You Can’t Be Serious: Out Of Pocket Fox News Host Asks “Is Malia Obama Going To Go On Birth Control??”

SMH !!!! Fox News Anchor Asks If Malia Obama Will Go On Birth Control Via The Grio reports: In the wake of President Obama’s statement that he would support the selling of Plan B, a birth control product, to girls as young as 15, Fox News host Andrea Tantaros speculated about the sex life of the president’s 14-year-old daughter. “Are they gonna put her on birth control? Because he’s very concerned with contraceptives and pharmaceuticals that are going in the mouths of everybody else’s 15-year-old daughter,” she said, according to Media Matters. Tantaros also lashed out at the Obama administration: “They consider 15-year-olds to be women. They want to tell grown women what to do. They know how grown women feel. They have no idea how women feel. They should stop talking about it, because they have no clue.” This is not the first time that the president’s eldest daughter has become a political punching bag for the right. In just the first year of Obama’s presidency, Malia (then 11 years old) was subjected to crude and hateful insults after sporting a t-shirt with a peace sign on it during a trip to Europe. According to Mediaite, commenters on the right wing site Free Republic referred to her as “a typical street whore” among other epithets. In 2010, during the BP oil spill crisis, Glenn Beck mocked Malia for reportedly inquiring about the clean-up. “Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?” said Beck, in a voice that was meant to mock Malia. Ask “Daddy” why he “hates black people so much.” Its Fox News – why would anyone really expect decorum, integrity, ethics, and a sense of decency from Fox? True journalism, we ALL KNOW that’s not possible on Fox, not possible EVER!. Continue reading

Hoy En Mi Gente News: Sesame Street Gets New Spanish Speaking Character To Help Teach Los Niños!

The Latino takeover is in full effect. And like always, Sesame Street is embracing the changing face of America by encouraging kids to be open to other cultures and languages. Their latest cast member is a curly headed ‘Rican who Via NY Daily News reports : Children’s television series “Sesame Street” said on Friday it was adding a third Spanish-speaking character to its cast and will put a special focus on Hispanic heritage in its upcoming season, in an acknowledgement of changing U.S. demographics. Bilingual character Armando, who will be portrayed by 26-year-old Puerto Rico-born actor Ismael Cruz Cordova, will debut in September on the long-running series of people and puppets that airs on public broadcaster PBS. “Like his character ‘Mando,’ Ismael represents a culturally fluid and deeply layered new generation of Hispanic-Americans,” Carol-Lynn Parente, executive producer of “Sesame Street,” said in a statement. “He has a passion for creative expression and a warmth that comes right through the camera,” Parente added. “Sesame Street” previously added two bilingual Spanish-speaking actors and one bilingual puppet, Rosita. Puppet Ovejita, who only speaks Spanish, appears occasionally. The United States is on a path to becoming a “majority minority” nation as minority babies topped 50 percent for the first time in 2011, with Hispanics the largest and fastest-growing minority group. “Sesame Street,” which is entering its 44th season, is produced by the non-profit Sesame Workshop in New York. We caught a glimpse of Cruz on TV the other day and he definitely seems like a great addition to the show — the kids are gonna love him. So parents, say “Gracias” to Sesame Street!

House Of Hoes: NFL Ballers Chris Johnson And Brandon Marshall Busted For Running “Sex House” Dedicated To Cheating On Wives After Teen Girl Is Murdered

Dirty dog ballers are at it again! NFL Athletes Accused Of Running Affair House To Cheat On Wives Ex-NBA player Jalen Rose admitted to the steps most ballers take to cheating on their wives and girlfriends . Well, it looks like a couple of athletes have taken the dirty dog game a step farther. NFL players Mike Sims-Walker, Brandon Marshall and Chris Johnson admitted that they have a house they use to have affairs with women without their wives and the media finding out. Via Orlando Sentential reports: A house linked to the shooting of a 15-year-old girl in Pine Hills last year has ties to current and recent National Football League athletes, newly available records in the case obtained by the Orlando Sentinel show. One of the players, former University of Central Florida and Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Mike Sims-Walker, was directly involved in the investigation, records show, at one point entering an Orange County Sheriff’s Office interview room to talk with his cousin, a victim in the case who authorities suspected was lying. Prosecutors have described the home on Robbins Avenue as a nondescript setting where pro athletes could hang out and bring women while visiting Orlando — away from the view of the media. In her opening statement in the trial of Tyrone Mosby — the gang member charged with attempted murder in Danielle’s wounding — prosecutor Nicole Pegues described the Robbins Avenue home as a place NFL pros go “if they want to step out on their girlfriends and their wives … outside of anywhere else where media might catch them.” Gunfire erupted after a burglary there July 29, and a stray bullet struck Danielle Sampson as she rode in her parents’ minivan, rendering the Apopka High athlete severely brain-damaged. The football players were not suspected of any crime or involvement in the burglary or shooting. Indeed, video evidence shows Sims-Walker was helpful to the Sheriff’s Office.

