All-White: Virgil Abloh Responds To Accusations That His Off-White Staff Lacks Diversity

Source: Bertrand Rindoff Petroff / Getty Virgil Abloh Blasted Online For Lack Of Diversity On Staff Virgil Abloh’s brand Off-White staff has been criticized for having a staff that’s way too white. Not gonna lie I thought @virgilabloh would have some black people working with him but I’m not surprised pic.twitter.com/TLqb0CEbLb — lil shorty bulgogi (@wsupden) April 30, 2019 He received a ton of backlash this week after he posted photos from a recent Off-White event he attended with his employees. The pictures posted included some shots of the brand’s graphic team and art director and Abloh’s followers were quick to point out the lack of diversity among the staff, which led to people accusing him of not supporting other black creatives. Upset about being called out, Virgil responded to the criticism on Friday afternoon, posting photos of all the POC creatives he has worked with. The list features Kid Cudi, Playboi Carti, Serena Williams, Heron Preston, Tremaine Emory, Andre Walker, and Fabien Montique. After posting some other responses to the criticism, Abloh concluded his series of Instagram stories with these words: “Follow my whole design team. Support their creative ideas. Buy their clothes. Attend their events. Like their photos. Be global. Travel. Eat different food. Listen to techno. Walk don’t Uber. Love your neighbor.” Soon after responding on his own social media pages, Virgil also provided a statement to Hypebeast about the rumors spreading online. He said: “My design team is diverse as the world is big. The video shown was an Off-White dinner at the headquarters in the city of Milan, Italy. This party was to celebrate the hard work of the local Italian team.” Off-White also sent out a statement on the matter, which you can read below: “When questioned about diversity, Virgil Abloh takes pride in being African and American. His design team is diverse, and his practice has been built on making the art and design industry an inclusive community. Fellow designers like Samuel Ross, Heron Preston, No Vacancy Inn – by Tremaine Emory and Acyde Odunlami, Everard Best, Photographer Fabien Montique, amongst many others have been given a platform via Off-White . These are just a few of the many global voices and people sitting at the table and helping evolve the brand. Off-White is a black founded and owned business.” “He wishes to use this moment of being questioned to be a moment of reflection within the industry to showcase the talents behind their design entities and push to have a design community that represents the outside world.”

Chris Harrison Reveals Why 2 Former Bachelorettes Were Missing From Reunion Special

Well, folks, another season of The Bachelorette is just around the corner. And if you’re anything like us, you can’t wait to see Hannah Brown find love among her 32 suitors. Of course, if you can’t wait until the finale, you can always just check out our Bachelorette spoilers and amaze your friends with your clairvoyant abilities. Hannah has the honor of anchoring a milestone season for the show. This is the series’ 15th go-round, and to celebrate, host Chris Harrison sat down with all of the former Bachelorettes. Well … almost all of the former Bachelorettes. When this photo appeared on Harrison’s official Instagram account, fans were quick to point a pair of surprising absences. Two of the OG three stars of the show — Meredith Phillips from season two and Jen Schefft from season three — were nowhere to be found. Fans — at least the ones who have been watching long enough to remember those two — immediately wanted to know what was going on. The pic was posted just days after we learned that two suitors were booted from Hannah’s season  prior to filming due to allegations of inappropriate behavior. So was there any such scandal surrounding Jen and Meredith’s absence? Well, if you’re hoping for something juicy, we’re afraid we have some bad news. The ladies were apparently absent due to a boring old scheduling conflict. “Unfortunately Jen and Meredith couldn’t be there because we had to settle on a date,” Harrison told E! News. “At the end of the day, we had to shoot this thing,” he added.  “So, we just picked a day where we could get as many as we possibly could, but unfortunately schedules, vacations, was one of them, just couldn’t be changed. “And we just had to pull the trigger and do this thing.” Of course, there might be more to the story than Harrison is letting on. Schefft is now a married mother of two who has made a point of avoiding the spotlight in recent years. Conversely, Phillips came forward last year and alleged that she was sexually assaulted by a masseuse during the filming of her season. She has not spoken publicly about whether or not that incident impacted her decision to avoid the reunion taping. In any event, Harrison says he’s pleased with the turnout: “I was grateful that we had as many as we did, which was 12 of the 14,” he tells E! “Obviously [new Bachelorette] Hannah [Brown] is not a part of it, she’s shooting the show.”  As for Jen and Meredith, Chris says they have not been forgotten: “Jen and Meredith are represented, they’re celebrated in this thing, we love them very much and they’re a part of our family and this sisterhood, but they just couldn’t join us,” he says.

