#BYEFELICIA. TODAY viewers are apparently thrilled that Matt Lauer is gone.
LAWSUIT. Out Black Lives Matter organizer DeRay McKesson sues FOX host Jeanine Pirro for defamation: “Fox News host Jeanine Pirro smeared Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson by claiming he directed violence against a Baton Rouge police officer in 2016, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday. The defamation case Mckesson filed in Manhattan Supreme Court stems from Pirro’s commentary about a protest over the fatal police shooting of Alton Sterling, a black man, on July 5, 2016. Mckesson, 32, had attended a protest over the shooting and was arrested, but charges against him were dismissed — and he and about 185 other protesters later settled a suit against the Baton Rouge police for $136,000.”
LIL PEEP. Rapper died of overdose of Xanax and Fentanil. “The Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner on Friday released details from a toxicology report. The budding star, whose real name was Gustav Ahr, was found dead in November on his tour bus ahead of a scheduled concert in Tucson. He was 21. With the report, the medical examiner certified the cause of death as the effects of the pain medication fentanyl and alprazolam, which is used to treat anxiety. The death was certified as accidental.”
AUSTRALIA. Meet the gay couple who will likely be the first to marry: “30-year-old Stephanie Dyball will now legally marry her 32-year-old partner Megan Stapleton next Thursday in regional Victoria. The couple successfully applied for a waiver of the one-month waiting period because their celebrant told them if they provided the evidence to the Births Deaths and Marriages Office they may be given the right to legally marry earlier.”
DEAR EVAN HANSEN. Noah Galvin on how he’s trying to make the Broadway show his own.
MINNESOTA. Lt. Gov. Tina Smith to replace Al Franken: “In selecting Smith, the governor is choosing one of his most trusted advisers and someone who has worked for years traveling the state and building relationships with influential DFLers and business leaders. Smith was Dayton’s first chief-of-staff after careers at General Mills, Planned Parenthood and the city of Minneapolis, where she was chief-of-staff to former Mayor R.T. Rybak.”
SNL. Colin Jost and Michael Che named new co-head writers: “They will join current head writers Kent Sublette and Bryan Tucker. The duo’s appointment brings the number of SNL co-head writers back to four. They fill the void left by the departure of former co-head writers Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider who left at the beginning of the season to segue to their Comedy Central series executive produced by SNL boss Lorne Michaels.”
GREEN AREAS. A new forest cover map of the U.S.
TV TRAILER OF THE DAY. Homeland Season 7.
BOYS. The Queer Collective put a call out for anyone who identifies with the word ‘boy’ to make a video inspired by Charli XCX’s Boys music video because we want to showcase the diversity of the word ‘boy.’

EU Withdrawal Bill: The 12 Tories Who Voted Against Theresa May On Brexit
Twelve Tory MPs have received plaudits from across the political divide for voting against the Government in order to put into law that MPs would get a meaningful vote on the Brexit deal agreed with Brussels.
Parliament has taken back control. The final Brexit deal will have to be approved by Parliament. Hats off to the Tory rebels who held firm and stuck to their principles. #EUWithdrawalBill#Amendment7
— David Lammy (@DavidLammy) December 13, 2017
Just 305 MPs sided with the Government, giving the rebels victory and with it, Theresa May’s first Parliamentary defeat as Prime Minister.
Some 12 MPs from her party voted for the amendment to the EU Withdrawal Bill – only 11 are technically rebels as John Stevenson voted both ‘aye’ and no’.
And as soon as the result was announced, the recriminations began – Stephen Hammond was sacked as vice chair of the Conservative Party.
Tonight I put country and constituency before party and voted with my principles to give Parliament a meaningful vote.
— Stephen Hammond MP (@S_Hammond) December 13, 2017
Very disappointed to no longer be Vice Chairman of the Conservative Party for London. It was a huge honour and I’ll continue to campaign across our capital in the run up to the Borough elections next year.

Joe Biden Comforts Meghan McCain Over Her Father’s Cancer Diagnosis: WATCH
Joe Biden, who lost his son Beau to the same type of aggressive cancer as Senator John McCain (R-AZ) is battling, comforted McCain’s daughter Meghan, now a co-host on The View, when she began crying after addressing the issue on Wednesday’s show.
Said Biden, getting up from his chair to sit closer to McCain: “There is hope, and if anyone can make it, your dad. Her dad is one of my best friends. We’re like two brothers who were somehow raised by two different fathers or something because of our points of view. But I know, and I mean this sincerely, even when your dad got mad at me, saying I should get the hell off the ticket, remember what I said about your dad? I said, I know if I picked up the phone tonight and called John McCain and said, ‘I’m at Second and Vine in Oshkosh and I need your help, come,’ he’d get on a plane and come, and I would for him, too…I swear, guys, we’re going to beat this damn disease.”

Grenfell Criminal Investigation Could Take Years, Met Commissioner Cressida Dick Says
The police’s criminal investigation into the Grenfell Tower fire is likely to last until 2019 at the earliest and could even take several years to complete, the Metropolitan Police commissioner said on Wednesday.
Cressida Dick said it will take a “considerable period of time” to go through the interviews and evidence the force has collected in the past six months.
Relatives of the victims have told HuffPost UK that the most important thing was for police conduct a thorough investigation, with one adding it represented “our last hope”.
Metropolitan Police Service relayed the enormity of the scale of the investigation to the London Assembly earlier today.
Dick added that she had requested extra government funding for the police operation to help cover the costs of the criminal investigation.
Her comments come after the first hearings of the long-awaited public inquiry were held this week.
The procedural sessions, held on Monday and Tuesday, focussed on issues including how documents should be disclosed to “core participants”, including residents, survivors and relatives of those who died in the blaze on June 14.
Scotland Yard announced on Monday that they are investigating misconduct in public office charges as well as breaches of fire safety regulations, manslaughter and corporate manslaughter.
In an update to London Assembly members, Dick said: “I think we will be looking at the best part of next year before we finish all the reconstruction and forensic examination.
“As you know there are a very, very, very large number of people and records to either take statements from or either examine forensically so I’m not going to put a timescale on that.”
The public inquiry and criminal investigation can run parallel to one another.
A spokesperson for the Grenfell Tower inquiry said in a statement: “The public inquiry and the Metropolitan Police Service investigation are independent of each other and each is being conducted under separate legal powers.
“The inquiry has a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Police.
“This MoU formalises the arrangement for sharing information with the Met Police and will enable the Inquiry to proceed and use relevant evidence that is obtained in the course of the police investigation, but in a manner that does not risk or prejudice their investigation or any subsequent criminal proceedings.”

London Drag Queen Barred From Mariah Carey Concert Because She Was Dressed in Drag
A drag queen claims she was turned denied entry to a Mariah Carey Christmas concert in London on Monday because of her outfit.
Coral Deville said that despite having tickets, she was refused entry to the concert at London’s O2 Arena because she was dressed in drag.
Deville wrote on Twitter:
“OMG OMG OMG turned away from 02 arena for being in drag. WHAT?????? I have valid tickets!!!!!! SOMEONE HELP!!!!!”
She said it was “entirely my fault” for turning up “as the ‘other’ me” but added she had been left upset and embarrassed by the incident.
Deville is now seeking legal advice for what she has called “a police matter.”
A spokesperson for The O2 Arena said: “We take the claims seriously and are currently investigating the circumstances around this incident.”
“Our policy is certainly not to refuse anyone entry based upon what they are wearing,” the statement added.
Deville’s Twitter account has since been deleted.
