The Walking Dead Finale Sparks Controversy, Slamming of Showrunner
SPOILER ALERT:
Do not read the following post unless you have seen The Walking Dead Season 8 Episode 8.
Okay? Got it? Ready? Don’t say you haven’t been warned…
On the midseason finale of this beloved AMC drama, we learned that Carl Grimes had been bitten by a zombie and was knocking very loudly on death’s door.
Played by one of the drama’s original cast members, Chandler Riggs, Carl was believed be one of the few characters remaining who wasn’t in danger of being killed off.
Hence, the shocking reaction from fans.
Those who watch The Walking Dead online or on television obviously expected major deaths on a near-weekly basis.
But young Carl?!? Say it isn’t so.
It is so, however.
“Yes, Carl is going to die,” Riggs told The Hollywood Reporter after the finale aired, adding simply:
“There’s no way he can get back from that. His story is definitely coming to an end.”
Again, a long-time character bidding farewell is pretty much par for The Walking Dead course.
But this storyline has sparked a different reaction than prior deaths because Riggs’ father has actually come out and slammed the series of essentially firing his son.
“Watching [showrunner Scott] Gimple fire my son 2 weeks before his 18th birthday after telling him they wanted him for the next 3 years was disappointing,” William Riggs wrote on Facebook last night in a post that has since been deleted.
But this is the Internet.
It will live on forever.
“I never trusted Gimple or AMC but Chandler did,” William added.
“I know how much it hurt him.
“But we do absolutely know how lucky we have been to be a part of it all and appreciate all the love from fans all these years!”
In the graphic novels on which The Walking Dead is based, Carl does not die.
However, Chandler told The Hollywood Reporter that he was made aware of his character’s fate several months ago.
He told the outlet:
“I found out when I was doing rehearsals for episode six back in June. It was quite the shocker for me, Andy and everyone because I don’t think anyone saw it coming.
“It’s definitely not a bad thing because it has been awesome being on the show, but now I get to go and do a lot of other stuff that I haven’t gotten to do before.
“Scott wanted to meet in person because it was such a big deal.
“We had just finished rehearsing for a scene in episode six and he wanted to meet with me and my mom and dad and talk about what’s going to happen.”
Sounds a lot more diplomatic than his dad, doesn’t he?
The Walking Dead, meanwhile, returns to AMC Sunday, February 25, at 9/8c.
Were you stunned to see Carl go? Who do you think gets killed off next?

Marjorie Jackson: Slamming Josh Duggar in New Tell-All?!
When we first learned that Josiah Duggar was courting Marjorie Jackson, it was widely assumed that the arrangement would end in marriage.
After all, when the Duggars reach the point where they’re announcing their romantic relationships to the world, it usually means the potential spouse has been thoroughly vetted, and a wedding is already in the works.
But after weeks of hype and engagement ring shopping, something strange happened.
First, Marjorie disappeared from Josiah’s Instagram page.
Shortly thereafter, it was announced that Josiah and Marjorie had ended their courtship, an almost unheard-of move in the Duggar’s world.
A few months later, word got out that Marjorie was writing a book, and the news was met with a decidedly mixed response.
The Duggar faithful feared a damaging tell-all, while critics of the family eagerly awaited the very same.
On Monday, Marjorie’s book – Devoted: A Girl’s 31-Day Guide to Good Living With a Great God – finally hit stores (and Kindles) and it seems she’s managed to pull off the difficult task of satisfying those on both sides of the Duggar debate.
Not surprisingly, she doesn’t throw any direct shade at the Counting On clan.
(For better or worse, the Duggar’s remain her number one claim to fame.)
However, there are some excerpts that are being interpreted as Jackson’s subtle commentary on the Josh Duggar sex scandals, which many believe are the primary reason she decided to end her relationship to Josiah.
Not surprisingly, Marjorie spends much of the book emphasizing the importance of sexual chastity:
“Where promiscuousness once would have been the hush-hush elephant in the room, it now seems that purity sticks out loudly more than ever in a world where anything and everything goes,” she writes at one point.
She later adds:
“How do we handle relationships? What kinds of movies, music, websites, jokes, and conversations do we allow and engage in? Is our dress suggestive and provocative, or modest and proper for a girl professing to have Jesus in her heart?”
Without the context of a young woman who recently cut ties with a family who’s famous for covering up a series of sex scandals, perhaps those quotes wouldn’t seem so damning.
Marjorie goes on to warn her young readers about the pitfalls of entering a courtship blindly, without foreknowledge of the family one might be entering into:
“Be sure to screen each potential suitor through your dad or anything trusted Christian spiritual leader first!” she writes in the book.
“That will help weed out the creepers and determine character.”
And just what makes one a creeper?
Well, in Marjorie’s book (literally) creepers are those who perv out on the Internet, not unlike Josh Duggar when he used the Ashley Madison website to cheat on his wife:
“Those words we text, e-mail, write and post on social media…God sees it all,” Marjorie warns, adding:
“Jesus never excluded any of our methods of communication, on or out of cyberspace.”
Watch for Josh’s confessional memoir about the pain of being roasted to a crisp by a teenage girl, which will probably be released this fall.
We kid, but seriously – that’s some nice passive-aggressive shade on Marjorie’s part.

