Mariah Carey is going viral after her reaction to Muni Long’s tribute to her during the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Monday.

Muni, 36, is a songwriter who wrote hits for other artists before establishing herself as a singer. She is best known for her 2021 hit single “Hrs and Hrs.” The song landed in the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. She won the Best R&B Performance trophy at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards.

However, Mariah’s fans say Muni doesn’t have the vocal prowess to do justice to a Mariah tribute on any stage. Muni gave it her best try, singing Mariah’s hit song, “We Belong Together.”

But a view of the front row showed Mariah with a pained expression on her face as Muni struggled with the lyrics.

One fan wrote on Reddit: “I’m sorry but if you know you can’t sing half as good as Mariah why would you do a tribute to her right in front of her??”

Another fan wrote on X (Twitter): “Come on no one can sing these songs [like] the greats did. Specially not this generation and Mimi didn’t hide that fact.”

Watch Muni’s full performance below.

Actor-comedian Tracy Morgan revealed the cause of his medical emergency during the Knicks vs Heat game at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Videos and images uploaded to X (Twitter) showed Morgan vomiting at courtside during the third quarter on Monday night. He was carted off in a wheelchair while holding a towel to his face.

There was also a report that Morgan suffered a nosebleed.

Morgan, 56, took to Instagram on Tuesday morning to reveal doctors diagnosed him with a case of food poisoning.

Morgan shared an image of himself on a gurney in a hospital emergency room. He wrote: “Thank you for all your concern! I’m doing ok now and doctors say it was food poisoning. Appreciate my MSG family for taking such good care of me and I need to shout out the crew that had to clean that up. Appreciate you!”

He added: “More importantly, the Knicks are now 1-0 when I throw up on the court so maybe I’ll have to break it out again in the playoffs.”

Morgan was diagnosed with diabetes in 1996. He suffered kidney failure and was on a dialysis machine. He eventually received a kidney transplant in 2010. The combination of diabetes and kidney failure caused his weight to balloon.

During an August 2023 appearance on Today with Hoda & Jenna, the actor initially revealed that Ozempic helped him lose weight.

“That’s how this weight got lost,” he explained. “I went and got a prescription, and I got Ozempic.”

Morgan said, in addition to taking Ozempic he also worked out to maintain his lean physique.

“I get up at seven every morning, and I’m in the gym at 10,” he said. “Then I go back to sleep. And that’s my life.”

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon claims he was sexually harassed during his 17 years at the network. Lemon was fired three years ago after he clashed with his female co-hosts and then-presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy in separate incidents.

In an interview on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast, Lemon claims he was sexually harassed by both women and men at CNN.

“I’ve been harassed by women and men in the work,” Lemon told Maher. “There are some things that are really egregious, but not everything is Harvey Weinstein-level.”

He recalled the first incident happened in the cafeteria at CNN’s former headquarters, the CNN Center in Atlanta.

Lemon alleges a “young lady” tweaked his nipples and said, “Oh, it’s cold in here!” Lemon said he told the woman, “OK — you realize if I did that, they’d be walking me out the door right now?” Lemon said that he “didn’t care to go to HR” and “didn’t say anything, because I’m just like, ‘it’s a double standard for you.'”

The second incident took place off company property. “I’ve never told this story as well. Someone who I worked with also harassed me at CNN, and I never went to management,” he explained. “She knew I was gay, and it was just bizarre. She was going through a divorce. It was just weird.”

Lemon said he didn’t go to HR because of the woman’s position of power at the network. He was afraid they would fire him if he complained.

Lemon explained taxis weren’t available at the time when he tried to make his exit.

“Remember, this was a while ago, and there was no Uber or anything like that. if you are in Atlanta, the taxis aren’t available,” he said.

Lemon told Maher that the CNN employee in question was “so mean to me afterward.” He added, as a man he is in a position to say no, which he believes may not always be the case with women.

“I’m an adult, and maybe I think it is different for men and women, depending on the power structure. I think it’s flattering as long as you can send them off easily. As a man, I could say, ‘No, I’m not interested.'”

Lemon also revealed that he was molested as a child, which helped him to cope with harassment as an adult.

“But also someone who was molested as a child is a different thing,” he said. “Because you know how to deal with it, and you know what’s really important or not. And you know, like, who has the power. I figure as a man, I have the power to say, ‘I don’t want to.’ I don’t need to go to HR or ruin your career. I just tell you, ‘I’m not interested in this. You were drunk. We had a couple of drinks or whatever. Let’s let it go.'”

Actor Anthony Mackie sparked debates online when he commented on the death of the American male. Mackie made headlines after his recent appearance on “The Pivot” podcast went viral.

Mackie told The Pivot co-hosts – former NFL stars Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor and Channing Crowder – that he wants his sons to be “humble” like he is.

