Octomom Offered Free Blowouts From Hairdresser Amid Welfare Backlash

Brazilian Blowout, the company behind the hairstyling Octomom recently spent hundreds of dollars on while on welfare, is apparently as mortified by her antics as everyone else, and offering to make it right with free blowouts from now on.

The company wants to reimburse Nadya Suleman the entire cost of her recent blowouts - plus other hair treatments - that she spent $520 on.

While under investigation by DCFS for horrific living conditions, natch.

Such reckless spending and inability to earn enough money to take care of her offspring has some wondering if Octomom should lose her kids.

With that in mind, Brazilian Blowout wants to help a girl out.

CEO Mike Brady says, "We want to make sure California taxpayers' money is not going to anything other than taking care of [Nadya Suleman's] kids. We don't want to see those children miss out on anything at the cost of a Brazilian Blowout."

BB also wants to give Octomom free blowouts and cover the cost of a sitter while the mother of 14 is gets primped. They feel so bad about taking her money, they're even offering to fix her toilet, which might allow her kids to drop a D inside.

The stuff of dreams, right there.

Should Octo lose her kids?

Samsung Puts Its New Exynos Chip on the Table

In a move that would be akin to unveiling an automobile's new engine in advance of an auto show, Samsung on Thursday introduced its new 1.4 GHz Exynos 4 Quad processor for smartphone and tablet devices. While the company did not say which devices would first use the processor -- which is based on the ARM Cortex A9 chip -- it announced that it would power the "next Galaxy" device.

Linkin Park, Incubus Prep Their 'Dragon Pants' For Honda Civic Tour

Co-headlining tour kicks off August 11, and Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd is making plans for an Iron Maiden-inspired show.

Last week, Linkin Park not only announced the title and release date of their new album — it's called Living Things, and it's due June 26, to catch you up — but they revealed plans to co-headline this summer's Honda Civic Tour, alongside Incubus.

The trek kicks off August 11, and, somewhat unbelievably (given both acts' longevity), it'll be the first time the two bands have teamed up — though they've been kicking the idea around for a while now. Or, at least that's how LP's Chester Bennington and Incubus' Brandon Boyd remember it. Though, to be fair, their memories aren't exactly crystal-clear.

"I remember Mike Shinoda had run into Mike [Einziger] from Incubus, and off the cuff said, 'Yeah, we should go out, do a big tour together,' but whether or not that was the beginning phase of doing this, I'm not sure — it could have been eight months ago, I don't know, time to me is kind of weird," Bennington laughed. "But we'd been talking about doing something really great in the U.S. and going out with another really amazing band that does very well on their own, and that's how this came about. And luckily, for the first time in our careers, we'll have the chance to get to know each other. I think a lot of people just sort of assume we all hang out together."

"Yeah, people think rockers just hang out together. Like we meet at 'rock bars' or something," Boyd added. "This tour is just going to be the beginning. We're going to start a comedy troupe next."

And if they're really considering going Groundlings once the Honda Civic Tour wraps, well, Incubus are already taking appropriately hilarious steps by tapping into the gaudy, bong-glazed glory of Iron Maiden's set designs. At least, that's if Maiden are willing to play ball.

"We've been trying for many, many years — and I'm actually not joking right now, I'm really serious — to borrow Iron Maiden's set from [the] Seventh Son of a Seventh Son [Tour]," Boyd said. "They always had the coolest, raddest productions, with Stonehenge-type things and giant walking zombies and stairs and pyramids you can climb. They have all that stuff in storage, and our production manager worked with them years ago, so every time before we go do a tour, he asks if we could borrow some of their sets. Imagine coming onto a stage out of one of the Pyramids of Giza, with smoke coming out of it and a giant walking zombie going 'Ha ha ha ... keep rocking, Brandon. Keep on rocking, Chester.' "

"That would be so rad. That makes me excited. I wanna see that," Bennington laughed. "The thought of you running around in, like, dragon pants, or maybe flying like Bruce Dickinson. I'm totally ready for this tour to start now."

Snooki is preparing for motherhood. And that process will all be captured on television through her forthcoming reality show with "Jersey Shore" bestie JWoww. When Seaside's favorite meatball found out she was going to be a mom, it added a whole new set of ups and downs for the ladies to navigate on the show.

"When we film, it's all about reality and what's going on in our life," she told MTV News at the MTV Upfront in New York City on Thursday while premiering the "Snooki & JWOWW" trailer. "So it's not like we're going in there and staging things. It's what's really going on in our life. It just so happens that I got pregnant while [we were filming].

"I mean, obviously, it wasn't planned, so it was a surprise," she added. "But you'll see on the spin-off, my first trimester, me telling all my friends and just everything that's going on with the first trimester."

Snooki even said she's got a few boy and girl names picked out already. Even though she wouldn't get into name specifics, she did say that she would hardly be going about motherhood alone. She's got not only her pals, but also her fiancé, Jionni LaValle, to support her. And, it seems that everyone is dedicated to making it work.

"I was very excited [when we found out]. I don't know if was more excited for what's to come or the fact that we finally moved in together," JWoww said. "But it's not a dull moment. All of us, all eight of us [are going to help out]. It's gonna have a lot of aunts and uncles."

Their pal Pauly D, who has been supportive of Snooki's growing family from the beginning, agreed that he wants to be there for the baby. He added, "We will take care of this baby with her."
