Source: GMVozd / Getty With the holidays approaching, it’s a good time to get the spirit of gratitude flowing in your life. And there’s nothing like music to put you in a thankful mood and appreciative mood. There’s so much malice going on in the world right now that words like “gratitude” and “joy” are fading from our vocabularies. When it comes to linguistics, we’re slacking as a nation. Fear-driven words like “shooting” and “disease” have taken over our psyche. If you didn’t think that words had power, guess again. According to an article on Goop.com , “Words have power. Their meaning crystallizes perceptions that shape our beliefs, drive our behavior, and ultimately, create our world. Their power arises from our emotional responses when we read, speak, or hear them. Just say the word “fire” while barbequing, or in the workplace, or in a crowded theater, and you’ll get three completely different but powerful emotional and energetic reactions.” That may explain why certain songs can totally shift your vibration from low to high.You ever notice that even if you listen to a holiday song in July, it starts to feels like Christmas. Or you can listen to your favorite song and it instantly takes you back to the moment you first heard it or fell in love with it? That’s the power of music. That’s the power of sound. Halloween may have the dopest movies, and you can listen to anything on your birthday — but Christmas is pretty much the only holiday to have it’s own category in music. Oh but that stops now. In honor of Turkey Day, we put together a list of hip hop tracks that will surely get you in the mood to give thanks. Enjoy the sounds of these inspiring tunes that will help you feel grateful for all that you have this year.

Just a few weeks ago YBN Almighty Jay accompanied Dream Doll to Colombia while she got her tummy knifed up and took her on a helicopter date while she recovered. But now, it seems the teen is back being friendly with his ex-GF Blac Chyna. The pair was spotted visiting a Houston area restaurant together. Seems like Chyna was on Jay’s turf since (we assume) he lives in Houston. He is signed to Texas area music label Rap-A-Lot. Their reunion is interesting because in a recent ‘ Breakfast Club ‘ interview, Chyna acted like she was completely done “playing” with Jay. But here they are, again… View this post on Instagram Thanks for all the support @theshaderoom @blacchyna @ybnalmightyjay A post shared by The Turkey Leg Hut & Company (@turkeyleghut) on Aug 4, 2019 at 8:13pm PDT Meanwhile, Dream Dol l seems to already know what Jay has been up to. She’s already dropped him like a bad habit. Dream reminded everyone that she’s “single” on her IG page, despite canoodling with the teen just a few weeks ago.

For most of us, we could only dream of spending $10,000 on food delivery in one year. But as for Kylie Jenner, the world’s youngest billionaire, our dream is easily her reality. People reports that Jenner is all about her breakfast foods and loves a good bagel with cream cheese almost every morning. Postmates to the rescue! Not like we would expect the beauty queen to make her own bagels anyway. According to Postmates, Kylie is most likely to order her food at 10 am and a bagel with cream cheese from the Bagel Broker in Los Angeles is her most ordered item. The company shares a fun blog called The Receipt , which Jenner revealed to have spent $10,000 on 186 Postmate orders from 65 different merchants just in the last year. Most of her favorites include Pressed Juicery, Le Pain Quotidien and Milk Bar. Her most expensive order, however, was a bottle of Don Julio Anejo 1942 Tequila. And her smallest order? One Smart water and a single carrot. But, Kylie’s not going to take the heat for being the only family member who doesn’t like to spend time in the kitchen. “Rob (Kardashian) and I probably Postmates the same,” she tells People . “We Postmates each other things to try all the time, like new drinks and stuff.” Jenner’s order history also shared some insight into her pregnancy cravings while carrying daughter, Stormi. People shared that a week before Stormi’s birthday last February , the reality star ordered the most relatable thing ever, Oreo McFlurrys, 10 piece chicken nuggets, and french fries. Aside from food, Jenner has also ordered 3 cozy blankets from Target and nail polish remover. But, Kylie isn’t the only celebrity constantly making orders. Postmates has become Posty’s best friend. Yes, I’m referring to Post Malone who is Postmates #1 most dedicated customer, according to The Receipt. In the last 400 days, Post Malone has spent $40,000 on deliveries. Having ordered almost 3,000 items on more than 660 orders in 52 different cities nationwide. “When you’re busy on tour, try the Postmates diet,” jokes The Receipt. Or in Jenner’s case, when you’re filthy rich and pregnant. If you are actually interested, read on for People’s list of Jenner’s go-to orders. Kylie Jenner’s Top Orders on Postmates: The Bagel Broker: Cream cheese bagel Joey Woodland Hills: Miso Ramen Bowl Genghis Cohen: Chicken fried rice, vegetable fried rice, white rice, orange chicken Cha Cha Matcha: Matcha Latte Pick Up Stix: House Special Chicken Alfred Coffee: Chai Milk Tea Jersey Mike’s: Turkey Breast and Provolone Mauro’s Cafe at Fred Segal: Fred’s pasta, Penne Bolognese and Meatballs Ralph’s: Grape Jelly Milk Bar: Crunchy Cereal Shake View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Tries Cereal with Milk for First Time, Confounds the Internet
Source: Axelle/Bauer-Griffin / Getty After it was announced that Lady Gaga and Angelina Jolie have reportedly been competing for the role of Cleopatra in the Egyptian Queen’s upcoming biopic, all hell broke loose on the innanets. The question plaguing folks’ minds?…Why isn’t Cleopatra being played by a woman with some melanin? After all, there is some evidence pointing to the fact that she could have been biracial . Once the debate began, Twitter’s best Egyptologists broke out their history books, with some claiming that it was more likely Cleopatra was of fully Grecian decent, while others brought out evidence pointing to the fact that Cleopatra’s mom was African. “It has been suggested–although generally not by credible scholarly sources–that Cleopatra was racially black African. To be blunt,there is absolutely no evidence for this,yet it is one of those issues that seems to take on a life of its own despite all indication to the contrary,” @elmalquerer tweeted. “The best evidence is that she was three-quarters Macedonian Greek and one-quarter Egyptian. There is no room for anything else, certainly not for any black African blood.” Source: John Rainford/WENN / WENN Another Twitter scholar tweeted some knowledge about a skeleton believed to be Cleopatra’s sister, bringing up the argument that it’s quite possible the Queen had some African blood. “In 2009, a team of archaeologists found the remains of a woman they believed to be Princess Arsinoe, Cleopatra’s sister. The researchers believe Arsinoe’s remains, found in Ephesus, Turkey, indicate that her mother (also likely Cleopatra’s) was African,” @a mnimal_lb tweeted. “’That Arsinoe had an African mother is a real sensation which leads to a new insight on Cleopatra ’s family and the relationship of the sisters Cleopatra and Arsinoe ,’ Hilke Thuer of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, who made the discovery, said at the time.” With all the possibilities that she was mixed with this or that, Cleopatra probably didn’t look like Gaga or Angelina Jolie…and someone with some color could be more historically accurate. See what else people had to say on the viral topic below and let us know if you’re down for a new Cleopatra biopic. “saw some tweets talking about a Cleopatra movie (I assume Cleopatra VII) and if you’re worried about accuracy she should probably be played by an Eastern Mediterranean performer, no?” – @kylegodbey “If you ever saw Angelina Jolie play Olympias in the movie Alexander then you’ll know why she’d be the perfect choice to play Cleopatra . And that’s that on that.” – @VCHEUBA “Can we just not make another adaption of cleopatra” – @AmburgerBear

Teresa Giudice may simply be celebrating a milestone birthday in the photos below. Or she may be sending a pretty serious message to Instagram followers. The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member is estranged from husband Joe, but for a very good reason: He's serving time in jail for bankruptcy fraud and then may very well be deported back to Italy upon his release . We've heard at times that Teresa therefore wants to get out of her marriage — and at other times that she'll always stick by her man's side. What should we believe? Perhaps our eyes, especially after checking out the images below. Let's see what we mean… 1. Celebrating Gia Teresa Giudice is celebrating her daughter’s 18th birthday in this photo. What a precious snapshot. 