Killer Mike is under fire after he did an interview with NRA TV in the wake of the March For Our Lives protests against guns in schools. In his interview, Killer Mike says he threatened his children that if they walked out of class during #NationalWalkoutDay, they could walk out of his house. He also defended his right to bear arms by saying that in the fictional African country of Wakanda, everyone had guns. “I told my kids on the school walkout, I love you, if you walkout that school, walkout my house…we are not a family that jumps on every single thing an ally of ours does because some stuff we just don’t agree with.” – @KillerMike #MarchForOurLives pic.twitter.com/Gx8JLntmZ8 — NRATV (@NRATV) March 24, 2018 Only one problem, there were literally NO guns in Wakanda. In fact, Wakanda had a lot of things. They had rhinos, they had explosives, they had shields, but they did not have guns. Wakanda had wigs, but no guns. Hey @KillerMike they don't use guns in Wakanda (it's so primitive).. They use this pic.twitter.com/lNpo0RVio5 — John Christopher (@jayceekessel) March 25, 2018 Hit the flip to see what other weapons Wakanda was working with (but no guns!)
Donald Trump Bans Transgendered People From The Military Despite already trying — and failing — to pull this move last summer , Donald Trump is adamant about making sure no one who’s changed their gender identity can serve in the US Armed Forces. Trump just signed a policy effectively banning transgendered people from serving in any arm of the military. According to CNN , the White House just announced a new policy, supposedly “developed through extensive study by senior uniformed and civilian leaders, including combat veterans,” according to press secretary Sarah Sanders. A Pentagon memo about the policy details that only service people who have been “stable for 36 consecutive months in their biological sex prior to accession,” and those who “do not require a change of gender” and troops who started serving under the Obama administration’s policy prior to the new memo are exempt from the new change. With everything going on in the nation, and hell, in his own personal life , it seems very strange that he’s so laser-focused on this. SMH. Getty
I feel like I’ve been doing posts on Kara Del Toro for years now, and even though she’s got a decent number of Instagram followers, she hasn’t become a household name like I originally predicted. Maybe that’s because you apparently have to have rich parents in order to become a famous supermodel these days, or because the Tuna Bump isn’t as effective as it used to be. Or maybe it’s because Kara is intentionally staying under the radar so she doesn’t get too famous to date yours truly. Yeah, it’s gotta be that last one. » view all 13 photos

