CNN Doesn’t Know The Difference Between Faith Evans And Faith Hill

We’re gonna go out on a limb and say that an Anglo-Saxon is in charge of CNN’s Twitter.

Earlier this afternoon, CNN sent out the tweet below. Clearly, something is amiss…

We can’t even imagine what type of dope you would have to smoke, snort and shoot to think that Faith EVANS and Faith HILL are similar in any way outside of being singers.

Moreover, Faith (the Black one) is usually referred to by her first name only. Guess when you’re a black celeb “You Gets No Love” from the mainstream media.

To make matters worse, Twitter is currently flame-broiling the clueless cable news outlet for the faux pas that hasn’t been deleted (just corrected with another tweet).

Flip it over to have a look at the slander…

Pastor Darrell Scott Lied About “Top Chicago Gang Thugs”

Pastor Darrell Scott, the Ohio Pastor/Brian Pumper lookalike who’s one of Trumps dedicated bootlicking boys, is walking back on comments he made about “Chicago gang thugs.”

During that abomination of a White House Black History celebration, Scott told the media that he’d been contacted by some of the top gang thugs in Chicago for a sit-down.

According to Scott, the “top Chicago gang thugs” told him that they want to work with Trump’s administration and didn’t believe in President Obama.

“They told me this outta their mouths,” said Scott.
Furthermore, Scott alleged that the top “gang thugs” would lower the body count if Trump gave them new federal programs—because that makes perfect sense.

R E A L L Y?!

“They reached out to me, because they’re associating me with you,” said Scott. “They respect you. They believe in what you’re doing, and they want to have a sit-down about lowering that body count. So in a couple weeks, I’m going into Chicago,” Scott said.

“I said we’ve got to lower that body count. We don’t want to talk about anything else; get that body count down, and they agreed that the principals that can do it – these are guys straight from the streets, no politicians, straight street guys – but they’re going to commit that if they lower that body count, we’ll come in and we’ll do some social programs.”

Now Scott is admitting that he made all that up, he only talked to one gang member and he made those silly azz comments because he was “sleepy.”

Via FOX 32:

An Ohio pastor told FOX 32 that he “misspoke” at the White House.

He created a national sensation by telling President Trump Wednesday that Chicago gang leaders would “lower the body count” if given new federal programs.

“If they’re not going to solve the problems, what you’re doing is the right thing, then we’re going to solve the problem for them. Because we’re going to have to do something about Chicago. ‘Cause what’s happening in Chicago should not be happening in this country,” Trump responded.

“They want to work with this administration,” Scott added.

“Good,” Trump said.

“Before we start talking about creating jobs, before we start talking about all these other things, before we implement them, we need to reduce that body count,” Pastor Scott told FOX 32.

Pastor Darrell Scott also told FOX 32 a lack of sleep caused him to tell President Trump that Chicago gangs had offered to “lower the body count.”

He said he actually spoke to one former gang member, and not to any gang leaders.

THIS GUY HERE…SMH.

Pastor Scott, who’s apparently quite sensitive, is now defending his actions on Twitter.

Go home Roger!

People Who Left Families For Side Pieces

It’s one thing to be a dirty dog and leave your significant other for a side piece. It’s another to leave your significant other who has your KIDS for the side piece. That’s a whole other level of savagery.

These people had affairs and went on to someone else even if they had kids involved. Crazy world.

Yvonne Orji has quickly become one of our favorite funny girls as Issa’s BFF on Insecure. After an overwhelmingly positive reception to season 1 of the HBO series, we had a feeling we’d be seeing a lot more of Yvonne, but we had no idea how soon. On February 11, she’s set to star in her own commercial on the evolution of beauty in Black Hollywood.

The ad spot is the result of a collaboration between P&G’s My Black is Beautiful Initiative and the Image Awards to showcase black beauty in its various forms. In the commercial, the Nigerian-American actress, who’s also an Image Award nominee, will share her perspective on the evolution of Black beauty in Hollywood while embodying that very evolution herself with her chocolate skin, textured ‘fro, full lips, and contagious smile.

Check out behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot and be sure to tune in to the NAACP Image Awards Saturday, February 11 on TV One. Red carpet starts at 7:30.

No Work, No School, No Spending: National Strike Against Trump Slated For February 17

Protests continue to pop up at various locations around the country in response to President Donald Trump’s Muslim travel ban, but now citizens around the United States are attempting to organize a national strike in which no one would go to work, school, or spend money on February 17 in a unified stance against our Commander-in-Chief.
According to Cosmo, activists got the idea from Francine Prose, an American Writer who, in a column for The Guardian Monday, said: “Forget protest. Trump’s actions warrant a general national strike.”

“So what can we do to protest our current government’s callousness about our environment and our health, its rampant greed, its disrespect for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?,” she wrote.

