Blac Chyna Drops First Single, Raps About Her P-ssy

Blac Chyna tried to warn us, people. She actually gave us a heads-up on multiple occasions. But nobody could take seriously someone who willingly had sex with Rob Kardashian, so here we are now, slack-jawked and aghast over Chyna releasing her very first single. The track dropped on Monday, November 5 and it features Chyna rapping alongside such industry heavyweights as Yo Gotti and Jeremih. It also features Chyna rapping about her most private of body parts. “F-k you thought/Thinking you ‘bout to hop out the whip then hop up in this p-ssy /Talk that talk/ But when it’s time to pop a band you hop up and you shook,” the model says at one point, adding: “These broke n-ggas don’t deserve p-ssy.” It's unclear whether she is referencing Kardashian here or not. Late last year, however, an insider said the following to Us Weekly of Chyna's plans: “She’s in the studio hard at work, recording every day. Big name artists, producers and song writers.” And Chyna herself said something similar in a chat with the magazine XXL, making it clear that she was taking this whole music thing very seriously. “When I do drop my music, I just don’t want it to be like, ‘Okay, Chyna’s taking this for granted, she’s not serious about this,”’ she said. “I want people to know that I am serious about this and I want to show my progression and my growth and what not.” Progression and growth are not typically words associated with Blac Chyna. But Chyna asked in this same interview for folks to keep an “open eye, an open heart and an open ear.” That's fair, we guess. As long as Chyna isn't getting back together with Kardashian , we're fine with pretty much anything she wants to do. Also, dare we say it, but… this song isn't terrible! Take a listen for yourself and see what you think!

Thomas Ravenel to Stand Trial for Sexual Assault

Thomas Ravenel will have to answer the charge that he sexually assaulted his nanny in 2015. According to South Carolina news affiliate WCSC, a judge named Stephen Harris determined at a hearing on Monday that the case against Ravenel will take a step toward trial, dealing a pretty significant legal blow to the Southern Charm star. Ravenel was arrested in September and charged with second-degree assault and battery after the victim claimed he assaulted her inside of his Charleston home about three years ago. Tdoay’s preliminary hearing (which Ravenel did NOT attend) included graphic testimony from a Charleston police detective. He stated that photos show scratches on the unnamed victim, which prompted the aforementioned charges to be filed. On cross examination, Ravenel’s lawyer said there were problems unlocking the accuser’s cell phone. He also told Judge Harris that this is a case of “he said, she said,” although the victim’s wounds appear to contract that claim. While Ravenel’s young daughter’s slept in the room next door, the nanny told investigators that Ravenel took off his clothes and put the her hand on his private parts. He is then accused grabbing  her private parts. “While inside the location, the defendant undressed and made sexual advances on the victim,” according to an affidavit submitted to the court. It continues: “The defendant grabbed the victim’s hand and placed it on his penis before attempting to [remove] the victim’s clothing. “While attempting to remove the victim’s clothing, the victim’s underwire bra cut into her skin and her shirt wrapped around her neck, which caused the victim to struggle to breathe.” The woman then “crouched down to the ground to try and prevent further assault” before Ravenel allegedly “put his penis in her face,” per to this same document. At one point, the affadavit goes on, Ravenel “pulled down the victim’s pants and said ‘Show me your pussy.'” Ravenel is a former South Carolina state treasurer and anchored Southern Charm on Bravo for several seasons. But he dropped out of the series shortly after news of this assault (and another attempted rape) went public. “In the contract they have the right to fictionalize your story. They took advantage of me. I decided I’ve got too much to lose and informed them I’m not coming back,” Ravenel explained at the time of his departure, playing the victim. The accuser, identified only as Dawn, appeared at Ravenel’s bond hearing last month and said she thinks the crime extends beyond simple assault and battery. She said at that time that Ravenel’s kids and also hers were “exposed to constant alcohol and drugs.” Investigators say they have “appropriately time-stamped” photos of all of these injuries to corroborate Dawn’s story. They also have records of her employment that confirm her time line of events. Ravenel resigned as state treasurer in 2007 after pleading guilty to a cocaine possession charge. He has two children with ex Kathryn Dennis: daughter Kensie, 4; and son Saint, 2. Dennis filed for a modification of custody and visitation after his arrest — we don’t blame her.

Alaskan Bush People: Gabe Brown and Raquell Rose Are Getting Married!

