We Can All Stop With The 10 Year Challenge Now Because Mariah Carey Won

Source: Barcroft Media / Getty Mariah Carey always has a way of making things her own and completely disregarding what everyone else is doing–so it’s no surprise Mimi took that same approach when it came to the 10 year challenge. If you’re not already familiar with the 10 year challenge…consider yourself lucky. But chances are, you’ve seen almost all of your friends on social media posting pictures of themselves from 2009 side-by-side with a picture of them today, in 2019. There’s a lot of questions that stemmed from everyone randomly starting this 10 year challenge. Why not wait until 2020 so this challenge could be a million times more satisfying? Is this all just a ploy from the government (or Facebook) to train facial recognition technology on aging? Where do all of these challenges even come from and why do we do them? The answer to most of those questions is still unknown, but unlike the rest of us, Mariah Carey decided not to conform to this possible government ploy–and she made that fact known in the most Mariah way possible. Earlier this week, Ms. Carey posted a side-by-side photo much like those that the rest of the internet has been posting these past couple of weeks. But in the name of being original, the two photos that she edited–well, let’s be real, Mariah definitely doesn’t edit her own photos–are the exact same picture. I don't get this 10 year challenge, time is not something I acknowledge. *Picture taken at some point prior to today pic.twitter.com/f5XUye3Hot — Mariah Carey (@MariahCarey) January 16, 2019 Mariah Carey is not anything like any of us. She doesn’t understand the 10 year challenge, so she doesn’t stick to the rules. The icon wrote, “I don’t get this 10 year challenge, time is not something I acknowledge *Picture taken at some point prior to today” and now everyone needs to stop posting their 10 year challenges IMMEDIATELY. “Time is not something I acknowledge” just might be the most iconic quote of 2019 and it’s not even February yet. It’s literally the most perfect excuse for anything and everything, and the people of Twitter are already having a field day with it. Take a look at some of the funniest, realest, and most ridiculous reactions to Mariah’s incredible 10 year challenge. “Time is not something I acknowledge” is the only sentence I care about today https://t.co/WvOUyWqkv2 — Hadley Freeman (@HadleyFreeman) January 17, 2019 If your credit card company doesn’t accept Mariah’s quote as an excuse, you need a new credit card. My Credit Card Company: Uhm, hello, you haven't paid a bill in a year…? Me: Time is not something I acknowledge https://t.co/yliYDHLxK7 — Cassie Surprise (@chasspod) January 16, 2019 Mariah knows all about pretending not to know somebody, no matter how much time has passed between their feud.

