Jameela Jamil Wants These Celebrities To ‘S**t Themselves In Public’ For Promoting Detox Tea
The crappy list currently includes Cardi B and the Kardashians.
Jameela Jamil is sick of celebrities’ s**t. Literally.
The “Good Place” actress called out Cardi B and Khloe Kardashian on Twitter over the weekend for promoting a crappy detox product she claims is targeted at young women.
“They got Cardi B on the laxative nonsense ‘detox’ tea. GOD I hope all these celebrities all shit their pants in public, the way the poor women who buy this nonsense upon their recommendation do,” Jamil said.
“Not that they actually take this shit. They just flog it because they need MORE MONEY,” the actress added.
Instead of buying detox tea from celebrities, Jamil offered up healthy, nutritional advice for women or men looking to try the products.
“If you want to ‘curb your appetite’ eat some damn green vegetables or have some nutritious natural vegetable soup,” the actress said.
“Don’t drink these ‘detox’ teas,” she continued in a separate tweet. “You need fiber! Not something that honestly just makes you have diarrhea the day you take it and constipates you in the long run…”
She also advised potential buyers to get diet advice from real professionals ― not celebrities who make money off of Instagram endorsements.
“Generally just don’t ever take diet advice from women who know nothing about nutrition/basic advertising ethics,” Jamil said. “IF you want to get healthier, talk to a trainer/doctor.”
In a longer Twitter message, Jamil also called out the Khloe Kardashian for promoting the Flat Tummy Co. teas that “give you diarrhea, which then gives you a flatter tummy for a day.”
She added that in Khloe’s case, the product also must come with “a personal trainer, a dietician and a plastic surgeon.”
The 32-year-old called out the Kardashians before earlier this year, specifically Kim, when the reality star was pushing Flat Tummy Co. appetite suppressant lollipops.
“No. Fuck off. No. You terrible and toxic influence on young girls. I admire their mother’s branding capabilities, she is an exploitative but innovative genius, however this family makes me feel actual despair over what women are reduced to,” Jamil said.
“MAYBE don’t take appetite suppressors and eat enough to fuel your BRAIN and work hard and be successful,” the actress added. “And to play with your kids. And to have fun with your friends. And to have something to say about your life at the end, other than ‘I had a flat stomach.’”
Kardashian later deleted her ad, though Jamil took screenshots of the original Instagram post.

Blac chyna donates to orphanage in Nigeria
America’s socialite and baby mama of Rob Kardashian has donated some items to an orphanage in Nigeria after the launch of her skin whitening products.
The mother of two paid a visit to the BAB-ES-SALAM orphanage in Lagos, Nigeria and donated some food items to them.
She posted a video on her Instagram page with the caption; “Visiting BAB-ES-SALAM orphanage was a fulfilling experience in Lagos, Nigeria. It was amazing to see the apparent open hearts and to hear about the children’s dreams. It left me filled with emotions, their excitement was an amazing feeling and a humbling experience. I can’t wait to visit again”.
However, some celebrities were against the launch of Blac Chyna’s skin whitening products and advised Nigerians to boycott the launch.
The celebrities included Ghanaian-British musician, Fuse ODG and Nigerian Singer Burna Boy.
They advised Africans to be proud of their dark skin and not apply any cosmetics to their body to make them lighter or bleach them with the primitive notion that it will make them more beautiful.
Well, it’s obvious this didn’t stop Blac Chyna from launching her products and also embarking on a charity project.

Julie Chen Moonves returning to CBS to host ‘Big Brother’ after husband was ousted by for sexual misconduct
After weeks of speculation, CBS has confirmed that Julie Chen Moonves will return as host of “Big Brother” after seemingly breaking with the network over its ousting of her husband, disgraced former CEO Les Moonves.
According to a press release announcing a slew of returning midseason programming for the network, Chen Moonves was confirmed as the host of “Big Brother: Celebrity Edition” Season 2. A spinoff to the long-running reality series, which puts contestants in a house outfitted with cameras, the celebrity version will air multiple nights for three weeks until the stars whittle themselves down to one winner.
While a second season of “Big Brother: Celebrity Edition” seemed inevitable, there was a lot of confusion about longtime host Chen Moonves’ involvement. She previously left her role at “The Talk” in September after at least 12 women came forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against Leslie. After her husband was booted from his high-powered position, Chen Moonves followed suit in what seemed to be an act of solidarity.
“I have been at ‘The Talk’ since the day it started nine years ago and the cast, crew and staff have become family to me over the years. But right now, I need to spend more time at home with my husband and our young son, so I have decided to leave ‘The Talk,’” Chen Moonves said in a pre-taped announcement at the time.
Despite taking a long break from working with the network, many were still curious as to whether or not she would remain as the host of “Big Brother.” While Season 21 of the flagship series has not yet been officially announced, Deadline reports that Chen Moonves’ contract includes “Celebrity Edition” and at least one more season of the regular version.
“Big Brother: Celebrity Edition” is set to return in January.

Marvel Comics creator Stan Lee’s cause of death revealed
Marvel Comics creator Stan Lee died from heart failure and breathing issues, TMZ confirmed Monday.
According to Lee’s death certificate, the 95-year-old comic book icon’s primary causes of death was heart and respiratory failure.
He also suffered from aspiration pneumonia, a condition in which a patient inhales stomach acid, saliva or food into their lungs.
Lee passed away on Nov. 12 at 9:17 a.m. PT at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
The death certificate notes that Lee’s remains were cremated and given to his daughter, J.C. Lee.
A small, private funeral was held for the Spider-Man co-creator earlier this month in accordance with his wishes.
Lee suffered from several medical issues leading up to his death, including pneumonia, an irregular heartbeat and vision issues.
His wife of nearly 70 years, Jane, passed away in 2017 at age 93.
In a video released posthumously, Lee expressed mutual admiration for his fans.
“There’s something if you think about it, that is wonderful about somebody caring about you, as I care about them, whom you’ve never met, who may live in another part of the world,” he said. “But they care, you have something in common and occasionally you contact each other. This business of fans, I think is terrific. And I love ’em all.”

Tekashi 6ix9ine limps into court to plead not guilty to racketeering
Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine limped into a Manhattan courtroom on Monday to plead not guilty to charges that he’s a violent, drug-dealing gang member — as his lawyer revealed that he was transferred to another jail because of “threats” from his co-defendants.
The rainbow-haired rapper, who sported his signature braids and navy prison scrubs, looked glum as he and three other alleged gangbangers were hauled back into Manhattan federal court a week after they were indicted on racketeering and firearms charges.
The courtroom, which was packed with relatives, erupted into laughter as Assistant US Attorney Michael Longyear laid out the litany of charges against the men.
He said there is surveillance video that links Tekashi to an April 21 shooting at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where the “Gummo” rapper was set to perform an entrance song for one of the boxers on the evenings card.
“Who sang the intro song?” Judge Paul Engelmayer asked, prompting the chuckles.
“I don’t have that information,” Longyear replied.
Tekashi and his crew were at the venue for the bout between Adrien Broner and Jessie Vargas, one of three fights on the card that evening. But on their way to a VIP area, they were confronted by a rival rap crew and that’s when someone from Tekashi’s entourage squeezed off a single shot, TMZ reported at the time. No one was hit.
A .32-caliber shell was found at the scene but not processed after it was handled by arena staff. Tekashi and his pals stayed behind for police interviews — and none were found with a weapon.
Prosecutors accuse Tekashi, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, and five others of terrorizing the city as members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, an offshoot of the nationwide street gang.
Also charged are his just-fired manager, Kifano Jordan aka “Shottie,” and three former associates, Faheem “Crippy” Walter, Jensel “Ish” Butler and Jamel “Mel Murda” Jones.
All but Walter, who wasn’t in the courtroom, pleaded not guilty.
Last week, The Post reported that Tekashi was transferred from a federal jail in Brooklyn to an undisclosed lockup due to threats to his life.
Outside the courtroom, his lawyer Lance Lazzaro said he’s in a “facility in Queens.”
“He was moved because of his co-defendants’ threats,” Lazzaro said. “He is pretty good but he’s not happy.”
His co-counsel, Dawn Florio, added, “He’s safe but he’s not happy to be in jail.”
Tekashi was mysteriously moved out of the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn last week after also receiving threats from “other gang-affiliated inmates” while in general population, Lazzaro said.
Asked about Tekashi’s noticeable limp, the lawyer said, “he has not been attacked in jail” and blamed the impairment on the cuffs around his ankles.
Prosecutors said they’re pouring through Hernandez’s three cell phones and his social media, including Snapchat and Instagram, as well as his iCloud and email.
They alleged Tekashi filmed an April robbery in Times Square and that some of the ill-gotten gains, including jewelry, were found at his Brooklyn home in September.
Longyear said the suspected gang members were also responsible for other acts of violence.
“The purposes of the enterprise included preserving and protecting the power, territory, and profits of the enterprise through acts involving murder … and threats of violence,” he said.
Walter wasn’t in court Monday because he was taken back to the hospital related to gunshot injuries he suffered in a scuffle with restaurant security last month.
Walter faces gang assault charges in the brawl at Philippe Chow.
Tekashi, who was shackled at the hands and ankles and seated in the jury box in front of his three co-defendants, didn’t once turn around to look at them. Instead, he stared into space and looked up at the ceiling.
As the men were led out of court, Jordan shouted to the gallery, “I love all my family. We don’t fall, we don’t bend, we don’t break” and then, “Entertainment.”

‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ creator Stephen Hillenburg dies at 57
Stephen Hillenburg, creator of the megahit Nickelodeon cartoon series “SpongeBob SquarePants,” died Monday. He was 57.
The cause of death was ALS, which Hillenburg revealed he had been diagnosed with in March of last year.
“We are incredibly saddened by the news that Steve Hillenburg has passed away following a battle with ALS,” Nickelodeon said in a statement. “He was a beloved friend and long-time creative partner to everyone at Nickelodeon, and our hearts go out to his entire family. Steve imbued ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ with a unique sense of humor and innocence that has brought joy to generations of kids and families everywhere. His utterly original characters and the world of Bikini Bottom will long stand as a reminder of the value of optimism, friendship and the limitless power of imagination.”
Hillenburg graduated from Humboldt State University in 1984 with a bachelor’s degree in natural resource planning and interpretation, with an emphasis on marine resources. He then became a marine biology teacher at the Orange County Marine Institute (now the Ocean Institute) in Dana Point, California. This interest, combined with his artistic talent and love of the sea and its creatures, led him to write and illustrate stories as teaching tools with characters that would later become the denizens of SpongeBob’s home, Bikini Bottom.
He began his animation career in 1987, pursuing a degree in experimental animation at the California Institute of Arts in Valencia and earning his master of fine arts in 1992.
That same year, he won an award for Best Animated Concept at the Ottawa International Animation Festival for his animated short “Wormholes,” which went on to be shown at various international animation festivals. From 1993 to 1996, he would pursue work in television as a director and writer on Nickelodeon’s series “Rocko’s Modern Life.”
From there, he began to work full-time on writing, producing and directing the animated series that would eventually become “SpongeBob SquarePants.” The first episode aired on Nickelodeon on May 1, 1999, and the series commenced its full run on July 17 of that year. The series has aired nearly 250 episodes to date. It appealed not only to children but older viewers as well, with college students even organizing viewing parties for the show.
The series has won both US and British Emmy Awards, Annie Awards and ASACP Awards and has been dubbed or subtitled in more than 60 languages, including Urdu, Azerbaijani and Maori.
Hillenburg also wrote, produced and directed “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie,” which was released in 2004 and went on to gross over $140 million worldwide. Hillenburg then wrote the story for and was the executive producer of the sequel, “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water,” in 2015.
Hillenburg — or Steve as he was known to family, friends and fans — was born Aug. 21, 1961, at Fort Sill in Lawton, Oklahoma. After leaving the military, his father, Kelly N. Hillenburg Jr., became a draftsman and designer for aerospace companies. His mother, Nancy, taught visually impaired students.
He is survived by his wife of 20 years, Karen Hillenburg, son Clay, mother Nancy Hillenburg (nee Dufour) and brother Brian Kelly Hillenburg, his wife, Isabel, and nieces Emma and Hazel.

