Pete Davidson Makes Worst Joke of the Year on SNL

Heading into Saturday Night Live this weekend, a nation waited with anticipation over what Pete Davidson would say about his break-up with Ariana Grande.

The comedian and the singer dated for a whole few weeks earlier this summer prior to getting engaged, public displaying tons of affection — and then splitting about four months later.

Grande was so prepared for some jab at her expense on air that she actually released a track just before SNL aired that beat Davidson to the punch, referencing him and other exes as well.

So… what did Davidson say about the pop singer during his stint on Weekend Update?

"I know some of you are curious about the break-up, but the truth it"s nobody"s business, and sometimes things just don"t work out, and that"s OK," he told viewers, concluding of Grande:

"She"s a wonderful, strong person, and I genuinely wish her all the happiness in the world. Now please, go vote on Tuesday."

That was it, meaning Davidson avoided controversy and actually came across looking very well, right?

Oh, no. Oh, so VERY wrong.

Earlier in the segment, Davidson sat behind the Weekend Update desk and mocked the appearance of a congressional candidate whose eye was destroyed while he served in Afghanistan.

"This guy is kinda cool, Dan Crenshaw," Davidson said alongside a photo Crenshaw, a Republican.

He continued:

"You may be surprised to hear he"s a congressional candidate from Texas, and not a hit man in a porno movie."

"I"m sorry, I know he lost his eye in war, or whatever," he added. "Whatever."

Not exactly whatever, Pete, the entire Internet basically said at once.

You thought it was worth making a pirate joke at a veteran"s expense simply because he wears an eye patch?

That"s both offensive and just plain lazy.

"Good rule in life: I try hard not to offend; I try harder not to be offended," Crenshaw himself Tweeted in response.

"That being said,  I hope @nbcsnl recognizes that vets don’t deserve to see their wounds used as punchlines for bad jokes."

There was also this response from National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Jack Pandol:

"Getting dumped by your pop star girlfriend is no excuse for lashing out at a decorated war hero who lost his eye serving our country.

"Pete Davidson and NBC should immediately apologize to Dan, and to the millions of veterans and military families who tune in every weekend — because they"re not laughing."

As of this writing, neither Davidson nor NBC has issued said apology.

Southwest Flight Makes Emergency Landing Due to Non-Consensual Footsie

One of the many stresses of flying is that you don’t know if you’ll be seated beside a normal person, a talker, or maybe some creep masturbating on a Southwest flight.

We hate to refer to this airline incident as non-consensual footsie, but we’re at a loss as to what else to call this creepy assault.

After a man started rubbing his feet upon his neighbor’s and refused to stop, things escalated — and the plane was forced to make an emergency landing.

Justin Brafford is a 29-year-old man from Texas.

He is now facing charges for simple assault and for intimidating a flight crew on his Southwest flight from Los Angeles to Dallas.

This began with, as we mentioned, non-consensual footsie as he allegedly rubbed his feet against those of the woman beside him.

Unfortunately, this peak horror scenario was only the beginning of the nightmare that forced a Southwest flight to make an emergency landing.

Not satisfied by merely using his feet to make her life a living hell, he also began verbal harassment.

It sounds like she tried to weather this assault — and let’s be clear, rubbing your foot against someone without their permission is assault.

But when he allegedly warned her “don’t f–k with me,” she was able to persuade a flight attendant to allow her to change seats.

That should have been the end of her story of the worst flight of her life, right?

Well, Brafford then got up and confronted her at her new seat, apparently offended that he didn’t appreciate his unwanted attention.

Flight attendants tried to intervene and persuade him to return to his seat.

They were unsuccessful.

Brafford is said to have then launched into an expletive-laden rant aimed primarily at the woman who had fled from his assault.

Apparently whatever he was saying was not only foul, but alarming.

(And, to be fair, his erratic behavior — far beyond what you’d expect from a run-of-the-mill creep who thought he could exploit social norms to cop a feel — was also alarming)

The flight crew alerted the pilot, and the plane was forced to divert and make an emergency landing in Albuquerque.

Brafford was then escorted from the plane.

That whole incident sounds deeply harrowing and seems beyond explanation.

But police say that they know why it happened.

Authorities say that Brafford was high on methamphetamines.

We don’t mean that he was a little wired — reports say that he believed that he was hearing “calls” from God while on the illicit substances.

He had taken the methamphetamines the day before the flight, and he had apparently overdosed on heroin over the weekend.

If you’d planned on pairing that combo of drug experiences before boarding a flight, we’d advise against it.

Brafford is, of course, super in jail.

Our legal system may not make it easy for women to get justice when they are assaulted, but misbehavior on airplanes in a post-9/11 world does not go over well.

He could face as much as 20 years behind bars for his prolonged outburst.

He could also face a fine of as much as $ 250,000.

Messing with a flight crew is, after all, a federal offense.

