Man's Search for a Wife Includes White House Trespassing Arrest, 2 Bottles of Crown Royal – Splinter

Donald Trump has had three wives, which, to a certain kind of person, may seem like an indication that he is good at finding wives. Take this Canadian man, for instance, who tried to gain access to the White House just after midnight on Wednesday morning while brandishing two bottles of whiskey, hoping to get the president’s help in finding a wife.
He was, of course, not successful.
The man, identified as Yianny Georgopoulos in arrest reports, was arrested after “physically moving a security barrier” blocking a restricted area of the White House grounds. In an interview with authorities after his arrest, Georgopoulos said that he “wanted help from the president to find a wife” and admitted to stalking his cousin and “threatening family members” back in Canada.
There are a few problems with this plan, the primary one being that while the offering of Crown Royal is nice and all, Trump doesn’t drink. Also, the Secret Service doesn’t usually like people trying to just stop by and say hi to the president.

Other than that, it might have worked—Trump would absolutely love to tell this dude the secret to marrying women that almost undoubtedly hate you. Maybe just write a letter next time though!

Seungri's scandal advice for Black Pink regains attention following Jennie's dating news – allkpop
Big Bang Seungri‘s word of advice is regaining attention following Jennie‘s dating news.
In an episode of SBS‘ ‘My Ugly Duckling‘ that aired back in July, Seungri provided tips on how to handle scandals to junior YG group Black Pink.
First, Seungri said, “Did you guys ever have any scandals or rumors? Well, after a few years of activities, you guys will definitely go through some scandals. It’s unavoidable. Without even expecting them, they just come! You wake up in the morning and you find 320 text messages on your phone – something’s definitely gone wrong.“
The veteran idol then said, “You can talk to the guy you are interested in. I mean, you have to love in order to sing love songs. But don’t get caught! Oppa got caught every time but you guys shouldn’t.”
Jisoo asked, “Do you get scolded by the boss (Yang Hyun Suk) if there’s a scandal?” Seungri revealed you get called up to the 6th or 7th floor. He said, “6th and 7th floor are different. You don’t know but the scolding level on the 6th floor is alright. You get a lecture and go back home. But the 7th floor, I always wear thick clothes when I go up there.”
He continued, “I’ll give a tip just in case you guys ever go to the 7th floor. The moment you go in there, check what shoes he’s wearing. If he’s wearing soft slippers then it’s good.”
Seungri added, “I’ll also let you know how to cope with the boss,” and Jennie said, “I think I need to know that.” Seungri continued that you must start with compliments. Jennie brought laughter as she said, “Let’s write this down.”
Meanwhile, Jennie is no longer “Solo” as it was confirmed that she is dating EXO‘s Kai.
