The couple dropped roughly $160,000 on city permits and police presence alone. It was a lockdown event—NDAs were everywhere and phones were strictly banned.

Photos are expected to drop soon.</li><li><strong>Diarrhea &amp; Disturbing Local Crime:</strong> On the health front, a severe explosive diarrhea outbreak has officially spread across 31 states, though the CDC has bizarrely stopped tracking it.
