Source: John Lamparski / Getty Danish pop group Lukas Graham is facing some backlash after the band decided to cover XXXTentacion ‘s song “Sad!” The late rapper was facing several legal charges at the time of his death and admitted to a lot of the violence he’d been accused of, according to tapes posted by Pitchfork back in October. XXXTentacion was charged with aggravated battery of a pregnant victim , domestic battery by strangulation, false imprisonment, and witness tampering—but Lukas Forchhammer, frontman of the aforementioned pop group, says he wasn’t aware. Now that he is, he’s having the Spotify session removed , according to Billboard . “Our cover of SAD will be taken down ASAP,” he wrote on Instagram, according to the site. “I had no knowledge of his violent history. I’m very sorry for the pain I’ve caused. Again, I’m very sorry.” Billboard states that Warner Bros. Records had no additional comment regarding the song’s removal. Thoughts? Photo: Getty
Celebrity Big Brother is in full swing, and with two people out of the house, it was time for the houseguests to work on their list of targets. Ryan was blindsided by Jonathan’s eviction, and he vowed to go after Tamar, Lolo, and Natalie because the vote confirmed they were no longer working with him. There was one lone vote to evict Kandi, and everyone wondered who was the one to try and get the Real Housewife out of the house. Naturally, everyone thought Tamar was to blame, and she was not impressed. “Jonathan was in Mean Girls, Lindsay Lohan was in Mean Girls, that was like, uh, 2000 years ago, they’ve been friends forever,” she says. “Of course she’s gonna keep him in the house.” Ryan quickly started to worry about his future in the house and realized that his only hope of safety was for Joey to win HOH. Yeah, Joey is the same person Ryan nominated for eviction just a few days ago, but what else is he supposed to do at this stage? Tamar followed up her previous rant about Dina being the lone vote for Kandi by saying: “She’s 52 years old; that girl don’t know nothing.” Okay then. We then moved on to the next HOH competition which was an endurance one. Ryan watched on the sidelines as he worried about his future. It came down to Kato and Natalie, with the former offering the former WWE worker safety, so she dropped down because she felt there was no point in winning a competition this early into the game. Ryan turned to Kato with a deal of his own: Allow him to pick off the other players, and carry him to the end. But Kato recognized that Ryan was doing it out of desperation. Tamar then complained at Natalie for making a deal without consulting her alliance, but Natalie felt she could be better in next week’s competition. Elsewhere, Dina continued to drag Kato for lying to her face about the votes, and Lolo did not seem to enthused to be seen talking to her. Lolo took the news to Tamar, and the pair started bickering once again. Oh yes, these women hate each other. Tamar then complained that she was ready to leave the game and set out to throw everyone under the bus. In the end, Dina and Tamar were on the block for eviction. What are your thoughts on all the latest scheming? Hit the comments below. Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight at 8/7c on CBS. View Slideshow: Big Brother: Meet the Most Controversial Houseguests
The Game is not playing around. In a new track he debuted at a listening party last Thursday night, the rapper certainly hinted at a sexual past with … Kylie Jenner?!? The artist, of course, made headlines for this same single over the weekend when it came out that a few lyrics in the same make explicit references to his history with Kylie’s half-sister, Kim Kardashian. And we mean EXPLICIT references. “I held Kim Kardashian by the throat, n-gga,” The Game states in this song, according to a recording from the aforementioned party. He also hilariously/disgustingly/actually says: “I made her swallow my kids until she choked , n-gga.” The Game is saying here that Kim orally pleasured him until he ejaculated in her mouth and she swallowed his semen; just in case you weren’t certain why this line has been creating so much chatter online. The man has a way with words that may get him murdered by Kanye West , doesn’t he? As for what The Game also rapped about Kylie in this same single? “Her sister made a billion in makeup/I used to make her frosted flakes when she wakes up,” he can be heard saying in a video