“One Of The Absolute Nicest Men On The Planet” – Flavor Flav Speaks Out For Jelly Roll After He Quit Social Media Due To Bullying Over His Weight

Now the internet has gone too far. Of course we all know what a cesspool social media can be. I learned a long time ago not to read the comments, so whenever people have something to say about whatever I write or say on social media, it's basically just yelling into the void because I'm not going to read it. I don't know what it is about social media that makes people feel comfortable with saying horrible things about each other, including people they've never met, but that's the unfortunate reality these days. Probably because there aren't any consequences for being a shitty person. Well Bunnie Xo recently revealed that her husband, Grammy-nominated country superstar Jelly Roll, had left social media because he was tired of being bullied about his weight. "My husband got off the internet because he is so tired of being bullied about his f*cking weight. And that makes me want to cry because he is the sweetest angel baby. My husband doesn't show it to you guys, but I'm gonna have a very vulnerable moment here. It hurts him." Jelly Roll has also been open about his struggles with weight loss. He's reportedly working with renowned bio hacker Gary Brecka, who set a goal to help the country star drop 250 pounds in 14 months. The “Halfway To Hell” singer wanted to become more fit, and one of the goals he set not too long ago was to participate in and finish an upcoming 2 Bears 5K charity run, which is hosted by comedians Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer. Jelly Roll wanted to make sure he was prepared for the event, and told People that he was taking his training very seriously: “I’m probably down 70-something pounds. I’ve been really kicking ass, man. I’m doing two to three miles a day, four to six days a week. I’m doing 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, six minutes in a cold plunge every day. I’m eating healthy right now.” That's definitely something he should be praised for, not bullied about. And one of Jelly Roll's friends, Flavor Flav, is sticking up for him amidst the bullying. The rapper, DJ and reality TV star took to social media with a message to those who would jump online to mock or criticize Jelly Roll over his weight: "How dare y'all try to judge my man about his weight and his character... This man's music has been giving a lot of people hope that's stranded in the streets, locked up in jails, people that's on drugs. And let me tell you something. On a personal note, Jelly Roll is one of the nicest, I mean one of the absolute nicest men on the planet that y'all would ever want to know. And a lot of people would love to be like Jelly Roll. So for all of y'all that's trying to judge my boy Jelly Roll, I think y'all need to take a step back and judge yourselves. Because y'all judging him is not going to stop him from being successful. Power to you, Jelly Roll." Amen.

LSU Baseball Fan Takes Home Run To The Dome: “Hole In The Glove, Man”

This right here is a really tough look. Going to the ballpark, whether it be a college game or an MLB contest, is always a great time. And if you've ever sat in a seat where a foul ball or a home run could land, that increases the excitement level of the event. It's always fun to have the chance to snag a free souvenir. Some people (mostly children) even bring a baseball glove to the ballpark. Might as well be equipped to catch a baseball the correct way if one comes rocketing your way, right? And there's really nothing wrong with that. However, if you a) have a glove and b) are a fully grown adult, you better pony up and catch a ball if it comes your way. Kids get a pass if they miss out on catching a homer or a foul ball, but if you are an old man with a glove at a game, that mitt simply has to come down with a baseball inside of it. Tragically, the exact opposite thing happened when an older, glove-toting LSU Tiger fan tried to catch a home run ball in the outfield. He was in perfect position, and I mean perfect, when a laser of a home run came right towards him. The man stood up, put his glove in the air, and readied himself to allow for his plan to come together. Then the home run ball hit him square in the forehead. The ding of the metal bat is all you need to hear to know that baseball was traveling at a terrifying speed. It got out of the ball park fast, but it tattooed the old guy in the face even faster. The best part about it all is that the call of the game didn't even mention the man holding his forehead in agony. And the caption for the post also didn't bother mentioning the possibly concussed LSU fan. In fact, it kind of sounds like they were making fun of him: "Get off the tracks when the train is coming through." https://twitter.com/LSUbaseball/status/1782954670316814718 First off, I hope that guy is okay. There's no telling how bad of a headache and how big of a welp that baseball to the face left that man with. Second off, you have to catch that ball if you bring a glove. Everything lined up perfectly, and he let the moment get the best of him. Like the caption of the post alluded to, maybe he should have gotten out of the way of the "train" that was barreling right towards him. The mid-game interview was the best part... this dude is a character: https://twitter.com/pat_timlin/status/1782963096039899390 Hopefully that man is recovering from his injury and doing well, though I can assure him that he won't be made to feel better looking at the responses to his mishap on social media:

Everything Coming To (& Leaving) Netflix – May 2024

Ready to replace "Spring Cleaning" with "Spring Binging?" That sounds a lot better to me, especially with the slate of new movies, TV shows, documentaries, and originals that are set to hit Netflix next month. There are a couple of highlights I see that I'll definitely be adding to my list, and strangely enough, there are also a handful of live events coming to the streaming service in May. "The Roast of Tom Brady" should be a lot of fun, but the thing I think I'm looking forward to most is Jerry Seinfeld's ode to Poptarts, which is titled Unfrosted. But that's just me. There's probably a plethora of programming you'll be looking forward to checking out when the calendar flips. Here’s everything coming to (and leaving) Netflix next month: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0ftYukqY3c

Yellowstone’s Cole Hauser Teases Upcoming Projects With Matthew McConaughey & 50 Cent

A snippet of what is in store for Yellowstone. Cole Hauser seems like he is the only one who has intel about what is happening with the future of the show, but even his insight still does not give when the end of the modern-day Western will be on our TV screens. Lainey Wilson and Kelly Reilly noted that they had "absolutely no clue" what is going on with the show earlier this month, and Kevin Costner, after pulling out of the show, notes that he'd potentially like to return. While fans (including myself) weren't even sure if the second half of season five would ever see the light of day, we were still keeping our fingers and toes crossed that we would. Cole Hauser recently shared information with Whiskey Riff during a recent sit-down that filming is at least set to resume soon. While chatting about exciting projects in the works, Hauser noted that giving fans a conclusion to the show was one of his priorities. "My intention is to make sure we finish 'Yellowstone' strong, you know. This is the last season of that. I start in about 3 weeks. I just want to make sure that Taylor, Kelly, Luke, Wes, myself, everybody that has been a part of this show that we just end it. That is probably my focus, but there's a ton of other stuff going that I'm excited about."  But even though Hauser wants to focus on that, he has a laundry list of projects he is working on. With how much he has lined up, the face of Free Rein Coffee is truly embodying their "Get Up & Get After It" motto. Two that stood out to me were projects with Matthew McConaughey and 50 Cent. Hauser and McConaughey have a longstanding friendship that dates back to their Dazed and Confused days. Hauser even referred to him as his "brother from another mother," which is fitting for what the two are softly working on. "We are working on something quietly...we are pretty excited about it, too. It will be a movie, it's about brothers."  And while the project with 50 Cent is a little more under wraps, it sounds as though "There's actually, this is kind of cool, there's one with 50 Cent and I. He owns the urban world, you know, and I kind of run the country world. So, it would be cool to find something together we can do. And so we are working on that.  Yeah, just a lot of good sh*t." He's not wrong, outside of Yellowstone, he does have a lot of good sh*t going on. Personally, I can't wait to see what these two projects look like, and I hope we get more information about them sooner rather than later. In the meantime, everyone adores his character Rip Wheeler from Yellowstone, so you might as well enjoy a montage while you are here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXWwlMhX2gg&t=6s

Florida Man Runs Over 11-Foot Alligator With His Car To Save His Neighbor’s Life

What's the only thing more dangerous than an alligator? The answer is the darnedest, most vicious creature on the planet. The Florida Man. Thanks to some quick instincts from a man that calls Florida home, another Floridian is alive and doing as well as he can be after being attacked by an 11-foot alligator. And the story is so absurd, there's really no other state that this could have happened in. This dramatic, what-the-hell-is-happening encounter occurred in the beautiful (and apparently alligator infested) city of Naples, Florida. One man by the name of Walter Rudder was driving home and had made it to his neighborhood when he spotted one of his neighbors in quite the sticky situation. Rick Fingeret, another Florida man, was rolling around on the ground and waving his arms as best as he could to waive down help. Fingeret had an alligator latched on to his leg and needed to break free as the powerful reptile attempted to drag the man into a nearby pond. Luckily for him, his superhero neighbor Walter was there to save the day. Rick was reportedly poking and prodding at the gator in an attempt to get away, but he was having no luck at all. Walter was in his vehicle watching it all unfold, and knew he had to act fast in order to save his neighbor. So he revved up his vehicle and pressed on the gas. Rudder might not have thought it all the way through, though then again, there wasn't much time to think. One man had an alligator hanging from his leg and needed to be freed as soon as possible. So Walter Rudder ran over the back half of the massive alligator. When the friendly, neighborhood Florida man ran over the gator, it shocked it enough for its jaws and sharp teeth to unlatch from Rick Fingeret's leg. Rick was then able to get away from the scaly creature, and later had his injuries treated at a nearby hospital. So to make a long story short, always be on the lookout for alligators if you live in Florida, and also make sure to make friends with your neighbors. You might not know them all that well, but they could very well save your life one day if a gator's got you by the leg.

Tiger Woods To Be Paid $100 Million As “PGA Tour Enterprises” Rewards Players For Being Loyal To The Tour

The PGA Tour is getting PAID. In a move that's basically the PGA Tour's combat against LIV Golf, "PGA Tour Enterprises" has been launched, which basically gives players that stayed loyal to the tour (instead of defecting) a stake in the organization. That "ownership" also grants PGA players the opportunity to receive future and immediate equity, which totals over $1.5 billion. Here's how the payouts appear to be shaking out for some the biggest stars in golf: -Tiger Woods: $1oo million -Rory McIlroy: $50 million -Justin Thomas: $30 million -Jordan Speith: $30 million https://twitter.com/PGATOUR/status/1752717335209619878 The commissioner of the PGA Tour, Jay Monahan, sent out an email to the 193 eligible recipients that will act to "notify them of the current value of award grants." Millions of dollars are set to be paid out to current and former PGA Tour players, and it will reportedly be done by categorizing golfers into four different groups. Group 1 will be the biggest names on the tour and have the largestt payouts, while Group 2 is reserved for those "steady" players and future stars on the tour. Group 3 will see rewards doled out based upon tournaments won and career earnings, and in a really cool revelation, Group 4 will be made up of past PGA Players. It's expected that $75 million will be spread out among "legends" of the game (based on career points). Because its still early, no one really knows what this means in the PGA Tour and LIV Golf feud (even though a weird merger was announced way back when). Obviously, those that made the move to LIV are still making more money, but this is the first time that PGA players have tangibly been rewarded for staying loyal to the PGA. https://twitter.com/PGATOUR/status/1752844587641549141

“My Life Insurance Covers Suicide” – Jimmie Allen Recalls Almost Ending His Life Amid Sexual Assault Allegations

Jimmie Allen has had quite the backslide in the past year as he's fought serious allegations of sexual assault. It all started back in May of 2023 when his former manager sued the country artist for sexual assault and sexual battery. Not long after that, his entire world and career fell apart, as he was dropped from his record label, divorced by his wife, welcomed twins with another woman (who was also married), and faced other serious allegations from other women who came out accused him of sexual assault as well. He has since settled the sexual assault lawsuit, but that didn't exactly bring him back into the good graces of the music industry. Allen is still trying to put together the pieces, and a recent interview with Kathie Lee Gifford is a step to try and tell his side of the story and revitalize his image. Gifford admitted as such. The former Today show host, said early on in the interview that her goal with the sit down was to make people "fall in love" again with the country singer. She's a friend of Allen's, and that was clear as they worked their way through the conversation. She inquired about what exactly started to unravel Allen's career. He responded by saying this: "I would say... definitely women. But it was searching for instant gratification from women that offered it, even though it was temporary." That's not exactly a surprise answer. Allen was emotional throughout the interview, especially when he spoke on the moment that the allegations came out. He confesses to cheating on his wife, but vehemently denies the allegations of sexual assault. The "Down Home" singer wiped away tears as he discussed how his life came crashing down: "I remember sitting there and I literally felt like the whole world had just collapsed. Because the first thing my brain goes to is not really my career, but it's, 'How am I gonna provide for my kids?' I had three then, May 11 of 2023. And I'm thinking, 'How do I provide for my family?'" He now has six children with three different women, including a set of twins who he had with a longtime fan who was also married at the time of conception. "I had seen shows canceled, TV shows we were working on get canceled, movie canceled, book deals... I had an ice cream in stores, gone. I had a sneaker deal, gone." He was in a dark place, and he unfortunately could only think of one thing that could potentially solve the issue: "I'm thinking, 'How am I going to provide for my family?' And then it hit me. My life insurance covers suicide. And I don't feel that way now, but in that moment, when you feel like you have nothing... in the midst of a society where it’s no longer innocent until proven guilty. 'She said this, so it must be true.'" Jimmie went on to say that he got very close to going through with it. Beforehand, he moved all of the evidence he claimed contradicted all of the sexual assault claims to one phone, and started loading bullets into his gun clip. It was right then when he says he miraculously got a notification that a friend texted him (since he doesn't ordinarily receive notifications to his phone) and saved his life: "My friend Chuck text me and he said, 'Ending it isn't the answer.' And when I read those words that he text me, I read 'em again. 'Ending it isn't the answer.' I just stopped. I called one of my buddies and he came up and I gave him my gun, my mom flew in... and I started receiving phone calls from different artists checking in on me. Some of the biggest actors in Hollywood, who I have never met started calling me. And then as the week went on, there were people that I expected to hear from, and I didn't. And that's what hurt." He went on to say that one particular artist, who he claims he helped to get a record deal, never contacted him and unfollowed him on social media: "I remember making calls and getting this artist a record deal. This artist ended up winning CMA Entertainer of the Year. This was someone I thought knew me, because I knew this person before I got a deal, and to not hear from them and to see them automatically unfollow me on Instagram, that's what hurt. And what I've learned is, they might've known me, but I didn't know them. I didn't think it would hurt as much as it did." Not hard to figure out who he's talking about... It was a long and emotional conversation, and of course just Jimmie's side of the story, but you can watch more of it below: https://youtu.be/1JmvM8G355Y?si=3o1kqGucaDfXm2kc&t=1295

