Harassed boyfriend jumped to his death after his girlfriend insisted on going into another clothes shop
A man jumped to his death after a furious row with his girlfriend who insisted they go into another clothes shop.
CCTV shows Tao Hsiao, 38, escorting his girlfriend around a shopping mall in Xuzhou, Jiangsu
province, east China.
After five hours Tao finally had enough and demanded to go home.
An eyewitness said: ‘He told her she already had enough shoes, more shoes that she could wear in a
lifetime and it was pointless buying any more.
‘She started shouting at him accusing him of being a skinflint and of spoiling Christmas, it was a really heated argument.’
The shouting match ended when the man chucked the bags on the floor and jumped over the balcony, smashing into Christmas decorations on his way down before hitting the floor seven stories below causing shocked shoppers to flee in panic.
Emergency services arrived at the scene but Tao was killed immediately from the impact of the fall.
A shopping spokesman said: ‘His body was removed fairly quickly.
‘He actually landed on one of the stalls below and then fell to the floor so although the store was damaged it meant he didn’t hit anybody.
‘This is a tragic incident, but this time of year can be very stressful for many people.’
Selena Gomez was so displeased when her performance at the 2013 Jingle Ball concert went awry Friday (Dec. 6) that she cursed and stormed off the stage before finishing her set.
The 21-year-old singer took to the Staples Center stage in Los Angeles Friday night to perform in KIIS FM’s annual holiday show. Things did not go as planned when her audio and microphone malfunctioned, and Gomez was heard cursing, according to E! News.
“She for sure said ‘what the f–k,’ … You could hear it crystal clear,” a concertgoer told E! News. The source added that it “looked like” Gomez was lip-synching and “she was messing around with her ear piece from the first song so you knew something wasn’t right.”
The former Disney star attempted to ease the situation by chatting with the audience in between songs.
“Sorry, the sound isn’t working!” Gomez told the crowd, which was mostly filled with children, according to Us Weekly. “Are you guys having a good night? I promise, a lot cooler people are gonna come out tonight. Is it okay if I perform two more songs and you guys can get to it? … I have to say that before you guys go on to the people that you care about, I really appreciate you supporting everything that I do. So this next song is the first song I had hit No. 1, and it’s called ‘Come & Get It.'”
She reportedly promised to sing two more songs, but instead dropped her mic and walked off stage, Celebuzz reported.
Singer Ariana Grande also had technical difficulties when she performed “Right There” later in the night. She apologized to the crowd, according to Rolling Stone saying, “I’m sorry the mix was off the entire time. At least you know I’m not tracked.” This was apparently a dig at Gomez.
What’s beef? Freddie Gibbs can answer that question just fine, since he still has a bone to pick with his former boss Jeezy.
CTE’s lost rap prodigy took to Twitter early Sunday morning with a message for the Snowman. “I blow jeezy f kennedy head off one one of these new records. #ESGN,” read his first tweet. That was followed by a harsher message, stating “On 5 all y’all rap ni**az don’t want the fade wit Freddie Kane.”
Following two more messages, we now know that Gibbs hasn’t buried the hatchet with Jeezy. Since parting ways with CTE, Gangsta Gibbs has been vocal about how his situation was mishandled and that the Atlanta rapper didn’t have his best interests in mind.
Jeezy hasn’t spoken much on the topic. He has, however, refocused his energy on rebuilding his clique by acquiring Compton’s YG and Detroit’s Doughboyz Cashout.
There’s no word on where Gibbs’ forthcoming Jeezy diss will land, but the MC is currently prepping he and Madlib’s collaborative album, Piñata, for a February 4 release.
