Andy Samberg Is Once Again Hilarious In First ‘Tour De Pharmacy’ Lance Armstrong Parody Trailer

0

HBO

The teaser for HBO’s upcoming Tour De Pharmacy is here and, spoiler alert, it’s hilarious. Then again, what else would you expect from Andy Samberg, who crushed it on Saturday Night Live with his band Lonely Island, crushed it in his first collaboration with HBO 7 Days In Hell and crushes it on Fox’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine. What I’m trying to say is, Tour de Pharmacy is probably going to crush. Anytime you have the opportunity to make fun of Lance Armstrong, you take it, right?

Check out the trailer below.

Here’s the official plot synopsis from HBO which already has us chuckling.

In 1982, during a dark and fictitious time in cycling history, the sport’s most venerable, time-honored race was marred by the doping of virtually all of its competitors. Riddled with nefarious characters, that year’s competition was a hornet’s nest of moral depravity. Through the perspective of five riders, Tour De Pharmacy gives an inside look into the grim realities of the darkest event in a sport notoriously tainted by controversy.

Starring and executive produced by Andy Samberg (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine”; HBO’s “7 Days In Hell”), and written and executive produced by Murray Miller (“King of the Hill”; HBO’s “Girls”), this fictional, none-too-serious look at that sordid event debuts SATURDAY, JULY 8 (10:00–10:50 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO.


Judge Declares Who Is Entitled To Prince’s $200 Million Estate

A Minnesota judge has made a ruling on who the heirs are to Prince’s estate. At the time of his death, Prince was estimated to be worth around $200 million.

What Happened?

In a ruling made public Friday, Carver County District Judge Kevin Eide declared that Prince died without a will and that his sister, Tyka Nelson, and five half-siblings are his heirs.

Several people filed appeals after their claims of heirship were rejected. Eide said that if the appellate courts send these cases back to him, he’ll continue to consider them.

Eide also said that Prince’s assets will not be distributed without a formal court order. Nothing will be distributed that might negatively affect the claims of those with pending appeals.

The judge had previously said he wouldn’t declare the siblings as heirs until the appeals situation had been settled. Attorneys for those filing appeals said their interests would be adversely effected if the district court didn’t wait out the appeals process.

However, lawyers for Prince’s sibling did not wish to draw out the process any further, saying additional delays would have increased costs to the estate and impede its efficient administration.

Prince died on April 21 of an accidental drug overdose. Court filings suggest his estate is worth around $200 million. Federal and state estate taxes are expected to consume about half the value.


Prince

Prince was an American singer-songwriter, actor, multi-instrumentalist, philanthropist, dancer and record producer.

He was a musical innovator who was known for his eclectic work, flamboyant stage presence, extravagant dress and makeup, and wide vocal range. His music integrates a wide variety of styles, including funk, rock, R&B, new wave, soul, psychedelia, and pop. He has sold over 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. He won seven Grammy Awards, an American Music Award, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award for the film Purple Rain. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, his first year of eligibility. Rolling Stone ranked Prince at number 27 on its list of 100 Greatest Artists, “the most influential artists of the rock & roll era”.

He was 57 when he passed away.

Sommer Ray Puts On A Workout That You’ll Definitely Want To See

It’s been way too long since I last checked in with Sommer Ray, and for that I’m offering my sincerest apologies. My slacker ways have deprived my loyal readers of updates on one of the sexiest models in the Instagram game, and today, the Sommer drought on COED comes to a merciful end.

Let me extend an olive branch for my past transgressions by posting this new video of Sommer getting in an especially mesmerizing workout. If this video doesn’t put me back in your good graces, I don’t know what will.

My oh my, Sommer is a sight for sore eyes. I would’ve preferred some slow motion action instead of the video getting sped up and sounding like a bootleg Kanye West chipmunk soul sample, but that was still sensational. Our nation owes a debt of gratitude to the fitness guru who invented squat jumps. What a game-changer.

Joanne Mogavero was burned by a cup of Starbucks coffee in Florida and was awarded more than $100,000 for her injuries Thursday.

What Happened?

Mogavero won the suit in Duval County after a jury found the coffee chain negligent for the lid popping off their coffee cup and resulting in the hot beverage spilling in her lap, according to court records.

Mogavero, a 43-year-old mother, was at a Starbucks drive-thru in July 2014 when she ordered a Venti Pike’s Place coffee, her lawyer said. While passing the coffee to the passenger’s seat the lid suddenly fell off and the 190-degree cup of coffee landed in her lap. She suffered permanent scarring.

The jury awarded Mogavero $15,492.14 for her medical bills and an additional $85,000 for her pain and suffering.

“My client didn’t want sympathy from the jury — she wanted justice — and the jury gave it to her with its verdict,” her lawyer, Steve Earle said.

UPDATE: In a statement to COED, Starbucks noted: “As we said in trial, we stand behind our store partners (employees) in this case and maintain that they did nothing wrong. We’re considering an appeal.”


