Children’s Cartoon Shows White Character Losing Her Beauty And Turning Into A Black Woman [VIDEO]

Source: Miguel Sanz / Getty Update:  After the backlash, MyPinguTv  apologized in a new video with an edited ending.  Any conscious Black person will tell you that racism is alive and well. Still, it has the ability to catch us off guard when we least expect it, in the most unassuming places. Today’s example comes from a children’s cartoon. According to Shadow and Act, a cartoon called “Dina and the Prince Story,” from the children’s YouTube channel MyPinguTV, showed the main character, Dinah losing her beauty. The loss of her beauty was punishment for speaking, which she had been forbidden to do. The problem just wasn’t about her losing her beauty for speaking. (That’s another topic for another day.) The bigger, more glaring issue is the fact that when Dina “lost” her beauty, she was transformed into a Black woman, with big, curly hair.

When the Prince comes and sees that her appearance has changed, she explains that the reason she’s “ugly” is because she disobeyed. The Prince says that her looks don’t matter, that he loves her anyway. Because he truly loves her, her looks return. You can watch the scene where it all happens in the video below. White supremacy is able to teach our children to hate themselves because anti-Blackness is normalized at every level of this racist society. This YouTube cartoon called “Dina and the Prince” depicts a white woman turning into a Black woman after she‘s cursed to be “ugly.” pic.twitter.com/UfyoAHeEtv — The Cali Nerd (@TheCaliNerd) July 22, 2019 Sign Up For Our Newsletter!

Oooh the drama… It’s unclear how long the two have been dating, but just last September, the beauty gave birth to her first child with fellow model Adonis Basso. His name is Saphir. For the record though, Woods never outright claimed Basso as her partner. She did refer to him as her “baby’s father” though. “I hear sob stories about baby daddy drama,” she told  ELLE UK  in 2018. “Being 21 and my baby’s father being excited is just step one.

She is also keeping the option open of one day being with a woman again: ‘With sexuality, when you are a public figure you have to pick a side, black or white.

The incident took place at around 1 a.m. on Saturday at a Taco Bell branch in Beaverton, Oregon, according to Washington County Sheriff’s Office. The suspect is 23-year-old Elianna Aguilar-Aguilar, who had a blood alcohol level of 0.12 percent, over the Oregon state limit of 0.08. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.  ( Terms and conditions ). The Sheriff’s Office wrote in its Facebook post that Aguilar poured the alcohol into the employee’s mouth “right in front of a sheriff’s office sergeant,” while she was “still in her car.” The Oregonian reported that the woman’s drink of choice was Hennessy Cognac, but Washington County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Brian van Kleef clarified that the Taco Bell employee didn’t actually consume the alcohol. “We talked to the employee after, and he said most of it was spilled on him and that he actually didn’t consume the Hennessy,” he told the publication.

Drake Finesses Creative Partnership with SiriusXM and Pandora

Source: Tony Forte/WENN / WENN Today (July 25), SiriusXM announced it has entered into a partnership between Grammy Award-winning rapper and SiriusXM and Pandora. Part of the deal includes a dedicated station as well as curated music playlists and collabs with talent. Reportedly, Drake holds the distinction of being the most-streamed artist of all time, so it only makes sense for SiriusXM and Pandora to link up with the 6 God. Drake previously hosted OVO Sound Radio on Apple Music, but there are no specifics on the exact type of programming he will be contributing to Sirius XM just yet. Sirius XM acquired Pandora in a reportedly $3.5M deal late last year, and the merger was finalized at the top of 2019. The creative partnership with Drizzy is there first major foray as one company.

Jersey Shore Recap: Ronnie SLAMS Jenni, Sides With Her Abuser!

