A Valentine’s Day post by former President Barack Obama has fanned the flames of rumors that the couple is heading to divorce court.

Barack paid tribute to Michelle on Feb. 14, saying she still takes his breath away.

Barack captioned the post: “Thirty-two years together and you still take my breath away. Happy Valentine’s Day, @MichelleObama!”

He shared a photo of himself posing in close proximity to Michelle. But the post stoked fresh divorce rumors because the image looked like it was AI-generated.

The post generated over 19,000 comments — most praised the couple’s marriage for lasting the test of time.

One fan wrote: “Thank you both Obamas for 8 scandal-free years and a lifetime of relationship goals.”

But others were rude, suggesting that Michelle was a man.

One person wrote: “This picture exemplifies what we all have known for years. Joan Rivers called it.”

While another person posted an AI-generated image of Barack and Jennifer Aniston together. Barack and Jennifer are rumored lovers, but she denied the rumors.

Jennifer said she only met Barack once, and that she’s friends with Michelle.

Elon Musk Denies Reports Of $400M Government Contract for Armored Teslas

Tesla CEO Elon Musk denies reports that Tesla is getting $400 million for armored Cybertruck vehicles.

Musk shut down reports that the U.S. State Department awarded Tesla a $400 million contract for armored electric vehicles.

In a post on X, the billionaire said he had no knowledge of such a contract. “No one mentioned it to me, at least,” he wrote, following a public backlash.

Tesla does not currently make armored vehicles.

A reference to “armored Teslas” has been removed from the State Department’s procurement forecast. The original document was created during former President Joe Biden’s term in office.

That original document – drawn up by the Biden administration – noted a budget of hundreds of millions of dollars for armored Teslas over five years starting in 2025.

However, the document was updated to remove the reference to Teslas.

The document was first mentioned by MSNBC host Rachel Maddow in a five-minute segment on Wednesday.

Maddow mocked the Cybertruck as a “paperweight” and mocked the idea as a conflict of interest.

Musk is currently tasked with heading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to find and eliminate wasteful government spending.

Fox Sports Host Says Caitlin Clark ‘Ruined’ NBA All-Star Weekend

The NBA canceled the highly-anticipated three-point shootout between Steph Curry and Sabrina Ionescu after Caitlin Clark declined to participate.

The NBA All-Star Weekend isn’t the TV ratings blockbuster that it once was.

The NBA invited the Indiana Fever superstar to help boost ratings for the upcoming All-Star Weekend. But the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year said no.

Fox Sports Radio host Rob Parker commented on the 23-year-old star guard’s decision to rest and relax during the offseason.

“Caitlin Clark has ruined NBA All-Star Weekend,” Parker shouted. “They invited her to be involved in a shooting contest with Steph and they were going to make this nice and give people something to watch. She is television ratings gold. Everything she’s in, people are watching. That would have been the only reason to watch any of the festivities this weekend.”

Parker was upset that Clark had “the gall and audacity to say no” when the NBA subsidizes her $85,000 a year salary.

“How can she say no when the WNBA wouldn’t even be around if it wasn’t for the NBA? They have subsidized that league forever,” Parker argued. “The least she could have done was do a solid for her brothers in the NBA.”

Parker continued: “She has ruined NBA All-Star weekend for me. I’m not watching one minute because of Caitlin Clark.”

X (Twitter) fans supported Clark’s decision.

One fan wrote: “LOL, Caitlin Clark, who makes $80K, is supposed to save the all star with plenty of guys making $10M +?”

Another person wrote: “Don’t blame her. She’d rather participate in her league. Good for her. I Watch The WNBA cuz of her.”

And a third person commented: “NBA players ruin it themselves. Such pettiness is embarrassing. Smh.”

Comedienne and actress Issa Rae has canceled her sold out event at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC after President Donald Trump named himself as chairman.

“Unfortunately, due to what I believe to be an infringement on the values of an institution that has faithfully celebrated artists of all backgrounds through all mediums, I’ve decided to cancel my appearance at this venue,” Rae wrote on Instagram.

Rae is among Democratic celebrities who resigned from their positions or canceled planned events at the Kennedy Center.

Television producer Shonda Rhimes (Grey’s Anatomy) and musician Ben Folds resigned from their positions as advisors at the Kennedy Center.

Renowned soprano Renée Fleming, who had served as an artistic adviser at large, also resigned.

In early February, President Trump fired Kennedy Center board members appointed by former President Joe Biden. Trump said he terminated them because they “do not share” his vision.

