Source: Jeffrey Mayer / Getty Prince Estate Furious Trump Won’t Stop Using ‘Purple Rain’ At Rallies That guy in the White House keeps staring up trouble with musicians who, quite frankly, just aren’t fans of his and don’t play about their art. You would think Cheeto curmudgeon would be more focused on important things–ya know, like his impending impeachment inquiry , running the country, or trying to be a decent human being–but that would be too much to ask. According to reports from TMZ , y’alls lil President was on the road having the time of his life and turning up to Prince’s “Purple Rain” in the process. As is stands, everyone is still pretty clueless how and why this would tie into his re-election campaign theme, but here we are. This unfortunate event unfolded in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the Target theater during a Trump rally. Omg. They are playing Purple Rain at the Trump rally!! That is INSANE!! @PRNFamily @prince #NO #RESIST pic.twitter.com/b2oYmtccY4 — Sara Savoy (@SaraSavoy) October 11, 2019 The crowd looks like they’re enjoying themselves (duh, it’s Prince) but there are still several problems with this. Most importantly; we all know Prince would have never approved of this and on top of that, this isn’t the first time he’s pulled this very move. Princes’ estate has even already told Trump they don’t want him playing any of Prince’s music, at any time, ever. “President Trump played Prince’s “Purple Rain” tonight at a campaign event in Minneapolis despite confirming a year ago that the campaign would not use Prince’s music. The Prince Estate will never give permission to President Trump to use Prince’s songs.” This marks one year to the day that Prince’s estate wrote a letter to the Cheeto-in-Chief and telling him not to play his music, and yet, he did it again. At this point, it seems like some calculated shade and pettiness is afoot. Hopefully, the legend’s estate understands now that they need to take action–not just send warnings–as we know this guy doesn’t play by the rules.
Cynda Mcelvana isn’t as famous as she should be – but she’s trying.. She was born in Conway, Arkansas so we can’t talk about how immigration is great when it is with slutty girls who get naked as part of their contribution to America…so her ethnic name is just a reminder that your country is built off of immigration and sometimes the hot one is first or second generation and not imported by some lonely sad person on 90 Day Fiance…. Apparently, in 2014, at the age of 16, she relocated to Hollywood, CA, so that makes her 21, which means a solid 10 years left of her getting naked as she navigates this LA scene of balancing sugar daddies to pay for her life, going to workout classes to stay fit, going to juice and smoothie bars, or expensive LA restaurants to eat well, and doing the occassional nude shoot to have a steady stream of content for her social media. It is hard out there for these girls who don’t like to actual work and love getting naked for attention, audience and hopefully some celebrity, to really make it all pay off for them, even though thanks to the sugar daddies it’s already paying off!!

Joe Giudice is on his way to Italy. But the reality star is still holding out hope that it’s just a vacation. Scroll down to see what we mean… Judges have granted Giudice‘s request to be released from ICE custody and move to Italy, which is the country where he was born and where he may be forced to relocate on a permanent basis. But Giudice will continue to appeal his deportation order for as long as possible. “He will be OK,” said Jerard Gonzalez, one of Joe’s immigration attorneys. “I just don’t like having families taken apart like this.” Giudice had previously been denied his original request to be released to the New Jersey home he shares with wife Teresa Giudice and their four daughters: Gia, 18, Gabriella, 15, Milania, 14, and Audriana, 10. As most Real Housewives of New Jersey fans are likely aware, Joe was sentenced to 41 months in jail for his role in a bankruptcy scheme. Joe and his estranged wife admitted in 2016 to lying to the government about their income and their assets, defrauding the government in the process. A federal judge decreed awhile back that Joe, who never became a United States citizen, must be deported back to Italy because he’s an immigrant who committed a serious crime. After being released from prison, Giudice was taken into custody by immigration officials and was only just now set free — but only if he lives in Italy while his appeals case is heard. The next court date regarding Joe’s appeal is in November. Teresa, for her part, has not yet commented on Joe having to move to Italy while his legal argument goes through the system. She has said on numerous occasions that she will leave her husband regardless of the outcome ; she seems so very over this relationship. Last week, when asked how the family has