Starbucks

Starbucks Corporation is an American coffee company and coffeehouse chain. Starbucks was founded in Seattle, Washington in 1971. Today, it boasts more than 24,400 locations worldwide and employees 238,000 workers. Starbucks generates around $20 billion in annual revenue.

Florida High School Teacher Arrested For Sexual Misconduct With A Student

Port St. Lucie High School teacher Tiffany Geliga has been arrested and charged with sexual misconduct fdue to an inappropriate relationship with a 17-year-old student.

Geliga is being charged with two counts of sex assault by persons 24 years or older on a victim 16 or 17-year-old.

According to Port St. Lucie police spokesman Frank Sabol, the 17-year-old told school administrators that he had sexual relations with Geliga on two separate occasions say police.

According to the student, the pair had sex off-campus in Geliga’s car in late April 2017 or early May 2017. Detectives confirmed the sexual encounters by listening in on a phone call between the victim and Geliga.

Via CBS 12:

The investigation kicked off when a mother of another student noticed calls from Geliga say police. The parent went on to check her son’s cellphone and noticed texts between him and Geliga. The son then told school administrators that he believed another student was having a sexual relationship with the teacher.

Police say Geliga is a chemistry teacher and is listed as being part of the science faculty on the school’s website.

After the unidentified teen made the allegations,  police conducted a controlled call between the teacher and teenager to confirm that the pair had sexual relations.

Port St. Lucie public schools released a statement on the matter:

“St. Lucie Public Schools is aware that an employee has been arrested amid allegations of inappropriate conduct with a student. This individual is non-reappointed for the coming school year and has been placed on temporary duty assignment away from students while the investigation continues.

Allegations of this sort are a serious breach of ethics. Such behavior is inexcusable and is of great concern to the School District as it is contrary to the mission of providing a safe and caring teaching and learning environment,” the statement read.

Geliga’s Facebook page, which has since been deleted, says she is from Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina. Furthermore, before living in Port St. Lucie, her Facebook said she previously lived in West Melbourne, Florida, and in San Antonio, Texas.

Danielle Bregoli Of ‘Cash Me Outside’ Fame Is Going On A National Tour

Danielle Bregoli’s Instagram

After getting into fights on airplanes, starring in music videos, taking beatings in street fights, and roasting David Spade on Instagram, the next logical step to keep your viral fame going is obviously with a national tour. So that’s exactly what’s on tap for Danielle Bregoli of “Cash Me Outside” fame.

Now here’s the part where you may be wondering, “But Toby, don’t you need an actual talent to go on tour?” That is where you are wrong, my naive friend. It’s 2017, which means that you can make absurd amounts of money for doing absolutely nothing of substance. What a time to be alive!

Via TMZ, here are all of the details on the 14-year-old troublemaker’s upcoming national tour.

Sources close to Danielle tell us she’ll be hittin’ the road, and stands to make up to $50k per show if they sell out. So far, we’re told her team has 2 big city venues locked down. We know what you’re thinking — what’s a freakin’ “Cash Me Outside” stage act look like?

We’re told she’s planning a 3-part act:

– Danielle lip syncing and rapping to her fave songs, plus established acts making cameos.
– Live Q&A with the audience, which seems risky considering how defensive she can get.
– Invite audience members onstage to joke around. Translation: Get ready to be roasted by a 14-year-old.

The fact that she’s going to make more money off of one goddamn show then I’ll make in an entire year is a bummer of epic proportions. I’m not even mad at Danielle either, as you have to respect her hustle. The people that are catching my fury are the dumb f*cks that are going to buy tickets to see her. Anybody who shells out money to see this charade deserves to get deported to Antarctica. Danielle’s already had a great run, so please don’t encourage this nonsense any longer.

Everything You Need To Know About ‘The Keepers’, Your Latest Netflix Obsession

A true crime documentary series is hitting Netflix tonight. This seven-episode series will explore the unsolved murder of Sister Cathy Cesnik. She was a nun and a teacher, who taught English and Drama at Western High School in Baltimore, Maryland. Once Cesnik spoke out against the school’s sinister sex scandal, her body was discovered near a garbage dump. Coincidence?

“The Keepers” will dive right into the unsolved crime of a murder that seems connected to the school’s dark past. Sister Cathy spoke out and ended up dead. Could it be connected?

Two priests from Archbishop Keough High School were accused of committing sinister acts to the young girls of Archbishop Keough High School. These crimes include sexual molestation, harassment, rape and trafficking school girls to sex-hungry policemen. Jean Wehner is just one of the victims of this dark story. She says that Sister Cathy approached her and send gently, “Are the priests hurting you?”

The surviving victims Teresa Lancaster and Jean Wehner said that Sister Cathy was the only person who tried to help them. One priest is identified as Father Joseph Maskell Cathy even went to the Archdiocese of Baltimore to discuss the shocking revelations she discovered at the Archbishop Keough High School. She disappeared on November 7, 1969.

Sister Cathy’s body was found on January 3, 1970 by a garbage dump in Lansdowne, Maryland. She was only 26 years old.

