You Weren’t Tripping, Former ‘Sesame Street’ Writer Says Bert & Ernie Were A Couple

EST : Despite the former writer’s claims, Sesame Workshop released a statement saying Bert & Ernie were just best friends: “They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves. Even though they are identified as male characters and possess many human traits, and characteristics (as most  Sesame Street  Muppets do), they remain puppets and do not have a sexual orientation.” — Everything you thought you knew (or didn’t know) about Bert and Ernie on Sesame Street as a child has just been confirmed by one of the show writers: They were gay.   Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing! Please be sure to open and click your first newsletter so we can confirm your subscription. Email Submit Their tight chemistry makes sense now…   Mark Saltzman , who joined the writing team in 1984, said he wasn’t trying to push any agenda, but the two characters’ connection was inspired by his own same-sex relationship with film editor Arnold Glassman, according to Queerty.com . Mark was Ernie, and Arnold was Bert. If you remember, Bert & Ernie were roommates at the 123 Sesame Street apartment. They always slept in separate beds, but they also always went back and forth with each other like couples tend to do.   Saltzman, who was already with his partner before he became a Sesame Street writer, says he didn’t know else to write them, “but as a loving couple.” Follow @TheRSMS Saltzman on speculation around Bert and Ernie back in the day…   I remember one time that a column from ‘The San Francisco Chronicle,’ a preschooler in the city turned to mom and asked “are Bert & Ernie lovers?” And that, coming from a preschooler was fun. And that got passed around, and everyone had their chuckle and went back to it. And I always felt that without a huge agenda, when I was writing Bert & Ernie, they were. I didn’t have any other way to contextualize them. The other thing was, more than one person referred to Arnie & I as “Bert & Ernie.” Saltzman on ways Bert and Ernie’s scenes reflected his relationship… How could it not permeate? The things that would tick off Arnie would be the things that would tick off Bert. How could it not? I will say that I would never have said to the head writer, “oh, I’m writing this, this is my partner and me.” But those two, Snuffalupagus, because he’s the sort of clinically depressed Muppet…you had characters that appealed to a gay audience. And Snuffy, this depressed person nobody can see, that’s sort of Kafka! It’s sort of gay closeted too. The writer says his personal relationship embodied the Bert & Ernie relationship. “I wrote sketches. Arnie’s OCD would create friction with how chaotic I was. And that’s the Bert & Ernie dynamic,” he said.   Need a refresher on that dynamic?

According to TMZ , Frank wants his vocals removed from the Astroworld cut “Carousel” post f**king haste. It is said that Mr. Nostalgia Ultra is upset because his verse or vocals were somehow altered from what he originally recorded. There’s quite a bit of autotune used on his voice and pitch changes happen throughout his part. In any event, he ain’t feelin’ it. Frank is so angry over it he reportedly had his lawyers send Travis a threatening cease & desist order to have him taken off the track, but no dice. Travis is said to have no plans on removing Francis from “Carousel”. He likes it just the way it is and that’s that on that.

Blac Chyna Back On Cougar Crawl, Tags Teen Boxer In IG Post

Source: FayesVision/WENN.com / WENN Blac Chyna allegedly just broke up with her teenaged struggle rapper boyfriend YBN Almighty Jay , and apparently is ready to sink her cougar hooks into another baby-faced boo piece. Chyna tagged 19-year-old boxer Devin Haney in an Instagram post but quickly deleted yet the Internet is forever. Thanks to the quick eyes of blogs on the Internet, the loving shoutout from Chyna was screen capped and shared via social media. In the photo, Haney is seen stunting in a fresh white Lamborghini with Chyna captioning the photo writing “Hi Babe” while tagging his name. Haney, who turns 20 this November,  is a lightweight fighter out of San Francisco, California, is a rising boxer with 19 wins and no losses. He’s also connected with Floyd Mayweather Jr., and there are videos of the pair sparring and showing off their lightning-fast hand speed. As of now, all of this is speculation but if Chyna is out here crib-creeping, good luck to Haney. — Photo: WENN

