Beyoncé’s ‘Lemonade’ To Be Released On All Music Streaming Services

Original post:

It’s been almost three years since Beyoncé lit the game on fire with her visual album Lemonade and though most, if not all of her fans already own the classic project, for the third anniversary of it’s release, Lemonade will be available on all streaming platforms. Variety is reporting that the album which was Tidal and iTune’s exclusive will be available on all music streaming services including Spotify and Apple Music beginning April 23rd. The day coincides with the premier of Beyoncé’s 65-minute music film Lemonade on HBO which had the culture in a frenzy on social media and evidently helped lead to 2.5 million copies sold worldwide since then. Aside from being the best selling album of 2016, Lemonade also went on to win a few Grammy awards for best urban contemporary album and best music video. One thing that will differ from the album’s previous release is that it will now feature the poetry by Warsan Shire which was featured in the film during the songs interludes. We totally expect this to dominate once again.

The Bachelor Spoilers: Final Four Contestants REVEALED!

Colton Underwood’s time on The Bachelor is just getting started, but already, The Bachelor spoilers are hitting the Internet. Production insiders are spilling the tea on this season’s outcome … including which lucky (?) ladies make it to the end. Obviously, major Bachelor spoilers lie ahead, but if you haven’t picked up on that already be warned: Scrolling further will result in knowledge of who receives Colton’s final roses. There are some surprises on this year’s list, but fans who have been watching the virginal former football star and his interactions closely will probably be able to predict at least two of the final four. So without further ado, here are Colton’s semi-finalists (according to Reality Steve who knows a thing or two about the subject): Hannah Godwin This one is unlikely to shock anyone. Hannah received the first impression rose , and she and Colton seemed to hit it off the moment they locked eyes. If you’re taken aback that blogger Hannah makes it to the final four, there’s a good chance you flunked chemistry in high school. Tayshia Adams Little bit of a surprise here, as Tayshia has already stirred up a bit of controversy this season. She stunned some viewers when she revealed that she got divorced after just 18 months of marriage in 2017. Many assumed that virgin Colton wouldn’t go for a woman who’s been down the aisle before, but apparently, he’s not as judgmental as some  Bachelor fans. Caelynn Miller-Keyes This one’s also not much of a shocker. Caelynn may have turned off some viewers when she wore her Miss North Carolina sash on night one. But she was also the first to snag a kiss from Colton, so it stands to reason that she’d make it far in the competition. Cassie Randolph And what would a final four be without a villain? Depending on what kind of Bachelor fan you are, this is either the biggest surprise of all — or it’s utterly predictable. Cassie has been annoying her castmates since the first night, but as longtime Bachelor viewers know, contentious types have a history outlasting their rivals. We’ll leave it up to you to decide if Cassie’s staying power is the result of Colton’s decisions — or the show’s producers. So there you have it. These are the four women who Colton will find most alluring this season …  … and now you’re months ahead of your friends in the debate over why Cassie should have been kicked to the curb the first time she interrupted! You won’t believe what happens by the end of the journey, though. Check out the gallery below to find out, but before you do, be advised: Grab a hat and hold the f–k on to it.

Milania Giudice Releases Music Video, Leaves Internet Aghast

So this is a thing that has now happened:  Milania Giudice has come out with her very first music video. The video was released by Bravo on Wednesday night, following many episodes of The Real Housewives of New Jersey during which the 14-year old continually expressed an interest in pop music. This isn't so different from many 14-year olds around the country, of course. But Milania – or her famous mother, who one might think would know better, really – is now under fire for what she actually says and does in the song/video. Titled “I Can’t Wait To Grow Up,” the track features Milania rapping about all the things she's excited to do when she's older. Such as: covering Vogue magazine, having her own driver and traveling the world. This is where she stops being like other 14-year olds around the country and starts sounding like a rich and entitled spoiled brat. Should these really be the priorities or fantasies of a young teenager? Twitter users aren't so certain. “THIS IS EMBARRASSING NOW. AND WILL ONLY BE MORE EMBARRASSING IN 10 YEARS. I FEEL FOR HER,” wrote one critic online upon the video release, while another added: She’s gonna regret this video so much in a little while…. Teresa made a big mistake letting her do this . And then another: Want to say something positive, but I can’t . The video includes appearances by Teresa and, somehow, Fetty Wap, along with a spoken introduction that goes as follows: Hey it's me Milania, I'm sure you've seen me around, you've probably seen me on TV, I'm about to go pick up my besties Tay Tay and Stephanie. We about to go pop them tags, get our nails done, hair done. We ain't chasing boys, we chasing checks, we chasing dreams, we chasing goals. Big things poppin', little things stoppin'. There's also at least one reference in here to Joe Giudice, Milania's father who is currently in jail for tax fraud and who is scheduled to be deported this spring. “My dad.. is the best dad in the world” and “needs to come home,” Milania has said about Joe . Check out her controversial video now.

