It’s difficult to get Republicans and Democrats to agree on anything these days. But unhappy students across the country have banded together to Tweet pictures of their unappetizing cafeteria food, blaming the First Lady for such disgustingly healthy fare. The Thanksgiving-themed lunches seen here must comply with the food regulations implemented by the USDA (a limit on calories, fat, sugar and sodium) and supported by Michelle Obama, who has taken on the sweeping issue of childhood obesity. Hence the hashtag “#ThanksMichelleObama” that accompanies these complaints/photos. Students Say #ThanksMichelleObama for Gross-Looking Lunch 1. Mystery Meat… … and an apple! In July, Obama vowed to “fight until the bitter end to make sure that every kid in this country continues to have the best nutrition that they can have.” She didn’t direct folks to healthy recipes on Food Fanatic for some reason, but she did get behind an initiative to change the ingredients used in cafeterias around the nation. Still, we wonder whether or not Obama realized she’d be fighting the kids themselves.
While their reps insist that Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are still together, new reports suggest that they are barely on speaking terms and headed for a split. It’s hard to know what to believe this point, given the unreliability of most “sources” online, and the fact that “still together” doesn’t really tell us a whole lot either. According to a new report, however, she’s filled out divorce papers and is considering pulling the trigger on the long-rumored split, at the urging of friends. This comes on the heels of Dean McDermott quitting their reality show True Tori and basically admitting he’s disgusted by the charade that is their life. If he’s quitting True Tori, is that any different than quitting Tori Spelling? In case he wasn’t clear enough on that, he reportedly told her the kids are done filming the Lifetime series along with him in his latest maudlin ultimatum. So … where does that leave the reeling actress? Planting stories in Life & Style , it would appear. “She’s been pushed by some of her closest friends to end the marriage and is finally seeing that as a real option,” says an alleged source, out of nowhere. Uh oh. Dean McDermott’s obligatory rebuttal? Watch True Tori Season 2 Episode 5 Online Conveniently, he’s also reportedly said that Tori Spelling has become an “unfit mother” and shouldn’t be the one to get custody of their kids IF they split up. Nice to see him using children as pawns. Really, if you watch True Tori online , it’s hard to find sympathy with either one of these people, although it’s clear Dean wants out and it’s hard to blame him. Yes, he used to self-complete to Tori on 90210 , then banged Tori while married to his first wife, then banged Emily Goodhand when married to Tori. He’s a depressed, probable alcoholic and uselessly narcissistic individual. At the same time, he’s trapped in a marriage with Tori Spelling. It’s gotta hurt. Being exploited for ratings and jerked around left and right, regardless of his own problems and contributions to this malaise, is enough to drive a man insane. Who do you think will leave who, and when? Or will they somehow find a way to keep this nonsense going for the sake of their kids and/or bank accounts?

Iggy Azalea is no stranger to feuds. The Iggy-Snoop Dogg beef made headlines last month, with the Aussie raptress eventually “winning” by forcing an apology from the Doggfather. Prior to that, Iggy feuded with Nicki Minaj , and while the First Ladies of Hip Hop have occasionally shown love to one another in public, sources say that situation is unlikely to ever be resolved. Considering how man beefs she’s been involved with, you may think that Iggy intentionally seeks out drama, when in reality, she seems to simply be a favorite target for A-list emcees. Her latest public throwdown is no different, as Iggy finds herself in the position of responding to some shocking comments from a hip hop icon: Eminem seems to be using controversy to promote his new mixtape, Shady XV. Last week, Em rapped about punching Lana Del Rey during a freestyle, and this week he’s set his sights on Iggy-Ig. A recently released track on Shady XV contains the following lyrics: “So what’s it gonna be? / Put that sh-t away, Iggy / You gonna blow a rape whistle on me?” Eminem’s supporters have pointed out that he’s made a career out of targeting potentially offensive threats and insults toward other artists through his Slim Shady persona. Many feel, however, that this time Em has simply gone too far, and his critics have pointed out that the sort of lyrics that may have gone unnoticed in 1999 are simply not acceptable in 2014 – particularly now that Mr. Mathers is 42 and has a daughter in college. Iggy brought up the topic of Em’s age (and the fact that he remains an influential Rap God to many young men) when she responded to his controversial verse on Twitter: “I’m bored of old men threatening young women as entertainment trend,” Iggy tweeted. “It’s especially awkward because my 14 year old brother is the biggest Eminem fan and now the artist he admired says he wants to rape me. Nice!” Of course, the grand hip hop tradition requires that artists settle their differences in song form, and the fact that I-G-G-Y has never written a response track (despite her many feuds) is seen by many as further evidence that Iggy doesn’t write her own rhymes . But that’s a conversation for another time… 18 Celebrity Feuds We Never Saw Coming 1. Katy Perry vs. Taylor Swift Taylor Swift wrote a song titled “Bad Blood” about an enemy in the music business. We’re pretty sure the subject was Katy Perry.

