Rodriguez / Getty New Music: Beyonce Releases Album Inspired By ‘The Lion King’ Reboot Queen NalaYONCE was inspired by the 2019 reboot of the classic Disney film The Lion King and she gave us a full album! It’s called The Lion King: The Gift and it’s blowing up the internet. Beyoncé says the project was meant to be “ a love letter to Africa ” in a recent interview. Although curated by Nala herself, this is far from a solo project. Executive producer Bey solicited contributions from artists from various parts of the globe including Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, and South Africa. In the features, you’ll find Mr Eazi, Yemi Alade, Burna Boy, Tiwa Savage, and Tekno sing in multiple languages. She also does duets with Donald Glover and Kendrick Lamar. Even though The Gift is a separate project from the film’s official soundtrack, that doesn’t stop Beyoncé from telling that timeless story of the Pride Lands through each track. Are YOU excited for it yet? Check it out below!
All children are a blessing. We’re not here to argue this point. But some men and women are simply incompatible and, yes, even dangerous together and they really should not share any kids. Yes, we’re looking at you when making this statement, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley. The on-again/off-again/on-again/off-again/holy-crap-are-they-really-on-again?!? couple is already parents to an adorable daughter named Ariana. She was born in April of 2018 and her parents have spent every other week since fighting, arguing and alleging that the other assaulting him or her. We’re barely even exaggerating here. And yet… Ronnie just admitted that he and Harley remain a couple and MTV viewers watched in shock on Thursday night when Ronnie dropped a different kind of bombshell: He said Harley might be pregnant again. On the latest installment of this revived reality series, the group took a trip to Lake George, New York in order to help Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino get his mind off his recent jail sentencing. And this mission was quickly accomplished once everyone was sitting around a bonfire and Ronnie said his sperm may have fertilized Jen’s egg for the second time. “You might be pregnant?” replied Jenni “JWOWW” Farley. “Shut the f-ck up. Ronaldo, are you serious?” “Maybe,” he responded. “She’s late. … She wants to take [a pregnancy test] now, but I told her to wait. I want to be there when she does it.” “My mind is blown right now,” Mike confessed. Vinny Guadagnino, meamwhile, won the night with the best reaction, offering his friend some life advice while also asking the question on everyone’s minds: Pull the f-ck out. What the f-ck is wrong with you? Ronnie didn’t let these responses get him down, however. Yes, he and Jen have had their problems — and then some. It was only a few months ago that Ronnie claimed Jen assaulted him with an ashtray and Jen claimed Ronnie ransacked her Las Vegas apartment. However, “I love being a father,” he said on air last night, adding of the possibility that Harley is expecting again: “I mean, I did it once. Second time will be the same thing, if not better.” Continued the muscular veteran MTV personality: “I’m excited about it, you know. “I would rather have another child with Jen than have another child with another woman. Why would I want to have three baby moms? It’s like, let’s have kids, get one baby’s mom, and that’s what it is.” In their interviews with producers, though, other cast members weren’t quite so optimistic about the situation. Remember, they think Jen totally sucks . “It’s definitely crazy to think Jen’s pregnant again, because we just never know where they are in their relationship – if they’re happy, if they’re fighting, if she’s dragging him with a car,” said Snooki. “I just want them to be good before they bring another baby into the world.” Farley echoed this sentiment: “I feel like they need about five years of therapy before another child. It’s my opinion, I’m allowed to have it. But apparently, they’re fine. As he’s sitting there with another black eye.” And Pauly D? Let’s have your thoughts… “Like, what the f-ck, dude? You haven’t learned yet? “Their relationship is a roller coaster. The last thing they need to do is have another baby. Ron says he’s fine with it, but we all know it’s only a matter of time before he falls apart.” Watch Jersey Shore: Family Vacation Season 3 Episode 2 Online Ronnie did check into rehab earlier this year for alcoholism and depression. This either means he’s at a healthier place than ever before… or that Harley drove him to seek professional help and his pals are right, she’s a very bad influence on him. In the end, the question of Jen’s pregnancy was not resolved on the episode. But it was filmed months ago and there’s been no talk of her being with child since, so it’s safe to assume this was a false, very scary alarm. After all, Ortiz-Magro talked to Us Weekly just a few days ago and said his relationship with Jen is actually great, never bringing up an impending baby. “Things are good and I think it’s because I made a change and I stopped doing the same thing over and over again,” he told this tabloid, concluding: “I started just focusing on myself and stopped worrying about what other people wanted from me, and what I want for myself. So right now things are good.” View Slideshow: Ronnie Ortiz-Magro Reveals Rehab Stint, Admits Hitting Rock Bottom

