The most powerful typhoon of 2013 made landfall early today in central Philippines, resulting in a myriad of landslides, knocking out power and, as of this writing, killing at least four people. Typhoon Haiyan started east in Samar and made its way west toward Panay around 4 a.m. EST. Super Typhoon Blasts the Philippines Over 720,000 people have evacuated their homes in the wake of 125 mile-per-hour winds, with updates coming slowly due to a lack of power in the area. But we know that at least one individual died via fallen tree, one was struck by lightning and two have been electrocuted as a result of the storm. Southern Leyte Gov. Roger Mercado told reporters that the storm triggered landslides which have blocked roads, uprooted trees and torn roofs off homes in the region. “When you’re faced with such a scenario, you can only pray, and pray and pray,” Mercado told The Associated Press by telephone amid the crisis. “My worst fear is there will be massive loss of lives and property.” A typhoon of similar strength hit the Philippines in 1990 and killed 508 people overall. But authorities hope that early warnings and evacuations will result in far fewer casualties this time around. We hope the same and we send our thoughts to everyone affected by the storm.

Cornel West has a very civilized way of cursing people out Cornel West Rips Republicans Who Want To Cut Food Stamps Via RawStory Civil rights activist and Princeton University professor Cornel West laid out the case for the country’s continued income disparity to conservative pundit William Kristol on CNN’s Crossfire Monday night. “We black folk, we have been some of the most open-minded, forgiving and embracing people in the nation,” West told host S.E. Cupp. “We’ve got Clarence Thomases within our community. It’s not like we gotta go somewhere else to have conservatives. But the issue is this: Why are the Republicans cutting food stamps? That’s morally obscene and spiritually profane. Four million poor people may be pushed into poverty.” “How much have food stamps gone up in the last four years?” Kristol interjected. “They’ve doubled.” “They’ve gone up — you know why?” West countered. “Because this crisis of capitalism. Their wages have been stagnant.” “Who’s been president the past four years?” Kristol said with a smirk. “I thought the economy was roaring back under President Obama.” “This is where neo-liberalism goes hand-in hand with your neo-conservatism,” West argued. “Privatize, militarize, support big banks and big corporations. The result is what? Working-class devastated, middle-class downward mobility, escalation of poverty. So yes, you’re right: We’ve got a lot of food stamps increasing because of what? People are suffering. But then you’re gonna cut the food stamps?” Can’t argue with his logic. Image via WENN

Geraldo Rivera’s infamous selfie was the reason Duquesne University canceled his upcoming college speaking engagement, the Fox News host says. He was set to visit the Pittsburgh college for the 50th anniversary of JFK’s assassination, he tweeted, but that pic of Geraldo Rivera nude nixed the gig. The selfie of Rivera shirtless in front of a mirror with a towel around his waist created an uproar when he tweeted it in July. Duquesne took notice. In a statement to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette , the university said that the photo was “inappropriate and inconsistent” with the Catholic school’s values. Spokesperson Bridget Fare told the newspaper: “We warn our students not to put anything inappropriate on social media because of potential consequences — you could consider this teaching by example.” The decision did not sit well with Geraldo at all. Rivera sounded off on Duquesne , saying that not only was he willing to speak at the school unpaid, he was informed about the cancelation by a third party. A stranger at a hotel bar introduced himself as a panelist at the upcoming event, then broke the news to Geraldo that he’d gotten the chop. Rough.

Forget Waldo. Khloe Kardashian is playing a far less enjoyable game these days: Where’s Lamar Odom? Following the basketball player’s arrest on suspicion of DUI last Friday morning, Khloe reportedly issued her husband an ultimatum: get help or get out . And, according to a new report, Odom has chosen to get out. Way, way out. The estranged couple spoke for a few hours Saturday morning, insiders tell TMZ, but Kardashian sent him on his way, and has heard nothing from him since. She is “totally in the dark” about Odom’s activities over the past few days, one source explains, saying the future of this marriage is growing bleaker each day. But it’s the future of Lamar’s well-being that has most people concerned. Even his alleged drug dealer has even spoken out and expressed grave worry over the athlete’s worsening reliance on substances such as cocaine. Despite the fact that Khloe is not made of steel , she is not letting her crumbling relationship prevent her from having a bit of fun with friends. The reality star attended Katy Perry’s Labor Day party yesterday, posting the photo above on Instagram and, yes, wearing her wedding ring. Get a look at Kardashian at the shindig via the following video: Khloe Kardashian Parties with Katy Perry

Michael Douglas is still sporting his wedding ring, and it’s not just symbolic, he says. He wants everyone to know he is still married to Catherine Zeta-Jones. The star responded to recent reports about his separation from Zeta-Jones by saying “there is no crisis” and they “are fine” despite a “temporary separation.” Michael Douglas: Marriage Not in Crisis Douglas was in Berlin for the premiere of his movie Behind the Candelabra, when a reporter asked him why he was still wearing a ring on his wedding finger. His simple response? “I’m married.” Just last week, the couple’s reps said they were separating after 13 years. Conflicting reports aside, it looks like Douglas isn’t ready to throw in the towel. It’s not clear why the duo, who are parents of two children, decided to separate, but rumors have centered around the couple’s dueling health problems. Douglas’ throat cancer – and his claim that he got HPV from oral sex – and Catherine’s struggle with bipolar disorder have made headlines in recent years. Here’s hoping they can work it out!

Lamar, you make too much money to be sniffin’ yayo. Lamar Odom Allegedly Has Drug Problem Khloe needs to drop Lamar like a bad habit…sniffin’ that yayo is something serious and misery loves company. According to TMZ Lamar Odom has been deep into yayo for at least 2 years … TMZ has learned. TMZ broke the story … Lamar has gone off the rails with drug use … which is the principal cause of the crisis in his marriage to Khloe Kardashian. As we reported Lamar went to a rehab facility a year ago this month and stayed for 3 weeks before bailing — and we’re told the problem was yayo. Sources say Lamar’s yayo use was extreme before he went to rehab, but he cleaned up his act during the basketball season that just ended. Sources say shortly after he hung up his jersey, he started again with a bang. As we reported … Khloe threw Lamar out of the house a few days ago after he rejected an attempt at an intervention. It’s unclear how Lamar’s problem will affect his basketball career. We made calls to Lamar’s reps. So far, no comment. Lamar will never get better until he wants to get better. Poor Khloe.
