There's so much talk about Katy Perry vs. Taylor Swift these days that it's easy to forget the current queens of pop aren't the first to wage all-out war against one another. That honor probably belongs to a couple greasy-haired dudes who got in a fight backstage at The Ed Sullivan Show , but who cares about them? We want to rewind a bit, but not all the way back to the days when people paid money for music, like freakin' barbarians. This story takes us back to the early 2000s, a time when many Americans innocently thought we'd elected the biggest jackass president this country would ever know. In 2001, Pink, Christina Aguilera, Lil Kim, and Mya all collaborated on a cover of “Lady Marmalade” for the soundtrack to Moulin Rouge , aka The One Where Nicole Kidman Tried to Sing . Apparently, the former two got into a disagreement about who would sing what part, and there was very nearly a physical altercation. Pink has since attained the status of living legend, while Christina spent some time on that show with the spinning chairs. Anyway, Pink appeared on Watch What Happens Live last night, where she told Andy Cohen about the time that Christina tried to punch her: “We were super young and super new at the whole thing, and I think I’m an alpha, and she’s an alpha,” she said during the show's “Plead the Fifth” segment. “I’m used to taking my altercations physical and she’s used to having them verbal. We’re just very different, we’re very different. And we were very young and new.” Unable to suppress laughter, Pink added: “She swung on me in a club. Hilarious … I was like, 'What's happening?'” Pink says she and X-tina are “fine” these days, which is something Aguilera should be very happy about. That would've been a severely one-sided fight.
So there’s been this thing going on for the past couple of weeks, don’t know if you’ve noticed, where all kinds of people are really opening up about moments when they were harassed. It’s like women started talked about their experiences with Harvey Weinstein , then suddenly everyone felt comfortable sharing some real deep, dark stuff. It’s actually been pretty inspiring to see. People have called out Harvey and other celebrities like Ben Affleck and George Clooney for their bad behavior , and now actress/comedian Charlyne Yi is doing the same with David Cross. In a series of tweets made on Monday, Charlyne recalled the first time she met David. It was about ten years ago, she explained, and “he made fun of my pants (that were tattered because I was poor). Dumbfounded I stared at him speechless and he said to me ‘what’s a matter? You don’t speak English?? Cing-chong-ching-chong.'” “Then after he saw I was offended he asked me if I was going to fight with him karate in a southern accent.” She said that a few years after that, she was introduced to him again after she performed a comedy show, and “he said ‘Hi nice to meet you.'” “I will say this,” she continued. “I can tell the difference between this man making a joke vs condescending me.” “This happened 10 years ago and I sure as hell hope he’s changed (or at the very least, he’s scared enough to not be his racist self.” “HOWEVER,” she concluded, “it is very uncool that a 40+ man was being racist towards me, being a young 20 year old woman who was clearly on the verge of tears from his first racist comment.” So that’s a pretty awful story, right? But in a Twitter post of his own, David suggested that perhaps Charlyne simply wasn’t remembering things correctly. He wrote that this “accusation” was “deeply upsetting,” that he would “never intentionally hurt someone like that,” and that he does not even remember any of this happening. However, he also tried to make it clear that he wasn’t accusing her of lying, “and I’m truly sorry if I hurt her, it was never my intention to do that.” David said that while he doesn’t remember doing any of the things Charlyne said he did, he reached out to her about the issue, and he also proposed “the possibility that perhaps we are both misremembering exactly what happened that night.” He finished up his message with “I can’t believe I have to write this but I am not a racist nor a bully and loathe them in real life.” But after mulling the whole thing over for a while, he came to the conclusion that he may have actually said those things, but he just said them as “some asshole redneck racist character.” Because he grew up in Georgia, see, and he’s frequently used that kind of character to make fun of those asshole redneck racists. Charlyne just didn’t get that, apparently. After explaining that, he wrote that he was “done with this,” and that he hopes the people who have called him a racist have to deal with a similar scandal, because “maybe then you won’t be so quick to judge.” Yikes. Why is it so hard for some people to just make a sincere apology for something they’ve done? Why is that such a task? Charlyne made it clear that David offended her and hurt her, and not for some ridiculous reason either — regardless of whether or not he was doing a character, he said racist things to her and it didn’t go over well. Why does he feel the need to justify it so much when a simple “Hey, I was trying to be funny and messed up, I’m sorry” would have done the job? Whatever the reason, David’s wife, Amber Tamblyn, has jumped into the fray, too. And if you’re remembering her amazing words about feminism and sexism and hoping she’ll make it all better … well, you’re in for a surprise. Not a good one, either. People were talking on Twitter about David’s lackluster response to Charlyne’s story, and someone said that it was unfortunate because Amber is so great. “He said he was sorry, publicly, several times,” she responded. Please don’t @ me in conversations dragging my husband. Thanks.” Several people called her out for that statement, because David never really apologized, and he certainly didn’t do it several times. Someone even pointed out that she dragged James Woods “like a dead body all over the internet for being a perv but ‘sorry’ is OK for your obnoxiously racist husband.” Enough people pointed out the problem that she reconsidered, and last night she revealed that she personally spoke with Charlyne, “and her feelings/safety are all that matter to me.” “We’re good,” she added. “I owe you nothing, Twitter. You’re lucky to have me.” “I’ll say it again,” she wrote when people still tried to criticize her. “I spoke to Charlyne. I believe her. I’m about HER feelings/emotional health right now, not Twitter’s. That okay with you?” “I will say this for the last time. Do not hold women accountable for the actions, decisions or words of their partners. Don’t. Do it.” What an emotional roller coaster.

