Mac Miller Update: Family Releases Statement, Awful People Blame Ariana Grande for Rapper"s Death

As previously reported, tragedy has once again struck Hollywood.

Around noon on Friday, authorities, responding to a call from an unknown individual, arrived at the San Fernando Valley home of Mac Miller and found the rapper dead.

He was 26 years old.

As of this writing, the likely cause of death is a drug overdose.

The artist had been well known and respected across the music industry ever since his debut album in 2012… but he was perhaps better known of late for his long-term relationship with Ariana Grande.

This romance ended in May, with sources saying that Miller’s substance abuse issues played a significant role in Grande deciding it was time to part ways.

Just a week later, Miller was arrested for drunk driving.

Shortly afterward, in July, he an interview to Zane Lowe on Beats 1 on Apple Music in which he referred to himself as a “self-destructive depressed drug user.”

But he also assured fans at this time that he was doing okay and that he was “happy” for Grande, who he dated for two years.

Just over a month later, Miller is dead.

“Malcolm McCormick, known and adored by fans as Mac Miller, has tragically passed away at the age of 26,” his family said in a statement provided to multiple outlets.

“He was a bright light in this world for his family, friends and fans. Thank you for your prayers. Please respect our privacy. There are no further details as to the cause of his death at this time

Elsewhere, Warner Bros. Records added the following:

“Mac was a hugely gifted and inspiring artist, with a pioneering spirit and sense of humor that touched everyone he met.

“Mac’s death is a devastating loss and cuts short a life and a talent of huge potential, where the possibilities felt limitless.”

The Los Angeles Fire Department has confirmed that first responders were dispatched Friday after an 11:42 a.m. call about a medical complaint at a residence in Studio City, California.

They did not transport anyone from the scene, making it safe to assume that Miller had passed away before they arrived.

“I just wanna go on tour,” Miller Tweeted on Thursday. “The show is going to be special every night. I wish it started tomorrow.”

Meanwhile, while music heavyweights mourn Miller’s passing (“Great man. I loved him for real. Im completely broken. God bless him,” Tweeted Chance the Rapper), a handful of terrible trolls out there are blamng Grande for what has transpired.

They somehow think the singer is responsible for Miller’s addiction and for driving him to this fatal place due to their split.

In the wake of this tragedy and upon seeing what these awful people were writing on her Instagram page, Grande disabled Comments for a period of time.

She appears to have now turned them back on.

And if she is checking, we sincerely hope she sees that the supporters out there far, far, FAR outweight the misguided haters.

“The amount of tweets blaming Ariana Grande for what happened to Mac Miller is disgusting, his addiction and lack of help is what drove this to happen, don’t point the finger and blame,” wrote on fan.

And another chimed in as follows:

“Just noticed Ariana Grande disabled comments on her Instagram account after a barrage of Mac Miller-related comments. Recognize the true problem here, rather than using someone else as a scapegoat & continuing the cycle.

All so sad & nauseating.”

Following Mller’s aforementioned crash and DUI arrest, someone on the Internet dared to blame Grande for the rapper’s fate.

She wasn’t having it.

“I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be,” clapped back the singer, adding:

“I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years (and always will of course) but shaming / blaming women for a man’s inability to keep his s— together is a very major problem.”

That is oh so true.

And also so not the point right now.

A young man is dead at the age of 26.

It’s a tragedy.

This is especially the case when you consider what Miller said in a documentary a few years ago:

“I’d rather be the corny white rapper than the drugged-out mess who can’t even get out of his house. Overdosing is just not cool. You don’t go down in history because you overdose. You just die.”

May he rest in peace.

Meghan Markle"s Awful Family to Star In Bravo Reality Show

For as long as she’s been a household name internationally, Meghan Markle has been plagued by her awful family and the apparent joy they take in trying to destroy her.

And because 2018 offers daily proof that the intern in charge of the simulation we’re living in is completely hammered, these jerks are being rewarded for their awfulness with the money and attention they so desperately crave.

According to UK tabloid The Mirror, Samantha Markle has reached a deal with Bravo to star in her own reality show.