Thanks to the audacity he has displayed in prior interviews and the outrageous quotes they tend to generate, some people will believe anything they’re told Kanye West said. That happened late last week when a fake Yeezy interview where the rapper said he was the next Nelson Mandela fooled many. On Friday (Dec. 6), “The Daily Currant” ran a fake interview with Kanye West saying he thinks he is “the next Nelson Mandela.” The fake and definitely not real interview (the Currant describes itself as “The Global Satirical Newspaper of Record”) included such quotes as “Mandela was working in South Africa, which has, like what, six people? I started my magic here in the USA and then I took my business global” and “I liberate minds with my music. That’s more important than liberating a few people from apartheid or whatever.” Yeah, it was pretty disrespectful. And a lot of people thought it was real. And those same people got really angry … and wanted to put Kanye in prison “to make sure” he’s the next Mandela. Most of them took to Twitter and even linked to the fake and definitely not real article. West has compared himself to Steve Jobs, William Shakespeare and a gang of other notable innovators. So likening his plight to the late, great Nelson Mandela wasn’t too far of a stretch of the imagination. But saying so shortly after the freedom fighter’s passing should have been a red flag to most.
A teen playing the “Knockout Game” in Lansing, Michigan unwittingly targeted a concealed carry permit holder and was shot twice. He survived and is now in jail.
As Breitbart News previously reported, the “Knockout Game” thrives in areas where victims are unarmed. In the “game,” teens approach a stranger on the sidewalk or in an alley and punch the stranger in an attempt to knock him or her out. A punch that results in a knockout scores one point.
WILX in Lansing reported that teenager Marvell Weaver, who is black, tried to knock out a father who was standing at a bus stop waiting for his daughter to arrive. Instead of simply punching the father, Weaver tried a variation on the “game” by trying to taze the man. The taser malfunctioned, and the father pulled a .40 cal handgun and shot the teenager twice.
Weaver admits to previously knocking out six or seven people on other days before targeting the man who shot him. He said being shot by the father at the bus stop was “a lesson learned.”
Weaver is now serving one year in jail.

The bound body of a man apparently beaten and stabbed to death was discovered in the basement of a Queens home Tuesday morning, police say.
Officers responded to a 911 call inside 120-46 131st St. in South Ozone Park just before 5 a.m., according to police. They found the man inside the basement of the home with trauma to the head and several stab wounds to the body.
The man, who is in his 30s, has not been identified. It’s not clear if he lived at the home.
A witness told police a heavyset man wearing a black jacket and dark-colored hat walked down the driveway of the home before officers arrived.
the former neighborhood watch volunteer acquitted in the murder of Trayvon Martin, was arrested on Monday after a domestic disturbance call was made to police. Zimmerman has been transported to the Seminole County Jail and is currently being booked.
The police are not releasing any additional information at this time, although we know that defense attorney Mark O’Mara will not be representing Zimmerman this time around.
TMZ reports:
According to law enforcement sources — which have been involved with the Zimmerman case since day one and have always been reliable — Zimmerman got physical with his girlfriend earlier today, who claimed she was pregnant.
Since she’s pregnant, we’re told the domestic violence charge is automatically listed as a felony. The Seminole County Sheriff’s website says Zimmerman is not eligible for bail.
Law enforcement sources tell us … Zimmerman JUST arrived to a local jail and is currently being booked into the system.
According to reporter Karla Ray of WFTV, the incident involved a gun.
A good source has told me the #Zimmerman disturbance involves his new girlfriend and a gun.

It was just a few days ago that Kendrick Lamar, the self proclaimed “King of New York” was named the “Man Of The Year” by GQ magazine’s but things have now become a little rocky.
Justin Timberlake, Pharrell and Kid Cudi were among the fellas that attended the mag’s “Men Of The Year” party earlier this week but Kendrick was no where to be seen.
According to reports, the rapper was supposed to perform at the event but canceled after reading his interview. Kendrick was absolutely not okay with some statements and decided to boycott the party.
In the cover story, writer Steve Marsh expresses his surprise at Kendrick’s discipline by refusing to drink and womanize like many of his rapper friends.
He wrote:
“Kendrick doesn’t smoke weed or drink booze. In the time I spent with him, I never witnessed anyone roll even the thinnest spider leg of a jay, nor did I see Kendrick so much as glance at the many, many girls around him.”
