Yeah, Ok: Rob Kardashian Claims Dinner With Alexis Skyy Wasn’t A Shot At Blac Chyna

Credit: DJDM/WENN.com Rob Kardashian out here being messy. Over the weekend Love & Hip Hop star Alexis Skyy blasted Blac Chyna , claiming the ex-stripper was cool one second and started bugging out the next…all at a party both ladies attended. According to Skyy, Chyna threw a drink, at which point the altercation turned into a physical fight. On Monday, Rob Kardashian posted Skyy as his #WCW —despite her very recent beef with his baby moms—and hours later Skyy was cooking Rob a full course meal at what appeared to be Kris Jenner ‘s home. He claims he wasn’t being petty , though. Me and Alexis known each other for 5 years so stop with that https://t.co/511P3Os4Iv — ROBERT KARDASHIAN (@robkardashian) January 15, 2019 Damn i was just trying to eat some good food ,,, GOODnight world — ROBERT KARDASHIAN (@robkardashian) January 15, 2019 Come on Rob…there isn’t that much coincidence in the world. In case you missed Alexis Skyy’s account of what went down between her and Chyna, here’s her side of things: “I am, like, the nicest person in the world,” she began. “I’m sitting down, minding my business. Somebody said, ‘Yo, Chyna is at the party, she wants to kick it wit you.’ So I went over there, I sat with her, we kicked it, we had a drink or two.” “After the second drink we had some Red Bull,” she continued “…and out of nowhere this b*tch starts, ‘B*tch, you gotta get the f*ck up out of my section.’ I said, ‘Who the f*ck are you talking to?’ She’s like, ‘You gotta get up right now.’ So at that point, she starts throwing a drink…we start throwing hands. So from there on, whatever happened, happened. I got kicked out.” Do you think Rob Kardashian had dinner with Alexis Skyy just to throw a shot at his ex? Photo: WENN

Report: Travis Scott Consulted With Colin Kaepernick About His Super Bowl LIII Halftime Gig

Ever since it was rumored and then eventually confirmed that  Travis Scott  would be performing at halftime of Super Bowl LIII, the Mo. City rapper has been met with criticism on both sides, mainly due to the NFL’s treatment of exiled quarterback  Colin Kaepernick . Kaepernick has been out of football for two seasons now as he was allegedly blacklisted for his on-field protest against police brutality. Some believe that Scott’s participation is a disrespectful motion to Kaepernick, Black Lives Matter and those who have effectively protested watching and attending NFL games for what has occurred to Kaepernick, sources say that Scott consulted with Kaepernick about his involvement with the Super Bowl halftime show. According to Variety : “A source close to Scott said that while the two did not necessarily agree, they emerged from the conversation with mutual respect and understanding.” The insider said that Scott defended his decision by insisting the show could allow more light to be shone on the cause of social justice. He reportedly refused to confirm his participation in the Feb. 3 performance unless the NFL donated $500,000 to a social justice cause of Scott’s choice. That cause wound up being Dream Corps, a nonprofit organization that specializes in social justice issues. “I back anyone who takes a stand for what they believe in,” Scott said when announcing his Super Bowl Halftime Show appearance. “I know being an artist that it’s in my power to inspire. So before confirming the Super Bowl Halftime performance, I made sure to partner with the NFL on this important donation. I am proud to support Dream Corps and the work they do that will hopefully inspire and promote change.” RELATED:  Should Travis Scott Still Perform At The Super Bowl?

African-American Cannabis Advocate Gets Historic Times Square Billboard For New Year’s Eve

Source: MJM Strategy / MJM Strategy In the booming cannabis industry, the participation of Black entrepreneurs has grown although women are still underrepresented. Former corporate executive and cannabis advocate Dasheeda Dawson will hopefully bolster the ranks in that arena after her history-making moment in Times Square this coming New Year’s Eve. With her company The WeedHead, Ms. Dawson is the mind behind the brand, which will be the first minority-led cannabis company to be featured in a Times Square billboard promotional campaign. “New Year’s Eve is a time for celebration, and ushering in a fresh start and perspective, says Dasheeda, founder of “The WeedHead ,” a lifestyle brand aimed at high powered professionals curious about and/or working in the legal cannabis industry. “It’s a time for entrepreneurs and businesses to reassess their goals and objectives. My book ‘How to Succeed in the Green Rush,’ is a workbook designed to help small business owners, contractors and professionals interested in the cannabis industry, enter with the knowledge they need to succeed in 2019. We’re thrilled to showcase our workbook at Times Square, the world’s most iconic New Year’s Eve location.” The WeedHead and other women-owned brands will appear in the digital billboard promotion which will highlight Dawson’s book as part of an action organized by Honeysuckle  magazine. The campaign will also feature other brands such as My Bud Vase, Happy Munkey, and other businesses that are all making their Times Square debut. This comes as Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s recent plans to move towards recreational cannabis use in the state and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s endorsement of adult recreational cannabis use.