“I believe that what we need is a nonviolent national general strike of the kind that has been more common in Europe than here. Let’s designate a day on which no one (that is, anyone who can do so without being fired) goes to work, a day when no one shops or spends money, a day on which we truly make our economic and political power felt, a day when we make it clear: how many of us there are, how strong and committed we are, how much we can accomplish.”

Did Shaq Consider Blessing Charles Barkley With A Fade On TV?

The attention to the drama between LeBron James and Charles Barkley is slowly but surely petering out, but it’s making for some interesting TV. When discussing the matter on TNT Inside The NBA, Shaq told Chuck he would have stepped to him with the hands if he told him, like he told King James, he didn’t want to “compete.”
Shaq made the point that it was the personal nature of Barkley’s critique that set LeBron James off.
“When you said that man doesn’t want to compete, that’s what ticked him off. And I woulda did the same thing,” Shaq told Barkley. “I woulda came right back at your rack. I woulda came up here and punched you in your face. That’s what I woulda did.”
To this, Chuck said, “Well first of all you’re not a good fighter…”
There was a slight chuckle heard, then crickets.
Bruh…look at Shaq’s face. Specifically, his eyes. It’s like he was measuring out how long it would take him to get to the other side of the table and mete out swift justice.

Ho Sit Down: Multiple Retailers Drop Ivanka Trump Line

Poor thang! Ivanka Trump is feeling the burn as her jewelry line has completely vanished from Neiman Marcus’ website just a day after Nordstrom told the New York Times they’d decided not to sell her shoes this season.

“In this case, based on the brand’s performance, we’ve decided not to buy it for this season,” Nordstrom said in a statement to the New York Times.

The jewelry line included a $12,000 diamond bracelet which was once promoted after the President’s daughter wore it on camera during an official event — definitely blurring the line of propriety.

While Neiman Marcus hasn’t yet revealed a reason for removing the dozen or so items from Trump’s line, there are several theories — including the boycott being promoted by the group Grab Your Wallet, which operates via the #GrabYourWallet hashtag.

Grab Your Wallet encourages consumers to boycott companies owned by the Trumps and those who carry Trump-branded products as well as those who have offered financial support to Trump’s campaign. Some 32 brands are on that list including Dillard’s, Belk, Century 21, Marshall’s and TJ Maxx.

A Trump representative told Fortune in October that total revenue for the Ivanka Trump Collection (which includes clothing, footwear and jewelry clothing) was up 37% last year, but more than half of women in a national poll said they wouldn’t consider buying clothing from the line. The numbers are even higher among women who are Democrats — 75%.

Does your wallet follow your politics? Will you join in the boycott and hit the Trump’s where it really hurts?

Beyonce To Take Home $1 Million In Coachella Cash

Beyonce quite literally shattered Instagram with her surprise announcement that she’s carrying not one, but two more royal Carter seeds in her womb on Wednesday.

But she also surprised the big wigs that run Coachella, who agreed to giver her a million dollar check for doing her diva dance across the stage at the annual festival this upcoming April.

AEG Live and Goldenvoice had no clue Mrs. Carter was carrying…and seeing as how she’ll be anywhere from 6-8 months along (as no one really knows how pregnant she is) come Coachella time, there’s no telling if she’ll even show.

But Bey ain’t missing no checks! According to TMZ, an insurance clause in the contract makes sure that Bey gets paid no matter what she decides to do.

Whatever insurance company that’s handling it will likely have to pay the fee citing “incapacity” — the condition under which a “high risk” twin pregnancy would fall for a performer.

Now we aren’t sure exactly how late or early in the game these Coachella contracts get inked. BUT, if Bey knew she was totin’ twins when she signed her name on the dotted line, she is the scammer of the CENTURY. Two new babies and, an easy sweat-free check, and a horde of fans so happy that she simply exists that none are truly even upset about it. And don’t even get us started if she drops new music instead of this performance…

Tennessee Titans lineman Quinton Spain Robbed By Random Hookup

Careful who you bring home this weekend, ballers!

With Superbowl LI coming up in two short days, and all the ballers and women who love them descending on Houston as we print this…a cautionary tale comes from Tennessee Titans lineman Quinton Spain.

Spain thought he was going to have a typical night of fun with an attractive young thot he met out at an Orlando nightclub while on an out-of-town visit last week. The two apparently hit it off very well at the night spot, and decided to take things back to Spain’s hotel room.

According to NYDN, once there, the woman made Spain a drink. Spain tells Orange County deputies he drank up…and has no recollection of what happened next.

What he DOES remember is waking up later on and discovering that two of his gold chains, one worth $60,000 and another worth $13,000, and a $40,000 Rolex watch were all missing from his room. As was the woman, naturally.

