Caitlyn Jenner Said WHAT About the Virginia Shooting?!?
Caitlyn Jenner is one of the more outspoken Republicans in Hollywood.
But most Internet users agree that her political views don’t give the reality star license to say something as inappropriate as she said on Friday night.
Jenner was taking part in a discussion at the College Republican National Committee’s convention when she was asked for her thoughts on the violent attack on a GOP baseball practice earlier in the week.
On the morning of June 14, a gunman opened fire on various Republicans and their staff members, seriously wounding Congressman Steve Scalise and injuring three others.
The shoot was killed by Capitol Police and later identified as James T. Hodgkinson, an extreme member of the Democratic Party who had volunteered for the Bernie Sanders Presidential campaign last year.
“Nobody deserves what happened out there. There’s no justification,” Jenner said to open his remarks, which were shared on Facebook yesterday.
Added the former Olympic Gold Medalist, perhaps hinting that he’d favor stricter gun control laws:
“There are crazy people. We have to minimize that type of stuff… As far as the people that were injured, it’s an absolute shame. You just want them to recover.”
What feud? Caitlyn Jenner spent Father’s Day with daughters Kendall and Kylie in Los Angeles.
If Jenner had stopped there, she’d have been fine.
Everyone on both sides of the political aisle would have nodded in agreement.
But then Caitlyn tried to make a joke.
“Fortunately the guy was a really bad shot,” she quipped. “Liberals can’t even shoot straight.”
And this is where Caitlyn planted her high-heeled foot directly into her mouth.
Yes, Hodgkinson was a Liberal.
But his horrible actions didn’t speak for all Liberals. Or most Liberals. Or even the smallest minority of Liberals.
The attack against these politicians has been denounced by every prominent Democrat who has issued a statement on it.
Making it sound as if all Liberals “can’t shoot” implies that all Liberals want to shoot, which is simply stoking the already-scorching flames of partisan divide.
This was one deranged individual committing a heinous attack; it signified nothing about either political party,
Over the course of the dinner on Friday, Jenner spoke on a variety of topics, from Kanye West to the Paris climate agreement.
The former track and field legend said the latter, which President Donald Trump is pulling American out of, is “just a way for the rest of the world to kind of ruin us economically.”
There’s no proof whatsoever to back up that statement, but Jenner’s loved ones would say she has a problem with the truth in general these days.
Over the final few episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 13, Kim and her family members slammed Caitlyn for lying.
They took serious issues with things she wrote in her memoir about her marriage and her time on the show and it’s unlikely we’ll see her on E! ever again.

Abby Lee Miller Reacts to Prison Sentencing; She Said WHAT?!?
Abby Lee Miller may be going to prison.
But she isn’t going quietly.
The former Dance Moms host was sentenced to a year in prison on Tuesday, just under a year since she pleaded guilty to hiding $ 755,000 from the government as part of a bankruptcy scheme.
According to various sources, Miller took the stand at her sentencing hearing and broke down in tears while trying to convince a judge to take it easy on her.
She blamed her sudden rise to fame for her poor decision-making and said she had already learned some hard lessons, but the judge wasn’t overly sympathetic.
“You weren’t truthful, even when you knew you were supposed to tell everything, you still weren’t truthful,” she told Miller, adding:
“Somehow you got caught up in the world of fame and you lost your moral compass.”
As a result, Miller will be forced to pay a fine of $ 40,000; spend the aforementioned year behind bars; and then remain on supervised release for two years afterward.
It could have been worse, however:
She could have been sentenced to FIVE years in jail and been forced to pay $ 5 million in fines.
Shortly after her fate was revealed in court, Miller spoke to Entertainment Tonight and other news outlets in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
“I feel relieved,” she told reporters outside the courthouse. “I feel peaceful.”
Relieved?!? At peace?!? How so, considering what lies ahead of her?
Partly because Miller once again said she’s “pitching a new show” already, likely one that will chronicle her post-Dance Moms journey and her time in the clink.
“I have been so very successful – maybe that’ll be some time to work,” Miller confusingly said, adding of this proposed series: “There’s dancing in it!”
We wonder: Will there also be toilet scrubbing in it? Or cafeteria duty? Or prison yard clean-up?
Miller sounds aware that she’ll learn about all these things as an inmate, but she’s trying to remain positive.
“There’s a few physical limitations, dietary limitations [in prison], of course, but it’ll be OK,” she said.
“It’s a realm of the world I know nothing about. I just know what I know and I do the best I can…
“I know that I didn’t make the right decisions all the time. I think [the punishment’s] just begun.”
It has, but we’ve also been here before.
Teresa Giudice went to jail for several months for a similar financial crime. She was then freed… and immediately signed a huge new contract with Bravo to be featured on The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Sadly, Miller will likely profit off this sentencing in the end.
Speaking to the media yesterday, Miller said her life advice for others would be to simply “live and learn,” while she said the following in court:
I am very sorry for what I’ve done and the inconvenience I’ve caused others.
My friends and colleagues have shed tears because of my careless mistakes. I have accepted responsibility for my actions and pled guilty to the two charges against me.
My name has been dragged through the mud and Abby Dance Company no longer exists in the very building that I was trying to save and I know that my future is uncertain.
I can only assure you that I will never be in front of a court again.
Miller, of course, resigned her post as Dance Moms host several weeks ago.
Lifetime then announced that Cheryl Burke will take over in this role for the remainder of Season 8.
In the wake of Miller’s sentencing, a few Dance Moms stars took to social media and wished her well.
Elliana Walmsley: “I love you Miss Abby. I wouldn’t be where I am without you. You have taught me so much about dance and life. Look how I can bevel now and ‘break’ my feet.
“You mean SO much to me and I will always be there for you.”
Maesi Caes: Sending so many powerful, positive vibes, HUUUUUUUGGGGGEEE hugs, LOTS of love and prayers of strength across the miles to @therealabbylee for my #maesismotivationalmonda.
“Sometimes the strength within you is not a big, fiery flame for all to see. It’s just a tiny spark that whispers ‘YOU GOT THIS."”
Kamryn Beck: “Don’t believe everything you see on t.v. You’ll be in my prayers @therealabbylee. love you.”

