The Side-Eye: Money Mitt Romney Calls Obama A LIAR… “The President Tends To Say Things That Aren’t True!”

This guy can’t be serious… Mitt Romney seemed to question the President’s credibility Friday in an interview with ABC News, talking big yang about how he’s concerned Obama might be speaking falsehoods in their upcoming debates: Mitt Romney says he expects President Obama to be less-than-truthful during the three presidential debates next month. “I think the challenge that I’ll have in the debate is that the president tends to, how shall I say it, to say things that aren’t true,” Romney said during an interview with ABC News published Friday. “I’ve looked at prior debates,” the GOP candidate added. “And in that kind of case, it’s difficult to say — well, am I going to spend my time correcting things that aren’t quite accurate? Or am I going to spend my time talking about the things I want to talk about?” Accusations of dishonesty have been lobbed by both campaigns as the general election race heads into the final fall sprint. Romney’s campaign, for example, has accused Team Obama of making false claims about his business record and personal finances. Obama’s campaign has accused Romney’s camp of misleading voters about his changes to welfare-to-work rules and other matters. With new polls finding Obama leading Romney nationally and in some key swing states, the upcoming debates are looking like the Republican’s best chance to regain some momentum against the president. Romney is already practicing, with Ohio Sen. Rob Portman serving as a stand-in for Obama in mock debates. When asked if Portman — who is known as a master debater — beat him in their first mock match-ups, Romney laughed. “I’m not revealing those kinds of secrets, but I will never debate Rob Portman again,” he joked. Romney also said he plans to ease any debate jitters by looking to his wife. “Ann always gives me the advice as I get ready to go up on the stage and offers a few words of encouragement. And I look to her when I’m in the debate. I look and see her,” Romney said. “Typically, her eyes are down. [She’s] more nervous in the debates than I am. She says, ‘I wish I could debate instead.’ She said, ‘I wouldn’t be as nervous.’ But I look to her,” Romney said. “And when she’s smiling and confident, that gives me the boost I need.” The first debate is scheduled for Oct. 3 at the University of Denver. This thing they’ve been doing — trying to make the Romneys seem more like the average Americans next door — it’s not working! And anybody who HIDES as much money as Mitt should be ashamed suggesting other folks are less than honest. He’s the epitome of super SHADY! Source WENN

SMH: Florida Pizzeria Owner Being Boycotted By White Folks For “Picking Up And Hugging” Barack Obama

Remember that guy who picked up the President in his pizza shop?? Well now, shady mugfuggas are boycotting him for doing such… Via Politico: The owner of a Florida pizza shop says people are boycotting his business because he bear-hugged President Barack Obama on Sunday. “People are saying a lot of bad things and boycotting my restaurant,” Scott Van Duzer, 46, told POLITICO. “There’s no middle line anymore, and that’s exactly what’s wrong with our country right now.” The owner of Big Apple Pizza & Pasta Restaurant in Fort Pierce, Fla., said that both Democrats and Republicans are welcome in his store. Obama told The New York Times that Van Duzer’s effort in promoting blood donations was part of the reason the campaign decided to visit his pizza shop. “One of the reasons that we wanted to stop by is that Scott has been doing unbelievable work out of this pizza shop in promoting the importance of donating blood,” Obama told the Times. “And so he has set some records here in Florida. He has received commendations from the White House, the surgeon general, he has galvanized and mobilized the local community and he’s educating kids and folks all across the country on this issue.” Wow. People really ain’t isht. Discuss…

Android Homme Shoes (Javier Laval) Was On Everyone’s (Jay-Z To Jay Cole) Feet At The VMA’s: Sit Down With Young Black Hetro Owner! [Video]

