Damn, black brotha Tracy Morgan In Critical Condition After New Jersey Car Accident Via NBCPhiladelphia Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan is in intensive care following a limo bus crash along the New Jersey Turnpike, NBC10.com has learned.

Must be nice .. Taxpayers Pay For Luxury Rehab For Teen Who Killed 4 People Despite killing four innocent people, Texas teen Ethan Couch will continue to live in the lap of luxury as he attends Newport Academy, a high-end rehab center in California. Via RadarOnline reports: After killing four innocent people last June during a drunken joy ride in Texas, teenager Ethan Couch was spared any jail time by a lenient judge after a doctor diagnosed the 16-year-old with “affluenza” — a sense of entitlement so extreme, due to his family’s wealth, that he had no concept of consequence — and now RadarOnline.com has learned the teenager’s rehab treatment is largely being paid for by the public! In what’s sure to cause public outrage, just as Couch’s sentence of just 10 years of probation did, taxpayers are footing the bill for the teen’s cushy $438,000 per year treatment. “Recently a judge ruled that the teen should be sent to North Texas State Hospital in Vernon. The hospital’s rehab program charges $700 a day, but since it is a partially state-funded institution, Couch’s parents would only be charges $38 per day for their son’s treatment,” Breitbart contributor Kenneth Webster said. “Thanks to taxpayers, Couch’s rehab bill has been dropped from $438,000 annually to only $13,870.” As Radar reported, Couch previously attended the Newport Academy, a high-end rehab center in Calif. that gives patients the opportunity for equine assisted psychotherapy where they can ride horses, a state-of-the-art gym facility, mixed martial arts lessons, opportunity for massages and cooking lessons. On top of the four victims who were killed by Couch’s reckless drive in his pickup truck following an alcohol-fueled party at the mansion his father gave him, 13-year-old Lucas McConnell was injured and his family has filed a civil lawsuit against the Couch family in which they are hoping for a jury trial. At least five other families recently settled with Couch’s affluent parents, Fred and Tonya. The latest development in the McConnell suit is that Texas Judge R.H. Wallace Jr. has ordered Couch’s attorneys to hand over the records of psychologist Dr. Dick Miller, who diagnosed Ethan with the “affluenza.” The judge also ordered records from the private Calif. facility where Couch is believed to have been treated for substance abuse. Couch’s legal team made it clear they plan to appeal the order, but will have to do so before the June 27 deadline. “The proper mechanism to have a higher court review an order of this type is a petition for writ of mandamus (or simply mandamus). A mandamus is like an appeal but can be filed in the middle of a case from an order related to discovery,” Couch’s attorney, Michael Yanof, told Radar. Welcome to AmeriKKKa! If taxpayers are paying for it, put him in a state run no frills rehab, not some place where he gets cooking lessons and massage therapy. He’s there for “affluenza”, let his affluent parents pay for it.
They speak English though… Whoopi Goldberg Defends Justin Bieber’s N-Word Usage Even Whoopi Goldberg is throwing on her cape for the little n-word enthusiast. The latest in a string of Black people to let us all know that it’s totally fine for Justin Bieber to call Black people anything he feels like , she says he probably just had no idea what he was saying…being Canadian and all. Via Dlisted : Whoopi Goldberg explained on The View Monday that we shouldn’t get mad at the stinky training pants skid-mark Justin Bieber for gleefully belting out “One Less Lonely N*gger” because the American n-word isn’t the same as the Canadian n-word: “You know, Canadian words — I’m going to say the word so get ready to beat me. Nigger doesn’t mean anything in Canada. And how do I know this? Well, I did a movie last year, in Canada, and a young, wonderful Canadian woman wrote it, and I’m reading it and I’m thinking, ‘We wouldn’t say anything like this.’ So I went to the director and I said, what is this? And he said, oh, she lives here. And I said so she doesn’t know anything, she doesn’t get what we’re talking about.” “What I’m saying is that, when you are 15 and you’re someplace where that’s not a word that you have associated with people of color…they weren’t calling them that.” But by the time the video was shot, Bieber had already been in the USA and guided in the industry by Black men for a couple of years… It’s one thing to not necessarily believe that Bieber is a racist , but why is everyone trying to make it seem like his words were okay?People in countries across the ocean know that the N-word is wrong to say…does she really think out next door neighbors are completely oblivious to what’s offensive and what isn’t?
