  • Ciara and Family Pose in New Maternity Shoot

    Ciara, Russell Wilson and Toddler Future were all smiles in a family maternity photo shoot. Well, technically, we can’t really tell if Wilson is smiling—because you can’t see his head.

    As we all know by now, Donald Trump claims he was wiretapped by former President Barack Obama. As we all know by now, Trump is uncouth, psychotic, sexist, racist and, unfortunately, the current president. Who knows what we’d hear on a Trump wiretap.
