As you likely know by now, Jussie Smollett has been the victim of a vicious assault. The Empire actor was walking in Chicago early Tuesday morning when two men brutally attacked him for being African-American and for being gay. Each detail that comes out about the incident is more horrifying than the one before. What's the latest on the crime, the investigation and the status of Jussie Smollett? We'll do our best to keep the following summation up to date, as we bring readers up to speed on all that has transpired so far — and as we pray both the well-being of Smollett and our country as a whole. 1. When Did the Attack Take Place? Around 2 a.m. on the streets of Chicago, as Jussie Smollett was walking to Subway to get a bite to eat after he arrived in the Windy City for work. 2. What Preempted the attack? Someone yelled out to Smollet, “Aren’t you that f***ot ‘Empire’ n*****?” as he was on his way to Subway. 3. Jesus. And From there? The two men — both white and donning ski masks — brutally attacked the actor as he fought back — but they beat fractured a rib and left his face bloody. 4. This Was a Hate Crime They also put a rope around his neck, poured some kind of substance on him (believed to be bleach) on him and as screamed “This is MAGA country” as they left. 5. The Actor Came Out on Ellen He very casually and candidly talked about his sexuality with Ellen DeGeneres in March of 2015 6. What is His Physical Status Now? Smollett got himself to Northwestern Memorial, where he was treated and then discharged later Tuesday morning. View Slideshow
Last week, we described Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club as “the kind of trainwreck it’s easy to look away from.” That may sound hyperbolic, but the show’s first episode was a mess in every sense of the word. The biggest complaint among viewers was that the premiere episode had very little to do with Lindsay at all. In fact, it seemed that her name had been used as a hook to help MTV sell Real World: Mykonos to an audience that’s increasingly uninterested in the “sweaty co-eds sexually harass one another” subgenre of reality television. When Lindsay did appear on camera (usually filmed in extreme soft-focus of course), she flounced onto the scene to pass judgment on young people who’s misbehavior paled in comparison to hers at the same age. Her goal in appearing on the show (in addition to drawing a much-needed paycheck, of course) seemed to be twofold: It provided a venue for both advertising her re-invention to the world (Did you know Lindsay meditates twice a day now? Because she’ll happily tell you all about it.), and for further re-inventing herself as a self-described “boss bitch” in the style of Lisa Vanderpump. Of course, Lisa is 26 years Lindsay’s senior, and with several decades’ experience in the restaurant industry, she’s much better-equipped to handle an unruly staff of wannabe models. This vast discrepancy of experience and ability was on full display Tuesday night, as Lindsay discovered the hard way that jotting down a bunch of meaningless slogans and boasting that she’s friends with Oprah would not be enough to help her earn the respect of her young staff. Last week, Lindsay’s lackey Panos berated a female employee for doing exactly what she was told to do (party with guests, get them to spend money), while simultaneously praising a male employee, Brent, for publicly making out with a female customer at what appeared to be about 2 in the afternoon. This week, Lindsay was shocked when Brent refused to sensuously wipe the feet of an elderly male guest. “The fact Brent has the audacity to just walk away, is this really happening?” said Lohan. “This is not the Brent Show, this is Lindsay Lohan. He doesn’t get to do that.” Here’s the thing — when you encourage your employees to incorporate their sexuality into their job responsibilities (as Lindsay and Panos did when they praised Brent for trying to f–k a customer), you can’t be surprised when they’re uninterested in tasks that don’t fit with their proclivities. So Lindsay and Panos were wrong to come down on Brent for not wanting to wipe a stranger’s feet, as he was never told that such a task would be among his job responsibilities. That said, dude fully deserves to be sent packing for what happened next. He previously expressed interest in housemate Sara, but she appears to be more interested in Billy, a co-worker who seems to have been silently shoehorned into the cast just in time for the second episode (which appears to take place several weeks after the first). Feeling jilted, Brent let loose with the following tirade: “We are in a house of all ugly girls, they’re all ugly. I’m surrounded by 2s, you’re a 5, maybe a 6, but in the house you’re a 10 because there’s no one else to look at. We’re going to gay clubs, we’re going to clubs with six old men and I needed to nut. “The fact that Sara has the power is a joke. I don’t even think Sara is that attractive. Honey, if you were coming to Vegas, I wouldn’t look twice to you. Maybe 7 pounds less, I’d talk to her. Now I feel like Sara’s gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe that won’t go away.” Thankfully, the cast responded by dousing Brent in booze, but the fact that he wasn’t immediately sent packing speaks volumes about the culture of this show and the utter lack of f–ks Lindsay has for the integrity of her latest business venture. Oh, and during all of this, Lindsay was hosting a swanky dinner party, during which a guest compared her to Martha Stewart. (Ed. note: LOLOLOLOL!) This prompted Lindsay to remark, “I’m not Martha Stewart, I’ve already been to jail.” Ugh. Is Lindsay, 1. still talking about that time she was briefly locked up ten years? and 2. unaware that Martha has been to prison. We can’t with this show.

