We don’t know for sure that Desiigner has never seen fish before, but his level of excitement during a visit to an Australian aquarium certainly suggests that this was a brand new experience for him.
God bless this child. He is truly a special human.

Vivica Fox is speaking on the controversy surrounding her seemingly homophobic “Black Magic” show statements.
As previously reported Viv’s business partner said he no longer wanted to work with her after she gave a resounding “HELL NO” to her dancers shaking it for gay men.
Viv has since said that ALL people are welcome at her all-male shake shows and she’s telling HipHollywood that she’s been misunderstood. Furthermore, she believes Kim Burrell’s recent (and actual) homophobic rant played a part in the outrage.
“I definitely think coming off the heels of that [Kim Burrell] happening that they didn’t even listen to the [interview],” said Viv. “They just said, ‘she’s homophobic!’ And I’ve never been that way. I love the children, I love the kids!”
Viv previously apologized to people who took offense to her comments.
and she’s also confirming whether or not she’s been booted from the show.

RebelMedia ran through some statistics on racism globally and say “Whites Aren’t The Most Racist People On Earth.” The statistics with census and all of that is cool, but this doesn’t take into account how it affects other races and nationalities. The biggest historical impact from racism IS the African Slave Trade.

There have been a LOT of troubling things going on in politics this week as we approach the inauguration of Sunny Delight-in-Chief Trump on January 20th.
The most disturbing, the one that literally means the difference between life and death for MILLIONS, is the sneaky Republican vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act aka “Obamacare”.
While the Republicans play politics with the life blood of the America they want to “make great again”, many are scared s#!tless and others are effusive in their gratitude to President Obama for his overhaul of the tainted, greedy and immoral healthcare industry.

Social justice has been a strong motivation for many of us to get involved in politics over the past several years. But it’s equally as important to participate in other policy matters that also affect the lives of our brothas and sistas.

Kodak Black on the Breakfast Club is kind of hard to understand and fathom. It seems like he is hard to interview and talk to.
A Chinese man was angry after he signed his divorce papers in court. So angry, the man set his ex-wife’s hair on fire! The man is seen walking away like nothing even happen! He was later arrested and charged, of course.
In exactly 7 days Sasha and Malia Obama will no longer be the First Family, the word “former” will precede the title that they’ve held for the past 8 years.
Another pair of former First Family sisters, Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Bush, took a minute to share some uninvited words of wisdom with Barack and Michelle’s daughters about life after the White House via TIME:
Malia and Sasha, eight years ago on a cold November day, we greeted you on the steps of the White House. We saw both the light and wariness in your eyes as you gazed at your new home. We left our jobs in Baltimore and New York early and traveled to Washington to show you around. To show you the Lincoln Bedroom, and the bedrooms that were once ours, to introduce you to all the people—the florists, the grounds-keepers and the butlers—who dedicate themselves to making this historic house a home. The four of us wandered the majestic halls of the house you had no choice but to move in to. When you slid down the banister of the solarium, just as we had done as 8-year-olds and again as 20-year-olds chasing our youth, your joy and laughter were contagious.
In eight years, you have done so much. Seen so much. You stood at the gates of the Robben Island cell where South Africa’s Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for decades, your arms around your father. You traveled to Liberia and Morocco with your mom to talk with girls about the importance of education—girls who saw themselves in you, saw themselves in your parents, saw who they could become if they continued to study and learn. You attended state dinners, hiked in national parks, met international leaders and managed to laugh at your dad’s jokes during the annual Thanksgiving turkey pardon, all while being kids, attending school and making friends. We have watched you grow from girls to impressive young women with grace and ease.
The Bush ladies also offered the Obama sistas this piece of sage advice (considering all the crap that Malia has had to put up with recently):
Enjoy college. As most of the world knows, we did. And you won’t have the weight of the world on your young shoulders anymore. Explore your passions. Learn who you are. Make mistakes—you are allowed to. Continue to surround yourself with loyal friends who know you, adore you and will fiercely protect you. Those who judge you don’t love you, and their voices shouldn’t hold weight. Rather, it’s your own hearts that matter.
If anyone knows about making mistakes in public it’s the Bush sisters. Kinda makes you wonder what kind of relationship Sasha and Malia have with Jenna and Barbara. This letter makes it sound like there’s a big sister little sister thing going on…

