Source: Splash News / Splash News Bill Cosby Moved To General Population Contrary to popular belief, Bill Cosby is not bicking back and booling in a special area of the Pennsylvania prison where he’s currently serving three to ten years for sexual assault. According to reports, the legally blind 81-year old has been moved to general population and is now in a single cell without a cell mate. State corrections spokeswoman Amy Worden told CNN that Cosby is being “treated just the same as any other inmate. Worden added that inmates there can spend several hours a day in the gym library, class or day room and that Cosby has inmates assigned to help him at times, given his age and disability. The fallen legend has already spent about four months in special housing as he adjusted to the SCI-Phoenix prison in suburban Pennsylvania. Welp.
Source: Ivan Nikolov/WENN.com / WENN Ariana Grande is super proud of her new single “7 Rings,” despite what Soulja Boy and 2 Chainz have had to say about the pop star stealing their pretty boy trap house swag for the song and visual, respectively. In case you missed it, Big Soulja hit Twitter to confront Ariana about jacking his flow, then 2 Chainz hit Instagram to “figure out” if he “should Big Draco” Ariana after she pretty much copied his infamous Pink Trap House for her video set. You would think she would stop there…but nope…and now she seems to be paying for it. The singer made headlines after revealing a new tattoo earlier this week… she got “7 Rings” in Japanese, or so she thought. Social media was quick to point out a huge error—and long story short, her tattoo actually translated to “shichirin,” a small charcoal grill. Hilarious right? Taking to Twitter in an attempt to trivialize her mistake, she wrote “Indeed, I left out ‘つの指,’ which should have gone in between. It hurt like f*ck n still looks tight. I wouldn’t have lasted one more symbol lmao. But this spot also peels a ton and won’t last so if I miss it enough I’ll suffer thru the whole thing next time.” Adding, “also….huge fan of tiny bbq grills.” But it doesn’t end there…apparently after trying to get her tattoo fixed, Ariana f*cked up again. Uploading a photo of what she believed to be new and improved ink to her Instagram Story, she wrote “Slightly better. thanks to my tutor for helping me fix and to @kanenavasard for being a legend. and to my doctor for the lidocaine shots (no joke). rip tiny charcoal grill. miss u man. i actually really liked u.” But… Why… how… now Ariana’s tattoo reads “Japanese BBQ finger” pic.twitter.com/zC2LxSKJtI — Eimi Yamamitsu | 山光瑛美 (@eimiyamamitsu) January 31, 2019 Buzzfeed Japan news reporter Eimi Yamamitsu claims the tat is still incorrect. “Why… how… now Ariana’s tattoo reads ‘Japanese BBG finger’” she hilariously tweeted . Of course, social media was quick to drag the hell out of Ariana . “I still have a hard time understanding why ANYONE would get a tattoo in a language they don’t speak/aren’t connected to through heritage or even location. Literally what is the point? Y’all can defend Ariana Grande all you want but she low key dumb af” – @arikvash “ariana fucking up her tattoo shows why you shouldn’t use a language as an aesthetic this is humiliating” – @jksdaydream “ariana grande getting an incorrectly google translated tattoo in japanese is karma for trying to user another culture as an accessory. imagine tattooing bbq grill onto ur hand omg…” – @chromegens But also, people want to know if Ariana’s hand was photoshopped because… Tattoo aside…was this pic facetuned or does ariana not have fingerprints/hand lines pic.twitter.com/2Vg53OPT4J — Veronica de Souza (@HeyVeronica) January 30, 2019 Welp.

It should come as no surprise that Nick Sandmann and his a-hole cronies who jeered and mocked Native American elder Nathan Phillips are getting the royal treatment from not only right-wing cable news, but also from 1600 FUBAR Ave. in Washington, D.C. EXCLUSIVE on the new #LauraIngrahamPodcast — the Covington Catholic students threatened by the leftist internet mob will be meeting with @realDonaldTrump at the White House as early as tomorrow. @iTunes @PodcastOne — Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) January 22, 2019 Looking like Nick Sandman & Covington Catholic students were treated unfairly with early judgements proving out to be false – smeared by media. Not good, but making big comeback! “New footage shows that media was wrong about teen’s encounter with Native American” @TuckerCarlson — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 22, 2019 Nick Sandmann and the students of Covington have become symbols of Fake News and how evil it can be. They have captivated the attention of the world, and I know they will use it for the good – maybe even to bring people together. It started off unpleasant, but can end in a dream! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 22, 2019 It appears that the school and the kids’ parents are putting their sons out on the trail to do some incredibly insulting PR work in conservative spaces like Trump’s favorite morning show, Fox & Friends . According to The Daily Beast , senior Sam Schroder asked about wearing Blackface, peep his reply: “Five years ago, there was a pep rally where one of the members of the school body appeared to have blackface on. People have even asked you to explain that. How do you explain that?” Schroder, wearing a white button-down shirt and a blue striped tie, said: “I just explain it as showing school spirit. We have many themes. Like nerd, business, whiteout, blueout, blackout—as you’ve seen in the video. Ever since I’ve gone to CovCath, we haven’t been able to wear black paint because of the video, but I know the kids meant nothing by it, it’s just showing school spirit.” Steve Doocy asks a CovCath kid about others wearing blackface at basketball games, and he says since he’s been there “we haven’t been able to wear black paint because of the video, but I know the kids meant nothing by it, it’s just showing school spirit.” pic.twitter.com/rbuO5CKIts — Bobby Lewis (@revrrlewis) January 23, 2019 Blackface is as much about school spirit as KKK hoods are for keeping warm during negro-dragging horseback rides on a bitter cold night. FOH, cr-…soup cookie. We highly suggest you read a very insightful Newsone piece about how these kids are being treated versus how Black kids who are considered “threats” are treated.
B lack women are continuing to break major racial barriers in the realm of academia. According to the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education , Kimberly Mutcherson was recently selected to become the dean of Rutgers University’s law school. “I care a lot about doing work that is not just for other legal scholars, but has the potential to be meaningful in people’s lives,” says new @RutgersLaw Co-Dean Kimberly Mutcherson ( @ProfessorMutch ) in a feature in @PhillyInquirer . Read: https://t.co/JsQ12kwwWw — Rutgers Law (@RutgersLaw) January 11, 2019 Mutcherson’s historic appointment is one of many firsts, the news outlet writes. She is the first woman, the first Black person and the first LGBT individual to serve in this role. Mutcherson started her journey at Rutgers 17 years ago as an assistant professor. She then moved up the ranks and in 2015 was named vice dean of the New Jersey-based university’s law school. Mutcherson—who earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania and a juris doctorate degree from Columbia Law School—has conducted research surrounding reproductive justice. During her career she’s worked with the Center for Reproductive Rights and the HIV Law Project. “I am thrilled to be able to continue my service to Rutgers law as co-dean,” said Mutcherson, according to the Philadelphia Tribune . “I know that our institution has a very bright future and will continue to provide a high-quality legal education and produce lawyers who change the profession and the world for the better.” Rutgers University-Camden Chancellor Phoebe A. Haddon said that Mutcherson will play an integral role in building upon the momentum and energy at Rutgers Law. “She is passionate about the value of a legal education that prepares creative thinkers who are ready to be leaders in virtually every aspect of our society. She sees with clarity the role of the law in protecting individual rights” said Haddon. Mutcherson started her new role on January 1. Her appointment comes just months after Olivette Otele made history by becoming the first Black woman history professor in the UK after being selected to teach at Bath Spa University.

