Just What We Needed! Megyn Kelly Has Additional Thoughts On Blackface
As if our current national discourse in #thesetryingtimes wasn’t breathtakingly stupid enough as it is, Megyn Kelly, America’s least qualified practitioner of critical race theory has come out of retirement to complain loudly about being fired for defending blackface. After Robert Downey Jr. said he didn’t regret doing blackface for Tropic Thunder during an interview on The Joe Rogan Experience, Megyn #tooktotwitter to bemoan the fact that Universal applauded RDJ for sparking a “necessary convo” but fired her for doing the same. Friends, this shit is so dumb, it’s difficult to even know where to start. Like, I almost want to start by reminding you that, per Megyn’s Twitter bio, her children are named Yates, Yardley, and Thatcher. It’s as relevant as anything Megyn had to say, if not more!
Bill Cosby Tweeted From Prison, Asserting His Status As A Civil Rights Icon
The list of people who might want to consider sending a cease and desist letter to Bill Cosby encouraging him to keep their names out of his mouth is growing. Sadly, most of them are dead but the estates of Dorothy Heights, James Baldwin, John Hope Franklin, and Nelson Mandela take note: There’s a convicted rapist out here who calls himself The Educator and The Political Prisoner comparing himself to your loved ones. The disrespect. The nerve. The unmitigated gall. And on Twitter no less!
People Were Upset That The Woman Who Interviewed Rihanna For Vogue Was Unprepared
Rihanna gave us plenty of delicious material to muse upon in her recent Vogue cover interview. For example, we learned that she did, in fact, tell the NFL to kiss her magnificent black ass in solidarity with Colin Kapernick. We also learned that she “literally smells like heaven” (per Lil Naz X), that she is working on a reggae album, proving that she’s actually from Jamaica, not Barbados like we thought (per Jamaicans on the internet who tried it). Abby Aguirre, the journalist who conducted the interview, was able to give us a lot of new information. Still, people of the internet and members of the Navy (Rihanna’s fandom, not the branch of the U.S. military) had beef with Abby because in her piece she admitted to being unprepared with a list of questions before her sit-down with Rihanna. Lock this treasonous scallywag up in the Navy jail (brig? stockade?)! Whatever its called, Davy Jones’s locker up!
Felicity Huffman’s Former “Desperate Housewives” Co-Star Ricardo Chavira Calls Her Sentence “White Privilege”
Ricardo Chavira, the man who played Eva Longoria’s TV husband on Desperate Housewives, had some thoughts about Felicity Huffman getting a slap on the wrist for her involvement in the Operation Varsity Blues scandal. He was pissed. Unlike Eva, who went out of her way to write a fawning letter to the judge on Felicity’s case detailing what a wonderful person she is, Ricardo doesn’t seem to think Felicity’s a wonderful person AT. ALL.
Alicia Silverstone Went On A Disposable Cup Crusade Against Starbucks
Even staunch environmentalist Super Vegans are sometimes in too much of a hurry to boil water, grind fair trade beans, and wait for their coffee to drip through a non-bleached reusable filter. When time is more important than your morals, you might have to hold your nose and hit up your local coffee shop and ask them to fill up your reusable mug with an unsweetened oat milk latte. Or, if you’re Alicia Silverstone, you go straight to Starbucks and then complain when the mega chain can’t meet your environmental standards. Apparently, Alicia recently had a rough go of it when her trip to Starbucks ended in tears (mother nature’s). Despite bringing her own mug, the Starbucks she visited used a disposable cup to pour her coffee into it. So Alicia #TookToTwitter, describing the cup carnage she witnessed as “depressing”. And don’t get her started on the non-dairy milk situation. Seriously, please DO NOT GET HER STARTED. #TooLate.
Armie Hammer Put Marvel Entertainment On Blast Over Their Trump Loving Chairman
When Armie Hammer tweets, things can either go very wrong, like when he got all preachy about Stan Lee, or they can go mildly amusing, like when he read James Woods for filth. Today, he actually struck a a pretty good middle ground. In the wake of recent calls to boycott Equinox and SoulCycle for supporting Donald Trump, Armie #tooktotwitter to suggest that Marvel Entertainment also deserves some side-eye because of chairman Isaac Perlmutter’s financial support, and political ties to Trump. But let’s be real, people giving up their beloved Marvel shit because of Trump is as likely as all the fish in the ocean giving up water because it’s wet. I know that simile is sweaty, but you know what I mean!
