One Sweet Yeehaw: Mariah Carey Congratulates Lil Nas X After “Old Town Road” Breaks Her Record With 17 Weeks At No. 1

Source: Splash News / Splash News Mariah Carey Shows Lil Nas X Some Love After “Old Town Road” Breaks Record With 17 Weeks At No. 1 It’s official. Lil Nas X   has made history, smashing a much coveted Billboard record . His hit “Old Town Road” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus has officially spent 17 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This means that Lil Nas has officially beat the record set by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men with their timeless 1995 hit “One Sweet Day,” AND he beat the record matched by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee ‘s “Despacito” featuring Justin Bieber from 2017. Both these tracks spent 16 weeks at number one, but now the Yeehaw Agenda has taken over! Times have changed since “One Sweet Day” set the record. Now Billboard takes into account radio airplay and digital sales data when charting songs. So clearly, radio and the online world is still giddied up for young Nas X. It doesn’t hurt that he’s released various remixes of “Old Town Road,” which can helps his chances at spending an 18th week at No. 1. Carey congratulated Lil Nas via Twitter and Instagram along with a Photoshop-perfect picture of her passing a torch to Lil Nas: “ Sending love & congrats to @LilNasX on breaking one of the longest running records in music history! We’ve been blessed to hold this record with a song that means a great deal to @BoyzIIMen and myself and has touched so many.

Source: Gregg DeGuire / Getty Nipsey Hussle decided to finally set the record straight about his relationship to Lauren London.  He’s saying they aren’t engaged…even though they allegedly just did an engagement photo shoot and we’ve heard him refer to her as his wife before. Hmmm I’m not sure I’m buying this one… via: TheYBF TMZ reported people from the GQ production team spilled tea that Nipsey and Lauren are already engaged, but they want to keep it underwraps. It’s reported the photos the couple snapped on Saturday were “definitely  engagement photos .” Well, Nispey says otherwise. (Lauren said a few weeks ago as well they’re not engaged when a post of hers sparked confusion.) He hopped on Twitter to announce there’s no wedding bells (at least not yet) READ MORE

5 Realizations When You Learn An Egg Is The Most Liked Pic On Instagram EVER

Visit link:

Source: Banar Fil Ardhi / EyeEm / Getty When a picture of an egg gets over 40 million likes on Instagram, one could start to reflect on the meaning of life. Of course, I’m talking about the curvaceous brown item that was determined to break an Instagram record this month. If you haven’t been up to speed, an account with the IG handle @world_record_egg  was started in early January and it appears its sole purpose was to top a record set by Kylie Jenner . According to Time , back in 2018, she set the record for the most liked Instagram post when she posted a picture of her newborn daughter Stormi in February. The picture racked up over 18 million likes, making Kylie a world record holder. But one audacious egg had other plans. The account @world_record_egg posted a picture of a basic brown egg on January 4 with the caption, “Let’s set a world record together and get the most liked post on Instagram. Beating the current world record held by Kylie Jenner (18 million)! We got this.”   The Internet show up and showed out. According to The New York Times , by Sunday, January 13,  the egg photo had surpassed Kylie’s record and as of Tuesday, January 15, the photo has been liked over 42 MILLION TIMES. Kylie was mad. She jokingly posted a clip of herself cracking a brown egg on IG.   According to Time , the egg is the first non-human to break into Instagram’s top 20 most popular posts. The breakfast item has even inspired imitators, with a non-related Twitter account called  @ egg_rt_record  trying to break the record for most retweets ever (the current record holder is Yusaku Maezawa who has over 5 million retweets). Then, of course, the IG egg also inspired some parodies… famous album covers but with the world record instagram egg pic.twitter.com/XujK8gxFIw — Pigeons & Planes (@PigsAndPlans) January 14, 2019   A lot of existential conclusions can be made from this popular egg. Hit the next pages to peep five realizations you might have when an edible object gets more likes than you on Instagram.

Jenelle Evans Defends Husband, Claims Everything is Peachy Keen

Jenelle Evans would like to set the record straight. The Teen Mom 2 star was rushed to the hospital a few days ago after getting into some kind of altercation with husband David Eason. This much is not up for debate. But what actually transpired between the couple? Did Eason really attack Evans, as Jenelle herself seemed to admit to on a 911 call ? Evans has spoken to E! News about the incident and done the best she can to explain where things stand between her and Eason. Scroll down to see what she has to say.. 1. How Did This Latest Controversy Start? On Saturday, October 13, Jenelle was taken to the hospital. This is not in dispute. The chief of 911 operations for Columbus County, North Carolina has said two police officers responded to a 911 call placed from the home of Evans and her husband David Eason. 2. What Else Do We Know About This Call? It was placed by a female just before 10 p.m. and was “called in as an assault,” the chief said for the record. An ambulance was also requested but later canceled. 3. Was Eason Involved? No, not according to a rep for Evans, who told People Magazine that the veteran MTV star “had friends over Saturday night and they had a bonfire on her property. Jenelle ended up tripping and falling by the fire.” 4. Oh… Really?!? This story seemed fishy from the beginning. To pretty much everyone. 5. Nothing to See Here… Except Hotness! Eason shared this photo of Jenelle shortly after the incident, including with it a tawdry caption and making it seem like all was fine between the couple. 6. But Here’s the Thing: Jenelle called 911. The call is on tape. TMZ obtained a copy. And we know what she at least said to the dispatcher. View Slideshow

Doug Jones Will Reportedly Appoint An All-White Senior Staff

  D oug Jones made history in Alabama last week, but things are already looking shaky for the folks who supported him. As we reported, on a Sunday interview with CNN, the Senator-elect from Alabama said that people should “move on” from Donald Trump ‘s sexual assault allegations. The comment was bizarre, considering part of the reason he won in Alabama was due to people not wanting a pedophile in the U.S. Senate. Imagine if voters “moved on” from Roy Moore’s sexual misconduct accusations and decided to focus on “real issues.” See below: Sen.-elect Doug Jones of Alabama doesn’t join the several Senate Democrats calling for President Trump to step down: “I think we need to move on and not get distracted by those issues … I don’t think the President ought to resign right now” #CNNSOTU https://t.co/EAY9mhL1QI — CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) December 17, 2017 Now, it appears to have gotten even worse. Writer and activist Shaun King is reporting Jones will appoint an all-White senior staff in Alabama because he feels “burdened.” See the tweet below: Have now had a few people tell me that they believe Doug Jones, who was propelled to victory by nearly unanimous Black support, is likely to appoint an all-white Senior Staff. He “feels burdened” to appeal to conservatives in Alabama, they say. — Shaun King (@ShaunKing) December 21, 2017 Let’s hope this isn’t true, especially considering the only reason Doug Jones won was because of the Black vote. If he wants to represent his constituents, he should have a diverse senior cabinet. Twitter clearly wasn’t here for it: Doug Jones Remember RE-ELECTION is going to come! There are qualified African Americans in Alabama! — valerie282 (@valerie282) December 21, 2017 Dear Doug Jones…. Sincerely, Black community !! pic.twitter.com/zMkxrGQxDu — coopcon (@conniecooper558) December 21, 2017 Doug Jones also wouldn’t speak out against Trump’s sexual harassment. Still better than Moore, But hire minorities, please! — Karen Wolsey (@karenewolsey) December 21, 2017 You know who feels burdened…?!? #DougJones — Samantha (@ShaakTi33) December 21, 2017 And how can Doug Jones feel burdened already! He hasn’t done a damn thing YET! Damn! Hes tired already? Oh Lord! — Deanne Price (@hulahamom) December 21, 2017 All eyes are on you, Mr. Jones.