Father Maskell trafficked those girls to rapacious policemen?

According to victim Teresa Lancaster, Father Maskell had devious accomplices in the local police department. She reports that Father Maskell took her to a wooded area, where he handed her over to policemen who preyed upon her young body.

“Father Maskell picked me up, took me to a wooded area where there was a lot of policemen gathered around, he left me in the backseat and two policemen abused me while Maskell stood next to the car,” she told WJZ’s Denise Koch.

“Denise: “Two police officers raped you?”

Teresa: “Yes they did. Before I knew it there was a big man on top of me and then I thought that would be it and another policeman came in and I could hear Maskell in the distance talking and laughing.”

Denise: “How did they get away with this?”

Teresa: “Power and fear. Maskell was a police chaplain and he knew people in high places—that’s how they got away with it. They scared the living hell out of us.”

In 1995, Teresa Lancaster and Jean Wehner tried to sue their school for the sexual abuse inflicted upon them by Father Joseph Maskell and another priest. These priests have been accused of committing numerous sexual offenses against female student of Archbishop Keough High School. Their case was dismissed because it passed the Statute Of Limitations.

Tom Hardy To Star In Spider-Man Spinoff ‘Venom’

Comic book lovers are pumped, as it’s just been reported that Tom Hardy will play the titular role in the upcoming film Venom. The movie is a Spider-Man spinoff centered around one of the most badass villains in the Marvel universe.

From the Hollywood Reporter, here are more details on Venom.

Venom has been one of Marvel’s top villains and a Spider-Man fixture since he was introduced in 1988, created by writer David Michelinie and artists Todd McFarlane and Mike Zeck. The character is an alien symbiote that needs a human host to survive. In return, the alien vests its victim with incredible powers. He made his first big-screen appearance in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 and was portrayed by Topher Grace.

Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner, the latter of whom worked on 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2, wrote the script for Venom. Plot details are being kept in the black but Hardy, who is said to be a Venom fan, will play Eddie Brock, the character who first became Venom.

Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are producing along with Amy Pascal.

Sony isn’t messing around these days, as Spider-Man: Homecoming will hit theaters on July 7, 2017 and Venom is scheduled to be released on October 5, 2018. Ruben Fleischer has been selected to direct Venom, which seems like a bit of a risk. He’s directed three movies up to this point in career, and while Zombieland was awesome, 30 Minutes or Less and Gangster Squad weren’t well-received by critics.

It’s hard to make a bad movie when you’ve got Tom Hardy as your star, though. We all remember what happened the first time he played a comic book villain.


Kylie Jenner Dead Conspiracy: Full Story & Must-See Details

via @kyliejenner Instagram

Kylie Jenner is one of the most famous celebrities in the world. Thanks to decade-long tenure on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, savvy social media presence and her bundle of product lines, Jenner is always front and center of the pop culture world.

As we know though, with great fame comes a deluge of outlandish speculation, and this latest conspiracy theory involving Jenner is one of the most bizarre yet. Reminiscent of The Beatles’ “Paul Is Dead” claim, this new theory claims that the real Kylie Jenner is no longer alive and has in fact been replaced by a body double.


Twitter

The conspiracy first gained traction on May 14 when Twitter user @_w0rmboy posted a side-by-side photo comparison of Jenner five years ago and Jenner in 2016. Admittedly, this tweet came in while humorous conspiracy theories were trending on Twitter, so it was likely made in jest. However, the difference in appearance is pretty striking.


Plastic Surgery?

The commonly held belief is that Jenner – along with many of her sisters- underwent extensive plastic surgery. Us Weekly ran an entire piece about Kylie’s radical physical changes from 2007 (when KUWTK first aired) to 2016.

Countless articles and online lists have been published that compare her before and “after” photos, which closely examine the changes in her hips, her eyes, her backside, her jaw, and most notably, her lips.


15,000 Likes

As of this writing, the original tweet has generated more than 15,000 likes. Response to the “theory” have fallen all across the spectrum, with some supporting the wild claim and others bashing it. Check out some of the Twitter reactions.


Previous Death Hoaxes

This isn’t the first time rumors about Jenner’s supposed demise have cropped up. Less than a week ago, a Facebook page titled “R.I.P. Kylie Jenner” wound up with almost one million likes. The About section gave an authentic-sounding account of her alleged passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Wednesday (May 17, 2017), our beloved model Kylie Jenner passed away. Kylie Jenner was born on August 10, 1997 in Calabasas. She will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”

The page drew so much activity that on May 18, Jenner’s reps issued a statement to clear up any confusion: “She joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. She’s still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the internet.”


Other Celebrities

Around the same time of the Jenner conspiracy, another celebrity theory made the rounds on the Internet.

This one claimed that pop singer Avril Lavigne died in 2004 and had been replaced by an actress Melissa Vandella. The website “Avril Is Dead” first purported the theory.

