She found herself all up in Lil Fizz’s bed, turning the internet on its head. Of course, she is Omarion’s ex. She’s basically living your high school dreams in real time. It’s quite amazing to watch. So what is it about this woman that has these dudes compromising friendships and stabbing one another in the back? Well, we scoured a few of her most banging IG pics to show you what the deal is. Take a look and see if you finally understand. View this post on Instagram Peace and love @fashionnova A post shared by Apryl (@aprylsjones) on Jun 12, 2019 at 5:14pm PDT
Source: VH1 / VH1 Joe Budden loves drama almost as much as he loves (at the very least) cursing at and about any woman who he disagrees with. A couple of nights ago, Crissles of the popular podcast The Read, posted this quote from A$AP Rocky a few years ago in which he basically disregarded the Black Lives Matter movement. I thought of this when I heard about ASAP Rocky's situation in Sweden. pic.twitter.com/Ji8dIdUZKh — jeremy bearimy (@crissles) July 9, 2019 Of course all of that is quite the irony because he is now being detained unjustly in Sweden. While the world is trying to fight for his freedom that old quote only comes off as more toxic and ignorant than ever. That’s where Joe Budden comes in. The failed rapper turned reality star turned podcast host took Crissles tweet to heart and had this to say. so this why Crissle dragging Joe Budden btw. pic.twitter.com/N5g4lYnicR — Denzel. (@fauxdenzel) July 10, 2019 Twitter was NOT playing with that man and saw this as yet another opportunity to drag his a$$ all the way across the internet. It got ugly for Joe very quickly. Take a look… Joe Budden beat up his ex-girlfriend until she miscarried. Is this a good day to bring that up again or nah? — Zerlina Maxwell (@ZerlinaMaxwell) July 10, 2019

Source: picture alliance / Getty Teen Who Couldn’t Get Six Flags Job Because Of Locks Gains Modeling Deal Back in March, Kerion Washington was denied a position at the Six Flags in Texas all because of his hair. Now the teen is working with a modeling agency for the same reason. According to Madame Noire , Washington’s story went viral when he didn’t get the Six Flags job because of his locs: “They told me I could cut my hair and come back, that it’s just hair and it would grow back,” he told Dallas News . “But they compared it to having a tattoo. I didn’t want to cut it.” A few months passed and Washington received an Instagram message from Corrie Caster, head of development for IMG Los Angeles. IMG represents major models like Bella and Gigi Hadid , Kate Moss and Ashley Graham . Caster heard about Washington’s story, peeped his photo and reached out to talk modeling potential: “I scout the world looking for talent and stories,” Caster said. “I didn’t know his story then, but he had a lot of the physical features we look for in our models.” View this post on Instagram What yall think about it #kerionwashington #jonesmodelmanagement #thinkbig #newface #malemodel #jonesingtobeajones A post shared by Kerion Washington (@kerion_washington) on Jul 2, 2019 at 12:31pm PDT From there on out, Washington and his mom agreed to work with the local modeling agency Jones Model Management, and they traveled to Austin for his first shoot. For now, he’s learning the ends and outs of modeling such as how to walk the runway, the best positions for the camera and how to give his best pose. Once his portfolio is on and poppin’, it will be pitched to IMG Models for consideration. Winning.

Source: Derrick Salters/WENN.com / WENN You Can Now Buy Some Props From Your Favorite Marvel Netflix Show A lot of fans were disappointed by the cancellations of numerous Marvel TV shows within the past year or so, but luckily for those same people, this is actually good news for memorabilia collectors. Marvel and Prop Store have teamed up to auction off over 850 authentic props from the cancelled Netflix shows, which includes items from Daredevil , Luke Cage , and Iron Fist . The auction includes costumes, set decorations, and props from Marvel’s recently nixed Netflix lineup, according to reports from The New York Post . One of the most expensive items in the catalog is the first iteration of Matt Murdock’s Daredevil costume, which starts at $10,000 and is estimated to bring in a smooth $30,000-$50,000. Beyond that, the tank where Luke Cage was experimented on starts at $6,000 with estimates a sale between $12,000 and $15,000. But if you’re not looking to drop thousands of dollars on these props, there are plenty of more affordable items including Murdock’s cassette recorder starting at $150 and Elektra Natchios’ robe at $250. While online bidding for these items has already started, prospective buyers can also register for absentee bidding or bid over the phone during the live television auction on August 12-13. Marvel pulled the plug on its Netflix shows last year, which included Daredevil , Luke Cage , Iron Fist , Jessica Jones , and The Punisher . Many fans thought that the cancellation of these shows–or at least some of them–was only temporary so Marvel could take them over to their own upcoming streaming service, but now that they’re selling crucial set items that’s starting to look less likely.