R. Kelly Hires Same "Fixers" Used by Bill Cosby to Silence Accusers

A normal person would not want their name associated with Bill Cosby. Not in 2019. R. Kelly is, by every conceivable metric, not a normal person. The disgraced R&B singer is  under criminal investigation , and he’s turning to Cosby’s “fixers” to keep him out of jail. RadarOnline  reports that R. Kelly has hired the same team of “fixers” that Bill Cosby had allegedly used to try to silence his own enemies. These would be professionals in a number of fields who might understand how to persuade multiple accusers to go silent or even recant. “They’re ready to do just about anything to get him off the hook,” the insider characterizes. The source continues, noting that these professionals intend to succeed “even if it means using fear tactics.” We’re not sure what  fear tactics  means in this context. But it could mean intimidation, routine harassment, surveillance, or even blackmail of current or potential witnesses. The disgraced 52-year-old R&B singer is said to have reached out to these “fixers” after the  harrowing documentary  aired. Surviving R. Kelly  paints a terrifying portrait of what it is like to be a victim of R. Kelly’s alleged sexual predation and his violent sex cult. Everyone is talking about it, and the public interest and public pressure have pushed law enforcement to investigate the creep. This has backed R. Kely into a corner more than any past efforts have managed. R. Kelly has reportedly vowed to “sue everybody” involved with the Lifetime docuseries, clearly hoping to silence his critics. Kelly was willing to do so much more than just threaten legal actions. As  TMZ  reported,  Kelly planned to leak the sex tapes  of the survivors who spoke out against him. A team reportedly working for him launched a website, ironically named  survivinglies . That is clear retaliation and sounds like revenge porn, which is illegal for good reason. The singer’s attorneys stepped in and closed down the site. “They were afraid of lawsuits,” the insider explains. The source continues: “especially after they learned the team planned to use it to feature a revenge-porn video.” This video, the insider says, would have been “featuring one of his victims consenting to sex.” R. Kelly has been accused of having used grooming, violence, starvation, and psychological manipulation to keep multiple women obedient and afraid. A video of a woman giving some sort of verbal consent would not have disproved any accusations. Instead, the tactic would have discouraged other women from coming forward for fear of having their own nightmares broadcast on the internet. But thankfully, not only were plans for the site scrapped, but even a Facebook page devoted to the site was taken down. “We do not tolerate bullying or sharing other’s private contact information,” Facebook explained in a statement. Facebook continued: “and take action on content that violates our policies as soon as we’re aware.” Legal prosecutions, especially of complicated sex crimes that took place over years and decades, can be difficult to prosecute. Additional witnesses may be reluctant to come forward because society and especially R. Kelly fans may not want to hear what they have to say. We can only imagine the sort of courage that it took for everyone who participated in Surviving R. Kelly . View Slideshow: R. Kelly Addresses Sex Abuse Accusations in 19-Minute Song

SMH: Brooklyn Bishop Allegedly Admits To Raping 9-Year-Old Daughter In Church

Source: Marco Quintarelli / EyeEm / Getty Church Bishop Arrested For Raping His Own Daughter Mathew Gibson , whose father, Ben T. Gibson, is the head of Progressive Baptist Church in Brownsville, is accused of raping his own daughter between 2013 and 2017 when she visited on the weekends, police sources confirmed with The New York Post . The girl, now 14, kept quiet about what was happening — but recently told her brother, who is her legal guardian. He immediately went to police. The teen told police that Gibson would abuse her in various rooms inside the church. Gibson, 44, was arrested last Thursday around 5:50 p.m. at an East New York homeless shelter at Forbell Street and Conduit Boulevard where he’d been living. Gibson is charged with sexual abuse of a child, incest and child endangerment. He is being held on $10,000 bail with another court date on Tuesday. According to Myia Maples , the wife of the alleged victim’s brother, Gibson had been working in the church as a bishop. In a now viral Facebook post, the unsettled wife came to tears, asking for help from viewers. She says she wants the church to be shut down and treated as a crime scene. Myia also says that for years, after the victim’s mother died, her husband has been going through the court system to get the father’s rights revoked after they both suspected him of physically abusing the teen. She says the news of the alleged abuse was shocking. The teen blurted it out one day after confiding in her brother about her dislike for boys at school. She also says she has the father’s confession to the sexual assaults against his daughter on tape. Myia Maples is determined to get the church shut down as they seek justice for the unnamed young woman. So sad.

Butt Cheek-less Becky Puts 2 Women On Blast For Twerking On The Roof Of Speeding Car

Source: Suriyo Hmun Kaew / EyeEm / Getty Hater Posts Video Of 2 Women Twerking Atop Moving Car This lady will definitely qualify for hater of the year at the end of 2019. According to NYPost , 2 women were caught on camera twerking atop a speeding car traveling down Interstate 64 in St. Louis. The woman who captured the insane video didn’t record it because she was amazed at what she saw and was excited to get likes and RTs, no. Jackie Friedhoff is essentially the feds and when asked why she didn’t call the cops instead… “It didn’t cross my mind, I guess,” she said. “But I posted it on Facebook in hopes that they would get caught.” Hoping they would ge-…ma’am, how white and distasteful of you.

