Even though Kim Kardashian has only been married three times , more Americans have fallen victim to her famous badonkadonk than have died from Ebola. That’s the hilarious truth pointed out by some brilliant Twitter user earlier this week, and the quote has been a viral hit ever since. And with good reason: It serves the dual purposes of reminding Americans that the chances of odds of an Ebola epidemic hitting America are slim to none, as well as reminding Kanye that he’s totally late to the party when it comes to putting a ring on Kim. So what better way to celebrate Kim’s 34th birthday than by thanking her for putting things in perspective. And obviously, we also owe a debt of gratitude to Yeezy for (hopefully) putting a stop to the outbreak of dudes getting hubbied up by the sex tape star. Of course, in all seriousness, Ebola is a terrible disease that’s claimed thousands of lives in West Africa, and our hearts go out to Nina Pham and Amber Joy Vinson , the two American nurses who are currently fighting the virus. The goal of comparing Ebola to a Kardashian is not to make light of the illness, but merely to try and calm folks down with a bit of levity. It’s an age old strategy, first employed by medieval standup comics during the Black Plague. (“Didja ever notice how they always seem to stack the bodies right where you want to park your carriage? Who are these people?”) Okay, we may have made that last part up. For the record, sources say Kim is terrified of Ebola , so hopefully she’ll benefit from this meme most of all. Although, if she and Kanye would rather stay safely at home and out of the spotlight for a few months or years, we certainly don’t want to discourage that. 19 Worst Kim Kardashian Photos! 1.

Don’t leave ya man ’round her… NYC Socialite Found To Be Homewrecker Via PageSix : Wives should be wary when MacDella Cooper is around. The former fashion model has two children fathered by married men: Although it was already known that she has a 6-year-old daughter sired by former Citigroup chairman Dick Parsons, it turns out she also has a 3-year-old son fathered by advertising exec Thomas Tafuto, who died of cancer last year at the age of 48. Cooper has run a Midtown foundation for orphans for 10 years and built a school in her native Liberia. Parsons was the keynote speaker at her fund-raising gala in 2007. Tafuto went to Africa with her on a charity mission in 2010. While Parsons’ wife of 46 years, Laura, stuck by him, Tafuto’s spouse, Tartia, left her husband and told a colleague of mine she was “sickened” by Cooper. “She’s projecting herself as an innocent refugee trying to help her people, but she’s being impregnated by married men and destroying their marriages,” Tartia said. Cooper told me she was only concerned for her son: “The poor kid has a father he’ll never know.” The fertile femme fatale is busy organizing a Dec. 5 benefit for Africa United Against Ebola. Broadway star Saycon Sengbloh will perform at Landmark on the Park on Central Park West. Oop! Well, clearly she’d got something all these dudes are looking for. We wonder who she’ll scoop up next… PATRICK MCMULLAN / PageSix
Waka Flocka Flame was the latest in a long line of celebrities to get arrested on a weapons charge, after he brought a loaded gun with him to the Atlanta airport. That’ll tend to get you in trouble, we’ve heard. Celebrities Who Have Been Arrested in 2014 1. Waka Flocka Flame Waka Flocka Flame was arrested at the Atlanta airport for packing heat. That’ll do it every time. The rapper got popped inside Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport earlier today when a security scan turned up a loaded handgun in his bag. Waka didn’t have a permit for it. Shocker. The 28-year-old, also familiar to you if you watch Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta online , was promptly arrested and charged with Carrying a Weapon in a Prohibited Place. He was taken to Clayton County jail. No word on why he felt packing a loaded gun , for which he had no permit, through a metal detector in one of the most tightly guarded places in the U.S. was a good call. But hey, at least he didn’t joke about having a bomb (Aldon Smith) or having come from Africa (guy accosted this week on US Airlines flight by HAZ/MAT team). Silver linings.
Stick and stones… Luol Deng Forgives Danny Ferry For Racist Comments Via ESPN Heat forward Luol Deng has forgiven Atlanta Hawks general manager Danny Ferry, who is on indefinite leave for making racially insensitive comments about the veteran forward in June. Deng was born in what is now South Sudan in Africa. Deng, speaking at the Heat’s media day, said he recently talked to Ferry and hopes they can make something positive of the situation. “I think one of the hardest things to do as a human being, and it’s something we should do more often, is forgive,” Deng said. “I really do forgive Danny. It’s not something I want to hold onto for the rest of my career or the rest of my life.” Deng said the Hawks were one of the few teams he considered this offseason. In July, Deng signed a two-year, $20 million deal with Miami before the comments became public earlier this month. “I really believe that he’s really sorry for what he said,” Deng said. “And whether it came from him or wherever it came from, the main focus really should be on how we move on going forward. What are we going to do about it?” Luol believes that this incident may just result in something positive for his people. “We could really turn this into a positive thing where people can benefit from,” Deng said. “It’s something we’d like to start, working together with Danny and helping people back home in Africa or working with an organization. Just so that one day we could look back and say this happened and it was something negative, but look at how it turned around and how it became something positive. “I’m not the type of person to hold on and be angry at somebody or be angry at Danny. I don’t think Danny is racist. I really don’t. I really don’t know Danny to describe him as a person. I just know who he is. That’s just what I believe in. I would like to put it behind me and just move forward. But I would really love if I could do something positive out of it.” Luol certainly is a man of high moral character, but could you have forgiven Danny Ferry for that bullisht he said? Image via AP
