Hasta La Gadget!

Conservative provocateur James O’Keefe III said on Tuesday that he will soon release “hundreds of hours” of unaired footage secreted out of a major news organization.

The footage could come as early as Thursday, he told Fox News host Sean Hannity during a radio interview. The footage was provided to him, O’Keefe said, by people inside the network.

A Huffington Post reporter, who was also on the radio program, asked if O’Keefe had acquired the footage from camera or set crew members who would have access to it, but he declined to say. Networks record off-air interactions between hosts, reporters and guests, and a crew member sympathetic to O’Keefe’s cause could potentially access a lot of material.  

After the radio interview was recorded, HuffPost asked if O’Keefe would be releasing footage from multiple newsrooms or just one. “One corporation, multiple newsrooms,” he said.

O’Keefe said he’d be releasing the footage “WikiLeaks-style.” In fact, WikiLeaks has several distinct styles. At times, the organization has worked with major media outlets to break stories. In other instances, it has dumped everything it had on the internet at once. In the case of the John Podesta emails, WikiLeaks released new batches day by day.

O’Keefe wouldn’t divulge which particular network would be hit, but said it was one President Donald Trump has spent much time talking about recently. “It’s the one he’s always targeting,” O’Keefe said.

That would seem to suggest CNN. Trump has been on a tear against the network since it revealed the existence of an allegedly embarrassing dossier that intelligence agencies were investigating.

A CNN spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Last month, O’Keefe warned that he was “going after the media next” during an appearance at a pro-Trump inauguration event. “We’re inside their newsrooms,” he said.

O’Keefe first gained fame in 2009 with undercover videos targeting ACORN, a now-shuttered nonprofit that advocated on affordable housing, voter registration and other issues. After it was discovered that footage was deceptively edited, O’Keefe lost much of his credibility. His videos, while still heralded by conservatives, are now largely dismissed in the mainstream media.

It remains to be seen whether O’Keefe will produce any newsworthy footage this time. But if he has the goods, the national media will surely pay attention.

It’s been a busy two months for Paris Jackson. She was Rolling Stone’s February 2017 cover star, she hit a style home run at the Grammys, and now she’s one of CR Fashion Book’s latest cover stars. 

Rocking a blue Gucci gown, a totally rad, cropped hairdo, a bold red lip and long red nails, the 18-year-old and her piercing blue eyes looked gorgeous on one of three covers of the issue. 

Jackson joined rapper Gucci Mane and model Halima Aden, who each got their own respective covers, and was interviewed by director Lee Daniels inside the mag. Revealing that she hopes to possess her father’s “strength,” she explained how big of an influence he still has on her life.

“I would say 99 percent of my inspiration comes from him, because he has always been my world,” she said. “He is my roots.”

Jackson, who told Daniels she is currently “doing the modeling thing,” is also interested in acting and being involved in activism. She has a tattoo for Standing Rock and stands firmly against the utilization of real fur and leather in fashion. She also has seven piercings to represent her father’s favorite number and has upcoming plans to get a new tattoo with her mom, Debbie Rowe, who recently finished chemotherapy.

If this interview is any indication, we have a feeling we’re about to see ― and learn ― a lot more about Jackson than ever before.

Today in science that turns out to be totally bunk: Citronella candles warding off mosquitoes. At least, the natural “repellant” doesn’t seem to have any effect on one of the most notorious disease-spreading blood suckers on Earth.

A set of photos has leaked with what appears to be a Samsung Galaxy S8 dummy unit phone. This device almost certainly isn’t actually a full-fledged Samsung Galaxy S8, but a model created by accessory-makers. This 3D model – as we can safely assume it is – looks very much like the last several rendered images we’ve come across over … Continue reading