When Jersey Shore ‘s famous gang of guidos decided to spend a few days at a dude ranch in the Adirondacks, they had no idea what the outcome of Mike Sorrentino’s sentencing hearing would be. Now, of course, we know that Sorrentino was sentenced to eight months behind bars for tax fraud. He’ll likely be released to a halfway house sometime in the next six weeks, but at the time of the random mountain vacation and the heartwarming “ranchelor party,” Mike’s future seemed uncertain — and a little bit scary. But in the meantime, the guidos decided to handle the situation the same way they handle every situation — by partying, of course. Unfortunately, there was some disagreement as to what sort of party should take place. Party games and a surprise visit from Mike’s fiancee, or strippers, strippers, and more strippers? Bizarrely, the crew decided to do both, and somehow — it worked out. Lauren Pesce (or “Laurens,” as she’s known on the show, for some reason) didn’t seem bothered by the presence of every stripper in the Tri-State area, and she and Mike eventually made their way to their own cabin, complete with rose petals on the bed and a pair of assless chaps. (Serious question: Is “assless chaps” a redundancy? Is there any other kind of chap?) There were other developments, of course, including Snooki getting so plowed there were times when it looked like we were about to witness a death by alcohol poisoning. But the big drama of the night came when Ronnie Ortiz-Magro decided to ask Jenni Farley about her relationship. Farley was going through a divorce at the time and clearly had no interest in discussing the matter with Ron — or anyone, for that matter. And yet, he persisted — operating under the logic that if she had such strong opinions about his tumultuous relationship with Jen Harley , then her relationship should be fair game, as well. “That’s how you fell in love, right?” Ron asked Jenni referring to Mike and Laurens. “I don’t want to be on camera with this,” said an unusually taciturn JWoww. “It’s already out there, so just…” he replied. “We don’t talk about it here, though,” she promptly interrupted. It may seem a bit unbalanced, but Jenni may have made it clear that her relationship was off-limits for her discussion on the show, which makes Ron quite the d-bag for pursuing it. “You acting like you feel nothing? That doesn’t work for nobody ever,” he later said while opening up to Angelina, of all people. “Like, when me and Jen [Harley] fight, and she acts like — that makes me more mad. You know? Be real.” In the midst of a full-on Ron-page and egged on by Angelina, he continued. “Stop acting like you’re not hurting. That’s what I’m saying. Stop acting like you’re not hurting,” Ron said. “There’s no way that this man is — I know what he’s going through. To be with somebody that’s so cold and shows no emotion and is just so — and all you do is give and give and give, like, it hurts.” And in a confessional segment at the end of the show, Ron hit us with this kicker: “That’s why me and Roger [Mathews] are so close ’cause we’ve been dealing with the same person.” To be fair, this was before Jenni accused Roger of abuse , but it was still out of line. In fact, it made us rewind to the scene where Ronnie busted his ass running from a wasp in order to enjoy that slapstick 18 more times. Dude had it coming! View Slideshow: Jen Harley: What Arrest??

Andrew Glennon: Amber Portwood Has Destroyed My Entire World!

We cannot say for certain whether or not Andrew Glennon has been cheating on Amber Portwood. New allegations against Glennon have surfaced in recent days, as the reality star battles his estranged girlfriend in court following her arrest for domestic violence. We can, however, say the following about Glennon: He has no regrets at the moment. This doesn’t mean Glennon is happy; quite the opposite, in fact. But he just made it clear, via a few fresh social media messages, that he can at least look in the mirror right now and feel pretty good about himself and how he’s been acting. We wonder if Portwood can say the same. “Nothing better in the world than a clean conscience,” Glennon shared yesterday on Instagram, adding as a caption “Except baby James.” He included this graphic (below) on the same day he appeared in court opposite Portwood to argue the matter of custody. As previously detailed on The Hollywood Gossip, Portwood learned during this July 25 hearing that she is no longer legally banned from seeing her 14-month old child. She must be supervised by an official at all times she’s with him, however. At least for the foreseeable future. A no-contact order also remains in place when it comes to Andrew, meaning these significant others won’t be hanging out any time soon. It doesn’t sound as if they would want to, anyway, regardless of what a judge determined. Because Portwood allegedly wielded a machete as part of an assault against Glennon back on July  5 that also included a shoe being thrown at his head? Yes. But also because Glennon may be texting a mystery woman about meeting up and possibly being intimate with each other. And also because Amber seems to think he was sleeping with someone behind her back. This would be no excuse for physically attacking Glennon, of course, but it would shed a bit of light on Amber’s mindset and motivation at the time of the incident. Just consider what Portwood posted (and then deleted) on Instagram shortly after her arrest: She later came out and said she was heartbroken , presumably about reports of Glennon texting the aforementioned female. While responding to fans on Instagram last night, Andrew said he’s “already” forgiven his longtime lover for her assault, yet  also insisted they’ve found themselves in this position before. Meaning she went after him in similar fashion before? We’re not certain. “Wasn’t the first time, just the worst time,” he wrote online, leaving this statement open to interpretation. “It’s been a long road of trying to heal.” Last summer, after giving birth to James, Portwood admitted to having suffered through postpartum depression, even confessing to suicidal thoughts at the time. The Teen Mom veteran even said she thought about hanging herself one night… but that Glennon basically saved her life by realizing something was wrong and refusing to leave Amber’s side. How awful, right? Despite having been there for Portwood in major ways such as what we just described above, Glennon has still been accused by Amber stans of making up details of the attack. Some folks out there seem to think Amber is the victim here for some reason. What does Glennon have to say in response? “Yes, you are right, my plan was to destroy everything that I loved in my world, correction, my ENTIRE world,” he replied to these charges, emphasizing his sarcasm as strongly as possible. And  when some followers advised against airing his dirty laundry in public, Andrew had the following to say: “I’m not shading anyone at all. Would you disagree with what I wrote? I’m sure Amber’s conscience is perfectly clean. Don’t read into it too much, I just don’t like being called a cheater when I’m not. “If I cheated you wouldn’t hear a peep from me, but I’m just not that species of animal so… conscience clean.” View Slideshow: Andrew Glennon Responds to Amber Portwood: Enjoy Your Pity Party, Loser!

