About a year ago, we posted what many consider to be the greatest kid letter to Santa in kid letter to Santa history. Simply put, it included a link to the item of the child’s dream on Amazon. A few days later, we published another letter to Santa from a child who wants some American Girl dolls … some North Face jackets… $1,000 in cash… and “a little thing that can turn into anything at any time.” That request could be hard to beat. 13 Kids Who Asked for the Perfect Gift(s) from Santa Claus 1. A Stress Reliever We hear this is how Floyd Mayweather got started. But the young authors behind the letters above are doing their best to try! One wants a sausage. Another wants some money. Another wants some more money. And another wants a statue of an iconic lead character from a beloved 1980s movie. Click through the photo gallery above and see what the most awesome kids in America want in their stockings this holiday season.
Sorry…we just threw up in our mouths a little. Mama June Offered One Million Dollars For Sex Tape Now that the “Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo” checks have stopped rolling in, Mama June has been offered $1 million to lay it low and spread it wide on camera for Vivid Entertainment. Although with her track record of selecting pervy pedophiles , we wonder if she’ll even be able to locate a partner that enjoys the company of grown women. Via The Hollywood Gossip : TMZ has obtained a letter written to the reality stars in which Vivid Entertainment CEO Steve Hirsch offers them $1 million to do the deed on tape. Hirsch believes Shannon would be a hit in the company’s Big Beautiful Women section. “We would make the experience an enjoyable one for both of you and give you as much creative input as you would like,” Hirsch writes to the couple Vivid, of course, is the company behind the Kim Kardashian sex tape, as well as amateur porns starring Tila Tequila, Kendra Wilkinson and many others. Mama June and Sugar Bear have been on a scandalous roller coaster ride for months. Shannon reportedly broke up with Honey Boo Boo’s father in order to date Mark McDaniel this fall, a convicted child molester whose victim was Anna Shannon, one of June’s daughters. TLC actually canceled Here Comes Honey Boo Boo as a result of this relationship and the subsequent public relations nightmare that followed. Sugar Bear moved back in with Shannon a few weeks after this news broke, however, because Child Protective Services threatened to take away her kids. The lovebirds allegedly rekindled their romance at that time, but Shannon recently said Sugar Bear has been cheating on her. But we’re sure it’s nothing a sex tape wouldn’t solve, right? Eh…we aren’t into it, but maybe there’s a market for morbidly obese child molester sympathizer pornography. Will you be watching if she accepts??
What exactly are they trying to say with this??? Disturbing figures of lynched Black bodies were discovered hanging in various locations on UC Berkeley’s campus early Saturday morning. The figures featured the name of the lynching victims and were stamped with the phrase #Icantbreathe, which in the wake of the Eric Garner grand jury decision , has become a rallying cry for police brutality protesters . Naturally, this left most confused as to the intent of the figures — are they meant to offend or to call attention to the issue? Via The Root : The Associated Press is reporting that three cardboard cutouts of black people were found hanging by nooses Saturday on the Berkeley campus of the University of California. University spokeswoman Amy Hamaoui said police are investigating the incident to determine who hanged the effigies that were found at two prominent campus locations Saturday morning, the report says. The spokeswoman told the AP that the effigies appeared to connected to a nearby noon-time demonstration that coincided with #BlackLivesMatter protests around the country. The effigies appear to be life-size photos of lynching victims. Two depicted men and a third was a photograph of a female victim, the report says. The effigies had names of lynching victims and the dates of their death. At least one effigy had “I Can’t Breathe” printed on the front, the report says. “We are unsure of the intent,” Hamaoui said. Organizers of the Berkeley protest were also confounded by the offensive imagery, which has deep roots in America’s racist past, especially in the Reconstruction era when blacks were lynched as a measure to exert white supremacy. “We just hope it’s someone who wanted to bring attention to the issue,” Spencer Pritchard, 21, a U.C. Berkeley student and an organizer of the demonstration, told the news outlet. He said about 200 protesters demonstrated in Berkeley with the goal to “disrupt business as usual to show that black lives matter,” the report says. As it turns out, the effigies were intended to draw attention to the ONGOING issue of law-enforcement violence against Blacks that has plagued this country since it’s inception. Our friends over at BallerAlert were able to snag this closeup photo of the femals cut out and the story behind it: Interesting. Definitely striking imagery to get the point across. What do you think of this protest action, Bossip Fam?

