The LA rapper brought out Dave Chappelle to narrate the powerful performance, as well as U2 to play alongside his vocals. The performance was no other than epic and black as hell.

If you thought that maybe Eminem was going to ease up on his anti-Trump views … come on, why would you think that? You’re really just setting yourself up for failure with nonsense like this. For a good long while now, Eminem has been very outspoken about his disdain for our president, from the diss track he released in 2016 to his freestyle at October’s BET Hip Hop Awards. In the latter performance, he even spoke out against his fans who were also Trump supporters , saying that “any fan of mine who’s a supporter of his, I’m drawing a line in the sand.” “You’re either for or against, and if you can’t decide who you like more and you’re split on who you should stand beside, I’ll do it for you with this.” At this point, things got a little more visual — he simply flipped off the camera, making it clear that he’s not interested in sharing fans with Trump. Eminem Utterly Destroys Donald Trump in This Freestyle Rap He continued his tirade on his new album , Revival, which contains several verses with similar themes. And in a new interview with Billboard, he’s lashing out yet again. “I know I say a lot of f-cked-up sh-t,” he says at one point. “But a lot of sh-t is said in jest, it’s tongue-in-cheek, and it has always been that way through my whole career — saying sh-t to get a reaction out of people.” “It’s my artistic license to express myself.” However, he adds, “Last time I checked, Trump isn’t an artist and doesn’t have an artistic license. I’m not the f-ckin’ president.” He makes a fair point. Later he was asked what he was doing on election night — he recalls that he was “watching the TV in f-cking disbelief,” and that he was “on the phone back and forth with friends, like, ‘He’s going to f-cking win.'” “I called it just from the rallies he was having when he first started running,” he continues. “Because just watching the impact he has, they were fanatics.” “There is something to be said about the person who really felt like he might do something for them — and he just f-cking duped everybody.” He says that he thinks Hillary Clinton “had her flaws,” but that “anything would have been better” than Trump. He actually says that “A f-cking turd would have been better as president.” We’ll never truly know, of course, or at least we probably won’t — at this point, who really knows? — but that sounds plausible, right? “It’s just so f-cking disgusting how divisive his language is, the rhetoric, the Charlottesville sh-t, just watching it, going ‘I can’t believe he’s saying this,'” he says. He also admits that after Trump’s statement on John McCain , he thought he was “done,” because “you’re f-cking with military veterans, you’re talking about a military war hero who was captured and tortured.” “It just didn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. And that’s some scary sh-t to me.” Us too, pal. Eminem even says that while he may not have “hatred in my heart for him,” he does have “serious contempt.” “I do not like the guy.” As for his earlier remarks about not wanting to share fans with Trump, he says “At the end of the day, if I did lose half my fan base, then so be it, because I feel like I stood up for what was right and I’m on the right side of this.” “I don’t see how somebody could be middle class, busting their ass every single day, paycheck to paycheck, who thinks that that f-cking billionaire is going to help you.” Do you think Eminem is being too political, or is he on point with all of this?
Image via Prince Williams/WireImage/Getty Transcript Of Meek Mill’s Meeting With Judge To Be Released If you’ll recall, the reputation of Genece Brinkley , the judge who threw a library of books at Meek Mill for probation violation, has come into SERIOUS question. Meek says the judge basically tried to offer a bribe scenario in which Meek would record a Boyz II Men song and give her a sycophantic shoutout. Young bul refused this jawn’s nut a$$ request and claims that she has been drawin’ ever since. According to TMZ , another judge has ordered the release of the transcript from that meeting to help determine whether or not Brinkley really is carrying out a vendetta against the Philly spitter. The transcript could also show whether or not the judge asked Meek to change managers, one of the things that the FBI is interested in as well in their investigation to determine corruption. #FreeMeekMill might just become a reality sooner than everyone thought.
WENN Shantel Jackson Addresses Nelly’s Rape Allegations Nelly may be a cheat but his girlfriend wants you to know that he’s not a creep. After two more women came forward accusing Nelly of sexual assault, his boo thang Ms. Jackson is issuing a response. As previously reported THREE women are claiming that the St. Louis rapper sexually assaulted them including two new women that say the rapper inappropriately touched them and at one point forced oral sex. According to his “Platinum Life” boo Shantel Jackson however, the accusations are false. “I know he f**** up and we’re dealing with that in our relationship to rebuild it and find trust. Those dates those Jane Does are claiming, I was at those venues in the dressing rooms and on that tour bus.” Well damn, she’s clearly sticking by her (cheating) man. What do YOU think about Shantel Jackson defending Nelly???