Many grunge rock fans were saddened to hear the news of Chris Cornell’s death. He was the highly popular lead singer of Soundgarden and Audioslave. Cornell represented a rebellious generation of grunge rock in the early to mid ’90s. He was one of the architects of this grunge movement that lives on in the minds of millions.

Cornell’s career spawned three decades. He began his career in 1984, and played all the way up to the very night of his death on May 17th, 2017. He was a father, a singer, and a rock-n-roll icon. Let’s see how much money he’s left behind…

Chris Cornell’s Net Worth as of 2017: $60 Million

Chris has earned a whole lot of moolah during his life as a grunge rock superstar. His death has left an empty hole in the hearts of many fans. Whoever receives this inheritance can live smoothy, at least financially. Cornell inspired fans for decades with hits like “Black Hole Sun” and “Spoonman”. He was named by the readers of Guitar World as “Rock’s Greatest Singer.” There was only one Chris Cornell, and now the world has lost yet another musical treasure. But let’s not dwell on the death. Let’s celebrate the life of Chris Cornell.


1984 – 1994

In the early 1980s, Chris Cornell was the drummer and lead singer of a band called “The Shemps” with bassist Hiro Yamamoto. This band eventually dissolved, and in 1984, Soundgarden was formed. In 1987, this up-and-coming alternative metal group was signed onto Sub Pop, where they released the Screaming Life EP and Fopp EP.

In 1989, Soundgarden became the first grunge band to sign onto a major record, when they singed with A&M Records. They released the album Louder Than Love.

Soundgarden exploded in the early ’90s, standing alongside Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam and Nirvana as one of the most successful bands in the entire Seattle grunge rock movement. Their third studio album Badmotorfinger has sold 1.5 million copies since its release in on October 8th, 1991. This album was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 1992 Grammy Awards.


1994 – 1998

Soundgarden’s fourth studio album Superunknown really put this Seattle band into the limelight. This grunge rock record debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 in March 1994. This hit album was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 1995 Grammy Awards. Since its release over two decades ago, Superunknown has sold 10 million copies worldwide, and it has been certified five times platinum. This record contained such hit songs as “Black Hole Sun,” and “Spoonman,” each earning Cornell a Grammy Award in 1995, for Best Metal Performance and Best Hard Rock Performance. The song “Black Hole Sun” was ranked #25 on VH1’s list of the 100 greatest songs of the ’90s.

In 1996, Soundgarden strayed away from their grunge roots with their sixth studio album Down on the Upside. The album received great reviews, but it didn’t receive nearly as much sales or attention as Superunknown. The album’s lead single “Pretty Noose” was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 1997 Grammy Awards. Soon after, Soundgarden disbanded and didn’t get back together for over a decade. In a 1998 interview with Guitar World, Guitarist Thayill Kim said that, “It was pretty obvious from everybody’s general attitude over the course of the previous half-year that there was some dissatisfaction.”


1998 – 2007

After Soundgarden broke up, Cornell went off on his own as a solo artist. In 1999, he released his first solo album Euphoria Morning which turned out to be commercially unsuccessful, but it still earned Cornell a Grammy nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.

In 2001, Cornell formed the super-group known as Audioslave. After Zack de la Rocha left the band Rage Against The Machine, the remaining three members teamed up with Cornell to form a new hard rock super-group. Their self-titled debut album hit stores in November 2002 and has reached three-platinum status in the United States. This album has also earned the group a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance.

Audioslave dropped their second studio album Out of Exile in May 2005, as he debuted with the number spot of Billboard 200. The single “Don’t Remind Me” was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 48th annual Grammy Awards. Cornell said this album contained the most personal songs he had ever wrote. That year, Audioslave become the first American rock group to perform at a concert in Havana, Cuba. This concert attracted 70 thousand people. Cornell said, “Hopefully, this concert will help to open the musical borders between our two countries.” The 26-song set concert was the longest the band had ever played.

Revelations is Audioslave’s fourth studio album, which was released worldwide on September 4th, 2006. This album topped the rock charts in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. In 2007, Audioslave disbanded. But the group got back together, one night only, for Prophets of Rage’s Anti-Inaugural Ball, which protested Donald Trump’s inauguration for President of the United States.


2007 – Present

After Audioslave broke up, Cornell went back to his solo career. On June 5, 2007, the star released his second solo album, entitled Carry On. Cornell then spent the next few years supporting bands like Linkin Park and Aerosmith on tour. Cornell has also worked as the producer for Timbaland’s third studio album Scream.

In November 2011, Cornell released an acoustic live album called Songbook, which debuted at number 69 on the Billboard 200. He sang classic songs like “Black Hole Sun,” “Fell On Black Days,” and even did a cover of John Lennon’s “Imagine.” Cornell released his final solo studio album Higher Truth on September 18, 2015.

Soundgarden reunited on January 1, 2010. They headlined Lollapalooza 2010 and performed on the second episode of TBS’ Conan comedy talk show. Their sixth and final studio album King Animal was released in November 2012 and received very positive reviews. The group remained active up until Cornell’s death on May 17, 2017.

