Afternoon Links: Paris Jackson, Bobbi Kristina, and Bruce Jenner’s Offended New Face
It’s been a pretty sad day for our treasured youth. Paris Jackson was taken to the hospital following a reported suicide attempt that may have stemmed from being denied the honor of attending a Marilyn Manson concert; meanwhile, Bobbi Kristina Brown was evicted following months of noise complaints and left behind this note for her former neighbors. The handwritten missive had TEETH, y’all: “You were honored to have us living above you,” “I pray your misery doesn’t rub off on your innocent little baby,” and “You are shit at the bottom of our shoe.” I guess it’s pretty decent to go the flat-out aggressive route, however. She could have just rubbed poison ivy on their doorknob.
