Donald Trump Fires Off Dumb Tweets About Global Warming & Vanity Fair, Gets Savagely Roasted

Look, we understand that headline’s not gonna please anyone. Either you’re a dyed-in-the-wool #MAGA ass and you came here just to deride us as a bunch of libtard cuck-flakes in the comments, or you’re part of the majority of Americans who wishes the president would stop tweeting entirely, in which case, you probably think we didn’t go nearly far enough. But hey, our New Year’s resolution is to piss off as many people as many people as possible, and we decided to get an early start! We kid, of course. Resolving to offend people in 2018 is like resolving to breathe in and out. It’s gonna happen no matter what, and it doesn’t require any active effort. For evidence of just how easy it is to piss off tens of millions of people these days, you need look no further than the tweets of America’s P-ssy-Grabber-In-Chief, Captain Offensive Pants. No doubt still clad in a Trump Hotel bathrobe , the president frequently outrages half the planet before he’s even dropped his morning Big Mac deuce. While our more heathen-y presidents may have taken the holidays off in order to drink Starbucks and slaughter a virgin, the Trump Train kept right on rolling!  By which we mean the 71-year-old leader of the free world spent the season of peace talking enough trash on social media to shame a recently-dumped middle school girl or a butthurt Star Wars fan. And who were the Donald’s targets this time around? Well, there was Vanity Fair , which committed the grievous offense of cracking jokes about a woman Donald once threatened to imprison, and then there was planet Earth, which has apparently pissed Trump off by continuing to exist despite his apocalyptic environmental policies. First, some context: In case you haven’t heard, it’s effing cold in the northeast. Like, even by “winter in the northeast” standards. Someone told this to Donald, and his response was apparently to crack his knuckles and start sticking it to the libs: “In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!” Now, hopefully, we don’t have to tell you that’s a dumb thing to say or point out that weather and climate are not the same thing. A cold day isn’t an indication that the planet is stable anymore than a single hot day is evidence that it’s heating up. The world’s scientists are concerned due to data collected over several decades which indicates a disturbing trend toward hotter … ya know what? Let’s just move on to less-terrifying idiocy… As you may have heard, there was controversy this week over a video posted by Vanity Fair , in which several staffers expressed their 100 percent-justified belief that Hillary Clinton should probably step away from the political arena for the foreseeable future. The situation outraged the president, not because of the content of the clip, but because VF dared to issue an apology for the sake of those who found the video offensive. “Vanity Fair, which looks like it is on its last legs, is bending over backwards in apologizing for the minor hit they took at Crooked H. Anna Wintour, who was all set to be Amb to Court of St James’s & a big fundraiser for CH, is beside herself in grief & begging for forgiveness!” Trump tweeted. Never mind that our commander-in-chief is still devoting his days to picking petty fights with various media outlets, Anna Wintour is the editor of Vogue , not Vanity Fair. Sure, they both star with “V,” but if we Donald off easy on this one, next week he’ll be referring to Justin Trudeau as the prime minister of Cambodia. Needless to say, Trump was roasted to a crisp over both tweets, but sadly seeing our president get savagely corn-cobbed by the entirety of Twitter is one of the many things we’ve been forced to get used to in 2017.

Veteran News Anchor, En Route to Funeral, Dies of Stroke

Shocking and tragic news out of the world of television this week: Amanda Davis, a popular news anchor in Atlanta, died on Wednesday after she suffered a “massive spontaneous stroke” while on the way to to her stepfather’s funeral. She was 62 years old. According to local reports, the CBS46 reporter was rushed to a hospital on Tuesday evening due to a medical emergency at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. She passed away the next night. Davis had only just informed Twitter followers a few hours earlier that her “pops” had died and that his funeral was planned for Wednesday. Per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, she was at the airport and heading to Texas to say farewell when she suffered this fatal stroke. Her final post on Facebook was shared on Christmas Eve and featured a text graphic about the difficulty of experiencing one's first Christmas after losing a close friend or relative. It included the caption: “Stay strong, keep praising the Lord.” Davis had served as a news anchor in Atlanta for more than three decades,having previously worked at FOX5 Atlanta, where she helped launch Good Day Atlanta  way back in 1992.  She left that station in 2013 and went to work for a local CBS affiliate, which Tweeted the following in the wake of her passing: Today we're taking the time to remember a member of our family, #AmandaDavis, who tragically passed away after suffering a stroke on Tuesday. If you have a favorite memory, please share them with us. Davis gained a unique following and formed a close bond with viewers after she opened up about an alcohol addiction in 2016 with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “It felt good,” she said about her treatment program, adding at the time: “I had learned a lot and gotten to the underlying issue for the drinking and my depression, which was the loss of that relationship. I was wallowing in that grief and drinking to feel better.” In the wake of this stunning news, many former and current colleagues took to social media to express their condolences. For example, CBS46 morning traffic reporter Julie Smith Tweeted: “In total and complete shock right now. Please pray for comfort and peace for Amanda’s family. They’ve been through a lot & need our prayers. “Please pray also for all of our @cbs46 family as we deal with the loss of our colleague & friend. Rest In Peace Amanda.” Added anchor Sharon Reed: “RIP Amanda Davis. Our dear colleague passed away minutes ago. She was surrounded by her family and friends. We loved her here at CBS46. “We will miss her and honor her memory.” Watch the following video for more on this sad situation:

Demi Lovato Flaunts MASSIVE Cleavage on Instagram, Internet Rejoices

At some point in the past year or so, Demi Lovato became one of the hottest celebrities on the planet. It’s not as if this development happened entirely out of nowhere–Demi was always attractive, but while no one was paying attention, she somehow attained previously unimaginable levels of smoke show-ness: Maybe it happened when Demi got sober. Maybe what we’re seeing is the positive benefits of removing Wilmer Valderrama from one’s life. (Fact: Mila Kunis is the only member of the cast of That ’70’s Show that it’s okay to be attracted to.) Whatever Demi’s doing, it’s working. Demi Lovato swimsuit pics are nothing new, but it’s not hard to see why this is one of her most popular to date. Despite going live less than 24 hours ago, Demi’s bathing suit selfie is already creeping up on 3.5 million likes. Those are “break the internet” numbers. As a general rule, anything that’s posted online that doesn’t involve kittens will attract haters and trolls. So it’s possible that Demi has set some kind of record by posting such a popular pic without drawing any real criticism. We suppose there might be some trash talk in the comments section somewhere, but it’s been buried by marriage proposals and declarations of undying love. “I love you so deeply, I would die for you,” wrote one fan. “OKAYYY SIS GET IT NOW LOOKING GOOD AF AND CONFIDENT IN THAT PERFECT BODY OF YOURS YOU ARE TRULY AN INSPIRATION,” remarked another. You get the idea. Sadly, the image wasn’t accompanied by any info about how we might all be more like Demi. “In [heart emoji] with this bathing suit…” Lovato captioned the pic. That’s not gonna help us get rid of our post-holiday guts, Demi! Fortunately, we know a little bit about how the 25-year-old singer stays in such incredible shape. Demi’s battled eating disorders and addictions in the past, but these days she’s militantly devoted to maintaining her physical and mental health. Demi was recently awarded a blue belt in  Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and she’s reportedly dating a mixed-martial artist. So yes, she looks incredible, but more importantly, she can kick ass. We’re beginning to understand all those marriage proposals on her IG page. View Slideshow: Demi Lovato Instagram Pics Are the Hottest Thing in Human History

Rose Marie Dies; Veteran Actress Was 94

Rose Marie, a veteran actress and show business legend best known for her role on The Dick Van Dyke Show, died Thursday at her home in California. She was 94 years old. The late star’s publicist has confirmed the sad news. Marie’s extensive career started as a child singing sensation in the 1920s and 1930s. In an interesting note, she was the last surviving entertainer to have charted a hit before World War II. Pretty cool, right? The artist and actress landed her first major TV role in 1960 on the CBS sitcom My Sister Eileen, prior to rising to prominence alongside Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore. Marie portrayed Sally Rogers on all five seasons of The Dick Van Dyke Show; she was nominated for an Emmy Award in 1963, 1964 and 1966. “We were a tight-knit, hard-working crew,” she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2004, adding at the time: “I couldn’t wait to get to the set each day.” Marie appeared on several television shows and films, and was also became active in animal welfare issues as the years went on. Born Rose Marie Mazetta on August 15, 1923, the multi-talented star began acting and singing at age three, performing on stage at New York’s Mecca Theater. She was dubbed “Baby Rose Marie the Child Wonder” and was often heard on the NBC Radio Network. In the 1930s, Marie toured in vaudeville; and in the 1940s, she performed in nightclubs and theaters, even becoming a co-headliner on opening night of the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas. Later in life, Marie gained new fans as a frequent celebrity on Hollywood Squares. How frequent? Marie appeared on 629 episodes of the game show! She received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2001. All in all, Marie’s amazing career spanned nine decades and was chronicled in the documentary “Wait for Your Laugh,” which was released earlier this year. Tweeted Carl Reiner, who created The Dick Van Dyke Show, upon learning of Rose’s passing: I was so sad to learn of the passing of Rosemarie. There’s never been a more engaging & multi-talented performer. In a span of 90 years, since she was four, dear Rosie performed on radio, in vaudeville, night clubs, films, TV, & Vegas & always had audiences clamoring for “more!!” May she rest in peace.

