Takeoff’s Eyes On Tuesday, James Corden gave the world something we didn’t know we need when he invited Migos to do carpool karaoke with him. It was near perfect. Corden not only got one of the world’s biggest rap groups to rap their own songs, but he had the three spitters sing along to Whitney Houston and even Neil Diamond.  Though Migos’ interpretation of pop songs was quite hysterical, the biggest highlight of the trip was Takeoff’s ever-telling eyes. Migos is known for keeping their eyes covered with shades or glasses, but this time Takeoff let the pupils free and they said everything that needed to be said without using words.   In some instances, his eyes gave off “annoying creep energy” (0:31 mark), while in other instances, they conveyed “WTF” auras (11:12 mark). It was a beautiful thing to watch and already the Internet took hold of his eyes to convey their deepest feelings.

Kate Upton Gives Birth to First Child!

The woman who many consider to be the world’s most perfect looking human just gave birth to an absolute perfect baby. Indeed, congratulations are in order for Kate Upton: The supermodel just gave birth to her very first child! The 26-year old shared the blessed news on Saturday evening, alerting Instagram followers to the name and the gender of her and husband Justin Verlander’s precious offspring. We’ll let Upton take it from here… “Genevieve Upton Verlander. 11.7.18,” Kate simply wrote, confirming that the newborn came into official existence this past Wednesday. She included with this message a gorgeous black-and-white snapshot of little Genevieve… … and here it is! Well done, Kate and Justin. Verlander, who works as one of the best starting pitchers in all of Major League Baseball, posted a photo of the couple holding their little one’s hand. He wrote as a caption: “Welcome to the world Genevieve Upton Verlander. You stole my [heart] the first second I met you!!! 11.7.2018.” Verlander also penned a sweet message to Upton after the couple confirmed her pregnancy in July . “You’re going to be the most amazing Mom!! I can’t wait to start this new journey with you!” he gushed on Instagram at the time, adding: “You’re the most thoughtful, loving, caring, and strong woman I’ve ever met! I’m so proud that our little one is going to be raised in this world by a woman like you! I love you so much.” Upton and Verlander got married the knot in Tuscany, Italy, in November of 2017, mere days after the pitcher and the Houston Astros won the 2017 World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. During the baseball season that recently concluded, Verlander credited Upton for turning both his career and his life around. Speaking to Bleacher Report about his outlook after going through multiple injuries, Verlander said the following a few months ago: “Who knows if I’m even here if it wasn’t for her? “I really thought it was the end. … She was instrumental in me not … like, jumping off a bridge.” Wow, huh? And now she’s also been also rather instrumental in Verlander becoming a dad. We send these two our very best wishes.

So Sad: Texas Mother & Her Boyfriend Charged With Beating & Sexually Assaulting 2-Year Old Daughter Before Murdering Her

(Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images) Texas Mother And Her Boyfriend Arrested For Murdering 2-Year Old Daughter Tiaundra Christon, 21, confessed to murdering her 2-year-old daughter Hazana Anderson and allegedly keeping the child’s body in her car for three days, According to KCentTV , Christon and her boyfriend, Kenny D’Shawn Hewett are both charged with tampering with physical evidence with the intent to impair a human corpse.   Multiple agencies found the body near State Highway 146 in Texas City earlier this week. The 2-year-old had been missing for nearly a week. Christon was arrested and charged with child endangerment for allegedly leaving the child alone near a pond and giving a false report to police. She also told detectives she and Hewett were at a hotel in Houston from Oct. 17th through Oct. 20 during which the child was murdered. KCentTV reports that both parents allegedly beat the child who was crying loudly and the two got carried away. Christon said the child was going in and out of consciousness, so she and Hewett put her in the bath tub to attempt to revive her, according to reports. Christon stated that as she was removing the child from the tub, she said she noticed signs of sexual assault on the child. She then says the child died later that night. Christon told police the child was cold to the touch, so she and Hewett tried to use a hair dryer to warm her up, and while doing so, the hair dryer began burning the child’s skin. She also said she kept the body in the backseat of her car for three days, inside a plastic trash bag, reports KCentTV . On Oct. 23, Christon said she and Hewett wrapped the bag with the body inside with rope, and tied a heavy rock to it. They then tossed the body into a body of water near Moses Bayou and Texas 146 in Galveston County.