SMH! Well…we doubt ballers will stop bringing randoms back home for a good time. But maybe they’ll at least put their valuables in a safe or something before they do…

Monique Exposito Will Allegedly Deliver Reggie Bush’s Third Child

Reggie Bush isn’t playing in this weekend’s Big Game, but he’ll still be scoring a touchdown off the field.

Bush’s alleged baby mama to be Monique Exposito is set to deliver their son on Super Bowl Sunday, BOSSIP has exclusively learned.

The Miami cocktail waitress and mother of one was supposed to give birth via C-section on Valentine’s Day, but may have opted for an earlier birth on game day in order to play up the fact that the baby has a famous footballer father, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. The mom of one had to pay extra medical fees in order to move the birth up.

Exposito, 34, spent time in a South Florida hospital this week undergoing pre-op procedures, as she gets ready to deliver the baby, the source adds.

She also boasted of her impending arrival on social media: “Can’t wait to see you! This weekend isn’t coming fast enough,” she wrote on Instagram earlier this week.

The baby is allegedly the product of an affair between Exposito and the married Bush over several months last year. Bush allegedly paid her $3 million to abort the baby and stay silent about their affair, but she decided to keep the baby and at one point was shopping her story to different media outlets.

The earlier birth date means that she’ll also be absent from a scheduled hearing on her divorce from Frenchman Alex Bastin next week. Since the child would be born while the couple is still technically married, Bastin may be named the legal father of the child.

However, in court papers, Bastin said his estranged wife told him that Bush was the father, and said they weren’t having sex around the time the baby was conceived.

Bastin is also reportedly distraught about how the divorce will affect his immigration status, since they allegedly married so that he could stay in the United States.

Adding more drama to the situation, our source said Exposito was dating another man, 22-year-old professional boxer Steed “The Stallion” Woodall, while she was married to Bastin. So it’s anyone’s guess who the baby’s father actually is, the source said.

Elise Neal Still Setting That Body Out

Remember when Elise Neal blew up the internet but putting her 50-year-old body on blast? Well don’t think she’s done putting the world on notice. Neal has been putting out workout videos and doing sessions across the country. And in order to promote her work, she’s showing the world she’s still got it.

So we won’t hold you. Instead we’ll just show you more videos and pics that she’s taken since those iconic pics hit the net last year. Glory be.

Maybe Meek is “too rich” to burgle Nicki’s home…but those facts and figures don’t quite speak to Meek’s level of saltiness. And from what we can tell from not only this video…it’s pretty high.

Pregnant Beyoncé Will Still Perform At Coachella With Special Surprise Guests

Previously we reported that Beyoncé’s recent pregnancy announcement posed a serious threat to her performance at Coachella this year. Despite the #BeyHive’s excitement that she was pregnant the thought of not seeing her take the stage was undoubtedly a disappointment to the fans and festival’s producers.

That said, Beyoncé wouldn’t be Beyoncé if she wasn’t prepared to handle her business and make lemons out of lemonade.

Let TMZ tell it, Bey has every intention of not only performing, but bringing some very, very, VERY special guests with her to help bolster her show.

It’s said that one of the mystery guests is a Roc Nation artist (Rihanna? J. Cole??) and the other is from a different record label. Both have known for quite some time that Bey was knocked up and have been preparing for Coachella for several months now.

No details on HOW Mrs. Carter will perform being that she will be so far along in her pregnancy, but in her world, 2 babies don’t stop no show.

We’d just like to add that there is no way in HELL that a man would still try to perform if he were pregnant with one baby, much less two. We have a feeling that this might be one of the most remarkable displays of #BlackGirlMagic we’ve ever seen.

Federal Judge Files Lawsuit Against Trump’s Travel Ban

The people of the United States aren’t here for burnt sienna POTUS’ travel ban on predominantly Muslim countries. The outrage is so vitriolic that a federal judge in Seattle gave a Dikembe Mutombo finger to the whole thing and Donald is PISSED!

According to NYDailyNews, a lawsuit has been filed against Trump’s executive order and is ready to fight it all the way to the Supreme Court:

“The law is a powerful thing — it has the ability to hold everybody accountable to it, and that includes the President of the United States,” State Attorney General Bob Ferguson said at a press conference after the Friday evening ruling.

Washington is the first state to file suit against the order (New York has joined the suit) but several other judges in both Boston and Virginia have also issued restraining order barring deportation of people affect by the ban.

The order, signed off by United States District Judge James Robart, argues Trump’s executive action “adversely” affects “areas of employment, education, business, family relations and freedom to travel.” Reversing the action, the suit concluded, is thereby in the public interest.

Trump’s resident do-boy boot-licker, Sean Spicer, says the suit is “outrageous” and issued a brown-nosing statement:

“The President’s order is intended to protect the homeland, and he has the constitutional authority and responsibility to protect the American people,” Spicer said in a Friday night statement.

In the words of the great American wordsmith YG, “F**k Donald Trump”.
