Justin Bieber--SPITS in MAN'S FACE IN OHIO CLUB (Allegedly) REPORT

Being that some of us with The Street Evol Work for or with the Social Room and also are associated with the parties involved.. we cannot say much as of yet since charges are being filed. We were also in attendance in the VIP when the "incident" happened. What we can say it was a Wild night...

The following is from TMZ.com

"An Ohio man claims Justin Bieber confronted him inside a bar and SPIT IN HIS FACE this weekend ... all because JB thought he was secretly taking pics.

The man -- a DJ who performed at the Social Room on Park Street in Columbus, OH earlier that evening -- called in to the Dave and Jimmy show on WNCI and explained the saga ... saying it all started in the VIP room.

"Two of Bieber's bouncers approached me and said I was trying to take pictures of Bieber."

The man thinks JB was concerned because it was a 21+ night in the club ... and Justin's only 19.

The DJ says Bieber's people grabbed his phone and started going through it looking for pics -- but didn't find any. Still, the man claims, the bouncers told JB the DJ was trying to take pics.

According to the DJ, Justin approached him moments later ... and spouted off a couple of "choice words."

"He called my mom something, called my dad something, called me something ... and spit in my face."

TMZ spoke to the DJ ... who tells us he plans on filing charges. He's also been tested for hepatitis ... but says the tests came back negative.

The DJ's story is interesting because it's not the first time Bieber has been accused of spitting in someone's face. The singer's neighbor in Calabasas made the same allegation when he confronted Justin about speeding in their gated community.

We've reached out to Justin's people -- so far, no word back. "

What is Selvedge Denim? (Via French Trucker)

 

“Selvedge” is a word that you probably heard many times if you are directly or indirectly interested in trousers, jackets, shirts and everything else made with denim. Where does it come from? Why is this word never off jeans amateur’s lips?

Let’s start with the beginning, by definition selvedge is the contraction of “Self Edge”, a shortcut for “Self-finished edge”. Actually it is an unvarying finish of a fabric at its end, most of the time colored, made to avoid fray, as a result it is more resistant.

Before going into technical explanations about selvedge denim, we first have to tell about some bit of history. We are in the late 1800’s and the first looms are able to produce twill fabrics whose weaving is extremely tight, giving long and fine stripes (75cm wide). These “shuttle” looms coming from Sulzer Ruti in Swiss, Picanol in Belgium, Dornier in Germany or Vamatex in Italy allowed the weft shuttling without interruption up to the fabric end, so it has a more perfect, stronger edge. In order to distinguish their fabric from other factories, American producers added to their fabric a border of color, especially during the prosperous times of denim history (1920s) when Levi’s started to use red selvedges, yellow for Lee and green for Wrangler. As the first jeans imported by the Japanese were Levi’s, as they became over the years the first producers of selvedge denim, the most common color used for selvedge fabric is red today.

Facing the industrial and social development after WWII and especially the rising demand for denim clothes, the biggest denim manufacturers had to replace their old machines, little by little, by new ones making a lower quality fabric, but twice more quantity (particularly wider). Exit selvedge, natural indigo dying, welcome to large scale production, to cheaper fabric, to synthetic dyeing, to sandblast, to pumice stone fading!
Selvedge denim jeans, pieces requiring a longer production time and more fabric meters were then abandoned. They reappeared during the eighties, while the first Japanese had already started to import old shuttle looms to produce their own fabric (as soon as the WWII was over actually).

It is important to point out a difference that many people don’t: raw denim is different from selvedge denim. It is a common confusion, however the difference is major. Raw denim refers to the color, it is a condition: a material in its natural state, a twill fabric soaked with indigo whose color wasn’t treated in order to fix it, this is the reason why raw jeans fade easier than any other ones. Selvedge only refers to the fabric: a tighter woven twill whose edge is strenghtened. Jeans can be made with a non-raw but selvedge fabric, and vice versa! Take a look and see the difference:

Selvedge denim regains popularity these days, it doesn’t necessarity mean a hight quality and doesn’t justify a higher price. Other features have to be taken into account: is the denim raw? How much does it weight? Is it sanforized (process consisting in restricting a fabric shrinkage)?


