Meghan King Edmonds stars on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. And we say this with no disrespect nor any judgment of any kind, really, but… … it may very well be the whitest show on television. Each week, this Bravo series just pits one spoiled rich white woman against each other, as one First World Problem after another is discussed and dissected in nauseating detail. Doesn’t mean the program isn’t entertaining. It’s just… very white. This likely explains the outcry by some on the Internet in response to Edmonds being featured on the latest cover of Latina Magazine. The reality star, who is pregnant with her second child , at least seems to recognize that she isn’t the typical main subject of this particular publication. First, she shared the following image on Instagram: Then, she included the following caption along with it. “I’m so proud and honored to be on the cover of @latinamagazine1 and represent @glamarella_jewelry!” wrote the cable network personality, adding: “I loved doing this shoot right after I found out I was pregnant! No, I’m not Latina but I was asked to be on the cover and talk about my life and #RHOC in the cover story so I guess I’m blessed to be an honorary Latina this month! “(By the way, big shout out to my husband for my engagement ring that got a front and center shot!)” Ah yes, an “honorary Latina.” It’s safe to say this cover shoot and this phrase didn’t sit well with readers of the magazine. “Dressed up the nice white lady to look like a Latina for Latina magazine because?” wrote one dissatisfied Internet user. “This is the same as black facing only for Latinas now! What a fail.” Not exactly, of course. It would maybe the same if Edmonds’ skin was darkened or she was wearing a sombrero or something. But general point still taken. Other critics laid into Latina for putting “white privilege” on display, while another person chimed in with: “This is beyond disappointing and such a slap in the face to the ENTIRE community. Shame on you!” This magazine does consistently feature prominent Latinas such as Demi Lovato, Jennifer Lopez, Paulina Rubio, Jessica Alba, Shakira, Eva Longoria, Salma Hayek, Eva Mendes, Christina Aguilera, Naya Rivera, America Ferrera and even Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. The November 2015 issue featured girl group Fifth Harmony, whose three out of five members are Latinas, marking the first time two non-Latinas were featured on the cover of the magazine. So this was a trend that started a couple years ago. What do you think of this supposed scandal? Do the haters have a point? Or should everyone be okay with Latina diversifying its cover subjects a bit?

Jennifer Lopez was cast as the Guess? Girl and anyone from the 90s, back when J.Lo was a hot new thing to Hollywood, before she trolled the fuck out of everyone and remained a hot new thing for 4 fucking decades has somehow managed to live out a dream she had when she was Mall-Ratting in Jersey in the 90s looking at all the hot girls they cast saying to her white friends in her hispanic accent “one day that will be me”…and that day has come, but you won’t because unlike all the other Guess? Models she’s a grandmother, old, monster…who we hope gets taken out like she was Anna Nicole…a Guess? Model who matted… I mean this is some sort of viral prank, or J.Lo bought it and has the power to pull off her pranks cuz she’s J.Lo…but it’s a solid sign that Guess? is building off nostalgia that should be forgotten… The post Jennifer Lopez is a Guess? Girl of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .
Benny Medina Accused Of Attempted Rape Hollywood heavy hitters are falling from grace one by one as folks reveal the sexual harassment, misconduct, and even assault they’ve faced from them over the years. Now, Hollywood mogul Benny Medina, best known for managing Will Smith , Mariah Carey, and Jennifer Lopez is being exposed for an alleged incident of attempted rape that took place back in 2008. Actor Jason Dottley tells The Advocate that he and another actor, both popular on the LGBT scene for a show they had appeared on for Logo TV, attended a gathering at Benny Medina’s home. He instantly offered them a tour of the house…and while Dottley’s friend took a dip in the pool, Medina led Dottley to his bedroom: “There was no ‘Do you want to see my bedroom?’ We literally got to the door and he grabbed me by the chest of my shirt and threw me onto his bed. Now I’m 6 foot tall and was 155 pounds, and this is a stocky strong man. We all have these things playing in our heads of what would we ever do if someone ever tried to do something, and none of my preplanned motions would work.” He says Medina thrust his tongue in his mouth, and completely ignored his pleas to stop. “Stop. I’m married. What are you doing?” he says he asked, pointing out his wedding ring. However, Medina didn’t care, telling him “I’m having you and putting his forearm on Dottley’s neck while binding his legs with his thighs so he’d stop resisting. He says he cried and begged for him to stop, but Medina simply told him “I’m having you! Oh, I will have you…” as he overpowered him. Thankfully, his friend jumped out of the pool to see where everyone had gone, and found them in the bedroom in the nick of time. He told Medina to get off of Dottley, and Medina told them both to get the f**k out of his house. SMH! The way things are going these days…who knows if there will be even more Medina stories to trickle in now that one has broken their silence? Getty
When you hear the name “Harry,” do you think of Harry Potter, Harry Styles, or Prince Harry? Or do you just think that maybe Britain should find some new names? At the moment, though, we’re talking about Harry Styles. And unfortunately, we’re not talking about the international heartthrob’s music or hair. We are once again talking about sexual assault. This time, it was Harry Styles who was groped — directly in the crotch. And the unacceptable incident was caught on video. You would think — or hope , at least — that with all of the discussions of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assaults and his long history of accusations of sexual harassment, it would impact people’s behavior. We don’t just mean studio executives and actors deciding against one-on-one meetings in hotel rooms (not uncommon in the industry, even for innocuous reasons, but something that might need to change). We mean everyday, regular folks. Those #MeToo stories weren’t all just actresses — many of them were from office workers, artists, baristas, stay-at-home moms, etc. For whatever reason, there are people in this world who feel that they are entitled