See what happens when you stop eating 45-pound hamburgers? Adam Richman From Man Vs. Food Fame Loses 70 Pounds, Poses Nude Looks like cutting out competitive eating can really do good for your waistline ! If you’ll recall Adam Richman from The Travel Channel show, Man vs. Food, he spent years eating over-sized pizzas, toddler-weight hamburgers, and wings so hot you had to sign a waiver before consuming. After quitting the show he has lost over 70 pounds. Via Mailonline : Former Man V. Food host Adam Richman is celebrating is 70lb weight loss with a naked spread in Cosmopolitan UK’s July issue. Mr. Richman managed to shave the 70lbs from his body in a mere 10 months. He told the magazine: ‘To go from hating the way I looked to being a Cosmo centerfold is a profound honor’ When his show, which gave viewers an inside look at the competitive eating industry, ended in 2012 following a four-year run, Mr Richman was left with a 40-inch waistline and what he described to People magazine in September as a ‘doughy face.’ Mr. Richman was motivated to change his lifestyle, which on shoots involved eating 190lb hamburgers and two-gallon sundaes, due to concerns over his health as well as a nonexistent sex life. He retired from the popular show in order to focus on eating better and exercising. He cut out white flour and dairy from his diet and stocked his kitchen cupboards with healthy snacks. ‘I love peanut butter and ice cream but I can’t keep them in my house,’ he explained. Throughout the day he eats small 150-calorie meals every two hours and some of his favorite go-to diet foods include almonds, Greek yogurt, salmon and meal replacement bars. Mr. Richman told People in September that the tipping point came when he caught sight of himself in the mirror one day and his body appeared to be ‘the size of a Smart car’. Man Vs. Food….man wins! Good for him. Cosmopolitan UK
Kanye is becoming quite the protective husband and father… Kanye West Trying To Protect North From The Paparazzi First he tries to keep Kim off of reality TV , now he wants Nori protected from the paps . Looks like Yeezy’s working double time to delete the hoeness Kardashian stigma from his union with Kim. Via RadarOnline : Stay away from my daughter! Kanye West is one scared papa when it comes to his precious baby North West and RadarOnline has exclusively learned that he’s taking drastic measures and extra precautions to keep his little girl safe. Kim Kardashian’s husband has always been an awkward daddy, telling his mother-in-law Kris Jenner that he couldn’t even properly put her car seat in the car, but he’s taking her security very seriously now. “Kim and Kanye have been arguing over all of the exposure North got during the wedding,” a source close to the Yeezus rapper told Radar. “He was frustrated that the baby was in public so much and he wants to make sure that now that all of those festivities are over that she’s protected.” Marrying into the very public Kardashian family and having every detail of their lives exposed apparently makes Kanye very nervous. The source told Radar that Kanye’s problem with his daughter getting photos taken by paparazzi and by friends and put on social media isn’t a “control issue,” but worry for her safety. “Kanye isn’t trying to control any press about North. He’s genuinely afraid for her safety and doesn’t want people to be able to track her every move.” The doting dad has been trying to figure out a way to make sure his only child is safe from anyone that might want to get too close. “He is talking to other really rich and famous people about how they keep their kids safe and what extra precautions he can take. He isn’t taking any chances.” Do you think Papa West stands a chance against Mama Kris? You know the queen Momager probably wants to milk KimYe’s Western Union for all it’s worth…
