Drake Wants A Serious Commitment With Rihanna Drizzy and RihRih have been going strong and steady ever since Aubrey professed his persistent love for the Bajan songstress at the 2016 Video Music Awards . But according to sources close to the duo, Drake isn’t just talk when it comes to Rih — he really wants to lock her down and make things official with her . To the point of…ring shopping? Via E!online : A source tells E! News that the inseparable duo, who was most recently seen at a club in Miami after one of his concerts earlier this week, “want to make this work this time with each other.” “Drake is very committed to Rihanna,” our insider dished to us. “They are both mature and ready to commit now. Drake loves Rihanna so much and if it was up to him, he would marry her tomorrow.” It looks like this is a classic case of that old adage: absence makes the heart grow fonder. Our source added, “Things are different this time between them for the better.” And after a whirlwind week for what fans are now dubbing Aubrih—which included a special MTV VMA’s shout-out, nights partying side-by-side and even a very special tattoo—there’s no denying that things are as serious as they’ve ever been for the musicians. Welp…RihRih seems to bore just as easily as Drake seems to simp. These two are extremely cute together though and it actually looks like they really like one another…but time will tell if Drake becomes more than just another n***a on the hit list… Splash/WENN/AKM-GSI
Pamela Anderson coming out against porn is a bit like Justin Bieber coming out against shirtless photos. Or Chris Brown coming out against violence toward women. Or Milo Yiannopoulos coming out against trolling strangers on the Internet. You get the point. But here’s why we made those hilarious comparisons: Because Pamela Anderson has come out against porn! Typically, when the words “Pamela Anderson” and “come” are in the same sentence, it’s in relation to the star’s active participation in the world of pornography. But not this time around. The busty 49-year old made news on Friday by teaming up with Rabbi Schmuley Boteach to write an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal that warns about the many “addictive dangers of pornography.” Yes, that bears repeating: Pamela Anderson and a rabbit have written an article together in which they explain the dangerous of watching adult movies. In the piece, Anderson and Boteach argue that porn has a “corrosive effect on a man’s soul and on his ability to function as a husband, and by extension, as father.” They continue: “This is a public hazard of unprecedented seriousness given how freely available, anonymously accessible and easily disseminated pornography is nowadays. “How many families will suffer? How many marriages will implode? How many talented men will scrap their most important relationships and careers for a brief onanistic thrill?” The opinion-based article was published mere days after former Congressman Anthony Weiner was caught in his third sexting scandal. As a result, wife, Huma Abedin – one of Hillary Clinton’s closest friends and aides – announced that she is separating from her husband of six years . We only bring this up because Anderson did so. Reads an excerpt of the op-ed: “If anyone still doubted the devastation that porn addiction wreaks on those closest to the addict, behold the now-shattered marriage of Mr. Weiner and Huma Abedin, a breakup that she initiated … in shock at the disgraced ex-congressman’s inclusion of their 4-year-old son in one lewd photo that he sent to a near-stranger.” That’s true. Weiner really did share a photo with some woman online of himself in bed, in his underwear, with an erection… lying next to his child. View Slideshow: 9 Surprising Sex Tape Stars: It’s Not Just Kim! Of course, arguing that a porn ADDICTION can be dangerous is very different than arguing that merely watching porn sometimes can be dangerous. An addiction to anything is bad for you. The actress and the religious figure went on to warn that kids raised in the current digital environment will “become adults inured to intimacy and in need of even greater graphic stimulation. “They are the crack babies of porn.” What can society do about this problem? “We must educate ourselves and our children to understand that porn is for losers – a boring, wasteful and dead-end outlet for people too lazy to rep the ample rewards of healthy sexuality.” The article is noteworthy in general because Anderson made a sex tape in 1995 with then-husband Tommy Lee. She has also graced the cover of Playboy 14 times. She even covered the magazine’s final nude issue in January/February of this year. Does this make Anderson a hypocrite? Or is she saying she’s seen the error of her many naked ways? And where do we draw the line? Anderson is known for wearing VERY low-cut dresses or blouses. Is drawing attention to one’s breasts part of the problem? Isn’t that also putting sexuality out there for kids to see? We’d be curious to see Pamela’s take on this question.
