I am sadden by the news of Prince passing away today. The junk food media confirms the news that the legendary entertainer passed away at his home in Paisley Park, Minnesota.
I am still reeling over the news of two major celebrities dying at the same time. We just learned that former WWE wrestler Chyna (Joanie Laurer) passed away at the age of 45. The news of her death was really shocking. I was a huge fan. She was an iconic model, actress and wrestling superstar.
Now the news of Prince passing away will overshadow everything.
TMZ broke the news about 30 minutes ago. Prince known legally as Prince Rogers Nelson -- had a medical emergency on April 15th that forced his private jet to make an emergency landing in Illinois. But he appeared at a concert the next day to assure his fans he was okay. His people told TMZ he was battling the flu.
He was 57 year old. He canceled his shows after complaining about an illness.
The news is traveling across the world.
As expected, President Barack Obama, Minnesota Governor Jonathan Dayton, Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) will be notified.
I know on a personal level that Prince was what I grew up on. I am an 80s baby. I am certainly amazed that I lived to hear such an iconic voice in our generation.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of this legend of rock, R&B, pop, and funk.
Heaven has a Prince. We will certainly miss him. His name will forever be etched in stone as one of the gods of music.
According to the junk food media, Prince was feeling extremely ill when he was finishing up a tour.
Prince Rogers Nelson passed away today. World News Today send our condolences to the family of this wonderful icon of pop/rock and R&B.
Prince was an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and actor and has been a major figure in popular music for over three decades. Prince is renowned as an innovator and is widely known for his eclectic work, flamboyant stage presence, and wide vocal range. He is widely regarded as the pioneer of Minneapolis sound. His music combines rock, R&B, soul, funk, hip hop, disco, psychedelia, jazz, and pop.
Prince was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and developed an interest in music at an early age, writing his first song at age seven. After recording songs with his cousin's band 94 East, 19-year-old Prince recorded several unsuccessful demo tapes before releasing his debut album For You in 1978, under the guidance of manager Owen Husney. His 1979 album Prince went platinum due to the success of the singles "Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?" and "I Wanna Be Your Lover". His next three records—Dirty Mind (1980), Controversy (1981), and 1999 (1982)—continued his success, showcasing Prince's trademark of prominently sexual lyrics and incorporation of elements of funk, dance, and rock music. In 1984, he began referring to his backup band as The Revolution and released Purple Rain, which served as the soundtrack to his film debut of the same name. A prolific songwriter, Prince in the 1980s wrote songs for and produced work by many other acts, often under pseudonyms.
After releasing the albums Around the World in a Day (1985) and Parade (1986), The Revolution disbanded and Prince released the critically acclaimed double album Sign "O" the Times (1987) as a solo artist. He released three more solo albums before debuting The New Power Generation band in 1991. He changed his stage name in 1993 to an unpronounceable symbol (), also known as the "Love Symbol". He then began releasing new albums at a faster pace to remove himself from contractual obligations to Warner Bros.; he released five records between 1994 and 1996 before signing with Arista Records in 1998. In 2000, he began referring to himself as "Prince" again. He has released 15 albums since then, including his latest, HITnRUN Phase One, which was first released exclusively on the Tidal streaming service on September 7, 2015 before being released on CD on September 15, 2015 by NPG Records.
Prince has sold over 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time.
He has won seven Grammy Awards,a Golden Globe, and an Academy Award.
He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, the first year of his eligibility.
Rolling Stone has ranked Prince at number 27 on its list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
Heaven's gift was a Prince. He leaves behind a son.
Ted Cruz is feuding with Sean Hannity. Hannity admits he gives softball interviews to Republicans.
Many in the junk food media say that the likelihood of Ted Cruz and John Kasich winning the Republican nomination is highly doubtful. Donald Trump's victory in New York pretty much stopped the momentum of both Cruz and Kasich.
Many Republicans are starting to warm up to Trump.
Cruz and Kasich vow to win the nomination and they are willing to take this to the Republican Convention.
Cruz and his staff are pretty upset with the junk food media giving Trump all this airtime. They had enough of the "all access" treatment from the world's most annoying conservative agitator to ever have a radio and/or television program. Ted Cruz had told his staff that he's done with Sean Hannity.
Hannity is the most annoying agitator in the junk food media. He is a Republican ass-kisser and a huge concern troll.
But that's my opinion. I want to know your opinion in this poll.
Is Sean Hannity The Most Annoying Agitator In The Junk Food Media?
According to the Cruz campaign, he seriously believes that Donald Trump's biggest supporters on the right are Laura Ingraham, The Drudge Report and Hannity.
