It's been eight months since David Eason was fired from Teen Mom 2 as a result of his bigoted views and hateful slurs. Unfortunately, this is 2018, a time when everyone has a platform — which means Dave still has a way to reach out to his fellow racists and homophobes. Fortunately, for every idiot who pipes up in support of Eason's idiocy, there are a few thousand who are happy to condemn it — and it turns out some of them have some pretty specific shade to throw at reality TV's least favorite house husband: 1. Mr. Evans Jenelle’s been the primary breadwinner in her household for the better part of a year now, so it stands to reason that David is starting to get very bored. 2. Haters Gonna Hate Yes folks, a hater with too much time on his hands is a very dangerous thing, and David has found a very sad way of keeping himself occupied. 3. Straight Pride In case you weren’t aware, David is proud to be a straight white man. Like, really proud. Like, it’s pretty much all he talks about. 4. To Be Fair … Okay, it’s not ALL he talks about. David also enjoys taking shots at Jenelle Evans’ exes, all of whom seem to be a source of major insecurity for him. 5. Relax, Dave Sources say Eason was so upset about an MTV special focusing on Jenelle’s relationships with exes like Kieffer Delp that he briefly broke things off with his wife. 6. The New Target Of course, these days, David focuses most of his energy on hating a much more recent ex of Jenelle’s … View Slideshow
T he conservative-leaning Rasmussen Reports claimed that 35 percent of African-Americans approve of President Donald Trump ‘s job performance. Through this survey, the politically biased pollster is supporting Trump’s myth that he’s done a lot for Black people. See Also: Canceled! Millennials Pick Obama As Best President Over Trash-Talking Trump In a report released on Friday, Rasmussen placed Trump’s overall approval rating at 51 percent among likely voters. “This is Trump’s highest Presidential Approval Index rating since early March of last year, shortly after he first took office,” Rasmussen stated. One day earlier, Rasmussen tweeted about the suspiciously high level of Black voter support for the president. Good day for @realDonaldTrump job approval… https://t.co/mazBCW77nY All Voters: 50% approve Black Voters: 35% approve pic.twitter.com/MKP85IGRYU — Rasmussen Reports (@Rasmussen_Poll) October 4, 2018 Rasmussen raised eyebrows in August when its polling first suggested that there was an increase of Black voter support for Trump. The Washington Post called that claim “far-fetched,” given the president’s long history of racial insensitivity. The newspaper pointed out that Gallup surveys have consistently polled African-American approval of Trump at around 10 percent through 2018. This new poll comes as Trump tries to rally his base and help the GOP scrape together as many Black votes as possible to hold on to Congress. At rallies, Trump has been trying to convince people that he’s accomplished great things for African-Americans in his two years in office. Among his claims is that Black median income has reached a high point under his administration. That’s not true, according to the Associated Press . Census Bureau data shows that the median income in 2017 for an African-American household was $40,258. That’s below a 2000 peak of $42,348 and also statistically no better than 2016, which was President Barack Obama ’s last year in office, the AP said. It’s no surprise that Rasmussen appears to help Trump promote the myth of Black support, given its connection with the GOP . To achieve its ends, Rasmussen Reports uses research techniques that make its polls favor Republicans, Ipsos Public Affairs research director Mallory Newall told The Hill .

(Getty Stock Image/ Sven Krobot / EyeEm) Toddler Killed After Wind Hurls Bouncy House In Air At Pumpkin Patch This is so sad. A family of four was visiting a local pumpkin patch , in Lancaster County Nebraska when the parents allowed their two children to play in a bouncy house area. Unfortunately, the bouncy castle wasn’t secure and both of the children were thrown into the air. Caleb Acuna, 2, and his sister Gabrielle, 5, were jumping on an inflatable bounce pad at JK’s Pumpkin Patch when a strong gust of wind hurled it into the air, the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release . This tragedy happened just moments after the children’s parents Edward and Berna Acuna climbed off the jack-o-lantern shaped inflatable pad. Gabrielle was thrown nearly 30 feet into the air and broke her arm. Unfortunately for Caleb, he sustained a severe head injury after being thrown, more than 100 feet, Raymond Fire Safety Officer Nick Monnier told the Lincoln Journal Star . He did not survive the trauma. The toddler was pronounced dead on Thursday after being taken off life support, the Associated Press reported. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family, staff members, first responders, and medical professionals involved in this tragic incident. pic.twitter.com/lWC3LnDAGi — Lancaster County Sheriff Nebraska (@LSOnebraska) October 5, 2018 So sad. A GoFundMe was set up for the Acuna family in hopes of raising funds to cover his funeral costs. May he rest in peace.
