A you know I’m a fan of all these Instachicks who look alike. You’ve got Dove Cameron, Jordyn Jones and a bunch others. I would put Peyton List in this group. I have a hard time telling who is who, but as long they all take bikini pics, it doesn’t really matter.

Source: Bill Clark / Getty Covington Catholic High School Student Refutes Reports Of Racist Behavior Nick Sandmann thinks we’re all stupid as hell. That’s the only way we can explain his obscenely disingenuous denouncement of the “outright lies” that he helped fuel a racist confrontation between his Covington Catholic High School classmates and Omaha tribal elder Nathan Phillips. According to NBCNews , Sandmann contends that not only was he attempting to “diffuse the situation”, but that but he and his friends were targeted by “four African American protestors” yelling “derogatory” things at them. “They also taunted an African American student from my school by telling him that we would ‘harvest his organs,’” Sandmann said. “I have no idea what that insult means, but it was startling to hear.” Nothing “derogatory” about telling a Black person that white people wearing MAGA hats might harvest their organs. Anyone who’s seen Get Out knows this to be an empirical fact of life. Peep game though, Sandmann then tries to paint himself and his teachers as peacemakers… Sandmann said that, with the permission of a teacher who was serving as a chaperone, he began leading the group of students in school spirit chants “to counter the hateful things that were being shouted at our group.” Apparently, the best way to “counter all the hateful things” was to stand 2 feet from Nathan Phillips face smirking like the douchebag his parents raised him to be. “I never interacted with this protestor. I did not speak to him. I did not make any hand gestures or other aggressive moves. To be honest, I was startled and confused as to why he had approached me. We had already been yelled at by another group of protestors, and when the second group approached I was worried that a situation was getting out of control where adults were attempting to provoke teenagers. This next part is proof positive that the devil is lie. “I believed that by remaining motionless and calm, I was helping to diffuse the situation,” he said. “I realized everyone had cameras and that perhaps a group of adults was trying to provoke a group of teenagers into a larger conflict. I said a silent prayer that the situation would not get out of hand.” Silent prayer, huh? Yeah. Ok. Latest Covington Catholic video from the Lincoln Memorial incident on Friday has surfaced where one of the students yells, “It's not rape if you enjoy it!” Good luck spinning this one… pic.twitter.com/4yJXHrLP0Z — Amee Vanderpool (@girlsreallyrule) January 22, 2019 Nick Sandmann and all these kids can choke.

Source: Sergi Alexander / Getty Issa a girls trip! Tonight’s episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta finds the crew in Tokyo for Eva’s second bachelorette celebration. They brave a 14-hour flight, arrive at their nice hotel and sit down for a meal as soon as they arrive, but Kandi is not feeling what’s on the menu. It’s light salads, tuna tataki, etc. Kandi is complaining and acting like a spoiled American because she wants a burger or something that she feels is more substantial while the other women aren’t having any problems digging in. Tanya takes this trip the most serious so she hooks the group up with Aya, a cultural ambassador. Aya goes over some cultural customs and traditions with them. One of the main customs is that they shouldn’t be late. Anyone who is familiar with Japanese culture knows that lateness is highly offensive, more offensive than in a lot of other countries. Unfortunately, this group of women is always late. But hold that thought. Once Aya leaves, Eva takes center stage to try to open up the floor to get the group to talk and get over whatever issues they have—Because these chats are always productive. Eva starts with Porsha. Eva felt some type of way about Porsha calling her out for being shady and two-faced at Tanya’s house. Porsha gets annoyed and says she doesn’t think it’s that deep. Porsha then says she specifically remembers Eva talking trash about Shamea and Cynthia behind their backs but then being nice in their faces so she took Eva to task about that behavior. Then Porsha got a little stank, telling Eva not to play the victim. Eva said she’s not playing the victim but she felt like Porsha was trying to “stunt on her.” Porsha reiterates that she’s wasn’t coming for her and they move on. Finally, dinner wraps with Porsha telling the entire group that she’s pregnant (because only a couple of women know at this point). That’s actually a sweet moment because Porsha learned how to say, “I’m pregnant,” in Japanese, and even Kandi is happy for her, all beef aside. Eva doesn’t have too much time to think about the pettiness because gets tragic news that her grandfather is on life support. He had a heart attack, so here we are. Kandi is there to comfort her and gives her some positive commentary. Eva isn’t going to go home just yet but she is on standby. She’s waiting for her mother to call her back with more news, which will probably be that her grandfather passed away. The group goes sightseeing the next day. Call time was 11:00 am but that went right out the window for some of the ladies. Eva, Tanya, Porsha, Cynthia