Arts Bites: Feb. 26

Robin Thicke and Paula Patton split
After nine years of marriage and, at least 20 years together, Paula Patton and Robin Thicke are splitting up. Many people are speculating that, with Thicke’s recent rise to fame, he has let the fame get to his head and has become an insufferable douche. Judging from the behaviour of the past few months, this might not be too far off from the truth. Patton was probably sick of looking at those hideous Beetlejuice pants that Thicke sports. I don’t blame her on that one.

Ghostbusters will have a new ghost to catch
Comedy lost a great person as Harold Ramis, writer and director of Ghostbusters and Caddyshack, passed away on February 24, 2014 in his home. Ramis had suffered from vasculitis, an autoimmune disease, in his later years.

Justin Bieber: Shame spiral edition  
In yet another chapter in the Justin Bieber shame spiral, Bieber has refused to accept the plea bargain given to him by a judge in the Miami Beach DUI case. The plea included a mandatory random drug testing regardless of wherever he travels. It will be interesting to see what the response back to this will be. While it’d be awesome for Bieber to be thrown in jail, that outcome is, unfortunately, extremely unlikely.
