Roseanne Barr to Fergie: HA! Even I Sang the National Anthem Better Than You!
By now, you’ve likely read the Internet’s stunned and spirited reactions to Fergie’s rendition of the national anthem prior to Sunday night’s NBA All-Star Game.
By now, you’ve also likely watched this controversial rendition of the national anthem.
If not, well… prepare yourself to click PLAY and check it out below:
Viewers should have been clued in to Fergie’s plan before she even opened her mouth, considering the revealing attire the singer chose to wear for the occasion.
It proved to be quite (form) fitting, as the Black-Eyed Pea went on to deliver what some believe to have been the worst Star-Spangled Banner performance in history…
… but which was definitely the most seductive.
While Fergie tried to turn the persistent nature of the American flag into something sultry and sexy, cameras caught such stars as Jimmy Kimmel and Draymond Green reacting with a mixture of confusion, humor and horror.
“Literally dying at these reactions. Fergie with the worst rendition ever,” wrote one bemused Twitter user.
Added @CoryTowns: “LMAOOOOOOOOO FERGIE SOUND LIKE A BODEGA CAT.”
Charles Barkley even joked on TNT that he needed a “cigarette” after witnessing Fergie pay her unique tribute to the country.
But, hey, if Fergie’s goal was to make headline, she certainly accomplished that much, right?
The criticism has grown to such an extent, however, that even Roseanne Barr has gone ahead and chimed in on the debacle.
Yes, the same Roseanne Barr who very likely did give us the absolute worst national anthem rendition in the history of the world.
It took place in 1990 right before the first pitch of a San Diego Padres game… it was more off-key than the most nauseating of American Idol auditions… it ended with a crotch grab … and it even caused President George H.W. Bush to label the entire act as “disgraceful.”
Before we get to what Barr said about Fergie, it’s worth reliving this trainwreck.
Check it out here:
Still, despite whatever the heck one would call THIS nonsense, Roseanne happily jumped on board the Fergie hate train last night.
“Who saw Fergie’s national anthem performance at the NBA All Star Game?” she Tweeted, adding:
“I think mine was better lowkey.”
Barr, of course, is actually bringing her formerly beloved sitcom back to the air in a few weeks, so we understand why she would want to chime in and make herself relevant again here.
It’s a form of promotion for the series.
But it’s also flat-out ridiculous.
Go ahead and watch that Roseanne performance again.
It’s disrespectful and abhorrent.
It’s a a blatant attempt to make a mockery out of our country’s theme song.
Say what you want about Fergie here, but she was mostly just trying to be different. She was trying to put a unique spin on an old favorite.
She may have wanted all male viewers to feel something rising in their crotches while they listened, but at least she didn’t actually grab her crotch and then spit on the ground.
Roseanne really did this after finishing her version of the song.
You can contrast it with other national anthem performances below, but there’s no doubt in our minds at all: She loses.

Grey"s Anatomy Season 14 Episode 12 Recap: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
Who won the surgical competition?
That was the big question on Grey’s Anatomy Season 14 Episode 12, as the doctors inside Grey Sloan Memorial went out of their way to level the playing field and emerge with a win.
If you watch Grey’s Anatomy online, you will know that April has been struggling to keep the faith after three of her patients died in one day.
This has resulted in viewers getting to see a different side of the character, and it’s obvious she does not care about the way people view her any longer.
This new April has been sleeping with an intern, and even struggled to find a way to deal with the all of the doctors who showed up late to the big meeting.
“Good God, I’ve created a monster,” Webber said as he realized the severity of what April was going through. Maybe he should have dealt with the competition on his own instead of delegating his tasks.
April was not the only one struggling with losing patients. Arizona’s heart was also feeling heavy, and it sent her back to her ex-girlfriend, Carina DeLuca.
Arizona wanted to find a way to reduce mothers dying during and after childbirth, and given Carina’s experience, she asked her to partner with her for the contest.
