If you haven’t been keeping up on the bizarre Dr. Seuss-related conflict between Floyd Mayweather and 50 Cent, allow us to bring you up to speed: Earlier this week, 50 challenged Mayweather to read one page of a Harry Potter book in a video that was supposed to be a take on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, but seemed to kind of miss the point of those clips. 50 Cent Feuds With Floyd Mayweather The next day, audio of Mayweather struggling to read was released by an NYC radio show, and it became apparent that the champ might actually be semi-illiterate. Some responded by saying that the situation is sort of sad and we probably shouldn’t be mocking Mayweather. 50 responded by downgrading his challenge to “one page of the Cat in the Hat.” Now Mayweather has responded in his own fashion: Those are checks from Mayweather’s last two fights. Proof that they don’t call him “Money” for nothing. The boxer tweeted the proof of his jaw-dropping paydays with the caption “Read this $72,276,000.00. God bless.” Not bad for a dude who can’t get through The Sorcerer’s Stone. Your move, Fiddy! 15 Celebrity Feuds We Never Saw Coming 1.

Good news, as the old adage goes, has a tendency to travel fast. Especially with a family as tight-knit, and huge, as the Duggars. Such was the case with the fact that Jill Duggar is pregnant after just a few weeks of marriage. She and husband Derick Dillard knew they couldn’t keep that secret. They didn’t even try. Jill and Derick were busy spreading the word almost as soon as they saw that positive pregnancy test. Her parents? Shocked! In a good way. “There is a lot of joy,” Michelle Duggar gushed. Jill’s father, Jim Bob Duggar, says though he was shocked about the news, he knows the newly-married duo he set up will be wonderful parents. “Jill has been such a wonderful sister to her brothers and sisters,” he says. “She always makes activities for the kids, looks for ways to make a dull project fun.” “And Derick is going to be a wonderful father.” Derick’s family is often overshadowed by the Duggars, but mom Cathy, 57, now cancer-free after intensive chemotherapy, was moved to tears. “I was unable to be involved in any of the wedding preparations for Jill and Derick,” she says. “And so I am really looking forward to helping [with] the baby!” Cathy, who was adopted but has two sons in Derick and his brother, is excited to have a third blood relative. A lot fewer than Jill has, but just as special. SO Many Duggars 1. A Duggar Family Pic Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are still working on that 20th kid. Fortunately, Jill is in good hands when it comes to carrying her first baby . If there’s anyone who knows what it’s like to be pregnant, it’s mom Michelle … “I have said to Jill, ‘When you feel sick and so tired, remember you are growing another person inside of you and this is a good reason to be sick.'” “For me, I would try to sit down and rest whenever I was sick while pregnant. You have to do what you have to do. The end result is so worth it.” There’s also no shortage of babysitters around. “I am up for it if they need help,” says Jill’s brother Jedidiah, 15. “I am so excited for Jill and Derick and I know they are going to make wonderful parents.” “Jill has always wanted to be a mom. She is perfect for it. And Derick is a wonderful guy, he will be a good dad. He will be amazing. We’re so happy.” Congratulations again to the happy couple, and to Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald , who just got engaged this month after 11 months of courting!

Jill recalled when Derick stopped by while caroling with a church group, and not long after, “Derick contacted my dad and asked if he would be a prayer partner during his two-year term in Nepal.”
Floyd Mayweather’s bizarre habit of feuding with famous rappers has caused trouble for the boxer in the past. (Most notably when T.I. brawled with Mayweather in Vegas .) But now a hip hop artist who Mayweather hasn’t directly picked a fight with is talking smack for seemingly no reason. It all started when Mayweather gave an interview earlier this week in which he addressed claims that he slept with T.I.’s wife , and other incidents in which he pissed off rappers. “Hip hop artists, they come and go, they come and go,” said Mayweather. “But I’m still here.” He went on to imply that he’s currently beefing with three rappers, all of whom are washed-up. 50 seems to believe that description applies to him. 50 Cent Feuds With Floyd Mayweather The rapper (who is, in fact, kinda washed-up) posted a video today in which he explained why Mayweather should have no ill will toward him, but should kick the ever-loving crap out of Nelly: “I’m like what he say f-k me for?” said in response to the interview. “Nelly f–ked your first baby mama, Melissa. Then he took your f–king fiance. [You should say] f–k that n-ga!” Many have since pointed out that Nelly is currently dating Mayweather’s ex, Shantel Jackson . Watch the clip above for 50’s latest rant, as well as an earlier video in which the rapper issues a challenge to Mayweather. Yes, 50’s hilariously offensive take on the ASL challenge is something he calls the ESL (English as a second language) challenge. Implying that Mayweather is illiterate, Fiddy offers to donate $750,000 to the charity of Floyd’s choice if the prizefighter can read “one page of a Harry Potter book.” Burn. Floyd should probably respond by challenging 50 to a first pitch competition . 15 Celebrity Feuds We Never Saw Coming 1.

SMH!!! Alleged Sexual Predator Refuses To Give Up School Board Seat Remember the school board member we told you about who assaulted a sleeping or unconscious minor in San Diego ? Well apparently he feels as though he still deserves his job…despite the disgusting charges against him. Via LATimes : A Compton school board member arrested last week on suspicion of sexually assaulting a sleeping man, said he will not step down despite numerous calls for his resignation. In a statement released through his spokeswoman, Skyy D. Fisher said inaccurate information has been disseminated in an effort to force him from the school board. He vowed to fight the allegations while continuing to serve the students and parents of Compton. “Mr. Fisher expects to be fully exonerated and vindicated in this matter,” Jasmyne Cannick, his spokeswoman, said in the statement. But community members protested Monday outside his home, and again pushed for his ouster during a late afternoon board meeting. Fisher was not home at the time of the protest, and was absent from the board meeting. “I don’t know how long we are going to go before we take action,” said Maria Villareal, a parent who lives in Compton. “Maybe he needs to kill somebody or rape somebody before the board takes action.” According to an arrest warrant, a 26-year-old man told San Diego police in April that Fisher had performed oral sex on him as he slept. The two men were on a trip to San Diego and shared a room, but were sleeping in separate beds, according to the arrest warrant. The man told police he woke as Fisher was sexually assaulting him. The nerve of this sicko! He ought to be forced to step down…physically if need be. Strangely enough, the first stories we encountered about Mr. Fisher involved a minor. Now it’s a 26-year-old man? Something ain’t right. SMH.
