Phuck Yo Beef: Ciara Says She Could Care Less About Her Feud With Rih-Rih – “It Really Doesn’t Matter….At This Point, I Don’t Care”

She aint got no worries…

Ciara Says She’s Not Worried About Beef With Rihanna

Despite the fact that the angry bird beef between Ciara and Rihanna doesn’t seem like it’ll be dying down any time soon, Ci-Ci says she’s over it.com when it comes to the feud with her frenemy.

via MTV News

Fans probably stopped keeping track of what round Rihanna and Ciara are in in their long-standing beef. But, as far as the “Body Party” singer is concerned, she no longer wants any part of it.

“You know what? I’m cool on it. I couldn’t tell you anything, anything more at this point,” she explained to MTV News about she and Rihanna’s past spats.

“I think I’ve said all I could possibly say when it pertains to her and, you know, that’s pretty much it.”

Future’s lady love also says that she’s way more focused on her music than any drama with Rihanna.

Ciara insists she’s more focused on her new single with beau Future than any girl fights.

“That’s a small thing in the pond, in the pond of fish, I guess, you can say in my world. And the blessing is that right now, which is exciting for me, is my fans are really loving the music,” she said of “Body Party,” the lead single off her self-titled summer album.

She added, “[The fans are] really loving the record and the record’s been moving very fast. So, thanks to my fans. But, you know, I feel like that’s like a point zero percent of the equation. Like, it really doesn’t matter. Like, it doesn’t make or break me. It doesn’t do anything for me. It is what it is. It’s not even a distraction. It’s not a distraction.”

Ciara continued talking that talk, claiming that she’s done addressing the beef and if the fans want answers, they’ll have to take it to Rih-Rih. Read exactly what she had to say on the flip…

What Would Black Jesus Do? History Channel Denies “The Bible” Version Of The Devil Looks Like President Obama

Do you see the resemblance?

History Channel Denies Satan Looks Like President Obama

The History Channel miniseries “The Bible” has been generating heavenly ratings. But the show generated some controversy with its Sunday night episode in which the character playing Satan made his debut.

The controversy was not over anything happening on screen, but rather whether or not the actor playing Satan looks a little too much like Obama.

Via Yahoo News reports:

History Channel has been quick to deny any similarities between the two, issuing the following statement:

“HISTORY channel has the highest respect for President Obama. The series was produced with an international and diverse cast of respected actors. It’s unfortunate that anyone made this false connection. HISTORY’s ‘The Bible’ is meant to enlighten people on its rich stories and deep history.”

The Bible Executive Producers Mark Burnett & Roma Downey also released a statement:

“This is utter nonsense. The actor who played Satan, Mehdi Ouazanni, is a highly acclaimed Moroccan actor. He has previously played parts in several Biblical epics– including Satanic characters long before Barack Obama was elected as our President.”

“Both Mark and I have nothing but respect and love our President, who is a fellow Christian. False statements such as these are just designed as a foolish distraction to try and discredit the beauty of the story of The Bible.”

This is the actor who plays Satan, does he really look like Obama?

UPDATE Voice Of Elmo Star Kevin Clash Resigns From Sesame Street Due To Gay Child Sex Scandal

Elmo Star Kevin Clash Resigns

Via NY Times:

Kevin Clash, the longtime voice and puppeteer behind Sesame Street’s Elmo character, has resigned in the aftermath of allegations — which Sesame Workshop had previously said were unfounded — that he had an underage sexual relationship. In a statement released Tuesday, Sesame Workshop said:

Sesame Workshop’s mission is to harness the educational power of media to help all children the world over reach their highest potential. Kevin Clash has helped us achieve that mission for 28 years, and none of us, especially Kevin, want anything to divert our attention from our focus on serving as a leading educational organization. Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding Kevin’s personal life has become a distraction that none of us want, and he has concluded that he can no longer be effective in his job and has resigned from Sesame Street. This is a sad day for Sesame Street.

Mr. Clash has played Elmo on “Sesame Street” for decades. He was profiled in a documentary last year, “Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey.”

The sexual accusations were made public last Monday, then later recanted by a 24-year-old man who has remained anonymous. The episode led to Mr. Clash coming out as a gay man, something he had not previously discussed in public. “I have never been ashamed of this or tried to hide it, but felt it was a personal and private matter,” he said in the statement last week.

Production of “Sesame Street” was unaffected by Mr. Clash’s leave of absence and presumably will not be affected by his resignation, either. Mr. Clash had been helping to identify other puppeteers who could play Elmo for some time, and they filled in for him while he was away from work, a Sesame Workshop executive said last week.

