Oops, their bad! The following celebrities haven't just misled the public on a few occasions. They've been caught telling monumental, HUGE lies! These lies were so bold, one almost has to admire them for their audacity. Almost, that is. See what we mean below… 1. Ryan Lochte Ryan Lochte claimed he was held up and robbed at gunpoint during the Rio Olympics. He failed to mention that he actually vandalized a gas station bathroom and the person holding the gun was a security guard who was trying to control Lochte and his teammates. 2. Brian Williams Brian Williams was paid to deliver the news for NBC. But he delivered lies about his experience in Iraq when telling viewers in January of 2015 that a helicopter he was riding in many years earlier had been shot down. It hadn’t been. 3. Steve Rannazzisi Steve Rannazzisi claimed in 2009 that he narrowly escaped death while inside one of the Twin Towers on September 11, 2011. But… nope. He wasn’t there at all. 4. Bill Clinton Clinton once said he did not have sex with “that woman,” Monica Lewinsky, back when he was President and she was an intern. He later had to admit that his penis was in her mouth on more than one occasion. 5. Lance Armstrong Remember all those years that Armstrong spend VEHEMENTLY denying that he ever took performance enhancing drugs? He finally came clean and admitted to it all during an interview with Oprah. 6. Brandy In 2002, Brandy stunned fans when she announced she was pregnant … and had secretly gotten hitched to producer Robert Smith in 2001. The couple then starred on the reality show Brandy: Special Delivery, which tracked the birth of daughter Sy’rai in summer 2002. A year later, the couple announced its separation, but Smith waited another year to reveal that the two were never actually married; they faked it to protect the artist’s image. View Slideshow
Trump Trails In Polls Behind Clinton In Key States Trump aka “ Loose Lips ” may be in a bit of trouble if polls continue to trend this way. It looks like Clinton is leaping ahead of him according to polls in key battle ground states. Clinton leads in Colorado, North Carolina, Florida, Iowa and Ohio over Trump by as much as 9% according to ABC . Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has built up a significant lead in several crucial battleground states, according to new NBC/WSJ/Marist polling released today. Clinton has generated double-digit margins in Virginia and Colorado with 13-point and 14-point advantages over Trump, respectively. The poll also showed Clinton with leads over Trump in Florida and North Carolina. In the Sunshine State, Clinton has a 5-point edge among registered voters. In North Carolina, Clinton enjoys a 9-point advantage. Losses in these states could be devastating for Trump. The Republican nominee’s clearest path to the White House requires wins in Ohio and Florida, where Hillary Clinton has a slight lead, as well as North Carolina and Pennsylvania, where he trails by a broad nine percentage points. Anyone else let out a sigh of releif?

Donald Trumps Says Obama Founded ISIS Donald Trump’s campaign behavior just keeps getting worse and worse. The Republican candidate just accused President Obama of being the founder of ISIS and Hillary Clinton of cofounding the terrorist group during a campaign event in Florida. via ABC News “ISIS is honoring president Obama,” the Republican presidential nominee said during a rally at BB&T Center in Sunrise, Fla. “He is the founder of ISIS. He founded ISIS. And, I would say the co-founder would be crooked Hillary Clinton. Trump’s declaration was met with chants of “Lock her up!” from rally-goers. In addressing Obama, Trump included the president’s middle name, calling him Barack Hussein Obama — a move that’s typically been employed by those who claim Obama is secretly a Muslim. “Radical Islamic terrorism,” Trump said. “And people don’t like saying that. Our president refuses to use the term. Every time another event happens, I keep saying, I wonder if he’s gonna say it this time. And he doesn’t say it.” He also took aim at Clinton, for her refusal to use the term. “And Hillary won’t say it either,” he said. “She doesn’t wanna say it, cause she doesn’t wanna offend the president, because then bad things could happen to her if she offends the president. Bad things could happen to her. So she’s afraid to say it. Hillary’s afraid to say it. She did say that she would say it because of me, but she’s afraid to say it. But, we have a real problem with radical Islamic terror. It’s’ what it is. It’s terror.”
Lawyer Explains Why Trump’s Clinton Assassination “Joke” Is Actually Bullying When is Trump ever not in the news for offending someone? The gut of his whole campaign seems to be based on making outrageous assumptions and telling offensive “jokes”…but are they really jokes??? Earlier today he joked that people who are against Hillary Clinton’s candidacy could exercise their “second” amendment rights as an answer. Many were obviously offended at his suggestion of assassinating Clinton as a “joke”. And what about his other “jokes”? The racists jokes about Muslims in the U.S. and Mexicans? Or when he used the phrase “my African American” (Not a joke, but equally cringeworthy). Today a professor and lawyer from Dallas perfectly summed up Trump’s character in a series of tweets. The mini-dissertation blew the minds off Trump supporters, of course, making them double-back on their theory that Trump is a “straight shooter” (no pun intended) and “says it how it is’. So is he trying to get our former First Lady murked or nah? Jason P. Steed explains how damaging Trumps humor actually is. Is this real? Is #Trump now hinting at armed revolt if Clinton wins? #Trumpism https://t.co/riCb1jOixz — Jason P. Steed (@5thCircAppeals) August 9, 2016 Hit the flip for the rest. It gets good.
African-Americans Prefer Former KKK Leader David Duke Over Donald Trump If there was ever a stat that drew a striking distinction between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump , it’s this one that is being reported by TheWrap … You know it’s bad when a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan is polling higher with African-Americans than you are. In a recent poll conducted by the University of New Orleans’ Survey Research Center, ex-Grand Wizard David Duke got the support of 14 percent of black voters in his Louisiana race for a Senate seat. In three national polls released this week, Donald Trump averaged only 2.3 percent with black voters. He did slightly better in a recent Georgia poll, where the GOP nominee received the support of about 5 percent of African-American voters. That’s a big improvement from polls done before the conventions, where Trump famously scored zero percent of support from black voters in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Look at Donald Trump’s “2.3%” African-Americans. Just look at them. SMFH. Don’t boo, VOTE! Image via Splash/AP

The CEO Of The DNC Says They Tried To Get Beyoncé To Support Hillary Clinton At Convention Beyoncé has been a very vocal supporter of the Obama’s since their first run at office back in 2008. She has also been a very vocal supporter of women’s rights, empowerment and feminism. That said, it was a bit surprising that she didn’t show face at the Democratic National Convention this past week to support both the Obamas and Hillary Clinton in their mission to make her the very first woman president of these United States. However, that isn’t to say that Clinton and the DNC didn’t want request her presence. DNC CEO Rev. Leah Daughtry spoke to Refinery29 last month about the possibility of a Bey sighting: I heard you love Beyoncé. Any chance she’ll be joining us in Philadelphia? “I believe she’s in Sweden on the Formation tour, but we’re going to see what we can do to get her to fly over for the night or so. We’ll see!” From what we can tell, Beyoncé doesn’t seem to be a Trump supporter or an “undecided” as she was seen attending an L.A. Reid-hosted fundraiser for HRC back in May. Say you'll Bey on Team #Hillary2016 , too: http://t.co/X1Jyv1CdKw pic.twitter.com/qRVZCONXig — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) May 15, 2015 Maybe Bey is planning to publicly support Hillz now that she has been officially nominated. Will you be disappointed if Mrs. Carter is with Hillary, or will you follow her to the polls? Image via AP/Splash
