Prince Williams/WireImage R. Kelly’s Team Quits R. Kelly’s being abandoned. After yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaars of rumors that he’s a sexual predator, it looks like R. Kelly’s team has had enough. According to BBC, R. Kelly has been dropped by his lawyer Linda Mensch as well as his executive assistant Diane Copeland and his publicist, Trevian Kutti. Kutti made the announcement to Rolling Stone and told them he was done with the singer after April 16 while Copeland who worked with him for over a decade, quit earlier this month. As previously reported the BBC dropped a new documentary titled R. Kelly: Sex, Girls, and Videotapes which included new allegations against Kelly about his alleged cult-like harem of women he trained as “pets.” There are also new allegations against the Pied Piper. Last week we reported that a 19-year-old woman is claiming that he knowingly and intentionally infected her with an STD, reportedly the herpes virus. People are now commenting on the latest page in this sordid R. Kelly story including Ava Duvernay who said; Apparently dozens of times is the charm. https://t.co/MAYUWPPsm8 — Ava DuVernay (@ava) April 22, 2018 What do YOU think about R. Kelly’s team (finally) jumping ship????
If you keep up with the comings and goings of the Duggar family, then you know that a hot topic of discussion when it comes to these people is their parenting styles. And that’s because it’s all very, very scandalous. For years now, people have speculated on the way Jim Bob and Michelle raise their children, and that’s for a lot of reasons. They just have so many of them, for one — how does one even begin to parent 19 children ? On top of that, it’s always interesting to look into the Duggars’ church and their specific religious beliefs, because it turns out that others with those same beliefs use some pretty concerning methods to care for their kids. One of those methods, just for an example, is blanket training : you put a baby on a blanket, and if he rolls or crawls off of it, then you scold him (or hit him, in some instances) until he learns to stay put. Do the Duggars do this? Maybe, maybe not. We’ve never seen them do it on any of their shows, but many other people who share their belief system do it, so, you know, there’s a decent chance. But besides all that, there’s been actual evidence that all is not quite right in this family — Josh’s molestation scandal and the way it was dealt with, the way Jana seems to be more of a mother to the younger kids than Michelle is. And now, thanks to a live video Derick Dillard put on Instagram, there may be even more evidence of abuse. In the video, Derick is just filming around Jim Bob and Michelle’s house, and he happens to catch Michelle talking to Jennifer, her 10-year-old daughter. She’s visibly scolding her, and Jennifer is turned away, flinching. When Michelle notices that Derick is filming, she’s surprised, but then goes into her usual sickly sweet public persona. It may not sound like a lot, but after watching the clip, numerous Reddit users are convinced that this is proof the Duggars are abusive to their children. One person said that the clip contained “a lot of red flags,” including “Jenny’s body language, Michelle’s sociopathic switch to sweetness and the finger wagging which is clearly being used as a threat.” “Omg did you see Jennifer flinch?” another asked before answering that it looked like “she was actually flinching becauseshe thought Michelle was going to hit her.” One user confirmed that “Jennifer was absolutely flinching,” and “she did it as soon as Michelle made a swift motion with her hands. It looked like she was going to smack Jennifer in that moment.” Sadly, multiple people commented to say that Michelle’s scolding and Jennifer’s reaction remindd them of their own abusive childhoods. Of course none of this is definitive proof that she’s hitting her children — none of us could know that, obviously — but it’s troubling that so many people think this is evidence that something sinister is going on in the Duggar home. Or something more sinister than the stuff we already know about anyway. But regardless of everything else, someone else pointed out that “nothing about that interaction looked to be a healthy way to reprimand a child.” And that sounds accurate.