Vanessa Marcil has announced a tragic piece of news: The veteran actress has suffered yet another miscarriage. The former Las Vegas and Beverly Hills, 90210 star confirmed this sad development on Instagram, sharing a photo of herself and her fiancee (who she refers to as “MC”) kissing on the beach. Reads a statement below this sweet image: “Our hearts are with Vanessa and MC who have lost baby OPM. “Thank you for respecting their privacy as they heal and thank you for sharing all of your personal stories. “You are not alone.” She certainly is not. The numbers vary every year, but approximately 15-20 percent of all pregnancies in the U.S. end in a miscarriage. As you can see down below, this awful situation has also afflicted many famous celebrities. Back in November, Marcil shared with her social media followers that she was pregnant, but also noted that caution was needed. She wanted her fans to celebrate along with her, yet also knew everyone had to be wary, “After six miscarriages we are saying prayers for OPM,” Marcil wrote at the time. Earlier this month, meanwhile, the actress confirmed on her Instagram page that she was expecting a daughter, posting a photo of her puppy Rocky snuggling close to her owner’s baby bump. “The GIRLS,” she captioned the moment. Marcil does share a 15-year old son named Kassius Lijah with ex-boyfriend and co-star Brian Austin Green The actress and her fiance, whose identity she chooses to keep secret, got engaged in April of 2015. She was previously married to Corey Feldman from 1989 to 1993; and also to actor Carmine Giovinazzo from 2010 to 2013. “V has had a miscarriage. Our second one this year,” Giovinazzo wrote under Marcil’s Twitter account in December 2011, adding: “Thanx for the love and prayers.” This has tragically been an issue that has plagued Marcil for many years. Along with the aforementioned television shows, soap opera fans likely recognize the actress from her lengthy run as Brenda on General Hospital. She has also appeared on Crossing Jordan and Without a Trace. We send our thoughts and prayers to Marcil and her fiance during this difficult time.

Recently, and to no one’s surprise, Wendy Williams suggested that Travis Scott either dumped Kylie or plans to dump Kylie, and the he plans to throw out the baby with the bathwater, so to speak. Wendy suggested a theory that Kylie’s been so secretive about her pregnancy because Travis left her. And she suggested that Travis left because, well, he got his girlfriend pregnant after one month of dating and doesn’t need that in his life. Apparently, Travis Scott heard about her broadcast and is taking offense in a major way. A source tells HollywoodLife that Travis Scott is fuming at Wendy Williams over her unkind statements. (A lot of folks have been in that boat a time or two; most have learned to let it go and maybe rewatch that video of Wendy Williams collapsing on live TV ) ” Travis is so pissed at Wendy , he’s taking this very personally.” If he’s really going to be a part of Kylie’s life in a long-term way, then he’s going to need to get used to people speculating all sorts of things about him. “She’s making horrible assumptions about him when she knows nothing, she’s never even met him.” To be fair, based on everything that we’ve ever seen of Wendy Williams, that is essentially her job. According to this same source, Travis doesn’t match Wendy’s description in the slightest. ” Travis has no intention of abandoning his child or responsibilities as a dad .” To be clear, we’re not sure if Wendy actually believed that child abandonment was his plan. At the very least, she must know how abandoning one of the most famous moms-to-be in the world might hurt his brand. “He’s excited about becoming a dad .” Not many people are excited when they find out that they’ve knocked up their girlfriend of one month. But sometimes they get excited. Especially when their baby momma is loaded. “If Wendy really knew him she’d know that family is everything to him.” It’s true that his family, based in Houston, is very important to him. “He’s so close to his parents and his brother and sister. His whole family is hyped for this baby.” In fact, Travis so so close with his folks that, reportedly, Kylie and Travis were fighting over how to spend the holidays. “He’s not some deadbeat that doesn’ t know the meaning of family.” That line really jabs at what — even coming from Wendy Williams — almost feels like a racially charged element to Wendy’s theory. Yes, sometimes people within minority groups can perpetuate stereotypes about each other. ” Wendy ‘s comments aren’ t just offensive to him, they’ve upset his whole family, especially his mom.” That’s all nice to hear, because we want good things for Kylie and her baby. HollywoodLife points out, however, that Wendy isn’t the only one who’s reportedly had concerns about Travis. “Kris is unclear about Kylie’s future with Travis but for now, Kris is extremely disappointed in how Travis is handling the pregnancy.” We know that Travis turned to Kanye for advice on dealing with the very hormonal Kylie. We also know that he’s been touring through most of Kylie’s