Geraldo Rivera: Minorities Listening To Rap Is More Destructive Than Racism!

Geraldo Rivera is more destructive to Black and Latino youths

The mustached ambulance chaser is notorious for being a trash talking agitator. From his days in syndication to his gig on Loserville. The most annoying talk show host since that annoying conservative agitator, Geraldo Rivera has decided to go after the hip-hop community.


Understanding that hip-hop music may contain explicit lyrics. The lyrics are assured for adults. I don't understand why O'Loofus, that annoying conservative agitator, that old fart King Hippo and this mustached ambulance chaser concerned about the children?

Or is this another attempt to smear the president. Or maybe Jay-Z and Beyonce? Or maybe Common?

After all John Legend and Common are nominated for an Oscar for best motion picture song.

Anyway, this controversy brewed when Geraldo appeared on Loserville to talk trash about young minorities who listening to Lil' Wayne, Drake, Gucci Mane, Future, 2 Chainz and even Eminem.

He talks to Huff Post Live and went off claiming that hip-hop music done more harm to Blacks and Latinos then racism alone.

Rivera said he believes that “hip-hop has done more damage to black and brown people than racism in the last ten years.”

And it’s not just hip-hop, it’s fashion, because he challenged people to find “a Puerto Rican from the South Bronx or a black kid from Harlem who has succeeded in life… walking around with his pants around his ass and with visible tattoos.”

Oscars So White!

Selma poster.jpg
 Ava DuVernay directed biopic Selma. It features David Oyelowo as Dr. Martin Luther King. It is an account of the march from Selma to Montgomery during the 1965 Civil Rights protest.

A huge controversy has ensued. The Academy Awards nominations came out and it became a literally shutout for minority actors, directors, women and movies.

The nominations were mostly White male and older celebrities. Not many of the nominees are Black, Asian, Hispanic or women of color.

For the third time since 1995, the 20 Academy Award acting nominations were only for white actors and actresses. The first was in 1998 and second was in 2011.

David Sims of The Atlantic states "the surprising coolness towards Martin Luther King, Jr. biopic Selma—nominated for Best Picture but missing in the Director, Actor, and Original Screenplay categories—with the fact that all 20 acting nominees this year are white, the first time such a thing has happened since the Oscars honoring the films of 1995."

Selma is directed by Ava DuVernay, herself an African-American female.

The Guardian columnist Bidisha also notes the overwhelmingly white nominee list while also discussing the fact that "every nominated best director, screenwriter, screenplay adapter and original score composer is a white man," which suggests that there is an inherent lack of female representation in the Oscars this year beyond the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress categories.

There was also some negative reaction from critics due to The Lego Movie not receiving an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature Film.
John Legend and Common were nominated for an Oscar.
Similar reaction also came from singer Lorde not being nominated for Best Original Song for "Yellow Flicker Beat" from The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1.

There was also criticism from James Gunn regarding the fact that The Lego Movie was snubbed and Jake Gyllenhaal was not nominated for his performance in Nightcrawler while Dan Gilroy has received a nomination.

Foxcatcher's lack of a Best Picture nomination garnered some criticism as well as despite the director Bennett Miller, screenwriters E. Max Frye and Dan Futterman, and actors Steve Carrell and Mark Ruffalo all receiving nominations, the film itself did not.

On the bright side, John Legend and Common were nominated for an Oscar.

The famed R&B singer and rapper were nominated for Best Song for the movie Selma. Glory" from Selma – Music and Lyric by John Legend and Common: performed by John Legend and Common.

Your thoughts on the matter?

Do you believe that the Motion Picture Industry snub of non-White performers was a good idea?

Andraé Crouch Passed Away!

The godfather of urban gospel passed away.

On Friday, the urban gospel world lost a legendary singer and talent. Andrae Crouch passed away and there's an outpouring of sympathy from his family and many friends. Of course, we here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Andraé Crouch.

