Source: Steven Ferdman / Getty Desus & Mero Pull Up On Big Boy’s Neighborhood Desus and Mero are really making the most of their trip to Los Angeles. Following their hosting gig at the TCA Awards and a sold out show at the Ace Hotel, the Bodega Boys stopped by Big Boy’s Neighborhood for an hour long conversation. Throughout the interview, the pair talks about their move to Showtime, why they choose to get political on their show, how often they get recognized in public, and more. Peep the conversation down below to see it all go down:
Kaley Cuoco is in her bra and dancing because she’s made 100s of millions of dollars playing the hot chick on a nerd show, which is nice because you don’t have to be an actual hot chick to be the hot chick on a nerd show, nerds only get hot chicks when they sell their dot com empires for over 10 million dollars – the sweet spot being over 100 million dollars…. But that didn’t stop Kaley Cuoco for buying a set of tits. JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES! The post Kaley Cuoco Bra of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .
Source: Drew Angerer / Getty Teens Wearing “Team Mitch” Shirt Are Photographed Groping And Choking Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Cutout Once again, Republican voters are being mad trash and racist and sexist to the left-leaning women in Congress with any balls, also known as The Squad . In a recent instance, a picture surfaced online of a group of White guys wearing shirts for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ‘s re-election campaign. One of the guys in the photo is groping a cardboard cutout of Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez while another is fake-choking her. The rest of the young men in the photo are posing with a thumbs down beside her. Pictured: seven young white men in “Team Mitch” T-shirts, gathered round a distressed looking cardboard @AOC , groping and kissing her. The caption, “break me off a piece of that.” Future federal judges of America. pic.twitter.com/t877J7Pcye — feminist next door (@emrazz) August 5, 2019 Ocasio-Cortez saw the picture and retweeted it tagging McConnell and witing: “ Hey @senatemajldr – these young men look like they work for you. Just wanted to clarify: are you paying for young men to practice groping & choking members of Congress w/ your payroll, or is this just the standard culture of #TeamMitch ? Thanks.” Hey @senatemajldr – these young men look like they work for you. Just wanted to clarify: are you paying for young men to practice groping & choking members of Congress w/ your payroll, or is this just the standard culture of #TeamMitch ? Thanks. https://t.co/ysRJuwonUx — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) August 6, 2019 McConnell’s campaign manager, Kevin Golden, told The Washington Post that the young guys were not affiliated with them: “These young men are not campaign staff, they’re high schoolers and it’s incredible that the national media has sought to once again paint a target on their backs rather than report real, and significant news in our country.” Golden also said that the campaign “in no way condones” the photo. However, in true political finger-pointing fashion, he still had to redirect blame to Democrats, referring to an instance where former President Barack Obama ‘s speechwriter was caught groping a cutout of Hillary Clinton. “Team Mitch in no way condones any aggressive, suggestive, or demeaning act toward life sized cardboard cut outs of any gender in a manner similar to what we saw from President Obama’s speechwriting staff several years ago,” Golden said. He continued: “We’ve watched for years as the far-left and the media look for every possible way to demonize, stereotype, and publicly castigate every young person who dares to get involved with Republican politics.” An apology and calling out of your constituents would’ve sufficed. But tis politics. It should also be noted that some of the same teens in the picture above were also captured in a pic posted to McConnell’s campaign Instagram. They’re holding up posters of Supreme Cout Justices Neil M. Gorsuch and Bett M. Kavanaugh …the same man accused of sexual assault and misconduct and still got his Supreme Court nomination.

… and she’s back! On Monday night’s brand new episode of Teen Mom OG, Mackenzie McKee made her return to the franchise that made her semi-famous all those years ago as a cast member on Teen Mom 3. And she wasted no time stirring up the sort of controversy that Bristol Palin, who McKee has basically replaced, could never bring to the series table. After filling viewers in on the major changes in her life — such as her relationship troubles with husband Josh and the health status of her mother, Angie Douthit, who has been diagnosed with stage four lung cancer — Mackenzie jumped right back into the swing of things. By which we mean the following: She accused Josh of cheating! McKee explained on air how she’s struggling to keep up with her children while they were home for the summer. Moreover, since rodeo season was approaching (meaning Josh will be on the road for long stretches of time), the reality star was unsure how to handle all these kids and keep up with work. And then the real drama kicked in… After Josh left to compete in a rodeo, Mackenzie received a text from a woman who alleged that her husband went out to a bar and cheated on her — and Josh was with him at the time. Because their romance had been solid for awhile, Mackenzie had no idea how to react to this claim. But she chose to be direct. When Josh arrived home, she grilled him about this supposed night out without her. What happened? Did he cheat on her?!? “There was no affection or anything like that there,” he said. “I’m just here to tell you that I was at a bar, and I’d like you to trust me when I’m getting a few drinks at a bar . . . I was just avoiding the fight, and I was wrong.” Josh tried to reassure his concerned wife that he’d never go behind her back by being with another woman — but McKee didn’t seem convinced, especially once Josh said he couldn’t promise he’d always tell her where he was going. (Editor’s Note: What the heck, dude?!?) Fromt here, Mackenzie went to see her parents to discuss the situation, getting an update from her mom in the process. It turns out that doctors wanted to start Angie on a new type of chemo, yet she wasn’t sure she wanted to go through with it. Why the heck not?!? “I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that only God can heal me,” Angie said, continuing as follows: “The only reason I’m continuing with all these treatments is, yes, I want to live, but it’s for you guys. I don’t want you to think, ‘Mom gave up. Mom quit. Mom stopped.’ I’m not gonna do that.” We really can’t imagine going through anything like this. “I just want to see you get better. That’s all I want, and if it doesn’t happen I’m gonna get really mad,” Mackenzie said through tears. She added: “It’s like all my siblings were this perfect cup of glass and I was a cup of glass that was shattered, and you were the glue that was holding it all together. When that glue melts, I don’t know what I’m going to do.” View Slideshow: The Teen Mom Empire: Here’s Every Spinoff From MTV’s Biggest Franchise! Quite the debut of Mackenzie McKee, huh?

