Source: FayesVision/WENN.com / WENN Tyga proved that he still had hits left in the chamber after his massive 2011 single “Rack City” with 2018’s “Taste” featuring Offset, and the release of his seventh studio album, Legendary . Now, the 29-year-old rapper is back in the major label fold after inking a multi-million dollar deal with Columbia Records. As exclusively reported by Variety , Tyga, born Michael Ray Stevenson, signed with Columbia Records after the success of the aforementioned “Taste” and appearances on chart-topping hits from Iggy Azalea on “Kream” and “Go Loko” from YG. Tyga told the outlet that the pairing between him and Columbia is something he’s looking forward to. From Variety : Joining the Sony Music label was a decision made with a global view, Tyga tells Variety. “They definitely understand the global brand,” he says of the company. “I have a lot of fans worldwide — in places I’ve never been like South America, and in places I have been like Asia and Europe. They can help bring that to a larger scale. Doing it independently, you don’t really have those teams to help worldwide. Sony, if you look at the history from what they’ve done from Pharrell to Beyonce to Adele — then you look at Lil Nas X, one of their new artists that’s blown up this year — they’ve done a lot for artists globally, for their brand. That’s why I wanted to partner up with them.” Congrats to Tyga! — Photo: WENN
Just when you think you know everything about absolutely everyone on This Is Us, it turns out… … you do not. This simple, yet surprising, message was at the heart This Is Us Season 4 Episode 4, an installment titled “Flip a Coin” that taught viewers about Kevin and The Manny , Randall and Beth in college during a parental visit, baby Jack and music and a whole lot more. Let’s start with KATE , shall we? In the past, fans saw a teenage version of this character still struggling with a purpose after her brothers went off and she remained home. When she finally turned off Buffy the Vampire Slayer (good taste in TV shows!), Kate ventured to the record store and bought some new CDs — and also got a job! In the present, tensions between Kate and Toby continued to fester, which had been a theme of the previous two episodes . They took young Jack to a music class, which didn’t turn out well because he kept getting scared by the instruments and singing. After going back and forth each other, the couple took their son to the beach. While he was frightened by the class, viewers do at least know he goes on to have quite a bit of success in music — and, as Kate noted, music is something he can do even without his sight. What about RANDALL and BETH ? The first question: Do these two owe everything to Rebecca? In the past, she visited Randall at college and got the sense that he longed for Beth… which, granted, was rather obvious. She proceded to take matters into her own hands by getting up and asking if they could join Beth and her mother for lunch. Such aggression paid off, notably, when Randall gave Beth a slice of lemon without her even asking. On their one and only date (at the time), Beth ordered a Coke with lemon. At lunch at school, she didn’t have a lemon for her drink. Rebecca ended up bonding with Beth’s mom over their shared widow status, as Carol inspired Rebecca to start getting her life back in order following Jack’s death. Time jump back to the present — and Carol visited for Beth’s dance studio opening. Once there, Carol said she didn’t like Randall for Beth at first… but only because she didn’t really see the strength he needed to be a proper partner for her daughter. Randall and Beth also met Malik and discovered he has a daughter. Watch This Is Us Season 4 Episode 4 Online We’ll end with KEVIN . Alternating between the present — where Kevin found out The Manny was canceled 00 and the pilot shoot for this same, This Is Us revealed quite a bit about the character. Almost more than we had ever learned before. In the present, Kevin attempted to distract Cassidy and Nicky when their planned Alcoholics Anonymous meeting was incorrectly scheduled. How so? By talking about shopping for a new RV. While out and about, Kevin and Cassidy discussed her possible divorce, his experience with The Manny and Nicky revealed the origins of his trailer. Prior to the war, you see, there was Sally, someone Jack asked out on a shy Nicky’s behalf. They planned to trek across this great nation after he returned from war — but eventually he simply stopped writing to her. After all that transpired in Vietnam, Nicky said he was “pretty broken.” Therefore, one day he figured he would just go for it, using his savings on the trailer and heading to Sally’s house unannounced. She wasn’t home, though. So, he drove off and, well that was it. He said he realized it wasn’t meant to be. In a parallel moment, past Kevin revealed his doubts about The Manny pilot to Kate and said he really wished it didn’t make it to series so he could go off, stop acting and just have a family somewhere. That was all he truly wanted. However, he then had a moment at the conclusion of the pilot filming where he connected with his baby costar and the “stupid character” on a show with a “stupid premise” wasn’t a joke anymore. He made a baby laugh and it changed his life. After relaying that story to Cassidy, Kevin did indeed buy an RV…for himself. And he moved in next to Nicky.
