Chris Brown Admits He's The Stalker Type Of Boyfriend

Chris Brown says if he can't have a girl nobody else will.

Chris Brown, the singer and rapper capable of the most creative, awe-inspiring musical performances, took to Instagram Live Tuesday to declare that he's also a rotten apple. Brown admitted he loves so much and so hard that he'll stalk his girlfriends and make sure their lives are "miserable" if they dare break up with him. 

"If I love you bitch, ain't nobody going to have you," he said in the video post. "Imma make you miserable. Imma chase that nigga out, imma chase your ass around." 

The R&B star's message is darkly comedic considering that he beat his former girlfriend Rihanna so badly she had to skip her Grammy night performance eight years ago.

"I'm tearing up everything nigga," the "gate-hopping" crooner said.

Breezy is known to have had on-and-off relationships with the Anti diva as well as Karrueche Tran. It was Soulja Boy's comment on Tran's Instagram that sparked their feud.

Kodi Is Not a Piracy Application

Kodi Is Not a Piracy Application

There’s a piracy app that lets users find any TV show, movie, or song you can imagine. Streams and downloads are both easy to find, and the software is already used by hundreds of millions of people.

The name of this dastardly program? Google Chrome.

That’s a crazy thing to report, right? Sure, it’s strictly true that you can use Chrome to pirate movies and TV shows: just search for any movie’s name followed by the words “streaming,” “torrent,” or “download.” You’ll find a pirated option on the front page basically every time. But if a mainstream media outlet called Chrome a piracy tool, you’d ridicule them for it, and deservedly so.

But that’s pretty much how Kodi, the open source media player, is being reported on lately, particularly in the UK. The BBC called Kodi a piracy epidemic in a headline. The Mirror pointed out that Kodi offers a “way to find illegal streams of movies and sports presented with a friendly Netflix-style user interface.” The Birmingham Mail helpfully informed readers that downloading Kodi will result in you getting a scary letter.

Reading these headlines, you’d think Kodi is the second coming of Popcorn Time. It’s not. Kodi is merely a (very good) media player and organizer. If Kodi is a piracy app, so is Google Chrome (and, for that matter, QuickTime or VLC).

Why Is Kodi Getting Such a Bad Rap?

If you aren’t familiar with Kodi, it’s an open source media center application designed to be used from the couch, with a remote control—not unlike the old Windows Media Center that used to come with your computer.

It’s designed for users with a large media collection of ripped Blu-Rays, DVDs, and CDs who want to watch them from a PC (or other Kodi-compatible device) connected to their TV. Kodi provides an easy-to-browse interface for these collections, complete with cover art and thumbnails. You can also use it to watch and record live TV, with cable or using an over the air antenna. There’s nothing illegal about any of this, though of course there’s nothing stopping users from filling their Kodi library with pirated content.

That, however, is not the reason Kodi is making headlines lately: add-ons are the source of controversy. Much like Google Chrome, Kodi allows programmers to create add-ons that extend Kodi’s capabilities, and most of these add-ons connect to streaming services on the Internet. There are free services, like YouTube and Vimeo, and ways to access subscription services, like NHL.tv and Amazon Prime. There’s nothing particularly controversial about these legal add-ons, however.

Some add-ons, however, link to pirated streams. They’re fairly easy to use, when they work, and completely useless when they (inevitably) break. Even worse, some third party companies and individuals have started installing Kodi on cheap mini-computers, with piracy add-ons pre-installed. Then they sell them as “Kodi boxes,” despite being completely unaffiliated with the actual team behind the Kodi project.

Users who don’t know what Kodi is are happy to have free content, which is coming to them courtesy of these third party piracy add-ons. But as a result, these uninformed people have come to think of Kodi as a piracy app.

Kodi Is Fighting Back, But it’s Not Working

The Kodi team has made it very clear these third party add-ons and boxes have nothing to do with the Kodi itself. The upcoming version of Kodi requires users to allow third party repositories, and warns users inside the interface that Kodi itself does not support them. The Kodi team has also banned all mention of piracy add-ons from the official Kodi forum, wiki, and official Reddit page. The official Twitter account tells users complaining that pirated streams aren’t working to stop pirating things.

