Woman in Fight with Roommate Over Whether a Home Needs Both a Roomba and a Regular Vacuum
'Most of the time, it just bonks around like a lost toddler at IKEA until someone takes pity on it and turns it around,' the woman saidNEED TO KNOW A woman moved into a shared apartment with two roommates who agreed to share cleaning responsibilities However, she was left unimpressed when one of her roommates began using a Roomba instead of a regular vacuum cleaner 'It doesn't have a hose, can't clean corners or high surfaces, and doesn't work for any kind of mess,' she saidA woman who recently moved into an apartment in Boston with three other PhD students is unsure if she 'overstepped' after buying a vacuum cleaner without discussing it first. On Monday, July 28, the woman explained in a post on Reddit's "Am I The A--hole" forum that she is living with two other women in their mid-twenties, whom she didn't know before moving in. She said they all discussed splitting up the responsibility of keeping the apartment clean prior to the arrangement. However, she was unaware that the vacuum one of her roommates would be bringing was a Roomba. The woman said robot vacuums are ideal for light maintenance if used frequently, but are unsuitable for vacuuming the entire apartment. 'It doesn't have a hose, can't clean corners or high surfaces, and doesn't work for any kind of mess,' she explained. Complaining about her roommate, the woman continued, 'She also only wants to run it every other week, which doesn't really keep up with the dust and dirt of three people. 'The Roomba also hasn't mapped the apartment well due to its infrequent use,' she said. 'Most of the time, it just bonks around like a lost toddler at IKEA until someone takes pity on it and turns it around.' The woman said that when she tried to discuss her concerns with her roommate, the Roomba owner disagreed on the need to have a separate regular vacuum cleaner. In an attempt to avoid an argument, the woman said she bought her own regular vacuum that had a bag and an allergy filter to use in her bedroom and shared areas. 'When I brought it home, she was annoyed and said I had gone behind her back and broken our agreement,' the woman said of her roommate. 'I didn't see it that way, and shared that I'm not asking anyone else to use it or share costs. I just wanted to be able to clean the apartment to a level that works for me." 'Our other roommate said she doesn't really have a preference and doesn't care, so it seems like she is currently steering clear of this,' she continued. 'There's no blame or fault to be found in her at all; I totally understand why she might want to stay neutral."

'I don't want to be the problem roommate, but now I'm wondering if I overstepped. AITA [am I the a--hole?],' the woman asked. Responses to the post reassured the woman that her views on the Roomba were fair. One person said her roommate was 'acting like a child,' while another argued there should be no issue with the addition of the vacuum because the Roomba can still be used. 'This is absurd. You are allowed to buy whatever you want for your shared apartment. Roommate sounds like a problem now and future,' someone else chimed in.

Rod Stewart Shows A.I Images of Ozzy Osbourne In Heaven With Dead Music Icons During Concert Tribute
British singer-songwriter Sir Rod Stewart caused a stir at his concert on Aug. 1, when he projected A.I. images of the late Ozzy Osbourne posing next to deceased musicians in heaven. Ever since Osbourne's death on July 22, Stewart has been dedicating his hit song 'Forever Young' to the Black Sabbath frontman at shows along his 'One Last Time' tour. Conventionally, Stewart would sing the sentimental ballad with images of Osbourne projected behind him in an affectionate tribute.

While the song's accompanying images started as standard shots of Osbourne, they eventually evolved into A.I. generated visuals of the rocker posing with the likes of Prince, Tina Turner, Bob Marley, Freddie Mercury, Kurt Cobain, George Michael and Amy Winehouse, all standing on cloudy and celestial backdrops to suggest a heavenly afterlife. The show also featured A.I. videos of Osbourne next to late controversial figures such as Michael Jackson and XXXTentacion. According to Rolling Stone, at a show in Charlotte, N.C. a few days prior, Stewart ended the song, saying, 'Very sad. A lot of those people died 'cause of drugs… I'm still here, though!' Stewart's audience appeared understandably puzzled at the performance, with several of the concertgoers sharing their baffled reactions on social media. On the day of Osbourne's death, Stewart posted on Instagram, stating, 'Bye, bye Ozzy. I'll see you up there— later rather than sooner.' The singer is yet to make a statement regarding the controversial images, as his tour continues across the United States through early October and then heads to Europe.

Jesse Metcalfe Regrets Skipping ‘Entourage' Audition: 'I Blew That One'
Although Jesse Metcalfe made his TV heartthrob debut on ABC's Desperate Housewives in 2004, he missed a chance to break out that year on HBO. The actor recently recounted 'auditioning for Adrian Grenier's role' as movie star Vincent Chase in the hit 6x Emmy-winning Doug Ellin series Entourage, which ran for eight seasons from 2004 to 2011 before culminating in a 2015 big screen offshoot. More from Deadline Rom-Com 'You, Always' Wraps Production In Queensland, Stars Adrian Grenier & Jessica De Gouw 'Boris Is Dead': Steven Bauer, Cam Gigandet, Thomas Dekker, Jesse Metcalfe, Martin & Jesse Kove Among Cast Additions To Indie Movie 'The Yogurt Shop Murders' Director On Revisiting The Tragic Case After More Than 30 Years: "It Was Just Such A World Of Darkness" 'I had an audition for Entourage, and I read the pilot episode, and I was like, 'This is stupid,' and I didn't go to the audition,' he admitted to People. 'Obviously, I had no idea what I was talking about,' added Metcalfe. 'That ended up being an iconic show that I absolutely love, and definitely wish I was a part of.' Entourage ultimately starred Grenier as Vincent, a newly-minted Hollywood star who migrates west from Queens, NY with his brother Drama (Kevin Dillon), best friend E (Kevin Connelly) and pal Turtle (Jerry Ferrara). The foursome acclimates to LA life with help from Vincent's agent Ari (Jeremy Piven). The series was a pre-The Studio hit that took frequent shots at the industry with help from a laundry list of Hollywood cameos and guest stars that include Martin Scorsese, EP Mark Wahlberg, Tom Brady, Pharrell Williams, Scarlett Johansson, Matt Damon, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, James Cameron, LeBron James, Mandy Moore, Jessica Alba, Christina Aguilera, Bob Saget, David Arquette, Seth Green, Mike Tyson, Mark Cuban, George Takei, Kelsey Grammer, Liam Neeson, Armie Hammer and Emily Ratajkowski. 'I blew that one,' Metcalfe lamented. 'Sometimes you gotta say no, but that was the wrong one. It taught me that I don't know everything.' The John Tucker Must Die star explained that he's since become 'absolutely' more 'likely to audition' for roles ever since that misjudgment. 'I've been auditioning for what it feels like is everything lately,' said Metcalfe.
