Source: Tommaso Boddi / Getty Kylie Jenner And Travis Scott Relationship Is On The Rocks It’s a wrap for Stormi’s parents Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott . The two youngsters have called it quits…at least “for now” according to TMZ . Travis and Kylie were last seen publicly at his “Look Mom, I Can Fly” documentary premiere on August, 27th. According to a source, their relationship was shakey on the red carpet but they still came together as a family for the sake of supporting the project. Apparently, things have cooled all the way down since then, driving a wedge between them. Reports say Kylie and Travis have been trying to make it work in the weeks since his documentary premiere but ultimately decided to walk away. Earlier this year the couple had another hiccup where Kylie suspected that Travis was cheating. This was back in March 2019, but Travis denied it. Sources added that this isn’t the first time the couple has taken a break so theirs hope for them.

Prince Harry BLASTS British Press for "Ruthless" Treatment of Meghan Markle

Prince Harry has taken a step that is equal parts unusual and forceful. But all parts admirable. On Tuesday, the Duke of Sussex absolutely, positively, totally and completely WENT OFF on the media for the way it has treated his beloved wife, Meghan Markle. Seriously: Harry came out swinging, you guys. Hard . “Unfortunately, my wife has become one of the latest victims of a British tabloid press that wages campaigns against individuals with no thought to the consequences – a ruthless campaign that has escalated over the past year, throughout her pregnancy and while raising our newborn son,” Harry said in this rare statement. The handsome Prince didn’t just write down a bunch of words, either. He and the Royal Family are suing The Daily Mail for publishing the content of a private letter written awhile back by Markle. We believe the letter in question is one that Meghan wrote to her estranged father , although this has not yet been confirmed by the lawsuit or anyone associated with it. Any regular celebrity gossip follower, however, must be aware overall of all the ways in which various tabloids have quoted anonymous sources that have torn into Markle on the reg. “As a couple, we believe in media freedom and objective, truthful reporting,” continued Harry in this open letter. “We regard it as a cornerstone of democracy and in the current state of the world – on every level – we have never needed responsible media more,” Sounds like a not-so-subtle dig there against President Donald Trump. But that isn’t the point here at all. Not at the moment. One can believe in the value of a free press and also believe in what Harry says next: “There is a human cost to this relentless propaganda, specifically when it is knowingly false and malicious, and though we have continued to put on a brave face – as so many of you can relate to – I cannot begin to describe how painful it has been. “Because in today’s digital age, press fabrications are repurposed as truth across the globe. “One day’s coverage is no longer tomorrow’s chip-paper. “Up to now, we have been unable to correct the continual misrepresentations – something that these select media outlets have been aware of and have therefore exploited on a daily and sometimes hourly basis.” Wow, huh? Talk about some brutal honesty from Harry. “It is for this reason we are taking legal action, a process that has been many months in the making,” he goes on. “The positive coverage of the past week from these same publications exposes the double standards of this specific press pack that has vilified her almost daily for the past nine months; “They have been able to create lie after lie at her expense simply because she has not been visible while on maternity leave. “She is the same woman she was a year ago on our wedding day, just as she is the same woman you’ve seen on this Africa tour.” This is not the first time that Harry has come to Meghan’s defense. Shortly after the couple went public with their relationship in 2016, the prince released a powerful statement, trashing what he called the racist and sexist abuse she had endured since her relationship with him was revealed. We applauded him then and we’re applauding him now. Continued Harry: For these select media this is a game, and one that we have been unwilling to play from the start. I  have been a silent witness to her private suffering for too long. To stand back and do nothing would be contrary to everything we believe in. This particular legal action hinges on one incident in a long and disturbing pattern of behaviour by British tabloid media. The contents of a private letter were published unlawfully in an intentionally destructive manner to manipulate you, the reader, and further the divisive agenda of the media group in question. In addition to their unlawful publication of this private document, they purposely misled you by strategically omitting select paragraphs, specific sentences, and even singular words to mask the lies they had perpetuated for over a year. Harry, tragically, has seen first-hand what happens when a frenzied press goes too far. His mother, Princess Diana, was killed in a 1997 car crash after the vehicle in which she was a passenger sped away from a number of intruding paparazzi members. He invoked this awful incident in his statement on Tuesday. “I’ve seen what happens when someone I love is commoditised to the point that they are no longer treated or seen as a real person,” he wrote, adding: “I lost my mother and now I watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces.” The Duke of Sussex’s statement concluded: “We thank you, the public, for your continued support. It is hugely appreciated. Although it may not seem like it, we really need it.” KA-BOOM, huh? A legal spokesperson from Schillings, who are representing the Duchess of Sussex, added on Tuesday: “We have initiated legal proceedings against the Mail on Sunday, and its parent company Associated Newspapers, over the intrusive and unlawful publication of a private letter written by the Duchess of Sussex, which is part of a campaign by this media group to publish false and deliberately derogatory stories about her, as well as her husband. “Given the refusal of Associated Newspapers to resolve this issue satisfactorily, we have issued proceedings to redress this breach of privacy, infringement of copyright and the aforementioned media agenda.” This legal case is being privately funded by Harry and Meghan. Pending a court ruling, proceeds from any damages will be donated to an anti-bullying charity.