90 Day Fiance Recap: The Stars Tell All Part 2

So much has happened since Part 1 of the 90 Day Fiance Tell All special , but Part 2 aired on Sunday night. Notably, TLC’s censors stopped bleeping out obscenities about halfway through the broadcast, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Our favorite part was probably Leida and Eric getting scolded by just about everyone. Let’s start with, dare we say it, Colt and Larissa . We have had so, so much to say about Coltee and Larissa over this past week, in large part due to their bloody fight and divorce . Though this Tell All was filmed last year, the couple manages to take center stage there, too. Why? Because they are deeply controversial and not well-liked. When everyone returns to stage, Steven and Jonathan discuss the idea of not even responding to Colt and Larissa. Steven dismisses them as “trash,” and you know that you’ve f–ked up when Steven has the moral high ground. Larissa speaks about her arrest — at the time, she had only been arrested once, in June 2018. Since then, she has been arrested two more times. Colt expressed a fear that Larissa would be deported. For the most part, they could not speak out about it for legal reasons.  Every attorney’s worst nightmare is for their client to go on television and say anything at all that could be used against them in court. That’s out of the way, and it’s time to address Eric and Leida . We’ve actually been chomping at the bit to talk about Eric and Leida, because Tasha was on the Tell All. Tasha is Eric’s 19-year-old daughter with whom he was roommates … until, at Leida’s insistence, he kicked her out of her own home. Tasha’s okay and living with friends, but things are extremely tense. In fact, Tasha tells (the incredibly patient) Shaun Robinson that she “doesn’t have” a relationship with her father anymore. She says that he broke off all ties with her. Eric counters: “That’s not true. All I said is that I have nothing to say until I get an apology.” Shaun asks the very understandable question: for what does Eric demand that Tasha apologize? Eric says that it’s for “the mess.” That’s right, this is all about the apartment being slightly cluttered when Leida first arrived. He also says that Tasha “lied” by saying that about half of the mess was her father’s. It sounds like Eric threw Tasha under the bus and is just doubling down on that story to appease Leida. Tasha’s response is to simply raise an eyebrow, while Kalani — a parent herself — turns to give Eric a look of wide-eyed judgment. Overall, Kalani really really has the best take on Eric’s whole situation. Eric seems to want his teenage daughter to both restructure her entire life for him — which parents expect their minor children to do. At the same time, he very clearly wants Tasha to be an adult when it’s convenient for him — paying bills and working. “You guys are wanting her to be an adult,” Kalani says. “And pay bills and do this.” But, as Kalani points out, if Tasha is an adult, she can have her room and, frankly, her home as messy as she damn well chooses. Eric put Tasha in a no-win scenario and he seems stubbornly willing to lose his entire family over it. But Eric dismisses Tasha (and Steven) and tries to fit as many anti-Millennial buzzwords as he can. Nice try, dude. Okay, so then there’s Kalani and Asuelu . Asuelu, as Kalani has noted, has a sassy side to him. He really does not like Colt and Larissa, and he is a generally friendly person. Asuelu ended the Tell All with a Samoan dance, which is incredibly charming but made some people uncomfortable. The line between “I am appreciating his culture” and “they made this man of color dance for their amusement” can be tricky. Either way, best of luck to Kalani and Asuelu, who are fan favorites and who are expecting their second son — another boy. Jonathan and Fernanda seemed all good, aside from when Jonathan had to sort of stiff-arm Jay away. Jay said some very flattering things about Fernanda as an example of class and beauty. Like … we’re not saying that he’s wrong, we’re just saying that he is literally married to Ashley and needs to tone down his horniness by at least 20%. Obviously, since this was filmed, Jon and Fernanda have split. Jon recently revealed that he has not spoken to Fernanda since December 22. She apparently said some things to him that he is not willing to forgive, and he considers their relationship over. That’s … sad. (Also, just to address worries, Colt referred to Fernanda as a “16-year-old bride,” but she was already 18 when she and Jonathan met) Ashley and Jay had a host of issues that were mostly dealt with in Part 1 of the Tell All. Jay cheated on Ashley, signing up for Tinder right after their wedding. She caught him cheating on FaceTime three days later. That’s a nightmare, but Ashley was kidnapped at 19 and is also battling lupus. She has bigger fish to fry than her cheating husband. She does sound unwilling to send Jay packing to Jamaica, which is very nice of her. But she’s also not willing to just stay married on paper for him to horndog around with other women. Steven and Olga weren’t both on the show, because of Steven dragging his feet when applying for Olga’s visa. That is still weird and will always be weird, but it’s not as bad as him getting jealous of his own baby over Olga’s attention. We will say that this part of the Tell All showed Steven’s better side. He made good points about Eric and Tasha (though anyone can look reasonable compared to Eric). Most importantly, the dude apologized to Olga at the end, over Skype. That is important. That’s growth.

