Source: Jason LaVeris / Getty In case you missed it, Terrence Howard had an interesting conversation on the red carpet at last night’s Emmy’s. We’re not sure what EXACTLY he was talking about, but it was something about Pythagoras and questioning where straight lines come from and something about creating the planet Saturn on Youtube without gravity. Yeah. Maybe it will make sense to you if you watch the clip. Or not. Side note: Props to the interviewers who did their best to pull something useful out of this conversation about the flower of life. How are we not talking about the Terrance Howard interview on the red carpet at #Emmys2019 with @KTLA @SamOnTV WHAT ON EARTH DID I JUST WATCH!?!?!? pic.twitter.com/6NBilrkFM0 — StephenGlickman (@StephenGlickman) September 23, 2019 [ione_media_gallery src=”http://hellobeautiful.com/” id=”3059474″ overlay=”true”] Source: In His Image Photography / In His Image Photography Facebook: The Karen Clark Instagram: @TheKarenClark Twitter/Snapchat: @The_KarenClark
A Florida police officer was suspended after he arrested two young children in school last week, including a 6-year-old who “threw a tantrum” only because of an apparent medical condition, according to a relative and police. Orlando Police Chief Orlando Rolón said in a statement that school resource officer Dennis Turner (pictured left) did not obtain the approval of a commanding officer before making the arrests last Thursday. Department policy requires such. “The Orlando Police Department has a policy that addresses the arrest of a minor and our initial finding shows the policy was not followed,” Rolón said. “As a grandparent of three children less than 11 years old this is very concerning to me.” The 6-year-old was charged with battery after she kicked someone at Lucious and Emma Nixon Academy, a K-5th grade charter school. Florida is one of a few states in the country that has no age requirement when it comes to arrests. According to the girl’s grandmother, her behavioral issues stem from sleep apnea. Her arrest was halted by a supervisor and she was returned to school. According to her grandmother, her granddaughter was fingerprinted and even had her mug shot taken. “They told us we had to wait a few minutes because [she] was being fingerprinted, and when she said finger printed it hit me like a ton of bricks,” Kirkland said. “No six year old child should be able to tell somebody that they had handcuffs on them and they were riding in the back of a police car and taken to a juvenile center to be fingerprinted, mug shot” The 8-year-old, who was arrested in a separate incident, was processed and later released to a relative. The story prompted massive outrage on social media. A study was done on the “adultification” of Black girls & showed adults (even Black) view Black girls as less innocent/in need of protection as their white peers starting @ 5 yrs old. This is a perfect example of that. A 6yr old was arrested at school. https://t.co/4T6uczjs2O — Reagan Gomez (@ReaganGomez) September 23, 2019 Officer WITH HISTORY OF ABUSE AND MISCONDUCT arrested 6-year-old for throwing a tantrum in school.

Jemisin (@nkjemisin) September 22, 2019 Kaia Kirkland is six years old. So what if she had a tantrum? Children that age sometimes do. Orlando cops saw fit to handcuff her for it. To fingerprint her. To take her mug shot. She is only six, and consider how cavalierly she was put into the system. https://t.co/wRoMazcFS4 — Jamil Smith (@JamilSmith) September 22, 2019 RELATED: NYPD Fires Officer Accused Of Fatally Choking Eric Garner RELATED: SMH: Jack In The Box Drive-Thru Employee Fired For Mocking Deaf Woman & Refusing To Serve Her PHOTO CREDIT: NBC News

Companies, for the most part, have been trying to figure out how they can help reduce their carbon footprints. PlayStation announced that will be teaming up with the United Nations to make their next console eco-friendly. Announced via the companies blog, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s President & CEO, Jim Ryan will be joining leaders in the gaming industry at the UN Climate Summit. Through a new partnership called the Playing for the Planet alliance, they will all make formal commitments to help contribute to the efforts. Ryan announced that the company will be continuing efforts it started with the PlayStation 4 but taking things a step further with the PS5 . The next-generation console will give owners if they choose to put the console in standby mode at a much lower power consumption than the previous model. Per PlayStation: At SIE, we have made substantial commitments and efforts to reduce the power consumption of the PS4 by utilizing efficient technologies such as System-on-a-Chip architecture integrating a high-performance graphics processor, die shrink, power scaling, as well as energy-saving modes such as Suspend-to-RAM. For context, we estimate the carbon emissions we have avoided to date already amount to almost 16 million metric tons, increasing to 29 million metric tons over the course of the next 10 years (which equals the CO2 emissions for the nation of Denmark in 2017). I am also very pleased to announce the next-generation PlayStation console will include the possibility to suspend gameplay with much lower power consumption than PS4 (which we estimate can be achieved at around 0.5 W). If just one million users enable this feature, it would save equivalent to the average electricity use of 1,000 US homes. The new power-saving setting will be an optional choice for users. Sony is hoping that people who buy the console will decide to think of the planet when powering on their PlayStation 5 consoles. You can add this latest news to the slow-drip of information coming out about PlayStation’s new console. — Photo: CHARLY TRIBALLEAU / Getty
