Did Robin Thicke Grab a Girl's Backside While Posing for a Picture With Her?
We don't know where or when this picture was taken, but it's pretty incriminating. ROBIN THICKE posed with a woman in front of a mirror. But maybe he didn't KNOW they were in front of a mirror.
Because if he DID know, he probably wouldn't have grabbed a HANDFUL OF HER BACKSIDE . . . because he would have realized that mirror would betray him.

The "VMAs" Came in Third in the Ratings
The MTV "Video Music Awards" and "Duck Dynasty" were the top two shows on cable last week. "Duck Dynasty" had 4,000 more viewers, but both shows attracted an audience of 10.1 million people.
That's a decent audience for the VMAs, but still well below the record-setting audience of 12.4 million from two years ago. Meanwhile, "Under the Dome" reclaimed the top spot on our ratings, with 10.6 million viewers. Here are last week's Top 10 shows . . .
