That Didn't Take Long! People Are PISSED About Kendall Jenner's Pepsi Ad!

Posted: 04 Apr 2017 06:46 PM PDT

The executives at Coca-Cola are popping champagne as we speak!

As we reported, Kendall Jenner released her new Pepsi commercial which features the KUWTK star leaving a photoshoot for a protest where she gives a can of soda to a monitoring cop.

The bizarre ending seemingly signifies that a soft drink can bring about unity between authority and demonstrators, who have had a tumultuous relationship in our current political climate.

After the ad went viral, the Internet was PISSED with the commercial's ludicrous message, especially given the rise of police brutality in recent years.

Twitter users wrote:


Once the backlash began, a Pepsi spokesperson told EW:

"This is a global ad that reflects people from different walks of life coming together in a spirit of harmony, and we think that's an important message to convey."

The company also released a different statement to Teen Vogue:

"The creative showcases a moment of unity, and a point where multiple storylines converge in the final advert. It depicts various groups of people embracing a spontaneous moment, and showcasing Pepsi's brand rallying cry to 'Live For Now,' in an exploration of what that truly means to live life unbounded, unfiltered and uninhibited."

Just like their drink, Pepsi's popularity is fizzling out!

Mel B Believed Estranged Husband Would Kill Her Or Her Friends If They Called Police About Alleged Abuse

Posted: 04 Apr 2017 05:43 PM PDT

What a nightmare...

As we reported, Mel B allegedly suffered years of abuse from estranged husband Stephen Belafonte but authorities were never notified.

According to a new report, we now know why.

While the former Spice Girl tried to make excuses about her visible injuries, a group of close friends and family didn't buy her explanation. When they finally confronted her, the 41-year-old singer had trouble covering up the truth.

When people from her inner circle threatened to call the cops, the America's Got Talent host begged them not to in fear that Belafonte would either kill them or her!

Sounds like an absolutely HORRIFYING ordeal!

As we wrote, on Monday, the musician was granted a restraining order against her ex, and the judge ordered Stephen to leave their Hollywood Hills home.

However, Mel B has no plans to live at her El Lay residence, given the devastating memories. On the same day Belafonte was kicked out, she lowered the price on the mansion by a million dollars even though the property has only been on sale for two weeks. She is now asking for $7.995 million.

What a real house of horror...

John Mayer may still feel like Katy Perry's man, but on Monday night he belonged to someone else -- Shawn Mendes!

During his Toronto concert, John surprised his audience by welcoming the Canadian crooner onstage to perform his hit Mercy.

Watch Shawn's wildest dream duet (below)!

In case we didn't explain just how much this meant to Shawn, just check out what he tweeted afterwards:


To which his bestie Camila Cabello replied:


We're so happy for him! We just love seeing dreams come true!

Halsey Drops Her Brand New Single, Complete With Crazy Over-The-Top Music Video!

Posted: 04 Apr 2017 03:46 PM PDT

Halsey is back,and she brought a whole universe with her.

Her first single off the upcoming hopeless fountain kingdom album (out June 2) is a moody little loop called Now Or Never. We like it, but it's not grabbing us.

The video goes the other way, introducing us to what Halsey calls "the hopeless fountain kingdom universe," which we assume means this is the first of many vids in the setting.

Video: Halsey & The Chainsmokers Get Closer At The 2016 MTV VMAs!

The "universe" is... a bit much. Basically, it looks like Sicario and Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet had a violent baby. In other words, it's SO Halsey.

Ch-ch-check it out (above)!

(Also worth noting, we're pretty damn sure gurl is really chopping off her locks for the camera there!)

Bill O'Reilly Is DEFINITELY About To Get Fired!

Posted: 04 Apr 2017 03:16 PM PDT

UPDATE 9:18 P.M. EST: Paul Rittenberg, EVP of Advertising Sales for Fox News said in a statement, "We value our partners and are working with them to address their current concerns about the O'Reilly Factor. At this time, the ad buys of those clients have been re-expressed into other FNC programs."

UPDATE 7:40 P.M. EST: Several more businesses have now pulled out of The O'Reilly Factor, including: Bayer, Esurance, Orkin, TrueCar, and Wayfair.

That brings the total to 18. So, y'know... boy bye!

Forget "No Spin Zone" -- Bill O'Reilly is about to run the "No Sellin' Zone."

After it was revealed this weekend that Bill and Fox News shelled out $13 mil to quietly settle FIVE previously unknown sexual harassment suits against the political pundit, advertisers are running for the hills.

For some reason they don't want their products associated with a serial sex offender. Weird.

We told you Mercedez-Benz and Hyundai pulled their ads from The O'Reilly Factor on Monday, followed by BMW on Tuesday morning.

Now, just hours later TEN MORE businesses have followed suit!

So far, the list includes Lexus, Mitsubishi, GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi Consumer Care, Allstate, T. Rowe Price, Credit Karma, Untuckit, Constant Contact, and Ainsworth Pet Nutrition. That's 13 in all -- a very unlucky number for O'Reilly.

Obviously previous sexual harassment suits haven't hurt ratings enough to make a difference, but it seems we've hit the tipping point. Basic cable works on advertising dollars, and if they're gone you're show is soon to follow.

Was that how "no spin" is supposed to work?

VOTE: Is Kim Kardashian Promoting Drinking & Smoking With Her New Kimoji Merch Drop??

Posted: 04 Apr 2017 02:47 PM PDT

Just in time for Coachella, too!