We’re not normally in the business of feeling sorry for major, oligopolistic corporations. Or of airlines, for that matter.

But we kind of feel for Southwest here. It sounds to us like they responded in the best way possible, but their name is still all over this story.

Officials at Southwest have affirmed for the bajillionth time that their first priority is the safety and comfort of their passengers.

The flight was then able to continue to Dallas without incident.

Gia Giudice Makes Desperate Plea to Inmate Father

We often mock Teresa Giudice and members of her family.

It’s typically for good reason, too.

Teresa is just so self-centered and spoiled and she lacks any semblance of self-awareness and she broke the law awhile back by lying about her finances and has never really shown a hint of remorse.

This is all true.

But it can all be true and we can still feel very badly for her kids.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Joe Giudice really will face deportation after he completes his current prison sentence.

This had been rumored ever since Joe entered jail on tax evasion charges, but a judge dropped the deportation hammer once and for all in immigration court on Wednesday morning.

“Based upon the law, I find you deportable and ineligible for any kind of relief,” the judge said at the hearing, according to various sources, adding:

“Mr. Giudice, no matter how this turns out, I wish you the best. I decided this case as a matter of law.”

This is obviously quite a blow to Teresa and her four kids.

Joe is due for release next year, at which time, unless something significant changes, he will be sent back to his native country of Italy.

While various members of The Real Housewives community have reacted in sadness to this development, 17-year old daughter Gia Giudice is now here to speak out for the first time since the decision was handed down.

The oldest child of Joe and Teresa, Gia has shared a video created by a man named Fred Rubino.

In this footage, he called for an appeal of Joe’s impending deportation, alleging that the ruling on Giudice’s case was “racist” and “political” because Joe is Italian. 

That seems like quite the unverified leap, but Gia appears to concur.

“Spread the word, could’ve said it better myself.” Gia wrote in the caption. “I love you daddy, let’s fight this! @fredrubino.”

The despondent and angry teenager also shared a throwback photo on her Instagram Story of herself as a little girl holding onto Joe’s shoulders, and wrote on the image:

“New post!!!! Spread the word, let’s fight.”

It’s quite the image, that much is certain:

For whatever it’s worth, Teresa was not in the courtroom Wednesday when the judge made his ruling.

Joe now has 30 days to file an appeal; which we’d have to imagine he will do.

For those wondering…

Yes, Giudice has lived in America since he was a child.

However, he never obtained American citizenship, and immigrants can be deported from the United States if they are convicted of “a crime of moral turpitude” or an “aggravated felony,” according to U.S. law.

Does that seem unfair? Not to Donald Trump, probably.

View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: Filing For Divorce Once Joe Gets Deported?!

Although Teresa has thus far remained silent on the ruling, a source told People Magazine that she “never imaged Joe would really get deported.”

Adds this insider:

“This is going to break her. She always knew that this was a possibility, but she put it out of her head. That’s the only way she could go on living day to day.”

In this one instance, we actually do feel badly for her.

Molly Roloff Actually Visits Family Farm, Makes Amy One Happy Mama

Molly Roloff may not be a cast member on Little People, Big World.

But that doesn’t mean she isn’t a very welcome member of her own family.

Unlike her brother, Jacob, who quit the aforementioned TLC series last summer in a major huff, Molly has never made any grand statements about the show being fake or phony or silly in any way.

Nope.

She’s simply chosen to live a more private life, one that has taken her away from her family farm and one that includes a very normal and content existence with husband Joel.

Like we said before, however, Molly is on great terms with her parents despite having removed herself from their everyday lives and their most profitable source of income.

And that relationship was on full display this past weekend.

In honor of the beginning of pumpkin season at Roloff Farms, Molly and Joel drove on down and supported their loved ones.

They posed for a photo with the entire family, and they also posed for a photo with just Amy, as you can see above.

“I was so so excited that Molly and Joel were able to drive down for opening weekend of pumpkin season at Roloff Farms Pumpkin Patch,” Amy wrote as a caption to the two images above.

She added:

“It was wonderful to see them. This mom was happy.”

And below is the snapshot that has been making the Internet rounds, with nearly every single Roloff in the same place for a fun change:

As far as Molly goes, she recently hung with her dad as well and does try to come back to the farm when she can.

But she headed off college at Whitworth University and then met her now-husband shortly thereafter, Joel Silvius.

Together, the couple chose to stay in the area and they’re now permanently based in Spokane, Washington, which is about a six-hour drive from where Matt and Amy reside.

(Yes, Matt and Amy are divorced, but they still live on the same large piece of property. It’s a whole thing.)

It’s not a short haul for Joel and Molly to visit the farm, but pumpkin season is THE huge event for this family.

At least professionally speaking.

“The first weekend of pumpkin season has officially come and the whole family came out!” the Roloffs shared on the farm’s official Instagram page.

“Thank you to everyone who has come out despite the rainy Oregon weather!”