Jenelle Evans … Well, bless her heart, she isn’t the brightest crayon in the box, is she? She makes terrible decisions almost exclusively, and no one on earth has time to do a complete rundown of those. But recently, she’s been reigniting her feud with Kailyn Lowry … literally, even. We’ll get into the fire stuff in a minute, but just for fun, let’s review how we got to this point, OK? See, Jenelle and Kailyn used to be friends back in the early days of Teen Mom 2. That ended several years ago when Kailyn bailed Jenelle out of jail — Jenelle promised she’d pay her back, and she never did. This was when they weren’t making much at all on the show, so the money Kailyn spent was a pretty big deal. In a recent interview, Kail revealed that she was there for her former friend in many ways back then, and that once she even cared for her when she was “strung out.” She also said that Jenelle blames her for not being close with the rest of the cast, when in fact she isolated herself from everyone. It’s definitely a complicated situation, and it only got more complicated when Kailyn expressed concern after Jenelle’s 911 call in which she claimed David had abused her. Since then, Jenelle has been especially cruel, even saying that perhaps they have problems getting along because Kailyn is “confused about her sexuality.” Earlier this month, Kailyn tried to smooth things over by sending Jenelle a PR package of her new haircare line , Pothead Haircare. Jenelle did not appreciate the gesture. Yesterday, she shared a video on Instagram that showed her pouring gasoline all over the products and setting them on fire . “Hey Kail,” she said, standing in her yard and holding a propane torch. “This is to your peace offering.” It was all very embarrassing. Jenelle Evans to Kailyn Lowry: Your Hair Products SUCK! In her caption, she wrote that Kailyn has been “super jealous and envious of all us girls on the show,” and that she’s been “a mean ass person” towards her. “You apologize on/off, claim I need to be apologizing sometimes, then talk sh-t constantly about me and my husband to the tabloids?!” “THEN you had the balls to send me a PEACE GATHERING GIFT?!” she asked, ensuring that “peace gathering gift” will be a beloved phrase in the Teen Mom lexicon for years to come. “Don’t send me gifts and then go talk sh-t AGAIN!!!” she told her. “Wow, you’re an idiot cuz this is what I do for gifts sent from fake ass bitches like you.” She finished with “Stay out of my life, go worry about your own.” It’s like she really thought this would make her seem cool and edgy when really it’s just immature and sad. Kailyn even benefited from it by announcing a flash sale — 15% off orders if you used the code “LIT” — and she sold tons and tons of products. And she may be benefiting even more, if she’s a fan of karma. Because according to Jenelle’s local police officials, what she did was illegal . As North Carolina law states, “it is always illegal to burn trash and other non-vegetative materials.” Meanwhile, leaves, branches, and things like that can be burned “under certain conditions.” While the whole selling point of Kailyn’s products is that they contain hemp, we doubt Jenelle could use that to get out of trouble with this one. And what’s the penalty for burning things you’re not allowed to burn? Fines up to $25,000. For some reason, Jenelle and David both seem to think that since they own their property, laws don’t apply to them there. That they can do anything they want with no repercussions as long as it’s on their land. It’s a really weird outlook to have, and obviously that’s not the way the law works. Of course, Jenelle has managed to be Jenelle for years and years without experiencing any real consequences, so it seems unlikely that anything will come of her latest dumb move. But if it did, if she actually had to pay $25,000 for trying to get back at Kailyn?

