Kathy Griffin on Offensive Donald Trump Photo: My Major Bad! PLEASE Forgive Me!

Kathy Griffin is sorry. Like, really, really, REALLY ridiculously sorry. The comedian came under fire from both sides of the aisle on Tuesday after she posted for a Tyler Shields photo shoot in which she held the bloody, severed head of President Donald Trump. In a horrible attempt at humor, Griffin wrote “there was blood coming out of his eyes, blood coming out of his…wherever,” as a caption, hearkening back to when Trump made the same comment last year about Megyn Kelly . It was a sexist, inappropriate thing for Trump to utter at the time. And, in the context below, it was a wildly inappropriate and borderline illegal thing for Griffin to say now. Watch the controversial video and share your opinion on it in the Comments section at the bottom of this post: Kathy Griffin “Beheads” Donald Trump, Pisses Off Internet Shortly after the fake beheading went viral, Griffin started to backtrack on the meaning behind it. “OBVIOUSLY, I do not condone ANY violence by my fans or others to anyone, ever! I’m merely mocking the Mocker in Chief,” she Tweeted. Shields, the photographer behind the shoot, was more defiant in his defense of the pairing’s so-called “art” work. “Can you go to jail for making an artistic statement??? Asking for a friend… @kathygriffin,” he wrote. No, not really. But you can go to jail for threatening the life of a sitting President. It’s unlikely that the Secret Service will actually investigate Griffin and/or that any charges will get brought against Griffin. But she has heard it from Republicans and Democrats alike in the wake of this distasteful stunt. “Disgusting but not surprising. This is the left today,” wrote Donald Trump Jr., turning this into a partisan issue and adding: “They consider this acceptable. Imagine a conservative did this to Obama as POTUS?” Of course, this has proven to be wholly untrue. No one on the Left considers this acceptable. Griffin is almost receiving more flak from Liberals than from Conservatives because this distorts their rhetoric against Trump. There is plenty (and we mean PLENTY ) one can say as a critique of Donald Trump without resorting to such acts of fake violence. “It wasn’t right when peoplel hung lynched Obama effigies, just as what Kathy Griffin did isn’t right now,” wrote Debra Messing, Chelsea Clinton also disproved Trump Jr.’s thesis, Tweeting: “This is vile and wrong. It is never funny to joke about killing a president.” Other negative reactions have included: If Griffin was seeking attention and looking for a way to unify members of both political parties, she has succeeded on both fronts. In light of this never-ending backlash, however, Griffin recorded a 30-second video this evening and shared it on Twitter. “I beg for your forgiveness. I went too far,” Griffin is here to say, adding: “I moved the line, and then I crossed it. I went way too far. The image is too disturbing. I understand how it offends people.” She goes on to say she’ll see if Shields will remove the video in question and all of the photos. As far as apologies go, it doesn’t get much more forthright than this: Kathy Griffin Apologizes for Donald Trump Video But it doesn’t stop us from asking: What the heck were you thinking in the first place, Kathy Griffin?!?!? Seriously.

Tom Cruise Hasn’t Seen Suri in 1,346 Days, Source Claims

There was a time when the name Tom Cruise conjured images of a megawatt smile and a stack of phone books to make him appear less Hobbit-like in stature. These days, of course, when we think of Cruise, we’re more likely to imagine the Sea Org members chained up in his basement or the ultra-luxurious spaceship that they’re scrambling to finish building in time for the second coming of L. Ron Hubbard. Yes, at this point, Cruise is less “bankable movie star” and more of “prophet of the Spacelord Xenu.” His role as the face of Scientology takes up a lot of his time, and we’re sure it’s demanding work. Take one hard look at the husk of a man that is Sean Spicer, and you can see the toll that’s exacted by constantly trying to sell total BS to an increasingly skeptical population. But hey, Cruise can do what Cruise wants to do with his time. If he wants to spend his days having his thetans read and avoiding Suppressive Persons, that’s his deal. Unfortunately, it seems one of the SP’s that Tom’s been dodging is none other than his youngest daughter, Suri Cruise. As you’re probably aware, Tom’s divorce from Katie Holmes was a profoundly ugly one, as the actress sought not only to escape her marriage, but also the Scientology community, which tends to hold its adherents’ lives in a Mafia-like vise grip. She succeeded, but only because Cruise agreed to an arrangement in which he and Holmes would completely cut ties. Unfortunately, it seems that also means Cruise has cut ties with Suri . Last year, In Touch reported that Tom hadn’t seen Suri in 1,000 days . Now, the tabloid is reporting that that number has reached 1,346 days and counting . Cruise is currently traveling the globe to promote The Mummy, and his promotional tour recently brought him to within just 23 miles of Suri, who was in Calabasas when Tom was in LA. Sadly, the actor reportedly made no effort to see his daughter, instead hopping a plane to Australia to continue promoting the film. “Tom could have easily made the trip to see Suri. It only takes about 30 minutes without traffic. It would’ve only added a few hours to his busy schedule,” a source tells the magazine. The same insider notes that Tom has not been photographer with Suri since September of 2013. View Slideshow: 10 Stunning Tom Cruise Claims Leveled by Leah Remini