and Kandi are the only ones on time. Ayo wants to leave the rest of the group at 11:10 but Eva begs her to stay. She does, but she’s highly annoyed because lateness is a great disrespect and they have a lot of things to do that day The gang’s finally all present by 12. They visit a temple and read fortunes, which actually seem to be on point. Eva’s even says that the patient will be well (this can be taken literally or figuratively), which gives her hope. Eventually, they end up having lunch and the drama kicks up again. Kandi is being picky about food again and the rest of them bogart Tanya with questions about whether she’s married or not. Tanya has been engaged to her man for three years but considers herself spiritually married. But then Tanya calls NeNe out on making a comment at the temple that maybe she’ll marry someone else. Tanya feels it’s bad juju to say something like that in a spiritual temple. NeNe gets unnecessarily defensive and says it’s not that serious and that she doesn’t give a f–k. Tanya looks super hurt and confused because she came at NeNe respectfully and she actually considered NeNe a friend. We end the episode on that note but this definitely isn’t over. Next week, NeNe goes Ghost on the group, Eva and Marlo go at it and Eva’s grandfather takes a turn for the worst. In NeNe’s defense, she might be on edge because of her situation with Gregg. We shall see. RELATED POSTS ‘RHOAS11’ Recap: Eva Plans An Apology Trip To Tokyo ‘RHOAS11’ Recap: Kandi And Porsha Hate Each Other Again

Pointer Sisters co-founder Bonnie Pointer was performing at the historic Wattles Mansion in Hollywood Saturday night when she got ill onstage and threw up in her hand. Bonnie’s publicist Thomas Santiago tells TMZ she’d been dealing with flu-like symptoms in the days leading up to the event, but she’d committed to performing and didn’t want to cancel. Check out the video. Bonnie almost immediately starts dancing to the beat of the group’s most famous song after she puked. “I’m So Excited!”
Source: Prince Williams/WireImage / Getty It’s still girls trip time on tonight’s episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta . We pick p with Marlo trying to impose her “stylist” skills on Shamari, claiming she needs a fashion update and an upgrade. Shamarai doesn’t take too kindly at first because it does seem like Marlo is being shady and not really trying to help, but eventually, she just goes along with it. The outfit ends up being some jeans, a giant scarf looking thing draped over Shamari as a shirt and a gigantic beach hat. Nene accurately calls the obvious thing out—it really just looks like an outfit Marlo would wear, some stylist she is. It’s raining out so Nene figures out how to turn all that pinned up shade into something a little more productive—a game called “B—h Stole My Talent.” It’s basically a battle of the talents competition series where the group will judge who wins. Marlo and Tanya compete as the fashion queens. They model outfits and the group chooses Tanya as the winner. Then it’s Cynthia and Eva in a walk-off since they’re the models. Cynthia wins and it’s a unanimous decision, which says a lot because you know how Eva is always trying to come for Cynthia’s so-called dated modeling skills. Shamari and Kandi have a sing-off and while both women can sing, Shamari brings it by singing “His Eye is on the Sparrow,” while Kandi falls flat—pun intended—with an original piece that had all of us scratching our heads. Anyway, Shamari wins. Finally, Porsha and Nene will be judged by who hosted the best and Nene takes the gold. It’s all love though, for now. The next day they split up for various activities. Kandi, Eva, and Sharmari end up doing aerial pilates while Cynthia, NeNe, Tanya, and Marlo get a massage. Porsha misses all the fun because she’s not feeling well and the latter group of women figured out that she’s probably pregnant because her behavior has made it obvious and they noticed weight gain in her belly. Cynthia even brings up making her take a pregnancy test and we hope not because, mind your business. NeNe visits Porsha back at the house and cuts to the chase. Porsha lies and says, “She hasn’t checked yet” (she took a home pregnancy test but is still awaiting her first official doctor appointment) but NeNe knows what’s up. She says she’s not going to say anything, but she’s super excited and tells Porsha that the other women are on to her. That’s when Porsha shows NeNe a Coca-Cola and apple juice concoction that she put in a Hennessey bottle that she plans to drink to throw the group off because she realizes that she has been looking suspect. Fast forward to dinner. Porsha pulls out the Hennessey and leads a toast as everyone else drinks champagne. It’s odd that she would go from an “alcohol fast” to pulling liquor out of her purse for a toast, but it seems to work. It all goes downhill shortly after that when Marlo and Shamari go at it. Basically, Shamari says she didn’t appreciate Marlo’s aggressiveness about switching p her wardrobe. Marlo thinks she’s Shamari’s style savior and that Shamari should be grateful. It gets so intense that Shamari calls Marlo a “b—h” because she had time. Then Marlo fires back with, “Yo’ mama” (loosely translated) and that’s when the other women in the group jump in and try to calm things down. Finally, they make it through the dinner with wigs and fragile egos kinda sorta intact.

