OHIO STATE BUCKEYES ARE THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!
Ohio State 42Oregon 20 

Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 246 yards and four touchdowns, and Ohio State won the first national title in college football's playoff era, running over Oregon 42-20.
Elliott scored three straight times in the second half for the Buckeyes, seeded fourth in the four-team bracket, after the Ducks pulled within a point in the third quarter.
The Buckeyes overcame four turnovers to give Urban Meyer his first title in his third season at Ohio State after he won two championships at Florida under the old BCS system.
Cardale Jones, who started the season as Ohio State's third-string quarterback, accounted for two scores as the Buckeyes won their fifth national championship.
Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota threw a touchdown pass on the opening drive, but couldn't lead the second-seeded Ducks to their first national title.


Claudia Jordan Blasts Nene Leakes As A ‘Basic Bish’ After She Insults Her Biracial Background
On Sunday night’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Claudia Jordan finally showed viewers the embarrassing foot problem she’d been keeping under wraps, and later tangled with NeNe Leakes, who called her a “half-breed.”

Via RadarOnline reports:
As the episode began, Jordan visited a foot surgeon, telling the cameras that because of playing sports, she suffers “from a very serious problem that affects a lot of women out there” and has “wreaked havoc on [her] feet.”

Jordan said her toes are “disgusting” and “look like snowcapped mountains.”
Pal Kenya Moore screamed when she saw Jordan’s nasty feet, which displayed corns on the toes and a bunion on one foot.

Dr. Jason Morris suggested a surgical boot for the former Price is Right hostess.
But a problem that hasn’t been solved is the feud between Jordan, 41, and Leakes, 47, which boiled over during a housewives’ trip to Puerto Rico.

Newbie Demetria McKinney clashed all episode with Phaedra Parks, and over a girls’ dinner, Jordan took McKinney’s side, saying the others were “b*tchy and catty.”
As Radar previously previewed, the two got into a heated fight, with Leakes saying Jordan had slept with many men.

For her part, Jordan called Leakes “the puppet master.”
“You wish you had what I have in the bank, darling,” Leakes — who loves to boast, “I’m rich, b*tch!” — told her new reality rival.
Jordan said she’d worked for 17 years and didn’t “have to get on a pole” — a brash dig at Leakes’ admitted stripper past.

Leakes sneered, “You filed [for] bankruptcy, girl.”
“I’ve never been arrested,” Jordan pointed out to Leakes, whose mug shots have been well-circulated.

Leakes admitted, “I was arrested in my 20s, when I was in college,” and added, “I was a stripper and I liked it. That was 20 years ago.”
Leakes charged that Jordan had been “f*cked by everybody in Hollywood” and called her rival a racial slur referring to bi-racial people: a “half-breed.”

In the aftermath of Burruss’ friend Gocha claiming she’d dated McKinney’s boyfriend Roger Bobb, McKinney told Kandi Burruss, “I’m over it.”
Claudia took to her Twitter account during the episode to blast Nene’s disgusting name calling and read her for filth on social media:
Many fans of the show added insult to injury and continued to go in on Nene as well:
Do you think Nene was wrong for her comments about Claudia’s biracial ethncicity??

The singer — best known for his duet “Love Me Harder” with Ariana Grande — was instantly hauled off to jail for battery of a protected person.
After he was bailed out … Weeknd posted a pic of himself boarding a private jet with the caption, “escaped from Las Vegas.”


Foxy Brown Set To Appear On “EMPIRE” Series 
Looks like Foxy Brown is making a sort of comeback in 2015.

Now we know why the “Ill Na Na” raptress was front-and-center (in her throwback ensemble) at Lee Daniels’ big premiere “Empire” party last month. Chick copped herself a role in the hip-hop dynasty drama and she seems ready to make her primetime television debut.

In an Instagram post, Foxy snapped a screenshot of a text conversation with the "Empire" series creator Lee Daniels, confirming her on-screen appearance, which went a little something like this:
Foxy captioned, "EMPIRE DYNASTY!!!!!!!! @TheOriginalBigDaddy THE MASTERMIND HAS OFFICIALLY SPOKEN! Now Y'all See Why The KING BITCH Moves In Silence GAME OVER! #FOXonFOX!" Hmm...wonder who she will be playing and if it will be a recurring role.
Also, she’s not the only rapper making cameos on the FOX drama series. Snoop Dogg is also set for a guest-starring role as himself. He’s expected to appear in Episode 11 of Season 1, according to reports.

Congrats to them!

So WAIT now 50 cent is trying to STAR ON Empire NOW?
Lee Daniels Says 50 Cent Is Attempting To Guest Star On Empire

The ratings are in for FOX’s new Hip-Hop drama Empire and it has everyone’s undivided attention. Including 50 Cent’s, who has openly blasted the show’s marketing techniques as he felt it likened to his similar-themed Starz series, Power.
Empire star Taraji P. Henson had a few choice words to refute the star rapper’s claims, which he happily replied to, but behind closed doors, it seems that 50 may be secretly trying to latch on to a good thing. Series director Lee Daniels told Hip-Hop Wired at the show’s premiere event that Curtis Jackson himself has been calling him directly in attempts to guest star on the show.
“Oh 50, he didn’t even see the show,” Daniels replied when questioned about 50’s critiques of the promotional commercials. “I just talked to him two weeks ago and he said was gonna come guest star. He’s just trying to start some mess.”

