Listen, we don’t want any violence or harm to come to this woman, but the idea of comforting Amber f***kin’ Guyger is disgusting and she deserves every syllable of criticism she’s getting.

As previously reported Cassie and her trainer bae Alex Fine tied the knot in September after Cassie moved on from her 10-year Diddyship. Now Cassie (who’s pregnant with her first child) is posting pics from her Malibu nuptials and sharing details with VOGUE . According to Cassie she and Alex debated whether or not to get engaged before or after their baby came but ultimately decided on before. Cassie also told VOGUE that Alex surprised her with his proposal that he did alongside the Compton Cowboys. “I knew that Alex was designing a ring, but I honestly wasn’t expecting a super elaborate proposal because we already had the wedding date set, but he planned such a beautiful experience for me. I was so surprised!” He told me to come ready because we were driving straight to dinner to celebrate my birthday early that night as my family was coming into town,” she remembers. “I was running a little late, so he called me to check in.” Cassie pulled up just before the sun went down, and Compton Cowboys leader Randy Savvy came out front to welcome her with flowers. “At that point, I got so nervous, but was also really excited.” She also told VOGUE that they had less than 20 people at their nuptials and explained the process of finding her dress while pregnant. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Alex Fine (@alexfine44) on Oct 9, 2019 at 3:45pm PDT There were 14 guests total—all close family. “We wanted a simple venue with a beautiful view that felt warm and romantic,” Cassie says. “We wanted the aesthetic to reflect how comfortable and content we feel with each other.” They worked with event planner Melissa Andre to coordinate everything in just two weeks. “Melissa was a magician with the planning,” Cassie says. “Being that I was seven months pregnant, it wasn’t easy finding a dress in such a short time frame, so I worked with my stylists and friends Marni Senofonte and Deonte Nash to create a custom look with our tailor Arturo and his daughter Christina from Rancho Tailors.” View this post on Instagram Magical. @voguemagazine A post shared by Emilio Sanchez (@emiliosanchez) on Oct 9, 2019 at 5:29pm PDT A few days after picking the wedding date, Cassie spent a week and a half getting the dress made. “I spent one afternoon with Deo and Marni going through inspiration and during that time we settled on a silhouette and fabrication,” she explains. She wanted the dress to feel romantic but comfortable for what she describes as her “intimate backyard wedding.” They did billowy, off-the-shoulder sleeves for romance and a high slit for movement. “When it came to this moment in my life, I knew that [it was] the easier the better for me,” she says. “We chose to create the lace veil to give it a touch of the classic.” She then paired it all with Jimmy Choo shoes and simple studs. The groom wore Musika styled by Paris Libby, while all of the male guests were in black tuxes and the women were asked to wear cream. The couple’s ceremony was performed by close friend and director Peter Berg, the man behind the hit series Friday Night Lights and the newlyweds did their first dance to “Tennessee Whiskey” before ordering heart-shaped pizza.