Jacob, a Protestant leader, likes what he heard about Francis sending a letter to the Pope to call back his men, and wants Conde to appeal to the King. Will his prayers fall upon deaf ears? As you know if you watch Reign online , these things are complicated and forever intertwined with other questions. Follow the above link to see the installment for yourself, and prepare for many twists and turns along the way as the CW drama winds down its midseason run.
According to Donald Sutherland, Jennifer Lawrence is akin to Jesus Christ . That’s mighty high praise for the star of The Hunger Games franchise. But is The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 worthy of the same praise? What are critics around the country saying about this wildly anticipated blockbuster? Let’s find out… The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Photos 1. Julianne Moore as President Coin This is our first look at Julianne Moore in Mockingjay. It’s safe to say we’re excited for the film. Mockingjay – Part 1, however well done, can’t compete with the first two films, although it sets up what should be its stunning ending well enough. – Tom Long If Mockingjay – Part 1 is quieter and less flashy than its predecessors, that doesn’t make it less satisfying. – Steven Rea Lawrence delivers on what dramatic beats half a novel affords him. You just wish there were more of them and that they provided a more complete, more satisfying story arc. – Kenneth Turan Katniss’ concern for the anti-sexy Peeta results in her spending quite a bit of the movie in po-faced mopery. – Kurt Loder Mockingjay – Part 1 is just big enough of a story that, even as a two-parter, the film feels substantial and justifiably halved. There’s simply too much to digest as all the pieces are put into place and the real games are set to begin. – Kirk Baird This is the “Empire Strikes Back” of the series, with the heroes constantly on defense – running, hiding, planning, hoping. – Rob Thomas Jennifer Lawrence is as good as always and gets a few key scenes to play up the emotional aspect of what’s occurring. – Jim Judy Mockingjay Rebellion Posters 1. Gale Mockingjay Poster Liam Hemsworth is back for more Hunger Games. He poses here on behalf of Mockingjay.
Billy Gilman became the second country singer today to come out as gay. A few hours after Ty Herndon made this admission to People Magazine, Gilman opened up in a movie video he posted online. Billy Gilman Comes Out as Gay “It’s difficult for me to make this video, not because I’m ashamed of being a gay male artist or a gay artist or a gay person. But it’s pretty silly to know that I’m ashamed of doing this knowing that because I’m in an genre and industry that is ashamed of me for being me,” Gilman says in the above footage. In 2000, at the age of 11, Gilman became the youngest artist to land a Top 40 song on the country music charts with his first single, “One Voice.” His debut album of the same name was certified double platinum in the United States soon afterward. Gilman’s next two albums were also certified gold. “I’ve been an advocate for so many things in my life that I thought why not now be an advocate for me and the cause that I believe in with my whole heart,” Gilman says. 31 Celebrities Who Are Out and Proud 1. Ellen Page Ellen Page made a major announcement in early 2014: She’s gay. We applaud her for it.
