A photo posted on Donald Trump Jr.’s Instagram page shows President-elect Donald Trump, his new health czar Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Tesla CEO Elon Musk eating McDonald’s meals. The photo was taken on board Trump Force One as they headed to the UFC fight in NYC on Saturday night.

Donald Trump Jr wrote on Instagram “Make America Healthy Again starts TOMORROW,” while jokingly implying that RFK Jr was “bullied” into eating McDonald’s.

The photo was triggering to some Americans who were shocked that RFK Jr. was eating fast food. Trump appointed RFK Jr. as America’s next health secretary. He is pictured in an awkward pose with a McDonald’s burger, fries and an unopened bottle of Coca-Cola.

RFK Jr has vowed to “Make America Healthy Again” by firing half of the employees at the FDA and removing dangerous chemicals from food.

RFK Jr was highly critical of the food during his election campaign, and even described Mr Trump’s diet as “really bad”.

“Campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes on to [Trump Force One] is, like, just poison,” he told podcaster Joe Polish.

“You have a choice between – you don’t have the choice, you’re either given KFC or Big Macs. That’s when you’re lucky, and then the rest of the stuff I consider kind of inedible.”

After Mr Trump worked a shift at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s last month, RFK Jr said the burgers and fries should be cooked in beef fat rather than seed oils.

“That was good for you. Your body needs that, it makes you healthy,” Kennedy said on Fox News. “Why aren’t we making it with tallow fat again?”

RFK denied a report that he plans to ban fast food. He said fast food is part of American culture.

But he will make fast food healthy again by forcing restaurants to remove preservatives like citric acid, which gives food a longer shelf life and causes gastric ulcers in humans.

Denzel Washington says people are being manipulated by both political parties

Denzel Washington says both political parties in America are manipulating people. Washington shared his thoughts about American politics while promoting his new movie “Gladiator II” in London, England.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, the American actor responded to a question about the 2024 presidential election. Against all odds, Republican Donald Trump defeated Democratic candidate Kamala Harris on Nov. 5.

“It’s all politics,” Washington, 69, responded. “All promises unkept. And now with the information age the way it is – if anything – left, right, whatever had better learn how to use those tools to manipulate the people. There was a great line in the first movie I did, [1981’s] Carbon Copy: ‘Power to the people? Yeah, they had it once – it was called the Stone Age.'”

He continued: “We’re all slaves to information now. We really are. We’re all slaves. So whatever you feel about the leaders, like this guy’s crazy or the other one is sane, you’d better realize you’re being manipulated by both sides. Period. Yeah. So go to the movies.”

The “Training Day” star made headlines in America last week when he revealed he kissed another actor in Gladiator II. But he said the kiss ended up on the cutting room floor because the filmmakers “got chicken” and “they weren’t ready for that yet.”

A production source tells TMZ the kiss was totally unscripted and that Washington “improvised” the scene. The source said the kiss was not in the script — and it was done multiple times.

“Gladiator II” won the international box office with $87 million in ticket sales over the weekend. The movie opens in the U.S. and Canada on Nov. 22.

Lil Durk Pleads Not Guilty. Hires Trump’s Former Attorney Drew Findling

Drill rapper Lil Durk retained prominent Atlanta attorney Drew Findling to represent him in his federal murder-for-hire case.

Findling confirmed to Channel 2‘s Michael Seiden that he will be representing Durk. Findling is a high-profile defense attorney known for representing President-elect Donald Trump and rappers such as Cardi B.

Durk (born Durk Davontay Banks) pleaded not guilty on Nov. 14 to use of interstate facilities to commit murder-for-hire resulting in death, using, carrying, and discharging firearms and a machine gun and possession of such firearms in furtherance of a crime of violence resulting in death.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Patricia Donahue ordered Durk held in jail without bond, pending a detention hearing on Dec. 12. A tentative trial date was set for January 7, 2025.

Durk, 32, was transferred to a jail in L.A. three weeks after his dramatic arrest in Miami while trying to flee the country on a private plane.

He is charged in a murder-for-hire plot to kill a rival rapper as “get back” or “retaliation” for the murder of his artist King Von. Von was shot and killed during a fistfight with aspiring rapper Quando Rondo outside a hookah lounge in Atlanta in November 2020.

Prosecutors say Durk hired hit men from Chicago to kill Rondo in Los Angeles in 2022. But the shooters missed and killed his cousin, aspiring rapper Saviay’a Robinson, also known as Lul Pablo.