Toni Morrison, the first African-American woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature, died last night in a New York hospital. She was 88 years old. Knopf spokesman Paul Bogaards confirmed the author’s death, but didn’t announce an immediate cause or provide any further details. Morrison was born on February 18, 1931, in Lorain, Ohio. She was the second oldest of four children born to George and Ramah Wofford, sharecroppers who had migrated north from Alabama. The couple raised their kids in an integrated, working-class neighborhood, an experience Morrison would later explain as follows to The New York Times: “When I was in first grade, nobody thought I was inferior. I was the only black in the class and the only child who could read.” Morrison graduated with honors from Lorain High School in 1949 and went on to Howard University, where she majored in English and minored in the classics. Morrison’s best known book is likely “Beloved,” which centered on a mother making the tragic choice to murder her baby to save the girl from slavery; it won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1988. Five years later, she awarded the 1993 Nobel Prize for Literature, as judges hailed her as one “who in novels characterized by visionary force and poetic import, gives life to an essential aspect of American reality. Morrison was also bestowed America’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, in 2012. You can see President Barack Obama hang the prize around her neck in the memorable photo above. Overall, Morrison was a renowned figure in literature, with multiple novels under her belt that spoke to the African-American experience. Along with “Beloved,” you may be familiar with “Jazz” and “Paradise,” the three of which comprised a loose trilogy — with the first book being adapted into the 1998 film starring Oprah and Danny Glover. Other notable works include “Song of Solomon,” “The Bluest Eye” and “Sula.” Throughout her unparalleled career, Morrison wrote 11 novels in her life, many non-fiction books, five children’s books, two plays, two short fiction stories and one libretto. She also wrote numerous essays and university papers. Morrison is also sort of relevant right now for a very unfortunate reason. On politics, she penned an essay shortly after the election of Donald Trump for the New Yorker titled “Mourning for Whiteness,” calling out white supremacy. A documentary about Toni’s life was made also earlier this year called “Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am.” In a statement released by Princeton University, where she taught, the author’s family called her “our adored mother and grandmother.” “She was an extremely devoted mother, grandmother, and aunt who reveled in being with her family and friends,” the statement said, concluding as follows: “The consummate writer who treasured the written word, whether her own, her students or others, she read voraciously and was most at home when writing. “Although her passing represents a tremendous loss, we are grateful she had a long, well lived life.” She leaves behind two children — her sons, Slade and Harold — and an endless array of citizens around the world who have been influenced by her works and her words. May Toni Morrison rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam

Source: Presley Ann / Getty Last week, the Hotties were hoping to get blessed by their fearless leader, Megan Thee Stallion , with the “Hot Girl Summer” single. Some sleuths online seemingly managed to figure out that Nicki Minaj will appear on the track, and the week-long delay of its release seems to confirm that. The Minaj Society Twitter account posted a tweet Sunday (August 4) that showed a Shazam result for “Hot Girl Summer” with Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign as the featured guests on the track. The pair sparked rumors last month after appearing on each other’s Instagram Live feeds, and Megan herself told her adoring fans that the song would be delayed a week for a rather special reason. It’s safe to assume that the Hotties and Barbz are going to be blasting this track for the rest of the summer should the Nicki Minaj cameo come to fruition. “Hot Girl Summer” drops on Friday, August 9. According to @Shazam , Nicki Minaj is featured on “Hot Girl Summer” by Megan Thee Stallion. pic.twitter.com/w2x8ABUR8A — Minaj Society (@MinajSociety) August 4, 2019 Oh, here’s a video of Megan Thee Stallion running in a bikini because, why not?