As excited as we already are to see another 90 Day Fiance spinoff in the works , there's nothing like the original series, is there? Original recipe 90 Day Fiance returns on November 3, and like all seven of the spinoffs it has now inspired, it's filled to the brim with drama. We're talking age gaps, gold diggers, and people keeping major life details a secret from their families. One of the stars has more baby mamas than your after Teen Mom dad. One of the stars gets accused of being a sex worker. Some fans hold out hope that there will be a secret, eighth couple made up of familiar faces: Steven and Olga. But whether or not that's the case, these seven couples are bringing more than enough drama — with just the right amount of genuine romance. Will love be enough to overcome their hurdles? Take a look at the couples and then at the trailer below and decide for yourself. 1. ANNA AND MURSEL 90 Day Fiance Season 7 introduces Anna, a mother-of-three from Nebraska, and Mursel, from Turkey. Both are 38 years old. 2. They’re clearly very sweet These two bonded at first, no joke, over a mutual love of beekeeping. Even with a bit of a language barrier, a romance bloomed between them. 3. The two met up in Turkey It wasn’t long after that Mursel proposed over social media. She said yes! 4. But … Mursel’s family does not yet know that she is a mother. Apparently they would disapprove of her having children out of a wedlock. That might not matter to most people, but it could fracture their relationship. As you can see in the trailer, standing up to his family may be beyond his abilities. 5. BLAKE AND JASMIN 90 Day Fiance Season 7 introduces Blake, a 29-year-old from LA, and Jasmin, a 27-year-old from Finland. 6. First, they met online Later, they had their first face-to-face meeting (on the outernet) in Finland. View Slideshow
Jennifer Aniston accomplished two milestones on Tuesday morning: 1. She joined Instagram. 2. She broke Instagram. And we mean the latter in a literal sense, not in the way Kim Kardashian meant it when she placed a champagne glass on her butt . After many years of remaining off the social media radar, Aniston surprised fans by sharing a picture on Instagram today — and the platform was so overwhelmed by the popularity of said photo that the star’s page immediately went down. “We are aware that some people are having issues following Jen’s page — the volume of interest is incredible!” a spokesperson for Instagram said in a statement, adding: “We are actively working on a solution and hope to have the page up and running smoothly again shortly.” The company did quickly find a solution, getting Aniston’s account up and running within an hour. As for the image that stirred up such chaos in the first place? Here it is: Oh, yes, Aniston came in strong, folks. She posted a selfie of her smiling face — and those of ex-Friends co-stars Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc. “And now we’re Instagram FRIENDS too. HI INSTAGRAM,” Aniston captioned the post. In under an hour, she had racked up more than 116,000 followers — and had followed dozens of famous pals, such as David Spade, Julia Roberts, Adam Sandler, and ex-husband Justin Theroux. Heck, Theroux even commented on the picture. “Woot-Woot! #first,” he wrote, along with a hands-up (praise) emoji and a heart. The possibility of a Friends reunion has, of course, been rumored for many years. This, despite there never really being any strong talk of any such event happening on the big screen or the small screen. Aniston has told Ellen DeGeneres in the past that she’d be open to some sort of reboot or revival or, more likely, one-off event of some kind. But nothing has ever been in the works, which actually may explain why this Instagram actually broke the Internet: Fans may have thought it was a teaser for a confirmed reunion. Alas. Aniston now has an opportunity to amass a million followers faster than any human being to date. Or two million. Or 10 million. By sharing more pictures with Cox, Perry and company? Sure, maybe. But if she wants to guarantee her place in social media history? Aniston simply has to post a picture of herself and Brad Pitt. View Slideshow: Jennifer Aniston Finally Fights Back Against All the BS
Last month, we learned that Kanye West had banned North West from wearing makeup , even though her family's brand is built on beauty products. It turns out that his sudden new priorities extend to his wife, too. As you can see in this video, Kanye tried to ban Kim from wearing her planned outfit to the Met Gala because it was “too sexy.” Ugh. On this week's Keeping Up With The Kardashians , Kanye tells Kim at the last minute that her Met Gala outfit is hurting his Man Feelings(TM). “A corset is like a form of underwear,” Kanye asserts while speaking to Kim about his misgivings. Yes and no. Bras were first invented by a woman to replace the corset, but these days, corsets are often worn on their own. “It’s hot,” Kanye acknowledges, but proceeds to frame this as some sort of bad thing. He complains: “It’s, like, it’s hot for who though?” It's for whom , though avoiding speaking like Cookie Monster is the least of Kanye's problems. See, Kim has been working on her Thierry Mugler corset for about a year. Kanye and his “dragon energy” could huff and puff all they liked, but she's not changing her outfit. And she's mad that he even asked. “So the night before the Met,” Kim lays out. “You are going to come in here and say you are not into a corset vibe?” “You give me really