On Tuesday, the fashion retailer hit Twitter to promote a Black Panther sweater they’re selling—the only problem is, the model they used to sell the new merch isn’t the slightest bit Black . The young blonde, blue-eyed man stands tall in the top, which reads “Wakanda Forever” across the front. The obvious question is: why wasn’t a Black person asked to model it? Of course, it didn’t take long before the internet blew up with frustration, while others said anyone of any race should be able to wear Wakanda gear. “People got mad because Forever 21 had a white male wearing a wakanda forever sweater… Y’all so aggravating and complain about everything. Like why can’t someone white be showcased wearing that ? Black panther is a marvel character created for any and everyone to enjoy RELAX,” @lunaticshii tweeted, for example. To be fair, most folks aren’t mad he’s simply wearing the shirt…they’re mad that out of everyone, he’s the person they chose to promote the shirt. Key difference. The way Black culture is continuously hijacked by other races while Black people are dumped and forgotten, we’d just appreciate it if Black folks were lifted up and celebrated whenever the opportunity presents itself. And having a Black model sell a Black Panther sweater was one of those OBVIOUS opportunities to show love, which makes us wonder if choices like the one Forever 21 made are intentional? Why deny a young Black king or queen that moment to shine amongst his/her peers? Are these companies really just that tone deaf? Are there no Black models at these shoots? Or, Black employees working the shoots? Eventually, Forever 21 decided to pull the photo and issue an apology via E! : “Forever 21 takes feedback on our products and marketing extremely seriously. We celebrate all superheroes with many different models of various ethnicities and apologize if the photo in question was offensive in any way.” Hit the flip to see some of the backlash the company received.

Heat styling is poised as a natural’s worst enemy and for good reason. It can threaten your new growth by drying out your hair follicles and damaging your curl pattern , not to mention be harsh on the pockets with speciality salons charging north of $100 to do blow outs that fizzle with the slightest hint of moisture in the air (like mine did below). Still, heat styling provides a fun way to switch things up and when you’re creative with accessories you can hold on to sleeker strands for quite a while. Here are my 5 favorite ways to extend my blowout for a few extra days.
So hey, remember that time that Farrah Abraham was staying at a hotel in Beverly Hills and then started arguing with other guests at the hotel? And then when a security guard came to escort her away from those poor guests, she flipped out and assaulted him? You remember! According to the security guard and several witnesses, Farrah hit the poor man with her forearm and grabbed his face and shook it. Then, when police arrived, she told them to “f-ck off” several times, which, you know, isn’t great. She was taken to jail and stayed there for a good long while until she was released, and a few weeks later, she was officially charged with battery and resisting arrest. Pretty much from the very moment she was released from jail, she’s been telling anyone and everyone that she’s not guilty. She’s said that she was set up because she’s famous , that she’s being bullied by everyone who claims she’s guilty … you know, just classic Farrah denial. But the fact remains that several witnesses, including police officers, saw what actually happened, and they all agree that Farrah broke the law. So, famous or not, she’s facing jail time. When she was officially charged, the word was that she could spend a maximum of 18 months in jail for her crimes (the ones she committed that night at the hotel, not the ones she’s committed against humanity over the years). Also when she was officially charged, her first court date was set for today. So what happened?! According to a new report from Radar Online, Farrah was offered a plea deal. If she agreed to the deal, then the battery charge would be dropped and instead, she’d be charged with trespassing, a misdemeanor. She wouldn’t go to jail at all, but she’d be on probation for three years, and she’d be required to take 26 anger management classes and do some community service. As part of the agreement, she’d also stay away from the hotel where this whole nightmare went down. It sounds like a pretty great deal, right? You have to imagine that there were cameras at the hotel that perhaps caught some of Farrah’s fit, but even if there wasn’t, police officers probably make pretty convincing witnesses in court. Besides, Farrah is a single mother. Wouldn’t she want to take this deal if it means avoiding jail time, just so she could be there for her daughter? If she had the slightest bit of common sense, she’d agree to the plea deal and be done with it. But, as we all know, she does not have the slightest bit of common sense. And so when she was offered the deal in court today, she did not take it. As her attorney explained, Farrah isn’t into the idea of pleading guilty to trespassing because “She was clearly allowed and permitted into the hotel so there is no reason to agree to that.” But as Farrah herself told the site, “I’m not accepting the offer because I’m not guilty.” “I have gone through a lot of counseling and therapy,” she claimed. “I am also very mentally stable and I have no aggressive issues.” “I can literally submit that to my lawyer, show that to the judge and it would still override this fake offer.” How funny is it that she actually siad “I am very mentally stable and I have no aggressive issues”? There aren’t any official rules on it or anything, but it seems like people with no aggressive issues wouldn’t cause such a ruckus in a hotel that they’d be escorted out by a security guard. And non-aggressive people certainly wouldn’t tell police to go f-ck themselves. As for the “very mentally stable” part, well, there are hours upon hours of Teen Mom footage to prove that wrong , not to mention footage from her other reality shows, plus her social media accounts. But sure, girl, whatever you say. Farrah also said “I clearly had a valet and I was not trespassing. I didn’t batter someone.” “This is just, to me, another form of, again, ‘No celebrity face, there would be no case.'” Does she honestly think she’s so famous that all these people would make up some story about her assaulting a security guard? And even if she was, why would that happen? What does anyone stand to benefit from her going to jail over this? View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham: Facing Jail Time For Assault! Still Hilariously Denying Everything! Farrah is due back in court on September 21st, so we’ll have to wait until then to see how everything plays out.
