Heavenly Pandering: Kanye West Set To Bring Sunday Service To Joel Osteens Houston Church

Posted on November 12, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Oishi / SplashNews / Splash News Kanye West Set To Bring Sunday Service To Joel Osteen’s Houston Church When it comes to the business of Churches and worship a few names dominate like no other, just like any other business. One of those huge names would be Joel Osteen . Who’s Mega church in Houston has really seen no end to growth in the Houston area. Now it seems Joel has caught wind of what Kanye West is doing with his “ Sunday Service ” and as any smart business man he wants parts. Rumors circulated last month he had invited Kanye to his church but it seems both have agreed on scratching each other back to make that happen. TMZ reports , that Osteen and Non-Voting-Trump-Supporter Kanye West have been talking on the regular. “We’re told the plan is for Kanye to show up at Joel’s 11 AM service in Houston this coming Sunday at the Lakewood Church. Kanye will walk up to the pulpit and have a conversation with Joel that will last between 20 and 30 minutes. Our sources say Joel wants his congregation — which stands 45,000 strong — and his TV audience — which stands at 10 million in the U.S. alone — to hear how Kanye has overcome significant adversity in his life.” If you’re unfamiliar with the Lakewood church they have a morning and a night service in Houston, Texas. The morning conversation is sure to dominate headlines into at least December. While the ones who want to experience Kanye’s “Sunday Service” will have to return in the afternoon. The pairing seems odd given Joel Osteen last flare up in headlines were due to him refusing to shelter hurricane victims. Now it seems he’s welcoming (some would say pandering) the same community he refused in his doors. What could go wrong? View this post on Instagram God wouldn’t have allowed it if He didn’t have a purpose. Nothing can happen to you without His permission. Watch Joel’s new message “Everything Serves His Plan” today on YouTube by clicking the link in bio. #EverythingServesHisPlan #JoelOsteenYoutube A post shared by Joel Osteen (@joelosteen) on Nov 12, 2019 at 8:28am PST

Various Angles Of Tyler, The Creator Dancing To Drake Prove He’s A True Fan

Source: Tim Mosenfelder / Getty Drake did not have the best start to the week after he got booed on stage at the Camp Flog Gnaw music festival in L.A. The music festival, which was started by Tyler, The Creator , featured such artists like Solange , Brockhampton , DaBaby and YG. It was revealed that a surprise guest would take the stage towards the end of the festival and many fans believed it would be Frank Ocean . However, they were in for a surprise when they got everyone other than Mr. Ocean. According to witnesses talking to Complex , the surprises began at 10 p.m. on Sunday starting with A$AP Rocky coming out to perform two songs. Then, Lil Uzi Vert followed with two of his own songs. “Everyone was into it, but people were definitely talking about getting Frank out there,” one fan, Alejandro Cruz, said. Finally, Drake came out and according to witnesses, people were excited at first. But this is when they thought he was only going to do two songs like the rest of the guests. “People were hyped when he first came out, and shocked, too,” Cruz said. “Because no one was really expecting Drake to be there.” However, when Drake kept playing one more song after one more song, people started getting impatient. “I would say the reaction got worse the longer he stayed on,” said one attendee named Breeana Gonzalez. This is win the boos heightened because again, some people thought there was still time for Frank Ocean to make an appearance. Despite the disappointment, some people were still hype for Drake. According to a tweet from Tyler the Creator, “MOSTLY EVERYONE WAS HAVING A GREAT TIME, THOSE SH**S IN THE FRONT AREA WERE THE ONES BEING MAD RUDE, WHICH, I CAN SEE WHY, BUT, NAH, FU** THAT, YALL REPRESENTED ME AND FLOG TO MY GUEST AND MADE US LOOK SOOO ENTITLED AND TRASH.” Tyler seemed to still have a good time, however. Looking over my vids and tyler was so happy. Drake didn’t deserve to go out the way he did. pic.twitter.com/KdRuipl4er — Juicy Jay (@Jayzuesss) November 11, 2019   Like a REALLY good time. Drake last night Tyler dancing to feel no ways #campfloggnaw pic.twitter.com/bn1B1iZiL9 — Bulls (@IBullsl) November 11, 2019   He’s a stan.   Guess the Drake haters will just have to deal.

