National Anthem Singer Goes Rogue, Says "All Lives Matter"

Over the years, plenty of sporting events have featured plenty of controversial national anthems.


There was the time Nelly Furtado butchered "O Canada."


And also the time Aaron Lewis forgot the words to the Star Spangled Banner.


But we"ve never had an incident quite like this before…



On Tuesday night, a group called The Tenors sang the Canadian national anthem in San Diego during the seventh inning of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game.


At one point, a member changed lyrics from the first verse of the song, substituting “With glowing hearts we see thee rise, the True North strong and free,” to the following:


“We"re all brothers and sisters, all lives matter.”


All lives matter, of course, is the response of total idiots to the Black Lives Matter movement, as these morons (and bigots?) can"t seem to comprehend why it"s important these days to emphasize the importance of African-American lives.


The entire point of the movement is that all lives do not appear to matter in the same way, not after a number of racially-charged incident between police officers and African-Americans that have left many in the latter community dead.


Very soon after the anthem change last night, The Tenors released a statement.


It condemned the member of the group who changed the lyrics and said he did so without the knowledge of the other singers.


Referring to Remigio Pereira, the statement read as follows:


The Tenors are deeply sorry for the disrespectful and misguided lack of judgment by one member of the group acting as a ‘lone wolf’ today during the singing of the Canadian national anthem at the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in San Diego.


The other members of the group are shocked and embarrassed by the actions of Remigio Pereira, who changed the lyrics of our treasured anthem and used this coveted platform to serve his own political views.


Our sincere apologies and regrets go out to everyone who witnessed this shameful act, to our fellow Canadians, to Major League Baseball, to our friends, families, fans and to all those affected.


The actions of one member of this group were extremely selfish and he will not be performing with The Tenors until further notice.


Tuesday’s All-Star Game took place four days after five Dallas police officers were killed by a gunman… and the week after two black men were killed by police.

Vanessa Bryant: Pregnant with Baby #3!

Well, now we know what Kobe Bryant has been doing with all his free time:


Having unprotected sex with his wife!



The legendary former shooting guard, who retired in April after a 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, announced on Tuesday that he and his wife are expecting their third child.


It will be another girl.


Kobe confirmed the exciting news himself via Instagram, sharing a photo of a “Baby Mamba” onesie with the world and writing as a caption:


“Beyond blessed and excited to share that we are expecting our third baby girl!!! #Blessed #BabyMamba #Thankful.”


As you can see below, the outfit also included a tiny pair of Nike sneakers:



Vanessa Bryant shared the same photo and caption on her Instagram account.


The couple already have two kids together, daughters Natalia, 13, and Gianna, 10.


And they have been through A LOT throughout the course of their marriage.


Bryant was accused of sexual assault back in 2003, holding a press conference at the time during which he proclaimed his innocence, but admitted to infidelity.


After the charges were dropped, Kobe and Vanessa split, with the latter even filing for divorce at one point.


(It’s worth noting that she did stick by Kobe’s side throughout the rape trial.)


But Kobe convinced his wife that he would remain loyal moving forward and the two eventually reconciled.


To close out his Hall of Fame career in April, the ex-Lakers star scored 60 points in his final game.


“Mamba out!” Bryant said during his speech after playing at Staples Center for the very last time.


In this case, however, we’re looking at a case of Mamba being in that has resulted in another baby on the way.


Crass jokes aside, we’re very happy for the Bryants. We send them our very best wishes.


Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County Online: Check Out Season 11 Episode 3

Vicki’s daughter’s return was a focal point on The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 11 Episode 3, but was it a happy homecoming?



Meanwhile, Meghan King Edmonds begun IVF shots as part of her efforts to get pregnant, but had to confront a huge fear in the process. 


Also, newcomer Kelly Dodd hosted a beach party, which was – of course – much more than that, because of what the gathering entailed.


This forced Vicki and Tamra to get together and hash it out.


It meaning everything. The feud to end all RHOC feuds.


Were they able to put it behind them? We know Vicki thinks she’s the victim, and Tamra feels Brooks is the worst person to ever live.


Could they find common ground to get past this, though?


The time has come to find out, and there’s only one way to do so, and that’s to watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online.


See the drama from start to finish now, but remember:


No matter where you are in life, or what your background is, there simply ain’t no party like an OC party, and an OC party don’t stop.


Zero idea what that means, but we can see Tamra saying it.

Jennifer Aniston: Not Pregnant, Just PISSED!

Jennifer Aniston has finally had it.


After years and years of having tabloids claim she is pregnant, the actress wrote a candid blog entry for The Huffington Post on Tuesday in which she WENT OFF on the sexist Hollywood rumor mill.



“For the record, I am not pregnant. What I am is fed up,” the 46-year-old said.


She wasn’t close to finished, either.


“I’m fed up with the sport-like scrutiny and body-shaming that occurs daily…. If I am some kind of symbol to some people out there, then clearly I am an example of the lens through which we, as a society, view our mothers, daughters, sisters, wives, female friends and colleagues.


“The objectification and scrutiny we put women through is absurd and disturbing.”


Aniston, who is divorced from Brad Pitt and happily married to Justin Theroux, continued:


“The message that girls are not pretty unless they’re incredibly thin, that they’re not worthy of our attention unless they look like a supermodel or an actress on the cover of a magazine is something we’re all willingly buying into.”



Aniston’s understandable rant comes just a few weeks after In Touch posted pictures of the actress in a bikini, claiming at the time that she was expecting her first child.


As you can see throughout this post, it’s not the first time a magazine has written such nonsense.


It’s not the second time, either.


Or the third time. Or the fourth time. Or the fifth time…



“Here’s where I come out on this topic: We are complete with or without a mate, with or without a child,” Aniston added.


“We get to decide for ourselves what is beautiful when it comes to our bodies.


“That decision is ours and ours alone. Let’s make that decision for ourselves and for the young women in this world who look to us as examples. … We don’t need to be married or mothers to be complete.


“We get to determine our own ‘happily ever after’ for ourselves.”


The Most Beautiful Woman in the World made it clear that she isn’t ruling out having children, but emphasized she won’t stand for the constant scrutiny.


And, if that day ever comes, it will be because she wants to be a mother, not out of any societal pressure.



“I may become a mother some day, and since I’m laying it all out there, if I ever do, I will be the first to let you know.


“But I’m not in pursuit of motherhood because I feel incomplete in some way … I resent being made to feel ‘less than’ because my body is changing and/or I had a burger for lunch and was photographed from a weird angle and therefore deemed one of two things: ‘pregnant’ or ‘fat.’


Not to mention the painful awkwardness that comes with being congratulated by friends, coworkers and strangers alike on one’s fictional pregnancy (often a dozen times in a single day).”


Close your eyes and listen, readers. Hear that sound?


It’s the sound of the entire world standing up and clapping for Jennifer Aniston.


Perfectly said all around, Jen.