Cruz got into a heated argument with Hannity. The video was posted on Hannity's official YouTube page.
Hannity admits to giving softball interviews to Donald Trump and Ted Cruz got fed up with the Texas senator talking in circles over his "voter-less" victories in Colorado and Wyoming.
Hannity even went as far to tell Cruz to stop deflecting the questions.
Media Matters for America got a portion of the transcript of the exchange.
SEAN HANNITY: I think the number one question on the minds of Republicans right now is what is going on with the delegates. For example, if you can explain to people that your campaign, that you have every right within the rules, to talk to candidates that are pledged on a first ballot, to Candidate A or Candidate C, you being Candidate B, and that -- tell us what that process is. You are assuming this is going to the convention, you told me that in the last two interviews. So as part of that, you’re hoping to get to a second ballot. In other words, in a second ballot people that support Donald Trump or John Kasich or Marco Rubio, if those delegates are still relevant, can then switch their votes. So you are in the process of talking to delegates and it seems to be very extensive. Can you explain to people what's going on?
TED CRUZ: Sean, with all respect, that's not what people are concerned about. I'm campaigning every day, people are concerned about bringing jobs back to America. People are concerned about raising wages. People are concerned about getting the federal government off the backs of small businesses, and people are concerned about beating Hillary. And the media loves to obsess about process, this process, and this whining from the Trump campaign, it's all silly. It's very, very simple --
HANNITY: Senator, I'm -- hang on a second, I'm on social media with millions of people. I have 550 radio stations, and I have the top rated cable show in my hour, all across the board. And I am telling you that people are telling me that they find this whole process confusing. You know, I can read the articles, for example, about -- you know, people want to know about what actually happened in Georgia this weekend, where people that have, I guess, on the first ballot are going to Donald Trump, but representatives of yours talked to them, and are persuading them to vote for you on a second ballot. That is an important question, because I think most of people would like to know how this works, and I'm really am asking you more than a process question. It's an integrity of the election question, and everybody's asking me this question. So I'm giving you an opportunity to explain it.
CRUZ: Sean, the only people asking this question are the hardcore Donald Trump supporters.
HANNITY: Why do you -- but senator, why do you do this? Every single time I -- no, you gotta stop. Every time I have you on the air, and I ask a legitimate question, you try to throw this in my face. I'm getting sick of it. I've had you on more than any other candidate, on radio and TV. So if I ask you senator, a legitimate question that would explain to the audience, why wouldn't you just answer it?
CRUZ: Sean, can I answer your question without being interrupted?
HANNITY: Go ahead.
CRUZ: In the last three weeks, there have been five elections in five states. Utah, North Dakota, WIsconsin, Colorado, Wyoming. We've won all five, over 1.3 million people voted in those five states, we won all five. All of this noise and complaining and whining has come from the Trump campaign, because they don't like the fact that they've lost five elections in a row, that Republicans are uniting behind our campaign, so they are screaming on Drudge, and it's getting echoed, this notion of voterless election. It is nonsense that they are making it up. Over 1.3 million people voted, we won landslides in all five. Now, there is a second component beyond the elections, which is the individual delegates are elected by the people. Donald Trump's campaign does not know how to organize on the grassroots.
The interview went viral and it's gotten so much attention. Hannity defended his interview with Cruz.
Hannity said that Cruz comes off as angry and desperate. Hannity respects Cruz as a champion of conservative causes, but even Hannity admits that Cruz has no chance of winning the nomination without stealing it in a contested convention. Hannity constantly tells his gullible audience that he's given more airtime to Republican candidates because he believes that they are infinitely better than Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders.
If you ask me, I believe Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and The Drudge Report will help the Democrats win the White House. Because of these entities, Barack Obama clobbered John McCain and perennial loser Mitt Romney in two landslides.
Hannity believes that Republicans failed in taking out Obama. Hannity seriously believes that Obama's "associations" to Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers and Al Sharpton should have defeated him.
Hannity believes that Hillary Clinton would be heading to federal time out for having classified emails on her secured personal server.
I believe that Hannity's days at Fox News are numbered. I predict that Sean Hannity will be fired out the cannon in 2017 if the Democrat nominee wins the White House.
Former WWE wrestler and actress Joanie Laurer passed away yesterday. Laurer is best known as Chyna. She was one of the ,most iconic women in wrestling.
Laurer first rose to prominence in the professional wrestling promotion the World Wrestling Federation in 1997, where she performed under the ring name Chyna and was billed as the "Ninth Wonder of the World" (André the Giant was already billed as the eighth). A founding member of the stable D-Generation X, she held the WWF Intercontinental Championship (the only female wrestler to do so) twice and the WWF Women's Championship once. She was also the first woman to participate in the Royal Rumble and King of the Ring events, as well as to become number one contender to the WWF Championship.