Crouch was considered the godfather of modern day urban gospel.

Crouch was known for his compositions "The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power", "My Tribute (To God Be the Glory)" and "Soon and Very Soon". In secular music, he was known for his collaborative work during the 1980s with Stevie Wonder, Elton John and Quincy Jones as well as conducting choirs that sang on the Michael Jackson hit "Man in the Mirror" and Madonna's "Like a Prayer".

Crouch was noted for his talent of incorporating contemporary secular music styles into the gospel music he grew up with. His efforts in this area were what helped in paving the way for early American contemporary Christian music during the 1960s and 1970s.

Crouch's original music arrangements were heard in the films The Color Purple and Disney's The Lion King, as well as the NBC television series Amen. Awards received by him include seven Grammy Awards, being inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 1998, and receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2004.

Crouch was hospitalized in early December 2014 for pneumonia and congestive heart failure. As a result, his December tour was postponed.

He was hospitalized again on January 3, 2015 in Los Angeles, as the result of a heart attack. Crouch died five days later at Northridge Hospital Medical Center on January 8, 2015, at the age of 72.

On the same day, his sister, Sandra, released the following statement: "Today my twin brother, womb-mate and best friend went home to be with the Lord. Please keep me, my family and our church family in your prayers. I tried to keep him here but God loved him best."

Following Crouch's death, Christian recording artist Michael W. Smith told Billboard Magazine, "...I'll never forget hearing Andraé for the first time. It was like someone had opened a whole new world of possibilities for me musically. I don't think there is anyone who inspired me more, growing up, than Andraé Crouch. The depth of his influence on Christian music is incalculable. We all owe him so much and I'll forever be grateful for the times we got to work together."

Legendary DJ, Mister Cee leaves Hot 97.

Nearly 20 years on New York's Hot 97, Mister Cee finished the job. He jump ship to join the Hudson Valley's urban contemporary Radio 103.9 FM to do the mixes.

I would love to take a shot at being a program director or a music director at a radio station. I would love to continue to be in the music industry in any form. If an offer came to me in regards to working at a record label, depending on the situation, I would love to. Music is in my blood. I’m still going to DJ parties. I’m still booked up to DJ parties.” (XXL Mag)

Mister Cee was best known as the guy who helped Notorious B.I.G. get signed to Sean "Diddy" Combs' Bad Boy Records in the early 1990s.

Mister Cee was also known for the stroll. He would pick up prostitutes. Namely he would pick up not only women but transgender prostitutes. He got busted three times for soliciting for them.

He went to the public to admit that he's bisexual after being forced out by a crossdresser who tried to exploit him for profit.

Lifetime Faces Criticism Over Aaliyah Biopic!


A long time ago, August 25, 2001, Aaliyah, famed entertainer died in a plane crash in the Bahamas.

The world lost a legendary talent who's down to earth appeal attracted millions of fans.

Lifetime is running an original movie based on her life. The junk food media thinks that it's going to be full of controversy because it doesn't really tell the story of Aaliyah.

Nickelodeon star Alexandra Shipp portrays the late singer Aaliyah. Previously entertainer Zendaya was going to portray the late singer. But death threats and harsh criticism forced her to drop the project.

Alexandra Shipp portrays Aaliyah in Lifetime movie.
In the synopsis, Lifetime will run the movie on November 15. Lifetime’s Original Movie, “Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B,” starring Alexandra Shipp (“House of Anubis”) as the beloved actress and music sensation, is set to premiere Saturday, November 15, at 8pm ET/PT.

The two-hour movie event is executive produced by Howard Braunstein, Debra Martin Chase and Wendy Williams, and based on the bestseller “Aaliyah: More Than a Woman” by former Time Magazine music editor Christopher John Farley (Game World).

Before Beyoncé and before Rihanna, self-proclaimed “street but sweet” Aaliyah was poised to become a global icon with top-selling albums, a hot movie career and an adoring fan base.