The main advantage of selvedge denim remains a tighter and denser weaving than any common denim, giving a much more rigid touch at first, and that will untighten over wears. It also has a much nicer look. A thing to understand is that old looms will create some variations, imperfections from one fabric to the other. These will look unique for purists (in the best sense of the word).
For the producer, using selvedge denim rolls involves more implication to restrain scraps during the manufacturing process (as this material is more expensive). Moreover, compared with its cousin the non-selvedge, selvedge offers a higher resistance to impacts and frictions resulting working conditions.

You’ve now understood it, even if there are exceptions, jeans made with selvedge fabric are of much better quality because they are stronger and nicer. Most of the time, it means they are also more expansive. Today, purists find an interest in its evolution property: indigo fades to leave marks, the fabric becomes more flexible, many things making consider denim as an organic material. A piece becoming unique only from the moment it will start to have scars, marks and will tell its own story.

If today we can’t tell the real quality of any selvedge denim, as it would be necessary to visit every denim mills in the world, know that the most prestigious and reliable origins are Cone Mills (USA), the historic supplier of Levi’s who always produces selvedge fabric, and Kurabo (Japan) known as the best quality denim.
Last thing, the average is €200 or more for real purist’s selvedge jeans at Iron Heart, Levi’s Vintage Clothing, Momotaro or Skull, around €130/150 for selvedge jeans at APC, Edwin, Naked & Famous or Nudie, then over the years appeared less expensive selvedge jeans, still with a decent quality (and even more) : we think about Balibaris or even The Unbranded Brand

An Email Exchange About The Challenge: Rivals 2

There are few things in life that bring Shivam Amin (@SugarShiv) and Dante DiNardo (@DanteDiNardo) to debate things in life: sports, fantasy sports, movies, women, and of course MTV Real World/Road Rules the Challenge. Last night marked the return of the Challenge with the shows latest installment, Rivals 2. The premise of the show is simple, past cast members are paired with their fiercest rival from previous shows in a game of various challenges and obstacles for a cash prize in the end. 

The following are REAL emails shared between Shivam and Dante. DISCLAIMER: If you are offended by occasional crude language I suggest you stop reading now. Also it must be noted that nobody is racist or prejudice to any certain groups of people.

Strap yourselves in and enjoy the ride.

Terms, abbreviations, etc that may be used that the general public may not know can be found at the bottom of the page. If you see something and don’t know what it means, go to the bottom and get hip to the lingo.

Shiv

I have so many thoughts about last night's Rivals 2. I need to discuss this with someone, are you game?

Dante

Of course I'm game.

Shiv

Man where do I begin. TJ is back, aka the GOAT host of reality television. I always get a smile on my face when Teej is shown, considering he survived death. I mean the dude was put in a coma for like 30 days after he crashed doing a stunt on a dirt bike and LIVED. In terms of obstacles in life TJ “killed it” and there is nothing else that can be said.

I know you don’t watch the Real World anymore (the show that provides as a feeder system to the Challenge along with Fresh Meat) and you may not know all of the cast members, but I do, so I know everyone on the show. I have no reasoning to watch the Real World anymore, but with DVR and On Demand, it is hard to pass up on people acting like idiots. Plus I have been watching the Real World since the first season, so it is basically in my blood.

The Challenge this season embarks on the country of Thailand and the city (jungle, island?) of Phucket. I love the randomness of these places, MTV never lets us down. The cast of characters this season made me giddy when the trailer leaked a few months back. Anytime you can get CT onto a show you know it is going to be a homerun. Ct is to the Challenge as Mike Tyson is to boxing….. the Mike Tyson that would eat people’s ears. CT has #NRFHL, he might be the definition of #NRFHL. He is paired with Wes who instantly makes them the best team in the game. The thing with CT though is that he can be ranked 1, but you never know if he is going to kill somebody and get booted off the show. MTV has become lenient on fighting as of late, so unless CT eats someone (not out of the question) these two will be fine.