‘Iron Man’ Came Out 11 Years Ago And It’s Got Everyone’s Feeling A Lot Of Emotions

Here is the original post:

Source: Frazer Harrison / Getty *SPOILER ALERT* If you still haven’t seen Avengers: End Game and have somehow managed to not see any spoilers until now, back away from the computer. Seriously, there’s gonna be a major spoiler in the first sentence of this article–don’t say I didn’t warn you. Let’s cut right to the chase: we all cried when Iron Man died at the end of Avengers: End Game . And if you didn’t, you definitely heard a few sniffles in your theater from the people who did. The death of the man who kicked off the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe is devastating enough on its own, but it’s been made even more emotional for fans as they remember today, May 2, is the 11 year anniversary of Iron Man’s release. Eleven years ago today, he became Iron Man. #TodayInMarvelHistory #Marvel80 pic.twitter.com/ddhtVe6Xoh — Marvel Entertainment (@Marvel) May 2, 2019 If you’re one of the diehard Marvel fans whose been paying attention to the actors from the film on social media, you already know it’s impossible to stumble upon a post without seeing at least a few “I love you 3,000” comments. What was an absolutely adorable line at the beginning of the film was made tragic when Tony Stark’s hologram uttered that same line to his daughter following his death. Now, as we remember where it all started over a decade ago, everything is 3000 times more sad. With all of the sorrow surrounding the ending of the 3rd phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, one thing we can all take solace in is the fact that we aren’t suffering alone. With all the box office records End Game is breaking, it really seems like those who aren’t mourning the death of our beloved Iron Man are the ones who are alone. With that being said, it’s only right we celebrate the 11 year anniversary of Iron Man by looking at some of the most devastating tweets about Tony Stark and his meaningful MCU ending. Here’s what people are saying as they celebrate the anniversary of the film that started it all while simultaneously mourning the death of the Avengers’ patriarch: My mom just told me after my little brother saw End Game he went home and put his Iron Man suit on because he was sad pic.twitter.com/6DEAK4e6Xk — (^з^)-☆ (@mellowthai) May 2, 2019 “seems like a thousand years ago… I fought my way out of that cave, became iron man” pic.twitter.com/VLN20BerCg — mariam ⎊ || spoilers (@verstarks) May 2, 2019 Iron Man is 11 years old today.

Here's an official poster I made for the movie sometime back… pic.twitter.com/rYW3kn0Ehm — Matt Ferguson (@Cakes_Comics) May 2, 2019 Many Marvel fans already know that Robert Downey Jr. has always improvised a lot of his lines throughout his career, and the fact that two of the most important moments in these films was thought up on the spot has a lot of people in shock. “I am “I love you Iron man” 3000” Improvised lines which changed the mcu forever — lucy (@lokiintheshire) May 2, 2019 in honor of it being 11 years since iron man 1 was released in bringing back the most iconic line ever said in the history of the marvel cinematic universe! the man who started it all. pic.twitter.com/l09ZQGWRIP — emily saw endgame x5 (@starksyndrome) May 2, 2019 It's been 11 years since Iron Man came out.

