Kylie Rae Harris Dies in Car Crash; Country Singer Was 30

Tragic news out of the world of country music. Kylie Rae Harris, a popular artist in this industry, died from injuries she sustained in a car accident on Wednesday, September 4. She was 30 years old. The fatal crash took place in New Mexic, with Taos county dispatch confirming to E! News and other outlets that the incident occurred on State road 522 and that there was two fatalities:  A 16-year-old girl and 30-year-old woman. The awful news was subsequently confirmed by Harris’ publicist, who issued the following statement: We are heartbroken to confirm that Kylie Rae Harris passed away in a car accident last night. We have no further details to share, and ask for privacy for her family at this time. Everyone that knew Kylie knew how much she loved her family and, beyond that, how much she loved music. The best tribute to her unmatched enthusiasm for both is to spread as much love as you can today, and listen to music that fully inspires you. The singer, who leaves behind a six-year old daughter, actially Tweeted shortly before she  died that she was low on gas at one point during her journey. “Fuel range is 46 miles and I’m 36 from the nearest gas station. Dear baby Jesus please don’t let me get stranded in NM,” she wrote. Her Instagram Story echoed a similar sentiment: “Current Sitch: Iffy.” A boomerang video showed she had “low fuel range,” with the red needle almost past empty. In another series of social media videos, the late artist explained why she was making this trek in the first place. She emotionally remember sitting in the backseat as a child as her dad, who’s now deceased, drove her down the very same road on which she ended up passing away. “Alright, I look a mess,” she said, adding: “It’s ’cause I’ve been crying! It’s okay though. It’s a good cry. “I just got to Taos, New Mexico, and I’m playing this festival here called the Big Barn Dance. I love this festival.” “But for those of you who don’t know,” she continued… “I spent the last 20 years of my life coming to Taos with my dad and my sister. “My grandparents lived here, my uncle still lives here. But basically, literally everybody that was here has passed away, except for my uncle, and including my dad.” Pretty eerie, huh? Harris released her self-titled EP in March. She previously told Billboard that the track “Twenty Years From Now” was inspired by her daughter, Corbie. “It scared me thinking that it was totally possible I could be gone before my daughter reaches that point,” she said this spring. “I want to meet my kid’s kids. Getting to the age your parents were when you were a child brings a whole lot of perspective.” Country star Maren Morris paid tribute to the Harris shortly after learning she had died, writing on her Instagram Story: Damn. I just heard the news and I’m in shock. @kylierh, you have always been so sweet and supportive of me. Your soulful voice and Texas beauty was always jaw-dropping, even when we were teenagers at the Larry Joe Taylor festival. Thinking of your family and your precious baby girl right now. Rest In Peace. Just such awful news all around. We send our condolences to the friends, family members and loved ones of Kylie Rae Harris. May she rest in peace.

Derick Dillard Reveals Love of Notorious B.I.G. on Instagram; Fans Lose Their Freakin’ Minds

We probably don’t need to tell you that many, many things are banned in the Duggar family. Pre-marital physical contact , certain types of clothing, any food that won’t instantly harden your arteries and/or doesn’t include Tater Tots as a main ingredient … the list goes on and on. High on the Jim Bob’s list of harmless diversions that’ll earn you a pitchfork where the sun don’t shine in the afterlife is secular entertainment. In JB’s mind, there’s one reason and one reason only to write a song — and that’s to praise Jesus. In fact, we’re pretty sure that’s Jim Bob’s only approved reason for doing anything. So you can imagine the patriarch’s chagrin upon learning that his kids have been tuning their radios to 66.6 Satan FM. It started with the revelation that Jana Duggar enjoys listening to Michael Buble. We literally can’t think of anything less dangerous than Jana Duggar rocking out to Michael Buble, but like we said, Jim Bob makes Ned Flanders look like Ozzy Osbourne. Anyway, from there, things escalated rapidly. Next thing we knew Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard were taking their kids to see Toy Story 4 , which — if we recall — doesn’t have a single crucifixion scene in it. Now, JB’s worst nightmare has come to life, as Derick has expressed a fondness for the hippity-hop. D-Dilly posted the above photo this week, along with the following caption: “I love it when they call me big papa… ha love hangin with these two, even if it might not always seem the most productive. “It’ll pay off in the end. I love them and how inquisitive they always are about the world around them.” Again, incredibly innocuous — until you consider the fact that Derick’s opening line is a reference to a song by the Notorious B.I.G., a man who is literally the exact opposite of Jim Bob Duggar. Believe it or not, this isn’t the first time that a member of the whitest, most rural family on the planet has expressed an affection for a genre of music that was born in black urban communities. Jessa Duggar’s husband Ben Seewald loves hip hop and he even interviewed Christian rappers on his short-lived YouTube series. Although come to think of it, Jim Bob’s disapproval of his content may have been part of the reason that Ben’s show didn’t last very long. Better be careful, Der! You’re never too old to lose your Instagram privileges! View Slideshow: Jill Duggar & Derick Dillard: Here’s Why Fans Think They’re Getting Divorced