Price is Right Contestant Sets Plinko Record, Goes Awesomely Insane

The price was very much right for a contestant named Ryan on Thursday morning. On the latest edition of this beloved program, this enthusiastic young man was at first called down to play. He then bid closest the actual price of an item and got to go up on stage with Drew Carey. And, in case this wasn't exciting enough for Ryan, he then learned that he would be trying to win lots of money via the most popular game on all of The Price is Right… … PLINKO! Dropping his first chip, Ryan won $10,000, the most one can win with a single Plinko drop. But he was just getting started. From there, he earned himself a $1,000 more on his second chip, another $10,000 on his third, a meager $500 on his fourth drop and then, yes, ANOTHER $10,000 on his last! That would be a total of $31,500. And that would be a new Plinko record! At this point, both Ryan and the studio audience lost their minds. Chants of “RYAN! RYAN! RYAN!” broke out inside the venue, with Ryan himself happily joining in. It was a special and historic moment. And Twitter was there to document it for all of eternity. Watch the greatest Plinko game in history now!

29 Most Stunning Women of The Bachelor: Who’s #1?

The Bachelor franchise has seen some of hottest bachelors alive, yes, but also some truly gorgeous women over its decade-plus on ABC. It may not have the best track record when it comes to forming love connections, but let's face it, the show does not lack for eye candy. This is true on both sides of the gender coin. In honor of Vanessa Grimaldi winning Nick Viall's final rose, and ABC naming Rachel Lindsay The Bachelorette , let's see how they stack up. No wonder it was a tough choice at the end for Ben, we'll say that. But how would you rank both among all contestants in 30-plus seasons? Take a look at our 29 hottest women of The Bachelor – some of whom became The Bachelorette , not surprisingly – and see if you agree … 29. Raven Gates The pride of Hoxie, Arkansas, Raven Gates, Nick Viall’s runner-up in 2017, is as cute as they come … making it all the more surprising that she has never come. (Sorry.) 28. Kaitlyn Bristowe Kaitlyn Bristowe, the current Bachelorette, is a bona fide cutie. And is also not afraid to say and do what she thinks, upping the wild card hotness factor. 27. Kacie Boguskie The lovely and charming Kacie Boguskie made it a long way on Ben Flajnik’s season, and tried again on Sean Lowe’s to no avail. 26. Tenley Molzahn A controversial pick, perhaps, but we always had a soft spot for squeaky voiced, bubbly Tenley Molzahn. 25. Danielle Lombard Danielle Lombard was one of the more striking women to compete for Nick Viall’s heart on Season 21. She didn’t get a hometown date, but we don’t think she’ll be lacking for interest now. 24. Desiree Hartsock The Bachelorette star Desiree Hartsock had a girl next door appeal and a cheesy authenticity that made her look amazing in anything or nothing. View Slideshow

David Leavitt: Journalist Jokes About Manchester Bombing, Gets Roasted Alive on Twitter

David Leavitt is a “journalist” with a surprisingly large Twitter following. We put the word in quotes because the guy seems to make most of his money live-streaming while he plays video games, and we refuse to live in a world where that's considered journalism. Anyway, we mention Mr. Leavitt not to make fun of his corny ass career, but to point out the abhorrent comments he made in response to the recent bombing at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England. The terrorist attack left 22 dead and at lead more gravely injured. Leavitt thought the tragedy offered a good opportunity to crack a few jokes at Grande's expense. Twitter disagreed. Strongly. Check out some of the best responses to David's douchery in the slideshow below: 1. The “Joke” This is David’s idea of humor. Needless to say, it didn’t go over well. 2. Are We Having Fun Yet? David “The Jester” Leavitt decided to double down with this “dads’ night in the Catskills” gag about Ariana’s name. Twitter dug deep and discovered he’s been making the same joke for YEARS! 3. Anthony Bourdain Cuts to the Chase An objectively accurate description. When Bourdain describes you as a piece of anatomy he wouldn’t eat on the Mekong Delta in front of a camera crew, you know it’s bad. 4. The Ratio “The ratio” on Twitter refers to the responses to your tweet in proportion to the “likes” and retweets. When the responses are higher than the other two, that’s bad. In Leavitt’s case, it was very, very bad. 5. The Rule of Threes Clearly, David studied under the masters. 6. Sincere Advice … … which, of course, David ignored until it was too late. View Slideshow