posted by DJ Akademiks. That certainly sounds a lot more innocent on the surface. But is The Game not basically saying here that he also slept with Jenner? What’s the alternative interpretation, that he served as Kylie’s nanny for a period of time? In 2016, The Game did rap about f-cking three Kardashian sisters . He later made it sound as if he meant Kim, Khloe and Blac Chyna, who was pregnant and engaged to Rob at that time. Considering Kylie is 21 years old… and that The Game was bringing up previous sexual conquests about three years ago… there’s nearly no chance she would have been of legal age back when the musician is claiming to have bedded her. So The Game may want to be a bit careful here. It’s funny (to us) for him to bring up Kim and Kylie in this manner. But it’s actually a serious and illegal matter if he really did have sex with, like, a 14-year old Kylie Jenner. The thing is, Kylie alleged in September of last year that she had only just tried cereal with milk for the first time . Granted, The Game does not specify in his song that he poured milk on to Jenner’s Frosted Flakes — but that seems to be the implication when he claims that he would “make” it for her. Was Kylie trying to get out ahead of this Game rumor back when she made this odd admission? Did she know it would be coming and she therefore opened up about her history with cereal in order to plant a seed of doubt in folks, knowing The Game would eventually bring up this exact topic? We don’t know. But we’re pretty excited to see what The Game has to say next about Kourtney Kardashian. View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Net Worth: Is She Officially the World’s Youngest Billionaire?!
Rob Kardashian is about to get a fat paycheck. But only if he stops being so gosh darn fat. Hey, this is not our assessment of the often-maligned reality star. We’re just paraphrasing his mother. Indeed, sources tell Radar Online that Rob is set to return to Keeping Up with the Kardashians after effectively not appearing at all on the prior two seasons of this E! reality show. But there’s a unique catch to the arrangement. Simply put: “Kris is bribing her son with millions of dollars to lose weight,” a source close to the 63-year-old matriarch tells the aforementioned celebrity gossip site. It’s been well-documented in the past that Rob has struggled to maintain a healthy weight — and also that his family members have grown embarrassed by his ballooning figure. Rob himself has also been embarrassed, which partly explains his absence from the series of late. “[Jenner] told [Rob] that she will give him a half a million dollar increase for every ten pounds he loses,” Radar claims , explaining of this unique situation: “He has been working out non-stop and she is so proud of him because she really wants him to come back strong.” Rob’s weight loss journey will provide Keeping Up with the Kardashians with a fresh storyline, of course, as will the shocking fact that someone out there apparently wants to sleep with him. It’s true! He’s reportedly been getting hot and heavy with VH1 personality Alexis Skyy . We have no idea what she sees in him, either, we know. But Rob’s mom is psyched that her son is happy; and, again, that the show may have a new storyline on which to focus. “Kris is thrilled that Rob is getting back out there and dating again. All she wants is for Rob to happy,” Radar writes, ignoring the fact that all Kris really wants is for her kids to make her money. The insider does acknowledge this aspect of Jenner, adding: “Needless to say, Kris would love it if the two of them are together when he starts filming because that would mean she could use their romance for ratings.” We don’t yet know when Keeping Up with the Kardashians will retuen for another season. But you better believe Kim’s plans to add a fourth child will be featured prominently on upcoming episodes, along with the rumor that Khloe wants to get pregnant again… by Tristan Thompson . We know, right? SIGH . Rob, meanwhile, is involved in a legal battle with Blac Chyna. In court documents that have been made public, Kardashian wants his estranged baby mama pay him over $17,000 after he claimed she did “significant damage” to his property after “violently attacking” him while the exes were living at with Kylie Jenner in 2017. There’s no end in sight to their back-and-forth. View Slideshow: Keeping Up with the Kardashians: 14 Shocking Secrets Revealed!