come together and supported each other, she told E! News: “We just do. I mean, we’ve come a long way and I’m happy I have four beautiful daughters. “They’re strong and I’m happy to have them. I’m their rock, they’re my rock and I’m glad we have each other.” Teresa also wrote a letter to the judge several months ago, pleading to have Joe remain in America. “I cannot bear the thought of my daughters losing their father, I am fearful that it will break them and that I alone will not be able to fix them,” the 47-year-old wrote. She added at the time: “Judge Ellington, this is my greatest fear and it keeps me up at night. The fear that if I lose my husband, I will also lose my children, as they will never ever be the same.” Sounds heartfelt. But, as you can see below, it also looks like Bravo is pretty darn excited to milk this scandal for all it’s worth: View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Everything We Know About Season 10
Source: Jinna van Ringen Photography / Getty Homeless Singer In LA Gets The Help And Support Of Hundreds Of People Online California has more homeless people than any other state in the country, according to a statistic from the Los Angles Times — and if you’ve ever roamed the streets of Southern California, you’re probably not surprised to hear that. It’s hard to say what brought each and every person into a situation that led them to being homeless, but a lot of people in this situation are subjected to homelessness because of unforeseen circumstances that simply knocked them off their feet. A lot of Californians are understanding of the unfortunate situations that can so easily leave someone living on the streets, and because of this, the public is now rallying behind one musician in Los Angeles to help her get back on her feet. The LAPD sent out a tweet which features a homeless woman singing opera in a train station last week. “4 million people call LA home. 4 million stories. 4 million voices,” they wrote. “Sometimes you just have to stop and listen to one, to hear something beautiful.” So many people were moved by her rendition of Giacomo Puccini’s “O Mio Babbino Caro” that the tweet ended up going viral, which of course prompted viewers to find out her identity in an effort to help. 4 million people call LA home. 4 million stories. 4 million voices…sometimes you just have to stop and listen to one, to hear something beautiful. pic.twitter.com/VzlmA0c6jX — LAPD HQ (@LAPDHQ) September 27, 2019 The woman in the video is 52-year-old Emily Zamourka, according to reports from Yahoo News . The very talented woman reportedly moved to America from Russia 28 years ago and is a trained pianist and violinist who taught lessons to others before suffering a serious health condition. Zamourka always worked several jobs to make ends meet, but once her instruments were stolen, medical bills surrounding her condition started to pile up, and that’s what forced her into homelessness. “I am sleeping actually on the cardboard right now, in the parking lot,” she told the ABC 7 . “I am sleeping where I can sleep…I have people that feel sorry for me, but I don’t want to be a burden to anybody.” After hearing Zamourka’s heartbreaking story, a person named David Tweet organized a GoFundMe page where he collected donations for the woman. Currently, the page has amassed over $28,000 in just two days. The organizer is hoping to generate a total of $75,000 to help Zamourka return to her life and get back into making music.
Source: Pool / Getty Disgraced Singer Has Been Locked Up For More Than Two Months On Child Sex Abuse Charges He’s been locked up for more than two months, and R. Kelly has complained that his life is nothing short of hell. The “Pied Piper” revealed that he’s suffering from a host of health ailments, can’t see his two young gal pals at the same time and doesn’t have enough phone time while he remains behind bars and without bail on federal sex abuse charges. In a letter to the judge, the lawyer for the “Step In The Name Of Love” singer said his health has rapidly deteriorated since he was jailed on July 16 . Steve Greenberg said his client is now dealing with acute anxiety, numbness in his hand and untreated hernia – and isn’t getting proper medical care. Source: Chicago Tribune / Getty And to add insult to injury, Greenberg said Kelly can only visit with one of the girlfriends at once, and had to wait an entire 90 days in order to see the other. Greenberg wrote the letter to try to persuade the judge to release the disgraced singer on bail. The lawyer pointed out that Kelly is broke – so he doesn’t have the means to pay off witnesses or to skip town. He said that the feds had confiscated his passport, so there’s no way that he could leave the country, and he reiterated that Kelly didn’t have a criminal record and didn’t run away during his first child sex trial more than 10 years ago. The judge has yet to rule on the motion.

