Sep 15 2009Obama calls Kanye West a 'jackass'
President Obama reportedly called Kanye West a "jackass" yesterday in reference to his drunken crashing of Taylor Swift's VMAs acceptance speech. The comment was tweeted then removed by ABC News Terry Moran, according to Politico:
Although it wasn't long before Moran removed it, with over a million followers, the tweet quickly bounced around Twitter through various users.
Now, an ABC spokesperson explains to POLITICO what happened:
"In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview. This was done before our editorial process had been completed. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again."
And cue every NASCAR dad's head exploding:
"Man, I hate Obama, but yet I love insulting minorities. My pastor says he's the Antichrist, but again, insulting minorities. Too.. much... nuance... KERBOOM!"
Feb 5 2009Etta James has senior moment, trashes Beyonce, Obama
Etta James had a moment at a Seattle concert last week where she trashed Beyonce for singing a rendition of "At Last" at President Barack Obama's inauguration. Which is odd considering Beyonce recently played Etta in the film Cadillac Records, and the two had a ball at the premiere (above.) NY Daily News reports:
"I tell you that woman he had singing for him, singing my song, she gonna get her ass whupped," James told an audience at the Paramount Theatre, sarcastically calling her "The great Beyoncé."
James didn't finish there.
"I can't stand Beyoncé," she spit out on an audio clip posted on Allhiphop.com, adding that Beyoncé "had no business ... singing my song that I been singing forever."
Obviously still perturbed, Etta then insulted Obama even though she initially loved Beyonce's inauguration performance. But, hey, old people: They're adorable ticking time bombs. Right, Grandpa? Put down the knife:
Two weeks ago, James' son told the Daily News his mom, who has suffered health setbacks after gastric bypass surgery, was moved by the performance.
"You know your President, right? You know the one with the big ears?" she asked the audience. "He ain't my President."
For the record, Etta went on to hate several other things that evening including, but not limited to, women, music, black people and irony.
Audio after the jump.

Feb 2 2009Barack Obama jokes about Jessica Simpson
President Barack Obama was supposed to be featured on the cover of Us Weekly with his family, but found his face covered by Jessica Simpson. In an interview with Matt Lauer, Obama jokes about the incident which proves the entire nation truly is captivated by her expanding ass. Us Magazine reports:
"Yeah, it's a little hurtful," he quipped when Matt Lauer showed him the newest issue of Us Weekly, on stands now, featuring a portrait of his family.
"You got replaced by Jessica Simpson!" added Lauer, who sat down with Obama before the Super Bowl aired Sunday on NBC.
"Who's in a weight battle, apparently. Oh well!" Obama said.
Thank you, President Obama. Your proclamation of "Oh well" will hopefully shut the mouth of every star who heads to their blog screaming "We should be celebrating the president blah blah blah." The guy's cool with it, people! And to cement that fact he should give me a medal. Or a jet. Or a medal that turns into a jet. Yeah, that one.
Video after the jump.
EDIT: Added pics of Jessica performing in West Virginia over the weekend.

Jan 19 2009Heidi & Spencer just sold you out, GOP
During the 2008 Election, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were good little gold-diggers and shilled for Sarah Palin. Well, here's pics of Chins and Douchebeard giving President-elect Obama the love, in case any Republicans out there actually liked them based on their political views. I'm not trying to perpetuate any stereotypes with the following suggestion, but now would be a good time to load your guns. That said, anyone else surprised they're not holding 40s?

Nov 12 2008Obama Girl wants to throw puppies in the President-elect's face (I have no clue.)
Folks, I don't know why someone took pictures of Amber Lee Ettinger aka "Obama Girl" putting a puppy in the President-elect's face yesterday. I don't know why she's dressed like a superhero/stripper. Frankly, I don't even know what day it is. (March?) But what I do know, is this is a woman who loves America - and will be shot on sight by the Secret Service per Michelle Obama's orders. Ain't no Oval Office hoochy-coochy in her White House. Uh uh, girl.
NOTE: For those of you thinking, "Hey, that's not fair and balanced. Where's a post about McCain Girl?" Way ahead of you: here she is from a few weeks ago. Sort of puts the whole election in perspective, doesn't it?

Nov 10 2008P. Diddy is an 8-year-old girl
P. Diddy celebrated his 39th birthday and Barack Obama's presidential victory at Mansion night club in New York Tuesday night. Diddy apparently had a diva moment when he saw the decor and started flipping out on the decorator. Thank God, Jay Z showed up with a pony and chilled everybody out. Okay, that didn't happen. It was a jet made of diamonds. Page Six reports:
"He was given a budget of $7,000 and 12 hours to create an all-white décor, including 1,000 white roses, blow-ups of Diddy and Barack Obama, and $2,000 of white fabric," our spy said. "Diddy declared it dreadful and went into a major hissy fit, screaming, 'Show me the receipts!' and 'Get the money back!' to his assistant. Then he began ripping the fabric off the walls saying he hated it. He berated the poor young decorator to the point that the guy gave back $2,000 of the money he had spent."
Hey, you know what's a good thing to do after ripping up all the roses and taffeta at your birthday party? Get a Pap smear.
