One comment that took everyone by surprise was by none other than Tevin Campbell , who clapped back at haters for their insensitive comments following Quincy’s Vulture interview. Now Im trending folks will really say some disgusting things. “Tevin was molested by Quincy.” GTFOH wit the devil — Tevin Campbell (@tevincampbelll) February 7, 2018 Quincy, who happens to be Tevin’s godfather, mentioned in his spiel that he feels Campbell is one of the most underrated artists he’s ever seen. Source: Getty / Getty Some folks agree with the music legend: Tevin Campbell deserved so much more. He was the Whitney Houston we deserved. — Xavier D'Leau (@XavierDLeau) February 7, 2018 And because of Quincy Jones when I wake up in the morning the energy I will be on musically is Tevin Campbell. Tell Tevin Campbell come to @breakfastclubam so we can have a Tevin Campbell Appreciation Day. — Charlamagne Tha God (@cthagod) February 8, 2018 Tevin Campbell should be allowed to drink for free at every bar in America for his contributions to the Goofy Movie soundtrack — David Gborie (@thegissilent) February 8, 2018   While others feel Tevin got his just due in the game: I don't agree with Tevin Campbell being underrated. His name is always brought up in the R&B conversation when speaking about male vocalists. Did the music industry throw him away? Sadly, yes. — ᴅᴏʟʟᴀʀ (@callmedollar) February 7, 2018   But what neither side can deny is the talent that the 41-year possesses and how he how much of an impact he’s had on the R&B game since the late 80’s.

If you've spent any time on social media in the past 12 hours, you're probably aware that it's International Women's Day – but you might not be aware of what that means. As its name suggests IWD is a day to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of the global female community. This year, the International Women's Day is of added importance, as tens of thousands of women are participating in the Day Without a Woman – a general strike prompted by the dangerously misogynistic remarks and policies of Donald Trump and his administration. So whether you're striking or taking to social media to express solidarity, take a moment to see what some of the most outspoken celebs have to say about this momentous day: 1. Chelsea Handler Issues Savage Trump Burn Can someone send a burn unit to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? 2. LeBron Remains Woke No Trump-style “locker room” talk on the Cavs. 3.

Twenty One Pilots Win Grammy, Take Off Pants

Adele and Beyonce may have dominated the Grammy Awards on Sunday evening. But while one of these singers swept the show's three biggest categories , and the other performed while pregnant with twins, neither took her pants off on stage. So neither were able to match the antics of Twenty One Pilots. But while Josh Dun and Tyler Joseph did, indeed, strip halfway down upon accepting the trophy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, they didn't do it just to make headlines. Nor did they do it as a joke or a lark or simply to make folks laugh. Joseph explained on stage that there was actually a sentimental reason behind why he and Dun were standing before millions of viewers in their underwear. “This story starts in Columbus, Ohio, and it was a few years ago,” Joseph said in his speech. “It was before Josh and I were able to make money playing music.” The friends were at home, watching the Grammys with some other pals, and… “As we were watching, we noticed that every single one of us was in our underwear. Josh turned to me and said, 'If we ever win a Grammy, we should receive it just like this.” So there you have it. Pretty cool, huh? “Not only is this amazing, but I want everybody who's watching at home to know that they could be next,” he concluded. We love it! Watch the duo accept their hardware and show off their legs below:

Josh Elliott: Fired by CBS News!