https://www.instagram.com/taylorswift/?hl=en Taylor Swift > Kanye West Remember about 10 years ago when Kanye West hopped on the VMA stage to yank Taylor Swift’s award and pay homage to Beyonce? That sparked a feud between the two that hasn’t ended. No one would have thought, 10 years ago, that in 2018 we’d be getting a Taylor Swift that speaks up for black people and a Kanye West who wears MAGA hats. But that’s exactly what happened. Swift just dropped this IG note on her political views and, spoiler alert: she’s voting democrat. I’m writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November 6th, in which I’ll be voting in the state of Tennessee. In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now. I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent. I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love. Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives. Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway. So many intelligent, thoughtful, self-possessed people have turned 18 in the past two years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do. October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting! That’s right, Swift cares more about black people than Kanye West. This is some damn BS. If you had told me two years ago Kanye would be running around in a MAGA hat while Taylor Swift was endorsing democratic candidates, I would have smacked you to the ground and stolen your wallet for wasting my time. — KB (@KaraRBrown) October 8, 2018 Twitter is…not okay. Take a look at everyone having an existential crisis over this. WTF, Kanye. WTF indeed.
Getty Images More Than 100 Injured Following Earthquake On Haiti’s Northern Coast An earthquake struck off of the northern coast of Haiti late on Saturday. It is being reported that the quake killed at least 11 people and injured more than a hundred when several buildings collapsed in the impoverished Caribbean country, according to officials. The earthquake had a magnitude of 5.9 quake and was centered about 12 miles west-northwest of the coastal town of Port-de-Paix, the U.S. Geological Survey said. Jackson Hilaire, the police chief for the northwest region, announced earlier that at least seven people were killed and more than 100 injured in Port-de-Paix. Another four people were reported dead in and around the town of Gros-Morne further south, which includes a boy who was struck by a falling building, said mayor Jean Renel Tide. This earthquake was one of the strongest to hit Haiti since 2010, when a 7.0 magnitude quake struck near the capital, Port-au-Prince and killed tens of thousands of people. In a post on Twitter, President Jovenel Moise urged the people of Haiti to remain calm after the civil protection agency reported the latest quake had caused outbreaks of panic in northern towns following the commotion. The agency said that Port-de-Paix, Gros-Morne, the town of Chansolme and the island of Tortuga were the cities to suffer some of the worst damage across the coast. They also reported that some houses were destroyed. Le Nouvelliste newspaper said that one person in particular was killed when an auditorium collapsed in Gros-Morne and that detainees were released from a police holding cell that was damaged.The tremor also damaged the facade of a church in the town of Plaisance and a house next door collapsed, the paper said. Saturday’s quake was felt in Port-au-Prince, but initial reports via Twitter said that it had not caused major damage there.
Image via Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic/Getty Margot Robbie In Talks To Star In ‘Barbie’ Movie Wonder if Nicki Minaj will get a cameo? According to Deadline , the folks at Warner Bros. are looking to cash in on the $3 billion franchise that made toy-maker Mattel a household name. A Barbie film is in development after spending significant time idling at Sony and it is rumored that Will Smith’s rumored becky bae Margot Robbie is in talks to play the seminal blonde. Initially Amy Schumer was going to star in the flick (Can’t imagine how THAT would have worked) and Anne Hathaway was attached but stepped away once production couldn’t be coordinated around Schumer’s schedule. Obviously a Barbie story wouldn’t just be glamor and glitz, the idea was to tell a story where Barbie isn’t the perfect icon that many lauded her as in the late 80s and early 90s. She was to go on a journey that teaches her that true happiness comes from the inside. This sound like something you’d be interested in?

