3 Ice Cubes

Don Lemon- Credit: Instagram Don Lemon is officially out at CNN. This really is no surprise after he was in trouble a short time back. The longtime anchor had made a comment about women being past their prime which rubbed his co-anchors the wrong way. It also made waves behind the scenes and viewers were shocked that he would say such a thing. However, he also had made gender-offensive comments prior to this. Lemon soon took time away and was going to be working on his behavior. Now, according to NBC News, Don Lemon is saying he has been fired. Lemon went to Twitter to share the news, noting that his agent was the one to break the news to him.  "I a m stunned. After 17 years at CNN I would have thought someone in management would have had the decency to tell me directly."  "Don will forever be a part of the CNN family, and we thank him for his contributions over the past 17 years. We wish him well and will be cheering him on in his future endeavors," per a statem...

  Credit: Chris Cuomo Instagram CNN has fired Chris Cuomo effective immediately. The popular news anchor was previously on suspension. He is currently under investigation for involvement with his brother, former Governor Andrew Cuomo's , political wrongdoings. In a statement, Chris had this to say: “This is not how I want my time at CNN to end. But I have already told you why and how I helped my brother." Anderson Cooper has been filling in his time slot which normally aired at 9 pm in between Cooper and Don Lemon. He and Lemon had a beautiful bromance that carried many through the pandemic. Cuomo actually filmed his show while having COVID to give a face to the pandemic. What are your thoughts on Chris being fired? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter @3icecubes.

Hughley is the latest performer to announce his novel coronavirus diagnosis despite being asymptomatic. The actor/comedian, 57, has been traveling extensively so feeling worn out and dehydrated probably did not seem out of the norm for Hughley. Unfortunately, it took him collapsing on a Nashville stage, during a performance on Friday, Juneteenth. D.L. was taken to Saint Thomas Hospital in Nashville for testing, he confirmed via Instagram , and this is where he was officially diagnosed.  "I was what they call asymptomatic. I didn't have flu-like symptoms, I didn't have shortness of breath, I didn't have difficulty breathing, I didn't have a cough, I didn't have a low grade fever. I still don't have a fever. I didn't have a loss of smell or taste, apparently I just lost consciousness."   As o...

Instead, Breonna Taylor is being memorialized and is in the center of what CNN anchor, Don Lemon has referred to as Racism2020. It is one of the biggest #BlackLivesMatters movements we have seen in our lifetimes, in my lifetime, when we should dislike people based on their behavior not on the color of their skin. Right as COVID and shelter-in-place was beginning, Taylor's life was about to end when a search warrant went wrong. 

YouTube Okay, 2020, you've left your mark- now, please leave everyone alone! This is what every Fred Willard fan must be thinking today as news of his passing began to make headlines. The actor passed away yesterday, according to his daughter, Hope Mulbarger. She shared with CNN he died "at the fantastic age of 86 years old. He kept moving, working and making us happy until the very end. We loved him so very much! We will miss him forever." Ironically, Willard's 'Modern Family' character was killed off in this year's series finale. The Emmy nominee is best known for his roles in 'Best In Show,' 'Roseanne,' 'This Is Spinal Tap,' 'The Bold and the Beautiful' and 'The Loud House.' Willard is predeceased by his wife, Mary (2018) and survived by daughter, Hope and grandson, Freddie. We send so much love and good thoughts to all who knew and loved him! He was a true gem.

  photo courtesy of cnn.com If you are a CNN fan, you might have noticed Anderson Cooper has been noticeably absent most of this week. Instead, Erin Burnett has been filling in during his hour. So, where has the 52-year-old wildly popular anchor been? Tonight, we got answers and it was not what anyone expected. Cooper revealed he welcomed his first child, a baby boy, via surrogate, on Monday. He named his son Wyatt (for his father) Morgan (which he discovered was on the short list of possible names for him as well as a family name on his mother's side). Both of his parents have passed; his father died when he was 10 and his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt , passed away last summer. He also lost a brother to suicide but has a lot of close friends, including Andy Cohen . Cohen also welcomed a son last year via surrogate and reposted a photo of Anderson and Wyatt on Instagram as he and son, Ben are very eager to meet their new friend once this pandemic allows. We are so very happy f...

photo courtesy of en.wikipedia.org We try not to be too political here at Three Ice Cubes , unless it is something super important and extremely necessary. This is supposed to be an ICYMI and all-around informative site but we try to stay unbiased when it comes to political affiliations, even if we occasionally fail. This time, we may fail. What is going on in the world is an abomination and the fact that our President is coming out, almost condoning the behavior of white supremacists and neo-Nazis is absolutely unconscionable. He held a press conference where most of his information was completely uninformed and he proved that he has no clue as to what is really going on outside of his Twitter bubble. What he thinks he knows versus what we really know are complete opposites and CNN's Don Lemon was appalled at the state of the world today and more importantly, the man whom is in power.   President Trump ...

photo courtesy of pinterest.com Word out of the UK tonight is that there were nineteen casualties at an Ariana Grande concert, with around fifty injured. As with any mass explosion or situation that causes mass casualties, it is being investigated as a possible terrorist attack and in today's society, that is completely normal which is extremely sad. A concert goer called into CNN tonight and spoke of how she saw twenty to thirty bodies on the ground outside. Both Grande and her opening act are said to be fine but our thoughts and prayers are with those who perished and the families of those who are a part of this trauma including all of the concert goers who had to be subject to this. We hope to find resolution ASAP.