Guys Power Rankings with a brief thought on each:

1. CT/Wes – Wes seems to have gotten off his steroid cycle, he is leaner (nh) and that might hurt him, but he has CT so it doesn’t matter.
2. Johnny/Frank – The most diabolical team I have ever seen created. The fact these two dudes have never been on a show together is amazing. This is RIVALS god damn it. How are they together?!? Simple, TWITTER BEEF. I had to pause the show for a second because I was laughing so hard, I couldn’t control myself. Then I had to slow mo the tweet history of these two. Johnny is salty because Frank is claiming a movement called the Rookie Revolution. I don’t even have to say anything after that.
3. Zach/Trey – Thor and the little guy. You will go far with Thor. Simple.
4. Leroy/Ty – Too athletic and they will bang multiple females, each.
5. Marlon/Jordan – Real World Portland. These two don’t really have beef, but MTV had to do something. Marlon played football at Texas Tech so you can expect them to go far. Marlon also had sex with a cheerleader at Texas Tech. The cheerleader was a dude though. He is not gay though. I still don’t understand the whole ordeal and I would rather move on.
6. Derrick/Robb – I don’t care
7. Knight/Preston – How can they win any physical challenge? Preston is so weak and feminine. Knight can only win by being a dick. Which is 100% guaranteed.
8. Dunbar/Tyree – How does Tyree get booted in the first or second episode each season? He is built like a D Linemen and he knows karate. THE MOTHER FUCKER KNOWS KARATE!

Will CT and Wes be able to "bury the beef"?

I don’t really give a shit about the girl’s teams because with Emily, you know who is going to win. She is pretty, but she is a cyborg. She is bigger than every girl and I think she might be better than half of the guys. It isn’t a fair playing field with her involved, so I will give my thoughts in no particular order on each girl instead:

1. Emily – Cyborg
2. Paula – She will follow the Paula Walnuts script to Challenges: get wasted (every episode), cry (every other episode), and bang someone (possibly more than one dude). She has NRFHOL.
3. Jasmine – I have never seen such a ratchet weave in my life. She looks like an idiot with that Pocahontas hair lmao.
4. Joanna – She will bang her way to the final challenge. No doubt in my mind. This is a lock of life.
5. Diem – I can’t say anything bad about her. I am proud of her for fighting cancer for so long and beating it multiple times (it has came back again before the taping of this show). However, beating cancer once is not her biggest accomplishment in life. Taming CT and making him a softie is obviously the biggest.
6. Anastasia – RW Portland. She sucked on the season, because she would cry and talk about her boyfriend the whole time. On the reunion of the show she revealed her boyfriend had an addiction problem, which wasn’t shown, so I give her a pass. Plus she lost weight and got a haircut and is looking FINE AF.
7. Jessica – RW Portland. Sucked on the show. Seems like a nice girl, crazy annoying. Fits the mold of the annoying cheerleader who organized stupid shit in high school.
8. Aneesa – OG. Good for a fight, winning an elimination challenge, and getting drunk.
9. Camilla – Sexy. Accent. Insane. Good for TV.
10. Sarah – I hate how she talks out the side of her mouth. It is so fucking annoying.
11. Trishelle – Original SLORE of the Challenges. Stopped whoring, don’t know why. She lost the only thing that made her interesting.

I don’t give a shit about the others. Maybe eventually I will.

What were your early thoughts?

Dante

Where does this love for TJ come from?  He has no personality to speak of, and never says more than, "alright, you killed it," That is until someone doesn't try or throws an event.  TJ is the master of callouts, and will put these schemers in their places.  That is the only time I really like him in his role as host.

Sadly like you Shivam, I am as addicted to the history of this series as Anastasia's ex-boyfriend is to booze/drugs.  After a CT-less season in last fall's "The Challenge: Battle of the Seasons," the most dominant force this show has ever seen returned, and did not disappoint. Choking out dudes in the pool, performing throat slashing motions to entire groups while peering through a window, and using his alpha male status to hook up with a rookie, all while reigniting the flame with the love of his life, Diem. Wow.  I'm anxiously awaiting any kind of showdown with Zach. With last fall's addition of THOR as you have dubbed him, CT is no longer the biggest physical specimen on the show, and it will be interesting to see if he can maintain alpha male status.

Speaking of THOR, you would think this meat-head would have learned last year that he needs to let his teammate be the brains, and he can just be the brawn.  If they would have gone with Zach's plan, they would have lost, flat out.  After going with Trey's plan, they won the first week's challenge, and proved that if these two can get along, they have an outside chance of taking it this year.