In a recent appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show , X performed the track “Panini” and revealed more about his personal life in a sitdown with the host. Keeping in lockstep with the video for the song, X appeared on the Ellen stage donned in the same robotic suit from the visuals, along with the futuristic city backdrop as seen on his EP’s cover. In their talk, DeGeneres asked X about his decision to come out with all the massive amount of fame that’s come his way due to his huge single. He also revealed that he is seeing someone but kept the identity to himself. Check out the footage below. — Photo: Getty
Source: aydinmutlu / Getty South Korean Doctor Performs Abortion On Wrong Patient Let’s be crystal clear from the gate, if we were this woman, there would be VIOLENCE ! According to CNN , a doctor in South Korea is being investigated by police after he accidentally performed an abortion on the wrong woman. On August 7, a pregnant patient with a 6-week-old fetus had gone to a clinic in district of Gangseo, in the country’s capital Seoul, according to the Gangseo police. At the clinic, a mix-up in medical charts and failure to check her identity led to the mistaken abortion. South Korean news platform YonHap reported that the victim came to the clinic to receive a nutrition shot and the nurse injected her with anesthesia without confirming her identity. The doctor then performed the abortion, also without confirming her identity. The patient had no idea what was happening until it was over. Abortion was just made legal in South Korea and all laws must be revised by December 31, 2020 according to CNN, but as of now, the procedure is illegal and is punishable by 1 year in prison. Violence. On God.
Source: John Shearer / Getty Anyone not following Jidenna’s travels through the Motherland on Instagram really needs to do so now! Our well-traveled Pan-African bae recently posted a video of himself at a market in Senegal haggling with a vendor over a hat. The 85 to Africa -rapper positioned the video as a tutorial on how to negotiate prices when you go to the market. In the video, we see him going back and forth with the vendor and bluffing as if he was going to walk away before the vendor caves and gives him the price he deems more fair. Jidenna’s travel videos come at a really good time, especially since it’s the Year Of Return, a concept that has been trending all year. And honestly, we just need for Jidenna to get a travel show already! View this post on Instagram For the hundreds of thousands of you in the Diaspora who are returning to Africa in December, this is how you don’t get ripped off as a “Yankee”. The strategy is usually the same but the style and intensity of your voice will vary from country to country (Dakar markets are more calm than Lagos markets, so I’m far less agressive here than I usually am ). A post shared by Jidenna (@jidenna) on Sep 22, 2019 at 5:34am PDT Anyway, don’t be fooled by how cool Jidenna makes it look. The market experience in the Motherland is a serious part of the culture. It’s something that you will probably want to put on your to do list, no matter what country your visit, but there are unspoken rules you should follow, and haggling is one of them. I have been to Ghana twice, as well as Togo, and the markets I experienced were sensory overload. I mean, people were selling literally some of anything and they have no qualms about getting all up in your face with the things they have to offer. However, while I did participate in haggling with vendors, I must admit, I was filled with anxiety, especially because you have to get really aggressive sometimes and I prefer to be laid back. Ideally, I just preferred that they would set one fair price and let me be great, but nope. Haggling is what they do, and if you are a Yankee aka an outsider, best believe they are going to jack up the price 5-fold in some cases. I traveled solo during my first trip to Ghana, and my driver was nice enough to accompany me to the market. I had a moment where I was so overwhelmed — because people will be trying to sell me things while I was still in the middle of another transaction — that I was going to just make the purchase at whatever the price was and my driver said absolutely not! He said that I was about to pay way too much money and that the vendor was a crook. It was a $20 Kente cloth clutch that I had talked down from $40, so I thought that was good. I was okay with paying the $20 but my driver demanded that we leave because he didn’t like the price. We got that down to $15. I had something similar happen during my second trip to Ghana. My friend’s mother, a native Ghanaian, scolded me and the vendor. She told me that the price was way too high for a shirt that I wanted, and that I should never settle because they always try to get over on foreigners. She then told the vendor, in Twi (Ghanians speak English, but prefer their native languages, and if you can speak their native tongues then you will yield better results), that she was being ridiculous. It took that moment for the vendor to relent and give me a price that was slashed by at least a quarter. Every time I went to the market after that I made sure to have a local person with me. In Togo, my group was hosted by an influential businessman from the country, and he was the only one who spoke the language (In Togo it’s French as well as various native tongues, including Ewe, and Kabiy é, among over 40 more depending on region). He made sure that we got what we needed without the smoke. So, the more connections you have, the better. That’s my advice to you if you ever find yourself in an African market! Go with a local, stand your ground, and don’t be afraid to walk away if you don’t like the price, which will probably be marked up by quadruple. Nine times out of 10, vendors won’t let you walk away without making a sale so they will meet you in the middle. Now, go forth and get your Year of Return on!

