Source: Tim Mosenfelder / Getty While this generation of Hip-Hoppers may not care much for the OG’s of the game like De La Soul , it’s good to see some people still appreciate what the 90’s group brings to the table. Even if said people are from across the pond. Today London-based artist Tom Misch enlisted the talents of De La Soul for his visuals to “It Runs Through Me” where the singer recreates a 70’s styled studio while Posdunos made his appearance on the old school tube. Tube is old school slang for TV, millennials. Back in the states Eric Bellinger takes his talents to the beach where he sings his heart out about a troubled relationship in his clip to “By Now.” Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from Imasu!, DaniLeigh, and more.

Source: Jason LaVeris / Getty Tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Hollywood revolves around people realizing that Marcus and Brooke are carrier pigeons, meaning, they have loose lips. It’s also about Teairra Mari looking super crazy for still keeping in contact with Akbar after all that he (allegedly) did to her. Hold that thought, though. Tonight’s episode picks up with Marcus kicking it with A1. Of course, he tells A1 about what RoccStar said at Ray J’s Father Figure Fridays situation. You remember, right? RoccStar alleges to have slept with Lyrica. A1 says he has decided to move forward so it is what it his. In other news, A1 and Lyrica are having a gender reveal. Marcus is invited, but Brooke is not, as per Lyrica (later on, Lyrica invites Princess Love to her gender reveal but not Ray J). No messies allowed. Then, A1’s mother crashes their lunch and she’s not happy (and water is wet). Marcus senses her attitude and leaves them alone. Mama A1 is there to tell him about the reboot of the beef that she has with Lyrica’s mom and she wants A1 to get a DNA test. A1 doesn’t trip though. He’s trying to live his best life, reconciled with his wife. Then we get to Teairra Mari’s crazy situation. Basically. Nikki gathers her girls together to kick it post London and Moniece fills her in on the tension with Teairra. Teairra shows up just as Moniece is chatting about her. TT gets tight, but Moniece explains how she saw video of Teairra Akbar dropping TT off at the airport in Texas. Someone was sitting behind their car recording this entire thing. This is nuts. Teairra says she did still love him and that she went for closure only to find out that he was just trying to finesse her so that she would drop the lawsuit. Then she says this is none of their business anyway. Moniece, Nikki and La’Britney are just looking at her like… Because if you recall, TT dragged them into it and some of them were even at the press conference. Nikki confronts Solo Lucci at the studio to confront him about the rumors he has been spreading about sleeping with her. La’Britney is there to support her and RoccStar was already there kicking it with Solo Lucci. You know the supporting friends are sitting there like: Because…nosey. Anyway, Nikki immediately starts going in on him calling him a poser while Solo Lucci is firm in his stance that he did have sex with her and it’s a game of he said she said. Nikki just gets frustrated and dumps a bag of money before sashaying out. Solo Lucci and RoccStar discuss how Nikki got this info from Brooke and that Brooke feeds Marcus tea and they’re both just some gossip spreading fools. They confront him later on and he starts copping pleas. Yeah, this isn’t going anywhere yet, but Brooke and Marcus are about to be messy exiles if they keep playing. TT also gets a chance to confront Brooke and the general consensus is that TT is ridiculous no matter how you swing it, especially since Akbar claims that they’ve had sex again and that it’s also on camera…again. TT denies this but again, her word is not her bond from what we can tell. Now we’re at Lyrica and A1’s gender reveal. Family and friends show up to support the couple and even their moms manage to get along as Lyrica and A1 squirt blue water at each other via water guns. Yup, it’s a boy! Tonight’s episode ends with Teairra Mari sitting on a bench all dramatic-like. She texts Akbar saying she wants to talk, and he replies, telling her to name a time and place. Lordt. But we’ll have to wait and see what happens next week.

O marosa Manigault Newman is releasing her book Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the Trump White House tomorrow. She started her press rounds today on the “Today” for a sit down with Savannah Guthrie and the interview is now being dragged all over social media. From Omarosa constantly snapping at Guthrie to her yellow dress, Twiitter had time. See Also: President Donald Trump’s Voter Fraud Claims Could Lead To More Voter Suppression In the interview, Omarosa appears to be on edge and annoyed with Guthrie from the beginning. After only a few questions, she says, “Savannah, slow down. I’m gonna Please view this post in your web browser to complete the quiz. your question, don’t worry, I’m here. I’ve got all the time you need. You don’t have to ask 10 questions in one second. It’s OK.” She repeatedly told her to calm down and when asked if she actually heard Trump use the racial slur, Omarosa fired back with, “I answered that question, Savannah, so what’s the next question?” Omarosa then decided to play producer and end the interview, saying, “You know that we have an interview right after this. I know you want to go with more time… you see the time. You know that it’s a seven-minute interview. Now we’re at 10.” Watch below: Twitter has been on a rampage ever since the interview aired.

