Teen Choice Awards Honor Gun Violence Victims, Ask to #StopTheViolence

The Teen Choice Awards are not known as one of the more serious ceremonies in Hollywood.

This year’s version, for example was co-hosted by John Cena and Victoria Justice.

It also hands out surfboards instead of trophies and its categories include Choice AnTEENcipated Movie Actor and Choice Female Hottie.

Still, on Sunday evening, the 2016 Teen Choice Awards stopped and took a few moments to go from goofy to emotional.

Joined on stage by the loved ones of victims killed in recent shootings, Jessica Alba told their stories and the stories of the family members these people lost.

“Here with me tonight is a group of brave teenagers who share an unlikely bond that is hard to comprehend. They are the brothers, sisters, daughters and family members of recent victims of gun violence,” the actress said to open her speech.

“I am talking about Aurora, Baton Rouge, Dallas, Minneapolis, Orlando, San Bernardino, Newtown. It keeps happening, and it has to stop.”

Alba went on to say that each teenager on stage was connected to someone who died via gun violence.

It was tragic stuff to hear.

“J.T. [Lewis] was just like you, until he lost his 6-year-old little brother, Jesse Lewis, one of the 26 victims of the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting in Newtown,” Alba said, adding more names to the list:

“Jolene and Colin wake up every day missing their mother, Bennetta Betbadal, who was one of the 14 people killed in San Bernardino.”

Teen Choice Awards Stop to Honor Victims of Gun Violence

Some critics may say this was an inappropriate platform to use in order to send a political message.

But nearly anyone with a pulse had to be moved by the message anyway.

“Tonight we stand together with these teens, united in our call for peace and an end to this violence,” Alba said. “Now more than ever we need to stop, feel and ask what’s going on.”

From there, Ne-Yo took the stage to perform Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On.”

As he sang this classic track, photos of gun-violence victims and their families flashed on a screen behind him.

Again, powerful stuff.

“These teens had the courage to come here and share their grief and take a stand,” Alba told the crowd after Ne-Yo performance. “And tonight, Ne-Yo and I and all of us here and all of you watching need to do the same.”

Ne-Yo then asked attendees to come together as one by snapping a picture of the teens on stage and Tweeting it with the hashtag “#StopTheViolence.”

This isn’t the first time this summer that an awards ceremony sent an emotional message in regard to ongoing violence affecting America.

Take a look below at four of the best basketball players on the planet opening the ESPYs by talking about troubled race relations in the country:

Big Brother Recap: Who Got the First Care Package?

Sometimes, a little advantage is all you need in the Big Brother house to change things up, but does it come with a price?

Natalie won the first care package and it shocked the other houseguests. 

You really can’t blame them. She’s not playing the game at all. She’s won zero competitions and has previously made it clear that she’s only in the house for a vacation. 

Why sign up for Big Brother if you’re not going to play the game?

Moreover, why would someone want to willing float on through the game?

It’s clear she has fans, but they’re probably only fans because of her relationship with James. 

At the HOH competition, James seemed to be coaching her for the win and he didn’t even seem quiet about it. Everyone else knew what he was doing. 

They’re flaunting their showmance and it almost resulted in Natalie winning the HOH. I shudder to imagine what crazy decisions she would make with some power. 

Are they purposefully trying to stick out as targets? James seems to forget that he’s played the game before. 

Paul managed to hit the perfect shot first and secured his first HOH win of the summer. This meant that his alliance members were all safe. 

He was also pretty vocal about his plan to take out Bridgette. The thing that’s good about Paul is that once he has a plan, he wants to stick to it. 

It’s just a shame that his alliance members didn’t want to. Paulie seems to be getting the other houseguests to do his dirty work and that’s something that other houseguests will pick up on soon enough.

Paul needed one of his own to sit pretty with Bridgette on the block, but trying to get someone was super awkward. 

The fairest way to do it would have been to put all the names in a hat and draw one out. 

Nicole was silly to even entertain the idea of going on the block. No one should willingly volunteer. At this rate, she’ll be out of the game by next week. 

Paulie’s decision to go on the block was a surprising one, but it showed his loyalty to Paul. 

Da’vonne is the target, but she seems to think that Nicole could be the one to go. 

Paul nominated Paulie and Bridgette for eviction.

The plan is for Paulie to win the veto and for Da’vonne to go up as the replacement nominee. 

Will it work out that way?

Karlie Hay Crowned Miss Teen USA, Disparaged for N-Word Use

Another week, another beauty pageant scandal…

On Saturday night, Karlie Hay was crowned Miss Teen USA, representing the state of Texas and taking home the crown over four other finalists (who were all blonde-haired and blue-eyed).

But it didn’t take long afterward for a few comments from Hay’s past to come back and haunt her.

An astute Twitter user has tracked down a number of Tweets Hay sent in 2013 in which she dropped the N-Word on multiple occasions.

It’s difficult to make out the context of this racial epithet use based on the following messages…

… but what context could there really be for white woman to use this word that would make it remotely acceptable?

Former Miss Teen USA Kamie Crawford read about the scandal and decided to speak out on Twitter regarding Hay’s controversial past.

“I can take the #missteenusa top 5 being an all white, all blonde top 5. What I can’t take is – why didn’t the winner clean up her page?” Crawford wrote on social media.

“If u win any pageant – first things first. Clean up ur page. Cus if ur under 21 u shouldn’t b drinking&if ur WHITE the n word ain’t yo word!”

We may have phrased it differently, but she makes some good points.

Once Hay’s Tweets went viral, Karlie issued a public Mea Culpa that reads as follows:

“Several years ago, I had many personal struggles and found myself in a place that is not representative of who I am as a person. I admit that I have used language publicly in the past which I am not proud of and that there is no excuse for,” she wrote on Instagram.

She went on:

“Through hard work, education and thanks in large part to the sisterhood that I have come to know through pageants, I am proud to say that I am today a better person.

“I am honored to hold this title and I will use this platform to promote the values of The Miss Universe Organization, and my own, that recognize the confidence, beauty and perseverance of all women.”

Soon afterward, The Miss Universe Organization issued a statement to E! News.

“The language Karlie Hay used is unacceptable at any age and in no way reflects the values of The Miss Universe Organization. As Karlie stated, she was in a different place in her life and made a serious mistake she regrets and for which she sincerely apologizes,” the statement read.

“Karlie learned many lessons through those personal struggles that reshaped her life and values. We as an organization are committed to supporting her continued growth.”

Hay is only 18 years old.

She’s young and we all make mistakes.

But we say this after every beauty pageant, even the ones that lack scandals, because the year is 2016 and everything. So here we go:

HOW ARE BEAUTY PAGEANTS STILL A THING?!?
