INTERNET FIND OF THE DAY
  • Need a break from your daily stress? Wish you could transport yourself to a quiet beach at sunset or a babbling brook? With Calm.com and a little bit of imagination, you can.

DA OF THE DAY
  • I guess some couples just can't help fighting ALL the time. Even in the MOST inconvenient situations.

    27-year-old Dylan Aufdergarten is an inmate at the Lincoln County Detention Center in North Platte, Nebraska, doing two to four years for shoplifting and criminal mischief.

    But on Thursday, he got his girlfriend . . . 29-year-old Jennifer Harmon . . . to help him ESCAPE. Dylan was at his work-release job at an animal shelter, and managed to sneak out and get into Jennifer's car.

    Unfortunately for them, once he got in the car, they started ARGUING. Apparently it just couldn't wait. And Jennifer got SO mad, she ended up pulling over about five miles later and kicking Dylan out of the car.

    He was quickly re-arrested and charged with escape. And Jennifer was arrested and charged with aiding and abetting. 

THE NITTY GRITTY FROM MUSIC CITY
  • People started posting jokes on social media the moment they found out KIM KARDASHIAN gave birth to KANYE WEST'S baby on Saturday.

    But THE best one is a fake TAYLOR SWIFT Tweet that calls back to Kanye's infamous interruption of her acceptance speech at the 2009 "MTV Video Music Awards".

    The fake Tweet says, quote, "@KimKardashian @kanyewest. Yo, I'm happy for you and I'mma let you finish but BEYONCÉ had one of the best labors of all time."

    Everyone's in agreement that it's a Photoshop rendering of Taylor's page with someone else's words. That particular post is not on Taylor's Twitter page and there's no evidence that it ever was.

    LUKE BRYAN'S still untitled new album is due out August 13th, and guess what, he's positive that it's really, really good.

    He tells CMT, quote, "It's the most well-rounded album I've ever done.

    "I think it's twice as good as 'Tailgates & Tanlines' because I was finally singing really, really good on this one. And we figured out a lot about how we want to record my voice, so I'm fired up about that."

    BLAKE SHELTON is 6-foot-5 . . . so naturally, everyone assumes he has some basketball skills. He doesn't. 

    He tells "Rolling Stone", quote, "Man, I'm too uncoordinated. I have the height, but I don't have any of the ability whatsoever."
