Take a look at this hands-on demonstration of the coveted iPhone X (that’s 10, not “X”) by Black tech aficionado Marques Brownlee. What do you think? You spending your hard-earned coin on this new toy?
Source: ANGELA WEISS / Getty Jay-Z closed out The Meadows Music and Arts Festival in New York City with a banger of a set, performing throwback hits like “Big Pimpin” all the way to hits like “Bam” from his recently released album 4:44. But one song in particular stood out from the rest. Hov dedicated his song “The Story Of O.J.” to football player/activist Colin Kaepernick and late comedian/activist Dick Gregory during his 90 minute set. “I want to dedicate this song to Colin Kaepernick tonight,” Hov said. “I want to dedicate this to Dick Gregory. I want to dedicate this song to anyone that was held back and you overcame.” Many believe Kaepernick, who is currently a free agent in the NFL, is being blacklisted for refusing to stand during the National Anthem in protest of this country’s history of police brutality. When 4:44 dropped this summer, Jay-Z explained in detail the motivation behind the song in one of his many TIDAL-exclusive footnotes . “We tend as black people — because we never had anything, which is understandable — we get to a place and we just think we separate ourselves from the culture,” he says “Like where O.J. will get to a space where he’s like, ‘I’m not black, I’m O.J.’ Like Tiger Woods will get to a space and think, ‘I’m above the culture.’ That same person when he’s playing golf and playing great, you’re protected, but when you’re not, they’re gonna put pictures of you drunk driving and embarrass you, and the world will eat you up and spit you out.” IMAGE/VIDEO CREDIT: Getty/Instagram

CNN/Youtube Clay Travis’ Comments On ESPN’s Decision Not To Fire Jemele Hill Clay Travis of Fox Sports and Outkick the Coverage shocked CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin on Friday after he made a completely unnecessary comment during a segment about ESPN’s current Jemele Hill situation. It all happened while discussing the network’s decision not to fire or suspend “SC6” anchor Jemele Hill for calling our white supremacist “president” a white supremacist. Travis is a very vocal conservative as well as a critic of ESPN–when asked about their decision he said the only things he “completely” believed in were “the First Amendment and boobs.” Just went on @cnn and said I only believe in two things completely, the first amendment and boobs and the host lost it. Need video now. — Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) September 15, 2017 Of course, being a female anchor talking to him, Brooke was especially taken aback. “I just want to make sure I heard you correctly as a woman anchoring this show. What did you just say? You believe in the First Amendment and B-double-O-B-S?” He responded: “Boobs. Two things that have only never let me down in this entire country’s history: the First Amendment and boobs.” Travis was–for some reason–proud of himself for his statement. Somewhat luckily, the comments underneath his tweet patting himself on the back are of a pretty negative. Are you 12? — Tony Posnanski (@tonyposnanski) September 15, 2017 It’s unclear if the “boobs” comment was complete ignorance while trying to be amusing, or if he added that in because the person utilizing their first amendment rights, Jemele Hill, is a woman. Either way, the comment was about as funny as watching grass grow and wasn’t in good taste for a serious political conversation.