Kennedy Center board members previously approved LGBTQ+ events such as Drag Queen Story Hour for children. LGBTQ+ events in federal buildings are in violation of Trump’s anti-DEI executive order that he signed on his first day in office.

Trump replaced the board members with White House officials, administration insiders and wealthy donors who are loyal to him. On Wednesday, the new board appointed Trump as chairman.

“It is a Great Honor to be Chairman of The Kennedy Center, especially with this amazing Board of Trustees,” Trump said in a statement. “We will make The Kennedy Center a very special and exciting place!”

A representative for Ye West, formerly Kanye West, and Bianca Censori has denied reports that the couple is heading for divorce.

The rep denied reports that Bianca filed for divorce after Ye sold swastika t-shirts online. Multiple media outlets reported the fake news on Thursday – a day after Ye returned to X (Twitter) and deleted his antisemitic tweets.

The spokesperson insisted Ye and Bee are still together and are making plans for Valentine’s Day at their new 20,000 sq. ft. mansion in Beverly Hills.

“Ye and Bianca are in Los Angeles, about to enjoy Valentine’s Day together,” Milo Yiannopoulos told The Hollywood Reporter.

Milo reminded the media that any news of a breakup will come from them directly — not from the tabloid press.

“Announcements about their private life will come from them directly, not unsourced rumor in the tabloid press. Is this the fifth or is it the sixth time the press has wrongly reported that Ye and Bianca are separating? I’ve lost track,” he joked.

The DailyMail.com first reported the fake news on Thursday, insisting Bianca was weary of Ye’s attention-seeking antics.

The Daily Mail claimed they expected “a legal filing to end the marriage in the coming days”.

MEGA

However, Ye’s fans point to Bianca’s own attention-seeking behavior when she appeared nude on the red carpet at the Grammys earlier this month.

TMZ also reported the fake news, saying: “Both sides have reached out to divorce attorneys.” The publication has previously reported fake news only to retract their reports without explanation.

Ohio proposes ‘no nut’ law that bans men from ejaculating without intent to create a child

Ohio lawmakers have proposed a new bill that makes it illegal for men to ejaculate without intent to create a child.

The “Conception Begins at Erection” Act, also known as the “No Nut” law, would impose fines and possible jail time for repeat offenders.

The controversial bill was authored by Democratic House of Representative Anita Somani to regulate a male’s reproductive rights just like women.

“You don’t get pregnant on your own,” Somani said. “If you’re going to penalize someone for an unwanted pregnancy, why not penalize the person who is also responsible for the pregnancy?”

It is illegal in 10 states for women to terminate their pregnancies, even if they are raped.

“If you think it’s absurd to regulate men, then you should think it’s equally absurd to regulate women,” Somani insists.

Violators of the law would be fined up to $10,000 if they “discharge semen without the intent to fertilize.”

There are exceptions to the law, such as when contraceptives are utilized during intercourse.

The proposed law does not apply in cases of masturbation, sperm donation, or intimacy among members of the LGBTQ+ community when the act does not “produce ova.”

Men in Ohio have vowed to leave the state if the law passes.

It isn’t clear how authorities plan to enforce the law.

Big Meech’s “Welcome Back Concert” that was scheduled for tonight, Feb. 13, has been canceled.

The Amerant Arena in Miami announced the cancellation on its X (Twitter) account on Thursday evening.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances tonight’s show has been canceled. Refunds will be made at point of purchase.”

An event organizer confirmed ticket sales didn’t meet expectations. Another insider said ticket sales plummeted due to Big Meech‘s ongoing beef with rap mogul 50 Cent.

50 Cent accused Meech of snitching to get an early release from prison.

The concert lineup featured Lil Baby, Rick Ross, 21 Savage, Sexyy Red, Moneybagg Yo, 42 Dugg, Kodak Black, Est Gee, Tee Grizzley, Boosie, and more.

Big Meech was transferred from a federal prison to a halfway house in Miami in October after serving 16 years of a life sentence for drug trafficking.

Social media users chastised fans for celebrating a drug dealer whose products poisoned the Black community.

See some comments below from a manosphere board:

“This dude ain’t nobody to be celebrated. Southern n1**as stay on some ignorant sh*t.”

“They are really acting like this n1**a did something extraordinary. He sold drugs, got caught and went to prison for a long time.”

“And we wonder why they don’t respect us as a community. This is the bullsh*t that is celebrated. We’re cooked.”

