We are super shocked that the lovely, tolerant, and respectful Mr. Campfield would do such a thing…

ON OPPOSITE DAY!

Notoriously anti-gay Tennessee Senator Stacey Campfield has once again proven to be an insensitive human being.

Surprisingly, the politician welcomes open discourse from his Tennessee constituents…

BUT upon receiving a recent email calling him out on his "Don't Say Gay" bill that BANS the mention of anything "gay" related from kindergarten to 8th grade — and even asks teachers to inform parents if they think their child may be gay(!) — Stacey replied to the concerned citizen by telling them to seek therapy!

Wow. We're REALLY glad a person like this holds (a slight) influence in American politics!

Read the whole e-mail exchange …AFTER THE JUMP!!!

When Evi and Randy Quaid realized they had to run for their lives from "Hollywood Star Whackers", a group killing actors, they ran somewhere Hollywood couldn't find them- Canada!

Unfortunately, though Evi was granted citizenship thanks to her father being born North of the Line, Randy was left out in the cold!

So now Randy Quaid is appealing. Huh. Don't get to say that every day.

Srsly though, The couple is fervently requesting the Canadian government reconsider. They submitted a lengthy application for judicial review. They said:

Hedi Slimane sure loves himself some obscure musicians, doesn't he?

First it was Tom Burke of the Citizens!, then it was Beck, and now the creative director of Saint Laurent Paris has chosen singer Sky Ferreira as the face of his pre-fall lookbook.

When we think of all the big-name stars that would've jumped at the chance to star in a Saint Laurent campaign, Miz Ferreira is kind of a perplexing choice.

However, she was previously in a CK One campaign, so clearly the fashion crowd loves her, and we have to admit the 20-year-old can pose like a pro.

Check out all the pics from the lookbook in the gallery (below)!

We don't think we could've ever seen this coming!

Sure, we're used to seeing musicians, actors, and other assorted celebs in advertisements for big-name brands, but we would've never made a connection between Beck and Saint Laurent.

Although, now that we think about it, creative director Hedi Slimane did tap Citizens! frontman Tom Burke to star in part one of the S/S 2013 campaign, so Beck as the second male musician face for the brand is not that weird.

Okay, it's still pretty weird.

However, we will admit that Beck looks pretty haute in the moody black and white shots styled and taken by Slimane himself.

And the brand's rock 'n' roll aesthetic of skinny ties, tailored blazers, and black fedoras suit him well.

Well played, Hedi.

It's entirely debatable whether or not Barack Obama is a one of the best presidents ever, but he's most definitely one of the coolest!

The leader of our country stopped by NBC's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday night and talked about a variety of topics. However, since the episode was being filmed at the University of North Carolina, education was a MAJOR talking point.

Not only did Fallon surprise the Prez with a picture from his college days, in which he's rockin' a very stylish afro, but the two talked (above) about the value of higher education.

Unfortunately, the cost of college outweighs the value for some people and to top it off, congress is considering doubling the interest rates of student loans.

Then there is the most recent White House scandal involving the Secret Service, so Fallon obvi asked about it and we are proud to say that Obama handled the controversial subject with class. Watch him discuss the scandal and answer Twitter questions from U.S. citizens … AFTER THE JUMP!

LOLz!

By pulling off what might be one of the meanest pranks of all time, Tic Tac has created one of the BEST viral marketing campaigns of all time. Or at least, of recent memory.

In the mint company's "Worst Breath on Earth" video, unsuspecting citizens of Rouen, France get the obnoxious surprise of a lifetime when they ask a stranger a simple question and the entire population around them collapses to the floor.

The two-minute ad went viral before it was even officially launched last Wednesday and you'll totally understand why when U watch it (above)!

We doubt anybody's breath has ever been THIS bad, but it definitely gets a point across — bad breath isn't fun for anybody!

Well this isn't happy news!

Reports are claiming Whitney Houston's funeral cost the state of New Jersey $187,000 in police costs!

Ick…

Despite Newark Councilwoman Mildred Crump insisting "barriers and officers of the law" were necessary to ensure the safety of thousands, residents are calling BS!

Since that's a bill being paid by their taxes, NJ citizens
