Not everything that is appropriate for adults is appropriate for children. Unfortunately, some people can get a little carried away. A thid party was selling T-shirts that read “Daddy’s Little Slut” on them, and they came in children’s sizes. The outrage was so intense that Amazon has banned the shirts from their site. Well, almost . The shirt, offered by OnlyBabyCare, was on sale for $18. TMZ reports that these shirts had been on sale on Amazon for months, dating back to June. They were originally listed for $36. The audacious Amazon page suggested the shirts for “playing outside, birthday party, baby shower, baptism, wedding, baby photography, daily wear, family day.” Projecting weird sex jokes onto children is just not appropriate — not for the child and not for anyone who reads what the shirt says. You know what is great without sexualizing anyone at all? Taking the things written on dog vests as warnings and putting them on T-shirts for humans. Everyone I know wants a shirt that reads “not keen on men” like in that one dog photo from Twitter.
On July 4, Amber Portwood was arrested for domestic violence after allegedly attacking her then-fiance, Andrew Glennon, with a machete.

At this weekend’s Camp Flog Gnaw Festival, YG invited Stormy Daniels onstage to perform the track and she even threw in a little slander and shade towards the president. My name is Stormy f*cking Daniels, and I am the reason Donald Trump is f*cked,” Daniels said to the crowd. The adult film actress then engaged in some banter with YG, who asked Daniels if she actually had sex with the president to which she replied, “No, I just laid there.” Twitter user @sammcastillo__ captured the moment in the clip below. A warning: there is strong language in the clip so mind your volume and surroundings. stormy fucking daniels pic.twitter.com/9YG3zpBGy1 — $ (@sammcastillo__) November 11, 2019 — Photo: WENN

Source: Cooper Neill / Getty Gilbert Arenas was one of the most electrifying basketball players on the planet during his time with the Washington Wizards, although the team made just more headlines for locker room strife as it did winning games. Agent Zero sat down with ESPN’s The Jump, and his former college teammate Richard Jefferson relentlessly roasted him. To be fair, Arenas probably caught a lot of smoke from Jefferson after referring to him on-air as a “douchebag,” and noting that his fellow retired NBA hooper was a bit sarcastic. While Jefferson’s cold shoulder act seemed sincere, much of it appeared to be playful ribbing from guys who have a long history together. One interesting point of note was host Rachel Nichols mentioning a recent story from Wizards player Trevor Booker, who noted on the HoopsHype podcast that the team was the most “unprofessional” team he’s played on, and mentioned some of the antics, including Arenas taking a dump in a player’s shoe although not by name. To be fair, co-host Paul Pierce gave Arenas his props after saying that if he didn’t get hurt that he’d be one of the all-time greats. This even promoted Jefferson to break character and praise Arenas, but it didn’t last long. Check out the epic slandering of Gilbert Arenas and Richard Jefferson below. — Photo: Getty
J udge Greg Mathis is furthering his efforts to help individuals impacted by the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. According to NBC News , the Detroit native recently donated 50,000 bottles of water to the city’s students. TV’s Judge Mathis donating more than 50,000 bottles of water to Flint schools https://t.co/UnEnt3pWGh — MLive (@MLive) October 31, 2019 After learning about the cognitive effects that the contaminated water has had on several students within the school system, Mathis was determined to address the issue. The 50,000 bottles of water will be dispersed to schools throughout Flint on Monday. Mathis has also teamed up with AquaTru to provide nine water filtration systems to charter schools in the city. He believes that no parent should be put in a position to risk their child’s health due to the lack of accessibility to clean water. He added that if government officials aren’t going to rectify the situation, then individuals like himself will step up. “It’s difficult to win the confidence of the citizens that you have allowed to be harmed,” he said. “If you wouldn’t risk it for your children, don’t ask these parents to risk it for theirs.” This isn’t the first donation that Mathis has made. Last year, he sent thousands of cases of water to Flint residents. News about Mathis’ donation comes after 12-year-old activist Amariyanna Copeny —who is known Little Miss Flint—raised over $130,000 to create a long-term sustainable solution to the water crisis by bringing state-of-the-art water filters to underserved communities. The implementation of the water filters would give individuals the ability to have safe running water within their households. Earlier this year, rapper and actor Jaden Smith ’s eco-friendly natural spring water brand JUST Goods Inc. teamed up with Flint’s First Trinity Missionary Baptist Church to implement a system called “The Water Box” which reduces lead and other toxic chemicals in contaminated water.