The film follows the beautiful and talented performer’s inspirational journey, from her debut on “Star Search” at the age of ten to the challenges she faced during her rise to become the Princess of R&B.

On August 25, 2001, at the height of her popularity, her life was tragically cut short when a plane carrying the singer and some of her video crew crashed after takeoff from a Bahamian runway.

Although just 22-years-old at the time of her death, Aaliyah continues to lead a legacy as Billboard’s tenth most famous R&B artist of the past 25 years and one of the recording industry’s most successful artists in history.

Multi-talented actress and singer/songwriter Alexandra Shipp starred as KT Rush in the Nickelodeon series “House of Anubis.” Additional credits include the upcoming film “Drumline 2: A New Beat,” “ Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel,” “Ray Donovan,” “Victorious,” “Switched at Birth” and “Awkward.” Shipp is currently filming Universal Pictures’ “Straight Outta Compton.”

“Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B” also stars Rachael Crawford (“The Man”) and Sterling Jarvis (“The Sentinel”) as Aaliyah’s parents Diane and Mike Haughton; A.J. Saudin (“Degrassi,” “The Next Generation”) as Aaliyah’s brother Rashad Haughton; and Lyriq Bent (“Saw IV”) as her uncle and music manager Barry Hankerson. The film also stars Anthony Grant as Damon Dash, Izaak Smith (“Mirror, Mirror”) as Timbaland, Elise Neal (“The Soul Man”) as Gladys Knight and Chattrisse Dolabaille (“Home Away”) as Missy Elliot. “Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B” is produced by Aaliyah Productions, Inc. Howard Braunstein (“The Informant!”) Debra Martin Chase (“The Princess Diaries,” “Sparkle”) and Wendy Williams (“Wendy Williams Show”) serve as executive producers. Steve Solomos serves as producer. Bradley Walsh (“Turn the Beat Around”) directs from a script written by Michael Elliot (“Brown Sugar”).

The Town Of West Kardashian!

Celebrity agitators are getting married. Kim Kardashian's third and Kanye West's first.

Kim Kardashian, the celebriturd and her boyfriend/fiance rapper Kanye West are getting married this weekend. Kardashian is a reality star and annoying celebrity. She and her family along with former athlete Bruce Jenner are on this reality show on E! Network.

Kardashian recently had a daughter with her high profile and controversial boyfriend. West is a producer, rapper, media mogul. He is a signed act to Roc-A-Fella/RocNation and is the founder G.O.O.D. Music.

G.O.O.D. Music is credited to Common, Big Sean, John Legend and Pusha T's album releases.

This marriage is going to be big. This will be Kardashian's third marriage and West's first. This is a high profile wedding. The junk food media is swarming to Italy.

The wedding is closing kept under wraps. West is trying to surprise his beau with many themes.

Kardashian landed her first American Vogue cover for the magazine's April 2014 issue, together with West. The cover has been lauded by some, while others have taken a more critical look of the reality star being on the cover, with she and West dubbed the "#worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple (or Kimye)."




In my opinion, I think that this could be a sham marriage.

I just have this big feeling that these two celebrity agitators are going to have a huge fallout.

But I can't judge them. They're in love.

We here at Journal de la Reyna wish these two well. And if anything leaks about the wedding, you'll get the latest here.

Jet Magazine Goes Digital!


Legendary comic Bernie Mac was featured.
Johnson Publications, Inc. is about to end the longstanding pocket magazine. It's going to go to the online websites.

Jet is an American weekly marketed toward African-American readers, founded in 1951 by John H. Johnson of Johnson Publishing Company in Chicago, Illinois.

Initially billed as "The Weekly Negro News Magazine", Jet is notable for its role in chronicling the early days of the American Civil Rights movement from its earliest years, including coverage of the Emmett Till murder, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

In 2014, Johnson Publishing Company indicated that it would cease publishing Jet issues at the end of June, continuing solely as a digital magazine app.

Jet contains fashion and beauty tips, entertainment news, dating advice, political coverage, health tips, and diet guides, in addition to covering events such as fashion shows. The cover photo usually corresponds to the focus of the main story. Some examples of cover stories might be a celebrity's wedding, Mother's Day, or a recognition of the achievements of a notable African American. Many issues are given coverage to show the African-American community that if they want to reach a goal, they have to be willing to work for it. Jet also claims to give young female adults confidence and strength because the women featured therein are strong and successful without the help of a man.

Its sister magazine Ebony will continue to publish magazines.

Kanye West: [That Jackass] Barack Obama Betrayed "Us Black Folk!"



America's most outspoken entertainer is back in the studio prepping for his newest album. He is also making a statement about his fellow Chicagoan who happens to be the President of The United States.

While promoting himself, his acts John Legend, Pusha T and Big Sean on the GOOD Music label, the 36-year old Kanye West blast the junk food media.

Currently he's doing his Yeezus tour. It's based of the rapper's recent album release.

He's engaged to reality celebriturd Kim Kardashian, who is the mother of baby North.

It comes as no surprise that West follows what goes on in America. And when it comes to politics, the rapper/producer has no love for politicos.

While in Philadelphia, he appears on Hot 107.9 FM. The entertainer declared that "Barack Obama" isn't going to be mentioned by name ever again.

They asked the entertainer if he would ever break bread with President Barack Obama:

Oh, you talking about how he use to come and visit me and my mama and tell me he's about to run for president? I just think that we're pop icons, and the president likes to use that type of thing just to be down. People was fine with me being everyone's punching bag for about five years. "This is the person we love to hate, so if you want to distract people from everything that's going on [...] just say you hate Kanye and there's going be 30 other people who say they hate Kanye." That was kind of my position in culture and he kind of used that too. "Oh, he's a jackass," because that's how the world felt.

I don't care if someone's the president or not. I care about thoughts and how you helping people and what you bring to the world. My music brings joy to people. What I create brings joy to people. Me, I'm not about me. I'm about I've got an idea that people are going to like. Don't you get frustrated around Christmas time dealing with clothing? Don't you get frustrated with so many things? That's Steve Jobs made things easier for people in life.

Before he went even further into his rant, the hosts interrupted him. They warned him not to aim at First Lady Michelle Obama.

West would later elaborate in reference to his fiance:

Well, uh, I think he should mention my baby mama's name, because we both from Chicago. [...] But no, I'm not gonna mention him no more, I'm passed that. That's out my thoughts. That's lowering my priority of thinking at this point.

In 2009, President Barack Obama criticized West when he jumped the stage at the MTV Music Awards and stole the highlight moment from pop singer Taylor Swift.

He face some huge criticism after this controversy. There's so many things I would say about President Barack Obama. One thing is clear, he's got a lot of heat on him.

Because of the ongoing agitators in the junk food media and that stupid website for the Healthcare Marketplace, things aren't getting done.

Congress is inept in getting aid to victims of disasters. They can't pass a jobs bill. They can't pass a bill that stops military rape. They can't pass immigration reform. They can't pass a bill that helps fix infrastructure.

And even though we seen numerous firearm massacres in the United States, Congress isn't working on reasonable gun control bills.

It's the reasons to why President Barack Obama is being criticized as a "lame duck". Even though he won reelection easily, the Republicans still bitter over his victory are now hoping they can ruin his legacy by taking the focus off of jobs and the priorities on Obamacare.

Kanye West appears on Roc-A-Fella Records. He is affiliated with GOOD Music.

Kanye West's Diva Attitude May Land Him In The Iron College!

Entertainer smacks more than his hands.

The entertainer is promoting his acts Big Sean, John Legend and Pusha T new albums and his new child North.

He and reality turdelebrity Kim Kardashian had a child this year and the couple are planning on moving to France.