Source: Paul Marotta / Getty Colin Kaepernick Never Talked To Travis Scott About The Super Bowl Oh, things are getting MESSY messy… Earlier this week, what can only be described as an attempted Kris Jenner clean up hit the internet, with sources claiming that Travis Scott is only doing the Super Bowl halftime show because he got the green light from Colin Kaepernick before hand. Fans in support of Kaep and boycotting the NFL were surprised to hear that he would approve of such a thing, but it seemed to ease the criticism the Houston rapper has been getting since announcing his decision to perform. That is…until news broke from people close to Colin that he actually never approved of Travis’ performance in the first place. Hot 97 and Apple Music’s E Bro was the first to let the public know this information was all wrong as he retweeted the initial exclusive report from Variety, which claimed Travis Scott consulted with Colin before confirming his performance. E Bro claims that Kaep “did not approved this bulls**t!” Kap did not approve this bullshit! Get the fuck outta here…. https://t.co/yyMVAXQB3k — El Viejo Ebro (@oldmanebro) January 16, 2019 Not only did Colin’s girlfriend Nessa retweeted E Bro’s sentiment, adding that the people “need to stop lying” about the situation–but Kaepernick also retweeted the sentiment along with others to his own Twitter page. FACTS @EBRO !!! THEY NEED TO STOP LYING. https://t.co/vhNpxLtHtE — NESSA (@nessnitty) January 16, 2019 Nessa kept on going with her disapproval of the aforementioned article, adding, “there is NO mutual respect and there is NO understanding for anyone working against [Kaepernick] PERIOD.” There is NO mutual respect and there is NO understanding for anyone working against @Kaepernick7 PERIOD. #stoplying https://t.co/0HB6kcWJRG — NESSA (@nessnitty) January 16, 2019 Though the initial report states that a conversation between Kaepernick and Scott took place, the details of that actual conversation aren’t so clear–but it did imply Colin was somewhat understanding of Travis’ performance because the NFL agreed to donate $500,000 to the social justice organization Dream Corps. So there you have it. Colin Kaepernick definitely isn’t going to be singing along to “SICKOMODE” during the halftime show this year.
Danny Roberts, a former cast member on the The Real World: New Orleans, has revealed something very sad and very personal iin a new interview with Entertainment Weekly. He is HIV positive. “The reason I want to share this story is that I spent so long battling and beating myself up for my own misconceptions and bigotry,” the 41-year-old said this week, adding: “It is difficult to admit the negative feelings you had about a set of people and state of being based on made-up stories.” Roberts appeared on the aforementioned MTV reality series in 2000. At that time, he was dating a military officer named Paul Dill, whose face was obscured by the network so he wouldn’t be discharged under the controversial “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. It was unusual for a prominent television show to depict such a relationship during that area. Back then, Roberts famously spoke out against the since-repealed policy, which forced LGBT servicepeople to hide or lie about their sexual orientation. Roberts shunned the spotlight for a number of years after making a name for himself on The Real World. However, he recently moved to New York City, where he works as a digital design recruiter and is a dad to an adopted 2 1/2-year-old daughter. He discovered his disease in 2011 after passing out and then waking up in a pool of blood. Worried, he called his physician and explained what had transpired. The doctor replied with the diagnosis (from a previous week’s check-up that he had been waiting to reveal to Roberts until they met again in person) that would change his life forever. “My first reaction was shock. Then I was angry, then lots of denial,” Roberts tells EW , elaborating: “Those early years were very difficult and very lonely. You don’t know whom to turn to have conversation and people don’t know what to say. It’s not something that people have experience with. “There’s also the potential likelihood of massive judgments about what behaviors led to this and what kind of people this happens to.” At this point, there is good news, though: Roberts says that he has been “undetectable” since being diagnosed, which means that he has a low level of the virus in his blood. This also means it cannot be sexually transmitted to another person. Danny adds that he’s remained close with Real World co-star Kelley Limp, who is pictured with Roberts and company below. “She’s my life sister,” he told EW. “She was one of the first people I turned to and talked to. She has been strong and helped me through this.” In conclusion, meanwhile, Roberts does not want you feeling sorry for him. He wants to emphasize that he isn’t dying due to HIV; he is living with the illness. “The last thing I ever want is pity. I just want people to know and be aware. I knew so little myself so I get it,” he says. We wish Danny Roberts the best.