Knife-Wielding Clown Chases Ohip Teenager From Bus Stop Earlier this week we reported on an incident in South Carolina where a clown was reportedly stalking children from the woods near an apartment building playground. Welp, according to NBCNews , South Carolina isn’t the only place with a killer clown problem… There has been another creepy clown encounter — this time in Columbus, Ohio. A 14-year-old boy heading to a school bus stop Tuesday morning told police he was chased by a black-clad man armed with a knife — and wearing a clown mask, police said. “The victim was able to get away from him by throwing a rock at him,” said police spokeswoman Denise Alex-Bouzounis, who added that police are now canvassing the area in search of the suspect and keeping a close eye on the bus stop in north Columbus near where the incident occurred. “We don’t know whether this was a prank or not, but we are taking it seriously,” she said. The alleged attack on the teenager came as police down in South Carolina were investigating multiple reports of menacing clowns allegedly trying to lure children to an abandoned house in the woods.

Stevie J Is Going To Jail Over $1.1 Million Unpaid Child Support Case Stevie J is headed to jail next week! We EXCLUSIVELY reported back in May that the “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” star – who was born Steven Jordan was battling a seven figure sum in back support for his son, now 18, and daughter, 17. According to court papers obtained by BOSSIP, Stevie was supposed to pay $8,557 a month for the kids, and as of 2014, owed $1,107,412. The reality star had unsuccessfully tried to apply for “deferred prosecution,” where he’d essentially get off in exchange for him agreeing to certain terms from the government. But lawyers for the feds revealed that the government rejected Stevie’s request, and a judge scheduled it for trial in December. And Stevie J said he was none too pleased with the news. “It went how it went,” he told BOSSIP. “I got some things up my sleeve too. This case is bull***t.” Accompanied by his son, Lil Stevie, and a woman believed to be Lil Stevie’s mother, Stevie J told BOSSIP outside court that he’s a doting dad who’d just spent the weekend with his children enjoying the Bad Boy Reunion concert in Brooklyn. Stevie J now reveals that he will be serving jail-time for the unpaid child support case: The reality star writes: Not playing no games. No fakes no phonies real niggas only.

It has been proven in a court of law that Jared Fogle participated in a child pornography ring. A little over a year ago, in July of 2015, the former Subway spokesman had his home raided by federal agents, with evidence eventually leading to 14 charges of sex solicitation from minors. In legal documents, Fogle was accused of traveling between Indiana and New York City in order to pay for sex with a multitude of teenage girls between 2010 and 2013. In November, Fogle was sentenced to 15 years in prison , with his attorneys trying to argue (in his favor, mind you) that Fogle was only guilty of “mild pedophilia.” That may be the biggest oxymoron since the term “plastic silverware” or “clothed Kim Kardashian.” In other words: Jared Fogle is a terrible human being. There is no denying this fact. Yet, incredibly, Jared Fogle managed to plummet to a new low this week. RUN, Miss Piggy and Kermit! Run away as far from Fogle as you can! Fogle has actually gone ahead and filed a federal complaint against the parents of an alleged victim who sued the ex-Subway pitchman after he supposedly received secret recordings of her changing her clothes and bathing. Yes, as part of Fogle’s sordid history, he paid for videos and photos of young teenagers in states of undress. Last March, parents of one of these teenagers filed a lawsuit against Fogle for emotional distress. They are seeking $150,000 in damages. In the lawsuit, the parents allege that Russell Taylor – the former head of Fogle’s charity – secretly filmed their underage daughter and other kids while they were changing clothes and bathing at Taylor’s house. He then passed along the footage to Fogle. In a motion filed Thursday, however, Fogle tried to turn the legal tables. He argued that the girl’s parents “through their actions, caused or significantly contributed to the injuries and damages alleged by Jane Doe in her Complaint against the Defendants.” Fogle isn’t denying his heinous actions here. He’s just having the balls to say the parents deserve blame for messing up their child, the one he grossly and illegally ogled. View Slideshow: 20 Celebrities You Probably Want to Keep Away From Your Children Fogle claims the parents were responsible for their daughter’s depression, anxiety and emotional distress due to their “hateful and abusive relationship toward each other, which included, but was not limited to, engaging in frequent fighting and arguing between themselves; abusing alcohol and getting drunk; and engaging in frequent fighting, physical abuse, and arguing with Jane Doe.” He also says these parents’ abuse and neglect caused their daughter’s alcohol and substance abuse, self-mutilation and suicidal thoughts. Earlier this summer, Fogle tried to argue that he isn’t that disgusting of a person. In an attempt to reduce his prison sentence, he filed a document with the U.S. Court of Appeals that claimed he only child porn to one person while in a hotel room. So, come on, he basically said! Give me a break! Fortunately, the judge wasn’t hearing it. He refused to shorten Fogle’s prison term , stating that Fogle clearly has an “obsession with child pornography and having sex with minors.” View Slideshow: 13 Shamed Celebrity Spokespeople This guy sucks so much.
