Halle Calhoun Sizzles Craft Syndicate Finale You may recognize bronzy baddie snack Halle Calhoun from her questionable Pied Piper shenanigans or Wild’n Out or Instagram where she posts her socialite stops (and thirst traps) at industry events like the Craft Syndicate finale that brought together Rick Ross, Nipsey Hussle, Organized Noize, Zaytoven and other A-Listers to celebrate the winners of the annual music competition (that pairs up-and-coming creators in music, fashion, art and film with established entrepreneurs) at Opera in Atlanta. If the event sounded lit, it absolutely was, and included all shapes, sizes and flavors of eye candy headlined by Halle Calhoun who you definitely should peep on the flip side.
Tuesday’s episode of The Voice whittled down the contestants, giving 13 hopefuls the boot. It was a bloodbath for sure, but it highlights the big flaw in the format. The show takes too long to get to this stage, and it probably explains why the ratings are on the downside. There was a lot of movers and shakers throughout the 60-minute installment, and the results played out as follows: SAVED BY AMERICA’S VOTE Kirk Jay (Team Blake) Chris Kroeze (Team Blake) DeAndre Nico (Team Adam) Reagan Strange (Team Adam) MaKenzie Thomas (Team Jennifer) Kennedy Holmes (Team Jennifer) Chevel Shepherd (Team Kelly) Sarah Grace (Team Kelly) SAVED BY THEIR COACH Dave Fenley (Team Blake) Tyke James (Team Adam) SandyRedd (Team Jennifer) Kymberli Joye (Team Kelly) That left the fate of Ayanna Joni and Lynnea Moorer up the in the air, and they had to perform in a live sing off. Ayanna Joni – “No Tears Left to Cry” Ayanna never got a chair turn during her Blind Audition, but she benefited from The Comeback Stage. American never thought her vocal ability was all that which landed her in the bottom two. Her performance of the Ariana Grande hit was all over the place. We thought the purpose of her being taken to nurture her talent was to make her sound better. She was bubbly, but that shouldn’t be the only trait one performer has in order to stay in the game. Lynnea Moorer, “Boo’d Up” With Ayanna being so out of tune, the only way was up for Lynnea, and while her performance was not as fine-tuned as it should have been, it was still better. The true test for Lynnea will be whether her time in the bottom will light a fire under her butt to switch things up. Lynnea was saved by America’s vote and made her way to join Team Kelly. Ayanna, we hardly knew you, but this was the right call. The Voice continues Monday on NBC. View Slideshow: The Voice Winners: RANKED!
Given that Bristol Palin thinks that teen moms should be cut off by their families as punishment, plenty of people wouldn’t want to spend time with her. But it’s a bit of a surprise to hear that her own sister can’t stand her. And apparently, when it comes to Bristol and Willow, the feeling of animosity is mutual. RadarOnline reports that Willow Palin has basically given up hope that she’ll ever have a real relationship with big sister Bristol Palin. “Willow is so beaten down by her siblings,” an insider close to the 24-year-old Palin daughter admits. The source goes on to say that Willow feels that “especially Bristol” has kept her down. Willow, per the insider, has reached the point “that she doesn’t even expect anything anymore” in terms of a sibling relationship with Bristol. It sounds like this isn’t a new development by any stretch of the imagination. This dysfunctional dynamic between the sisters has been going on for years. “Bristol and Willow have a really weird past,” the source continues. The insider even goes as far as to say that: “Bristol never really cared for Willow.” That’s a major claim about a pair of siblings, but the report contains a somewhat specific example of how that alleged disinterest manifested. “She’d take Willow to parties with her,” the source says. “And then,” the insider continues. “Bristol would completely not take care of her or keep an eye on her.” That’s not just lazy — that can be dangerous. Their quiet conflict became more pronounced earlier this year. Willow got married to Ricky Bailey. Bristol was invited — in fact, she was supposed to be a bridesmaid. Instead, Bristol ditched the wedding , blowing off the family event entirely. Her issue was that Willow had invited Track Palin, their “troubled” brother, to the ceremony. Ultimately, Track couldn’t make it, either, because he got himself arrested for domestic battery … again. Willow and Bristol’s contentious relationship has even become apparent on Teen Mom OG . It has been weeks since Willow has appeared on the show. In the mean time, viewers have seen Bristol’s divorce from Dakota Meyer. They’ve seen her 17-year-old sister, Piper Palin. Teen Mom fans have seen the nightmare goblin of the frozen north herself, Sarah Palin. Willow’s absence hasn’t gone unnoticed, and it gives off the appearance that the sisters can’t even stand to appear on camera together. It sounds like Bristol was not the best older sister to Willow. That isn’t exactly a surprise — Bristol, from her blogging and her public statements, has made it clear that she’s not the best person , period. But, as much as we hate to say it, we might be Team Bristol in this feud. (Seriously, we never expected to write that in any context) First of all, it looks like Willow happily shares all of Bristol’s worst political views, so nobody has a leg up on the other in terms of basic decency. And then there’s their disagreement over Track. Track Palin has a history of domestic violence arrests , and there’s nothing funny about that. Willow might feel some misplaced sense of loyalty to her brother simply because they happen to share some genes. Bristol boycotted her sister’s wedding because Willow had invited a known domestic abuser. That’s a courageous move on Bristol’s part, and you have no idea how much it pains me to write those words. Maybe Willow should reserve her loyalty for those who deserve it. And maybe Bristol — and Teen Mom OG — are better off without Willow just as they’re better off without Track.

