New Jersey police have had it with the Popeyes chicken sandwich
The Popeyes chicken sandwich has been an agent of chaos in an already chaotic year. It has been the purported cause of food fights, fistfights, a car wreck, a threatened shooting, and a
stabbing. It could be argued that if people are going to act like
assholes, they are going to act like assholes whether there’s a chicken
sandwich around or not. But it can be proven that the
drive-thru at a certain Popeyes in Rutherford, New Jersey, is causing
traffic jams on Route 17, and police have decided they can take action,
and that they will.
And so an electronic sign has been posted outside Popeyes that reads, “A sandwich isn’t worth a ticket. Do not delay traffic.”
Very simple, very straightforward. I, personally, appreciate the sternness of it. Rutherford’s police chief, John Russo, elaborated further in a statement obtained by News 12 New Jersey: “What we are seeing is people waiting an extraordinary amount of time on both drive-thrus to get a sandwich or coffee without consideration for those vehicles not trying to get into the establishments.” Russo recommended that people park their cars and actually go inside the Popeyes for their sandwich.
Neither Russo nor the police department would tell the TV station if any tickets had been issued to people desperate for chicken sandwiches.

A Colorado day care hid children behind a ‘false wall,’ police say
A Colorado day care used a “false wall” to hide 26 children under the age of 3 in a basement, police said, concealing the fact it had too many children in its care.Officers went to Play Mountain Place in Colorado Springs Wednesday after complaints about overcrowding there when they found the children along with two adults behind the false wall. The day care had a licensed capacity of six children, according to May 2019 data on the Colorado Department of Human Services website.
The department immediately suspended the day care’s license while it investigates, the agency said in a statement.
Police didn’t immediately find any children when they first arrived at the day care, the Colorado Springs Police Department said in a statement. They contacted owner Carla Faith, who lives on the property, and she “refused to cooperate” with the officers, police said. But police could hear children in her home, and while investigating, they found a false wall leading to the basement.
“Officers immediately began working with DHS to release the children back to their parents,” the police department said.The state Department of Human Services received the complaint Wednesday and enlisted police help in carrying out the welfare check, the department said in a statement.
Three day care workers were initially arrested for “misdemeanor child abuse relating to neglect,” police said, but detectives canceled the charges “pending further investigation.”
“I’m really hoping nothing more nefarious has been going on and that in fact, it is an overcrowding issue which is bad enough as it is,” a parent told CNN affiliate KKTV. “Miss Carla seems like such a nice person and she’s always been so accommodating and perhaps she has a hard time saying no. I don’t know, I’m just going to have to chalk it up to that.”
Faith was not arrested at the scene, police said, “as detectives pursue appropriate charges.”CNN is reaching out to Faith for comment.

Tupac Shakur had secret affair with Whitney Houston and dumped Madonna over her skin color
Rap icon Tupac Shakur had a string of A-list lovers during his time in the spotlight, but kept his famous girlfriends secret
Late rap legend Tupac Shakur had a string of high-profile girlfriends over the years but managed to keep his A-list lovers secret.
Many of his famous girlfriends never spoke about their relationships with the rapper, while others waited until many years after his death to confirm the romace.
The music superstar, who died in a shooting in 1996 aged 25, is now believed to have had a steamy affair with Whitney Houston and broke Madonna’s heart.
He also found the time to get married and divorced, and date music industry royalty.
Madonna
Prison letter reveals that Tupac dumped Madonna because she’s white!
Tupac dated Madonna for more than a year after being set up by pal Rosie Perez at the Soul Train Awards in 1993.
However, they managed to keep the romance totally under the radar and it wasn’t confirmed until 2015.
Madonna let slip about her relationship with Tupac during an interview with US shock jock Howard Stern, telling him the pair dated and the rapper got her “all riled up about life in general”.
However, little else was known about the romance until a bombshell dropped in 2017 when a letter from Tupac to Madonna revealed he broke up with her because of her race.
The note, believed to have been written while he was in prison in 1995, told the singer that their romance had to end as it wouldn’t look good for his career.
Dated January 15 1995, the letter published by TMZ explained: “Can u understand that?
“For you to be seen with a black man wouldn’t in any way jeopardize your career.
“But for me at least in my previous perception I felt due to my ‘image’ I would be letting down half of the people who made me what I thought I was.
“I never meant to hurt you.”
Whitney Houston
The stunning revelation that Tupac bedded music legend Whitney Houston didn’t emerge until after her death aged 48 in 2012.
Her ex-husband Bobby Brown made the confession about his wife’s affair in his 2016 memoir Every Little Step, claiming she cheated on him with Tupac during their marriage.
In the book, Brown claimed Whitney and Tupac hooked up after they worked together but gave no further detail.
The New Edition star claimed his ex-wife did her “share of cheating” with “quite a few of the producers and artists”, but only named TUpac.
Jada Pinkett Smith
Fazion Love, Ed Lover & Kat Graham speak out +“All Eyez on me” movie review
Although they were never lovers, Jada had a strong relationship with Tupac that nearly became romantic.
However, Jada insisted there was no “physical chemistry” between them – even when theyy tested it out by kissing.
Speaking to DJ Howard Stern in 2015, Jada explained: “When you have two young people that have very strong feelings, but there was no physical chemistry between us at all, and it wasn’t even just for me.
“It was him too.”
Kidada Jones
Quincy Jones SPILLS ALL THE TEA on Richard Pryor, Marlon Brando, Michael Jackson & Ivanka Trump!!
Tupac was dating music industry royalty Kidada Jones, daughter of legendary producer Quincy Jones, at the time of his death in 1996.
They got together following the collapse of his brief marriage to Keisha Morris in 1995, and it initially got off to a bumpy start after Kidada ignored his advances because he’d previously dissed her dad.
However, after the rapper apologized, they exchanged numbers and embarked on a whirlwind romance.
He’s said to have told his mum: “I love her. She’s going to be my wife, she’s having my children.”
They got a house in together in Calabasas, but the romance was cut short by tragedy as Tupac was murdered just four months after they started living together.
In Quincy Jones’ 2001 book, Kidada wrote of Tupac’s death: “He and I lived together for four months and then he was murdered in Las Vegas in 1996. It was the most horrible thing that ever happened to me.”

