Janet Jackson Calls Cops Due to Child Welfare Concern
According to multiple news outlets, Janet Jackson called the police on Saturday night because was concerned about the emotional and/or physical well-being of her one-year-old son, Eissa Al Mana.
He was with his father and the singer’s ex-husband at the time, Wissam Al Mana.
Per Entertainment Tonight, authorities in Malibu County responded to a call shortly before 10 p.m. at the Nobu Hotel, where they were asked to check on the welfare of Jackson’s only child.
Speaking to ET’s Kevin Frazier, Janet’s brother Randy explained that his sibling dialed 911 after being contacted by a nanny who was working for Al Mana.
This nanny said she was scared by the way Al Mana was acting.
Randy told the aforementioned website that the nanny was “terrified by his behavior and locked herself in a bathroom, so she could contact Janet.”
Yikes, huh?
Further details remain mostly unknown at this time, however.
Police did not find anyone on danger at the scene and reportedly told Janet and Wissam to handle the matter civility.
No charges of any kind will be filed.
Jackson and Al Mana welcomed their son on January 2, 2017… only to split up three months later.
What could have possibly happened? How did they get married and then choose to go their separate ways almost as soon as their family was established?
“One of the many divorcing factors was their religious beliefs,” a source told E! News early last year, adding:
“Wissam and Janet did not feel that they were on the same page when it came to this and the way they wanted their child to get raised.”
Interesting, right?
It appears as if Janet and her estranged spouse had conflict from the beginning over their son and how he ought to be raised/treated/taught.
Janet is more of a free spirit than Wissam. Cultural difference and backgrounds played a major role,” this same source said.
Jackson, meanwhile, has remained mostly off the radar and silent since becoming a first-time mother.
But she was recognized for her legendary career at the Billboard Music Awards in May, performing a medley of smash hits on stage and giving and impressive speech.
“I’m deeply humbled and grateful for this award,” she said, alluding to the #MeToo movement and the ongoing power of this feminist movement in society:
“I believe that for all the challenges… we live a great moment in history. It’s a moment that at long last women have made it clear that we will not be controlled, manipulated or abused.
“I stand with those women and those men.”
So very well said.
Watch how Janet simply owned this event below:

Donald Trump Calls for Samantha Bee to Be Fired
Donald Trump has a problem with Samantha Bee.
A BIGLY problem with Samantha Bee, we should say.
The day after this Comedy Central host issued an apology for her use of VERY harsh language in describling Ivanka Trump, the President jumped on Twitter and basically rejected the mea culpa.
First, a refresher for those who missed the original story to which we’re referring:
On Wednesday evening, Bee used a portion of her latest Full Frontal episode to attack Ivanka for sitting idly by while immigrant parents were separated from their children.
With this controversy growing more and more heated by the week, Bee stood in front of her studio audience and said the following:
“Let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad’s immigration practices, you feckless cunt!
“Put on something tight and low-cut and tell your father to fucking stop it. Tell him it was an Obama thing and see how it goes.”
The implication that Trump is attracted to his would have been enough for this remark to generate backlash against Bee… but she also dropped the C-Word in regard to Ivanka.
See for yourself here:
It didn’t take long for Bee to issue an apology shortly after the above video went viral, as she didn’t try to make any excuses or even make any joke.
She simply said:
I would like to sincerely apologize to Ivanka Trump and to my viewers for using an expletive on my show to describe her last night. It was inappropriate and inexcusable.
I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it.
To many critics, however, this was not enough.
Considering ABC just canceled Roseanne in the wake of that star’s inappropriate Tweet, some social media users and pundits think Bee herself also ought to lose her job.
Of course, Roseanne has a history of being racist.
And that’s what she was being here: racist.
She compared a former President Obama advisor to an “ape,” something she has done with other African-Americans in the past.
Bee, conversely, simply used a dirty word.
There’s a difference between profanity and racism, a rather huge and systemic difference — but this rather clear nuance has been lost on Bee (and Liberal) haters.
Among those Bee (and Liberal) haters is the President of the United States.
This is what Donald Trump Tweeted this morning in response to Bee’s crude diss of his daughter:
Why aren’t they firing no talent Samantha Bee for the horrible language used on her low ratings show?
A total double standard but that’s O.K., we are Winning, and will be doing so for a long time to come!
It may be worth pointing out that the White House calling for a private citizen to be fired over an opinion is the definition of First Amendment violation.
The cancelation of a TV show does not qualify as such because it is simply a corporation making its own business decision, which happens all the time.
You can’t just say whatever you want at all times and not suffer professional consequences.
Might some befall Bee still? Absolutely, as a handful of sponsors have pulled their ads off her show already.
But that’s their business. That’s literally their business.
As a father, Donald Trump can go ahead and be offended.
As the President, however, he’s way beyond the scope of what is proper to actually call for someone to be fired.
What do YOU think, though?
Should Bee lose her job due to this Ivanka quip? Was her apology sufficient?
Or is one bad word really not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of what Bee was talking about and all that is going on right now in the country?
Kanye West Drops Album, Actually Calls Out Tristan Thompson
So… THIS is why Kanye West has been ranting and raving for the past several weeks?
On the evening of May 31, 2018, the rapper debuted his first full-length project since 2016’s The Life of Pablo, holding a listening party for fans in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Along with some journalists and music industry heavyweights stars such as Chris Rock, Jonah Hill, Big Sean and Pusha T were in attendance.
We learned West"s new, seven-track album is titled "YE" and we learned he has a lot to say about his marriage and about Tristan Thompson cheating on his sister-in-law.
Scroll down for a look inside this listening party… and for a rundown of Kanye"s most pointed new lyrics:
1. It’s All Led to This Moment
Kanye has spent his return to the spotlight singing the praises of Donald Trump and saying black people CHOSE to be slaves. Was it all in promotion of this record? And will the destination make that controversial journey worthwhile for the artist?
2. Here We Go, Folks
Chris Rock joked about Kanye’s run of ridiculous remarks, introducing the new album by telling those in attendance: “Hip-hop is the first art form created by free black men. And no black man has taken more advantage of his freedom than Kanye West.”
3. What Does Kanye Have to Say?
These new songs feature appearances by Kid Cudi, Ty Dolla $ ign and Nicki Minaj. They touch on everything from the superstar’s mental health and drug addiction … to Tristan’s cheating scandal.
4. Until Death Does Them Part?
Yup. Kanye rapped about his slavery comments and Kim’s reaction: “Wife calling screaming saying we’re about to lose it all I had to calm her down cuz she couldn’t breathe/I told her she could leave me now but she wouldn’t leave. This is what they mean for better or for worse huh?”
5. So There Was Something to Those Divorce Rumors?
Maybe the D-Word was never dropped, but sounds like this report about the couple’s marriage wasn’t TOTALLY off base.
6. The Lyrics EVERYone is Talking About
But this is the verse that has the Internet all abuzz: “All these thots on Christian Mingle/That’s what almost got Tristan single.”