NYPD Arrests over 100 Harlem Residents In Largest Gang Bust In New York History Over 100 gang affiliates are off the streets in Harlem tonight after a massive drugs and weapons bust that took place in two housing projects early this morning. Via MailOnline : More than 100 members of three feuding gangs were arrested in Harlem for killings and gun violence on Wednesday in what was described as the largest indictment of gang members in New York City’s history, authorities said. The arrests and indictments were part of a conspiracy investigation that stemmed from the 2011 murder of Tayshana Murphy, an 18-year-old high-school basketball star, a person familiar with the investigation said. Hundreds of New York City police officers, many heavily armed, swarmed the Manhattanville and Grant Houses in the early morning hours. The coordinated action began at approximately 6 a.m. when teams of cops from gang divisions across the city donned helmets and carried battering rams as they simultaneously stormed several apartments. Those arrested included some of the most dangerous gang members accused of terrorizing residents of the housing complexes, according to police. More than 400 NYPD cops flooded the neighboring Manhattanville and Grant Houses, near Amsterdam Avenue and West 125th Street around 5:30 a.m. There were 103 arrests in the sweep, of those, 41 were already in jail on other charges, police sources said. NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton was at the 33rd Precinct station house and addressed officers before the early-morning raid, sources said. ‘This is one of the biggest takedowns in NYPD history,’ a police source told the New York Post. Some of those who were arrested this morning were laughing as police lead them out in handcuffs One of them shouted, ‘Happy Stack Day!’ referring to his gang, the ‘Staccs.’ Members of the ‘Make it Happen Boyz’ and ‘Money Avenue’ were the other groups caught up in the raid. Police brought out two men the Manhattanville housing complex as Police Commissioner Bratton looked on. ‘We ain’t no f–king gang. I ain’t in no f–king gang,’ a man identified by his mother as Isaac Waterman, 20, said as police walked him in cuffs to a waiting police van. ‘Y’all just f–king up my life,’ he yelled. Dozens of the charged gang members will face first-degree conspiracy counts on which they’ll face a max of 25 years to life in prison. Their arraignments are expected to begin Thursday in Manhattan Supreme Court. Hopefully that neighborhood will be much safer for the families that live there now! However…with that number of arrests, do you think the police are really sure they have all the correct people? Just a thought… Twitter
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAS FLOTUS! Michelle Obama Says She Pays For All Her Designer Clothes Michelle Obama ‘s fashionable clothing has become something of a given in her five-plus years as first lady. Yet her wardrobe still is the subject of endless public fascination and one long-simmering question: Who pays for those incredible outfits? Via HuffPo reports: It’s no small matter. Her high-low fashion choices mix everyday, off-the-rack fare with custom creations from top designers whose gowns can run into five figures. In recent weeks, Mrs. Obama has turned heads with a forest-green Naeem Khan dress at the opening of a new costume gallery at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. She shimmered in a silver Marchesa gown at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. And her flowered shirtdress for a Mother’s Day tea at the White House (recycled from an earlier event) hit the just right note for an audience of military moms. It takes money to pull that off, month after month. Those three dresses by themselves could add up to more than $15,000 retail, not to mention accessories such as shoes and jewelry. Is it the taxpayers who foot the bill? No. (Despite what critics say.) Is it Mrs. Obama? Usually, but not always. Does she pay full price? Not likely. Does she ever borrow gowns from designers? No. “Mrs. Obama pays for her clothing. For official events of public or historic significance, such as a state visit, the first lady’s clothes may be given as a gift by a designer and accepted on behalf of the U.S. government. They are then stored by the National Archives.” Michelle Obama stunt on them haters!
