Pop Star Usher Wipes Twitter X Account Clean of All Posts Following Sean Diddy Combs Arrest

R&B and pop star Usher’s 11.5 million fans on Twitter are getting a rude awakening this morning.

It’s gone.

The account is still there but all the posts have been wiped clean.

His Instagram is still in place but with pictures from his current tour, sold out through the fall.

But Usher’s move today feels like it’s connected to the arrest and scandal surrounding Sean P Diddy Combs. Diddy is locked up in a dirty Brooklyn jail cell after accusations of sexual malfeasance that makee the hair stand up. Usher was a child star groomed and launched by Diddy in the 90s. Diddy was actually his legal guardian. There is a lot of gossip and speculation on the web now about their relationship, and what Usher may have seen or experienced over the years.

There’s also a lot of talk about Justin Bieber, who was then mentored as a child by Usher. Bieber at 15 spent a lot of time with Diddy, all recorded on video, by themselves. In recent years, Bieber has had a number of mental health issues. He’s dropped out of a couple of tours, and stopped recording.

Of course, one person who might shed some light on all of this is Scooter Braun, who managed Bieber and promoted all these relationships. This year Braun dropped out of managing artists entirely so he could be part of KPop’s Hybe company. But Braun is where all roads lead back to.

Meantime, Usher’s feed is gone, with all his comments and all of his fans.

Trump — With Gag in Place, Still Looking for Victims — Goes After Oprah for Endorsing Kamala Harris

Today’s Trump distraction: Oprah.

It obviously incensed Donald that Oprah Winfrey put on a big town hall for Kamala Harris. Oprah has thrown all her support behind Harris, and that has a huge impact on the election.

Trump says he and his family were guests on the Oprah show before it went off the air. He thinks she invited him because he was important. No, she knew what a carnival he was barking. The Trumps were and will always be a side show.

Melania Trump Removes Christmas References from Holiday Ornament Collection, Omits All Religious Markings, Equates Liberty with Holiday

Melania Trump is launching a line of Christmas ornaments.

Don’t worry, they look like Nazi memorabilia. There isn’t a cross on them. There is no reference to Christianity or Christmas.

One of them is called Vote Liberty. It equates American patriotism with some version of Christmas.

They are the coldest, oddest ornaments anyone’e ever seen.

What’s really weird is that Melania is on tape saying she hates Christmas. Her former aide, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, recorded Melania in 2020 saying, “Give me a f****** break. I’m working like a—my a** off at Christmas stuff that, you know, who gives a f*** about Christmas stuff and decorations?”

Melania’s Christmas decorations at the White House were also strange and forbidding. Remember when she put up red Christmas trees?

The irony: MAGA’s big thing is that under the Democrats you can’t say “Merry Christmas.” It’s a lie, but now under Trump, Christmas has been removed from the equation entirely.

JD Vance Tells Tucker Carlson Trump Gave Him “Rent-a-Dog” to Appeal to Pet Owners (Really)

This is real. Is it true?

JD Vance told Tucker Carlson in an interview two days ago that the Trump campaign gave him a Rent-a-Dog.

Carlson said, “That’s weird. You’re weird.”

Carlson — who’s already weird — couldn’t believe it.

Maybe Vance is kidding. But it seems true, strangely. The dog doesn’t seem to know Vance at all.

Vance is barking up the wrong tree. Or telling a shaggy dog story.

Trump Social Media Blow Outs: Calls MSNBC Host “A Bimbo,” Threatens “Execution of a Baby After Birth,” Claims Will “Protect Women Like Never Before”

It was a tough night for Donald Trump.

On Truth Social — which sees its stock price heading to the toilet — he went after MSNBC host STephanie Ruhle after she laughed at him on the Bill Maher show.

Trump called Ruhle “a bimbo” after she laughed at him on Maher’s show. We know how much he doesn’t like laughing, and this did him in.

Trump also went on a wild diatribe about women’s rights and abortion. The convicted rapist says women are less happy and safe than they were four years ago under his paws.

On abortion, Trump continues to insist that without him outlawing Roe v. Wade there would be seventh, eighth, and nine month abortions. There would also be the “Execution of a baby after birth!”

All of this is written in capital letters and NONE OF IT IS TRUE! NOT A WORD OF IT!

Truth Social is the lowest level of Hell. It’s also contributed to by the deeply stupid. One poster is very upset that Oprah Winfrey hasn’t contributed money to “MUAI” which I thinks means “Maui.” The post doesn’t actually make sense, anyway, but it’s typical of the illiterate types who live on the failing platform,

What is Oprah Hiding? Kills Documentary She Agreed to After Cancelling Two Autobiographies

What is Oprah Hiding? Kills Documentary She Agreed to After Cancelling Two Autobiographies

Oprah Winfrey is great at interviewing other people. But she doesn’t want us to know much about herself.

Oprah has just cancelled an Apple TV Plus documentary from award winner Kevin Macdonald. She reportedly gave Apple the money they paid her (enough to buy a warehouse of Macs). Macdonald’s work will never be seen now.

This isn’t the first time Oprah has cancelled projects she commissioned or approved about herself.

In 1993, she pulled back an autobiography that was ready to be published. That caused quite a stir because, in publishing no one does that. Oprah had been paid a stunning $3 million advance. But she gave it back just three months before pub date.

In 2015 I wrote that she had a book she planned for 2017 called “The Life You Want.” Again, the book never materialized.

Macdonald is a respected filmmaker, so the film would have been of merit. But according to sources, Oprah didn’t like the finished product, and she had editorial control.