Kanye West assaults the paparazzi.  
The entertainer usually rants and raves for shock value. He's notorious for showing out in the crowds.

But this time, his shock value may land him in the courtroom and soon the iron college.

The entertainer was spotted assaulting a paparazzi. This time it's going to not only cost him a few stacks for the injures and replacement of equipment, but six months as parent.

He was spotted in Los Angeles and the paparazzi took a picture of him and probably asked an insulting question towards him. And you know what he does from there. He's pummels the guy.

The Associated Press reports that prosecutors have charged Kanye West with misdemeanor battery over a July scuffle with a celebrity photographer at Los Angeles International Airport.

City attorney's spokesman Frank Mateljan says West was also charged Friday with one count of attempted grand theft. The rapper's arraignment has been set for Oct. 10 but he is not required to appear if he has an attorney.

Photographer Daniel Ramos claims West punched him in an unprovoked attack and wrestled his camera to the ground during an incident at the airport on July 19.
Kanye West, 2 Chainz and Big Sean.
Prosecutors declined to file felony charges against West, but city prosecutors decided to pursue misdemeanor charges. Each carries a penalty of up to six months in jail or a $1,000 fine.

An email sent to West's record label for comment was not immediately returned.

West was raised in a middle-class household in Chicago, Illinois, and began rapping in the third grade, becoming involved in the city's hip hop scene. West attended art school for one semester before dropping out to pursue music entirely in the late 1990s. Although his real desire was to become a rapper, record executives did not take West seriously, viewing him as a producer first and foremost. After being signed to Roc-A-Fella in 2002, West released his debut album The College Dropout in 2004 to commercial and critical acclaim. The baroque-inspired Late Registration followed in 2005, and Graduation in 2007. West switched rapping for singing on his dark 2008 effort 808's & Heartbreak, and embraced maximalism on 2010's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Following several collaborations, West released his sixth album, Yeezus, in 2013.

He is closely associated with his mentor, media mogul Jay-Z.

His G.O.O.D. Music label signed on John Legend, Big Sean, Pusha T, and legendary rapper Q-Tip to his label. He's a rapper, producer, director and media mogul. He's known for his controversial antics while on camera.

Here's two controversial things from YouTube. His rant during a listening party for Pusha T.



And his video Blood On The Leaves.


Singing Hearts!

John Legend marries swimsuit model Chrissy Teigen.

John Legend is a married man. The American singer has officially married Chrissy Teigen in a wedding ceremony in Italy.

The legendary singer was one of the first artists signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music and Sony Music. 

He is a nine time Grammy award singer and entertainer. He also is a goodwill ambassador and a huge supporter and friend of President Barack Obama. 

Born John Roger Stephens (born December 28, 1978) in Springfield, Ohio. He is one of four children of Phyllis, a seamstress, and Ronald Stephens, a factory worker and former National Guardsman.

Paparazzi snapped the picture of the couple in Italy getting married. 
Throughout his childhood, Legend was homeschooled on and off by his mother. At age four, he began playing the piano and at age seven, he performed with his church choir. In 1987, when he was ten, his parents divorced. At the age of twelve, Legend attended North High School, from which he graduated four years later. Upon his salutatorian graduation, Legend was offered scholarships to Harvard University, Georgetown University and Morehouse College.

He attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied English with an emphasis on African American literature.

While in college, he helmed Counterparts, a co-ed jazz and pop a cappella group as president and musical director. Legend's lead vocals on the group's recording of Joan Osborne's "One of Us" received critical acclaim landing the song on the track list of the 1998 Best of Collegiate a Cappella compilation CD.