White Hysteria Continues: Guy Calls Police On Man Eating A Burrito On The Train

Source: Piotr Marcinski / EyeEm / Getty Whoop whoop! Another White person acts as a police liaison for some ridiculous reason! Once again, the heat went down in the San Francisco Bay Area — this time on the BART train,  according to The Mercury News. A passenger was eating a burrito on the train, which was against the rules according to another fellow passenger. “The sign says no eating and drinking,” a man in a Hawaiian shirt says in a video. “You don’t get it. You must be stupid. I’ve seen people like you on TV.” The pressed passenger then gets up and walks to an intercom to call an officer. “We’ve got someone dining in the first car,” he says. “Eating on the train.” Meanwhile, the other passengers on the train seemed unbothered and they were doing what should be done in such a situation… MINDING THEIR BUSINESS. “You eat your burrito,” one unbothered customer says. “Enjoy that sh*t,” says another. You can check out the clip that was posted on Reddit below.   Smh. Well at least this time it wasn’t a Black person who risked facing the cops. To all the uptight wypipo out there… Relax, relate, release!

The Internet Is On #PermitPatty’s Neck After She Calls The Cop On Black Child For Selling Water

Source: Matt Cardy / Stringer / Getty First, we had #BBQBecky and now we have #PermitPatty, the latest white woman to not mind her business in California. When an 8-year-old girl was selling water bottles outside of her mother’s home in San Francisco, this strange woman decided to call the cops. Why? Because the little girl didn’t have a permit. Even worse, when she realized she could become the next Twitter meme, she attempts to hide from the cameras.   So my little cousin was selling water and didn't have a permit so this lady decided to call the cops on an 8 year old. #PermitPatty pic.twitter.com/SiL61pnAgl — Raj (@_ethiopiangold) June 23, 2018   So of course, Twitter is having a field day with her anyway. She’s been given the nickname #PermitPatty and the online roasts have been hilarious. Hit the flip for more.

R. Kelly Does Damage Control After He’s Seen On Video Saying It’s ‘Too Late’

Read more:

Y esterday, a video of R. Kelly  appeared online with the 51-year-old singer saying, “I’m handcuffed by my destiny. It’s too late. They should’ve did this sh*t 30 years ago. It’s too late. The music has been injected into the world.” It got worse. He then proposed a toast and said, “To all the strong m*therf*ckers in here right now. M*therf*ckers like you is why I still continue to do what I do, because I have a basketball mentality. As long as I’ve got the ball, the world is on defense.” Watch the video below: So, remember that I told you about that random Antoine Walker FB Live video with R. Kelly last night? Well, here is partially slurring Kels proposing a toast declaring “it’s too late” to #MuteRKelly pic.twitter.com/a45z7EDis2 — Exavier Pope (@exavierpope) May 18, 2018 Clearly,  the video is deeply disturbing and Kelly seems to be indicating that  it’s “too late” to catch him for his alleged crimes against women and young girls. However, according to TMZ, it’s all a big misunderstanding. “Kelly was simply celebrating with his pals — including former basketball player  Antoine Walker  — rather than bashing any of his accusers,” the gossip site says. “We’re told his ‘too late’ comment was in reference to those trying to silence him, like Spotify.” In reference to those trying to silence him? Wouldn’t that also mean his accusers? And isn’t his music being removed from Spotify as a direct result of the accusations? SEE ALSO:  #TimesUp for R. Kelly? Hopefully. Here’s How You Can Support the Movement To Hold The ‘Pied Piper’ Accountable In case you missed it, on May 10, after the #MuteRKelly hashtag went viral, Spotify removed Kelly ‘s music from all of their playlists under their public hate content and hateful conduct policy. Streaming service Pandora also agreed to no longer actively promote the 51-year-old’s music. However, according to the Associated Press reports, Kelly’s streaming numbers are “relatively” the same with some “small growth.” Obviously, Kelly’s team would try to explain this video because “They should’ve did this sh*t 30 years ago” sounds like an admission of guilt that could be used in court, which is relevant considering the endless lawsuits . Yet, after more than  24 years of allegations  against him, Kelly appears to be invincible.
