Ariana Grande Claps Back at Bullies: Pete Davidson Does NOT Have Butthole Eyes!

News that Ariana Grande is engaged to Pete Davidson was greeted with shock and confusion by many of the singer’s fans, and not only because Pete popped the question just a few weeks into the relationship.


Part of the surprise stems from the fact that Ariana and Pete are products of two very dissimilar cultures.



The worlds of comedy and pop music are quite different, to say the very least.


Whereas Ariana has spent her adult life surrounded by adoring fans and yes men (some of whom have been known to literally “carry her like a baby“), Pete hails from a world in which clever putdowns are considered the highest form of praise.


Previously, both Ari and Pete pretty much stayed in their lanes and dated people within their career fields.


Now that they’ve branched out, they’ll both need to make some adjustments — and it seems like the process hasn’t exact;y been painless thus far.



If your the type of young man who spends a lot of time plotting creative revenge porn plots against your ex-girlfriends or defending Tom Brady’s right to make out with his son


If you’re not familiar, the fact that Vanderpump Rules star and cartoonish embodiment pf dudebro douchiness Jax Taylor is weirdly obsessed with Barstool should tell you all you need to know.


Anyway, the “Sports” part of the name is pretty much a loose suggestion, and the bro-bloggers of Barstool comment on a wide range of topic.


While the site’s signature brand of trash-talk is mostly harmless — and occasionally pretty amusing — it’s attracted some pretty bitter enemies over the years — most recently, Ariana Grande and her entire fan base.



Barstool staffer Chaps recently published an article entitled “Does Pete Davidson Have Butthole Eyes?”


You can guess where his musings went from there.


Chaps certainly isn’t the first to observe that Davidson’s deep sockets lend him the bedraggled appearance of an extra on Breaking Bad.


But he might be the first to make such a vivid comparison.



Less than thrilled with the allegation that her fiancee is rocking a pair of anuses where his peepers should be, Ariana immediately shot back at Bartsool.


“Y’all do kno this man has an auto immune disease …… right ? ….. like you do understand what you’re doing when u do this right ? jus wanna make sure,” 


Grande is referring to the fact that Davidson suffers from Crohn’s disease.


But while her choice to stick up for Pete may be admirable (though it would be more admirable if he stuck up for himself, tbh), Ariana’s knowledge of her dude’s condition is a bit lacking.



Several medical experts have spoken out about her claim (this is 2018, folks!) and each has confirmed that there’s no reason Crohn’s should affect the appearance of Pete’s eye sockets.


So Ariana might want to read up on Davidson’s ailments.


And more importantly, she might want to learn how to take a joke.


Pete is an NYC-based comic.


It’s a world that requires a thick skin and next-level ability to laugh at one’s self.


Ari doesn’t necessarily need to be in on the joke, but she certainly needs to let her Pete fight his own battles, lest she do damage to the reputation he’s worked so hard to build.

Keke Palmer SLAMS Kylie Jenner: She Changed Herself to Make Bullies Happy!

Everybody loves to criticize the Kardashians — even other celebrities. Sometimes, especially other celebrities.


Keke Palmer knows what it’s like to face constant social pressures to change your appearance, but there’s clearly no love lost between her and how the Kardashians react to that same pressure. And she goes after Kylie Jenner, specifically.


While it’s clear that Keke Palmer has a lot of empathy for the bullying that Kylie received as a world-famous child, Keke also drags Kylie for the way that she’s responded.



So, Scream Queens star Keke Palmer, who turns 24 next month, gave an interview about social media pressure.


Celebrities, but especially black women who are celebrities, have to put up with a lot of online harassment.


(It turns out that sexism and racism don’t cancel each other out! Who knew?)


Basically, Keke — who is gorgeous — has been given every piece of unsolicited “advice” that you can imagine and some that you can’t, via Twitter and Instagram.


Some of it’s blatantly racist (or, in some cases, colorist — which can happen within ethnic communities), like “bleach your skin.”


Other times, it’s just the way that society treats people to view women.


(And the way that the quasi-anonymous nature of the internet makes people feel that they’re entitled to send people this sort of “feedback”)


People have told her to gain or lose weight, to wear more or to wear less, to do one thing with her hair or to do another.


She’s also been famous since she was a minor.


So when she talks about online bullying, she knows exactly what she’s talking about.



Keke Palmer says that she finds it “absolutely hard” to remain authentic, citing social media pressures that seek to drag people down.


“Everybody wants to make everybody so crazy, stupid, ugly, or dumb.”


That’s so true.


People like easy categories for people, and that’s even truer for celebrities.