Sources say network execs are “desperate” to get Sam’s dad, Thomas Markle, on board so that they can set up an ensemble situation in which several sad, desperate d-bags sit around and trash Meghan.

“They want something that is similar to Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” says one insider.

Yeah, just like Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

Except in this version, the whole family is seething with jealousy over Kim’s success, and with Khloe as their evil mastermind, they launch a Shakespearean plot to destroy her life.

It may sound like we’re being a bit melodramatic, but aside from the current White House occupants, it’s tough to think of a family more aggressively awful than the Markles.

These people are so horrendous that Thomas Markle faking a heart attack in order to skip his daughter’s wedding doesn’t crack the top ten list of deplorable things they’ve done in the past six months.

Hell, Samantha’s public declaration that Meghan will be responsible for her father’s death barely makes the cut.

Needless to say, the idea that these people will soon be handsomely compensated for their villainy is nauseating to a large number of people.

Just as an anxious nation hangs its hopes on Robert Mueller, so too are decent people everywhere praying that a man who’s never let us down in the past will come forward.

That man’s name is Andy Cohen.

Cohen make have made his bones in the often-tawdry world of reality television, but dude is a mensh through and through, and Samantha makes the very worst of the Housewives look like Mother Theresa.

Here’s hoping he squashes the Samantha deal to remind us all that evil isn’t rewarded 100 percent of the time.

Kim Kardashian Gets Called Out for Awful Anorexia Comments

Kim Kardashian is getting confronted and called out left and right these days.

First, as previously posted on The Hollywood Gossip, Kim will get into it big time with her own sister on this Sunday’s return episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

Then, Tyson Beckford randomly went at the reality star on social media.

Now, Kardashian is receiving some very deserved backlash by a pair of actress, Emmy Rossum and Stephanie Beatriz.

The Shameless star and Brooklyn Nine-Nine star each attacked Kim online for the way she reacted over the weekend after her sibilings referred to her as very thin and even anorexic.

In footage Kim herself filmed and shared, Kardashian can be heard thanking loved ones Khloe and Kendall for saying such things about her 119-pound figure.

Here. See for yourself:

Kim Kardashian: I Love Looking Anorexic!

The Internet immediately blasted Kardashian for reacting in this way to talk of having an anorexic body (that is NOT a compliment, Kim)… 

… while Beatriz used a personal anecdote to help explain why this attitude is so dangerous.

“Kim Kardashian saying what she weighs and her sisters complimenting her being so skinny is like eating my brain rn,” the 37-year-old wrote as a meme, adding:

“There’s only one time in my life when I ever weighed 119 pounds.

“It was right in the middle of a terrible relationship, and intense eating disorder, and I thought that I could be thinner and look even better.”

Yes, there it is.

One should not aim to be as skinny as Kardashians claims to be and one should most definitely not show gratitude for being called anorexic. It stes an awful example.

Beatriz went on to note:

“Everyone kept complimenting me on how I looked, and I felt desperate to stay at that weight. IT SUCKED.”

Beatriz concluded by offering her support to others struggling with eating disorders, writing:

“So if this sh-t b f-cking w you I GET IT. Try not to hurt yourself over it. I’ve been texting friends for support.”

You tell ‘em, Stephanie.

After seeing Beatriz’s posts, Rossum chimed in some words of encouragement on her own Instagram Stories account.

“@iamstephbeatz, I love you and I support you and you’re beautiful and strong and powerful and a creative bada** woman,” she wrote.

Rossum had a lot more to add, though:

“@iamstephbeatz, the only time I was 119 pounds is when I had MONO. On a magazine shoot everyone was ‘freaking out over how good’ I looked. I had lost 10 pounds and was gaunt and sick and felt faint…

“It totally messed with my head. I love you and I’m with you.”

Similar to Beatriz, Rossum concluded her Kim bashing with a larger message of hope for anyone struggling with body image issues.

“You never know what someone is going through,” she wrote.

“If you’re having a tough time with body image, I promise you’re beautiful and this feeling will pass. Today is just a moment. Practice some self-care and reboot.

“Take a bath. Take a walk. Take a yoga class. Make a healthy nutritious meal and watch your favorite funny movie. Tomorrow is another day.”

Yes, yes and yes.