Welp! We figure it would have to come to this. This is an incredibly sad story for everyone involved. Is his resignation due to guilt?

Who will voice Elmo now?

Where Are My Parents? 15-Year-Old Bi Teen Sent Home From School For Wearing “I Enjoy Vajayjay” T-Shirt

Would you be okay with your kid wearing a tee shirt to school that made references to genitalia?

Via NY Daily News:

A Queens high school sent a student home Tuesday, saying her T-shirt was a distraction — but the bi teen says administrators are trouncing her free speech.

And her mother is on her side.

Brianna Demato, 15, of Woodhaven, wore the “Enjoy Coke”-style T-shirt to Newtown High School Tuesday — and said she was sent home when she refused to change.

“It’s hypocritical,” said Brianna, who insisted she’s worn the flirty shirt to school dozens of times without incident. “They use the word in class — why can’t I, on a shirt?”

The idealistic teen’s conflict with administrators started at lunch when a dean spotted the message written on her cherry-red shirt.

Brianna said she was hauled into an assistant principal’s office, where she was given a choice: Change the shirt or go home.

She refused to change, so a dean called her mother — but Brianna’s mom, Cathy Demato, took her daughter’s side. She rushed to school to defend her child — and make a point.

“They’re discriminating against Brianna. They pulled her out of class for nothing,” seethed Demato, 39. “She’s not hurting anyone. It’s her right to wear that shirt.”

Demato told administrators her daughter’s shirt should stay — but they disagreed. The irate mom said a dean called school safety agents to escort them off campus.

Later, school officials told Demato that if she gave her daughter a different shirt, the girl would be allowed to return to class.

Otherwise, Brianna will be given an instructional workbook with tasks to complete in a separate room, away from other students.

The irate mom vowed not to back down.

“(Wednesday) she’s wearing a shirt that says ‘I’m the B—h From Down the Block,’ ” Demato said. “The message is, she can wear whatever she wants.”

Education Department officials said administrators at Brianna’s school didn’t kick her out, but the pair left on their own.

Either way, school officials have the authority to keep the girl out of class for as long as they want, if they disagree with her outfit.

“The language on the shirt was likely to cause disruption and the language is inappropriate for school,” said agency spokeswoman Margie Feinberg.

Newtown High Principal John Ficalora declined to comment.

Some of Brianna’s schoolmates thought the gynocentric duds went too far.

“I wouldn’t want my kids wearing a shirt like that,” said junior Leann Roman, 16. “Go to the gay parade like that. Don’t go to school like that.”

But others thought the shirt was no big deal.

“I have a lot of friends that wear shirts that are worse than that,” said senior Edward Carmnatty, 17. “They don’t get sent home.”

Demato insisted that her daughter’s clothes aren’t a distraction.

“You can’t stop somebody from being who they are,” she said. “My daughter is whoever she wants to be.”

Is Brianna’s mom just keeping it real, or out of touch with reality??? 15 is a little young to be advertising that you’re a sexually active anyway, isn’t it?

Are 2 Chainz And Big Sean Beefing Over Dance Moves?

Kanye West No Responses »

Sep 122012

By Rob Markman

Only Kanye West can squash this! With just a week until Yeezy’s G.O.O.D. Music crew drops their highly-anticipated Cruel Summer LP, it seems that there is some internal conflict in the clique.

It all started on September 3, just days before the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards when 2 Chainz proclaimed himself the best dancer to MTV News. "Chris Brown, watch out, Chainz boasted while busting a few moves for the camera at Staples Center. "Usher can't touch me."

Deuce's humble brag didn't seem to bother Chris Brown or Usher. Actually, we don't even know if it hit their radar, but his G.O.O.D Music homey Big Sean took exception. Sean urged fans to look reexamine the "Mercy" video where both he and 2 Chainz appear.

"I got the best moves," Sean told us on September 5 in reaction to 2 Chainz's statement. "I got the best. I be swervin'. Swerve, c'mon, that was me!"

The "swerve" dance that Sean refers to is showcased prominently in the black-and-white "Mercy" video as the Finally Famous MC waves his hands to and fro as if he's steering a very large car. The shimmy has already caught on in the clubs, but Chainz, who is closely affiliated with but not officially signed to G.O.O.D., isn't impressed. "Swerve? Swerve, it's only one move. I got multiple moves," he said in protest. "I would take the swerve and I would make that into something else. He has to build up on his dance moves. I have more than one move."

