Ben Carson May Run As Independent If GOP Refuses To Have A Fair Presidential Nomination Ben Carson might decide to go for dolo to become the POTUS… According to the Huffington Post U.S. Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson may consider an independent bid for the White House, angry over a report on Republican Party maneuvering involving this summer’s national nominating convention, U.S. media reported on Friday. Carson was angry over a Washington Post report that Republican leaders were preparing for a brokered convention to pick their 2016 White House candidate. “If it is correct, every voter who is standing for change must know they are being betrayed. I won’t stand for it,” Carson said in statement, Politico and CNN reported. If the report was accurate, he said, “I assure you Donald Trump won’t be the only one leaving the party.” Be gone then, sucka. Ain’t nobody gonna vote for him any damn way. Image via Channel 4
Somalian Man Angry His 12-Year-Old Was Asked If Her Backpack Had A Bomb SMH. This is so racist it makes our skin crawl. A Somalian eight grader was questioned by a teacher at Shiloh Middle School in Gwinnett County whether she was carrying a bomb in her backpack. According to AJC reports : Abdirazik Aden, who was born in Somalia, said that on Monday, his 12-year-old daughter was going to class when a teacher stopped her and asked what she had in her bookbag. He said his daughter told her books. The unidentified teacher responded by asking, her if she had a bomb in her bag? “My daughter wanted to know why she was asking her that,” he said. He said his daughter was upset when she called to tell him about the incident. He went to the school to see what happened and was told by an assistant principal that it was a mistake. “I was upset,” said Aden, who lives in Snellville and works as a truck driver and grocery store owner. “I was going to take my daughter out (of that school) “We are from Africa, we are Muslims, we live in America,” he said. “I didn’t teach my children to hate people or to think they are better than other people. I don’t want nobody to treat them like that.” We don’t blame him for being pissed. What would you do if it was your kid? Would you demand she be switched into a new class or a new school? Would you sue??? Here’s the school’s side of the story: Sloan Roach, spokeswoman, for Gwinnett County Public Schools, confirmed the incident happened. “The remark was not appropriate, but based on their conversation and investigation,” school officials don’t believe it was made with “ill intent,” Roach said. She said it was a regular teacher, not a substitute, who made the remark. The teacher was trying to get the students to put away their backpacks quickly and made the remark to the student that was basically, what do you have in there, a bomb? The school’s principal, Eli Welch, conducted an investigation and spoke with the teacher and the parent. At least they admit the remark was inappropriate. SMH. Flickr
Will Smith Wants To Run For Political Office In The “Near Future” It’s possible Kanye West may have some serious competition when he runs for president in 2020 because Will Smith’s looking to join him in the political arena. During a recent chat with The Hollywood Reporter podcast, Big Willie revealed he has dreams to take his talents to Washington, DC because the political climate is so sh*tty, it literally keeps him up night. VIa The Hollywood Reporter : “America’s the only place on Earth that I could exist. No other country on Earth produces Will Smiths, you know?” He adds, “If you look back historically, of how black people have had it on the planet, America is elevating quite well, based on the history of our people.” That is not to say Smith is content with the state of affairs in America right now — in fact, he’s far from it. He catches me off-guard with his next declaration: “I’m a climber, so if I see a mountain, I have to climb it. I’m not a camper; I don’t like hanging in one place too long. So I think, at this point, I’m elevating my ability to be useful in the world. I think that that’s what my grandmother always hoped, that I would make myself useful to people in this lifetime. I’m working really hard and my storytelling is elevating, my ability to be eloquent with my body and with my voice and to deliver ideas as an actor is elevating. And, you know, as I look at the political landscape, I think that there might be a future out there for me. They might need me out there. This is the first year that I’ve been incensed to a level that I can’t sleep, you know? So I’m feeling that at some point, in the near future, I will have to lend my voice to the conversation in a somewhat different way.” We wonder if holding any type of political office will be more “excruciating” than being married to Jada . Would you vote for Will? WENN