Grunge rock icon Chris Cornell passed away Wednesday night at the age of 52. But hours before he died, Soundgarden performed at the Fox Theatre in Detroit. Many videos have popped up on YouTube, showing the world Chris Conrell’s very last live performance.


Soundgarden should be displayed on the Mount Rushmore of the ’90s grunge culture. Hopefully, an artist out there will read this article and create their own Grunge Rushmore.

Cornell has provided many great songs and moments to the world of music. It’s a shame that he’s left this Earth. But we are all blessed with the wonderful works that he’s left behind. He was the lead singer of Soundgarden and Audioslave, who had been a living embodiment of American rock music since the early 1980s, in one way or another.


The very last song Chris Cornell will ever sing is “Slaves and Bulldozers” from the 1991 album Badmotorfinger. Soundgarden performed this song at the Fox Theatre on May 17th, 2017. Shortly afterwards, Cornell passed away.

Rest in peace, Chris Cornell. You left us with a treasure trove of nostalgic, timeless wonder.

Robert Mueller Quotes: Best Quotes &; Most-Famous Sayings

Win McNamee/Getty Images


The Department of Justice has assigned Robert Mueller with the task of serving as special counsel involving the investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 Presidential Election. As a result, Mueller has become a yuge trending topic in the media. Politicians and citizens alike have been speculating on how Mueller might handle this case.

Mueller previously served as FBI Director from September 4, 2001 to September 4, 2013.

Will he find any Trump-Russia collision? All things are possible, but for the moment, everything is speculation. The investigation needs to go through and then the people will have the facts they need!


The La Times calls Mueller “incorruptible,” while CNN says “Mueller is like Comey, but on steroids.” But let’s get a feel on his character, not by way of media opinion filtration, but by the words of Mr. Mueller himself. Let’s take a look at Robert Mueller’s so-called words of wisdom.

I’ll get that obligatory Ferris Bueller’s Day Off joke to cap off this occasion. You know Bueller, Mueller. Oh no, I ruined the joke before it even began. I’ll shut up now and allow you to read some of the things Robert Mueller has said in the past.

Robert Mueller Quotes: Best Quotes & Most-Famous Sayings

“I asked a Burmese why women, after centuries of following their men, now walk ahead. He said there were many unexploded land mines since the war.”


“There’ll be differences of opinion in just about every intelligence analysis that you make.”


“In the context of September 11, there were so many that lost their lives that – how do you single out one person? There were so many acts of heroism that day from so many people, whether it be firemen and police officers in New York and our agents also.”


“And at that point, I think we all realized it was something tremendously tragic, probably a terrorist attack, and the next step was to go down to our command center and get things going.”


“Leaking of classified material is a concern.”


“What we bring to the table is not only our 56 field offices in the United States and our number of resident agencies, but also we have 45 legal attaches overseas.”


“So there is a foreign intelligence purpose for every one of our FISA warrants.”


“We cannot go up on a wire. We cannot do a search without a judge on the FISA Court approving it and determining that we have met the standard that has been set forth by Congress in order to utilize these techniques.”


“And so every one of us in the FBI, I don’t care if it’s a file clerk someplace or an agent there or a computer specialist, understands that our main mission is to protect the public from another September 11, another terrorist attack.”


“In planning an attack, people have various roles.”


“The collapse of Enron was devastating to tens of thousands of people and shook the public’s confidence in corporate America.”


“If you look at the 19 hijackers who came to the United States in Sept. 11 to commit those acts, if you’d looked at them before they got onto a plane, you could probably say the same thing. There were various levels of expertise, various levels of competence.”


“I didn’t know the organization, but the one thing you can say about the FBI, it’s tremendously professional.”


“But we had – I think if you look at law enforcement 10 years ago, if you look at the challenges, the FBI was focused excessively on what was happening in the United States.”


“In order to be successful against each of these threats, we have to have a presence overseas, work closely not only with our counterparts in the law enforcement community, but also with the intelligence community.”


“People talk about the Patriot Act that was passed immediately in the wake of September 11. What the Patriot Act did was break down the walls between the various agencies.”


“So without getting into the specifics, I can tell you that to the extent that investigation is a relatively important investigation and meaningful, the president would have been periodically briefed.”


“I think around the world, our agents are the best collectors of information you’ll find.”


“Secondly, not only have we put additional agents on counterterrorism, but we’ve also built up our analytical structure so that we’re better positioned to analyze the information we have.”


“But since September 11, we have made every effort to try to work closely with state and local law enforcement.”


“All I’m going to tell you is investigations, whether it be this and others, where you have partial facts, analysts, agents are always trying to interpret what those facts mean, extrapolate from them what they mean.”

WATCH: Anderson Cooper Talks About Donald Trump’s Actual Sh*t, But At Least He Tweets An Apology

Unless you’ve been living under a rock this past year, you’ve probably noticed that Donald Trump and the “liberal media” particularly CNN has been verbally jousting non-stop. Well, last night Anderson Cooper gave a whole new meaning of shit talking about the president.