Alright, can we slow down with the remakes and the reboots? According to Deadline , Barry Michael Cooper’s classic crime movie New Jack City is getting a reboot at Warner Bros. There’s no director slated to helm the project but Snowfall fans will be happy because writer Malcolm M. Mays is attached to write the script. And you know Snowfall is arguably the best show on TV, right? The original movie dropped in 1991 with Mario Van Peebles directing and starred Wesley Snipes , Ice-T , Chris Rock , Flavor Flav , Allen Payne and more. It spawned classic characters such as Nino Brown and featured Snipes’ Nino Brown as a NYC drug lord during the height of the crack era and Ice-T’s detective going undercover to infiltrate it. Remember The Carter? Remember Rock-a-bye-baby? Remember “Am I my brother’s keeper?” Yeah, that classic. But here’s the question – are you down for a reboot of New Jack City ? Sound off on social media. RELATED: Wesley Snipes Is All For Mahershala Ali For The Upcoming ‘Blade’ Reboot RELATED: Aaron McGruder Returning For Upcoming Reboot Of ‘The Boondocks’
Source: NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images / Getty We LOVE “Bluff City Law” And You Will Too The EMMY’s are done but many of your favorite shows are returning this week with new episodes. But there’s also a fresh crop of new shows — some of which we’ve already previewed and can put you on notice to plan to watch (or set your DVR’s) now. In August BOSSIP’s Senior Content Director Janeé Bolden traveled to Memphis to interview the cast of NBC’s new series “Bluff City Law,” which premieres TONIGHT on NBC at 10/9 c. Set in Memphis, TN, the series follows Jimmy Smits as Elijah Strait, a successful lawyer known for crusading for victims of civil and human rights violations as well as other injustices. Things get really interesting for Strait after his philanthropist wife passes away, bringing him closer to his estranged daughter Sydney, played by Caitlin McGee. Sydney has been making big bank representing corporations since leaving her father’s firm years ago, but her mother’s death brings them together and when he asks her to rejoin the firm, she agrees. The show has a feel good element, both because Straits firm is known for fighting the good fight for the downtrodden and doing their part to stick it to corporate greedmongers. In addition to Smits and McGee the ensemble cast includes “Hamilton” star Michael Luwoye, Jayne Atkinson, Stony Blyden, Barry Sloane and newcomer MaameYaa Boafo (a delightful actress who we are sure will charm TV watchers as much as she did this BOSSIP journalist). We also have to mention Josh Kelly, who plays Sydney’s ex-husband Robbie, a police officer who proves particularly helpful in the pilot episode. We sense a love triangle brewing between Robbie, Sydney and her new coworker, Jake Reilly (played by Sloane). Check out a little featurette about the family dynamic between Elijah and Sydney below: We asked Smits about the estrangement and how the show will follow their struggle to find common footing. “No matter what area you’re in, people who are very successful in whatever chosen field, they are often seen a certain way by their children,” Smits told BOSSIP. “They know the flaws. What we talked about was Sydney was probably with the firm at one time and he was very hard on her, that kind of thing , that plus what little she knew about the relationship thing with the mother, we have that rebellion thing that happens and she’s decided to go polar opposite to what the family built and the way she was brought up to be very inclusive and this area of the law that she is very cutthroat, totally different thing. In the pilot they talk about being able to use both of their strengths.” If you can’t already tell, the stories hit a very human chord, with some of the cases pulled from actual lawsuits that are currently being fought. The case Sydney fights in the premiere episode definitely mirrors the Monsantos Roundup lawsuit, but Caitlin McGee told BOSSIP that she took the series’ “Change The World” tagline to heart and made sure show writers were aware of the issues she feels most strongly about. “Yeah, I told the writers and said it in interviews before,” McGee told BOSSIP. “The things that I’m most passionate about – my cousin is trans and she hasn’t had the easiest time of it – I am the “B” in the LGBTQ community, it’s very important for me to represents every single walk of life and specifically Black Lives Matter. There’s a lot of things that I need to see that have already been addressed by our writers, either in coming episodes or in the current episodes. So not just holding big companies accountable, which is incredibly important writing about that in a negative form so that it’s not just a headline that we click on and then forget about. The first time that I saw the actual man who was behind the Monsanto case, when I saw the lesions on his face, that’s gonna stick with me for the rest of my life, that’s going to make me care about the case even more, so if our show gets to do that and represent the people that are just part of the headline, as a real human person and that sticks to someone, then that is beyond anything I care about as an actress because we’re lacking empathy in this world at the moment and I wish we had a little more of it.” McGee wasn’t the only one to bring her personal concerns into the writers room, MaameYaa Boafo told BOSSIP how show writers and producers also made her feel welcome when she came to them regarding Episode 5 of the series. “There is an episode that I had one scene in, and based on what the topic was, I asked to sit down with the producers and explain why it was important for my character to be in the courtroom when this case is happening and they added me in it,” Boafo told BOSSIP. “I don’t say much, but I’m so excited because it’s all about the action and I’m really appreciative that the writers and producers can sit down with someone like me, who is the newbie out of all of us and take what I have to say into consideration. They make me feel that at this point now that they’ve given this part to me, that I know this person, that I know Brianna better than everyone. I know they do this for all of us. It’s wonderful to feel heard and I’m only going to pull that card when I feel that it’s important for Brianna’s presence, or voice or opinion or point of view to be a part of what that case brings.” Hit the flip for more from our interview