As a starting quarterback, Colin Kaepernick often bolted from the pocket at the first sign of pressure from the defensive line. As a controversial protestor, however, Colin Kaepernick isn’t going anywhere in the face of ongoing criticism. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback refused to stand during the playing of the national anthem prior to a preseason football game last week. After cameras found Kaepernick glued to the bench, he explained to reporters that he felt a responsibility to take some kind action against racial injustice in America. “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” Kaepernick said, adding: “To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. “There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.” In subsequent comments, Kaepernick brought up the recent deaths of African-American citizens in confrontations with white police officers and said he would continue his protest until he saw “significant change.” And he meant it. On Thursday evening, Kaepernick kneeled on the sideline while the Star-Spangled Banner played overhead prior to his team’s matchup against the San Diego Chargers. In this case, Petty Officer 1st Class Steven Powell sang the anthem, as 240 military officers held the U.S. flag on a night when the home team hosted the 28th annual Salute to the Military night. But the quarterback wasn’t alone this time around. Teammate Eric Reid also dropped to a knee. Elsewhere on Thursday, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane refused to stand during the national anthem before his game against the Oakland Raiders. “I’ll continue to sit,” Kaepernick said earlier this week. “I’m gonna continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed. To me, this is something that has to change. “When there’s significant change and I feel like that flag represents what it’s supposed to represent and this country is representing people the way that it’s supposed to, I’ll stand.” However, Kaepernick is doing more than merely kneeling on the ground for a couple minutes in protest. He has announced plans to donate the first $1 million he earns this year to charities that assist communities in need. “I’ve been very blessed to be in this position and to be able to make the kind of money I do,” Kaepernick said after last night’s game. “And I have to help these people. I have to help these communities. It’s not right that they’re not put in a position to succeed or given those opportunities to succeed.” Kaepernick also said he spoke to a military veteran before the game about his cause. He received the man’s full support and explains that he took to a knee, as opposed to sitting all the way down, to “try to show more respect to the men and women that fight for this country.” Kaepernick has received some celebrity support, as well. John Legend, for example, says the Star-Spangled Banner is weak and that “America the Beautiful” should be our anthem instead. Either way, this is where things now stand: Colin Kaepernick is taking a knee during the playing of the national anthem. He’s doing so to draw attention to racial inequality in a country that prides itself as being the “land of the free” and he’s now giving $1 million to causes that are trying to help with this issue. And there’s a single person out there who has a problem with this? Why?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Kate Gosselin says her troubled son, Collin, has been sent away from home to treat “special needs” … and fans are far from pleased. Obviously, Collin’s personal situation has sparked debate and sympathy from the public, as no one likes to see an adolescent struggle. The 41-year-old single mom’s conduct – past and present – has come under heavy scrutiny, however, as it pertains to the child. Kate’s Instagram post promoting her People cover story, which featured all the kids but Collin, has quite the collection of harsh comments. Followers have lashed out, accusing her of exploiting her 12-year-old son’s issues for her own personal gain – nothing new for Kate. Kate Gosselin: Collin Has Special Needs, is Away Getting Help to “Reach Full Potential” “Shame on you for being so desperate for attention that you disclose this information about your beautiful boy!” one fellow mom wrote. “There is no low too low for you,” another opined. “Colin,” the fan said, “deserves better from you.” Damn, that’s rough, but after Kate admitted spanking Collin and being “too rough” on him in an attempt to deal with his personal issues? Well, fans are even more pissed. “I can’t help but think, one day Collin will read about himself on the Internet, and really think there’s something wrong with him,” says a fan. Collin has reportedly been undergoing care for at least one month at a Philadelphia-area facility nearly two hours from the family home. “[There’s] a fairly fluid diagnosis of what those needs are, but he needs to learn certain strategies to help him deal with things,” she said. “This has been a struggle we’ve had for a very long time, and it’s one I’ve dealt with on my own. I’ve felt very alone in this.” “By the same token, it’s not something that has only impacted me or him … our entire family has been impacted [by this].” Meanwhile, a source close to the children’s father, Jon Gosselin, says he’s furious at the reality star for