Source: BEHROUZ MEHRI / Getty Before there were iPods, smartphones , and CD players, there was the Walkman. To celebrate the technological advancements the 40th anniversary, Sony is dropping two new models of the portable music player. The tech giant announced the Sony NW-A100TPS and the lower-end Sony NW-A105 are on the way. We are sure there is some head-scratching going on reading this. Mainly with tape cassettes being a thing of the past. BUT these models have been modernized to suit the modern-day person. The “rebooted” Walkman devices will run on an Android OS and come with a bevy of new features. For instance, the DSHEE HX processor will provide improved compressed audio, a vinyl processor for the audiophile who enjoys a vintage sound. Plus there is an S-Master HX amplifier which will supply the best quality audio. The new Walkman will also sport a 3.6-inch touch panel, USB-C charging port, Bluetooth capability, and expandable 16GB storage. Where the two devices differ is the NW-A100TPS will be sporting a 40th-anniversary logo, an interface that resembles a tape cassette, unique packaging and case that is will resemble the original Walkman. The NW-A105 will be the cheaper model and will not be decked out with fresh designs. Since we are on the topic of price, reports indicate when they launch in Australia and Europe later this year, they will cost AUD 599 and €440 EUR/£400 GBP. As far as a release date for the US, details have yet to be announced, but when they do both models will probably cost somewhere between $400 and $500 according to reports . Now we are not sure who is in the market for a separate device that plays music being that most people use their smartphones to stream music now. We are intrigued to see how the new models do upon their release. You can see them in action in the announcement video below. — Photo: BEHROUZ MEHRI / Getty

They don’t play fair, especially when you’re an accused rapist . According to DailyMail , a gang in Mexico City caught up with a man who was accused of raping a young woman, as punishment they stripped the man naked, handcuffed him, stretched him out, and allowed a hungry pit bull terrier go to TOWN on his twig and berries. Oh yeah, the gang recorded the whole thing on video. The victim is heard screaming ‘stop, leave me now, leave me’ while the group watch. One of the gang then covers his mouth with a rag to stifle his cries for help. A second dog, a brown pit bull, appears but does not join in. Footage taken by one of the attackers shows how the alleged rapist was castrated by the ravenous dog, leaving nothing but a gaping, raw wound. By a show of hands, who feels bad for this guy? Anyone? Bueller?

Reunited… and God, did it NOT feel good! On the Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 17 premiere Sunday night, viewers were given a glimpse into Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson‘s first public hang-out since the latter cheated on his baby mama with Jordyn Woods in February. And at least one stunning development came out of this gathering. As the episode opened, the 35-year old mother of one confessed she still had “so many raw emotions” towards her ex in the wake of their split. “I’m really just trying to figure out my own life at the moment,” she said. “I’m just healing and processing and going through the motions.” Thompson, of course, slept with other women while Khloe was pregnant with their daughter. She gave him another chance, however, only for Tristan to then swap spit with a good friend of Khloe and her family’s less than a year later. According to Khloe, Tristan had been trying to see her right around when the Season 17 premiere was filmed… but she kept turning down these requests. “Tristan thinks people are disposable — if he sends me enough flowers or enough text messages, I’m going to come around,” she explained, continuing along this theme as follows: “I still have not spoken to Tristan face-to-face and right now, I am not ready to. “I know I’ll get to that place, but right now it’s really challenging and tough for me. My feelings are super raw and I am really humiliated and hurt by what he did to me.” Kardashian and Thompson share young True, who turned a year old in April. Despite all he has done to her, Khloe has never tried to keep her ex away from her daughter — which meant she felt compelled to invite Thompson to his child’s birthday party on this premiere. “It’s the first time Tristan and I will be in a public setting together,” Khloe said. “I’m envisioning a party full of people, Tristan walks in and everyone is staring at us — I don’t want this at my daughter’s first birthday party.” She then recounted all the ways in which Thompson has tried to make up for his wandering penis and tongue. “All Tristan does is sent countless amounts of flowers, calls, texts, and I just haven’t been ready to talk to him because I feel like it’s going to turn into a screaming match and I don’t care to scream,” Khloe told viewers. “But I said that I would be willing for the first time to speak to him if there’s a therapist involved.” With this on the table, the parents did alleegedly take part in an off-camera therapy session via FaceTime “to help co-parent True,” but but Khloe said it went very poorly. She then wondered why she invited Thompson to True’s party. Ultimately, Khloe choce actually invited Thompson over the night before the shindog they could “get the whole initial weird first seeing each other out of the way in private.” This did make sense, but it also meant their reunion wasn’t filmed for the show and we had to rely on Khloe telling her assistant that it was “pretty awkward” to have any idea what transpired. “He was just kind of lingering … He was like, ‘So, do you want to grab a glass of wine?’” Khloe said, adding that Tristan even tried to kiss her after she reluctantly gave him a hug. Wait… WHAT? And how did Khloe respond? “I go, ‘This is the problem with you. You can’t just take what you get,’” she said, adding: “Then this morning he was like, ‘Thank you for letting me see True. She looked great, you looked even better.’ … Sometimes I feel like if I give an inch, he’ll take a mile and take my kindness for weakness.” Look, we suppose this may have happened. But doesn’t it seem just as likely that Khloe just made it all up for the sake of a storyline? It’s not like Thompson is in a place to publicly deny anything. As for how things went at the party? Khloe was mostly concerned about how Thompson would interact with Kim Kardashian , who had been a rather harsh critic ever since the Woods debacle. “This situation, it’s a little awkward,” Khloe said. “Everyone is staring at us and I’m really concerned, a little uncomfortable, about Kim and Tristan’s dynamic.” She should have been worried aboout Tristan and Kanye’s dynamic, as it turned out. Footage was shown on E! of the two having an animated conversation — and while there was no audio, the rapper later claimed that Thompson was upset about the fact that the family used the intro to West’s song “Runaway” in a Season 17 teaser. (The lyrics reference toasting to “a—holes” and “scumbags.”) “He felt like we were using my music to reinforce his narrative,” West said, after which an angry Khloe fumed. “I don’t need at my daughter’s birthday party for any of this to be a discussion,” she said. “I know everyone’s intention is to help and be protective,” she added. “But at True’s birthday party, it’s not the right timing.” In conclusion, while Thompson is feuding with Kanye, he’s supposedly getting help from a past Kanye rival. Indeed: Drake is trying to help the guy with Khloe back ! View Slideshow: Kim Kardashian & Family: 19 Conspiracy Theories That May Actually Be True (Okay, Some of Them)

90 Day Fiance alum Larissa Lima has admitted that marrying boyfriend Eric would be her dream come true . But for now, she's trying to work on her health — her mental and emotional well-being. Larissa recently revealed that she has been grappling with depression and anxiety for over a year. She's tried to resolve it herself, but nothing so far has worked. Now, she's prepared to seek real treatment — and you may be surprised at who's reportedly footing the bill. 1. Oh no, Larissa Last week, Larissa Lima posted and deleted a very heartfelt message about her mental and emotional health — and what she’s doing to remedy it. 2. She’s grappled with depression for over a year “I was devastated, emotionally exhausted, and my entire body ached from depression,” Larissa reveals, recalling the aftermath of her arrest in June 2018. 3. And THIS may explain some of her behavior “Sometimes, I was filmed while being on pain killers,” Larissa now admits. 4. She wasn’t especially functional Larissa describes: “I couldn’t move, do basic activities, or take care of myself.” 5. It sounds like Colt was a huge factor in her misery “You all know how my marriage started, ” Larissa says, referring to how Colt seduced her online but how life with him was nothing like she had expected and how his demeanor was suddenly much less charming — especially when cameras were not rolling. 6. She has more to say She continues, referring to her marriage: “and how it ended in the worst of ways.” Larissa and Colt’s marriage didn’t just end in divorce, but with a scary bloody fight. Larissa’s face was smeared in her own blood and her torso was covered with injuries, but Colt called the police first and she was the one arrested — yet again. View Slideshow
Jenelle Evans and David Eason are currently attending New York Fashion Week. And they have several messages that they'd like to send to their haters: For starters, Jenelle claims that despite some major hiccups — including a “release date” that came and went with no products appearing in stores or online — her cosmetics line launch is still proceeding as scheduled. More importantly, Jenelle says that despite rumors to the contrary, she's not pregnant and is not planning to become pregnant. And as always, she says her kids her top priority. Of course, as always, no one believes her. Check out the latest on Evans' whirlwind Fashion Week: 1. Fat and Happy We’re not body-shaming here, folks. That’s the term that Jenelle recently used to describe herself and her husband, David Eason. 2. Large and In Charge TMZ caught up with the controversial couple while they were attending New York Fashion Week, and as you can see, the Easons were eager to put some rumors to rest. 3. NOT Knocked Up For starters, Jenelle says she’s not expecting a fourth child … and won’t be anytime soon. 4. Hammering the Point Home “Happy and healthy in a married relationship,” is the description that Evans offered to TMZ’s cameraman, later describing herself and David as “fat and happy.” 5. Just Sayin’ … Generally, people who feel the need to constantly tell you how happy they are are holding on by a thread … but we digress. 6. Really Hammering the Point Home “We have custody of all our kids after the whole CPS thing was dropped, so everything’s back to normal. Kids are back in school… Nothing to worry about, we’re extremely happy with the outcome we did get,” Evans told TMZ. View Slideshow
