Khloe Kardashian Destroys Troll Who Claims Kim Isn’t Chicago’s Real Mom

Apparently, some so-called fans are still confused over what Chicago West being born via surrogacy really means. When Kim Kardashian posted an innocuous photo, some very confused troll claims that Kim and Chicago aren’t actually related at all. It fell to Khloe to set the fool straight, and she did not mince words. Take a look: Kim Kardashian shared this throwback of her as an adorable young girl. “Always gorgeous just like both of your baby girls!!!!” Khloe gushed in the comments. “Blessed!!!” (Apparently, Saint can just choke, or Khloe is weirdly fixated on gendering her compliments) Kim’s family weren’t the only ones to take notice. Her fans raved over the throwback pic, and some of them observed how much young Kim looks like her youngest daughter. But a comment that attracted a lot of attention came from none other than Kylie Jenner. “Omg Chicago,” Kylie wrote sweetly. One followers — and it’s unclear if they’re confused, a troll, or a conspiracy theorist — didn’t care for that comparison. Instead, they tried to “correct” Kylie over seeing a similarity between mother and daughter. The commenter wrote that Chicago “would either look MORE like Kanye or the surrogate mother.” That is, of course, not accurate. As we all know, Kim had a gestational carrier — often colloquially referred to as a surrogate. Kim’s egg and Kanye’s sperm were used to create the zygote that eventually became Chicago. The “surrogate” contribute a womb, not chromosomes. Khloe took it upon herself to educate this misguided soul. “If you don’t really know about someone’s situation,” Khloe suggests. “Then maybe you shouldn’t comment.” That’s good advice for most circumstances. “Try informing yourself first before you make such silly statements doll,” Khloe writes. Khloe uses some terms of endearment in otherwise hostile messages and … she really missed her calling as a southerner. She continues: “Your passive wanna be petty comment is simply uneducated.” “Chicago is completely Kimberly’s biological child,” Khloe affirms. We all knew that, but allegedly this commenter did not, even though it was explaineda  bajillion times in 2017. “Praise the lord she was able to have a surrogate,” Khloe exclaims. Not every family has the means to do so. “And,” Khloe concludes. “That we are blessed with sweet gorgeous Chi Chi.” The fan — or troll — seemed to still not get it. “I never said the baby wasn’t beautiful [face with tears of joy emoji],” the commenter replied. “SHE DEFINITELY IS,” “But,” the commenter insisted. “She did have a surrogate.” “So,” the commenter doubled down. “The baby would either look MORE like Kanye or the surrogate mother.” “That’s all love,” the commenter signed off. That is just … still wrong. The womb doesn’t magically imbue genetic characteristics upon a baby. “I am not saying you said that love,” Khloe replies. Khloe continues: “I am saying you must be more informed before speaking on something that you don’t know anything about apparently.” “Chicago is Kimberly’s DNA,” Khloe oh-so-patiently explains. “Her and her husband made embryos,” Khloe spells out. “And then they were blessed enough to have a surrogate carry their child for them.” If you heat up chili with cheese in a microwave, it doesn’t come out microwave flavor. The gestational carrier is the microwave in this analogy, folks. Kim and Kanye are the chili and cheese. Khloe notes that this was important “since Kimberly is unable to.” “God bless modern medicine,” Khloe concludes. The lesson here is to not assume you know more than someone’s own family, and to only be a know-it-all if you actually know anything.

Gwen Stefani: I’m Too Traumatized to Marry Blake Shelton …

Gwen Stefani is on a mission to spread Christmas cheer … and to try to force her fans to like Blake Shelton. In a new interview, the singer isaddressing rumors of  secret Gwen and Blake weddings  that so many fans have heard. She says that one of the factors influencing their choices is trauma from past relationships. Gwen Stefani is happy to announce that, despite rumors, there is “zero pressure” in their relationship. The interviewer refers to Ellen DeGeneres joking that Blake had confirmed to her that he and Gwen are engaged. In that interview, Gwen of course told Ellen and her audience: “No he — no, we're not!” Now, Gwen explains that “there is zero pressure.” “I think that when there's trauma the way that we had trauma back in the day,” Gwen says. She refers to her contentious split from Gavin Rossdale and Blake's even harder split from Miranda Lambert. “Like,” Gwen continues. “Going through all these hard times to get to a place where you find somebody that’s your best friend.” “That you know that you can depend on and trust and just go through life,” Gwen adds. She's been through a lot of emotional upheaval to get to where she is. She's in no hurry, she explains, to change things up. “I think that we'll just try and be in the moment as much as we can,” Gwen says. As to whether Blake is her forever man, she says: “I hope so! I hope so.” Gwen admits that there were times when she couldn't imagine the happiness and stability that she currently has in her life. “I never thought I would get this moment,” Gwen confesses. “So it’s just really special,” she explains. After all of the rumors of secret engagements and multiple secret weddings, it's good for fans to hear an explanation. Some expected that she and Blake would remarry right away. It is great to see her taking her time. Gwen also spoke further about their relationship as she discussed filming a music video with Blake. Apparently, despite being a music star in his own way within the Country Music community, Blake hates filming music videos. Some musicians feel awkward or inauthentic filming them, even though they can help push songs and become works of art. The fact that Blake was part of Gwen's video is very sweet and shows how willing he is to indulge her. That said, a sizable portion of Gwen's fans have seen more than enough of Blake for their liking. Seeing him in a music video is not what they want. But he's part of Gwen's life. They will need to accept that. Gwen's interview made reference to her interview with Ellen. A source close to Blake told HollywoodLife   that Blake was very amused by it. ” Blake  thought Gwen’s interview with Ellen [DeGeneres] was absolutely adorable,” the insider shared. “She looked gorgeous and was so smart and funny,” the source noted. The insider revealed: “He’s watched the video at least ten times now, and it still makes him smile.” That is, admittedly, very cute.

