Out Of Touch Mitt Robney Tells Students To “Shop Around” And Borrow From Their Rents To Pay For College [Video]

If only we all had parents with off-shore bank accounts . This fool has got us laughing and shaking our damn heads at the same time. President Obama was out campaigning this week and met with students to address the current loan burden many of us are feeling. “He said, ‘The best thing you can do is shop around,’ ” the president said to boos from a youthful crowd of 3,500 in a sunny quadrangle at Capital University in Bexley, Ohio. “That’s it. That’s his plan. That’s his answer to young people who are trying to figure out how to go to college and make sure that they don’t have a mountain of debt.” Democrats contend that Ryan’s budget proposal, which failed to pass the Democratic-controlled Senate, would cut $115 billion from the Education Department, costing 1 million college students their Pell Grants over the next decade. Democrats argue those moves would punish many middle class and low income families trying to gain an education. The Romney campaign countered that Mr. Obama’s economic policies had resulted in a “lost generation” — graduates burdened by crushing debt, with little hope of repaying it because of the bleak job market. The campaign mocked the president’s answer to a question in a television interview in New Hampshire over the weekend, about why struggling college graduates should support his re-election. “Well, they can look at my track record,” Mr. Obama said. Guess Robmoney and Paul Lyan don’t think investing in the average students future is worth it. Source Images via WENN/Youtube

In White Folks News: Former Teen Queen Taylor Swift Banned From High Profile Kennedy Wedding…But She Went Anyway!

Taylor Swift is officially a wedding crasher! Taylor Swift Banned From Kennedy Wedding But Attended Anyway Pop-princess Taylor Swift may have just tainted her goody-two-shoes image by defying the orders of her boyfriend’s family member who asked her not to attend a family wedding. Sounds like nothing, right? Well it wouldn’t be, accept that Taylor’s new cutty buddy is Conor Kennedy…..and yes, he is one of THOSE Kennedys. Many have been loathe to believe that Taylor Swift, the country-pop star forever known as a mic-jacking victim, was capable of crashing a Kennedy family wedding, but Kathie Lee Gifford may have just set the record straight. On the “Today” show Thursday, Kathie Lee explained that she knew Swift did it, regardless of what her publicist has said, because she was in attendance. (The bride, Kyle Kennedy, is Kathie Lee’s granddaughter by marriage.) The event in question actually took place last weekend, when Kyle tied the knot in Boston. Swift, who’s been spotted with boyfriend Conor Kennedy visiting his mother’s grave and is rumored to have purchased (or perhaps was just renting, depending on the report you’re reading) a home near the family, was supposedly asked not to attend that weekend’s event. The Boston Herald quoted the bride’s mother, Victoria Gifford Kennedy, who is the daughter of Kathie Lee’s husband Frank Gifford, as saying that she asked Conor and Taylor not to come via text, but they showed up anyway. When she saw them, “I personally went up to Ms. Swift, whose entrance distracted the entire event, politely introduced myself to her, and asked her as nicely as I could to leave,” Victoria told the Boston Herald Wednesday. “It was like talking to a ghost. She seemed to look right past me.” Maybe Yeezy’s ratchet run-up on Taylor a couple years ago brought out the thug misses in her…don’t let that happy face fool you.

“Basketball Wives” Beef? Gloria Govan Says She’d “Smack The Isht Out Of Shaunie O’Neal!” [Video]

If you thought Gloria Govan’s beef with the “Basketball Wives” Miami cast end when she and her sister Laura got their spinoff, well you were wrong. Recently, EUR associate/partner Cherise Nicole (www.CNikky.com) got together with Gloria Govan of “Basketball Wives: LA.” They met up at Evolution Dance Studios in North Hollywood where Gloria was getting in some hand to hand combat training for a new project for the Comedy Shaq Network called “Clean Ops.” “Clean Ops” chronicles a female assassin, V (portrayed by Govan), as she eliminates undesirable targets. She’s been trained, from an early age, to be a classically trained ballerina as well as a weapons and hand to hand combat expert. Although, you’re unsure what side she’s on, what is clear, is that you don’t want to be on her bad side. Anyway, keep that whole combat/assassin thing in mind ’cause when Cherise jokingly asked Gloria if she had use her new skills on anybody on “Basketball Wives” … Miami or LA, who would it be? Govan didn’t hesitate. “I think I’d use my moves on every cast member in Miami. I would wait for Evelyn. Evelyn would be last. I’d knock out Shaunie first. And then … you know Royce apologized to me after the last reunion. So, I wouldn’t knock her out. I’d just smack the sh*t out of her.” She continued, “Susie I like. Jennifer just gets on my nerves … like her voice irritates me so I would try to take out her voice box.” The interview was done a few days prior to Evelyn allegedly getting head-butted by her soon to be ex-husband, Chad Johnson, and Gloria was just joking … we think. Anyway, she wasn’t through knocking Evelyn, figuratively that is. Gloria also told Cherise about the new season of “Basketball Wives,” being a Mom of 2 twin boys and ironically, the violence that happened on the last season of “Basketball Wives (Miami).” The new season of “Basketball Wives: LA” debuts on Monday, September 10. Do you think Gloria’s comments will result in more drama from Shaunie, Royce, Jennifer and Evelyn? Is she talking reckless or just keeping it a hundred? Source

For Discussion: Should Weezy Throw Out An Apology For Dissin’ New York?

