Donald Trump Attacks Mika Brzezinski: Celebrities React

Donald Trump is still taking to Twitter to cyber bully, and yes, it"s pretty ironic considering Melania Trump has been vocal about her plea to end cyber bullying. 

Trump"s latest target is Mika Brzezinski, and he seems to think she and her MSNBC colleagues unfairly criticize him at every turn. 

So, Trump felt the need to send two tweets at Mika that were not exactly friendly. Are they ever with Donald Trump?

"I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don"t watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year"s Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!"

As expected, the celebrity world was not impressed with Trump"s comments and reacted in anger. We"ve rounded up some of the best reactions for you below. 

1. John Legend

“I see Melania’s campaign to end cyber bullying is off to a slow start,” Legend began, adding: “America elected a very shitty person to be President.”

2. Chrissy Teigen

Teigen laid into Trump with a scathing tweet. “You are a national embarrassment. It’s like you have no idea how to even fake being a normal human being. You are the proud type of insane.”

3. Jesse Tyler Ferguson

“My faith in this country forces me to believe that even most of @realDonaldTrump’s supporters think his tweets this morning are in bad taste. He is distracted from doing his job as president but the citizens he works for must remain focus & activated. We have to be bigger than that.”

4. Star Jones

Always one to take an opportunity to trash Trump, Star tweeted,”I’ve heard of “SunDowning” effects of Alzheimer’s on folk but I swear ya’lls president is affected any time of the day or night. #pettyfool”

5. Rosie O’Donnell

Rosie O’Donnell has had beef with Trump for a long time, so it was a given that she would chime in. She said, “babyman @realDonaldTrump its not just joe and mika – the world hates u – and jail awaits u – and u suck at being human.”

6. Willie Geist

“Good time to remind you that @MorningMika is smart as hell, stronger than any critic, & a role model for what we hope our daughters can be.”

This Random Dude Has Slept with All These Celebrities

It"s time to meet Rob.

Average Rob, actually, which is what this random guy goes by on Instagram.

On this social media platform, Average Rob describes himself as just a “mediocre dude from Belgium,” but he’s clearly being modest.

Why? Because Rob has slept with nearly every A-List celebrity in Hollywood, from famous singers to models to actresses and more.

How has he pulled this off? Photoshop, some might say.

But we"ll let Rob"s Instagram pictures speak for themselves…

1. Taylor Swift

Rob was able to sleep with Swift on a park bench. We didn’t know she liked it in public!

2. Barack Obama

GASP! It’s a good thing this relationship wasn’t exposed while Obama was in office!

3. David Beckham

Rob is open to either men or women. And it helps when the men look like Beckham.

4. Eminem

AWWW! The rapper cuddled afterward. Sort of.

5. Mila Kunis

Silly Mila. It seems just like her to have a bit of fun post-coitus, don’t you agree?

6. Margot Robbie

He apparently did it (many) doggie style with this gorgeous actress. Nice!

Charlie Sheen to HIV Positive Celebrities: I Know Who You Are!

Charlie Sheen has gone from threatening the life of Donald Trump to threatening to expose other celebrities who have been diagnosed with HIV.

Sort of.

But the actor spoke on Wednesday morning with The Kyle and Jackie O Show and was asked the following question:

“Do you think there are more people in Hollywood that have HIV that wouldn’t dare come out and say it like you did?”

To which Sheen replied:

“There are, and I know who they are, but I will take that to my grave.”

So, no, Sheen did not actually threaten to out these stars.

But it did make a statement that has stirred quite a bit of chatter around the Internet; how can one not wonder just to whom Sheen is referring?!?

In November of 2015, following several weeks of rumors and innuendo, Sheen appeared on The Today Show and announced that he was HIV positive.

He said he was forced to come clean after those aware of his condition said they would go public unless he paid them a lot of money for their silence.

“I have to put a stop to this onslaught, this barrage of attacks and of sub-truths and very harmful and mercurial stories that are about me, threatening the health of so many others, which couldn’t be further from the truth,” he told Matt Lauer at the time.

Sheen explained that he thought he had a brain tumor upon first seeing a doctor for various symptoms.

But was then hit with the news that he has the disease that is a precursor for AIDS.

“After a battery of tests and spinal taps, all that crap, they walked in the room and said, ‘Boom. Here’s what’s going on,"” Sheen explained on air.

“It’s a hard three letters to absorb. It’s a turning point in one’s life.”

Has Sheen really turned around his life? Maybe, to some extent.

He seems to party far less than he used to and he’s apparently turned over the concept of “winning” to Donald Trump.

But that doesn’t mean he’s moved on from slamming his enemies and/or saying whatever is on his mind.

In this latest interview, for example, the topic turned at one point to Jenny McCarthy.

A former guest star on Two and a Half Men, who portrayed Sheen’s love interest for a number of episodes, McCarthy made some pretty dumb comments soon after Sheen told the world about his HIV status.

McCarthy wondered on her Sirius radio show why she was required to be open with certain health issues, yet Sheen did not have to reveal at the time of their filming that he was HIV positive.

“If I have to be upfront about a herpe, how could you not be upfront about HIV?” she asked, concluding:

“Playing his love interest on the show … ugh … that’s not fair and scary.”

Considering McCarthy didn’t actually have sexual intercourse with Sheen on the sitcom, we’re not sure why acting opposite him (or even kissing him) should have been scary.

Sheen wonders the same thing.

Moreover, Sheen told the hosts this morning that he simply didn’t have the disease back then.

But he said it a bit differently.

“Bitch, your math sucks,” Sheen said to/about McCarthy. “I didn’t have it then!’”

But you have it now, Charlie. Our attention, that is.

Welcome back.