Ben Carson Said WHAT About Slaves?!?!?!?!?!?!?
In his first official speech as Housing and Urban Development Secretary, Ben Carson made a few controversial remarks while addressing HUD employees in Washington, D.C. on Monday.
What sort of controversial remarks?
The sort that make you wonder how Carson has lasted this long as a human being…
… let alone how he was confirmed as a member of a Presidential administration.
"That"s what America is about, a land of dreams and opportunity," Carson said as part of his rambling speech, adding:
"There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less.
"But they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons, great-granddaughters, might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land."
You may want to read that second sentence again. And maybe again after that.
Because Ben Carson really did refer to slaves – the same slaves who were violently snatched from their homes, chained up, tossed into a ship and then forced to do a white person"s bidding – as "immigrants" who wanted to come to America and who simply worked hard for a low wage.
Shortly after the video below went viral, celebrities jumped on Twitter in shock and the opposite of awe.
“Ben Carson..please read or watch Roots, most immigrants come here VOLUNTARILY, cant"t really say the same about the slaves..they were stolen,” Whoopi Goldberg wrote in response, while Samuel L. Jackson added:
“OK!! Ben Carson….I can"t! Immigrants ? In the bottom of SLAVE SHIPS??!! MUTHAFUKKA PLEASE!!! #dickheadedtom."
We know it"s difficult to believe that anyone would utter these words.
But it really happened!