pregnancy. “Kris has made it clear to Travis that Kylie deserves more out of him. Kris also let Travis know that she is the boss in the family, she is watching him closely and that he better not hurt her youngest daughter.” I cannot imagine what it would be like to be threatened by Kris Jenner. “Kris finished warning Travis by telling him that despite the status of his relationship with Kylie, he best step up and be a more present father when the baby arrives.” Even those of us who aren’t talk show hosts need to be careful when we let speculation become rumors or assumptions. As we’ve said from the get-go, it’s highly unlikely that Travis Scott planned to become a father. He was just the rebound guy enjoying one of the Jenner sisters. He’d been with Kendall before. Presumably, something went wrong, because we can’t imagine that Kylie planned for this, either. But it looks like Kylie and Travis are making the best of her pregnancy. if he hasn’t cut and run while Kylie’s at her most hormonal, then it’s hard to imagine him running off when there’s an actual baby before his very eyes. Remember, Kylie’s due date is February 4th. That is in nine days . No matter how people want to characterize him, he’s probably nervous and excited. Like any parent.

Things have been rough between Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin for a while now. Pretty much ever since they met. Sure, they were probably in love or whatever at some point — they did get married and have a baby together, after all — but things have never really been easy between them. Remember how much they would fight over anything and everything? Literally just any old thing? It was bad But although there was a lot of bad blood between them , they managed to put aside their issues last year for the sake of their son, Lincoln. At some point, it even seemed like they were forming a pretty solid friendship. Or at least they were before Briana DeJesus came into the picture. When Javi started dating Briana last fall, his relationship with Kailyn pretty much fell apart. There was drama between the two of them, and between Kailyn and Briana . Again, it was bad. Unfortunately — or let’s be real this was probably best for everyone involved — Javi and Briana broke up earlier this month . It wasn’t a terribly dramatic breakup or anything. The big issues were that he wanted to settle down and get married again, and also that she planned on getting more plastic surgery and he wasn’t cool with it. But still, they’re no longer together, and so it seems like he and Kailyn are able to tolerate each other once again. So are they tolerating each other enough to give love one more chance?! Javi appeared on Kailyn’s podcast this week, and they touched on the subject of a possible reconciliation in the future. You know, because it worked so well the first time around. “I just think that there’s a lot of history between us that neither one of us will ever let go,” Javi explained . “Even if we were to try again in the future it wouldn’t work because I know the type of person I am and the type of person she is. We argue. It just wouldn’t happen.” It’s interesting because while he admitted that things would never work out between them, he did say “if we were to try again in the future.” When are these two crazy kids going to get it together?! Kailyn confirmed that their love just is not meant to be, saying that “Javi argues out of passion. Javi is a habitual arguer and a ‘never letter goer.'” “I couldn’t have said it better,” she told him. “I don’t think we could get back together.” They both agreed that being on Teen Mom 2 definitely played a hand in the downfall of their marriage, and thankfully Javi admitted that jumping from one Teen Mom to another probably wasn’t the best idea. “I’m trying to learn from my mistakes and not repeat those mistakes so moving forward, I’m not gonna mix that,” he said. What, was he thinking about landing another Teen Mom next before he came to this realization? Should Leah Messer be on the lookout? It actually sounds like he’s still a little hung up on Briana . “I don’t know what the future holds,” he told Kailyn about his most recent ex. “There is a lot we have to discuss and talk about before we make any other decisions.” “But if we do get back together, I would hope we can all get along.” Fat chance, buddy. “It would never happen,” Kailyn replied. “We would never get along. You allowed her to disrespect me to my face, also on camera, also in text messages.” “When I said what I had to say in a nice way you defended her and not me. We raise a son together, you don’t raise a son with her.” There’s that good old bickering we know and love! Look, is there any real chance that these two will ever get back together? Yes, honestly. It definitely could happen — there seems to be some unresolved feelings there for sure. But is there an even bigger chance that they will go back and forth between being friendly and being ridiculously, hilariously petty for the rest of their whole entire lives? You bet your bottom dollar. View Slideshow: Kailyn Lowry Reacts to Javi Marroquin-Briana DeJesus Breakup: Did She Throw Shade?