Donald Trump, Jr. Affair With Aubrey O’Day Revealed Another day, another scandal for the sad reality show that is the current White House . Today’s saga involves Donald Trump’s oldest son, Donald Trump, Jr., his pending divorce to his wife of 12 years Vanessa, and how the President’s former reality show played a role in getting him some outside azz…namely that of former Bad Boy artist Aubrey O’day . As a friend close to Aubrey told Us Weekly , Donald, Jr. was selling the once-upon-a-time pop star all kinds of dreams while they were on the set of Celebrity Apprentice years back, and eventually charmed his way into her Danity Kane drawls while his pregnant wife sat at home none the wiser: “Things started up with Aubrey and Don Jr. toward the end of the taping. When it started, they were very serious all of a sudden. He told her it was over with his wife, that they were separated and he didn’t love her — all of that stuff…Aubrey fell for him hard. She thought they were going to be together for real.” This all took place around the end of 2011 and went on throughout the Winter. But fast forward to March 2012…and Junior supposedly changed his tune when his wife found e-mails between her husband and Aubrey, pretty much confirming their extramarital activities. Needless to say, he let Aubrey know she had to kick rocks while he mended fences with his wife and tended to his (then) three children. It doesn’t appear that anything further went on between Aubrey and Donald, Jr. after their brief affair, and he and his wife Vanessa went on to have two more kids. But something clearly tipped Vanessa off the deep end much more recently, as she filed for divorce just days ago. SMH. Of course, we’re doubting that Aubrey was his only dalliance over the years. Aubrey’s remained pretty mute on this one, but we’re guessing she’s a little embarrassed to have her ancient low business suddenly make national news. Getty
Florida Woman Murders Mother While On Hallucinogens 32-year-old Camille Balla is behind bars today after taking shards of glass to her mother’s eyes, killing her. 55-year-old Francisca Monteiro-Balla was found slashed to death, with cuts on her head, arms, chest, and stomach, along with her eyes, removed from their sockets, sitting on a nearby cardboard box. According to the Sun-Sentinel , a friend called authorities upon discovering Camille covered in blood in front of the house. When police arrived, Camille frantically told them “I killed my mother and I need help.” Camille swung between bouts of calmness and fits of screams and collapsing as she tried to explain what had happened leading up to her mother’s death. She revealed that she had smoked some marijuana shortly before the incident, which both she and deputies believe to have been laced with either Flakka or PCP, causing dangerous hallucinations that led her to an act of horrendous violence . She also kept screaming “I’m a murderer!” while medics tended to her own wounds from the glass. While searching the home, police found handwritten notes with semi-religious ramblings about cleansing the soul. SMH. After so many reports about the insane things hallucinogens can cause you to do to yourself and others…why on earth are people still experimenting with them? Getty
There are reality star feuds and then there’s the beef between Kim Zolciak and Nene Leakes , which is more akin to a nuclear war. You see, this isn’t just a simple case of two co-stars throwing shade at each other on social media. No, Nene and Kim keep raising the stakes, and it seems there’s no end to this bitter battle in sight. It all started when Kim’s daughter, Brielle Biermann, randomly claimed that Nene’s house is infested with roaches . Nene clapped back in a big way, claiming that Brielle is a racist who learned to hate from her mother: “Kim & her daughter whole family are racists! What her daughter did at my home… was racist, learned behavior etc,” Leakes wrote on Instagram, referring to Brielle’s roach post. “Kim is a calculating bipolar racist with a horrible mouth, who uses black folks for her come up.” Nene says she was led to the conclusion that Kim is a bigot by Brielle’s use of the term “roach”: “That word ‘roach’ just ain’t the word I needed to hear her saying,” Leakes said on this week’s episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta . “It sounds very racial when you are speaking to an African-American person and talk about roaches. Because people feel like you associated that with the ghetto or trash. Black people do not receive that very well.” Leakes went on to say that she may have exaggerated “out of anger,” but maintained that she still believes Kim harbors racist tendencies. “Do I believe Kim is a racist? Some of the things she has said would definitely make you go, ‘Hmmm,’” Nene remarked. Zolciak was so incensed that she sued Nene for saying she’s a racist. On last night’s episode, she revealed that the situation had deteriorated to the point that she received death threats “We’ve had to hire security. I’ve had people come to the gate at my house,” Kim told Sheree Whitfield. “She wants to pull the race card. That’s the devil, bitch,” she added. “She spent so many years trying to sabotage my name and I just let it roll. “Now you’re f–king with my kids? ‘The whole family is racist, prejudice?’ My whole family? There’s not a racist bone in my body. Not me, my husband, or my children see color. Never have.” Kim recently confirmed that she had her lawyers send Nene a cease and desist letter. Unfortunately, for Mrs. Zolciak-Biermann, it seems the document failed to have the desired effect: “I burned it up with a lighter,” Leakes said when asked how she responded to the missive. Something tells us this feud won’t be coming to an end anytime soon. Watch Real Housewives of Atlanta online to relive all the Kim vs. Nene drama.

Just minutes ago, Sex And The City star Cynthia Nixon has announced that she will attempt to unseat 2-time incumbent Andrew Cuomo as the governor of New York state. I love New York, and today I'm announcing my candidacy for governor. Join us: https://t.co/9DwsxWW8xX pic.twitter.com/kYTvx6GZiD — Cynthia Nixon (@CynthiaNixon) March 19, 2018 This will be no easy feat. Cuomo is a known quantity in the state and according to the NYTimes , he’s sitting on a $30 million war chest. Cuomo is trying to play it cool. He was quoted last week as saying: “I’m not nervous about whoever runs,” Mr. Cuomo said last week. “There’ll be people who run. That’s called elections, and that’s fine.” Despite her celebrity, Nixon is a woman in social climate that has shown willingness to champion women’s voices. Also of note, Cynthia is a member of the LGBTQ community, another demographic that is loud and proud. Tack on the fact the she is a white woman in a very liberal state and you can see that this will not be an easy race for conservative Cuomo.

F or months, Ben Carson has been in a media firestorm for his deeply unprofessional behavior at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Last month, he was accused in a lawsuit by Helen Foster of demoting her for not approving extravagant office renovations. Last week, Marcus Smallwood, the department’s director of records, wrote an email to Carson and other top officials, which was shared with The Guardian and read in part, “Helen Foster is not the only person at HUD that has been persecuted in this witch-hunt under your watch… She is the only person who has been brave enough to stand on principle and put her career, reputation, and livelihood on the line. The rest of us have operated in fear.” Plus, there is the n early $200,00 in office renovations, accusations of his family being too involved at HUD, emails proving he has lied and even reports of Carson using taxpayer money for private planes . Now, CNN.com lists Carson as number seven on Trump’s list of possible people he could fire, “The Housing and Urban Development secretary purchased — and then canceled — a $31,000 dining set for his work office. Why isn’t he higher on this list? Because Trump likes him — and the two went through the political wars together in 2016. I think that counts for something — maybe a lot — in Trump’s book.” Also, the White House was reportedly “ furious ” with how “the HUD communications shop handled” the luxurious dining set Although Trump should have never made Carson the secretary of HUD in the first place, firing him would not be far-fetched –and this is the same man who is reportedly considering firing his own daughter .