The Detroit native—who has been in the entertainment industry for over 30 years—recently hit a major career milestone. According to Deadline , Vance was named president of the SAG-AFTRA Foundation. Courtney B. Vance Named SAG-AFTRA Foundation President, Succeeding JoBeth Williams https://t.co/q0O0ImVsVL pic.twitter.com/IrudsOCjUI — Deadline Hollywood (@DEADLINE) November 5, 2019 The organization focuses on providing educational resources for artists. It is dedicated to supporting individuals who are pursuing all forms of performing arts including actors, dancers, and other artists. The SAG-AFTRA Foundation also runs a children’s literacy program as an avenue to empower youth through storytelling. Vance’s appointment was made official at the foundation’s 4th Annual Patron of the Artists Awards which took place on November 7 at Los Angeles’ Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts. Vance will lead the SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s newly minted Entertainment Industry Council which was designed to provide support for artists throughout their careers. He succeeds JoBeth Williams who has been at the helm of the foundation for a decade. He’s excited to take on the role. “The SAG-AFTRA Foundation is a vital organization and it is a privilege to shine a light on it in my new role as President. My parents raised us to be helpers and just as there are no small roles, there are no small jobs. This is an opportunity to help people and educate artists who are the backbone of our industry,” Vance said in a statement . “JoBeth set a high bar and I look forward to building upon her legacy with our new Entertainment Industry Council and our Actors’ Council. Together, we will raise increased funding for our assistance and scholarship funds, and continue creating more robust, free programs for our artists. I can’t wait to get started.” His appointment comes at a time where there is a major need for diversity within non-profit organizations. Research shows that African Americans remain underrepresented in leadership positions within that sector. SEE ALSO: Courtney Vance On His Role As Johnnie Cochran In The FX Series “The People V. O.J.

Source: Reebok / Reebok Cardi B Thinks Instagram Could Improve By Changing The Comment Section Earlier this week, Instagram announced that they would be expanding their test to hide a picture’s number of likes to some users in the United States. Because of this news, conversations have started around whether or not this is a good idea–and Cardi B , someone whose built their career off of the platform, has something to say. According to the rapper, there are much bigger problems than likes. “It’s a big ruckus right now that the likes on Instagram are getting taken away,” she said in an Instagram post on Friday. “This is my opinion on it, right? So from the beginning of Instagram, we had likes. And I feel like in the beginning of Instagram, everything was so fun, people wanted to post their pictures, get likes … where I think that Instagram got a little nasty, and it just took a weird turn, was when people started to like the comments, when they were allowed to like comments or reply back to somebody’s comments.” View this post on Instagram This is just my opinion….I mean what makes you feel more insecure getting no likes or people constantly giving opinions about you ,your life and topics? what you think IG should do ? A post shared by Iamcardib (@iamcardib) on Nov 9, 2019 at 5:08pm PST In her rant, Cardi talks about the toxicity that lives within certain comment section, pointing out that many users will post comments for the sole purpose of getting a reaction out of others. “That’s when I feel like when people started sayin’ nasty things…somebody would just say something so vile because they want comments back. Some people don’t have a life…I see a lot of people dedicate they time into sayin’ some of the craziest, most absurd shit on comments, just for likes and comments back. And I feel like that’s what’s messing up Instagram.” But there’s not only people who express too much of their own opinion on the platform. According to Cardi, the comment section has kept some fans from expressing their views because they might not want to risk getting attacked over a difference in opinion. “If anything is affecting Instagram right now, it’s the way the comments have been done or have been changing these past few years,” she said. “I feel people been sayin’ the most weirdest shit, been starting the craziest arguments, been starting to race bait … because they want to get to the top, they want to get the most reactions. And that’s what I feel: The comments effect more than the likes.” While Cardi has a point, users on Instagram do have the option of turning off comments on their posts is they so choose–but is that enough? Or should the platform do away with comments all together?
This really has been a wild year for Jenelle Evans, huh? Her husband killed her dog, she temporarily lost custody of her kids, and now she's getting a divorce. In the midst of all that, of course, she also lost her job. It's safe to say that her life has completely fallen apart just in the past few months. But despite how intense things must be for her right now, word is that she's got a plan to turn it all around. And honestly, she sounds pretty desperate for a win … 1. What a Ride Yeah, so 2019 has been full of change for Jenelle — but like, SO full. 2. Ugh We’d heard rumors and reports about David’s alleged abuse before, of course, and last fall was when we heard Jenelle’s harrowing 911 call, but it’s probably safe to say that he really amped things up this year. 3. Disgusting Back in the spring, he killed Nugget, Jenelle’s tiny little dog, for lightly nipping at Ensley when she started playing a little too rough. 4. A Nightmare The police found out and opened an investigation, and they also alerted CPS that all was not well in the Eason home, so they removed all the children — Barbara took Ensley, Nathan took Kaiser, and Maryssa went to stay with her grandmother. 5. Poor Kids Jenelle and David had court dates for a few weeks, and in their downtime they took parenting classes — David also took some anger management classes. 6. Kick Her While She’s Down It was also during this time that MTV broke the news that they’d stopped filming with Jenelle. View Slideshow
