A Minneapolis police officer was convicted of murdering Floyd by kneeling on his neck for nearly nine minutes while he was face down on the ground. A video of the incident sparked mass protests around the globe.
Ever since the video went viral, some have falsely claimed that Floyd, who had drugs in his system, had actually died of an overdose unrelated to officer Derek Chauvin’s actions.

Meghan McCain’s days of ranting and raving about hot topics on “The View” are over – and fans of the show could not hide their excitement if they tried.
McCain officially signed off from the ABC talk show on Friday to considerable fanfare from longtime “View” viewers, with one commenter exclaiming, “the evil has been defeated!”
The conservative personality’s last day on the show was marked by more smiles and well-wishes than you’d expect for someone that seemingly left a path of interruptions and shouting wherever she went. After a montage of some of McCain’s highlights from the show played, she signed off by thanking “The View” cast, crew and audience for allowing her to “give my opinion and show my perspective.”
“I don’t know what else to say, other than, thank you all so much, again, for the privilege and honor that it has been...

Meghan McCain opened herself up to some mockery on Monday after she complained that she doesn’t know when she’ll get access to a Covid-19 vaccine.
The comments, which came during the same “The View” segment where she called for Dr. Anthony Fauci to be fired, started with a point we’ll concede is somewhat fair to bring up: That in her view, it’s a problem that messaging from U.S. officials seems to suggest that even with the vaccine people won’t be able to resume normal life for a long, long time. After a clip during which Dr. Anthony Fauci wouldn’t make any kind of specific recommendation about what people can do after getting vaccinated, McCain compared that to Israel where, she said, people are being told if they get the vaccine they can resume normal life.

Madonna was set to pay tribute to the Queen of Soul at Monday’s VMAs, but the speech seemed to be all about the Queen of Pop — Madonna herself, that is.
MTV asked Madonna to honor Aretha Franklin, who died Thursday, during her intro for the video of the year winner announcement. Most of the tribute to Franklin, however, was spent explaining the early origins of Madonna’s career. The only mention of Franklin was that Madonna sang “(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman” to — ultimately unsuccessfully — audition for a song. She credited that failure with launching her into a different opportunity that led to the rest of her career.
She added towards the end of her speech: “I want to thank you, Aretha, for empowering all of us. R-e-s-p-e-c-t. Long live the queen.”
“I’m so lost,” Charlamagne Tha God wrote on Twitter. “I thought Madonna was...

Never fear, everybody, Aaron Paul's got this! Nothing can stop his awesome, and he is probably clutch in a real-life crisis -- which is not to be confused with a celebrity Twitter feud crisis, which is mostly just amusing. The latest crisis started with Nicki Minaj, who was denied a VMAs nomination for "Feeling Myself," leading to a passive-aggressive online spat with Taylor Swift, resulting in the "Breaking Bad" alum jumping in with an offer of peace pancakes and coffee.
Long story short, Nicki and her fans were upset with her VMAs snub(s), and Nicki tweeted some shots that seemed like they were directed at Taylor Swift and "Bad Blood," without ever mentioning Taylor's name. The Hollywood Reporter documented the back and forth, but here's part of the Nicki-Taylor exchange:
When the "other" girls drop a video that breaks records and impacts culture they get that nomination.