Legend was also a member of the prestigious senior societies Sphinx Senior Society and Onyx Senior Honor Society while an undergraduate at Penn. While in college, Legend was introduced to Lauryn Hill by a friend. Hill hired him to play piano on "Everything Is Everything", a song from her album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

During this period, Legend took time to hold a number of shows around Philadelphia, eventually expanding his audience base to New York, Boston, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C. He finished college in 1999, and thereafter began producing, writing, and recording his own music. He released two albums independently; his self-titled demo (2000) and Live at Jimmy's Uptown (2001), which he sold at his shows. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, Legend began working as a management consultant for the Boston Consulting Group.

During this time, he began working on his demo and began sending his work to various record labels.

In 2001, Devo Springsteen introduced Legend to then up-and-coming hip-hop artist Kanye West; Legend was hired to sing during the hooks of West's music. 
Common, Kanye West and John Legend.
After signing to West's label, he chose his stage name from an idea that was given to him by poet J. Ivy, due to what he perceived "old-school sound". J. Ivy stated, "I heard your music and it reminds me of that music from the old school. You sound like one of the legends. As a matter of fact, that's what I'm going to call you from now on! I'm going to call you John Legend." After J. Ivy continued to call him by the new moniker "John Legend," others quickly caught on, including Kanye West, and the name stuck. In spite of John's reluctance to change his stage name to John Legend he eventually announced his new artist name as John Legend.

People Magazine reports that John Legend and Chrissy Teigen made it official when they exchanged vows in front of friends and family in Lake Como, Italy on Saturday. 

The model bride wore a strapless ivory Vera Wang gown with an open back, lifted tulle skirt and hand-cut petal embroidered details, which she described to PEOPLE as "kind of [having] a sexier feel at the top, like a swimsuit, so I have to get my body ready. I have to buckle down." 

Teigen changed into another strapless ivory Vera Wang dress for the reception – the design featured a micro-pleated bodice and sheared organza full skirt. 

And at the after-party she had a third Vera Wang design of the night – a crimson strapless mermaid gown with a hand-draped bodice, inverted flange skirt and embroidered crystal wheat detail. 

The nuptials follow a seven-year courtship for the couple, who became engaged in 2011 while vacationing together in the Maldives. 

Earlier this year, Teigen, 27, told PEOPLE her Grammy-winning groom, 34, would perform his new song "All of Me" at the wedding, which was written for her. 

John Legend, Jamie Foxx, Nick Jonas and Seal perform at The White House. John Legend is a friend of Barack and Michelle Obama.
"He writes a lot of love songs, but this one is specifically about me so it makes it more special," Teigen told PEOPLE in May. "My Dad even cries when I play it for him in the car." 

The model bride was so careful about preparing her figure for the frock that her bachelorette party included Pilates classes. 

But despite her rigorous attention to her physique, she says she was much more laid-back about wedding planning overall. 

"[John] and I have been working and traveling so much that we just let our wedding planner do everything," Teigen told PEOPLE in May. "We're not neurotic about it. I just want to finally see all of my friends in one area." 

But she cops to being a bit more involved in one aspect of the wedding – the cake. 

"I'm not a big sweets person, which is why I'm really specific about the cake, which is going to be a really multi-layer cake," she told PEOPLE in June. "It's layers and layers of crepe and pastry creme in between with raspberry sauce." 

With the wedding behind them, perhaps now is the time the couple will start thinking about all those kids Legend told PEOPLE he wants. 

"We'd like to have kids," he said in May. "I grew up in a family with four kids, so I think three or four is a good number. We don't plan it. We just do it."

We here at Journal de la Reyna wish John Legend and Chrissy Teigen well. The Stephens are a perfect couple. Beautiful and very intelligent couple.

Everybody Hates Chris!


Washed up pop singer Chris Brown is up to his head up to water in another controversy. He's not only bringing attention to himself but the people who associate with him.

He and his on-and-off girlfriend fellow pop singer Rihanna have been irking the media for years!

Both celebrities are showing out in the public. Rihanna's topless and nude photos were leaked out.

Chris Brown gets into a heated exchange with a person on Twitter.