Kris Jenner Cries Over OJ Simpson in New KUWTK Promo

Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 17 kicks off on Sunday, September 8 and you won't believe this, but… … it looks like there's some major controversy ahead! For starters, as evidenced by the photo below, new episodes will at least partly focus on Kim Kardashian's trip to the White House, which really did take place. It wasn't, as some racist Presidents might say, fake new. See for yourself: Elsewhere on  Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 17 , Khloe will continue to deal with the fallout over Tristan Thompson kissing good friend Jordyn Woods… the spit swap that led to this couple finally calling it quits. In one scene featured in this promotional video, we get a glimpse at what appears to be True Thompson's first birthday party. “Oh, my God. Tristan's here,” Kim is heard saying, as she and Malika Haqq stare disapprovingly around. “No, I'm done,” Khloe says, walking away, after having previously said her life is “filled with drama.” Later in this revealing preview, Kim says experiences a pretty serious health scare. She says she feels it in her bones that she has lupus. We then quickly see doctors running some numerous tests as Kris Jenner comforts her concerned daughter. “Let's stay positive until we get some results,” she tells Kim. (As is always the case with this show and this family, of course, these episodes were filmed months ago, meaning we'd know by now if Kim actually had been diagnosed with lupus. Certainly takes away some of the suspense, huh?) This extended Season 17 preview also shows fans a glimpse of an intense blowup between Kris' longtime boyfriend and the father of Kourtney Kardashian's kids. Yes, Corey Gamble and Scott Disick randomly go at it. “Get the f-ck out of here!” Scott shouts across the table at an angry Corey, who fires back: “I'm not retracting a f-cking word I said! I said what the f-ck I said!” Finally, we get to the most hilarious aspect of this trailer: Kris once again bringing up her alleged affair with OJ Simpson. For those unaware. her late ex-husband was an attorney and a good friend of the former NFL running back and likely double murderer. There's been chatter forever that Kris and OJ slept together — and that OJ is Khloe's biological father ! “They printed a story that I was sleeping with OJ,” Kris says with tears in her eyes in this sneak peek, telling Khloe: “After 25 years, you'd think it just wouldn't be a thing.” CHECK OUT THE FULL SUPERTEASE NOW!

Roc Back: Jay-Z Ends 20-Year Beef With Cam’ron — But Here’s How It Started In The First Place

Go here to see the original:

Source: theo wargo / Getty Throughout his 25-year career, Jay-Z has had his fair share of hip hop beefs. But the beautiful thing about elevating in life is that you find peace in your heart to let all the pettiness cease. Even altercations that you think can’t be undone, Hov is proof that time heals all wounds. On Friday, the Brooklyn legend performed his B-sides set at New York City’s Webster Hall for the venue’s highly anticipated reopening, and needless to say, he was unapologetically New York. View this post on Instagram #JAYZ x #BSides2 A post shared by Roc Nation (@rocnation) on Apr 26, 2019 at 11:19pm PDT   Jay brought out one-time rival Nas to perform their 2007 track “Success” followed by the classic “Dead Presidents”, then the Queens legend closed out their set with “New York State of Mind”. Nas and Hov have been cool for over 13 years now, after an epic beef that literally changed the course of hip hop and rap battles as we knew it to be. View this post on Instagram You represent an era when albums were very raw, bold and true to self…and you still do! Last night was Epic, you gave life to songs that get forgotten or slept on …it was an honor to share the stage with you and to be a part of Bsides. #BSides2 A post shared by Nasir Jones (@nas) on Apr 27, 2019 at 6:48am PDT   But one of the illest beefs of Jay’s career was during his departure from Roc-A-Fella records Dipset was becoming the new faces of the label. The group’s frontman, and Dame Dash ‘s Harlem brother, Cam’ron was not one to back down from the then untouchable, glorified Hov. The battle of the egos caused some real drama for both Jay, Cam and the label as a whole. Jim Jones also was also a huge part of the Jigga vs. Dipset era. The beef between Cam and Jay started way before their days at Roc-A-Fella, but most notably, it kicked off in 2000, shortly after Hov stabbed Cam’s label head Lance “Un” Rivera. That same year, Cam’ron released his second LP S.D.E. which featured a cameo from Destiny’s Child on the song “Do It Again.” It also featured the song “Let Me Know,” which included numerous subliminal shots at Hov: “You rap about money, man, who are you anyway?” “When the f— we start bouncin’?”. Fast forward to 2002, Cam signs to the Roc and even does a song with Jay, “Welcome To New York City,” — but then ish hit the fan. While Jay-Z was away on vacation, Jim Jones announces that Cam’ron has been made a Vice President at Roc-A-Fella. Needless to say, Hov wasn’t too thrilled with the direction the label was headed in. Fast forward again to 2004, Jay-Z, Dame and Biggs sell their 50% interest in Roc-A-Fella to Def Jam and is made President of Def Jam. However, Cam, Jim and the rest of Dipset stayed loyal to Dame. For several year following the split, Dipset released several tracks dissing Jay-Z, with Cam even alleging that Hov blocked him from taking the VP job at Roc-A-Fella. He also claims that a gunman who shot him in Washington, DC one year earlier in a botched carjacking threw up the ROC’s diamond hand signal. Hov finally clapped back in 2006 with his track “Dig A Hole,” rapping: “N—-s are like why don’t you get at old boy/Why kill the puppet it leaves Gapeto alive/Why not wait to catch them all together this way you dig one big hole one time.” Dame also said at the time that the beef reallys started in 2001 when Jay-Z bought the “Izzo” beat from Kanye West after hearing him play it for Cam in the studio. By 2010, the beef was still going on, at least on Cam’ron and Jim’s side. But it was clear that Hov was done with the child’s play. Now here we are in 2019 — Jay-Z does his B-sides show in New York City where it all began, and brings out both Cam’ron and Jim Jones to rock the stage with him. I can't believe my eyes, Jay Z brought out @Mr_Camron at the B Sides 2 concert. pic.twitter.com/ewyxuoviAy — Nigel D. (@NigelDPresents) April 27, 2019 So anytime you need a lesson in forgiveness, just think — What Would Jay-Z Do?