(Photo by Prince Williams/GC Images) The Game On The Run After Ignoring $7.1 Million Sex Assault Judgment The game is up for The Game. The U.S. Marshals are poised to arrest the West Coast rapper Friday night during a concert, BOSSIP can reveal. The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Taylor, was supposed to appear in federal court Friday in Illinois to answer why he hasn’t turned over his financial information to Priscilla Rainey, who won $7.1 million after suing him for sexually assaulting her while they filmed his reality show “She’s Got Game.” LOS ANGELES, CA – APRIL 14: Jayceon Terrell Taylor, aka The Game, The Game x Sprayground Collaboration Signing At Shoe Palace attends at Shoe Palace on April 14, 2016 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Gabriel Olsen/Getty Images) But when he didn’t turn up, Judge Gary Feinerman lifted a hold on an arrest warrant and ordered the U.S. Marshals to pick him up at his show Friday evening at the Moda Center, according to court docs obtained by BOSSIP. Rainey has complained that The Game has repeatedly dodged her request for the docs so she can figure out how to begin collecting her multimillion-dollar payout. However, The Game’s lawyer asked the judge to throw the warrant out “in the interests of justice and equity,” saying that his client provided the financial docs in time for Friday’s hearing.
Source: Christian Vierig / Getty Fashion is big business and Louis Vuitton is seemingly the top earner. The French company has been named the most valuable clothing brand in the world. According to a report by Business Of Fashion , LV will be slotted as the top apparel brand on Interbrand’s yearly “Best Global Brands” list. As per the official press release the chart “analyzes how the Best Global Brands are achieving bold transformation that drives lasting economic value through brand strength. Key trends include customer-centricity, positive utility, the rise of luxury, and the success of subscription models.” For 2018 the luxury house came in at a number 18. Additionally it was named as one of the five “Top Growing Brands” with a 23 percent growth from 2017. The high placement should come as no surprise considering their recent announcement of Virgil Abloh as the director of menswear. “Louis Vuitton’s strength of point of view runs through everything they do. They have been relentless with their engagement with millennials, they’ve gone a lot deeper with their appointment of Virgil [Abloh] and they’re investing in people” explained Rebecca Robbins Global Chief Learning & Culture Officer at Interbrand. The brand consultancy firm notes that the luxury sector as a whole has experienced a spike. “It is astonishing. Luxury is the biggest story of the report. It’s their ability to connect to cultures and next generations. They have cracked the code by having a point of view in the market. Luxury is a space of excellence, whether its fashion, leather or jewellery” Robbins stated. Other noted fashion brands who scored high are Chanel (#23), Zara (#25), H&M (#30), Hermes (#32) and Gucci (#39) who was also noted for their hyper growth. Apple, Google and Amazon were the top three brands respectively on the top 100. You can view the entire list here . Photo: WENN.com
Nipsey Hussle, Dom Kennedy, & Belly Link For “Double Up” Video Even though Nipsey Hussle’s long-awaited album Victory Lap was released at the beginning of this year, the rapper continues to reveal more visual content from his beloved project. On Thursday, the Crenshaw native premiered his music video for “Double Up,” which stars his girlfriend, Lauren London , actor Jackie Long, along with the song’s features Dom Kennedy and Belly. Directed by Sergio, the 11-minute visual begins in 2007, with Hussle and London portrayed as a team of drug-dealers who joined forces to make what looks like a crazy amount of cash. After Nipsey ends up teaching London everything about the game, he asks her to make a drop-off to a client. As she drives to her destination, she sees a police car tailing her and gets rightfully paranoid. Even though the cop doesn’t stop her, Lauren is visibly shaken by the incident and ends up quitting the drug game immediately without informing Mr. Hussle. Now, the video flashes forward to 10 years later, where London is married to a clean cut business man played by Jackie Long. Unfortunately for the couple, they are forced to sell their luxurious mansion–but as it turns out, Nipsey is the one who’s interested in taking it off of their hands. The rapper arrives to the house and after being greeted by Long, London ends up giving her a former love interest a tour of the place. Nipsey agrees to purchase the house and later invites London and her husband to come over to his housewarming party. London does end up making an appearance at the party, but without her husband. She ends up spending time with Nipsey, walking romantically along the beach while the party is roaring nearby. Though is does seem as if Lauren appears open to the idea of rekindling her love affair with Nipsey, her former love interest surprises her at the end of the video by revealing that he also has a new partner in his life–which doesn’t go over to well with London. Catch the video for “Double Up” below.