Kehlani Talks Queerness And Motherhood With Nylon Kehlani shocked her fans and the industry when she popped up pregnant about a month ago . The singer has received all sorts of head-scratches and commentary since then, largely because her sexuality has been so publicly fluid…and nobody even realized she had a man at the time. As Kehlani covers this month’s issue of NYLON Magazine (alongside a spread she did just one day before announcing her pregnancy with no one on set even realizing she was knocked up), she gets into all the energy she’s received surrounding her romantic interests and taps into the excitement of new motherhood. I’ve gotten everything from “I thought she was a lesbian” to “she was using queerness to promote her career, then went and betrayed us with a man” to “her baby father is just a sperm donor.” One, I never identified as a lesbian. I’ve always been pansexual. My first mixtape included songs about males, and songs about women. My first album had songs about a nonbinary ex, an intersex ex, and male/female exes. I don’t always make it a point to identify pronouns in the music because that isn’t the focal point. I think what steered everyone in the direction of categorizing my sexuality (which is still really narrow-minded) was my song “Honey,” and a couple of the features I’d done after. Although she doesn’t want to define her sexuality in any concrete terms to make others comfortable, she’s VERY clear on what motherhood means to her and what it should mean for other young people pursuing parenthood. My overall dreams and goals for my life are to love to the highest limits one can experience love. The highest forms of happiness, and graciousness. I believe creating life is one of the highest forms of love! I’m accomplishing one of my biggest goals as we speak. Make sure this is what you want for unselfish reasons. It’s unfair to bring a child in the world with the burden and unspoken task of mending you, a relationship, or improving your happiness. Although a child will usually naturally bring a deeper meaning of happiness into your life, that isn’t the sole reason for that child’s existence. This is about them. She’s also a big proponent for all-natural birth. Given the plight Black women face when dealing with medical professionals , she believes it’s important to take control of your own childbirth process. People, especially black women, are dying at very high rates from hospital complications and medical malpractice (or just f*cking blatant racism). People have been giving birth naturally for ages, obviously, way before hospitals existed. Way before machinery, way before all these procedures. Your uterus, and vagina, are built and designed for birth. You deserve to be in charge of your birth, to be comfortable and listened to, not rushed or prodded at. You deserve to feel 100 percent at peace with full support, in the driver’s seat and not the backseat. This is your body, your baby, your ceremony. Kehlani certainly sounds assured about her path as a mother. Do you agree with her stance on all natural birth? Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic/Natt Lim/Getty Images for Coachella
Our girl Sarah Hyland, who has some freakish genetic disorder that made her look 12 until she was 30, and you all liked that about her, because you’re fucking perverts….posted up her #BelieveAllWomen (a terrifying concept since some women are vindictive and evil) story the other day that went a little something like …all dudes are perverts trying to get in. The 27-year-old actor shared her horrifying ordeal in a Twitter post, using the hashtag #whyididntreport #metoo #believeallwomen “He was a friend. It was New Year’s Eve my senior year of high school. Everyone was drunk. He broke into the bathroom I was in, I hoped it was a dream but my ripped tights in the morning proved otherwise. I thought no one would believe me. I didn’t want to be called dramatic. After all, I didn’t say no. Shock can do that to a person,” I mean…I am sure every single woman in the world has a story like this, and I am sure every single woman in the world is sharing their stories like this, I’ve been out in public, I’ve see how drunk people act, people get aggressive, people are predators, men are perverts…..which is why she should carry a weapon, to shoot fuckers in the face when they get too close, even though that would go against their anti-gun-law politics, even if it would solve their anti-rape politics… I guess her sexual assault, and sexualization at a young age on TV, because men are perverts, is why she’s dating a homosexual dude who is clearly the sensitive type who looks like he was in a boyband or listened to boy bands and had frosted tipped hair at least once in his life. A dude who has the vibe of all the Disney Kids in LA trying to make it…who saw an opportunity to be straight for pay…as dating Sarah Hyland is great marketing, plus they don’t even have to fuck..cuz she’s all broken from her disease… It’s a gay best friend situation, he’s supporting and loving, and helps the sad victim of abuse get through the whole being a broken child star thing… All while the lack of sex is making her far weirder, and more of an exhibitionist, tits out, reclaiming her sexuality, that was taken from her in high school, and that she never had, except maybe to a bunch of you pervert weridos….

