Not so Sterling

Donald Sterling called Magic Johnson a bad “example for children” despite his own extramarital exploits. At least Sterling had some good advice for the children in a deposition from a few years ago: “If you are having sex with a woman you are paying for, you always call her honey because you can’t remember her name.”

In our depressed economy, graduates don’t need another commencement speech telling them to be entrepreneurial or socially conscious. Howard University rightly recognized that what they need is a good hype man, and no one’s better than Diddy. Except maybe Flava Flav, UNC’s 2015 commencement speaker. Yeeah Boyyy.

Look Solange, we get it. It sucks that Bey put her toddler Blue Ivy on her album instead of you, her talented R&B-singing sister. But attacking Mr. Beyonce Knowles? On the night of the classiest event you’ll ever be invited to? It’s not a good look, especially because you’re only there due to your sister’s nepotism.

Hot in herre

Potential republican presidential hopeful Marco Rubio doesn’t believe in man-made global warming, saying, “I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate.” That’s absurd. Has he looked in a mirror at his absurdly good looks? He’s evidence of it himself! If he runs, the primaries will be sooo hot.