Prosecutors say Durk is the leader of the Chicago-based street gang and rap collective “Only the Family,” or OTF. An arrest warrant for Durk described OTF members as “individuals who engage in violence, including murder and assault, at the direction of BANKS and to maintain their status in OTF.”

The indictment alleges that Durk “would place bounties on individuals that he and other OTF members wanted to kill.”

Five members of Durk’s OTF gang were also arrested and are awaiting trial. The five defendants are expected to be arraigned in federal court in downtown Los Angeles in the coming weeks.

Earlier this year, Durk shocked the music industry when he won a Grammy Award for best melodic rap performance for a subpar rap track titled “All My Life,” featuring J. Cole.

Prosecutors say music mogul Sean Combs is running the federal lockup where he is housed in New York. Combs was indicted in September on sëx trafficking and racketeering charges. He is awaiting trial in May 2025.

The government claims Combs is running the jail and using other inmates’ phone privileges to make calls to potential victims.

The accusations were made in a court filing late Friday by prosecutors who oppose Combs’s latest $50 million bail proposal. A bail hearing is scheduled for next Friday, Nov. 22.

In the bail proposal, defense attorneys said new evidence “undermines” the government’s case against Combs but prosecutors said “the defendant offers nothing new and material justifying a third bail hearing”.

Prosecutors reviewed recorded jail calls made by Combs that reveal he asked family members to reach out to potential victims and witnesses to influence the jury pool. They say he also has encouraged family members to post videos to their social media accounts to sway public opinion of him.

The government filing accused Combs of using the telephone accounts of at least eight other inmates at MDC-Brooklyn “seemingly to avoid law enforcement monitoring” and to make phone calls to people who are not on his approved contact list.

“The defendant has shown repeatedly — even while in custody — that he will flagrantly and repeatedly flout rules in order to improperly impact the outcome of his case. The defendant has shown, in other words, that he cannot be trusted to abide by rules or conditions,” prosecutors wrote.

WENN

Prosecutors say Combs is running the jail and other inmates in the 4 North unit of Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center are fighting over him. They say inmates are sweeping the floor of his cell and making his bed for him.

Convicted Crypto king Sam Bankman-Fried is among the inmates housed in the 4 North Unit along with Combs.

Combs was denied bail twice by 2 separate judges in September. As part of his $50 million bail proposal, Combs would have round-the-clock security, no access to the Internet, and no female visitors at his Star Island estate in Miami, Florida.

In early September, Combs flew to New York on a private jet to turn himself in on September 17 as agreed. But the feds arrested him a day early – on Sept. 16 – when his private jet landed in New York that same day. Combs summoned his jet because he believed he would be released on bond after he turned himself in. But federal agents feared Combs was preparing to skip town.

Combs has pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy, sëx trafficking and prostitution charges. He denied using threats and coercion to force women to engage in sex acts with male prostitutes.

Soul singer SZA has joined the 4B Movement alongside millions of women who have given up on sëx with men amid Donald Trump’s re-election.

SZA told British Vogue that she’s in an “emotional relationship” with her longtime bestie, a woman named Amber. She said she wants to start a family with Amber.

WENN

Amber and SZA first met at college orientation at Delaware State University in the late 2000s. They recently decided to take their relationship to the next level.

They first connected over “being strange”, Amber explained.

“I really do have a deep belief that we’re a split atom or something,” Amber says, getting choked up. “[SZA] didn’t necessarily fit in in high school, and I didn’t really fit in ever or have anybody to really relate to outside of my sister.”

MEGA/WENN

SZA agrees: “It’s the feeling of otherness in all situations. Sometimes it’s like a cold feeling of ‘we’re outside of this’. I don’t feel that I belong here, but somehow we belong with each other.”

SZA wants to start a family with Amber

“It’s sad. It’s like, if I don’t have a child in the next year or two, I might not. But I might have a kid any day – for real,” she says. “She’s the only person that I could have a child with at this point. I’ll just wear her down eventually. But who else would be a life partner? [Men] come and go, like the wind. They’re insane. Mentally unwell.”

SZA regrets getting a Brazilian butt lift (BBL)

SZA explained, “I gained all this weight from being immobile while recovering and trying to preserve the fat. It was just so stupid. But who gives a f*ck? You got a BBL, you realize you didn’t need the shit. It doesn’t matter. I’ll do a whole bunch more sh*t just like it if I want to before I’m f*cking dead because this body is temporary.”