SMFH: Florida Man Gropes Woman’s Groin On A Flight, Explains That “Trump Said It’s OK To Grab Women By Their Private Parts”

Scott Olson/Getty Images) Man Gropes Woman On Plane, Since Trump Says It’s Okay To Do So Don’t let your president get you effed up out here! One Florida man learned this lesson the hard way aboard a Southwest flight from Houston to Albuquerque. 49-year-old Bruce Michael Alexander was arrested and charged with abusive sexual contact after reaching forward and grabbing the breast of a sleeping woman seated on the row in front of him. According to a criminal complaint acquired by BuzzfeedNews , the woman says she felt a hand come from behind her and brush the right side of her breast about 15 to 20 minutes after she fell asleep in her seat. She assumed it was a simple mistake…until about 30 minutes later when she felt Alexander’s fingers move from the back of her arm to above her elbow, finally groping her around her ribs and breast. She described the hand as having “thick, hairy fingers and dirty fingernails.” Needless to say, cops were waiting on Alexander when the flight touched down. Authorities say that he began copping presidential pleas, claiming that President Trump himself had said “it’s OK to grab women by their private parts.” Of course, his recently hired lawyer is trying to claim that the police simply heard wrong…but we’re guessing that if this man is reckless enough to put his hands on strangers’ genitalia, he’s wild enough to say something like that to police once he gets picked up.

A High School Football Team Takes A Knee To Take A Stand

Topics of inequality and police brutality have been forced to the forefront of American dialogue. Because this is the digital age, everything is online and we’re seeing horrible acts of racism and violence every day. Years ago you would have heard of some of these stories, but you wouldn’t have seen the murder of innocent people who look like you before your own eyes. Now take that trauma that you experience from seeing images of police brutality and racism on repeat, and imagine dealing with that on top of the stress of being a teenager. The football team at an all Black private school in Prince George’s County, Md., has decided to follow in Colin Kaepernick’s footsteps and take a knee during the National Anthem. The team first broached the idea of taking a knee with new coach, Cornell Wade, in late August, according to  NBC News . The first game of the season was a few days away. Josiah Gill, 17, spoke for the team when he said they understood. “We’re taking a knee because of inequality as a whole,” Gill said, according to the NBC News article. “We’re aware of what’s going on in this country as young black males.” “A lot of people love football,” Gill added. “You have them coming from places to see you do something, and why not take a knee, why not do this to show we see what’s going on in the world?” Like many American teenagers, Gill and his teammates have followed the debate over NFL players who kneel to call attention to racial injustice and police bias. As the league and team owners work to figure out how to penalize those players who protest, a handful of high schools around the country have confronted the issue as well. In some places where student-athletes knelt they were punished, or even kicked off of the team. Outside of Houston, two Black football players at a private Christian school who protested during the national anthem were kicked off the team by their white coach. When members of a mostly Black high school football team in Louisiana knelt before a game against a mostly white school, they were met with jeers and racial slurs. And in New Jersey , two referees at a high school football game walked off the field after players knelt, later saying they didn’t like “anyone disrespecting our country, our flag, the armed forces,” according to  NBC News . Some schools have banned the protest, but at Capital Christian Academy, Gill and other players are still kneeling.

Beard Or No Beard: Do You Prefer These Famous Men With Or Without A Beard?

