This dude is cuttin’ it up with his brown bag in tow. Looks like Miami, FL reporter Hank Tester’s serious story got a whole lot of laughs! Miami already produced one of the most classic news bloopers of all time, but in a town this wacky the entertainment can come from behind the live shot as often as it does in front. The latest case in point: NBC Miami’s venerable newsman Hank Tester was reporting live from the scene of a Lauderhill convenience store shooting last month when a man on the scene decided to do a little dance in the parking lot. And by “do a little dance,” we mean one of the most liquid-hipped grooves we’ve seen this side of “Soul Train.” Fortunately, the Internet was on hand to capture the clip and set it to the lurching dance number “Moving Like Bernie.” Watch the clip above, and count your blessings: at least this time no one brought up incest on-air.

Garcelle opens up about relationships, her dirty dog ex-hubby and if she’ll ever go back to black men again . We’re big fans of Garcelle Beauvais , not just for her onscreen work, but also for the way she reamed her dirty dog hubby in an email to his colleagues. After her divorce from the trifilin’ ex , the Haitian hottie sat down to talk about her love-life now and getting back to her roots when it comes to men… Some people are wondering…would Garcelle date a Haitian man? Um. [Tremendous laughter] I am open to dating a good man, so whatever forms he comes in, then great. I would have to date a Haitian man who’s more Americanized. A traditional Haitian man would probably not go for the way my life is…in terms of what I do. I’m only speaking of that in terms of my sisters’ husbands. I’m open to all nationalities. It would actually be fun to date somebody Haitian. We can speak in Creole. He’d understand my background and culture. Yeah, I’m totally open. You never had a Haitian boyfriend or anything like that? I did, I did; I did. Back in the days when I was younger, I did. You said you had a Haitian boyfriend before. Was it something about them that turned you off to marriage? No, no. I never dated—I was so young then. It wasn’t about getting married. We were just dating. I haven’t yet met a Haitian man who’s asked asked me out. [Laughter] God, I hope this doesn’t come out wrong. Has the fact that you’ve dated two men who were outside your culture and “race”, made you more open to dating a black man? I’ve always been open to dating black men. Oliver’s dad is black. I’m not opposed to it. It’s that the right people have to approach me. I love who loves me; I love who comes to me. I’m accessible to everybody. I’m receptive to everybody. I can’t just go out and look for only one type of man. Life is tough enough. I love who loves me; who approaches me. Garcelle Beauvais is beautiful, single and ready to mingle. We’re glad to hear Garcelle is back in a good space. Guess that “Something New” ain’t always what it’s cracked up to be. Source
Nicki might not be the only Black Republican . A December 2010 Gallup Poll pointed out that blacks are conservative on most moral issues, almost as conservative as Republicans . The following are some of the ideas that make blacks as conservative as Republicans on social issues: 1. 31% of blacks said that homosexuality is morally acceptable while 30% of Republicans said the same. 61% of non-black Democrats agreed that homosexuality is morally acceptable. 2. 46% of both blacks and Republicans believe that sex between an unmarried male and female is morally acceptable as opposed to 68% of non-black Democrats. 3. 37% of blacks said that abortion is morally acceptable and 25% of Republicans agreed with them. 54% of non-black Democrats agreed that abortion is morally acceptable. 4. 30% of blacks agreed that same sex marriages should be recognized by law as valid, 22% of Republicans concurred. 57% of non-black Democrats also agreed. Overall, blacks are more closely aligned with Republicans morally verses their non-black Democratic counterparts. Furthermore, blacks are more religious and go to church more often than either Republicans or non-black Democrats. In church attendance 76% of blacks attend weekly services and 67% of Republicans attend weekly. The elections are upon us again, will blacks still support the Democrats and President Obama? If Blacks never vote for Republicans, why would they ever listen to our concerns? Also, if we always vote for Democrats no matter if they fulfill their promises or not, why should they listen? See the paradox? Maybe this is the time for us to consider a change? Ehhhhh, we don’t know about all that. Source
This dude needs to sit the eff down. Hank Williams, Jr., keeps talking isht about Obama during his concerts and surprise; his fans are eating it up! Hank Williams Jr. repeated his anti-Obama tirade at a concert in Texas on Sunday. Performing at the Stockyards Music Festival, the country singer went on an extended rant against the president. “We’ve got a Muslim for a President who hates cowboys, hates cowgirls, hates fishing, hates farming, loves gays, and we hate him,” Williams Jr. bellowed. As the Dallas Sun reported, the crowd responded with a loud cheer. This is the second time in recent weeks the singer has used heated language when describing his distaste for the president. A late August concert featured Williams Jr. doing the same bit, though the dig at homosexuals appears to be a new addition to his schtick. Hanky’s already lost his NFL gigs…if he keeps talkin’ isht he’s going to lose even more. Source Images via WENN
Take a closer look and judge for yourself… Secret Service Investigating Billboard Calling For President Obama’s Death The GOP and their supporters have really been pushing the limit lately with the anti-Obama smear tactics, but this billboard in Texas may just be the last straw. A billboard sign in Victoria, Texas had drawn an investigation by the Secret Service. The controversial sign seems harmless at a glance because it says, “Pray for Obama” and then quotes a scripture,Psalms 109:8., but it is the scripture that has caused an uproar. Psalms 109:8 reads, “Let his days be few, and let another take his office.” The man behind the sign, Milton Neitsch Jr., says that he did not think that people would notice that the sign was calling for the President’s life to end soon. He must have assumed the people of Victoria, Texas did not know the scriptures. Many people are calling the sign hateful and inappropriate and they say that it is using the holy scriptures in the wrong way. Many people are also demanding that the sign must come down. Neitsch claims that he saw an e-mail from one of his buddies that called for the President’s days to “be few” and decided to pay for it to go on a billboard on North Navarro Street in Victoria, Texas. The fact that the Secret Services is taking the time to look into this certainly all but confirms the intent of the message , but some feel that the scripture in question was included to reference President Obama’s days in office being numbered rather than his days on earth. *Sideeye.* Do you buy it?