Will Flo-Rida really be performing at Trump’s inauguration?
We previously reported rapper Flo-Rida was allegedly set to perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration?
A new report from Radar Online claimed the rapper Flo-Rida will be shucking and jiving for Cheeto Mussolini next week for a an alleged $1 million pay-out.
If you remember, Flo was scheduled to perform at the Miss USA pageant back in 2015 but canceled the show after Donald Trump called Mexican immigrants ‘rapists’ while on the campaign trail.
So, are the rumors true? According to Gossip Cop…. HELL NAH!
Gossip Cop checked in with a rep for Flo Rida, who exclusively assures us the rapper simply won’t be performing at Trump’s inauguration, and this is a non-story. As of now, the only artists confirmed to be performing at the event later this month are “America’s Got Talent” contestant Jackie Evancho, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and the Rockettes. Among the many musicians who have declined the offer to perform at the inauguration include Elton John, The Beach Boys, Charlotte Church, Andrea Bocelli, and David Foster.
WELP!
That’ll learn her.
Remember when we reported on Alexandria Vera, the 24-year-old Houston, Texas teacher who fell in love with her 13-year-old student and aborted his baby?
Well, according to NYDailyNews she’s about to spend the next 10 years of her life behind bars. Chances are when she comes out she won’t even like any penis anymore, much less the one attached to a teenaged boy.
State District Judge Michael McSpadden wanted to be sure that Alexandria got the point:
“We want out educators to teach our students,” he said in court, according to MySanAntonio.com. “We want them to keep their hands off the students.”
Amen, Judge McSpadden. Amen.

Remember when we told you that Tika Sumpter’s happily booed up with her Vanilla King Nick James???
Well the new mommy to Ella-Loren took to Instagram today to give a shout out to not only her baby girl, but to Nick who’s “the best thing that’s ever happened to her.”
Soooo sweet, right?
Nick has also been sharing his happiness with Tika and Ella-Loren on social.
Congrats to this handsome couple.

Earlier this week we posted pics of Demetria Obilor, the traffic reporter from Las Vegas. People couldn’t get enough of her. However, after scrolling through her Instagram people started to notice that she was also posting pics of some chiseled dude.
That guy. He’s her brother, Uzoma Obilor. He’s 21 and chiseled from stone. And the ladies love him. Do you? Let’s see…
We get it. In 7 days, our President will no longer be black, he’ll be more of a burnt sienna. But after everything that’s been said and done it’s REALLY hard to watch black folks continue to meet with him and sing his praises…
What do you think? Can Steve Harvey help lead a lost and inexperienced Ben Carson to the promised land where he actually understands black people?

Miss Robbie is showing no signs of slowing down as OWN prepares to bring back the fourth season of her reality show, “Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s.” In fact, the singer-turned-restaurateur says she’ll never retire — and she’s open to new revenue streams, like having her pies in Walmart, perhaps?
In our interview with Miss Robbie and her son Tim, they shared Walmart has actually reached out to them several times over the years to sell Sweetie Pie’s goods in their stores. So why hasn’t it happened? Find out who’s fault that is and what’s next for the restaurant in the video above.
When we think of the best Black girl squads on TV there’s “Living Single” and “Girlfriends;” that’s it. Of course, Issa Rae is doing wonders to revive Black girl friendship on cable TV but that doesn’t mean we wouldn’t appreciate a blast from the past, a la a “Living Single” reboot, and, luckily, Queen Latifah says it might be a possibility.
During an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” a caller asked the Queen if she could ever see bringing “Living Single” back to life since reboots are all the rage right now and she answered:
“Funny you should ask. We’re actually working on it…It’s not there yet, but hopefully we can get it happening.”
Charlie Sheen might want to delete all his social media accounts because he just stirred the hornets’ nest by throwing a jab a Rihanna. The pair previously feuded after Rih-Rih reportedly shaded Sheen’s ex-fiance, and apparently he’s still bitter about the diss.
Sheen and actor Craig Robinson were guests on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live with host Andy Cohen. When Cohen read a fan’s inquiry whether or not Sheen squashed the beef with Rihanna, his answer quickly showed that old feuds die hard.
“Oh, that bitch,” said Sheen in response, with Cohen saying he’s made the beef worse. “She abandoned common courtesy and common sense.”
Some fans might remember that in 2014, Sheen and his then-fiance porn star Brett Rossi (Scottie Sheen) were out at dinner and Sheen tried to facilitate a meet and greet between the ladies. Rihanna’s team refused the gesture, to which an angry Sheen took to Twitter and attempted to blast her. Of course, being the queen of petty that she is, Rihanna stood her ground and fired back with a dig of her own.