If she has to. Lindsay graduated from the University of Texas at Austin and earned her law degree from Marquette University in Milwaukee. She works in Dallas as an attorney. 2. The Law Runs in Her Family Her father is a judge. 3. She Can Dance… … While vacuming! (We adore this GIF.) 4. She Loves Sports She wants a man with a “decent jump shot” and said this herself to Nick Viall: “I love sports, but I don’t play games.” 5. Her Favorite Musicians Are… … Michael Jackson and Prince. 6. What Else Does She Want in a Man? Lindsay told Kimmel she’s seeking “someone who’s ready to start a family,” but who can also make her laugh. According ABC, the 31-year-old is searching for a guy who is smart and funny, with a nice smile and sense of humor. View Slideshow

Ariana Grande Concert Rocked by Explosion; At Least 22 Dead

Tragedy has struck an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England. According to multiple news outlets, at least 22 people were killed and countless others injured after a pair of loud bangs were heard Monday evening inside Manchester Arena.  Law enforcement sources in Great Britain and the United States have told NBC News they believe these sounds to have been explosions. Shortly after reports started to leak out about what transpired or may have transpired at the concert, Greater Manchester Police confirmed there were a “number of fatalities and others injured.” It remains unclear just how many people died from the explosions themselves and how many were killed as a result of the stampede that occurred after the blasts went off. Those associated with the event tell TMZ they heard an explosion in the rotunda area (where merchandise is sold), which is located outside the seating area in the venue.  Immediately afterward, mass chaos ensued as everyone sprinted toward the nearest exit. About two hours after outlets starting reporting on the horrible occurrence, police said they were treating it as a terrorist act. There are reports the explosive device was a “nail bomb,” TMZ writes, which would explain why many victims at the scene were bleeding profusely. “Ariana is okay,” a representative for the artist says. “We are further investigating what happened.” Manchester Arena sits atop the Manchester Victoria transit station. As of this writing, all lines to Manchester Victoria were closed, National Rail says in a statement. Northern Railway said the station had been evacuated and local police have issued the following statement: “Emergency services are currently responding to reports of an explosion at Manchester Arena. There are a number of confirmed fatalities and others injured. “Please avoid the area as first responders work tirelessly at the scene. “Details of casualty bureau will follow as soon as possible.” This is what a concert goer told The Daily Mail of what he witnessed after the first explosion went off: “Everybody started screaming and running for the exit … We could hear the police and ambulance sirens. It was terrifying. “There were thousands of people trying to get out at once. They were all screaming and crying. The whole place smelt smokey and burnt.” Added another person in attendance, this time to The Manchester Evening News: “We saw young girls with blood on them, everyone was screaming and people were running.” Victoria Monét and Bia opened for Grande on Monday night and both artists are believed to be fine. Grande’s tour was scheduled to continue at the O2 Arena in London on Thursday night, but it’s hard to believe this show will now take place. Not that it matters at the moment, of course. The Manchester Arena, which opened in 1995, can hold up to 21,000 spectators; it was not clear how many people were in the crowd for the concert. But it is clear that this is a tragedy of massive proportions. UPDATE : We’ve found a video that purports to show the explosion. Look to the left in the following footage and listen for a loud bang: If you look towards the left you see the explosion and hear the bang. I hope to GOD everyone is ok, and so glad Jess and Em are. #manchester pic.twitter.com/q81KHGEJ6E — Joe Gregory (@JoeAaronGregory) May 22, 2017 Said another witness to the BBC: “The lights had come up everyone was just getting out and walking towards the stairs, when all of a sudden this huge sound which sounded like an explosion went off.” “Everyone just stopped and turned around.” “Then somebody shouted ‘it’s a bomb’ and everyone just started running. Everybody was trying to push people up the stairs.” “There was a lot of children there without parents. There was no one to calm them down so everyone was just screaming crying and pushing.” How awful. Simply awful and absolutely unimaginable. Our thoughts go out to the victims of this attack, and we will continue to update this tragic story as more information becomes available. Update : This is the latest string of Tweets from the local police department whose officials are investigating the violence: Update : Grande has suspended the remainder of her European tour until an unspecified date, while the death roll has risen to 22. At least 59 people are injured, 19 of them in critical condition. Police are treating this as the act of a suicide bomber, presuming the attacker is dead, but investigating whether or not he was part of a larger organization/network. And Grande has Tweeted the following statement: DEVELOPING STORY…