Josh Elliott was fired from CBS News on Monday following an unusual series of events that started on Friday when he resigned his post from the network’s digital channel. Which came as quite a surprise to his bosses. Elliott had served as CBSN’s lead daytime anchor for about a year, but he announced his emotional goodbye to viewers just prior to the weekend, saying it was his “last day” and adding: “It has been by any measure a great stay here at CBSN.” According to The New York Post, Elliott’s departure came as a shock to CBS executives, none of whom had any idea he was planning to leave the digital station. “This is a mess of epic proportions,” said a network source to Page Six. “Nobody at the top at CBS News knew that Josh was going to do that.” Insiders tell the publication that Elliott had recently sat and talked with Laurie Orlando, the network’s head of talent, who told him she wanted him to take on a bigger role at CBS News. “ “Then Josh announced his departure without warning,” explains the source. “Executives at CBS were stunned.” Sounds like quite the miscommunication, huh? Fast forward to Monday… and the axe coming down on Elliott’s CBS career. “Josh was called to a meeting with CBS News heads including [president] David Rhodes and fired. He was escorted out of the building by security,” writes Page Six. The source adds: “Meanwhile, Laurie Orlando, who seems to be responsible for much of this mess, is missing. Nobody has seen her. This is a mystifying situation.” Wait… what?!? Orlando is flat-out missing?!? Elliott seems to think that his executive producer is the one who messed up here, failing to alert higher-ups about his future at the network. “They totally bungled their own announcement,” says the source. “There was no communication.” The network has not confirmed the bizarre details behind Elliott’s departure, but the network did release a statement in regard to Elliott being let go. It reads: “CBS News and Josh Elliott are parting ways. Josh will no longer be reporting for CBS News. We are grateful for his contributions over the last year, and we wish him the very best in his future endeavors.” Elliott has now been fired by CBS, ABC and CBS. You probably got to know him as co-host at ABC’S Good Morning America. However, abruptly quit in 2014 after he was poached by NBC. And now he’s gotten himself into this scandal at CBS. Elliott joined CBS News in March 2016 in order to serve as the lead anchor for its digital news service CBSN. It was thought by many that that he was being groomed as a successor to Charlie Rose and was due to fill in for the news legend over the next several days, as Rose just underwent heart surgery. Alas. We’ll be curious to see what’s next for Josh Elliott.

Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 1 Photos: Take a Peek at Reek!

Unless you got captured by a Dothraki horde and spent the last few months trying to convince them that you're actually a pretty big deal, you know that Game of Thrones Season 6 premieres on Sunday. Since the show has officially outpaced the George R.R. Martin novels on which it's based, the cast and crew have been even more tight-lipped about the plot than in years past. But that hasn't stopped us from gathering up every morsel of information on the Internet and cooking it up into a questionable but nourishing bowl of brown worthy of Flea Bottom's filthiest inn. So if, like us, you just can't wait for the premiere, check out our Game of Thrones Season 6 theories  by clicking the link, and scroll through a selection of photos from the season premiere in the gallery below. It may not be as thrilling as the moment you hear the first notes of that familiar theme song, but it'll hold you over til then: 1. Daenerys and the Dothraki The Khaleesi is back with the people who first made her a queen. But it’s a different tribe this time, and instead of being hailed as a ruler, she might imprisoned as a slave. 2. Reek and Sansa on the Run Reek and Sansa have good reason to look frightened. Ramsay Bolton is NOT a man you want to piss off. 3. Jaime Lannister Returns to King Landing Jaime has finally returned from King’s Landing. Unfortunately, he’ll have to inform his sister that her beloved daughter died on board the ship after being poisoned in Dorne. 4. Arya Stark: Blind and Alone The Many-Faced God doles out some harsh punishments. Arya is starting the season at what might be her lowest point yet – blind and alone in a strange land. 5. Ramsay Bolton: Still Awful Yes, Ramsay is back for more evil. Hope you’re ready for another round of horrific nightmares! 6. Cersei Wants Revenge Cersei has a rough Season 5 that culminated with the world’s humiliating walk of shame. You can bet she’ll have her revenge in Season 6. View Slideshow