Is this really such a difficult role to fill, Kim?

You have millions and millions of impressionable followers.

Try being a positive role model for them for a change.

Wendy Williams to Britney Spears: You"re an Awful Mother!

Has Wendy Williams finally done it, folks?

Has she finally sunk to the lowest point to which a human being can sink?

This is a bold statement, we know.

It seems hard to fathom how Williams could sink any lower than the time she slammed the #MeToo movement.

Or the time she called Kylie Jenner’s baby ugly.

Or the time she called Oprah Winfrey fat.

But Williams sat down on her dumb purple chair on Thursday morning and hurled the most personal shade possible at Britney Spears in response to ex-husband Kevin Federline asking for more child support.

As detailed yesterday, Federline is already receiving $ 20,000 a month from Britney because he often cares for the former couple’s two sons.

But he doesn’t think this is enough.

Federline now wants $ 60,000 per month (yes, PER MONTH!) in child support because he says he’s less famous now than he was when the stars split and, therefore, in less demand as a DJ.

Britney is fighting this request because… what the heck, K. Fed? You can’t reasonably support two children on $ 244,000 per year? Which is designated solely for their well-being?!?)

(Yes, Federline has six kids total. But Spears, obviously, is only legally responsible for the two that came out of her womb.)

Most folks rolled their eyes upon reading Federline’s demand.

But Wendy Williams is not most people.

“Britney’s got deal after deal on the table and reportedly she’s making 33 million dollars a year and I’m not counting her money and I don’t want to count her money,” Williams said to open her critical statement today, addressing the singer and adding:

“Britney, not for nothing, but what kind of woman is not taking care of her own two kids as a full time mother, just asking?”

Ummm… many kinds of mothers who have gone through a divorce?

We can’t claim to know the details of Britney and Kevin’s custody agreement, and it’s no secret that Britney has battled a few personal demons in the past.

Her dad actually remains in charge of her money as her official conservator.

This arrangement has apparently been working well and, most importantly here, is no one’s business at all.

EXCEPT…

“Why is your father still in charge of all your money?” Williams asked in her segment. “Kevin’s in charge of your boys, your father is in charge of your money, what are you in charge of Britney, at 36 years old?”

Her mental health?

So she can be a strong mother to those boys, perhaps?

“I get it, she’s got her career and the whole bit, but you’re the one who laid down and had two kids, now take care of your kids,” Wendy actually added, in extreme and ridiculous judgment.

(Spears “laid down and had two kids?!?” What is there to even say about someone who talks about other people this way?)

“How about you fight for custody from Kevin?… Very disgusted,” continued Williams.

For the record, it’s not clear whether Federline really has full custody of Sean Preston, 12, and Jayden James, 11.

But even if he does…WHO CARES?!?

Plenty of dads have custody of their children and Federline is being very well compensated already in this deal.

Concluded Williams, sounding like a cruel moron as always:

“I like Britney Spears and I believe people can get better with the proper guidance and doctors and stuff, but that was Kevin Federline who stayed with you when you were attacking cars with umbrellas and shaving your head and going off the rails of life.

“I’m just telling Britney, you want to deny this man, just remember this is the same man who can write the book and tell the stories…

“He’s held your secrets, he’s the sole custody caretaker of your 11 and 12-year old.”

Yes. That’s it, Brit.

You should pay Federline in exchange for his silence, all these years later.

Wendy Williams continues to be the worst.

Meghan Markle"s Awful Sister: I Will Never Shut Up!

Forget those earlier rumors about Meghan Markle being a bridezilla.

Based on a few anonymous quotes, it just sounds like the former actress is a perfectionist who wants her wedding to go as smoothly as possible.

But sister-of-the-bride-zilla? This made-up term doesn’t adequately begin to describe bitter, disrespectful and all-around awful Samantha Grant.

Grant (who is sometimes referred to as Samantha Markle) has been making the media rounds for months now, exploiting the fame of her half-sibling by using every platform she can find to disparage Prince Harry’s fiancee.

She’s actually writing a book about her sister (which labels Meghan as a “Pushy Princess”), despite the fact that Samantha is 17 years her senior and the two barely know each other.