Oh?: Andrew Lincoln Leaving ‘The Walking Dead’ After Season 9, Reportedly

Follow this link:

Source: AMC / AMC Last season we unexpectedly lost Carl Grimes (Chanler Riggs), and now if reports are true, his dad Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) will follow him after next season as the next fan favorite to exit The Walking Dead . Didn’t see this one coming at all. No one is truly untouchable on The Walking Dead , we learned that last season when we watched Carl succumb to a walker bite despite living well into the zombie apocalypse in the comics. According to a Deadline report , Rick Grimes time is almost up as well on the AMC blockbuster show. For 8 seasons fans have followed and watched Rick lose nearly his entire family and friends but never imagined his run was anywhere near. via GIPHY The show is still currently filming its ninth season and contracts are still being worked out, but no details have been revealed exactly how Rick exit will happen. According to the report, he will only appear in six episodes in the now Angela Kang ran show. When we last left Rick, he has overcome his greatest foe Nega n (Jeffrey Dean Morgan)  but might have gained two new ones in former friends Maggie (Lauren Cohan)  and Daryl (Norman Reedus). Ironically Cohan was engaged in a contract dispute which has been resolved and her participation next season will be reportedly reduced to six-episodes as she focuses more on her role in the new ABC show  Whiskey Cavalier.  So with Rick leaving who is poised to take over? Fan favorite Daryl will lead the group according to the report. Reedus is reportedly going to receive a $20 million contract that is definitely enough incentive to stay on the TWD for the foreseeable future. There is no word if Danai Gurira will stop swinging her sword past season 9 and AMC declined to comment about the recent revelations. All of this news comes after TWD suffered a significant drop in ratings according to the shows viewership standards. So maybe a fresh new start for the show might help get those viewers back who were turned off by season 8. — Photo: AMC

Kenneka Jenkins’ Mom Accuses Protesters Of Profiting Off Daughter’s Death

  A ctivists are getting paid from protests surrounding the death of Kenneka Jenkins in a suburban Chicago hotel earlier this month, according to the teenager’s mother. “I’m ending y’all’s agendas that’s not righteous toward my child,” Tereasa Martin accused the activists in a video posted to Facebook on Sunday night. READ MORE: Kenneka Jenkins’ Mother Announces Funeral Date Martin’s claim seemingly targeted one person in particular who has been organizing daily protests outside of the Crowne Plaza hotel in Rosemont, Illinois, where Jenkins’ body was found frozen in a walk-in storage freezer on September 9. “Who else could she have been talking about?” Jedidiah Brown asked the Chicago Sun Times during a recent interview. Brown told the Sun Times that he had raised more than $6,000 to supplement any relevant legal fees. Still, Brown went ahead and organized a protest for Tuesday despite Martin’s calls for the demonstrations to end. 5440 n river road @6pm Tomorrow! Many questions still exist im going back, this is bigger thn us. Only a direct no frm mom will stop me. — Jedidiah Brown (@livelifefreed) September 26, 2017 Martin’s appeal to have the protests end came as a social media chorus grew louder wondering about the status of the investigation into Jenkins’ death. The prospects of her death going unsolved like so many other black teens before her was a main concern of many on Twitter. It's starting to look like we'll never know what really happened to Kenneka Jenkins. — Thomas Kelly (@thomas_438) September 26, 2017 Kenneka Jenkins story gone get swept under the rug smh. Poor baby & her funeral finally this weekend. — KB (@a__mirah) September 26, 2017 Jenkins’ funeral has been scheduled to take place on the South Side of Chicago on Saturday, Martin also said in the Facebook video. Meanwhile, details of the Rosemont Police Department’s investigation into Jenkins’ death have been scarce while authorities await autopsy results. The cause of death has not yet been revealed and there is no surveillance footage of her entering the freezer. The absence of both have prompted a whirlwind of conspiracy theories , which authorities have said only slowed their investigation. Martin has pleaded for the FBI to intervene and launch its own independent probe, but Rosemont police declined the participation of the federal agency. See Martin’s full Facebook video below.

