Chance the Rapper Believes Fans Want Him To Kill Himself Over ‘The Big Day’ Album

Source: Emma McIntyre / Getty Chance the Rapper’s “debut” album The Big Day isn’t getting the rave reviews the rapper thought it would. He took to Twitter to respond to the criticism and had some very eye-opening responses. The album which boasts appearances from Ari Lennox , Gucci Mane, CocoRosie and more is just isn’t impressing fans. Chance’s response to the negative takes on his album was quite interesting. The Acid Rap crafter claimed he believes some of his supporters want him to kill himself. I’m getting this crazy feeling that people want me to kill myself — The Big Day out now (@chancetherapper) August 5, 2019 He quickly reassured fans he has no intentions of inflicting self-harm on himself, stating in another Tweet: “That’s not my vibe at all, but I feel the push.” That’s not my vibe at all, but i feel the push. — The Big Day out now (@chancetherapper) August 5, 2019 The moment of self-reflection continued with Chance using his Twitter account to “let some of these feelings go” in a thread of Tweets. He touched on how feels people want him to be ashamed before showing appreciation to those who reached out to him over the past few days. He also expressed his happiness for being able to spend time with his family and doing things he used to before getting consumed in the album-making process. And I feel like even more than that, some people want me to feel ashamed. — The Big Day out now (@chancetherapper) August 5, 2019 Shame is heavy yo. And feeling shame for something that you were once prideful about is super heavy. — The Big Day out now (@chancetherapper) August 5, 2019 He closed out the conversation with a joke pointing out that 100% thing he is sure of is that he loves his wife. The clever swipe is a jab at criticism from fans who claim that all he rapped about on the album. That I LOVE my wife — The Big Day out now (@chancetherapper) August 5, 2019 Its clear Chance is sensitive about his work, and the negative reviews hit him a bit hard. But as long as he still in a good place mentally is all the matters, cause that Tweet talking about suicide is a bit scary.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Everything We Know About Season 10

The Real Housewives is the worst show in the franchise.  There's no getting away from that. With stale storylines to convoluted drama, it's been circling the drain for several years now.  Will The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 10 manage to turn the series around?  The first information is encouraging, but with no casting changes season-to-season, it's a little concerning.  Have a look at all the information we know below.  Missed an episode? You can watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online .   1. Teresa Giudice Will Be Back Could you imagine The Real Housewives of New Jersey without its resident table flipper? Neither could Bravo. She’ll be back. Producers will likely be bolting tables to the floor in preparation. 2. Melissa Gorga Will Be Back Teresa’s one-time arch-nemesis and sister-in-law will be back as a housewife. 3. Dolores Catania Will Be Back Dolores may not have much of a storyline, but the producers seem to think she will bring the drama during Season 10. 4. Margaret Josephs Will Be Back Margaret found herself falling out with a bunch of cast members during Season 9. That probably explains why she’ll be back for Season 10. 5. Jennifer Aydin Will Be Back Aydin will be back to flaunt her wealth. God, we’re still having nightmares about the number of times she tried to make the others jealous last season. 6. Jackie Goldschneider Will Be Back Jackie locked horns with Teresa on several occasions. Anyone willing to go to war with that table flipper deserves to return. View Slideshow

Bella Hadid and The Weeknd: It’s Over! Again! Maybe For Good This Time!

During the same week that her sister has made headlines for her dating life, Bella Hadid has gone ahead and stolen a few headlines… … by ending her year-long relationship with The Weeknd. Yes, these superstars had gotten back together, in case you hadn’t been made aware previously. Indeed, the 22-year-old supermodel and the 29-year-old Grammy winner have chosen to part ways, with a source using the former’s real name and telling E! News very simply: “Bella and Abel have split.” What brought about this unfortunate break-up? According to a source from this same celebrity gossip and news outlet, “distance” played a major role in their decision to go end their romance. “They are in different places right now, physically and mentally,” this insider says, adding: “Bella is prepping for her fashion week commitments and Abel is working on his music and his upcoming acting debut.” The model and the artist were rarely in the same city at the same time, according to this source. Moreover, their ongoing isolation from one another seemingly led to a great deal friction, per E! News: “They have been arguing a lot recently.” But is the  relationship really over? For good? No, Entertainment Tonight reports. The A-Listers “haven’t broken up, but are working through things like normal couples do,” this outlet counters, quoting a source of its own in writing the following: “The couple travels a lot, works a lot and that often creates tension,” the source says, adding: “However, the two love one another, have lost one another in the past and want to try and make it work. Right now they are together and working on keeping it that way.” Hadid and The Weeknd first got together way back at Coachella in 2015. Over the initial few months of this relationship, the private couple kept things casual prior to splitting up for the first time that December.  They got back together just three months later and then continued to do this break-up/make-up dance for the next couple years. As for Bella’s famous sibling? Well… Gigi Hadid has been spotted on two separate dates with former Bachelorette contestant Tylor Cameron this week. He was even seen leaving her apartment yesterday, meaning… well, you know what that probably means, right? What do you think of Bella and The Weeknd wrapping up their romance, though? Think it will stick this time around?