Earlier this month, 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? star Jay Smith was arrested and placed in ICE custody ahead of his deportation. The arrest was over violating a domestic violence protection order issued by his ex, Ashley Martson. Now, Ashley is clearing the air — and explaining that people who tried to “help” Jay fight deportation were lied to about what that money is for. “In regards to the GoFundMe…it was all lies,” Ashley Martson says to Celebuzz . “The GoFundMe was made to pay for a criminal defense attorney to fight a PFA violation,” she explains. That is “not an immigration lawyer as the GoFundMe story led people to believe.” The GoFundMe set up for Jay has also said that the PFA violation charges were dropped. But Ashley says that this is just another lie. “She specifically states the charges were dropped for the PFA on the GoFundMe,” Ashley points out. “That was a total lie.” “We had court today,” she shares. “Where a judge found Jay guilty of violating the PFA.” Being found guilty of something is very different from the charge being dropped. “Everyone who donated money paid for an attorney to try and fight charges of abusing a woman,” Ashley explains. “Aot to save Jay from deportation.” Deportation, she points out, has been a foregone conclusion for Jay for some time, now. Ashley says that the stripper who set up Jay’s GoFundMe is also the girl whom he is currently dating. She also says that they started dating back in January , which makes for a nauseating cheating timeline. “I just want this behind me,” Ashley expresses. “A PFA isn’t easy to acquire…” “If I did show the evidence people’s jaws would drop,” she promises. “It’s sad they don’t know the truth,” Ashley admits. “But I am not going to post it. It’s very disturbing.” Ashley doesn’t want to show the public evidence of domestic abuse — she showed it to the court, and that should be enough. “Jay will be deported,” Ashley predicts. “This takes quite some time.” “It could be a year until he will actually be deported,” she adds. “He had many chances to return home,” Ashley points out. “He knew he was here illegally.” Ashley explains that she wasn’t playing control games with Jay and the paperwork — he was the one toying with her heart. “As for people saying I held his status over his head, that’s not true,” Ashley emphasizes. She explains that “He knew I wasn’t willing to do the paperwork.” “Anyone who has a family and assets would never put all that on the line,” Ashley expresses. At least, not “for [someone] who used, abused, and constantly disrespected them.” Ashley has accused Jay of abuse. Alleged text messages shared by a 90 Day Fiance castmated appear to accuse Jay Smith of rape . His cheating was obnoxious, but it seems very clear that his toxic relationship with Ashley was much worse than viewers ever knew. Hopefully, the courts will do their job, and this will all be part of the past. In the mean time, we just wonder if any of these accusations will be touched upon at the Tell All special.

Khloe Kardashian just got super real on Instagram and we’re not so sure we’re here for it. But the reality star is setting the record straight and explaining how she really feels about cheating ex Tristan Thompson … *deep breath* And even though the rest of the world hit cancel on the Cleveland Cavaliers player back in February after one of the most backstabbing affairs ever , Khloe is choosing kindness and apparently, she is actually forgiving the guy. After an Instagram user posted a side-by-side photo of Tristan Thompson with daughter True Thompson earlier this week, Khloe had a subtle yet very shocking response. “I know Khloe hates Tristan, but Baby True [is] starting to look just like him,” read the post. And on Wednesday, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians low-key dissed the user. “Why would I ever hate anyone who helped create such an angel?” she wrote in the comments section. “People make mistakes, but I won’t hurt my own healing by holding on to hate.” “I’m too busy raising my beautiful baby and securing that [money] to hate any individual,” she continued. “Sweet True has always looked like her daddy. She’s beautiful!!” The fan acknowledged that he heard her defensive message loud and clear — as we all did! But just in case some people were still confused by why the heck Khloe is out here sticking up for Tristan, she took to her Instagram Stories to further explain. “Hate no one, no matter how much they’ve wronged you,” her message read. “Live humbly, no matter how wealthy you become. Think positively, no matter how hard life is.” “Give much, even if you’ve been given little,” she continued. “Forgive all, especially yourself.” “And never stop praying for the best for everyone.” In addition to her choosing kindness initiative , she also shared a few words from author Anthony Douglas Williams. “We are here to heal, not harm,” the post read. “We are here to love, not hate. We are here to create, not destroy.” The Good American owner and the NBA star broke up earlier this year after his numerous counts of infidelity , one being with her sister’s BFF ( you all know how that story goes), but now it seems Khloe is taking the high road. We don’t know what to think, but I guess for baby True’s sake we are proud of Khloe’s selfless decision. And yeah, yeah love always wins. She and Tristan have remained somewhat civil with one another and are also doing a pretty good job at co-parenting True. Tristan even bought a house close to the Kardashian sister so he could spend more time with their daughter. Back in May Khloe discussed the situation saying, “It does f–king suck because our personal emotions are still in there.” “So those emotions can be heightened at times, but I do everything in my power –True is 1 and, like, a month old, so she doesn’t really know what’s happening,” she explained. “But to me she does know and she feels energy and I’m a big believer of that.” “I do everything in my power to not put just any sort of heavy energy around her,” the Kardashian continued. “Maybe that sounds a little too bohemian to some people,” Khloe finished. You do you, Khlo! You’re a great mother and we support your decisions. Well, as long as you don’t get back with Tristan, of course.