2. HOWEVER… These Instagram photos become less precious and more suspicious when you check out the star’s ring finger. It’s rather barren, isn’t it? 3. What Does This Mean? Is Giudice finally ready to pull the plug on her marriage? 4. She’s Not Offering Any Real Hints Aside from ditching the ring, that is. “The day I became your mom was the day I found purpose in my life,” wrote Teresa as a very nice caption. “Gia, you are such a sweet gentle loving smart person and I’m so fortunate to be chosen as your mother.” 5. Continued Giudice: “Thank you for being such an amazing big sister, cousin, niece, friend & all the other roles you play. I don’t know what I’d do without you. You’ll never understand how much I love you & how grateful I am.” 6. And Concluded Giudice: “I’m so proud & excited to see where your future takes you. Happy birthday my gorgeous girl. 19 – I can’t believe it!” View Slideshow
It was the end of the line for Danielle Staub on Wednesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Margaret Josephs who has long advocated for Danielle to be part of the group decided enough was enough, and that their friendship was at breaking point. Instead of getting into another altercation, Margaret opted to send a text to end her friendship with the former series regular, effectively cutting her out of the action. “She’s wacko,” Margaret complained to her co-stars, before going on to reveal how the text exchange played out, and it was as ugly as you would expect. “I wish you a happy life. Never speak to me again,” Margaret said to Melissa Gorga and show newcomer Jackie Goldschneider as she skimmed her phone for the damning messages. “I can’t believe you’re this person, shame on you,” Danielle fired back before going on to wish Margaret a happy mother’s day. While that final act sounds like Danielle’s way of being nice, it was not. If you watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online , you know that Margaret hasn’t had the best relationship with her kids. She has been vocal about the breakdown of her previous marriage leading to a decline in communication between her and her ex-husband’s children. It was a typical Danielle move, but at least Margaret was wise enough to let the snake down gently by SMS. Hell, Danielle was out for blood on last week’s installment when the two Joe’s got talking about her intentions with her then-husband. “I didn’t answer. We’re done. We’re never having this fight again,” Margaret said to the women after spilling the beans. “Denial is a real thing, and she f***ing is Cleopatra,” she said with a smirk. As for the other relationship that was on the rocks, that was Teresa Giudice and Jackie Goldschneider. Giudice was ready for a war of words. That’s what happens when you bring her family into your petty squabbles, Jackie. “I’m definitely not intimidated by Teresa. I just hope it’s not another scream-fest,” Jackie fretted before a one-on-one meeting with her nemesis. “What you did to me is not excusable,” said Jackie of their previous bust-up, adding: “I don’t get spoken to like that; I’m a grown woman, I have a lot of self-respect … I was like, ‘What the f***?'” “Listen, you came at me first,” Teresa shot back. But Jackie went on to imply that she and Teresa had something in common. Her father was in jail, and her mother was under house arrest. “We used to laugh about it,” Jackie said, clearly trying to make light of the situation. “I’m living it right now,” Teresa said. “My kids live with it every day. And it really hurts them that their father is not here.” “I did not mean to hurt you, and for that I am sorry,” Jackie ultimately said, with Teresa accepting. “Believe me, I’ve gotten more Namaste – I used to be a little bit crazier. So that was calm for me when I’m p***ed,” Teresa said to close off the argument. While Margaret was washing her hands of Danielle, she didn’t realize she was gearing up for another big fight. Teresa later told the ladies that Jennifer Aydin’s brother and his soon-to-be wife “knew each other for two weeks and now they’re getting engaged.” “Ok, that’s a little crazy,” Margaret said laughing. Teresa said it’s part of the culture and that “they don’t sleep with each other and you get to know them when you marry them,'” “What happens if he was a dud? That’s a life of torture,” continued Margaret, adding: “Oh come on, he met her in Turkey? She could be mail order.” SHOT. FIRED. Teresa told Jennifer all about it and the latter said to Margaret: “I can’t relate to people who have affairs with married people.” This is the season of the feud, and we’re living for it!
