Barack Obama took a moment after landing in Warsaw, Poland to speak out on the senseless killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile this afternoon…and let American citizens know that killings like these should concern all of us, not just the Black Lives they directly affect: “We have seen tragedies like these too many times. When incidents like this occur, there’s a big chunk of our fellow citizenry that feels as if – because of the color of their skin – they are not being treated the same. And that hurts. And that should trouble all of us. This is not just a black issue. It’s not just a Hispanic issue. It’s an American issue. All fair-minded people should be concerned.” TIME
11 Police Shot, 4 Dead After Dallas Protests Protesters have taken to the streets in various cities across the US to demonstrate against police brutality, excessive force, and senseless killings in the wake of the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, less than 24 hours apart from one another. Now, just as a protest in Dallas came to a close tonight, rapid-succession gunfire filled the streets and resulted in the injury of 11 officers, causing fatalities for four. Via NBCDFW : Three officers are dead, and at least seven others are injured in downtown Dallas Thursday, Dallas Police Chief David Brown says. The entire statement follows: Tonight it appears that two snipers shot ten police officers from elevated positions during the protest/rally. Three officers are deceased, two are in surgery and three are in critical condition. An intensive search for suspects is currently underway. No suspects are in custody at this time. We ask that any citizen with information regarding the shootings tonight call 214-671-3482. We will provide more information once it is available. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers tonight. DART says one of its officers has been killed, and three others have non-life threatening injuries. The gunshots rang out about 9 p.m. following a protest and rally held over two people killed in police shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota this week. The shootings took place as the rally and march were ending. Scores of police officers arrived downtown following the shooting, which took place near Main and Market streets and a block from the Old Red Courthouse building. Since that was printed, the number shot rose to 11 and death toll rose to 4. The Dallas Police Chief has blamed the incident on two snipers aiming at police, however live Twitter accounts of the action from people on the ground are giving totally different accounts of what is going on. INTERESTING. Twitter has also reportedly dispelled rumors that a protester spotted on the scene with a firearm he has the legal right to carry with him was one of the alleged snipers responsible for the attack. The man in the photos turned himself in, and the status of his apprehension is unknown. However, reports from 24-hour news networks are saying that Dallas authorities are still reporting that they have no suspects in custody. No word on the race or gender of said snipers or any proof/word if they were at all affiliated with the protest. But we know it’s getting VERY real out here… WFAA
Jacob Roloff will never return to Little People, Big World. The 19-year-old has not appeared on the show for two-years, but he made it crystal clear that he is not interesting in returning in any capacity . He took to Instagram to hit out at how fake the show really is. “I get comments on here all the time about how people ‘miss me on the show’ or telling me I should ‘do a few more episodes’ with the family,” he wrote. “I’m posting this to say that that will never happen.” This all seems to have come out of nowhere considering he patched things up with his mother after not talking to her for quite some time. He then delved deeper into his reasons for not wanting to participate on the show. Reality TV shows are constantly under scrutiny about how real they actually are, but it’s rare for the stars of the show to brand them as fake. Roloff opened up about a recent camping trip on the show and just how manipulated it was. “For the sake of ‘the episode’ and ratings I’ve seen a lot of STORYLINES drawn up (loosely) about our lives,” he said. “And when I was standing here, behind the scenes and watching it from an outside perspective I just couldn’t stop laughing. Laughing at how hard the producers have to try to get us to follow the talking points, and at how ridiculous the talking points are.” He took things one step further by slamming the family as they appear on the show. “The family that is filmed is not my family,” he said. “They are the Roloff Characters and I have scarcely anything in common with them, nor do I want to be a character myself.” He sure seems like his decision is final, but might his family be able to talk him into appearing on the show once more? Could this have an affect on the show’s ratings? Will his family address his claims in an upcoming episode of the show? Hit the comments with your thoughts on the matter.

