Pete Davidson Makes Worst Joke of the Year on SNL

Heading into Saturday Night Live this weekend, a nation waited with anticipation over what Pete Davidson would say about his break-up with Ariana Grande . The comedian and the singer dated for a whole few weeks earlier this summer prior to getting engaged, public displaying tons of affection — and then splitting about four months later. Grande was so prepared for some jab at her expense on air that she actually released a track just before SNL aired that beat Davidson to the punch, referencing him and other exes as well. So… what did Davidson say about the pop singer during his stint on Weekend Update? “I know some of you are curious about the break-up, but the truth it's nobody's business, and sometimes things just don't work out, and that's OK,” he told viewers, concluding of Grande: “She's a wonderful, strong person, and I genuinely wish her all the happiness in the world. Now please, go vote on Tuesday.” That was it, meaning Davidson avoided controversy and actually came across looking very well, right? Oh, no. Oh, so VERY wrong. Earlier in the segment, Davidson sat behind the Weekend Update desk and mocked the appearance of a congressional candidate whose eye was destroyed while he served in Afghanistan. “This guy is kinda cool, Dan Crenshaw,” Davidson said alongside a photo Crenshaw, a Republican. He continued: “You may be surprised to hear he's a congressional candidate from Texas, and not a hit man in a porno movie.” “I'm sorry, I know he lost his eye in war, or whatever,” he added. “Whatever.” Not exactly whatever , Pete, the entire Internet basically said at once. You thought it was worth making a pirate joke at a veteran's expense simply because he wears an eye patch? That's both offensive and just plain lazy. “Good rule in life: I try hard not to offend; I try harder not to be offended,” Crenshaw himself Tweeted in response. “That being said,  I hope @nbcsnl recognizes that vets don’t deserve to see their wounds used as punchlines for bad jokes.” There was also this response from National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Jack Pandol: “Getting dumped by your pop star girlfriend is no excuse for lashing out at a decorated war hero who lost his eye serving our country. “Pete Davidson and NBC should immediately apologize to Dan, and to the millions of veterans and military families who tune in every weekend — because they're not laughing.” As of this writing, neither Davidson nor NBC has issued said apology. Watch the wildly inappropriate joke in the video featured here.

Ariana Grande to Pete Davidson: Wrote You a New Song, Loser!

Why has everything with Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson always happened so fast?! Their engagement, their breakup, the backlash from the breakup … It’s like everything has been happening in warp speed. Do they exist in some slightly different universe in which time moves at a different pace? Does being young and famous really make you wild and free enough to feel comfortable getting engaged to someone after a few seconds of dating? It’s hard to say what exactly has been going on, but boy, it sure has been a lot. As we all remember, Ariana and Pete got engaged in June after a few weeks of dating. They moved in together, they got tattoos together … like we said, it’s been a lot. Things seemed to be going great for them for a while, but last month, they suddenly split . At first, reports claimed that nothing major had happened between them, that they simply realized the timing wasn’t right. One would also imagine that the death of Mac Miller was so hard on Ariana that it must have been tough on their relationship. So it was a sort of amicable, “maybe we’ll get back together someday” kind of breakup, right? Yeah, not so much. Things took a swift turn a few days ago when Pete made a joke about Ariana in a Saturday Night Live promo. Pete Davidson Jokes About Ariana Grande Breakup Well, sort of — in the promo, he proposed to the musical guest of the week, Maggie Rogers, because he moves so fast in relationships, get it? It didn’t seem like a dig at her at all, but still, she wasn’t too happy to hear about it. “For somebody who claims to hate relevancy u sure love clinging to it huh,” she tweeted after seeing the clip. She followed that up with “Thank u, next,” which is already becoming iconic … BECAUSE THAT’S THE NAME OF HER NEW SONG AND ALBUM! Yep, Ariana just released her last album, Sweetener, in August, but she’s already working on her next one, which, as we said, will be titled Thank U, Next. And last night, just a few minutes before Saturday Night Live began airing, she released the title track. The shade, right?! In the very first verse, she name drops four of her exes, including Pete, because the girl is simply not holding back. Let’s just check it out in all its glory, OK? Here goes: Thought I’d end up with Sean / But he wasn’t a match Wrote some songs about Ricky / Now I listen and laugh Even almost got married / And for Pete, I’m so thankful Wish I could say “Thank you” to Malcolm / ‘Cause he was an angel She sang that one of those exes “taught me love,” one “taught me patience,” and another “taught me pain.” If she’s going in order, she means that Big Sean taught her love, Ricky Alvarez taught her patience, and Pete taught her pain. She could mean something different, of course, and it’s definitely possible that Mac Miller was the one who taught her pain, considering his heartbreaking addiction and subsequent death . But what’s neat about this song is that it isn’t a diss track at all. As she explains it in the lyrics, “I’ve loved and I’ve lost, but that’s not what I see / So look what I got, look what you taught me.” In the chorus, she sings “I’m so f-cking grateful for my ex,” which is really the whole vibe of this song. Well, that, and getting into another relationship now — this time, one with herself. After releasing the song, she hopped back on Twitter to discuss things with her fans, because she’s a doll like that. View Slideshow: Ariana Grande vs. Pete Davidson: Whose Side Should You Take In This Ugly Breakup? According to her, this song contains “no drags…. no shade….. just love, gratitude, acceptance, honesty, forgiveness … and growth.” We can’t wait to see what’s next from her!