Briana DeJesus has a message for Javi Marroquin on the occasion of her ex-boyfriend becoming a father for the second time. But it isn’t exactly congratulatory. A day after Javi and Lauren Comeau welcomed a baby boy into the world, DeJesus took to Twitter and strongly accused Marroquin of cheating on her. Sort of a strange reaction, given the blessed development for the former Teen Mom 2 cast member? Yes, but Briana thinks she has new proof that Javi stepped out on her with Comeau earlier this year. You see, Javi and Lauren dated for a couple months in the summer of 2017. After they split, Marroquin started getting down and dirty with DeJesus, a relatively new star on the aforementioned MTV hit. And then not long after they split, Javi returned to Comeau’s bed. But DeJesus now says on Twitter that the relationships overlapped. To wit: Fans will likely remember that Briana traveled down to Miami for some plastic surgery on the date she cites above. Her and Javi were very much on the outs at the time, but he showed up in Florida to support her, making it seem as if he wanted things to work out between the D-Listers. So now we can do some math: Comeau gave birth on November 15. She was due on December 1, however, which is 10 months after Javi and Briana were in Miami together, attempting to work things out. According to DeJesus, this means Javi and Lauren were clearly back in touch, if not already having sex again, considering how soon she got knocked up after this Florida trip. And according to DeJesus, this is evidence that Marroquin’s feelings for her were totally fake, as you can see by her follow-up Tweet before: Again, there does seem to be a bit of time in between Marroquin and DeJesus’ break-up here. Moreover, the status of Javi and Briana during the infamous Florida vacation remains unknown. Were they really, truly, 100% together? We may never know, but Javi, at worst, wasted VERY little time in moving on from DeJesus. But this doesn’t exactly come as a surprise to anyone who has followed the rocky journey of Briana, Javi and even Kailyn Lowry. We’re pretty sure Marroquin was doing all THREE women at one point . Lowry, though, did send an actual note of “Congrats” to Comeau and Marroquin after their unnamed son was born this week. Those two, who share a son of their own, are on solid enough terms these days. “It’s been amazing,” Marroquin told Radar Online about becoming a dad once again, adding: “I even shed some tears. For those that don’t know, I’m not an emotional person anymore at all and just seeing my son come out really had me in my feelings.” That’s great to hear. Still, will rumors of Javi being disloyal to Comeau ever go away? We continue to send the couple our best wishes — but other people continue to have questions… View Slideshow: Javi Marroquin: Cheating on Lauren Comeau With Madison Channing Walls?!