Billy Porter’s Protégé Mykal Kilgore Makes R&B Debut With ‘A Man Born Black’

Originally posted here:

Source: Ambe Williams / Ambe Williams Mykal Kilgore has the kind of voice that makes you shout during Sunday service. The tone of it is rich and soulful and with ease, he transitions through rifts and runs making any song he sings a melodic experience; an effortless talent he honed performing in the church choir as a youth. Kilgore gained the confidence to follow his dreams while entertaining a group of classmates, one day, in school. “I would sing with my friends at lunch and one day a group of ‘cool guys’ came over and demanded me to sing them something. I started singing Killing Me Softly and they went crazy,” he explained. He felt “accepted and special.” “I also saw that there was something to singing that makes everybody come together. I wanted to be a part of bringing folks together.” Under the tutelage of Pose star Billy Porter , the Florida native eventually moved to New York where he pursued a career on Broadway ( Motown the Musical ,  The Book of Mormon , Hair). While Mykal thrived on stage, his passion for singing was bursting at the seams. He released his debut R&B album A Man Born Black on September 6. “I wanted to do something audaciously authentic,” says Kilgore. “I didn’t want to release music until I knew I had something clear to say. I’m so secure in my point of view right now.” The 10-track body of work, according to his website, “is an exploration of faith, loss, the stumble and spills on the way to maturity, and the beauty of hope and love.” The freshman debut showcases Kilgore’s songwriting ability while serving as an ode to the classic R&B structure. Produced by Jamison Ross, A Man Born Black embodies sounds from beloved artists like Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Sade and Laila Hathaway. “My hope was that if I could be real about my life and my story through the writing that it would make the song relatable to all people,” he explains. “There are basic things that I want and I use the album to explore these things. I want more love in the world, more respect, more honesty, and more grace.” Kilgore describes A Man Born Black as his “baby.” He laughs when asks what song is his favorite. “You’re making me pick my favorite child?! I think Let Me Go is the song I find myself humming in the shower these days, but maybe by the time I shower tomorrow it’ll be My Heart! I love Let Me Go , because it grows with me everyday. It changes and matures with each listen.” Kilgore set out to give fans an experience that evokes an array of emotions. “ I want fans to feel respected when they listen,’ he says. “I give them my best and that means that the music, the lyrics, the vocals all work together to give an experience that warrants multiple listens, tears, hand claps, toe taps, and their LOVE! I want all of that.” Listen to A Man Born Born Black , here.

Hacker Fapper: Yahoo Software Engineer Admits To Illegally Scouring 6,000 Accounts In Search Of Their Nudes

Source: Towfiqu Photography / Getty Yahoo Engineer Pleads Guilty To Hacking Accounts Searching For Nudes A Yahoo software engineer has plead guilty to hacking 6,000 accounts in search of personal porn and nude photographs . According to DailyMail , 34-year-old Reyes Daniel Ruiz told a federal court that he gained access to the accounts via his prior period of employment with the internet company. He admitted that he typically targeted younger women, fellow employees, and his friends. At some point Ruiz’s boss became suspicious and he destroyed the computer in question and the freaky fappy hard drive where he kept his stockpile of illicitly obtained photos and videos. After being indicted in April, Ruiz was ultimately charged with one count of Computer Intrusion and one count of Interception of a Wire Communication, but plead down to just the Computer Intrusion. ‘The maximum statutory penalty for each count in violation of Computer Intrusion…is five years imprisonment and a fine of $250,000, plus restitution,’ the statement says. This fappy-fingered f-boy is set to be sentenced in February 2020.

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott: Whoa! It’s Over!

