If you’re anyone you have probably heard about OiNK one time or another. While the news claimed that OiNK was the first place pre-release albums show up, they were wrong, they usually show up on private ftps, dumpsites, or sites in .eu/.us. However, people grab them from there and curry them over to OiNK.

Anyway, the owner got arrested two days ago in his home in England. This will prove to be a major blow to the P2P piracy scene. I’m sure another site will be back up, if not already, to fill the void left by OiNK.

According to the OiNK site, all users of the site are currently being investigated. While most people, including me, believe this is just a scare tactic, it would suck if it was not. In Canada, we pay a tax on all recordable media which allows us to download/upload mp3s and not have it be illegal. That is why the RIAA hates Canada. Other countries are not so lucky. Apparently 50% of the OiNK members are in the United States, where the RIAA operates.

I have compiled a list of great resources for the latest information related to the OiNK raids!

Do you remember the good old days where the download link actually worked on myspace? How else are we going to get the new preview songs? Why should you have to log back into myspace just to hear it?

Most of the myspace mp3 downloaders have broken and no longer work. However, MyspaceGrab currently have a way to work around this and allows you to download mp3s.

I didn’t link the site to keep myself out of trouble, however a simple google search will help you find it!

Happy Downloading

We all know that the prices have gone up on Namecheap to $9.29USD.

As someone who has almost 30 domain names I know it can get expensive. The other October coupon ran out on the 14th when the prices ran up.

Here is the new one that lowers the price to $8.41. I hope this will get way more people to sign up so that they can lower the price after they get a swarm of volume.

According to all news reports out now, Dumbledore is gay, which appears to show that all rumors of this were true. J.K. Rowling came out yesterday and outed the Hogwards Character.

I never really noticed, until now, that Dumbledore never had a relationship with any women. And a close relationship with the dude who was the bad guy in the last book, I won’t give out names incase someone has not read it yet.

Anyway, this was just a quick update. For the full story click below.

We haven’t heard about this girl in a longggg time. Does she even still do anything? I.E. singing, acting? Oh well. She is dating Pete from FOB still, I think. Anyway, here she is at one of their concerts trying to mosh, and dancing in an interesting way. From what I’ve seen it appears as she is super drunk but I may be wrong. Either way, it is fun to watch because of her dancing and her still being hot as hell.

The two top celebs making headlines on a consistant basis these days are Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. However, this one tops it all. Even more than the Britney Spears crotch shots. Lindsay Lohan is BROKE! You may say how is that possible? Well News of the World is reporting that:

Her extravagant spending spree includes:

• A MILLION dollars on just one hotel bill
• $137,000 in rehab costs as she battles her hopeless addiction to drink and drugs
• THOUSANDS more in legal fees after multiple drink driving convictions.

They also say she sold two of her appartments and went back to L.A. and is staying in a guest house of billionaire Tom Gores until she makes some quick money back.

I wonder how fast she can make money back. Hopefully she is off drugs and alcohol and won’t have to waste her money on that. It is sad what happens to young stars these days when they get more money than responsibility.

Good thing she still has her looks as you can see HERE.

First of all she isn’t the best looking celebrity and isn’t even that much of a celebrity. I can count the number of movies i know her from on just one hand. You probably can too.

I’d like to know who the hell told her she would look hotter with no hair at all. Maybe she had a Britney Spears epiphany and decided to shave it off. Atleast Britney Spears has some common sense to put some fake hair on her. Whoever advised Mena to shave her head please fire yourself or never do it again. Atleast it wasn’t a hot celebrity this happened to or we might have to cry.

If you haven’t eaten recently and are not currently eating click the link below to see a bald Mena Suvari in a bikini. You will think shes a man until you see her body in the bikini then you will be confused!

When her hair grows back it should be a good time again.