Oklahoma Hunter Facing 12 Years In Prison In Turks & Caicos After Accidentally Leaving 4 Bullets In His Luggage

Terrible situation... An Oklahoma man is behind bars in Turks & Caicos and facing 12 YEARS in prison after airport security found 4 bullets that he had inadvertently left in his luggage. 40-year old Ryan Watson and his wife Valerie were on the island for a friend's 40th birthday, and as they were going through security to leave, a small bag of bullets was found in his luggage. Ryan, an avid hunter, says that he immediately recognized the ammo from a recent deer hunting trip. "I recognized them and thought, 'what a bonehead mistake.' I had no idea that those were in there." Both Ryan and his wife were initially charged, and because the nation passed strict gun control laws in 2022 that mandated a minimum sentence of 12 years for anyone found in possession of ammunition, were facing lengthy prison sentences and had their passports seized. But earlier this week Valerie had her charges dropped and was able to return home to their kids after spending 11 days on the island. Ryan, on the other hand, is still facing charges, and both Oklahoma governor Kevin Stitt and Senator Markwayne Mullin are fighting to help secure his release. In a letter sent to Turks & Caicos officials on April 16, Governor Stitt called Watson “an avid outdoorsman,” and the ammunition “an inadvertent oversight, not an intentional attempt to break the law." Apparently the ammo was missed by TSA when the Watsons left America, which seems like it was a pretty big miss on their part. And now it's one that's caused the Oklahoma native and hunter to be staring down 12 years in prison in a foreign country. He's also not the only American currently in Turks & Caicos due to an oversight while packing: Bryan Hagerich, a former professional baseball player who was once drafted by the Florida Marlins, is also awaiting trial after hunting ammo was found in his checked luggage earlier this year. The court on the island recently issued an order that even tourists visiting or leaving the island found in possession of ammunition are subject to mandatory imprisonment. The US Embassy released a travel alert back in September 23 to alert tourists of the country's strict laws: "Firearms, ammunition, and other weapons are not permitted in the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI).   TCI authorities strictly enforce all firearms related laws.  The penalty for traveling to TCI with a firearm, ammunition, or other weapon is a minimum custodial sentence of twelve (12) years. We wish to remind all travelers that declaring a weapon in your luggage with an airline carrier does not grant permission to bring the weapon into TCI and will result in your arrest. We strongly encourage you to carefully check your luggage for stray ammunition or forgotten weapons before departing for TCI. If you bring a firearm or ammunition into TCI, we will not be able to secure your release from custody.  You are subject to TCI laws and must follow local law enforcement procedures." Just a terrible situation all around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdJ0EPPT4ws