Jonathan Rivera and Fernanda Flores Speak Out After 90 Day Fiance Split

As we reported with heavy hearts earlier this year, Jonathan Rivera and Fernanda Flores have split . The 90 Day Fiance couple were one of this season’s most likable and they really seemed to have made it … until they didn’t. Now, both Fernanda and Jonathan are speaking out. Fernanda has shared a couple of vague posts this week. “She became silent,” Fernanda writes. “There is no longer any words to describe the absence of emotion within her heart,” she continues. Fernanda adds: “She went from arguing to be upset, now feeling nothing at all.” Is this poetry or something more autobiographical? And is it both? Later, Fernanda wrote something a little more universal. “Don’t judge someone without knowing the whole story,” she advises her followers on Instagram. “You may think you understand,” Fernanda acknowledges. “But you don’t.” None of us ever know the whole story about reality stars, but fans are especially in the dark about Fernanda and Jon’s split. She wasn’t a golddigger or after a green card — Jonathan is the first to say that. As far as we know, they had a dispute, in part over where they should live. Fernanda spoke angrily and stormed off and Jonathan believes that the things she said can never be taken back. These latest words from Fernanda are vague. Last week, Fernanda was a little more direct and arguably a bit more confrontational. “I don’t want to talk about anything about Jonathan again,” Fernanda told her followers on Instagram live. “He’s talking a lot,” Fernanda acknowledged. “He can say whatever he wants.” “I’m not going to talk about it until I’m ready,” she affirmed. Apparently, she is still not ready to address this fresh wound. It hasn’t even been a month. That is very understandable. Heartbreak hurts. Fernanda’s posts this week were preceded by Jonathan going on Instagram Live to speak to his followers. “Every marriage has its problems,” he emphasizes. “Every relationship has its issues.” “It’s all about your attitude. As long as you’re positive… [I] gotta take it day by day.” “all of this has happened really fast” “I promise you, I didn’t give up. I gave 110 percent to my marriage,” he shared. Jonathan concludes by explaining: “I reached a point where I said, ‘I have to love myself just as much.'” Jonathan’s latest post is actually a throwback to work that he has done in his community in Lumberton, North Carolina. “I created a nutrition program at the Lumberton Children’s Clinic, helping to introduce a healthier way of life to the underprivileged youth,” he shares. “I started the program after realizing the large epidemic of Childhood Obesity plaguing our community,” Jonathan explains. “My intention was to raise awareness by boosting the children’s self-confidence,” he writes. Jonathan aimed to help these kids to “improve their eating habits, and experience love in a nurturing environment.” “These children not only face health issues, but are also scrutinized amongst their peers,” he acknowledges. “I realized that I was in a fortunate position to give back,” he explains. “And wanted to do everything in my power to make sure I was doing my part.” View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Couples: Are They Still Together?

Smooth Presidential Jams: Barack Obama Debuts On Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs Chart

Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty President Obama Just Landed A Spot On The Billboard Charts Barack Obama has just scored a spot on the Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart. Y’all’s lil president could never. The Hawaii native debuted on this week’s list for his contribution to the new gospel-inspired arrangement of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton hit “One Last Time (44 Remix),” according to Billboard . Obama’s contribution to the song (unfortunately) doesn’t include any singing, but he delivers his rendition of George Washington’s farewell address on the track–which also features original Hamilton cast member Christopher Jackson and gospel star BeBe Winans. The song is a variation on the original song from Hamilton and debuted at No. 22, one slot above the John Legend’s holiday hit, “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.” Lin-Manuel Miranda released the track on December 20 as his last “Hamildrop” of the 2018, and of course, its title is an obvious nod to Obama being the 44th U.S. president. President Obama’s history with Miranda dates back to 2009, when the he held “An Evening of Poetry, Music & Spoken Word” at the White House. Miranda rapped a song from what he was calling his “Hamilton Mixtape,” and the performance garnered tens of thousands of views online. That event is what helped inspire the full-blown 2016 musical that went on to win the New Yorker’s musical 11 Tony awards, as well as the 2016 Grammy for best musical theater album and the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for drama. The entire cast visited the White House in 2016 and Miranda once again returned in 2017 to perform “One Last Time” as a tribute to Obama at the end of his second term.

Kourtney Kardashian Naked on Keeping Up: Behind the Scenes!

If you watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online , you know Kourtney stripped down for a fully nude photo shoot Sunday night. If you don't watch it … consider this your highlight reel! This isn't the first time we've seen a  Kourtney Kardashian nude photo shoot , or even gone behind the scenes of one via  KUWTK . But it was a noteworthy one just the same. Don't believe us? Check out the images below of the 36-year-old mother of three (!) posing in the buff, on the ground and standing up. Seriously, could her curves be any more insane?!  Photographer Brian Bowen Smith told her flat out that “if you're not blown away by your picture, then it means we didn't do it right.” Kourtney then confessed her one major insecurity. “The only thing is I feel like my ass like disappeared when I lost weight,” the realty star lamented. “We need to plump it up.” Do we, though? It's awfully hard to fix perfection. Kylie Jenner , who was present to watch her half-sister bare all, has big shoes to fill if and when she decides to go down this road … 1. Like Poetry in Motion Kourtney Kardashian has posed naked on Keeping Up with the Kardashians before, as that’s kind of what she does for a living sometimes … but that doesn’t make the January 2016 episode in which she did so any less magnificent. 2. The Bottom Line In more ways than one, if you know what we mean. We mean Kourtney showing off her bare bottom helps rake in the dollars, improving the financial bottom line considerably for her family. 3. Work it Out! Kourt said she feels like she’s in her workout class. NOTE: We need to sign up for that workout class. 4. Kourtney on Top Kourtney Kardashian may not be wearing a top in this screen grab from Keeping Up with the Kardashians, but she is on top of the world in our book. 5. Pure Perfection Kim Kardashian gets all the publicity, but Kourtney is pure perfection. 6. Take Notes, Kylie Kourtney Kardashian, 36, shows sister Kylie Jenner, 18, how it’s done on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. View Slideshow