‘LHHATL’ Star Spice Just Pulled Off The Best Marketing Ploy To Get People To Listen To Her Mixtape

Source: SPEX PHOTOGRAPHY, INC / SPEX PHOTOGRAPHY, INC Colorism is an issue not only prevalent in American culture but in Caribbean culture as well and this Love & Hip Hop Atlanta artist Spice (real name Grace Hamilton) is using her platform to speak out about it. Spice scammed all of us when she posted a questionable photo on Instagram that left fans speculating she bleached her skin. It turns out, the image was a super effective marketing ploy to grab our attention. Spice released her mixtape Captured , which debuted at #1 on the reggae charts. Spice’s controversial promotion raised eyebrows, but for good reason. Her first single is about the affects of colorism and how it could push someone to bleach their skin. “I get hate from my own race yes that’s a fact,” she raps. “Cause the same black people dem say I’m too black and if you bleach out you skin dem same one come a chat.” Celebrities and artists like Michael Jackson, Vybez Kartel and Sammy Sosa infamously bleached their skin to appear lighter. Spice’s stance, banish colorism, was met with polarizing comments. While some fans understood her message, others couldn’t understand her tactics. I want to congratulate Spice’s PR stunt and people because they successfully nailed these goals. Her single #BlackHypocrisy topping the charts, statement is proved, and her followers grew from 1.4M to 1.6M in a matter of 36 hours. Impeccable . — T E E R E I G N (@TeeReign_) October 23, 2018 I have a new level of respect for @spiceofficial . I love and respect how you embrace and stood firm when all was against u. Ur song #Blackhypocrisy speaks loud, volume and to me even tho I'm a man. Keep it up. — Marlando-Anthony (@Marlaan_Anthony) October 23, 2018 Spice really was speaking facts in her song, but if she really bleached her skin I’ll be sick af… #BlackHypocrisy — ChRiStLe (@Chrizz_Till) October 23, 2018 In 2017, website SoulReflectionz.com spoke with six Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaican natives, who shared their thoughts on the idea that lighter skin is more desirable. “There’s no question that in Trinidad and Tobago, a lot of people see light-skinned individuals as superior to those with darker skin. Here, light-skinned means ‘exotic’ to many, and exotic, in turn, is considered to be more interesting,” Michael from Trinidad and Tobago said. “Light-skinned people tend to have the advantage/upper hand when it comes to the way they are treated by the general public. I’m not just saying that. I’ve seen it with my own eyes, and, being dark-skinned, have been on the receiving end of negativity because of my shade of black. Slavery definitely has a part to play in this mindset.” Spice is using her platform to promote change in the culture. We’re here for it. Stream her mixtape, here .

Ariana Grande Posts A Throwback Video of Her & Mac Miller

After rumors swirled that Mac’s overdose played a part in her breakup with Pete Davidson (he’s publicly stated he smokes weed to deal with his mental issues), Ariana took to IG to post a video of her and Miller during better days. In the video the “Sweetner” singer posted recently we see Mac Miller getting dipped for The Oscars the couple attended with the help his mother Joan and grandmother, Nonna. Unfortunately, that was the last time the couple had a public outing as they broke up a few months later in May of 2017. Obviously, Mac still holds a special place in Ariana Grande’s heart. Check out the heartbreaking video below.

Ariana Grande Returns to Twitter, Tells People to "Suck My D-ck"

