The Side-Eye: “Nasty” Newt Gingrich Says That President Obama Is In Favor Of Infanticide!

Come on now, really??? SMDH The Republican presidential candidates Wednesday night, during a GOP debate in Arizona, took shots at President Barack Obama for his pro-choice history. Newt Gingrich deflected a question about Obama’s recent decision mandating that employers’ insurance plans cover contraception by pointing out that Obama voted in favor of a law that protected abortion providers during his term as state senator of Illinois “You did not once during the 2008 campaign ask why Barack Obama voted in favor of legalizing infanticide,” Gingrich said. “If we’re going to debate about who is the extremist on this issues, it is President Obama, who, as a state senator, voted to protect doctors who killed babies. Mitt Romney lambasted Obama’s new requirement that insurers of faith-based organizations who object to birth control must offer the coverage to those groups’ employees for free. “I don’t think we’ve seen in the history of this country the kind of attack on religious freedom we’ve seen in Barack Obama most recently requiring the Catholic Church to provide for its employees and its various enterprises health care insurance that would include birth control, sterilization and the morning after pill,” he said. “He tried to retreat from that, but he retreated in a way that was not appropriate, because these insurance companies have to provide these same things, and now the Catholic Church will have to pay for them.” In fact, the Catholic Church is exempt from Obama’s contraception mandate. Kick rocks in flip-flops douchebag! Source Flip the page to peep the video of “Nasty” Newt’s ridiculous rant.

Here We Go AGAIN: Miranda Lambert Dedicates College Performance Of “Gunpowder And Lead” To Breezy

Miranda Lambert has continued to publicly berate Chris Brown following her Grammy’s Twitter rant last week. The country superstar made it clear that her feud with Brown, 22, is far from over during a show at the University of Massachusetts Thursday. Prior to performing her song “Gunpowder and Lead,” Lambert, 28, brought out a neon green poster bearing the words “Take notes Chris Brown” to let her fans know that she hasn’t dropped the ball in her campaign against the singer. “Get a good picture now, put it on Twitter,” Lambert told the crowd. “I’ve been in a world of hurt with Chris Brown fans lately … but see, I just have to speak my mind because where I come from, beating up on a woman is never okay.” According to E! Online, the singer then smirked, “So that’s why my daddy taught me early on in life how to use a shotgun.” “Gunpowder and Lead,” a hit off Lambert’s 2007 album, “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” is about a woman who prepares to shoot and kill her abusive husband just as soon as he’s released from jail. Earlier in the week, Brown responded to haters with two messages on Twitter that have since been removed. “HATE ALL U WANT BECUZ I GOT A GRAMMY Now! That’s the ultimate F–k OFF!” he wrote following an outpouring of outrage on the social networking site. “I’M BACK SO WATCH MY BACK as I walk away from all this negativity #teambreezygrammy,” he later posted. Both comments no longer appear on the singer’s Twitter feed. In response to his tweets, Lambert posted a smug: “Oh and one more thing for all who are asking … I have a Grammy too.” Yoooooo. We understand having strong feelings about the man performing at the Grammy’s but the Grammy’s are over. Breezy has served his probation and apologized and clearly Rihanna isn’t even looking to “put him back in his place” so what is with Miranda Lambert’s personal vendetta? Wouldn’t she be better served devoting her energy by volunteering with women and kids at a shelter? Or should Breezy just be put out of business for life???? Source Image Via Facebook More On Bossip!

Michael Jackson’s pop-culture defining Thriller music video helped usher in MTV era of music yet the song itself isn’t even among his top 50 Billboard charting hits, according to Billboard . Below we list Jackson’s best charting hits of his almost mystical music career as determined by Billboard. The selections aren’t as obvious as it may seem. His collaborations with former Beatle Paul McCartney have generated the most chart success for Jackson. The widely-coined “King of Pop” is recognized as one of most successful entertainers of all time. Debuting in the music spotlight in 1964 as the front man and youngest sibling of Motown’s popular boy group the Jackson 5 before kicking off a solo career in 1971. Jackson became a transformative figure within music and pop culture with the release of his 1982 Thriller album and its supporting videos, which not only spawned the 14-minute horror cinematic opus that was the “Thriller” video but also MTV defining hits for chart toppers like “Billie Jean” and “Beat It”. Thriller would go on to be recognized as the greatest-selling album of all-time with over 100 million copies of the album sold, but Jackson, while still amassing a dizzying amount of fame as a performer (he’s garnered countless awards and has sold more than 750 million albums worldwide from Thriller and his other solo projects including Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), and HIStory (1995)) also became as much of a caricatured celebrity for the bizzare headlines was linked to. 10. The Girl Is Mine (1982) Michael Jackson & Paul McCartney Billboard: “A duet with McCartney, the song was released in October 1982 and quickly debuted on the Hot 100 at No. 45, eventually rising to No. 2. “The Girl Is Mine” also famously kicked off an incredible run of hits from the “Thriller” album.” 9. ABC (1970) The Jackson 5 Billboard : “In somewhat of a case of chart fortune-telling, it was perhaps fitting that the Jackson 5′s second Hot 100 No. 1 dislodged the Beatles’ second-to-last No. 1, “Let It Be,” from the top of the chart, as arguably the most influential group in the history of pop music symbolically passed the baton to the format’s future King.” 8. I Want You Back (1970) The Jackson 5 Billboard : “Michael Jackson’s six-decade tenancy on the Billboard charts began the week of Nov. 15, 1969, when the then-11-year-old and his four brothers entered the chart at No. 90 with “I Want You Back.”” 7. Man In The Mirror (1988) Michael Jackson Billboard : “When “Man in the Mirror” reached No. 1 on the Hot 100 in 1988, Jackson became the first artist in the chart’s history to pull four No. 1 songs from one album.” 6. Dancing Machine (1974) The Jackson 5 Billboard: “”Dancing Machine” was the final Hot 100 top 10 for the group on Motown Records, as the act departed the label for Epic in 1976, re-christened as The Jacksons.” 5. Rock With You (1980) Michael Jackson Billboard : “Jackson’s third No. 1 spent four weeks in the Hot 100′s top slot, the longest of any of his singles at the time.” llowScriptAccess=”always” width=”640″ height=”360″> 4. Beat It (1982) Michael Jackson Billboard : “The dancefloor gem tallied 25 weeks on the Hot 100, the most by any single in Jackson’s career solo or with the Jacksons.” 3. I’ll Be There (1970) The Jackson 5 Billboard : “This single was the last and longest-reigning (five weeks) of four consecutive Hot 100 No. 1s in 1970 for the brothers from Gary, Ind.” 2. Billie Jean (1982) Michael Jackson Billboard: “”Billie Jean” propelled the singer to a true worldwide sensation. With seven weeks at No. 1, the song introduced the “Thriller” album to the masses.” 1. Say Say Say (1983) Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson Billboard : “At six weeks, “Say” marks Jackson’s second-longest reign at No. 1 on the Hot 100. While “Billie Jean” spent one more week at No. 1 and two more weeks on the Hot 100 than “Say Say Say,” Jackson’s collaboration with McCartney spent more weeks in the top 10 (13 to 11), the top 20 (16 to 12), and the top 40 (18 to 17) than “Jean” did, making it his all-time biggest hit on the Billboard charts.”