See the original post here:

Source: Scott Halleran / Getty Just as makeup does for some women — beards have the ability to transform men into totally different people. Most women feel that the thicker and more groomed the facial hair, the more attractive and manly you are. However, there are some who feel that a clean face is the way to go.  At the end of the day, facial hair is a subjective thing, but are men with beards more desirable?   According to the New York Times : Barnaby Dixson, a human behavioral ecologist at the University of Queensland and a co-author of the beard length study, research has also found that facial hair is associated with some antisocial traits, such as aggression and social dominance. While these traits might not be pleasant if you’re looking for a fun fling, they might be alluring if you want an alpha male to support your family and fend off predators. It’s not just women who prefer bearded alpha males — men also prefer men with facial hair. Dr. Dixson and colleagues asked 1,577 men and women from Brazil and the Czech Republic about facial hair. Compared to heterosexual women, gay men had stronger preferences for men with more facial hair. Usually, we honor the beard-toters during No Shave November. But today is National No Beard Day, and guys often celebrate by shaving their beloved beard and starting from scratch.That made us think of some of our favorite beards in Hollywood and if we prefer the men with or without the facial hair? Hit the flip and you be the judge! Share your thoughts with us on Twitter and Facebook. via GIPHY

Christian Carino: Yes, He Really is Lady Gaga’s Fiance!

Lady Gaga continues to receive rave reviews for her role in A Star is Born. But the singer took a moment on Monday and acknowledged the special role someone else is playing in her life right now.] That is, she confirmed that she's engaged to Christian Carino. This is not a shocking piece of news to anyone who reads The Hollywood Gossip. We wrote about Gaga's plans to marry Carino back in November of 2017. However, the artist is famously private and had not said a word about this relationship until she spoke this week at Elle‘s 25th Annual Women in Hollywood Celebration at Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles. The topic of Gaga's speech was a very serious one. She opened up to the crowd about having been sexually assaulted in the past, saying on stage: “What does it really mean to be a woman in Hollywood? We are not just objects to entertain the world. We are not simply images to bring smiles or grimaces to people's faces. “We are not members of a giant beauty pageant meant to be pit against one another for the pleasure of the public. We women in Hollywood, we are voices.” Gaga added: “As a woman who lives with chronic pain, as a woman who was conditioned at a very young age to listen to what men told me to do, I decided today I wanted to take the power back. “Today I wear the pants.” Amen, right? While this message is vitally important, it's almost being overshadowed in the celebrity gossip world by the fact that Gaga also referenced talent agent Christian Carino as her “fiance” at one point. The two started dating in February of last year and, as far as we know, got engaged about nine months later. Carino was on hand to support Gaga ahead of her Super Bowl LI halftime performance in Houston in 2017, where the couple was photographed cuddling on the field. But they have mostly kept a very low profile throughout their romance. Check out the video here to listen to Gaga both name check her future husband AND say some inspiring words about victimhood.

SICKO MODE: Travis Scott’s Album ‘Astroworld’ Officially Reaches Platinum Status

Photo by Mark Horton/Getty Images Travis Scott’s Number One Album Astroworld Is Certified Platinum Though Travis Scott has always had an insanely loyal fanbase of his own, his career has really taken off in a way nobody expected this year–and from the look of things, it’s only up from here. La Flame’s album  Astroworld  has reached yet another milestone: The third studio LP from the Houston native has officially been certified platinum. A huge achievement to reach platinum at any speed, it took Astroworld less than three months to move 1 million units. The project, which features some guest verses from artists including Drake, Frank Ocean, Pharrell, and The Weeknd, was released on August 3. The album quickly reached gold, earning the certification only one week later on August 10. Astroworld’s commendable platinum status was obtained on September 21, a little over a month following its release. This achievement means Travis is now three for three–Both of his previous studio albums,  Rodeo  and  Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight , earned platinum plaques as well (but not nearly as fast). Travis Scott has come so far since the  early  days of his career, which was made even more evident when Mike Dean put up an Instagram post last week that showing the rapper’s progression over the last five years. The new father recently made his  Saturday Night Live  debut performing “Sicko Mode,” “Skeletons” and “Astrothunder,” also appearing in a skit while he was on the show. Not only did La Flame perform on SNL , but said performance was good enough to impress vet Questlove who tweeted, “Been going to #SNL for 9 years now. Seeing that fog/ice lazer reflection jawn in person for @trvisXX was hands down one of the best stage design presentations I’ve ever seen—-and I seen a lot.” As of next moves for the star, Travis appears on the new Kodak Black single “Zeze” along with Offset. He is also featured on the new Juicy J banger “Neighbor.” Congrats to La Flame on his endless wins right now.