David Eason Quits Facebook Following Transphobic Rant

David Eason's social media options are beginning to dwindle. After receiving a visit from the Secret Service for making violent threats to various elected officials, Eason was temporarily locked out of his Instagram account. He made the move over to YouTube, where he attracted negative legal attention once again, this time for illegally towing a stranger's truck. After that, David began spewing his bigoted nonsense on Facebook, but after an appallingly transphobic comment earned David some much-deserved backlash, he apparently turned tail and deleted his account. Take a look: 1. David the Bigot David has made never made any effort to conceal his bigoted worldview. 2. Shameless Astonishingly, he has no problem with exposing himself as the homophobic white supremacist that he is — but he gets very upset when people call him out as such. 3. A History of Hate David was fired from Teen Mom 2 back in February of 2018 after launching a homophobic tirade against fans of the show on Instagram. 4. Not Learning From His Mistakes Sadly, David will probably never change his belief system, but you would think after getting kicked to the curb by MTV, he would at least start keeping his thoughts to himself. 5. Nope! David went on the offensive again last week, this time attacking the transgender community on Facebook. 6. The Ugliness Begins “Serious question, what would you do if one of your kids came to you and said, ‘Dad I think I should be a boy/girl?'” a user asked David. View Slideshow

Real Hero: Pilot Legendarily Lands Helicopter On High Mountain Range To Save Injured Skier [Video]

All heros don’t wear capes — some of them are just pilots with a keen sense of direction.  Like one helicopter aviator who bravely landed his chopper on The Alps, a.k.a. the highest and most extensive mountain in Europe, in order to save an injured skier. Nicolas Derely , who’s a friend of the fallen skier, miraculously had enough bars on his phone to call for help and to record the pilot’s epic landing. CNN reports, A helicopter from the Peloton de Gendarmerie de Haute Montagne (French Mountain Police) delicately nudged its nose towards the steep slope. The pilot managed to plant the aircraft’s right landing skid into the snowy incline to allow three members of the rescue team to disembark and treat the injured man. The medics fitted a leg brace on Bruno before the helicopter returned to perform the daring procedure again. With the helicopter’s rotor blades just inches away from smashing into the snow, the skier was winched away to a nearby hospital. The injured skier is safe and recovering from his failed kneww. His friend, Nicolas, now has over 1 millions hits on Facebook thanks to the video. #WinWin

Dog Lives Matter: Cop Canned After Being Caught On Camera Shooting Pooch [VIDEO]

