F lorida’s GOP party will likely have to lick their wounds after Andrew Gillum has begun fighting back against their attack ads. Gillum had reportedly issued a cease-and-desist letter to TV stations to stop airing messages from Rob DeSantis , his Republican opponent for the state’s governor race, after suspending his campaign amid Hurricane Michael . RELATED: Andrew Gillum Suspending Campaign Activity But For All The Right Reasons Gillum, the mayor of Tallahassee, had turned his attention to the tropical storm, which made landfall on Wednesday. However, he found himself on the receiving end of ads that criticized him for his handling of 2016’s Hurricane Hermine, which caused power outages in Tallahassee. The state’s GOP party had begun running the ads as Michael hit the ground, with DeSantis’ campaign being primarily responsible for the ads, Think Progress reported. Andrew Gillum's campaign for Florida governor has sent a cease-and-desist letter to TV stations airing his opponent's attack ad—all while the dangerous #TropicalStormMichael bore down on the state https://t.co/cWUQvVxngR — The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) October 11, 2018 It’s unusual for political candidates to continue campaigning during natural disasters, however, it’s not impossible. There have also been ads supporting DeSantis that continued to play on Wednesday, reaching residents within the hurricane’s ground zero. Gillum has called out the decision to air the ads at such a sensitive time and in the middle of a potentially life-threatening storm. “We can’t recall a time where candidates for statewide office have not pulled down negative ads during hurricane season,” the gubernatorial candidate said to MSNBC. “You’ve got a whole region of our state, where folks are fleeing for their lives, anticipating what is a life-threatening event impacting this state. I again would encourage my opponent to just subside with the politics.” Florida’s Republican Party decided to walk back the ads, they said on Wednesday, according to Politico . The decision, however, came after former Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administrator and Florida Emergency Management Director Craig Fugate asked the state’s candidates to stop running negative ads. Many in the nation have agreed that the focus should be on residents during Hurricane Michael, not on campaign ads.

Source: Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty Don’t ever try to play Niecy Nash . This is a lesson the folks behind the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic had to learn when they allegedly disinvited the Emmy-nominee to their annual event in Los Angeles last Saturday (Oct. 6). The Claws star took to social media to share that she was personally invited to the event at Will Rogers Polo Club by the founder of The A List, Ashlee Margolis , who hosts exclusive events for high end brands. But then all of a sudden, Niecy’s invitation was rescinded on the day of the A-list shindig. In a series of now-deleted tweets, she wrote the following: “My invite was rescinded bcuz I was the wrong caliber of guest,” she tweeted. “2x Emmy nominee. Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, #1 summer show Claws . NOT white. Let’s see who makes the cut… smh.” She also stressed that she’s boycotting the Veuve Clicquot brand all together. “I wouldn’t come to your event if you paid me. Wait u wouldn’t. I’m not white.” Not to undermine Niecy’s feelings or sentiment, but there were a few Black celebs at the event including “Lyft Bae” Kendrick Sampson , Rosario Dawson and Harold Perrineau. Nevertheless, we still want to know why her invite was snatched away. Was it because she wasn’t the “right kind” of Black celebrity? Veuve Clicquot, y’all got some explaining to do!

Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic Hate it or love it?! Blac Chyna Speaks On Her Rap Career With The Daily Mail After already telling DailyMailTV that she has zero regrets about her Rob Kardashian coupledom , Blac Chyna’s speaking on her potential rap career. The British publication’s dropped another tidbit from their interview with the reality star and in it, she’s speaking on a possible future spitting 16 bars. According to Chy, she’s earned her fame from hard work, not from the Kardashians considering she was already famous before she hooked up with Rob K. According to Chyna her success could be credited to herself and even Drake but NOT the Calabasas kickin’ it family. “I already was [a celebrity], even back in D.C., I took over that, went to Miami and I was a celebrity down there. Came to LA, same thing. I kind of ran all three states and I’m actually kind of proud of that.” SAF /SplashNews.com Chyna’s semi-correct here, she already had some clout from dating Tyga and for that Drake line; “Call up King of Diamonds and tell Chyna it’d be worth the flight” but her status shot up when she “fell in love” with Robby Rob. She also revealed to the publication that after that 2010 shoutout from Drake she “started doing all the music videos and the magazines” and eventually met Tyga. Now that Chy’s a certified star, she told DailyMailTV that she’s serious about starting a music career and has a small studio in her home. Not only that, she thinks it’d be super fitting to work with Drizzy considering his help with her career. “I’ve been working on some music,” said Chyna.” I never been the type of person to really coast. I just want to test all my boundaries to see if I can actually kind of do it. ‘My music is actually kind of fire. I have a little bit of singing, a little bit of rapping and I have a little love song.’ She added: ‘We are just testing it out right now. I’m not about to throw myself out there. [I want to] make sure everything is in line.’ SURE THING, SIS. Do you want to hear a Blac Chyna album???

