“Fawk You And Your Deflated Balls”: Bill Maher Is Rooting For Falcons Because… Trump [VIDEO]

Bill Maher Says He Wants Falcons To Win Superbowl Rise Up! “Real Time with Bill Maher” Friday was LIT overall, but one of our favorite parts had to be the “Cheer No Evil/New Rules” segment where Maher pledged his allegiance to the Atlanta Falcons because he hates the Trump loving Patriots. Can’t say that we blame him. Hit the flip for some more great moments from last night’s show.

WIC-WIC-Wack! Keshia Knight Pulliam Says White Hospital Worker May Have Assumed She Was A Poor Single Mom Based On THIS

Keshia Knight Pulliam Reveals Her Labor Experience Included One Strange Encounter Baby Ella Grace arrived about two weeks ago, and Keshia Knight Pulliam is finally comfortable enough back at home with her baby to return to her Kandidly Keshia podcast . Keshia posted a new episode Friday all about her birth experience, which included at least one strange encounter with an “older little white lady — about 70” who was assigned as her lactation specialist. Pulliam described how the woman approached her offering her information about government assistance! Via Daily Mail reports : ‘We have some great programs that you may want to take advantage of that you may need … um, WIC is a great program.’ ‘So I guess she saw this little black girl with the little baby by herself and on the door, I didn’t realize that they’d put like a faux last name and the last name was Brown,’ said Pulliam. ‘So I guess she saw “Miss Brown” and was like, ‘She probably needs some WIC’ and insurance services. Pulliam said she cut the woman off in telling her, ‘Ma’am, I have excellent insurance but thank you.’ Keshia mentioned that while she understands that the hospital workers have an obligation to communicate ‘the services that are offered,’ she was offended that the woman presumed she was in need of the specific options she mentioned. Do you think she overreacted? She is absolutely right that it was that woman’s job to inform her of services offered, but what we are more alarmed by is Pulliam’s claims that the woman didn’t want to touch her. She didn’t want to touch me – [specialists will typically] guide your boob, show you how to hold it, put it in the baby’s mouth, [but] this lady was not trying to touch my little brown boobie – not at all,’ said Keisha. Keisha eventually requested a different lactation specialist. Would you have done the same thing? Instagram

Brad Pitt to Angelina Jolie: No Child Support for You!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie can agree on one thing and one thing only these days. The estranged spouses released a statement through their lawyers a few weeks ago in which they said they will keep the personal lives of their children out of the press for the duration of their divorce. That seemed like progress at the time. It seemed as if Jolie and Pitt were done playing games and were intent on actually pushing through with their legal breakup in the most amicable way possible. Since then, however, well… … there’s been talk that Pitt checked himself into rehab for substance abuse issues. … and there’s been chatter that Jolie is intent on adopting a seventh child, despite Pitt being strongly against any new siblings for his kids. It really is amazing just how far this previously-beloved couple has fallen. They were the apple of Hollywood’s eye just a couple months ago and now each rumor about the former couple is more disheartening than the one before it. But anyway. On to the latest! According to In Touch Weekly, Jolie is demanding $100,000 in child support each month from Pitt. (This may seem excessive to some, but it’s almost literal pocket change to Johnny Depp .) And while Pitt has filed for joint custody of the children – Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 8 – and while he “has no issue taking care of the kids,” a source tells the tabloid that he finds this number to be excessive. Can Pitt afford it? Yes.  Are the kids worth it? Of course. But he simply doesn’t trust Jolie to be in charge of how such ample funds are spent. The actor is the one being asked to pony up child support because worth more than Jolie at the moment. He’s willing to accept her request of $100,000 each month in order to pay for the kids’ expenses and to set up a trust fun, an insider tells In Touch Weekly. View Slideshow: 13 Reasons Angelina Jolie is the Antichrist According to this report, every year, $250,000 will be put in each child’s trust fund, which will be capped off at $5 million. This disagreement is merely the latest in what has become a sad saga. Pitt has said in court that Jolie often exploits her children any time she thinks it may “benefit” her career or her cause, adding that his former wife has “exposed the children by making public the names of their therapist and other mental health professionals.” In retaliation, Jolie has said that Pitt wants to keep details about their children’s life private because he’s afraid the public will otherwise learn the truth. And that truth, according to Jolie, is that Pitt is a bad father who got drunk on a plane in September and assaulted their 15-year old son. View Slideshow: 13 Reasons to Be Glad You Never Slept With Brad Pitt Last month, the two faced off over whether or not to send their offspring to a “traditional school.” “Brad’s team is insisting that they enroll the kids in a traditional school in LA, but Angie’s team rejected the idea,” an insider told In Touch at the time, adding: “[Brad’s] team also proposed that one parent always stay behind in LA when the other has to go away on a film shoot or out of town for work, which would allow the kids to remain in school.” Things really have grown ugly. And we have a feeling they will get even uglier before they get any better.