With singles victories over several prominent male wrestlers – including multiple-time world champions Triple H, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho and Jeff Jarrett.
Chyna has left "a lasting legacy as the most dominant female competitor of all time".
After leaving the WWE in 2001, Chyna wrestled sporadically, with New Japan Pro Wrestling in 2002 and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in 2011.
Triple H, Shawn Michaels and Chyna when they were a part of the D-Generation X.
Outside of wrestling, Laurer appeared in Playboy magazine twice, as well as numerous television shows and films. In 2005, Laurer was a cast member on VH1's The Surreal Life, which led to several other celebrity reality appearances on the network, including The Surreal Life: Fame Games in 2007 and Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew in 2008. She is also known for her tumultuous relationship with fellow wrestler Sean Waltman, with whom she made a sex tape released commercially in 2004 as 1 Night in China, which won a 2006 AVN Award for Best-Selling Title. She starred in a further five pornographic titles, including AVN's 2012 Best Celebrity Sex Tape, Backdoor to China.
Police in Redondo Beach, California, confirm that Laurer, 45, was found dead in her apartment on Wednesday. Police say they were notified by a friend who went to check on her and found Laurer unresponsive. The cause of death is under investigation, but police say there are no signs of foul play.
"It is with deep sadness to inform you that we lost a true icon, a real life superhero. Joanie Laurer aka Chyna, the 9th wonder of the world, has passed away," said a post on her website.
World News Today send our condolences to the family of Joanie "Chyna" Laurer. You will be missed among those in the wrestling world.
Jennifer Aniston appears on People's Most Beautiful Again!
Here we go again. I'm getting so freaking tired of this. I am sure glad that People Magazine decides on who's beautiful. Once again, the cover graces another celebrity who isn't....well you know.
Jennifer Aniston, once again graces the cover of the Most Beautiful Women for 2016.
Not saying much other than my usual rant over how it just continues to embrace White actors and actresses on the cover of that tabloid trash.
Beauty is skin deep and I want you to know who I really think should embrace the cover of People.
I mean there were only four people of color who graced the cover of People's Most Beautiful.
Halle Berry
Beyonce
Jennifer Lopez
Lupita Nyong'o
Matter of fact, they haven't have a man of color or a plus size woman grace the cover of People.
I am utterly disappointed once again in People and they way they cover celebrities.
I am not a fan of the junk food media. Celebrity agitation is a part of the junk food media.
Canada is looking forward to the future. It's going green. The country is considering legalizing marijuana and it's winning praise in the U.S.
Our neighbor to the north trying to rid itself of the awful legacy of the former conservative prime minister Stephen Harper. The progressives are taking over. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is working overtime and is build bridges with President Barack Obama.
Trudeau said that legislation is well on the way. He said that recreational marijuana could be a reality in the Commonwealth.
Trudeau smoked weed back in his younger days. He's hoping that Parliament will pass a law assuring that any Canadian would not face prison time for smoking the sticky icky.
Washington, Colorado, Alaska, Oregon and the District of Columbia have legalized the weed.
President Barack Obama and some of his staff will meet with marijuana legalization advocates.
They have petition heavily for support of legalization of recreational marijuana. Many other states are pushing for legalization.
Harriet Tubman is going to be honored on the $20 U.S. bill. Conservatives act a fool when the news broke.
The conservatives are going bananas over the announcement of Harriet Tubman being featured on the $20 U.S. dollar.
U.S. Secretary of Treasury Jack Lew decided that the time is now. He decided to scrap the idea of having Alexander Hamilton replaced on the $10 U.S. dollar. He decided that it's time to replace Old Hickory.
She will replace Andrew Jackson. The denomination is the most commonly bartered currency in the United States.
The changes were announced Wednesday by the Treasury as part of a historic overhaul of U.S. currency aimed at addressing America’s legacy of slavery and gender inequality.
Cue the conservative outrage.
Removing a white from $20 bill to replace with a mudskin is an act of #WarOnWhites. Wake up, white man.#HarrietTubman
The bile is so unbelieveable. The trolls underneath the bandwidth bridge makes the Republican Party look really bad. Matter of fact, Republicans face a huge deficit in rounding up minority voters.
These are the Donald Trump voters. These are the people glued to Rush Limbaugh, Fox News and The Drudge Report. These are the people who may be your friends, co-workers or your neighbors.
And they seem to be clueless on American history.
Pathetic Republicans and their hateful ass agenda.
Mother Moses fought hard for the freedom of all. She deserves the honor of being on American currency.