Source: Estevan Oriol / Getty Teairra Mari is back on Love and Hip-Hop Hollywood and we already know about her revenge porn drama but now we get to really see things play out with her now former boyfriend/manager, Akbar, whom she’s suing for leaking her nudes and sex videos. At the moment (on the show), she and Akbar are all good and working on her career, but Akbar is already giving off controlling ain’t ish vibes. Basically, he doesn’t like the fact that TT hangs out with Nikki. His explanation is that Teairra is above Nikki since she’s an artist and Nikki is just a socialite so that’s not a good association in his mind. But what it probably really is, is that Nikki knows BS when she sees it and isn’t afraid to call it out and he’s nervous about losing control. via GIPHY Anyway, Teairra still plans to hang out with Nikki, whom she describes as one of the only people who had her back but she does believe that Akbar is in her corner too. That latter part becomes painfully clear later on when Akbar rolls up on Teairra while she’s kicking it with Nikki and Paris at a rooftop party. He starts talking down on Nikki again then he starts talking about how he doesn’t want her to start drinking again, which is a sore spot for Teairra, and demands that she leaves with him like he’s her dang daddy and Teaira follows him. Nikki and Paris are just looking like: via GIPHY Meanwhile, Lyrica does an interview on Donatella’s show. The two of them have made peace since last season and during their interview, Lyrica talks about all the things. You know, the Safaree anaconda drama, etc. Lyrica doesn’t address it, but Lyrica G (her mama) says she wasn’t impressed with what she saw. Then she starts talking trash about K Michelle, and Lyrica tells her she looks stupid and she needs to stop making a fool of herself. Obviously, being called dumb by your own child is not something that would go over well so Lyrica G cuts her interview short as a result and storms out giving us all the dramatics. But hold up. She wasn’t impressed by Safaree’s peen? What type of D holds her attention then? via GIPHY Then AD stops by Lil Fizz’s place to pick up Fizz and Moniece’s son’s sneakers for basketball Practice, but she discovers that Fizz is dating her best friend Tiffany. If you recall, Tiffany and Moniece have beef because Tiffany felt like the latter was bad for AD. AD is obviously shocked to see Tiffany and wonders if this is on some shady ish. Fizz says he really likes Tiffany and he wasn’t trying to be messy, which is believable given Fizz’s hopeless romantic tendencies. But AD obviously still feels some type of way and we all know that Psycho Moniece is not going to be happy about this. via GIPHY Last week, we were left with an unclear answer about weather Safaree and Lyrica smashed or not, but Ray spills the deets to Princess. He tells Princess that Safaree confirmed that he and Lyrica did have sex. Ray kicks the usual spiel—you know, he doesn’t want to be in the middle of this and thinks he should tell A1. Princess tells him that minding your business is free and he should try it sometime. He claims he will, but we know what show this is. A1 will be getting that news in 5, 4, 3, 2… via GIPHY Next, we discover that Marcus’ new girl, Stasi, might be pregnant. Womp womp. He’s not happy about it and neither is Brooke, who thought she was going to get Marcus back after playing games to hurt him and telling him to go be free. It seems like Marcus really wants to be back with Brooke but this possible baby is looming over their heads. Plus, he has to break up with Stassi which will also be difficult. Why we don’t know what the results are yet is beyond me because pregnancy tests only take five minutes and they have the kind that can detect the pregnancy hormone early, so… via GIPHY The good news is, Brooke doesn’t have cancer. Yay! Lyrica and A1 get together to try to talk on their own and it does not go well at all. Lyrica starts telling A1 all the stuff she did for him and how she was there for him when he was on food stamps. Then A1 starts talking about how fake she is and listing all of her allegedly fake body parts. She starts talking about all the things that are fake on him including his dreads (which is surprising because those joints looked real). He calls her a bum. She tosses her wedding ring at him and in the end, he says he’s filing for divorce. Finally, we end with AD, Moniece, Tiffany, and Fizz attempting a peace talk and you already know that becomes a fail. Moniece is still kicking that yang about how Fizz doesn’t support her and lets his women disrespect her, and the episode wraps with security trying to keep Tiffany from fading Moniece.