Last week, a clip of the “Press” rapper went viral calling out Access Hollywood for “manipulating her words” and wishing “ they catch AIDS. ” She has announced she is not apologizing either. During her rant last week, Cardi B aired out the entertainment news program during an Instagram Live post screaming, “The f*ck?! Then y’all n*ggas gonna use what I said, chop it the f*ck up, chop it up, and try to make me look like I’m some wack ass mom. Get the f*ck out of here!” Access Hollywood subsequently deleted the post, causing some to ask Cardi to apologize to the outlet for the social media dragging. Cardi once again had time and hopped back on her favorite medium to discuss the idea of her apologizing. If you guessed she basically said hell no, you were absolutely correct. “Everybody say sh*t when they upset…People say all type of crazy sh*t, so when I say crazy sh*t, people just want to highlight it because they hate me. They ask every single blogger, ‘Oh my God, can you please talk about how Cardi said, this-this-and-that?’…If you think that it’s wrong, it is what it is, but I ain’t gonna apologize for you.” She also added that every time she takes the high road and apologizes, it doesn’t matter because people still continue to remind her of the mistake she is atoning for. Basically, you’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t. We feel you, Cardi, and respect you for always keeping the same energy. — Photo: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty The Real host Jeannie Mai is starting to open up about her relationship with rapper Jeezy and we are here for it. On Wednesday’s (Oct. 9) episode of the daytime talk show, Jeannie Mai revealed to her castmates that her standards were pretty low during her marriage. Mai states that she accepted the “bare minimum” when it came to support from her now ex-husband Freddy Harteis . “When [Freddy] said things like ‘good for you’ or ‘that’s cool,’ I’m like, that’s great, he supports me! That to me is my standard of support. I didn’t even know until my new relationship that something as basic,” Jeannie Mai said emotionally. Mai states that Jeezy helped show her what real support was and became tearful when recalling how the “Snowman” rapper left his birthday party to take her to the airport. “I’m not crying to feel bad,” Mai continued tearfully. “It was just so touchy. But even something as basic as, like, at his birthday party, he left his own birthday to drive me to the airport, he was like ‘are you kidding? I want to see you off.’” Despite her revelations, Jeannie Mai insists that she doesn’t blame her ex for the downfall of their marriage, instead, she states that she learned the importance of loving herself and taking time out to be truly single to avoid settling for a relationship that doesn’t meet her standards. As previously reported , the couple went public with their relationship in August to the shock of many fans. The “enTRAPreneur” and The Real co-host made their swirl official with some professional photos shared exclusively by People Magazine. In other Jeezy news, the rapper announced he’s hitting the road with his The Return of Snow, All White Winter Megafest concert. The Detroit show will, of course, feature Jeezy and friends, with some special appearances by artists from the Detroit area. The concert is slated to take place on December 13 at the Little Ceasars Arena. Tickets are scheduled to go on sale Friday, October 11 at 10 a.m. and can be purchased at 313Presents.com or Ticketmaster.com. Check out the clip from The Real below.
Source: Mondadori Portfolio / Getty Zahara Jolie Pitt , 14, is showing her career pursuits early. The daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt is flexing her muscles as a jewelry designer. Don’t think of this as some side hobby. The Ethiiopian born teen has partnered with jeweler Robert Procop to release a line called Zahara Collection. Robert Procop is a designer favorite of Angelina Jolie, so I’m sure mom had something to do with this connection. In 2012, Angelina Jolie partnered with Procop on a collection titled Style of Jolie. Robert Procop is also the designer behind Angelina Jolie’s 16 carat engagement ring which Brad Pitt used to propose. Source: Franco Origlia / Getty Zahara Jolie Pitt debuted her collection at the Maleficent: Mistress of Evil premiere in Los Angeles, California on September 30th. She wore her self-titled jewels on the red carpet, consisting of three emerald cut pieces. She wore tear drop earrings, a bracelet, and a beautiful ring. To show off the yellow jewels she wore her braids half up, half down and chose a black satin gown. She’s growing into quite the beauty! The jewelry collection has citrine as the featured gemstone. However, it also includes white and pink quartz jewels and pink sapphire pieces. This sounds like red carpet perfection. If you think this is a money making idea, the daughter of the philanthropist is following in her mother’s footsteps. The press release revealed, “All proceeds from the Collection will benefit the Los Angeles-based House of Ruth Shelters, which provided transitional housing for battered women and children.” The Zahara Collection will be available at select Saks Fifth Avenue locations and other exclusive retailers in both the U.S. and Australia beginning in November. Beauties, what do you think of the jewels in the Zahara Collection?

Source: Han Myung-Gu / Getty Rihanna has been with her billionaire boyfriend, Hassan Jameel, for over two years now. The Saudi businessman is heir to the Toyota Motors fortune in Saudia Arabia and the Middle East. She recently admitted in an Interview Magazine interview with Sarah Paulson that she’s in love and in her recent Vogue interview , she added that she’s in a exclusive relationship. She revealed, “I’m actually in an exclusive relationship for quite some time, and it’s going really well, so I’m happy.” And while fans have been (im)patiently waiting for R9 , it seems that the Fenty Beauty and Fenty Maison founder may have wedding bells instead of beats, on her mind. She appeared in a Go Ask Anna video, where Rihanna and Anna Wintour ask each other questions, the singer was very quick to discuss what her dream wedding dress would be. She gushes to Wintour, “A collaboration between myself and [John] Galliano, off course,” she says. We would love to see Rihanna the bride! She has publicly discussed wanting children on numerous occasions; however, rarely discusses weddings and a marriage. Could this be a hint that the two are thinking of tying the knot? If a Rihanna Savage x Fenty fashion show is a production…imagine what the style icons’ wedding would be like! We can only hope and wish. Beauties, do you think we’re getting closer to a Mrs. Fenty? Will she be taking some time out of empire building to start a family? Sound off in the comment section.