If you have to visit Florida for some reason, St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park should be on your list of sights to see. But you should visit during normal visiting hours. And you definitely shouldn't jump into the crocodile pit like Florida Man did. That's right, folks. Florida Man is at it again. On Tuesday morning, discarded clothes and a floating Croc shoe were found floating in the St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park crocodile pit. As you can imagine, employees of the St. Augustine alligator farm were alarmed and confused. The pit is home to three 12-foot Nile crocodiles. Hopes that the clothes were put there as an ill-conceived prank were soon dashed. They found blood. Employees looked at security video, which showed a man break into the farm and jump off of a roof into the crocodile exhibit. When employees called the police in concern, police had just received another strange call. Officers had responded to an incident involving a man wearing only his underwear. People had seen a strange man crawling “in a concealed manner” while wearing almost nothing and had very correctly called the police. Not only did surveillance footage confirm that this was the man who had broken into the alligator farm, but it was pretty obvious. The man's legs and feets had sustained serious injuries, believed to have been caused by crocodiles. It seems likely that the man's bites, from a crocodile species native to Africa rather than from alligators, would have linked him to the break-in even without the video. This particular Florida Man was identified as Brandon Keith Hatfield. The story that he told to police was nothing short of outlandish. Hatfield claimed that he had been attacked by an alligator. He didn't say that it was a wild alligator, but instead claimed that he had encountered an old man who was walking an alligator on a leash. Hatfield claimed that he was suddenly “surrounded by all these baby alligators.” That bizarre tale would never have explained his injuries under scrutiny. On top of the evidence that he leapt into the crocodile exhibit, it looks like Hatfield is accused of causing property damage. He allegedly “damaged numerous exhibits and statues around the complex causing an excess of $5,000 in damage.” Jay Ruditis, head of security for alligator farm, verbally narrated the security footage. “Watch behind him, there’s a croc trying to attack him,” Jay says. “Now it’s dragging him,” he narrates. “He will get on the shore. It’s got his foot right now.” “It has a good hold on his leg. It’s kind of pulling him in,” he continues. “The croc will flip him, a little death roll in a moment.” Death rolls are how crocodiles disorient, exhaust, and drown their prey. They also use the maneuver to tear off meat from large corpses. “The croc still has him, so what he does is tries to kick it with his foot,” Jay concludes. Apparently, Hatfield ended up on the lawn of a neighboring property. “A little weird to see somebody that early in just boxers,” a neighbor remakred. “Going over your wall into your property saying ‘I was held hostage in a pool with gators” “He says, ‘Yeah, I got bit by alligators.’” the neighbor shares. “Everybody’s looking at him like, ‘OK, he’s got to be on something,'” Police have acknowledged that “he was possibly high on something” Hatfield has been charged with Burglary, Criminal Mischief, and Violation of Probation We can't claim to be shocked to our cores that this guy was on probation. We're glad that he survived, but a little surprised that any Florida Man would apparently mistake crocodiles for alligators. Alligators are opportunistic predators that will absolutely eat a human if given the chance. But in general, Floridians see them as a nuisance more than anything else. Like, “oh, one got in the pool again.” Nile crocodiles are one of the largest and most dangerous predators on the face of the planet. These things eat lions. If we had to guess, we would say that Hatfield only escaped because these captive crocs are well fed and had little motivation. We're glad that the crocodiles are okay. They, we should remember, are the true innocents in this story.
A few months ago, Ariana Grande fell hard for Pete Davidson. Then, this week on Ellen, Ariana Grande nearly fell hard while singing about Pete Davidson. The beloved pop star took to the aforementioned talk show host's stage on Wednesday morning in order to sing, for the first time in front of actual people, the new tune “Thank U, Next.” This single has received plenty of attention of late because it was written about multiple ex-boyfriend of Grande's, including Davidson, to whom she was engaged for most of the summer. It was also released just a short time before Davidson commented on the couple's break-up during a segment on Weekend Update just a few days ago. Decked out in all white while belting out the anthem alongside friends Tayla Parx and Victoria Monet, Grande may have been taking a slight jab at Davidson by making it look like she was at a wedding. Then, she stepped up on a chair, sang a bit more, stepped down… stumbled and nearly crashed to the floor. “Oh my God!” you can hear Ariana say in the video featured here, even though she did recover and went on to complete the performance. Later on, the rendition grew especially emotional for Grande during a verse about her parents. “One day I’ll walk down the aisle. Holding hands with my mama,” Ariana sang, through tears. “I’ll be thanking my dad. ‘Cause she grew from the drama.” Grande, of course, has been through a ton over the past couple years. She was on stage in Manchester when a bomb exploded in the arena and killed over 20 fans. Her serious ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller, then recently died of a drug overdose . Grande was engaged to Davidson at the time of this tragic death, only for that relationship to conclude and for the exes to end up on terrible terms . Just as she does in the footage here, however, Grande continues to push through. Check out her debut performance of “Thank U, Next” right now!