2 Chainz is most known for his frantic two-step, where he throws his hands in the air as if he's playing the maracas and spins around in a circle. It's the same one he showcased dancing up against Nicki Minaj in her "Beez in the Trap" video.

It doesn't seem that the two celebrated lyricists will cave, and with just a week before Cruel Summer hits on September 18, this could become a distraction — or just a funny inside joke. "It ain't even no question who got the best moves, the Detroit player got the best moves man," Sean said confidently.

"I'm the best-dancing rapper," 2 Chainz fired back. "I'm just trying to go at these R&B cats."

Who has the best dance moves: 2 Chainz or Big Sean? Sound off in the comments!

Shocking Images Of Tombs, Huge Rats And Rooftops In The Aftermath Of Hurricane Isaac!

Devastating news keeps coming in from Louisiana and its surrounding counties down South. The aftermath of Hurricane Isaac hasn’t been on the news waves too much because of the distraction of Money Mitts RNC but there are millions of people in need tonight.

With the remnants of Hurricane Isaac retreating from the Gulf Coast north, leaving massive devastation in their wake, piles of dead nutria–large semiacquatic rodents–have been spotted littering the shore in Waveland, Mississippi, on Friday.

But perhaps one of the most striking images to have come out of the natural disaster was the sight of tombstones and caskets from an above-ground cemetery floating among the debris.

Hit the flip to check out images of the destruction. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those down South.

Dirty Dog Diaries: John Edwards Flirts With Female Juror While On Trial For Being A Shady Muhfugga

John Edwards Flirts With Female Juror While On Trial

We’ve said this once and we’ll say it again…John Edwards ain’t sh*t!!!!!!

After a week of deliberations, the four alternate jurors have become the prime distraction for the assembled press corps and spectators in the courtroom.
On Thursday the alternates – three women and one man – caused something of a stir when they showed up in matching bright yellow shirts, hardly bothering to suppress their snickering as the judge addressed the main panel of jurors. Today they are all wearing red.
For nearly four weeks, 16 jurors heard all the evidence in Edwards’ case. After the closing arguments, Judge Catherine Eagles made the unorthodox decision to extend the service of the four alternate jurors, while the primary panel of 12 deliberated the six felony charges. So for the last five days of deliberations, the gang of four alternates has been required to show up at court each day, sent to a holding room with instructions to avoid talking about the case.
Anytime the jurors are in the courtroom, the judge calls the alternates down to keep them apprised of the status of deliberations. And the alternates are also sent to lunch every afternoon with the rest of the jurors.

Since the alternates were identified last Thursday, it has been impossible to ignore the dynamic between Edwards and one of the female alternates, an attractive young woman with jet-black hair, who seems to have been flirting with Edwards for days. The juror clearly instigated the exchanges. She smiles at him. He smiles at her. She giggles. He blushes. The flirtation has become so obvious that even Edwards’ attorneys have to work to suppress their laughter at the absurdity of it all.

The jury returns today to resume deliberations for a sixth day. Edwards is accused of using nearly $1 million in campaign donations to hide his affair with his mistress Rielle Hunter. If convicted, he could be sentenced to as much as 30 years in prison and fined as much as $1.5 million.

Giggling and blushing?? Really?? SMH. This dude is the epitome of dirty doggery.

Another Black Flamboyant Gay Student Suspended: Tried To Rock A “Skirt, Pumps, And Wig” To School! [Video]

Who want’s to explain to their son why another boy is wearing skirts, pumps, and a wig to school blowing kisses at other dudes?

Gay Student Suspended For Wearing Mini Skirt To School

Some of us “don’t blame the school.” Keep that stuff to yourself!:

A male student was suspended from a southern Maryland school for wearing girls’ clothing, and the incident has sparked a big controversy in Calvert County.

Warren Evans, an openly bisexual student at Calvert High School, was suspended for violating the school’s dress code by wearing a skirt.

Evans says the school is discriminating against him and does not believe he violated any dress code.

“I don’t think so. Why not? It didn’t say anywhere in the code of conduct or dress code that says boys can’t dress like girls,” Evans commented.

The school district’s dress code policy states schools can regulate dress or even hair lengths.

Students at the school told News4’s Shomari Stone that female students wear skirts of the same length that Evans wore, but they were not suspended.

School officials will not comment on the suspension. They did say the dress code applies to all students, regardless of gender.

Some parents agree with school officials, saying it’s a distraction for their kids when a boy dresses up like a girl in the classroom. Others simply say it’s not appropriate.

But Evan’s father disagrees stating, “Some people aren’t tolerant of that type of thing”.
