Megyn Kelly Walks Back Idiotic Defense of Blackface

Megyn Kelly would like a mulligan.


On Tuesday morning, the former Fox News host reminded NBC viewers where she used to work by sitting around with a few panelists and making a passionate defense for…


… the use of blackface on Halloween?




Yes.


According to our records, this really was the random and racist hill on which Kelly decided to die for some reason.


During the controversial segment on Tuesday, Kelly said it was perfectly alright when she was growing up for white people to dress up as black characters on October 31, speaking out against the Politically Correct Police these days who frown on such a thing.


She used a really specific example to drive home her point, too.


Back in April, an episode of The Real Housewives of New York featured cast member Luann de Lesseps going out for Halloween as Diana Ross.


She received backlash for the outfit and then she apologized.


Simple and understandable enough, right?


Not to Megyn Kelly!



“But what is racist?” Kelly asked, digging herself a deep grave by expounding as follows:


“Because you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface on Halloween, or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween.


“Back when I was a kid that was OK, as long as you were dressing up as, like, a character.”


We’re pretty sure that last sentence is demonstrably false; there just wasn’t social media back in the day over which folks could voice their concerns about these types of costumes.


After earning immediate flak from basically everyone with a pulse, Kelly issued an apology on Tuesday evening.



Written as an internal note, a copy of which was provided by a spokesperson for NBC via Twitter, Kelly said the following:


One of the wonderful things about my job is that I get the chance to express and hear a lot of opinions.


Today is one of those days where listening carefully to other points of view, including from friends and colleagues, is leading me to rethink my own views.


Continued Kelly:


When we had the roundtable discussion earlier today about the controversy of making your face look like a different race as part of a Halloween costume, I suggested that this seemed okay if done as part of this holiday where people have the chance to make themselves look like others.


The iconic Diana Ross came up as an example.


To me, I thought, why would it be controversial for someone dressing up as Diana Ross to make herself look like this amazing woman as a way of honoring and respecting her?


I realize now that such behavior is indeed wrong, and I am sorry. The history of blackface in our culture is abhorrent; the wounds too deep.



Yes, exactly.


Kelly prides herself as a journalist and yet somehow didn’t realize previously that blackface — which was used in the late 19th century and early 20th century by white theater performers to mock and stereotype African-Americans – has an offensive history?!?


Come on, Megs.


As Melania Trump might say, try to be be better, okay?


Try not to make it so clear that you want back on Fox News and are happy to show executives there while you still belong.



Go ahead and search social media for the best responses to this scandal, but we’ll go with Top Chef Padma Lakshmi and her Tweet.


This is what she wrote:


“I cannot believe the ignorance on this in 2018. You are on national television.


“You have a responsibility to educate yourself on social issues @megynkelly. This is so damaging.”


Once aganin: Yes, exactly.

Carrie Underwood Walks Red Carpet, Sparks Plastic Surgery Chatter


Carrie Underwood has an amazing voice, a humble attitude, a happy marriage…


… and a fake nose?


This question is now being asked by a handful of social media trolls after the legendary country singer walked the red carpet of the 2018 CMT Awards in Nashville.


Do they have a point?


What does this have to do with that awful accident the singer suffered through in late 2017?


Scroll through the following photos and comments to find out!




1. Look at Us!


Look at us

Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher do not walk many red carpets together. But they made an exception at the CMT Awards in Nashville.



2. But Whatever…


But whatever

No one seemed to care about the appearance of Carrie and her husband, only about a face they swear looks different than it did before.



3. Compare for Yourself


Carrie underwood on acm stage

This is a photo of Underwood on stage at the ACM Awards in April, about two months prior to her CMT Awards appearance. See anything markedly different?



4. Like New Lips, Maybe?


Lips

This is what at least one Twitter user is wondering.



5. Or the Nose?


Nose

This person is giving a new meaning to the NSFW term “just the tip,” if you know what we mean.



6. This Absolutely Happened!


100 percent

I have total, complete, 100% certainty that Carrie Underwood has undergone plastic surgery. I’d bet my life on it!

World"s Hottest Felon Walks New York Fashion Week Runway


Remember Jeremy Meeks?


