Somebody Lyin’: Bougie Swiss Boutique Clerk Claims She’s Been “Cannibalized” By Oprah’s Charge Of Racism, “It’s Untrue And Absurd”

We know Oprah’s OWN Network has been living the struggle, but she wouldn’t make this kind of thing up, would she?? Swiss Boutique Clerk Says She Never Racially Profiled Oprah Winfrey Nor Denied Her A Look At Expensive Handbag Fawk Rush Limbaugh … Via NYDailyNews The Zurich boutique clerk accused of racially profiling Oprah Winfrey is firing back — claiming the Queen of Talk’s account “is not true” and “absurd.” “I would never say something like that to a customer. Really never,” the unidentified Italian woman told Switzerland’s SonntagsBlick newspaper Sunday, according to a translation from London’s Daily Mail. “I don’t know why she is making these accusations. She is so powerful and I am just a shop girl,” added the shop attendant, who has worked at the posh Trois Pommes shop for five years. “I don’t know why someone as great as her must cannibalize me on TV.” The clerks goes on to say: “I simply told her that it was like the one I held in my hand, only much more expensive, and that I could show her similar bags,” she told SonntagsBlick. “It is absolutely not true that I declined to show her the bag on racist grounds. I even asked her if she wanted to look at the bag. “’She looked around the store again but didn’t say anything else. Then she went with her companion to the lower floor. My colleague saw them to the door. They were not even in the store for five minutes.” Store owner Trudie Goetz publicly defended her employee, telling Reuters, “”This is an absolute classic misunderstanding” possibly caused by the clerk’s imperfect command of English. When asked by the Swiss newspaper what should would say to Winfrey if she had the chance to talk to her again, the clerk responded: “I would apologize and say it was all a misunderstanding,” she said. “ I surely did not intentionally want to insult Ms. Winfrey. “I hope this nightmare ends soon.” The fact that there are conflicting accounts of this story doesn’t lend itself to ending “this nightmare” anytime soon.

Shook Ones: Kanye West Buys Two $1 Million Bomb-Proof Military Armored SUVs To Protect Kimmy Cakes And Swirly Seed

Is Yeezus scurred? Kanye West Buys Bomb Proof Armored Trucks Via FanSided reports: I guess if you’re Kanye West, you have to protect baby North West by any means necessary, even if that requires you to plop down $2,000,000 bucks on two heavily armored SUV’s. Kanye, who’s been dealing with on again, off again problems with the paparazzi in recent weeks apparently wanted to make a statement and did so by purchasing two Dartz Prombron armored SUV’s from Latvia. They can retail for around $400,000, but the way Kanye has labeled his “North West Protection Mobiles” come to about $1 million each. While one of the rides is a ‘cheaper’ version (only about $800K or so) the more expensive of the two, the ‘Prombron Iron Diamond’ model (valued approximately at $1.2 million) is able to withstand attacks from landmines and rocket-propelled grenades, because that’s exactly what you need driving around the streets of Calabasas, California. You never know why you might run into the “Bieber”. The ‘cheaper’ version is essentially a spiced up version of what the President of the United States rolls around in. On the plus side, being the good husband he is, West has requested Dartz to expedite the shipping of the vehicles so baby momma Kim Kardashian can have one before Yeezus begins his US tour this October. Kanye has officially lost it. Maybe Taylor Swift fans still want him dead…. Continue reading →

Let’s Be Honest: Queen Latifah Finally Confirms Whether Or Not She’s A Down-Low Box Lovin’ Lesbian

It’s about dang time! Queen Latifah Keeps Sexuality Private King Latifah has always battled gay rumors for most of her long career in the entertainment business. The rugged actress/rapper/singer was even rumored be finally walking out the closet on her new CBS talk show this Fall. Via Hollywood Reporter : Specifically, she is not prepared to talk about her sexuality, which has been the topic of much debate. “I don’t feel the need to discuss my private life on this show or any other show,” she says somewhat wearily as she eats a sushi lunch at her desk. “There’s the part of my life that the public and I share together. And there’s the part that’s mine to keep for myself. And that’s mine. For me.” Privacy has become an archaic notion in an era of social media-enabled voyeurism. But executives at Sony support Latifah’s desire to keep her personal life off-limits. “It’s her choice what she chooses to talk about,” says Holly Jacobs, executive vp syndication and reality programming at Sony Pictures Television. “It doesn’t feel relevant to me because we’re just making a big, entertaining show and celebrating all of life. There’s a difference between talking about one’s personal life and one’s point of view and perception of the world and how they see it. And I respect that people need to put boundaries to whatever they want to talk about.” It really isn’t anyone’s business if Latifah likes the box but it would be nice to know what hot young Hollyweird PYTs she was smashing….

Kush Chronic-les: 6-Year-Old Colorado Girl Uses Medical Yahmean “Charlotte’s Web” To Help Fight Severe Epilepsy!

