Source: SOPA Images / Getty Early Tuesday morning, much of the Internet was left in shambles when Facebook went down for a ton of users. The social media site went offline, along with Instagram, after having a similar problem over a week ago, according to USA Today . FB users were beginning to question their allegiance to the site, while Twitter users were enjoying the show.

Pledge Your Allegiance To The Diplomats The national anthem is under fire since it was discovered the third verse is a celebration of slavery. Given America’s tenuous relationship with slavery and the current happenings with Colin Kaepernick’s protest, someone came up with a possible solution to this problem. Dero Anthony, he of @DesusAndMero fame, started a petition to change the current national anthem to The Diplomats’ “Dipset Anthem.” Via XXL Ironically enough, the idea of America being the “land of the free” could one day lead to the song those words inhabit no longer being the National Anthem. Recently, a man named Dero Anthony used his freedom of speech to try and do just that. On Friday, Anthony started an online petition to have the Dipset’s eponymous track “Dipset Anthem” replace Francis Scott Key’s “Star Spangled Banner” as the national anthem. “The current National Anthem is BS,” reads Anthony’s very straightforward description for his petition. The petition already has over 1700 signatures. With Anthony’s petition gaining a bit of momentum, we have to wonder how Colin Kaepernick would feel about signing it. After all, it was probably his decision to reject the National Anthem at NFL preseason games that inspired Anthony to create the petition in the first place. “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” Kaepernick said, explaining the motivation behind his controversial protest. “To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.” If you’d like to see the U.S. adopt “Dipset Anthem” as its National Anthem, you can sign the petition here . If the change is made, will you pledge allegiance to the Dips?
Wait… K. Michelle Says She Doesn’t Support Vh1’s “Sorority Sisters” Vh1’s newest reality show “Sorority Sisters” sparked heated outrage from members of pretty much EVERY Divine Nine organization before the opening credits were even done rolling. But what would a sorority member who has already risen to fame via Mona Scott Young-produced drama have to say about it all? While K. Michelle has never made it a secret that she is a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sororty, Inc., she has also engaged in petty drama, loud expletive-laden arguments, and candle-tossing physical fights on Love & Hip Hop Atlanta — so some might be surprised to hear that she has so much disdain for Mona’s newest venture and the women who chose to appear on it. Take a look: Does she have a point?? It’s very true that though she has revealed her allegiance, she never did any of her dirty reality tv deeds in representation of her greek-letter organization. But do you think she has a leg to stand on when she has actively participated in the reality circus?

What in the entire f***?!??! Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are being sued by the wackjob who holds the Guinness book of world records as the most litigious man in the world. Jonathan Lee Riches filed the lawsuit in Northern District of West Virginia on June 21 citing that he stumbled upon a secret Al-Qaeda terrorist meeting where he saw Kim, Kanye, Kris Jenner, Bruce Jenner, Khloe and Kourtney. Riches has stated that he discovered all of the defendants at an Al-Qaeda secret training camp in West Virginia on June 17 where they were allegedly pleading their allegiance to the organization, burning the U.S. flag and stomping on pictures of President Barack Obama. Now we don’t buy all that but the lawsuit is definitely legit. We were able to get the actual copy of the suit itself. The suit gets into details which includes Kanye West selling Air Yeezy 2′s to fund Al-Qaeda. Check out the official copies of the lawsuit below. This has to be the ultimate troll! While Kanye might like to dress up like a Jihadi couture ninja in his videos and Kim may hold weapons of mass destruction in her pants, we heavily doubt these two have teamed up with Al-Qaeda. However, we have a feeling they are still planning total world domination. Source

Actress tells MTV News why ‘NSYNC is her favorite boy band and how Justin Timberlake stole her early-teenage heart. By Christina Garibaldi, with reporting by Kara Warner Selena Gomez Photo: MTV News If there is one thing we have learned in MTV’s Battle of the Boy Bands , it’s that all those boy band fans are extremely dedicated.

Whether it was their boyish good looks or catchy hit songs that hooked them, most people can probably name their favorite boy band of all time. So when we got the opportunity to sit down with Selena Gomez when she was promoting her new fragrance, we had to ask, which boy band stole her heart in her early teens? ” ‘NSYNC all the way, of course,” Gomez revealed. “It was the first for me and then they did that tour with Britney [Spears] and I like lost my mind and will always remember that time in my life.” And when you have a favorite group, you have to have a favorite member, and Gomez’s boy band crush coincidently has the same name as her current beau. “It was Justin Timberlake,” Gomez revealed. “But I think I also, I think I liked Lance Bass as well. … He has pretty eyes.” Unfortunately for Gomez, ‘NSYNC were knocked out in a battle against British boy band 5ive in the first round of competition. Luckily, she can still vote for the new wave of boy bands, The Wanted and One Direction. “It’s cool, that’s kind of awesome that they’re coming back and they legitimately are,” Gomez said of boy bands making a comeback. “I like it.” Voting in round two of MTV’s Battle of the Boy Bands runs until noon ET on Monday, April 30.

Fan-directed video stars grade schooler rapping lyrics to West song. By Gil Kaufman A scene from Ashley Smith’s “Way Too Cold” video Photo: Ashley Smith Films Sometimes there’s no reason to wait for the real thing. We have no idea if Kanye West is planning on shooting an official video for his Kim-Kardashian-crush note “Way Too Cold” (originally titled “Theraflu”) . In the meantime, director Ashley Smith has jumped into the breach, posting an unofficial clip for the song on her Vimeo page on Thursday that, well, just kills it. The can’t-look-away video stars a ridiculously cute half-pint reportedly named Caleb as Kanye and the kid is a star. As he struts the streets with his leggy blonde companion (holding her hand at first, awwww), mini ‘Ye rips the song’s lyrics, yes, even the four-and five-letter ones in a video that is the viral opposite of one of West’s typically high-concept, arty pieces. His swagger is unmistakable as he moves through Manhattan past some of Yeezy’s favorite luxury New York outlets while his companion shakes it for him. All the while, Caleb keeps it cool behind some shades and a mini leather jacket, aping the lyrics by throwing up the Roc to prove his allegiance. And, then, for reasons known only to Smith, actors wearing Donald Trump, Condoleezza Rice, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush and Sarah Palin masks pop up, posing menacingly on the street, that is when they’re not grinding on each other. How ridiculous is the kid? At one point he pulls off a flawless split, his hand triumphantly up in the air before breaking into a coughing fit as Theraflu pours out into a measuring cup. The good news is that Smith might have plenty more material to choose from, since DJ Khaled recently told MTV News that he and Kanye have plenty more tracks cooking . “Me and Kanye West went back in the lab and we made another record and got some features on there too,” Khaled said, without revealing too much about the next tune. “I can’t really talk about it, so expect another monstrous earthquake to hit the streets.” Related Artists Kanye West
