Finally!!! HBO goes a la carte

This will so be happening in my house. I will drop our cable coverage down to the lowest possible. Together with HBO that should be about $50 a month.

HBO without cable will reportedly cost $15 a month

HBO without the rest of cable’s trappings. We knew it was coming, we just didn’t know when.

The International Business Times is reporting the streaming service will launch in early April, ahead of the April 12 debut of the new season of "Game of Thrones." Called "HBO Now," it will cost $15 a month, according to the IBT.
HBO, which is owned by Time Warner, Inc. (TWX) (also the parent company of CNNMoney), is working with Apple (AAPL, Tech30) to offer the product on the Apple TV, according to the IBT. It will likely also work with other popular streaming devices like the Amazon Fire, Roku, Google Chromecast and Microsoft’s (MSFT, Tech30) Xbox.
Currently, HBO Go (the company’s streaming service and mobile apps) is only available to people who pay for HBO through their cable or satellite provider. Cord cutters who pay for Internet but not cable have had to go without its original content or "borrow" a login from a friend or family member.
HBO to sell sub******ions via the Internet
While there are around 30 million households that pay for HBO through their cable company, there is a huge untapped market of those who want to watch HBO’s shows but not sign up for a whole cable package. The company estimates there are 80 million homes without HBO.
To avoid alienating the cable and satellite companies that pay for the rights to carry HBO — a major lure for cable subscribers — the channel might have some variation between what’s offered on HBO Go versus HBO Now.
Last October, HBO’s CEO Richard Pleper announced plans to launch a standalone service, saying, "it is time to remove all barriers to those who want HBO."

Beyoncé Finally Shows Us What Her Bare Blue Ivy Baby Bump Looked Like

Quick, grab the magnifying glasses! Wait, no – we’re going to need more advanced picture analysis technology than that! Grab your coat, we’re going to the CSI forensic lab! I need Horatio Caine to enhance-enhance-enhance this picture of[ Beyoncé’s alleged Blue Ivy bey-by bump, because I’m having trouble making out the pillow seams with my naked eye.

Her Highness Beyoncé Finally released the home movies music video that played during Bey and Jay-Z’s performance of “Forever Young/Halo” every night of the We Want Money tour, and as you can see the biggest highlight was a grainy clip of Bey and Jay showing off Bey’s fetus factory. Oh boy, my tolerance for these two stunt queens is already pretty low, but this is just bey-yond. I know this is supposed to be real, true proof of Beyoncé renting out her womb to Blue Ivy, but I’m still not convinced. SHOW ME THE RECEIPTS, BEY! Specifically the one for the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Baby!™ lifelike prosthetic third trimester Bump you’re wearing.

I’m sure the Bump Bey is sporting above is real (no I’m not), but it’s still a little too suspicious. The way Bey is holding her hands reminds me of when drag queens try to disguise the neckline of their breastplate by wearing a distracting necklace. There’s a rubber seam under that arm shadow, I just know it! Of course, we’ll never see the lower seam because it’s covered up by that sexy diaper thing she’s wearing.

But the bigger question here is…for why are Bey and Jay posing Like every pregnant couple I’ve seen on Pinterest?? You know the ones, where the woman is always naked and done up in full hair and makeup and the dude looks Like he just took a break from playing Xbox Live? “Oh, is this Like a special memories kind of thing? Did you want me to change out of my cargo shorts or something?”

And here’s the full video, including a bunch of clips of Blue Ivy being adorable

Creepy Millionaire Robert Durst’s Ego Finally Gets Him Arrested for Murder

I don’t know if anyone watched the HBO 6-part ********ary "The Jinx", but I was positively riveted by this guy and his Creepy eyes, and the AH-HA moments of the last two episodes. Most people think he got away with 3 murders (he actually admitted to dismembering a guy, but was still acquitted!) but his big mouth and ego may have Finally done him in. Even so, I still wonder if they’ll nail him this time, he’s a slippery one and his money has gotten him out of lots of trouble in the past. Pretty fascinating guy though. There’s tons of info online about his antics over the years.

Infamous Murder Suspect Robert Durst Arrested on Eve of HBO’s The Jinx Finale

Robert Durst was Arrested in New Orleans late Saturday night on Murder charges. His attorney made the arrest public on Sunday hours before the finale of HBO’s The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst was scheduled to air. The ********ary series is what has brought the 71-year-old real estate heir back in the spotlight, and he was being held Sunday on an extradition warrant out of Los Angeles, reports local ABC affiliate KTRK. His lawyer said that Durst will not fight extradition to Los Angeles and hopes his client will be able to see a judge in New Orleans on Monday. He has then vowed to fight the charges in Los Angeles.

“All reports are that he was polite and cooperative as always,” said Durst’s attorney, Chip Lewis. Houston NBC affiliate KPRC asked Lewis about the timing of the arrest: “I don’t think it’s a coincidence that it’s happening on the eve of the series finale.”

