VH1 Sit down haters! Donna Explains Her Horrible “Black Ink Crew” Tatt After she became the subject of fodder for that horrid gangrene adjacent tattoo on the “Black Ink Crew” premiere , Donna’s got an explanation. As previously reported the tattoo artist did a coverup tatt on a new customer who wanted to wipe away the memories of her ex-boyfriend that included a scar on her ankle. The customer enlisted Donna for the job to “black it out” and black it out she did—-into a botched frostbitten mess complete with flowers and butterfly blotches. At least we think they’re butterflies… WTF IS THIS LMFAOOOOOOO #BlackInkCrew pic.twitter.com/MOnjh4jE6i — Afro Mama (@BeyTaughtMee) December 7, 2017 Girl, what?! According to Donna, however, her critics have it all wrong, and we should study different tatt techniques. “I need my tattoo “critics” to do their research on new & different tattoo techniques,” wrote Donna. “I am an artist.” Let’s be very clear here. Donna’s fun to watch and one of the standouts on the show with her fearless transparency about her personal life and entertaining antics around 135th—-but that tattoo was NOT the business, boo boo. We’ll tune in next week though! What’d YOU think about Donna’s “Black Ink Crew” premiere tattoo?
Kento Nara/Future Image/WENN.com An NYT Op-Ed Suggests Trump Is An Accidental Buddhist, And People Aren’t Having It Ben Dolnick, a writer for the New York Times, is getting completely obliterated on this fine Friday afternoon after an opinion piece he published about the Cheeto-crusted chump-in-chief . The title of the piece is “Donald Trump, Accidental Buddhist” which is already problematic, but when the NTY Opinion account tweeted another caption with the link to the article it made things even worse. When Trump refers to himself in the third person, is he expressing not a personality disorder but an intuitive grasp of the subtlest Buddhist teachings? https://t.co/8iwLcuTpQL — NYT Opinion (@nytopinion) December 8, 2017 This is Twitter–so seeing a headline like this definitely isn’t going to drive people to go and actually read an article. Off of the suggestion alone that Trump might have any sort of grasp of Buddhist teachings, the New York Times and the author of the piece are being dragged back to journalism school. Though some people in the replies are saying that the headline doesn’t necessarily reflect the point of the entire piece, most didn’t make it past the idea that Trump doesn’t have a personality disorder or that he preaches anything taught in Buddhism. The New York Times printed this? — Eddy Roger Parker (@eddyrogerparker) December 8, 2017 Who’s going to read past this laughably incoherent headline? — DestroyTheGOP (@GenXResistance) December 8, 2017 Hit the flip to see even more people dragging Ben Dolnick, the NYT writer who thought this story was a good idea. One thing is for sure–if Donald Trump was ever a Buddhist, he would believe in karma, and we can only hope that he’s got a lotttttt of bad karma coming back at him very soon.
Gabby Douglas and Simone Biles helped lead the US Women’s Gymnastics team to gold victory tonight, as the “final five” out performed the rest of the Olympic contenders by a whopping 8 points. Biles in particular blazed past the competition , scoring the highest with a 15.933. Via People : The U.S. Women’s Gymnastics team entered the Rio Olympic Arena as clear favorites to win the gold. The crowd roared as they entered the arena with determined looks on their faces. So how did the favored team perform on Tuesday afternoon? Here’s a hint: Like every champion women’s gymnastics squad, they’ve now got their own nickname: The Final Five. The five gymnasts – Simone Biles, Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman, Laurie Hernandez and Madison Kocian – showed their dominance in every category and walked away with the gold, winning by more than eight points. The Russian Federation took silver and China won bronze. After their victory, Biles shared a simple yet powerful tweet: “Dreams DO come true.” The first rotation was vault. Biles, Hernandez and Raisman each posted scores above 15, with Biles scoring the highest, at 15.933. Congrats ladies! USA! USA! Twitter/Getty
Lawyer Explains Why Trump’s Clinton Assassination “Joke” Is Actually Bullying When is Trump ever not in the news for offending someone? The gut of his whole campaign seems to be based on making outrageous assumptions and telling offensive “jokes”…but are they really jokes??? Earlier today he joked that people who are against Hillary Clinton’s candidacy could exercise their “second” amendment rights as an answer. Many were obviously offended at his suggestion of assassinating Clinton as a “joke”. And what about his other “jokes”? The racists jokes about Muslims in the U.S. and Mexicans? Or when he used the phrase “my African American” (Not a joke, but equally cringeworthy). Today a professor and lawyer from Dallas perfectly summed up Trump’s character in a series of tweets. The mini-dissertation blew the minds off Trump supporters, of course, making them double-back on their theory that Trump is a “straight shooter” (no pun intended) and “says it how it is’. So is he trying to get our former First Lady murked or nah? Jason P. Steed explains how damaging Trumps humor actually is. Is this real? Is #Trump now hinting at armed revolt if Clinton wins? #Trumpism https://t.co/riCb1jOixz — Jason P. Steed (@5thCircAppeals) August 9, 2016 Hit the flip for the rest. It gets good.
