The rapper was seeing his baby cousin off to her prom in Memphis. TMZ reports that Drakes dad’s grand-niece was elated to have her matching prom attire and white Rolls Royce ride paid for by cousin Drizzy. Drake dropped money on their outfits and even stopped by the prom itself, according to the report. The kids got a huge surprise. Drake crashed the dance at Fairley High School and then they hit an after party, hosted by his little cousin. We know that girl scored all the cool points for that. How sweet!
‘Morning Joe’ Hosts Reveal Kellyanne Conway Dislikes Donald Trump MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” showrunners dropped some bombshells about Donald Trump’s right-hand lady Kellyanne Conway . Show host Mika Brzezinski , sitting alongside fiancé and co-host Joe Scarborough, revealed that Kellyanne let it be known that she wasn’t feeling Trump way back in the campaign days: “This is a woman, by the way, who came on our show during the campaign and would shill for Trump in extensive fashion. And then she would get off the air, the camera would be turned off, the microphone would be taken off and she would say, ‘Blech, I need to take a shower,’ because she disliked her candidate so much.” She added that Kellyanne made offhand comments that she was just doing what she had to do to get that check for the time being, and didn’t seem to bargain for Trump bringing home that win: “And also said that ‘This is just like my summer in Europe. I’m just doing this for the money.’” It’s interesting to note that the hosting duo banned Conway from the show back in March, saying she had no credibility after making a bunch of blatantly false or generally uninformed statements to the media. Remember “alternative facts?” Yikes. Welp, Kellyanne is in it now. Maybe that’s what’s got her looking so drained and worn out… Splash
Trump Fires James Comey As FBI Director In Wake Of Clinton E-Mail Mistake The the low-budget soap opera that has become the United States of America continues to present plot twist after plot twist. After effusively praising FBI director James Comey for bringing down the hammer on Hillary Clinton during the election, orange Fanta POTUS has decided that he no longer needs him. Like so many Apprentice contestants, and several folks on the executive staff, Trump fired James Comey today with this statement read by Sean Spicer: Today, President Donald J. Trump informed FBI Director James Comey that he has been terminated and removed from office. President Trump acted based on the clear recommendations of both Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The FBI is one of our Nation’s most cherished and respected institutions and today will mark a new beginning for our crown jewel of law enforcement,” said President Trump. A search for a new permanent FBI Director will begin immediately. Comey came under fire yesterday when the FBI released a statement rebutting the idea that Hillary Clinton’s aide, Huma Abedin, had forwarded “hundreds of thousands of emails” to her then-freak-a-leek husband, Anthony Weiner. According to ThinkProgress , the Bureau’s statement clarified that only “a small number” of emails were accidentally forwarded to Weiner. Then comes the fact that despite Trump’s best effort to purport innocence, Comey confirmed that the FBI was indeed investigating Trump for his alleged collusion with Vladimir Putin and the Russians to interfere with our election. Sounds like anyone who thinks Trump might be a shady, dirtbag, scumbucket, is going to get the Ned Stark treatment (spoiler alert) OFF WITH HIS (or HER) HEAD! Who’s President mans is this?!?

