Friday Morning News Feed: Scott Weiland, Snow Lady, Vancouver, Virgin Galactic, Flesh + Fitness

December 4, 2015 by Andy Towle Leave a Comment

Scott WeilandDEATHS: Scott Weiland of the Stone Temple Pilots has died: “Weiland was on tour with his band Scott Weiland & The Wildabouts … they were supposed to play the Medina Ballroom tonight, but the show was cancelled. A source connected to the band tells us Scott was found Thursday night on the bus around 9 PM. Police surrounded the bus, which was parked outside a motel in the town of Bloomington, MN. The Hennepin County Coroner now has Weiland’s body. The former lead singer for Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver famously battled substance abuse for years. We’re told he died in his sleep but it’s unclear what caused his death. Scott was 48.”

9375509_GWHERE’S SYED? How the San Bernardino shooting unfolded: “At some point after the first hour, Farook got up and left his papers on the table and his jacket on the back of his chair. “Where’s Syed?” Baccari remembered someone at the table asking, and then a little while later Farook was back, this time with his wife, two assault rifles, two handguns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.”

Edith WindsorLGBT EQUALITY DAY: A Congressional resolution would designate June 26: “A group of 94 U.S. House Democrats led by Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.) introduced on Thursday a congressional resolution that would designate June 26 as ‘LGBT Equality Day.’ The day selected for the occasion marks the anniversary of three monumental U.S. Supreme Court decisions in favor of gay rights: Lawrence v. Texas, the 2003 ruling striking down state sodomy bans; Windsor v. United States, the 2013 ruling against Section 3 of the anti-gay Defense of Marriage Act; and Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 ruling striking down state bans on same-sex marriage.”

SPACE: Virgin Galactic wants to use a 747 to launch satellites: Branson: “The Boeing 747 has a very special place in my heart: we began service on my first airline, Virgin Atlantic, with just one leased 747. I never imagined that today one of our 747s would get a second chance and help open access to space.”

AhmadianVANCOUVER: Manager of popular gay nightclub sent private investigator to investigate, photograph rival’s sex party, leaked findings to local newspaper: “Bijan Ahmadian runs the Odyssey nightclub, which is bankrolled by media-shy entrepreneur Peter Allard, son of the late, legendary media magnate Charles ‘Doc’ Allard. The pair reopened the Odyssey this year, after the club’s original premises were torn down. Business at their new location was good, until the Vancouver Arts and Leisure Society (VAL) began hosting ‘no-holes-barre’ sex parties at informal venues, under the auspices of a new city of Vancouver “arts events licence” program.”

JAPAN: Assemblyman asked to resign after calling gay people “abnormal”: “The nonbinding resolution, adopted by the Ebina Municipal Assembly, says Masumi Tsurusashi’s comments were a grave infringement of human rights and greatly hurt the trust in and dignity of the assembly…He posted on Twitter early Sunday that the mass media were irresponsible for carrying articles that commended gay people. In one tweet, he called gay people ‘abnormal animals.'”