taking their son’s problems public. “Jon can’t believe that Kate is talking about this for the cover of a magazine,” the insider said. “Collin is just a kid, and deserves his privacy.” Jon is also beside himself that his daughters called him a deadbeat in the interview, but that’s a whole different story for another time. In any event, the abuse allegations against Kate are not new. See Robert Hoffman’s 2014 tell-all, Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled the World. According to the book, Kate acknowledged being “too rough” with Collin when he was as little as two years old and wouldn’t obey her. “I feel so guilty that I treated him like that,” she wrote, of disciplining him harshly in 2006. “I will set out tomorrow to be a better mommy.” In January 2007, when Collin knocked over a high chair and spilled a bag of beans, Kate wrote in her diary that she flew into a rage. “I was instantly so SO angry, that I grabbed him and spanked him as hard as I could and thought I may seriously injure him,” she wrote. “So I sent him to his crib til Jon came home!” she wrote. “I have never felt that I may seriously injure a child but today was that day!” View Slideshow: 23 Infamous Kate Gosselin Scandals Kate says she noticed Collin’s temper, and observed that she did not like “that he doesn’t know how to handle his frustration and anger.” Fast forward ten years, and here we are. She’ll be dealing with the frustration and anger of the public the more she talks about it, and it’s hard to say the criticism isn’t warranted. We just hope Collin is doing better.
Colin Kaepernick stuck to his guns with his decision to take a knee during the National Anthem tonight, and teammate Eric Reid joined him in making the statement — at a game meant to salute the armed forces, no less. And it looks like Colin’s action is inspiring players on other teams as well. Seahawks baller Jeremy Lane also decided to remain in his seat this time around… Could this be a movement that sweeps across the league? Instagram/ ESPN
If you watch Bachelor in Paradise online , you know the tension, awkwardness and anticipation rise with every passing week on ABC. Watch Bachelor in Paradise Season 3 Episode 8 Online There was little doubt about this on Bachelor in Paradise Season 3 Episode 8 , during which romance, insecurities and drama ran rampant. Especially when you get Nick Viall and Josh Murray together. Josh again had to defend himself against allegations made in Andi Dorfman’s new memoir on Bachelor in Paradise Season 3 Episode 8. This time, the twins, Emily and Haley Ferguson, got involved. After expressing their concerns to Nick after Josh got pissed that Amanda Stanton went to bed without telling him, Viall opened up: “The fact that he’s cracked a little bit from something as simple as Amanda going to bed without telling him, that’s concerning, right?” “So, it’s hard to believe that (Andi) wrote a fictional book about Josh that was all made up, but there’s some accurate things about me.” “And, so I think it’s a very fair question to ask,” Nick explained, asking, “Did [Murray] come ’cause he thought he could repair his image?” The twins thought Nick’s points were, well, on point. Growing concerned about Josh Murray and Amanda Stanton together, and lacking for other storylines, the twins pulled their BFF aside. “Tonight it’s been brought to our attention that, by a few of the people [here] now, that Josh’s intentions aren’t pure with you,” they said. “We just want you to be careful,” Haley told Amanda. Stanton felt confused because she didn’t know what was said, as the twins promptly peaced out of paradise because they hadn’t found love. That’s right, they forfeited their roses and bounced. In any case, Amanda confronted Josh, who replied, “to believe that kind of stuff is like looking in a gossip magazine, believing that.” “It’s absolutely ludicrous,” he said, irritated. When Amanda revealed that the twins cited an unnamed source as the person (or person) behind the Josh gossip, he got more irritated. He assembled the whole gang to ream them out, and profess his innocence, telling them that “I am very frustrated right now.” “Ever since I’ve been here, for some reason one person or multiple people have accused me of being fake … It’s very disrespectful.” “It’s inconsiderate, and it’s a bunch of bulls–t to be honest with you,” Murray said, seething. “I don’t need to be here.” “My dog’s been battling cancer for six months. I wasn’t gonna come here. I am looking for somebody … period.” Then Josh asked if anyone doubted his authenticity, and Nick said he wasn’t sure, then brought up Dorfman’s book. “You keep saying it’s a fictional book. All I know is on my part it’s not fictional … the stuff she wrote about me,” Nick said. Josh responded to that by … threatening Nick: “All I know is I’m gonna try to work on this right now, and you need to hope that everything’s good with me and her … period, man.” Yeah. As Nick said, this is one scary ass dude: “All he wanted to do was just murder me.” As far as Amanda’s response to all this, she said that “I love the twins, and I respect what they have to say,” but it’s her decision. View Slideshow: Bachelor in Paradise Season 3: Who’s In?!? Meanwhile, Caila Quinn realized things with Jared Haibon couldn’t work with Ashley Iaconetti creeping, so she wanted out too.