Farrah Abraham went on Face The Truth and, when she tested positive for barbiturates , emphatically did not face the truth. In a new interview, Farrah continues to claim that the drug test somehow produced a false positive. She's also doubling down on her claim that Cheyenne shouldn't have been cast for Teen Mom , and that Bristol Palin is stalking her. Farrah Abraham sat down for an interview with Jenny McCarthy , because water will always find its level. “I literally did call my doctor because during my training I’m not allowed to have any of that in my system,” Farrah protests. As The Ashley notes, she is referring to her training for her November boxing match. “If something is in my vitamins, or my drink supplements, or something like that,” Farrah says. “I have to know about that.” As we all know, gummy vitamins come loaded with barbiturates. Breath mints are laced with coke. Chewing gum is basically just meth. (That's sarcasm, folks) “I’m high energy!” Farrah continues. “I can’t be relaxed when I’m doing all my workouts so I was very confused.” “So basically that was a faulty test…” Farrah claims. “It’s like, I’m a mom. I do very much know what I’m having.” Again, Farrah is spinning this as if people believe that she is taking barbiturates without realizing it . Then, she spins a theory. “It was like a pee test,” Farrah says. “I said that I was on my period but they took that as ‘hey, she must take a muscle relaxer or something.’” Farrah believes that she was set up: “It’s like they took advantage of information.” “I take nothing for anything,” claims the woman whom many feel should be medicated. “In real life, there’s nothing in my system.” They also address Farrah's belief that Bristol Palin is copying her, and Bristol saying that they're nothing alike . “That’s OK. I really like being like myself. I’m very proud of myself,” Farrah says. “I hope that she and her children equally have a good situation…” Farrah says, before saying: “But that’s like ‘white girl interrupted.’” That may be the funniest thing that Farrah has ever said. “She moved to the same city as me, kind of does the same things as me,” Farrah explains. “I don’t know what that is, but that’s a little scary!” “Oh, Single White Female ?” Farrah says when Jenny corrects her. “Either one! I don’t want any crazy stuff or people copying me or living where I live.” For the record, there are something like 950,000 people living in Austin. We suspect that none of them are there out of a desire to copy Farrah. “I never exploit my child,” Farrah claims. “I know what I’m doing and to value my daughter’s safety and for her own lifestyles and passions and careers.” Sophia is 9 years old, so careers is a weird choice of words. But that's what you'd expect from Farrah. Farrah defends Sophia's social media presence, saying: “All of the kids, and friends in her age group, are all doing the challenges, the Musicallys, all these fun apps.” Misical.ly is an app liked by younger Gen Z folks, though it has its creepy side. “Also, my daughter’s an influencer on some of these apps so if it’s all safe and it’s all fun,” Farrah explains. “I don’t see the need of someone attacking me.” Farrah also explains why she no longer speaks to her former co-stars on Teen Mom OG . “Sadly, because of all their jealousy and animosity or something, I have just turned my cheek and kept moving on,” Farrah claims. Farrah, who accused Viacom of committing hate crimes against her after she was fired, is portraying herself as Christ-like. “Running forward is the best thing to do from ‘Teen Mom.’ I wish them all well with all their new kids and pregnancies,” she says. Again, she talks about turning the other cheek and in the same breath cannot resist trying to shade them about having a lot of children and pregnancies. Farrah continues to insist that casting replacements for her was “not appropriate.” “I would say it’s not appropriate, for both Bristol and…the other woman who has joined,” Farrah says, pretending that she doesn't know Cheyenne's name. She explains that other women who tried out for Teen Mom were asked if they were fans of the show, and fans or “groupies” as Farrah calls them were excluded from casting. “I would say it’s inappropriate because, when you’ve been watching a show, and you know what it’s about,” Farrah begins. Farrah continues: “and have been hovering around for so long, I don’t think that’s authentic to what the