Employee shot dead in Pennsylvania municipal building
CRESCO, Pa. — A township employee was shot and killed inside a Pennsylvania municipal building Tuesday morning, officials said. A gunman walked inside the Paradise Township municipal building about 8:20 a.m. and opened fire, according to police and township officials.
State and local police rushed to the municipal building in the Pocono Mountains, about 100 miles north of Philadelphia, and took the suspect into custody without incident.
The victim was identified as Michael Tripus, 65, of Stroudsburg. The township’s website listed him as the sewage enforcement and building code officer. Police said David Green, 72, of Swiftwater, was taken into custody.
State police haven’t said what motivated the shooting, and it wasn’t immediately clear how or whether the Green and Tripus knew each other.
“That is something we’re still working on right now,” Trooper David Peters told reporters at the scene.
The victim was a longtime township employee, according to Gary Konrath, chairman of the township’s Board of Supervisors.
Konrath said he was not in the building at the time but spoke to the township’s executive secretary, who was.
“She’s extremely shaken up,” he said.
Konrath said she told him the gunman is “not someone they are aware of. No one appears to recognize the individual.”
“You say this a hundred times, but you wouldn’t think it would happen here,” Konrath told the Allentown Morning Call.
The township is in a rural area and has a population of about 3,200. It employs three full-time workers and one part-time worker in the office, and six on the road crew. The township building has no security camera, but there is a panic button that links to 911, according to Konrath.
Paradise Township is about 20 miles north of Ross Township, where a gunman opened fire at a Board of Supervisors’ meeting in 2013, killing three.

Jackie Chan’s daughter confirms marriage to Canadian girlfriend
Etta Ng, the estranged teenage daughter of movie star Jackie Chan, has announced that she has married her 31-year-old Canadian girlfriend.
The happy couple shared a picture of Ms Ng, 19, and social media personality Andi Autumn with their apparent marriage certificate, dated 8 November.
Media reports said the pair registered their marriage in Canada, and are now in Ms Ng’s native Hong Kong.
The news was celebrated online, and trended on Chinese platform Weibo.
Ms Ng is martial arts star Chan’s only child with actor and former beauty queen Elaine Ng Yi Lei following an affair the couple had in 1999.
She was raised by her mother but local media reports suggest their relationship was fraught with tension in recent years.
“We have all been hurt but if you can dream of love, you can find it,” the couple wrote in their photo caption. “Love is kind, it does not judge. Love is both strength and weakness. Love can make change. Love wins!”
Ms Ng and Ms Autumn are said to have begun dating in late 2017 and Ms Ng moved to Canada shortly thereafter.
In April, the couple made a public plea for help on YouTube, claiming they were homeless for a month “due to homophobic parents”.
This was disputed by Ms Ng’s mother, who told the Asian news site Coconuts the couple “should go find work” and not rely on Ms Ng’s father’s fame to get money.
Gay Star news reported that Jackie Chan said he was fine with his daughter’s sexuality, but according to media reports he has never had a relationship with her.
In 2015 Chan told the BBC of his shame and shock following the news his older son Jaycee Chan had been jailed for six months in China for drug offences.

Kevin Hart, Eniko Parrish slammed for son’s ‘Cowboys and Indians’-themed birthday party
Kevin Hart and his wife Eniko Parrish faced backlash over their son’s “Cowboys and Indians”-themed birthday party last week that was deemed offensive.
Eniko posted several photos Thursday on Instagram of the couple’s son Kenzo’s first birthday bash. A group shot showed the 1-year-old boy and other children dressed as cowboys, while others donned Native American-inspired blankets and outfits.
“Zos cowboys & indians party was nothing but amazing! Thanks to everyone for coming.. we love you guys!” Parrish captioned the photo.
Many social media users, however, weren’t fans of the themed party and said it was culturally insensitive.
“As fellow aboriginal people, y’all should know why this “theme” is wrong on so many levels. Sickening,” one person wrote in a comment, while another person told the couple to “learn history.”
“As a person of color you SHOULD know better, than again, I dont see you standing up for nothing but laughs,” a follower commented.
One person said, “Cowboys and Indians? Can you not afford a publicist who would explain the reality [of] such a terrible idea?”
“Da f— were you “thinking”?! Obviously, NOT thinking. I guess if you have money it’s alright to be stupid and offensive,” a comment read.
“My family is American Indian and comes from a long line of men and women continuing to advocate for equality for all people. Educating people who are unaware of our heritage should be our number one priority. And while my initial reaction was anger, the only way to have a conversation is to approach it from a place of humility. A first birthday party is a big deal. I don’t think this was done to offend … But to have fun,” a user said.
Some fans defended the couple and said the theme was “too cute,” “adorable” and not offensive as some said. Rapper Ludacris also voiced his support for the 1-year-old’s party by commenting “dope.”
Reps for Kevin Hart didn’t immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.
