Taylor vs. Katy? Taylor vs. Kim? Taylor vs… everyone? No, 2017 was not a year where only Taylor Swift feuded with her fellow celebrities, it just felt that way. Scroll down for a look at the most memorable rivalries of the past 12 months: 1. Katy Perry vs. Taylor Swift This feud has been going on for years now, but it was elevated to dizzying heights in 2017. “Honestly, it’s really like she started it and it’s time for her to finish it,” said Katy in May during Carpool Karaoke with James Corden. What followed was a colossal change of heart on Katy’s part. In multiple interviews thereafter, Katy was saying that she always loved Taylor. In a hilarious turn of events, Taylor released all of her music on streaming services the same day Katy released her new album. This is the feud that keeps on giving. 2. NeNe Leaks vs. Kim Zolciak It’s crazy to imagine that NeNe and Kim were once scheduled to star in a joint spin-off of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Their feud in 2017 reached new levels of crazy when Kim’s daughter, Brielle Biermann claimed there as an insect infestation in NeNe’s home. “@briellebiermann We don’t have roaches! If you found 1, u brought it with u or it fell outta yo funky p—y!, said Leakes via Instagram. “Please know I will get You all the way together when you start f–king wit me and mine!” NeNe proceeded to call Kim racist, but it backfired in stunning fashion when Kim sought legal counsel. 3. Sarah Jessica Parker vs. Kim Cattrall A third Sex and the City movie was allegedly days away from entering production, but multiple reports swirled, claiming that Cattrall’s diva demands for the movie ultimately found it being shelved indefinitely. Cattrall subsequently chatted to Piers Morgan about her feud with Sarah Jessica Parker and she was not supportive of her former friend at all. “And this is really where I take to task the people from Sex and the City and specifically Sarah Jessica Parker in that I think she could have been nicer. I don’t know what her issue is, I never have.” We’ll probably be waiting until a reboot of the series kicks off for a response from Parker. 4. Caitlyn Jenner vs. The Kardashians Caitlyn Jenner released a tell-all memoir that was met with an icy response from the Kardashians. Caitlyn confirmed in November that the family no longer spoke to her. Kim was especially mad about the whole thing and opened up about it to Ellen DeGeneres. “I don’t expect her to be honest about my mom now, but it’s just so hurtful. Like, I just wish her all the success in the world, but not at our expense.” 5. Drake Bell vs. Josh Peck Drake Bell lashed out at Josh Peck for not inviting him to his wedding. “When you’re not invited to the wedding the message is clear….” he wrote on social media. In the end, the two men hugged it out at the MTV VMAs and all was right in the world. 6. Taylor Swift vs. Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Taylor brought her feud with Kim and Kanye back into the spotlight when she had some choice lyrics seemingly aimed at Kanye on “Look What You Made Me Do.” “I don’t like your little games / Don’t like your tilted stage / The role you made me play / Of the fool, no, I don’t like you.” Kim responded months late by reposting the image that included the nude wax figure of Taylor Swift from Kanye’s “Famous” video. Fans were not impressed and the comments of the post were filled with rat emojis. View Slideshow

Most people might say the food or Atlanta is the home of legendary groups like TLC, Xscape, and Outkast. Anybody under the age of 18 would probably say because Atlanta is the home to artist like Future or TI. If you ask a college student, they would say the HBCU’s or Birthday Bash every summer.

