Caitlyn Jenner to Embark on Speaking Tour

Caitlyn Jenner may soon be coming to a city near you.


No, the former Olympian is not about to embark on a singing career. But she will be getting behind a microphone.



A rep for the transgender star has confirmed that will be embarking on a five-stop speaking tour in 2016 with an organization titled “Unique Lives and Experiences.”


Not many details are available regarding the theme of Jenner’s upcoming speeches.


But it’s safe to assume she’ll touch on many of the same themes we applauded her for in the Caitlyn Jenner ESPYs speech.


Acceptance. Tolerance. Self-confidence. Self-belief.


Jenner, of course, came out as a woman in an interview this April with Diane Sawyer.


She then went on to chronicle her life in transition during I Am Cait, an eight-episode reality show on E! that has been picked up for a second season.


The title of Jenner’s lecture will be “Up Close and Personal” and her mini tour is scheduled to place in Toronto, Vancouver, Denver, San Francisco and Seattle beginning in late February.


Tickets are already on sale, ranging from $ 40 to $ 500 for a VIP package, depending on the location.


Back when she was known as Bruce Jenner, after she won a Gold Medal in 1976, Jenner spent many years on the inspirational speaking circuit.


This, however, marks Jenner’s first speaking tour since announcing her transition.


Martin O"Malley Sings Taylor Swift on The View

Look out, Hillary Clinton!


You may be able to awkwardly dance to Jennifer Lopez, but Martin O"Malley just did you one better.


The Democratic hopeful appeared on The View today, taking some time to talk about real political issues before getting down to the important stuff:


His guitar-playing skills, which O"Malley showed off by not just covering Taylor Swift, but by proving he knows all about her rivalary with Katy Perry.


Migh this performance swing the election? No. No chance. Not in a million years. But watch it anyway.

#BoycottStarWarsVII Movement Trends on Twitter; You Won’t Believe Why

Sadly, racist morons do not exist in a galaxy far, far away.


They are alive, well and ranting like absolute lunatics on Twitter.



A day after the final (awesome!) Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer went viral, a social media movement has sprung up that is asking fans to #BoycottStarWarsVII.


Because these critics don’t want to see the franchise being ruined by a subpar follow-up? No. We wish that were the reason.


Instead, the hashtag is symbolic of an objection some actually have to the fact that The Force Awakens features lead characters who are NOT white males; its users are accusing the film of pushing an evil multicultural agenda.


We are sadly serious.


#BoycottStarWarsVII because it is anti-white propaganda promoting #whitegenocide,” reads one Tweet from an account calling itself “End Cultural Marxism.”


Another simply says that “Jewish activist JJ Abrams is an anti-white nut.”


Other messages voice complaints over a “non-White Star Wars,” while one Twitter user believes the blockbuster should be boycotted “because it’s nothing more than a social justice propaganda piece that alienates its core audience of young white males.”


We could spend days thinking of retorts to these total lunatics, but we’ll let Tony Award-winning Audra McDonald do it for us within 140 characters:


“#BoycottStarWarsVII folks, Lemme get this straight: Wookies, Ewoks & Droids are fine but a BLACK PERSON is a problem?


“Go home. You’re Drunk.”


Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande Awkwardly Tease Remix

In late March, Justin Bieber joined Ariana Grande on stage for a duet of her song "Love Me Harder."


But Bieber forgot some of the words and it didn"t go very well.


So at least Justin remembers every line in the following piece of footage, but it doesn"t exactly hits its intended target, either.


The video depicts Grande and Bieber separated by a wall for some reason, promoting an offer that allows fans who pre-order Bieber’s upcoming album to receive their recently-recorded remix of “What Do You Mean?


The offer is great and we"re sure fans will take full advantage of it.


But the attempts here by the singer to be funny? Let"s just say Ariana and Justin are fortunate they don"t tell jokes for a living.
