NY Governor Andrew Cuomo Makes Juneteenth A Paid Holiday
Source: NurPhoto / Getty It’s only taken a century and a half but finally Juneteenth will officially be observed as a state holiday in New York State. According to ABC New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo has decided to sign legislation making Juneteenth (June 19) a paid holiday for New Yorkers months after issuing an executive order recognizing the day as such. Keep in mind this came in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic ravaging New York and Andrew Cuomo doing more to keep the Big Apple afloat than the “President” of the United States. “I am incredibly proud to sign into law this legislation declaring Juneteenth an official holiday in New York State, a day which commemorates the end to slavery in the United States,” the governor said. “This new public holiday will serve as a day to recogni...
Head-Nodding Woman Behind Donald Trump Revealed As A Failed Trump-Loving Congressional Candidate
Source: BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI / Getty We didn’t watch Donald Trump’s trainwreck disguised as a town hall, but those who did couldn’t but notice the one woman behind the “president” passionately nodding in agreement with every ridiculous lie he said. The woman who donned a red mask stuck out like a sore thumb, showing her support for the super-spreader-in-chief was revealed to be a failed Trump-loving congressional candidate who ran back in 2018. The Miami Herald outed the head-nodder as Mayra Joli, a native of the Dominican Republic, and revealed she flopped big time when she ran for Congress two years ago as a Trump-boot licking “Independent.” Joli hilariously was only able to get less than three percent of the vote against Rep. Donna Shalala (D-FL) and Republican Maria Elvira Salazar. After...

5 Best Moments From MTV Unplugged Presents ‘Miley Cyrus Backyard Sessions’
1. The Britney Spears cover Cyrus strutted onto her at-home stage looking like an 80s dream in a flowy zebra-print dress, matching gloves, big black-and-white sunglasses, gold accessories and, of course, her blonde mullet and a red lip. She kicked off the show with a rocked-out rendition of Spears’ 2007 hit “Gimme More.” The dark twist on the mid-2000s pop track was made complete with Cyrus’ characteristic rasp and Southern twang. 2. Nico’s “These Days” Following the grit of “Gimme More,” Cyrus smoothed it out with a breezy cover of Nico’s 1967 track “These Days.” Surrounded by palm trees with red paper hearts hanging from the leaves and the sunlight shining behind her, the singer had us holding onto summer as she sang...
Chaka Khan Says She’s Done Collaborating With Other Women — Even Ariana Grande
Chaka Khan has no interest in collaborating with her fellow female singers anymore, according to a very candid new interview. While chatting with VladTV (watch below), the legendary singer told host Luenell which artists she would consider working with.

I ain’t got nothing to say with a woman.” What makes Chaka’s answer especially surprising is that the pair just teamed up last year on “Nobody” for the 2019 Charlie’s Angels soundtrack, which Grande co-executive-produced in 2019. In a red-carpet interview for Variety‘s&n...
