Discover and Barclays Bank are teaming up with AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile in a "super-secret alliance," which will give their customers access to a new technology that will allow them to buy stuff off of their iPhone, BlackBerry, and other smartphones.

Consumers will be able to "wave and pay," without needing to swipe their credit card.

With Discover currently the fourth biggest credit card company, behind Visa, MasterCard, and American Express, the company is hoping to take "dead aim" at their competitors by offering the new technology.

In fact, shares for Visa and MasterCard have already dropped since the news was leaked.

According to insiders, "this is a game changer."

Watch the clip (above) and see how this new "contactless" swipe works. Pretty neat!

It's great to be a superstar. It's better when a superstar is a complete asswipe and gets treated as such, regardless of being a superstar!

Smiles all around because Chris Brown had that exact thing happen to him!

Chris has been denied a visa to visit the UK, subsequently canceling his upcoming tour overseas.

The reason? We bet you can guess…

Because he beat the hell out of Rihanna, that's why! The UK is smart enough to see that even after all this time, Beat-Her-Down needs to be reminded that he is trash for what he did. Officials released this statement about his visa, saying:

"We reserve the right to refuse entry to the UK to anyone guilty of a serious criminal offence. Public safety is one of our primary concerns … Each application to enter the UK is considered on its individual merits."

And when someone has no merit, they are DENIED!

Ha! Sucks to be you!

Well, actually, it sucks to be the handful of people that were going to his show. We hear that no refunds are being given out as they intend to "reschedule" the tour dates.

Are you going to fly all those people over to America to see him???
