According to PageSix , ticket sales are “in the toilet” and the tour is in danger of being canceled by its promoter Live Nation. “Nicki’s tour could be the most disappointing ticket sales of the year for any artist,” a Live Nation source said. “These are big arenas with up to 20,000 capacities. Sales for opening night in Baltimore is 2,000 tickets. L.A. is 3,400, New Orleans 1,000, Denver 1,300, Chicago 3,900. Even her hometown Brooklyn is only 5,050.” READ MORE
Drake ‘s new album, Scorpion , is doing well and he’s on tour with the Migos. So it seems the 6 God felt it was only right to hurl shots at Kanye West, while performing in Chicago. Hitting Chi-Town for the “ Aubrey and the Three Amigos Tour ” on Saturday night (August 18), Drake decided to switch up the words on “Know Yourself.” Instead of rapping “Then Kanye dropped, it was polos and backpacks,” he flipped it to “Then Kanye flopped, it was polos and backpacks.” Nah, the crowd didn’t decide to turn on Drake for slandering their hometown product. Cold world. To be fair, you may have missed it unless you’re a devoted fan and familiar with the If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late song. Still, the audacity. Drake switch the lines in “Know Yourself” and said KANYE FLOPPED. Still no sign of him responding to @PUSHA_T pic.twitter.com/9Wm60NBb11 — Surgical summer (@sakh_oct) August 18, 2018 — Photo: WENN composite

It’s a sad day for the Internet’s most delusional pervs. We’ve known for quite some time that Ariel Winter is dating Levi Meaden , but no doubt many of the Modern Family actress’ 3.2 million Instagram followers were hoping it wouldn’t work out. Well, we have bad news for basement dwellers were hoping for a chance to get up close and personal with social media’s most famous boobs . It seems Ariel and Levi have taken their relationship to the next level and are now living together. Ariel revealed the arrangement during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night: “I bought my own house last year, which is really exciting for me,” the actress told Kimmel. “My boyfriend and I live together, and he cooks. I can’t cook at all. He takes care of all that handy stuff and he’s great. I can bake a pie occasionally.” We doubt the revelation that Ariel doesn’t know her way around the kitchen did much to dampen the enthusiasm of her most ardent fans. While the response online has been mostly congratulatory, some fans (particularly those who are creepily protective of the actress) seem concerned by the fact that Ariel and Levi have only been dating for seven months. Adding to the complexity of the situation is the fact that Ariel is only 19, while Levi will turn 30 this year. Ten years isn’t a massive age gap, but it’s a lot for someone as young as Ariel. But sometimes the spotlight forces young people to grow up more quickly. Winter told Kimmel last night that her Modern Family cast mates have been treating her as a “semi-adult” for a while now: “They definitely treat me like an adult now,” Winter said. “We started on the show when we were 10 or 11 years old and running around with Nerf Guns and now we’re all semi-adults.” We imagine you must cringe a little when you’re creeping up on the big 3-0 and your girlfriend cops to not being a full-fledged adult. But hey, by all accounts, Ariel has a good head on her shoulders. For every Kylie and Tyga situation, there must be a situation where this sort of thing works out, right?

Former NFL wide receiver Michael D. Jackson has passed away at the age of 48. Jackson divided his eight seasons in the pros between the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens, and he led the league in receiving yards in 1996. After retiring from football, Jackson successfully ran for mayor of his hometown of Tangipahoa, Louisiana. Sadly, it was while he was riding his motorcycle through the streets of his beloved hometown that Jackson’s life was tragically cut short early Friday morning. Police say Jackson was riding his 2013 Kawasaki at a “high rate of speed” when he collided with a car that was backing out of a driveway. The impact of the crash was so powerful that Jackson’s motorcycle smashed through the passenger’s side door of the car and killed the driver, a 20-year-old woman. A full investigation into the accident is being conducted. Tributes to Jackson from fans, friends, and former teammates have been pouring in on social media since the moment that news of his death went public. But while he’s most famous for his career on the playing field, those who knew Jackson best say it’s his commitment to public service that they’ll remember most. In 2008, Jackson entered the political arena and served for four years as the mayor of his native Tangipahoa. “Right now, I want to set a standard,” Jackson told the press upon being elected. “I want to have that standard high enough so that whomever decides to run for this position they will feel obligated to do at least what I have done and far better — so that’s what I want to do.” He added: “I want to set a concrete floor, so we can erect a house here in my hometown.” Though his career was cut short by injury, Jackson put up impressive numbers in several seasons and played alongside some of the legends of the game. He was a teammate of Brett Favre’s during his time at Southern Mississippi University, and he played for Bill Belichick when the future Patriots legend was head coach of the Cleveland Browns. “Michael Jackson was more than a great player, he was a great man,” the Cleveland Browns tweeted. “Our thoughts are with his family and friends. Rest in peace.” View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2017: In Memoriam