Raven Gates" Ex-Boyfriend: I Gave Her Orgasms AND She Said She Loved Me! The Bachelor LIES!
Raven Gates’ ex-boyfriend Hunter Hayes has a bone to pick with the popular show, and it has nothing to do with The Bachelor spoilers.
Well, unless you’re talking about his spoiled reputation as a man.
Thanks to Raven’s claim that she’s never told a man she loves him, or had an orgasm (at all), Henry has become a subject of fascination.
And hilariously, he’s calling out the show in an interview with Us.
During Gates and Nick Viall’s fantasy-suite date on Monday’s episode, she told the Bachelor that she’s never said “I love you” to a man.
Nor has she experienced, even once, what an orgasm feels like.
Yes, this happened on national TV, making fans immediately wonder what the Hoxie, Arkansas, native’s ex-boyfriend Henry was doing.
Or not doing, to be more accurate. They dated for two years!
He was also discussed on an earlier episode in which Gates alleged that while they were dating, she caught him banging another woman.
At that point, Raven said, she attacked her beau with a high-heeled shoe, an image that brings a smile to our face (cheating aside).
Hunter’s definitely not among those laughing about it, however.
“Comments made by Raven about our relationship are skewed and untrue,” Henry tells the website. “However, I wish her all the best.”
“Definitely not true about the whole orgasm thing,” he adds.
“And she has told me she loved me multiple times,” says Hunter, who’s in the running for Worst BF of the 2010s honors, “just for the record.”
Anyone buying what Henry is selling here? Would The Bachelor actually invent wholesome, sweet “Raven Gates’ “secret” as a mere storyline?
Actually, they very well might …
We put nothing past Mike Fleiss and company, though at the same time it feels hard to believe Raven could go out and lie like that.
In any case, Bachelor Nation fans have been fascinated by Gates’ claim that she has never climaxed from any sort of sexual activity.
After the episode aired, an altruistic GoFundMe account popped up to raise money to buy the 25-year-old boutique owner a vibrator.
Raven is one of Viall’s final three ladies, along with Vanessa Grimaldi and Rachel Lindsay, after he eliminated Corinne Olympios Monday.
(We imagine Corinne and her platinum vagine have had about 14 orgasms, manually and/or with the aid of someone else, since then.)
It was during Gates’ overnight date with Nick that the topic of the Big O came up, and Viall was at a loss for words like the rest of us.
Gates had just come out of a bad breakup with Hunter Henry (never trust a dude with two first names) when she applied for the show.
She says she’s slept with only him (and apparently, he didn’t do a very good job of it), before meeting and building up their great chemistry.
Whether that’s enough to get her the final rose over Vanessa (we know Rachel is out) remains to be seen, along with any orgasmic action.
Monday’s episode left off with a mini-cliffhanger.
Raven ultimately accepted Nick’s invitation to the Fantasy Suite, where she met up with Viall and his uncomfortable looking turtleneck.
Did he ditch said sweater and become THE ONE to take Raven to the Oh-Zone for the first time in her life on that hot night in Finland?
Bachelor Nation can only hope.

Farrah Abraham: See What She Said to Set Amber Portwood Off!
As you have surely heard approximately a billion times by now, Farrah Abraham started a brawl at the Teen Mom OG reunion special.
But no matter how many times you hear it, it"s still so fun, isn"t it?
Farrah said something about Amber Portwood"s boyfriend, Matt Baier, Amber got seriously pissed about it, then stormed the stage and tried to throw a punch at Farrah.
It was messy, it was ugly, and it started a very intense feud between Farrah and Amber.
Just a couple of days ago, for instance, Farrah had the maturity and the wit to compare Amber to Miss Piggy.
Amber took it in stride, telling Farrah that she liked the comparison, but then she insinuated that Farrah took Adderall to stay skinny, so it looks like the feud"s not ending anytime soon.
But what did Farrah even say that was so bad? What could she have possibly said about Matt that would make Amber mad enough to want to fight her?
If you"ll remember, Amber used to struggle a lot with her anger issues. She"s come a long way, and she isn"t nearly as prone to violence as she used to be, so Farrah must have said something really terrible to set her off like that.
And in this sneak peek for Monday"s reunion show, we finally get to see exactly what it was she said.
Check out the madness in the clip below:

Bruno Mars Said WHAT About Adele?!?
Bruno Mars and his Napoleon complex just took shade to a whole new level.
Mars, believe it or not, had the audacity to go after Adele and her perfection, and for someone who’s physically smaller than most Hobbits, you’d think he’d choose his words better.
In an interview on the Cubby & Caroline Bermudez in the Morning show, when asked about Adele, Mars said … well, some not-so-flattering things.
“She walks into the studio and she’s got all this attitude,” he said.
“She’s a diva.”
“She’s like ‘I don’t want to do this. I don’t like that,’ ” mini-Mars continued.
“Then, as soon as we hit a couple chords that she liked, we started rolling.”
Later, though, he changed his tune – both literally and figuratively.
He said, “She’s incredible.”
“There was a moment when she was singing in the booth – I’m not exaggerating at all – and the water was vibrating.”
“Like, you know, that scene in Jurassic Park?” he gestured.
“She’s got some pipes on her, and she’s just a superstar.”
Hopefully that wasn’t a fat joke, Mars, because we can make more stature jokes, if you’re up for them.
And hey.
At least Adele was never busted for cocaine, like Mars was.
This woman has more talent in her left piggy toe than Mars has in his entire body – Uptown Funk notwithstanding.
Moreover, she doesn’t get caught in the back-and-forth drama that Mars apparently engages in, and even most recently, admitted that she “does not give a s–t” about Brangelina’s breakup.
During a recent concert stop, she said, “I mean, I don’t like gossiping and private lives should be private, but it is an end of an era, so I’m dedicating the show to [Brangelina] tonight because honestly, I’m really, really sad.”
“I don’t know them at all, but I was shocked when I woke up this morning.”
Many people took what she said as creed, however, and she clarified the next day.
“I think it’s a bit sick you’re reporting on an absolute joke,” she defended.
“I don’t care if they’ve broken up.”
“I don’t give a f–king s–t,” she laughed.
Whatever.
Still the queen.
We don’t give a “f–king s–t” about you, either, Bruno.