On Sunday night, Keeping Up With The Kardashians returned for Season 17. Khloe and Tristan drama took center stage for a lot of reasons, but there is also a medical drama unfolding on the show. Kim has a rash of unexplained symptoms, and when she underwent a medical screening, doctors began to fear the worst. “Today I woke up,” Kim narrates while in the car with Khloe. “And my hands are a bit swollen.” Unlike millions of Americans, who either don't have insurance or can't realistically afford to use it, Kim can go to the doctor about it. “I think it's my anxiety,” Kim then hopefully suggests, noting that her fourth child is on the way via gestational carrier. It is not uncommon for people to suggest that their ailments are psychosomatic in order to brush aside more serious worries. Unfortunately, wishful thinking and denial are not the same as a medical screening. “I just am, like, freaking out,” Kim then says in a voiceover while footage shows her at the hospital. Speaking to the konfessional kamera , Kim says: “I have a baby on the way, I have law school.” “It just really can scare you when you start really thinking about how much this is gonna change my life,” Kim laments. She has already experienced swollen joints, headaches, and general fatigue. At the hospital, she undergoes a screening. And when she hears the results at home, the cameras are there to capture her reaction. “As far as your results …” her doctor tells her as delicately as he can. “Your antibodies are positive for Lupus.” “And,” he continues. “Rheumatoid arthritis.” Those are both devastating autoimmune disorders in which your own immune system turns upon your body and attacks it. Symptoms include agonizing pain, a lowered quality of life, and either condition can shorten life expectancy by decades. Lupus attacks the entire body. Rheumatoid arthritis attacks the body's joints and can warm fingers into gnarled, immobile talons. Kylie may not be a medical expert, but as she sits and listens to her big sister's diagnosis, she visibly tears up. Kim admits to her doctor: “So I don't, like, know what that means.” Dr. Daniel Wallace gives it to her straight: “You'd have, in addition to swollen joints, you'd have fevers, rashes, mouth sores, be really tired.” He does point out that there is absolutely hope. “But,” he notes. “Sometimes you can get false positives with these screenings.” By this point, Kris and Khloe have gathered around to also hear the news. This is when Kim confesses: “I'm freaking out.” Kylie remarks that not knowing for sure is “the scariest part,” which is fair. Through carefully dabbed-away tears, Kim shares: “I'll know on Friday.” Kim did such a good job of staying calm during the call. Afterwards, it's no surprise that she cries. Kris gives Kim some solid advice: “stay really positive until we get some results.” Kim acknowledges how helpful that suggestion is, even if it's difficult or even impossible to follow. “You know, you really do get in your head and think about the worst possible things that can happen,” Kim notes. “So, for the next few days it's gonna be really hell…” she characterizes. Kim admits that she will be “living, wondering what I have, what's going on, and how to fix this.” Things seem bleak now, but hopefully next week's episode will deliver some very good news.
Celebrity feuds on Twitter — we love ’em, don’t we, folks? Of course, they’re a little more entertaining when neither of the combatants has access to the nuclear launch codes. Yes, we’re the first to get our popcorn out when it’s Taylor Swift vs. Kim Kardashian , Round 47. But when Donald Trump is attacking Chrissy Teigen our first thought is one of mere sympathy for the beleaguered intern in charge of changing the Presiden’s Depends. Speaking of Ms. Kardashian-West, here’s a little backstory before we get into what went down between the leader of the free world and a popular Twitter personality last night: As you may recall, Kim has dedicated much of her time to criminal justice reform in recent months, securing presidential pardons for numerous non-violent offenders who had been serving life sentences on drug charges. Obviously, that’s a very good thing, and Kim was one of the prominent figures who received credit during an MSNBC special on America’s incarceration crisis Sunday night. Trump received credit, too, but … it wasn’t enough? We’re not really sure what exactly got his goat, but for some reason, the President of the United States of America unleashed a tweetstorm while hate-watching the show. “I SIGNED IT INTO LAW, no one else did, & Republicans deserve much credit. But now that it is passed, people that had virtually nothing to do with it are taking the praise,” the Donald began, as only the Donald can. “Guys like boring musician @johnlegend, and his filthy mouthed wife, are talking now about how great it is – but I didn’t see them around when we needed help getting it passed,” Trump continued. As you might imagine, Chrissy wasn’t thrilled to find that the most powerful man in the world had randomly decided to sic his minions on her on a Sunday night. But she certainly had no trouble seeing the humor in the situation. “lol what a p-ssy ass b-tch,” Teigen tweeted. “Tagged everyone but me. an honor, mister president.” Politics aside, we can all agree that attacking someone that viciously without tagging them is, without question, a p-ssy move. And as Chrissy pointed out, that’s not the only way in which Trump’s latest tantrum was one of his most ridiculous to date: “The absolute best part of his tweet is I literally didn’t speak in the special, nor was I mentioned,” she tweeted. “I’m cackling at the pointless addition of me because he cannot not be a bitch.” Fortunately, it wasn’t long before life returned to normal in the Legend-Teigen household, as Chrissy helped her daughter prepare for her first day of school. “Luna, remember the night before your first day of school? When mommy was making your sign and the p-ssy ass b-tch president had his 9th meltdown of the day? Sadly, the night soon took a turn for the worse, thanks to a sauce-related mishap. “F—ck I got pasta on my couch. karma is a p-ssy ass b-tch,” Teigen tweeted to end the night. That’s rough. Folks, let’s lend Chrissy our support and whatever cleaning tips we might have during this trying time.