On CNN’s AC360, there was more “intellectual debating” going on regarding more Trump-Russia mumbo-jumbo. And after political commentator Jeffrey Lord finished his point, our host Anderson Cooper very eloquently responded by saying,  “If he (Trump) took a dump on his desk, you would defend it. I don’t know what he would do that you would not defend.”

Yikes! I mean, way to stay professional as a representative of one of the top media agencies in the world.

By the way, what’s the deal with the news/entertainment media and Trump? It’s like they’re that girl in middle school who always bothers you every day and then finally you find out it’s because she has a crush on you. Are they secretly in-love with Donald Trump? Is he such a yuge source of ratings/revenue that almost no one in the media will ever shut the f**k up about him? It has been 24/7 Trump coverage ever since the day he stepped off that escalator and announced his presidency, and yet, they’re shocked he’s now President of the United States? You gotta be kidding me, folks!

But back to the “professional objective newscaster.” Anderson Cooper later apologized for his on-air statements, which may have been a bit crude for someone not on a prime-time cartoon sitcom.

Cooper later sent out a Tweet apologizing once more for his “crude” on-air behavior. “I regret the crude sentence I spoke earlier tonight and followed it up by apologizing on air,” the CNN host tweeted. “It was unprofessional. I am genuinely sorry.”

Hopefully, Anderson Pooper isn’t full of sh*t. Now, get back to your rumor mill, buddy!

President Donald Trump has just touchdown in Saudi Arabia, and the response to his arrival is absolutely yuge! The Saudi regime had a strained relationship with the former President Barrack Obama in regards to the Iran nuclear deal (the Saudi’s rivals in the region). This Arabian kingdom hopes to foster a mutually-beneficial relationship with the United States. So, they look to provide The Donald with more respect than he’d ever receive back in the states.

There’s nonstop hand-shakes, smiles, and even bag-pipes play in the background. Trump does have Scottish heritage after-all (I do too). From his airplane to the the Royal Court in Riyadh, Trump is celebrated like a king from a friendly foreign land. Horses follow Trump’s limousine on his way to the Royal Court to greet King Salman. Trumpets sound in the background as President Trump exits his vehicle.

“Very happy to see you,” the king said.

“It’s a great honor,” Mr. Trump replied, before Saudi girls approach the president, offering a bouquet of flowers.

King Salman placed a gold medal around the neck of American’s very own orange ham-of-state. This is the highest civilian honor in the kingdom, and should not be taken lightly.


Enes Kanter From The NBA Is Detained At Romanian Airport, And He Thinks Turkey Is The Reason

Oklahoma City Thunder’s Enes Kanter finds himself jammed up in Romania. He casts the blame on Turkey for putting him in this pickle (and no, I don’t mean a Reuben sandwich). His passport was revoked and he has been detained by airport police. Kanter has been outspoken against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s regime and believes what is currently happening to him is politically-motivated.

Kanter responded to the situation on his Twitter page. He released a video, stating that the reason why he is being detained with his passport revoked is simply because of his political views. He calls Turkish President Erdogan “the Hitler of our century.”

If this Oklahoma City Thunder center is deported back to Turkey then he’ll likely face arrest. Here is the video of Kanter venting about the ordeal on Twitter:

Here is Ernes Kanters exact words:

“What’s up, world? Just wanted to say we are in Romania, and they said they canceled my passport by Turkish embassy. You know, they been holding us here for hours by these two police. [Kanter rotates his camera towards the officers]

You know, because the reason behind it is just of course my political views, and the guy who did it is, you know, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey … he’s attacked people in Washington. He’s a bad, bad man. He’s a dictator, and he’s the Hitler of our century. So I will keep you posted, guys, but just pray for us, and I’ll tell you guys what’s going on. Appreciate it.”

Supporters of Kanter took to Twitter to voice their support and concern for the detained athlete and possible political prisoner.

Kanter’s family, back in Turkey, won’t be showing the same type of support to their estranged relative. He is currently disowned by his family, according to an article in The Daily Oklahoman:

In August of 2016, Kanter was disowned by his family, which still lives in Turkey. The Daily Sabah, cited as a “supportive voice” of Erdogan’s party, quoted Kanter’s father, Mehmet, as saying he disowned his son for his affiliation with the Gulen Movement. Fethullah Gulen is an Islamic leader who has been in exile in Pennsylvania for more than 15 years who is in direct opposition to Erdogan and his reign over Turkey. Erdogan’s regime blamed Gulen for an attempted coup on the Turkish government in July 2016.

Imagine being disowned by family for supporting a different political group. Oh, wait…

Salem State University Twitter Hacked, Wildly Racist Posts Published & Deleted

0

Someone apparently hacked Salem State University’s Twitter page and littered the account with numerous controversial and racist comments. This Massachusetts college is currently investigating the matter, and they have already apologized for the incident, despite saying that these posts were written by an unknown hacker.

