I have to admit – I’m writing this on Sunday evening after working all day on Sunday while having a horrible case of the scaries due to an early Monday meeting. So take this for what it is, because frankly, you should just be thankful I’m coherent enough to string some words together into sentences. But while I had to work half of the weekend, I still had a better weekend than these people.
Beyoncé
Let’s be honest, any weekend as Beyoncé is probably a pretty good weekend. But let’s check out an Insta she posted over the weekend:
Yes, that’s right: Beyoncé went vegan, which is frankly enough to ruin anyone’s weekend. I mean, I could go meat-free, but dairy? No cheese? Not to mention that it’s Easter-candy season and I sure as hell ain’t giving up Mini-Eggs. I’d pretty much do anything to be like Beyoncé but I draw the line at giving up cheese and chocolate.

Jermall Charlo
Professional boxer Charlo may boost a 26-0 record in the ring, but he definitely struck out on this weekend at Jay-Z’s 40/40 club when it turned out some ladies he was partying with were more interested in his cash than his cuteness.
The 26-year-old was at the club in NYC’s Flatiron district early Sunday morning when he got into a fight with someone at the club around 3 a.m. During the dustup, Charlo’s assistant handed one of the women the guys were hanging with a bag containing $40,000 in cash and $115,000 worth of jewelry – and she, along with four of her friends, promptly took off with it.
The woman and her friends were caught on security cameras and cops are trying to track them down, but honestly, if you bring a bag worth $155,000 into a club and hand it to a stranger…you’ve got no one to blame but yourself here, Jermall. [via New York Post]
JR Smith
NBA stars get suspended all the time for some relatively stupid things, but I have to say, this is the first time I’ve heard of a soup-throwing incident.
The Cavaliers’ JR Smith was suspended by the team for Thursday night’s game for “conduct detrimental to the team” after he allegedly threw a bowl of soup at assistant coach Damon Jones. I say allegedly because all head coach Tyronn Lue would say regarding the suspension was that “Something happened after shootaround.”
Give that the Cavs lost 108-97 to the 76ers while Smith served his suspension, I imagine this gif was texted to Smith by his teammates at least once:

Maria Larios
I have all of my senses and flying is bad enough, but imagine if you had to try and navigate the shitshow that is most airports if you lacked your sight? Well, if you were Ms. Larios, it would mean that the fine folks at United would help you onto a flight…to the wrong city.
Ms. Larios, who is partially blind, was traveling to North Carolina from her native El Salvador to be with her daughter who was undergoing brain surgery. Her daughter-in-law arranged special assistance for her during a stopover in Houston, but yet she was still put on the wrong flight – winding up in Denver instead of Raleigh.
Originally, Larios was only given a meal voucher for her troubles, but after her relatives noted to the airline that they lost a human being as opposed to a piece of luggage, a full refund and a travel voucher was issued, and Larios was taken to Raleigh to be with her daughter.
United issued a statement, saying in part, “Our customer care team is in contact with her family to ensure we make this right. We are also investigating this incident internally to better understand what happened so that we can prevent this from happening again.”
Well, at least they didn’t drag her off the plane, right? [via People]
Alex Baldwin
As his tweets demonstrate, our commander-in-chief isn’t exactly great with spelling, and that came into play on Friday when he tweeted about “Alex Baldwin’s” portrayal of him on SNL. Of course, it’s actor Alec Baldwin who does the Trump impersonation on Saturday Night Live, but that didn’t stop people from harassing the shit out of some poor guy from Los Angeles.
Even though the President corrected the tweet about 30 minutes later, that didn’t stop the 28-year-old web designer from getting slammed by everyone from random Trump supports to Russian bots. He reached out to Twitter support for help, but eventually just suspended his own account to stop the bots from flooding his DMs.
Of course, I’d be happy with anyone sliding into my DMs but that’s just me.

Jenna used to be known as 2NOTBrokeGirls, but then one of the girls actually went broke, so she's struck out on her own. Jenna spends her free time saving the world, one sorority girl at a time (usually while wearing yoga pants), questioning why she decided to get a doctorate, documenting her love of all things cheese related, and hosting the new PGP podcast Don't Take It From Us. You can ask her anything you want about football, using your boobs to get what you want, and pizza at @JennaLCrowley on Twitter or via email at JennaLCrowley@gmail.com.

Can we throw an honorable mention to the Munchies Twitter account? They tweeted out a picture of some very terrible looking bbq (calling it bbq is generous) and titled it “Why is Brooklyn Barbecue taking over the World?” They subsequently got torched by the entire internet in rare moment of unity among twitter.
Yup, KC, Texas, Carolina etc. squaded up to smash that nonsense
The fact that nobody has ever heard of “Brooklyn Barbecue” nullifies their entire take.
The whole point of the article though is that the Brooklyn style barbecue IS much more bitch made than KC and Texas BBQ…. yet other countries are seeing the Brooklyn fu-fu kind of BBQ pop up in their larger cities.
Everybody trashing that tweet just didn’t read the damn article…
Yes, hi, this is the internet, have you two met?
Of course this happened on United. United is the worst.
“@realDonaldTrump just tagged you in a tweet. See what he said!”
“Shit. There goes my day”
United has to have sent out multiple memos to customer facing employees to stop making people hate them more than the other airlines
The Cavs didn’t lose bc of Smith’s suspension. The Sixers won bc they are still riding the wave of the Eagles Super Bowl victory.