Steve Harvey: Sorry for Slamming Asians as Ugly!
Steve Harvey may have celebrated his 60th birthday yesterday with some cake and ice cream.
But he also did so by issuing a mea culpa.
The comedian and talk show host finally responded to the onslaught of criticism he’s received since cracking wise about Asian men way back on January 6.
During a taping of his program, Harvey couldn’t hold back his laughter while talking about a (real!) self-help book titled “How to Date a White Woman: A Practical Guide for Asian Men.”
You must admit: that’s a pretty funny title and a rather absurd subject or an actual book.
But some critics think Harvey went a bit too far in the way he approached this topic, imagining a fake conversation between an Asian man and a white woman.
He did so by taking on the persona of a mild-mannered Asian man, pretending as if this man just encountered a white woman and asked:
“‘Excuse me, do you like Asian men?’ ‘No.’ Okay, thank you.’”
Harvey went on to joke about Asian men then attempting to go after black women.
“Same thing,” he said, still laughing. “‘You like Asian men? … ‘I don’t even like Chinese food. I don’t eat what I can’t pronounce."”
Twitter went after Harvey pretty hard for these comments, with one user saying anyone who resembles “a human Mr. Potato Head” really should not insult anyone else’s looks.
Fresh Off the Boat author Eddie Huang and a group of New York-based Asian-American lawmakers also attacked Harvey via the following statement:
“You and your producers managed to insult Asian men, white women, and black women with a single skit. Your statements were racist, sexist, and completely inappropriate for a public figure on a show broadcast to millions.”
Ouch, huh?
In response, Harvey took to Twitter on Tuesday and wrote the following:
I offer my humblest apology for offending anyone, particularly those in the Asian community, last week.
It was not my intention and the humor was not meant with any malice or disrespect whatsoever.
To make the apology come across as especially sincere or legitimate (or something), Harvey didn’t issue this statement as a simple Tweet.
He did so as a screen capture of a typed-out message:
Harvey, of course, also famously apologized in late 2015 after announcing the wrong Miss Universe winner live on stage.
But many folks forgot about both of these scandals after Harvey did something else seemingly abhorrent on Friday, January 13: he met with Donald Trump!
Photos of the President-Elect and the comedian laughing in the lobby of Trump Tower quickly went viral over the weekend, with Harvey forced to explain the discussion.
He said that he sat with Trump as a favor to President Barack Obama, who asked Harvey to help ensure Trump was focused on problems plaguing the inner cities.
Here is how Harvey explained the unexpected meeting:
Do you think he needed to release such a message? Did he owe the public an explanation?
Should African-Americans protest Trump as President or actively try to work with him on important causes?
It does make for an interesting debate, far more interesting than any discussion involving how Asian men could try to date white women.
While you consider this subject matter and these questions, also consider Harvey’s apology above.
Are you buying it? Where does it rank among all-time celebrity apologies over the years? See below for more!

This is the Tom Hiddleston Speech Everyone is Slamming
Tom Hiddleston won his first Golden Globe Award on Sunday night.
And he lost the respect of pretty much everyone who watched him accept said Golden Globe Award.
Having earned the trophy for his leading role in the AMC minseries The Night Manager, Hiddleston used his platform to tell a story.
It was a story about a recent trip he took South Sudan, where he worked with the United Nations Children’s Fund.
While there, Hiddleston says he was approached by a group of physicians and nurses with Doctors Without Borders who said they’d binge-watched The Night Manager during the previous month’s attack.
Hiddleston went on to say he moved by “the idea that we could provide some relief and entertainment for people … who are fixing the world in the places where it is broken" and he then dedicated his victory “to those out there who are doing their best."
Without being overly cynical, we"d like to think Hiddleston"s heart was in the right place.
Entertainment can absolutely provide a welcome distract and some kind of relief to those in need.
But social media has lit the actor up for the self-aggrandizing nature of his acceptance speech.
“That was a long story Tom Hiddleston told to pay himself a compliment,” TV writer Gary Janetti wrote on Twitter, while Scandl star Joshua Malina chimed in as follows:
"Thank you to Tom Hiddleston and all actors who dare to perform in projects that are shown in some of the most dangerous parts of the world."
Watch the speech for yourself and decide whether Hiddleston deserved all this ridicule:

Simon Saran: Still Slamming Teen Mom OG Stars, Still A Loser
Simon Saran thinks he’s pretty funny.
Farrah Abraham’s on-again/off-again boyfriend has taken to Snapchat after every episode of Teen Mom OG to make fun of Abraham’s co-stars.
Saran told Radar Online last month that his roasts are “all in good fun,” but they’re actually pretty mean, and borderline defamatory (translation: any one of Abraham’s co-stars could slap him with a lawsuit).
Saran enjoys making fun of Maci Bookout because she was rumored to be drinking during her third pregnancy.
“Careful kissing mommy, you don’t want to get the baby drunk,” Saran joked.
“How can you talk about balance when you can’t even balance walking a straight line cause you’re too f**ked up,” he continued.
And when Bookout washed her baby in the sink, Saran sniped,
“I’m going to wash my baby in the sink, the same sink I spill my beers in.”
Saran saved his best digs for Amber Portwood’s fiance, Matt Baier.
“He is the red dot in your community, watch out for him,” Saran said, insinuating that Baier was a pedophile.
Then, as if speaking to Portwood’s 7-year-old daughter, Leah, Saran said “I would be nervous too sweetheart, you don’t want to sit on that man’s lap.”
Leah’s dad, Gary Shirley has “every right to be worried about his daughter,” Saran added.
Portwood finally addressed Saran’s comments via Twitter.
“How is he a pedophile?” she asked.
“Where does that even come from? STFU and be the little boy toy weak a** person you are.”
I don’t often say this, but I agree with Portwood.
“Simon you’re a little b***h who lets a girl talk mad s**t to you. You’re weak and irrelevant. You’re a little boy toy puppet.”
BURN!
Today, Saran asked his 9,000+ followers what other shows would be fun to roast.
Fans suggested 90 Day Fiance or Rob & Chyna.
“He’ll get his, don’t worry,” Portwood later tweeted to Bookout and Catelynn Lowell.
To which Saran replied, “LMFAO, I’m shaking” with a bunch of laughing emojis.

Idiotic Trolls Are Actively Slamming Blue Ivy as Ugly
The Internet can be a very sad place.
Trust us. We make a living on it.
But have users now fallen to a new low? Is that even possible?
Last Sunday, Beyonce attended the MTV Video Music Awards with her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter.
They wore similar outfits and looked as precious as any mother and her child ever could look.
Here. See for yourself:
This is what we thought, at least.
But a handful of trolls have now taken to Instagram and straight up slammed the four-year old.
Seriously, people are insulting a four-year old, openly referring to her as “ugly” and saying many other mean things.
Ignoring the fact that these morons are wrong (Blue Ivy is totally adorable), the fact that they even feel a need to comment on the looks of an infant is the most troubling thing at play here.
Pretty disturbing, right?
If only those were the only comments of this nature…
And here’s something to keep in mind and ponder:
All of these comments were left by women. Every single one of them.
This really shouldn’t come as a surprise, sadly. Women are always the harshest critics of other women. But we never would have guessed they’d also be the harshest critics of young women.
Like, really young women.
Thankfully, Blue Ivy’s mother is Beyonce Knowles.
And it’s hard to think of a better female role model than Beyonce Knowles.
At the end of the day, Blue Ivy will be just fine. Beyonce will make sure of it.
We can’t say the same about the people who left the comments above, however.
We pity them. These people have serious, serious mental issues.
While we continue to bow down in the presence of Beyonce, we’ll go ahead and offer up some prayers for these misguided souls as well.