In July of 2018, Demi Lovato suffered an overdose that almost claimed her life. Lovato has struggled with addiction for much of her life, but prior to her near-tragic relapse, the singer had been sober for over six years. The incident served as a reminder that every addict is forever on the precipice, one slip-up away from undoing years of recovery. Fortunately, with the help of her loved ones and a team of addiction specialists, Demi was able to turn things around. Immediately after checking out of the hospital, Lovato entered rehab and has been sober ever since. On social media, she’s been admirably candid about her struggles, which is why many fans are surprised by Demi’s decision to go silent as the one-year anniversary of her overdose approaches. Demi’s most recent post is this Instagram tribute to her recently-deceased dog, which appeared nearly three weeks ago. “RIP Bailey.. we love and miss you already sweet girl. So grateful we had so many years with you.. say hi to Buddy for me in Doggy heaven,” Lovato captioned the pic. Apparently, the death of her beloved pet is just of several recent events that have Demi down in the dumps at a particularly vulnerable time. “She lost her dog Bailey about a month ago, and she’s gone dark on social media since then,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. The insider adds that Lovato has been “isolating herself from the outside world” in recent weeks. “She is living with her mom, and her mom is worried, but she would never let anything happen to her daughter on her watch,” the source claims. Further complicating her current situation is the fact that Demi’s ex-boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama has been flaunting his new relationship with model Amanda Pacheco. Obviously, that’s his right, but apparently, the display of affection has been tough for Lovato to endure. “Demi isn’t loving Wilmer being in love with his new girlfriend, because it just reminds her of what she lost,” said the source. The insider added, “This whole year has continued to be a loss for her.” We’re hoping Demi doesn’t really feel that way, as it’s almost impossible to imagine a more productive 12 months. Demi got sober, got her life back on track, and inspired untold millions to look after themselves more closely. Just today, we learned that Real Housewives of New York star Luann de Lesseps was inspired by Demi in her battle against alcoholism. And there’s no telling how many similarly-profound connections Demi might have made this year without ever knowing it. Demi is sure to go through rough patches in her recovery, but hopefully, even in her darkest hours, she’s able to take comfort in the fact that she was able to transform her greatest challenge into a source a guiding light for so many.

Kate Gosselin’s eldest daughters Mady and Cara sure grew up fast! The twins, who seem to be closer to their mom than their six siblings, recently celebrated their high school graduation . Now Kate and the twins are bursting with excitement for the next chapter of their lives. This fall, the twins will finally separate as they each fly the nest and head to different colleges. “They’re both so excited,” Kate said of the twins while speaking with People magazine. She explained, “They agreed all along that they don’t want to go to the same school because their ambitions are so different.” Don’t worry, the family won’t actually be all that far apart. Both the girls will be attending college in New York, while Kate, along with their brothers and sisters, will be nearby in Pennsylvania. Perhaps being relatively close to home will allow the girls frequent opportunities to go home and visit their mom. “We are all going to miss them,” Kate told People . “I don’t care if they only come home to see the dog,” she joked, ” as long as they come home!” Though Kate will no doubt miss her eldest daughters, she’ll have a far-from-empty nest left to tend. Four of her children — Joel, Leah, Alexis, and Aaden — still live with her. Notably, two more of her kids, Hannah and Collin, have also left to live with their father Jon. But that still leaves Kate with half of her horde of kids to take care of, enough to keep any mom busy. Speaking of busy, Kate is now puzzling out how to juggle the back-to-school madness that comes with having kids at multiple schools. “Within six days, Mady has to be dropped off, Cara has to be dropped off, and the little kids begin their first day of high school,” Kate explained. She added that “Keeping straight the deadlines and dates for two different schools is mind-blowing.” It’s actually three schools, but hey, counting is hard, and we’re guessing Kate is fairly used to the high school routine by now. Kate also has her hands full with her own new reality series, Kate Plus Date . The series explores Kate’s re-entry into the dating pool at a time in her life when she feels her especially vulnerable. “Pretty soon,” she told Extra last month, “I am going to be alone, just me and the dogs.” “It was kind of now or never,” Kate recalled. Kate said she was apprehensive about dating again, especially after her very painful and public divorce from Jon. “I didn’t want my kids to have to go through that again,” Kate said. “I have to get it right,” she decided, “the stakes are really high.” It’s nice that she’s so concerned for her kids, but according to her, the kids have been cheering her on. Mady and Cara especially have reportedly been pushing her to date again. We hope the twins have a smooth transition into college life. A break from the cameras could be good for them. But we join many fans in hoping they’ll still have time to show up on Kate Plus Date now and then. View Slideshow: 23 Infamous Kate Gosselin Scandals