Cardi B Strips Nude, Offers Extremely NSFW "Anatomy Lesson" to Fans

Cardi B is no stranger to sharing extremely NSFW messages , but her latest video is a fully nude, X-rated anatomy lesson . The clip, which wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of being allowed on Instagram, is directed at followers accusing her of excessive PDA. We have carefully cropped a version of that video for you to see (and hear) for yourself. The best part of this video isn't even Cardi herself. First, a fair warning : though we have zoomed in on the video to avoid actual nudity, Cardi's words and general state remain extremely NSFW . In other words, she's still a naked woman speaking about her genitals. Like ya do. This started when Cardi and Offset attended the 2019 Billboard Music Awards. The two of them were spotted packing on the PDA on the red carpet, to the point where fans believed that Offset had been touching her genitals. Despite taking home the award for Best Rap Song, Cardi was focused on clearing up any misconceptions about her marital PDA. In a Snapchat video, Cardi posed naked with her hair draped over her breasts to avoid displaying her nipples. She stood with one leg raised (like Captain Morgan, basically), displaying both the curve of her butt and, well, her crotch. “Motherf–kers going showing this f–king picture,” Cardi loudly laments while recording herself in the mirror. “Now you're all photoshopping it even more,”:she accuses. “Like, 'Cardi p–sy, Cardi p–sy.” She then decides that the only way to clarify this for the masses is with one hell of an anatomy lesson. “First of all, that ain't my p–sy,” Cardi points out. “My p–sy right here,” she announces, reaching her hand between her legs to ensure that there can be no misunderstanding. “This is where I birthed my daughter from,” she announces, referring to baby Kulture. “This right here,” Cardi says, shifting her hand. “You know the part that shows when I go like this?” She adjusts her leg, creating a stomping sound. She explains that “that's just my ass!” “You know when you've got a fat ass,” she asks. “That s–t gets fat right there?” We're so accustomed to the memes about people being dummy thicc that we were not actually prepared for this question. “This part right here,” she says, pointing it out on her body. “This is the part that gives the dick comfort.” Are we getting a sneak peek of “the talk” that Kulture will one day receive? “This is the part that, where you go like this, in and out? That's what this n—- feel,” she explains. “You know what I'm saying?” she asks rhetorically. “You all wanna look at my p–sy so bad,” Cardi suggests. She then admonishes fans that “y'all should've went and seen me when I was a f–king stripper and I was promoting myself.” That's very fair. “Now,” Cardi concludes. “Too bad!” That is also extremely fair. We mentioned that the best part of this genuinely wild video wasn't Cardi herself. At one point, as you can see even in the cropped version that we whipped up for you, her husband, Offset, stops by. He sees through the door that Cardi is naked, posing, and filming for Snapchat. Offset doesn't speak or linger but just immediately vanishes from the frame. It's extremely funny and, yes, people are already making memes about it.

Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 4 Photos: What Do They Tell Us About the War to Come?

Well, the Long Night has been averted, and the Night King and his army are officially vanquished. Whether you were thrilled by the Battle of Winterfell or you’re one of the many who spent 90 minutes fiddling with the brightness settings on their TV in hopes of actually seeing some of the action, it’s now time to move on to the next conflict — the last war, as Daenerys calls it. And if Sunday’s episode didn’t do it for you, we have good news and some bad news: The good — with the longest battle sequence in TV history behind us, it’s back to the sex, wine, and political intrigue that set GoT apart in its earlier, less expensive seasons. The bad — at least some of the action will take place at Winterfell again this week … and there’s a whole lot of sword-slinging yet to come. Here are some-newly released photos from the episode, which we will now compulsively dissect in a frivolous search for useful information: Apparently, Jon Snow emerged from the Battle of Winterfell with just the slightest of scratches. The plot armor is strong with this one. We kid, of course. Killing off Jon while Melisandre was still around would’ve been a waste of time, and no one wants to see Aegon freakin’ Targaryen sidelined with an Ace bandage on his swording elbow during the war against Cersei. An unscathed Jon was always a foregone conclusion, and we’re okay with that. Of course, a lot of folks weren’t as lucky as our core group of heroes. Here, Arya and others pay their respects to the many who were cut down by the Night King’s army of the dead. They’d better get those final words in fast because even with the Night King gone, you can never be too careful when it comes to disposing of corpses. As many fans have already pointed out, the torchbearers here represent the various groups who fell in battle (Grey Worm for the Unsullied, Dany for the Dothraki, etc). And not that’s the only indication that a considerable amount of thought went into this funeral pyre ceremony. Dany’s dragons could’ve easily torched the whole lot with one deep breath. So it looks like we’re in for a tender moment before the bloodshed — of course, this is still Game of Thrones , so it’s a tender moment involving a pile of dead bodies. Speaking of Dany’s dragons — yes, the two that were still on the side of the living survived the Battle of Winterfell. Now, it’s time to go wreak some havoc and reign hellfire on King’s Landing! And if you’re anything like us, you’ve been waiting quite some time for Cersei, Euron, and the walking nightmare fuel that is the Mountain to get lit up like Christmas trees. Yes, waiting for Dany and company down south is the current occupant of the Iron Throne and her sidepiece of the moment.  (She may not be on the greatest terms with Jaime right now, but you know Cersei is kicking Euron to the curb as soon as she sees her brother/boo.) No one gets serious with a dude named Euron. Especially when he looks like what would happen if Bam Margera got super into pirate cosplay. So there you have it — everything we know so far about the Game of Thrones S09E04 — title TBA because HBO is just messing with us this season. Feel free to come back to this spot on Sunday night and point out how wrong all our assumptions were. View Slideshow: Game of Thrones Photos: Bring It On, White Walkers!