Taylor Swift Big Machine Says She’s Making Stuff Up
Article via TMZ
Taylor Swift‘s claim Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta from Big Machine are blocking her from performing her own songs at the AMAs is a complete fabrication … according to the record label, which thinks she made a calculated move to harm its people.
Big Machine says it was shocked to see Taylor’s comments Thursday, and denies ever saying she could not perform at the awards show or blocking her Netflix special. It adds … “In fact, we do not have the right to keep her from performing live anywhere.”
To be fair, Swift never said BM was keeping her from performing … she specifically stated it was keeping her from performing her own songs, and using her own songs and performance footage in the Netflix documentary.
Big Machine also claims Taylor’s admitted to owing the company millions of dollars and it says it was optimistic the 2 sides were working toward resolving the issue … but then she bailed.
Instead, BM says “Taylor made a unilateral decision last night to enlist her fanbase in a calculated manner that greatly affects the safety of our employees and their families.
The label adds … “Taylor, the narrative you have created does not exist.”
Despite Big Machine’s denial, Swift’s friend, Selena Gomez, has her back 100 percent. Selena says she’s “sick and extremely angry” over the situation, and accuses the label of “greed, manipulation and power.”
Gomez says of BM … “You’ve robbed and crushed one of our best song writers of our time an opportunity to celebrate all of her music with fans and the world.” She goes on to praise Swift’s character, talent and strength … and says she knows Taylor will not stop fighting.
Halsey echoes many of the same thoughts, accusing BM of making an awful business move and being mean and vindictive. She says the label is banking on people not sticking up for Taylor … but says it’s “barking up the wrong tree.”
As we reported … Taylor’s set to be honored at the upcoming AMAs as Artist of the Decade, but as you can tell — it’s about much more than that now.

Netflix Responds to Mo’Nique Pay Discrimination Lawsuit: ‘Our Opening Offer to Mo’Nique Was Fair’
Netflix has responded to actress and comedian Mo’Nique’s pay discrimination lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court Thursday.
“We care deeply about inclusion, equity, and diversity and take any accusations of discrimination very seriously. We believe our opening offer to Mo’Nique was fair — which is why we will be fighting this lawsuit,” a spokesperson for Netflix said in a statement to TheWrap.
Mo’Nique’s complaint accused Netflix of gender and race discrimination, saying that the company had given her a “low-ball” and “discriminatory” offer of $500,000 as a “talent fee” for a one-hour stand-up special, while other comedians were offered millions of dollars per special.
“When the talent was not a Black woman, Netflix offered to pay, and did pay, astronomically more than it pays to Black women like it offered to Mo’Nique,” the complaint reads. It also lists several other comedians and what they were paid by Netflix for comparison.
The filing goes on to say that “Netflix reportedly offered or paid [Chris] Rock, [Dave] Chapelle [sic], [Ellen] Degeneris [sic], and [Ricky] Gervais forty (40) times more per show than it offered Mo’Nique, and it offered [Amy] Schumer twenty-six (26) times more per show than Mo’Nique. In short, Netflix’s offer to Mo’Nique perpetuates the drastic wage gap forced upon Black women in the America’s workforce.”
Mo’Nique confirmed that she had filed a lawsuit in an Instagram post on Thursday.
“Hey My Loves — I can confirm that today I filed a pay discrimination lawsuit against Netflix,” she wrote in the post. “I had a choice to make: I could accept what I felt was pay discrimination or I could stand up for those who came before me and those who will come after me. I chose to stand up. I don’t have any further comment this time, but I appreciate all of your support and love.”

‘Who cares what anybody else says?’ Alicia Keys applauds son for rainbow nail polish
Alicia Keys is urging fans to pursue “less labels, more expressions” after her son voiced an insecurity about his rainbow nail polish.
In an Instagram video shared over the weekend, Keys recounted to followers how her younger son, 4-year-old Genesis, had been excited to join her at the nail salon, where he decided he wanted each finger to be pained a different color like a rainbow.
“After she painted his nails, he looked at me and said, ‘Mommy, I don’t want this on my nails,'” Keys recalled. “And I was like, ‘Why? You were so sure you were good.'”
“People are not going to like it,” she recalled her son saying.
“Can you believe this?” Keys asked viewers. “He’s four years old. Four. And he already understands the concept that someone’s going to judge him because he chose a rainbow color on his nails.”
The singer kept things positive with her son, applauding his creative idea and telling him others would do the same.
“You had this idea, stick with it,” she told him. “You chose it, you liked it, you do it. Who cares what anybody else says? Plus, you know, a lot of guys paint their nails. It’s not, like, some strange thing that you only do.”
Keys said the experience got her thinking about “how completely judged we are all the time.” She became frustrated that people often get held back from being able to explore both “masculine and feminine energies.”
“It gets concerning to me that we can’t just explore these different sides of ourselves,” she added. “Even for me, myself, I often explore the masculine energy that’s inside of me. It’s very natural to me. That’s how I feel… For my boys, (it’s) similar: if they want to express the feminine energy that’s inside of them, there’s all these judgements and all these rules and stereotypes and vibes, and it’s really frustrating to me.”
