They dragged it out for two hours, bur Nik Wallenda finally picked up his balance bar, put on his gas mask, and walked across the gaping, steaming mouth of the active Masaya Volcano in Nicaragua — which is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. Nik said he spent the last 6 or 7 years preparing for this, visiting different volcanos and practicing walking on a high-wire with a smoke machine going full blast. And after all that preparation, it was over in 31 minutes. Yes, Nik was wearing a safety harness and the internet is ticked about it. But let’s be honest, some people wouldn’t have considered this a great stunt unless Nik actually fell face first into the boiling lava.

Jayden Federline went rogue on his Instagram Live, promising to give lots of scoop about his mom if he got 5000 followers. His mom happens to be Britney Spears. During the live Q&A, somebody asked Jayden if he was going to get in trouble with his dad, but he said his dad wouldn’t care, adding, “I have the best dad ever. My dad’s literally Jesus.” Well, Kevin Federline did care. His attorney released a statement saying that Jayden’s Instagram rant was “the result of a 13-year-old acting like a 13-year-old” and that Kevin is treating this as a serious “family matter.” All we know is, Jayden’s Instagram is now set to private.