We can all agree the Insecure , HBO’s hit comedy series from the brilliant Issa Rae, is absolutely everything! It’s relevant, relatable and offers a hilarious and heartbreaking look at modern love and relationships. With its second season recently ending and work already being done on the third, Insecure is already a pop culture phenomenon. However, while the character of Issa Dee is hilariously awkward in her quest to navigate the tricky waters of love, friendships and career, let’s not forget those classic TV characters who paved the way. Long before there was Insecure , there were the classic black TV characters from the plethora of black TV shows from the 80s, 90s and early 00s. Classic sitcoms like Living Single , Girlfriends and A Different World are just a few of the shows featuring female characters that strived to have it all…even if circumstances or themselves kept getting in the way. Let’s take a look at some of the most iconic TV characters who made it possible for Insecure ’s Issa Dee to be so beloved! Khadijah James – Living Single : Before there was Sex and the City , before there was Friends , there was this iconic 90s sitcom about four friends living in a NYC brownstone (well Max didn’t technically live there) and trying to make their dreams come true. Of the four ladies (including Regine, Sinclair and Maxine) Khadijah James, played by the always amazing Queen Latifah, was the ultimate girl boss of all. She was fiercely independent, often refusing help as she ran her own magazine Flavor , was loyal to her friends, but wouldn’t hesitate to dish out tough love, she often acted as the voice of reason and had just as many problems in her love life as her three best friends. Khadijah James was the perfect example that even those who appear to have it all together, still fall down occasionally as they navigate this thing called life, often with a combination of laughter and tears. Joan Clayton – Girlfriends : If you were really paying attention during the very first episode of Insecure , then you noticed the cute homage that was paid to the classic series Girlfriends , which Issa Rae has said was a big inspiration for the show. Like Living Single , Girlfriends was also about four friends, but with a more modern millennium take, as the show premiered in 2000. Of all the girlfriends, none were more career-orientated, awkward, neurotic, frustrating, lovable and funny than Joan Clayton, played beautifully by Tracee Ellis Ross. Joan wanted nothing more than to have the fairytale relationship, perfect career and be the ideal friend to everyone—too bad she continued to get in her own way at every turn, ensuring her outcome would be the opposite of what she intended. No matter how many times Joan came up short she always dusted herself off and went full speed ahead into her next adventure…exactly how Issa operates on Insecure . Whitley Gilbert, Freddie Brooks, Kimberly Reese – A Different World : This trio of ladies from the still relevant and forever iconic TV show A Different World , represented practically all of the emotional, professional and financial ups and downs you face as you become an adult. Whitley, Freddie and Kim were all very different personality-wise, but their awkward, hilarious and at times touching struggles, as college students who eventually graduate and truly begin to face life’s obstacles, were quite similar. Whitley realized that she had to grow up in order to find her Prince Charming, her dream job and have long-lasting friendships. Kim had to learn to make room for her fierce dedication, education, love life and friends to all coexist in the same space. Freddie had to understand that being different and following your own path doesn’t mean that you have to alienate yourself from others and that true friends will accept all your eccentricities. These all are rites of passage that most of us have dealt with at some point, which is why these classic characters will always have relevancy. Pamela James – Martin : Sure, Gina was the female lead on the legendary FOX sitcom Martin , but she was in a relationship for the entire series, meaning viewers never got to see her as a single girl. This is why her best friend Pam was the one to look to, as she had the most romantic rollercoaster ride of any of the cast members. She was constantly teased about not having a man, but Pam rarely let Martin and his boys get her down for long. Pam was sexy, stylish, sassy and she refused to settle for anything less, which was such a strong testament to 90s female TV characters. Viewers may not have gotten to see Pam get married, although we did get to see her boo’d up with Tommy for a bit, but she didn’t need to be because she was the single representation of two girlfriends while Gina was the committed half—that’s what you call the perfect balance. Teri Joseph – Soul Food (TV series): Where to begin with Soul Food ’s Teri Joseph. She was the classic overachieving, Type-A personality that was the first one to call when you were in trouble, but had the worst track record with love. Twice divorced, but finding unexpected love with a man who was younger and initially worked as a courier, attorney Teri faced multiple obstacles in her relationship—watching closely as her married, younger sisters faced their own troubles. Teri didn’t need anyone and because she was so used to being everyone’s savior it was hard for her to open up and let someone else take care of her. This is a situation that many modern career women face, and although Issa’s Insecure character hasn’t directly faced this issue, her best friend Molly likely has or will soon. Melanie Barnett – The Game : When it comes to modern TV romances, few characters had as many messy situations, false starts and stops and non-stop drama as The Game ’s Melanie “Med School” Barnett. The show’s long-running romantic saga of Melanie and her professional NFL boyfriend Derwin was the most dramatic and addictive part of the series. Melanie made so many mistakes that we all fall victim to in our 20s, but as hilarious and painful as it was to watch, it proved to be so relatable because of its imperfections. From moving cross-country to follow her boyfriend and ultimately finding him cheating with someone else to having a “hoe phase” like Issa and finally marrying her soulmate, Melanie navigated through it all through tears, laughter, her girlfriends and finally learning to stand on her own two feet. Olivia Pope – Scandal : It may not be a comedy like the other shows, but ABC’s Scandal has enough relationship drama to last a lifetime. Let’s just get it out of the way, Olivia Pope is a boss in every sense of the word (she practically runs Washington,) but her personal life is often in shambles. It once again proves that love is that often tricky area of life where even the most poised and polished of women have trouble. Issa cheated on her boyfriend with an old classmate, while Olivia was having a long-standing affair with the then-married POTUS. Their worlds may be miles apart, but their relationship issues are perhaps more similar than one would imagine. With Scandal nearing the end of its runs, fans are eagerly wondering if everyone’s favorite fixer will get her happy ending. Mary Jane Paul – Being Mary Jane : While only on the air a few years longer than Insecure , it’s hard not to notice how Mary Jane Paul and Issa Dee both have a lock on who can find themselves in the messiest romance scenarios. Mary Jane may not share Issa awkwardness, but she definitely shares her insecurities of not feeling good enough…in work or in love. Also like Issa, just when you think Mary Jane is finally about to get her rainbow at the end of her storm, the other shoe drops and she’s right back at square one. DON’T MISS: Stork Alert!

A federal grand jury in Toledo, Ohio indicted a third Ohio pastor for conspiracy to sex traffic children charges, alleging that the trio enticed underaged girls to have sex for money, WOIO-TV reported. The US Attorney’s Office said the Rev. Anthony Haynes , 38, started grooming a 14-year-old victim in 2014 for prostitution and introduced the girl to other men, adding that all three of the pastors sexually assaulted her, according to the Associated Press . All three pastors pleaded not guilty on Tuesday.

This third indictment came against the Rev. Kenneth Butler . Indictments on the same charges against Haynes and the Rev. Cordell Jenkins , 47, were handed down in July. Federal prosecutors combined the cases into one group of charges to facilitate the proceedings. The clergymen, who allegedly had sex with young girls at their churches and at hotels, are also accused of producing child pornography, WTOL-TV reported. The 14-year-old allegedly groomed by Hayes said she had sex with Butler, 37, in his car twice in exchange for money, and he told her to lie if investigators questioned her, according to the Toledo Blade .They face life in prison if found guilty of the federal charges.

Jenkins’ attorney, Lorin Zaner , said she’s trying to keep her client and his family “upbeat” at this difficult time, adding that he has never been in legal trouble in the past, which makes this situation difficult, the news outlet stated. All three pastors are expected to appear in court in January for a follow-up hearing on how the proceedings will unfold. In the meantime, they remain behind bars.