Martha Stewart feels the same way about her doc, from RJ Cutler, which just showed at the Telluride Film Festival and will be in the Hamptons Film Festival. But ultimately Martha knew most of her life is already in the public domain. The film will come and go.

As for Oprah, we know a lot about her childhood, family life, and years in broadcasting before her show took off in 1986. We know a lot about weight loss. But her personal life with Steadman Graham and Gayle King is less transparent. She’s obviously not ready for public consumption of those details.

I’m curious about Oprah’s observations about her impact on American political life. Her involvement with promoting the Obamas would be fascinating. She’s also had wealthy Republican friends. It’s unknown if Macdonald was able to get into any of that.

Melania Trump Says She’ll Explain in Book How She Destroyed Jackie Kennedy’s Rose Garden

During her time at the White House, Melania Trump dug up and destroyed Jackie Kennedy’s Rose Garden.

For years there have been petitions to restore it. But the Biden Administration hasn’t had a chance to do it yet. The renovation will be up to Kamala Harris when she’s elected.

Now in her book, called “Melania,” the AWOL ex First Lady will explain how she made such a mess of things. Should be interesting! She never promised s a rose garden, after all!

The book is coming October 8th, and I can’t wait. Can you? It’s designed as a distraction from Donald Trump’s campaign, just like everything else, to keep voters away from the terror of a Trump presidency. Instead of discussing Project 2025, Trump will misdirect voters to the rose garden and other nonsense.

Don’t fall for it!

Trump Stock Drops Near Point of No Return After He Threatens Jews, Praises Hitler Loving Candidate

Trump Stock Drops Near Point of No Return After He Threatens Jews, Praises Hitler Loving Candidate

Trump Media stock is in the $13 range right now. If it drops below $12 Trump will not be able to sell his shares.

Last week he swore he wouldn’t sell. But it’s looking dicey now.

Apparently his last 24 hours haven’t impressed shareholders. He told a Jewish group that if he lost the election it was their fault.

He also has heaped praise on North Carolina governor candidate Michael Robinson announced that he was a “Black Nazi.” He’s also accused of posting damaging stuff on the internet. Really damaging.

Robinson said these things on a porn site called Nude Africa years ago, just discovered now. He also said he enjoyed watching transgender pornography, a review of archived messages found in which he also referred to himself as a “perv.”

Trump has sung Robinson’s praises at his rallies.

In two different speeches, Trump said Jews would be crazy to vote for Kamala Harris — whose husband, by the way, is Jewish, and she has clearly stated her support for Israel.

“The Jewish people would have a lot to do with a loss,” Trump said at a summit on fighting antisemitism in America. “It’s only because of the Democrat hold, or curse, on you.”

Katy Perry’s New Album “143”: 10 of 11 Tracks Produced by Dr Luke, Enemy of Female Pop Stars

Katy Perry’s New Album “143”: 10 of 11 Tracks Produced by Dr Luke, Enemy of Female Pop Stars

Maybe, you were led to believe, only 1 or 2 tracks on Katy Perry’s “143” album were produced by Dr. Luke.

It turns out 10 of the 11 tracks were co-written and produced by Lukasz Gottwald, or basically the whole album. Only one track– the best — called “Wonder” — comes from the Swedish producer Stargate.

Why Perry returned to Dr Luke as a producer and collaborator remains a mystery. Gottwald has been part of an ongoing scandal with the singer Kesha with accusations of rape and abuse. The long and winding court cases were only recently settled. But nearly every female performer of Perry’s era — starting with Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga — denounced Gottwald publicly.

And yet, here is Katy Perry with her first album in four years that includes an anthem called “Woman’s World” put together by Gottwald. It boggles the mind. When “Woman’s World” first appeared, Perry was heavily criticized for continuing to work with Dr. Luke. The reaction didn’t bother her. she told Variety that Dr. Luke was “one of her collaborators.” IN reality, he is all of her collaborators.

And then “Woman’s Word” and the next two singles were flops. The album may be, too. It just entered the iTunes chart at number 27.

I was kind of rooting for Perry to make a good comeback. She left “American Idol” after 7 seasons very rich but with a career left behind. On “143” the songs are ones designed for a 20 year old, not a 40 year old. All the credit she built up with “Roar” and “Firework,” her big hits, has been squandered on Dr. Luke, samples, synth, and juvenile lyrics. This could have been a big moment for her, but it isn’t.

NYMag Writer in RFK Jr Affair Has a Strange Public History of Her Own, Has Supported Trump All Along

There are a lot of people who will be writing stories about Olivia Nuzzi this week. The busted New York Magazine writer is on leave after it was discovered she’s been having an affair with former wanna be presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr.

Kennedy is married to actress Cheryl Hines, his third wife. Nuzzi has been engaged for a while (maybe not any more) to former New Yorker magazine writer Ryan Lizza. He was fired in 2017 during the #MeToo scandals over sexual malfeasance at the austere publication.

After the New Yorker incident, Lizza and Nuzzi were hired to write a book about Biden and Trump. The book never materialized and by 2021 their contract was cancelled.

Nuzzi and Lizza must have been quite the couple.

Ever since Nuzzi interviewed Kennedy for the November 22, 2023 cover of New York magazine she started supporting him and Donald Trump on Twitter X. There are endless posts touting them.

Her best Tweet, though, came back in 2015 in response to a story about the TV show “House of Cards.” Posted over a picture of actress Kate Mara from that show, Nuzzi wrote: “Why does Hollywood think female reporters sleep with their sources?”