Back in August, Alaskan Bush People star Noah Brown married Rhain Alisha in a beautiful, low-key ceremony. Now it’s another member of the Brown family’s turn. This time, it’s Gabe Brown — who filed for a marriage license before anyone heard a word about an engagement! RadarOnline reports that Gabe Brown is either married already — or about to be. A clerk at the Marriage License Office in Okanogan, Washington says that Gabe and his girlfriend got their marriage papers last month. “Gabriel Brown and Raquell Pantilla filed for a marriage license in person on October 8,” the clerk confirms. Raquell is not unfamiliar to fans who follow the Brown family on social media. In fact, it was Gabe’s youngest sister Rain who revealed Gabe’s relationship with Raquell “Rose” Pantilla. Rain has joked about beinga  third wheel, but she and Raquell have described each other as the best of friends. A source close to the Brown family didn’t quite confirm Gabe’s marriage, but didn’t exactly deny it, either. “They have been spending a lot of time together,” the family source acknowledged. The insider affirmed that “really likes her.” We’ve all been able to tell that much just from watching them on social media. Just look at this photo that Gabe shared of his and Raquell’s hands forming a heart together. Now, as we were all so recently reminded with Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin, a marriage license can be a little ambiguous. We looked it up, and Washington state law says that a marriage license has a three-day waiting period. (That, folks, is to prevent people who are blitzed out of their minds from having impulsive weddings with someone they just met) After those three days are over, the couple has 60 days in which to have their wedding. After that, if they have not held a wedding, the marriage license becomes invalid. If our understanding that this gives Gabe and Raquell a total of 63 days in which to tie the knot is correct, they must hold their wedding by December 10. Just because Gabe and Raquell need to hold a wedding between October 11 and December 10 doesn’t mean that it has to be large. Noah’s wedding, after all, was a pretty small event. It is entirely possible that Gabe and Raquell have already had a wedding somewhere on the Brown family’s private, spacious homestead. If your dad buys 435 acres of land , we sure hope that there’s enough room for you to get married on it. If so, we hope that they’ll make an announcement about it soon. But they still have an entire month — and some change — to hold that wedding. Maybe it hasn’t happened yet. Gabe Brown has not always been so lucky in love. In late November of last year, Rain warned her fans and followers that an imposter was pretending to be Gabe Brown . This imposter was catfishing fans, some of whom developed real feelings for the fake Gabe. Months later, when fans learned of Gabe’s relationship with Raquel, some accused Gabe of seducing them — having ignored Rain’s warning. These fans may have seen Rain’s warning but refused to believe that they were being catfished. We’re glad that Gabe and Raquell were able to get past that. Still, Gabe and Raquell have only been dating for … possibly less than a year. Though Raquell has been getting along well with the Brown family — especially with Rain — some wonder if they’re rushing things. It’s always a little surprising when a couple goes from “dating” to “married” (or close enough) without any real engagement in between. But sometimes, couples just know. Congratulations to Gabe and Raquell! View Slideshow: Alaskan Bush People: 13 Secrets They Don’t Want You to Know

Mike Sorrentino Prays For Leniency Ahead of Tax Fraud Sentencing

Tonight, millions of Americans will tune in to see their favorite gang of guidos return to their original stomping ground as Jersey Shore Family Vacation relocates to Seaside Heights. And tomorrow morning, one of those hard-partying fist-pumpers will go before a judge and learn his fate. Yes, as you may recall, Mike Sorrentino pled guilty  to tax fraud back in January. Under the terms of his plea deal, the Situation faces five years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines. Sorrentino is due to be sentenced at 11:30 on Friday morning. Legal experts who have followed the case say it’s unlikely that he’ll receive the full five year maximum — but he’ll almost certainly do some jail time. Back in February of 2014, Mike and his brother Marc were indicted for failing to pay taxes on $8.9 million in earnings. They were accused of covering up their crimes by filing false tax returns in connection to Mike’s business ventures. Mike was hit with additional charges of tax evasion and structuring funds to avoid currency transaction reports in April of 2017. He pled guilty to one such charge as part of his plea deal, with the understanding that doing so would likely land him behind bars. Needless to say, Sorrentino has quite a bit working against him. But there’s also a lot that might help him in the eyes of a sentencing judge. Mike entered rehab and got sober back in 2015, and he got engaged to Lauren Pesce  in April. The Sitch has been on his best behavior on the current season of Shore , and you can bet his lawyers will remind the judge of the many ways in which he’s turned his life around. In the days leading up to his sentencing Mike, has celebrated his sobriety and prayed for a beneficial resolution to his legal woes. “God grant me the serenity to stop beating myself up for not doing things perfectly,” Sorrentino tweeted this week. Sorrentino is due to marry Pesce in November, but no matter what happens tomorrow, he won’t immediately be taken into custody, so prison shouldn’t interfere with those plans. Our thoughts go out to Mike and his family during this intensely stressful time. View Slideshow: Jersey Shore Cast: Where Are They Now?