Just to repeat it again. Those "fully loaded" piracy box sellers and those Youtubers promoting it are killing Kodi https://

To cap it all off, the Kodi team member Nathan Betzen published a blog post stating that these piracy box sellers are killing Kodi. To quote Betzen:

Team Kodi is officially tired of this. We are tired of new users coming into the forum, asking why the box that ‘we’ sold them was broken. We are tired of this endless campaign by dishonest salesmen to push a single use of Kodi that nobody on the team actually recommends. We are tired of these salesmen lying to users, claiming that pirate streams and pirate boxes are ‘legal’ when they are absolutely not at some level or other. We are tired of being told by companies that they don’t want to work with us, because we are selling pirate boxes. Being removed from an App Store this summer because of the campaigning of others was like a slap in the face. Most of all, we are tired of a thousand different salesmen and Youtubers making money off ruining our name.

The Kodi team, made up of volunteers, is doing everything they can to distance themselves from the piracy ecosystem that popped up around their platform. And still the media mentions Kodi as though the brand itself is shorthand for piracy.

But Kodi isn’t a piracy tool. It’s an open ecosystem, and some third parties have decided to build piracy tools on top of it. If that makes Kodi a piracy app, so is Google Chrome. Heck, pretty much all pirates use either Microsoft Windows, macOS, or Linux to download things: why not call those piracy tools as well? It makes about as much sense.

Some media outlets eventually corrected their articles, in the BBC’s case because of a letter writing campaign by Kodi fans. And I suppose that’s the only hope for Kodi to clarify things: supports continuously speaking up. Here’s hoping the message eventually gets through.

Web Video Cast

Web Video Cast - Browser to TV for Android

Download APK (Latest Version)

With Web Video Caster - Browser to TV you can watch videos, shows, live streams, news and sports programs. It also allows you to play local videos stored on your phone. 

This app supports the most popular streaming devices, allowing you to play web videos on your TV: Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, Smart TVs (Netcast from LG and WebOS, Samsung, Sony and others). Compatible media are movies and TV shows, MP4 videos, sports news and live news programs. 

Web Video Caster is actually a browser that can stream videos, TV shows and other internet media to the playback device or Smart TV. It copies the address of the video (URL) into the web page, then sends it to the streaming device and plays the video directly from the content provider. The app detects subtitles, if any, on the web page. 

How to play movies and shows

Search for an online video and make sure it can play on non-Flash mobile browsers. Then connect to your streaming device and play the video normally. 

What are the legal add-ons I can use for my box?

The rise of the Kodi box has transformed the way people on Teesside are watching television.

However the popularity of the box has already led to the prosecution of a trader selling the boxes.

Middlesbrough’s Brian Thompson last week pleaded not guilty to charges of selling boxes and advertising products to circumvent technological measures after a prosecution by Middlesbrough Council .

The boxes allow users to stream subscription content like Premier League football and blockbuster films free of charge.

Kodi was was originally created for the Microsoft Xbox and Xbox Media Center (XBMC).

But the software has continued to evolve, spawning a community of its own.

Unlike services like Chromecast or Plex, Kodi is managed by the non-profit XBMC Foundation.

And it’s constantly being modified and upgraded by hundreds of coders around the world.

Designed to run on computers and home servers connected to larger TVs, Kodi pulls content directly to your front room.

However, recent community-led products mean it’s now possible to run the software on selected smartphones and tablets.

Kodi isn’t held back by licensing or a curated app store, so it lets you download a range of community-made apps, and watch whatever you like.

Most of the add-ons listed below are available directly from the Kodi Add-on Repository .

And, once there, you’ll also find guides on how to install them.

Plex lets you play your library of content from your PC at home.

Put simply, Plex acts as a media server compiling your video, music and photos into a user-friendly interface.

It also provides extra information, like cast and crew details, release date, blurb and reviews.

Plex basically turns your PC files into an attractive easy-to-use service like Netflix.