Daryle Singletary Dies; Country Singer Was 46

Daryle Singletary, a country musician responsible for many popular hits in the 1990s, was found dead on Monday morning at his home near Nashville. He was 46 years old. According to the singer’s publicist, Singletary’s passing was unexpected and sudden. “The cause of death is pending,” his rep told ABC News in a statement, adding: “The family asks for your thoughts and prayers during this time.” Singletary is probably best known to this day for his impressive run of of top-five country tracks in the mid-1990s, including such singles as: “I Let Her Lie” “Too Much Fun” “Amen Kind of Love.” His greatest successes may have taken place years ago, but Singletary remained a frequent performer up until his death. He even took to the stage just this past Friday in Alabama, and did not show any signs of illness or any health difficulties at the time. In response to this unexpected death, many singers and groups from within the country music world took to social media in order to pay their respects. “Heartbroken,” LOCASH shared on Instagram, along with a photo of Singletary, adding online: “Sad Day … We lost our Brother … One of the Greatest Voices in Country Music, A true Legend but an even better Friend, Huntin’ Buddy, Husband, Father & Man. Prayin’ for him and his family.” Craig Campell, meanwhile, posted the following image and wrote the following words: “Sad day…the greatest country voice of my time is now singing in Heaven’s band. Gonna miss you @Darylesing ! Now show them how a good ol country shuffle is supposed to sound!” There was also this from country legend Travis Tritt: “I’m shocked and saddened to hear that Daryle Singletary has passed away. “He was a true country voice and his talent will be sorely missed. Praying for Daryle’s friends and family.” SiriusXm’s The Highway even got in on the mournful act, Tweeting: “This is SiriusXM Music News with breaking news. It has been confirmed to us that Daryle Singletary has died at the age of 46. More information coming soon.” Singletary is survived by his wife Holly, their two sons and their two daughters. As of this posting, funeral arrangements were pending. May Daryle Singletary rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam

Country Music Yakubian Releases Song Titled, “Take A Knee, My A**” And Twitter Tee-Hees Right In His Tractor-Lovin’ Top

WENN.com Country Music Singer Releases Song Against Taking A Knee, Gets Roasted Country music singer Neal McCoy is fed up with people wanting equal rights, and decided to take a stand against kneeling. Yes, you heard it here first: A man named Neal is super upset at people wanting to kneel….poor guy. The song takes a jab at former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and others who protested the national anthem by taking a knee, in the single he debuted last week. The song is confusingly titled, “Take a Knee, My Ass (I Won’t Take a Knee),” and though it’s unsurprising that a country music star would take a break from singing about his tractor to sing about being racist, the name of the song is what’s got everyone talking.   Ok I’ve thought about it for several hours and the correct way to put this in print is “Take A Knee? My Ass!” https://t.co/9H2F55dhg9 — Fiorello La Garbagecan (@StuntBirdArmy) November 18, 2017 The title, “Take A Knee, My Ass” is obviously a terrible name considering the “I Won’t Take A Knee” clarification he felt it necessary to put right afterwards in parentheses.  Beside this song being a terrible idea, it’s mostly just hilarious since the title makes absolutely no sense. Take a look at some of the tweets people sent about how dumb “Take A Knee, My Ass” is, and let’s all laugh together.

Don Williams Dies; Country Music Legend Was 78

Sad news out of Nashville today, as multiple outlets are reporting that country music icon Don Williams has passed away at the age of 78.  Best known for such hit songs as “Tulsa Time,” “Good Ole Boys Like Me,” and “It Must Be Love,” Williams’ tall stature and soothing, baritone voice earned him the nickname “the Gentle Giant.” Williams’ death was confirmed today by a statement from his publicist, who revealed that the singer passed away at home following “a short illness.” After beginning his career with the folk-pop outlet the Pozo-Seco Singers in early ’60s, Williams went solo in 1972. He charted his first hit with “The Shelter of Your Eyes” the following year. From there, Williams quickly developed a reputation as one of the country world’s most talented vocalists. He remained a favorite among country music purists for decades, scoring number one hits as recently as the ’90s, and amassing huge followings in such unlikely corners of the world as Kenya and New Zealand. Following the news of his death, thousands of fans, friends, and fellow musicians took to social media to pay tribute to Williams. The diversity of artists who cite him as a major influence is a testament to Williams’ universal appeal and unmatched songwriting prowess. Earlier this year, a collection of artists including Dierks Bentley, Brandy Clark, Lady Antebellum, and Jason Isbell recorded covers of their favorite Williams’ tunes for the tribute album Gentle Giants: The Songs of Don Williams . “In giving voice to songs like ‘Good Ole Boys Like Me,’ ‘Lord, I Hope This Day Is Good,’ and ‘Amanda,’ Don Williams offered calm, beauty, and a sense of wistful peace that is in short supply these days,” said Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum CEO Kyle Young in a statement released moments ago. “His music will forever be a balm in troublesome times. Everyone who makes country music with grace, intelligence, and ageless intent will do so while standing on the shoulders of this gentle giant.” In March of 2016, Williams announced that he would be retiring from touring and recording after more than fifty years in the music industry. “It’s time to hang my hat up and enjoy some quiet time at home,” Williams said in his final interview. “I’m so thankful for my fans, my friends and my family for their everlasting love and support,” Williams is survived by his wife, Joy, and their two sons. Our thoughts go out to the Williams family during this difficult time. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2017: In Memoriam
