Source: Rick Kern / Getty Once again, Mr. Kanye West got a chance to explain his many comments that’ve sparked outrage over the last couple of months. On Thursday, he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live and the late-night host grilled Ye on everything from Donald Trump to fatherhood. When Trump was the topic, Kanye kept pushing the idea that it was less about Trump’s politics and more about overcoming fear to say how you really feel, no matter what people think. Ye also continued to preach his “love cures all” philosophy without getting into the nitty-gritty of how he feels about Trump’s actual policies and actions. At one point, Kimmel even brought up Kanye’s notorious statement saying George Bush didn’t care about Black people and he asked, “What makes you think that Donald Trump does?” Kanye went silent… Kanye West went silent when pressed by Jimmy Kimmel about his support for Trump. https://t.co/7n68aI7BQc pic.twitter.com/gjm7ENKWwQ — Red T Raccoon (@RedTRaccoon) August 10, 2018 Kanye also said that his views about women haven’t changed much since having a daughter because he still watches Pornhub. When the topic of mental health came up, Kanye said, “It’s important for us to have open conversations about mental health. We never had therapists in the Black community.” There was definitely a lot of statements to process and of course, Twitter was here to help push the conversation. Once again, Ye left people confused, angry or just plain fed up. But of course, Trump defended his bro bro… #KanyeWest is a good guy and close friend who was unfairly done in by a slimy Jimmy Kimmel Witch Hunt hit job. Classic liberal media.

Appearing on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 , the host asked the OG director if he would consider having a sit down with Donald Trump to which Lee simply answered, “No.” As the questions continued Lee kept it 1000 when he said “I don’t use his name either. Agent Orange.” Cooper then asked the BlacKkKlansman director if he considered Trump his president. Lee responded, “No. Might be Putin.” Just. Might. Be. This should come as no surprise as Spike Lee’s been one of Donald Trump’s most vocal critics since taking office and with the way Putin’s plant is running Amerikkka, we should expect more of the same from the Brooklyn filmmaker.

We may know who wins the final rose thanks to The Bachelorette spoilers , but nothing could’ve prepared us for this drama. Things have turned rather personal between Jean Blanc and Colton Underwood. Like, very, very, very, very, VERY personal. At this point, we should likely state that the rest of this post may not be safe for work or for young children… Both Blanc and Underwood competed on Season 14 of The Bachelorette, vying for the heart of star Becca Kufrin. Both advanced far enough and made enough of an impression with their personalities to have been featured last Monday night on the Men Tell All special. At one point on this special episode, Blanc was called to the sofa alongside Kufrin and placed on the hot seat by handsome host Chris Harrison. It didn’t take long for things to escalate from here, as ABC was forced to censor most of the back-and-forth between Blanc on the couch and Underwood from a spot in the crowd. Did Underwood really tell Blanc to “shut the f-ck up,” as it sounded like to those of us watching at home? Dod Blanc really respond by slamming Colton as a “pussy” and making a remark about his well-publicized virginity in the process? No, actually. Not according to Jean Blanc at least. “Colton called me [a pussy.] His negative energy was directed towards me, and it made me feel very uncomfortable,” the scorned suitor told Life & Style this week, adding: “On the show, I was shocked and disappointed by the vulgarity and level of aggression by Colton. He is desperate to become the next Bachelor and is doing everything he can to maintain relevancy. It’s sad.” The possibility of Underwood as The Bachelor isn’t far-fetched, that’s for sure. The series has never featured a virgin before and there’s no doubt such a unique trait would be marketable to the network. Added Jean Blanc in this interview: “The real version of what occurred was Colton attacking me, and me repeating what was uttered.” Underwood has spoken at length about his decision to not yet have slipped his penis inside of a woman’s vagina. But that’s exactly what it has been, he’s emphasized, a decision … until the right person comes along. Blanc, however, says something else. “Nothing I am saying is inaccurate,” Jean told the aforementioned tabloid, adding in juicy detail he swears to be true: “What was the reason he was a virgin?” “Because he is waiting for the right one? Colton told me he has a micropenis, I think that’s the reason why Colton is a virgin.” “Him attacking me is a reflection of his ‘insecurities’ like he said on the show and it’s disappointing to hear that.” Having a micropenis is a legitimate medical condition. It refers to a man possessing an unusually small penis, with the common criterion being a dorsal (measured on top) erect penile length of at least 2.5 standard deviations smaller than the mean human penis size and… … wait, WHAT?!? Blanc wants us to believe that Underwood willingly offered up this information to him? We may need to call BS on this claim. (Which we say with no judgment to any virgin or anyone with a micropenis. Respect all around. We simply do not believe what Jean Blanc is saying here.) In terms of his virginity, Colton has said the following on this Men Tell All Special: View Slideshow: The Bachelorette: 15 Shockers from The Men Tell All Special “I hope that at least I started a dialogue and I started a conversation in which they can understand what makes me, me… “I’m not here to prove a point. I’m not here to defend myself, I’m not here to say I’m better than anybody else… “What I am here to do is be true to who I am, and The Bachelorette has helped me do that… This has been so good for me and so therapeutic for me.” As for who WINS The Bachelorette?