Noam Galai/Getty Images Jocelyn Savage’s Parents Allege That R.Kelly Gave Their Daughter STDs The parents of the woman they believe is being “held captive” by R. Kelly are speaking out. The Pied Piper’s ex-wife Andrea Kelly appeared on “Sister Circle” Wednesday for an exclusive sit-down with host Syleena Johnson where she detailed abuse allegations at the hands of the singer. According to Drea she initially wasn’t strong enough to accept that she was a victim of domestic violence, but she is now. “You have to love somebody enough to tell them enough,” said Andrea. “I don’t believe my ex-husband has enough people in his life to be real with him to be honest with him. I wasn’t strong enough. “How can I be a voice for the voiceless when I don’t have my own?” she added. “I had to get to a point to accept that I’m a victim of domestic violence.” Later Jocelyn Savage’s parents came out and told the hosts that their daughter who they STILL believe is being held against her will was diagnosed with two STDS; herpes and chlamydia after sleeping with the singer. As previously reported another woman in Texas alleged that R. Kelly gave her the untreatable herpes virus and is currently suing him. What do YOU think about Andrea Kelly and Jocelyn Savage’s parents speaking on R. Kelly??? See more of Andrea’s Sister Circle interview on the flip.
Y esterday, a video of R. Kelly appeared online with the 51-year-old singer saying, “I’m handcuffed by my destiny. It’s too late. They should’ve did this sh*t 30 years ago. It’s too late. The music has been injected into the world.” It got worse. He then proposed a toast and said, “To all the strong m*therf*ckers in here right now. M*therf*ckers like you is why I still continue to do what I do, because I have a basketball mentality. As long as I’ve got the ball, the world is on defense.” Watch the video below: So, remember that I told you about that random Antoine Walker FB Live video with R. Kelly last night? Well, here is partially slurring Kels proposing a toast declaring “it’s too late” to #MuteRKelly pic.twitter.com/a45z7EDis2 — Exavier Pope (@exavierpope) May 18, 2018 Clearly, the video is deeply disturbing and Kelly seems to be indicating that it’s “too late” to catch him for his alleged crimes against women and young girls. However, according to TMZ, it’s all a big misunderstanding. “Kelly was simply celebrating with his pals — including former basketball player Antoine Walker — rather than bashing any of his accusers,” the gossip site says. “We’re told his ‘too late’ comment was in reference to those trying to silence him, like Spotify.” In reference to those trying to silence him? Wouldn’t that also mean his accusers? And isn’t his music being removed from Spotify as a direct result of the accusations? SEE ALSO: #TimesUp for R. Kelly? Hopefully. Here’s How You Can Support the Movement To Hold The ‘Pied Piper’ Accountable In case you missed it, on May 10, after the #MuteRKelly hashtag went viral, Spotify removed Kelly ‘s music from all of their playlists under their public hate content and hateful conduct policy. Streaming service Pandora also agreed to no longer actively promote the 51-year-old’s music. However, according to the Associated Press reports, Kelly’s streaming numbers are “relatively” the same with some “small growth.” Obviously, Kelly’s team would try to explain this video because “They should’ve did this sh*t 30 years ago” sounds like an admission of guilt that could be used in court, which is relevant considering the endless lawsuits . Yet, after more than 24 years of allegations against him, Kelly appears to be invincible.

For many, the Emmys are all about celebrating the best shows and movies on television, but for others it’s all about the fashion. Now, I have to be honest and admit I do actually watch the Emmys for both the awards and the fashion.