Comedian Jenny Johnson and Brown are feuding and it's gotten the attention of most of America.
Pictures leaked online of Rihanna naked.
Chris Brown can't escape his forever etched name in stone with domestic abuse. Since 2009, the pop singer has brought upon himself a whole of negative attention after he assaulted Rihanna (Robyn Fenty) before they were to perform at the Grammy Awards.

Chris Brown was given five years of probation for this incident. Since then, Brown had a few run ins with not only the media but the law.

Brown is currently engaged in a feud with Canadian rapper/singer Drake (Aubrey Graham). Drake dropped a verse about Rihanna and Chris Brown's feud and talked about his experience with her. Brown got into a fight with Drake in a New York club after they exchanged heated words at one another.

Jenny Johnson makes light of Chris Brown's problems. Brown caught wind of it! He first goes after her Jenny Johnson after a nasty Twitter exchange with Brown.

The 23-year-old singer responded to the comedian's tweets, in which she called him a "piece of sh*t," by telling her to perform oral sex on him and then threatened to defecate in her eye.

The Twitter feud resulted in Brown deactivating his Twitter account for a matter of hours, and in his absence some of his fans took it upon themselves to issue death threats to Johnson.

Jenny Johnson.
"Do u wanna know what im gonna do now ? Im gonna kill that Jenny Johnson for making Chris delete his twitter," wrote @NellyBreezy_, who also later deleted her own account."

Her sentiments were echoed by, @NinaBreezy16, who tweeted: "@JennyJohnsonHi5 whore bitch. if chris kill you i will have more respect of him .."

Likewise, anther fan using the handle @_Haineko_ wrote, "super mad right now if i see that jenny johnson i'll stab her to death."

And it's hard to believe, but a fan with the handle @rockykane9 wrote, "@JennyJohnsonHi5 I'M GONNA F*CKING RAPE & KILL YOU OLD WHORE F*CK"

Johnson hasn't been scared off by the numerous replies she's received, which have mostly told her to "eat a dick," but she did tweet that she's "alarmed" by how many death threats she's received and is encouraging everyone, "including @Twitter to look through them. Not cool."

Brown's fans have stuck by him no matter what, and some of the female members of Team Breezy, made headlines for tweeting statements, including " I'd let Chris Brown beat me up anytime ;) #womanbeater," and "Chris brown can beat me any dayyyyy damn he's so sexy," referencing his infamous assault on Rihanna in 2009.

And it's not the first time his fans have threatened someone who criticized him via Twitter. In May, Team Breezy made death threats against John Legend’s fiancée, model Chrissy Teigen, after she made comments about his performance at the Billboard Music Awards -- though to his credit, Brown actually asked his fans to stop sending death threats:

"Team Breezy! Lets stop sending death threats!" Brown tweeted back in May. "I know y'all bout that life but it's the wrong message! Ur turning haters into victims!"

So now his millions of stans are threatening people with death online!

Great. More controversy!

Add on the controversial pictures of a nude Rihanna and we have a real party going on around here.



TMZ reports that Chris Brown and Drake will NOT face criminal charges stemming from their alleged involvement in a massive nightclub brawl this summer in NYC -- law enforcement sources tell TMZ, there just isn't enough evidence to move forward with the case. According to law enforcement sources, the investigation into the bottle-smashing brawl at WIP nightclub on June 14th has been concluded and no criminal charges will be filed against Chris, Drake, or any member of their entourages. There will be no further investigation.

Michelle Obama Wowed The Crowd!

President Obama watches the first lady's speech with daughters.
The amazing speech from First Lady Michelle Obama. The media is loving every bit of her Democratic Convention Speech.

Even those asshats over at the opposition network, Fox News is even giving her slight praise.

Ann Romney couldn't wow a crowd. Her speech at the Republican National Convention was unmemorable.

With that said, we get the reaction from the White House where her husband President Barack Obama, his daughters Malia and Sasha were watching.