Donald Trump is too short, too out of shape and possesses hands that are way to small to dunk a basketball. But the President of the United States nevertheless took some time out of his late Friday night to try and slam one home on… … LeBron James? Yes. The very stable genius, who thinks one needs an ID to purchase groceries , jumped on Twitter around midnight and Tweeted the following about the new Los Angeles Lakers star : Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike! There are many things to point out about this Tweet. For starters, Lemon interviewed LeBron on Monday night, meaning there are only one of two options here: Trump used TiVo to record the interview and watched it days later. Trump was simply watching CNN, the network he often claims “sucks” and is terrible and is full of “fake news,” when it re-aired the Q&A. Either would be a totally normal thing for the Commander-in-Chief to do, right? Secondly, LeBron James was interviewed by Lemon (along with other outlets) because he just opened a public school in Akron, Ohio. To reiterate: James donated millions and millions of dollars to the I Promise school, an institution for at-risk children in his hometown that will offer: – Free college tuition to the University of Arkon for all graduates. – All students a free uniform, free bicycle and free helmet. – Job assistance and GED training for the parents of all students. – A food pantry for families. – Free breakfast, lunch and snacks for all students. One could easily argue this is the most generous and impressive off-court gesture ever made by a professiona athlete. And THIS is the individual that President Trump has chosen to insult as unintelligent. We wonder why. Yes, James has referred to Trump as a “bum” on Twitter in the past and he also said in June that whichever team won the NBA title would turn down an invitation to visit the White House. But head NBA coaches Steve Kerr and Greg Popovich has been far more critical of Trump. The latter said in March that Trump is a liar and a hypocrite and that he brings out the “dark side of human beings for his own purpose.” Yet Trump has never uttered a negative word about Kerr or Popovich. We really do wonder why. What makes LeBron different from these two other men in his profession. Can anyone out there help explain it to us? In his CNN interview, James discussed the impact of sports and how it brings people together, contrasting this experience with the way Trump uses “sports to kinda divide us.” A great example of this would be Trump’s constant bashing of NFL players for being unpatrotic because they are protesting violence against African-Americans by taking a knee during the national anthem. “Sports has never been something that divides people,” James told Lemon. “It’s always been something that brings someone together.” A few months ago, LeBron expounded further on Trump’s self-centered and misguided attitude toward… everything and everyone. “He doesn’t understand the power that he has for being the leader of this beautiful country,” James said. “He doesn’t understand how many kids, no matter the race, look up to the president of the United States for guidance, for leadership, for words of encouragement. “He doesn’t understand that, and that’s what makes me more sick than anything, that we have someone that’s … this is the most, this is the No. 1 position in the world.” In his viral Tweet above, Trump said he likes Mike, very likely making a reference to Michael Jordan in the debate for who is the best basketball player of all-time. The world now waits to see if Jordan will chime in with his opinion of the President. It also now waits to see if Trump will get impeached for being a traitor.