Unholy: The Pastor Cursed The Landlord’s Firstborn Child

Source: Mongkol Nitirojsakul / EyeEm / Getty There are about a million reasons why. Perhaps people are considering the ways religion has been used to oppress people church membership across the entire nation has declined significantly . It might have something to do with people leaning into spirituality over religiosity. And being in church all my life, until today, I recognize that there is quite a bit of foolishness that transpires within the four walls of the church. There are some who would argue that we shouldn’t speak ill of the church, that we should seek to highlight the positive. While there is certainly more room to speak about all the good that has come to and through church. But if you love something or someone, you want them to do and be better. And that only comes through critique. With that in mind, we’ll be sharing some stories from church that will make you realize that the church has some work to do if they want to remain a viable entity in the coming decades. This first story of folly comes from a storefront church in a borough in New York City. This is not the church I currently attend but circumstances found me in this particular church one day. I consider myself in touch and in tune with my spirit and from the minute the pastor started speaking in this place, I knew it wasn’t where I needed to be. In fact, I had a physical reaction to being in the space. I was shaking with anxiety because I knew so much of what was happening, what was being said had very little to do with Jesus, his daddy or his homie the Holy Spirit. So I vowed never to set foot in there again. Luckily for me, it’s one I’ve been able to uphold. And after I learned of a subsequent issue from that church, I knew I’d made the right decision. Months after I’d attended and advised my friend to leave as well, he sent me a troubling voicemail. In it, the head pastor of the church, stood behind the pulpit and cursed the landlord and his family. Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing! Please be sure to open and click your first newsletter so we can confirm your subscription. Email Submit My friend recorded it: “Hear what I will proclaim here today. Let me give you the prophetic right now. This building—because of what he did to the church, any business that come in here will never prosper. I know y’all don’t like when I get in the prophetic but I will proclaim it as a prophet of God. I release it that nothing will prosper here. It don’t matter what they put. I release it and it shall be so. Watch and see. That hair salon that will come here? Six months. That liquor shop that they got planned for? Five weeks. Watch God. It will not stand. They will always have to have a sign up there and he will never get anyone to stay permanently. It will never happen. I curse this building. I curse it in the name of Jesus. Y’all don’t like it but that’s alright. I curse it today. Then, the pastor took it a step further. And I curse his loins! Someone in the congregation shouted, “Oh! That’s what I’m talking about.”  The encouragement worked. The pastor continued, getting louder. “You mess with God and God gon’ mess with you! I saw today his firstborn will die! I curse this building by the blood of the lamb. Too long. Six years of hardship. You pay the rent and they still bother you. Six years of trouble and because of that,  I release one of the greatest curse in this neighborhood.” The crowd claps and there are sporadic amens. “I say it in Jesus mighty name.” As the pastor takes her seat, someone  laughs at the landlord’s pending misfortune. Then the next person stepping up with the pulpit quotes scripture to support the pastor’s claims, “Touch not God’s anointed. He didn’t understand, he’s going to understand now.” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.  ( Terms and conditions ). I don’t even have the time to break down the levels of wrong here. Do New York landlords have a tendency to be greedy, predatory and difficult? Yes. But squabbling over money before you ultimately decide to leave a space anyway, doesn’t warrant the death of this man’s firstborn child. For those of you a little rusty on your biblical stories, this curse on the landlord’s firstborn is a reference to Moses and Pharaoh. When Moses was trying to convince the Pharaoh to let his people leave bondage, God sent seven (or 10 depending on how you count) plagues to the land of Egypt. Water turned to blood. The kingdom was overrun with frogs, lice, and flies, livestock died, the people developed boils, there was hail, locusts, darkness and lastly the firstborn children in every family died—unless their house was covered by the blood of the lamb. Even if the landlord was a true asshole, I doubt he did anything as heinous as keeping an entire population  of people in slavery. But the gag is, God sent those plagues. And He did it to prove that He was God. Not Moses. I think we all know that God is the only one who can give and take life. And a woman or man of God shouldn’t attempt to play God by cursing someone’s child over a piece of real estate.