Barack Obama is an embattled president. His legacy was marred with obstruction by the Republicans and their allies in the conservative movement. The economy is improving but it's struggling because of the uncertainty of the global woes overseas. The U.S. Congress is stalled with continuous gridlock by legislators who refuse to concede when it comes to the president's request to raise taxes on millionaires. These Republican legislators supports the creed of the National Rifle Association, Grover Norquist, Club for Growth, American Crossroads, Rush Limbaugh and Fox News.

Media loved First Lady Michelle Obama's national convention speech.

Now as the Democratic National Convention enters its second day, people are amazed by San Antonio mayor Julián Castro and Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick. The speakers go after Republican nominee Mitt Romney as usual and demand the American voters place the blame solely on the Republican Party.

The Republicans obstruction is unprecedented. They made their case to deny the president a second term.

Their candidate will roll back progress. The Democratic speakers are demanding their supporters to help Barack Obama win the presidency.

The second day brings Vice President Joe Biden, former president Bill Clinton, women's rights advocate Sandra Fluke and special guests. Sandra Fluke was attacked by Rush Limbaugh earlier this year after she appeared at a congressional testimony in which she was pleading to Congressman Darrell Issa (R-California) about birth control of a friend. Limbaugh lambasted her and called her a slut and wanted to see a porn tape with her in it. That caused him to lose over a hundred endorsements.

According to CNN actresses Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman and Kerry Washington will appear at the Democratic National Convention. Each actress has worked with Republican National Convention speaker, famed actor/director Clinton Eastwood. They're suppose to be the counterpunch to Eastwood's famous and yet controversial speech in which he mocked an empty seat as President Barack Obama.

The Democrats are trying to bring forth diversity. They wanted to bring on former Republicans to dismiss the hype of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. A firefighter from Cincinnati appears onstage to dismiss the Ohio governor and his allied campaign on the SB 5 legislation in which it stripped the public sector unions of bargaining rights. It was repealed by a majority of voters in 2011. Lincoln Chafee, the independent governor of Rhode Island slammed his former party. Then Senator Chafee was a moderate Republican who stood firm against the War in Iraq and wanted to protect the environment. He lost to Sheldon Whitehouse in the 2006 U.S. Midterms. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-Rhode Island) reelection chances are higher than his fellow member Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) who decided to skip the Democratic National Convention.

Former U.S. Senate candidate and governor of Florida, Charlie Crist endorsed John McCain in 2008. Now the newly independent politician endorsed Barack Obama for president. He will be the headliner on the third night. He represents the counterpunch to Artur Davis, a former Alabama Democratic congressman and gubernatorial candidate who switched parties to possible return to Congress. Davis endorsed Barack Obama for president in 2008. He now endorses Mitt Romney for president.

Senator Joe Lieberman (I-Connecticut) wasn't at the Republican National Convention. I doubt he'll appear at the Democratic National Convention.

Former governor of Ohio Ted Strickland mocked Mitt Romney. He made the comment that if Mitt Romney was Santa Claus, he would fire the reindeer and outsource the elves. His money would vacation in the Cayman Islands in summer and spent Winter in Switzerland on the slopes. Strickland goes after his successor Republican Ohio governor John Kasich for his destructive overreach. This gives Ohio the toss up, yet again putting forth a bellwether for the president and Mitt Romney. Kasich was warned not to mention the improvements in the battleground state of Ohio because it defeats Romney's argument of a disappointing economy. Ohio unemployment is 7.2% lower than the national average.

Ted Kennedy's is a legend among the party faithful. The infamous 1994 U.S. Senate debate in which then a younger Mitt Romney wanted to win this seat. Kennedy mocked Romney on his flip-flopping. Kennedy stated he's pro-choice, Mitt Romney is multiple choice.

The Republicans are responding back to the speeches. They're saying that the president's allies aren't focused on jobs, but blaming either Bush, Romney or whomever to avoid the president's dismal record.