Dan Kay, Former Survivor Contestant, Dies at 40

Very sad news today out of the reality television world: Dan Kay, a contestant on Survivor: Gabon back in the fall of 2008, died suddently on December 31.  He was 40 years old. The sad news has gone public as a result of a newly-printed obituary from the Lambert Funeral Home & Crematory. Kay worked as a lawyer; hailed from Brookline, New Hampshire; and was born in 1976. He earned a bachelor’s degree from UMass-Amherst and also law degree from Syracuse University. The cause of death is unknown at this time, as the obituary says only that he “died unexpectedly” on the final day of 2016. It notes that Kay’s “desire to be challenged and his quest for adventure lead to his participation on the reality show, Survivor.” Kay was the eighth person voted out of Survivor: Gabon. During his run on the beloved CBS reality show, he described himself as an “athletic kid growing up,” and his obituary lists his hobbies as “running, skiing, listening to music, and attending Crossway Christian Church.” In response to this tragic turn of events, Survivor host Jeff Probst Tweeted the following statement: “I just heard the very sad news about the sudden loss of Dan Kay of Survivor: Gabon. The Survivor family sends our love to Dan’s family.” After he was voted out, Kay told Andy Dehnart  of Reality Blurred that it would be “a little bit shallow if I said [Survivor] changed my life,” but added: “I think it made me appreciate the simplicity of life and what you need.”” Kay is the fourth Survivor cast member to pass away, following the deaths of Jenn Lyon, B.B. Anderson, and Caleb Bankston. He is survived by his two young children, Reese Elizabeth and Jackson “Jax” Russell-Reid, as well as his girlfriend, Jennifer DePietro, mother, Jean-Ann, and sister, Andrea . “More than anything, Dan cherished the time he spent with his two young children, Reese Elizabeth Kay and Jackson “Jax” Russell-Reid Kay,” the obituary reads. “Those who knew Dan best, would agree he was a child at heart.” A memorial will be held Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at the Lambert Funeral Home & Crematory in Manchester, New Hampshire. The obituary says that “memorial donations may be made to Crossway Christian Church, 503 Main Dunstable Rd., Nashua, NH 03062, or a charity of your choice.” Here is a video of Dan introducing himself to Survivor viewers prior to taking part in Survivor: Gabon… Dan Kay Introduces Himself to Survivor Fans May he rest in peace.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians Recap: Family First

On  Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 11 Episode 12 , the girls recreated an iconic family video for their Momager’s epic 60th birthday. The celebration took place amidst the backdrop of some seriously heavy stuff, however, most notably involving Lamar Odom’s health … Watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 11 Episode 12 Online You don’t have to  watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online  to know that Lamar was found on the brink of death in a Vegas brothel. He lived to tell about it, but it took a toll on not only the former NBA star, but wife Khloe Kardashian, who was left to pick up the pieces: “I am very protective over Lamar right now. I feel so guilty being away from him … my brain is still at the hospital. I get super anxious.” Not only was she worried about her estranged, ailing husband, but the reality of having to be asked about his health 100 times a day. All on top of the fact that their divorce was about to become final when she called it off to care for him … while still dating James Harden. “I want to live the life that I was already living before this whole thing happened,” Khloe admitted, with trademark honesty, at one point. Meanwhile, the family prepared to celebrate Kris Jenner’s 60th birthday while also marking birthdays for Kendall and Caitlyn Jenner. View Slideshow: 11 Times Khloe Kardashian Taught Us The Value of Tough Love There was some serious surrounding Kendall, for once, regarding her participation in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show – a bit deal. Kendall, as she’s explained many times, did not want family there as she seeks to dispel the notion that her name is why she’s famous. You can imagine her frustration, then, when Kim Kardashian urged Caitlyn Jenner to go … and this decision was made public no less. That led to an ugly phone call in which Kendall laid down the law. She also laid the smack down on Kylie Jenner for a different reason. When Kylie asked if she could uninvite Tyga from Kendall’s party due to one of their many fights, Kendall shot her down. She invited him. Fortunately, if you know anything about Kyga, you know they make up as quickly as they break up, and such was the case here, too. Finally, the whole gang surprised Momager Kris with a recreation of her 30th birthday music video, and everything was right with the world.

Stop The Violence: 14-Year-Old Kahton Anderson To Stand Trial As Adult For Murder Of Father Riding Bus [Video]

Shorty wanna be a thug … Kahton Anderson To Be Tried As Adult In Bus Shooting Murder Via NYDailyNews The 14-year-old gang banger accused of gunning down an innocent Brooklyn father of two on a crowded city bus was armed with a powerful .357-Magnum pistol, sources said. “Pretty big gun for a pretty small man,” a disgusted Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said Friday after Kahton Anderson was charged with second-degree murder and ordered to stand trial as an adult. The lanky Anderson, who was aiming at a rival gang member when police said he fatally shot 39-year-old Angel Rojas in the head, said nothing as he was led out handcuffed from the 79th Precinct stationhouse in Bedford-Stuyvesant. “The stupidity of those gangs that basically, over nothing, are trying to kill each other,” Bratton fumed. “Unfortunately, in the process, (they) kill innocents as they did with this hardworking young man trying to raise his family.” Anderson was arraigned Friday in Brooklyn Criminal Court and ordered held without bail. He never cast his eyes toward his mother and at least four other family members who sat in the court. Prosecutor Lindsay Gerdes said Anderson “made statements to police shortly after being arrested, admitting his participation in the crime.” Although Kahton is very young, he’s far from a baby, and his mother seems a lil delusional about who her son really is. This is not Anderson’s first brush with the law — he has a prior arrest from 2011 on his rap sheet. The details of that bust were not available because it was a juvenile arrest and his file is sealed. Still, his mother tearfully called her son “a good kid,” even as she said she would pray for Rojas’ family. “A tragedy has happened,” said the mom, who declined to give her name. “Both families are suffering a loss.” Her son, she said, is just “a child.” “My son did not get on some bus and start shooting,” she said. Unfortunately, ma’am, that is exactly what he appeared to do. Yes, both families are suffering a loss, but there is only one victim here. Like Sway, we don’t have the answers, but something HAS to be done to get the guns out of these kids’ hands. Image via Shutterstock