Taylor Hill/FilmMagic

She continued, “It just wasn’t super necessary – I have other sh*t that I need to work on about myself… I need to get my f*cking mental health together… Not to say you can’t do those things simultaneously, just, for me, I realize wherever you go, there you’ll be. But I love my butt. Don’t get me wrong. My booty look nice. And I’m grateful that it looks pretty much… I don’t know, sometimes natural, but I don’t even care. It’s something that I wanted. I’m enjoying it. I love shaking it.”

The 4B feminist movement is growing in America after Donald Trump won the presidential election by a landslide.

The 4B Movement started in South Korea in 2019 after the election of a conservative South Korean President.

In 2024, liberal women in America have joined the 4B Movement as a response to men helping Trump get back into office.

Many women have gone on a “sëx strike” – vowing no sex with men until 2028. Other women have taken the drastic step of removing their uterus so they can’t have children.

Today.com published an article about Sherron Sloss-Lewis and Patricia Lynn-Lewis, who divorced their husbands and decided to date other women.

Sherron Sloss-Lewis and Patricia Lynn-Lewis After dating the same man, Patricia and Sherron met on Match.com and fell in Love.

Let their story be an inspiration to those of you who choose to date women because your candidate lost the election.

The journey won’t be easy, but it will be rewarding if you find the right woman.

The lesbian community welcomes you with open arms.

by Sherron Sloss Lewis:

In 2014, I was a twice-divorced mom of three, ready to put myself back out there.

I was straight my entire life. I had never been attracted to women. But after two divorces from men, I made the decision that I was going to be open to love, however that looked.

When I started dating women, I struggled with my salvation because I was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, and I grew up in the church. As I was out experimenting, I didn’t know if what I was doing was going to be pleasing to God. So I conferred with the minister of my church and he helped me walk through that. Once I felt comfortable, then it was full steam ahead.

When I joined Match.com, I was trying to find my person. I came across Patricia’s profile and I was immediately taken with her looks. I was like, “Oh, wow, she’s pretty,” and I later found out that she thought the same thing about me.

She told me that she said to herself, “Oh, she’s super fine.” But after taking a closer look at my profile, she realized that she knew me through one of our mutual friends — even though we lived in different states.

We lived together for two years before we got married at the Salamander Resort in Middleburg, Virginia, in December 2017.

Patricia and I both have kids from previous marriages, so during our wedding, her son walked her down the aisle and my two sons walked me down the aisle. It was beautiful. It was just magical.

When I moved to Maryland, I was bored at home because I didn’t work — Patricia is the breadwinner — so I decided to become an influencer. I started posting pictures of Patricia and me online. Most of my posts are about lifestyle and fashion, but I started putting Patricia in there just a little bit, to feel the temperature out — most of my followers are straight, so I didn’t know how they would react.

Then it just went crazy. People were so warm and welcoming. At first they said, “Oh my God, you’re gay! Oh my God, your wife!” It just blew up.

Of course, there are always trolls who have terrible things to say, but my community has been nothing but supportive. FULL ARTICLE

Kenya Moore Takes ‘Full Accountability’ for Revenge P0rn Scandal

Kenya Moore is taking full accountability for the revenge p0rn scandal that left her broke. Kenya spoke out on the allegations of revenge p-rn against “Real Housewives of Atlanta” newcomer Brittany Eady in an appearance on The Tamron Hall Show.

The single mom addressed allegations that she shared X-rated photos of Brittany at a public event. Bravo fired Kenya after an internal investigation into the allegations.

Kenya previously denied sharing the graphic photos and vowed to prove her innocence. She said she is in talks with Bravo, and producer Andy Cohen has been supportive of her.

Kenya said in hindsight, she would not share the “distasteful” photos again. She only shared the photos as a storyline on RHOA.

“Hindsight is always 50/50. If I could do it all over again, I believe the photos were very distasteful, and I elevated the situation. I’ve elevated situations before, and I’ve taken full accountability for the things that I’ve done,” Kenya told Tamron Hall.

Kenya tearfully apologized and admitted that she did not have to take their feud so far, but she said she was protecting not only herself but also her daughter.

Insiders say Kenya is broke and desperately in need of money after she lost sponsorships with Sally’s Beauty Supply and other retailers.

Sources say Kenya is living off of the proceeds from a book she wrote with her daughter, Brooklyn.

