Shirley Franklin Claims Atlanta Mayoral Election Isn’t About Race… While Caping For Crooked White Candidate

Shirley Franklin Endorses Mary Norwood Over Keisha Lance Bottoms Things are getting a little crazy in the Atlanta Mayoral race! 43 years of Democratic leadership in Atlanta will come to an end if Mary Norwood is elected over Keisha Lance Bottoms. The two candidates faceoff in a runoff Tuesday Dec. 5 that could potentially put a white person as Mayor for the first time in over forty years. This week former Mayor Shirley Franklin shocked some folks by endorsing Mary Norwood, the endorsement is being run as part of an ad for Norwood, primarily on black radio. Here’s a transcript via the AJC: “I’ve endorsed Mary Norwood for mayor. Some people say that endorsement may hurt my legacy, because I’ve endorsed a white woman over a black woman. This election is about character, transparency, and integrity. Not race. “I’ve worked for mayors Maynard Jackson and Andrew Young, supported Gov. Roy Barnes, and have always fought for civil rights. I am proud to stand with Ceasar Mitchell, Cathy Woolard, John Eaves, Peter Aman, the policemen, the firefighters, and city workers – all who endorsed Mary Norwood for mayor. “We can’t stand by and do nothing about the corruption and pay-to-play politics at City Hall. We must stand together….” It’s interesting that Franklin mentions corruption because a lot of Atlanta residents feel she was corrupt during her term because the entire time she was Mayor her family operated a business at the airport. She was also accused of improperly, without council authorization, transferring over 100M improperly. Franklin’s term as Mayor is also remembered negatively because it was on her watch that an innocent 92-year-old woman, Katherine Johnson was killed in her home. After the Eagle Raid occurred, the city had to pay millions of dollars to settle lawsuits. There are also many who point out Franklin’s association with Billy Linville’s firm, reportedly being paid by the Norwood campaign. Soooooo seems kinda crazy that Franklin is the one out here talking about corruption. On Friday, former Atlanta School Board candidate Charlie Stadtlander provided a 150-page dossier on Norwood. Statlander said after advising Norwood’s campaign earlier this year he refused to continue working with her because she wouldn’t correct financial impropriety. Here are two short but damning clips from that press conference: According to AJC reports: A spokesperson for Norwood said that Stadtlander was fired from the campaign. Stadtlander said that was news to him and later showed reporters a $1,000 check that Norwood had written to his election campaign in July. With the runoff just days away and polls showing Keisha Lance Bottoms trailing, much of black Atlanta has rallied around Bottoms. Killer Mike spoke out publicly this weekend supporting Bottoms: Atlanta if you haven’t already gone to the polls, make sure you do!

Jersey Shore: The REAL Reason Sammi Sweetheart Won’t Be Returning!

