11 Stars Twitter Wants To Protect From 2016

This has been a pretty rough year in terms of losing our icons, and losing them at ages that are far from what one would consider “old.” After losing George Michael, Ricky Harris and Carrie Fisher in a span of days at the tail end of the year, Twitter users are more than disappointed — they are pretty frightened. People started saying that precautions need to be taken to look out for the icons we have left, whose work we’ve grown up with and followed. Here is a list of stars Twitter users said we need to keep a 24/7 eye on as this disappointing year comes to a close. [ madamenoire ] LaTavia Roberson: I Was Dismissed From Destiny’s Child “And It Wasn’t Pretty” It’s been 19 years since four teen girls from Houston, Texas, came together to form Destiny’s Child, and 16 years since original members LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson were replaced by Michelle Williams, and, briefly, Farrah Franklin, but the pain lives on for Roberson. The 35-year-old has spoken about the hurt of being kicked out of one of the highest-selling girl groups of all time on more than one occasion, but this time Roberson is putting all of her thoughts all in one place: A memoir to be released in the spring of 2017. [ madamenoire ] Kodak Black Responds To Internet Slander After Instagram Shower Video Kodak Black took a shower on Instagram Live. Of course, he dropped the phone and exposed himself. Of course, we laughed. Kodak Black‘s attention whore radar went off the meters Tuesday when he decided to take a shower on Instagram Live. Apparently, the attention got so overwhelming that he dropped his phone by mistake, we think. The phone conveniently dropped screen-side up, giving his followers a floor up view of Black’s “Lil Kodak.” If you’re into that kind of thing, you can look for yourself here. The people who got assaulted by the image responded immediately while the rest of us were blindsided by the screenshot on our timelines.

#BlackGirlMagic: Simone Biles Named Female Athlete Of The Year By The Associated Press

Continued here:

If there is one person who had an incredible 2016, it’s none other than powerhouse gymnast Simone Biles. She turned in an absolutely stunning performance at the 2016 Olympic Games, a history-making performance that netted her five gold medals and the attention of the entire world. Since then she’s gotten to meet President Obama and […]

Azealia Banks Goes OFF on Nicki Minaj in Epic Rant

Azealia Banks is having quite the, um – interesting? – day on social media. Earlier today, Banks joked about having a miscarriage in a Facebook rant that’s since been deleted. Obviously, that earned the eternally-thirsty rapper some of the attention she so desperately craves, but obviously it wasn’t enough. If you’re familiar with Ms. Banks’ career, you know that she’s less well-known for her music (though “212” is admittedly the jam) than for her hilariously melodramatic beefs with other celebrities. Previously, Azealia has feuded with Iggy Azalea , Kanye West, Jay Z, and just about anyone else who has ever rapped, listen to rap, wrapped a present, or used the phrase “it’s a wrap.” So we suppose it was only a matter of time before Azealia set her sights on the self-proclaimed queen of hip-hop, Nicki Minaj. Check out the (since deleted) Facebook rant that Azealia posted to her Facebook page, in which she reveals that she’s working on music with Nicki’s ex, Safaree Samuels , and otherwise goes off on her fellow emcee: “Nicki girl… now listen. Don’t start throwing shade cause you miss Safaree and know that I’ve actually made a BANGER with him. “Don’t get mad, get even. Slim down a bit (especially in your neck and arms). Decrease the butt just a bit (I’ve seem your butt make some really expensive dresses look really cheap) and STOP WEARING SPANDEX AS AN OUTFIT FOR F–KS SAKE. “Also stop calling yourself the queen of rap. Queens don’t wear spandex sweety. Marketing genius yes but your cheap made in China perfume smells like car freshener and your beverage tastes like kitchen cleaner. “McDonalds sells a lot of burgers but no one is telling McDonald’s that they’re the pinnacle of cuisine and taste. This is true of you.” She goes on to argue that not only did Nicki rip off Lady Gaga, she was at her best when she was stealing Gaga’s look: “I don’t understand why you are so impressed with yourself. “Do yourself a favor and image search gaga 2011 and pick that back up! The “real” Nicki is not as interesting as Gaga knock-off Nicki. “In 2017 I hope you find some new inspiration and decrease your butt implants you would honestly look SOOOOO much better if they were just 150 cc smaller.” It’s actually not the first round of the ongoing Azealia vs. Nicki feud, but it’s definitely the most brutal. Astonishingly, Nicki has yet to fire back, but you can bet it’s coming.

