Rick Perry is a Republican presidential candidate, and recently became the talk of politics when he lost his train of thought during a debate, making a fool of himself on live television.  To start, I'd like to point out that during a debate, or really any time you are going to be on national television, you should probably have your ideas planned out, along with maybe, say, a script.  Want to torpedo your run for the presidency in ten seconds? Forget what you're talking about during a debate, having the other candidates make a fool of you.  I'm not going to lie, I do feel a little bit bad for Rick Perry.  1) He's on national television, so he is bound to be nervous. And  2) He's under pressure with quick answers.  I can see why he would be so nervous that he forgets what his points are.  But I also think that if you are running for something as important as president, you need to be better prepared to be put on the spot.  The people of America don't want to have to worry about a president being ill-prepared.  I personally think Rick Perry has botched his chances of presidency, all because of a minor mistake. Anyone else would've thought that this was no big deal if it happened in every day life to someone, but the fact that this was a debate, on national television, for the presidency, makes it all that more of a big deal.

Ohhh baby baby..wait, MY baby?

Justin Bieber = ....daddy??  Claims by a girl named Mariah Yeater say that Justin Bieber fathered her newborn baby boy..Apparently they "did the deed" after a concert in the stage bathroom.  Justin Bieber is completely denying the claims, will take a paternity test after he returns from England, and says "when" the test comes back negative, he plans on sueing Mariah Yeater.  I, personally, have a hard time believing both sides.  First of all, the account that Mariah Yeater recalls doesn't sound like Justin Bieber whatsoever.  The weird thing is though, when this so called "encounter" occured, Biebs would've been 16, and Mariah would've been 19. This opens up Mariah to statutory rape charges if this really happened. So I dont understand why Mariah would bring this up unless it actually occured.  Justin Bieber, who is only 17, has been under the spotlight since about the age of 13.  He might be learning for the first time that being such a famous celebrity isn't all it's cracked up to be.  Or, he might be learning that his fans are crazy. Which we all know by know. "Beliebers", aka Justin's fanbase, have threatened to kill Mariah if she doesn't take back her "accusations" of Justin being her baby's father.  Not going to lie, how on Earth is everyone so obsessed with Justin Bieber?  So obsessed, in fact, that they would threaten to kill someone.  What if Biebs really is the father of her baby?  Then those fans are going to feel awfully stupid.  On the other hand, If JB really isn't the father (which I'm leaning towards), and Mariah Yeater is doing this all as a publicity stunt, I almost think she deserves negative comments towards her. Not death threats of course, but I mean come on, how low can you go? I HOPE JB isn't the father, but it would be a little funny if he was.