Of late, Samantha has been in the news more than ever because the father she shares with Meghan has made headlines for two reasons:

1. He will not be attending the Royal Wedding due to a recent heart attack and upcoming heart procedure.


2. He was recently busted for a pay-for-pose scheme in which he would pay paparazzo to snap flattering photos of him.

Samantha has been defending her father in numerous interview, even getting into a heated debate with Piers Morgan after she blamed the media for how he’s been treated.

Watch it unfold here:

Piers Morgan Berates Samantha Markle: You Little Vulture!

Elsewhere, Samantha has not shut up about how she and a few other family members are NOT invited to the wedding.

And she made it clear while talking to TMZ yesterday that she doesn’t plan on shutting up, either.

“If it’s about my life or my fathers’s, there’s something in this country known as freedom of speech,” Samantha told this celebrity gossip outlet, adding in defiance:

“She doesn’t have a copyright on that and she’s not going to tell me that I can’t speak about my own life or my father’s where it’s a matter of public self-defense.”

It’s worth noting, of course, that Markle has not come out and told Samantha to be quiet.

We’re sure she’s thought it because Samantha is dragging her all over the place.

However, Kensington Place simply released the following statement in light of Thomas Markle backing out of the festivities:

This is a deeply personal moment for Ms. Markle in the days before her wedding. She and Prince Harry ask again for understanding and respect to be extended to Mr. Markle in this difficult situation.

But whatever, people!

Samantha Grant won’t be silenced, okay?!?

“The media is disparaging us. I’m not going to take it,” she added to TMZ, going on about her relative:

“She’s not qualified to suggest that I don’t under any law in this country. This is not Great Britain. I am a United States citizen. That’s all there is to it.”

Samantha sounds totally sane and reasonable, huh?

According to this terrible person, Markle is “way out of her league to tell me that I can’t speak. I’m not saying anything about her but if I’m talking about my life or my father’s, she has to respect it.”

Except that Samantha has said A LOT about Meghan.

She has said her sister isn’t actually a humanitarian and that she’s a phony and that she has no class.

She has said these sort of things many, many times in public.

But whatever.

Markle continues to take the high road and she’ll at least have the last laugh, that’s for certain/

In what way?

In the way she gets to have sex with Prince Harry for the rest of her life. Woo-hoo!

Game, set, match… Meghan Markle.

Ronnie Magro on Jen Harley: She"s Awful But We"re Making It Work

If you’ve been watching Jersey Shore Family Vacation then you know that Ronnie Ortiz-Magro’s status as the president for life of the IFF (the esteemed “I’m F-cked Foundation”) remains unchallenged.

It all started when Ronnie cheated on his pregnant girlfriend, Jen Harley, on one of his first nights in the South Beach house.

Not surprisingly, their relationship hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows in the months since the notorious “French Fry” incident was filmed.

Just a few weeks ago, Ronnie blasted Jen as a “cum dumpster” and accused her of refusing to delete sex tapes that she made with her ex.

Shortly thereafter, Ronnie requested a paternity test, having apparently become convinced that Jen cheated on him in the early days of their relationship.

(Needless to say, Rahn might have been projecting a bit with his suspicions.)

Not exactly the kind of interactions that inspire a lot of optimism for Ron and Jen’s future as a couple.

In fact, there was a time when the Ron and Jen split up was such a done deal that Magro began dating Scheana Marie of Vanderpump Rules fame.

But now, it looks like Ron has taken a page from Rob Valletta’s book and unceremoniously kicked Scheana to the curb.

And surprisingly, it seems his motivation for ending that relationship was his desire to get back together with his baby mama.

Over the weekend, Ronnie posted a Mother’s Day tribute to Jen on social media.

And today, he further cemented his relationship status by informing his followers that he and Harley on vacation together, and the trip’s been interrupted by illness.

“At our 2nd hospital in 24 hours #MyPeanutsNotFeelingWell,” Ron wrote on Snapchat.

“#CaliFamilyBeachTripFail”

Insiders say Ron and Jen are still struggling – but they’re intent on making the relationship work.

“Right now they’re just trying to focus on their daughter and make sure she’s okay,” a source tells with E! News.