show’s about.” “I feel like Cheyenne and this other person [Cory Wharton], who was on MTV, definitely collaborated,” Farrah theorizes. Farrah claims that they “had a child and knew there was a space open and could be on ‘Teen Mom.’” “Bristol, she’s been around,” Farrah says vaguely. “She’s been to public speaking engagements with Maci and I.” “I really feel like they’re in the same category as those women who were chosen not to be on the show because they were ‘Teen Mom’ fans,” Farrah has decided. “That’s the reason that I say what I say,” Farrah concludes. “It’s kind of a sad case.” Now, part of the reason Farrah went on Face The Truth in the first place was that she was having issues with her mother, Debra Danielsen. “I am definitely speaking with my mom,” Farrah affirms. In fact, Farrah notes: “She’s actually going to be at the fight November 10 in Atlantic City.” “If there’s anyone who can show me love, and if there’s anyone who can make me upset, it’s my mom,” Farrah explains. “I’m happy that she’s there because if I get all worn out,” Farrah says. “She can pump me back up again.” Since when has Farrah ever gotten tired of fighting?

Unbeknownst to many, the state of Georgia hit Quavo with a $14,000 tax lien. No worries, he paid it off—Takeoff still owes the same amount, though. Reports The Blast : According to official documents, the Georgia Department of Revenue filed a release of a tax lien against the rapper (real name: Quavious Marshall) that he was hit with in June. The lien accused Quavo of failing to pay up on a state tax bill totaling $14,055.06 he owed from 2016. The lien has been released and it is no longer enforceable, due to the debt being paid in full. His Migos bandmate, Takeoff, was also hit with a lien — the same day as Quavo — over a similar unpaid tax bill totaling $14,348.23. Takeoff’s lien is still enforceable, though. But does this mean that Offset was responsible and paid his taxes? — Photo: WENN.com
A week after Bristol Palin was welcomed to the Teen Mom OG family on last Monday's premiere , the famous mother of three decided to put an end to her own family. As it is currently constructed, that is. On an emotional follow-up episode, viewers received an up close and personal glimpse at the problems that plagued Bristol and husband Dakota Meyer to such an extent that they filed for divorce. These problems were largely related to Meyer's PTSD , but they ran deeper and were more pervasive than this single (major) issue. Scroll down for a recap of the latest Teen Mom OG installment, which centered on Palin and Meyer decided to divorce on national television… 1. Are You Okay? Bristol asked Meyer if he was in an okay state to discuss their marital issues, referencing the demons he still battles on a daily basis due to losing so many friends in combat as a Marine, before she delved into the reasons why she wants a divorce. 2. I’m Married, But I Feel So Alone “I was a single mom for a long time but being married, I’m more lonely now than I’ve ever been,” Palin explained to MTV producer Kerthy. “And I know that he’s probably more lonely now than he’s ever been. I think that we don’t know how to, like, coexist together at all.” 3. A Painful Admission Meyer was the only surviving member of his platoon during the war in Afghanistan, an unfathomable situation to anyone watching. He acknowledges that he can’t move on and that this has impacted everyone around him, saying on air: “It’s been tough. Ninety-nine percent of our problems in this family, in our marriage, is my anxiety and my PTSD whether you want to believe or justify it or not.” 4. We’re Better Apart “I fully take responsibility of becoming cold. And I am sorry. I’m sorry that I am that way, I don’t think you deserve to have a wife that’s that way and I want you to have a sense of peace,” Bristol said to Meyer. “I do feel like we are better people when we’re not together.” 5. Another Personal Failure Turning to the producer sitting with them, Kerthy, Meyer opened up and was honest about how this all made him feel: “Obviously, you know, Bristol doesn’t want to be together anymore. For me, I just get the same feeling that I do with my teammates, that I failed again and that I’m helpless again.” 6. This is NOT on You No, Bristol tried to tell Dakota, fully aware of how personally he takes things and all he has been though. “You’re not a failure, you’re not a failure at all,” she repeated.