bad anxiety,” she accuses him. “What are you talking about?” As with most normal thoughts and feelings, Kanye just didn't seem to understand. “Why is that giving you anxiety to say that?” Kanye asks. “Because you knew last night I was having really bad anxiety,” Kim replies, her annoyance palpable. “And I don’t need any more negative energy,” she continues. “For you to now say that you aren’t into me wearing a tight dress.” Kanye then tries to complain about how sexy his wife is. We're pretty sure that he knew who she was when he married her. “You are my wife,” Kanye states pointlessly. “And it affects me when pictures are too sexy.” That sounds like his problem. We can't imagine whine it should change Kim's behavior. “You built me up to be this like sexy person, and confidence, and all this stuff,” Kim points out. “And just because you are on a journey and you’re on your transformation,” she continues. “Doesn’t mean that I am in the same spot with you.” Very well said. See, Kanye has decided that he's now in a place, spiritually, where his wife's family's brand of being hot and tantalizing isn't for him. He says that, during his time as a rapper, he delighted in all of these unclothed women. Now, he's decided that these aren't for him — and even claims that seeing these women was impacting his soul, somehow. It's fine for him to believe that or to avoid looking at porn or whatever. But banning North from wearing makeup and trying to discourage his wife from living her fashion dreams is not fine. That's not about him anymore. Don't make your spiritual journey somebody's else's business, dude.
Usually, Duggar controversies are pretty predictable in nature. They tend to come in one of two varieties: There are the instances in which a member of the family intentionally posts something controversial on social media, such as when Derick Dillard bullied a transgender teen and was fired by TLC as a result. And then there are those cases in which a member of the family behaves in such a way that one is reminded they never learned the basics of human interaction as a result of their profoundly sheltered upbringing. For examples of this, look at any aspect of Josh Duggar’s dating profiles . But the latest scandal involving Jill Duggar is sort of an uneasy combination of these two previously-established types: On Monday, Jill posted the above photo to her Instagram page. “Today has been a really hard day as I watched a couple do what no one should ever have to do…bury their little baby,” she captioned the pic “Although our hearts break here on earth, we look forward to the day when we will see Jesus face to face, he will wipe every tear from our eyes and we will be reunited with those we miss so much,” Jill continued. “Until our race on earth is over, let us live intentionally, glorify God through our lives, serve Him well, fulfilling His purpose for our us until we draw our last breath.” Yes, Jill posted a photo of an infant’s casket. And it would be a massive understatement to say that the decision didn’t sit well with many of her fans. While Jill unquestionably posted something controversial on social media, it seems she did so not with the intention of stirring the pot, but rather as a result of a major blind spot with regard to proper social media etiquette. Jill’s heart may have been in the right place, but followers made it clear that they found her post to be in poor taste: “Not everything has to be an Instagram post, even with the purest intentions. This is insanely tacky of you to post,” one person wrote, as pointed out by OK! magazine. “Why would you post a picture of someone’s baby in a casket? You are so tacky,” another fan added. “Hopefully she got permission to post this,” a third commenter remarked. “With the Duggars being in the spotlight & [having] more than the average person viewing their profiles, it’s certainly not appropriate to post stuff like this unless given permission.” Other fans were even harsher in their criticism: “This is someone else’s deepest heartbreak. I hope you rethink this post and delete it,” one user commented. “Oh boy hope you rethink this post…this is such a private heartbreaking thing…not your story to tell,” another wrote. Many also pointed out that the post is poorly-timed, as it may well trigger painful memories for one of Jill’s sisters. Joy-Anna Duggar suffered a miscarriage in July, and is still so distraught by the loss that was forced to leave Amy Duggar’s baby shower in distress. Again, we imagine Jill’s suffering on behalf of her friends is genuine — but her post may not have been the best way to express her compassion.

But…can we also just talk about her skin and how dewy it looks???!!! The 47-year-old recently told Fitness that her secret is water. “It’s just important to get the water in,” she said, adding, “If you can replace sugary drinks or coffee with water you’re still ahead of the game.” She also credits her oily skin as to why she looks so young. “It’s a blessing and a curse to have oily skin , but I’m starting to believe it’s like embalming fluid that’s sort of keeping me youthful-looking,” she told Elle back in 2016 . That, and Julie Hewett’s Camellia Oil . “I also thought you shouldn’t treat oil with oil, but I started using this oil,” Gabrielle said. “I’ve told everybody about it. I’m not a paid spokesperson, but this oil is a godsend. It’s amazing. And it’s just a couple drops, and I’ve used it on my neck or my face.” Whether it’s her skin or her fantastic twist-out, Gabby stays winning.

