Killer Mike Says The Democrats Use Black Community Killer Mike is fed up! The Atlanta MC recently sat down with The Grio to discuss the recent political climate. According to Mike, the black community hasn’t really gotten the fair end of deal within the Democratic party. The Run The Jewels rapper made a very public run to help Bernie Sanders during the election but was burned by how the Dems treated the black community… Supporting Sanders left him with an even more bitter taste for the Democratic Party, which black people have overwhelmingly followed for decades now. “What has happened in the last 50 to 60 years of being Democrats,” he says, “is we’ve become almost like a neglected wife. We’re faithful. We vote over 80 to 90 percent Democratic and the larger party seems to care nothing about us. “Everyone brags that unemployment is down to 5 percent but that’s not true among African-American men,” he continues. “It’s not true among African-American youth, but we aren’t holding the feet to the fire of the people that we’re voting for.” What can the Democratic party do for you?

Chris Evans Is So Swirl-Worthy Actor Chris Evans is kind of the epitome of Captain America — which is good considering he plays the part. He’s one of our favorite people to follow on Twitter because, besides being super easy on the eyes, he is really into politics and will expose racism and hate whenever he has an opportunity. Just take for example, earlier today when white supremacist turned politician David Duke tried to call him out for being a self-hating swirler: Why does Chris Evans, who plays the Jewish inspired super hero, Captain America, hate the women of his people so much? #WhiteGenocide pic.twitter.com/nGjlf42wkG — David Duke (@DrDavidDuke) February 12, 2017 Listen though y’all, Chris Evans had NO time for the hate. He shut down Duke with this remarkably positive message. I don't hate them. That's YOUR method. I love. Try it. It's stronger than hate. It unites us. I promise it's in you under the anger and fear https://t.co/RGnH4rrblq — Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) February 13, 2017 He’s always been outspoken on Twitter, but since Trump was elected we’ve found Evans to be one of the voices of reason we can always count ont. Election night Evans tweeted this: This is an embarrassing night for America. We've let a hatemonger lead our great nation. We've let a bully set our course. I'm devastated. — Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) November 9, 2016 The day after the election Evans tweeted this: No more fear. Only hopeful optimism. I gonna let love be my guide. All my energy will now go towards protecting the rights of ALL Americans — Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) November 9, 2016 Check out some of his other great tweets on the flip
Monique Exposito Said DNA Test Proved Reggie Bush Fathered Her Baby Son The woman who allegedly gave birth to Reggie Bush’s baby said a DNA test has proven that he did father the tot, BOSSIP has learned. Monique Exposito gave birth to her son on Super Bowl Sunday, but rumors swirled over who her baby’s dad was after the baby, Preston Alexander Exposito, allegedly came out lighter than she expected. But BOSSIP can reveal that Exposito has allegedly told friends and family that Bush’s DNA test came back confirming that Bush is baby Preston’s daddy, and the Miami cocktail waitress said that she’ll be taking the Buffalo Bills player to the cleaners. She even bragged that she’d be set for life, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. A witness told BOSSIP that although Preston is light complexioned, his nose looks identical to his alleged famous father. Meanwhile, the mom of two just wrote on social media that she is “at peace” with herself and her behavior – despite those actions leading to an out of wedlock child and two marriages – both hers and Bush’s – hanging on by a thread. “At the end of the day my close ones know me and know what’s up, and I’m at peace with myself,” Exposito wrote on Instagram. The source said that Bush allegedly told Exposito that he wants nothing to do with raising baby Preston, but will provide for the baby financially. We’ve reached out to Bush for comment.
