Halle Berry Rebuts Ric Flair’s Claim That They Slept Together Yesterday, former s#!t-talkin’ wrestler Ric Flair set the internet ablaze when it was reported that he bragged about bedding Halle Berry shortly after her divorce to David Justice. The blonde embellisher dropped this highly suspect bomb on his “Ric Flair Show” radio program and it didn’t fall on deaf ears… According to TMZ , Halle Berry got word of Ric’s lil’ quip and shut it RIGHT down. One of her reps wants it to be known that: “There is NO truth to this! Halle has literally never even heard of him let alone met him!!!” Halle is not only pissed off by the allegation, but she’s angry on behalf of all women who have been lied on by men who want pathetic penis praise. Says another source: “A man doesn’t get to sexualize and lie about a woman he’s never met to better himself or his name. It’s offensive, demeaning and beyond misogynistic.” Ric Flair can take his jet place, his limousine, his gators and all his dollar bills and stick ’em all right up his a$$. Image via WENN
Oregon Father Upset Over Son Learning About White Privilege In School A teacher in Oregon just wanted to explain what the term “white privilege” means and help students understand where they fall in the national discussion about it. And of course…one of the white parents was livid to hear of their child gaining understanding of such things. Via MailOnline : An Aloha, Oregon father is upset about a survey on white privilege that his son was assigned as homework. The survey, which was handed out in a literature composition class at Aloha High School, asks students to consider a series of statements about race, and rank the comments on a scale from 0 (seldom or never true) to 5 (often true) in accordance with their personal experiences. Example questions include ‘I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed’ and ‘I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the newspaper and see people of my race widely and positively represented’. School district spokeswoman Maureen Wheeler told KGW that the class in question covers issues affecting the U.S. today, including race, class, sexuality and religion. The goal of the class is for student to ‘gain empathy, understanding and to build bridges’. But Jason Schmidt, whose senior son is in the class, doesn’t see the survey that way. ‘The way this survey is read, it almost wants to like, shame you for being white,’ Schmidt told KATU. Schmidt says he’d like to see his son ‘learning actual education and not be a part of some social experiment or teacher’s political agenda’. Oh WAH WAH WAHHH. Sounds like the child and his father must have checked each and every box with the highest possible privilege score to get this bent out of shape about an educational exercise. God forbid a privileged white child actually learn what people mean when they reference white privilege. SMH. Jason Schmidt/KATU

For the C-Squad … Ciara Covers #Legend Magazine Ciara is currently covering the latest issue of #Legend magazine. The songstress posed for Dennis Leupold photos in the mag and gushed about her wedding to Russell Wilson and spoke on her son Future Zahir. According to CiCi, who may or may not already pregnant right now , her favorite marriage memory was a “fairy tale”… I definitely can say it was two of the most perfect days in my life. The day before and the day of the actual wedding was a special time. When we get married, we only get it once, you can’t repeat it. So, it was like, man, it’s over already? It was honestly so beautiful and I really felt like I was in a fairy tale. It was everything I hoped for. Everything I could have hoped for, dreamed of, happened on that day. It was memorable. We spent two days with all the people that we love, your family and your close friends. I’m definitely still floating, it’s only three months ago and it’s crazy how time goes by. and the best thing about motherhood is seeing her baby boy smile. Motherhood, oh my gosh, it’s one of the best jobs in life. My family, my son and my husband, those are the things that keep me grounded and centered and there’s no better feeling than coming back and seeing him smile after a long day. You put him in a bath, you put him in bed, read a book, those moments are great to end the day and keeps life in perspective because all your child wants from you is love. They don’t care about a lot of the things we care about anyway. Being a mom is part of what motivates me in my every day life. She also dished on her modeling contract with IMG Models…. I’ve been fortunate over the years; I’ve had really cool collaborations and been part of cool campaigns. I’ve been blessed to have friends that I’ve met in the fashion world. It’s been an inspiring adventure. The exciting thing about the partnership with IMG is that I can. The ultimate goal is to do more. As an entertainer, fashion and music go hand in hand. There’s no one better than IMG to do that. I want to pose more in fashion shoots and do more cool fashion partnerships. and revealed that she hopes to one day have her own clothing line. Absolutely. It’s always been my intention to have my own clothing line. That’s one of my goals. It’s all about timing and making sure I have everything set up, but I’ve definitely always had a goal to have my own line and to be successful with it. What do YOU think about CiCi’s Legends Magazine photos??? More on the flip. Dennis Leupold
New Project Allows Black People Write Their Own Obituaries The Black Obituary Project is a collection of pre-written obits to put a spotlight on the anti-Black violence and growing surge of police brutality. HuffPo recently featured the project’s creator on why he chose to convey his sentiments in this fashion: “Ja’han Elliot Jones, 24, was unarmed when shot and killed in conflict with local police officers,” his obituary reads. “His familiarity with the Black canon steered him into a potent state of unapologetic Blackness ― one in which the James Baldwins and Young Jeezy’s; the bell hookses and the Queen Bey’s; the Frantz Fanons and the Futures all occupied hollowed, cherished beautiful space in Jones’ identity.” “So often, we are killed and our photos are posted about but our stories are not,” Jones told The Huffington Post. “This grants black folks agency we’re often denied in death. We are telling our stories ― speaking of our triumphs and tragedies ― before anyone else attempts to do so for us.” Another obituary: Read more obits at the Black Obituary Project HERE .

Donald Trump Promised Ivanka Not To Date Any Of Her Teenage Friends Seriously though, whose mans is this ? The HuffingtonPost drew our attention to a 1999 interview that potential President of The United States, Donald Trump , did with Howard Stern where he spoke on his daughter’s feelings about his dating preferences… “I have a deal with her. She’s 17 and doing great ― Ivanka. She made me promise, swear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her,” Trump said. “So as she grows older, the field is getting very limited.” First and foremost we would hope that a 53-year-old Donald Trump would not be dating a 16-year-old. But beyond that, this is just some creepy s#!t to say to your teenage daughter. Image via WENN