The Voice Recap: Miley Said Knock You Out!
The Voice Season 11 Knockout Rounds are underway, with Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys making tough calls.
And more tough calls, and more tough calls after that.
Let’s break down the Knockout rounds of the NBC hit.
Team Blake: Josh Gallagher vs. Sundance Head
Blake chose his two country powerhouses to go head-to-head with each other. Josh decided that the best course of action for him was to follow the route of strict interpretation of his song. He knew the song to do that with was Brooks and Dunn’s “My Maria.”
As expected, his performance was a success. The dude sure knows how to sing, so we would not have expected anything less from him.
However, Sundance Head opted to perform “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus and it sounded pretty amazing. Like, benchmarking it against Josh’s performance really showed the vocal range of Sundance Head.
Winner: Sundance Head!
Steal: Josh Gallagher to Team Adam Levine!
Team Alicia: Kylie Rothfield vs. Whitney and Shannon
There’s no denying that Kylie, Whitney and Shannon have become very close friends, so you can only imagine the shock when we found out they were going up against each other.
The Voice producers really know how to get us worried. Whitney and Shannon went with “I Won’t Give Up” by Jason Mraz as their track, but it was completely eclipsed by Kylie’s rendition of Big Mama Thornton’s “Hound Dog.”
Winner: Kylie Rothfield!
Steal: N/A
Team Miley: Ali Caldwell vs. Lauren Diaz
Lauren’s rendition of Audra Day’s “Rise Up” was a rather mediocre performance that found the contestant struggling to keep up with some of the notes. It was not the best song choice.
Ali went with Sade’s “No Ordinary Love” and it helped show off the vocal range she had and it was much better than Lauren’s performance.
Winner: Ali Caldwell!
Steal: N/A
Team Adam: Dave Moisan vs. Simone Gundy
Dave Moisan sprung a leak pretty much instantly in his performance of Sam Smith’s “Like I Can.” Seriously, it was one of the most disappointing performances of the night and it has us wondering why the heck he even chose to sing it.
Why would you sing a song you aren’t that good at performing? It’s odd.
That’s not to say Simone Gundy’s performance was much better, either. Simone opted to sing “Midnight Train to Georgia” by Gladys Knight and the Pips. It was another embarrassing performance.
Winner: Simone Gundy!
Steal: N/A
Team Alicia: Courtnie Ramirez vs. Wé McDonald
Wé McDonald continued to show off her vocal prowess with Mary J. Blige’s “No More Drama.” It was hands down her best performance on the show yet, but it also made it clear that she’s a force to be reckoned with.
Anyone who goes up against her will most likely be going home. That rung true when Courtnie’s solid performance of Beyonce’s “If I were A Boy” saw her being eliminated.
Winner: Wé McDonald!
Steal: N/A
Team Adam: Jason Warrior. vs. Riley Elmore
Who does not like to listen to some Michael Bublé? That’s what Riley was thinking when he chose to sing “Haven’t Met You Yet.” The rendition was met with rave response and rightfully so.
Jason Warrior’s performance of Luke James’ “I Want You” struggled to measure up, but it was still a thrilling performance.
Winner: Riley Elmore!
Steal: Jason Warror to Team Blake Shelton!
Who do you think had the best performance of the night? Did your favorite make the cut?