Birds of a feather flock together…especially at KFC, apparently. Study Finds That “Fat People” Are Happiest In Similar Weight Groups A new study has proven that larger people are happiest when they remain in community groups of like-weighted individuals. However that contentement doesn’t necessarily come from the ability to hit the buffet together, but moreso from the lack of judgement and stigma placed on them by having skinnier peers . Via MailOnline : Overweight people can be just as happy as their skinny friends – as long as they are surrounded by others of a similar shape. How your figure compares with others in the community is key when it comes to feeling good about yourself, a study has found. The finding could explain why more than three-quarters of people in some towns are overweight or obese, as couch potato lifestyles and unhealthy diets become the norm. The U.S. researchers found most people are absolutely content – even if they are out of shape – as long as most of those around them are wobbling about as well. Sociologist Philip Pendergast said: ‘The most interesting finding for us was in U.S. counties where obesity is particularly prevalent, being obese has very little negative effect on one’s life satisfaction. ‘In addition, we found being ‘normal weight’ has little benefit in counties where obesity is especially common. ‘This illustrates the importance of looking like the people around you when it comes to satisfaction with life.’ He added that obesity does not seem to be the main reason obese people are less satisfied with life. Rather, it is the ‘stigmatisation’ of being abnormal that causes them to feel low. Well this certainly explains that one group of big chicks always in the club together! But in all seriousness, we have got to stop thinking this way. If a group of fat friends inspire each other to stay fat…couldn’t at least one fit friend change the dynamic?
Just the tip! In a much more literal interpretation of the term “ Jimmy Hat ,” a, LA man has invented a condom for increased male pleasure and safety. Wrap (some of) it up fellas! Via MailOnline : An American has invented a new condom which he says is stronger, safer and enables better sensitivity. The Galatic Cap Pregnancy Prevention device sits on the very tip of the penis, leaving the shaft exposed. It was developed by LA-based Charles Powell after a friend of his contracted HIV. He believes his product is ‘easier to use, safer and more secure – and vastly more pleasurable – giving a sex sensation the way nature intended.’ The condom comprises two parts – a U-shape polyurethane adhesive film that wraps around the penis – like a plaster around a finger – and a cap that sticks to it to firmly trap semen. Mr Powell claims the polyurethane part is like a second skin – and can be put on hours or days in advance as it can be worn while urinating and washing. When a man wants to have sex, he peels off the paper backing on the cap and sticks it to the polyurethane to securely bond the two and trap semen. He insists the device, which is transparent, will stay on for the duration. Mr Powell believes his product provides a solution to three common issues with condoms: a lack of sensitivity, problems getting into the packaging and applying the condom. Hmm, interesting right? Easier use, increased sensation, and safer relations…seems like a win-win! Fellas would you cop this?
SMH!!! Toddler Critically Burned By SWAT Grenade Blast During Drug Raid A careless SWAT Unit unknowingly threw a stun grenade into a sleeping toddler’s crib during a drug raid on Wednesday evening. The baby now has severe burns all over his body, so intense in fact that they are too graphic to show here. Peep the video: Via WSBTV : A family says a SWAT team raided its home in the middle of the night and seriously injured a 19-month-old boy with a stun grenade. Alecia Phonesavanh told Channel 2’s Ryan Young her child is at the Grady Memorial Hospital burn unit, and is in a medically induced coma. Phonesavanh said she was at her sister-in-law’s home, in Habersham County, early Wednesday when police raided the house. Phonesavanh told Young the grenade landed in the child’s crib, and she showed him a photo of a charred portable crib. “It landed in his playpen and exploded on his pillow right in his face,” Phonesavanh said. She also showed Young pictures of her child in the Grady burn unit. Channel 2 has decided not to share most of the photos because of the graphic nature of the child’s injuries. Cornelia Police Chief Rick Darby confirmed that the raid took place at the home just before 3 a.m. He said a multijurisdictional drug unit issued a warrant and organized the SWAT operation. Deputies said they bought drugs from the house and came back with a no-knock warrant to arrest a man known to have drugs and weapons. Darby told Channel 2′s Wendy Corona that the entire unit is very broken up about the incident. How much drugs could they possibly have purchased at the home to feel an entire SWAT unit was necessary? They need to pay far closer attention to what they are doing during these raids . SMH. We truly hope the baby recovers well.