A @CountyFaulkner sheriff’s deputy shot a dog in the face for fun. The sheriff’s office responded by saying the dog—a chihuahua—was “aggressive” and that the incident is being reviewed. https://t.co/VseXp0roMq — Natasha Bertrand (@NatashaBertrand) January 6, 2019 Cop Fired By Arkansas Police Department For Shooting Dog In The Face So it turns out that there are consequences for cops shooting innocents after all… An Arkansas police officer named Keenan Wallace has been fired after he was captured on video shooting a small dog named Reeses in the face. To make matters worse, Wallace was a K-9 handler! You’d think he would be more compassionate to animals right? According to NY Post reports: The footage was captured when Wallace responded to a call about an aggressive dog at an apartment complex in Conway, AR, Fox 16 reported. It shows the deputy speaking with a homeowner while two small dogs run around the yard, but when Reeses starts barking, Wallace shoots the dog. The yelping from the animal is really heart-wrenching. This is Reese’s the Poor dog that was shot. pic.twitter.com/YpRg0HJt2c — Catie (@catiejwoodson) January 5, 2019 Reeses survived the shooting but suffered a shattered jaw and requires surgery and ongoing medical treatment. A GoFundMe page was created to help cover her medical costs which give a more detailed description of the events leading to her injury. The page had raised 14,698 of a $15,500 goal as of our reporting. Wallace has been terminated from his position according to a post on the department’s Facebook page: “I was notified Friday of an incident involving Deputy Keenan Wallace. Deputy Wallace fired his service weapon that injured an animal while in close proximity to a citizen. I believe there were numerous opportunities to de-escalate the incident, “ reads a statement from Tim Ryals on the County Sheriff’s Facebook page announcing Wallace’s termination. “Our Department is saddened about this incident and apologizes for any distress and disappointment this incident has caused anyone who was affected by this disheartening event. We will keep Reeses in our thoughts through the recovery process,” continues the post. Prosecutors are reviewing the incident to determine whether criminal charges will be filed or not, Ryals said. Reese's, the dog, shot by Faulkner County K9 handler prepares for surgery. #arnews https://t.co/kmWjpLS3z2 pic.twitter.com/2KdBFCNyqE — KATV News (@KATVNews) January 6, 2019 Welp… We figured out how to get cops to stop shooting black people. We all gotta start walking around with dogs — because if dogs get shot, cops get fired. Crazy right?

It Goes Down At McDonald’s: Mickey D’s Customer Is Demolished After He Violently Grabs Employee

Read more:

Source: Joe Raedle / Getty It’s a well known fact that McDonald’s is the perfect place to practice your hands whenever you need to handle business in or outside the fast food world. Now of course, these fights might result in a lawsuit…or even jail time. But when it comes to the seriousness of your fast food order, a customer’s gotta do what a customer’s gotta do. However, sometimes the customer isn’t always right.  Daniel Willis Taylor  proved this when he had the audacity to grab a McDonald’s employee by the shirt when he was unhappy with her service. Little did he know that the employee had hands like Joe Frazier. In a clip posted on Facebook, Taylor argues with employee Yasmine James over an incident involving a straw, according to the Atlanta Black Star.  The chaos took off around 6:50 p.m. at a Florida location on Monday and witness  Kinie Biandudi  recorded the most intense moment. The argument between Taylor and James escalated, and Taylor proceeded to reach over the counter and grab James by the shirt. James was not about this life though, so she proceed to unload a round a fists towards Taylor’s face.   According to Biandudi, James said she used to box and after the fight Taylor “came back and went behind the counter & tried to fight the manager. The guy left before the cops arrived.” The Pinellas County Police eventually arrested the 40-year-old Taylor, accusing him of assaulting Yasmine James as well as kicking another female employee in the stomach. Smh, like whaaa… According to the report, Taylor was mad that the restaurant had a policy requiring customers to request drinking straws at the front. The footage of him attacking James went viral and many people came to the 20-year-old’s defense. “He should be jailed and she needs to have her job,” one user said. “It was self defense.” James was obviously praised for her hand skills as well. “She showed him those hands real quick tho!” one user wrote. “Someone get her an MMA contract.” McDonald’s came out with a statement regarding the incident saying, “Our highest priority is always the safety and well-being of our employees and customers at our restaurants.” But we all know it’s something about those yellow arches that has people seeing red. Fast food toxins maybe? But that’s another story. Until the next Mickey D’s throw-down!