Just a few days ago, we got the most wonderful news that we’d heard in a very, very long time … Jersey Shore is coming back! For real this time, too, not just for one lame special . MTV announced the big news during the series premiere of their new show, Floribama Shore, a Jersey Shore “spin-off” set down south. Or really, Snooki announced the big news in a short little teaser that aired along with the show, screaming “We’re back, bitches!” It’s enough to warm your heart and give you hope in the hopeless time, isn’t it? We don’t have too many details yet — we know the new show will be called Jersey Shore Family Vacation , and it will air sometime in 2018. Snooki — or Nicole Polizzi, as she may prefer to go by now — will be there, of course, as will her bestie, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, and her fellow meatball, Deena Nicole Cortese. Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino will also be going on that family vacation, along with Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, and the delightful Paul “Pauly D” Delvecchio. So who’s missing? You know, besides Angelina, lovingly known by her former castmates as the Staten Island Dump. You know who’s missing — Sammi Giancola. Yes, for some totally unfair reason, we’re getting new Jersey Shore in 2018, but we won’t be seeing Sammi Sweetheart. And we came so close to heaven, didn’t we? Ever since the news of Sammi’s absence broke, Jersey Shore fans everywhere have been in mourning — and they’ve also been demanding answers. Up until now, we haven’t had any real explanation for why she won’t be there with the rest of those lovable guidos and guidettes. Some sources claimed that she was working on a deal to appear on Celebrity Big Brother, but most fans assume that she just doesn’t want to film with Ronnie again after all these years. It makes sense — if you’ve seen literally any footage from the show, you know that Sammi and Ronnie had a ridiculously toxic relationship. Remember how many times they broke up and got back together, just to break up again? How many times they made each other cry? What about the time that he trashed her room after a fight? Or the time that she punched him in the face just for talking to JWoww? Ooh, ooh, how about the time that he referred to her “Fred Flinstone toe” and she lost her mind? Yeah, so Ronnie and Sammi have some history, and it would make sense if they didn’t want to be around each other after everything that’s happened between them. But is that the whole reason Sammi’s not coming back? According to Snooki, yep. On a podcast earlier this week, Snooki said “Everyone’s asking why Sammi’s not doing it. You have to ask her that, I’m not gonna speak for her.” But then she went on to say that “Sammi is just in such a happy place that I feel like she doesn’t want to jump back into that drama if it does happen.” “And being that there was a lot of Ron and Sam drama when we did film, it was just really hard on both of them,” she added. “So I just think she doesn’t want that anymore.” That’s more than fair, but still disappointing. Don’t give up hope yet though — filming still hasn’t started yet, and Snooki revealed that the rest of the crew has been “begging her to come back on the show” because “it’s gonna be different.” “Everyone pray that Sammi comes back,” she said, “because I feel like she might change her mind.” “Sam, if you’re listening, come to the show. Like, stop being — stop it. Stop it right now before I spank you.” Yes, Sam, please. Stop Or, to speak to her in her own language, “OH MY GAAAAAHD, STAAAAAHP.” View Slideshow: Jersey Shore Cast: Where Are They Now?

Little People, Big World Fans are Actually Dragging Ember Over This Outfit

Little People, Big World viewers may be growing a tad anxious for the TLC series to return. We say this because a handful of these fans are growing a bit salty online. We’ve taken note of this on a few recent occasions. For example, Audrey Roloff recently received backlash for the outfit she wore to the doctor’s office. We’re not kidding. We’re totally serious. Some Internet users gave Roloff flak because she donned ripped jeans for a check-up. Elsewhere, meanwhile, Amy Roloff can scarcely do anything without hearing from a certain segment of her followers. She is somehow still getting grief for keeping her last name after she and Matt filed for divorce. And now it’s Ember Jean Roloff’s turn to face the insulting music. Yes, Ember Jean Roloff. The baby who was born in September. You won’t believe what some folks have said in response to the precious photo above. Amy shared the picture on Saturday, along with a caption that reads as follows: “Cute aggression has peaked. I’m going to have the wrinkliest lips when I’m older from curling them in and squeezing them together – aka making “the face” as Jermey calls it. “It’s the cute aggression face. “I make it when I think Jer is really cute, or Pine is really cute, but it’s a whole new level with Ember… “Sometimes my lips even get sore. Anyone else?” How adorable, right? Audrey can’t stop smiling over her daughter. Nope, wrong. Some trolls out there found something to criticize about this image of mother and very young child. “Why always the ugly brown tights?” one critic wondered upon seeing the snapshot, while another added: “Very cute but she is never dressed (with) nice little colors.” What can even be said about these pieces of criticism?!? If you find it necessary to say mean things about how a mother dresses her baby, perhaps you ought to take a long hard look in the mirror, as opposed to at that baby’s ensemble. Seriously. Just don’t do it, okay? Thankfully, Audrey isn’t letting the backlash get to her. Far from it. She’s just savoring every second she has with her child. “I’m torn between wanting her to fit in my palms forever, and being so excited to watch her personality unfold,” Roloff recently explained on Instagram, adding: “When I catch a gummy grin or listen to her little owl sounds I can’t help but unravel with joy. “These are moments without the pressure of time, fully embraced and deeply cherished. Baby girl, you are a blessing, heritage, and reward.” Amen, Auds. View Slideshow: Audrey Roloff: This is Why We Named Our Daughter Ember

Pamela Anderson Said WHAT About Harvey Weinstein Accusers?!?