SoundCloud

If you fancy streaming music, then be sure to opt for Soundcloud,

The popular service boasts an array of musicians - from chart-toppers to ground-breaking pioneers, as well as emerging artists from across the world.

The app is free, or you can pay £9.99 a month to listen without ads.

As well as music you can listen to podcasts on SoundCloud, too.

iPlayer

Kodi can give you many recognisable add-ons - and these come no more popular than iPlayer.

BBC iPlayer gives you access to TV and radio broadcasts from the BBC, usually just a few hours after they are broadcast.

The app is free to download, but you do need a TV licence.

You can use the service to catch up on everything from Match of the Day to Sherlock.

Filmon TV

Filmon TV gives you access to a wide range of different UK-based channels.

The add-on also boasts an array of on-demand movies, shows and sporting events.

In the premium version, you get even more options.

But the standard add-on is incredibly popular, too, with plenty to watch - including live broadcasts.

YouTube

The other obvious big app that should be on everybody’s list is YouTube.

Surf the most popular video-sharing website on Earth with consummate ease.

Catch up on anything you want - from the official Premier League and WWE channels, to your favourite BBC, ITV or Channel 4 clips.

Which add-ons should I avoid?

The doubts about Kodi’s legality basically comes down to piracy.

So, if an add-on is letting you access movies which aren’t even out on DVD yet, you may want to avoid it.

Likewise, if they are showing films which are currently out at the cinema - like La La Land right now - you could potentially be accessing pirated content.

The same applies to TV, of course.

If you see an add-on that lets you watch shows from HBO, Sky or Netflix Originals without subscribing to those service then it is most likely to be illegal.

Chris Brown Won't Let His Friends Drive His Cars Anymore After Crash

Chris Brown is not happy with his friends at all right now.

It looks like Chris Brown is taking matters into his own hands following his epic Beverly Hills Lamborghini crash. According to TMZ, the cops don't know which one of Brown's friends was driving when the car crashed because the driver dipped the scene before the cops arrived. Apparently Chris Brown knows which one of his buddies crashed the car, and he's already spazzed out at him.

In addition to the stern talking to, Brown has reportedly taken the keys away from each one of his friends who were driving around in Brown's expensive rides. Chris had 7 friends who were regularly driving his cars.

Given that Brown's Lamborghini Aventador cost approximately $500k, we can understand why he's putting his foot down right now. Keep your circle small, and cut out those who leech off your wealth and fame.

Alkaline passes Vybz Kartel to become dancehall’s most popular artist!

Gaza fans will not like this but it is true.

Alkaline has now bypassed Vybz Kartel to become the hottest and most popular artist in dancehall. Dancehall is no longer dead or in prison, Alkaline has the genre in the palm of his hands.

If there are any doubters about Alkaline’s dominance just check out his Youtube views versus any other artists. Unless Alkaline is buying Youtube views, there is no way anyone can deny his complete dominance of the genre.

Vybz Kartel is the Gaza don and his still embraced by his Gaza fans but the larger segment of the dancehall community is admitting that Alkaline has found the formula to stay on top has the champion boy. In fact, all dancehall fans should be calling their mayors and telling him or her that Alkaline deserves a key to the respective city.

Although Vybz Kartel remains one of the top dancehall lyricists of all time, the lyrics he is releasing are just not as potent as those being released by the vendetta boss.

Alkaline continues to make hot songs for the girls, the cars and the clubs; and every now and then he takes time out to mop the floor with a DJ like he is currently doing with Vybz Kartel’s protégé, Popcaan.

Vybz Kartel continues to make hit songs even while behind bars, but because he is not able to do any interviews or live performances, his popularity can’t rival that of Alkaline. With Alkaline scheduled to be on Reggae Sumfest 2017, he will most likely create and even greater distance between himself and Kartel.

Heavy D of Supreme Promotions told 18 Karat Reggae that, “Selectors are playing more Alkaline than any other artists. He is getting more radio rotation than any other artists. Promoters and producers are requesting him more than any other artists. This is something that cannot be said about Vybz Kartel currently.”