“They’re trying to work things out for her sake. They’re giving it a shot.

“His daughter is his biggest priority so he just wants to keep things as calm and civil with Jen for the baby’s sake,” the insider adds.

“They both really regret how ugly and public their split was so they’re doing everything they can to keep things private right now.”

Here’s hoping Ronnie will stay away from hot tubs for the sake of his relationship.

Bill Cosby & Roman Polanski Expelled From the Academy For Decades of Being Awful

Earlier this week, Bill Cosby was found guilty on three counts of sexual assault.

The news didn’t come as a surprise to anyone who’s paid attention to the seemingly endless allegations against Cosby, but remarkably, it seems there are some who were caught off-guard by the verdict.

For starters, there’s Camille Cosby, who apparently believes her husband was convicted because of racism.

We’re no legal experts, but we’re gonna go out on a limb and say it had more to do with the overwhelming evidence against him.

Anyway, it remains to be seen if Cosby will actually serve time behind bars, but in the meantime, he’s already suffering the consequences of being one of the worst humans on the planet.

Toray, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences – the organization responsible for the Oscars and the Emmys – announced that Cosby has been expelled from its membership.

Not only that, Cosby’s fellow sex offender Roman Polanski has also been expelled by the Academy more than 40 years after he allegedly raped a 13-year-old girl.

“The Board continues to encourage ethical standards that require members to uphold the Academy’s values of respect for human dignity,” read a statement from the Academy.

They should’ve followed that up with “but only in cases where there’s a lot of publicity and it looks like we might wind up taking some heat.”

Obviously, the decision on Cosby was prompted by his guilty verdict.

But it remains unclear why the Academy decided to finally take action more than 4 decades after his alleged crime.

Most likely, the decision was a result of mounting pressure and the massive cultural shift that’s taken place in Hollywood over the past eight months.

Ever since the Academy expelled Harvey Weinstein in October, they’ve faced increased pressure to continue cleaning house.

Don’t get us wrong – better late than never, but we would be remiss if we didn’t ding the Academy for waiting until this scandal was middle-aged to do something about it.

Hopefully, they’ve learned a lesson from all of this.

When people are accused of genuinely monstrous acts, you don’t need to wait until dozens more accusers come forward of multiple decades pass to do something about it.

And it doesn’t matter how much you love their crappy sitcom, their pudding pop ads, or their overwrought psychological horror flicks.

Fergie Sings Sultry (and Awful?) Anthem at NBA All-Star Game

It"s a question that has plagued mankind for years:

Is Fergie hot… or not?

The jury remains very much out on this topic, as folks around the Internet continue to debate the attractiveness of this long-time pop singer.

But now a new question regarding Fergie has gone viral, although it"s one that may have a more definitive answer:

Did Fergie just provide us with the worst rendition of the national anthem in U.S. history?

The artist took to center court in Los Angeles at the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday night, drawing attention before she even sang a note.

For what reason? Just look at the revealing ensemble Fergie decided to go with in order to honor her country.

This became even more notable once the national anthem got underway and it became clear that Fergie was intent on sexing up the famous single.

Big time.

"I’ve seen the national anthem performed hundreds of times but never in the key of “Happy Birthday Mr. President” congrats," wrote one Twitter user, commenting on the way in which Fergie seemed to be seducing the crowd.

Or attempting to, at least.

It was impossible not to notice that the players themselves were entertained (in a negative sense) by this performance, while also just being confused.

"Not sure what Fergie was going for on that national anthem performance but if it was “my friends drunk mom acting sexy” she nailed it," wrote another viewer on Twitter.

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green looked especially perplexed by whatever Fergie was trying to accomplish in front of him, as many on social media made a point to mention.

Was this the worst national anthem performance EVER at a sporting event?

Was it the sexist, or does Ciara still hold that title with THIS rendition?

13 Most Memorably AWFUL Movies of 2017

The following movies didn"t merely receive a thumbs down from our staff. 

They received a thumbs WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY down.

These films simply sucked in 2017.

Do you agree?

