After being dragged through sand, thrust underwater and soured by tomato juice over the course of “Free Agents,” Devyn‘s favorite wavy friend, Tamara, sadly passed after last week’s “Sausage Party” mission, and on tonight’s episode,… Read more
Still arresting minorities by the thousands over mary-crumbs … NYPD Continues Low-Level Marijuana Arrests Mayor DeBlasio promised that forces would no longer focus on low-level mary jane violations and prevent cops from pulling “stop & frisk” searches that clearly target minorities. But an NY congressman is pointing out that it’s all business as usual in NYC, and it’s sending more Blacks and Latinos to jail than anyone else. Via HuffPost : At a press conference outside One Police Plaza in Manhattan on Tuesday, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) pointed to recent data showing that thousands of New Yorkers are getting arrested for possessing pot, most of them minorities. “The new administration promised change, but instead we got more of the same,” Jeffries said, referring to Mayor Bill de Blasio’s campaign pledge to lower arrests for possessing small amounts of marijuana. Data released earlier this month from the New York state Division of Criminal Justice Services shows that from January to March, more than 7,000 individuals were arrested in New York City for possessing small amounts of marijuana, and 86 percent of them were black or Latino. That number of arrests, Jeffries said, puts New York City on track to have just as many low-level marijuana arrests in 2014 as it did in 2013, when nearly 29,000 New Yorkers were busted for low-level marijuana possession. The number of arrests in the first three months of 2014 are higher than they were in either of the last two three-month periods of Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s administration in 2013. The vast majority of marijuana arrests in New York City are for the lowest misdemeanor charge — criminal possession in the fifth degree — in which the arrestee either possessed less than two ounces of marijuana, or had the drug “in public view.” Since 1977, possession of less than 25 grams of marijuana — a little less than an ounce — has been decriminalized in New York state. Under the law, those caught with such a small amount of weed are subject to a $100 violation for a first offense. However, since the late-1990s, NYPD officers have been asking the hundreds of thousands of people they stop on the streets each year empty their pockets. In 2013, 85 percent of those people were black or Latino. When pot comes out of the pocket, it becomes “in public view,” thus allowing police to make an arrest for misdemeanor criminal possession in the fifth degree. Arrestees can face up to three months in jail, and a criminal record. SMH! Yes marijuana is illegal…but this system seems to be in place specifically to place (and keep) Black and Brown people in the justice system over trivial nonsense. What are your thoughts?
Which model is living that cougar life with Bizzle? Justin Bieber Hooks Up With 32-Year-Old Adriana Lima In Cannes Bieber is turning into quite the cougar-bait these days. Rumors are swirling that while in Cannes for the annual Film Festival, he made recently-divorced Victoria’s Secret model and MILF of two Adriana Lima a serious Belieber.

Kanye West surprised Kim Kardashian at the couple’s rehearsal dinner last night by bringing Lana Del Ray out to perform. But Lana Del Ray apparently surprised Kanye right back, arriving a bit late and forcing the rapper to kill some time… by gushing over his bride-to-be. “Kanye kept making the cutest remarks to her,” an onlooker tells Us Weekly. “He said, ‘It’s amazing to look around this room, there are so many talented people… ‘Kim’s way more beautiful than I am talented.’ It was so sweet — he said a couple adorable things like that.” The witness went on to say Kimye “seemed so happy.” The dinner took place at the Palace of Versailles, but today’s ceremony will go down at Florence’s Forte di Belvedere in Italy. Kim and Kanye will exchange vows in front of a huge wall of white flowers, a larger version of the present Kanye sent his fiancee to celebrate Mothers’ Day this year. Following the nuptials, guests will eat on a 70-meter-long marble banquet table – a gift from marble-craftsman Gualtiero Vannelli, courtesy of a quarry in Carrara – that had to be hoisted in pieces over the side of the fortress walls and put together inside. A huge dance floor, meanwhile, will be in the middle of the fort, while power generators (covered in drapes) will surround the area in order to ensure the party goes all night. Guests are expected to start arriving at 6 p.m. local time. Can you feel the excitement?!? Kim and Kanye in Vogue: See the Pics! 1. Kanye, Kim and North for Vogue Awww, what a loving family! Kanye West, Kim Kardashian and North West cuddle up here for Vogue.