Kacey Musgraves out here looking like a bootleg Demi Moore.. Apparently she’s a country singer, which is smart tactics, because if you know anything about Country, you know that the typical country fan embraces the signer of the songs they listen to for life. They commit to them like they are family and they will continue to support them through the ups and downs…like family… It’s a great place for trashy to start off, because it guarantees a baseline audience…. If you don’t know anything about Country Music, you should be watching the Ken Burns Country Music documentary on PBS, it’s amazing. But I love old Country Music and have for a long time…and despite loving old Country music, long before the Country Music revival, I have no idea who is who in new country and thus have no idea who Kacey Musgraves is…but this is her Texan Nipple and that’s what counts.

The weather may be turning cold across various parts of the country, but it remains wedding season for at least one very famous family. First, as previously detailed, Amy Roloff announced that she is engaged to long-time boyfriend Chris Marek. We’re so very, very happy for these two. Now, Audrey and Jeremy Roloff are here to gush over each other almost like never before, as the former TLC personalities are here to celebrate their five-year wedding anniversary. “We celebrate today like it’s a national holiday every year,” Audrey wrote on Saturday to open the lengthy caption that accompanies the throwback photo above. “Because we believe anniversaries are important and worth celebrating big. Happy 5 year anniversary,” she added. Audrey and Jeremy have something else to celebrate at the moment, of course, as they’re expecting a baby boy in January. They have something to mourn, the loss of a close friend . Addressing her husband, however, Audrey focused on the positive in this post. “I love growing with you, working with you, playing with you, learning with you, dreaming with you, adventuring with you, and I love loving you,” she wrote, adding: “I’m so honored to live this life alongside you. I’m inspired by who you are and who you are becoming and so grateful that you’re my best friend. “Thank you for cherishing and challenging me and loving me so patiently, creatively, intentionally and faithfully. “I love you more and more each year Jeremy. “‘If it’s half as good as the half we’ve known, here’s hail to the rest of the road.’” Toward the end of June, both Audrey and Jeremy acknowledged some relationship challenges. We even wondered if the stars might actually get divorced . But they’ve clearly pushed through and overcome and here they are now, seemingly as strong and as happy as ever. “This post is in honor of our five year wedding anniversary. Amidst the wild seas we were able to steal away for a night to celebrate, reflect, and rest,” wrote Jeremy this weekend as a caption to the image below. “If you told me on our wedding day 5 years ago we’d do all we’ve done these last 5 years I’da laughed,” he continued. Concluded Jeremy, melting the heart of all followers in the process: But as the saying goes, people dramatically over estimate what they can do in one year and dramatically underestimate what they can do in five. And what a ride it’s been these last 5 years. I’m looking forward to the next five. “If the next half is half as good as the half we’ve known, here‘s Hail! To the rest of the road.” There’s no one else I’d rather have at the helm of life with me than you – happy 5 years Audrey. Audrey and Jeremy left Little People, Big World in the summer of 2018. They have gone on to host their own podcast and release their own relationship/love/advice memoir. We look forward to seeing what their next five years as a couple brings!