Kate Mara Fucks Ellen Page Topless of the Day

Kate Mara and Ellen Page are doing some dyke shit in some movie or TV show they are obviously dykes in. Some coming of age dyke story so that the movie companies feel inclusive to all people so they can’t be criticized when dykes start to protest not having proper representation in the media…despite dykes being fucking everywhere and that whining is just typical dyke behavior…because ever dyke I’ve met has been angry…maybe cuz I have a penis, or maybe cuz they don’t get penis…but instead use penis shaped things…totally logical and further proving the series my homeless friend at the park had that dykes are just perverts, a myth, not real…but a fantasy and the women who pretend to be dykes, may really believe they are dykes, but are only there by choice…either cuz of bad relationships with men for whatever reason…or because it’s cool…or because they got ate out by a girl once and they came from it, while dudes don’t grasp how cunt work, which again just furthers the point that they are perverts… Ellen Page an outspoken dyke, recruiting Kate Mara into experiment with being a dyke, like a high school gym teacher on her star Volleyball player….all while everyone involved in this tit on tit shit they probably inflate and think is important…when it’s just sensationalized shit for marketing…exploiting lesbians…good thing they don’t actually exist…they just think they do.

Humble Harvardite: Aoki Lee Simmons Credits Mom Kimora For Teaching Her An Extra Hard Lesson On Humility

Source: Rob Rich/ WENN / WENN Aoki Lee Simmons Admits She Let Harvard Acceptance Get To Her Head Just a few weeks ago we were congratulating Aoki Lee Simmons for being admitted to Harvard, but it appears that she allowed her new Ivy League status to go to her head. Earlier this week Aoki posted an essay on humility, revealing her mother had to take her down a notch because her big brains were giving her a HUGE head…. View this post on Instagram A short essay on humility, for someone trying their best to have some #spreadkindness (make sure you swipe cause if you don’t the essay makes no sense ) Love yourself, admit your mistakes, and grow like the awesome tree you are! #reflect #foodforthought A post shared by Aoki Lee Simmons (@aokileesimmons) on Apr 30, 2019 at 9:37pm PDT “I was more Harvard than John Harvard himself,” Aoki recalls, “and I was excited out of my mind, I was dabbing, I was whipping, I was Milly rocking, I was singing the fresh prince theme song….. Until my mom took me down a peg with lecture on humility, being a braggart and attracting the evil eye. My reaction was horrendous to ay the least, I pouted, I teared up, I accused her of being jealous, I accused her of not understanding how the college process works (hint: she totally did since she supported me and my sister through it and went to a fantastic college herself). I went off to my room to rage about how my mom ruins everything and kills my vibes and all those other teen complaints. I called my Dad to complain about how unfair my mom was being, and he told me he’d been wanting to say what she said for months. Which shocked me because I usually count on my Dad to be on my side, so hearing that confirmed the worst, my mom might be right. So then I started crying, really really hard.” Sounds a wee bit spoiled brattish — but at least she’s admitting she was wrong. We also loved that Aoki opened up about being disappointed about being deferred at Yale. We think it’s so great that Aoki realized the error of her ways AND that her mother kept it real with her. There are far too many insufferable little privileged princesses running around Beverly Hills whose mothers encourage that behavior. It’s a great picture of the kind of mom Kimora is riiiight?! When is the last time you needed a friend or family member to help you stay grounded?

Josh & Anna Duggar: Their Long, Strange Road to Baby #6

Well, it's official — Josh and Anna Duggar are expecting their sixth child . Despite the fact that Anna pregnancy rumors circulate on social media pretty much nonstop, a lot of fans were still surprised by the news. You can count us among those who were taken off-guard by the couple's video announcement. Sure, the rumors are constant, but that's all the more reason they can usually be discounted. The situation has caused us to reflect on the bumpy road that brought Josh and Anna to this point. Here's a look back at how it all began, as well as the many challenges these two have faced along the way: 1. The Beginning Josh is the oldest of the Duggar kids, and he was the first of Jim Bob and Michelle’s children to tie the knot and start a family. 2. The First Grandkid No doubt Anna will always have a special place in her in-laws’ hearts for giving the offspring-obsessed Duggars their first grandchild. 3. Keeping Tradition Alive When Mackynzie (who’s now 9) joined the family, it looked as though Josh and Anna would follow in his parents’ footsteps. 4. D.C. Bound But the couple surprised fans when they moved to Washington. D.C. so that he could work as a lobbyist. 5. Keeping Up the Pace Two more kids — Michael and Marcus — followed soon after Mackynzie. 6. Doing the Duggar Deed Josh and Anna continued to welcome kids at the rate of one every two years, and they seemed to have the full support of both fans and his family. View Slideshow