Lewis Hamilton Publicly Shames 4-Year-Old Nephew, Apologizes

Formula One racer Lewis Hamilton posted a video in which he appears to be shaming his 4-year-old nephew for wearing a princess dress that he got for Christmas. The backlash was immediate, though some were divided as to whether this upsetting video was sincere or just a really bad idea of a joke. Below, you'll see the video — the nephew is adorable , for what it's worth — and Lewis' apology. Lewis Hamilton is a Formula One racer. He's handsome, in a bargain basement Elliot Knight sort of way. He's British, he has piercings, and he's reasonably famous. There've been reports of Lewis Hamilton dating Kendall Jenner and he's also been linked to Rihanna. His life is a fantasy for most, so … why is he so sad in this video? As you'll see below, Lewis Hamilton records a Snapchat video. To be fair, it's not always easy to tell how sincere someone is being on social media, particularly in a very short video that seems to send some mixed messages. But his words are troubling. ““I’m so sad right now,” Lewis says. “Look at my nephew.” And then he shows his four-year-old nephew, to whom he appears to be speaking. “Why’re you wearing a princess dress?” Lewis demands. “Is this what you got for Christmas?” His nephew laughs and nods. “Why did you ask for a princess dress for Christmas?” This is when Lewis starts yelling, though since we can't see his face, it's difficult to tell what sort of yell it is. “Boys don’t wear princess dresses!” Whether Lewis Hamilton was sincere or not in his opinions, this video is troubling. Even if he was “play-yelling” with his nephew (he did spend part of the day playing with his nephew), his words were upsetting to a number of followers. The backlash on social media was immediate and powerful, and Lewis deleted the video and issued a three-tweet apology. “Yesterday I was playing around with my nephew and realized that my words were inappropriate so I removed the post. I meant no harm and did not mean to offend anyone at all. I love that my nephew feels free to express himself as we all should.” Even if you're joking (and he doesn't quite say that he was), some worried that his words could have had an impact on his nephew. 4 is a formative age. “My deepest apologies for my behavior as I realize it is really not acceptable for anyone, no matter where you are from, to marginalize or stereotype anyone.” It's important to remember that “boys don't wear dresses” is probably very similar to the last words that some men and trans women have heard yelled at them before they died. So … it's really not funny. “I have always been in support of anyone living their life exactly how they wish and I hope I can be forgiven for this lapse in judgment.” Honestly, I'm inclined to believe that he made the video in jest and didn't realize how people would perceive him. Not everybody's good at humor, folks. Dresses are cool, folks. They can be colorful, they move when you walk, and they're immeasurably more comfortable than pants. (Pants are nothing but leg prisons) The instant that it becomes widely socially acceptable for men to wear skirts and dresses, plenty of men will rush to wear them because they're great articles of clothing and it's silly to restrict them by gender. But we won't get to that place as a society solely through the work of pioneers like Jaden Smith. Part of what will lead to a more accepting world is not saying things to children like what you're about to hear in this video. Yes, even if you're joking.

Arie Luyendyk Jr: Too Old to Be The Bachelor? Too White?