‘The Hangover’ Actor Dies From Apparent Suicide

Spike Lee Rips Green Book, Gets Ripped by Donald Trump

Spike Lee had himself quite the eventful Sunday night. First, the veteran director won Best Adapted Screenplay at the 2019 Academy Awards for helping to write BlacKKKlansmen. Incredibly, this was Lee’s first-ever Oscars victory and it was most definitely overdue, according to most viewers. But not according to one rather powerful viewer. A few hours after Lee delivered a passionate acceptance speech that touched on American history and slavery, President Donald Trump Tweeted his disapproval of Lee’s words. Let’s take a look at Lee’s full speech before trying to deciper which parts the President took issue with, shall we? Here it is: The word today is “irony.” The date, the 24th. The month, February, which also happens to be the shortest month of the year, which also happens to be Black History month. The year, 2019. The year, 1619. History. Her story. 1619. 2019. 400 years. Four hundred years. Our ancestors were stolen from Mother Africa and bought to Jamestown, Virginia, enslaved. Our ancestors worked the land from can’t see in the morning to can’t see at night. My grandmother, [inaudible], who lived to be 100 years young, who was a Spelman College graduate even though her mother was a slave. My grandmother who saved 50 years of Social Security checks to put her first grandchild — she called me Spikie-poo — she put me through Morehouse College and N.Y.U. grad film. N.Y.U.! Before the world tonight, I give praise to our ancestors who have built this country into what it is today along with the genocide of its native people. We all connect with our ancestors. We will have love and wisdom regained, we will regain our humanity. It will be a powerful moment. The 2020 presidential election is around the corner. Let’s all mobilize. Let’s all be on the right side of history. Make the moral choice between love versus hate. Let’s do the right thing! You know I had to get that in there. Pretty well said, right? WRONG, responded Trump! Tweeted the totally secure Commander-in-Chief this morning: Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres! We’ll let readers determine whether Trump has a point, but we will say this: He likely has done more for African-American than the Presidents who actually owned slaves. We’ll give him that much. Elsewhere last night, Lee made headlines for actually getting up and nearly fleeing the scene when Green Book was announced a Best Picture. Talk about a memorable Oscars moment ! According to multiple witnesses, Lee got out of his seat and walked to the back of the auditorium after Green Book won the evening’s top prize, and he later explained why. “I thought it was courtside at the Garden, and the ref made a bad call. Courtside,” the die-hard New York Knicks fan said, prior to pivoting and joking: “The world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden. Knicks coming back next year.” That’s debatable… View Slideshow: 2019 Oscars Red Carpet: Who Wore It Craziest? (The Answer is #19) … as are some of the so-called facts behind the Green Book script. The movie centers on Dr. Don Shirley (Oscar winner Mahershala Ali), a world-class African-American pianist who embarks on a concert tour of the Deep South in 1962 along with his driver and bodyguard, Tony Lip (Viggo Mortensen). The film was co-written by a member of Lip’s family and has come under fire for essentially white-washing history. Dr. Shirley’s brother, Maurice, has called the flick a “symphony of lies.” Moreover, Mortensen used the N-Word while doing press for Green Book and director Pete Farrelly apologized for having exposed himself years ago while on the set of his 1998 romantic comedy There’s Something About Mary.