Ariel Winter SLAMS Chloe Grace Moretz for SLAMMING Kim Kardashian!
It’s the celebrity feud that just won’t stop.
The one about nude selfies and body positivity and (unsurprisingly) Kim Kardashian.
It all started when Kim posted (unsurprisingly) a nude selfie to Instagram.
Chloe Grace Moretz then warned that Kim should instead teach girls that women “have so much more to offer than just [their] bodies.”
Kim retorted by dissing Chloe, then wrote an essay claiming her selfie was about “body positivity.”
Enter Ariel Winter, who echoed Kim’s statements.
Fast forward a couple months, and Chloe tells Glamour magazine that she stands by her previous remarks, insisting that Kim’s selfie was not about body confidence, but about sexualizing herself for attention, likes and comments.
Back to Ariel and present time.
The Modern Family star took to Instagram to denounce Chloe’s comments to Glamour and defend Kim’s and her right to post revealing selfies in the name of, yep, #bodypositivity.
Here’s what she wrote:
“Many have asked about my opinion on a certain interview … all I’m going to say is this:
“If you take a photo in which you feel CONFIDENT about yourself and think it spreads a positive image, then GO FOR IT.
“The ‘background’ doesn’t matter – what matters is the message you are putting out there is true to what YOU believe in – not what anyone else says about YOU.
“I do what I can to create a positive light for my fans and I’m sure other celebrities are doing it in THEIR OWN WAY- no need to put one another down.
“No picture is the exception to someone else’s rule. Even if some people ‘know who they are.’ Live life on your own terms.”
This conversation exasperates me, because, frankly, I think they’re both correct to some degree.
Women have fought for decades to be thought of as more than mere sexual objects.
And let’s face it, Kim was positioning herself as a sexual object in that selfie.
She wasn’t saying, “My body doesn’t meet society’s standards of beauty but I love it anyway,” she was saying, “Look at how hot I am.”
Which is fine, theoretically speaking. It’s her body, and if she feels good about it, post away.
But it irks me that she’s trying to disguise it as some sort of feminist statement when we all know damn well her motivation had nothing to do with feminism or woman empowerment.
Chloe wasn’t slut-shaming Kim.
She was trying to suggest that it’s important to teach young girls that there is so much more value in being a woman than a sexy body and your ability to generate likes on social media from it.
Sorry, Ariel. I get where you’re coming from, but I’m Team Chloe on this one.

Arianda Grande Denies Slamming the Kardashians, But...
It’s already on record that Arianda Grande hates America.
But the young singer has also made it known that she hates girl-on-girl verbal violence, as demonstrated by a very odd and seemingly misguided meme she recently shared on Instagram.
As you can see in the top right, Grande wants to send “8,000,000 roses” to the doorstep of the person who created this image.
She also swears she is not throwing “shade” via her posting of it, writing that she is “shading” other memes, not the Kardashian sisters to whom this one makes reference.
Our heads are spinning faster than Grande backtracked after her aforementioned “I hate America” moment, but allow us to break down the nonsensical nature of this meme:
- When you juxtapose the Kardashians with a message about how we should spread love, not hate, you are most definitely slamming the Kardashians.
- Princess Di is featured here because…? You tell us, Ariana.
- Look, we’re all for feminism. And women definitely insult other women far too often for random, hurtful reasons, such as the color of their blouse or something.
- But we’re not sure if celebrating “all women” simply because they are women is really an example of feminism.
- Wendy Williams sucks, that’s simply a fact. Doesn’t it insult and demean women to pretend otherwise, simply because she has breasts?
- You should agree with us, Ariana.
Is it possible we have overanalyzed this meme? Yes. Anything is possible.
But Grande received so much flak for it that she was forced to delete her post.
Rest in peace, Princess Di. We’re sorry you were dragged into all of this.

Nancy Lee Grahn Apologizes for Slamming Viola Davis Emmy Speech
It may have been the highlight of the 2015 Emmy Awards:
Viola Davis became the first African-American to ever win Lead Actress in a Drama, breaking into tears on stage, quoting Harriet Tubman and earning a standing ovation.
You can watch the stirring speech above.
Nearly everyone who watched the Emmys cited Davis’ triumph as a step in the right direction for Hollywood… all except Nancy Lee Grahn, that is.
“I wish I loved #ViolaDavis Speech, but I thought she should have let @shondarhimes write it,” the General Hospital star wrote, citing the Grey’s Anatomy creator and How to Get Away with Murder producer.
Along with quoting Tubman and giving props to fellow stars Kerry Washington and Halle Berry, Davis said:
“The only thing that separates women of color from everyone else is opportunity… You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there.
“So here’s to all the writers, the awesome people – people who have redefined what it means to be beautiful, to be sexy, to be a leading woman, to be black.”
Grahn took issue with this message.
“I think she’s the bees knees but she’s elite of TV performers. Brilliant as she is. She has never been discriminated against…
“Try being any woman in TV. Wish she’d brought every woman in the picture. I wish I’d opportunity to play roles she gets.”
Following major backlash (note to pretty much all Caucasians: refrain from ever telling an African-American that he or she has never faced discrimination), Grahn jumped back on Twitter and wrote the following:
Viola Davis winning lead actress Emmy’s historic. My upset is acting awards dont fix racial injustice. As an actor I see how irrelevant we r. I never mean to diminish her accomplishment. She is a goddess. I want equality 4 ALL women, not just actors.
We’re sure Davis would say the same.
