Lo, was a leading contender for the worst performance of the night. With the fake boxing ring, she was hyped as "the main event," which she wasn't. Her comeback performance of her new single "Louboutins" was silly and she sounded "auto-tuned" for the entire performance. She attempted a big jump and fell down on her butt while performing. To her cr... Read Full Story

It is a disgrace that University of California regents have approved a 32 percent student fee increase for undergraduate students at UCLA for the next school year. They voted to approve this enormous increase despite protests by hundreds of demonstrators outside the regents' meeting at UCLA.

The regents say they had to raise fees because the cash-strapped ... Read Full Story