Jenelle Evans: I Don’t Respect My Mom!

If you keep up with the comings and goings of Jenelle Evans, then one, bless your heart, because you sure are trooper, huh? And two, you know that she hasn’t gotten along with her mother , Barbara Evans, for a very, very long time. Even back in the first season of Teen Mom 2, we saw Jenelle and Barbara get into horrific fights — mostly because Jenelle couldn’t seem to comprehend the idea of being responsible. She left her newborn son, little baby Jace, at home while she went out partying at night, and she expected her mom to pick up her slack. Meanwhile, Barbara had (and still has) a job, but she still cared for Jace throughout the nights while Jenelle was out, and during some mornings when she was too tired to parent. Eventually she signed temporary custody over to Barbara, with the understanding that “temporary” custody could mean she’d get him back in a few months or that Babs would have custody until Jace turned 18. After that, Barbara acted as a full-time parent to Jace while Jenelle ran off with various boyfriends, got addicted to heroin, etc. The kid will be eight years old next month, and Barbara still has full custody of him . And, according to Jenelle, that’s why she’s “lost all respect” for her mother. Seriously. “We don’t talk much,” she admits in a new interview with Us Weekly. “We only talk about Jace and meeting up to drop him off or pick him up and other than that, we aren’t talking.” The issue, she says, is that she’s “frustrated” that Barbara just won’t give her custody of Jace. “I told her,” she claims, “if you want to be back in my life in any way, you can give me back my son and we can start from there.” “As long as I don’t have Jace, I don’t see us having a real relationship.” Does Jenelle not understand anything ? It’s not like Barbara can simply change her mind and give Jace to Jenelle — she’s not keeping him to spite her. She stepped up when Jenelle was in a really dark place, and she’s been the only real parent Jace has ever known. And really, it’s only been a year or so since Jenelle’s had her life together. For several years, she was completely out of control. As she admitted in another recent interview, she almost died of a heroin overdose — shouldn’t she be grateful for Barbara and how she’s dedicated so much of herself to Jace when she couldn’t? Also, just a couple of months ago, Jenelle agreed to an official visitation schedule for Jace. Instead of going to trial and possibly getting custody of her son — the thing she’s said she’s wanted for years — she agreed to go to mediation with Barbara, and their lawyers worked out their new schedule with the new rules . That was her opportunity to get Jace back, but she’s still saying she’s waiting on Barbara to just hand him over. Again, does she not understand anything?! In the interview, she also says that “Ever since the court date, I haven’t filmed with her. I think it’ll just be pick up and drop offs unless my director really pushes.” “As for me and my mom on camera together having a conversation? No, you won’t be seeing that.” Which is sad, because we did see them have a nice moment in a sneak peek for the upcoming season. We should have known it wouldn’t last. View Slideshow: 13 Shocking Jenelle Evans Facts Even We Didn’t Know! Ideally, someone can sit Jenelle down and calmly explain to her how this whole custody thing works, since she hasn’t seemed to be able to comprehend it yet. And then, maybe that person can clue her in on just how much Barbara has done for her and Jace over the years. That’s the dream, anyway.

Nick Viall: Whoa! I’m The Bachelor?!?