Exclusive – Bobby Shmurda: “I Tried To Smuggle Shank Into Jail”

Rapper Pleads Guilty To Attempted Promoting Prison Contraband; Moved To Upstate Jail After Inmate Tried To Stab Him Rapper Bobby Shmurda admitted he tried to smuggle a shank into jail under a deal that will have him serve 1.3 to four years at the same time as his current sentence for conspiracy and weapons possession. The “Hot N***a” rapper Thursday pled guilty to one count of attempted promoting prison contraband – a nonviolent felony – telling Bronx Supreme Court Judge Marc Whitten that he did indeed try to bring a “sharp metal object” into New York’s Rikers Island jail in 2015 before cops caught him. “Is it true that on that date…that you did, in fact, possess a white latex glove balloon wrapped in tape with a sharp metal object?” Judge Whitten asked. “Attempted, yes sir,” Shmurda responded. The plea was part of a deal to make most of the charges from the incident go away. Prosecutors said Shmurda’s gal pal, Kimberly Rousseau, passed him a “sharpened metal object” during a jail visit to Rikers Island last year. They then said he lied about the incident to the Grand Jury. Rousseau has since pled guilty to promoting prison contraband. Shmurda could’ve gotten seven years just for the perjury charge had the case gone to trial. Under the deal’s terms, Shmurda can’t appeal the sentence, and he’ll be barred from voting or serving on a jury once he gets out. The 21-year-old has been locked up since late 2014 on charges of criminal possession of a weapon and conspiracy. In that case, prosecutors alleged he was the leader of the GS9 street gang, which terrorized Brooklyn with drug sales and shootings. He has to serve at least six years and will be eligible for parole in 2021.

My Mr. Clean Is Black: Check Out The New Melanin-Infused Company Spokesman

Mr. Clean’s New Black Spokesman Mr. Clean is “going on vacation,” so he held a national search for a suitable replacement spokesmodel . The winner was Mike Jackson, and he will appear in a Super Bowl commercial this weekend. According to People , Jackson beat out many other applicants in the clean company’s nationwide search for the bald guy’s stand in. As Mike already has a shaved head and winning smile, he easily snagged the role. A little more about Jackson: he’s a Georgia native who works in sports marketing, and spends his free time working out, traveling around the U.S., and reading. As Mike said in a recent press release: “While it’s impossible to replace the iconic Mr., I’m excited for the opportunity to help people tackle the most seemingly impossible messes while he’s away.” In addition, Jackson also won $20,000 and a lifetime supply of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, and also appears in the 2017 digital calendar.

Johnny Depp: Where Did All His Money Go?

As we reported earlier this week, several sources are claiming that Johnny Depp is flat broke , as a result of years of extravagant spending on incredibly posh luxury items. Some of his financial woes are the result of his wildly expensive divorce from Amber Heard , which has cost the actor than $7 million in settlement cash, to say nothing of what he was forced to fork over in terms of assets and legal fees. All told, the ill-fated marriage probably plundered Captain Jack’s treasure chest for upwards of 10 mill, but that’s chump change to a screen icon with a wildly lucrative Disney franchise, right? Well – not if the stories about Depp’s spending are true, and as unbelievable as they sound, they come from a reliable source. Depp recently tried to sue his financial management firm, TMG, for mishandling his funds. TMG countersued, and the court documents published by several media outlets paint a picture of a man who loves the high life and spends without a thought for his own future. The spending habit that’s grabbed the most headlines is Depp’s tendency to spend upwards of $30,000 a month on wine. At $360,000 a year, that’s certainly a lot of high-end vino, but by itself the costly vintages wouldn’t put too much of a dent in Depp’s bank account. After all, this is a guy who’s pulled in $25 million a picture for the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, plus back-end percentages on everything from box office to merchandising. By some estimates the franchise has earned him upwards of half a billion dollars. The actor has even said that he was “overpaid” for this films, confessing that he made “stupid money” and did it solely to ensure a comfortable future for his kids. Unfortunately, if TMG’s claims are to be believed, there may not be much for left over for Lily-Rose and Jack Depp. The company alleges “extravagant and extreme” spending on Depp’s part that left in the position of being forced to pay his income taxes late several years in a row. And just what in the hell did he blow all that cash on? Well, in addition to those crates of ’47 Bordeaux, Depp dropped an unknown quantity of cash on the ultimate celebrity status symbol: a private island. And, of course, no Bahamian paradise would be complete with a massive yacht: Depp’s 150-footer reportedly cost $18 million. It seems the actor’s passion for transportation isn’t limited to the seas, as he’s spent untold millions on a collection of about 45 classic cars, and drops a reported $200,000 a month on his Gulfstream GV private jet. (Depp refuses to fly commercial, which should come as no surprise at this point.) But as much as he likes to move around, Depp also appears to enjoy time at home – or should we say homes ? TMG claims he recently spent $75 million to “acquire, improve, and furnish 14 residences” around the world. So yeah, it’s not hard to see why Depp might be dragging his feet on forking over Heard’s divorce cash – as well as looking for someone to blame for his financial situation.

