[ENTERTAINMENT] AMBER ROSE MAY BE THE COOLEST MOM OF 2018!

Amber Rose says screw societal norms when it comes to raising her five year old little boy.

The model has received a lot of heat lately since she shared with the world that she allows her five year old son, Sebastian, to curse with no consequences. This is definitely not something you would hear the average mom say, but Rose admits that she’d much rather her son say “f-ck” than the “N-word,” which is a term the kindergartner learned from his rapper dad, Wiz Khalifa .

Rose told US Weekly  “I let my son curse in the house because it’s a form of expression.” Kids like to curse, the former ex-girlfriend of Kanye West explains. She adds the disclaimer that she warns her son to only curse when “it’s appropriate and not to say it at school. That’s it.”

This is not the first time the mom has been questioned for her parenting skills of the son she shares with ex-husband. Rose is known for defying gender norms  and has become a major advocate for freedom of expression. This was evident when the mom posted a photo of Sebastian getting his nails done and included the caption “We encourage our children to paint, draw and be creative so why block them from their creativity when it comes to self expression? Fuck society standards and gender roles! Let your children be great!”

Though I don’t know if I would personally allow my five year old son to curse, I commend Amber Rose for breaking away from gender roles and social constructs and allowing her son to truly express himself in a non judgmental household. This is truly the mindset all parents should acquire in order to create love and acceptance around the world.

[SPORTS] NFL WEEK 6 PICKS: PATRIOTS END CHIEFS UNDEFEATED RUN

[SPORTS] NFL WEEK 6 PICKS: PATRIOTS END CHIEFS UNDEFEATED RUN

Pats Win Thriller Over Chiefs

Week 5 Results: 9-6

Record This Season: 44-34

It wasn’t a good week for the so-called picks king, but for the first time this season we’ll look back and see where things went south.

With the focus on two of the earlier games, one pick I truly had a misread on that I’m sure a number of people did as well was the Denver Broncos game.

Denver scored on its first possession of the game, but were nowhere to be found thereafter, particularly on defense.

The Jets got big plays on offense and a double-digit margin on the road in the second half was way too big of a task for Case Keenum and the Broncos offense.

Another pick I got horribly wrong was the Packers game, but let’s be real here, HOW MANY KICKERS MISS FIVE … FIVE F****** FIELD GOALS IN ONE GAME?? Let’s not even mention that Aaron Rodgers was throwing the ball to a guy named Equanimeous and another guy with three last names.

The 49ers gave up 28 points to the Cardinals, who likely won’t see that point total combined over their next three games. Philadelphia was Philadelphia, well this season’s Philadelphia that allows Minnesota’s rushing attack to look dangerous for once.

Week 5 was in a lot of ways a major flop for me that I wish I had back. The football gods aren’t too kind to me these days … I wasn’t the only one who started Alvin Kamara this week in fantasy right?

Week 6 gives us a high-powered offensive matchup in New England between Kermit and the Chiefs vs The Football inspector and the Patriots.

Elsewhere, Jerry Jones gets to watch Jalen Ramsey act like shutting down his former teammate Allen Hurns for a game warrants MVP consideration while Derek Carr and Russell Wilson try not to throw interceptions down on the goal line with Marshawn Lynch lining up in the backfield for both of them on Sunday.

Okay! Okay! I’m getting to it. Here are my predictions for Week 6 of the 2018 NFL regular season.

*Drum roll please*

Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants

Philadelphia’s pass defense on the road has been suspect to begin the season as they have allowed Ryan Fitzpatrick and Marcus Mariota to rack over over 700 passing yards vs their defense combined.

The Giants don’t have an explosive passing offense, but neither did Tennessee. Eli Manning is 10-18 in his career vs the Philadelphia Eagles in the regular-season so that doesn’t inspire much confidence. On a short week, I’m inclined to pick the home team given that home teams are 5-0 this season in Thursday night games.

Prediction: New York Giants 27 Philadelphia Eagles 24

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons

The Buccaneers are rolling with Jameis Winston coming out of their much needed bye week. Simply put, it was the correct decision for head coach Dirk Koetter as the Fitzmagic hit a sad halt in Chicago two weeks ago vs the Bears. The Buccaneers have lost two in a row, but they already have a division road win under their belts vs the Saints.

While picking them to win is tempting, there’s something about Atlanta. No, nothing very good of late about them (I’m grasping for straws here). Julio Jones doesn’t have a touchdown catch this season. Consider these two realities, Jones finished with 12 receptions for 253 receiving yards and two touchdowns vs Tampa Bay in Atlanta last season.

Consider the next, Tampa Bay is surrendering the second most yards in the NFL this season (445.8) and the most points on average (34.8).

Prediction: Atlanta Falcons 33 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24

Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals

The Pittsburgh Steelers are behind the Bengals in the AFC North Standings, but this is a must-win for the Bengals. Cincinnati has been one of the stranger teams in the NFL this season.