Here’s something that won’t surprise you: Like the majority of the civilized world, Lena Dunham is no fan of the odious GOP-backed legislation commonly referred to as “Trump Care.” Here’s something that probably will surprise you: During Monday night’s 2017 Met Gala , Dunham was rushed to the hospital shortly after walking the red carpet. Dunham suffers from endometriosis, a chronic illness affecting the female reproductive system that often results in chronic pelvic pain and infertility. The actress and writer underwent a fifth surgical procedure in April with the goal of alleviating her symptoms for good, but apparently she experienced complications the night of the gala. Yesterday, Dunham shared a photo from her hospital bed in which her custom Elizabeth Kennedy dress can be seen in the background. She posted the pic alongside some thoughts about healthcare in America: “Thank you for all the love & concern that’s been pouring in since Tuesday. Although I’m much healthier than I was a year ago, complications arose from my most recent endometriosis surgery,” Lena wrote on Instagram. “When the healthcare of so many American women, especially our trans sisters, is at-risk- or already nonexistent- I am lucky to be in the position to seek help when I’m in pain.” She added: ‘To those in that privileged spot- never forget that we are blessed and can pay it forward by supporting Planned Parenthood and LGBTQ clinics like Callen-Lorde with our [money] and [time]. Dunham went on to offer words of encouragement to other women who are suffering from chronic illnesses: “I also want to remind all the women suffering from chronic illness that we aren’t weak- quite the opposite, actually. We do our jobs with skill even when we’re struggling. “We care families even when we can hardly care for ourselves. We serve major face on a red carpet when we feel like lying face down would be more appropriate.” Dunham went on to address recent the recent controversies at Fox News , pointing out that on-air personality Diana Falzone recently sued the network for allegedly discriminating against her as a result of her endometriosis diagnosis: “Just that morning @dianafalzone sued Fox after they took her off air for disclosing her endometriosis,” Dunham wrote. “But they’re the ones who lost when they fired her, because everyone who’s anyone knows that if you can battle chronic illness there’s nothing you can’t take on.” Powerful words from a powerful woman. Fortunately, Lena says that despite the recent setback she’s healthier than ever these days. We wish her all the best as she continues to battle this potentially debilitating illness.

Congresswoman Maxine Waters Talks About Why She’s Dedicated To Trump’s Impeachment Clap it up for Congresswoman Maxine Waters. The 78-year-old politician continues to speak out publicly against Donald Trump and a new Washington Post article hones in on her newfound status amongst millenials who are just as determined to see him impeached. The outlet details a recent open mic appearance Waters made at Busboys & Poets in D.C. where she spoke fervently against Trump: “Donald Trump is someone that found his way to the presidency of the United States of America — I still don’t know how,” she said, drawing boos at the mention of the president’s name. “But he’s someone that I’m committed to getting impeached!” “He’s a liar! He’s a cheat! He’s a con man!” she said, each declaration punctuated by cheers. “We’ve got to stop his a$$!” “I’ve been criticized because people said, ‘Oh, you shouldn’t use the impeachment word.’ But I have a deep and strong feeling about what I’m hearing and what I’m seeing and what I’m learning,” Waters said in an interview with The Washington Post. “This involvement with so many of the people in his Cabinet with the Kremlin, with Putin . . . worries me and it bothers me,” she said. It bothers us too! Unfortunately it seems we have yet to reach our breaking point, both publicly or within the branches of government. Trump’s camp a;sp continues to be unfazed by Waters determination: Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House principal deputy press secretary, said of Waters: “Her calls for impeachment are baseless and ridiculous.” Be careful what you say about Rep. Waters though. We all see how Bill O’Reilly ended up riiiiight? WENN
It's been just about a month since Alec Baldwin came to Saturday Night Live to do his lovely Donald Trump impression. And, in case you missed it, a lot of things have happened with Trump in the past month. He bombed Syria, for one, but he also had that massive Trumpcare disaster. Throw in the constant rumors that Melania refuses to move to the White House with him and a bunch of general discontent … Things haven't been going too great for ol' Donnie. And so in this skit, Baldwin's Trump did just want the real Trump does — he met with his supporters so he can feel good about himself. Stopping at a little gathering down in Kentucky, Trump gave a short speech about all the “good” things he's been doing lately. “The media is saying nice things and no one is talking about Russia ,” he said. “Wow, what a difference just 59 Tomahawk missiles can make.” Yikes. Trump was asked questions about new jobs, healthcare, the federal rehab program, afterschool programs, and his answer to all the problems! To just get rid of all of it, of course! And through pain and anger and tears, the people still told him “You're my president!” “See, that's why I came here,” Trump said, “you people stand by me no matter what. It's like you found a finger in your chili, but you still eat the chili because you told everyone how much you love chili. It's tremendous.” See SNL's Trump in action in the clip below:
