Kanye West met with Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Thursday, October 11. Reporters were on hand to document to totally ridiculous event, too, which included Kanye rambling about how much money he makes… how unfairly citizens treat the President… and why the 13th amendment really should be abolished . (This is the amendment that calls for the permanent end to slavery.) It was quite a spectacle. And, as we summarize below, it even left President Trump speechless… But there was one part of this meeting that Kanye may regret. It wasn't anything he said to the Trump, despite how utterly insane and ignorant the rapper sounded during his 10-minute rant in front of the cameras. Instead, it was the time he accidentally revealed his iPhone password to the entire world. Really. This happened. After rambling about such topics as bipolar disorder, “male energy,” Superman, alternate universes and the Unabomber, West said he wanted to show the President a photo. It was off the type of plane he believes the Commander-in-Chief ought to fly in. “This right here is the iPlane 1. It’s a hydrogen-powered airplane, and this is what our president should be flying in. Look at this, Jared,” he said, hilariously showing the picture to Jared Kushner. Trump, evidently impressed, responded, “We’ll get rid of Air Force 1.” But here's the thing: In order to get to the snapshot on his phone, Kanye had to type in his password. And SportsNet New York’s Kenny Ducey was able to zoom in and get a close-up of West as he pulled out the piece of technology and typed in his secret number… … which is not to secret anymore. Watch the very brief video featured on this page to learn the password!
Disgraced former NBC host Matt Lauer has been threatening to return to television , to the horror of many. But things aren’t going so well for him on the home front. Lauer’s wife has wanted him out of the house since January. It looks like she has finally, finally gotten her wish. InTouch Weekly reports that Matt Lauer is no longer living in the family home — at the insistence of his wife, Annette Roque. “Annette officially kicked Matt out of the house,” the insider announces. We’ve already heard that Lauer is furious about the $50 million divorce , in part because he wanted to make things work. So this has to sting. The source adds: “They were both staying in separate wings of the Sag Harbor home.” This, in classic rich people style, was “where they were living in with the kids.” “This,” the insider reveals. “Was their arrangement ever since Matt had been fired from the Today show.” Finding out that your husband is a serial cheater is one thing. Learning that he’s an accused sexual predator is another. “But Annette finally gave Matt a deadline,” the source explains. “And,” the insider continues, Annette “told him that he had to be out of the house by the day the kids start school.” “So he’s out,” the source states. In case you missed that bit about the divorce costing him $50 million, Lauer is no pauper. Being kicked out has not rendered him homeless. “He is staying in a property close to their main house in the Hamptons,” the insider says. There are reportedly some strict rules on when he can return to the family residence, where their three children reside. “He is only allowed in the main house when Annette isn’t there,” the source notes. “He goes to pick up the kids from school and / or pick them up from school and take them home,” the insider reports. “But that’s it.” it sounds like Annette does not even want to see his face — which is how many of his former fans feel after all that they’ve heard. “He’s not allowed to step into the house when she is there,” the source says. For a while, it seemed like the two of them were going to try to make it work and live in a sham marriage for the sake of their children. That ship has long since sailed. “She’s made that very clear,” the insider affirms. “The kids live with Annette,” the source notes. The insider continues: “She’s the main caretaker.” That makes sense. She’s not just their mother — she’s their parent who isn’t accused of being a rapist and general sex monster. She’s probably a better role model. “Matt loves them and is very involved in their lives,” the source reports. “But,” the insider clarifies. “They are living in the main house.” We should note that it was reported last April that Matt Lauer was kicked out of the house . It is possible that the report was in error. Sometimes, it is difficult to know which report is true and which is not without confirmation. It is also possible that he was kicked out and then begged his way back in. Lauer is said to be very concerned with his public image, and some believe that he is operating under the delusion that he can make a comeback. Whatever happened with his living situation back in April, it sounds like he and Annette are living in truly separate houses now. View Slideshow: Matt Lauer: A Timeline of Terrible Behavior