Wait, loud pack for the little ones??? Mother Of 6-Year-Old Epileptic Girl Says Medical Mary Jane Enables Daughter To Walk And Talk Via HuffingtonPost When you think of the stereotypical medical Mary Jane user, Charlotte Figi may be the last person that comes to mind. That’s because Charlotte is 6 years old. She also suffers from debilitating seizures as a result of a rare form of epilepsy, a condition that’s driven the family through just about every possible treatment, searching for some form of normalcy. Desperate for options, Charlotte’s dad, Matt, told CNN they took her to a specialist who recommended a highly specialized diet. That helped slightly, for awhile until “at one point she was outside eating pine cones and stuff, all kinds of different things,” Matt said. “As a parent you have to say, let’s take a step back and look at this. Is this truly beneficial treatment because of these other things?” With no other choices, the family explored cannabis oil — an unconventional treatment, to say the least — but they told KDVR it worked immediately. According to a blog by Charlotte’s mom, Paige, her daughter’s seizures fell from 300 a week to around 3 over an 8 month period. She does note the program was first approved by a team of neurologists and pediatricians. Other benefits: [Charlotte] is consistently eating and drinking on her own for the first time in years. She sleeps soundly through the night. Her severe autism-like behaviors of self-injury, stimming, crying, violence, no eye contact, zero sleep, lack of social contact … are a thing of the past. She is clear-headed, focused, has no attention deficit. Charlotte rides horses, skis, paints, dances, hikes. She even has friends for the first time. Her brain is healing. She is healthy. She is happy. Charlotte is highlighted in a CNN documentary set to air this weekend, in which Sanjay Gupta, the news network’s chief medical expert, engages in a national conversation about Mary Jane. Sounds like this story along with Sanjay Gupta’s findings are going to bring this debate to a fever pitch! Image via CNN Continue reading →

Race Matters: Zimbabwe Opens ‘Blacks Only’ Stock Exchange To Keep Whites And Foreign Companies Out Of Economic Growth

Is this fair or just foul ? Zimbabwe Opens ‘Blacks Only’ Stock Exchange Via Telegraph reports: The plan to grab mining companies, most of which are South African-owned, follows President Robert Mugabe’s landslide re-election last week. Saviour Kasukawere, the ‘indigenisation’ minister, said on Tuesday that the government or black Zimbabweans would take 51 per cent of the shares in all major foreign-owned companies, valued at about £4.8 billion. No compensation will be paid. John Robertson, an independent economist in Harare, said: “There is no logic in that plan. He is in danger of introducing economic apartheid which is absurd.” Mr Robertson added: “I think this is only politicking and there is no substance to this.” Metals and minerals, including platinum and gold, accounted for 71 per cent, or £480 million, of Zimbabwe’s total exports last year. South Africa has a bilateral trade and protection agreement with Zimbabwe. If the regime presses ahead and seizes a controlling stake in South African mining companies, they could use these agreements to secure compensation or the return of assets via international courts. Whether Mr Mugabe’s regime would respect any such rulings is another question. Mr Mugabe seized almost all of Zimbabwe’s white-owned farms, often in defiance of court orders, and without compensation. The government taking over all wealth and means of production? Hey, it worked for the white peoples of the Soviet Union, it should work even better for the black peoples of Zimbabwe! Do you think this is just another form apartheid? Reuters

Really??? California Man Diagnosed With “Chronic Homosexual Disease” After Being Examined By New Doctor!

Wait, what??? Gay Man Diagnosed As Having A Chronic Disease For Being A Homosexual A patient said a Southern California doctor diagnosed him with “Homosexual behavior” during his first visit to the office for a check-up. Earlier this year, Matthew Moore started seeing a new doctor who suggested he undergo a complete physical. The tests revealed he was B-12 deficient, and had high blood pressure and high cholesterol — conditions that he called “normal for me.” When Moore, who is openly gay, went back to the Manhattan Beach office to discuss the findings, the nurse gave him the results of his physical. Among other diagnoses, the doctor listed “Homosexual behavior (302.0),” according to medical records obtained by NBC4. “Homosexual behavior” was also listed as a chronic condition on Moore’s patient plan. “When I look up code 302.0 and its sexual deviancy or mental illness, and that code has been removed or suggested heavily not to be used since 1973,” Moore said. “My jaw was on the floor. At first, I kind of laughed, I thought, ‘Here’s another way that gay people are lessened and made to feel less-than,’ and then as I thought about it and as I dealt with it, it angered me,” Moore said. When Mr. Moore returned to his doctor’s office, he didn’t exactly get the apology that he thought he would… He later returned to the office, at the suggestion of an attorney and friends, to let the doctor explain her decision. He said when asked, the doctor defended her position. “I was dumbfounded,” Moore said. Asked how one could treat homosexuality, the doctor said that “is still up to debate” and that the sexual orientation is “still being thought of as a disease,” Moore said. Moore said he does not take issue with his sexual orientation noted on his medical chart, but he does have a problem with it listed under chronic conditions. “Government tells us, oftentimes, that we’re not equal,” Moore said. “Many churches tell us that we’re sinners, and now here’s a medical professional telling us that we are sick. And it’s gotta stop.” After demanding his $30 copay back, Mr. Moore received this letter in the mail. Apologies are cool and all, but this doctor must have gotten her degeree from Westboro Baptist Church or somethin’…SMH Image via Shutterstock/NBC Continue reading →