Katie Maloney & Tom Schwartz: Our First Wedding Was Fake! Now We’re Getting Married FOR REAL!

We all know that only about 40 percent of reality television bears any resemblance to reality, and the other 60 percent is just badly-scripted primetime soap drama with sufficient product placement to offset the fact that the entire audience is fast-forwarding through the commercials. But usually, major events like weddings are legit occurrences in the lives of the cast members. Which is why Vanderpump Rules fans were shocked to learn this week that Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz are not actually married. Maloney and Schwartz’s wedding was featured on the show back in Season 5. It was a memorable occasion for many reasons, not the least of which is Tom’s baffling decision to bathe in a freakin’ river beforehand. Anyway, it turns out that despite exchanging vows on camera, Tom and Katie are not are not legally wed and never have been. The news was accidentally revealed by Lance Bass of NSync in a recent podcast interview. Bass apparently officiated the recent wedding of Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright , and when the topic of Vanderpump marriages came up, he had some surprising things to say about the first SUR couple to tie the knot: “So, yeah, I hope that [Jax and Brittany] are married because we just found out that Tom and Katie are not married,” Bass said. “They did not send in their materials right. So, they are not married.” Bass followed up on his comments during a Good Morning America interview on Wednesday: “Lot of times people forget that I’ve been in entertainment news for the last 15 years,” he said. “So, you know, when there’s pieces of nuggets out there, I’m going to talk about it.” “I didn’t know it was a secret,” Bass added. “I don’t know reality television like that. I apologize, I’m sorry. You’ll just have to watch. You’ll have to see the show to see what really happens.” Uh … casually dropping bombshell information during an interview and then teasing that fans will have to tune in to the show to see how it all plays out? Sounds like Lance understands a lot about reality television. But we digress … The important thing is that it looks as though the upcoming season of Vanderpump will feature not one, but two weddings. E! News has confirmed that Tom and Katie have obtained a marriage license , and based on their latest Instagram activity, it seems the entire VPR cast is currently assembled in Las Vegas. (Well, all except for Billie Lee, who quit the show last week. Of course, it seems unlikely that Katie would’ve invited the SUR hostess, anyway …) Tom and Katie’s second ceremony sounds like a quickie affair, and on the show, it’ll probably be overshadowed by Jax and Brittany’s nuptials. We suppose that’s fair, considering Schwartz and Maloney already had one televised wedding. But hey, at least it’ll spare us from this entire season being devoted to Jax and Brit’s planning process … especially considering that process already ate up a ton of screentime last season. And hey, smart move on Katie’s part getting married in the middle of a desert — it might force Tom to bathe in an actual shower this time! View Slideshow: 37 Classic Vanderpump Rules Moments in GIFs
