Bill Cosby Furiously Compares #MeToo to Literal Terrorists

Bill Cosby has been sentenced to prison. A lot of people enjoy that knowledge even more than they enjoy stories of him getting  slapped with an airborne chicken patty . But Cosby himself apparently feels that this is a huge injustice, that he’s somehow a victim. A report says that he has compared the women of the #MeToo movement to  literal terrorists . RadarOnline   reports that Bill Cosby believes that  he , not the 60 women who accuse him of the unspeakable, is the real victim here. According to the inside source, he has likened the accusations against him and his own prosecution to a “terrorist attack.” He even has a particular terrorist group in mind. On September 25, after the prosecution’s final expert witnesses had spoken, Cosby reportedly uttered a comment. “These women make ISIS look like nuns,” Cosby reportedly said. That refers, of course, to the preferred name of Daesh, a terrorist organization that has dealt death, suffering, and desecration across Iraq and Syria. Cosby was apparently also irate with his legal team. “He wasn’t happy whatsoever,” the insider reports. “He wasn’t happy that his team didn’t put up character witnesses,” the source claims. The insider also states: “He wasn’t happy that his defense dropped the bomb that accused the prosecution of doctoring a tape after he was sentenced.” (That may have been part of a valid legal strategy of avoiding alienating the court, and conspiracy theories about prosecutors tend to piss off judges) Says the source on Cosby: “I’ve never seen him so mad.” Allegedly, Cosby was so peeved during the trial that he wanted to lash out with violence against all of the people he blamed for his predicament. “Mr. Cosby said he’d ‘whack them with his cane’ …” the insider claims. The source does note that he would only do that “if he ‘could see them.’” Cosby is said to be legally blind, though some believe that this may have been played up as a ploy for sympathy. “He was worried that if he tried tossing his cane,” the insider reveals. “He’s accidentally slap the judge rather than his target,” “And,” the source states. “That definitely wasn’t worth the risk.” Now this is where the report begins to stretch one’s beliefs. Cosby allegedly believes that he should “band together” with Harvey Weinstein and others. He allegedly sees him and the other men accused of vile sex crimes as “the real #MeToo victims.” He reportedly referred to the actions of the #MeToo movement as being “severe enough for ISIS to claim responsibility.” He is even said to have referred to the women bravely coming forward as a “terrorist attack on Hollywood.” Now, it is not difficult to imagine Cosby feeling persecuted. Even the most vile people in history have often felt that they are the victims when they are finally faced with the slightest consequences for their actions. It is also very easy to picture Cosby becoming furious with his attorneys and their legal strategy. But are he and Weinstein and Woody Allen and Roman Polansky and Bryan Singer and James Toback really going to form some sort of anti-#MeToo  Legion of Doom ? No. Cosby and hsi team have been quick to compare his situation to other men, from Brett Kavanaugh  to Jesus . Yes, really. Others have been strongly reluctant to tie their name or story with Cosby’s. This reluctance to associate is probably because Cosby has dozens of accusers, some of whom have spoken out sincet he 1990s. He might want to cling to the names of the men who remain free and have yet to face real consequences — but to them, he represents what they hope to avoid. For once, an every-man-for-himself attitude might actually help the world rather than hurt it. View Slideshow: Bill Cosby: A Look at His Life Behind Bars

