Floyd Mayweather Jr. Is Oblivious To The #MeToo Movement! WATCH!

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 07:15 PM PST

Oh boy...

On Wednesday, Floyd Mayweather Jr. attended the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas to debut Mayweather Boxing + Fitness, a health platform that includes a virtual reality workout game where you get coached by the boxer himself.

During an interview with Men's Health, the reporter asks Floyd about the #MeToo movement -- where women come forward with their sexual assault and harassment experiences -- and he was totally clueless!

When the journalist says, "We're asking a lot of men, in light of the #MeToo movement, how men can grow in 2018?" the 40-year-old quips, "The who?" After the reporter clarifies, Mayweather responds:

"When you say 'me too'... When somebody is like, 'I got a Rolls Royce, I be like me too.' When somebody say they got a private jet, I say, 'Me too. I got two. Me too."'

He continues:

"Well, I didn't know! My Me Too movement from the beginning was whenever somebody said what they have I'm like, 'me too.' Somebody say they got a billion dollars, I say, 'I made a billion dollars, me too."'

Eventually, he does say, "I think that, you know, sexual harassment, I don't think it's cool at all."

This isn't the first time Floyd has given a controversial interview. Back in September, he said Donald Trump was a "real man" for his 2005 "grab 'em by the pussy" comments.

Time's Up! Women Of Congress Sending Message To Accused Sexual Assaulter Donald Trump By Wearing Black To State Of The Union!

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 05:58 PM PST

Donald Trump is set to deliver his first State Of The Union on January 30. (Spoiler Alert: the Union ain't doin' so hot!)

But thanks to the congresswomen of the Democratic Party, there will be at least one bright spot -- well, figuratively bright anyway.

The Democratic Women's Working Group is urging all of Congress follow Hollywood's lead and wear all black to the speech, in support of the #TimesUp initiative.

California Representative Jackie Speier wrote:

Though the women don't directly name Trump, he is still being accused by 16 women of sexual harassment and assault, so this would be a pretty strong message aimed right at him.

TBH we were going to wear black anyway to mourn.

Something tells us some Trump supporters would prefer to wear red -- or should we say красный?

Logan Paul DROPPED From YouTube Series & Google Preferred Following Video Controversy

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 05:24 PM PST

The fallout continues...

As we reported, Logan Paul received major heat after he posted (and then deleted) a video where he apparently finds a dead body while traveling through Aokigahara, also known as the Japanese Suicide Forest.

On Wednesday, YouTube and Google have officially distanced themselves from the disgraced social media star.

Not only was the 22-year-old dropped from the YouTube Red series Foursome, he was cut from Google Preferred, which aggregates the top 5% of most-viewed YouTube content. Basically, this will dramatically affect how he monetizes his videos.

As we wrote on Tuesday, YouTube issued a statement where they said:

"Suicide is not a joke, nor should it ever be a driving force for views."

It should go without saying...

'I AM NOT A FUCKING PEDOPHILE!!!' Watch Shane Dawson's Explosive Apology Video!

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 05:12 PM PST

Shane Dawson is under fire today for some comments he made on a 2013 podcast.

In case you haven't heard, he was joking about pedophilia and child pornography on an episode of Shane And Friends.

On Wednesday, a video was posted on YouTube in which the audio is edited slightly to remove the aspects that make it clear he's joking, including Dawson saying he was "kidding" and a disclaimer in which he says "having sex with children or touching children or anything of that nature is terrible, and you should not do it."

It's obviously not what the re-edit is making it out to be, but plenty of people are still offended by what they heard for the first time today, jokes or not. Even when you listen to the podcast, the comments are still disturbing and highly uncomfortable to sit through.

So in response to the shitstorm, Shane has released a 14-minute apology video that is both irate at those trying to smear his name AND legitimately remorseful-sounding for his bad "comedy" from years past.

He begins:

"I am not a fucking pedophile!!! Everybody's saying, 'Shane, make a statement.' There's my statement. I am not a fucking pedophile. It's disgusting that some people are saying I'm a fucking pedophile because of some shitty ass fucking jokes on a podcast from six years ago!"

Dawson then takes a second to calm himself and gives a very specific, sincere apology for what he says he is guilty of -- telling gross jokes:

"Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to apologize first. I used to make really shitty fucking jokes. I am sorry that I was so insecure, I was playing this character of this guy who's, like, crazy and say anything and like, tries to make people laugh by shocking them. That was my thing. That was what I did on YouTube. A lot of people now don't know that."

He then admits, in detail, the kind of immature, hurtful "comedy stuff" he was doing at the time -- and why he'd "never" do that now:

"I loved the feeling of making somebody shocked and laugh because they couldn't believe what was coming out of my mouth. I wasn't confident enough to make smarter jokes. I was making the easy jokes. I was playing crazy stereotypical characters. I was doing shit that was racially insensitive, I was doing shit that was homophobic, I was doing shit that could be considered fat shaming, I was doing some fucked up comedy stuff that I'm not proud of.

