  • Snoop Dogg Pic Lands Texas Trooper in Hot Water

    It doesn’t matter who you are – if you see Snoop, you’re going to want to get a picture with Snoop.

    But beware: if you work for the Texas Department of Public Safety, it could get you in a little bit of trouble.

    A DPS trooper has been reprimanded and ordered into counseling after a photo of him and “known criminal” Snoop Dogg popped up on the rapper’s Instagram a couple of weeks ago.

    “Me n my deputy dogg,” reads the photo caption, which doesn’t mention officer Billy Spears by name.

    Apparently it didn’t matter, as The Dallas Morning News obtained a copy of the official reprimand.

    “While working a secondary employment job, Trooper Spears took a photo with a public figure who has a well-known criminal background including numerous drug charges. The public figure posted the photo on social media and it reflects poorly on the Agency,” said the memo from the Texas DPS.

    The Department of Public Safety has issued an official statement on the matter:

    “DPS does not typically discuss or release specifics of personnel issues unless they result in disciplinary action as outlined in Government Code 411.00755 and 411.0072. Supervisors counsel and coach employees on a regular basis, and these efforts do not constitute formal discipline by the department.”

    Spears’ attorney says that he’s calling attention to the matter because trooper Spears lacks any proper recourse.

    “It’s weird; it’s nuts and we’re waiting on DPS to explain itself,” he said. “Everyone keeps asking me if this is an April fool’s joke. I say ‘no, I promise it’s not.’”

    Long story short, DPS has no chill.

  • Don Lemon Suggests Bill Cosby Rape Accuser Could’ve Fought It Off by Biting His Penis

    If you clicked on this after reading the headline and thinking there’s no way that actually happened, well, prepared to be surprised.

    CNN talking head Don Lemon pressed a seriously troubling line of questioning during a Tuesday night interview with new Bill Cosby rape accuser Joan Tarshis. Earlier this week, Tarshis became the latest in a string of women to come forward alleging comedian Bill Cosby sexually assaulted them in the past. In a recent essay, Tarshis recounts numerous instances of alleged rape dating back to 1969.

    She appeared on CNN Tuesday night to discuss her allegations with Lemon, who took the interview to a very strange place.

    “I don’t mean to be crude, ok, because I know – and you said this last night – that you lied to him and said ‘I have an infection, and if you rape me, or if you have intercourse with me, then you will probably get it and give it to your wife.’ And you said he made you perform oral sex,” said Lemon.

    “Right,” said Tarshis.

    “You, you know – there are ways not to perform oral sex,” said Lemon.

    “Um, I was kinda stoned at the time and quite honestly, that didn’t even enter my mind,” said Tarshis. “Now I wish It would have.”

    “Right, meaning the using of the teeth, right,” Lemon asked, “as a weapon.”

    “Yes – I didn’t even think of it,” said Tarshis.

    “Yeah, biting,” said Lemon.

    You can watch the interchange below:

    As you might expect, this isn’t going over well.

    No word from Don Lemon on what could have possibly motivated him to ask a woman why she didn’t bite Bill Cosby’s penis when she was (allegedly) raped at the age of 19.
