Marlon Wayans was recently kicked off of a flight because he had three pieces of carry-on and not two.

Taco Bell
One would say it was just a matter of time….
Taco Bell wants to cancel the trademark “Taco Tuesday.” The trademark has been owned by rival Taco John’s based in Wyoming for 34 years, while Gregory’s Restaurant and Bar owns it in Ocean City, New Jersey. Taco Bell is asking the U.S. Trademark office to cancel the smaller rivals trademarks. Taco Bell argues the phrase should be freely available to all who make, sell, eat and celebrate tacos.
What are your thoughts on this move by Taco Bell?

Former President Obama says he’s worried Americans are in “different realities.” Speaking on CBS, he said a divided, “splintered” media is what concerns him most. He said that compared to the past when Americans may disagree on how to solve issues, they at least agreed on what the issues were. Now many will claim that they don’t believe in things including science, or are convinced that experts are biased. Obama added that one of his missions of the Obama Foundation is to have Americans agree at least on “a common set of facts.”

– Tupac Shakur once said he gave all his love to Oakland, and on Tuesday, the city is giving back to him. The city council voted to rename part of MacArthur Boulevard in honor of the hip hop legend — the section between Grand Avenue and Van Buren Avenue, near the Grand Lake Theater. Tupac was raised in Marin City and Baltimore, but launched his music career in Oakland. In 2016, city officials dedicated June 16th as Tupac Shakur Day in the city. The resolution to rename the street in his honor, celebrates Tupac for his contributions to art and social outreach.

Steve Harvey was on Nick Cannon’s talk show and gave Nick his props for being multi-media faceted. Nick showed Steve a photo of Nick dressed as Steve for Halloween.
Steve said he saw the photo and said when someone showed it to him he said, Imma knock his a** out.. Nick mentioned comedian Godfrey who also does an impression of
Steve Harvey. Steve said, I’m looking for Godfrey too and then Godfrey came out on set. Steve jokingly said that while he had both men in the same room that as much as he wanted to knock them both out he was too old to do it and that he would have to pay someone to do it for him. He said if he saw Nick, Kenan Thompson and Godrey in the same room he would burn the whole place down. He did turn to Godfrey and gave him
his props saying, “that’s a talented cat.”

In Janet Jackson’s two-part documentary, Jermaine Dupri admitted to cheating on her. He said, “One of the weird things is that dating Janet attracts other women. Girls wanted to talk to me more because I was dating her…and I’m a man.”
Afterward, Twitter went off. Most of it I can’t repeat here but the consensus was he ‘fumbled the bag’