Brooklyn appeared alongside her mom on The Tamron Hall Show to talk about their children’s book, Brooklyn Bound: Paris.

Former champion boxer Mike Tyson slapped fire out of boxer Jake Paul during weigh-ins, in Irving, Texas. Their boxing match is set to take place on Friday, Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The weigh-in was held at the Toyota Music Factory in Irving, Texas on Thursday, Nov. 14.

Paul, 27, was talking trash and “purposefully” stepped on Tyson’s foot. Tyson, 58, hauled off and slapped Paul across the face. Tyson is still in good shape for a middle-aged man.

The two fighters were quickly separated by their handlers as Paul mocked Tyson and laughed at him.

Tyson weighed in at 233 pounds, and Paul weighed a career-high 220 pounds.

A source close to Tyson told ESPN that Tyson was fed up with Paul’s trash talking, and stepping on his foot triggered Tyson.

Tyson was escorted away while Paul addressed the crowd, saying, “It’s personal now. He must die!”

Bettors are overwhelmingly siding with Tyson. But someone in Michigan placed a $1 million bet with Caesars Sportsbook at -220 odds. The bet would pay $1,454,000 if Paul wins.

But others are convinced that the fight is a staged stunt. Many believe Tyson will take the fall and get knocked out by the younger fighter.

Tyson will be paid $20 million for the sanctioned fight, while Paul will receive $40 million.

It will be Tyson’s first fight since he retired from professional boxing in 2005 with a record of 50 wins, 6 losses and 44 knockouts.

Last week, it was reported that music industry insiders predicted President-elect Donald Trump will pardon his good friend Sean Combs if the music mogul is convicted next year.

Trump is planning to oust Damian Williams, the US attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY).

Williams indicted Combs in September on charges of sëx trafficking and conspiracy to promote prostitution. Combs is being held without bond in a federal detention center in Brooklyn awaiting trial set for May 5, 2025.

Williams also filed a public corruption case against New York Mayor Eric Adams – another friend of Trump’s.

Adams is charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, federal program bribery, and receiving campaign contributions from foreign nationals.

He is also accused of defrauding NYC taxpayers of $10 million through allegedly fraudulent campaign funds.

Trump won the Nov. 5 presidential election by a landslide. According to sources, he may help Combs get out of jail before the rapper’s trial next year.

Trump plans to clean house at the Department of Justice and the FBI after he takes office in January. DOJ employees are reportedly “scrambling” to file early retirement. Trump has said he will fire special counsel Jack Smith who is prosecuting his Florida documents case.

Smith asked a federal judge to drop the documents case against Trump. Smith also plans to resign from his position before Trump is sworn into office.

Williams was nominated in 2021 by President Joe Biden, making Williams the first Black American to lead the prosecutor’s office, and the youngest, at age 41.

The Southern District of NY has secured historic convictions, including the fallen crypto king, Sam Bankman-Fried.

Bankman-Fried and Combs are being held in the same VIP area of the MDC federal lockup in Brooklyn.

Meagan Good’s Rep Denies Breakup Rumors: ‘There’s No Truth to the Rumors’

A rep for actress Meagan Good denies rumors that she split from actor Jonathan Majors after dating for over a year.

The rep spoke with TMZ to lay to rest the brewing speculation that she’s no longer with Jonathan.

“They are not broken up. In fact, they will be attending the Ebony 100 Gala together.”

A popular TikTok blogger reported that Jonathan dumped Meagan now that his career is back on track.

The TikTok blogger said to her fans, “Jonathan is going to be big in Hollywood again, and I think that’s affecting his relationship with Meagan.”

The whispers only grew louder when a guest recently claimed on “The Rickey Smiley Morning Show” that Meagan and Jonathan went their separate ways.

Jonathan’s relationship with Meagan helped him from a public relations standpoint. His Black female fans saw him as a good guy who was safe for Black women to date.

Jonathan previously only dated White women before hooking up with Meagan.

Fans are skeptical at the news that Meagan and Jonathan are still an item.

One person wrote on X: “There is nothing like that….announcing things that don’t add up…they either together or not….period.”

Another fan wrote: “Not folks seeing the future. Come 2025 they will be announcing their official break up and how they are still friends lol.”

A third person wrote: “I just watched that Law & Order #SVU episode where Meagan Good stands by her abusive boyfriend and It just looks so familiar to that Jonathan Majors situation it’s scary.”