*raises eyebrow*
Marsh also mentioned the gang violence endemic in K Dot’s hometown of Compton, which has plagued hip-hop.
All of this did not sit well with Kendrick and his camp who believe Marsh romanticized a dark time in hip-hop rather than focusing on Kendrick’s accomplishments in the game. Top Dawg Entertainment CEO Anthony Tiffith tells TMZ:
“To say he was ‘surprised at our discipline’ is completely disrespectful,” said Tiffith. “Kendrick deserved to be accurately documented.”
He added:
“The racial overtones immediately reminded everyone of a time in hip-hop that was destroyed by violence, resulting in the loss of two of our biggest stars [Tupac and B.I.G.] … As a result of this misrepresentation, I pulled Kendrick from his performance at GQ‘s annual ‘Men of the Year’ party.”
Really putting his foot down, he adds:
“While we think it’s a tremendous honor to be named as one of the ‘Men of the Year,’ these lazy comparisons and offensive suggestions are something we won’t tolerate.”
GQ has released a statement responding to the comments of TDE’s CEO, saying:
“Kendrick Lamar is one of the most talented new musicians to arrive on the scene in years. That’s the reason we chose to celebrate him, wrote an incredibly positive article declaring him the next King of Rap, and gave him our highest honor: putting him on the cover of our Men of the Year issue. I’m not sure how you can spin that into a bad thing, and I encourage anyone interested to read the story and see for themselves. We were mystified and sorely disappointed by Top Dawg’s decision to pull him at the last minute from the performance he had promised to give. The real shame is that people were deprived of the joy of seeing Kendrick perform live. I’m still a huge fan.”—Jim Nelson, GQ editor-in-chief.
Kendrick Lamar’s GQ cover story features Lamar discussing his relationship with Drake following the release of Lamar’s “Control” verse.
“On the night of the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, just as the heat over ‘Control’ was peaking, I tailed Kendrick through the backstage maze at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center,” GQ’s Steve Marsh writes. “At one point, he ran into Drake, and they wrapped each other up in a big hug. It was their first encounter since Kendrick called him out on ‘Control,’ and of all the slaps in that verse, this one felt the most personal, because Drake had helped break Kendrick, handing the kid not just a verse but an entire song on his second album. After Drake’s VMA performance of ‘Hold On, We’re Going Home,’ Kendrick made his way back to the greenroom, crooning the hook: I got my eyes on you…. He caught mine and smiled. ‘You watch,’ he joked, ‘I’m going to be singing by my fifth album.’..I asked if this meant things were cool between him and Drake. He paused. ‘Pretty cool.’ Shrugs. ‘And I mean, I would be okay if we weren’t.'”
The article also discusses Lamar’s take regarding Drake’s perception of “Control.”
“I got Kendrick on the phone after the BET taping, and he admitted to being surprised by Drizzy’s public lash-out,” the author writes. “‘Control’ named names, sure, but at its core it was a backhanded tribute to the peers Kendrick actually gives a shit about. Most of them took it in that spirit. Not Drake. ‘Yeah, I guess he took it as a dis,’ Kendrick said, downplaying talk of a beef. But he was also clear that he doesn’t look up to Drake, doesn’t see him as any kind of creative influence. When I asked if Drake was a mentor or a role model, he replied quickly, ‘No—peer. If anything. We all peers.'”
Kendrick Lamar Discusses Dealing With Death Of A Friend
During the article, Lamar also speaks about the death of his friend Chad Keaton, a 23-year-old who was shot and killed in a drive-by near Kendrick’s childhood home recently. Lamar speaks of dealing with a friend’s death while managing a Rap career.
“It can be complicated and confusing,” Kendrick Lamar said. “From my perspective, it’s not just I’m famous. I still live in this world…I still gotta get that phone call.”
In September, Lamar posted a Twitter message and picture about Keaton’s death