Apollo Nida Reunites With Fiancee From Behind Bars

If you’re wondering why you haven’t heard from Phaedra Parks’ ex-husband Apollo Nida in a while, then you may be in for a bit of a shock. Back in 2014,  Nida was convicted of fraud charges  and sentenced to eight years in prison. These days, Apollo is behind bars, but he’s not letting the pesky peculiarities of his living arrangement interfere with his social life. To the surprise of many (ya know, because of the whole “being in prison” thing) Nida got engaged  to a woman named Sherien Almufti last year. The news came as a shock, because in addition to the fact that he’s locked up (Have we mentioned that?), Apollo had only been divorced from Phaedra for a few months when he put a ring he made himself on Sherien’s finger . (We suppose “I’m in prison” is a pretty good excuse for not shelling out for a diamond.) The news that Sherien is an aspiring famous person who was promised a spot on The Real Housewives of Atlanta helped to shed some light on the mystery of why she rushed headlong into a relationship with a convict. Sadly, it seems there was more than just Plexiglass coming between Apollo and Sherien, and the couple broke up earlier this year. Maybe it was the forced separation. Maybe Sherien realized that marrying Apollo wouldn’t be her ticket to the A-list, after all. Or maybe she simply got sick of Nida blathering on about his hobbies all the time (shiv-sharpening, ramen based-cookery, hanging posters of decade-appropriate film starlets over the ever-deepening tunnel in the wall of his cell). Whatever the case, Apollo and Sherien called it quits. For about two weeks. Yes, as suddenly as they began their romance, Apollo and Sherien have reconciled. Almufti even celebrated her birthday by visiting Nida in the clink last week: Yes, Sherien and Apollo enjoyed a jailhouse embrace – presumably after assuring the nearest C.O. that they wouldn’t be passing anything to one another. Almufti seemed to briefly address the breakup in her caption for the photo, acknowledging that things “haven’t always been peachy” as of late. “God has blessed me with another year. I am so thankful for every single thing in my life,” she wrote. “Although it hasn’t always been peachy, I wouldn’t trade it for the world! Thank you God for every mistake I have made and for every lesson I have learned. I am stronger today than I was yesterday!” She later praised Nida, hailing him as “an amazing person inside and out,” who will someday get his due. You may now commence being depressed about prison inmates having healthier relationships than you do. Watch The Real Houseives of Atlanta online to relive Apollo’s many ups and downs.

Ariel Winter Flaunts HUGE Boobs in Viral Twitter Pic

Back in August, we learned that  Ariel Winter underwent breast reduction surgery , taking her from a size 34F to a 32D.  Winter has stated that the operation has made her more comfortable and more confident. That confidence (along with a couple other things) is on full display in this photo that Ariel tweeted over the weekend: That’s Ariel and her boyfriend attending a wedding. She posted the pic on social media and it was instantly liked and shared for thousands of times. We think we know a couple reasons why it’s so popular. All joking aside, Ariel has been through a lot for someone so young, including being legally emancipated from her abusive mother . As a result of her experiences, Ariel comes off as wise beyond her years when speaking with the press, and friends and co-stars have stated that they expect she’ll be wildly successful in whatever career she chooses as an adult. “I don’t always have to pick the tightest, most form-fitting dress I can find. I can pick something else and still feel good about myself. I couldn’t do that before,” Winter told Glamour in a recent interview. “I’m excited to finally actually feel confident and not just appear confident.” Sounds like Ariel is handling all the attention just fine.  View Slideshow: 30 Celebrities with Really, Really Big Boobs

Teresa Giudice "Shaken Down" in Jail; Joe Giudice Opens Up

To put it mildly, it has been a sh*tty effing year for Teresa and Joe Giudice. As Teresa’s stint in prison is coming to an end , viewers have the chance to learn more about her time behind bars. Teresa is staring in a three-part special titled Teresa Checks In on Bravo. Clearly, she must be starved for attention (or money) if she is willing to expose herself while behind bars. Of course, the show won’t be without drama.  In a preview for part two of the special, Teresa discloses to her husband what happened after their daughter, Gia, tweeted about Teresa. “I got shaken down,” 43-year-old Teresa tells Joe. Joe sat down with E! News to elaborate about how life has been for the Giudice family since Teresa checked into jail. With Teresa behind bars, he is busy working as a single parent.  And he admits that he has learned a lot about parenting. He told E! News, “I’ve always been a father. I’ve always done everything but Teresa did all the driving around, running around, paying for everything and doing all this and doing all that.  He added, “I never knew how many expenses there are just in the activities.” Though the expenses are high raising four girls, he does enjoy making his kids happy. “Damn, cheer’s expensive. Damn, soccer’s expensive. Everything’s expensive, but I enjoy it. It’s fun watching them and they did really good,” he said. Joe has been regularly attending practice: “I’m like the mom—I’m like the cheer mom and whatever.” Certainly, he has enjoyed spending time with his children, but life without Teresa has been tough. “It hasn’t been easy,” Joe said. “You’re emailing, you’re talking here and there, but it’s not like she’s here.” There have been multiple rumors that Joe is cheating on Teresa .  But he claims he misses her “every day, every minute. I always wish she was here.” “I’m glad I was able to keep the girls together, and do what we have to do to get by until she [Teresa] gets home.” Joe stated that the family is “managing” the best they can.  But he says that aren’t “doing well” without her. Once Teresa is released from prison, Joe will begin his turn in jail.  Last year, The Real Housewives of New Jersey Teresa and Joe were sentenced to serve time in jail for fraud.