Bless the Natural Environment Research Council’s heart, for they opened up a can of worms that proved impossible to seal back up. According to Fortune , while the state-of-the-art $288 million vessel is being built, the council conducted a poll for people to vote on a name. James Hand, communications manager for The Independent Association of Prep Schools, decided to throw the name “Boaty McBoatface” into the ring…and it stuck. “I read the story about naming the ship on the BBC website on Thursday and some of the entries were really funny – my favourite was Clifford The Big Red Boat,” Hand told the BBC . “I thought I would throw one into the ring. By Friday night it was leading by a couple of thousand, and when the site crashed on Sunday it was leading by 8,000. It’s been utterly bizarre. “I’ve apologised profusely to the people behind the website,” he went on. “It was actually nothing to do with me. It was my suggestion but the storm that has been created has legs of its own.” Hand is quite embarrassed that his name – which, as of press time, is leading by far more than 8,000 – was so popular. He tweeted an apology to the NERC, who told him not to be sorry, because the naming process was fast becoming the most popular topic on the internet. Other suggestions are more geared towards celebrating British scientists and explorers, including David Attenborough and Henry Worlsey. “We’ve had thousands of suggestions made on the website since we officially launched; many of them reflect the importance of the ship’s scientific role by celebrating great British explorers and scientists,” a spokesperson for the NERC said. “We are pleased that people are embracing the idea in a spirit of fun.”
According to my sources, Ariel Winter had her 18th birthday yesterday. And I’m sure that’s big news for anybody out there who still watches Modern Family . You can finally stop fast-forwarding through her scenes and watch them in slo-mo instead. Or even go frame by frame if they’re in a trampoline store or something. To be honest though, that show really went downhill ever since they ignored my suggestion to set an episode (or episodes) at a Jello wrestling tournament. Oh well. There’s always next season, I guess. » view all 12 photos Photos: PacificCoastNews Continue reading →
Netflix Makes Netflix And Chill Button That Dims Lights Netflix & chill is always a good idea but the good people at Netflix just made that special night even more easier! Via Engadget : At the 2015 World Maker Faire this weekend, the company unveiled its prototype and instructions for a big button that it calls “The Switch.” When you hit it, The Switch dims the lights, activates your phone’s Do Not Disturb feature and gets Netflix ready for the streaming ahead. Think of it as a Netflix and Chill button, but with maybe less Chill. The Netflix Switch is powered by a Particle Core, an Arduino-compatible development kit that features on-board WiFi. There’s also a battery, a bunch of LEDs and an IR transmitter that mimics the IR signal found on Netflix-compatible TVs. Netflix lists everything you need (including Philips’ Hue lighting system), but you’ll want to have a basic understanding of electronics, web servers and how APIs work before getting started. If the project is a little out of your reach, the good news is that Netflix is taking proposals for its next build. Just head over to the “Make It” site and share your suggestion in the relevant box. Check out how the button works below… Would you cop the #NetflixAndChill button??