Essentially, this is the equivalent of 50 Cent’s 2003 conquering of Ja Rule’s singing, only to turn around and have a #1 hit with the R&B-tinged “21 Questions.” Nonetheless, Daniels understands the overall marketing ploy and feels like it’s all in the spirit of competition.
That’s what I love about 50,” Daniels continued with a smile. “He’s just trying to get viewers [to watch] Power.”


Is Meek Mill Blowing Nicki Minaj’s Back Out?
Nicki Minaj has a new album out, while Meek Mill‘s long delayed project should be dropping sooner than later.

Here is evidence that Meek Mill just may be blowing Nicki’s back out. 
FREE ADVICE: If your girlfriend is hanging around rappers, she ain’t your girlfriend, bruh LOL!

If You care! Raz B Producing B2K Rockumentary & SexTape Details
Raz B broke the news on social media that his B2K rockdoc ‘B2K Unchained’ was already mastered and in the can.
The film jacket reads
“Featuring unreleased B2K footage from the private collections of former B2K member Raz B. Witness B2K live in this personally recorded moments together outside of the limelight through their journey in Europe.
“Share these experiences with your friends and family as B2K have in the past. Journey with them
Vibe reports
Omarion and his girlfriend Apryl Jones—both of whom starred in the Hollywood installment of Love & Hip Hop—watched proudly as his first child, Megaa, celebrated his first Christmas. Lil Fizz, Omarion’s fellow LHHH star, is also focused on being a doting dad to his son, Kameron, and working on new music. J Boog proved that the brotherhood is still going strong by having lunch with both of them about a week ago. Then there’s Raz B, who a year after scaring us with coma rumors is sharing his family jewels far and wide for the world to see.
A sex tape starring the seemingly estranged B2K crooner and an unnamed gal pal has officially hit the net. The flick was reportedly filmed in China, where Raz is spearheading several business ventures and running his own club. Although he’s partaking in several sex acts, the singer doesn’t look as into it as one would think. If you wish to expose your eyes to a shacking Raz for almost three minutes, you can find it on WorldStar.

This just adds on to the pile of internet scandals following Raz B’s name. In addition to the coma hoax, Raz had a public fallout with Marques Hourson and made several messy molestation claims against record producer, Chris Stokes.

Saks Fifth Avenue Has Legal Right To Discriminate Against Transgenders
Can they discriminate against Racial Minorities too??
Via Slate reports: In December 2014, Saks Fifth Avenue responded to a sex discrimination lawsuit filed by Leyth O. Jamal, a former employee at a Saks store in Texas who claims she was harassed, then fired, for being a trans woman. Saks could have fought Jamal’s suit by insisting that her claims of harassment are false, or that she was terminated for reasons unrelated to her gender. But instead, Saks has claimed that it has a legal right to discriminate against trans employees based on their trans status.

This tactic is quite odd, for two reasons. First, it is morally repulsive. Saks misgenders Jamal throughout its filings, referring to her as “he” and “him.” Even worse, when Saks quotes Jamal’s own complaint, it adds a stinging “[sic]” after every reference to Jamal as female, as if to assert that Jamal’s identification as a woman is factually incorrect. Saks, then, not only appears to condone discrimination against trans people; it also seems to refuse to accept the validity of a trans identity at all.

But Saks’ trans-bashing legal strategy is bizarre for a second, more important reason: It’s legally untenable. Saks claims flatly that “it is well settled that transsexuals are not protected by Title VII” of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This is, quite simply, untrue. Although the Supreme Court has not yet ruled that Title VII’s ban on sex discrimination covers gender identity, it has concluded that irrational sex stereotyping may qualify as discrimination “based on sex.” Following this judgment, several appeals courts have concluded that sex stereotyping includes trans discrimination and expanded Title VII’s protections to trans employees. Moreover, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ruled unequivocally in 2012 that Title VII forbids anti-trans discrimination—and while the EEOC’s rulings aren’t binding on courts, they’re generally afforded significant deference. Finally, the Justice Department itself interprets Title VII to cover “transgender status [and] gender identity.”

Given these developments, it’s just plain wrong to claim, as Saks does, that “it is well settled” that Title VII does not protect trans people. If anything, the opposite is true: It is increasingly well settled that Title VII does protect trans people. Even if Saks disputes that proposition, it should at least grapple with it, explaining why two federal appeals courts, the EEOC, and the Justice Department are wrong. Instead, Saks ignores the issue completely, disregarding an overflowing bucket of case law in order to assert, rather callously, that it has every legal right to harass and fire trans employees, at least in the state of Texas.

Do you think Saks should be able to discriminate trans people because they are not protected bu Title VII?