On defense, they give up yards and sometimes points in bunches before turning it on late or that in reverse. On offense, they turn the football over one minute and then the next Andy Dalton is looking like the reincarnation of ‘Good Andy’.

While this is a very good spot to pick Cincinnati, I’m not buying that secondary vs Pittsburgh’s wide receivers. Quite frankly, no other quarterback in the NFL scares me more than Andy Dalton. In a bad way.

Prediction: Pittsburgh Steelers 29 Cincinatti Bengals 24

Seattle Seahawks vs Oakland Raiders

It’s the Marshawn Lynch Bowl as Lynch tries to decide which team not allowing him to run the ball down on the goal line was worse.

The Raiders are tied for the fifth most turnovers in the NFL. That spells trouble vs a Seattle Seahawks defense that has 11 this season and minus Earl Thomas last week for the first time managed to get two turnovers vs the Rams offense.

Prediction: Seattle Seahawks 31 Oakland Raiders 24

Los Angeles Chargers at Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns generate pressure on the quarterback when they blitz. That’s something that will be problematic even for a Chargers offense that has allowed Philip Rivers to be sacked an NFL-low six times in five games.

The blitz beaters? Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler. We know how explosive Melvin Gordon is with the ball in open space, but we saw last week that his backfield mate is plenty shifty himself on a dazzling 44-yard touchdown on a screen pass vs the Oakland Raiders.

Prediction: Los Angeles Chargers 19 Cleveland Browns 16

Chicago Bears at Miami Dolphins

The Chicago Bears are an explosive team when Mitchell Trubisky wears a arm sleeve on his throwing arm.

With an arm sleeve on Mitchell Trubisky is capable of eye-popping numbers like five passing touchdowns in one half and nearly 300 passing yards.

Arm Sleeve Mitch > Hoodie Melo

Prediction: Chicago Bears 23 Miami Dolphins 14

Arizona Cardinals at Minnesota Vikings

Trust the Minnesota Vikings with a -10.5 point spread at home at your own discretion. We all believed that this team would roll over the Buffalo Bills a couple of weeks ago.

Arizona has had a realistic chance to win in each of their last three games with last week’s 28-18 win being their first. Unfortunately, a rookie Quarterback making his first start on the road (Yeah we’re falling for this again…) and David Johnson averaging 3.3 yards per carry makes me a steady pessimist.

Prediction: Minnesota Vikings 27 Arizona Cardinals 16

Indianapolis Colts at New York Jets

Andrew Luck and the Colts are reeling. The team’s defense looked surprising over the first three weeks of the season but have since given up an average of 37.5 PPG. The New York Jets shouldn’t be trusted after the last time they came off a victory, but this is the absolute perfect spot and perfect team for Todd Bowles’ team.

Prediction: New York Jets 27 Indianapolis Colts 23

Carolina Panthers at Washington Redskins

The Washington Redskins may have had a little too much fun during their bye week as a 43-19 drubbing at the hands this of the Saints this past Monday exposed Washington’s defense.

While Carolina doesn’t have nearly as potent an offense as New Orleans’, Cam Newton is having an under the radar season in one category he’s always been criticized in.

Through four games Cam Newton is completing 65.4 percent of his passes in 2018. His previous career-high was set back in 2013 at 61.7 percent. He has failed to get over the 59 percent threshold since then.

Prediction: Carolina Panthers 34 Washington Redskins 27

Buffalo Bills at Houston Texans

The Houston Texans have needed overtime to win each of their two games this season. While another one wouldn’t be surprising considering Buffalo is not as bad as everyone thought they were (Gee … I wonder who said they weren’t that bad after Week 1?).

The problem here is the fact that Houston’s front seven is downright scary at the moment. Last week we saw them shut down the Dallas Cowboys rushing attack which resulted in Dallas’ pass offense having to beat them and this week it’s a similar challenge in needing to shutdown Buffalo’s rushing attack to force Josh Allen into doing so.

Prediction: Houston Texans 24 Buffalo Bills 9

Los Angeles Rams at Denver Broncos

Todd Gurley has been given 20+ touches in each of the Los Angeles Rams first five games this season. He’s recorded over 100+ yards from scrimmage in four of them, but he has not had a breakout game to this point in terms of yardage.

Los Angeles may be without Cooper Kupp and Brandin Cooks this week in Denver due to concussions which will be a challenge, but this is a Broncos team that was just used as toilet paper by Isaiah Crowell (219 rushing yards) and are giving up 139.6 rushing yards per game, 30th in the NFL.