Ariana Grande: PREGNANT?!?!

We’ve got some big news, friends. Really big, like, bigger than Beyonce being pregnant with twins. Ha ha, just kidding, no news for the rest of all time could be as big as Beyonce being pregnant with twins . But this new thing is still pretty good! Pop princess Ariana Grande, according a tweet made by the Associated Press earlier today, is pregnant. PREGNANT! “If Ariana Grande is pregnant,” you may be wondering as this shocker sinks in at home, “why haven’t I heard about it?” Well, don’t worry your little heart, because there are a couple of reasons you may have missed the big announcement. One is the previously mentioned Beyonce pregnancy. The Queen of England could be pregnant right now and everyone would still be talking about Beyonce , let’s just be real about that. And two, shortly after the AP tweeted the Ariana pregnancy announcement, the tweet was deleted – and replaced with a statement. In its place, they wrote “@APEntertainment has deleted from its account a tweet about Ariana Grande. It was unauthorized. We are investigating.” Hmmm … We did not see this coming, to say the least, nor do we know what to make of it. But basically, one of two things is happening here. One, someone managed to hack the Associated Press’ Twitter account, or a rogue employee decided to have some fun. That person made this tweet, it’s not true, the AP retracted it, someone got fired if it was an internal prank, and that’s the end of the story. Honestly, that scenario makes sense. The “who’s the father” part seems a little scandalous for the AP, and most every tweet on their account contains a link to a story or video on their site. This one doesn’t. But the second possibility, the less likely but infinitely more fun possibility is that Ariana really is pregnant, and someone let it slip. It wouldn’t be impossible. An overzealous employee with the Twitter login info spilling the beans a little too soon? Wouldn’t be a first. Moreover, the 23-year-old Ariana has been dating Mac Miller for several months now, and they seem to be going strong, so … Somewhat lost in  her amazing tirade against slut shaming back in December was confirmation that she and Mac are pretty serious. When a fan of Mac’s saw them together and began making crude remarks about her, she had some high praise for the rapper. As Grande said of Miller, “I’m an adult human being in a relationship with a man who treats me with love and respect.” It was part of a larger point, but you get what we’re saying, right? If she’s with someone who treats her with love and respect, she’s probably sleeping with him. And if she’s sleeping with him … Look, things happen, that’s all we’re saying. View Slideshow: 29 Hottest Ariana Grande Photos of All Time So could Ariana really be pregnant? Was the original tweet just some joke? Just what exactly is going on in that uterus of hers?! What does Big Sean have to say about this?! Only time will tell, we suppose.

Lindsay Lohan: Off the Wagon? Partying Her Way Across Europe?

Well, that didn’t take long. For a while there, it looked like Lindsay Lohan had really turned things around. Or at the very least, she’d sworn off hoovering piles of cocaine in order to better focus on spying for the Turkish government . Hey, it’s a step in the direction … we think. If nothing else, Lindsay pulled a serious role model upgrade in recent months. there was a brief period where instead of trying to be the next Courtney Love, she set her sights on being the next Angelina Jolie. Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done, and it looks like LiLo may be backsliding into her own ways. It seems part of the problem is that one of Lindsay’s most high-profile international “philanthropic” endeavors was the opening of Lohan nightclub in Athens. Yes, she opened a nightclub and named it after herself, and yes, she claimed all the profits would go to charity. For all we know, maybe she has donated all the profits. If the past year has taught us anything, it’s that orange-colored throwback celebs who seem to suffer from constant allergy symptoms aren’t always forthcoming with their tax returns. Anyway, to the utter shock of absolutely no one, Lindsay has been partying at Lohan nightclub . Sources say she’s been spotted hanging out in the VIP with the “business partner” who helped her purchase the place. You may remember him as the dude Lindsay claimed to be “just friends” with in the video where she debuted her weird new fake accent: Lindsay Lohan’s Bizarre New Accent According to Radar Online, she’s off the wagon, they’re hooking up, and the whole is being kept on the ultra down-low for fear that it’ll mess up Lindsay’s last ditch effort to salvage what’s left of her reputation through good works. In case you haven’t been keeping up on the personal affairs of an actress who hasn’t appeared in a hit movie in 13 years (Jeez, what have you been doing with your life?!), Lindsay appeared to have put the partying life behind her in recent months. First, she deleted all of her Instagram photos and left only a traditional Muslim greeting in their place . When she reappeared on social media, it was with a bunch of Jolie-esque photos in which she’s seen posing with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdorgan. Erdogan’s a pretty problematic dude, what with having just suppressed a coup last year, but hey, at least Lohan was briefly taking an interest in things that don’t go up her nose, right? Of course, given the fact that she was getting involved with some pretty shady characters, it might be a good thing that Lindsay has rediscovered her passion for blow and publicly sucking face.