So, despite what sounded a lot like denials that she was planning anything of the sort, Farrah Abraham went topless and masturbated on camera . Her camshow wasn’t really a surprise to us, since we’d told you that it was reportedly in the works. But her mother, Debra Danielsen, says that she was shocked by it. When we say “despite what sounded like denials,” we’re perhaps being overly delicate. Just a couple of days ago, Farrah Abraham straight-up denied having a new sex tape in the works. She’s famously done porn before, so maybe she was just reiterating that she wasn’t going to bang a guy on camera. Or maybe Farrah was quibbling over the differences between a livestream and a “tape.” (Not that cameras have tape anymore, but that’s another story) During the video, Farrah bared her breasts and, after showing off a vibrator that she says that she likes, began using it on her genitals for the benefit of the viewers. Eventually, the livestream hit paywall. Quite a few viewers — like, more than you’d think — were willing ot cough up $20 to keep on watching, even though there are countless terrabytes of completely free porn floating about on the interwebs. Not only was viewership more than we might have expected, but it looks like it was more than CamSoda had anticipated. Because the site apparently crashed twice from high traffic. What a world. In an interview with RadarOnline , Farrah Abraham’s mother, Debra Danielsen, says that she was dismayed at the news of Farrah’s webshow. She’s been trying to improve her relationship with Farrah, but it looks like she just couldn’t help but admit how she really felt. “I had no clue about it. I’m speechless. I know my daughter has been trying to change her image. She’s been doing professional things.” Well, being a camgirl is a “professional thing,” from a certain point of view. It sounds like Debra worried that she’d said too much, because she quickly pivoted to Farrah and Farrah’s daughter, Sophia. “They’re my world, I really feel everyone has things in their life they have to deal with.” That’s true enough. “My goal is to be close with my family and to love them. I want them to help me and I want to help them.” Maybe giving out interviews about how shocked you are isn’t the best way to do that, Debra. To say that Farrah Abraham and Debra Danielsen have had a “rocky” relationship is an understatement. Farrah has spoken out in the past about suffering abuse as a child. And then there was the 2010 incident in which Farrah says that her mother beat her bloody , and that the injuries inflicted upon Farrah were so severe that Farrah describes one officer as having pointed a gun at Debra’s head to prevent further violence. Awful, frightening stuff. Don’t get us wrong, Farrah is a generally ridiculous human being and can be annoying and outright racist. But absolutely no one deserves to be the victim of a domestic assault. Least of all at the hands of their parent. To be honest, we can’t wrap our heads around why Farrah would seek to reconnect with her mother, but they’ve taken what we’d characterize as baby-steps towards reconciliation. We have to wonder why Farrah chose to do this. Money, obviously. We’d never shame her or anyone else for doing a camshow. Voluntary sex work — whether you’re stripping, camming, or a straight-up escort — should never be shameful. It’s honest work and sex workers deserve respect and support. In Farrah’s case, we wonder if there was an ulterior motive. It was only a few months ago that Farrah Abraham’s racist tirade was caught on camera, earning her the ire of other TV personalities. (And also just of anyone who isn’t a big fan of racism) It’s true that Farrah hasn’t been doing a lot of sex-related stuff lately, but maybe she set this up to try to pivot her image. Better to be seen as sexy than racist, after all. View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham: A Ridiculous, Sometimes X-Rated Life in GIFs
The Teen Mom franchise has produced a lot of entertainment. It’s also churned out some reality stars who aren’t such great people. Chelsea Houska is one of the exceptions, though. She loves her children and just generally doesn’t come across as vapid or that much of a hot mess. So … color us surprised that Chelsea Houska’s in trouble. Like, legal trouble. Don’t worry — despite what Teen Mom ‘s editors might show you, Chelsea Houska doesn’t neglect her daughter in favor for her baby. In fact, the alleged violation for which she’s been singled out has nothing to do with being a mom at all. Not directly, anyway. Chelsea Houska was one of 21 recipients of sternly worded letters (anything from the government is stern; it’s hard to “smile” in legalese). From the FTC. And it all has to do with Instagram ads. You know, when a celebrity poses with some kind of weight loss tea or talks about how much they love their new, like, makeup kit while showing the kit and saying the name of the brand? The kind of thing that we’ve seen from a bazillion celebs. It’s what got a bunch of haters to slam Amy Roloff the other day. This isn’t about income disclosure. That would be a letter from the IRS and, frankly, probably a lot scarier. But the Federal Trade Commission has had it up to here with celebrities who don’t “properly disclose” their ads. The FTC argues that merely tagging a brand counts as an endorsement. They’re real sticklers about their rules. Just like how pharmaceutical commercials (here in the US, pretty much the only place on the planet where you’re allowed to advertise prescription drugs) have to list all of the many ways that their drug might somehow harm or kill you … Just like how commercials have to list that the people speaking are paid actors (even if it’s in the fine print that nobody reads) … … Instagram ads are supposed to be tagged plainly. With “#ad.” And apparently a number of stars, including Chelsea Houska and Farrah Abraham, haven’t exactly been doing that. We’d question whether anyone old enough to use Instagram is naive enough to think that those transparent advertisements are just celebrities casually plugging products for fun. Like, if someone talks about liking their favorite soda, maybe they just do that. But an Instagram post about it, mentioning the brand and holding up the label for the photo? You’d think that you’d have to be a fool to not realize that, at the very least, that star has gotten some free stuff out of the deal. In most cases, they’re monetizing it. On the other hand … the world is full of fools and they deserve honesty, too. Instagram ads can be a huge source of money, from a regular Instagram model to Kylie Jenner. Whether it’s a fitness model showing off the protein powder that they almost definitely don’t use to a reality star showing off a corset that almost definitely didn’t make her lose weight, Instagram ads are a huge business. We can understand why the FTC feels the need to clamp down … even if “#ad” looks so tacky in people’s captions. We wonder if maybe the FTC needs to reconsider some of its rulings, though. Sure, it’s a big business — some public personalities pull down six figures a year on Instagram ads alone. (Others are said to pull down six figures per post … mostly just Kylie Jenner) But … are there similar rules in place for product placement on television shows and in films? When someone on television drinks a specific name-brand soda or even walks in front of a sign for a fast food place, that’s not a coincidence. Usually, the company paid for that to happen. “Ad” doesn’t show up anywhere on the screen. Some might argue that featuring something in your social media posts is akin to a film’s product placement rather than being more like a commercial. Technology changes all of the time. Sometimes it takes the law a while to catch up.