The Captain America: Brave New World star said his sons will not be living off of his success.

Mackie shares four sons with his ex-wife Sheletta Chapital. They divorced in 2017 after three years of marriage.

“I keep my boys humble. Like my boys have never had a pair of Jordans. My boys don’t do all that internet fly stuff,” Mackie said. “I could be the biggest star in the world. Do not let me catch you being stupid.”

Mackie also revealed that his oldest son, age 15, is the man of the household. He said the older boy will make sure his younger brothers understand the rules.

“My oldest gets it — my 15-year-old. He tells the other ones, he’s like, ‘Yo, don’t make Dad mad.'”

“‘Cause once you get you get one that’s right, he gon’ straighten the other ones out,” Mackie added.

“I’ve always kept my personal life out of the business,” the actor told Esquire in January 2025. “I don’t allow people to photograph my kids. I don’t bring my kids around. I want my kids to be normal.”

Mackie said masculinity is under attack, and the current culture has killed masculinity in American households.

“In the past 20 years, we’ve been living through the death of the American male. They have literally killed masculinity in our homes and our communities for one reason or another,” he said. “But I raised my boys to be young men. And however you feel about that, you feel about that. But my boys will always be respectful, they’ll always say ‘yes sir, yes ma’am. No sir, no ma’am.’ They will always say thank you. They will always open the door for a lady. They will always make sure that their mother is taken care of and provided for. They will always be men. And that’s always since they were 2 years old.”

“American masculinity has always been different,” he said.

Actor-comedian Tracy Morgan vomited at courtside during the NY Knicks vs Miami Heat game at Madison Square Garden on Monday night. The game was delayed 10 minutes in the third quarter while medics tended to Morgan, 56.

There are reports that Morgan also suffered a nose bleed.

Videos and images of Morgan’s health scare went viral late Monday night.

The comedian’s fans sent well wishes in social media posts online.

Nausea and vomiting is one of the unfortunate side effects of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs due to stomach paralysis.

An MSG representative told People Magazine that he hoped the 30 Rock star “feels better soon” and looks forward to “seeing him back courtside.”

Last year, Morgan said he was thankful for Ozempic, the diabetes medicine that is prescribed off-label as a weight-loss drug.

He joked that he gained 40 pounds while on Ozempic.

“I get up at seven every morning, and I’m in the gym at 10,” he said. “Then I go back to sleep. And that’s my life.”

However, Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and other GLP-1 drugs can cause serious side effects.

Ozempic can lead to stomach paralysis that slows the movement of food through the GI tract. It can also cause intestinal blockage, a potentially deadly condition.

Symptoms of stomach paralysis include nausea, vomiting, and a feeling of fullness after eating a small meal.

Stomach paralysis is usually reversible once the medication is stopped.

An Amazon delivery driver is going viral after her unhinged rant was recorded on a doorbell camera.

The video starts with the Amazon driver dropping boxes of water on the home’s front porch. She takes a photo of the delivery before storming off.

Another video shows her returning to the house just to deliver her rant on the doorbell camera while wearing a scarf over her mouth and sunglasses.

“I’ve been waiting on this day to tell you how much I hate this f***ing house!” she said while clenching both fists.

“The waters – all the sh*t that you order, all of the sh*t – I hate it. I hate this house, I hate that you order sh*t, you are the f***ing laziest f***ing house in this whole gd neighborhood!”

She continued: “You’re inconsiderate, you’re bullsh*t! I f***ing hate everything about y’all. I hate it. All you have to do is f***ing order the store for Walmart pickup or central pickup or whatever or put the sh*t in your own truck and go do it your f***ing self!”

Pointing at the camera, she continued: “You are the laziest sons of b*tches ever. And then people bring the sh*t, we break our backs, we break our necks, we break our nails, we break everything to bring you this sh*t. And you’re ungrateful as f*ck! I hope you know that.”

Social media users tagged @Amazon in the posts on X (Twitter), but so far there has been no official response from Amazon to the video.

The video was viewed on 34 million times on X (Twitter).
Some X users said the homeowner could be disabled. But others noted that someone is bringing the boxes inside the house.

Others said the homeowner should show gratitude for the driver’s hard work by leaving snacks and cold drinks on the porch.

MSNBC Host Shocks Panel by Announcing She’s Leaving the Democratic Party: ‘I’m Pi$$ed’

MSNBC host Symone Sanders Townsend shocked her fellow panelists after announcing live on air that she is leaving the Democratic Party.

Sanders Townsend, 35, is a political commentator who hosts MSNBC’s The Weekend. She was a senior adviser to Joe Biden before he won the 2020 election. She was also chief spokesperson and a senior advisor for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Sanders Townsend was a fiercely loyal political strategist for the Democrats.