90 Day Fiance is still running and has three different spin-offs. It’s a successful series. But … how much are the stars actually paid? Two recent guests on the series are exploiting a loophole to reveal everything about what goes on behind the scenes, and they’re not holding back. And yes, they’re letting us know exactly how much this pays. Though we’ve had our suspicions about this series for a while now, seeing the actual numbers in front of us was a real shock. The 90 Day Fiance couples that we know and love (or know and whatever) give out whatever updates they can. Remember how Mohamed Jbali has been giving moving updates ? He has now in Texas. And Paola Mayfield has apologized for her and her husband’s controversial Halloween costumes . But there’s only so much that they can tell us about what went on behind the scenes on 90 Day Fiance . Because, well, reality shows come with contracts. If you want to get paid for being on a reality show, whether you’re one of the stars or just behind the scenes, it’s standard for you to sign documents that you won’t reveal trade secrets. Plenty of jobs come with those, in fact. Since nobody stars on reality shows just for charity and since nobody just volunteers to film or edit a reality series solely for fun, no one who knows details — like how much the stars of 90 Day Fiance are paid — is at liberty to say, right? Until now, that is. Annie is from Thailand and David is from the US. There’s so much to their story — Annie comes from extreme poverty, David is fresh out of a divorce (and lost a lot of weight, too). David is about twice her age, Annie is hoping to live in comfort and she’s been a little surprised that David isn’t as rich as she’d imagined. Nothing in their story was too painfully awkward, though, until this last episode. David and Annie were offered a place to stay by Chris’ good friend, Chris, and Chris’ pregnant wife, Nikki. In a jaw-dropping, horrifying scene, Chris suggests that Annie could “pay him back” for letting them stay there … by giving him a massage. Now, especially in the wake of the Weinstein scandal, we hope that we don’t need to explain that “massage” is too often a code for someone trying to leverage a sexual encounter. (And, worst of all, when it’s a white guy asking an Asian woman, there are often racist undertones because of a long history of racist perceptions of Asian women within the US) Chris asked this in front of his wife, by the way. It was a shocking moment. To all of us — but not to anyone on the show. Because Nikki and Chris have taken to social media to clear things up. And they say that Chris’ overture was scripted . “Yes, the awkward scene of Chris asking for a massage was SCRIPTED,” Nikki posted. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance: Meet the Season 5 Couples! “The producer asked him to say it & Chris had to say it more than once because it didn’t come off as natural.” Honestly, it’s hard to imagine being talked into that, but when you’re doing a favor for a friend, it’s easy to feel pressured to go along with things to help your buddy out. “We were fed our lines while sitting at the table, which is why no one reacted. WE ALL KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT.” That, folks, is not how reality shows are supposed to work. Little prompts, like what topic to cover, are normal. Edits are normal. What Chris and Nikki described is not normal for reality shows. Nikki is eager to let the world know: “I’m a very outspoken person you’d be a fool to think I just sat there & [allowed] my husband to disrespect me, Annie, & our marriage.” Good that she included Annie in that. How can they reveal this? Well, Nikki and Chris say that they aren’t under contract with TLC or the production company and weren’t in any way paid to appear on the show. (They only agreed to it as a favor for Chris.) So: how much do 90 Day Fiance stars make? According to Chris and Nikki, David only makes about $1,000 per episode, and was paid $2,500 to appear in the tell-all. Look, $1,000 is a nice thing to make, but remember that 90 Day Fiance stars don’t appear in every episode. For a successful reality series, these numbers are shockingly low. For a little perspective, the good folks over at Starcasm compared 90 Day Fiance income to that sweet, sweet Teen Mom money . We know that Teen Mom 2 stars are banking about a quarter of a million dollars, or more, every year. Even the dads who appear on the show are making six digits. View Slideshow: Teen Mom: HOW MUCH Do The Stars Make?! Now, 90 Day Fiance isn’t supposed to be anybody’s full time job, which is good — because it sounds like that would put David below the poverty line. But 90 Day Fiance does at least as well, and sometimes better, in ratings than Teen Mom does. (It looks like slightly more viewers, but slightly fewer in the coveted still-culturally-relevant age demographic) We imagine that couples like Paola and Russ are making a little more than a brand new star like Chris, but … how much more? It sounds like part of 90 Day Fiance ‘s success is that they’re not paying their actors anything close to what we’d consider to be industry standards. Which might be even shadier than the accusation that they also go to such lengths to stir up drama where it doesn’t exist. Chris and Nikki suggested that they might have more to reveal in coming weeks, as new episodes air. We’ll be interested to find out what they choose to share.

It’s still hard to believe that Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder welcomed their first child together into the world in July. Their relationship has had many ups and downs, and it has given us a lot to write about over the years, but now, they are more unified than ever, and it’s adorable. Nikki was making her way to a Hollywood event on Saturday and took to Instagram to show off her good looks, and jokingly said that her hot date was a breast pump. “On my way to present at @variety ‘s #powerofwomen luncheon and this is my hot date,” she captioned the photo. “Kidding. I have another hot date. But this thing is definitely our third wheel.” We are pleased she threw the “kidding” part in because she could have caused a lot of trouble on social media. The post came just days after Ian apologized for a joke he made about messing with Nikki’s birth control to force her into pregnancy. “We decided that we wanted to have children together, and it was just time. But unbeknownst to poor Nikki, she didn’t realize that I was going to go in her purse and take out her birth control,” he said on Dr. Berlin’s Informed Pregnancy podcast. Naturally, this was met with a lot of criticism from across the world. Simply put, it’s not something to joke about because it’s a very real thing that happens all the time. Ian took swift action and turned to Instagram with a lengthy statement to reveal that he and Nikki both wanted to have a child and that he most certainly did not tamper with her birth control. “We never expect a lighthearted interview we did poking fun at EACH OTHER and how WE chose together to get pregnant, a goofy moment in Barcelona with our two best friends and the anticipation of the start of our journey together as we went from two to three, to turn into something representing a very serious matter,” his post began. “However, if this somehow sheds a light on a topic that definitely needs mainstream attention, then we are grateful for the unintended consequence.” “It’s a shame that outlets chose this as their way into a very serious discussion, as we are certainly not qualified to be the faces of this topic.” “We are two happily married people who chose TOGETHER to have a baby. The end,” he concluded. What do you think about all of this? Sound off below! View Slideshow: Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed Photos: A Whirlwind Romance