SplashNews.com Jada Pinkett Smith Talks About Addictions With Her Mom, Family Friend August Alsina And Sister-In-Law Ashley Jada Pinkett Smith is sure to have people talking AGAIN with the latest episode of her Facebook show “Red Table Talk.” This time around Jada talks addiction with her mom Adrienne Banfield-Norris, sister-in-law Ashley Marie and family friend August Alsina. In the very serious episode, the four discuss Jada’s mom’s struggle with heroin (she’s celebrating 27 years clean and sober) as well as Ashley’s dependence on marijuana and August’s percocet addiction. But Jada doesn’t hold back either and reveals she’s had addictions of her own. “My sort of addictions jump. They jump around,” she said. “When I was younger, I definitely think I had a sex addiction of some kind, yes, that everything could be fixed by sex. You know what I’m saying?” Jada says she’s also had periods where she was addicted to the gym and may have even had a drinking problem at one point. “I remember reaching a rock bottom that time I was in the house by myself and I had those two bottles of wine and was going for the third bottle,” she recalled. “And I was like, ‘Now hold up. You’re in the this house by yourself going onto your third bottle of wine? You might have a problem.’” Jada says she managed her issues on her own. “So I went cold turkey. That’s the thing about me: I can go cold turkey. I am a binger, and I always have to watch myself and I can just get obsessed with things. It’s not what you’re doing but how you’re with it. Why you’re doing it. It’s the behavior that’s attached to it because if you want to have a lot of sex, that’s great, but why are you having all that sex? That’s what you’ve got to look at.” Does any of this surprise you? Jada has been really open about her sexuality in the past — is this new info any more startling than the “open marriage” rumors that have followed her and Will for years. August Alsina posted about his appearance as well. He looks really healthy in the clip and we’re glad to see him facing his demons head on. Wishing him the best in his journey to sobriety!

Hayley Kiyoko is some dyke looking hipster girl that you’d expect is an artist, gender fluid, trans, pan sexual, feminist, or whatever… Apparently people are calling her the “Lesbian Jesus”…..and since my name is Jesus, I think it’s safe to assume they mean the other Jesus, not some mexican pervert. I guess she’s a singer, she’s 27, she’s an it girl, here to notice and rememebr ,talking to a generation of people…all with her nipples out… I don’t bye into anything that I am fed, I feel it is all bullshit storylines designed to sell records, and make people rich as fuck, so that they can live the good life with their egos massaged…whether it’s with this lesbian, or anyone really, it doesn’t even have to be about her sexuality, but they make it about her sexuality to sell fucking nonsense to us, when no one cares what she shoves into her vagina or what gender the person shoving it in her vagina is…but they for some reason want us all to know…pretending it is empowering not shameless…like these nipples exposed in some hipster trash magazine.
Source: Peter Bischoff / Getty BET has found its Whitney Houston for The Bobby Brown Story ! How could BET possibly tell the Bobby Brown story without even a mention of Whitney? They couldn’t. Deadline.com reports that the network has finally filled the role, and Rosewood star Gabrielle Dennis is set to play Whitney. Bobby and Whitney had a tumultuous relationship that was high on drama. They got married in 1992 and welcomed a daughter, Bobbi Kristina, in 1993. The pair later split up and divorced in 2007. There’s no word on whether Bobbi Kristina will be included in The Bobby Brown Story. Gabrielle is the last star to join the cast. Last week, it was announced that Mekhi Phifer, Lil Rel Howrey, and Lance Gross had all been cast in the two-part TV event.

Source: Earl Gibson III / Getty Love and Hip-Hop New York Season 8 finally comes to a conclusion with the second part of the reunion special. Tonight’s episode starts with Snoop running up on Lames James R. Remember, he took shots at her sexuality, which could be a trigger. That is something that one might run up on someone for but in a twist of events, it turned out that Snoop was actually just bluffing. She pretended that she was going to run up on him but siiiiiike! She turned a messed up moment into something funny. Lames James R is still foul though. via GIPHY Anais is a hot mess and will always be a hot mess. She even says that she is who she is and that’s what she’s always gonna be. She’s probably one of the least delusional people on the franchise. via GIPHY And then, we get a surprise! There was archived footage of Mariahlynn and Safaree cupcaking in a hot tub! Yup. Remember when Mariahlynn told Dreamdoll that she was going to steal Safaree from her? Welp, she tried. They got steamy in the hot tub, but according to the guilty parties involved, it didn’t go beyond a kiss. Meanwhile, Dreamdoll couldn’t care less, she describes this as “Safaree being Safare” and JuJu claims that she couldn’t care less, but you can see in her face that she’s a little hurt. However, she also said this this is exactly why she can’t take Safaree seriously as a love interest. And we had such high hopes for those two. via GIPHY Finally, Bri clarifies the temper tantrum she threw when her verse wasn’t on the “Paradise” remix. So, what had really happened was that Jaquae was doing the mixing. Jaquae said he never got Bri’s verse. Bri said she did send the verse so maybe it went to his spam box. In hindsight, Bri realizes it was just miscommunication, but she thought she got played given that Kiyanne and Jaquae were a couple. Speaking of the latter, it seems like they’re still going hard in the paint. And that’s a wrap for season eight of Love and Hip-Hop New York.” Hopefully, next season will be a little more interesting.