Even if you’ve never seen a single episode of Game of Thrones, you’re probably aware that the show is as famous for its incredibly graphic content as for its epic world-building and jaw-dropping plot twists. This means not only are we treated frequent bloodshed, but regular nudity, as well. And in the past, when the Seven Gods were good to us, it meant naked Emilia Clarke . Unfortunately, those days are done, and Clarke vowed that she wouldn’t appear in any more nude scenes at the end of the show’s third season. Co-star Oona Chaplin says Emilia told producers, “I want to be known for my acting, not my breasts.” Had we been present, we would’ve argued that she can be known for all three, but what’s done is done. In fact, rather than going back on her no-boobies pledge, the actress has doubled-down. Back in March, we learned that Clarke turned down a role in 50 Shades of Grey , and in a recent interview with The Daily Mail, she claimed that she’s flat-out not a fan of on screen sex. “Sex scenes should be more subtle,” Clarke says. “I’m British, so I cringe at that sort of thing anyway — I can’t stand it. “I don’t want to have sex thrown in my face and I’ve always thought the suggestion is so much more titillating than the act itself.” Fortunately for us, she didn’t take that stance early in the show’s run, and the Naked Mother of Dragons will live on in rerun-form through eternity. Watch Game of Thrones online to relive some of the series’ most boob-tastic moments.
I’m pretty sure nobody cares about the Grammys anymore, but I’m still glad Rolling Stone and Google Play held their own pre-Grammy party. Because it made a great excuse for Sophie Simmons , aka Gene Simmons’ hot daughter, to show off her serious talents. Anyway, I don’t think Sophie’s up for any awards Sunday night, unless they finally took my suggestion and added Bustiest Rock Star Daughter as a category. Because if they want people to pay attention, they’re going to need a whole lot more where this came from. Photos: WENN.com Continue reading →
Lady Gaga and Perez Hilton are immersed in an EPIC Twitter feud, with the singer accusing the celebrity gossip mainstay of harassing her and her family. Tension between the two had already been running high, but went into overdrive after fan informed Gaga that Hilton was spotted at her apartment building. Gaga allegedly confirmed that with security, then went OFF on Perez: “STAY AWAY FROM ME + MY FAMILY YOU ARE SICK TRYING TO RENT AN APARTMENT IN MY BUILDING TO STALK ME. LEAVE ME ALONE!!!” ” DO I NEED TO BE SHOT IN THE HEAD FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT HIM AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT HARASSES ME HAS GONE TOO FAR? IM A HUMAN BEING…” “I just want to make music+make people smile. Im sorry to all the fans who are trying to enjoy whats supposed to be a happy time. Gone too far.” On Friday, Gaga slammed the gossip blogger, who had been openly sharing his distaste for the singer’s music (and his unabashed love for Katy Perry’s). Gaga said, referring to the hip injury that derailed her tour earlier this year: “Still have the text Perez sent me of me in a wheelchair w the words KARMA written across + Madonna pointing a gun at me. Day of my accident.” “Please little monsters do not be affected by someone like this NOTHING merits this kind of hatred. Im ok & I always survive. Ignore him. Just Dance.” Perez responded by re-tweeting some posts from Joseph Kahn, who also faced the wrath of Gaga’s insane fans after giving praise to Katy Perry’s “Roar” : “I am over Gaga’s fan base behavior. Race insults, death threats, homophobic slurs. I’ve never seen such awfulness on behalf of any singer,” Kahn tweeted, with Perez re-posting. Perez eventually released a statement directly addressing his feud with Gaga: “My heart hurts that my former very good friend Lady GaGa, a person I used to call my ‘wifey’ and traveled the world with, is making very public, untrue allegations about me on Twitter.” “While it is still too painful for me to go into detail about why I chose to no longer make her a part of my life, I will say that I am a critic and not a stalker.” “Any allegation that I am stalking her is utterly false, defamatory and now appears to be putting me in danger.” “I will continue to be a critic – in a way that is not mean or involves name-calling, and I will continue to have an opinion and talk about music and songs, like GaGa’s ‘Applause’ “. “As the suggestion that I pose a danger to GaGa is preposterous, if fans want to send a message of support, they should buy her music instead of sending me death threats.” Or offer sexual favors to others who buy the single, perhaps.