Recently Alkaline released a song called “Microwave” where he refers to Popcaan as flopcaan, many fans are saying the song it so hot it could crush Popcaan’s career.

Judges temporarily block part of Trump's immigration order, WH stands by it

A federal judge in New York blocked part of President Donald Trump's controversial executive order on immigration Saturday, ruling that authorities could not remove individuals from seven Muslim-majority countries who had arrived in US airports after the order had been issued. The White House, however, maintained Sunday that the ruling does not undercut the executive order

US Judge Ann M. Donnelly held that the petitioners had a "strong likelihood of success" in establishing that their removal "violates their rights to Due Process and Equal Protection guaranteed by the United States Constitution."

Donnelly, who was appointed to the bench by President Barack Obama, sits on the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

A White House spokesperson defended the order Sunday, saying: "It is the right and duty of the President to do everything in his legal and constitutional power to protect the American people."

"Saturday's ruling does not undercut the President's executive order. All stopped visas will remain stopped. All halted admissions will remain halted. All restricted travel will remain prohibited. The executive order is a vital action toward strengthening America's borders, and therefore sovereignty. The order remains in place," the spokesperson said.

The court's ruling came after immigration lawyers at the Americans Civil Liberties Union and other groups flocked to airports across the country to come to the aide of individuals who had arrived with valid immigrant visas and found themselves in legal limbo. The lawyers asked for a nationwide stay that would block the deportation of all people stranded in US airports under what the group called "President Trump's new Muslim ban."

Donnelly granted their request, writing: "There is imminent danger that, absent the stay of removal, there will be substantial and irreparable injury to refugees, visa-holders, and other individuals from nations subject to the January 27, 2017, Executive Order."

Trump's order, titled "Protection Of The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States," makes good on his longtime campaign promise to tighten borders and halt certain refugees from entering the United States.

As well as the ban on travel from seven named countries for 90 days, it also caps the total number of refugees admitted into the United States during the 2017 fiscal year at 50,000, down more than half from the current level of 110,000. It halts all refugees from Syria indefinitely.

"I am establishing new vetting measures to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America," Trump said during the signing at the Pentagon. "We don't want them here."

As Donnelly was considering the case, lawyers around the country rushed to file legal briefs.

Early Sunday morning, a federal court in Massachusetts also issued a temporary restraining order, blocking part of the executive order in a case brought by lawyers for two lawful permanent residents who are college professors. That order, issued by United States District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs, also an Obama appointee, went a step further ordering that the government could not "detain or remove" individuals who had arrived legally from the countries subject to Trump's order: Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.

Burroughs said that her order applied to the petitioners in the case as well as those similarly situated including lawful permanent residents, citizens, visa-holders, approved refugees, and other individuals from nations who are subject to the January 27, 2017, executive order. The order was also signed by United States Magistrate Judge Gail Dein. The judges specified that the order would remain in effect for seven days while the court scheduled a hearing.

Lawsuit success

The United States denied entry to 109 travelers heading to the country at the time the ruling was signed, a Department of Homeland Security official said. The agency would not say how many of the 109 were sent already home and how many were detained.

The ruling does not necessarily mean the people being held at airports across the US are going to be released, said Zachary Manfredi, from Yale's Worker and Immigrant Rights Advocacy Clinic, who helped draft the emergency stay motion.

"The judge's order is that they (lawful visa/green card holders) not be removed from the US -- it doesn't immediately order that they be released from detention," he told CNN.

"We are hoping that (Customs and Border Patrol), now that they no longer have a reason to detain them, will release them. But it is also possible they could be transferred to (other) detention facilities," Manfredi said.

"We are getting the order to as many (Customs and Border Patrol) officers as possible right now," he added.

ACLU officials praised the judge's ruling.

Trump's immigration order: Which countries are affected?

• Iran
• Iraq
• Syria
• Sudan
• Libya
• Yemen
• Somalia

"Clearly the judge understood the possibility for irreparable harm to hundreds of immigrants and lawful visitors to this country," said ACLU executive director Anthony D. Romero. "Our courts today worked as they should as bulwarks against government abuse or unconstitutional policies and orders. On week one, Donald Trump suffered his first loss in court."

Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project, who argued the case, said the ruling "preserves the status quo and ensures that people who have been granted permission to be in this country are not illegally removed off US soil."

Lawsuit is first challenge to executive order

The class-action lawsuit in New York is the first legal challenge to Trump's controversial executive order, which indefinitely suspends admissions for Syrian refugees and limits the flow of other refugees into the United States by instituting what the President has called "extreme vetting" of immigrants.

The two Iraqis, Hameed Khalid Darweesh and Haider Sameer Abdulkaleq Alshawi, had been released by Saturday night. But lawyers for other detained travelers said in a court filing that "dozens and dozens" of individuals remained held at JFK.

Similar legal actions were initiated in other states before the ruling in New York took effect.

A federal court in Washington state issued a stay forbidding travelers being detained there from being sent back to their home country.

A federal court in Virginia has issued a temporary restraining order saying several dozen permanent residents returning from trips abroad should have access to lawyers while they are being detained at Dulles International Airport and these residents cannot be removed from the United States for seven days.

'America is the land of freedom'

According to court papers, both Darweesh and Alshawi were legally allowed to come into the US but were detained in accordance with Trump's order.

Darweesh, who worked as an interpreter for the US during the Iraq War, was released from detention early Saturday afternoon.

"America is the land of freedom," he told reporters at the airport shortly after his release. "America is the greatest nation."

A source with knowledge of the case confirmed Darweesh will be allowed into the US due to provisions in Trump's order that allow the State and Homeland Security departments to admit individuals into the US on a case-by-case base for certain reasons, including when the person is already in transit and it would cause undue hardship and would not pose a threat to the security of the US.

The suit said Darweesh held a special immigrant visa, which he was granted the day of Trump's inauguration on January 20, due to his work for the US government from 2003 to 2013.

Alshawi was released Saturday night, according to his attorney, Mark Doss.

Rep. Nydia Velazquez, D-New York, who had arrived at JFK by early Saturday afternoon to try and secure the release of the two Iraqis, railed against Trump's order and pledged continued action.

This should not happen in America," Velazquez said following Darweesh's release. "One-by-one, street-by-street, if we have to go to court, we will fight this anyplace, anywhere."

'The executive order is unlawful'

The lawsuit said the US granted Alshawi a visa earlier this month to meet with his wife and son, whom the US already granted refugee status for her association with the US military.

The lawyers for the two men called for a hearing because they maintain the detention of people with valid visas is illegal.

"Because the executive order is unlawful as applied to petitioners, their continued detention based solely on the executive order violates their Fifth Amendment procedural and substantive due process rights," the lawyers argue in court papers.

Court papers said Customs and Border Patrol authorities did not allow the lawyers to meet with the men, and told them to try reaching Trump. Velázquez and fellow New York Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler said they attempted to speak to Darweesh and Alshawi at JFK's Terminal 4 earlier Saturday but were denied.

The ban and its impact

• 134 million banned from US
• What the ban says: The full text
• What to know about the restrictions
• Legal battle begins
• The ban's Christian focus
• A family's plight just got more complicated
• Bergen: Trump's big mistake
• All of Trump's executive orders, memos and proclamations
• Comparing Trump to previous presidents

"When Mr. Darweesh's attorneys approached CBP requesting to speak with Mr. Darweesh, CBP indicated that they were not the ones to talk to about seeing their client. When the attorneys asked, 'Who is the person to talk to?' the CBP agents responded, 'Mr. President. Call Mr. Trump,' " the court papers read.

Doss, an attorney with the International Refugee Assistance Project, told CNN his clients knew they had to get to the US as soon as possible so they boarded the first flight they could.

The two men had been allowed to make phone calls. They do not know each other, and it is unclear if they were held together or separately, or if they were kept in a holding cell, according to Doss.

The lawsuit was earlier reported by The New York Times.

Legality questioned

But the order immediately raised questions about its legal standing.