We can all breathe a sigh of relief now, reality TV viewers. Sister Wives will be returning early next year to TLC. There had been some doubts about whether the series would air another season, considering some of the internal strife that continues to exist between Kody and his wives. But the cable network just dropped a trailer for Season 8 and confirmed that it will premiere on Sunday, January 20 at 8/7c. As for what viewers can expect from upcoming installments? It looks like Meri Brown will keep struggling with her place in this unusual family, as has been the case for nearly as long as we can remember. Earlier this fall, we documented the various ways in which Meri has fallen out of favor in her unique marriage. Early on in this preview, we see Meri ask Kody for money for a down payment on a bed and breakfast she wants to open… only to be rebuffed for her efforts. This leads to an awkward sit-down with another Sister Wife. The family also moves back to Utah from Las Vegas, which makes Kody very happy — yet doesn't sit well with Janelle and a few others. Do you think Kody cares about their feelings at all, though? Come on. Of course not. “Eventually, I'm going to lead to places they might not want to go,” he says in a confessional. “But I am going to lead.” At one point, Gabriel actually steps up and says he's “fuming inside” over the move, labeling it as “awful” because he's in the middle of his junior year in high school. Changes are clearly ahead for this group, and it's unclear whether they will end up in a better place when all is said, argued about and done. “I just feel like they’re running away from something, and I don’t know what they’re running away from,” daughter Aspyn admits in the sneak peek The trailer concludes with a shot of the Brown family standing in a circle in an empty room, saying a prayer. While they appear to be united, there are clearly a few tear-stained cheeks in the group, implying that Kody''s leadership could be taking everyone someplace that could fracture the clan in the long run. GULP . Check out this teaser to see what we mean.
Danish photographer and disrespectful curd clump Andreas Hvid has caused international outrage after posting a video of himself and an unidentified pixelated model climbing the Great Pyramid of Giza, as well as a photo of the two of them smashing at the top at sunrise. The photographer claims a Danish tabloid (via Newsweek ) that the photo of the sexual act itself was staged — he says he never slept with the model atop the pyramid, or during any other time. But honestly, if you he had no problem climbing all over and possibly compromising the integrity of the ancient pyramid stones, no issue getting buck naked on top of these sacred tombs for ancient Egyptian royals…then who’s to say he’d draw a hard line at getting some nookie and taking pics while he was up there? Either way, Egypt’s antiquities minister Khaled al-Anani has declared this little stunt a “violation of public morality,” and Egyptian citizens are calling for a ban on tourism to these national monuments altogether. This dummy may have just ruined one of the 7 wonders of the world for the rest of us who actually HAVE sense. SMH. Hit the flip for a peek at the picture in question. It’s not explicit, but definitely not safe for work either. JOSEPH EID/AFP/Getty Images/youTube
As is often brought up on RHOA , Kandi Burruss enjoys the occasional company of lady friends in her bed (or did prior to getting married). Andy Cohen asks if she’s ever looked a little closer to home — perhaps her group mate Tiny Harris — for a little feminine energy while out on the road over their 20-year career.
