A sheriff in Tennessee insinuated that Beyoncé’s “Say it loud, I’m black and I’m proud” performance at the Super Bowl is inspiring violence against law enforcement, NBC News reports. (She didn’t perform the James Brown song, but that was essentially the inspiration.) “With everything that’s happened since the Super Bowl, and with law enforcement as a whole,…

Well, well, well. Little Ms. Taylor Swift has learned the art of shade.   It all started with a lyric from Kanye West’s song “Famous” that’s on his new album, The Life of Pablo.  “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that bitch famous,” West rapped. He was referring to…

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia—a relentless conservative if ever there was one—made his journey home Saturday morning, enabling President Obama to appoint yet another judge to the highest court in our land.
