the month of November. On this journey, I have encountered a number of ways to have a blast in the city on a budget of $0, taking full advantage of samples, freebies, and bonuses with a minimal amount of shame.

New York is a mecca for art, fashion, culture, and free samples. From froyo to banana pudding, you can sample to your heart's content at these local hot spots.

Ask for a sample cup at 16 Handles and YogurtLand and spend a few moments in sugary bliss. One sample not enough? Go ahead, refill your cup — no one is looking.

The Creed singer posted a 15-minute video to his Facebook saying he’s been homeless due to recent money troubles.

Creed frontman and denied Kid Rock sex tape co-star Scott Stapp posted a video to Facebook today telling about recent financial problems and people spreading rumors about him. "Right now I'm living in a Holiday Inn, by the grace of God, because there's been a couple of weeks I had to live in my truck," he says in the video. "I had no money, not even for gas or food. I went two days without eating because I had no money and ended up in an emergency room."

"About 8 weeks ago, I began an audit of not only my record company but my personal finances. During the course of that audit a lot of things were uncovered. A lot of money was stolen from me or royalties not paid."

He suggests that people related to the financial theft have been smearing him: "There's people who have taken advantage and stolen money from me, and they're trying to discredit me, slander me, and I've even been threatened that if I went public like I'm doing right now, that any impropriety I've done in the past these individuals can get their hands to humiliate and embarrass me and try to ruin my credibility."

The Miami Herald reported this week that Stapp's wife Jaclyn filed for divorce. According to the Miami Herald, "[Jaclyn] asserts Stapp has been doing so much amphetamines, crystal meth and steroids that he has become a paranoid shell who has threatened to kill himself and harm his family."

In the video, Stapp denies that he is on drugs or alcohol. "I'm sober as can be. Once the rumors started coming out I began getting blood and urine tests once a week just in case someone called me to the carpet on it, I can prove it."