New York Senator Malcom Smith isn’t too cool with Lil Wayne right now. He’s called Weezy out and is asking fellow New Yorker Nicki Minaj to step in and encourage Wayne to apologize. The offending comment, via MTV, was brief: “Flat out: I don’t like New York,” Wayne said Monday when he was asked how performing with Minaj in the city went last week. Smith responded swiftly, issuing a statement slamming Wayne and praising New York as “the birthplace of the Hip Hop music movement.” Smith, who recently helped promote an anti-gun initiative in the city, also slammed Wayne’s 2007 gun possession arrest, which resulted in the rapper serving eight months on Rikers Island. At a Times Square press conference Wednesday, Smith’s crusade continued. He railed against Wayne for making money in New York while bashing it and alleged the rapper’s comments had also insulted the likes of Frank Sinatra and Jay-Z, because both men had “made endearing” songs about the city. Charles Fisher of the Hip Hop Summit Youth Council also expressed concern that Wayne’s comments could spark a rap war, Politicker reported. “Sixteen years ago, Tupac Shakur was murdered, and Biggie Smalls came right after that….We can’t afford to have a war between New York and the South. Lil Wayne is out of Atlanta, grew up in New Orleans,” Fisher said. “It is my hope and I believe and I want to believe that he had a lapse in mental judgement for some strange reason and I hope that he will think about it,” Smith said. “New Yorkers are forgiving people. We’re prepared to forgive Lil Wayne if, in fact, he makes a sincere apology.” Let us know what you think. Does Smith have a point or is he a little sensitive? Source Images via Twitter/WENN

Come On Mike: Former Presidential Candidate Huckabee Claims “‘Forcible Rapes Create ‘Extraordinary’ People”

In what we’d call the worst defense for Todd Akin to-date, Mike Huckabee spit some ridic statements. Standing by the side of the Republican candidate, former Presidential runner-up Mike Huckabee tried to explain why Women shouldn’t have an abortion…even if the conception of their unborn child was created because of rape! Huckabee used his syndicated radio program Monday to give the embattled candidate a safe venue to express remorse and his determination to remain in the race. Huckabee also took the opportunity to cast the best possible light on Akin’s awkward position. The former Arkansas governor and onetime GOP presidential contender suggested a couple of cases in which he suggested that rapes, though “horrible tragedies,” had produced admirable human beings. “Ethel Waters, for example, was the result of a forcible rape,” Huckabee said of the late American gospel singer. One-time presidential candidate Huckabee added: “I used to work for James Robison back in the 1970s, he leads a large Christian organization. He, himself, was the result of a forcible rape. And so I know it happens, and yet even from those horrible, horrible tragedies of rape, which are inexcusable and indefensible, life has come and sometimes, you know, those people are able to do extraordinary things.” We think this fool needs to check himself so he can come correct on Women’s Issues. We all have a choice but it seems they (repubs) seem to forget that we can make decisions for ourselves. Source Images via WENN

High Hopes: Hollyweird Banger Blake Lively Says She’ll ‘Never’ Bear Her Bee Stings On The Big Screen

Blake Lively Says She’ll Never Show Her Bare Body For A Movie Role Gossip Girl and resident Hollyweird big-screen banger Blake Lively vows to never be seen on screen in her birthday suit. Blake Lively has insisted that she will never strip for an acting role because she finds it “distracting” to the plot. The actress also revealed that she finds on-screen nudity unnecessary. “When I see it in movies, I am always distracted by it. I know that if I am watching a scene and someone has their boobs out, then that’s all I’m looking at – I can’t help it. I just don’t think that will ever be right for me,” Contactmusic quoted her as telling Style magazine. While this is admirable, we’ve seen many an actress make this claim early on in the game and then backtrack on their statement later. Good luck! Source Images via Wenn

Hate It Or Love It? Nicki Minaj Confirmed As American Idol Judge Alongside Mariah Carey

Nicki Minaj Joins American Idol Judges Panel American Idol fans can get ready for lots of colorful commentary and colossal-caked costumes next season because Nicki Minaj will be joining the judges panel. After reports circulated that the young money madame was considering the gig yesterday, it has now been confirmed that she will indeed be filling the AI judges seat next to Mariah Carey. Nicki Minaj — and her multiple personas — will be joining Mariah Carey at the judges’ table on American Idol, two sources confirm to Us Weekly exclusively. “I’m not sure the deal is completely done yet, but yes, she is definitely doing it,” one insider reveals. “A few more slight things to sign off on but it is happening.” A second source says the “Super Bass” rapper, 29, is “100% confirmed to judge American Idol.” Reps for FOX and Minaj had no comment when contacted by Us. Looks like they’re down to one seat to fill and either Bad Boy head honcho Diddy or record producer extraordinaire Pharell Williams will be the man for the job. Either way, whoever gets the job will definitely have their hands full with these two divas! We just hope the stage is big enough to fit both of their larger than life personalities … Source