1. The Emoji Movie

“Make no mistake, The Emoji Movie is very, very, very bad (we’re talking about a hyperactive piece of corporate propaganda in which Spotify saves the world and Sir Patrick Stewart voices a living turd), but real life is just too hard to compete with right now.” – David Ehrlich, IndieWire.

2. Jigsaw

“[it] is one of the better films in the franchise. Unfortunately, that’s not saying much.” – Germain Lussier, io9.

3. The Layover

“I’d say it’s more like an excruciating, embarrassing, profoundly unfunny, poorly shot and astonishingly tone-deaf screech-fest featuring some of the least charismatic performances this side of one of those dreadful ‘reality’ shows in which over-injected women always seem to be yelling at one another while pouring wine or throwing wine at one another.” – Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun Times.

4. Fifty Shades Darker

“Lacking enough chemistry heat or narrative friction to satisfy, the limp Fifty Shades Darker wants to be kinky but only serves as its own form of punishment.” – Rotten Tomatoes.

5. Rings

“Opts for lazy jump scares and a convoluted origins story no one asked for or needed.” – Alex Gilyadov, IGN.

6. CHiPs

“The film’s model is—or should have been—the movie version of 21 Jump Street and its sequel, but the co-directors of those bumptious nihilistic undercover burlesques, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, knew how to turn comedy into suspense and thrills into media-mad absurdity. Shepard just sprinkles overstated banter onto a generic plot and bits of pedal-to-the-metal action, as if he was serving the action-comedy gods by sticking the usual ingredients in a blender and pushing ‘purée."” – Owen Gleiberman, Variety.

Derick Dillard ROASTED by Fans Over New Haircut, Awful Diet!

We’ve seen Derick Dillard with long hair and with short hair. While TLC has fired Derick for his transphobic tweets against Jazz Jennings, fans can still see his haircut mishaps on social media.

And his latest haircut, though neither his longest or his shortest, might be his worst ever. Fans are roasting him over it, left and right.

We don’t want to go so far as to say that the haircut is a divine punishment, but Derick Dillard’s disastrous ‘do might be a natural consequence of the awful things that he says.

At the risk of perpetuating stereotypes … if you’re super anti-LGBT+ and you’re also not the sort of person who associates with many women outside of your family, your hairstyling might suffer.

Maybe that’s not a priority for Derick Dillard?

But though there are absolutely heterosexual men who are hairstylists, in addition to plenty of straight male barbers (I’m not clear on how barbers are different from hair stylists and at this point in life I’m too afraid to ask) …

… We almost wonder if homophobia and some nervousness about women is behind the fact that Jill always cuts Derick’s hair.

Plenty of people cut their own hair or their partner’s hair, but they’re being frugal.

As we saw when Jill and Derick shared those tone-deaf date night photos, the Dillards are not shy about spending money that many believe may have come from their dubious fundraising.

So it may be that Derick is afraid that going into a salon and letting a woman who isn’t his wife (some vile temptress!) or perhaps even a gay man cut his hair would test either his marriage or his faith.

But, you know what?

We should also consider that Derick Dillard’s bigotry isn’t necessarily behind his weird haircuts.

Maybe he just likes letting Jill cut his hair, no matter how it makes him look.

Because, for all of Derick’s many, many flaws, he loves his wife and it’s something that they can do together.

Again, this is just our speculation, but that’s almost sweet.

Speaking of sweet, the “best” (worst) photo of Derick’s new hair comes with him eating cookie dough (the best way to eat cookies) in a snap that Jill shared to Instagram.

Jill wrote the caption:

“My sweet hubby @derickdillard #livingontheedge eating some raw #cookiedough #lol”

And here’s the photo:

His hair.

If you think that we’re overreacting to this 1970s-era horror-show and merely assuming that fans had the same response, think again.

Commenters wrote:

“I’m sorry, but everything about this photo is creepy.”

Many thought that he looked like a creepy uncle from decades past.

“I like this family but this guy looks like someone on the 70’s show.”

That’s a reference to That ’70s Show, and they’re not wrong.

(Note, the emover that was so very fashionable around 2007 is not the same — it had much more body and gave a more sculpted, sleeker look)

“Ahahaaaaaaaa! Cuz he is a SLOB!!!”

That last comment was less about Derick Dillard’s haircut, we think, and more about his recent eating habits.