Shana Mangatal has a lot to say about Michael Jackson. And she swears it all comes from first-hand experience. The 46-year old has penned a book titled “Michael and Me: The Untold Story of Michael Jackson’s Secret Romance” in which she attempts to end certain rumors about the artist’s private life. Specifically, Mangatal says she knew Jackson intimately. She claims she slept with him on numerous occasions and that the iconic singer was very strongly into women. There has been chatter over the years, of course, regarding Jackson’s sexuality and whether he was actually attracted to the opposite gender. Mangatal says she met MJ in 1988, shared her first kiss with him at the age of 26 and slept with him several times in the summer of 1996. She also kept diaries of their experiences together. “After he passed away, it was really difficult for me to look at his pictures, watch his music videos or even listen to his music, so I definitely couldn’t read those diaries, until about, I’d say, a year or two ago, when I finally got the strength to do it,” Mangatal says . Jackson, of course, died in 2009 at the age of 50 from “ acute propofol intoxication .” Mangatal says her intent in publishing this book and including with it excerpts from her diary is so the public can think a “little bit differently about Michael and have a different perspective on him.” For example? “Anyone that I talk to, most of them believe that he was asexual, and I tell them no,” Mangatal explains . “All you have to do is spend five minutes with him, and you know instantly that he was not asexual. “He was quite the opposite, because he was extremely flirtatious – he was always flirting with me, at least. He could flip any conversation into something flirty. “From the very first day that I met him [as a fan] at the afterparty for his concert in New York, he was flirting with me… And from then on, I knew that there was more to him than meets the eye, because it was clear that he loved the ladies. “And he couldn’t hide it. Even if he tried to be child-like and innocent, he had that manly, macho thing in him that made him the flirtatious, sexy guy in real life.” Jackson was also accused through the years of molestation. Multiple lawsuits were brought against the singer that alleged he slept in the same bed as little children and touched them inappropriately. Mangatal scoffs at this notion. “When you were with Michael, and you saw him with kids, you saw the relationship, and it was just so pure and innocent,” she says. “It was really a wonderful thing to see, because … he became like a kid when he was with them. He was like a peer to them. So it was never like he was this adult preying on the children. “He was literally one of them. He loved playing what they loved to do, which was play video games, watch cartoons, talk about girls even.” This is the second time Mangatal has spoken out against accusations that Jackson was a child molester. She told Radar Online that numerous parents wanted their children to spend all this time with the legendary artist and he did not want to disappoint anybody. “His problem was that he couldn’t say no to anybody – especially kids,” she said this spring. “He was just so sweet and kind. He could never say no and when he finally did, parents would become upset.” Shana Mangatal now works as an actress and talent manager. Her book went on sale yesterday. Along with these personal tidbit, she also writes that Jackson was a master in marketing. When it came to his professional life, for example, Mangatal says Jackson was the person who came up with his nickname, the King of Pop. He insisted that others refer to him that way at awards shows or on MTV for a very specific reason: branding. Here is how Amazon describes her MJ-themed memoir: During her seven years working for Michael’s personal manager during the prolific period of the 1990s, Shana witnessed the scandals and the lawsuits, the release of groundbreaking albums and the subsequent world tours, the making of big-budget short films, and the addictions. It was through this business relationship that their trust and love for each other grew. Shana kept a meticulous diary throughout it all. Her story is rich with every little detail. Will you purchase it? Michael Jackson would have been 58 years old yesterday.