Tamar Braxton Blamed Homosexuality For Men’s Disinterest And Got DRAGGED Across The Internet

Posted on November 11, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Aaron J. Thornton / Getty Tamar Braxton’s Homophobic Rant Tamar Braxton just can’t help herself, can she? She has been relatively quiet after her spat with the folks at The Real a few weeks ago, but now she is in a whole heap of s*** over an IG post she sent out Sunday night: “The truth is ladies that these dudes out here really be gay!! It ain’t enough money, beauty, hair, babies in the world to keep them!! They want D**K!! Periodt!! It’s nothing wrong with you, but they will find EVERY reason in the world to make u not good enough!! If he lays with you for 3, 4, 10 days and he don’t touch u, it’s NOT YOU!! HE WANT A MAN!! And that’s on my momma.” So a man not wanting to touch one specific woman means he’s gay? Ma’am, maybe he’s just not that into YOU. Tamar sent this out a little after RHOA so fans speculated that this was in reference to the Dennis/Porsha fiasco , but even then, Dennis was with a woman. Regardless, bisexual and pansexual men exist and wanting to be with a man does not mean that person doesn’t also want to be with women. Also, again, and we can’t stress this enough: MAYBE HE DOESN’T WANT YOU, LADY. Stop blaming and demonizing the LGBT community because of cobwebs in your drywall. Tamar: “and that's on my momma!” Tamar's Momma: https://t.co/VCstZA8XDU pic.twitter.com/svND9qkcor — Saint Smith (@SaintSmith_) November 11, 2019 As you can imagine, Tamar’s mentions went up and Twitter blasted the hell out of her. Deservedly so. Peep the beat down. Tamar always doing the absolute most…. pic.twitter.com/W9aeg8Df42 — Eric Targaryen: The Charmed One (@Mndspeak88) November 11, 2019

Watch: Black Trump Supporter Destroyed By NAACP Atlanta President

Y esterday, Trump was in Atlanta for his Black Voices for Trump Coalition . There was tons of buffoonery and one of Trump’s worshipers managed to get himself on television to defend the racist-in-chief. SEE ALSO: Graphic Sex Tape Of Pastor David E. Wilson Cheating On His Wife Has Twitter Torn NAACP Atlanta president Richard Rose and Trump’s Diversity Council director Bruce LeVell were on CNN discussing his clear and dangerous racism. Rose explained, “We take the words of some of the Republicans. As Andrew Gillum said when he was running for governor of Florida, it is the racists who calls this president the racist. It’s Lindsey Graham who said he was racist, xenophobic, and a religious bigot. We can’t disagree with that.” LeVell’s head almost exploded as he ranted, “I have to keep putting this in perspective. It is essential and vital to build Black generational wealth back. Opportunity Zones is a magnificent tool. It’s one of the best tools we have. We can get better, yes. But when you go to an African-American community, ask yourself, who owns the grocery store, the gas stations. I’m one of the largest Black jewelry store owners in the country. I’m African-American … the numbers don’t lie.” Just an important point, Opportunity Zones is a supposed plan to revitalize urban neighborhoods. The program has designated more than 8,000 census tracts across the U.S. as “distressed.” Nonetheless, there are already signs this will only be a bonanza for the wealthy by allowing real estate developers to push out poor people. The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy reports , “This program runs a high risk of displacing low-income people living in communities from which government has historically and systemically disinvested. Low-income communities targeted by Opportunity Zones are overwhelmingly Black.” Areas for these so-called Opportunity Zones are “63 percent Black and only 28 percent white.” LeVell even denied the validity of a Quinnipiac poll that said 80 percent of African-Americans believe Trump is racist. “No. That’s an unfair statement. That’s unfair,” he whined. LeVell tried to praise the low employment numbers, which Rose countered with, “This has nothing to do with this president. None of that has anything to do with this president.All he had to do was maintain what the Obama Administration had started. Now we’ve got tariffs and trade wars going on. This has been a disaster. Economists tell us we’re headed for a slowdown because of the actions of this president.” Watch the clip below: SEE ALSO: Meet Jogger Joe, The Man Who Took Racist Cue From BBQ Becky In Tossing Homeless Man’s Clothes Trump-Supporting DA Calls ‘Ghetto’ Maxine Waters A ‘Bitch,’ Can’t Believe She Hasn’t Been Shot This Colin Kaepernick Retweet Says Everything You Need To Know About The NFL Players’ Anthem Grievance [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3785430″ overlay=”true”]

Whoopi Goldberg And Sunny Hostin Eviscerate Donald Trump Jr. On ‘The View’

Posted on November 8, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Read more here:

“T he View” might be known for their in-fighting but on this day they united in tearing a part Donnie Jr. The lies and tomfoolery were unacceptable to Whoopi Goldberg , Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Abby Huntsman and  Meghan McCain . See Also: Ilhan Omar Reacts To Meghan McCain’s White Tears Donnie Jr.’s hissy fit started immediately when Abby Huntsman grilled him on releasing the whistleblower’s name who exposed 45’s now infamous Ukraine conversation. Huntsman said, “The whole point of releasing a name is to intimidate someone, to threaten someone, and to scare other people from coming out. That’s something that dictators do … that’s not what America does. That’s not what we do.” Donnie tried to defend himself by saying the whistleblower’s name was already out there. Hostin, a former federal prosecutor,  turned to his wife and said, “Kimberly, you’re a lawyer, we have known each other, you’re a former prosecutor. Did you advise your boyfriend that it is a federal crime to out a whistleblower?” Trump Jr. tried to say it wasn’t accurate. Hostin clapped back with, “My law degree says it is,” she said. See the exchange below: See the exchange below: Trump Jr. also tried to come for Behar saying she was once in “blackface,” which made Goldberg jump in. “Being black, I recognize blackface . This I can say. I know it when I see it,” Goldberg said. “Now that you’ve broken this piece of ice, because I guess this is the fight you wanted, are you questioning my character? I didn’t question anybody, I simply said that when you’re talking about your father taking more heat than anyone else [as president], that is not so.” See below: McCain also went in on Trump Jr, about the topic of character. “ Character in politics is important, I believe,” McCain began. “It was how I was raised. It’s the way I view the lens of America, and I understand what you’re saying about policy, but when you’re talking about attacking Gold Star families, who’ve given the ultimate sacrifice more than any of us in this room have given, and you put them through pain, does it make you feel like it was worth it?” Trump Jr. struggled to defend his father attacking McCain’s father, especially when he was fighting cancer. He stressed that he believes his father “ has great character.” A clear disaster.

Spoiled Citrus Spawn Donald Trump Jr. Appears On ‘The View’, Gets Daytime Talk Show Suplexed By Hosts

Posted on November 7, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Lou Rocco / Getty Donald Trump Jr. Appears On “The View” Donald Trump Jr .appeared on “The View” today and it did NOT go well for him, things were so bad in fact that his appearance has been described as “ chaos.” The spoiled citrus spawn sat down with Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Abby Huntsman, Sunny Hostin, and Meghan McCain alongside his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle to discuss his new book “Triggered, his deplorable daddy and his outing of the alleged whistleblower. Things went left (of course) when (our girl) Joy Behar ran down a nice list of horrible things Deranged Dorito has said and done and Donny Jr. clapped back that “We’ve all done things that we regret” while trying to accuse Joy of donning blackface and bringing up alleged comments made about Roman Polanski. “We’ve all done things that we regret. Joy, you have worn blackface,” Trump Jr. said at one point during the contentious segment. “Whoopi, you said that Roman Polanski… it wasn’t ‘rape-rape,’ when he raped a child.” Goldberg snapped back: “Now that you’ve broken this piece of ice, because I guess it is the fight you wanted…are you questioning my character?” “I’m not questioning your character. I’m talking about, you’re questioning my father’s character and I say we all have done and said things,” Trump Jr. said before being interrupted by Goldberg. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the whole taping was “chaotic” and some audience members shouted at the roundtable and argued with specific hosts during commercial breaks. Whoopi allegedly told the audience that their constant booing was “f***g them up” and she snapped on an audience member who tried to chime in on DTJ Jr.’s Polanksi comments. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” the woman said to Goldberg. “Then be quiet and listen to me,” the co-host responded. (The woman was also asked by a member of the show’s staff to stop using her cellphone, another no-no for audience members.) Later, as the woman left the studio with a fellow audience member, she said of Goldberg: “I definitely riled her up. She was so upset.” What. A. Mess. Watch this spoiled citrus spawn on “The View” below. More clips on the flip.