Are you still shocked that  Nick Viall has been chosen as the next Bachelor on ABC? You’re not alone. Nick Viall is as stunned as anyone. A few days after Viall appeared on the Bachelor in Paradise after-show to announce the news, he’s made it clear over Instagram that he still can’t believe it’s true. Yes, he’s appeared twice on The Bachelorette and is currently a cast member on the aforementioned franchise spinoff. But still. He’s getting a FOURTH shot at love?!? “The look when it hasn’t quite sunk in yet,” Viall wrote as a caption to the selfie above, adding: “Couldn’t feel more fortunate. Incredibly thankful for all the support. We are going to have some fun! #thebachelor.” Not everyone agrees with this assessment, of course. There’s a petition going around to have both Viall AND Pell as the Bachelors this spring, with the women on the show eventually deciding who ought to be the sole star. Viall, however, seems immune to the criticism. Soon after being confirmed as The Bachelor, he posted with the After Paradise crew (above) and wrote on his Instagram account: “Wow!! Couldn’t be more excited, nervous, and thankful for this opportunity!! It’s going to be a wild ride. “Thank you to everyone for all their support! So thankful!!!! HERE WE GO!! #thebachelor #bachelorinparadise #thankyou.” Most fans of The Bachelor had assumed that Pell would earn this gig, and that includes Pell himself. He’s gone on record in saying just how close he actually got to standing alongside Chris Harrison when the series returns next year. “We were all satisfied, had agreed to the contracts and everything was moving forward,” Pell told Us Weekly on Thursday. “I was checked in to my flight to come to L.A. I got a call from producers Sunday night at about 10 p.m. They said ABC had decided to quote-unquote go in a different direction. “I was supposed to fly out Monday morning at 9 a.m. I had my bags packed and everything. Most dramatic Monday ever!” Wow, yeah. We’d say so. Do you think ABC made the right call? Who would YOU want to see as the Bachelor number-21? And the Winner is? Nick Viall Click Here To Vote for Nick Luke Pell Click Here To Vote for Luke Nick Viall will be The Bachelor in the spring of 2017. But would you prefer to have seen Luke Pell picked for this position? View Poll » Viall has finished twice as the runner-up on The Bachelorette. Many see him as an odd selection because he’s actively involved these days with Bachelor in Paradise, meaning he’s seemingly looking for love on television this summer already. Lauren Himle – who costarred with Viall on Season 3 of that show – told Detroit’s The Ticket radio station a few days ago that she isn’t happy with how the newly-crowned Bachelor treated Jen Saviano.  “I am not a big fan of [Viall],” said Himle. “He dated my great friend Jen on Bachelor in Paradise … but it was my understanding that they were still seeing each other after the show completed.” Wait… so how serious were Viall and Saviano after the ABC dating show concluded filming? Himle said they were “still together in a relationship.” And this was just last week! View Slideshow: Nick Viall as The Bachelor: Twitter Reacts! The Bachelor producers, of course, is probably loving this controversy. Look at how many headlines the casting of Viall has generated over the past few days? Viewers may claim that they won’t tune in to see Viall search for a wife again next spring, but let’s face it: they will. Even if you hate watch The Bachelor online or on television, you are still watching it. ABC will gladly take your eyeballs and the ratings they bring in.

Kansas Boy Dies on World’s Tallest Water Slide

Tragedy has struck a family in Kansas. According to CBS affiliated KCTV, a 10-year old boy named Caleb Schwab died on Sunday after riding the Verruckt, a ride Schlitterbahn Water Park. The name of the ride used the German word for “insane” in its title and the ride itself has been dubbed the World’s Tallest Water Slide by the Guinness Book of World Records. The structure stands 168 feet and seven inches tall. Police spokesman Officer Cameron Morgan confirmed the sad incident last night, but was unable to offer any details regarding Caleb’s passing. The victim has been identified as the son of a Kansas lawmaker Scott Schwab, who released a statement with his wife Michele soon after the horrible news went public. It reads as follows: Michele and I want to thank the Olathe and Kansas City, Kansas communities and all of our friends and family for their outpouring of support and compassion as it relates to the sudden loss of our son, Caleb Thomas Schwab. Since the day he was born, he brought abundant joy to our family and all those he came in contact with. As we try to mend our home with him no longer with us, we are comforted knowing he believed in our Savior Jesus, and they are forever together now. We will see him another day. Your continued prayers are welcome and appreciated. We appreciate your understanding of our family’s need for privacy during this difficult time of grieving. Here is a look at the slide in question: House Speaker Ray Merrick told The Kansas City Star that Schwab’s family was “the center of his world.” In a press conference on Sunday afternoon, a spokeswoman for the water park said the park’s rides are inspected every day and are checked by independent inspection agencies at the start of the season. In a subsequent Tweet, Police Chief Terry Zeigler referred to the death as an accident. Water park officials say Schlitterbahn will be closed Monday, while the Verrückt will remain closed pending a complete investigation. The official website for the park says riders of the slide are “blasted up a second massive hill and then sent down yet another gut wrenching 50 foot drop for the ultimate in water slide thrills” after the initial ascent. The website adds that the two to three riders per raft must have a combined weight between 400 and 550 pounds and all riders must also be at least 54 inches tall. We send our condolences to the family, friends and loved ones of Caleb during this impossible time.