Lawsuits: Vegas Club Owner Sues Engaged Couple Ci-ERROR And Future After The Lovebirds Skip Out On $50,000 Club Appearance

Wait… Ciara and Future are engaged?! Club Owner Sues Ciara And Future For Missing Club Appearance Recent reports claim Future did not show up to an appearance at Pulse, a Las Vegas nightclub, because he got into a fight with boo Ciara, and the club owners are pissed that he was a no-show considering they paid him. The club owner and booking manager for Pulse called into The Breakfast Club to give their side of the story while exposing that the lovebirds are engaged . Via MzStarz reports: This is how it all went down, allegedly Future and Ciara were beefing as their was some dispute about how they were getting to the event and what cars Ci Ci and Future would ride in. The company tried to appease the fickle celebs with a stretch limo and town car; however, they were not to their liking. Finally the club arranged for four SVU’s to retrieve Ciara, Future, and their entourage to shuttle them to the scheduled event, but the couple decided that they were going to skip it and dine at a nearby steakhouse. After that last act of disrespect, the club kicked Ciara and Future out of the rooms they booked for them on account that Future was scheduled to appear at the club. Getting kicked out of the hotel was obviously not part of Rocko, Future’s manager’s plans. He called into New York’s Power 105.1 to vent about the issue as he blamed Ciara. “I don’t give a d*mn about Ciara. I didn’t book Ciara,” Cliff Dutton, Pusle club Promoter told The Breakfast Club. The owner of Pulse, Kiki, is the one that said Ciara and Future are engaged: “I know he got engaged and he’s in love and all that, but when you gotta work, man up and get to work Future. You had a commitment to us. We had to call out 30 Metro officers to secure our building when we announced that he wasn’t going to show up.” Hit the flip for the full interview…

Mama Said Knock You Out! Floyd Mayweather Jr. Beats Robert Guerrero And Keeps Welterwelt Championship Belt

Congrats to the money team ! Floyd Mayweather Jr. Beats Robert Guerrero Via SI reports: The defense was back, just like it used to be. Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s dad was back, too, just like he used to be. And Mayweather was a winner once again – just like he always is. Mayweather fought as if he had never left the ring, coming back from a year’s absence Saturday night to win a unanimous 12-round decision over Robert Guerrero in their welterweight title fight. The game plan was defense, and Mayweather followed it perfectly. With his father directing from the corner after a 13-year absence, he dominated Guerrero in a performance not totally expected at the age of 36. “I needed my father tonight,” Mayweather said. “My defense was on point and he told me to stick with my defense and that the less you get hit the longer you last.” Mayweather was masterful at times, landing thudding right hands and bloodying Guerrero’s face in a performance that mimicked some of his best fights. Mayweather hurt Guerrero on several occasions, including a series of right hands near the end of the eighth round that buckled Guerrero’s knees. All three judges scored the bout 117-111. The Associated Press had it 119-109. “We did it again,” Mayweather said after earning at least $32 million for his night’s work. “I take my hat off to Robert Guerrero. He’s a true warrior.” If it wasn’t terribly pleasing to the crowd of 15,880, it was terribly effective. Mayweather made a fighter who hadn’t lost in eight years look befuddled as he danced and moved and shot out right hands with increasing frequency. He remained unbeaten in 44 fights and, more importantly, looked so fresh that he may follow through on his plan to fight again in September. “I was looking for the knockout but I hurt my hand,” Mayweather said. “I feel bad I didn’t give the fans the knockout.” Did you watch the fight?

Can He Pull It Off? Ursher Baby Preparing To Lose Major Weight To Play Sugar Ray Leonard In New Flick “Hands Of Stone”

Ush is trading in his lover persona, for a fighter’s paycheck, you buyin’?? Usher Losing 25 Pounds In Order To Play Sugar Ray Leonard In New Film Via HuffingtonPost Grammy-winning singer Usher believes his dancing skills will help him in his upcoming role as Sugar Ray Leonard in “Hands of Stone,” a new boxing film about the great brawler Roberto Duran. Usher said he has been preparing to play Leonard – a fighter with fast hands, smooth feet and a wide smile – for more than a year and still needs to lose nearly 25 pounds before shooting begins in October. The movie is based on Duran, a world champion in four weight divisions over a career that spanned five decades. Duran, whose nickname was “Hands of Stone,” rose from the slums of Panama to defeat an unbeaten Leonard in 1980 and claim the WBC welterweight title, only to lose the rematch several months later in the infamous “no mas” fight. Usher said he was honored to play Leonard in the film. “You couldn’t find a more stylized boxer than Sugar Ray Leonard,” Usher said by telephone. “He was an incredible motion guy, the way he moved around the ring, and I think my dancing will make it easier for me to pick up his moves. I’ve been working on familiarizing myself with the ring, sparring and just understanding how to move in the ring.” The role will mean dropping some weight. Usher said he’s currently about 172 pounds but will need to get down to about 150. Says the Atlanta pop star about his challenging role: “It’s an incredible story to be told,” he said. “The metaphor of determination and struggle is one we can all relate to.” “He had such incredible discipline, and he was flashy and classy at the same time,” said Usher, who’s been studying videos from Leonard’s boxing days. “I want to be as passionate and dedicated in preparing for this role as he was every time he stepped into the ring.” “I’m up for the challenge, and I’m looking forward to it,” he said. “I think my overall feeling is one of anticipation. It seems like this is a real passion project. It’s a film that everybody is so invested in, and I have the good fortune of having the character I’m playing still around.” This is no “In The Mix”, Usher will flex his acting chops alongside Robert De Niro and Edgar Ramirez, so he better be ready to pull his weight. You plan on copping tickets to see Ush float like a butterfly and sting like a bee? Images via tumblr Continue reading