I have no idea who Bridget Malcolm is, but I know that I want to get her pregant…even if it involves throwing my sperm at her as she walks by me on the street, because she’s just that good, so good, that she probably wouldn’t acknowledge me, and I need to take matters into my own hands, to breed with her…but I doubt I’d like her that much if I had to see her, listen to her or whatever.. I just googled her, she’s a Bridget Malcolm model…no wait a Victoria’s Secret model, who is currently in a fight because people are calling her too think or anorexic…how is that possible…there’s no such thing as too skinny…especially when you have big tits.. Here is her instagram…mad at you skinny shamers… Can we STOP with the skinny shaming please? I am extremely fit and healthy and am not in the slightest way anorexic. I have worked hard to look like this and am proud of my body. I may not be the curviest but I am a woman who has every right to look the way I do. Maybe today take a look inside yourself and wonder why you feel the need to shame strangers over the Internet about their bodies. Peace and love to you all – let’s change the conversation I take it back, I don’t want to get her pregnant, her face amazing…but here she is for Elle Australia… The post Bridget Malcolm for Elle Australia in Bikinis of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .
It has become almost second nature nowadays that the moment a film is the slightest bit successful and has the scant possibility of a sequel that a second or third, or in some cases even a fourth, movie is thought to be a certainty. So it’s hard to imagine that the hugely popular Bridesmaids was a one-off, but that’s exactly as Kristen Wiig wanted it. In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar , Wiig made it clear that she has no interest in penning a sequel (with co-writer Annie Mumolo) to her 2011 hit. “It wasn’t a hard decision,” she says. “We knew during the first one that this was it. We would have made a lot of money if there was a second one, but that’s not my goal in my creative life.” For now Wiig is undoubtedly focused on her upcoming film, Girl Most Likely , with Darren Criss, that opens on July 19th. You can check out the Girl Most Likely trailer here!
I am the worst celebrity blogger, not only am I not recognized by the mainstream media as a celebrity blogger, but I am also located in Canada, so far away from the celebrities, until today, when I found out that Jennifer Lawrence has been in town filming X-Men, and has probably been in town the last 3 months filming X-Men, and I haven’t had the slightest idea since I don’t leave my house, when you’d think this would be a huge deal for a dude from canada with a celebrity blog. Like I’d be out there walking the streets looking for her, calling her name, hoping to bump into her….because it’s not a very big city…but I don’t leave my house for anything but TEEN MOM FARRAH . That’s gotta change, but why bother, when the paparazzi are snapping off fucking peeping tom thong shots of her…I can just watch from the comfort of my own soiled matters, mouldy, basement of hell. There’s less chance of being arrested this way, cuz you know Jennifer Lawrence isn’t down with this Jesus in ways that would involve her willingly letting me singing her love songs and holding her hand and gazing in her eyes as we plan our future.

Not to be outdone by Jennifer Lopez ‘s reign of nip-slip terror, this week Katy Perry and her 32DDs set off some major fireworks by slipping just the slightest hint of nip on stage. Never mind the fact that she looks like she’s about to deep-throat a gay pride flag, look deep into Katy’s cleavage (like we need to twist your arm) and you’ll see a pink patch of areola peeking out from the left side of her shirt. Now that’s a part of Katy worth beating your meat to. See a closeup of Katy Perry ‘s nip slip near-miss after the jump!
We slide down music’s next great slippery slope in Bigger Than The Sound. By James Montgomery Tupac’s hologram at the 2012 Coachella music festival Photo: Getty Images On Sunday, Tupac Shakur thrilled audiences at Coachella , which was rather notable, considering he’s been dead since 1996. Of course, it wasn’t actually Tupac who shared the stage with Dre and Snoop, but rather a hologram, one that cost nearly a half-million dollars to make and probably would’ve blown the collective minds of 100,000 stoned white kids (“BRO, I JUST SAW TUPAC’S GHOST”) had reports of its Coachella premiere not leaked early. And while it wasn’t the first time this level of trickery has been employed live — Madonna used the same technology at the 2005 Grammys when she performed the Gorillaz, as have well-moneyed folks like Celine Dion and the Black Eyed Peas (not surprisingly, a holographic pop star has also been selling out venues in Japan since 2010) — Holo-pac represents something else … something a tad more unsettling. Because, to the best of my knowledge, this was the first time anyone decided it would be a good idea to resurrect a long-dead music icon for the sole purpose of a performance. I’m willing to bet it won’t be the last. Whether or not that’s a good thing is largely up to you. Part s
I’m sorry, but I haven’t got the slightest idea who this Evelyn Lozada chick is. I know I say that a lot, but seriously? Anyone? I’m guessing she’s one of those Real Housewives Of I Don’t Give A Crap or she’s married to a football player. Either way, I’ve never ever heard of her. Luckily, she has some nice big qualities that I enjoy in my nobodies and she’s not afraid to show them off on the beach in a little lingerie-like bikini. Nicely done… Whoever you are.
