    we are laughing at Trent Reznor's engagement to
    Mariqueen Mandig

    US magazine are fools,

    everyone knows Trent Reznor is pulling this stunt to save his dying career and to get fans interests back

    after 3/4 of them went away two days before they announced the engagement,
    and his tour starts in 3 days.

    They met on twitter 6 days ago and she openly does drugs.

    this is simply hilarious news to share
