Spike Lee’s Horrible #AskSpike Campaign Spike Lee’s Chiraq movie drops this week, so he’s doing a ton of media for it. Today, it included him doing an #AskSpike campaign with The Root…and it just didn’t work for him. Most of the slander stems from the fact that the movie has been met with tons of controversy over the way it portrays Chicago, violence in the Black community and women. So, the dragging commenced. And it was ugly.
Thanksgiving eve is a huge bar night and since everyone goes to the movies over the holiday, we give you the 7 coolest movie-themed watering holes to check out this week.
Last month, Leah Messer lost custody of her twin girls to ex-husband Corey Simms, and not surprisingly, sources say she took she court’s decision hard. In fact, there were rumors that Leah was suicidal from the embarrassment of losing her girls. If you only looked at her social media pages and knew nothing about her struggles, however, you might think Messer’s life is picture perfect. Leah’s been posting photos of her daughters more than ever recently, and naturally, she shared her annual family Christmas pics with the world this week. On the left is Leah with her three kids. She’s flanked by daughters Ali and Aleeah, who now spend most of the week with Leah’s first husband. On the right, we have Leah with her siblings, who followed in Leah’s footsteps by starting families while they were still very young. Brother Isaac, a high school student, recently welcomed his first child, while sister Victoria, 21, is currently pregnant. Of course, all our eyes are on Leah in these pics, as fans continue to wonder if the troubled Teen Mom can hold it together in the face of mounting difficulties. Leah’s drug use and negligent parenting were all featured on the most recent season of Teen Mom 2, and it’ll probably be a long time before she has the opportunity to regain primary custody of her twin girls. In the meantime, we’re sure Messer will carry on in her effort to convince the world that everything is just fine in Leah Land. View Slideshow: Leah Messer Bad Parenting Excuse Hall of Fame
Fans got an exciting and long-awaited payoff this week on “The Walking Dead,” but is it just a precursor to an even more devastating mid-season finale death?
People from all walks of life love them some Adele . SNL did a funny spoof on how world peace problems can pretty much be solved with an Adele song being played at the time of debate… Pure comedy.
Southwest Airlines Allows Racists To Remove Muslim Passengers Southwest Airlines really ain’t isht after allowing a couple scary azz bigots kick off Muslim passengers just for making them feel “uncomfortable” on their flight according to Gawker reports. The world’s largest low-cost airline carrier allowed a few racist passengers to oust Arabic-speaking and Muslim passengers on two separate flights this week, quickly becoming the official airline for the country’s bigots. Two men, 29-year-old Maher Khalil and 28-year-old Anas Ayyad, who both moved to Philadelphia 15 years ago from Palestine, were speaking Arabic before their flight in the terminal this week, reports NBC Philadelphia. After overhearing them, another passenger on their flight approached the gate agent, demanding they be removed from the flight. The agent acquiesced, telling the pair that they wouldn’t be allowed to board because a passenger was afraid to fly with them. Not knowing what else to do, Khalil called 911, telling police that he’d been racially profiled. “If that person doesn’t feel safe, let them take the bus,” Khalil, who owns two pizza parlors in Philadelphia, said to a Southwest Airlines gate agent, according to NBC Philadelphia. “We’re American citizens just like everybody else.” After a delay and questioning, the men were allowed to board the flight. But this wasn’t the only instance of Southwest allowing racist passengers to pick the flight roster. Passengers on a second Southwest flight from Chicago to Houston Wednesday refused to allow six Muslims on the flight, causing the Muslim passengers to have to be rebooked on another flight. Southwest Airlines sent Gawker the following statement after the incident: We had a slight delay boarding, lasting only a few minutes, while we completed a brief passenger conversation. All customers were boarded and traveled on to their scheduled destination, Philadelphia. Southwest Employees welcome hundreds of millions of Customers onboard annually. We are responsible for the comfort of all passengers and do not tolerate discrimination of any kind. Really?!!?