Carina accepted, and the two women wound up making out later in the episode. They are a breath of fresh air.
Then there was Bailey, who was still coming to terms with her ordeal at the hands of downright terrible doctors on Grey’s Anatomy Season 14 Episode 11.
While she was under strict orders to rest up, she tasked Levi with bringing her things from the hospital to conduct a study of her own.
However, the intern was not allowed to tell anybody about it because Ben and everyone in the hospital wanted her to recuperate following her ordeal.
“What happens here, stays here. No one needs to know what we do in this room,” Bailey said to Levi.
The intern thought Miranda was coming on to him and you could tell he felt strange about everything. Yeah, keep dreaming, Levi.
Finally, Jo Wilson was feeling happy because she could enter the competition with Meredith and not worry about her name being featured in the press.
This was a big contrast from earlier in the season when Meredith had to keep Jo’s name and picture out of the paper because she was living in fear that Paul was going to return.
Thankfully, Paul is gone, and he will never harm her again.
Okay, Grey’s Anatomy Fanatics! What did you think of the latest episode?
Who will win the award?

Grey’s Anatomy returns in March.

Bridezillas: The Trashiest Wedding Show is Back and Better Than Ever!
Do you remember Bridezillas?
If you were a fan of trashy reality shows about ten years ago, there"s no way you don"t remember Bridezillas.
But just in case you were never fortunate enough to witness this gem of a television program, Bridezillas was a show that aired on WEtv from 2004 to 2013.
Each episode featured a couple of women preparing for their wedding days in the most dramatic way possible. They threw fits over everything and anything, and it was just an absolute joy to watch.
Remember the bride who lost her mind on her poor fiancé and her family members when they were just trying to help her? Remember how she screamed and cried and made herself look like an unbelievable brat?
Trick question: that kind of thing happened with literally all of the brides.
As we said, Bridezillas stopped airing in 2013 for reasons we still don"t understand. It was there, and then suddenly it was not, and it was a tough loss to handle.
But we don"t have to be sad anymore, because in what has to be the best news we"ve heard in a long, long time, Bridezillas is returning to WEtv for its 11th season!
In March!!!
And just in case you think it"s too good to be true, fear not, because the trailer for the new season is proof that we"re about to be blessed with more reality trash than we know what to do with.
The trailer begins with a woman all decked out in her bridal gear, screaming "It"s my wedding day!", and we"re off to a very, very good start.
We see a bride kicking a kid"s bicycle, a bride looking furious in a surgical mask, a bride walking down the street with her hair in curlers screaming about other brides.
It feels like coming home, honestly.
Let"s see, one woman throws her wedding cake to the ground, one cocks a shotgun in her dress, one has a breakdown over a veil.
There are two different fights at two different weddings — physical ones between some male guests — and a grandma tells a bride that she should have gotten a boob job so her dress would fit better.
We don"t know what we did to deserve this kind of magic, but we"ll certainly take it.
Watch the full trailer below!

Ami Brown Looks SO Much Better and Cancer-Free!
Only very recently has Ami Brown revealed the good news about her cancer. We imagine that she wanted to wait a while to be sure before announcing that she is effectively cancer-free.
Now, Rain Brown — the family’s de facto spokesperson despite being barely 15 years old — has shared the first new photo of Ami since the good news.
Fans agree that Ami looks so much better.
There was a time when Ami’s odds of survival were believed to be lower than 10%.
She had lung cancer. It head spread to both lungs and to her spine.
Her entire family had to uproot themselves and travel to L.A. so that they could cater to Ami’s needs, living close to the hospital where Ami receives her chemo treatments and living in a house where Ami could recover from the rigors of chemo and radiation therapy.
Fans of Alaskan Bush People had been hanging on to the story of Ami’s battle for her life. But for a while there, things looked bleak. And not just to fans.
Even the family’s youngest, Rain Brown, admitted that she didn’t know if her mom was going to make it.
The news that she was fully in remission is extremely welcome to fans. it was even more of a relief to Ami’s family.
