Ariana Grande’s Donut-Licking Cost Her A Major Opportunity

Continue reading here:

Ariana Grande‘s infamous donut-licking incident is still haunting her. In a recently revealed cache of leaked emails from the Democratic National Committee, reports say that the White House dismissed a scheduled performance from the pop singer due to the pastry fiasco. “On September 10, 2015, DNC Finance Chair Zachary Allen sent an email asking that Grande, […]

Ben Higgins Confirms Congressional Run in Colorado

Ben Higgins officially wants your vote. The former Bachelor contestant has made the political rumor into a reality, announcing today that he is running as a Republican in Colorado’s House District 4. This Denver State House district that is predominantly Democratic and Higgins will be facing off against Democratic Representative Dan Pabon, according to The Associated Press. Higgins is 28 years old. He’s best only known for having starred on the latest season of The Bachelor. We can’t guarantee that Higgins will keep any promises he makes on the campaign trail, but he has thus far kept his vow to marry Lauren Bushnell. The couple has somehow managed to keep its romance intact, several months after filming concluded. Some time later this year, Higgins and Bushnell will even star on the very first Bachelor spin-off to track the lives of a pairing that met on the series. Ben and Lauren: Happily Ever After will air on the Freeform network in the fall. View Slideshow: 13 Hottest Bachelors in ABC History “I am definitely not a politician, but I have a lot to offer through my years in the financial service industry and, more importantly, my work in charitable and humanitarian organizations,” Higgins said in a statement to The Denver Post yesterday. Higgins had previously said the following to Us Weekly: “People reach out to me about community development and planning and how to counsel places that need help, which is really cool because it isn’t something I necessarily had a platform on before, other than my service, and so through all of that the next question was post-Bachelor, this platform that I now had, what should we do with that? “And one of the first things that came to mind was I’ve always had a large interest in politics.” Higgins, of course, has no actual experience in politics. So this all seems pretty crazy, doesn’t it? Why would anyone vote a reality star into any kind of political office, right? There’s no way this will work… View Slideshow: 11 Stars Who Have Run for Political Office

Dirty Dame: Trump Staffer Admits To Cribbing Michelle Obama’s DNC Speech For Melania Trump

Donald Trump’s Staff Writer Admits To Plagiarizing Michelle Obama’s Speech Looks like the Trump campaign was feeling the pressure from the media in regards to the #BeckyWithTheBorrowedSpeech scandal. A member of The Donald’s writing staff has finally come forward to claim responsibility for the words that were cribbed from Michelle Obama’s speech and ended up coming out of the mouth of Melania Trump. Via DailyMail An employee at Donald Trump’s real estate company has come forward to say she inadvertently spliced portions of Michelle Obama’s 2008 Democratic National Convention speech into the address Melania Trump delivered Monday night. Mrs. Trump’s speech drew instant criticism when a half-dozen lines were found to be in common with Mrs. Obama’s from eight years ago. Meredith McIver, an in-house staff writer at the Trump Organization and former ballet dancer, released a statement Wednesday saying she wrote down portions of the Obama speech – with Mrs. Trump reading them to her over the phone – and included them later in the draft she presented to Melania. ‘I did not check Mrs. Obama’s speeches. This was my mistake, and I feel terrible for the chaos I have caused Melania and the Trumps, as well as to Mrs. Obama,’ she wrote. ‘No harm was meant.’ Good news is Melania's speech got more publicity than any in the history of politics especially if you believe that all press is good press! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 20, 2016 Wow, an admission of guilt from the Trump campaign. There must be a BIG AZZ snowman in Hell right now. The media is spending more time doing a forensic analysis of Melania's speech than the FBI spent on Hillary's emails. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 20, 2016 Not sure we’re buying the “Mr. Trump said people make mistakes…” spiel. Why do you think he didn’t fire this woman? Firing people is kinda his thing, right?

You With Her? Hillary Clinton Says Ignorant Whites Need To Start Listening To African-American Concerns

Hillary Clinton Says White People Need To Listen To Black Folks’ “Legitimate Cries” The tragic killings of black men at the hands of police officers this week is no doubt going to make fodder for politicians during this election year. The presidential hopeful is taking the opportunity to put her outrage on full display as she recently spoke to white folks about getting their mind right… Via HuffingtonPost Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said on Friday that white people must do more to understand the experiences that African-Americans have had with police officers. Speaking with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, Clinton made the remarks in response to questions about why she believes she’s more qualified than presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump to close the racial divide in America. “I will call for white people, like myself, to put ourselves in the shoes of those African-American families, who fear every time their children go somewhere, who have to have the talk about … how to really protect themselves, when they are the ones who should be expecting protection from encounters with the police,” Clinton said. “I’m going to be talking to white people. I think we are the ones who have to start listening to the legitimate cries that are coming from our African-American fellow citizens, and we have so much more to be done, and we have got to get about the business of doing it,” said Clinton. “We can’t be engaging in hateful rhetoric or incitement of violence. We need to bring people together.” SOUNDS good. But are you buying what Hillary is selling? Image via WENN

Chelsea Clinton Baby Photos: Released! Precious!

Democrats and Republicans may disagree on many issues, from gun control to taxes to abortion. But there’s one topic on which we’re confident the Left and the Right can find common ground, and that is this: BABIES ARE ADORABLE!!! Former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton gave birth to her second child  over the weekend, welcoming a son into the world alongside husband Marc Mezvinsky. And now Chelsea and Marc have given followers a look at their precious bundle of joy at just one day old. “At 7:41 AM Saturday, our family and hearts expanded with Aidan’s arrival,” Chelsea captioned a photo that depicted her and Mezvinsky looking down at their son. “We are blessed.” Later in the day, Chelsea’s famous mother, presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton shared her own image on Twitter. “What a joy being with our new grandson, Aidan,” the former Secretary of State penned as a caption to the  picture, which features here, Aidan and former President Bill Clinton. She added: “So grateful.” Finally, never one to be outdone, Bill Clinton also got into the baby photo spirit. “Aidan has made two dads very happy this Father’s Day. Hillary and I are thrilled for Marc and Chelsea!” Bill wrote about the following photo: Chelsea and Mezvinsky, an investment banker, are already parents to daughter Charlotte, 20 months. Politics aside, this is a special moment for any family, one recognized by Donald Trump on Twitter when he stopped warning of future terrorist attacks and bragging about Twitter followers in order to congratulate the family of his Democratic rival. Just kidding. He didn’t do that. View Slideshow: Celebrity Baby Photos: So Adorable!