Hazel-E stars on the VH1 reality show Love & Hip-Hop: Hollywood. But the Z-list star is in major hot water at the moment for showing no love whatsoever for members of the LGBT community. The cable network star has stirred up some major controversy for jumping to the defense of boyfriend Rose Burgundy after he (yes, Rose is a he ) was accused of wanting to cheat on Hazel with a comedian named Jess Hilarious. At some point, screenshots of an alleged conversation between Rose and Jess were uploaded by a social media user named Camyonce – and they implied that Burgundy is bisexual. Very offended by the notion that he wanted to have sex with a man, Burgundy shared the following message on Instagram: “You really want to know how I feel about gays so bad well here you go I hope all gays die and go to hell thats where I’m come from Bi**h check your lies before you post I’m from piru Bi**h I’m 25 not 19 and it’s Denzell with 2 L’S Bi**h google me. Oh, and did we mention he left this message alongside a photo of a gay pride flag on fire? Burgundy has made his account private, so we cannot post the offensive picture here. But Hazel chimed in on the comments section with the following remark: “Burn in hell just like God said in the Bible!” The Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood cast member then shared the above image of her and Burgundy and wrote as a caption: We are tired of the bs & we will defend ourselves at all costs. Y’all making up posts, I’m stating facts. Go read the Bible, google self hatred amongst black women then come holla at this Queen. Hazel also posted since-deleted photos about Jess Hilarious and calling her a “raggedy broke black ass bitch” and a “monkey,” while slamming other dark-skinned women as well. To wit: It’s all pretty darn ugly and gross. Thankfully, plenty of folks on the World Wide Web were made aware of Hazel’s comments and responded with harsh words for the intolerant wanna be celebrity. Again, to wit: Neither Hazel-E nor Burgundy have commented on this scandal. We aren’t exactly waiting on an apology, either. But we also won’t be watching Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood until Hazel is fired. Do you feel the same way? View Slideshow: Love & Hip Hop Hollywood Season 2: First Cast Photos!

Trump Voter Fraud Researcher Caught With Child Porn Looks like one of Trump’s employees has been using his computer for a lot more than research. One of the researchers Trump hired to his controversial voter fraud investigation commission has been found out to be a big-time child porn enthusiast . 37-year-old Ronald Williams II was arrested on 11 counts of possession and distribution of child porn, via NYDN . Cops searched his Suitland, Maryland home last week and found multiple child porn files on his phone. He now faces 6 counts of possession and five counts of distribution of child porn. SMH. Meanwhile, the commission he works for has yet to turn up any evidence of widespread voter fraud.

Travis Scott Flaunts Facetime Call With Knocked Up Kylie Travis Scott wants to make sure fans know him and his Mamacita Kylie Jenner are still a thing with a baby Kardashijenner on the way. During a recent appearance at NYC store Ksubi, Travis Scott did a special DJ set to launch his own fashion collaboration with the brand… And in the middle of spinning hits at the jean store, Travis decided to call his baby mama up on Facetime, and show her face to the crowd to let them know they were on the phone — most likely completely unable to hear each other, but that’s beside the point. Welp, looks like Mom and Dad are still going strong. Getty/WENN/Instagram