More bad news this morning for the long-suffering Giudice clan of This Real Housewives of New Jersey fame. As you may recall, “Juicy” Joe Giudice is currently behind bars serving 41 months on tax fraud charges. Joe was born in Italy and never obtained American citizenship. As such, the pride of the Garden State became a possible candidate for deportation the moment he was convicted of a felony. Now, TMZ is reporting that the Giudice family’s worst fears have been realized, and Joe will indeed be forced to return to his homeland. Once he’s through serving his sentence, he’s outta here. “Based upon the law, I find you deportable and ineligible for any kind of relief,” a judge ruled in immigration court this morning. “Mr. Giudice, no matter how this turns out, I wish you the best,” the judge added. “I decided this case as a matter of law.” Joe and his lawyers are expected to appeal the decision. They have been granted 30 days to complete the process. Needless to say, Joe’s prospects of remaining in the United States are not promising, but at least he’s … locked up for the time being. The question now is whether Teresa Giudice and her four daughters will join the family patriarch in his trip back across the pond. For a long time, it was widely assumed that Teresa would not be moving to Italy with Joe . She’s raising four girls who all have strong familial roots in Jersey, and it would be difficult to uproot them, no question. Moreover, it seems unlikely that Teresa would be able to make the kind of money she’s accustomed to anywhere other than the Garden State. Maybe Bravo would be willing to send a camera crew to the Boot to shoot a one-off special about the Giudice’s relocation? In any case, it seems unlikely that Teresa would be able to continue participating in the show that made her famous. On top of all that rumors of Teresa and Joe getting divorced predate the couple’s legal troubles by several years. But in recent weeks, Teresa has been hinting that she would be willing to at least make a go of life in Italy. “Italy’s a beautiful place to live,” Teresa said in a recent interview with Andy Cohen. “I wouldn’t mind; I’m just saying,” she added. “Whatever God has planned for me, then that’s what’s gonna happen. And I will embrace it the best that I can.” Well, we guess Teresa’s got the right attitude. Hopefully, she keeps up that optimism through the hard times ahead, because it looks like there will be plenty of them.

At the 2018 American Music Awards , the Queen of Soul got a more than fitting tribute. Old friends such as Gladys Knight took the stage alongside Ledisi , Mary Mary, Donnie McClurkin , CeCe Winans and musical director Rickey Minor took the stage to take the Los Angeles crowd to church on Tuesday night. Knight entered following a video tribute to Franklin honoring her history with the American Music Awards before Knight herself gave a stirring rendition of “Amazing Grace.” Ledisi, Mary Mary, McClurkin, Winans and Minor joined in on a tribute to Amazing Grace , Franklin’s 1972 gospel album which to this day remains the highest selling gospel album of all-time.

She was 76. She won six American Music Awards throughout her career and hosted the awards twice, in 1976 and 1983.

Source: Jerritt Clark / Getty Tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Hollywood picks back up with the girls trip in London. Nikki ditched the crew and went back to Hollywood because she was over the drama. Paris, Bridget Kelly, Teairra, La’Britney and messy Brooke end up on a boat tour, but Moniece is nowhere to be found. Moniece isn’t really vibing with Brooke and she also isn’t vibing with Teairra. Speaking of the latter, the core of the episode is about questioning Teairra Mari and the validity of her sex tape claims because there’s something really fishy going on, but hold that thought. Back in the US, we find Apple working on her relationship with her formerly absent father. Apple asks him for advice about working with Shun Love. Why? Who knows, but anyway, Papa Apple seems mighty interested in what Apple is doing the minute she mentions that she is considering signing a contract with Shun Love. He all of a sudden wants to play the overprotective role 20 or 30-something years later, and claims he wants to talk to Shun before she signs anything to secure his own bag “protect her.” Apple emphatically tells her father not to say anything to Shun and that she’ll get a lawyer (aka a professional) to address her concerns if necessary, but for now, she has to worry about her other problems, like the fact that she has to go to jail for 30 days. However, we all know what show this is so we all know that Papa Apple decides to go see Shun Love anyway. Let’s cut to that moment for a hot second because Shun Love smells the BS just like we do. She calls him out on being a deadbeat who is all of a sudden interested in his daughter’s life when cameras are around and opportunities are popping up. He tries horribly to defend himself by saying that he wasn’t there because he’s not even sure if Apple is his kid. He didn’t really mention that to Apple though, and that is going to be a huge problem when Apple finds out. Shun love instructs Papa Apple to handle that business before trying to butt into other business where he doesn’t belong. Next, Moniece and Brooke end up at Bridget Kelly’s photo shoot. Surprisingly, Brooke actually manages to stay on the sidelines so BK’s photoshoot goes well. Eventually, Brooke and Moniece discuss the night that Brooke bogarted Moniece’s studio session. Brooke reiterates that she thought Moniece was faking passing out and even tells