I guess it’s 4/20 today, and I don’t really celebrate, but apparently every website has to run some pot-related content today. Pretty sure it’s mandatory. So, instead of posting more shots of Bella Thorne (which I already do on a daily basis anyway), here’s something a little different: one of my favorite new hot nobodies Dove Cameron looking smoking hot. See what I did there? …You guys get it, right? Whatever. Just enjoy. https://www.instagram.com/p/BhwctgRg3fA/?hl=en&taken-by=dovecameron » view all 11 photos
According to my sources, Ariana Grande just released a new single. And I’ve never been a big fan of her music, but I’ve always liked Ariana. I think she’s really “talented.” Just not musically. Anyway, if you want to hear the new song, I recommend watching the video below. I’ve found it works even better on mute.
LA Fitness gym and spa. Long Beach, California Black Guy Puts NJ LA Fitness Managers On Blast For Being Racist Tshyrad Oates, a guest of an active La Fitness member posted videos of an incident with managers at a NJ LA Fitness, where 6 cops were called on them for NO REASON. Oates wrote on Facebook that he had signed in with a four-day guest pass from his friend, a club member. “After about a half hour, I was approached by this same employee telling me that I had to leave or pay, and I explained to her that I just signed in with her with the guest pass,” he said. “She stated that it was my friend who did not pay (unaware that her manager had already signed him in with his membership pass). My friend stated to her that he is an active and current member and that his gym tag was in his locker.” Wow. LA Fitness has since issued an apology according to Yahoo . In a statement released on Thursday per CNN , LA Fitness said, “Clearly, this is a longtime member, with a current, valid membership. We want to clarify that no membership was canceled and no one, including the member’s guest, was banned from the club.” LA Fitness also said in the statement that a front desk employee was “confused” and thought the member was a guest. “Regrettably, from there our staff unnecessarily escalated the situation and called the police rather than work through it,” LA Fitness said, adding that the company is “currently exploring potential training content and opportunities to better train our staff.” SMH.

At Shibumi in Los Angeles, cannabis plants are picked before they turn five weeks old, and they are cooked and served before the THC becomes active in the plant. You can eat whole deep-fried marijuana leaves at this restaurant pic.twitter.com/zSImSBHysq — FOOD INSIDER (@InsiderFood) April 21, 2018 The fried leaves are said to taste like crunchy chips. David Schlosser, the chef and owner of Shibumi says the canininoid oil is the main element of the plant that consumers will absorb. CBD “(Canabinoid oil) is the healing property of the plant… We get all the leaves prior to five weeks, ensuring it’s just CBD leaf.” Fried in tempura batter and topped with CBD salt, the leaves are said to be relaxing. But some commenters on Twitter pointed that it’s hard to be appetized by fried weed when you remember everyone currently incarcerated for marijuana-related crimes. I honestly can not believe what I’m seeing. Freely munching on fried weed, gluttonous. Yet, we are all aware of the incarcerated. — Fairy Eye Margo (@androidmartyr) April 21, 2018 @AndroidMartyr typed “I honestly can not believe what I’m seeing.

I could eat 100 of these.” They also smoke pork with dried marijuana stems and make CBD-infused kimchi by adding hemp oil and the CBD salt to the pork, serving it with a dried cannabis leaf. For now, the CBD items are served on a speak-easy basis. “So is this something I can get anytime I come here?” asked Avella in the video above. “Potentially so, yes,” says Schlosset. “We generally will have it in house if you know how to ask for it. We want to treat it as a special item.” No word in the video if Shibumi is supporting justice reform or using any marijuana-driven profits to defend those still incarcerated, but you can probably guess.

(Photo by Thaddaeus McAdams/FilmMagic) Was Waka Flocka Caught Creepin’ On Tammy Rivera, AGAIN? Just last week, the Flockas were getting praise for their resilient Black couple-dom and now rumors are swirling that Waka has been being dirty behind Tammy’s back? A college student at the University of Arkansas tweeted that Waka was “definitely” creeping with one of the sorority chicks at her school. She says the girl posted a shirtless photo of him on snapchat to prove he smashed. Smh, they seem to be taking it as a joke too! Saying the girl was born in the 90’s, shaming him for allegedly being thirsty. But do you think this is true? so Waka Flocka definitely slept with one of the sorority girls at my school this weekend. — (@layonce3005) April 18, 2018 my cup empty though pic.twitter.com/LfBuooUMMu — (@layonce3005) April 18, 2018 Kinda crazy, right? And it didn’t stop there, more students tweeted about seeing him in Arkansas and the girl being kicked out of her sorority over the hook up! Meanwhile, Tammy posted some pretty interesting messages to her IG story recently. Hit the flip to see it all.