I have changed so much as a person and as a creative and as a director and a writer. The stuff that I was saying back in those times I would never say now. Ever. Because I don't think that's funny. Listening to that clip now, I didn't laugh. I didn't think it was funny. But when you hear that clip, you hear my cohost laughing, which was my goal. I wanted to always make her shocked and laugh. That was our thing."

Shane Dawson Explains His 'Justification For Pedophilia' & Calls A Six-Year-Old 'Sexy' In Shocking Edited Video!

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 03:33 PM PST

UPDATE 8:15 P.M. EST: Shane has now released a full apology video. While passionately declaring he is not a pedophile, he does apologize for ever joking about the subject and making insensitive comments that, "comedy" or not, made a lot of people highly uncomfortable. Watch and learn more HERE.

YouTube is officially getting out of hand...

On Wednesday, an edited video went viral featuring Shane Dawson's comments about pedophilia from a 2013 Shane and Friends podcast.

In the shocking clip (which has since been deleted), the social media personality discusses meeting a six-year-old girl with 125,000 Instagram followers, and then calls her "sexy" and "little big dick." While the fan-made video shows Alabama Luella Barker's face, it is unclear if Travis Barker's daughter is the girl in question.

The 29-year-old then explains his "justification for pedophilia" where he compares the psychiatric disorder to a sexual fetish. He then admits to googling "naked babies" to "pretend like [he is] a pedophile," and remarks "they were sexy."

That same day, Dawson responded to the controversy saying the video was edited in a way where his "jokes" were "taken out of context," as his "punchlines" were removed. He wrote:


In the podcast (which can be heard in its entirety HERE), Shane does say "having sex with children or touching children or anything of that nature is terrible and you should not do it."

Additionally, the video leaves out the part where Shane says he "didn't want to see child porn" during his Google search, and that he is "kidding" when he calls the babies "sexy."

Either way, the audio is absolutely disturbing, disgusting, and uncomfortable to sit through.

When word spread, some fans blasted Dawson for his sick comments, while others defended him for his "dark humor" and slammed the video's misleading editing. See all the reactions (below):

Watch Margot Robbie Talk About The Time Her Husband Accidentally Flashed Ellen DeGeneres & Barack Obama!

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 03:06 PM PST

A-list runs come when you least expect it.

That's what Margot Robbie's husband learned after accidentally exposing himself to Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi, AND Barack Obama while the couple was on their honeymoon!

No, really. That actually happened!

Video: Tom Hanks & Meryl Streep Play EACH OTHER On Ellen!

It all went down when Tom Ackerley and the I, Tonya star vacationed in Tahiti a few months after tying the knot in December 2016. Following a few days on a secluded part of the island, the new-ish-lyweds capped off their trip at a luxury hotel.

When the two decided to hit the gym for a class, Ackerly thought it was a fine to wear an old pair of VERY revealing short shorts. "Who are we going to run into," the actress recalled her husband saying at the time.

Well, guess who they ran into! Watch Robbie tell the hilarious story (above).

Michelle Williams' 12-Year-Old Daughter Encouraged Her To Reshoot All The Money In The World After Kevin Spacey Controversy

Posted: 10 Jan 2018 02:49 PM PST

Michelle Williams will always have the support of her biggest fan.

In a new interview with Vulture, the 37-year-old actress opened up about the tough decision to miss Thanksgiving with her family in order to reshoot All The Money In The World after the Kevin Spacey controversy.

As we know, it wasn't the money that tempted her to complete the project (read: Mark Wahlberg was reportedly paid an additional $1.5 million while she got under $1,000 for the reshoots). Instead, it was her 12-year-old daughter, Matilda, who put everything into perspective.

When asked about the effort to save the movie, Michelle said in the feature:

"I had to break the news to my family and tell them I wasn't going be home [for the holidays] and make alternate arrangements for them. But everyone was so supportive, no one more than my 12-year-old daughter, who said, 'You worked so hard on this. Don't let it be ruined because of one bad man.'"

That is amazing!

As for the toll the situation took on her emotionally, the advocate explained:

"It's just been up and down, up and down, and has meant that I've worked every day for the last two months. It's been an emotional roller coaster."

Adding:

"It's just been such a strange saga of highs and lows and ups and downs. To go from what was surprisingly one of the most exciting and creative experiences of my whole life with [Ridley Scott], who I wouldn't have expected to have as my compadre … and then, to have it kind of skid into the dirt with Kevin Spacey …"

Williams pulled off an incredible performance even with all that drama going on! You'd think she'd be paid accordingly...

Logan Paul isn't the only YouTube star in trouble for a video shot in Japan...

In September, social media personalities Dan Rue and Nick Joseph (pictured above) posted a video they shot in the Asian country where the two wreak havoc, and even jokingly kidnap a little girl from her family.
