Rudy Giuliani is trying hard to place himself front and center in the current impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump.
Last week, he had a bit of a screamy meltdown on CNN, where said the allegations that he had helped Trump pressure the Ukrainian president to dig up dirt on Joe Biden’s son were “ridiculous” right before admitting he did that exact thing and that he’s “proud of it.”
Now that Nancy Pelosi has opened a formal impeachment inquiry into Trump (including into that very thing Giuliani admitted to doing on his behalf), Giuliani appears to be in full freak-out mode. He called the now-released whistleblower complaint “total nonsense” while also making it clear that he had an exit strategy in place and it involved taking a whole bunch of people down with him.

He also gave a really weird interview to Elaina Pott at The Atlantic that read like a legit supervillain rant.

“It is impossible that the whistle-blower is a hero and I’m not. And I will be the hero! These morons—when this is over, I will be the hero,” Guiliani said.
I had this conversation while in an Uber and when I hung up the driver was like, “Uh, everything ok?”

That’s definitely a totally normal thing that not-evil people say in a very reasonable tone of voice.

Giuliani continued, saying. “I’m not acting as a lawyer. I’m acting as someone who has devoted most of his life to straightening out government. Anything I did should be praised.” Plott described him as “nearly shouting” and “sounding out of breath.”
Giuliani then went and backtracked on that whole “not acting as a lawyer” thing.
You said to the @TheAtlantic earlier today you were not acting as an attorney on this.
Which is it?

This not-a-lawyer also won’t say whether or not he has security clearance. “Doesn’t matter keep chasing irrelevant info,” he texted The Daily Beast.
Meanwhile, Trump’s allies seem to be turning on him, either because they’re really sick of him or because he’s making himself the obvious scapegoat.
According to NBC, a former senior White House official “said that Giuliani’s claim that he worked through the State Department to coordinate his talks is highly questionable.” The former official said Giuliani should have “nothing to do with any of this stuff.”
“It’s Giuliani who’s really dragged the president into something that’s a legal matter and a political matter and will be part of impeachment,” the former official said. “What Giuliani did, there’s no argument that it was a legitimate, government, law enforcement endeavor.”
Yet Trump, who is often quick to abandon even his most loyal allies when it becomes politically expedient, was notably supportive of Giuliani when asked about him during a meeting with Ukraine’s president on Wednesday. He even praised Giuliani’s recent appearances on television.
Trump will like pretty much anyone who praises and defends him–which Giuliani has been doing–even if that person is incriminating themselves at the same time–which Giuliani has also been doing.
What a hero.

Earlier this year, we learned that the sixth season will be the last for Fox’s hit tv show, “Empire.” The show has gone through several changes over the years, many of which have been outlandish. To be honest, a lot of people stopped watching a while ago. But the recent promotion of the sixth and final season has the streets talking again.
In an advanced clip, Terrence Howard, who portrays Lucious Lyon is sitting down talking to his eldest son Andre. The two are talking about the fate of the record label and how Andre will lead it. But honestly the conversation was secondary to the visuals in the scene.
Mostly the hair atop Lucious’ head.
For whatever reason, writers decided to give Lucious locs. Perhaps it represents some type of spiritual enlightenment. Whatever the goal, it served mainly as a distraction.
The final season of @EmpireFOX starts 2nite @ 9pm ET only on #FOX n @hulu

And it had people wondering why we can’t ever get locs right on television and film. See what people had to say about the makeover on the following pages.
Who had the worst Locs??? pic.twitter.com/RH9lEcayMg