Campus police said that this university’s Twitter account was hacked on Friday. These Tweets conveyed disparaging remarks against immigrants, the Black Lives Matter movement, and racist language directed at former President Barrack Obama. However, the account did speak positively about current US President Donald J. Trump.

Every last controversial Tweet was deleted early Saturday morning. But a screenshot was recovered. Here’s a look at just how racist and offensive this hacker/troll really is…

Salem State University Twitter Hacked: Racist Hack Posts

Twitter

Well, just how offensive was this hacker? “Trump has done nothing but great things for our country during his presidency and will fix all the wrong that (N-word) president did,” one tweet said. Yikes!

Another tweet attacked immigrant communities. The hacker wrote, “Our education revolves around white working americans, we don’t need you immigrant thieves in our school we are better than this.”

Then the hacker went on the attack against the BLM movement. This guy is relentlessly racist. “All that black lives matter sh*t is unneeded and unnecessary in our community.”

Officials at Salem State University erased those posts as fast as they could. By Midnight, all those messages were deleted from their Twitter page, but unfortunately the internet still has them. The school sent out a statement condemning the hack and apologizing for the messages published on their Twitter account.

“We are appalled by the hateful nature of these tweets, which in no way represent the views of Salem State University. We have notified our social media followers of this compromise and are working with IT to implement additional security safeguards,” the school said in a Saturday statement. “It is incredibly unfortunate that such a hateful incident occurred on the eve of our commencement, and we hope to move forward as a community and not let it detract attention from the incredible accomplishments of more than 1,400 students graduating today.”

The school’s commencement is set for today. But right before that special day, one racist hacker/troll had to share some bullsh*t.


WATCH: Donald Trump Bust A Move With The Saudi Arabian Sword Dancers

0

Looking for Donald Trump to bust a move on the dance floor? Well, this is the closest that you’re gonna get. Earlier today, The Donald was welcomed with a sword dance at the Saudi Palace.

At about the 30 second mark, President Trump grabs a sword and starts shuffling along, trying to mimic the dance the best way he could. All the while, we hear a ritualistic chant from the rest of the sword dancers. Trump has a yuge grin on his face, let me tell ya.

Trump and his wife Melania arrived in Saudi Arabia early today, and yep, he did receive a freakin’ gold medal for King Salman. The Donald was welcomed to the kingdom with a hero’s welcome, as he received a horse and police-escort and bag-pipes played upon his arrival at the Saudi Palace to meet the king.


That’s enough talking from me. See the video of The Donald putting his Dance Dance Revolution skills to the test:

By the way, Donald Trump is “sword dancing.” There’s so many different directions I can go with this one. And oh, I almost forgot to mention that Trump signed a $110 billion dollar arms deal with Saudi Arabia. That’s some yuge news, folks!

WWE Backlash will feature eight intense match-ups, including “The Viper” Randy Orton battling “The Maharaja” Jinder Mahal for the WWE World Championship in the main event. Stars will be made and dreams may become reality this Sunday night.

“The Phenomenal” AJ Styles will also be in action, as he challenges Kevin Owens for the WWE United States Championship. The SmackDown Tag Team titles are also on the line, as Breezango battle The Usos for those fashionable blue straps. “The Underdog of the Underground” Sami Zayn made a big splash on his way to SmackDown Live, but Baron Corbin may just squash this dog before he ever accomplishes anything on the blue brand.


We also get to see a six-women’s tag team match pitting the team of Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch and WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi against the tandem of Tamina Snuka, Natalya, and “The Princess of Staten Island” Carmella. Oh, and you can bet “The Chinless Wonder” James Ellsworth will get involved somehow.

We also have the privilege to see the WWE pay per view debut of Shinsuke Nakamura as he battles “The Showoff” Dolph Ziggler. Backlash will give you over three hours of action, from pre-show to the main event. But before you watch this show, you should look into my professional wrestling crystal ball & you might just see into the future!

Kickoff Match: Tye Dillinger vs. Aiden English

WWE Backlash 2017: Predictions, Analysis & Full Preview

WWE.com

Aiden English will start off this match in song, but “The Perfect 10” Tye Dillinger will get the crowd hyped. English will show a true vicious streak in this contest. But Tye will show the speed, endurance and athleticism. “The Shakespearean” Aiden will most likely resort to some type of trickery in attempt at victory.

But this Perfect 10 will be too much to put down for the 3 count. After the match, I see English losing his sh*t. Aiden may just become violent and spoil Tye’s first pay per view win.

Dolph Ziggler vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

WWE Backlash 2017: Predictions, Analysis & Full Preview

Shinsuke is looking to prove himself in his WWE debut. Dolph Ziggler will bring the fight to “The King of Strong Style.” He may even humble Nakamura in his debut match and win this match because The Showoff is just “that damn good.” But I don’t think that WWE officials are too invested in Nakamura to let him lose right off the back. Shinsuke has WWE Champion written all over him. He has the charisma, the crowd reaction and a unique wrestling ability that only he can bring to the squared circle.