For better or for worse, Arie Luyendyk Jr. is the leading man on this upcoming season of The Bachelor , and there are some people who are very unhappy about this upcoming season. And there’s more to that frustration than wishing that someone else were starring on the show. Is Arie Luyendyk Jr. too old? Is the cast of contestants too young? Are they all (or most of them) too white? Before you say it, this isn’t just about why Peter Kraus isn’t the Bachelor . Peter’s a fan favorite and, unlike precious puppy Dean Unglert, didn’t soil his reputation on Bachelor in Paradise . Peter was an easy pick to win. But, you know, fans think they know who’ll win The Bachelor based upon names and math, so … sometimes a fan theory is really just a guess. (Hint: if you follow The Bachelor Spoilers , you have a pretty good idea of how all of this is going to end) But showrunners felt that Peter wasn’t up for it, or maybe they just wanted to surprise fans by defying their expectations. And picking Arie certainly does that. That said, the concerns that fans have over this upcoming season ( The Bachelor will be upon us so soon, you guys!) are a little less personal and a lot more important. First of all, we have to talk about race. Rachel Lindsay’s season of The Bachelorette was historic, and not just because Rachel was the franchise’s first black female lead. Though that, in and of itself, was a huge deal — and many are disappointed that The Bachelor did not follow in its sister series’ footsteps. Eric Bigger isn’t quite Peter Kraus … (Even Rachel Lindsay knows that, even though she’s thrown Peter under the bus at every opportunity since her season ended) … But some fans feel that he would have made a stronger, handsomer Bachelor. (Especially with that revenge beard!) And, quite frankly, even with Arie at the helm of the show, they could have made the contestants a little more racially diverse. Rachel Lindsay’s season of The Bachelorette was historically diverse. Yes, she is black, and that was an amazing and embarrassingly long overdue bit of the bare minimum amount of inclusion for the franchise. But if you look at her suitors, you notice that they were a much more diverse crowd than we’re used to seeing — on The Bachelorette or The Bachelor . Nearly half of Rachel Lindsay’s suitors were men of color. Then we look at the women competing for Arie Luyendyk Jr.’s “rose” (or “heart” or whichever euphemism you prefer), and see that the series has taken a step backwards. Finally, we need to talk about age. Nobody likes this topic, because time is cruel and unfeeling and robs us of all capacity for pride or joy with time, but we need to address it. Arie Luyendyk Jr. is 36. His absolute oldest contestant this season is 33. A 3-year age difference barely matters in college and is a blink of an eye when both people are in their thirties. Most of the women are in their mid-to-late 20s. There are a couple of women who are 23. And scuttlebutt is that Rebekah, whose age was conspicuously absent from early reports, may be as young as 22. Of course, people have whined about recent Bachelors being “too young,” allegedly wanting to increase their social media visibility instead of genuinely looking for love. (As if anyone believes that Arie’s here for love) All of these criticisms make sense. Diversity matters. Reasonable age ranges matter. But we have to wonder if The Bachelor is preparing to pivot. Perhaps their next leading man will be a 26-year-old man of color, and Arie is just the dull build-up to a groundbreaking 2019 season. In the mean time, take a look at Arie’s prospective mates, and decide for yourself if, beautiful though they all are as individuals, the make-up of the overall cast leans a little too young and  white .

Tyler Baltierra to Catelynn Lowell: Please Come Home Soon!

Last month,  Catelynn Lowell checked into rehab  after publicly revealing that she’d been battling suicidal thoughts and severe depression. Lowell has remained at the faciity ever since, and while she’s been unable to update her many social media followers, her husband, Tyler Baltierra, assures fans that she’s making steady progress and hopes to be home soon. “My wife is incredibly strong & courageous,” Tyler tweeted earlier this week. “She inspires me to just be a better human being all around & I’m so honored to share my life with such a selfless soul. I love her so much & can’t wait for her to be home.” He added the hashtag” #CatelynnStrong,” which Teen Mom: OG fans have been using to discuss their own battles with mental illness and the strength that they’ve gained from seeing Lowell be so candid about her struggles. The weeks since Catelynn checked into treatment have not been without their fair share of drama, but thankfully, Lowell has been shielded from it for the sake of her mental health. Just this week, Catelynn’s cast mate Farrah Abraham attacked her on Twitter, claiming that she still smokes pot regularly (despite her claims to the contrary) and that Baltierra is secretly gay . Tyler dealt with the situation himself on Twitter. “Well today I thought of every way to kill myself.. so I’m going to treatment #makeChesterProud @TalindaB #KeepTalkingMH #thiswontlast,” Catelynn tweeted just prior to entering treatment back in November. She referenced the late Linkin Park Chester Bennington, who took his own life  in July, and tagged the Linkin Park singer’s wife, Talinda. “I’m taking the time I need right now to take care of myself for good,” Lowell told Us Weekly in a statement issued later that day. “On November 17th I thought of every possible way to commit suicide … From wrapping a belt around my neck to just running my car into an electric pole. “THANK GOD I have a support system and a HUSBAND and a DAUGHTER … thank god I am self-aware,” she added. “I’m seeking treatment and I WILL get better … anyone feeling alone you ARE NOT ALONE! This world needs all of us! We are all here for a reason … Thank you for your support during this tough time.” There’s no word yet on when Catelynn will receive treatment, but Baltierra says her treatment has been going smoothly, and  “We’ve been in Arizona for the past 2 weeks visiting her every Sunday,” Tyler recently wrote on Instagram. “I have taken a break from everything & chose to really take this time for me and Nova … Without her mom around, she needs me & my devoted attention. Family always comes first!” Here’s hoping Catelynn continues to receive the love and support she needs. Watch Teen Mom: OG online for more on Lowell’s valiant struggle.