Remember how Derick Dillard came back from his controversial mission trip, looking as gaunt as Jesus is sometimes depicted?

Fans were worried.

Now, he seems to be snacking on junk food exclusively. We all like junk food, but things like his corndog-and-twinkie “midnight snack” have fans feeling alarmed.

Catastrophic weight loss followed by binging on junk food can be worse than just binging on junk food alone. We’re not shaming Derick Dillard for his eating habits (heck, I don’t even shame Trump for his eating habits), just confirming that his concerned fans have some validity.

As you can imagine, the fan responses to the photo of Derick have now broken down to debates over Derick Dillard’s transphobic tweets against Jazz Jennings and the trans community.

Those calling out Derick for his bigoted stances are themselves being accused of “bullying” by Derick’s defenders.

While posting comments teasing Derick over his hair sounds like classic bullying — it is, ultimately, his choice, we don’t see how pointing out that Derick’s recent controversial statements are bigoted is bullying.

Because his statements about trans kids and about trans teen Jazz Jennings have been … well, inflammatory.

Megyn Kelly Wraps Up Awful Week With Awkward Jab at Critics

Well, it’s Friday, and no doubt many of our readers are wrapping up tough weeks at work.

But folks, rest assured that no matter how many presentations you botched or flasks you were caught sipping from during important meetings (Susan in accounting is so damn judgemental!), you almost certainly didn’t have as terrible a week as Megyn Kelly.

It’s hard to overstate just how hard Megyn bombed in her first week hosting the second hour of Today.

It’s looking more and more like Kelly’s move to NBC will be remembered as the media equivalent of Crystal Pepsi – a costly corporate misstep that left the masses shaking their heads in disbelief that the big guys at the top could be so clueless.

But before we get to the awkward interviews, the savage Twitter roastings, and the on-camera cursing, let’s briefly recap how Megyn went from Fox News firebrand to perma-grinning Savannah Guthrie impersonator.

Kelly signed on with NBC back in January amidst continued shakeups and scandals at Fox.

Many wondered how the politically-neutral-ish network would use Kelly, who made a name for herself as a mouthpiece for the far-right.

And now it looks as though execs were equally unsure of where the 46-year-old would fit into their lineup.

She started out with a 60 Minutes-style Sunday night newsmagazine, and while Kelly’s ratings were decent, her interviews with Alex Jones and Vladimir Putin drew widespread condemnation from her media colleagues.

Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly is currently on hiatus, and its future is uncertain.

But that’s fine, because Kelly is totally done with politics, anyway!

Or at least that’s what she told her audience during her opening segment on Today Monday morning.

Unfortunately for Megyn, it seems she was a much better fit in the political arena than in the world of weekday morning perk-peddling.

The blunders started early and happened often.

First, Megyn asked a Will & Grace fan if watching the show “made [him] gay.”

(Series star Debra Messing later denounced Kelly’s comments.)

One day later, she got roasted by Jane Fonda for questioning the revered actress about plastic surgery in front of a live audience.

“Given the fact that we don’t have a lot of time and [Robert Redford] is right here, it’s a weird thing to bring up – whether I’ve had plastic surgery or not,” Fonda said after the interview.

“I have and I’ve talked about it. Seemed like the wrong time and place to ask that question,” the actress concluded.

The slip-ups and awkward moments were so plentiful that a cameraman saying “sh-t” live on the air barely attracted any media attention.

Kelly may have cut ties with the political world, but she’s brought the living nightmare/trainwreck vibe of Washington in 2017 to morning television.

She’s basically delivering the Trump administration of morning talk shows.

This morning, Kelly attempted to make amends and essentially ask for a re-do with a closing monologue that’s already being torn apart on social media:

“I just want to take a moment to thank all of you so much for watching this week. It’s been very exciting. It has been educational. I’ve just been so delighted that the media response, which has really — no,” she told her audienc in an attempt at humor.

“But the viewer response has been awesome, and I am so grateful to have all of you giving us a chance.”

For the record, the audience response had not been “awesome,” at least not according to the ratings, which have been in steady decline since Monday.

It may be time for both Kelly and NBC to cut their losses.
