Octomom Offered Free Blowouts From Hairdresser Amid Welfare Backlash


Brazilian Blowout, the company behind the hairstyling Octomom recently spent hundreds of dollars on while on welfare, is apparently as mortified by her antics as everyone else, and offering to make it right with free blowouts from now on.

The company wants to reimburse Nadya Suleman the entire cost of her recent blowouts - plus other hair treatments - that she spent $520 on.

While under investigation by DCFS for horrific living conditions, natch.

Octomom Suleman

Such reckless spending and inability to earn enough money to take care of her offspring has some wondering if Octomom should lose her kids.

With that in mind, Brazilian Blowout wants to help a girl out.

CEO Mike Brady says, "We want to make sure California taxpayers' money is not going to anything other than taking care of [Nadya Suleman's] kids. We don't want to see those children miss out on anything at the cost of a Brazilian Blowout."

BB also wants to give Octomom free blowouts and cover the cost of a sitter while the mother of 14 is gets primped. They feel so bad about taking her money, they're even offering to fix her toilet, which might allow her kids to drop a D inside.

The stuff of dreams, right there.

Should Octo lose her kids?

Canon C300 Review: For When Your Movie Deserves Better Than a DSLR [Video]

Since the Canon 5D Mark II emerged almost four years ago, many pro videographers on a budget have shot their material exclusively with DSLRs. They've loved every minute of it. But they've been waiting for the next big thing—a dedicated video camera with a large sensor, interchangeable lenses, and no compromises. The Canon C300 might just be that machine. More »

Zynga CEO Mark Pincus: OMGPOP Acquisition Was A ?Rare Instance?

mark-pincusStepping back from remarks a few weeks ago that suggested that Zynga was about to go on a shopping spree, Zynga chief executive Mark Pincus said the $180 million acquisition of Draw Something-maker OMGPOP was a "rare instance." Although OMGPOP was certainly a step up from anything Zynga has ever done before, Pincus said it didn't represent a change in strategy from last year. He said Zynga will continue to be "prudent and bottom line-oriented" in its decisions today during the first-quarter earnings call.?That's a?change in tone from an interview with Bloomberg a few weeks ago when he said that he expected to do "a few? OMGPOP-sized deals in the next three to five years. His remarks helped send shares tumbling 13.9 percent from the day the story appeared.

Wiz Khalifa 'Very' Surprised By Kanye West's 'Way Too Cold' Lyric

How surprised was Wiz Khalifa to hear Kanye West name-drop him on his "Way Too Cold" single? "Very," the Taylor Gang captain told New York radio host DJ Funk Master Flex during an interview Monday night. " 'Cause he said my name. I've gone a long time without anybody actually saying my name out loud like that. It wasn't a bad thing."

When Yeezy dropped the track, which was then named "Theraflu," at the top of April, he thrilled fans with his fiery and off-the-cuff lyrics. On the song 'Ye professed his love for Kim Kardashian, threw a jab at her soon-to-be ex-husband Kris Humphries and once again rapped about his ex-flame Amber Rose. But this time, West brought Rose's fiancé Wiz into the mix. "The whole industry wanna f--- ya old chick/ Only n---a I got respect for is Wiz," Kanye rhymed on the song's second verse.

Because of the very public nature of Amber and Kanye's breakup, many assumed that he and Khalifa would naturally have beef. (There were even rumors that the two squared off at the Coachella music festival in 2011.) Wiz shot down the speculation. In fact, he says that he and Kanye don't even know each other. "I never met him before ... never in life," the "Black and Yellow" MC said.

The rapper stressed everything was positive, and things certainly seem to be moving in the right direction for Wiz, who dropped the first single from his sophomore album O.N.I.F.C. on Monday. "Work Hard Play Hard" is produced by Stargate and features the TGOD leader flaunting the spoils of his success over a bouncy club track. "It's crazy. We shot the video in Pittsburgh," Wiz told MTV News last week on the set of Maroon 5's "Payphone" video. "It's wild, just linking back up with Stargate, making another hit and gearing up for the second album, O.N.I.F.C. We're about to do it all over again."

While O.N.I.F.C. is scheduled for an August 28 release, Khalifa and his bride-to-be, Amber Rose, haven't locked down a specific date to wed. "Well, we're making the plans, and by we, I mean she's making the plans," he joked. "So we're setting a date."

Facebook for Windows Phone getting a major refresh

Facebook for Windows Phone getting a major refresh, now with less suck

The Facebook app for Windows Phone is certainly serviceable, but it's never really been anything to get excited about. In fact, it wasn't really something you looked forward to using and it's been slow to add the features considered standard on competing mobile platforms. Well, with the soon to land version 2.5, that capability gap will get quite a bit smaller. It hasn't hit the Marketplace yet, but when it does it'll bring support for group chats, threaded messaging, tagging in posts and the ability to like or delete not only posts but comments as well. The photo pages have also gotten a visual refresh and you can now tap on links in posts to go straight to the relevant content. For a few more details hit up the source, and keep checking the Marketplace for updates -- Facebook promises it won't be long now.