So much for those Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott marriage rumors. Heck, so much for those rumors of Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott simply going to see a movie this week together or something. In a stunning development that has taken the Internet by storm and surprise, this seemingly stable couple has chosen to break up. Neither half of the famous couple has confirmed this news, but multiple outlets have reported it as fact. This, for example, comes from a People Magazine insider: They are taking some time but not done. They still have some trust issues but their problems have stemmed more from the stress of their lifestyles. And this is from an E! News source: Kylie and Travis aren’t officially calling it quits on their relationship, but are taking space apart. It’s not a firm split. They’ve been fighting again, but have still seen each other within this last month. E!, of course, is the network that airs Keeping Up with the Kardashians, meaning it is locked in to the inner workings of this family and would never issue such a statement if it weren’t true. Scott and Jenner had been together for over two years. They appeared to be nothing more than a fling at first, only for Kylie to get pregnant with a girl after just a few months of dating the rapper. She and the artist then defied expectations and remained together through said pregnancy and then for over a year since welcoming daughter Stormi Webster into the world in February 2018. We did report on hints of a split just two weeks ago, but Kylie seemed to quell such chatter shortly afterwards by sharing a new photo of herself and Scott. And now… this. Back in March, Scott canceled a tour date in Buffalo after speculation grew rampant that he had been cheating. The couple put those rumors to rest awhile back, it appeared, by taking multiple vacations together this summer and coming across as inseperable as ever. So, what happened here? Why are they now on at the minimum a break and, at maximum, a total break up ? “They fight over ridiculous things and Kylie can be very skeptical about Travis,” the E! source explains. “Travis has been stressed with dropping new music.” It is worth noting that Scott did not accompany Kylie to Justin Bieber’s wedding in South Carolina on Monday night. This didn’t stop the 22-year old from having a blast, however. “Kylie had a glass of champagne in her hand and was dancing with Stormi on the dance floor at one point,” E! reports. “Kris was holding her a lot of the night. Kylie also had a cocktail drink at her table in front of her.” Jenner and Scott were last seen together at the premiere of Scott’s Netflix documentary, Travis Scott: Look Mom I Can Fly on August 28. They had often hinted that their relationship was headed toward marriage. In addition to referring to each other as “hubby” and “wifey” on numerous  occasions, Kylie also rocked a massive diamond ring on her left hand. However, the Kylie Cosmetics founder assured Paper magazine in February that she would “let everybody know” when an engagement occurred. For his part, Travis talked openly about proposing someday . “We’ll get married soon,” he told Rolling Stone late last year, adding of his baby’s mama: “People don’t understand how real my girl is… They have assumptions, bullshit-ass remarks of what they think is going on. Nah, bro… She’s the coolest motherf-cker of all time.” This may still be true. But this mother may soon be f-cking some other dude. Stunning, right?!?

Mo Money: Jordan Peele And Monkeypaw Productions Sign A 5-Year Deal With Universal Studios

Source: Jean Baptiste Lacroix / Getty Jordan Peele Signs A 5-Year Deal With Universal Studios Jordan Peele is the latest celebrity to sign a deal with Universal Studios. According to reports from Variety , Universal and Jordan Peele have reached an agreement that will link him exclusively to the studio for the next five years. The specific numbers have not been disclosed, but it is assumed that the deal is close to nine figures. This number also includes incentives for films that are expected to duplicate the critical and commercial success of Get Out  and  Us . Peele is in this along with his partner, Win Rosenfeld, and they will receive upfront compensation with the renegotiated back-end box office percentages for their Monkeypaw films. Universal Films entertainment group chairman Donna Langle announced this new deal in a statement on Tuesday. She explains that the director’s production house has earned this agreement because Peele has “established himself as a premier voice and original storyteller with global appeal. He is leading a new generation of filmmakers that have found a way to tap into the cultural zeitgeist with groundbreaking content that resonates with audiences of all backgrounds.” In his own statement, Peele echoed Universal’s trust in his vision when he spoke on their partnership. “It would not have been possible to make Get Out  and  Us without the endless trust and support we received from Donna Langley and the team at Universal,” he explained. “Their willingness to take risks and their commitment to original content makes them the perfect collaborative partner for Monkeypaw. I couldn’t be more excited for what lies ahead.” As of now, Monkeypaw and Universal are currently working on two new films. Just like his major successes Get Out  and  Us , Peele is going to write, direct, and produce both of them. Beyond those two projects, Monkeypaw is also behind the reimagining of the 1992 film Candyman, which Peele is set to co-write. Congrats to Jordan Peele, Win Rosenfeld, Monkeypaw, and Universal on an amazing partnership!