Bobby Brown performed with New Edition at a sold out concert during the Allstate Tom Joyner Family Reunion gathering that attracted 14,000 people over the weekend. Bobby performed a set that lasted almost two hours with band members Ralph Tresvant, Ronnie DeVoe, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Johnny Gill. Bobby appeared to be in good spirits and was greeted wildly by the audience during the opening. While on stage he told the crowd: “I’m seven and a half years off of narcotics, 21 days clean of alcohol, and I go by the name Bad Azz Bobby Brown!” Bobby chilled backstage it with Tom Joyner, his son Cassius, and wife Alicia Etheredge (who was treated at a local hospital for a seizure days earlier). New Edition is celebrating 30 years of performing as a group. Images via Tony Leavell, Rance Elgin
WTF ??!?!!? A wheelchair-bound man who claimed his daughter had been abusing him doused her with acid Saturday, a savage attack in Brooklyn that caused the skin to peel from her face, cops and witnesses said. Darlene Lynch, 49, sprinted from her Schenck Ave. apartment about 1:40 p.m. Her skin and clothes were smoking. She was screaming for help. “My father did this!” Lynch wailed as her clothes disintegrated off of her body, leaving her nearly naked in the street. Neighbors at the Boulevard Houses in East New York looked on in disbelief. “You could see the smoke coming off her body,” Clarissa Shakespeare said. “Everyone was just traumatized and scared. Her skin looked like melting wax. And then her whole eye lid was melted. The whole left side from her face all the way down to her feet.” Sources said the victim’s dad, Jerome Lynch, 69, splashed his daughter with a drain cleaner, El Diablo — which is 98% sulfuric acid. SMH!!! Poor girl! Clearly this man is out of his damn mind, lock him up! Source

Guess we’re not the only ones who thought Clint forgot to take his meds. In what was the oddest and most awkward moment of the night, Clint “Money Mitt Lover” Eastwood took to the stage and kind of made a fool of himself. The best part of this has been the hilarious tweets (even one from Obama) in reaction to the empty chair speech. In case you didn’t know, Clint was the “highlight” celebrity speaker of the RNC.