They also want to drag people down in order to feel powerful and to feel better about themselves.


“So often [famous] people feel like, you know what, I’m just going to beat [haters] to the punch and either degrade myself or be so damn perfect they have nothing to say.”


That’s so sad but she’s absolutely right.


“We’ve seen extremes of that. In the sense of the Kardashians, it’s like I’m going to show you so much and be perfect and be everything a woman should be or everything a man would like or love.”


Some people are “perfect” just for themselves.


Others seem to be responding to external criticism.


We know that Kim Kardashian in particular pays careful attention to what the world is saying about her at any given moment.


It led to her making a tweet and then a full video to shut down rumors that she does cocaine.


Keke has found her own response, though.


“And I’m going to be exactly that so you can’t bully me anymore.”


That’s a great attitude.


Though, like, it’s probably easier to talk like that when you’re really, really gorgeous — as Keke is.



Kylie Jenner stands out among her family — and not only because she’s trying to use Life of Kylie to break away and build her own brand.


She’s the queen of Snapchat, she’s arguably the most influential teenager in the world, and she’s also the youngest.


“Specifically in the situation with Kylie, where you’ve had a young girl people have seen on television since she was a kid and they literally told her she was so ugly … the ugly person in the family.”


Keke’s spoken about Kylie like this before.


People can be so cruel to celebrity children. It’s absurd.


Remember, we live in a world where vile trolls have called Blue Ivy “ugly.”


(She isn’t, but even if she were, that would be unconscionable to say)


Keke does take issue with Kylie’s response, though.


“She went and did apparently everything the world deems as beautiful.”


That’s pretty true.


Sure, different people have different opinions.


(For some, they’d prefer Kendall Jenner’s figure to Kylie’s. Others might prefer Ashley Graham’s or someone else’s)


But if you look at Kylie’s lips and hips and ever-larger boobs, it seems that she adjusts to what she perceives that her fans want from her.


And Keke thinks that it’s bonkers.


“The even crazier part is that everybody loves her for it.”


That’s true — right now, Kylie’s arguably more famous for her appearance and social media presence than she is for her family.



We’re not trying leap to Kylie’s defense by any means.


Like, we’re all just brains piloting golems made of meat and bone, and some of those flesh prisons look a little nicer than others.


So scrambling to appease your fans by radically altering your body is kind of “letting the terrorists win” in Keke’s eyes, and we totally get that.


But … we’re probably only decades away from living in a world where basically everyone can adjust their appearances pretty radically.


It’s okay that Kylie doesn’t look exactly like her genetics would have made her look, you know?


The issue, and we think that it’s Keke’s issue, too, is that Kylie seems to have changed less for herself and more to respond to social pressures.


(Though we do have to admit that, when bullying becomes especially intense, what you want for you and what they want for you can get harder and harder to tell apart)


Overall, though, Keke Palmer makes a very fair point.


PS: You guys, Keke’s been on everything from True Jackson VP to Scream Queens, but my personal favorite thing that she’s ever done was a low-budget horror film with Liz Gillies and Jeremy Sumpter, titled Animal. It’s not “good” but it’s kind of great, if that makes sense.

Taylor Swift: Did Bullies Force Her into Hiding?!

These days, if you hear anyone talking about Taylor Swift, your first reaction may be “Taylor Swift who?”


Well, not really. You’d probably roll your eyes and try to change the subject, but you see where we’re going with this.



Taylor’s been staying out of the spotlight for months now. Besides releasing that 50 Shades Darker music video with Zayn Malik and performing at Super Bowl pre-show, she’s pretty much been in hiding.


It’s worth noting that at that pre-show, she told the audience that “I’m only doing one show in 2017, and as far as I know, this is that show.”


She’s barely been on social media except to promote those couple of projects, and she hasn’t been spotted by paparazzi in nearly two months.


It’s a weird move for the biggest pop star in the world.



And now, thanks to a new report from Hollywood Life, we may know why.


An insider explains that Taylor “enjoys being connected with her fans but she also struggles with the negativity and bullies that she deals with whenever she reads Instagram comments.”


Girl, you’re a pro now. You know better than to read the comments.


Still, she’s “loving her break from social media.”


“She will be back to posting more regularly soon,” the source says, “but for now she is really appreciating detoxing and being unplugged from some of the negative energy online.”



While this is a solid theory and we can definitely believe that Taylor is having fun just living her life away from the spotlight, we imagine bullies aren’t the only reason she’s been keeping quiet.


Let’s not forget, the girl had a pretty horrific year last year.


You know, for Taylor Swift.