Pamela Anderson doesn't have much sympathy for the women who have accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment or assault. Several weeks ago, countless alleged victims came out and claimed the movie producer made unwanted passes at them or forced them to take part in unwanted sex acts. More than one has even claimed she was raped by Weinstein . Thanks to these courageous women, numerous others have come out and leveled charges of similar mistreatment against such stars as Louis CK, Charlie Rose and Matt Lauer. But Anderson doesn't see Weinstein's accusers as brave or courageous. She sees them as… stupid?!? “It was common knowledge that certain producers or certain people in Hollywood or people to avoid, privately,” Anderson told Megyn Kelly on Friday morning, adding: “You know what you're getting into if you're going into a hotel room alone.” Did they, though? Did these young women, many of whom were just starting out in Hollywood, really know Weinstein was such a monster? And what is Anderson's general point here anyway? Is she really placing even an ounce of blame on the victims of sexual assault? Saying you should have known better after someone gets raped is never a good look. The ex-Baywatch star went on to say women need the “ability of self-protection.” Meaning what, exactly? “There are a lot of self-protection courses. There is even a well known story of suffragettes learning martial arts.” Asked about her comments by TMZ, Anderson insists she was “not victim blaming.” Weinstein is absolutely “a sexist pig and a bully,” she added and the women did not deserve what he reportedly did to them. Still, she says she won't be “coerced into apology” and she stands by her original comments to Kelly. Watch them in context below. What do you think?

Farrah Abraham: MTV Owes Me an Apology and SO MUCH MONEY!

Ready to hear more details about the vicious hate crimes MTV has committed against Farrah Abraham? Well, ready or not, Farrah has a story to tell and she won’t stop until she sees justice. To recap, our girl here announced that MTV had fired her from Teen Mom OG about a month ago, after she began masturbating on livestreams on a cam girl site. She was very angry about this, and that anger combined with whatever’s going on in that head of hers meant that her statements about the matter didn’t make much sense. But the general idea is that Farrah believes it was unfair of MTV to fire her for what she does on her own time, when she’s not filming — especially because they didn’t even actually fire her . She was given an ultimatum, and we saw that in the Teen Mom OG supertease that came out this week. In a clip that will air later in the season, she’s told that if she continues working in the adult industry, then MTV would be unable to keep her on the show. Teen Mom OG Trailer: Pregnancy Tests, Breakups, Firings, and MORE! She’s said that this was just a tactic to create drama for the show , to manipulate her into giving good footage. Or, well, she didn’t say that, because clear communication is very hard for her, but that’s what she was trying to say. We think. OK, so Farrah has been ranting on and off for the past month about how manipulative and hateful and awful MTV is, right? And it seems like seeing that clip of her being “fake fired” this week really triggered her. In a post she made on her social media accounts, Farrah wrote “Hate, sex shame, discriminate against a women & bully a women #viacom … then don’t admit your wrong.” (Go ahead and settle in, because the rest of this mess makes just about as much sense as that opener.) “#Justice will be served — Judgement day is going to hurt,” she continued. “When you suck at real story lines you contrive hatred, lies, fake ultimatums a big fail to viacom & their dip sh-ts who are followers in this horrible behavior.” And then it gets extra interesting because, after a “bitch better have my money” hashtag, she claimed that MTV owes her “a half season of money.” Does that mean that she hasn’t been filming since the pretend firing? Or that she’s been refusing to film because of all the hate crimes? It’s hard to say, but she did call MTV “the only company who can’t take what they dish out.” “Let’s not forget you had to use this clip for the entire show to get press & attention THANK YOU FARRAH & A PUBLIC APOLOGY IS OVER DUE while I’m being mistreated along the way.” That part is true — they definitely are using Farrah’s potential firing as a way to get interest in this season. Why wouldn’t they? “Again maybe I’ve out grown narrow minded bad work ethics bad producing and I for damn sure don’t treat my employees like this or insult others successful entrepreneurs like this,” she added. “Have fun making me out to be a villain when I have the cleanest record out of the entire case, crew & executives (sex,drugs,lies,manipulation…so much ADULT behavior)…” She makes a good point, because it is pretty bizarre that masturbating on the internet is the line in the sand here. On the Teen Mom franchise, we’ve seen hard drug use, domestic violence, animal neglect, child neglect … so many bad things. Stars of the show have gone to actual prison and then get welcomed back with open arms. It’s just strange that, even after they fired Farrah for her sex tape and then brought her back, the livestreams are supposed to a step too far. Here’s hoping she gets what she deserves, whatever that may be. The money for the other half of the new season of Teen Mom OG, an apology, a few English courses … just whatever she deserves, we sure do hope she gets it.
