Taye Diggs Shoots His Shot… At Steph Curry Listen, we’re all for people’s freedom to love who they wanna love, but a few folks have expressed some serious concerns over Taye Diggs making a play for Stephen Curry on Twitter today. Curry was asked about his fellow Splash Brother, Klay Thompson’s improvement on the court and he made a “How Stella Got Her Groove Back” reference… which must’ve seemed like some kind of invite from Taye to well, shoot his shot. What do you think? Are Taye’s comments simply innocent jokes, meant to be laughed off — or is he completely inappropriate considering that Steph is a married, openly heterosexual man… I can't believe Taye Diggs is openly flirting with a married man on social media.

Kansas Male Cheerleaders Suspended Over KKK Snapchat Four Kansas cheerleaders have been suspended from the university after Snapchat pic connecting them to the KKK with President-elect Donald Trump was posted reports ABC News : The photo shows members of the cheer squad wearing sweaters with “K” representing “Kansas” on their chests. White letters across the photo read “Kkk go trump.” Associate athletic director Jim Marchiony says university officials learned of the posting during the men’s basketball team’s 83-63 victory over UAB. The athletics department says a Twitter user reported the Snapchat photo to the school. A tweet from the school described what happened as “unacceptable.” A female cheerleader claims that someone took her phone at a party Saturday night and posted the racist Snapchat photo. Welcome to Trump’s AmeriKKKa , folks!
Faithless Electors Refuse To Vote Trump, Want Others To Follow Suit America isn’t just gonna go quietly into the night and allow Donald Trump and his bigoted administration to take over the government. As some of you might remember, we reported weeks ago that several electors had already vowed not to vote for Donald regardless of the outcome in their state. Today, there are a total of 6 “faithless electors” who have come forward and they are working to convince others to withhold a Trump vote prior to the official casting on December 19th according to Politico . Obviously it’s VERY unlikely that these men and women could swing enough voters to turn the election on it’s head, but the idea is to challenge the electoral system so staunchly that it brings forth change, and possible elimination, for future elections. “I do think that a byproduct would be a serious look into Electoral College reform,” said Micheal Baca, a Democratic elector from Colorado who is spearheading the anti-Trump effort, along with Washington state elector P. Bret Chiafalo. “If it gets into the House, the controversy and the uncertainty that would immediately blow up into a political firestorm in the U.S. would cause enough people — my hope is — to look at the whole concept of the Electoral College,” said another elector involved in the anti-Trump planning, who declined to be identified. What these folks are plotting is unprecedented in United States history. “If you could get eight or 10 Trump electors to vote for someone else … then that would probably get people’s attention,” said George Edwards III, a political science professor and Electoral College expert at Texas A&M University. “We haven’t ever had that many faithless electors in one election.” In order to reverse the outcome of the election, Democrats would have to convince 37 Republicans to not vote for Donald. Which is extremely unlikely to happen. This isn’t to get your hopes up that Hillz will be taking the oath of office on January 20th, but it is a silver lining that reflects the will of the people and the power we still have to combat the evil that Donald has planned for us as a nation.

Stevie J Petitions For Custody Of Joseline Hernandez’ Unborn Child Remember when Stevie J was ducking Joseline’s order for paternity testing ? Well, now he’s had a change of heart. Not only does Stevie now want the definitive proof that he is indeed the father of her unborn baby …he wants the baby all to himself. According to TMZ , Stevie has requested primary physical custody, saying that Joseline is an unfit parent…saying he suspects that she’s engaged in drug use during her pregnancy and that her anger issues — evidenced by her violent outbursts on Love and Hip Hop — make her a further danger to the baby once she’s born. Oh, and he’s also asking for child support. Well this this is certainly a lot of sudden concern for a baby he wasn’t even willing to claim 5 minutes ago. We think Joseline’s own early child support claim may have QUITE a bit to do with this massive change of heart… But maybe we’re just being cynical and Stevie is just very concerned about properly fathering this fetus… Instagram/Vh1
This past Sunday we teamed up with Black Celebrity Giving for their 4th Annual SUNDAY SOUL ATL event to spread positive vibes, fellowship and feed hundreds of displaced men, women and children in downtown Atlanta. BCG, Bossip, Pretty Girls Give Back, along with celebrity guests Kap G and famed singer LaTavia Roberson, volunteered to spread some holiday cheer and provide holiday meals with (wait for it) beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes… YEW NAAAAME IT! Holidays are always a tough time for people experiencing homelessness and this is our way of giving back. This year, we switched it up, served as a wait staff and brought our guests 3-course meals to their tables. In addition to the delicious Thanksgiving feast, CEI Barber & Hair School provided free haircuts and hairstyles to the men, women and children.