Adele and Beyonce may have dominated the Grammy Awards on Sunday evening. But while one of these singers swept the show's three biggest categories , and the other performed while pregnant with twins, neither took her pants off on stage. So neither were able to match the antics of Twenty One Pilots. But while Josh Dun and Tyler Joseph did, indeed, strip halfway down upon accepting the trophy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, they didn't do it just to make headlines. Nor did they do it as a joke or a lark or simply to make folks laugh. Joseph explained on stage that there was actually a sentimental reason behind why he and Dun were standing before millions of viewers in their underwear. “This story starts in Columbus, Ohio, and it was a few years ago,” Joseph said in his speech. “It was before Josh and I were able to make money playing music.” The friends were at home, watching the Grammys with some other pals, and… “As we were watching, we noticed that every single one of us was in our underwear. Josh turned to me and said, 'If we ever win a Grammy, we should receive it just like this.” So there you have it. Pretty cool, huh? “Not only is this amazing, but I want everybody who's watching at home to know that they could be next,” he concluded. We love it! Watch the duo accept their hardware and show off their legs below:
Josh Elliott was fired from CBS News on Monday following an unusual series of events that started on Friday when he resigned his post from the network’s digital channel. Which came as quite a surprise to his bosses. Elliott had served as CBSN’s lead daytime anchor for about a year, but he announced his emotional goodbye to viewers just prior to the weekend, saying it was his “last day” and adding: “It has been by any measure a great stay here at CBSN.” According to The New York Post, Elliott’s departure came as a shock to CBS executives, none of whom had any idea he was planning to leave the digital station. “This is a mess of epic proportions,” said a network source to Page Six. “Nobody at the top at CBS News knew that Josh was going to do that.” Insiders tell the publication that Elliott had recently sat and talked with Laurie Orlando, the network’s head of talent, who told him she wanted him to take on a bigger role at CBS News. “ “Then Josh announced his departure without warning,” explains the source. “Executives at CBS were stunned.” Sounds like quite the miscommunication, huh? Fast forward to Monday… and the axe coming down on Elliott’s CBS career. “Josh was called to a meeting with CBS News heads including [president] David Rhodes and fired. He was escorted out of the building by security,” writes Page Six. The source adds: “Meanwhile, Laurie Orlando, who seems to be responsible for much of this mess, is missing. Nobody has seen her. This is a mystifying situation.” Wait… what?!? Orlando is flat-out missing?!? Elliott seems to think that his executive producer is the one who messed up here, failing to alert higher-ups about his future at the network. “They totally bungled their own announcement,” says the source. “There was no communication.” The network has not confirmed the bizarre details behind Elliott’s departure, but the network did release a statement in regard to Elliott being let go. It reads: “CBS News and Josh Elliott are parting ways. Josh will no longer be reporting for CBS News. We are grateful for his contributions over the last year, and we wish him the very best in his future endeavors.” Elliott has now been fired by CBS, ABC and CBS. You probably got to know him as co-host at ABC’S Good Morning America. However, abruptly quit in 2014 after he was poached by NBC. And now he’s gotten himself into this scandal at CBS. Elliott joined CBS News in March 2016 in order to serve as the lead anchor for its digital news service CBSN. It was thought by many that that he was being groomed as a successor to Charlie Rose and was due to fill in for the news legend over the next several days, as Rose just underwent heart surgery. Alas. We’ll be curious to see what’s next for Josh Elliott.
Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra are the latest Teen Mom cast members to be hit with cheating rumors, thanks to a recent blind item. Is the “OG” pair on the verge of an infidelity-related split? A blind item on the site Crazy Days and Nights revealed: “The MTV cameras have turned a blind eye to the cheating by this significant other of an OG Teen Mom because it doesn’t fit in the storyline.” While infidelity might make for some incredible ratings and drama elsewhere, for MTV it was not a good fit “for this season for the couple.” Eventually, the couple was revealed as “Tyler/Catelynn.” We knew these two had been going through some tough times, especially lately, but wow. Who would have expected anything like this? The amazing part of this story is still to come, too … Lowell responded to the rumor by apparently confirming it: “Well since it’s out in the open @TylerBaltierra did cheat on me. He’s busted.” Tyler added: “Damn it! We really tried keeping that a secret too! Well I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist her/him … idk it was dark and I was drunk.” If that sounds like a joke … it is. They’re not serious. The mom of Novalee, 2, later posted a selfie with the caption, “Much love and a big #F**koff to the haters, but sooo much love for my lovers.” While the cheating rumor may be overblown or false – it’s not clear how the blind item got planted in the first place – their struggle is real. Lowell has entered rehab to battle her depression and anxiety, and her husband has come across as less than understanding at times. “You know what Cate? You better figure something out,” he said. “Listen, if you go into this thing again I got to check out. I’ll get hardened.” “I’ll close everyone off. It’s safe that way.” Lowell then cried, “I feel like my mental illness ruins everything!” Tyler’s response to that: “I can’t do this forever, there is no way, not like this.” Incredibly, the cheating blind item comes on the heels of a separate report this weekend suggesting Catelynn Lowell is pregnant again. She posted a meme using a classic TV ad featuring old people falling over, with the text “When people ask me when I’m having another baby.” In her caption, she added “For real tho.” Lowell has talked about having another, so it wouldn’t be a big stretch … though she also used the hashtags “someday” and “not yet.” Catelynn turns 25 next month, too, so she and Tyler have plenty of fertile years remaining if they really want to have a bigger family. They’ve talked about trying for at least one more in hopes of having a boy, and calling it quits after that … or trying again if that fails. We just hope they’re on steady ground at this point. Tyler has made no secret that he’s desperate to have a son (after two daughters), but the guy should worry most of all about his marriage. We hate to say it, but it’s probably a good thing she’s not pregnant right now, given her recent and terrible fight with postpartum depression. View Slideshow: Teen Mom & Teen Mom 2: The Complete Babies and Children Guide! PPD is no joke. Even after rehab, the impact remains. She obviously still has issues with mental health, Tyler has problems coping with it, and little Nova requires every ounce of their strength. That’s a concern, and they’re not out of the woods. Given everything they’ve been through, dating back to their teen years, it’s amazing Cate and Ty are doing as well as they have been. Perhaps taking a step back to work on themselves, together and individually, would ensure that we’re still talking about them in 10 years. We’re pulling for these two. Every day.

Like Kylie Jenner before her, Ariana Biermann comes from a family that’s not shy about cashing in by showing a little skin. And like Kylie, she can’t really be blamed for thinking following in the family readition is the best way to carve out a career path for herself. However, while Kylie’s daily racy selfies didn’t start until she was at least nearing the age of consent, Ariana is posting what many fans feel are wildly inappropriate pics at the tender age of 15. Yes, it’s one thing when we see Brielle Biermann bikini photos racking up the likes on Instagram (even though Brielle is still in her teens herself). It’s quite another when her younger sister who’s not even of driving age decides to follow in her footsteps. Not surprisingly, Ariana’s followers are divided in their response to the photos. Some say she’s wearing what any young woman would wear at the beach. Others say she probably shouldn’t be showing so much skin on social media. “Sad. 15 and your IG is following the direction of your mother and sister. You’re smarter than flaunting body hair makeup and a phony facade,” wrote one commenter, adding: “Show us brains college goals and normal 15 yr pictures. Be you. Not your fake, crude mother and ding dong sister.” “Nooooo! I thought that Arianna was going to be different and became a doctor or lawyer!..How sad!!..Was looking forward to seeing what a difference she can make in this world!” another wrote. Of course, many of Ariana’s fans defended her photos, as well, with one commenting: “Your [sic] a beautiful young lady & don’t let them get you down. Parents are being so negative. She is on the beach in a bathing suit. What is she supposed to where [sic] a bag?” This isn’t the first time that the teen has found herself embroiled in controversy. Last year, fans noticed that Ariana’s lips seemed to have gotten unnaturally plump, sparking a debate as to whether or not it’s appropriate for such a young woman to undergo cosmetic surgery. Like we said, the girl really has quite a bit in common with Kylie Jenner. The two of them should probably ditch their families and star in their own reality show.