If you need to do a whole bunch of shady, sleazebag stuff, you need a shady, sleazebag attorney to handle it. The only problem is that, well, your lawyer is a shady sleazebag. On Friday, the world learned that Michael Cohen had apparently recorded Donald Trump discussing payouts to cover up his alleged affair with a former Playboy model. Those recordings may be evidence that Trump violated campaign finance laws in the 2016 election. Being a woman who goes public with her story of having had sex with Donald Trump can get you stalked, harassed, and threatened. Recently, it even got Stormy Daniels arrested in a transparent sting operation that many believed was designed as part of a harassment campaign against her. In this case, we’re talking about former Playboy model Karen McDougal. It has now come to light that, just months before the 2016 election, Trump spoke to his attorney, Michael D Cohen, about payments made to McDougal to ensure her silence. According to The New York Times , Cohen recorded his conversation with Trump … and the F.B.I. now has those tapes. According to lawyers and others familiar with the tapes, the F.B.I. acquired these recordings earlier in the year. Remember their big raid on Michael Cohen’s office? That’s when they got their hands on them. The Justice Department is invesigating Cohen over payments to women in order to bury embarrassing stories about Trump during his Presidential campaign. If so, it is believed that this was a violation of campaign finance law. The Trump campaign has insisted that it had no knowledge of any such payments. Considering the amounts of money exchanged, some find this hard to believe. Karen McDougal says that her affair with Donald Trump spanned for nearly a year, beginning in 2006. It apparently began a short time after Trump’s current (and then, new) wife, Melania Trump, gave birth to his youngest child, Barron. During the final months of the 2016 Presidential campaign, McDougal sold her story for $150,000. Unfortunately, she sold it to The National Enquirer , a tabloid whose owner is friendly towards Trump. After purchasing her story, the tabloid declined to publish it. This is known as the “catch and kill” method for handling scandals. Rudy Giuliani took a break from claiming that porn stars are worthless as human beings to confirm to The New York Times that the recordings do include Trump and Cohen discussing these payments. He says that the recordings are about two minutes long. Giuliani claims that Trump did not know that he was being recorded … which is what most people had figured, anyway. However, Giuliani also claims that Trump did nothing wrong. He says that Trump was discussing a totally separate deal to buy McDougal’s story. Giuliani says that Trump considered buying McDougal’s story from the Enquirer, which would have effectively reimbursed the tabloid for buying McDougal’s unwitting silence, but that the payment was never made. Cohen is being intensely scrutinized under suspicion of a lot of things for his work on behalf of Donald Trump. Though he was a firm loyalist for Trump (and Sean Hannity, his other client), Cohen has recently been changing his tune, and said that he will put his family and country first. Some are skeptical, however, and think that if Cohen is really willing to put his country first, he should tell the Justice Department everything that he knows about Trump’s illegal dealings immediately. Others are unsure of his credibility, but are inclined to listen to evidence such an an audio recording. Some suggest that this revelation about Trump discussing payouts to McDougal might lead to his downfall. It might seem unimportant compared to Trump kissing Putin’s ass in what many consider to be an act of treason. But breaking election laws is still serious. It matters.

James Gunn has been fired as director of Guardians of the Galaxy 3. The decision to remove Gunn from the project arrived on Friday after conservative uncovered old tweets by Gunn in which the filmmaker joked about controversial topics such as pedophilia and rape. Gunn has been an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump over the past several months and, some believe, had been targeted by Republicans such as Jack Posobiec. But that doesn’t change the fact that Gunn did write the Tweets in question. “The offensive attitudes and statements discovered on James’ Twitter feed are indefensible and inconsistent with our studio’s values, and we have severed our business relationship with him,” Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn said in a statement announcing Gunn’s departure. Gunn directed Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and was hired awhile back to helm its follow-up. The very old Tweets at the center of this scandal have since been deleted, but Internet users posted screenshots that appear to show the director had written jokes about assault and other subjects. A sample: “Laughter is the best medicine. That’s why I laugh at people with AIDS.” Another: “The best thing about being raped is when you’re done being raped and it’s like ‘whew this feels great, not being raped!'” On Thursday, in response to this growing scandal, Gunn Tweeted: “Many people who have followed my career know, when I started, I viewed myself as a provocateur, making movies and telling jokes that were outrageous and taboo. “As I have discussed publicly many times, as I’ve developed as a person, so has my work and my humor.” He continued: “It’s not to say I’m better, but I am very, very different than I was a few years ago; today I try to root my work in love and connection and less in anger. “My days saying something just because it’s shocking and trying to get a reaction are over.” Most of the inappropriate messages were sent in 2008 and 2009. They were dug up by conservative outlet The Daily Caller. Gunn issued a statement on Friday afternoon, saying that he “regretted” the tweets in question and stressed that “they don’t reflect the person I am today.” The director added in his lengthy response to the flap: Regardless of how much time has passed, I understand and accept the business decisions taken today. Even these many years later, I take full responsibility for the way I conducted myself then. All I can do now, beyond offering my sincere and heartfelt regret, is to be the best human being I can be: accepting, understanding, committed to equality, and far more thoughtful about my public statements and my obligations to our public discourse. To everyone inside my industry and beyond, I again offer my deepest apologies. Love to all. Gunn has been penning the script for Guardians 3, and the film was expected to begin shooting in Atlanta in the fall for an expected 2020 release date. He had been keeping fans apprised of his progress via social media messages such as the following: Marvel has not yet announced a replacement for Gunn. Do you think he deserved to be fired for these Tweets?