Moniece that she jacked her song. Moniece said that she had switched doses of some medication and it messed her up and surprisingly tells Brooke to take the song and flourish. Brooke was dead wrong for taking Moniece’s song, but if Moniece isn’t mad then… I guess. Moniece and Teairra Mari decide to end their friendship over lunch with the girls. Basically, TT is upset over some he-said, she-said stuff based on something K. Michelle said to another friend of Moniece’s about TT and the sex tape, and questioning Teairra’s veracity over the fact that she was a victim. Hold that thought. Back in the US, Brooke goes to Akbar to be messy and conveniently brings up TT. According to Brooke, TT said that Akbar is dead to her. But according to Akbar, he and TT are still in communication with each other despite the fact that her lawyers told her not to. They’ve still been having sex and even that was allegedly filmed, and TT even flew to Dallas to see him. TT also told him she would drop the case and get rid of the lawsuit if he gets rid of his women, but he won’t. Akbar also sends her proof of their dalliances. Brooke meets up with K. Michelle and Moniece and they start talking about TT’s sex tape situation again, and this is when Brooke pulls up video Akbar sent of himself dropping Teairra off at the airport. Obviously, this looks bad for TT. The episode ends with Paris tossing water on K. Michelle because they can’t let go of their situation. You know, K Michelle says Paris is a thief for using her card without permission. Paris says she took Ubers on K. Michelle’s card because K. Michelle put the app on her phone since she was K’s assistant, and they both refuse to let it go even though they said they were going to let it go and move forward several episodes ago. You know they had to leave us hanging with the Teairra Mari sex tape stuff, but next week is when the big confrontation goes down. We all want to know what’s up with that!

She’s sorry, but the old Taylor Swift can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Because she’s busy knocking on doors and canvassing neighborhoods in Tennessee to make sure everyone is informed and registered to vote in the 2018 midterm elections. Indeed, the singer has broken from an often-criticized tradition and done more than merely dip a toe in political waters. She’s gone right ahead and jumped in with two feet. On Sunday evening, the beloved solo artist shared the photo above, along with a lengthy Instagram message that endorsed a pair of candidates in the November 6 election for various important offices. “In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now,” Swift said to open her statement. She continued: “I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. “I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. “I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent.” In the eyes of many critics, Swift had come under fire many times in the past for never using her famous platform for the greatest good. While fellow superstars such as Beyonce had not only backed certain candidates, but given speeches and performances on their behalf, Swift had remained out of the political arena entirely. Some were especially appalled by this decision in 2016 when there was such a clear choice between a candidate who supported women’s rights (Hillary Clinton) and, well… Donald Trump . “I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent,” Taylor added in this new message. “I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love.” Why is Swift speaking out now? Likely because Republican senators just confirmed Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court — despite one notable accusation of sexual assault against him, along with pretty clear temperment concerns. Perhaps with this in mind, Swift went on to specifically throw her support behind two candidates from her home state. “Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. “Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. “She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. “These are not MY Tennessee values.” In races that appear rather close and which could legitimately impact the country, Swift therefore announced the candidates who have her backing: “I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives. “Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway.” As you might expect, taking a partisan side has elicited mixed reactions on Twitter. A handful of users are for the move: Others have scoffed at the move: (Editor’s Note: Since Kanye supposedly “ended” Swift by interrupting her speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, the two highest-grossing tours in the world belong to… Taylor Swift.) This, of course, is the danger of getting involved in politics: you may engender some serious opposition. But Swift must think it is worth the fight and the criticism in order to speak her mind and espouse her values. This is how Swift concluded her unexpected post: So many intelligent, thoughtful, self-possessed people have turned 18 in the past two years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do. October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting! We wish the very same to you, Taylor. View Slideshow: Taylor Swift Albums: The Definitive Countdown!