Former ‘The Chi’ Actor Jason Mitchell Denies Sexual Misconduct Claims

Posted on November 7, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Excerpt from:

Source: FayesVision/WENN.com / WENN Actor Jason Mitchell is speaking out against sexual assault allegations that were made against him earlier this year. On Monday (Nov. 4) during his interview with New York’s Power 105.1  The Breakfast Club , Jason Mitchell took time to address both claims, denying any wrongdoing and claims that both in part are misunderstandings. In regards to his departure from Netflix’s “Desperados” in April due to an incident involving an intoxicated female co-worker at a pre-production event in Mexico, Jason states that he was simply looking out for a coworker. “Being the person that I am, I felt responsible to make sure she got home,” Jason Mitchell said. “Because they’re already telling us, like, ‘Don’t take the Ubers, don’t trust these people, don’t jump in a cab, don’t do any of that.’ We’re in Mexico City and we’re in a foreign land and we should stick together. This isn’t where I leave her. So I make sure she got home and the next day, it kind of all slapped me in the face; I’m not sure if her and her significant other had a situation, I made sure she got home but other than that, nothing really happened.” Jason claims that although he did nothing wrong, he was dismissed from the film with pay but without an explanation as to why he was let go, before apologizing for offending anyone. “For anybody who’s been around me, they know I’m one of the most loving, sweet people in the world, but if I did do anything, say anything, make anybody feel any kind of way, you have my deepest apologies,” Mitchell continued. “Like, honestly, my deepest apologies. Because that was never my intention of making anybody feel any sort of way.” Mitchell also denied any wrong doing with former  The Chi co-star Tiffany Boone , who publicly admitted that she felt “unsafe” around the actor. Mitchell claims that the story was pushed by the hit show’s showrunner Ayanna Floyd Davis. “There was actually no situation with Tiffany Boone,” Jason Mitchell said. “She was put in this position because this lady, Ayanna Floyd Davis, she did come out and go to Deadline and made a statement for Tiffany Boone. I was a little taken back by the whole situation that happened, but the actual reason I got let go was because Disney saw what was going on with ‘Desperados’ and they just bought Showtime,” Mitchell explained. “So they decided not to pick up my option. And of course, I’ve been on the show for what was about to be three seasons, I was nominated for an award, so I was asking for more money and all these sorts of things and they just weren’t down to do it.” Mitchell went onto say that while he is an avid supporter of the “Me Too” movement, it’s situations like his that make it hard to stand in solidarity when someone makes a malicious claim. “I really hate to say this, because I’m all for the Me Too movement,” Mitchell continued. “I have two beautiful daughters who I would like to be in the business, so I’m all for the Me Too movement. But I think in this situation, Aryanna tried to use it as a really, really ugly weapon.” Check out the full interview below.

High School Teacher Who Wore Blackface While Pretending To Be Common Placed On Leave

Posted on November 6, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Read this article:

Source: ALEX EDELMAN / Getty These white folks just don’t learn. A California high school teacher who dressed up as Common for Halloween decided he needed to rock blackface to complete his costume. He was placed on administrative leave school officials revealed. A student who goes by the handle @karington_kk filmed the racist spectacle and shared it on her Twitter account on Friday (Nov.1). In the 23-second clip, the teacher can be seen pretending to Common mocking the rappers Microsoft AI commercial in front of the class. The caption for the Tweet read: “Sooooooooo… one of our WHITE teachers at mhs yesterday decided to paint his face so look like common the rapper yesterday,”  Sooooooooo… one of our WHITE teachers at mhs yesterday decided to paint his face so look like common the rapper yesterday. pic.twitter.com/1WudSddCLZ — karrington (@karrington_kk) November 1, 2019 The student who shared the video is not an actual student of the teacher in question Buzzfeed News reports. She received the clip from her friend, whose mother also works as a teacher in Milpitas Unified School District. As for her reasoning for sharing the troubling video, @karington_kk told the internet publication: “We decided to post this to bring this to the eye of the public,” the user said. “He genuinely thought it was okay to come to school like this.” In a statement to BuzzFeed News , school officials revealed Tuesday(Nov.5) he has been placed on leave. “The employee has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation,” said Scott Forstner, the communications specialist of Milpitas Unified School District in Milpitas, north of San Jose.” The teacher’s name has not been revealed due to the school instructing BuzzFeed News not to share it because the situation was “a confidential personnel matter.” The principal of the school, Francis Rojas and Superintendent Cheryl Jordan, sent out a memo to parents and faculty about the incident on Sunday. “Blackface paint has a historical and present-day connotation of racism that demeans those of African ancestry,” the memo reads, with a link to a History.com page about the  racist origins of blackface . “The act was disparaging to our students, parents, colleagues, and the Milpitas community we serve.” “We strive to embed our instruction with cultural and historical content so that our students see themselves in what they learn, and can be proud of who they are,” said Jordan and Rojas. “We are committed to building an inclusive learning community for our students together with you.” The costume would have been great without the blackface. You can peep the original Microsoft commercial featuring Common below. — Photo: ALEX EDELMAN / Getty