Before the news even broke, officially, some fans wondered if Ami Brown’s cancer was cured in a Christmas miracle.
(At the time, she was still dealing with health setbacks and was still quite sick; also, we won’t tell anyone what to believe, but it was probably a little early to qualify as a Christmas miracle)
After the announcement that she was doing so much better, some fans responded by wondering if Ami Brown had ever really had cancer to begin with.
She definitely did, folks. But now she’s doing so much better. Look!
Rain Brown captioned the photo:
“I would like to give a HUGE thanks to the @nasaarmstrong team They cleared the whole building for us, showed us around and even put a small gift bag of trinkets together for us! Literally speechless! #stayhappy #staystrong #nasa”
Rain also clarified that yes, she absolutely touched everything.
(We’ll go ahead and assume that this was okay)
In the photo, you can see other family members — including Bear and Gabe and Billy — but all eyes were on Ami Brown.
And Ami looks so much better!
She’s standing beside Billy and is wrapped in his arm — but she doesn’t appear to be leaning on him. She’s also out of her wheelchair.
There’s more to it than that, though. There’s a strength to the way that Ami’s standing.
We don’t mean that she’s ready to start bodybuilding any time soon, just that she no longer seems like she’s fighting to stand withe very breath.
If Ami had her wheelchair there and was only standing for the photo, then she’s doing one hell of an acting job.
As for the rest of the family present … Rain definitely looks the most stylish, but we like Birdy Brown’s jacket.
It’s been widely reported that the family has made its exodus from L.A. and is headed off to “parts unknown.” By which we mean Colorado. They’re in Colorado.
They traveled to their new homestead via caravan, including an RV.
Fans speculate that they are filming Season 8 in Colorado, though this wouldn’t be the first footage captured for the season.
We don’t know what their residential situation is in Colorado with their new homestead.
As we’ve learned from their time in Alaska, the “home” shown on the show isn’t always the same as the place where the family sleeps at night.
That’s reality TV for you.

Eminem SLAMS Donald Trump: Actual Poop Would Make a Better President!
If you thought that maybe Eminem was going to ease up on his anti-Trump views … come on, why would you think that?
You’re really just setting yourself up for failure with nonsense like this.
For a good long while now, Eminem has been very outspoken about his disdain for our president, from the diss track he released in 2016 to his freestyle at October’s BET Hip Hop Awards.
In the latter performance, he even spoke out against his fans who were also Trump supporters, saying that “any fan of mine who’s a supporter of his, I’m drawing a line in the sand.”
“You’re either for or against, and if you can’t decide who you like more and you’re split on who you should stand beside, I’ll do it for you with this.”
At this point, things got a little more visual — he simply flipped off the camera, making it clear that he’s not interested in sharing fans with Trump.
He continued his tirade on his new album, Revival, which contains several verses with similar themes.
And in a new interview with Billboard, he’s lashing out yet again.
“I know I say a lot of f-cked-up sh-t,” he says at one point. “But a lot of sh-t is said in jest, it’s tongue-in-cheek, and it has always been that way through my whole career — saying sh-t to get a reaction out of people.”
“It’s my artistic license to express myself.”
However, he adds, “Last time I checked, Trump isn’t an artist and doesn’t have an artistic license. I’m not the f-ckin’ president.”
He makes a fair point.
Later he was asked what he was doing on election night — he recalls that he was “watching the TV in f-cking disbelief,” and that he was “on the phone back and forth with friends, like, ‘He’s going to f-cking win."”
“I called it just from the rallies he was having when he first started running,” he continues. “Because just watching the impact he has, they were fanatics.”
“There is something to be said about the person who really felt like he might do something for them — and he just f-cking duped everybody.”
He says that he thinks Hillary Clinton “had her flaws,” but that “anything would have been better” than Trump.
He actually says that “A f-cking turd would have been better as president.”
We’ll never truly know, of course, or at least we probably won’t — at this point, who really knows? — but that sounds plausible, right?