to touch someone else’s body without their consent. Sexual harassment takes many forms, from catcalling to inappropriate workplace flirtations when there’s a wildly imbalanced power dynamic. (Newsflash: the checkout girl does not think that dudes twice her age are hot; she smiles because being polite is literally part of her job) But while there are a few cases where we can see a “gray area” where someone misread some cues and truly didn’t intend to harass someone, the vast majority of the time, sexual harassment is easy to recognize. When it comes to groping, though, there are no excuses. If you don’t have someone’s consent, you do not get to touch their genitals without their consent. That’s not complicated and we all know it. And yet … this sort of thing happens. And it even happens to men. To famous men, like Harry Styles. Harry Styles has enjoyed massive, global popularity on an exceptionally rare scale. We’d say that he was the most thirsted-after member of One Direction … right up until Zayn Malik took that spotlight. (Honestly, a big part of that was the hair — Harry looked more distinctive and interesting with his long hair, which is extra important when you’re a group of twinks but you wnat people to be able to tell you apart. It’s no coincidence that Zayn grew out his own hair) We should disclose that Niall Horan was always more popular in Ireland and, as we understand it, remains more popular in ireland. Like, not ironically — there are Irish pubs with framed pictures of him on the wall. Harry Styles’ admirers have included big-name celebrities like Jennifer Lopez . Obviously, Harry Styles dated Kendall Jenner … for a very short while. More famously, Harry Styles and Taylor Swift dated and he made it into a number of her songs — most famously, into “Style.” Because … obviously. But no amount of handsomeness or thirst or whatever can justify what happened over the weekend. Harry Styles isn’t the only man whose crotch has been grabbed. Terry Crews was sexually assaulted by an executive, in the middle of a room with other people. The executive walked over and grabbed his genitals through his pants, openly groping him with no apparent fear of repercussions. It was important that Terry Crews share that story, because sometimes it takes seeing a strong man confess why he was afraid to come forward sooner for some misogynistic people to wake up to why countless women feel that same fear. (Also, this happening to Terry Crews should be the absolute end of the disgusting “why didn’t you fight back” question that women are asked — because there are so many reasons, including fear that fighting back will lead to their deaths) Harry Styles, in the video below, gets his crotch groped by a fan. He handles it well, but that doesn’t make it okay. Harry Styles played the Hollywood Bowl over the weekend. This happened on Saturday night. A number of fans are touching him, but he looks visibly upset for a brief moment as he bats away the groping hand. He abruptly stands up and continues, but we have to wonder — has this happened to him before when he gets close to fans? We know that concerts are very exciting, especially for young people who still have so many feelings, and all of those hormones stirring things up. But that’s not an excuse for grabbing someone’s genitals, like in the video that you’re about to see. We give stars a hard time for groping fans without their consent. It’s only fair that we do the same for terrible fans who take advantage of their idols. Anyway, if you have a strong stomach, here’s the video. Harry Styles is a real person with real feelings, folks. He deserves better.

Hurricane Harvey was a Category 4 storm when it first made landfall in Texas. We have all seen the photos of the flooding. We've seen highways that have flooded so high that the water above them has waves. We've seen people standing on rooftops, people riding boats between houses, and heard the horrifying stories of people who were swept away by the water. Celebrities have heard this, too, and they have been using their considerable platforms and their own personal resources to help with the relief effort. As climate change continues to destabilize what were once more temperate weather patterns, these “500 year storms” will be coming more and more frequently. Many believe that we need a better coordinate governmental response when these disasters strike. It's good to hear stories of private citizens acting as heroes, but it's better if they never have to. In the mean time, however, boat owners have been taking time off of work and traveling with their boats towards Texas where they hope to help distribute supplies and reach people who are still stranded. Celebrities are donating money to the relief effort, but some stars are doing even more. 1. JJ Watt JJ Watt’s relief fundraiser had an initial goal in the six digits. It has currently raised over $10 million and the amount continues to clim as donations pour in. 2. Jennifer Lopez and Alexander Rodriguez J Lo and A-Rod have each donated $25,000. They have also used their celebrity status to encourage their followers to donate to the Red Cross. 3. DJ Khaled In addition to sending his prayers to the people of Houston, DJ Khaled has also donated $25,000 to aid those ravaged by Harvey. 4. Nicki Minaj Nicki Minaj announced that she was donating $25,000 when she shared Kevin Hart’s message. 5. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Dwayne Johnson donated $50,000 and shared Kevin Hart’s plea. 6. Kevin Hart Kevin Hart is said to be the first major celebrity to donate, putting up $50,000. He’s also encouraged other celebrities to do the same. View Slideshow
Jennifer Lopez is in a bikini for GQ…and the whole world doesn’t give a fuck because she’s 50 fucking years old…but then I remember she’s J.Lo and has made a deal with the devil…and has secured her celebrity with a loyal audience who I guess think she’s hot and care about what she’s up to because they are drones and were brainwashed or are Puerto Rican and see her as a beacon of hope that other Puerto Ricans can come up from the lower middle class immigrant parents, exploit that, play the Jenny from the Block, to keep some level of street cred, even though it’s all candy-coated hollywood bullshit…I guess 40 year old bitches also look at her and her photoshopped as as a beacon of hope…the first famous fat ass…that I wasn’tinto at the time…but as it ages, it gets better, even if I find J.Lo irritating and the world is more about fat asses…it is like visiting a museum exhibit…and I can appreciate history… The post Jennifer Lopez in Bikini of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .
