Source: SOPA Images / Getty While T.I. continues to get dragged for his controversial parenting practice when it comes to his 18-year-old daughter , Irv Gotti sort of came to his defense during an interview with TMZ in which he revealed he too is guilty of going overboard when it came to vetting his daughter’s love life (not as bad as Tip, though). Opening up to TMZ’ s Harvey Levin and Charles Latibeaudiere about how he keeps it 1000 with his kids when it comes to the birds and the bees, Irv Gotti said he bluntly told his daughter that “Sex feels good” but added “just make sure it’s respectful.” On the other hand, Gotti went mob style when it came time to have a sitdown with her boyfriend and revealed he might’ve OD’d a bit when they had their man-to-man talk about daddy’s little girl. “It was funny because I pulled a gun out on him… But I was only joking!” Gotti said while cracking up. “But I have a great relationship with her boyfriend. She’s been with her boyfriend for like 8 years. I really like the guy.” Well, you can’t be surprised if the dude is scared to even take a break from the relationship if he knows Daddy Warbucks Gotti got the toast in the stash. While we doubt Irv will ignite the same outrage that T.I. did when he revealed he takes his daughter to the gynecologist to make sure she’s still a virgin, we’re kinda sure 50 Cent will eventually throw in his two cents on the matter. Peep the interview below and let us know if you think Irv overdid it.

Why would you want to try Trina of all people?! Da Baddest has always been a woman who doesn’t bother anybody unless she’s provoked and sure enough, some woman at a Wal-Mart decided to say two words in unison that you shouldn’t ever say to Trina or anybody for that matter. The woman, according to Trina called the Miami rapper a “n***** b*tch.” Yes, with the hard er at the end. According to TMZ , the incident occurred at a Cooper City, Florida Walmart when the woman and Trina bumped into one another in the aisle. Trina didn’t file a police report on the woman and due to “safety measures”, she was reportedly escorted out of the Walmart and to her car. The woman didn’t speak to officers. “Say it again!” Trina says in the video. “Say it the motherf**k again! Say it again! Say it again! Say it the f**k again, you dirty ass b*tch! Say it the motherf**k again. I am a n****r. I am a n****r bitch. Say it again! Say it again. I dare you to say it. I dare you to motherf**kin’ say it.” At current time, Trina has not addressed the incident but WHEW. Would you have handled this the same way?

Welp. This is one way to make folks believe you’re totally and completely over Khloe Kardashian: Lamar Odom has proposed to girlfriend Sabrina Parr! And she has said yes, you guys! On Monday, Odom announced his unexpected engagement via a romantic Instagram photo of the soon-to-be married couple posing together inside Prime 112 Restaurant in Miami. “Introducing my new fiancée!! Soon to be Mrs. Parr-Odom,” Odom captioned the post adding very simply and sweetly: “She the ONE!!!!! @getuptoparr.” As you can see above, Parr is wearing her engagement ring in the picture, while Odom is wearing a surprisingly sullen expression, considering the occasion. For her part, Parr also shared a video on social media, coming across as rather excited about the entire development. “I SAID YES!!!!!!” she captioned this post on Instagram on Monday, showing off her ring in a video and two photos as they dined at this same restaurant. Parr added the hashtags #mrsparrodom and #lamarandsabrina. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Nene Leakes commented on the post, writing as a remark: “SO GLAD I COULD BE HERE WIT YOU! LOVE BOTH OF YOU AND PRAYING OVER THIS UNION.” Odom, of course, is a former professional basketball player who battled substance abuse problems throughout nearly his whole career. In celebrity gossip circles, he’s best known for having been married to Khloe Kardashian for four years, prior to a divorce mostly based on his infidelity and those same substance abuse problems. He nearly died from an overdose while partying with hookers in Nevada back in 2015. Odom made his relationship with Parr Instagram official in August, sharing a photo of his lady love sitting in his lap. “It’s just like when you’ve got some coffee that’s too black, which means it’s too strong, what do you do? You integrate it with cream… But if you pour too much cream in it, you won’t even know you ever had coffee,’” he wrote at the time, adding: “‘It used to be hot, it becomes cool. “It used to be strong, it becomes weak. It used to wake you up, now it puts you to sleep.’ – MALCOLM X @getuptoparr #blackroyalty.” That same month, Odom and Parr spoke out about their romance during an interview on Dish Nation. “I wasn’t attracted to the pain and the drama,” the health and life coach explained, continuing as follows: “You have to meet people where they are. “He was never in a position to be someone’s husband, you know? He was sick, he needed to heal, he needed to grieve. He experienced a lot of losses. And he never had time to go through that.” Just a few weeks ago, in the wake of constant questions about Khloe, Odom insisted he really did love Parr . “Outside of my daughter, this is the most serious and committed relationship I’ve ever been in with a woman,” he said toward the end of October. And now he’s proven it. Congrats to the happy couple!
Disney Plus launched in the wee hours of Tuesday morning! There were plenty of good reaosns to sign up for the streaming service. In my case, they had me at “new Clone Wars episodes.” Those aren't out yet, of course. What is out is The Mandalorian , whose first episode went live at launch. To say that the first episode was “good” does not do it justice. Check out our review (and carefully crafted gifs) below and see if Disney's live-action Star Wars series sounds like a hit or miss. We promise that we've only included minor spoilers. 1. It’s a Space Western Usually, that would be a critique, but Star Wars has always had strong Western vibes, though that has never been exclusive. Environments like the cantina at Mos Eisley Spaceport on Tattooine are basically saloons, and in his first scene, the titular Mandalorian might as well have pushed through a pair of saloon doors. 2. It FEELS like Star Wars We’ll talk about this more once we get into the gifs, but this show really feels like it’s part of the broader Star Wars canon in a way that the Sequel films, for many fans, have not. The vibe here is definitely more Rorgue One, and that’s exactly how it should be. 3. Aliens are back! Anyone else notice how there are almost no new Alien roles in the Sequel films? (Holdo should have been a Theelin; fight me, Rian Johnson) Well that last slide showed a Quarren, a classic Star Wars species who share a homeworld, Mon Cala, with Admiral Akbar’s species. And then there’s this dude, an Alien with an extended speaking role. 4. Yes, there are monsters A huge part of Star Wars has been the existence of terrestrial perils unrelated to evil generals or Sith Lords or whatever the heck a Ren is. From “Sand People” to wampas to giant worms that live in asteroids, sometimes planets just have monsters on them. The Mandalorian knows this and we wouldn’t have it any other way. 5. It’s a BEAUTIFUL show This particular beast looks like a blend of a walrus and a hippopotamus, and we learn that it’s attracted to the spaceport area because ships dump their gray cargo — that is, their organic waste — which attracts a whole food chain of critters. Also, it just looks great. Shows need good budgets to be viable, and we’re glad that this show delivers. 6. The Mandalorian isn’t all action The titular character has some serious childhood traumas — including an apparent aversion to droids, but one that is not absolute. He also has tremendous respect for Mandalorian culture and traditions, many of which were nearly lost when the Empire (at first, the Republic) invaded Mandalore to oppose Maul’s faction of Death Watch. It was many years before his people were free again. View Slideshow

Page Six is reporting that the Harlem native has been booked to perform at the Ericsson Globe venue in Stockholm. He will return to Sweden after receiving “tremendous support from the Swedish fans”. The move has come as a complete surprise to the Hip-Hop community as he once vowed never to return. Considering his harrowing experience we don’t really blame him for his original stance.

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Chicago rapper Lil Reese , born Tavares Taylor, was shot in the neck Monday (Nov. 11) afternoon. After being rushed to the hospital, he is in critical condition. Reese was reportedly shot in the neck while in his car about 40 or so minutes outside of Chicago in Illinois. Per WGNTV , the incident occurred at a busy intersection in Markham and Country Club Hills at 167 th Street and Pulaski Road. Cops responded at about 2:30pm. Reese has been listed as in critical condition at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn. According to witnesses, Reese was being pursued by another driver during a car chase. Reportedly up to a dozen gunshots were heard during the chase. According to witnesses, the driver in pursuit got out of his car and shot Reese with what appeared to be a small rifle before fleeing. According to the police, blood was spotted on the driver’s side of a car. However, someone had transported Reese to a hospital in Hazel Crest, where he was stabilized before being transferred to Advocate Christ. Police are still trying to locate the car—a Chevy Malibu with Wisconsin license plate. Prayers up to Lil Reese. — Photo: Getty
Last week, the world learned the real, sinister reason Sean Spicer is still on Dancing With The Stars despite his abysmal dancing. Fans and judges alike are frustrated that the season has been effectively rigged when other, talented dancers have gone home. But one extremely talented dancer, former Bachelorette Hannah Brown, is actually defending the polarizing politician. Hannah Brown spoke to Us Weekly about her weakest competitor, Sean Spicer. “I think everybody works really hard,” Hannah characterizes. Oh, she’s being very diplomatic. She accurately describes: “and the fans vote for who they want to be in the competition.” Sticking to facts, Hannah adds: “and that is how this is going to go.” “We all just have to continue to work hard and do our best,” Hannah expresses. “And,” she adds. “I don’t think Sean is any different than that.” “I think he is working hard and doing his best as well,” Hannah politely says. We’re sure that he’s doing his best. it’s just that his best, you know, sucks. Fans and viewers have been left scratching their heads for weeks now. How in the world did Sean Spicer manage to stay afloat for so many episodes? Things came to a head on November 4, when one of the season’s most promising dancers, Kate Flannery, was eliminated. It was enough for Carrie Ann Inaba to say: “I’m absolutely confused and in fact a little irritated.” “It’s frustrating,” Inaba expressed. She continued: “There are really great dancers being sent home, but that is part of our show.” “It’s always been the audience and the judges’ perspective,” Inaba acknowledged. She admitted: “I can’t be so mad at it, but it’s frustrating” “I would like to beg the public to remember that this is a dance competition,” Inaba expressed. “Of course, vote with your heart,” she added. Inaba then suggested: “But also take a moment to consider everybody else in the competition.” She concluded: “And are you voting for the right person?” Fellow judge Bruno Tonioli had similar feelings. “They have to vote [and] make the vote based on actual achievement,” he said. “Know what people are giving to you within the competition,” Tonioli suggested. “‘Oh, he’s so nice, he’s just such a nice person.’ Well, yeah, I agree,” he said. “But come on.” Len Goodman chimed in and spoke about Sean Spicer directly. “He’s very popular with a certain element of the viewers, not the real dance fans,” Goodman correctly stated. He added: “You haven’t got to be a weatherman to see which way the wind blows.” “He should have gone three weeks ago before Sailor [Brinkley-Cook] went!” Goodman acknowledged. “But it is what it is.” He concluded: “The judges say this and the viewers say that and then it all comes out as it is.” Is Sean Spicer a good dancer? No. But is he a good person who deserves his time in the carefree spotlight of a dancing competition? Also no. Sean Spicer is a bad person who used his career to help a criminal administration harm the strength and reputation of the United States of America. He should never have been given this opportunity. ABC created this situation for publicity and now they’re reaping the resulting disaster. View Slideshow: Dancing With the Stars: Who Will Win Season 28?

Since then she has stayed in the spotlight appearing on Time Squares billboards, soap operas, and even won Playmate of the Year. Type ‘Eugena Washington 2016’ into Google and you’ll find them: Crisp images of a Brown skinned beauty beaming beside one of the most controversial figures in American history, flanked by others of her striking a sexy pose beside a cream convertible quickly fill up the white space. With shining skin and radiant, raven hued hair, she is confident, she is beautiful, she is Playmate of the Year. She is also deeply unhappy. “ The thing about modeling is that it’s completely superficial,” she told Hello Beautifu l in an exclusive Interview. “It’s the only job the only career that’s completely superficial based on what you look like. Based on what you look like, they can tell you yes or no. With that being said you can be the most perfect, the most amazing, you can be at your very best and then you’ll get ‘Nos’ all around just because.” Source: Photo by Phillip Faraone/WireImage / Photo by Phillip Faraone/WireImage She admitted that the constant rejection and the “toxic” culture upheld by less than ethical people impacted her greatly. “When I first started modeling I told myself that I would only do this until it made me feel bad about myself, like I didn’t want to do it if it was going to be something that was going to lower my self-esteem, lower my self-worth, and make me feel bad about myself you know, and ultimately start making you hate yourself. As I went on modeling it slowly started to do that.” The only solution to feeling like the industry was in control of her self-worth was proving to herself that she was strong enough to walk away from it. Source: Photo by Charley Gallay/Getty Images for Playboy “I took about a year off in 2017 to really just reconnect with myself and silence all the noise. I really had to stop and take some time off and recover myself and decide to decide that I’m great regardless. Like that’s the choice that you have to make. So for me now, it’s about knowing who I am, getting in touch with who I am, and deciding that I am amazing regardless of what anybody thinks.” Modeling afforded Washington many opportunities including the chance to travel to Barcelona and Cape Town, which she described as “the most majestic place I have ever been to in my life,” but she wasn’t prepared to make her entire life about the profession. Washington opted to return to the modeling industry but on terms that satisfied her ambitions beyond the runway. View this post on Instagram It’s finally Spring….Relax and allow yourself to bloom @kevingoolsby A post shared by EUGENA (@eugenawashington) on May 25, 2019 at 12:20pm PDT “ I definitely want to get married and have a family . For a long time I felt that I couldn’t do that because you’ll gain weight and it will be hard to match your measurements.” Nevertheless, the industry is changing. Model Chanel Iman has had a child and a successful career while Slick Woods literally went into labor while backstage at the Fenty x Savage show in 2019 . Models as moms are becoming more of a norm and less of a phenomenon or sign of a career ending. “When I realized that I have control of my life and I can decide what I want and everything will fall into place anyway, I gave myself permission to have those dreams and goals outside of my profession,” Washington shared. The joy in her voice is evident as she speaks about the possibilities of living without restriction. “ I just want to have fun! I want to have a fun life outside of business all the time and working and obligations.” View this post on Instagram @danessa_myricks is legendary and you’re blessed if she touches your face. ThankYou LoveYou A post shared by EUGENA (@eugenawashington) on Oct 10, 2018 at 7:50am PDT She chose to work with people that fit her career and personal goals instead of contorting herself into the industry mold. “I chose them because they work with me, they believe in me and that they push me and that’s what it takes to be successful somebody who believes in you and pushes you and wants to work with you. Like all the names and hype and stuff, you could be sitting IMG’s board and not doing shit because they don’t believe in you.” She was selective when she opted to step back in front of the camera. “I’ve been modeling ever since the show, I’ve been through so many agencies girl it’s just about who works for you and who works with you. Each agency looks for something different and if we’re honest we’re just dealing with people,” she added. “I had to work that out too and it took me a while to learn that because I thought it was about the name, if I get with this name and that name then I’ll…but no! People can shelve you. I’ve been shelved but I’ve also been pushed.” View this post on Instagram Mmmmhmmm… Mua: @jordanliberty Photo: @juliakuzmenko A post shared by EUGENA (@eugenawashington) on Jul 14, 2018 at 11:28am PDT She is careful about the kind of people that she allows in her space duly protective of the peace that accompanies her evolved perspective at work and at play. “I learned I had a lot of toxic people around me and I didn’t know how. I was just like trying to heal and save everybody and trying to be nice.” Being socialized to be the “nice girl” had consequences when she found it difficult to speak up for herself or even be honest with herself. She said she had to learn to say “I don’t like this” or “This doesn’t make me feel good”. It was tough for her “saying how I feel and being okay with saying how I feel and being okay with my anger and being okay with someone not liking me and using my power and my strength.” View this post on Instagram I think it's gone be shoulders all summer @louieaguila @iamkevinwade @queenwink A post shared by EUGENA (@eugenawashington) on May 26, 2018 at 12:34pm PDT “My mom was always like ‘Just be a nice person,’ I was just trying to be a nice person, I thought that’s all you had to do. So I didn’t really have my guard up.” That guard stands tall now, “I had to stop being nice. That’s the journey I’m on right now, developing my inner bitch because people will be like ‘Oh you’re so pretty, I can just disrespect you and treat you like you ain’t shit and treat you like you’re dumb and you’re just a pretty model.’ And I would just internalize like ‘You know what? This person is hurting so let me just internalize that.’ No. I don’t have to take anything! How dare you talk to me crazy ’cause you’re a nobody. No one’s above me and I had to realize that. I had to take control of my life I had to boss up and find my inner bitch.” Evidence that her belief in herself stands strong can be found in her willingness to come out of her comfort zone. She has started developing a haircare line and a podcast . “That was a way for me to establish myself in a different way where I wasn’t just basically relying on how I look because that also gets old. You know? There other parts of me! I have other talents and there other ambitions.” Today, she is proud to say, “I get my self worth from other places.” View this post on Instagram Everything you've ever wanted is yours.

She said she plans to, “ Empty my best self out to the world.” “It helps me heal by helping other people heal because when I’m talking to you about what I’ve learned I’m also getting more downloads and answers.” She wants to offer support, “ Because I didn’t have it,” and says she relates to the conversations on social media about the perils of being “the strong friend.” “It was hard because I’ve been through a lot of shit. You know when you just go through one thing after another? I had to take my way through and not be taken over. I was in an abusive relationship. I had an abortion when I was in my early twenties. So in those situations I didn’t have the guidance to help me navigate through those situations I had to just use my common sense and consider how to move forward in the best way possible. I was kind of overwhelmed so I had to take some time off and kind of heal some things in myself. And in that time of healing it was like I’ve figured out these things I’ve rectified them for myself and I’m not ashamed of them so I might as well talk about them.” View this post on Instagram October, you so pretty…. A post shared by EUGENA (@eugenawashington) on Oct 1, 2019 at 8:57am PDT She isn’t afraid of some of the backlash that public figures have gotten for being raw about their feelings and emotions. “I’ve always felt like if people are watching me you might as well give them a show and if you give them a show then that means you’re in charge of the narrative, and I’m not a shy person either. I feel like if you tell somebody your business they can’t come back and throw it in your face because you already told them what it was so that’s kind of what it is for me.” After years of using her looks she is excited about what will happen when she opens her mouth. “Instead of hiding away from the things that I’ve been through and learned from and overcame I stood out in front of them because its my story regardless.” DON’T MISS: MODEL MONDAY: Cheyenne Maya-Carty Skated Into Her Dreams MODEL MONDAY: Nyakim Gatwech Is A Model With A Message For Black Girls MODEL MONDAY: Nicque Marina Went From The Air Force To Fashion Week By Following MadameNoire [ione_media_gallery src=”https://hellobeautiful.com” id=”3063794″ overlay=”true”]