Ugh, smug couples. As if seeing Tom Hiddleston wearing an “I Love T.S.” tank top weren’t bad enough, now we have to see pictures of them looking like they’re taking engagement photos. Of course Swift’s engagement photos would include cameos by Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, because that is how Swift’s life works. I’m not bitter, I’m just hangry. Swift’s best friend, Britany LaManna posted the photo of the three couples – including herself and husband, Ben – on the porch of Swift’s Rhode Island home. While everyone attempted some form of a pose, Hiddleston and Swift were in their own little world, and quite frankly, we felt like we had walked in on something super intimate. View Slideshow: Tom Hiddleston: 8 Things to Know About Taylor Swift’s New Bae Swift hosted famous friends over the weekend, including Lively, Karlie Kloss, Cara Delevingne, Ruby Rose, Uzo Aduba, Gigi Hadid, and Martha Hunt. The gang wore matching red, white and blue striped bathing suits, and made good use of the bouncy slip and slide put up in Swift’s back yard. Maack is Swift’s best friend since childhood; the singer served as Maid of Honor at her wedding back in February. Regarding Hiddleston, No one really understands the relationship he has with Swift. Some call it a whirlwind romance, while others think it’s a publicity stunt set up to benefit both parties. The fact that these two have been dating for a full three minutes and have already gone on a holiday in Rome, and that Swift has met Hiddleston’s mother, has everyone wondering what TF is going on. By the way, all of this was captured by a photographer that some fans suspect was hired by the couple. A few weeks ago, a source told Us Weekly that Hiddleston was biding his time. As soon as Swift and Calvin Harris broke up, Hiddleston was ready to make a move. Not that Swift minded. “He’s hot, smart, talented, British – everything she’s into,” the source said.

Lohan may have turned 30 this past weekend, but her tits are only about 13 or 14 and her mangled jacked up face is only about 5 and her level of relevancy being 0 is about 4-5 also…I guess the fading into obscurity being unhirable and all that happened around the same time she started jacking up her face… But she’s still Lohan, she’s still the redheaded object of desire, the queen of my universe when I remember she exists and she’s still lookin good enough for me, like a crazy rich wife on AMBIEN to deal with her miserable life shes got everything in…and I believe with her boyfriend’s billions, she will be able to finance a movie of her own and win that Oscar to just prove what both her and I already know…and that is that she’s fucking magic…being broken thanks to fucked up parents just gets in the way of that. I am a forever fan, but no really that committed fan, because I don’t care about this nonsense or people I don’t know, but I like her tits and that is important…oh and I hugged her once and felt her broken soul against my chest, making me want to take her under my wing as I do with most crackwhores and give them a bowl of soup, but at the time, she was still rich and didn’t need billionaire boyfriends to sugar baby…she was her own independent puppet to her family, the media and the industry.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILO WE ALL THOUGHT YOU WOULD DIE AT 22 AND IN A LOT OF WAYS YOU DID…. Here are some of the best pics of her ever….in her CUSTOM LILO bikini….to bring back the good days…. At Least She’s Happy The post Lindsay Lohan’s 30th Birthday of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .
Uh oh! Kim Kadarshian is at the center of another photoshopping scandal. This time is comes from her starring role in Fergie‘s new music video, “M.I.L.F.$”. Fans are commenting on Kim’s insanely small waist in the video, claiming that there is no way it didn’t go through at least one stage of photoshop. https://twitter.com/MionaMartic/status/749274742050394113?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/Katexgaffney/status/749029529457491968?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/weepy420/status/749112007878586369?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw While Kim is […]
Maybe it’s the straight-faced recommendation that you purchase a $15,000 vibrator . Maybe it’s her contribution of the term ” conscious uncoupling ” to the Dictionary of New Age-y Hollywood Bullsh-t . Or maybe it’s just her smug insistence that she’s a self-made woman who cobbled a career together with no help from anyone – even though her father was a high-powered producer, her mother is a famous actress, and her godfather is Steven freakin’ Spielberg. Whatever the reason, people really, really, really don’t like Gwyneth Paltrow. To us, that’s about as mysterious as the fact that people prefer chocolate over kale chips, but apparently the Goopster herself is shocked – shocked ! – that the average American wouldn’t spit if she were on fire. Asked about the fact that she took the number one spot in a 2013 Star magazine “most hated celebrities” poll, Gwinnie griped that she was just being “authentic self” and totes grew up super poor, you guys. You almost have to admire her for non-ironically demonstrating the privileged lack of self-awareness that makes her so unlikable while expressing her confusion about why she’s so universally despised. This interview is like a performance art piece: “First of all I was like, ‘I’m the most hated celebrity?’ More than, like, Chris Brown? What did I do?” sayeth the mother of Apple, Moses and Hadron Collider. (We may have made that last one up.) “All I can do is be my authentic self, but I think there are things about me that make people draw conclusions. For example, there is the perception that I grew up very wealthy and that I was given, you know, that I was sort of raised with a silver spoon in my mouth, which inspires a lot of resentment.” We don’t even know what to say, so we’ll let this Kim Kardashian GIF do the talking: Seriously, though, it’s hilarious that Gwyneth blames the public’s perception of her on the fact that the plebes mistakenly believe she grew up with a Rolls Royce in her driveway, when really it was just four BMWs. If she just once dropped the BS and said, “Yeah, I grew up with privileges most people only dream about; I’m crazy pretentious at times, and I cheated on the food stamp challenge ,” maybe people wouldn’t rather spend a weekend locked in a closet with Kanye and a coked-up Charlie Sheen than sit through one of her movies. Come to think of it, does she still make movies? View Slideshow: 20 Douchiest Gwyneth Paltrow Quotes in Human History
If you haven’t heard, Kylie Jenner and Tyga have gotten back together … again. It’s tough to keep track of how many times we’ve written the statement above since the two first started dating more than a year ago when Kylie was just 17. But this last breakup seemed to be the final one, as many insiders insisted. Naturally, it didn’t last, and after about a month apart, Kyga was back, giving us all the creeps once again. While sources close to Kylie initially claimed the two were back together, but “taking things a lot slower,” their behavior in public and in social media tell a different story. Just a couple days ago, Kylie referred to Tyga as her “husband” on Snapchat and fans everywhere collectively shook their heads. So what’s the deal? Why’d they breakup? Why’d they make up? According to E! News, the two just had to take a break. View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner & Tyga Photos: The Way They Were … Are? (Who the Heck Knows) “They needed a reset,” a source told the site. “Ky is happy. She feels like she needed the time apart but it’s fate.” Spoken like a bona fide 18-year-old. We’ve all been there, right? Yet, as we get older and wiser we wish we could shake these kids and tell them there’s so much more out there. WAY more than Tyga. But we can’t. So we just have to sit here and observe until their toxic relationship eventually self-destructs or Tyga cuts his lip and bleeds to death in a freak accident involving his new diamond-encrusted grill.

The Daily Mail seems to find this guy interesting. The rest of us find him irritating and self-important. Jonathan Cheban, the self-proclaimed “best friend” of Kim Kardashian, was invited to speak on a panel at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, which features people working in the fields of advertising, creative communications and the like. Since his 4 minute appearance on the UK’s Celebrity Big Brother , Cheban has found a tiny bit of fame across the pond, though he once told co-star Gemma Collins that he didn’t need CBB for his career . “It’s not that, I’m huge here,” Cheban told her. “We’re [Keeping Up With The Kardashians ] on in 180 countries!” Fast-forward to June 22nd, and Collins has been reunited with Cheban. The two friends were part of a panel that included social media dude The Fat Jewish (who happened to be wearing shorts with photos of Kim Kardashian’s cry face). “Does she cry a lot?” fellow panelist Katie Hopkins asked Cheban of his bestie. “No, no,” he insisted. “But she has the best crying face. I think she was in tears there [while filming in Bora Bora] because she had lost an earring.” It’s true. Kardashian’s ex-husband, Kris Humphries threw her into the water, and this happened: When asked how he keeps his friendship with Kardashian so strong, Cheban explained that theirs is a “very competitive industry. “We all started at the same place eight or nine years ago and people are envious of us. They want to break up our friendship.” Sage words, Cheebs. “‘How do you do it?” Hopkins asked. “I don’t know,” he answered. “I think God just blessed me.” At dinner later, Cheban was seated next to Martha Stewart, who had no idea who he was or why he was famous. “do you know this guy?? He says he is well known,” Stewart tweeted. “Better photo of Jonathan who is very famous bff of the Kardashians. Who knew!” she wrote a minute later. Jonathan Cheban Replaces BFF Kim Kardashian With Her Lookalike: WATCH Meanwhile, Bragasaurus Rex bitched about losing his suitcase on social media. “I was planning to wear my new Yeezys that no-one else in the world has except me but they are in the suitcase,” he said. “Thank God I have all of my jewellery and my bling. I always have these in my hand luggage, I’m not putting these babies in my suitcase. “This is always with me, all the Cartier stuff.” In the words of Kourtney Kardashian: Jonathan, there are people dying.