Well, if you watched that season you’ll know that Mariah never produced said “receipts” but hinted to having them at the reunion. “I don’t want to be in the gutter anymore,” said Mariah to Andy Cohen during the reunion show. “I think she don’t have the receipts,” responded Dr. Heavenly. “I think she’s a liar from the pits of hell.” “No, I do,” insisted Mariah. “In my dressing room. I’m just not even gonna go there. I’m not going to contribute.” Mariah’s husband Dr. Aydin was also seen encouraging her to drop the alleged bombshell. Now Mariah’s explaining why she held back on her receipts and it’s for good reason. Mariah was a guest on “Watch What Happens Live” Sunday and she told Andy and fellow guest, Adrienne C. Moore, that she didn’t whip out the receipts against Dr. Damon because she “loves him” (even though she can’t stand his wife) and because she didn’t want to “break up a family.” Sheesh—do you believe that Mariah (still) has the receipts???
I once met a dude in the early internet days who was launching an online Fishing Tournament. That was his big idea because he had NEVER fished in his life, but he knew that fishing was the number 1 sport in the world, and if he locked this idea in, he’d be a billionaire…. I don’t know if that guy ever became a billionaire, but like I said it was early internet and my big idea was “celeb titty blog that isn’t ad friendly or content normal people will ever embrace”….so I’d like to think that idea worked out and led him to others and like so many people I have met in this internet blogging world who didn’t offer me equity or shares in their companies but who have gone onto be rich as fuck….cuz NO HANDOUTS for the pervert blogger no one takes seriously…. But I do know that this is my attempt to take his lesson on Fishing being the ultimate in clickbait, especially when there are sluts in bikinis doing the fishing…I mean how can a fishing dude, who LIVES an BREATHES and loves fishing…the guy in the wicking long sleeve shirt, Oakleys, khaki shorts, sandals and a visor, rocking KEY LARGO harder than KEY LIME pie….resist tits in bikinis doing what they love…. You are that guy, and here is that clickbait… JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES! The post Top 10 Fishing Girls of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .
Folks, it's another new low for Farrah Abraham! For reasons that aren't entirely clear, Abraham was in attendance at the 2019 Emmys on Sunday night — and while she didn't drag her 10-year-old daughter along as a red carpet prop like she usually does, she still took advantage of the opportunity to further traumatize poor Sophia. Tik Tok was briefly mentioned during the ceremony, so Farrah decided it would be a perfect time to use the app to post a wildly inappropriate video starring her unfortunate offspring. It was disgusting, there's no doubt about that — but did it cross the line into child abuse? That's what some of Abraham's followers are currently arguing in the comments. Check out the nauseating clip and decide for yourself. 1. Working the Circuit For reasons that aren’t entirely clear, Farrah and Sophia have been invited to a LOT of A-list events in recent weeks. 2. Red Carpet Randos First, they attended the Venice Film Festival together. Hey, maybe Backdoor Teen Mom is considered a cinematic classic in Europe? 3. Pond-Hoppers From there, it was off to New York to attend the launch party for Jenelle Evans’ cosmetics line. Okay, so not all of the events were A-list affairs. 4. How Did This Happen? But the crowning event on Farrah’s recently jam-packed social calendar had to be the 2019 Emmy Awards, which were held in Los Angeles Sunday night. 5. Not at the Cool Kids’ Table As evidenced by this hilariously sad collage she posted on Instagram, Farrah didn’t get close to many stars. In fact, it looked as though she walked an entirely different red carpet. 6. Shout-Out From Sophia Sophia was not able to join her mom at the awards, but as usual, she sang Farrah’s praises in the comments section. View Slideshow
Kacey Musgraves out here looking like a bootleg Demi Moore.. Apparently she’s a country singer, which is smart tactics, because if you know anything about Country, you know that the typical country fan embraces the signer of the songs they listen to for life. They commit to them like they are family and they will continue to support them through the ups and downs…like family… It’s a great place for trashy to start off, because it guarantees a baseline audience…. If you don’t know anything about Country Music, you should be watching the Ken Burns Country Music documentary on PBS, it’s amazing. But I love old Country Music and have for a long time…and despite loving old Country music, long before the Country Music revival, I have no idea who is who in new country and thus have no idea who Kacey Musgraves is…but this is her Texan Nipple and that’s what counts.
