Al Roker announces that he’s battling prostate cancer

(Photo by: Nathan Congleton/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images via Getty Images) Al Roker, the sweet jolly weatherman that has been the first person many of us saw each morning for decades, has announced he has prostate cancer. Roker, 66, made the announcement live on the air on Friday, adding that he is “going to be OK.” “It’s a good news-bad news kind of thing,” Roker said on the Today Show. “Good news is we caught it early. Not great news is that it’s a little aggressive, so I’m going to be taking some time off to take care of this.” NBC says Roker will undergo surgery in New York next week at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Roker added that he went public with his diagnosis because he wanted to highlight the dangers the disease poses to American men. One in nine men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetimes. The disease also disproportionately affects Black men, as one in seven African-American men will face a prostate cancer diagnosis.

Elon Musk has created Tesla tequila, just in time for election

We all know Elon Musk is a little … how should we say… not right.  But billions of dollars and a whole lot of intellect is bound to make a person impatient and jumpy. So word is in the spring he talked about making an April Fools joke by releasing a tequila in his company’s name.  I guess the idea kept sounding sweeter and sweeter because it happened. The automaker now lists Tesla Tequila (a bit different from the original Teslaquila branding) on its website. The tequila — described as a “small-batch premium 100% de agave tequila añejo made from sustainably sourced highland and lowland agaves,” is housed in a handblown glass bottle shaped in the electric charge symbol. Oh, and it costs $250. A tiktoker that I am obsessed with bought a bottle last night and I’m anxiously awaiting her review. Till then, we’ll have to speculate that it tastes over priced and a little nutty. The post Elon Musk has created Tesla tequila, just in time for election appeared first on Today's Evil Beet Gossip.

Ice Cube calls out SNL for calling him greedy

So it wasn’t so much that SNL called Lil Wayne and Ice Cube “greedy” so much as they called them out for being Trump supporters, that likely got them angry.  I mean… maybe?  Unless taxes are really all you care about. Ice Cube worked with the Trump administration ahead of the 2020 presidential race, and continues to face criticism. After Jim Carrey’s Joe Biden poked fun at the actor-rapper during the most recent Saturday Night Live cold open, Ice Cube fired back. “F**ck you SNL…trying to reduce me to greed,” he tweeted on Sunday. The cold open in question saw Carrey’s VP read Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven, updated with a 2020 election twist. Appearing to warn the presidential candidate were Kate McKinnon’s Hilary Clinton and Fivethirtyeight’s Nate Silver (Mikey Day). Later in the sketch, Kenan Thompson and Chris Redd came on to the scene donning red “Make America Great Again” hats as Ice Cube and rapper Lil’ Wayne, respectively. I queued up the scene, so you decide. The post Ice Cube calls out SNL for calling him greedy appeared first on Today's Evil Beet Gossip.