Prediction: Los Angeles Rams 34 Denver Broncos 13

Jacksonville Jaguars at Dallas Cowboys

The Jacksonville Jaguars finally got an interception from a defensive back last week but this defense has strangely had trouble forcing turnovers in 2018. Jacksonville is tied for the third fewest takeaways in the NFL this season with 5 takeaways after forcing the 2nd most in 2017 (33).

That has not kept Jacksonville from dominating teams defensively, but it may become a problem down the road if Blake Bortles continues his Jekyll and Hyde play. The Dallas Cowboys defense is formidable enough to make this a close game, but that offense vs this defense? C’mon man!

Prediction: Jacksonville Jaguars 13 Dallas Cowboys 6

Baltimore Ravens at Tennessee Titans

The Baltimore Ravens surprisingly don’t do too well coming off of a loss in the John Harbaugh era. Since 2014 the Baltimore Ravens are 11-15 coming off a loss. The Tennessee Titans offense looked putrid on the road in Buffalo and on the season are averaging 17.4 PPG. Unless Baltimore’s offense continues to go 4-for-16 on third down, it’s hard to envision them not coming away with a victory.

Prediction: Baltimore Ravens 20 Tennessee Titans 16

Kansas City Chiefs at New England Patriots

The New England Patriots normally lose at home in the regular-season with Tom Brady at the helm. Tom Brady is 110-19 at home, that’s a 85 percent winning percentage in Foxborough.

One of the last teams to beat New England at Gillette Stadium was the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City’s explosive offense has cooled some in the last two weeks. Kansas City has to like their chances given that New England doesn’t have Jacksonville’s secondary or a Von Miller on their defense.

Three key stats to monitor for this one. New England in the first half this season at home have run their opposition off the field. In the first half New England have outscored their opponents at home 69-9 in the first half this season. The Kansas City Chiefs defense have held their opponents to a 29.3 percent third down conversion rate but have allowed 10 of 13 fourth downs converted against them. In a close game, that last stat matters.

Prediction: New England Patriots 37 Kansas City Chiefs 31 OT

San Francisco 49ers at Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers offense managed without a number of offensive weapons in Week 5 but still came up on the short end of the stick thanks to three turnovers leading to 17 points for the Detroit Lions. The 49ers appear to be in more trouble than originally thought with C.J. Beathard turning the ball over four times in a 28-18 loss to the Cardinals last Sunday.

Given the venue, the primetime setting, and…. wait, Aaron Rodgers vs C.J. Beathard???

Prediction: Green Bay Packers 34 San Francisco 49ers 10

[ENTERTAINMENT] ‘AMERICAN HORROR STORY: APOCALYPSE’ EPISODE 5 RECAP AND REVIEW

[ENTERTAINMENT] ‘AMERICAN HORROR STORY: APOCALYPSE’ EPISODE 5 RECAP AND REVIEW

With the fifth episode of “American Horror Story: Apocalypse” taking place entirely before the end of the world, “Boy Wonder” was more like a “Coven” sequel, complete with a Stevie Nicks cameo and a not too subtle battle of the sexes.

Cordelia’s vision of getting eaten alive.

This episode of “AHS” picks up where last week’s left off, with Cordelia’s (Sarah Paulson) vision of herself getting eaten by creatures at a destroyed Miss Robichaux’s Academy. Once the vision ends and she wakes up, she tells Langdon (Cody Fern) and the not-Hogwarts council that she’ll administer the Seven Wonders during the Blood Moon (the first of hopefully few references to my least favorite season, “Roanoke”).

While yelling at Cordelia for letting a man attempt the Seven Wonders, Myrtle tells her about Mallory’s revival of a dead deed. We see Mallory, looking much more ethereal than she does when she’s with Coco, not only bring the deer back to life, but she turns it into a baby fawn. Myrtle explains “Mallory did not just heal the wounds, she undid them,” which has me confident I know how this season is going to end. I’m willing to bet that at the last minute, Mallory will reset the world to before Langdon’s rise to power and end him once and for all. With the hourglasses playing so heavily into this season’s marketing, I wouldn’t be surprised if time travel is a big component.

We get Coco’s backstory as a witch. Her one superpower is to detect gluten, but that’s apparently enough magical talent for Cordelia when Coco’s father donates “zillions of dollars” to the school. Ms. Robichaux’s still has bills to pay. I can’t be sure until the end of the season, but so far I feel like Coco is a real waste of screen-time. I almost wish she wasn’t a witch so her campiness could have concluded at her death in episode 3.

The witches’ school is so bright and nice, while the warlocks’ underground wannabe-Hogwarts is dark and sullen, just in case anyone was confused about the metaphors being thrown around.

Langdon’s initiation by the warlocks gives off prep school “A Separate Peace” vibes, but John (Cheyenne Jackson) doesn’t trust him, so packs his bags to visit Cordelia. One of the warlock teachers (Billy Porter) tries to stop him and forever proves that warlock fights are much lamer than the witch fights, with John using some bad CGI to throw him against the wall and storming out.

