Britney Spears Pronounced Dead In Hacked Sony Twitter Hoax Britney Spears killed Tinashe’s name , and now someone has tried to kill Britney Spears. Not like, actually, but kinda. The pop icon’s record label was hacked this morning and sent out the following, Earth-shattering tweet: As one might imagine, Twitter completely lost it until it was confirmed that the “Oops, I Did It Again” singer was still drawing breath. Britney Spears is alive and well, her rep tells CNN. It appears @SonyMusicGlobal erroneously tweeted her death. Sony rep says no comment — AnneClaire Stapleton (@AnneClaireCNN) December 26, 2016 Strangely, the record label also tweeted-then-deleted a clarification of the hacking hoax via USMagazine : Both of Sony Music Global’s tweets about Spears have been removed from their Twitter account as well. The company responded to the hack in a tweet that has also been deleted: “we saw a new IP logged in to the account a few minutes ago and the tweet is posted by a new IP so @britneyspears is still alive #OurMine.” Feel better now? Good. Flip the page to peep a few reactions. Image via AKM-GSI

That Was Fast! A&E Cancels KKK Docuseries Because Of THIS

Posted on December 26, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Adios!!! Generation KKK Docuseries Canceled Amid controversy and the threat of boycotts, A&E has canceled its KKK docuseries. As previously reported Generation KKK was to air in January and document about KKK members trying to “rebrand” the Klan’s racist image. Now however the network is pulling back after discovering that producers PAID families to participate. SMH… A statement from A&E reads: The documentary ‘Escaping the KKK’ was intended to serve as a close look at anti-hate extractors focused on helping people leave the Ku Klux Klan—the racist hate group with a long history of violence against African Americans and others. Our goal with this series has always been to expose and combat racism and hatred in all its forms. However, A&E learned last night from the third-party producers who made the documentary that cash payments — which we currently understand to be nominal — were made in the field to some participants in order to facilitate access. While we stand behind the intent of the series and the seriousness of the content, these payments are a direct violation of A&E’s policies and practices for a documentary. We had previously provided assurances to the public and to our core partners – including the Anti-Defamation League and Color of Change – that no payment was made to hate group members, and we believed that to be the case at the time. We have now decided not to move forward with airing this project. A&E takes the authenticity of its documentary programming and the subject of racism, hatred and violence very seriously. Just because this particular show goes away, the issues of hate in America do not. We will still seek to fight hate in America through on-air programming including town halls and documentary programs produced in partnership with civil rights organizations, as well as continue to work with the civil rights community to facilitate a deeper dialogue on ending hate through comprehensive educational and outreach campaigns.” BYE RACIST KLAN BEYOTCHES!!!! Were you looking forward to watching generation KKK??? YouTube
