Making It Rain On Them College Hoes: General Petraeus, Former CIA Director And Notorious Cheat, To Earn $150K Teaching 2 Classes At CUNY!

We bet this dirty dog will be teaching them co-eds a thing or two… Via NYDailyNews reports : City university will pay $150,000 to former CIA Director David Petraeus to teach two classes in the next school year, a CUNY official said Monday. The salary is substantially higher than most visiting professors, but it will be covered through private fund-raising, not taxpayer dollars, CUNY spokesman Michael Arena said. Petraeus, who resigned from the CIA last year after admitting an affair with his biographer, will be a visiting public policy professor at CUNY’s Macaulay Honors College. CUNY announced the appointment in April but did not disclose his salary, which was reported by Gawker.com. “He’s teaching two courses . . . and giving some public lectures,” Arena said. Before leading the CIA, Petraeus was a four-star general who commanded the coalition forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. SMH. Must be nice. Had it been a black man — nevermind. Just sayin’ though.

Random Ridiculousness: Woman Forced To Have Her Kitty Kat Examined To Prove She’s A Woman After Birth Certificate Mistakenly Labels Her A Man

This is just…phucked up. Woman Forced To Prove She’s Not A Man According to Mail Online A Georgia mother was asked to prove that she was a woman when she noticed that her birth certificate mistakenly identified her as a man. Nakia Grimes got a copy of her birth certificate when she was going through the process of getting her driver’s license renewed. She had never noticed, however, that the birth certificate had an X next to the male identifier. ‘You only look at the name, the date, and the year, and the month. You just really never look at the additional signatures and I’d never seen that,’ Ms Grimes told MyFoxAtlanta. ‘When I went to retrieve my birth certificate, I let them know that the gender portion was wrong. I’m a woman, I was born a woman.’ From there, the typo turned into an offensive proposition when a state worker told Ms Grimes that in order to have it changed, she would have to have a pap smear to prove she was actually a woman. Ms Grimes, who is turning 37 next week, was outraged and found the prospect of having to have her doctor examine her to determine her gender to be a humiliating one. The incident was reported to Vital Records Services, and the director said that there was no need for a pap smear. The unnamed director said that the order had not been part of standard protocol. Instead, they were able to cross-check Ms Grimes’ gender by looking at her son Zion’s birth certificate, where she is legally listed as the birth mother. If she was white would they make her go through this? Continue reading

Deuces: Rob Pattinson And His Trampire Boo Thang Kristen Stewart Call It Quits …Again

Kristen and Rob will get back together, it’s just a matter of time. Kristen Stewart And Rob Pattinson Break Up Again According to US Magazine Brace yourselves, Twihards: After four very eventful years together, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are taking a much-needed break, a source close to Pattinson, 27, tells Us Weekly. Additional Pattinson insiders add that the British actor and Stewart, 23, have been “having problems” and “fighting a lot,” with things coming to a head on Pattinson’s 27th birthday May 13. Still, the first source adds that the much-scrutinized romance could go either way, and that a reconciliation is certainly possible. Just one week before the bitter birthday argument that led to the current split, in fact, the twosome were happily affectionate at NYC’s Cabin, where Pattinson met Stewart following her solo appearance at the Met Gala. Former child star Stewart met the British actor when they were cast opposite one another in 2008′s Twilight, the first of five blockbuster films based on Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling vampire book series. As the movie phenomenon exploded over the years, the twosome very, very slowly went public with their romance. The relationship was put to the ultimate test last July, when Stewart was photographed making out in a public park with Rupert Sanders, her married Snow White and the Huntsman director, in shocking exclusive photos revealed by Us Weekly. Quickly after Us broke the story, Stewart made her most public display of affection ever in a public apology. “I’m deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I’ve caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected,” she said July 25. “This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I’m so sorry.” (Sanders and wife Liberty Ross, meanwhile, are already done: The British model, who shares two young kids with the director, filed divorce papers in January.) The pair reconciled by fall 2012, and jointly promoted Breaking Dawn: Part 2 together. They even appeared to survive several months thousands of miles apart as Pattinson filmed The Rover in Australia in early 2013. Reps could not be reached for comment. If only these two could live happily ever after like their Twilight characters. Getty Continue reading