Fair Or Too Foul??? FDA To Lift Ban On Gay Blood Donors Celibate Of Sex For At Least A Year

Should gays be able to donate gays ? FDA To Lift Ban On Gay Bloods Gay Donors Celibate For At Least One Year Via NY Times reports: The Food and Drug Administration announced on Tuesday that it would scrap a decades-old lifetime prohibition on blood donation by gay and bisexual men, a change that experts said was long overdue and could lift the annual blood supply by as much as 4 percent. The F.D.A. enacted the ban in 1983, early in the AIDS epidemic. At the time, little was known about the human immunodeficiency virus, which causes the disease, and there was no quick test to determine whether somebody had it. But science — and the understanding of H.I.V. in particular — has advanced in the intervening decades, and on Tuesday the F.D.A. acknowledged as much, lifting the lifetime ban but keeping in place a more modest block on donations by men who have had sex with other men in the last 12 months. In a statement, the agency said it had “carefully examined and considered the scientific evidence” before changing the policy. It said it intended to issue a draft guidance detailing the change in 2015. The shift puts the United States on par with European countries like Britain, which adjusted its lifetime ban in favor of a 12-month restriction in 2011. Men’s health advocates welcomed the move, saying that the ban was not based on the latest science and that it perpetuated stigma about gay men as a risk to the health of the nation. Legal experts said the change brings an important national health policy in line with other legal and political rights, such as permitting gay and people to marry and to serve openly in the military. “This is a major victory for gay civil rights,” said I. Glenn Cohen, a law professor at Harvard University who specializes in bioethics and health. “We’re leaving behind the old view that every gay man is a potential infection source.” He said, however, that the policy was “still not rational enough.” The shift will have far-reaching implications for the nation’s blood supply. The Williams Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles, has calculated that the change could add about 317,000 pints of blood to the nation’s supply annually, an increase of 2 percent to 4 percent. About 8.5 percent of American men — or about 10 million people — report having had sex at least once with a man since turning 18, according to the Institute. The new policy will exclude the 3.8 percent of American men who report having had a male sexual partner in the past year, a group that could double the potential new supply, the institute said in a report.

Corey Sligh, The Young and the Restless Star, Savagely Beaten on Thanksgiving

Corey Sligh is lucky to be alive. The model and part-time Young and the Restless star is recovering at home from injuries he sustained during a brutal beating last Thursday night. According to Sligh, per an interview with The Wrap, he and his girlfriend were delivering warm meals on Thanksgiving evening to friends who could not get off work when the incident occurred. They pulled up to a Rite Aid at the corner of Fairfax and Sunset in West Hollywood and spotted a young man flying around the parking lot in a Mercedes while his friend filmed the dangerous driving with a camera. “He wasn’t just doing donuts,” Sligh says . “He was flying through the parking lot, going like 40. The car was inches from hitting cars, curbs, and buildings and they were both just laughing.” After delivering his plate of food to his friend, Sligh says he told the guys to go elsewhere because they were scaring girls in the vicinity. He then started to walk away and… “I turned around and the car was three feet away and coming at full speed. The next thing I know I’m up on the hood of the car, flipping off of the side. I thought it was over.” The actor’s girlfriend helped him up get up while witnesses called the police, but the assailants returned. “They both attacked me. One guy hit me repeatedly in the face. I looked up and saw the other guy shoving Alisa and [our female friend],” Sligh explains. “I tried going over there while the first guy was hitting me. I had to tackle one of the guys to get him off and that’s when my arm snapped.” The police eventually arrived and apprehended the men, as Sligh was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and kept there until early Sunday morning. Doctors had to put screws in Sligh’s arm and he’s confined to a wheelchair for awhile, but he’s somehow not bitter. “It was pretty scary [being] on the hood of that car, but I’m happy to still be able to move my neck,” he told The Wrap. “I’m happy to have the problem of relearning to walk instead of not being able to walk at all. I’m pretty blessed.”