Doug Hutchison CREEPILY Describes Meeting Underage Courtney Stodden: WATCH

If Woody Allen's relationship with his stepdaughter Soon-Yi Previn is something you'd consider romantic, this video might be right up your alley. Supercreep Doug Hutchison stopped by the set of The Mother/Daughter Experiment and regaled the cast with the tale of how he fell in love with Courtney Stodden. At the time, Doug was a little-known, 50-year-old actor and Courtney was a sprightly 16 years old .  O_o While stroking a tiny white dog dressed like she's about to perform a tap dance on Toddlers & Tiaras , Doug begins his story as the mothers and daughters listen intently. “After I found out about Courtney's age, I had a really frank talk with Krista (Courtney's mom),” he purred.  “I said, listen, I don't know if you know what's going on here, but your daughter and I are falling for each other,” he continued. “And Krista said, 'You're a good person and I don't have any problem with you and Courtney continuing to explore this together.” At this point, the ladies in the room are shooting the most EPIC side-eyes we've seen on record. We'd like to give special props to Natalie Nunn, Heidi Montag, Shar Jackson and Kim Richards for their contributions. (Side note: when Heidi Montag thinks your life is whack, you know you better check yourself.) Doug continues his grody narrative, which at this juncture is sounding rather dubious. “Courtney was being courted by tons of men,” he tells the crowd. “Closer to her age, wealthier than me, more famous. From sports figures to politicians to sheiks in the Middle East.” Natalie Nunn, bless her heart, calls bullsh*t. “What the f**k, dude,” she says in her confessional. “Sheiks?! How are sheiks finding a 16-year-old?” We tend to agree. Doug honestly expects us to believe that instead of selecting a younger, hotter, wealthier suitor, Court settled on his raggedy ass? More likely, the child's fame-hungry momager Krista Keller saw the D-list actor as her best shot at the limelight and plopped Courtney right into his pinky-ringed hands. We're guessing it was some time after that when Krista fell in love with Doug herself . Yep, the story gets even more disgusting.  Now if you'll pardon me, I'm off to find some Coca-Cola syrup.

Stacey Dash Orders Black Twitter To Apologize For Roasting Her, Backpedals On Banning Black History Month

Stacey Dash Wants Twitter To Apologize, Explains Comments On Black History Month Stacey Dash is even more delusional than most of us originally thought, because she seems to think that she is owed and may possibly receive an apology from the army of Twitter users that came for her whitewashed neck last week after her comments bashing BET , The Image Awards, and dismissing Black History Month as racist. Citing a 60-minutes interview Morgan Freeman gave years and years ago, Stacey asked when exactly she was going to receive an in-pouring of “I’m Sorrys,” after people realize that she’s only agreeing with what the actor said: When I spoke out on Fox News and on my blog about the need to get rid of BET and Black History Month, all the same usual Twitter haters came out of the woodwork to troll me and say all sorts of disgusting things about me. The same trolls who attacked me when I endorsed Mitt Romney came out and called me all sorts of things, many of which I can’t even say here. Well, if you’re going to call me ignorant, stupid, and an Uncle Tom, you need to be intellectually honest and also call out Morgan Freeman. Like I said… so when do the Twitter trolls apologize to me? Well,while she waits on that apology that will never arrive, she also decided to “clarify” what she meant when she said she wanted to get rid of Black History Month. In her newly posted blog , Stacey insists that Black people are holding themselves back by accepting a set aside month to celebrate our contributions to US History: It’s hard to cut through the hysterical reactions to my comments the other day about Black History Month. I feel like many of your reactions — saying that I’ve sold out to white people, that I’m “coonin’” etc — show you aren’t hearing me. I’m not saying we as black people deserve LESS respect. I’m saying we deserve MORE. Black History should be apart of social studies and history curriculum EVERYDAY OF EVERY MONTH OF EVERY YEAR. not just 28 days out of 365!!!! Black history IS American history. We are not a category or a special interest group. We are Americans. I am an American and I cannot be categorized or limited by anyone else’s definition of me. I can tell by the hysterical reactions that it’s not WHITE PEOPLE who are trying to keep black Americans in their place. It’s BLACK people. We need to stop doing this to ourselves, to our brothers and sisters. We need to swipe the breadcrumbs on the floor and eat of the wonderful, rich food this nation offers. Well now that she (kind of) cleared that up, what do you think? Does Stacey have a point or does she still need to have a whole stadium of seats?? WENN

Elsa Hosk Will Blow Your Mind

I know I make fun of them sometimes (OK, a lot of the time), but no joke: thank God for paparazzi with zoom lenses. Because thanks to them, we’re able to get this pants-melting sneak peek at Elsa Hosk ‘s latest bikini shoot for Victoria’s Secret. I’m pretty sure Elsa’s attempting the classic  Jessica Alba bikini pose in these shots, only I think she might have finally found a way to make the pose even better. So I take back everything I ever said about the paps. Whoever shot this deserves a Congressional Medal of Honor or something for their contributions to society. Photos: PacificCoastNews