Despite his efforts to throw out the conviction, sentence, and judge , Bill Cosby remains in prison. Now that Cosby’s sex tape evidence is public knowledge, he may be more afraid than ever that this prison sentence is just the beginning. In a new phone call, Cosby sounds like he has totally lost his mind. He is paranoid and he compares himself to Jesus. RadarOnline reports that Bill Cosby is making bizarre outbursts from behind bars. The disgraced former comedian is now known as Inmate No. NN7687. In a phone call that RadarOnline obtained, Cosby says some truly outlandish things. “They’re using sonic pressure on my head!” he exclaims. In the phone call obtained by the tabloid, he claims that he believes that he is being possessed by the ghost of his deceased mother. And that’s not the only super weird thing that he’s been saying. Cosby believes that officials at Pennsylvania’s SCI Phoenix state prison are plotting against him or have it out for him. He also claims that he “saved” the women whom he is accused of having heinously assaulted. On top of everything, he is bragging about his intelligence. And maybe he was feeling in a Christmas spirit, because he mentions Jesus. Unfortunately, it was to compare himself to Jesus. That is not going to go over well. Let’s start with Cosby’s apparent paranoia about prison employees. There have been real cases of prison guard misconduct, but that is … not what he is describing. “I think they have some kind of eye in the cell,” Cosby claims. “Every time I start writing it goes up higher to see it.” “I think the mirror is rigged,” he then announces. “There is a huge satellite on the compound.” Cosby theorizes: “Their plan is to make me look totally crazy, so nobody believes anything I am saying!” That sounds more than a little nuts. And then he delves into the more than 60 women who accuse him of sexual assault. “I have empathy for those women!” Cosby insists. “I have understanding for the women.” “I saw what they were struggling through,” he continues. “Did I put those women in a garbage can?” Cosby asks. “Your society put them in the garbage!” According to RadarOnline , Cosby says: “I picked them out of the garbage and helped them!” That almost sounds like a confession, if a heinous one. Then Cosby discusses his smarts. He insists that he knows “more about the economy, more about money, more about the government than all the presidents combined.” At the risk of treading into contentious political waters, does that sound similar to the ramblings of a certain orange man, by any chance? And then, while many households still have Christmas trees up, he compares himself to Jesus. “You don’t take human life like this, and sabotage it, and rip it apart like Jesus Christ!” Cosby reportedly exclaims. He then says: “Now I know what Jesus was going through!” He also predicts some sort of vengeful apocalypse . His insistence that he is some sort of martyr and the victim of a conspiracy continues. “[The cops and judges] are to blame,” he accuses. “I lost my f–king life. I couldn’t get a fair trial! They sabotaged my ass!” “They’re all inhumane living bastards,” Cosby continues. “And they’re going to get nuked in the end!” Yikes. Yikes. Yikes. This is not a good look and it sounds like he has totally lost his mind. Prison can be hell on anyone’s mind, even the guilty, and especially an 81-year-old man. Is Cosby really as off his rocker as he sounds in this phone call? It is always possible. That said, some worry that he is deliberately jabbering in an effort lay groundwork for an escape from prison . After all, if his attorneys come forward with evidence that their client is mentally unwell, they could try to move him to a psychiatric facility. That is … something to consider. Cosby is really, really not enjoying his time in prison. View Slideshow: Bill Cosby: A Look at His Life Behind Bars

Source: Bill Pugliano / Getty Nuns Accused Of Embezzling From Catholic School For Gambling A shocking story about two Pennsylvania nuns is going viral. CBS Philadelphia reports that the ladies allegedly took $500,000 from St. James Catholic School to spend on trips and gambling at casinos while telling parents the school was operating on a shoestring budget, officials and parents said. The nuns in question were Sister Mary Margaret Kreuper, and Sister Lana Chang, who both had retired earlier this year. CBS reports that they were investigated for being “involved in the personal use of a substantial amount of school funds.” Sister Mary allegedly confessed to authorities immediately. Both ladies have since expressed remorse and the church is not pursuing criminal charges.