He doesn’t get far, because while filling his car with gas, Kathy Bates slices his heels, stabs his chest and sets him on fire. I’m fairly sure in this scene Bates is Langdon’s satanic foster mother, but she could very well be the “Westworld”-like robot. Her timeline is kind of confusing. Langdon meets up with her in the woods and he lays out his plan to destroy the coven from within and take over the world.

Just like when the Seven Wonders were explained in “Coven,” the tests are shown in a silent movie scene with subtitles explaining the different powers. Langdon effortlessly performs them all, but for the final test, ascending to and from Hell, Cordelia asks him to bring back Misty Day (Lily Rabe). The warlocks think she’s playing gender games and setting him up for failure, but Cordelia shuts that down real quick, reminding them she outranks them all. The overt feminism of “Coven” is back with “Apocalypse” and I’m not complaining one bit.

Stuck in Hell since the end of season 3, “Coven’s” Misty Day returns.

In case anyone’s forgotten, while attempting to perform the Seven Wonders in Season 3, Misty was unable to escape Hell and made to forever relive her worst nightmare — dissection day at school, where she brings a dead frog back to life and is forced to kill it by the teacher. The endless cycle finally breaks when Langdon shows up and slices the teachers stomach open. He brings her back from the dead with some equally poor CGI as she appears from thin air on the floor.

Cordelia and Myrtle talk with Misty, admitting they’ll never let Langdon be the Supreme; they just wanted to see how powerful he was. As a ‘thank you’ (and also probably a ‘sorry for sending you to Hell’) Cordelia calls Misty’s favorite artist who’s also a witch, Stevie Nicks, to come and sings “Gypsy” in a scene that’s nothing but fan service, complete with Misty’s signature shawl-spinning move. It went on a little too long, but I’m sure diehard Fleetwood Mac fans were swooning across the country.

Billy Porter hears Cordelia enlist Madison (Emma Roberts) to go digging for dirt on Landgon and demands to tag along. With no other choice, Madison agrees and asks what makes the address Cordelia handed her so important. I knew it was coming, but I still literally gasped when they revealed the destination: season one’s Murder House.

“Boy Wonder” was a pretty solid episode of “AHS.” It wasn’t as amazing as last week’s episode, but that might be because I thought last week was the best episode of all eight seasons. With Misty back, the witches are all finally reunited and I don’t miss any of the characters from Outpost at all.

Next week is not only Sarah Paulson’s directorial debut, but it’s also Jessica Lange’s long awaited “AHS” return!

[SPORTS] JON JONES-ALEXANDER GUSTAFSSON REMATCH SET FOR UFC 232

[SPORTS] JON JONES-ALEXANDER GUSTAFSSON REMATCH SET FOR UFC 232

UFC’s Final Event Of 2018 Gets Highly Anticipated Rematch

A long awaited rematch of arguably the UFC’s greatest fight ever will finally take place.

Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson will meet at UFC 232 on December 29th at the T-Mobile Arena.

UFC president Dana White announced the fight on Wednesday. The fight will be for a vacant UFC light heavyweight title.

Daniel Cormier, who will fight next month at UFC 230 when he defends his UFC heavyweight title vs Derrick Lewis, is expected to be stripped of the UFC light heavyweight title.

The event will also be headlined by a champion vs champion UFC women’s featherweight title fight between UFC featherweight champion Cris Cyborg and UFC bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes.

It’s a matchup fans have been salivating for years as the first met back in September 2013 in Toronto at UFC 165.

Jon Jones would be tested majorly by the Sweden challenger, who took Jones into deep waters for the first time in his career and pushed him to the limit.

It was a back and forth thriller that saw Jon Jones retain his UFC light heavyweight title as three judges scored the fight in his favor 48-47 to win by unanimous decision.

It’s a fight Gustafsson has wanted for years as he was ever so close to winning the title from Jones in their classic showdown.

The two have exchanged barbs on Twitter since then with Jones often taking a shot at Gustafsson saying that his most memorable achievement was a five-round loss to him at the UFC 165 event.

Jon Jones (21-1, 16-1 UFC) last fought in July 2017 at UFC 214 when he defeated arch-nemesis Daniel Cormier by 3rd-Round KO in Anaheim, California to win the UFC light heavyweight title.

The win would later be overturned as a no contest as Jones’ tested positive for a banned substance before the fight.

Jones had his fight license revoked as he was suspended for more than a year but would be cleared to resume his UFC career last month.

Alexander Gustafsson (18-4, 10-4 UFC) was scheduled for a fight at UFC 227 in August vs Volkan Oezdemir but would pull out with an undisclosed injury.

Gustafsson last competed in May 2017 when he outclassed and dominated Glover Teixeira, finishing him by 5th-Round KO in Stockholm, Sweden.