As we know, Danielle Mullins is not getting her own makeover show . It was totally in the works (if not yet a done deal), but not anymore. That’s what happens when you have a falling out with the media company that represents you. That company stated their reasons for terminating their relationship, but now Danielle is speaking out and sharing her side. In a surprising number of cases, 90 Day Fiance is a story about people journeying across the globe and leaving behind friends and family for love. They get married and start families. A lot of them seem to be set up for their happily ever afters. But, as always, there are a few bad apples in the bunch. In the case of 90 Day Fiance , these “apples” are relationships. Danielle Mullins’ relationship with Mohamed Jbali was rotten to the very core. From the start of their marriage, there were problems. Danielle accused Mohamed Jbali of cheating on her and demanded that they have sex. ( Danielle and Mohamed did bang , but only the once — to consummate their marriage) Mohamed accused Danielle of lying about her criminal record and of misusing his credit card and identity. He also complained that Danielle had a foul body odor and that she needed to seek medical help for it. The end result? A divorce so bitter that, even though they’re now exes, Danielle has been actively seeking to have Mohamed deported. Mohamed Jbali is done with 90 Day Fiance , and it looks like Danielle is, too. But Danielle was all set to get her own makeover show. She’d even lost weight in preparation for it. Thanking her haters for her new career , Danielle Mullins had signed with GR Media, the same company that had represented Mama June for her makeover show. GR Media told their side of things. It seemed that there was a battle of wills over control over Danielle Mullins’ social media accounts. Danielle wanted to post photos of her friends and family. She apparently also used social media to answer questions about restricted information. Allegedly, Danielle demonstrated such an instability that GR Media nearly took out a restraining order against her. Well, now Danielle is sharing her side of things in a lengthy Facebook post. “I would like to thank my supporters for supporting me this season. Due to difference of opinion, and much speculation by parties, it is unfortunate that me, GR Media, and BMB Management have to part ways.” And maybe we’ll get some answers. Or Danielle’s version of them. “I am writing this to clear up a couple of things that was stated in an article by Starcasm giving Gina’s side. I signed with BMB Management which is owned by Brandilyn Snail and I have never talked to her nor met while being signed to her company. My dealings were with Gina R odriguez and I only talked to her a few times on the phone and rest of the activity was done by text messaging.” Okay. “I only talked to Natasha Fett a couple of times on phone to and then rest by text messaging. I have been accused of extremely unstable behavior by all three which is not the case. How can they say that when they have never met me in person.” For the record, you can totally come across as unstable via text message. People do it all of the time. “They get that by what is already out there and has been portrayed on the show and that is sad to say that about someone you have never met. Furthermore they set me up to fail at this makeover excepting me to lose 20 pounds in a week to two weeks.” But it sounds like there’s hope for Danielle’s fans, as she still wants to go through this. “I am moving on from this on my own weight lose journey or with the help of another manager.” “I am grateful for the connections I’ve made and the friendships I’ve formed during this time. I wish continued success to my former management team and I implore my fans to take caution when reading certain stories as they pertain to the events that supposedly have taken place.” We’ll give her this much — she sounds super professional. “Again, I wish the best for all involved and I am looking forward to what the future holds for myself. Thank You ” If she does her weight loss journey on her own, we can expect a way lower budget and maybe some social media videos. If another agency decides to sign her, maybe she’ll get along better with them. In that case, we could be looking at Danielle Mullins on her own show. It would be a limited series, sure. But she’d still keep her name out there. Only time will tell, we guess. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Couples: Who’s Still Together?