Ariana Grande may have a broken heart at the moment. But the singer just made news for mentioning a very different body part. Last week, a few days after she ended her engagement to Pete Davidson, Grande told her social media followers that she was taking a break. The pop artist understandably need some time away from the public as she dealt with the dissolution of what had been a very fun and loving relationship. “Time to say bye bye again to the internet for just a lil bit,” the singer wrote on Instagram, adding at the time: “It’s hard not to bump news n stuff that I’m not trying to see rn. It’s very sad and we’re all tryin very hard to keep going. love u. and thank u for bein here always.” Fair enough, right? However, Grande appears to have taken all the time she needed to recover from this recent break-up. Following a one-week hiatus, Grande Tweeted a black heart emoji on Monday morning told her followers “i missed you sm.” She also told her haters to suck it… and then deleted the message minutes later. This is the Internet, however, and nothing ever gets deleted. In response to some losers picking on her forehead, Ariana wrote the following a little while ago: “i see some of y’all making fun of my forehead ! sorry i have a big forehead ! at least i’m cute and don’t make fun of other ppl’s foreheads ! suck my dick. ttyl” Well… okay then! You tell ’em, Ariana! For his part, Davidson broke his silence on the not-too-shocking split this past Saturday during a stand-up show in West Hollywood, where he joked that his decision to propose to the pop star was “stupid.” (We could have saved you some time and pain by telling you that this summer, dude.) “So, obviously you know I, we broke up or whatever but when me and her first got engaged we got tattoos. And it was like in a magazine like, ‘Was Pete Davidson stupid?’ And 93 percent of it said yes,” Davidson told his audience. He added on stage: “So my boy, he was like, ‘Don’t listen to that sh-t man. They’re literally f-cking haters.’ And I’m like, yeah, f-ck that. I’m not stupid. “And the other day we were in my kitchen and he was like, ‘Yo bro. Turns out you were stupid.'” Oh well. We’ve all been blinded at times by love or lust, right? Other sources, meanwhile, claims that Davidson is devastated by the break-up . “He misses Ariana every minute of every day, from the second he wakes up until the moment he goes to sleep,” someone supposedly told Hollywood Life, adding of Davidson: “Right now, Pete feels like he will never get over Ariana, that his heart will never mend, and that he will never fall in love again.” That makes us sad to hear. Davidson and Grande only dated for a few weeks before news broke of their engagement. They managed to stay together for a few months prior to their recent split , which took basically no one by surprise. Still, we’re sure the emotions are raw and we wish both Pete and Ariana the best.

Ariana Grande to Pete Davidson: GTF Outta My Apartment!!

Over the weekend, Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson split , mostly because of catastrophically bad timing. While the two of them are consciously uncoupling, Ariana has reportedly taken a drastic step to show Pete that it’s over. She apparently changed the locks on their love nest. Radar Online   reports that Ariana Grande, in light of her breakup, has taken what most would consider a pretty drastic step. She has allegedly changed the locks of her luxurious, 4,000-square-foot apartment. “Ariana has no plans to continue being friends with Pete,” an insider reports. Oh that is heartbreaking if true. The source notes that it was an “amicable breakup” even though it was Ariana who decided to end it. The report explains that Ariana felt the need to create some distance between herself and the man to whom she was, just a week ago, engaged. “If he had his way,” the insider says of Pete. “He would still be with her.” Well, yeah. No one ever really doubted that, and no one really suspected that Pete woke up one day and decided that he wanted this dream to end. Don’t get us wrong — Pete Davidson is famous and successful and hot. But Ariana is more so. No shade, but she has him beat in every category except for height. As the report details, Ariana is grappling with a lot of stresses and, despite no ill will, wants some space. “Ariana is going through a very rough time right now,” the source notes. Her very public engagement and breakup and the sudden death of Mac Miller last month are only the latest emotional blows. The insider reveals that Ariana is dealing with it “and she has the absolute support of her family.” “And,” the source adds, Ariana has plenty of emotional support from her “friends.” Which we guess does not include Pete at the moment. Right now, Ariana is focusing on handling her own issues before she worries about anything else. “She has a lot of work to do on herself,” the insider explains. “And,” the source reminds. “She is in the process of healing.” Last year’s bombing and now Mac Miller’s overdose — those are two huge stressors. “And,” the insider notes, Ariana is “recovering from the breakup.” Ariana isn’t just taking a break from Pete — this week she announced that she is taking an indefinite social media hiatus . “Today was very special,” Ariana shared. Time to say bye bye again to the internet for just a lil bit.” Ariana explained: “It’s hard not to bump into news n stuff that I’m not trying to see right now.” Good for Ariana for taking time for herself and knowing when she needs to step away. Too many people ignore their mental health until they reach a breaking point and have some kind of meltdown. Sometimes, self-care means tuning out the world and looking after your own needs. We should note that Ariana changing the locks on the luxurious love nest that she and Pete have been sharing might not be a huge deal. Yes, they’ve definitely broken up. But your average person only changes the locks when they move in to a new place, or when they break up with someone they absolutely cannot trust. Sometimes, when they break up with someone they actively fear. But that’s because changing the locks is expensive. If Ariana really changed the locks, it might not mean much of anything because price is no object. View Slideshow: Pete Davidson Answers the Giant Penis Question Once and for All

Cazzie David: Fans Urge Pete Davidson Ex to NEVER Take Him Back!