Teen Mom Brawl Fallout: Simon Said WHAT???
The cast of Teen Mom OG are in a very dark place right about now.
All of that came about after a complete and utter brawl at the taping of the Season 6 reunion special.
Seriously, it was crazy.
The brawl kicked off when Simon Saran’s comments about Matt Baier being a pedophile were addressed.
As you all probably would have guessed, Farrah Abraham was all too happy to rise to the occasion to stick the knife in further.
As is always the case with Farrah, her two cents are NEVER needed, but she gives then anyway.
That’s sort of what she does to keep her name in the spotlight.
Her response to the comments was that Matt looks like a pedophile.
That’s a downright ugly statement to make about anyone, but should we have expected anything less from the likes of Farrah.
I mean, she’s the chick who revels in biting the hand that feeds her.
When it was all said and done, there was a huge fight that involved the likes of Amber Portwood, Maci Bookout and of course Farrah.
Farrah’s father, Michael was part of the drama and there’s even word that Matt sent him flying into the audience.
Yes, it sure sounds like Matt was throwing people around.
Stay classy, Teen Mom OG cast.
Or don’t. The should would be uninteresting without all of this drama!
On top of all of that, the cast were also apparently pissed that Farrah threw a tantrum during the production, forcing delays.
In the aftermath of the brawl, Simon made it clear that he was not moving on from all of the drama.
This was proven when he went on yet another social media rant.
This time, Amber and Matt were getting trashed.
Have a look at the tweet below:
Maybe he and Farrah are made for each other, after all.
The two of them seem to have a bet on to see who can be the most controversial out of the two.
It’s pretty sad, but a date night is probably not trashy enough for them.
Let’s hope all of the brawl footage makes it into the reunion episode, because it genuinely sounds like it’s going to be a treat.
What do you think about all of this?

Donald Trump RNC Speech: 16 Things He Actually Said
Donald Trump has dubbed himself the "law and order" candidate.
He has also made numerous promises and said some very bad things about Hillary Clinton.
Here is a rundown of the real estate mogul"s speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention:
1. He’s Humbled
Friends, delegates and fellow Americans: I humbly and gratefully accept your nomination for the Presidency of the United States.
2. PC… ya!
We cannot afford to be so politically correct anymore.
3. That’s Rich
Big business, elite media and major donors are lining up behind the campaign of my opponent because they know she will keep our rigged system in place. They are throwing money at her because they have total control over every single thing she does. She is their puppet, and they pull the strings.
4. Don’t Be With Her
Now let us consider the state of affairs abroad. Not only have our citizens endured domestic disaster, but they have lived through one international humiliation after another… This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton: death, destruction and weakness. But Hillary Clinton’s legacy does not have to be America’s legacy.
5. I’m a Uniter!
In this race for the White House, I am the law and order candidate. The irresponsible rhetoric of our President, who has used the pulpit of the presidency to divide us by race and color, has made America a more dangerous environment than frankly I have ever seen and anybody in this room has ever watched or seen. This administration has failed America’s inner cities.
6. FIRST!
A change in leadership is required to change these outcomes. Tonight, I will share with you my plan of action for America. The most important difference between our plan and that of our opponents, is that our plan will put America first.

Michael Jackson Said WHAT About Prince?! Read His Scathing Comments
Fans have compared Michael Jackson and Prince on numerous occasions, and it’s easy to see the similarities between the two stars.
Both singers were eccentric, top-of-the-charts pop icons who rose to fame in the 80s with oft-controversial lyrics and always-stupefying dance moves.
But the two were hardly friends, we’ve now learned.
New recordings uncovered by The Mirror reveal some harsh words Jackson had for Prince 30 years ago.
“I don’t like to be compared to Prince at all,” the Thriller singer said in the tapes.
He went on:
“I have proven myself since I was real little. It’s not fair. He feels like I’m his opponent.
“I hope he changes because boy, he’s gonna get hurt. He’s the type that might commit suicide or something.”
Jackson also called his rival “rude,” “mean” and “nasty,” although he does not elaborate on any specific incidents between the two.
“He was so rude, one of rudest people I have ever met,” he said. “Prince is very competitive. He has been very mean and nasty to my family.”
Unbelievably, the King of Pop made fun of Prince when he stumbled into the crowd onstage at a 1983 James Brown tribute show after he mistook a paper mache lamp post for a real one.
“He made a fool of himself. He was a joke,” Jackson mocked. “People were running and screaming. I was so embarrassed. It was all on video.”
Jackson, who had been in the public eye since he was a child, claimed that Prince was “starstruck” when they first met, but the Purple One shifted his attitude once he found fame himself.
Despite their differences, the two music legends unfortunately share one more similarity: both their deaths were caused by an overdose to physician-prescribed medication.
Toxicology results indicated that Prince died of an opioid overdose this year, assumed to be Percoset, which he was reportedly taking for hip pain.
Jackson’s death was attributed to a lethal dose of the sedative Propofol, administered by his doctor, Conrad Murray.
Even stranger, Jackson named his third child Prince Michael Jackson, born in 2002.