If you watch Game of Thrones online , but you’ve never read the George R.R. Martin novels on which the show is based, you might be pretty sick of book-readers ruining the plot twists the way Ramsay Bolton ruined Theon Greyjoy’s love life. Fortunately, we have good news for bibliophobes and fans of dong-related humor, alike. A page from the GoT Season 6 has leaked online, and now you can be in command of all the spoilers (and dick jokes) by doing about one one-billionth of the reading. The image on the left was posted on social media by a French actor named Elie Haddad, who’s playing an undisclosed role in the upcoming season. The original tweet was quickly deleted, but since this is the Internet and GoT we’re talking about, fans immediately began zooming in on the pic to try and decipher the text. While it doesn’t reveal the fate of Jon Snow or anything major like that, it does fill us in on where the Khaleesi wound up after being surrounded by Dothraki raiders in the season 5 finale. And as is pretty much always the case with GoT, there’s some peen talk, as well. According to our generation’s sharpest minds, the full text of the conversation (between two random Dothraki) is as follows: “I like her.” “She’s paler than milk.” “I bet she gets nice and pink when you pinch her.” “I’d like to know what a Khaleesi tastes like.” “Good. You can suck my dick.” And then, presumably, someone gets all pissed off and disembowels someone else, and a set of boobs wanders into the shot. Like we said, it doesn’t reveal much, but it does seem to confirm that Dany was captured by the Dothraki in one of the final scenes of Game of Thrones Season 5 Episode 10 . Will they recognize her as the widow of Khal Drogo? Will she be able to recruit them to join her ever-growing army of disgruntled badasses? Will there be more wang-based dialogue? The answers are: we don’t know, we don’t know, and most definitely.
It seems pretty clear at this point that Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are a thing. What kind of thing? That much may be unclear, but Stefani didn’t deny rumors that she’s dating the country artist in a recent interview… and the two got their major flirt on during a Halloween party over the weekend. How does Miranda Lambert feel about this? Considering she was married to Shelton for four years until this summer? It sounds like she’s putting on a brave face, according to E! News. “Miranda is at a point in her life where she is really focusing on herself and her music. This is a new chapter for her to create new relationships and really move on,” an insider says. “Miranda has been going through many personal changes over the past few months, but it’s all for the better.” View Slideshow: 25 Most Shocking Hollywood Divorces Still… Lambert has clearly heard rumors about her ex-husband and his fellow panelist on The Voice. “She was not surprised to hear of the romance between Blake and Gwen. They were always pretty flirty,” the source claims. “Miranda and Blake were on the rocks on and off and knew that this could always be a possibility.” Shelton and Lambert have stated numerous times that there’s no bad blood between them, though that assertion may be tested when both attend the CMA Awards in Nashville tonight. “Blake is just a flirty kind of charmer,” the E! source concludes. “She has nothing against Gwen and thinks she is a very talented artist. Whomever Blake is with she wishes them the best.” Wow. Either this source is lying. Or Blaek Shelton and Miranda Lambert just had the most amicable divorce in recorded history.

The drama surrounding The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Vicki Gunvalson and Brooks Ayers is never ending. Vicki and Brooks split in August of this year, but the pair continues to make headlines as critics slam Ayers' alleged cancer diagnosis. Though she vehemently defended Brooks on the last season of RHOOC, Vicki Gunvalson finally admitted on the reunion special that she had a hunch Brooks was lying about his cancer diagnosis. As a result, Heather Dubrow doesn’t want to film with Vicki next season. And neither do any of the other ladies. Now, in the midst of the conversation, Brooks wants to be heard. He sat down with E! News’ Melanie Bromley to confront the naysayers who have doubted and criticized his cancer diagnosis. “These are the three bills that reference the days I got my treatment,” he told E! News while sharing that one chemo treatment cost $33,000. He added, ”I'm not going to say I'm in remission. That's not going to be the case until my numbers have normalized and that's the word that was used to me.” Though it is unclear if Vicki will return to the show now that no one will film with her, we bet this will still be the highlight of next season.
