President Obama Calls Kanye West a "Jackass" Again

Beware, Kim Kardashian: President Barack Obama still has mixed feelings about Kanye West.

Back in September 2009, Obama, 50, famously let his opinion be known about West's onstage ambush of Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards, calling the rapper, 34, a "jackass" for the stunt.
In a brand-new interview in the May issue of The Atlantic, the President explains that he prefers the music of Beyonce's husband Jay-Z over Jay's collaborator and friendly rival West.
"Although I like Kanye," Obama says in the chat. "He's a Chicago guy. Smart. He's very talented."
When The Atlantic's David Samuels reminds Obama of his 2009 "jackass" snipe, he replied, "He is a jackass. . . But he's talented."
Obama told CNBC in 2009 that West's onstage antics (which devastated Swift) were "wildly inappropriate." (Seemingly intoxicated, West ranted that Swift didn't deserve her Best Female Video award as much as fellow nominee Beyonce.)

"The young lady seems like a perfectly nice person," Obama complained. "She's getting her award. What's he doing up there? He's a jackass."

Marc Anthony Files For Divorce From Jennifer Lopez

Almost nine months after their separation, Marc Anthony has filed for divorce from Jennifer Lopez in Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this week.The catch-all "irreconcilable differences" box was checked.
Anthony's filing seeks joint legal and physical custody of the couple's twins, Emme and Max, 4, and that the judge dismiss any spousal support for Lopez.
Should she ask for it, that is, which is doubtful. This is likely a formality to make legal a split that has for all intents and purposes been settled already.

The duo married in 2004 and announced their breakup in July, but seem to have kept things amicable, at least when it comes to their reality show, Q'Viva!
Both have had relatively little to say about it publicly, but Anthony spoke out about the split afterward, and according to him, "It wasn't shocking."
It wasn't long before they moved on, either.
Marc has started dating a 24-year-old Venezuelan model Shannon De Lima and Lopez has become inseparable with backup dancer Casper Smart.

Charles Manson Parole: Denied!

Infamous mass murderer Charles Manson just lost his latest parole bid ... stunning.The hearing took place at Corcoran State Prison in California, where Manson, convicted of seven murders in 1969, has now been denied an even dozen times.
At the age of 77, this was probably his last shot at parole, as Sharon Tate's killer's case cannot be heard again for another 15 years from yesterday.
Of course, he was never going to get out anyway, so it's a moot point.
Only one "Manson Family" member convicted of murder has been paroled. Steve Grogan is out, having been released in 1985 for aiding the authorities and good behavior.
Charles Manson was originally sentenced to death row in 1972, but his sentence was commuted after the California death penalty was declared unconstitutional.
