6 Ugly Things That Happened This Week — Gay Marriage, Toby Keith’s Bus, Hamburg Killing + More

Aaron Hernandez Gets Arrested

Big Stars + Big Movie Filming In WNY
I haven't figured out how to weasel my way into the movie yet. That's the only ugly part. Other than that, this is great news! Stars include Susan Sarandon, Melissa McCarthy, Dan Aykroyd and Kathy Bates.

John Rich Has A Stalker
Mark Christopher Sevier, the man accused of stalking John Rich of Big + Rich despite two restraining orders against him, is excited to see his day in court. Probably because John will be there. Sevier sent Rich a picture that looked like Rich wearing nothing but the American flag. Extra weird part? Sevier is a 36-year-old lawyer. Looks like he's going to need one himself.

Toby Keith's Bus Goes Up In Flames
Bad news? A lot of damage. Burnt to a crisp. Good news? He already has a new one. I mean, he better...he has to be here in three weeks.
