Saturday Night Live Officially Hires Black Female Comedian, Sasheer Zamata
Saturday Night Live were holding private auditions, in the hopes of recruiting a black female cast member to it’s popular NBC show. On Monday, Deadline confirmed that the network had announced Sasheer Zamata as it’s newest member. Sasheer will make her debut on its next live show (January 18) with Drake as host and musical guest. Reportedly, the University of Virginia grad trained at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York. She’s now become the first black female Saturday Night Live cast member in five years since the departure of Maya Rudolph. A few months ago, SNL caught heat when Kenan Thompson (an African American male SNL’er) blamed a lack of quality black comediennes. He told TV Guide:

It’s just a tough part of the business, like in auditions. They never find ones that are ready.
In December, we learned that the show held an audition showcase featuring only African American women.

SNL nor Sasheer have yet to confirm the news. Cosmo named her on it’s 13 Funny Women to Watch in 2014. Congrats!

Interracial Couple Find "Jungle Fever" Written On Valet Ticket [PHOTOS]
An interracial husband and wife out of East Point, GA were unamused to find their valet ticket had been used to reference their color contrast after dining a restaurant on New Year's Day.
Sam and Candea Aaron have been married for 13 years and say they have never felt targeted for racism like they did when they made the trek to Spondivits by way of Columbus, GA. After enjoying their meal, the Aaron's returned to their car to see "jungle fever" sprawled on the tag, as a way of identifying the couple's vehicle.
"I was very pleased with the service and I gave them a nice tip," said Sam Aaron who is currently a Sergeant Major in the United States Army recently returned from a Kuwait deployment. "For you to take the time and put a hole in our tag to ensure that we see it...really???" his wife chimed in.
The owner of the Spondivits urged that racism was nowhere tolerated at his business but was quick to point out that the valet attendant was immediately terminated and the offending company, APS Valet are actually contracted out by his business.
In a company statement, Chef Glen Gagne said "The fact that they made such a swift decision to terminate supports my confidence in our valet company. They, like Spondivits, have a ZERO tolerance for racism."
The Aaron's weren't satisfied and reportedly turned down a gift certificate for a future dinner to Spondivits. Candea Aaron said, "I feel really, really uncomfortable," in regards to the peace-offering refusal.

UGH!!! Kim Kardashian & Blac Chyna POSING & POSTING BOOTY & BREAST Shots
You know you've made it into Kim Kardashian's intimate circle when she starts including you in her selfies.  On Instagram, Kim shared a "bootylicious" pic of her and Blac Chyna, posing in the bathroom, with her 12 million followers.  We're not hating....but one (or maybe both) of those rear ends might be fake.  We're just saying.....
The ex-sex tape star and retired-from-the-pole stripper also shared a gratuitous "chest" shot. Again...one (or maybe both) might be fake.  In addition to working out, shopping and dining together, it seems as though Kim and Blac Chyna has established a genuine friendship.  We wonder if Ms. Tyga has asked Kim for advice on promoting her new clothing label?


Lil Kim Threatened With Lawsuit Over Zombie Artwork
Last November, brows were raised when artist Samantha Ravndahl accused Lil Kim of stealing her artwork and using it to promote her music via social networks. Ravndahl's  discrepancy seemed like a solvable issue, but apparently, that  wasn't the case, as she's ready to take the Brooklyn rapper to court.
Reports TMZ:
Lil' Kim is 2-faced, according to an artist who claims Kim has jacked the punim she made famous ... and she's going after the rapper in a big way.
Canadian artist Samantha Ravndahl lashed out at Kim on social media websites in November for lifting her scary image off Reddit, then using it on the Lil' Kim website and Instagram accounts to promote her music.
Ultimately, it looks like Kim blew off  Samantha, so now the artist has lawyered up and fired off a letter to the rapper demanding Kim pull the image ... or else.
The "or else" is suing Kim for $150K minimum.
Now, the shoe is on the other foot, as Lil Kim has accused Nicki Minaj of swagger jacking. At the time, she even went as far as to say, "If you are going to steal my swag, you gonna have to pay." My how things have changed.



AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
‘ALL HAIL THE TAIL!’
It would save you the time of growing that thing if you’d just wear a big sign that says “I’m weird and probably smell funny.


HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!