Jon Gosselin Raves About Wonderful Life With Colleen, Hannah, Collin

As we reported a week ago, Jon Gosselin hit the beach for a sweet family vacation with his girlfriend and with his children, Hannah and Collin. Well, they’re still enjoying their time at the beach as a family. And speaking of family, it looks like Jon is cozying up to the man who may one day be his father-in-law. Jon Gosselin shared this wholesome photo of him, girlfriend Colleen Conrad, son Collin Gosselin, and Colleen’s dad. “Back at the Beach!!!” Jon wrote happily in the captions on Instagram. He shared some specifics: “Atlantic City for dinner with Colleen’s Dad.” “We call him “Dude,'” Jon revealed. Nicknames can be fascinating things, but of course, many fans were immediately curious about the conspicuously missing face. “Hannah is still at the the beach with her friends,” Jon shared. This is a good time to remember that Hannah is 15. Playing at the beach with friends is a very age-appropriate activity. “And of course,” Jon’s caption continued. “Collin wouldn’t miss a meal!!!” Speaking of the sextuplets being 15, Collin is 15 years old. To be 15 is to be ravenous at all times. Jon went on to share that they were dining at “our favorite place Back Bay Ale House!!!” Whether that was an arranged endorsement or just an earnest shoutout is anyone’s guess. “I Love Colleen, I love my kids,” Jon affirmed affectionately. “And I Love my life, my family, and my friends,” he added. “Things are good!!!” Jon gushed. “I really can’t complain,” he admitted. “I’m truly blessed!!!” It’s it a beautiful thing to watch someone turn their entire life around for themselves and for at least part of their family? Jon and Colleen have enjoyed a summer of romantic fun. But though they may be acting like a couple newly in love, they have been dating for several years. Giddiness aside, this is a serious relationship that includes a blended family of two of Jon’s children. It’s always possible that wedding bells could be on the horizon for these two. If so, it’s great that Jon is taking the time to bond with Colleen’s family — in this case, with “Dude.” Colleen has spent a lot of time with Collin and Hannah, welcoming Jon’s children into her home. By all accounts, Colleen is a kind and loving person. We can only imagine the sort of shock that the two young teens must have felt after years under Kate Gosselin’s tyrannical rule. Kindness, joy, fun, and respect can be a wonderful and nurturing environment for teens. We are so grateful — as we’re sure that Jon is — that he found a partner who is happy to help create a loving home. Even without his kids, Jon is clearly grateful to have found such a loving partner who loves him back. Not everyone finds love again after escaping from a toxic marriage. And, let’s be completely honest here — Jon Gosselin has had his issues over the years. Not everyone saw him as a prize. But Colleen accepted him, baggage and all. It’s been amazing to watch this romance blossom. Jon can do, and has done, much worse.

Tyler Baltierra: Does He Regret Giving His Daughter Up for Adoption?

Tyler and Catelynn Baltierra are raising two little kids at home. But these reality stars are actually the biological parents of three kids, having given up a daughter named Carly for adoption back when they were teeangers because they didn’t feel prepared for parenthood at the time. The Teen Mom OG cast members actually spent time with their first-born this summer in anticipation of Carly turning 10 years old. In celebration of this same occasion, Tyler and Catelynn opened way up about this daughter on Monday night’s emotional and revealing episode of this same MTV franchise. And we mean way up. They grew especially candid at times. When a producer asked Tyler what he’d tell someone who was thinking of placing their little boy or girl up for adoption, he said knowing other family is key. Does this mean he regrets the way things transpired with Carly? Tyler didn’t go that far, but he did say the following on air: “The only thing I would say, just make sure the family you want your baby to be raised with, you know very, very well. They’re your kid’s whole world,” he advised. Speaking of Carly’s adoptive parents, Brandon and Teresa Davis, the veteran MTV personality added: “We know Brandon and Teresa were a little more reserved than we were. We weren’t raised around that kind of lifestyle, so we’re like, that’s how these well-off people act.” Tyler and Catelynn are raising five-year old Nova at the moment, along with little Vadea, who was born in February . “If we would have known what we know now, we might have been like, we want kinda people that are kinda just relaxed,” Tyler added. Tyler went on to acknowledge the situation was likely just as strange for the Davis family. Just consider: They thought they’d be adopting a little girl in privace; they couldn’t possibly have predicted Tyler and Catelynn would become legitimate reality stars and this situation would continue to be discussed all these years later. “Our situation’s super not normal,” Tyler said simply. Talking to the same producer, Catelynn explained that young Nova doesn’t fully comprehend the situation with Carly. “We don’t get into too much detail because she’s so young,” she said. “We just said she lives far away.” That’s fair, right? How else do you explain the concept of adoption to a toddler? When Carly is older, Catelynn said she and Tyler would “tell her the raw reality” of why they put her up for adoption in the first place. In a preview for next week, meanwhile, it looks like Carly and Nova will actually meet for the first time. “One thing we never thought about was explaining it to our children, especially our situation, we’re still together,” Tyler concluded.

Matt Brown Reconciles with Billy, Plans Return to Alaskan Bush People!