Grandson is over. By which we mean that Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson split , mostly because of bad timing. Now, some fans of Pete’s ex, Cazzie David, think that those two will get back together. In fact, they fear it — and are publicly urging Cazzie to keep Pete out of her life. Fans who admire Cazzie David are terrified that Pete will come crawling back to her — and that she’ll accept. “Don’t take him back,” implored one of Cazzie’s fans. “I REPEAT don’t take him back!!” For the record, she wasn’t saying that she would and he wasn’t saying that he was going to try to reconnect with her. “Girl we all knew it wasn’t gonna last,” wrote another follower. That follower continued: That relationship was pure lust. You are too good for him.” We can’t agree with the characterization that Pete and Ariana were only dating for the banging, but sure, that was part of it. Others didn’t flock to Cazzie’s social media to give advice. They just wanted to share their opinion. “Honey,” one announced. “You won the breakup.” That doesn’t sound like a healthy way to look at a breakup. “Yup he got his karma,” declared another. “Living the luxury life now it’s cut off.” Pete wasn’t with Ariana for her money and he’s not exactly a pauper himself, but okay. “If ur lowkey sad about Pete,” wrote another. “Just know that u honestly lost nothing.” That’s supportive but also mean. Cazzie and Pete broke up a relatively short time before Pete started dating Ariana. (Ariana had recently broken up with Mac Miller — the same good timing that brought them together became bad timing and split them up) Cazzie hasn’t exactly been outspoken about Pete’s relationship with — and engagement to — Ariana. Instead, she responded to the news with a tongue-in-cheek Instagram post: “Been in Africa. What’d I miss??” That sounds cheerful enough. And that’s no less than what we’d expect from Larry David’s daughter and a woman who’s an actress, writer, and comedian in her own right. Cazzie never even publicly responded to the rumors about Pete Davidson’s impressive dong . (But you know that people in her life had to be itching to ask her about it, right?) But we don’t see any reason for her fans to “worry” that she’ll go running back to Pete. First of all, they had broken up before he and Ariana hooked up. He just moved on really quickly. That happens sometimes. Second of all, Pete is reportedly deep in his feelings about this Ariana business. It’s always possible that he and Cazzie could date again, since exes try it again all of the time. But it doesn’t seem likely. News about Ariana and Pete’s split broke over the weekend. Ariana has also shared that she is stepping back from social media because she is feeling overwhelmed. “Ok today was v special and i’m so grateful i was able to be there,” Ariana wrote to her fans and followers. Ariana then announced: “Time  to say bye bye to the internet for just a lil bit.” “it’s hard not to bump news n stuff that i’m not tryna to see rn,” she explained. “it’s very sad and we’re all tryin very hard to keep goin,” Ariana concluded. “Love u. and thank u for  bein here always. ” When it comes to news that Ariana would rather avoid, it comes in two forms. One, speculation about her split with Pete. She understands that people are curious, but she just wants to avoid seeing it right now. We totally get that. Two, people are still discussing her late ex, Mac Miller, who’s death is believed to have been one of the nails in the coffin of her engagement. We hope that Ariana and Pete get the space and emotional support that they need right now. And we kind of hope that fans, well-meaning or no, stop telling Cazzie David what to do with her life. She knows what she does or does not want. View Slideshow: Pete Davidson Answers the Giant Penis Question Once and for All

Ariana Grande Takes Social Media Hiatus Following Pete Davidson Allegations

It’s been less than a week since the world learned that Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson have called off their engagement and ended their relationship. Neither party has spoken publicly about the split yet, but that hasn’t prevented the public from running wild with speculation about what might have caused the breakup. On Tuesday, a shocking allegation against Davidson began to circulate on social media. Believe it or not, multiple outlets are now reporting that Grande ended the relationship after learning that Pete had sent explicit photos of the singer to her ex, Mac Miller. The goal, sources say, was to convince Miller that he should abandon any hope of a possible reconciliation with Grande. The accusation is particularly shocking in the wake of Miller’s death by overdose last month. It’s important to repeat that the allegations against Davidson are the result of unconfirmed rumors, and for obvious reasons, we hope they’re eventually debunked. But even if the rumors are disproven, they serve as a potent reminder of how much harder a breakup can be when it takes place in the public eye. So it’s not at all surprising that Grande has decided to take a hiatus from social media until such time as interest in her defunct relationship with Davidson begins to die down. “Ok today was v special and i’m so grateful i was able to be there,” Grande wrote on Instagram earlier this week, referring to an NBC Halloween special she had participated in that day. “Time to say bye bye again to the internet for just a lil bit,” the singer continued. “It’s hard not to bump news n stuff that I’m not trying to see rn. It’s very sad and we’re all tryin very hard to keep going. love u. and thank u for bein here always.” Fans immediately began to speculate that the decision was a result ar Ari’s chagrin over the latest rumors about her ex. That may be the case, but it’s equally possible that she’s simply tired of reading about her latest breakup every time she goes online. It remains to be seen if Pete and Ariana will attempt a reconciliation, but it’s worth noting that folks who worked with Ariana at NBC this week confirmed that she was not wearing her wedding ring.