Farrah Abraham Trashes Amber Portwood, Calls BS on Teen Mom Departure

The cameras may not be rolling on Teen Mom OG… … but that doesn’t mean that two of the show’s stars are done making headlines. Earlier this week, Amber Portwood stunned the reality show community when she announced she was quitting Teen Mom OG , citing the unfair way she’s been portrayed as the basis for her departure. “I’ll be leaving #teenmomog sadly,” Amber captioned a cast photo that depicted her alongside with Maci Bookout, Farrah Abraham and Catelynn Lowell. Seems pretty straightforward, doesn’t it? Added Portwood, in an attempt to make her position clear: “The way I have been portrayed and treated is unfair. @MTV sending all my love… “If I was treated fairly it wouldn’t be an issue but it’s been nothing but disrespect since the reunion show. Which keeps continuing today… Nothing has been dealt with or has made me feel any safer to even move on with people who have continuously hidden things from the network…. “The day I’m shown some respect by the people I’ve worked with for 8 years is the day I’ll be back. I’ve sacrificed a lot for this show.” MTV has not commented on Amber’s series of Tweets, but it does appear as if she’s keeping the door for a return open. And Abraham, for one, thinks this is all a bunch of BS. She thinks Amber wants to walk right through that door. “None of the girls will quit – they like the attention, need the money and their boyfriends need the money too much to quit,” Farrah told E! News on Friday. The controversial Teen Mom cast member added: “I get that Amber is embarrassed of her actions but she flip-flops all the time. She will be right back to filming. This is so dramatic. “She could quit and not make it public if she was truly done.” Abraham and Portwood got into it recently at the Teen Mom OG reunion special. And we mean… THEY GOT INTO IT . During the show, Abraham implied that Portwood’s fiancé, Matt Baier, looked like a pedophile. This set Portwood off. Big time, especially because Abraham’s boyfriend, Simon, had called Baier a pedophile back in October. The peeved Teen Mom stormed the stage and attacked Abraham, causing Abraham’s father, Michael, to also rush the stage, in defense of his child. You can see it all unfold when you watch Teen Mom OG online via our friends at TV Fanatic and/or when you click PLAY on the video below: Farrah Abraham & Amber Portwood FIGHT at Teen Mom Reunion! WATCH NOW! Following this fracas, Amber, Maci McKinney and Catelynn Baltierra staged a reunion walkout in protest of what they believed to be MTV’s preferential treatment of Farrah. The much-maligned star, however, thinks she was on the receiving end of some illegal behavior. “I didn’t have to attend the rest of the reunion or specials [because of what I consider Amber’s] criminal behavior,” Abraham said to Us Weekly of what happened at the reunion. “MTV legal has said I no longer will ever have to work with or around Maci, Catelynn or Amber.” It sounds as if Farrah thinks she won’t have a choice, though, despite what Amber just alleged on social media.

Keke Palmer: Stop Bullying Kylie Jenner for Being Ugly!