My one criticism of your power rankings is that I think Marlon/Jordan can be bumped up as high as #2.  Frank proved last season that having sex with guys does not mean you can't dominate The Challenge. Wake boarder/NCAA football player combo gives them the athletic talent to win this, but more importantly Marlon deserves love for going in like a new prisoner at the penitentiary, and going right after CT in that pool brawl.  We saw the "revolutionary" waves rookies made last season, and this team could win this if they quickly adapt to the slimy scheming ways needed to make it to the finals.

And nobody knows how to scheme better than Johnny Bananas.  Great to see this scum-bag back.  I can't wait to see what Johnny and Frank cook up once they bury their Twitter beef, and come together as a team.  Frank came in last season and had the greatest rookie season of all time using the classic Johnny tactics of fake alliances and screw jobs.

With regards to the females, I agree with your assumption that Emily will most likely dominate.  It seems like the producers just gave up and provided no physical matchup for the "Cyborg." I guess the other diesel broads from past seasons like Laurel or Rachel have moved on with their lives, unlike Paula.  Paula is the all-time leader in challenge appearances at 10, even though she is the opposite of athletic and unlikable.  Has this girl ever declared income from a real job?  I don't know if I should consider her a no-talent loser, or be jealous of her.  With that said, I still believe the ladies deserve a power ranking.

Girls Power Rankings:

1. Emily/Paula - As previously stated, Emily's combination of size, fitness, and athleticism make them the team to beat. Her crafty veteran partner could help with mind games, keeping them in alliances and out of the Jungle.  Never underestimate Paula's ability to use her implants to seduce votes from young, unsuspecting males.
2. Sarah/Trishelle - Two former finalists on a team can't be overlooked.
3. Cooke/????? - If Cooke's original partner Naomi wasn't forced to go home to be by her dying father's bedside, this team would be ranked much lower.  Naomi, the prissy Dominican girl from the Bronx would have brought nothing to the show but a continuation of her loveless hookups with Leroy. Now that Naomi is gone, the arrival of a quality substitute teammate could send this team quickly to #2. Cooke is the only girl big and athletic enough to compete with Emily.  A D-1 soccer player and member of the Philippine national team, she could end up being the rival we are all looking for. Who will be the substitute? I thought I saw Wes's ex-wife Johanna in one of the previews. I hope I was right.  A little more drama is always welcome.
4. Aneesa/Diem - Two battle tested vets. Aneesa has always had the perfect combination of size and crazy.
5. Camila/Jemmye - The loudmouthed foreigner may not have size, but has an amazing record in challenges.  She's also got a history of being Johnny's stooge. This could help or hurt her depending on how well Banana's schemes are working.
6. Jonna/Nani - Weak, but deserve respect for nearly winning week 1.
7. Jasmine/Theresa - Theresa is an emotionless beast, but sadly for her, she is paired with a 90 lb. sociopath.
8. Jessica/Anastasia - Can't really understand Anastasia being on this show. She is two feet taller than Jasmine, but weighs about the same amount.  Like Preston, she is too feminine and too skinny to survive very long on the Island.

That's how I saw week 1.  The preview montage at the end of the episode has me looking forward to more action.  Loved someone dropping the name "Trashelle" in a fight, and it looked like we might see CT in that tunnel elimination.  I can't see how MTV's producers wouldn't make that happen.

Shiv

Jesus Christ Dante I didn't know you had FBI profiles on these people lol. Good shit. I need to focus on how awesome CT was this episode. First off, if you were to sit and watch the show with someone who has no clue about what is going on and doesn't know anybody on the show (like I did) you can tell them to focus on CT and be in awe of his awesomeness. He started a fight for no reason, fought two dudes at once and won (lmao), hooked up with his ex, then he preyed on a rookie and probably boinked her if I was a betting man. They even did a close up of him when he was about to jump off the ledge, looking like a bull about to attack a matador. CT is the GOAT, you can't even game plan for him one on one you have to attack him with like 6 teams. Truly a force of nature. Thor is scared of CT, thoughts on that? Also is the CT/Leroy bromance the coolest bromance around? Obama/Jay Z is close.