Kim Kardashian delivered a major plot twist when she revealed she was studying to become a lawyer earlier this year. It may be hard to imagine Kim representing anyone in court, and not just because she hasn't yet passed her Bar exam. But now that Wendy Williams is calling out for Kim's help, it's clear that Kim's influence and legal know-how are already in high demand . In a recent segment on her talk show show, Wendy Williams asked Kim Kardashian to help get A$AP Rocky released from jail in Sweeden. The 30-year-old rapper was arrested for assault after he and his crew were involved in a street altercation in Stockholm late last month. The beatdown was caught on camera, but Rocky's lawyer insists that it was done in self-defense. Additional footage of the incident, posted to the rapper's Instagram seems to confirm the lawyer's account. In the videos, we can plainly see that Rocky and his crew are being followed and harrassed by shrimpy guys who should really know better. Rocky and his entourage all but beg the two men to leave them alone and “walk the other way.” Of course, both men repeatedly refused to take the advice and continued to stalk the crew around Stockholm, resulting in the eventual fight and arrests. Look, laws are laws, and violence should always be discouraged. But after watching the tapes, it's hard not to feel like those jerks had it coming. Wendy Williams seems to think of the Swedish as organized, healthy, and humane, and assumed their prisons would follow suit. “I'm thinking the prison probably has down sheets, 700 thread count,” Wendy says in the clip. She muses, “You can eat the meatballs like at IKEA all day long.” But Wendy was appalled by the reality of Rocky's imprisonment when she learned of the horrific, inhumane conditions in his cell. “It's Holy Hell!” Wendy reveals about the prison. She goes on to explain that he sleeps “down on the floor” on something akin to a yoga mat. She adds that he has no cell-mate, and he's been alone in his cell for 16 days. “This is stupid, he needs to be released,” Wendy asserts. Apparently, this is where Kim Kardashian comes in. Wendy Williams feels that if Kim were to speak up about this, her voice would make a difference. Kim would be joining a handful of other celebrities who have spoken out about the wrongful imprisonment, including Al Sharpton, Snoop Dogg, and even Donald Trump. In fact, it's Snoop Dogg who first mentions that Kim should get involved, as Wendy's clip shows. “Hey Kim Kardashian,” Snoop says in a self-recorded video post, “go get Rocky out of jail.” “Look out for us,” the famous rapper entreats, adding “The black community needs this.” Snoop and Wendy both also call on Kanye West to simply make his wife help Rocky out, in case their pleas didn't reach her directly. But why Kim Kardashian? What exactly do all these celebrities expect her to do? Well, the “queen of celebrities” as Wendy calls her, is on track to becoming a full-fledged lawyer. And although she may not be legally certified yet, she may have a more a nuanced perspective of this issue from a legal standpoint. “She's involved with the law right now,” Wendy points out, “and this would be a big feather in her cap if she can help make this happen.” Truly, Kim's influence is so mighty that she could bring a lot of attention to Rocky's plight without ever stepping into the courtroom. But Wendy ackowledges that Kim can't pull this off all by herself. “When I say help, I mean she should not be the main person,” Wendy clarifies, suggesting Kim contact a law firm. Wendy goes on to explain that “Kim needs to be in the shadows, but clearly present, making it happen.” Wendy also suggests that Kim go so far as to make use of her connections with the white house, pushing our government to fast-track the issue with Sweeden. We love this fantasy of Kim as some kind of fame-powered superhero, fighting for justice from “the shadows” despite her insane level of visibility. We think Wendy may be giving Kim a little bit too much credit. But we live in a time when celebrities seem to make all the rules, so honestly, who even knows anymore? In any event, the world will know more about A$AP Rocky's fate on Friday, when prosecutors must either formally charge him or request to extend his detainment.