Kate Middleton’s whirlwind trip to the United States has resulted in one of our all-time favorite GIFs, a fitting moment for a Duchess confronted with New York attitude. Wrapping gifts at the Northside Center For Child Development in Harlem on Monday, Kate was talking with onlookers when a volunteer told her to cut the chit-chat. Hilariously and bluntly told to “keep wrapping,” Kate responded in kind: Following her awesome side eye glance for the ages, the 32-year-old snapped to it on the double, resuming packaging up Christmas presents with the kids. New York does not tolerate slackers. Even if they’re royals. Alas, Catherine’s memorable trip to America is already over. The royals are back in London as of this morning, leaving us wanting more until next year perhaps. At least between this, Kate being asked if she’s from Frozen , getting sweated on by LeBron and maybe even drinking champagne while pregnant , she made the most of it! More photos of the Duke and Duchess in NYC below … Kate Middleton in New York City Photos! 1. Kate Middleton and Prince William in NYC Kate and Will attended an NYU fundraiser last night. As usual, they were both the picture of class.
Debbie Allen Says Cosby Rape Allegations Are Hard To Believe Bill Cosby is garnering support from one of his closest collaborators. In the midst of 20 rape allegations against the formerly celebrated comedian, Debbie Allen, who worked closely with Cosby during “A Different World,” has stepped up to say that though the allegations are horrible, she stuggles with believing that her friend and colleague is capable of what well over a dozen women accuse. Via HuffPost : In recent weeks, the list of celebrities who have publicly defended Bill Cosby against his multiple sexual abuse accusations have included from Jill Scott, Whoopi Goldberg, and Cee Lo Green. And now longtime Cosby associate, Debbie Allen has shared her thoughts regarding accusations made by several women against the legendary comedian. While promoting her upcoming BET holiday musical “The Hot Chocolate Nutcracker” this week, the multi-talented actress-choreographer, who served as a producer on “A Different World” for 122 episodes, joined Kathie Lee & Hoda during an interview on the TODAY show admitting the accusations are “hard to believe.” “I don’t think we can have this conversation honestly in two minutes. It begs to ask a bigger question. Where’s the moral spine in America and in the world today? Because how are we raising our daughters, our sons? Where are we looking for the guidance of how we’re supposed to live,” the Golden Globe Award-winner asked before adding, “Cosby gave us one of the greatest shows in history, and redefined the perception of black people all over the world.” “At the same time, I’m a part of One Billion Rising,” she continued. “This is a movement for women to stand up against violence and denigration of women. This is a tough situation, and it’s just hard to believe. I don’t know. I think that so much time has passed before they all have kind of have come together…there’s a big question that my mother ask me every day, ‘Why now? Why are these people trying to destroy his legacy?’” We wonder what the other members of One Billion Rising have to say about her questioning the alleged victims?

Are you feeling this inspirational joint? New Music: John Legend ft. Common – “Glory” With protests popping up around the country over racial injustice and police violence, this track is right on time. Common Says: Glory is a direct descendent of the inspiration behind the film; the movement of Dr. Martin Luther King, his leadership team and the everyday women and men who changed the world. The mission for “Glory” was to create a song that both captured the spirit of the people of the civil rights movement and connected that journey to what is going on in America today – so much has changed and so much still needs to change. Most importantly, I wanted to express that in everyday people lies the victory, that within ordinary people are extraordinary acts that will change the world and that all of us have a part to play in this change. John Legend Says: This film is such a powerful depiction of one of the most important moments in American history, a major moment in the struggle for civil rights, led by the late great Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. When Ava approached us to write a song to close the film, we strove to capture the indomitable, optimistic spirit of the protesters, and we also sought to connect it to the ongoing struggle for civil rights today. As we’ve seen in places like Ferguson, Missouri, the struggle is not over. And music has always been a critical part of this movement. From Paul Robeson to Mahalia Jackson to James Brown to Nina Simone to Marvin Gaye to Bob Dylan, we have seen great artists provide the soundtrack and the inspiration for protesters to know that they could “overcome.” What do you think?
