Drake winning multiple awards at Billboard Music Awards 2017. Vanessa and Ludacris shine as hosts

Two nights ago, the Billboard Music Awards happened in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena. Rapper/actor, Ludacris; and Vanessa Hudgens, young beautiful 'High school musical' actress; were the hosts. Ludacris was hilarious, just like his name means; at the show in terms of being the cool MC. Vanessa Hudgens did a rendition of Celine Dion's 'Power of Love' hit song. Some people enjoyed Vanessa's version, but others tweeted some negative comments about Miss Hudgens. Since twitter is not an app. on my Samsung Galaxy s6 smartphone, it was not possible for me to read the negative tweets. Do not tweet between the sheets, or do twitter on the $hitter. Vanessa did a rendition of Nicki Minaj's song too. Back in the day, she used to date Zac Efron. Zac was her former costar on 'high school musical,' and off screen romance. Back to the BBMA's, Drake was quite funny in one of his acceptance speeches after winning one of his 13 awards. Yes, Drake won many awards and it was 13 to be precise. He won more awards than Adele's previous record of 12 awards in the 2012 BBMA's. BBMA is short for billboard music awards. FYI!! Celine Dion performed at the awards show, and she got many fans wanting to see her after the show to pay their respects. Drake met Celine in the after party, and he wants to get 'celine' as a tattoo on himself. Drizzy, please don't do that!! Drake thanked Nicki Minaj, and Lil' Wayne in one of his speeches. Drake and Nicki got in some LA, aka Lip Action. He gave a shoutout to Vanessa Hudgens too, and he may have 'the hots' for Vanessa. Drake should get Vanessa's digits. Drake won most of his awards for his 'views' album, from 2016. Drake's new album, 'More Life'; is getting some airplay on the radio. Some good songs are 'Portland', 'Fake Love', and 'Free Smoke.' Back to the music awards, the Chainsmokers performed with Halsey. Kevin Hart and Ed Helms were some of the many presenters. The show was probably one of the best, as many radio stations are talking about it each day of this week on their morning and evening shows. One of my favorite musical artists, John Legend; performed his song 'surefire.' It is a great track. Then, he performed with Florida Georgia Line for their country music songs. Way to be diverse, JL!! Ok, that's a wrap for the talented g. ripley on this BBMA's 2017 review. Peace! Enjoy the picture of Vanessa, and Ludacris before the awards show started.

FBI Director Comey fired in shocking manner. But, was it overdue?

If you are a democrat supporter, you may been have shocked by today's stunning news of James Comey's termination as FBI director. James Comey is no longer the FBI director. He found out the news, by watching it literally on TV. James was in the Los Angeles area, as he was supposed to speak at an FBI recruiting event in nearby Hollywood on Tuesday night. Instead, he did not even make it to the Directors Guild Awards (DGA) building in Hollywood. It is a sad way for Mr. Comey to learn, that he was fired by President Donald Trump. Mr. Comey went into a motorcade, and went on a private jet en route to Washington to get the official word. Furthermore, Mr. Trump has fired some well known prosecutors in his first four months. In addition to FBI Director Comey, both Preet Bharara and Sally Yates were dismissed in eccentric ways. Yet, Comey could have lost his job at the end of January. Many Republican supporters wanted Comey to be replaced, as many government officials are replaced when a new presidential regime takes over. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. is a longstanding senator that is calling the Comey firing, as another big mistake by the Trump administration. Schumer is calling for a special prosecutor to investigate the Trump-Russia probe. Many politicians are stating that the DOJ (dept. of Justice) should have been investigating the Trump-Russia probe, not the FBI itself. In the end, it appears that some Democrats including Schumer had lost confidence in James Comey. With James Comey's tenure at the FBI ending, who could be the next FBI director? It is the first time since 1993, that an FBI director was fired. Andrew McCabe will oversee the FBI, until the POTUS appoints a new director. Some Democratic politicians, like Sen. Bob Casey from Pennsylvania, are terming the firing as a 'Nixonian' move. It is a direct comparison to the Richard Nixon days as President, almost 45+ years ago. In closing, James Comey came under fire for his handling of the Hillary Clinton private e-mail server investigation in summer/fall of 2016. What's next on the career front for Mr. Comey? James Comey could join the faculty, of a prestigious law school at a DC University a la Georgetown. Or, he could retire from the public eye. Doubt that is going to happen. Nonetheless, we wish Mr. Comey the best in his future endeavors. Remember the best revenge is living well!