But now she is fed up with the party that suffered a record low 27% approval rating in the latest NBC News poll.

Her announcement came while blasting Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and fellow Democrats for caving to Republican demands in order to avoid a government shutdown.

“I’m pi**ed,” Sanders Townsend said angrily during The Weekend show. She expressed her outrage over Schumer’s decision to approve the Republican-led spending bill.

Sanders Townsend said there’s nothing Schumer can say to her after he approved the Trump-backed GOP spending bill to avoid a shutdown.

“There’s actually little that the Senate Minority Leader can say, and the 10 Democrats that voted with the Republicans can say, to appease somebody like me. I’m going to change my registration to Independent,” a frustrated Sanders Townsend said.

“There’s not another option for Senate Democrats or House Democrats to effectively push back. This was it. They blew it,” Sanders Townsend added.

President Donald Trump gloated in a post on his Truth Social on Friday: “Congratulations to Chuck Schumer for doing the right thing. It took ‘guts and courage,'” Trump wrote.

Protesters gathered outside Senator Schumer’s house in New York and his office in DC over the weekend. Thousands more flooded the streets in Manhattan.

Sanders Townsend said that the same Democrats who warned about Trump’s danger to democracy now refuse to stand in unity against him.

Jonathan Majors admits strangling ex-girlfriend in another fight a year before his arrest

Actor Jonathan Majors admitted being aggressive and strangling his ex-girlfriend during a 2022 fight.

Jonathan, 35, was arrested on March 25, 2023 and charged with assaulting and strangling his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari.

However, Rolling Stone magazine obtained audio of Jonathan admitting to strangling Grace a year before that incident.

Jonathan’s attorneys claimed Grace lied and that it was she who was the aggressor.

The audio contradicts everything Jonathan and his attorneys said about Grace being the aggressor.

“I’m ashamed, I’ve never gone and… I never wrestled with a woman before, “Jonathan said in the audio tape. “I never aggressed a woman – I aggressed you.”

Jonathan’s ex told him, “You strangled me and tried to push me against the car.”

“Yes, all those things are under ‘aggressed,’ yeah,” said Jonathan.

“Because I said something sarcastically, in your eyes?” Grace asked him.

“Well clearly, it’s more than that,” Majors says.

“Something inside of you,” Grace says.

“Yeah, towards you,” he agrees, before the recording ends.

Jonathan’s fans expressed anger over the timing of the audio’s release on X (Twitter).

One fan wrote: “Notice how the ‘unearthed audio of Jonathan Majors admitting to strangling Grace Jabbari’ suddenly comes out when he’s doing press for Magazine Dreams and trying to move on with his life and not during 2023 when he lost everything.”

Listen to the audio below.

In his new movie, Magazine Dreams, Jonathan plays a socially awkward bodybuilder named Killian Maddox, who is sexually objectified by men. Killian battles his inner demons to gain recognition.

Magazine Dreams was screened at Sundance in January 2023 and acquired by Searchlight Pictures for a release in December 2023. But Disney later pulled the film from its release schedule following Jonathan’s arrest. The movie was returned to its producers following Majors’s conviction.

Briarcliff Entertainment later acquired the domestic distribution rights to the movie. Magazine Dreams is scheduled to be released on March 21, 2025.

Black NC woman loses her home over missed HOA payment (Video)

A North Carolina woman says her Homeowner’s Association sold her 3,300 square foot home for $49,000 after she missed a single HOA payment.

The buyer then flipped the house for $850,000 — and it was all legal.

Taylor Sanders admitted she missed an HOA payment for $400, but Sanders said she never received letters from the HOA.

A lien was placed on her house in 2021. Sanders’ home was sold for only $49,000, but the buyer flipped it for $850,000 just months later, according to WSOC-TV.

Sanders lived in the Weddington Hills subdivision in North Carolina. According to HOA records she owed $400 which increased to $1,200 including late fees.

In April 2021, the HOA claimed it sent her a letter, saying she owed about $1,200 and that it was going to start foreclosure proceedings.

But Sanders said she never received the letter. Sanders was surprised when notified of the sale of her house. “I thought it was a joke,” she said.

“Oh my God. It’s devastating for my children,” she said. “I don’t wish this on anyone.”

But state law is on the HOA’s side. North Carolina law allows HOAs to sell properties due to late HOA fees — even if the fee is much less than the home is worth.

Sanders is speaking out about the injustice. She wants to warn other homeowners so they take any legal threat from their HOA seriously.

“This is just the beginning. I want to make sure I educate other people. I want to make sure they know about it. I want them to know their rights,” she said.

North Carolina legislators are considering a bill to allow HOAs to put a lien on the property and start foreclosure proceedings, but it would have to meet certain criteria before selling the home. WSOC reports there hasn’t been any movement on the bill since last May.