“N1**as out here acting like he was some charitable n1**a before he went to prison. He was a drug dealer that poisoned his own communities.”

“This is why we have issues within our community celebrating one who profited immensely through the destruction of our communities smh.”

“People can change. Yeah he helped ruin lives. But I’m sure he regrets it and he’s matured.”

“Disgusting! Celebrating this murderer and drug dealer.”

“We shouldn’t celebrate people that poison us. Of course they never respected us. Because we don’t respect us either. The only culture on earth that creates art that celebrates murdering each other.”

Beyoncé’s nephew Julez recently opened up about his bond with “baby cousin” Rumi Carter.

Beyoncé’s eldest daughter Blue Ivy, 13, is closer in age to Julez. But the 20-year-old gushes over his “close bond” with 7-year-old cousin, Rumi.

Julez, who is the son of Solange Knowles, described a recent conversation he had with Rumi.

“My baby cousin Rumi, I [saw] her not too long ago, before I went to Paris actually,” Julez said in an interview with Teen Vogue.

“I was packing my bag and she was like, ‘Where are you going?’ I was like, ‘I’m going to Paris.’ She was like, ‘Oh, you’re going to work.'”

“That was my first time where any of my cousins or siblings was like, ‘Okay, yeah, he got a job now. My cousin’s going to work,'” he said. “They’re asking me questions like, ‘You drive now?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m 20 now. I ain’t the same 15-year-old [from] when you were born.'”

Julez said it warms his heart to have younger cousins who look up to him. He’s also cousin to Rumi’s twin brother named Sir Carter.

“It’s been protector mode since everybody was born,” Julez said. “Just trying to be a positive role model as they get older. I think that’s been my main goal.”

“They know their cousin is a model now, so it’s like, all right, that might rub off on one of the kids,” he joked. “I’m really close to my family, so being the oldest is like, I got to set the tone, set the standard for them, make sure I’m in the same direction that I would want them to go.”

Julez is an aspiring model who has walked red carpets from New York to Paris.

Deion Sanders’ middle son, Shilo, was not invited to the NFL Scouting Combine amid rumors that he won’t be drafted by an NFL team.

The NFL Combine is an invitation-only showcase where college football’s top players perform physical and mental tests in front of coaches and scouts.

Four players at Colorado were invited to the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, but Shilo was not among them.

The list includes Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, Shilo’s brother, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, and two receivers, Jimmy Horn Jr. and LaJohntay Wester.

Shilo, 25, was a defensive back for Colorado, where his father, Deion, is head coach. Deion (center) is pictured with Shilo (left) and Shedeur (right).

Last month, Shilo compared himself to President Donald Trump when X users posted clips of him getting dusted by a receiver at the 2025 East-West Shrine Bowl.

“For those wondering why Shilo Sanders didn’t get an invite to the NFL Combine… He was burnt chicken all [Shrine Bowl] Week,” a fan wrote in a video caption.

“If you just hate me, or you want to hate me… paint me in a bad picture, they do that to our president, they do it to everybody,” Shilo said.

“So I’m not going to be safe from it. But it does get aggravating whenever you’re putting in work and you’re working on your craft and people are just steadily destroying you.”

NBA Cancels Steph Curry 3-Point Contest After Caitlin Clark Said No

NBA Cancels Steph Curry 3-Point Contest After Caitlin Clark Said No

The National Basketball Association canceled the Steph Curry male-female three-point shooting contest after Caitlin Clark declined to participate.

Caitlin has no equal in the WNBA – so the NBA canceled the male-female three-point contest after she said no.

Last year, Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors and New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu participated in the first-ever male-female 3-point shootout. But the NBA announced Thursday that they will not have a rematch at the All-Star game in San Francisco this weekend.

“We weren’t able to land on a plan we thought would raise the bar off of last year’s special moment,” NBA spokesman Mike Bass said. “We all agreed not to proceed and will instead keep the focus on All-Star Sunday’s new format.”

The NBA reached out to Caitlin to see if she would participate. However, she issued a statement through her agency saying she “wants her first 3-point contest to be at WNBA All-Star in Indianapolis this summer.”

The No. 1 draft pick by the Indiana Fever quickly made her mark in the WNBA in 2024. She became the first rookie in league history to score a triple-double. She also led all rookies in scoring and assists.

Caitlin was named the WNBA Rookie of the Year. Her fans believe the MVP trophy was stolen from her by A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces.
