Where Is Kylie Jenner? Blac Chyna Tells Tyga She’s Had A Change Of Heart!

Blac Chyna Forgives Tyga Hacked or nah ??? Just when we thought things between Blac Chyna and Tyga couldn’t get any uglier the pair seem to have worked out their differences. On Friday Chyna tweeted that she’d forgiven her baby daddy and was over the drama… Wonder why she didn’t @ him though? Meanwhile, although Tyga has not responded on social media he did post this pic of King Cairo hanging out with Breezy’s daughter Royalty: Right around the time that Chyna posted this King selfie Now y’all know we’re glad Chyna and Tyga appear to be back to peacefully co-parenting BUT we can’t help but wonder if Kylie being out of town might be helping this reconciliation along. What do you guys think? Hit the flip for more videos of King and Tyga Instagram/WENN

Spike Lee Claps Back At “Haters” Who Aren’t Feeling The “Chiraq” Title Of His New Flick

Spike Lee Defends Controversial “Chiraq” Movie Title Spike Lee is Ray Charles to the critiques… Via HuffingtonPost Movie director Spike Lee, known for films that deal frankly with racial issues, appeared in Chicago on Thursday to defend his planned movie about the city, after its reported title, “Chiraq,” was criticized by local politicians. Speaking at a South Side church and surrounded by African-American mothers carrying pictures of children killed in street violence, Lee said artists hold up a mirror to society and are not afraid to tell the truth. “We have to stop the madness,” Lee said. “This is insane.” He said people who know nothing about it have been expressing opinions about the film. Lee referred to the movie’s “so-called title,” but did not say if “Chiraq” would be the title and did not take questions. “Chiraq” is street slang that compares the nation’s third largest city to the war zones of the Middle East. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, U.S. Senator Dick Durbin, and local alderman Anthony Beale have expressed concern over the title, with Beale calling it “insulting.” Chicago recorded 407 murders in 2014, far ahead of the 328 recorded in the larger city of New York. Chicago has long fought a reputation for violence, enhanced by the mythology surrounding Prohibition-era gangster Al Capone. Many criticized Spike for negatively affecting Chicago’s tourism by releasing a film with such an intimidating title. Lee said he was not concerned about Chicago politics or tourism. “This is not about Chicago losing business,” Lee said. Referring to the grieving mothers around him, Lee said, “No one wants to be a member of this club right here.” Lee cited news reports that 14 people had been shot in the city the day before, with three killed. How do you feel about the term “Chiraq”? Is it the “reflection of society” as Spike claims, or is it a pejorative term for a city that has the blood of black people running in the streets?