CT will eat you and then take your woman with NRFHL

Dante

Dude I could not believe how much air CT got on that first jump, considering how huge he is. He looked like Wolverine soaring through the air with his claws out. Thor should be afraid. Still, you got to think if they ever have to lock horns in an elimination, that fear will go away and we will have a fight for the ages. Great move by Leroy linking up with the legend. Not playing the political side of this game cost him in a past season. He knew he would never be absorbed into a Frank/Johnny alliance, so he finally found a team to ride with. This bromance is nice, but coolest around right now? I don't know? Everyone's talking about Gerard Butler and Bradley Cooper at Wimbledon. Your thoughts on Tyree passing out while dropping a deuce? Something I have somehow never seen, or done before. And what is going on with CT and Diem? I thought they were getting back together, and then he's off in the corner with Bird's (Anastasia) long legs wrapped around him. I don't think he crushed it though, do you? He has a history of flirting and making out with these newbies for votes, but never letting it get serious

Shiv

I remember CT banging that busty Shavoun on a roof one season... think about how dangerous that is. I think he might have beat up that gay dude from the Denver Real World season the same night and got sent home for it. Lmao, what a maniac. CT and Diem have so much history that I think they will always be in love, but she realizes that he has NRFHL and that you cant stop him, you can only hope to contain him.

In regards to Tyree passing out while taking a dump, I expect nothing less from him. What was lost in that whole debacle was someone going up to him and saying "this is what white people do when you pass out on the shitter" and proceeded to put his bare ass on Tyree's face and farted on him. Tyree's nose touched the butt crack that is known as a Koala Yummy from where I am from (picture a koala, now picture a human that had their nose up a butt crack). Kudos to whoever that was.

Tyree and Dunbar were in the elimination chamber vs Derek and Robb in a challenge where two people battle in the middle of a tunnel structure for position while the other two partners run by and try to ring the opponent's bell on the other side. Mind you Tyree and Dunbar are about a combined 500 pounds of pure muscle, while Derek and Robb are about a combined 300 pounds (if that). Any meathead (or human being with a brain) would know that all you have to do is run by the other team and either plow them over or pick them up and carry them with you. Somehow they lost the first out of three rounds. In the second Dunbar dives for the bell (he is clearly ahead btw) and misses. Derek rings the bell before Dunbar can get up and ring it in a second attempt. They go to the judges to confirm because it was so close and Tyree and Dunbar are sent packing. What happens next might be the greatest ending to an elimination chamber ever (give me your thoughts on this as well).

Tyree is left in disbelief on how Dunbar could have lost this challenge and is walking around saying "Dawg Dawg, Naw Dawg, how could we lose this, Dawg!" Meanwhile Dunbar is standing there with his arms folded and somehow blames Tyree for all of this and stares directly into the camera (I don’t know if this was a scheduled interview or if he just started talking) and says "we would have lost anyways because Tyree is good for nothing. So I don't give a fuck. I am going home because I would have gone home in the next challenge anyways. Tyree is a waste of fucking space." That right there is the greatest act of being a sore loser as I have ever seen in challenge history. I was in disbelief of what transpired.

Adios fellas, it was real, mad real

 Dunbar is a fucking idiot for not beating the living shit out of Derek in that run by. There was no excuse on Earth for losing that elimination and I guarantee if CT or Thor ever take part in that challenge that bodies will be hitting the floor. That challenge is basically intended to inflict punishment and cause a concussion. If we are only so lucky to see a CT vs Thor runway challenge I predict we will see a collision so big that the earth core will move, triggering an earthquake, which will then cause a massive tsunami to engulf Phucket, Thailand.

Dante

Koala Yummy!  LOL

I was glad to see Dunbar go in the disgraceful punk ass manner that he did.  He has a long history of acting like a piece of shit.  We are talking about the guy who once told his roommate/mistress Ashley that he hated her, and didn't care if she died.  Dude is from another planet.

Shiv

Haha I want to keep this talk up, but we can turn this into a weekly discussion. I will see if we can get some others to join. Good talk bruh.

Dante

Now that I know this is going on, I will be taking notes (JK, or am I).