Late last month, reports came out that Matt Brown was banned from filming Alaskan Bush People after his sobriety struggles and a family conflict. That wasn’t just sad for viewers — it was a source of grief for the whole family. Now, there’s wonderful news for everyone involved — especially Matt himself. As you may recall, even when we reported on the falling out between father and son, we did some further digging. We were even able to find a photograph of Matt in Washington, which seemed to indicate that things were on the mend. Now, RadarOnline confirms that we were right on the money. “Matt is already back in California,” the insider reports. The source notes that this is “after spending a week with his family in Washington,” “But,” the insider adds. “He really had a great trip home.” “He made up with his father,” the insider announces. “Which is huge.” “He was able to make up with his father,” the source repeats. “And,” the insider shares. “They were able to come to an agreement that would bring Matt back to the show.” That is a huge relief — though, of course, a little too late for this current season. The source clarifies that Matt’s return is slated “for the season after this one.” Of course, there’s one very serious ground rule. “Billy told Matt that he must stay sober from now on,” the insider reveals. “Or else,” the source warns. “The deal is off.” “Of course, Matt agreed,” the insider adds. We’re sure that no one is more invested in Matt remaining sober than Matt himself. While Matt hasn’t made a formal announcement about returning to the show, he has dropped “hints” about his reconciliation with his family. “Taking in this peaceful view of this lake here and I was thinking about you all guys,” Matt said in a recent Instagram video. Notably, in the video, he is overlooking Lake Loomis.  “I know that I haven’t done a video in a while,” he acknowledged. “So I just wanted to say ‘hey.’” “I hope you all have a good weekend,” he expressed. “And I know that we will out here.” “Alright,” Matt concluded. “Love you all!” Years ago, Matt developed a problem with alcohol and had to become sober. In recent years, however, worries over his mother’s battle with Stage 4 lung cancer contributed to his return to drinking. (It was not the only factor, but it was certainly a major one) Last year, the family staged an intervention, and Matt attended rehab along with therapy and meetings and hired a sobriety coach. Even with that support, he faltered and slipped at times. Now, he is once again on the straight and narrow. Fans and family alike are proud of Matt for taking these difficult steps to better his life. Still, Matt Brown will need to remain sober if he intends to make good on the deal that he and Billy have struck. But we believe 100% that he can avoid alcohol or even the temptation to drink. Right now, he’s back to enjoying his life in Southern California. Having so many social options (including a rumored mystery girlfriend) should help with emotional support until he sees his family again.

Jana Duggar: I’m Still Searching for Mr. Right!!!

When it comes to Jana Duggar, nearly every celebrity gossip fan out there only has one question to ask: IS SHE OR ISN’T SHE? Are these folks asking if — like so many other members of her famous family — Jana is pregnant? LOL, no. She would need to actually be married first, and to be married she would need to be courting first, and that’s what this inquiry is really all about. Is the 29-year old finally in a relationship or not?!? This topic hangs over everything Jana does or says on social media, as made evident this week when Duggar visited her sister, Jinger, in California, sharing a seemingly simple and innocent photo of herself on the beach in the process. “Happiness is a new dress on a sunny beach!” wrote Jana as a caption to the image. But followers appear to disagree; they seem to think happiness is a new man in her life and they’re desperate to know whether any romance is on the horizon for Duggar. “Would love to see you finding your handsome prince,” one person wrote in the comment section of one of Jana’s California posts, prompting the reality star to actually respond. “Maybe he’s riding in on a green turtle instead of a white horse,” she wrote in reply, adding: “Still searching for Mr. Right. In the words of Michael Bublé, “Just haven’t met [him] yet!” This clap back is interesting for two reasons: The Michael Buble song “Haven’t Met You Yet” was released in 2009. What a random reference a decade later! Could Jana have been hinting here that she’s actually dating Lawson Bates?!? Rumors of a Lawson Bates-Jana Duggar relationship have been running rampant on the Internet for ages now. We last wrote about this possibility as recently as July . Why would some social media followers infer from Jana’s above response that she’s with Bates? Because Duggar mentions a turtle in it and because Lawson shared a photo of himself holding a turtle on Instagram on July 15, 2019. That’s it. That’s the reason. Jana’s response was also interesting to many of her supporters due to her “Mr. Right” phrasing — because there’s been some talk out there about whether or not she’s a lesbian. Earlier this year, Duggar addressed rumors that she was dating her friend Laura DeMasie , who is often shown hanging out with the Duggar family (and specifically Jana) on Counting On. “No,” Jana replied previously to a fan online questioning her and Laura’s relationship status. “And I would like to stop that rumor. I have no interest in girls that way whatsoever.” In this same fan response, Jana also addressed her search for a husband. “I have ‘courted’ or ‘dated’ a few guys, but so far nothing has gone into a serious relationship,” she wrote. “Just continuing to wait and pray for the right guy to come along.” View Slideshow: Jana Duggar: REAL Reason She’s Still Single Revealed?!