She broke up with Calvin Harris and hooked up with Tom Hiddleston very soon after, sparking cheating rumors and beginning the most embarrassing courtship of all time.


Critics and fans alike gave her the side-eye for how she behaved with him, and they broke up after a few months together.



Around the same time, Kim Kardashian released a certain series of recordings of a conversation between Taylor and Kanye West.


The recordings proved that Taylor had lied about Kanye asking her permission to rap about her in his song “Famous,” and they also proved that Taylor was playing the victim in their renewed feud.


Then, when election season was underway, she never spoke out at all about the candidates, causing many people to accuse her of being a “fake feminist” who only uses the movement when it can make her look good.


To this day, she still hasn’t said a word against Donald Trump, which, to many, isn’t OK.


So it’s probably safe to say that she’s waiting for a lot of those memories to fade before she tries to drop her next mega hit album, you know?


That’s the way the Taylor Swift game is played, after all.

Father Sends Message to Bullies After Son"s Suicide

A heartbroken father has taken to Facebook in order to show his gratitude, his grief and his anger.


His name is Daniel Fitzpatrick and his son (also named Daniel) was found dead in the attic by one of his sisters last week.



The Staten Island resident was only 13 years old at the time of his suicide – and he left a note in July that detailed how badly he had been bullied over the years at Holy Angels Catholic Academy.


The young teenager said he was mercilessly mocked over his weight and appearance and good grade – and that officials at his school refused to intervene.


Finally, overwhelmed by the torment, Daniel hanged himself, his family said.


“I gave up,” the 13-year old wrote on two sides of a single sheet of paper. “The teachers . . . they didn’t do anything."


Now, the elder Daniel has recorded a video of himself and shared it on Facebook.


“I laughed and cried the day that he was born at the same time, as crazy as it sounds, it’s true,” a tearful Daniel says in the painful footage.


"And now I have to say goodbye to him out of this world. I won’t be laughing, I will be crying.”


In his social media message, the distraught father spoke through tears while addressing the parents of the bullies who harassed his child.


“I hope you never, never have to feel what my family is going through right now,” he said.


“You get to hold your children every night and day for the rest of your lives and their natural lives. I don’t get that anymore. Your little monsters took that from me and my wife and his sisters.”


Daniel then aimed his fury at the bullies themselves, saying:


“I hope the memory of what you’ve done to my son is burning in your brain for the rest of your life and you suffer as much as he has suffered under your bullshit.”



As for other bullies out there?


Other kids who make themselves feel bigger and better by tormenting their fellow students?


“You’re not cool. You’re disgusting," Daniel says below.


"If I ever see any goddamn child in my life from now on, and I witness them and I see any kid getting bullied, doesn’t matter boy, girl, straight, bi, whatever. Transgender now. To the bully, I will knock you the fuck out.


"And how do you think it will make you feel?”


Watch the full video below and please call 1-800-273-8255 for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline if you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide.

50 Cent Bullies Disabled Teen in Shocking Video

50 Cent isn"t always the brightest bulb, and frankly, he can be an incredible D-bag at times.


Now that he"s only semi-employed (He"s got a show on Starz or something.) Fiddy has lots of time to make an ass out of himself, and he"s been taking full advantage.


He"s taken to social media to claim that Diddy had Tupac killed, shared embarrassing details about his own bankruptcy proceedings, and he even got sued within an inch of his life for cyber-bullying the ex-wife of rap rival Rick Ross.


But last night, 50 may have hit a new low.


In a video that"s since been removed from his Instagram page, the rapper harasses a young janitor at a Cincinnati airport.


"What kind of shit you think he took before he got to work today?" says as he follows the young man while taking video on his phone.


"Look at him. He high as sh-t right here in the airport."



50"s actions would"ve been unconscionably dickish under any circumstances, but they"re particularly egregious in this situation, as it turns out the employee, identified as 19-year-old Andrew Farrell, suffers from a disability as well as crippling social anxiety.


In the clip below, Andrew"s parents call 50 out and demand an apology:


“To put this out there saying my son is on drugs or whatever, that is part of his social anxiety,” says Andrew"s father, Kent Farrell.


“He’s not wanting to talk, he’s not wanting to communicate, he’s walking on and he’s doing his job.”


This, of course, is not 50"s first time publicly mocking the disabled.


Back in 2012, 50 apologized for posting insensitive tweets about autism.


In 2014, he made fun of illiterate adults on Instagram.


It"s unclear if 50 will issue an apology this time, but at least those who have been bullied by the rapper can take comfort in the fact that there"s no greater joke than his career.