In an interesting turn of events, Kim Kardashian West finally dropped the new Kimoji merch she's been teasing to Instagram this week, and it's not exactly what we expected from the supposed non-smoker and non-drinker...

She's selling flasks, lighters, and even rolling papers!

WTF??

Photos: All The Celebrities With Emojis!

There's a also a "baggie bandana" that probably isn't meant to look like the plastic bag you put your lunch.

Less controversial merch options on her site are a "Butt Pool Float" -- which is exactly what you think it is -- and a "WYA" (Where Ya At) hat.

Still, we have to ask...

The 36-year-old obviously isn't saying "do drugs" or "drink alcohol," but it's definitely interesting considering her fan base does reach teens.

What do U think??

Man Chokes To Death During Donut Challenge — The Same Day Sorority Girl Dies From Pancake Eating Contest

Posted: 04 Apr 2017 02:27 PM PDT

This is tough.

Food challenges have resulted in tragedy over the past week when two separate eating competitions led to the choking deaths of ill-fated participants.

A sorority girl at Sacred Heart University died on Sunday after choking on a pancake during a Greek life event on campus.

Caitlin Nelson, a junior studying social work at the Connecticut college, had eaten four or five pancakes on Friday when she started shaking uncontrollably and collapsed.

Police say the 20-year-old spit out some pieces of pancake, but was unresponsive and not breathing when they arrived on the scene. Officers were not successfully able to use the Heimlich maneuver.

The Kappa Delta sorority sister, whose father, James Nelson, was a Port Authority police officer who died on 9/11, was transferred to a New York hospital on Friday in critical but stable condition. She passed away Sunday.

But competitive eating had another victim to claim on Sunday -- a 42-year-old Colorado man who choked to death devouring a giant donut.

According to reports, Travis Malouff was participating in an eating challenge at Voodoo Doughnut when he began choking. Two witnesses reportedly tried to help, but didn't know how to perform the Heimlich.

Paramedics received the call around 1:30 a.m., shortly before he died in the shop's lobby from "asphyxia, due to obstruction of the airway," according to the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner.

Malouff was taking part in the shop's "Tex-Ass Challenge," which involves eating a massive donut 7-inches in diameter -- about the size of six regular donuts -- in less than 80 seconds.

A witness told KUSA that the challenge is "too much food for one person" and that the victim "was trying to force it down" to win the prize, supposedly a button and a free meal.

Both deaths are being regarded as extraordinarily tragic; particularly Nelson's, as the fatal pancake eating contest was part of a school charity event. Our hearts go out to the victims' families.

McDonald's May Actually Bring Back Their Szechuan McNugget Sauce — & It's All Thanks To Rick and Morty!

Posted: 04 Apr 2017 01:41 PM PDT

Brace yourselves, we're about to get nostalgic!

It appears as though McDonald's is considering bringing back the Szechuan McNugget Sauce they distributed back in the '90s as a promotion for the Disney animated flick Mulan. And it appears as though we have the TV show Rick and Morty to thank for this news!

Video: Kendall Jenner's New Pepsi Commercial Is So Very Random

On April Fool's Day, Adult Swim treated Rick and Morty fans to a new episode after going on hiatus back in 2015. The episode features a Szechuan McNugget Sauce-obsessed Rick, who goes on a rant about bringing back the beloved sauce. Specifically, the character noted:

"I'm not driven by avenging my dead family. I'm driven by finding that McNugget sauce. I want that Mulan McNugget Sauce … That's my series arc, Morty. If it takes nine seasons, I want that McNugget Szechuan sauce."

HIGHlarious! Fans were quick to jump on the Szechuan sauce bandwagon as they started a petition on Change.org where they demanded McDonald's bring back the promotional side. At the time of writing this piece, the petition had around 22,066 supporters.

WHOA! Not to mention, the outcry got the attention of a corporate chef for the fast food powerhouse. Chef Mike Haracz revealed on Twitter:

AH-Mazing! We mean, it would make sense for McDonald's to bring back the sauce since Disney is currently working on a live action remake of Mulan.

With the new Mulan planning to hit theaters in November, we have a feeling that's when the Szechuan sauce will make it's return.

Wubba lubba dub dub!

Susan Sarandon SLAMS Publicist For Creating Those Pesky Julia Roberts Feud Rumors — Oh Snap!

Posted: 04 Apr 2017 01:28 PM PDT

Susan Sarandon may currently star in Feud, but that doesn't mean her life imitates her art.

In fact, on Sunday the A-lister decided to clear up a 20-year rumor that she feuded with Julia Roberts on the set of their flick Step-Mom. In case you forgot, back in the late '90s rumors swirled that Miz Sarandon and Miz Roberts butted-heads while working on the comedy-drama.

Related: Ryan Murphy's Next Feud Is Way More Controversial

While both Julia and Susan previously denied the beef, the Thelma & Louise star recently slammed her publicist for starting the gossip all those years ago. She wrote:

How awful! In the old article Sarandon shared, the 70-year-old explained:

"If you make a movie with a male star, everyone assumes you're fucking. If it's a female star, everyone assumes you're fighting."

It's a problem Susan is STILL dealing with today as she regularly gets asked if she and Feud costar Jessica Lange get along. The industry vet added:

LOVES it!

And tbh, we're not shocked to learn that any feud rumors involving Susan are B.S. We mean, who could hate Sarandon??