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty The Internet had a field day on Monday after Keke Wyatt announced that she was expecting her 10th child. Yes, like 9+1. The “My First Love” singer has always been known for her brolic brood, and as soon as her new baby boy or girl arrives, she’ll have enough kids to have a little football team roster.

Wild times we’re living in .. mind yo business on both matters tho — Queen of Zamunda (@JoyyUnSpeakable) October 15, 2019 But things haven’t always been this joyful for Keke and her brood. Just last year, the singer went through a very public divorce at the same time she was 8 months pregnant with her 9th child, and her other baby boy was fighting cancer. In an emotional video from 2018, the “R&B Divas” star lashed out: “You want to know something, America? When you 8 months pregnant and you got a child sick, in and out of the hospital, and your husband got the nerve to tell you that he wants a divorce. Because… he says that you’re an emotional wreck. He says that from the very beginning you never trusted me and all that kind of stuff.” What a difference a year can make, because now Keke is married to Zachariah Daring and expecting a brand new healthy baby. Won’t he do it? 10 does sound like a lot of kids, but hit the flip for more celebs with a starting five of their own.
Source: Joseph Marzullo/WENN.com / WENN Three new accusers have come forward against Cuba Gooding Jr. with allegations of sexual misconduct . This brings the new total to five and comes just as he’s set to face a new charge this week related to an incident from last year. According to reports from TMZ citing “law enforcement sources,” several women have come forward with their own stories about Gooding. Last week, while already in court for an alleged incident that occurred this past summer, prosecutors revealed that the actor was being indicted for an alleged October 2018 incident that involved a second woman. Want Exclusives First? Click Here To Sign Up For Our Newsletter! As of now, the specific allegation against the actor involving that second accuser is unknown, but it’s expected to come up during his arraignment on Tuesday. His lawyer, Mark Heller, has already stated that Gooding will plead not guilty to that charge, going on to say that no charges were pressed immediately after the incident is said to have occurred, and that the alleged victim is only coming forward because she saw his client had been arrested earlier this year. Heller added that her attorney allegedly reached out for a settlement, but that his client “declined to be shaken down.” SEE ALSO: Cuba Gooding Jr.’s Groping Trial Is Postponed Police are said to be looking into three other alleged incidents now, which reportedly occurred in 2008, 2013, and 2015 respectively, but no charges have been filed in those cases. According to reports from Page Six , Gooding has been accused of engaging in a “pattern” of sexual misconduct throughout Manhattan bars and restaurants, alleging that the 2008 and 2013 incidents stems from Gooding allegedly grabbing a woman’s butt.

Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN When Ava DuVernay released the Emmy Award-winning Netflix series “ When They See Us ,” she likely knew that she would ruffle a few feathers. The truth can be a hard pill to swallow, so it’s not surprising that law enforcement figures who played a role in robbing the Exonerated Five of their childhoods are trying to rewrite history and misplace blame. Want Exclusives First? Click Here To Sign Up For Our Newsletter! However, the most recent legal complaint against the film is coming from an unlikely source. According to TMZ , the latest jab comes from former Chicago police officer John Reid. While Reid does not appear in the film, he’s arguing in a defamation lawsuit that the series misrepresents and demonizes his work. Reid is credited with a police interrogation tactic known as The Reid Technique, which some police training firms have done away with because they suspect that it has a tendency to produce false confessions. In the series, the technique is referenced as “universally rejected” when a prosecutor and detective are discussing the manner in which the detective coerced confessions out of the boys. SEE ALSO: Jharrel Jerome Takes Home Lead Actor Win At 2019 Emmys For ‘When They See Us’ [VIDEO] “You squeezed statements out of them after 42 hours of questioning and coercing, without food, bathroom breaks, withholding parental supervision,” the prosecutor said. “The Reid Technique has been universally rejected. That’s truth to you.” According to the lawsuit, the Reid technique does not teach officers to withhold parental supervision or deny interrogation subjects of their rights. He adds that his technique teaches officers to take caution when interviewing minors. In summary, he claims the Reid Technique rejects the practices depicted by officers in the film. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). He argues that Ava “fabricated a scene designed to broadcast to the audience a conversation they made up that included false statements as to the Reid Technique.” In July, Reid says that he demanded a retraction of comments made about the interrogation technique; however, Netflix refused.