Durst has made news over more than three decades because he has been a person of interest in three deaths since 1982. “The arrest comes as authorities were interviewing new witnesses in the 2000 slaying of a Los Angeles writer, Susan Berman,” reports the Los Angeles Times. Berman was friends with Durst, who at the time of her death was also suspected in the disappearance of his wife in 1982. Then less than a year after Berman’s death, Durst was Arrested for the killing of Morris Black, his neighbor in Texas. He jumped bail before the trial but was caught in Pennsylvania for shoplifting. He admitted killing Black but said it was in self-defense and was found not guilty.

Robert Durst (C) sits in State District Judge Susan Criss court with his attorney Dick DeGuerin (R) on November 10, 2024 at the Galveston County Courthouse in Galveston, Texas.

In a look at what has made The Jinx such an interesting ********ary series, the Atlantic’s David Sims notes that Durst “agreed to speak to [director Andrew] Jarecki for reasons that are hard to fully fathom” but that “perhaps the most compelling thing about The Jinx is that it’s set the wheels of justice in motion again.”

The Kirk Cameron/Crocoduck Erotic Novel You’ve Been Waiting For is Finally Here

The Kirk Cameron/Crocoduck Erotic Novel You’ve Been Waiting For is Finally Here

July 7,2020 by Hemant Mehta

It’s Been more than eight years since Kirk Cameron first introduced us to the Crocoduck, the crocodile/duck hybrid that he believes ought to exist if evolution is true.
And Finally — finally! — there’s an Erotic Novel bringing the two together:

So what is Mandy De Sandra‘s Kirk Cameron & The Crocoduck of Chaos Magick all about?

Kirk Cameron has set up his Pray The Gay Away Camp. He is hoping for it to be a hit Reality TV Show. While most boys are open to letting go of their homosexual ways, JJ a young gay man who practices Chaos Magick has other plans. When JJ finishes his spell and unleashes hot Cheese Jesus, a crockoduck, and Boner Stabone, Kirk Cameron will feel passion and some sexy Growing Pains.
A 7,500 word novellete of hot gay orgy action, involving crockoducks, sexy holy cheese, Chaos Magick, oral sex, anal, clone 69ing, and Stigmata hand sex.

I know. My **** also began tingling at sexy holy cheese.
So I had to buy it.
Let me give you a taste of what you’re in for:

Kirk Cameron’s mouth dropped and he fell to the knees. The Crocoduck he used to refute evolution was now in the room crocowaddling toward him.
It looked at Kirk and its wings flapped with glee. The green-scaled skin glistened while his feathers looked regal. Its 12-inch jaw of teeth showed a long smile of lust — its Crocoduck cock was the same length.
The Crocoduck darted toward the kneeling and shocked open-mouthed Kirk Cameron. Kirk didn’t close his mouth in time and took nine inches of the Crocoduck. It squealed with delight while flapping his wings. The Boners followed the Crocoduck’s lead but went into the 69 position. They sucked one another, mirroring each other, looking like a funhouse of fellatio.

You’re welcome, America.
(Also, someone please add “crocowaddling” to Urban Dictionary.)

Michelle Obama Finally Wears Oscar de la Renta

Why It Matters That Michelle Obama Finally Wore Oscar de la Renta

The fact that Michelle Obama wore Oscar de la Renta on Wednesday at the cocktail party after her White House Fashion Education Workshop may not, at first, seem like a big deal. After all, Mr. de la Renta had been a bipartisan White House sartorial staple for years, most recently favored by both Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush.

But not, until now, by Mrs. O.

Indeed, for the last seven years — count ’em — Mrs. Obama had never appeared in the designer.

At first, it seemed like a choice made possibly to distinguish herself from previous administrations, as well as to do what she could to support new businesses and names (in the same way the Obama administration theoretically represented change and a new era). But gradually, as she began to incorporate bigger brands such as Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren and Carolina Herrera into her public wardrobe, it began to seem like a glaring omission.
Especially after Mr. de la Renta made some pointed comments about Mrs. O’s choosing to wear Alexander McQueen, a British label, to the Chinese state dinner in 2024.
So it was an interesting choice, at an interesting time.

After all, the first lady decided to wear the cocktail dress at an event where many of Mr. de la Renta’s peers were present. By appearing in his dress, she effectively represented the house, thus acknowledging its place in American fashion and also demonstrating directly to industry insiders that whatever they might have thought was going on there was — well, not going on any more.

It was especially meaningful given the rampant rumors, widely accepted, that Mr. de la Renta is thinking about what happens next in his career and to his brand, and is about to choose a successor of sorts in the form of the designer Peter Copping, who is going to work with him.

It was also a quasi-olive branch to the social and political establishment, which loves Mr. de la Renta, as well as, perhaps, a covert nod to Mrs. Clinton, who is famously close to the designer (and whose maybe-possible presidential campaign Mr. de la Renta has already endorsed).

Is this reading too much into a garment?

Think of it this way: For the last seven years, the first lady’s clothing has been the subject of intense scrutiny, which she has leveraged pretty effectively. She wore the de la Renta dress at the public event, in front of most of the United States fashion world.

There’s no way she wasn’t aware of the messaging potential of the moment.