“It’s just so f-cking disgusting how divisive his language is, the rhetoric, the Charlottesville sh-t, just watching it, going ‘I can’t believe he’s saying this,"” he says.
He also admits that after Trump’s statement on John McCain, he thought he was “done,” because “you’re f-cking with military veterans, you’re talking about a military war hero who was captured and tortured.”
“It just didn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. And that’s some scary sh-t to me.”
Us too, pal.
Eminem even says that while he may not have “hatred in my heart for him,” he does have “serious contempt.”
“I do not like the guy.”
As for his earlier remarks about not wanting to share fans with Trump, he says “At the end of the day, if I did lose half my fan base, then so be it, because I feel like I stood up for what was right and I’m on the right side of this.”
“I don’t see how somebody could be middle class, busting their ass every single day, paycheck to paycheck, who thinks that that f-cking billionaire is going to help you.”
Do you think Eminem is being too political, or is he on point with all of this?

"Horror House" Parents Charged with 12 Counts of Torture, Better Be Imprisoned for Life
David and Louise Turpin – the California parents who reportedly confined, tortured and malnourished their 13 children – now face up to 94 years to life in prison, authorities announced on Thursday.
The couple was officially charged in court today with 12 counts of torture, following their arrest this week for committing allegedly heinous acts.
As previously reported, the Turpins were discovered to have been keeping their kids captive for years, allegedly depriving them of food and keeping them chained to pieces of furniture for hours and hours at a time.
The kids ranged in age from two through 29.
A 17-year old daughter managed to escape and call the police, alerting them to the despicable conditions in which her siblings were being kept.
Bail has been set at $ 13 million for the Turpins in Riverside County, California.
Said Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin on Thursday afternoon:
“All the victims were and are severely malnourished. The 29-year-old female victim weighs 82 pounds.”
The kids were immediately sent to the hospital upon being rescued by authorities and are receiving various types of treatment.
They are receiving antibiotics, vitamins and nutrients and psychologists will soon be brought in to evaluate the victims when their physical conditions improve.
Hestrin also said that the children would “sleep all day and be up all night,” confirming reports from neighbors who have said they witnessed the kids being marched all around the home during very strange hours.
According to Hestrin, “none of the victims were allowed to shower more than once a year.”
Many were found lying in piles of their own feces this week.
“This is severe physical and emotional abuse we’re talking about,” Hestrin said. “It breaks our hearts, but we’re professionals and have to seek justice.”
He noted that the 17-year old who broke free and dialed 911 had been plotting her escape for two years.
On Wednesday, investigators served search warrants to the home, spending approximately seven hours going through evidence, and walking out with several boxes, two safes and pieces of wood that appear to have been part of bed frames.
David’s mother, Betty, told reporters after her son’s arrest that David and his wife had so many kids because God wanted them to.
“I feel they were model Christians,” she told the Southern California News Group on Wednesday, adding:
“It’s hard to believe all of this. Over the years, the Lord knows what happened.”
Adds David Macher, a public defender assigned to David Turpin:
“What we would like the public to know is that our clients are presumed to be innocent, and that’s a very important presumption.”
When asked about the number of counts and the nature of the charges, Macher said:
“It’s going to be a challenge.”
Aside from suffering severe caloric malnutrition associated with muscle wasting, several of the kids have cognitive impairment and “neuropathy, which is nerve damage, as a result of this extreme and prolonged physical abuse,” Hestrin says.
What will happen now to the victims?
The Riverside County Department of Public Social Services is seeking court authorization to provide oversight and care for the 13 siblings “to the extent that’s necessary,” says Susan von Zabern, spokeswoman for the Riverside County Department of Public Social Services.
She added on Tuesday:
“At this point, we’ll be doing a full assessment with medical professionals to better understand needs of the adults as well as the children, and we’ll be prepared to provide supportive services as well as engage other agencies in assisting these individuals to be stable.”
