Iggy Azalea Black Shamed Over Eric Garner Case By Longtime Rap Enemy
Iggy Azalea is only interested in black penises ... and not important issues in the black community -- if you believe the latest attack from her longtime rap nemesis Azealia Banks.
Banks -- who's never passed on a chance to blast Iggy -- launched her latest tirade hours after the grand jury decision NOT to indict an NYPD officer in the Eric Garner homicide.
Banks said, "If you're down to ride with us bitch you gotta RIDE ALL THE WAY" -- and then added this gem ... "Don't just be down to ride Black D**k...If you with us you WITH US."
Banks' attempt to pull Iggy into a Twitter war failed for several hours -- but when Iggy finally did respond she merely referred to Banks as a social media troll using world issues to spark fan battles.

Rosie O'Donnell Impossible on 'The View' Days are Numbered
Rosie O'Donnell is a "malcontent" who is bringing down "The View" and is impossible to deal with ... so claim well-placed sources in the show's production.
We're told Rosie came in thinking she'd be in the lead position at the table -- "the moderator." We're told she was outraged when it became clear the title and the power belonged to Whoopi.
Our sources say Rosie has been impossibly rude to members of the cast and crew, both on and off camera.
We're told she seems "very depressed" and has few personal interactions with anyone off camera.
The ratings are down and execs are blaming Rosie.
The honchos have tried talking with Rosie but they say it's like talking to a wall. They doubt she will even finish the season and another season we're told is "out of the question."
Rosie's rep tells TMZ ... "This is absolutely false! Whoopi Goldberg has been the moderator since Whoopi was hired and Rosie knew that before she took the job."

Wladimir Klitschko might be in trouble ... 'cause his number one enemy Shannon Briggs is hanging out with an '80s movie star who might posses a weapon capable of dethroning the champ.
The all powerful "Glow."
Briggs spent some time recently with Taimak -- that's right, the dude who played Leroy Green in the urban Kung Fu classic "The Last Dragon" -- and says the two worked on some "deep breathing techniques."
Yeah right fellas ... this was a "Glow" session.
If you're not aware, "The Glow" is an ancient fighting weapon that can only be achieved when mind, body and soul become one.
It covers your whole body in badassness and helped Leroy Green defeat Sho'nuff ... and now Briggs might have this (entirely fictitious) weapon at his disposal.
Sorry Wlad, it's all over. Check out "The Glow" in action below.

Barr posted a photo of her swollen and badly bruised face with the caption "tussle w bill cosby."
Apparently, no one found it funny. She took it down and reposted with an explanation, saying, "Got a chemical peel to look more sexier. Joked about tussling cosby."
Better luck next time.

Omarosa Hey, Trump ... Lay Off Obama! You Don't Know JACK About Ferguson
Omarosa Manigault is ripping her old boss Donald Trump ... saying he's talking out of his ass when he blames President Obama for the Ferguson riots -- and Trump has no clue what's really happening there.
Omarosa -- a veteran of 3 seasons of "The Apprentice" -- tells TMZ Trump is entitled to his opinion ... but claims he's making up facts when he says Obama's weak leadership is responsible for America's racial divide.
Trump tweeted ... Obama has "no control (or respect) over the African-American community" -- and blamed him for blacks doing "so poorly" under his presidency.
Omarosa tells us ... she thinks Trump is full of BS, and claims she personally spent time in Ferguson working alongside White House personnel sent by the President to deal with the crisis.
She also says Trump is the one who's making things worse because -- "With tensions high in our community we don't need more divisiveness! And the Obama bashing is getting a bit redundant."
So much for that 4th go-round on 'Apprentice.'

Jordin Sparks Tears Into Jason Derulo You Ungrateful SOB

Member when you broke your neck and I had to wash your back for you.
You probably don't remember half the shit that i did for you."
And it goes on ...
"Once you blew up, head got big and you started changing.
Can't believe all the things that you started saying.
Like I'm with you for your fame and your name. What?"

Ariana Grande to Bette Midler If I'm the Kettle, You're the Pot
2:27 P.M. PST -- Ariana just posted on Twitter, "Bette was always a feminist who stood for women being able to do whatever the F they wanted without judgement! not sure where that Bette went but I want that sexy mermaid back!!! always a fan no matter what my love"
Ariana Grande is both hurt and more than a little indignant that Bette Midler called her a whore in a recent interview, telling friends she embraces sexuality on stage -- JUST LIKE BETTE DID.
Midler pissed off Grande with her comment, "It's always surprising to see someone like Ariana Grande with that silly high voice, a very wholesome voice, slithering on a couch," adding, "You don't have to make a whore out of yourself to get ahead."
People close to Ariana tell us, the singer is "shocked" Midler called her out for 2 reasons ... 1) Ariana is a huge Bette Midler fan, and 2) Bette did exactly the same thing Ariana does.
Truth be told ... when Bette Midler hit big in the '70s ... she was overtly sexual and raunchy on stage.

Bette Midler Ariana, You Don't Have To Be a Whore
Bette Midler just took direct aim and fired at Ariana Grande, telling her she acts like a whore for nothing.
Midler did an interview with The Telegraph, grousing about the state of the music biz. She's particularly disgusted with Grande, saying, "It's always surprising to see someone like Ariana Grande with that silly high voice, a very wholesome voice, slithering around on a couch."
Midler goes on, "... Looking so ridiculous. I mean it's silly beyond belief and I don't know who's telling her to do it."
And then the punch. In giving advice to aspiring singers, Midler says, "Trust your talent. You don't have to make a whore out of yourself to get ahead."
It's interesting. In the 70s Midler was considered to have one of the raunchiest acts around.