Welp, this was a different kind of Wheel of Fortune guess. We've shared in the past some of the worst puzzle responses of all-time (such as THIS ONE ), but the one featured on this page is really unlike any in game show history. During a round of “same name,” Melanie Sinany looked at a nearly-completely board and proudly announced her guess for what was supposed to be “bridal & cold shower.” Right? You would have said that if you saw the puzzle above, wouldn't you? However, Sinany said Gold Shower instead, causing quite the uproar within the studio and across social media. Host Pat Sajak simply uttered a “sorry” after this failed guess, while Vanna White stood at the board looking stunned. (For those innocent and unaware, a golden shower is when one sexual partner urinates on the other. Ask our President about it. He'll explain.) “A woman on Wheel of Fortune just guessed ‘GOLD’ for the part of the phrase ‘COLD SHOWER’ and I’ve never regretted failing to capture something on my phone more,” one Twitter user wrote in reply to this mishap. Added another: “Idk how many times I hit rewind bc I was laughing soo hard and the camera was shaking.” Another chimed in as follows: “#goldshower And just like that, Awkward Moment on @wheeloffortune and YouTube fame for Melanie after guessing Gold Shower. “I wonder if Pat will say anything about it at the end of the game. Poker faces from Pat and Vanna were priceless.” And another: “I feel blessed that I caught this magical Wheel of Fortune moment just now.” CHECK OUT THE HILARIOUS VIDEO NOW!
ATLANTA, GA – SEPTEMBER 20: Birdman and Young Thug perform at the BET Hip Hop awards at Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center on September 20, 2014 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Prince Williams/WireImage) Birdman’s Phone Call With Lil Wayne’s Bus Shooter Surfaces Remember when we told you that both Birdman and Young Thug were being investigated over the 2015 shooting of Lil Wayne’s tour bus? Well, it appears there’s some pretty damning evidence to back up these resurfaced claims and push the formal charges forward. A phone call between Birdman and the then-jailed supposed shooter discussing a cash exchange shortly after the shooting has surfaced…and it’s not sounding too good. According to TMZ , the phone call was made while alleged shooter Jimmy Winfrey was locked up at a Cobb County, GA jail in connection with the crime. Winfrey eventually went on to be convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison for shooting the tour bus. “Time for you to come out here and get your money. You did everything you could do, boss.” Now, a source close to Birdman claims that this conversation had nothing to do with the shooting at all. Exactly WHAT it had to do with instead remains unclear. Apparently, Birdman doesn’t even believe that Winfrey is the shooter at all, and claims that he would never knowingly associate with someone looking to harm his “son” Wayne . As far as Winfrey “not being the shooter,” his conviction actually was overturned over the summer due to his judge’s bias. But he’s still in jail at the moment, awaiting a new trial and likely a new plea deal that will see him out of prison in less than 20 years… What do you make of all this?

After performing “I Love It” with Lil Pump on Saturday Night Live , Kanye West couldn’t let the night end without pulling some sort of attention grabbing stunt. So he went in his bag of Trump tricks and decided to go on a full on Pro-Trump rant at the end of the show. He said, “There’s so many times I talk to, like, a white person about this and they say, ‘How could you like Trump? He’s racist,’. Well, uh, if I was concerned about racism I would’ve moved out of America a long time ago.” Some of the ridiculous speech occurred off air, but luckily Chris Rock who was in attendance captured some of it on his phone. You can hear the comedian saying “Oh My God” and even laughing at Kanye in the background as the rest of the crowd booed. From Chris Rock’s IG story, looks like Kanye gave a speech after NBC cut the SNL feed pic.twitter.com/mYpSxqbw9Z — Josh Billinson (@jbillinson) September 30, 2018 There’s nothing about Kanye West that surprises us anymore, besides the fact that the folks around him condone his offensive behavior. SMH.
