Kid Rock responded to the backlash earlier this week, releasing a statement to Fox News host Megyn Kelly, saying, “Please tell the people who are protesting to kiss my a--/Ask me some questions.” Fox News noted, at the time, that Kid Rock doesn’t use the Confederate flag because of its racial undertones, but rather because he likes the Southern pride associated with it. The network also reminded its viewers that the singer has a biracial son named Robert James Richie, Jr. and now a biracial grandchild.

Shortly after Kid Rock’s comment to Fox News, Seth Rogen mocked the singer’s strong connection to the South. Rogen tweeted, “Does Kid Rock know he’s from Detroit?” Tell us what you think about Kid Rock’s comment to the Confederate flag protestors and Seth Rogen’s tweet about the singer?

Jared Fogle is under investigation by the FBI for child pornography, and now it has been revealed that a Florida woman wore a wire while speaking to the Subway spokesman to aid in the investigation.

According to Fox 59, federal authorities have confirmed that the woman wearing the wire provided them with key information that led to the raid of Fogle’s home earlier this week. While Fogle has not been arrested or charged with any crime, it is believed that the raid was a part on an ongoing child pornography investigation.

State and federal authorities raided Fogle’s Zionsville home on Tuesday, July 7, and spent approximately 11 hours searching the property. They then removed several computers, DVDs, and other electronic equipment. Fogle’s personal cell phone was also confiscated by the police.

The woman, whose identity is being kept concealed, played a vital role in obtaining information for the authorities. While speaking to Fogle, she said he made “surprising and inappropriate” remarks about the subject of child pornography. The comments were so alarming that they led her to contact the FBI.

During a Broadway production of Hand to God at the Booth Theater, the site Broadway Adjacent reported that an audience member walked up to the stage to try to charge his phone. At first blush, we thought that this meant the man went up to the apron of the stage and charged it there. Nope! There's now video evidence showing that the rudest man on Broadway walked onto the stage to plug in his phone.

Broadway Adjacent even reports that after the ushers got him offstage and returned his phone, he had the nerve to ask, "Well, where can I charge it?" And then he wasn't even kicked out! Jeez, and here we thought texting during the performance would be rude.

BERLIN (AP) -- A man is in hot water after allegedly stealing a bicycle, pitching it through a Berlin restaurant window, then entering and quaffing half a bottle of Tabasco sauce - telling authorities he was thirsty.

Police spokesman Jens Berger said Tuesday the 34-year-old was intoxicated, but it wasn't clear why he went for the bottle of Tabasco to quench his thirst. He says the man may have mistaken it for a tiny bottle of liqueur, popular in Germany.

Neighbors alerted police overnight after hearing the window smash. The man was arrested inside the restaurant.

Well played.

A North Dakota man crafted his extraordinary obituary with just two words: “Doug died.”

Douglas Legler, an 85-year-old prankster known for his goofy sense of humor, died Saturday in Fargo. He left behind a loving family — and very specific instructions for his obituary.

“He said over and over, when I die I want my obituary to just say, ‘Doug Died,’” Janet Stoll, Legler's daughter, told WDAY. “(Other people's obituaries) would say, ‘He was the president of this, a director of this,’ and Dad would say, ‘What, couldn't they hold down a job?

In what was apparently an egregious mistake in the projection booth, a recent showing of Pixar’s Inside Out at an Ohio theater ended up showing a different film that was well outside the safe, colorful boundaries of kid-friendly fare: Insidious: Chapter 3. It was an involuntary film swap that quite clearly wasn’t well-received by the parents of young children.

Local Ohio paper, Journal-News, caught wind of the incident after an infuriated mother named Jazmyn Moore took to the paper’s Facebook page to vent her frustration about the potentially long-lasting damage done to her horror film-exposed children. According to the woman's post:

I got our money back but the damage is already done … my children are terrified and keep asking questions.


The theater manager quickly provided reparation for the monumental mistake with not only an apology, but refunds and an upgrade to see Inside Out in the costlier 3D format. The measure seems to have mollified the majority of the moviegoers, with the exception of Moore, who continued to cite the impact of her children’s brief exposure to the PG-13-rated Insidious prequel.

A New York City man in a car reported stolen was caught Saturday after he got lost and ran out of gas on Route 33 in Northampton County, authorities said.

Cristian Osorio, 26, of Queens, N.Y., entered the vehicle that was parked in his New York City borough early Friday morning and began driving it to Syracuse, state police at Belfast said.

Osorio apparently got mixed up at some point and ended up driving into Pennsylvania, coming near mile marker 10.4 in Plainfield Township when he ran out of gas. A state trooper arrived to help the driver of the disabled vehicle around 4 p.m. Saturday and found out the vehicle was registered as stolen from New York.

Osorio was charged with receiving stolen property and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. He was in Northampton County Prison under $15,000 bail.

Univision is canceling its telecast of the Miss USA pageant, an event partially owned by Donald Trump, to protest Trump's offensive remarks about Mexicans.

Univision is the biggest Spanish-language broadcaster in the United States, so its decision is a blow to the Miss Universe Organization, a joint venture of Trump and Comcast's NBCUniversal division.

Last week, in his speech announcing a run for president, Trump deplored immigrants from Mexico who "have lots of problems" and are "bringing those problems to us."

Orem, Utah — SALT LAKE CITY — (KUTV) On Friday, a man named Andy Larsen Right warned the Orem Owlz on Twitter, to cancel “Caucasian Heritage Night” because it was a mistake that could create a national news story.

By then, it was too late. News organizations across the country were talking about it. Most people wondered why the minor league baseball team would hold such an event, with such a title.

“I thought it was a joke,” said Jeanetta Williams, Executive Director of the NAACP in Salt Lake City.

She, like other people who posted online comments around the country, wondered why the Owlz would create such an event given the spike in racial tensions nationally after the shooting deaths of nine Black people in Charleston and other deadly shootings of Black Americans by police in various states.
