Seems Broadway-loving, Hamilton-supporting musical fans are NOT fans of Vice President-elect Mike Pence -- in fact, the audience damn near ran the politician out of the theater!
At Friday's show, the audience mostly booed the VP-elect as he walked to his seat, surrounded by secret service. Then, during the show's famous line, "immigrants, we get the job done," there were roaring cheers from the audience.
Then, at the show's conclusion, as Pence was walking out of the theater, Hamilton cast member Brandon Victor Dixon — who’s currently playing Aaron Burr — called out to him and pulled out a piece of paper and delivered the following remarks, as the cast linked arms behind him:
"Vice-president elect Pence, we welcome you and we truly thank you for joining us at Hamilton: An American Musical. We really do. We, sir, are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents — or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights, sir. But we truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and work on behalf of all of us. All of us. We truly thank you for sharing this show — this wonderful American story told by a diverse group of men, women of different colors, creeds, and orientations."
Pence left the building. Seriously?! If he gives up that easily, it's gonna be tough road these next four years ...

Dunzo! Latin singing sensation (and J Lo's ex) Marc Anthony, has split from his wife Shannon De Lima after two years of marriage. "It just was not working and they didn't have enough in common," a source tells Us Weekly.
Anthony, 48, and De Lima, a 28-year-old Venezuelan model, married in the Dominican Republic in November 2014. They started dating in 2012, just months after Anthony separated from then-wife Jennifer Lopez, with whom he has 8-year-old twins.
In face, Lopez recently planted a smooch on her ex-hubby's lips after performing with him at the Latin Grammys in Las Vegas on Thursday. After singing their hit, "Olvidame y Pega la Vuelta," the crowd starting chanting "Beso!," so Lopez leaned into her baby daddy and kissed him. Just before, she honored her ex with a sweet tribute, as she awarded him the Person of the Year award: "Marc is a living legend. He is a magical and pure artist giving away classics that will stay forever. He will always be many things in my life."

Tyga is getting some bling for his bday!
On Thursday, the rapper, who appeared to be carrying a Goyard man purse, hit up a Calabasas jeweler, Polacheck's, with some pals two days ahead of his 27th birthday. We know the "Rack City" performer is broke -- so we have a feeling that Kylie Jenner is paying for the tab on his birthday bling.
After the shopping excursion, the soon-to-be 27-year-old went home and was greeted by Kylie and his son King Cairo with a surprise birthday party, complete with sexy cupcakes. If you look closely you will see the cupcakes have King's photo on them, a photo of Kylie and Tyga, as well as reality star's boobs and ass. Classy!
Despite the graphic baked good, the videos of King surprising his dad are actually pretty damn cute -- and the whole crew seems really excited to wish the rapper a birthday. So that's sweet too.
What's not so cute is that in one of the Snap videos, Tyga laps up some of the frosting on the butt cupcake and says, “Gotta make it more real, gotta flatten it a little bit." Wow! Way to diss Kylie's curves. We guess if you're used to Blac Chyna's juicy booty -- Kylie's butt seems small, but that's still super harsh!

People are pissed!
Bella Hadid is the star of the new Nike campaign, and fans are outraged not only by the fact she's not an actual athlete, but also because she's so damn skinny! The model is clearly proud of the gig, as she posed for a photo below her New York billboard and posted it on Instagram.
"Nike? She's not an athlete but more importantly it's giving young girls unrealistic expectations yet again. Why not use @theashleygraham come on now @NIKE have some sense," one user wrote. "Yeh this is why young girls get eating disorders, when being abnormally thin is glorified. Well done," another user sniped.
Olympic figure skater Meryl Davis dared to publicly criticize the Victoria's Secret stunner and pal Kylie Jenner for their gigs with athletic wear companies, and Yolanda Hadid was quick to come to her daughter's defense. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star noted that her 20-year-old almost went to the Olympics for equestrian before being diagnosed with Lyme disease.
We can see both sides of the argument, but there are bigger problems going on in this world people should be focusing on!

Days after his divorce from Mariah Carey was finalized, Nick Cannon confirmed he was expecting a baby with ex girlfriend Brittany Bell.
The funny man stopped by Power 105.1's Breakfast Club on Thursday and at first he was a bit cagey about the news, but eventually he dished about how he's going to be a dad for the third time.
The host Angela Yee asked, "Don't you have a baby on the way or something?"
Cannon teased, "I got a song with K.Michele called 'Baby on the Way.'"
Eventually the America's Got Talen host did admit to prepping for another bundle of love.
"I got a baby on the way… absolutely. God said be fruitful and multiply. I'm doing the Lord's work out there" bragged Cannon.
The actress has also been posting some Instagrams during the pregnancy -- although there are none with her ex. We wonder how much he will be in this baby's life?!

These just keep getting sexier and sexier!
Britney Spears dropped the video for her new song "Slumber Party" featuring Tinashe today, and the singer basically just parades around in lingerie and barely there outfits the whole time. You can't say she doesn't have a formula for success! This is the second single off her album Glory, following her hit "Make Me."
"Let's fill up this clawfoot bath with bubbles / Loving me so hard it's causing trouble/ If it's seven minutes in heaven make it double, triple, oh / Like a slumber party," one verse goes.
She's done it again, folks! All hail Queen Brit Brit!

Oooooh, James Packer isn't gonna like this!
In a new clip from her reality show Mariah's World, Mariah Carey seems to have an admirer, back-up dancer back-up dancer Bryan Tanaka, whom you may remember as the pretty young thing she's been spotted hanging out with ever since her nasty split with Packer.
Could the businessman have seen the writing on the wall and pulled the plug before (or maybe after?!) his lady love got frisky with the dancer? It all looks a bit suspicious if you ask us!
We gotta say -- it's pretty weird to see the songstress planning for a wedding that we know isn't ever going to happen!
Watch the doomed diva when Mariah's World premieres on E! on December 4 at 9 pm!

We can't even believe this ... Kanye is a bigger idiot than we thought!
Dumbass was on stage in San Jose, Calif. for his Saint Pablo show and decided to pontificate on the recent U.S. election. He told the crowd he decided to do something "politically correct" -- yes, he said "correct" -- by admitting to them that he didn't vote. Idiot move #1, not voting -- then, to make matters worse, he tells fans he would have voted for Trump!
The crowd booed and Kanye tells them he thinks Hillary Clinton still has a place in Trump's administration ... uh, what?! Has this dude read a newspaper or watched TV in the past three months?
Perhaps Kanye's a global warming denier, too -- he hopped a private jet to go to his concert date last night. At least with Trump in office, there's no danger of Yeezy losing the ability to burn through a tank of jet fuel just to get one person to NoCal. Gag. #Opportunist #JayZsGonnaBePissed
Poll
Is Kanye West justified in telling fans he would have voted for Trump?
Yes! Let him have his own opinion and he's not a bad guy for not voting.
Hell no! That dumbass is as un-American as it comes, saying he didn't vote and then saying he would have voted Trump!