21 Celebrities Who Served Time in Prison: You’re Not Alone, Teresa Giudice!

As you’ve likely heard by now, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice reported to prison this week to begin serving a 15 month sentence on fraud charges. Teresa may be feeling awfully alone these days, but she’s far from the first celeb to get hauled off to the big house. Heck, she’s not even the first Bravo reality star to get locked up in the past year! Housewives of Atlanta D-bag Apollo Nida is doing 8 years (!) for bank fraud and identity theft, and the whole thing is making us wonder if Bravo boss Andy Cohen is secretly some sort of crime ring kingpin. We kid. But seriously, getting tossed in the slammer is a proud Hollywood tradition, and you may be surprised by some of the A-listers who have done hard time. 21 Celebs Who Did Time Behind Bars 1. Robert Downey, Jr. Downey did a year behind bars after a number of drug-related arrests. These days, he’s one of the biggest box office draws in the world following what might be the greatest comeback in Hollywood history. And we’re not talking Lohan-style “45 minutes in jail to scare you straight” time here, either. We’re talking about celebs who spent so much time behind bars that they earned colorful prison nicknames and learned to perfect toilet hooch.  Some of the entries on this list may surprise you. ( Lauryn Hill served three months in a federal joint?!) While others are old hat. (Oh, OJ – will you never learn?) In any event, these celebs come from different backgrounds and were at very different stages in their careers when they got locked up. It serves as a distressing reminder that anyone, at any time can make a mistake that will land them behind bars. Fortunately, it also serves as evidence that sometimes even wealth and fame can’t stand in the way of justice being served. Take note, Bill Cosby!

Prison Hustle: Locked Up Apollo Nida Launches New Fitness Business From Behind Bars

Oh, now he knows how to make legal money? Apollo Nida Starts New Fitness Business Venture From Behind Bars Apollo is keeping it right and tight in the clink…body, finances, and hopefully booty . He’s not letting a little thing like a near-decade of incarceration push pause on his hustle. He’s using all that free federally-mandated time to push a new product to keep exercise heads accountable on maintaining a steady workout. Via RadarOnline : Apollo Nida won’t be confined by prison walls! The Real Housewives of Atlanta star is currently behind bars for the next eight years, and facing an impending divorce from Phaedra Parks, but Radar has learned he just launched a new business — from prison! The imprisoned reality star and father of two has been posting from behind bars about a new workout plan called Nida Fitness 4%. According to the Bravo star, it is an inspirational program that attempts to motivate people to work out. The program points out that getting one hour of exercise a day is roughly only 4% of a person’s day, hence the tagline for the company: “It’s only 4%.” Nida’s new website, itsonly4perecent.com, is selling waterproof USB wristbands with the tagline written on them. Fans can also watch a video of Nida promoting his new product. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem that Nida’s new business ventures have swayed his wife to stay with him. In a statement released by Parks’ rep on Oct. 10, it was revealed that Parks would be filing for divorce. “Phaedra has retained an attorney with the intent of amicably ending her marriage,” the statement read. Funny…where was all this LEGAL business drive when he was still roaming the streets free?