We wrote about this brand when they first started , years ago. This time, we talk to Javier about his Android Homme’s success, Air Yeezy’s, and more. As a matter of fact, it was one of our first Saturday Styles ever back in 2008… ANDROID HOMME YOUR FAVORITE ARTISTS FAVORITE BRAND! Bossip : What’s your name and whats your relation to the Android Homme brand? JL: Javier Laval . Founder . Creative Director . Brand Architect of Android Homme. @javierlaval Bossip : How has your business been since we last talked? JL: Truthfully our business has seen some explosive growth since we last connected.  When we spoke last you were one of the first to cover Android Homme during our debut season.  We have since expanded our distribution to include global retail accounts all over the world, we have been featured in numerous publications, blogs and of course on the feet of many of our favorite artists.  We have also tiered our brand to include a “Made In Italy” collection that is shipping to the finest retailers in the world, as well as created our very successful diffusion line AH by ANDROID HOMME which can be found in more mass market retailers around the country.  AH by Android Homme is different than Android Homme because of the technology we used on the outsole as well as the premium synthetic materials we used make the shoe super light without compromising the look.  We are also opening up our own retail shop Downtown Los Angeles by the end of August, we already have the space and have just been building it out.  Thats major progress and we love those that have supported us since DAY ONE like  Bossip.com ! Bossip : How do you like it being a young minority controlling and thwarting the men’s shoe game in your direction? JL: Its a challenge because im pretty much the only young black/latino designer having success in the footwear business that i know of.  I had a vision and i stuck to it no matter the “trends” or the resistance from retailers and consumers.  We are a forward thinking brand so some of the trends that people jump on is not where we are coming from.  I do believe that we are still young as a brand and have so much more room to grow so i don’t believe im controlling the game but im definitely playing it really well. Bossip : Do you receive credit for being one of if not thee first shoe designer to embrace and build on the high-high top styled kicks? JL: Im not sure actually, i know i didn’t invent the hi-top so i wouldn’t expect much credit for building upon that.  I do think that to a certain degree im credited with bringing a consistent quality luxury sneaker to a street/fashion consumer using some of the same suppliers, and vendors as the larger brands but at a reasonable price point.

Kim Kardashian Hollywood Walk of Fame Dreams: Crushed!

Kim Kardashian made it clear in a recent interview with V : She wants to one day earn herself a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Is this in any way plausible? A chamber of commerce rep was asked that question by The Hollywood Reporter and essentially responded: No, not unless Kardashian, you know, actually accomplishes something. “Part of criteria in being honored is receiving awards such as Emmys, SAG Awards, Oscars, etc. in the category of television, live-stage performance or motion pictures,” said this person in the know. “They have to have a career in the business of acting for five years or more.” Kardashian has (unfortunately) guest-starred on How I Met Your Mother and Drop Dead Diva . She’ll even make an appearance in an upcoming Tyler Perry movie . If that’s not enough, would Kardashian’s career in front of E! cameras qualify her for a spot alongside the legends of Hollywood Boulevard? Could reality stars ever be treated in such high regard? The rep offered a simple answer: That’s “not on our radar right now.” Sorry, Kim. We hate to be the bearer of such bad, obvious news. (Editor’s Note: That’s not true. We enjoy it.)

Joan Rivers Wants to Slap "Idiot" Rihanna

Despite the candor, honesty and genuine emotion she showed, some of Rihanna’s recent confessions to Oprah did not go over well with people. Joan Rivers pointedly criticized her interview Sunday on Oprah’s Next Chapter , in which she wept talking about how she still loves Chris Brown . Rivers weighed in on this surprising revelation as only she can … and Rihanna wasted little time firing back at the outspoken TV personality: Rihanna also told Joan to “slap on some diapers.” Nice. Mind you, in the interview, the singer alluded to the fact that Chris is in a relationship with Karrueche Tran , and said they are NOT back together. Rihanna’s comments were more about wanting to help Chris with his obvious problems and the pain of losing someone she called her best friend. Is there something more between them? Will there be? Chris’ mom Joyce Hawkins might think so, but we’re skeptical. Not that it’s any of her business regardless, but if they’re not even dating again, why is Joan so pissed? Tell us what you think in the comments below.