Kara Del Toro In A Bikini Is Heaven

Every time I do a post on  Kara Del Toro , I always start daydreaming about how great it would be to start some kind of weekly feature on her and her bikini body. But for whatever reason, her manager hasn’t been responding to any of my tweets or emails. I thought I made them an offer she couldn’t refuse, but I guess maybe they’re holding out for 20 Burger King coupons a week instead of just 10. Anyway, I’m going to keep negotiating. And in the meantime, you guys enjoy this latest round of bikini pictures I was able to put together for free. » view all 17 photos

The Bachelorette Spoilers: Rachel Lindsay Final Three Revealed!

Filming for the upcoming season is still in the works, but The Bachelorette spoilers reveal who Rachel Lindsay picks as her final four suitors. And, very possibly, who she has already picked as the winner. Rachel doesn’t debut in the lead role until Monday, May 22. But, if you know anything about the show, then you are well aware that The Bachelorette spoilers leak like a sieve throughout the spring. Ever since Lindsay was named The Bachelorette – before she had even been eliminated from The Bachelor – speculation has run wild. And, to the surprise of no one, Reality Steve (a.k.a. the Oracle of The Bachelorette spoilers) has been on top of this like Nick Viall on … … well, anything that moves. Pre-Vanessa, of course! As a result of his sleuthing, we can confirm that Rachel has already gone on hometown dates with her final four selections this season. Ready to find out exactly who those lucky men are? Lindsay will start the season with more than two dozen men vying for her heart, and 15 minutes of fame (there’s a thin line on The Bachelorette ). The fab four gents who make it to hometowns: 1. Dean Unglert. 2. DOCTOR Bryan Abasolo. 3. The amazingly named Eric Bigger. 4. Peter Kraus (not to be confused with actor Peter Krause with an “E” of Sports Night, Six Feet Under and Parenthood fame). When it comes down to the final three to take on overnight dates (read: Fantasy Suite sexiness), Rachel had to make a tough decision. Which of them gets sent packing?! Dean Unglert (above) is eliminated, but rest assured, he will be headed to Bachelor in Paradise this summer, according to Steve. How so? Apparently, there’s a new Bachelor Douche Collective in L.A., where Robby Hayes, Chase McNary and Jef Holm are all living together. You can’t make this stuff up … but you can move right next door to them if you’re Dean Unglert, which is a thing that is actually happening. As for the final three of Eric Bigger, Peter Kraus and Bryan Abasolo, there may be a twist this season in terms of scheduling and format. With Rachel’s sister pregnant, and her dad being a federal judge, they visited Lindsay’s home city of Dallas sooner, and not at her home. As of last weekend, all three remaining men met her family, but at a home that wasn’t theirs (for security reasons is the going theory). So who will win the final rose? Will Eric Bigger (above) be the first African-American winner of the show, capturing the heart of the first African-American Bachelorette? Or will it be Peter Kraus (below) or Bryan Abasolo (below him) who outlasts the rest and proposes with a Neil Lane ring at season’s end? Right now, it’s too soon to tell. In fact, with the family meeting Peter Friday, Eric Saturday, and Bryan Sunday in Dallas, per Steve, it’s a bit unclear what the format is. There is some speculation that the overnight dates took place there, though Dallas, Texas, doesn’t seem like the most romantic spot. “Big D” jokes aside … come on. They would be giving Rachel the shaft compared to previous seasons and there’s no disputing that. Besides, people would see them, so what we’re guessing is that the final two (whomever they may be) are now off to overnights instead. Most likely, the destination will be somewhere international, where the social media obsession with The Bachelor franchise is negligible. Sure, The Bachelorette spoilers get out anyway, but ABC would prefer it if there weren’t photo evidence and minute-by-minute live tweets. Just a hunch there. Again, it’s not clear who Rachel Lindsay chose as the final two, whether the exit of the third-place finisher happened in Dallas, or what.  Spain has been rumored as a destination for the final rose ceremony, or ceremonies, but that has yet to be confirmed as of this minute. There’s a lot up in the air right now. All we know is that we’re in for a great deal of drama, controversy, scandal and more when the show premieres two weeks from Monday. When we know more, and we can bring you the spoilers revealing what else happens all spring and summer, we will do so on THG. Spoilers side, do you think Rachel and her future fiance (whichever among the final three it may be) have what it takes to make it to the altar? Stay tuned, people. Stay. Tuned.
