Judge Mathis Accused Of Spitting On Valet

Judge Mathis may end up in front of one of his colleagues after a valet alleges that he spit on him during an argument.

According to TMZ Mathis parked his Rolls-Royce at Flood’s Bar and Grille in Detroit Friday night. When he left he is said to have waited 15 minutes for the valet to return with his keys, an amount of time Mathis adamantly disputes.

Anywho, when the valet finally got back, Mathis is said to have launched into a profanity-laced attack in front of customers and bystanders. After apologizing for running off with Mathis’ keys the valet tells police that the judge spit on him then fled the scene. A police report was filed that alleged criminal assault.

For his part, Mathis says the valet is full of s#!t. He took to TMZ live today to explain his version of the events.

Sounds like the valet is trying to get a lil’ revenge on the judge for embarrassing him publicly. Guess we’ll see how this plays out in court.

Anthony Mackie Doesn’t Want His Captain America Character To Be Defined By Race

When it comes to race we all know — it can be a very complicated matter — and Anthony Mackie addressed exactly that when Global Grind editor Xilla Valentine asked him about the importance of him becoming the Black Captain America. Mackie’s answer was just as complicated

“I think it’s a problematic situation when we define the characters we play by our race. I think it’s very important that we remember, that Captain America is still a character of the American people not just one specific part of the people. We didn’t call Chris Evans, white Captain America.”

BUT Mackie didn’t stop there — he acknowledged that seeing a black Captain America will be a great example to youngsters:

“Kids are going to be able to look at me and say, ‘Wow! there is a Black dude as Captain America. So for whatever that lends to them, it’s an opportunity for them to see themselves in a different situation. Just like little girls do with Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman. Just like white kids did with Chris Evans and just like green kids do with The Hulk.” Mackie believes this is his chance to give kids a way to see themselves outside of their present situation.

Green kids??? Do you think Mackie is just trying to walk a fine line or do you agree with his answer?

It’s official.

Keke Palmer was announced as the third co-host of the third hour of Good Morning America!

Palmer started as a guest co-host on GMA: Strahan and Sara when Sara Haines went on maternity leave. She soon started appearing regularly and her kinetic energy and infectious personality were undeniable. Eventually, rumors started swirling that Keke would be added as a regular co-host on Strahan and Sara.

Now, it seems contracts have been signed and dressing rooms furnished because Michael Strahan and Sara Haines announced on Monday that Keke is a permanent co-host and the show will be renamed GMA3: Strahan, Sara & Keke!

According to Shadow and Act, the executive producer of the show, Rory Albanese, said:

“It’s been a blast having Keke co-host this summer. She brings an unique and spontaneous energy viewers love. She’s a multitalented artist, and I’m thrilled to have her join Michael and Sara every day. The three of them are a terrific team, it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Though this might be some of America’s first exposure to Keke’s hosting abilities, the 26-year-old actress, singer and media personality has had plenty of practice.

Whether leading a conversation or going toe-to-toe with some of T.V. and radio’s biggest personalities, Keke was born to do this hosting thang.

Rashon Kahn, Alleged Ex-Bodyguard To Richard Pryor, Alleges That Paul Mooney Raped Richard’s Son

Rashon Kahn the alleged ex-bodyguard to late comedy legend Richard Pryor has made some serious allegations against Paul Mooney, Richard’s life long friend. In his talk with Comedy Hype, Rashon shares that Pryor wanted longtime friend Paul Mooney gone after allegedly violating his young son.

“Their relationship became fragile because Paul Mooney has f*cked Richard’s son by that time. He violated. Paul took advantage of the situation. There was a time where Paul Mooney was Richard’s friend. So when Paul did what he did it was a violation of friendship first, then ‘my son’. And in some circles that would be dealt with.”

Kahn went on to reveal that Pryor allegedly asked him to kill Paul Mooney for a $1 million reward for allegedly sexually assaulting Richard Jr, who Kahn says was a “little boy” at the time. Hit play to hear it.
