Month: July 2016

America The Beautiful

Last week, I thought the biggest hot mess story would be the drama between Kimye and Taylor Swift. Then, Melania Trump took the stage at the Republican National Convention (RNC) and all hell broke loose…

Let’s get it!

Hot Mess #1: Melania Trump for plagiarizing Michelle Obama’s speech

Melania Trump proudly addressed the American people last Monday night and endorsed her husband as the next POTUS. Unfortunately for Melania, fans of the Obamas were also watching the RNC and quickly realized that her speech sounded very familiar…

Yup, that’s right folks. Melania Trump plagiarized Michelle Obama’s speech and thought she could get away with it…

Seeing as though we live in the age of social media, I’m not sure why anyone would ever plagiarize a high profile speech on national television. Then again, I know that Donald Trump’s campaign plays by its own rules and could care less about getting caught in a plagiarism scandal.

The good news is that Melania’s speech set off a series of amazing tweets.

p.s. Does anyone else think that Melania looked like Lucifer incarnate at the RNC? She’s definitely a beautiful woman, but those brows and eye makeup…

Hot Mess #2: Donald Trump for allowing Ted Cruz to take the stage

Unexpectedly, Ted Cruz became an American “hero” when he denounced Donald Trump’s nomination at the RNC.

When the most punchable face on the planet beats you at your own game (even if it’s for 20 minutes), then you know you have a problem.

Side note: People tweeting that Ted Cruz looked like Mrs. Doubtfire throughout his campaign for the Republican nomination was the best.

Hot Mess #3: Debbie Wasserman and the DNC for just being a mess

If you haven’t heard, the DNC is corrupt. Surpriiiiiiise!

No, but really. Top members of the DNC (cough* cough* Debbie Wasserman) are corrupt and conspired against Bernie Sanders. Leaked DNC Emails

Sigh, when will people learn?

The last thing we need during the rise of Donald Trump is a political scandal that works in his favor…#Amess

Needless to say, I’m currently watching the Democratic National Convention, hoping against anymore hot mess speeches or scandals. So far everything is going smoothly, but it’s only night 1. We have a whole week of possibilities. And, as last week showed, anything can happen. *Ellie Goulding voice*

Yas Kim, Bye Taylor

It’s been two weeks since my last post. With all of the Black Lives Matter protests, hate crimes, and terrorism going on, I really didn’t feel like it was appropriate to blog about celebrities. I also didn’t want this blog to become a political nightmare filled with my frustrations, so alas, I waited. I waited for the perfect inspiration, and now I have it.

Let’s get it!

Hot Mess #1: Taylor Swift for being a fraud

Last night, I watched the latest episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Per usual, it was reality trash at its finest.

A large theme throughout the show was how the media vilified Kanye West after the release of his song “Famous” and its music video. In the song, Kanye says “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. Why? I made that bitch famous,”  referencing the 2009 Taylor Swift drama at the VMAs.

After the song’s release, Taylor acted ultra offended by both the lyrics and video. Luckily, we have Kim Kardashian to set the story straight. Kim stood by her man, claiming that she had recorded evidence that proved Taylor was actually aware of the song all along.

Sadly, I went straight to bed right after Keeping Up and missed the gloriousness that was Kim K.’s Snapchat. Apparently, Kim snapped several clips of Kanye talking to Taylor Swift about his song and ultimately getting her approval….Smdh

According to TMZ, Taylor is now considering taking legal action against Kimye for the leaked video (it’s illegal to record someone in the state of California without their permission). Personally, I hope Taylor doesn’t take legal action. Legal action won’t solve anything, just make her look even worse…

Hot Mess #2: Tom Hiddleston for dating Taylor Swift

Let me just say that I LOVE Tom Hiddleston, but I feel like he’s depreciating in value the longer he dates Swift. Before, he was this tall, mysterious Brit. Now, he’s just another one of Taylor’s boy toys…

I’m not sure if he’s being considered for the new James Bond role or not, but if he is, he should bail on Taylor’s messiness soon. He can also burn that t-shirt from July 4th. #gross

Hot Mess #3: Wendy Williams for her comments about HBCUs

Last week, Wendy Williams received major backlash when she denounced historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and the NAACP on her daytime talkshow. Like, who does that?

Anyways…Due to her comments, Wendy lost Chevrolet as a major sponsor and had to invite TV One journalist, Roland Martin, to her show for some serious damage control.

I love Wendy for her big mouth and sometimes childish viewpoints, but hopefully she has learned to be a little smarter.

Stick to stories about Kimye, Wendy. Leave racial issues to the real journalists…

Hot Mess #4: Stephen Colbert for hijacking the podium at the RNC

There’s no question that the funniest story today is the Kimye vs. Taylor Swift feud, but Stephen Colbert also provided some much needed entertainment when he crashed the Republican National Convention. Dressed in a Hunger Games inspired costume, Colbert announced, “[Donald Trump] has formed an alliance with Indiana Governor Mike Pence. It is my honor to hereby launch and begin the 2016 Republican hungry for power games.”

Watch the video here –> Colbert at RNC 

Whether you found Colbert’s joke funny or not, you have to admit that it was pretty ballsy…

 

Honestly, I just want to say that I am so grateful for the messiness this past week. Things have been a little too heavy and I’m glad that we have something funny in the media again. Thank you, Kimye. Thank you.