Ziggler will fight hard and I’m sure Shinsuke can certainly recover from a loss to The Showoff, but I just don’t see Nakamura losing on Sunday.

Prediction: Shinsuke Nakamura defeats Dolph Ziggler


Sami Zayn vs. Baron Corbin

Sami will fight with every ounce of energy in his heart. But Corbin is an absolute beast and I’m sure he’s going to mop the floor with Sami for much of this match. Corbin is strong in body, but Zayn has got possibly the biggest heart in the business. He’ll give Corbin everything and more on Sunday.

I can see the closing moments of this match right now. Baron Corbin about to put away Sami, but then “The Underdog of the Underground” quickly rolls up “The Lone Wolf.” And we have an upset victory in favor of Sami. Later, I see these two men feuding all the way to the Money in the Bank match and beyond.

Prediction: Sami Zayn defeats Baron Corbin


WWE United States Championship match: Kevin Owens (c) vs. AJ Styles

http://coed.com/2017/05/09/wwe-smackdown-results-winners-spoilers-live-updates-highlights-wrestling-videos-photos-050917/

WWE.com

Can the WWE keep playing hot potato with the WWE United States Championship? I mean, Kevin Owens just got the thing.

I see a very competitive match-up between KO and Styles. Expect a lot of back-and-forth action between both star competitors. AJ will probably have KO, but I see the French-Canadian U.S Champion pulling off something extremely sneaky and underhanded to pull off this victory.

AJ and KO’s feud will most likely be dragged out until the Summer.

Prediction: Kevin Owens defeats AJ Styles to retain the WWE United States Championship


WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship match: The Usos (c) vs. Breezango

WWE Backlash 2017: Predictions, Analysis & Full Preview

WWE.com

Now is the time for Breezango to shine. The Usos are the veteran team, but the duo of Tyler Breeze and Fandango are turning heads as Tuesday night’s Fashion Po Po. Breezango is looking to put down those “Ugos” and finally claim those fabulous blue leather belts with that marvelous silver center.

The Usos will look primed for victory, but somehow, someway, Breezango will walk out of Rosemont with those championships pinned around their waists.

Breezango defeats The Usos to win the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship


 Luke Harper vs. Erick Rowan

WWE Backlash 2017: Predictions, Analysis & Full Preview

WWE.com

All hell is sure to break loose when two former Wyatt Family brethren collide! The last time that these two men stepped into the ring, Erick Rowan walked out victorious. I don’t think Rowan will be so lucky this time. I see the action spilling out at ringside. I predict steel steps will become apart of this contest somehow.

But in the end, I see Harper making up for his May 9th SmackDown loss against Erick Rowan.

Luke Harper defeats Erick Rowan


Six-Women Tag Team Match: Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, & WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi vs. Carmella, Natalya, & Tamina Snuka w/James Ellsworth

http://coed.com/2017/05/09/wwe-smackdown-results-winners-spoilers-live-updates-highlights-wrestling-videos-photos-050917/

FlashCraze/YouTube

The reigning champion Naomi says she plans on snatching all her opponents bald on Sunday night. And she’ll kick James Ellsworth’s skinny little ass if he decides to get involved again like he’s accustomed to do. Charlotte Flair is sure to dominate like she usually does. And Becky Lynch will be straight fire like always.

But the bad girls need to make their mark. They need to stand out and be taken seriously as stars. The team of Lynch, Naomi, and Charlotte can afford a loss. But Carmella, Tamina, and Natalya need this victory to solidify themselves as a true force on the blue brand.

Carmella, Natalya, & Tamina Snuka defeats Becky Lynch, Naomi, & Charlotte Flair


WWE World Championship match: Randy Orton (c) vs. Jinder Mahal

WWE Backlash 2017: Predictions, Analysis & Full Preview

WWE.com

I went back-and-forth on the outcome of this match more than any other on the Backlash card. Mahal has really proven himself in the past month. He’s went from a fish out of water to a shark swimming in his environment. SmackDown needs new blood in the main event, and they’re looking to turn a solid worker into an absolute superstar.

Mahal’s rise on SmackDown draws me back to 2004 when John “Bradshaw” Layfield came outta nowhere and won the WWE Championship from the legendary Eddie Guerrero. Months before their ascension to the top, Mahal and JBL were nowhere near the main event. Both Mahal and JBL have taken this great opportunity and transformed themselves from the lower cards on house shows to closing the show at a pay per view.

But just like JBL, I don’t see Mahal winning the big one in his first title shot. Though the idea of him grabbing that brass ring is an exciting though. I don’t think he’s ready yet to hold the top gold. I predict that he will win the Money in the Bank ladder match next month and then go onto capture the WWE World Championship during the summer or fall.

Rusev is looking to challenge for the WWE Championship next month, and it’d make more sense if The Bulgarian Brute challenged Orton. Mahal is way too green at this moment.

Randy won’t let his title split from his grasp that easily. I still see The Viper as the reigning WWE Champion for at least a few more months. But I could be wrong…