Keke Palmer is known for being open and honest about literally everything. She really is just a gift that way. She never holds back, she’s always a delight, and honestly, we’re just so glad that the world worked out in a way that we get to experience her wondrousness firsthand. For her latest act of greatness, Keke took it upon herself to defend none other than Kylie Jenner. See, our girl got a little upset after seeing this meme of Kylie that had been making the rounds: The meme shows Kylie back in 2012, when she was just 15 years old, before all the changes she’s made to her looks. Back then, according to the photo, people used to say “Kylie’s so ugly! Why can’t she just grow up?” It shows that photo beside a current photo of Kylie, one that showcases all her (alleged!) surgical enhancements . But the new Kylie apparently has people saying “Ew, Kylie’s so fake! What happened to her?” Yes, it seems like poor Kylie, in the eyes of many, has always been in a sort of “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation when it comes to her appearance . That’s awful. And Keke simply will not stand for it. She shared the meme, and along with it, she shared this lengthy but heartfelt message: After Trump’s win, I really was convinced that we have become so obsessed with making things appear to be real than needing them to actually BE real. AKA: Reality [television emoji] , that’s the gag. Reality television is based off of the desire WE HAVE to see non scripted shows that MIMIC reality, “false things appearing real” that’s the ART of it, how they can make us THINK it is. And many social media platforms support that same thing. We have settled for knock off truth in our actual reality because it’s socially acceptable to lie for likes. Looking at this photo above I couldn’t help but stop dead in my tracks because even though I do feel like this family sets an example that it’s good to change for societies affection, how can you blame them? We don’t think that this young woman deserves the attention she receives because of the message it sends but we don’t even think about the fact that for years the whole world damn near agreed that she was ugly. A CHILD, that girl was a child and she was bullied and named ugly, and not as a character but as HERSELF … And unlike some that experience such ridicule she had the $$$ to change, she “fixed” what the world said was broken and it worked! Now you are mad that it was that easy? When the generation has already been force fed to love things that are false and appear as real. We are confused!  So many of us on who we should be and how we should act, who we should like and how we should pursue them. It’s all been brought to another level because being fraudulent is our countries most popular trend. If only we could accept one another instead of bullying each other into change. We wouldn’t be so confused or misunderstanding all of these mixed messages that ultimately tell us to trade attention for respect and love for possession. We could instead let our differences TEACH us something new instead of walking around looking, acting and being the same. WE DIFFERENT FOR A REASON. Preach, Keke. Preach.

Maisie Williams Nude Photos Leak, Actress Responds

Some idiotic Internet user has clearly never watched Game of Thrones. Because he or she has dared to mess with Maisie Williams. The actress – best known and absolutely beloved for playing Arya Stark on the aforementioned HBO drama – has become the latest nude photo hacking victim, with pictures of Williams in a state of undress having hit the Internet. Out of respect, we’re not about the post the images here, but they have been making the rounds on Reddit for days. The pictures depict the 19-year-old posing topless on a rock. Her back is turned to the camera and she’s with two female friends who are also in skimpy outfits. A rep for Williams has even issued a statement to The New York Post, confirming that his client is featured in the photos, while also downplaying their racy nature. “The images online were shared from Maisie’s personal social media account,” this rep tells Page Six, adding: “The images are not explicit in nature, but pictures of Maisie and close friends at a spa at a recent visit to Japan.” Such a violation of privacy is galling under any circumstance, of course. But Williams took this trip to Japan in order to protest dolphin shows and the hunting of the aquatic mammals. We guess that’s why they say no good deed goes unpunished, huh? Because people on the Internet can often suck a whole lot, Williams is merely the latest female star to suffer from an online hacking. Remember The Fappening  in 2014? Remember when Jennifer Lawrence nude pics broke loose on the World Wide Web? Kristen Dunst and Kaley Cuoco were among the other actress victimized at that time by some loser hacker, while Saturday Night Live star Leslie Jones watched her nude pics get stolen and released over the summer. Williams, meanwhile, has long been an outspoken enemy of sexism . She calls out misogyny whenever she sees it and she was responsible for one of our favorite quotes ever on the topic. “We should stop calling feminists ‘feminists,’” the young star once said. “And just start calling people who aren’t feminist ‘sexist” and then everyone else is just a human. You are either a normal person or a sexist. People get a label when they’re bad.” We can’t say this loudly enough: AMEN, MAISIE WILLIAMS! Williams will return to the small screen for Game of Thrones Season 7 next year. We’ll obviously be tuning in because Game of Thrones is awesome and epic and everyone with a television ought to be watching. But also just to cheer on Williams. She’s only 19 years old and she’s more mature and insightful than a majority of people on this planet. And certainly a lot more than the moron who leaked her semi-naked photos online.