"What this order does is take people who played by the rules who have been rigorously vetted and slams the door of the country in their face because of their religion," said David Leopold, an immigration attorney and the former president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association.

But Stephen Yale-Loehr, a professor of immigration law practice at Cornell Law School, said Trump's order may have merit.

"The plaintiffs are alleging a variety of reasons why they should not be detained under the executive order. Their arguments include the equal protection clause of the Constitution and a provision in the immigration law that prohibits national origin discrimination," Yale-Loehr said. "However, presidents have wide discretion on immigration, because immigration touches national sovereignty and foreign relations. Courts tend to defer to whatever a president declares on immigration. I think the administration could win."

An administration official told CNN if a person has a valid visa to enter the US but is a citizen of one of the seven countries under the temporary travel ban, then the person cannot come into the US. If the person landed after the order was signed Friday afternoon, then the person would be detained and put back on a flight to their country of citizenship.

Separately, Department of Homeland Security officials acknowledged people who were in the air would be detained upon arrival and put back on a plane to their home country. An official was not able to provide numbers of how many have already been detained.

Travelers turned away

Sarah Assali from Allentown, Pennsylvania, told CNN Saturday that the US government stopped six of her Syrian family members at Philadelphia International Airport and sent them back to Doha, Qatar, the origin city of their flight.

Assali said her family members were persecuted Christians and did not speak very good English, so they did not fully understand why they were being put on a plane back to the Middle East.

Additionally, some US-bound travelers who were either refugees or from countries specified in Trump's executive ban have been turned back from Cairo International Airport, according to a Cairo airport official who is not authorized to speak to the media.

The official said they were required to follow the instructions of the United States in the matter. He said "(The airport personnel) have no choice but to follow orders. I don't want to blame anyone here."

How to Make $30 Quickly with Inbox Dollars

There are a number of sites on the web that will pay you to read advertiser’s emails, sign up for offers, and take surveys. I’ve tried about a million of them, but there are only a few of them that I would recommend.

Inbox Dollars is one of those companies and I want to show you how I made $30 in a little over an hour completing offers on their site.

The way that it works is that advertisers pay InboxDollars.com to promote their site to their members. Inbox Dollars, in turn, offers you a part of their profit in exchange for visiting an advertiser’s website or signing up for their offer. Most of the offers are free and it’s a great way to make some extra pocket change online.

It’s free to join Inbox Dollars and best of all, they give you $5 just for signing up! Inbox Dollars requires that you accumulate $30 in earnings before you can “cash-out” and they pay you by sending a check.

Easy Offers & Tons of Them

One of my favorite parts about Inbox Dollars is that they have a ton of offers to choose from. That makes it really easy to get to $30 quickly.

Some sample offers include one that asks you to sign up for a email newsletter from AMF Bowling. That pays 50 cents and takes about 15 seconds. Another offer asks you to sign up for a free account at Turbotax.com to earn $3.50. These are simple and there are nearly a hundred of them to choose from.

Fastest Way to $30

I have done inbox dollars for a while now and I have actually got quite a few checks from them. It is legit!

Stephane Lang

I have been doing inboxdollars for the past three years and I just cashed out last month. so it actually actually works. Although it takes me a while to get a check at least a month. Inbox Dolllars actually gives me a check.

This is a more advanced method for folks that are familiar with “paid to complete offers” sites. One way to get to $30 in earnings in only a few minutes is by taking advantage of the book club offers.

There are a half a dozen book clubs that are offering $10 if you try out their club. Signing up for a book club does require you to put some money forward which is why I suggest this method for more advanced users.

If you don’t want to continue your membership in the book club, you will need to simply mark “Cancel- Return to Sender” on the outside of your first package and return it to the postman. The book club will give you a full refund and you get to keep your $10 for trying it out.

If you are interested in giving Inbox dollars a try, visit the sign-up page here to get started.

Good Luck Penny Hoarders!

Note: We want to be up front with you on this – Inbox Dollars is a sponsor of The Penny Hoarder. While we genuinely recommend them, we do want you to be aware that they’re a sponsor and are helping to grow The Penny Hoarder as a community.