Vanessa Morgan is some hometown hotty…who is not really famous, but she’s on Riverdale because I guess they need to hire a handful of Canadian actors to get the tax credit to justify shooting in Vancouver. If you read the site you’ll know that Riverdale is starting to make some noise, despite being a pretty shitty over written pile of shit of a show, with the weirdest spin of the Archie Comics ever, making it all dark and weird, and not in a good way, but in a lame way pretending to be good way, it’s even shot with some instagram filter making it dark and spooky as they do…and the whole thing does well because they post it weekly on netflix and the general public don’t like leaving the house, but instead watch anything that comes on netflix, it’s their business model and why they are a 100 billion dollar company… POINT BEING, as being a fringe character she gets less love than the Betty and Veronicas, who are CLEARLY not the hot ones on the show, they just happen to have the title part and the company is marketing them as being hot, and people believe because people are dumb… So this is me giving some LOCAL talent some love…it’s an Olympic year, go Canada…you got this….see you at the IGLOO later for some maple syrup girl, we’ll ride our moose into the sunset….. The post Vanessa Morgan is Hot of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .
For almost 20 years, Matt Lauer was married to Annette Roque. Clearly, among Lauer’s many widely reported failings was his failure as a husband. It’s long been suspected that Annette Roque is planning to divorce Matt Lauer , but her approach to this has seemed calm and careful. And quiet. Now, reportedly, the divorce process has finally begun. One of the biggest stories during these months of #MeToo was Matt Lauer being revealed and accused of being a serial harasser. The shocking details of Matt Lauer giving sexual “gifts” and dropping his pants to demand sex acts from coworkers and underlings at NBC were enough. But it didn’t stop at creepy stories about a button on his desk to remotely lock his office door, or at his alleged fondness for using NBC trips as a hunting ground, looking for young, pretty, ambitious staffers to invite — or lure — to his hotel room. And then, of course, Matt Lauer was accused of rape . According to the allegations, he locked a woman in his office, bent her over, and only stopped his sexual assault after she lost consciousness. Some divorces are started by mere cheating, not an international media scandal that leaves a once-beloved TV personality in disgrace. Us Weekly reports that, after nearly two months of … whatever Annette Roque has been up to … she’s finally divorcing Matt Lauer . “They’ve started the divorce process.” For a while, many feared that Annette Roque was refusing to divorce Matt Lauer . Since then, however, she’s kicked Matt Lauer out of their family home in the Hamptons. (Finally!) Clearly, something has changed. Do you know what the weirdest part of this is, though? It sounds like Matt Lauer is totally detached from reality. At least, from what we hope reality is. Per their source: “He thinks he can start fresh. In both his personal and professional life.” We’re sure that he can date and even remarry. Sadly, he’s rich and famous, and some people don’t mind dating an accused rapist. But … he really believes that he can salvage his career? “He thinks he’ll be back on TV at some point.” Maybe he’s right. After all, Johnny Depp is still somehow starring in movies even though we all know exactly what sort of man he is. And Woody Allen is still making movies. As we said, Matt Lauer and Annette Roque were married for nearly 20 years. Divorce can be hell, and there’s a decent chance that what’s currently a quiet divorce will grow contentious over time. The couple has three children together: Jack, 16, Romy, 14, and Thijs, 11. (Don’t make fun of their names; kids don’t choose their names) Shortly after the Lauer story first broke, Annette Roque pretty much fled the country , and she brought Romy and Thijs with her. Jack remained behind … we don’t know what to read into that other than that he’s 16. This divorce will impact the children no matter what, but they’re at least old enough that they (particularly Jack and Romy) can probably have some sort of say when it comes to custody. It’s difficult to tell how this divorce will go. On the one hand, if we were for some reason advising Matt Lauer, we’d suggest giving his wife everything she asks for, quietly and politely. Surely he owes her that much, if not more. On the other, the description that Us Weekly ‘s source provides of Matt Lauer hardly meshes with the “broken, ashamed” description of him that we were so pleased to hear a while back. (Excuse my schadenfreude) if he really thinks that his life can somehow go on as before, that people can still see him as a public figure and not as a sex monster who abused the trust of coworkers but also of the public, then he might fight to enforce the couple’s prenup. We can hope that he makes the choice of a decent human being. But, given his alleged behavior in recent decades, we won’t hold our breath. View Slideshow: Hollywood Sex Scandal: Who’s Been Caught?