The married father of three was arrested in 2014, making headlines at the time for his piercing eyes and perfect jawbone, not for the crime he committed that placed him in the custody of the Stockton Police Department in California.


Once his mug shot went viral, Meeks earned Internet fame as Hot Mug Shot Guy.


He then went to jail, got out and became a professional model.


Fast forward about a year after his modeling debut and Meeks made another debut on Monday night:


He walked the runway at New York Fashion Week, struting his sexy stuff in the New York Public Library alongside famous models such as Desiigner, Fetty Wap and Young Thug.


Did Meeks hold his own at the event?


Check out photos of him on stage and backstage, with a shirt on and totally shirtless, below:

Kris Jenner Bursts Into Tears, Walks Out of Interview

Are you ready for one of the most revealing Keeping Up with the Kardashians episodes in the history of this hilariously scripted reality show?


You better be.


Because it’s on tap for this Sunday!


First, as previously depicted, Kim Kardashian will open up about an important issue close to her heart: gun control.


She’ll try to convince Kendall Jenner to join her cause, but the argument will fall on seemingly deaf and selfish ears.



Also, as featured in THIS SNEAK PEEK, Kim will admit to Kourtney Kardashian that she’s open to the idea of surrogacy.


Kim wants to have a third child, but doesn’t think her body can handle a third pregnancy.


But the person who will shed the most tears next week will be Kris Jenner. Although it’s unclear exactly why.


As seen in the clip below, Jenner will sit down and interview her mom, M.J., for some kind of legacy video on this Sunday’s brand new installment.


The family matriarch and manager will ask her mother some basic questions, such as the age of her first kiss and the year she was born. Pretty basic stuff.



But then Kris will ask M.J. about her biggest fear in life.


“Biggest fear…I try not to fear,” M.J. replies. “What’s your biggest fear?”


And when faced with the same question she just posed to her parent, Kris totally breaks down.


“Why did you ask me that?” Jenner says, unable to hold back her emotion. “I can’t believe I’m crying…just losing someone.”


In Jenner’s defense, she did lost her ex-husband Robert to cancer. He passed away in 2003.


So we guess she has a reason to possess this fear.


But why did it manifest itself suddenly in this interview? How was it possible that basically just hearing the word “fear” caused her to fall apart into an incoherent mess and cut the Q&A short?


Who the heck knows.


It’s almost as if producers came up with this idea and then offered it to Kris as an opportunity for her to show her soft and vulnerable side.


Check out the moving clip below:



Forget losing someone for a moment, though. Forget death.


Let’s focus on life!


As in… the new life that is now part of Kris Jenner’s world because son Rob Kardashian welcomed a child into the world on Thursday.


Kris was actually present for the birth of granddaughter Dream Kardashian, saying it was one of the most beautiful moments of her life.


We can only imagine.


We make plenty of fun of Kris Jenner and other members of this family. Because they deserve said mockery.


But it’s an amazing, blessed event to welcome a baby into the world.


Perhaps this event can give Kris some comfort. Perhaps she can focus on gaining someone instead of losing someone.


And perhaps the writers can come up with better material for her going forward… because this was just lame and contrived. We know they can do better.

Pokemon GO Player Walks Right Into Body of Water

Note to anyone playing Pokemon GO:


Stop playing Pokemon GO. Seriously.


But if you refuse to heed this piece of advice, at least follow the words of wisdom below:


Stop playing Pokemon GO while walking anywhere near a body of water.



In the following video, some dude is obsessed with this app, staring into his phone and talking to those around him.


He"s on the search for animated creatures that sort of exist in the real world (that"s the most in-depth understand we"re willing to have of Pokemon GO) when… oops!


He walks right into lots of wet stuff!


“Holy sh-t, I didn’t know that was water,” says the man. “That was funny.”


Sure, yes. Funny. That"s one word for it.


There was also this instance of a weatherman having his report interrupted by a colleague playing the game…



… and this admission by a 27-year old that Pokemon GO has caused her to question her entire life.



We can see how it can have that effect on people.


Watch this idiot walk into a lake now:
