Mark Wahlberg! Why would you EVER be ashamed of laying down some nasty beats with the Funky Bunch??

LOLz! We kid, we kid!

Mark Wahlberg is obviously talking about the actual dark period of his life — his criminal past. He has four lovely kiddos: Ella, nine, Michael, seven, Brendan, four, and Grace, three, with wife Rhea Durham.

If you didn't know, Mark was in trouble with police more than 20 times when he was a teen. He was even sent to jail for assault; something he doesn't usually talk about, as his life couldn't be more different now than it was back then.

The thing is, he isn't scared to tell them! He just wants to wait until they're able to tell that the life he has now does not excuse the things he has done. Fame and fortune does not give doing that stuff a pass. Here's what he said about it:

Jay-Z may have ruffled all sorts of feathers with his trip to Cuba AND THEN proceeded to pluck out said feathers, skin, roast and EAT all those f*ckers cluckers with defensive rap Open Letter…

But native Miamian Pitbull has recorded a response to Jay-Z's musical musings, and rather than be a negative diss track or something similar, Pitbull's tune is far more educational in its tone!

Open your ears and BRAINZ to Pitbull's own Open Letter (above)!

And while we're sure Pitbull is very educated on the topic of Cuban-American relations, we encourage YOU to check out the issue from multiple LEGITIMATE historical sources.

It's a fascinating, complex and ONGOING issue that is obviously STILL a hot topic of debate!

And we bet NBC thought they could sneak this by the masses… LOLz!

As excited as many people are that Jimmy Fallon is taking over for Jay Leno at The Tonight Show, we can't help but point out that NBC's press release announcing the move COMPLETELY ignores Conan O'Brien's short lived time as Tonight Show host, which briefly lasted from June 2009 to January 2010.

The release states:

"Leno has hosted The Tonight Show with Jay Leno since taking over the reins from television icon Johnny Carson in 1992"

HA!!

So we guess NBC is treating The Tonight Show from 2009-2010 like the 13th floor in some hotels…

It straight up doesn't exist!

And many peeps are obviously upset by this omission — and seemingly blatant DIG — at Conan!

Ch-ch-check out some of the ANGRY tweets …AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Indian Lions, or Asiatic Lions, are a very rare and endangered species on this precious planet.

Which is why it is such a blessing to hear that quadruplet cubs were born on March 15th at the Budapest Zoo in Hungary!

That's four, count 'em FOUR, new lion cubs to add to their endangered race!

The four's parents Shirwane and Basil must be so proud!

We know we are!!!

And we're also overcome with emotion after looking at the pictures of these brand new cubs!!

Lauren Silberman might actually make the NFL!!

That's right, Lauren is looking to join an NFL team as a kicker, specializing in long-range field goals. If you haven't noticed, Lauren is a woman, and that means she'll be the first female kicker scheduled to try out at the NFL regional combine. Who cares if the odds are against her?

If she has the talent, they shouldn't ignore that!

Here's what she said:

Wanna know the most surprising thing about the new planned Star Wars movies??

Not a lot of people are jumping at the chance to direct one!

We can understand there's a deep history to potentially ruin there, but you'd think more people would have the guts to do so!

Okay, we wouldn't say Wes Anderson doesn't have the guts. We'd say he's realistic in thinking his product probably wouldn't be the action movie people are expecting. Though, he would like to take a crack at a certain famous character's backstory…

Obviously, if she was willing to take her own life in such circumstances, we were of the understanding that this poor woman had a significant degree of personal demons, but this still makes the whole situation all the more tragic.

Jacintha Saldanha took her own life after falling victim to a prank call from two Australian DJs posing as the Royal Family to gain access to a hospitalized Kate Middleton's medical information, and while the two may be facing possible charges for their involvement in the unexpected tragedy, new information has surfaced that suggests that the late nurse had a history of suicide attempts.

According to reports, the mother of two
